NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Tabular information in thousands, except per share amounts)


1.
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 for the year ended December 31, 2006 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 11, Discontinued Operations. Operating results for the three month period ended March 31, 2007 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2007.
 
 
2.
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 month periods ended March 31, 2007 and 2006 is as follows:

Diluted weighted average number
             
of common shares

Outstanding options to purchase 807,238 shares of common stock and 327,945 stock-settled stock appreciation rights (SARs) at March 31, 2007 were not included in the computation of loss per share as they would be antidilutive. Outstanding options to purchase 815,044 shares of common stock and 45,456 SARs at March 31, 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 antidilutive.

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.
 
New Accounting Pronouncements - Standards to be Implemented
 
In 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 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.” SFAS 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 SFAS 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 March 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006, the carrying value of available-for-sale securities was approximately $56.9 million and $33.2 million, respectively, which are included in short-term investments. At March 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006, there was $56.3 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 28.1 years with an average interest rate reset period of 26.0 days. The available-for-sale securities within the Company’s deferred compensation plan at March 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006 consisted of approximately $198,000 and $215,000 respectively, in money market accounts, and approximately $375,000 and $447,000, respectively, in mutual funds. At March 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006, included in accumulated other comprehensive income were gross unrealized gains of approximately $121,000 and $131,000, respectively, and gross unrealized losses of approximately $3,000. In the three month periods ended March 31, 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 2.9 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 $9.7 million at March 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively, as collateral for its existing insurance policies and its facility leases. At March 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006, held-to-maturity securities were included in short-term investments (approximately $9.5 million and $36.2 million, respectively), other current assets (approximately $7.2 million and $7.2 million, respectively) and other long-term assets (approximately $2.4 million and $2.5 million, respectively). At March 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006, held-to-maturity securities included:

GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS:
 
For the three months ended March 31, 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 March 31, 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 October 2002, the Company acquired $1.0 million of preferred stock of Xylos Corporation (Xylos). In addition, the Company provided Xylos with short-term loans totaling $500,000 in the first half of 2004. The Company determined its $1.0 million investment and $500,000 short-term loan to Xylos were impaired as of December 31, 2004. The Company wrote its $1.0 million investment down to zero and established an allowance for credit losses against the $500,000 short-term loan. As of March 31, 2007, the short-term loan has been paid in full. Xylos made loan payments totaling $150,000, $250,000, and $100,000 in 2007, 2006, and 2005, respectively. These payments were recorded as credits to bad debt expense in the periods in which they were received. Of the payments received in 2006, $75,000 was received in the first quarter.
 
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 quarter 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 these services was credited as payment against the TMX loans and the balance of the loan receivable at March 31, 2007 is $500,000. The receipt of services in lieu of cash payment was recorded as a credit to loan receivable in 2005 and a credit to bad debt expense in 2007 and 2006. None of the services performed in 2006 were performed in the first quarter.

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 Company is seeking to sublease the excess 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 and long-term liabilities on the balance sheet.

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES:
 
Letters of Credit
 
As of March 31, 2007, 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.
 
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.
 
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 March 31, 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 quarter of 2007.

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. 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. 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 is currently in the process of distributing payments to the class members, their counsel and the California Labor and Workforce Development Agency in an aggregate amount of approximately $50,000.

STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION:
 
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.
 
Total stock-based compensation for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006 are as summarized in the following table:

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 will 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 has 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 March 31, 2007 and January 1, 2007, 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 accrued $1.3 million and $1.2 million for the payment of interest and penalties at March 31, 2007 and January 1, 2007, 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 March 31, 2007:

The Company is currently under audit by the Internal Revenue Service for the 2003, 2004 and 2005 tax years. To date, there are no proposed adjustments which would have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows. It is likely that the examination phase of this audit will conclude in 2007; however, based on the status of this examination and the protocol of finalizing such an audit which could include formal administrative and legal proceedings, it is not possible to estimate the impact of the amount of such changes, if any, to previously recorded unrecognized tax benefits. The Company does not anticipate a significant change to the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits within the next 12 months.

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 months ended March 31, 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. Summarized selected financial information for the discontinued operations is as follows:

LOSS OF MATERIAL CONTRACT
 
On March 21, 2007, the Company announced that a large pharmaceutical company customer had given notification of its intention not to renew its contract sales engagement with the Company when it expires on May 12, 2007. The contract, which was for a term of one-year, represented approximately $35 million in annual revenue.

SEGMENT INFORMATION:
 
The accounting policies of the segments are described in Note 1 of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006. Corporate charges are allocated to each of the operating segments on the basis of total salary costs. Corporate charges include corporate headquarter costs and certain depreciation expense. Certain corporate capital expenditures have not been allocated from the sales services segment to the other operating segments since it is impracticable to do so.

PDI, Inc.
 
Description of Businesses
 
Sales Services
 
This segment includes our Performance Sales Teams and Select Access Teams. This segment, which focuses on product detailing, represented 79.8% of consolidated revenue for the three months ended March 31, 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. PDI 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 customer than programs involving a dedicated sales force. With a shared sales team, the customer still 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 20.2% of consolidated revenue for the quarter ended March 31, 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. 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 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.

