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, 2007 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. Certain significant customers engage the Company’s
services on a seasonal basis and therefore, operating results for the three and
six month periods ended June 30, 2008 are not necessarily indicative of the
results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2008.

SUMMARY
OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
|
Accounting
Estimates
The
preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP
requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts of
assets and liabilities reported 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. 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. Significant estimates include incentives
earned or penalties incurred on contracts, valuation allowances related to
deferred income taxes, self-insurance loss accruals, allowances for doubtful
accounts and notes, fair value of assets, income tax accruals, and facilities
realignment accruals. The Company periodically 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
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, 2008 and 2007 is as follows:

stock appreciation rights (SARs) at June 30, 2008 were not included in the
computation of loss per share as they would be
anti-dilutive. 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.
Investments
in Marketable Securities
As part
of its cash management program, the Company maintains a portfolio of marketable
investment securities. The fair values for marketable securities are
based on publicly available market prices. Available-for-sale
securities are carried at fair value with the unrealized gains or losses, net of
tax, included as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in
stockholders’ equity. Realized gains and losses and declines in value judged to
be other-than-temporary on available-for-sale securities are included in other
income (expense), net. Held-to-maturity investments are stated at amortized
cost. Interest income is accrued as earned. Realized gains
and losses are computed based upon specific identification and included in other
income, net in the consolidated statement of operations. The Company
does not have any investments classified as “trading.”

TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
(Tabular

Fair
Value of Financial Instruments
The
Company considers carrying amounts of cash, accounts receivable, accounts
payable and accrued expenses to approximate fair value due to the short-term
nature of these financial instruments. Marketable securities
classified as available-for-sale are carried at fair
value. Marketable securities classified as held-to-maturity are
carried at amortized cost which approximates fair value. The fair
value of letters of credit is determined to be $0 as management does not expect
any material losses to result from these instruments because performance is not
expected to be required.
Recently
Issued Standards
In
December 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS No.
141 (Revised 2007), “Business
Combinations” (FAS 141R). FAS 141R continues to require the purchase
method of accounting to be applied to all business combinations, but it
significantly changes the accounting for certain aspects of business
combinations. Under FAS 141R, an acquiring entity will be required to recognize
all the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a transaction at the
acquisition-date fair value with limited exceptions. FAS 141R will change the
accounting treatment for certain specific acquisition related items including:
(1) expensing acquisition related costs as incurred; (2) valuing noncontrolling
interests at fair value at the acquisition date; and (3) expensing restructuring
costs associated with an acquired business. FAS 141R also includes a substantial
number of new disclosure requirements. FAS 141R is to be applied prospectively
to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after January
1, 2009. The Company expects FAS 141R will have an impact on its accounting for
any future business combinations once adopted but the effect is dependent upon
the nature and timing of any acquisitions that may be made in the
future.
Recently
Adopted Standards
SFAS No.
157, “Fair Value Measurements”
(FAS 157) 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. SFAS 157 was adopted on January
1, 2008 for all financial assets and liabilities and for nonfinancial assets and
liabilities recognized or disclosed at fair value in the Company’s consolidated
financial statements on a recurring basis (at least annually). For all other
nonfinancial assets and liabilities, SFAS 157 is effective on January 1,
2009. The initial adoption of FAS 157 had no impact the
Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations; however, the
Company is now required to provide additional disclosures as part of its
financial statements. See Note 6, Fair Value
Measurements. The Company is still in the process of evaluating this
standard with respect to its effect on nonfinancial assets and liabilities and,
therefore, has not yet determined the impact that it will have on the Company’s
financial statements upon full adoption in 2009. Nonfinancial assets
and liabilities for which the Company has not applied the provisions of FAS 157
include those measured at fair value in impairment testing and those initially
measured at fair value in a business combination.
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. The Company would
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. The Company adopted FAS 159 as of January 1,
2008. The Company did not apply the fair value option to any of its
outstanding instruments and, therefore, the adoption of FAS 159 did not have an
impact on the Company’s financial condition or results of
operations.