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 quarter ended March 31, 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
 
The majority of our revenue is 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 have no current contracts in our PPG segment.

Three Months Ended March 31, 2007 Compared to Three Months Ended March 31, 2006
 
Revenue
 
Revenue for the quarter ended March 31, 2007 was $32.8 million, 57.5% less than revenue of $77.1 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2006.
 
Revenue from the sales services segment for the quarter ended March 31, 2007 was $26.2 million, 60.5% less than revenue of $66.3 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, partially offset by the addition of one large contract in May 2006.
 
Effective April 30, 2006, AstraZeneca terminated its contract sales force arrangement with us; this contract represented $43.0 million in revenue in 2006, $28.3 million of which was earned in the quarter ended March 31, 2006. Additionally, 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, $17.5 million of which was earned in the quarter ended March 31, 2006. 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. This contract represented approximately $18.3 million in revenue in 2006, $4.6 million of which was earned in the quarter ended March 31, 2006.
 
Revenue for the marketing services segment was $6.6 million in the quarter ended March 31, 2007, 38.9% less than the $10.9 million in the comparable prior year period. This is attributable to decreased revenue from all three business units within this segment during the first quarter of 2007 due to a decline in projects when compared to the first quarter of 2006.
 
The PPG segment did not have any revenue in the first quarters of 2007 and 2006.
 
Cost of services
 
Cost of services for the quarter ended March 31, 2007 was $23.8 million, 59.2% less than cost of services of $58.4 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2006. Cost of services associated with the sales services segment for the quarter ended March 31, 2007 were $20.3 million, 61.3% less than cost of services of $52.5 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 $3.5 million, a $2.4 million decrease from the comparable prior year period due to the decline in projects in the first quarter of 2007.
 
Gross Profit
 
The gross profit percentage for the quarter ended March 31, 2007 was 27.4%, an increase of 3.2 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 March 31, 2007.
 
The gross profit percentage for the quarter ended March 31, 2007 for the sales services segment was 22.3%, an increase of 1.5 percentage points from the comparable prior year period. This increase in gross profit was mainly attributable to the change
 

17

PDI, Inc.

in revenue mix between the Performance Sales Team unit and the Select Access unit. Select Access had higher gross margins in both periods.
 
The gross margin for the marketing services segment increased to 47.2% in the quarter ended March 31, 2007 as compared to 45.0% in the comparable prior year period. This increase in gross profit was mainly attributable to Pharmakon constituting a larger percentage of segment revenue as Pharmakon typically has higher gross margins than the TVG and VIM units.
 
Compensation expense
 
Compensation expense for the quarter ended March 31, 2007 was $6.1 million, 5.7% less than $6.5 million for the comparable prior year period. This decrease is primarily attributable to reduced employee costs at our corporate headquarters in the first quarter of 2007. As a percentage of total net revenue, compensation expense increased to 18.6% for the quarter ended March 31, 2007 from 8.4% in the comparable prior year period. This increase was primarily attributable to the decline in revenue discussed above.
 
Compensation expense for the quarter ended March 31, 2007 attributable to the sales services segment was $3.7 million compared to $4.2 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2006; as a percentage of revenue, it increased to 14.2% from 6.4% in the comparable prior year period. This increase was primarily attributable to the decline in revenue discussed above.
 
Compensation expense for the quarter ended March 31, 2007 attributable to the marketing services segment was $2.4 million, approximately 7.0% more than the comparable prior year period. As a percentage of revenue, compensation expense for the quarter ended March 31, 2007 increased to 36.1% from 20.6% in the comparable prior year period. This increase is primarily due to the decline in revenue at all three business units of this segment as discussed above.
 
Other selling, general and administrative expenses
 
Total other selling, general and administrative expenses were $5.1 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2007, 8.2% more than other selling, general and administrative expenses of $4.7 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2006. In the first quarter of 2006, other selling, general and administrative expenses benefited from approximately $300,000 in bad debt collections recorded as credits to other selling, general and administrative expense. The quarter ended March 31, 2006 also benefited from favorable litigation settlement reversals and receipt of payments of approximately $200,000.
 
Other selling, general and administrative expenses attributable to the sales services segment for the quarter ended March 31, 2007 were $4.1 million, which was 15.7% of revenue, compared to other selling, general and administrative expenses for the comparable prior year period of $3.7 million, or 5.6% of revenue. This increase was primarily attributable to the decline in revenue discussed above.
 
Other selling, general and administrative expenses attributable to the marketing services segment for the quarter ended March 31, 2007 were approximately $1.0 million, compared to $1.1 million for the comparable prior year period. As a percentage of revenue, other selling, general and administrative expenses increased to 15.1% from 10.2% in the comparable prior year period.
 
Other selling, general and administrative expenses attributable to the PPG segment for the quarter ended March 31, 2007 were zero, compared to a credit of $83,000 in the comparable prior year period. This credit was due to the receipt of a settlement payment.
 