INVESTMENTS
IN MARKETABLE SECURITIES:
|
The
Company’s available-for-sale investments are carried at fair value and consist
of assets in a rabbi trust associated with its deferred compensation plan at
June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007. At June 30, 2008 and December
31, 2007, the carrying value of available-for-sale securities was approximately
$166,000 and $459,000, respectively, which are included in short-term
investments. The available-for-sale securities within the Company’s
deferred compensation plan at June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007 consisted of
approximately $86,000 and $198,000 respectively, in money market accounts, and
approximately $80,000 and $261,000, respectively, in mutual funds. At
June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, included in accumulated other comprehensive
income were gross unrealized gains of approximately $3,000 and $51,000,
respectively, and gross unrealized losses of approximately $5,000 and $2,000,
respectively. In the six month periods ended June 30, 2008 and 2007,
included in other income, net were gross realized gains of approximately $29,000
and $20,000, respectively, and no gross realized losses.

TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
(Tabular
information in thousands, except per share amounts)
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 and corporate debt securities. 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 1.6 months.
The
Company has standby letters of credit of approximately $5.9 million and $7.3
million at June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, respectively, as collateral for
its existing insurance policies and its facility leases. Certain
held-to-maturity investments are maintained in separate accounts to support
these letters of credit. The weighted average maturity of these
investments is 18.8 months at June 30, 2008.
At June
30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, held-to-maturity investments were included in
short-term investments (approximately $6.5 million and $7.3 million,
respectively), other current assets (approximately $3.9 and $5.1 million,
respectively) and other long-term assets (approximately $2.0 million and $2.2
million, respectively). At June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007,

GOODWILL
AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS:
|
For the
six months ended June 30, 2008, there were no changes to the carrying amount of
goodwill as compared to the year ended December 31, 2007.
All
identifiable intangible assets recorded as of June 30, 2008 are being amortized
on a straight-line basis over the lives of the intangibles, which range from 5

FACILITIES
REALIGNMENT:
|
The
Company recorded facility realignment charges totaling approximately $1.0
million, $2.0 million and $2.4 million during 2007, 2006 and 2005,
respectively. These charges were for costs related to excess leased
office space the Company had at its Saddle River, New Jersey and Dresher,
Pennsylvania facilities. The Company has real estate lease contracts
for these spaces and is required to make payments over the remaining lease term
(January 2016 and November 2016 for the Saddle River, New Jersey facility and
for the Dresher, Pennsylvania facility, respectively). All lease
termination amounts are shown net of projected sublease income. The
expenses are 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 2007, the Company sublet the excess office space at its
Saddle River location and two of the three vacant spaces at its Dresher
location. The Company is currently seeking to sublease the remaining
excess space at its Dresher location. A rollforward of the activity

FAIR
VALUE MEASUREMENTS:
|
As
discussed in Note 2, the Company adopted FAS 157 for all financial instruments
and non-financial instruments accounted for at fair value on a recurring
basis. Broadly, the FAS 157 framework requires fair value to be
determined based on the exchange price that would be received for an asset or
paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most
advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between
market participants. FAS 157 establishes market or observable inputs
as the preferred source of values, followed by assumptions based on hypothetical
transactions in the absence of market inputs. The valuation
techniques required by FAS 157 are based upon observable and unobservable
inputs. Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources,
while unobservable inputs reflect the Company’s market assumptions. These two
types of inputs create the following three-tier fair value hierarchy: Level 1,
defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets; Level 2,
defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either
directly or indirectly observable; and Level 3, defined as unobservable inputs
in which little or no market data exists, therefore, requiring the Company to
develop its own assumptions.
The
Company’s adoption of FAS 157 was limited to its investment in marketable
securities. See Note 3, Investments in Marketable Securities, for
additional information. The fair values for these securities are based on quoted
market prices.

COMMITMENTS
AND CONTINGENCIES:
|
Due to
the nature of the businesses in which the Company is engaged, such as product
detailing and in the past, the distribution of pharmaceutical and other
healthcare 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 June 30, 2008, 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 has not incurred any costs or
expenses relating to these matters since 2003.
Letters
of Credit
As of
June 30, 2008, the Company has $5.9 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. See Note 3 for additional
information.

STOCK-BASED
COMPENSATION:
|
On
February 27, 2008, 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 grants of SARs and restricted stock to certain executive
officers and members of senior management 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 110,610 shares of restricted stock
issued with a grant date fair value of $7.73 per share and 194,538 SARs issued
with a grant price of $7.73 in the first quarter of 2008. In June the
Company issued 44,440 restricted stock units with a grant date fair value of
$8.10 per unit to the non-employee independent members of the Company’s Board of
Directors on the date of its Annual Meeting of Stockholders. Additionally, in
June, the current chief executive officer was awarded 6,054 shares of common
stock with a grant date fair value of $8.26 per share.
The
Company recognized stock-based compensation expense totaling $0.5 million and
$0.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively and
$0.8 million and $0.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007,
respectively. The grant date fair values of SARs awards are
determined using a Black-Scholes pricing model. Assumptions utilized
in the model are evaluated and revised, as necessary, to reflect market
conditions and experience.

INCOME
TAXES:

On a
quarterly basis, the Company estimates its effective tax rate for the full year
and records a quarterly income tax provision based on the anticipated rate. As
the year progresses, the Company refines its estimate based on the facts and
circumstances by each tax jurisdiction. The following table

Income
tax expense for the six months ended June 30, 2008 was primarily due to state
taxes as the Company and its subsidiaries file separate income tax returns in
numerous state and local jurisdictions. Income taxes for the six
months ended June 30, 2007 were impacted by an increase of $0.9 million in the
valuation allowance on deferred tax assets. The Company performs an
analysis each year to determine whether the expected future income will more
likely than not be sufficient to realize net deferred tax assets. The
Company’s recent operating results and projections of future income weighed
heavily in the Company’s overall assessment. As a result, the Company
maintained a full federal and state valuation allowance for the net deferred tax
assets at December 31, 2007 because the Company determined that it was more
likely than not that these assets would not be realized.
There
have been no material changes to the balance of unrecognized tax benefits
reported at December 31, 2007. The Company does not anticipate a significant
change to the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits within the next 12
months.

PRODUCT
COMMERCIALIZATION
CONTRACT:
|
On April
11, 2008, the Company issued a press release announcing the signing of a
promotion agreement with Novartis Pharmaceuticals Corporation
(Novartis). Pursuant to the agreement, the Company has the
co-exclusive right to promote on behalf of Novartis the pharmaceutical product
Elidel® (pimecrolimus) Cream 1% (Elidel) to physicians in the United States.
Under terms of the agreement, the Company is providing sales representatives to
promote Elidel to physicians. In addition, the Company is obligated
under the agreement to spend at least $7.0 million per year during the term on
promotional activities relating to Elidel. The Company currently
intends to make expenditures of approximately $20 to $21 million during the
initial 12 months of the agreement in connection with its sales force activities
and the promotion of Elidel. During the second quarter of 2008, the
Company paid an up-front nonrefundable fee of $1.0 million that is required
under accounting guidance to be shown as a reduction of revenue. The
Company had no revenue from this customer in the second quarter of 2008, but
does expect to record revenue from this customer in future periods.

NOTES
TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
(Tabular

In
exchange for its promotional and sales force activities, the Company will be
compensated each quarter based on a specified formula set forth in the agreement
relating to Elidel sales for the quarter. The term of the agreement
is approximately four years, extending through March 31, 2012, and it may be
extended for an additional year upon the mutual consent of the
parties. It is possible that the Company may not receive any
compensation if Elidel sales are below certain thresholds set forth in the
agreement. In addition, if the agreement is not terminated prior to
its scheduled expiration on March 31, 2012, if due under the terms of the
agreement, Novartis will provide the Company with two residual payments in
accordance with specified formulas set forth in the agreement, which are payable
12 and 24 months after the expiration of the term of the
agreement. The agreement provides that if one or more major market
events occur during the term that significantly affects Elidel, in certain cases
either party will have the right to terminate the agreement. Either
party may terminate the agreement if the other party materially breaches or
fails to perform its obligations under the agreement. In addition,
either party may terminate the agreement, effective no earlier than February
2010, upon three months prior notice to the other party if the number of
prescriptions for Elidel generated in a specified period is less than a
predetermined level for that period. Novartis may terminate the
agreement, effective no earlier than January 2010, without cause upon three
months prior notice to the Company subject to the payment of an early
termination fee based in part on a fixed amount and in part on a specified
formula set forth in the agreement.