Operating (loss) income
 
There was an operating loss for the quarter ended March 31, 2007 of approximately $2.2 million, compared to operating income of $7.5 million in the comparable prior year period. 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 $2.0 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2007 for the sales services segment, as compared to operating income of $5.9 million in the comparable prior year period. This decrease is primarily due to the loss of significant contracts discussed above.
 
There was an operating loss for the marketing services segment of $262,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2007 compared to operating income of $1.5 million in that segment for the comparable prior year period. This decrease in operating income was due to fewer projects for the quarter ended March 31, 2007 when compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2006.
 
There was operating income from the PPG segment for the quarter ended March 31, 2006 of $83,000 due to the receipt of a settlement payment.

PDI, Inc.

 
Other income, net
 
Other income, net, for the quarters ended March 31, 2007 and 2006 was $1.4 million and $975,000, respectively, and was composed primarily of interest income. The increase in interest income is primarily due to higher interest rates and higher cash balances for the quarter ended March 31, 2007.
 
Income tax expense
 
Federal and state income tax expense was approximately $1.0 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2007, compared to income tax expense of $3.1 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2006. Income taxes for the quarter ended March 31, 2007 were impacted by an increase of $882,000 in the valuation allowance on deferred tax assets. See Note 10 to the consolidated financial statements for details on the increase in the valuation allowance.
 
(Loss) income from continuing operations
 
There was a loss from continuing operations for the quarter ended March 31, 2007 of $1.9 million, compared to income from continuing operations of approximately $5.4 million in the comparable prior year period.
 
Discontinued operations
 
There was no income from discontinued operations during the quarter ended March 31, 2007. Revenue from discontinued operations for the quarter ended March 31, 2006 was approximately $1.7 million. Income from discontinued operations before income tax for the quarter ended March 31, 2006 was approximately $372,000. Income from discontinued operations, net of tax, for the quarter ended March 31, 2006 was approximately $199,000.
 
Net(loss) income
 
There was a net loss for the quarter ended March 31, 2007 of approximately $1.9 million, compared to net income of approximately $5.6 million in the comparable prior year period.
 
 
Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
As of March 31, 2007, we had cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments of approximately $121.3 million and working capital of $112.1 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 three months ended March 31, 2007, net cash provided by operating activities was $6.8 million, compared to $4.9 million net cash provided by operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2006. The main components of cash provided by operating activities during the three months ended March 31, 2007 were:
 
·
the net loss when adjusted for depreciation and other non-cash expense of $2.6 million, which includes depreciation expense of $1.1 million and stock compensation expense of $330,000, resulted in cash flow of approximately $600,000;
 
· a net decrease in other changes in assets and liabilities of $6.0 million which includes $14.3 million of net collections of accounts receivable partially offset by a $10.9 million decrease in total liabilities.
 
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.
 
As of March 31, 2007, we had $2.3 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 March 31, 2007, we had $10.3 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 three months ended March 31, 2007, net cash provided by investing activities was $2.9 million as compared to $17.5 million used in investing activities for the comparable prior year period. Approximately $3.0 million of short-term investments included in our laddered portfolio of investment grade debt instruments matured and were not reinvested but included in cash and cash equivalents. 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 $253,000 of capital expenditures primarily for computer equipment and software during the three months ended March 31, 2007. Capital expenditures for the three months ended March 31, 2006 were $428,000 also primarily for computer equipment. For both periods, all capital expenditures were funded out of available cash.

PDI, Inc.

For the three months ended March 31, 2007, there was no net cash provided by or used in financing activities. In the comparable prior year period, there was $52,000 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. 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 three months ended March 31, 2007, we had two major clients that accounted for approximately 31.3% and 19.9%, respectively, or a total of 51.2% 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 March 21, 2007, we announced that a large pharmaceutical company customer had given notification of its intention not to renew its contract sales engagement with us when it expires on May 12, 2007. This contract, which was for a term of one-year, represented approximately $35 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 $15 million in 2007, unless that lost business is replaced.
 
Cash flows from discontinued operations are included in the consolidated statement of cash flows. 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 at least the next 12 months. However, we may require alternative forms of financing if and when we make acquisitions.
 
We have federal income tax receivables, net of the first quarter federal tax provision, of approximately $1.9 million on our balance sheet as of March 31, 2007. We expect to receive these refunds in 2007.
 
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 and we have no interest bearing long term or short term debt. At March 31, 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 March 31, 2007 were composed of the instruments described in the preceding paragraph. All of those investments mature by August 2007, with the majority having interest reset periods not greater than 35 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 Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during the quarter covered by this report that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
 
PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
 
Item 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 March 31, 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 quarter 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. As a result, we reduced our accrual relating to asserted and unasserted claims relating to this matter to $600,000 during the quarter ended December 31, 2005. 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 are currently in the process of distributing the payments to the class members, their counsel and the California Labor and Workforce Development Agency in an aggregate amount of approximately $50,000.
 
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
 

21

PDI, Inc.

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 three months ended March 31, 2007, our two largest customers accounted for approximately 31.3% and 19.9%, respectively, or approximately 51.2% 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. 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 given notification of its intention not to renew its contract sales engagement with us when it expires on May 12, 2007. The contract, which was for a term of one year, represented approximately $35 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 quarter 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 upcoming 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 have initiated 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.