SEGMENT
INFORMATION:
|
The
accounting policies of the segments are described in Note 1 of the Company’s
audited consolidated financial statements in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for
the year ended December 31, 2007. There was approximately $0.1 and
$0.2 million of sales between segments in the three and six-month periods ended
June 30, 2008 and $0 and $0.1 million in the three and six-month periods ended
June 30, 2007. In 2008, the Product Commercialization segment
(formerly the PPG segment) had activity; there was no activity in this segment
during 2007. 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 reporting segments since it is impracticable to do so.

SUBSEQUENT
EVENT:
|
On July
31, 2008, the Company received notification from a client that due to generic
competition, effective September 30, 2008, it will be terminating a sales force
program that represents a significant portion of the Company’s overall revenue
from this client. This sales force program, which was originally scheduled to
expire in April 2008, had been recently extended through March
2009. As of June 30, 2008, approximately 11.3% of the Company’s
revenue was derived from this contract, and the Company anticipates that the
termination of this sales force contract will reduce revenue by approximately
$3.5 million during the fourth quarter of 2008.
Effective
July 31, 2008, the Company completed the planned conversion of a specialty sales
force program, with the client internalizing the sales team to its own
headcount. This program accounted for approximately $2.3 million of
the Company’s revenue during the three months ended June 30, 2008.

OVERVIEW
We are a
leading provider of contract sales teams in the U.S. to pharmaceutical
companies. Additionally, we provide marketing research,
physician interaction and medical education programs. Our services
offer customers a range of promotional and educational options for the
commercialization of their products throughout their lifecycles, from
development through maturity.
Our
business depends in large part on demand from the pharmaceutical and life
sciences industries for outsourced sales and marketing services. This
demand has been influenced by certain industry-wide factors affecting
pharmaceutical companies in recent years, including, among other things, pricing
and access, intellectual property rights (including the introduction of
competitive generic products), the regulatory environment and pipeline
productivity. Recently, there has been a slow-down in the rate of
approval of new products by the FDA and this trend may
continue. Additionally, a number of pharmaceutical companies have
recently made changes to their commercial models by reducing the number of sales
representatives employed internally and through outside organizations like
us. A very significant source of our revenue is derived from our
sales force arrangements with large pharmaceutical companies, and we have
therefore been significantly impacted by cost control measures implemented by
these companies, including a substantial reduction in the number of sales
representatives deployed. This has culminated in the expiration and
termination of a number of our significant sales force contracts during 2006 and
2007, including our sales force engagements with AstraZeneca, GlaxoSmithKline,
sanofi-aventis and another large pharmaceutical company
customer. These four customers
14
PDI,
Inc.
Quarterly
Report on Form 10-Q
(Tabular
information in thousands, except per share amounts)
accounted
for approximately $150.9 million in revenue during 2006 and $15.9 million in
revenue during 2007. In addition, we received notification from a
client on July 31, 2008 that due to generic competition, it will be terminating
a significant sales force program, effective September 30, 2008. We
anticipate that the termination of this sales force contract will reduce revenue
by approximately $3.5 million during the fourth quarter of 2008.
While we
recognize that there is currently significant volatility in the markets in which
we provide services, we believe there are opportunities for growth of our sales
and marketing services businesses, which provide our pharmaceutical company
clients with the flexibility to successfully respond to a constantly changing
market and a means of controlling costs through outsourcing. In
response to recent market conditions, we are in the process of implementing a
five-year strategic plan that is intended to drive revenue growth, diversify the
sources of our revenue, increase profit margins and enhance our competitiveness
in the markets we serve. Our strategic plan has been formulated to
address the changes in the pharmaceutical sales environment while simultaneously
capitalizing on our core strengths in pharmaceutical sales and marketing
services. The primary goals of this strategic plan include the
following:
Recapture
our position as the leading contract sales organization
While the
total number of sales representatives in the U.S. has decreased over the past
few years, we believe that there are opportunities for increased penetration of
this market by contract sales organizations in the near and
long-term. Therefore, we have taken measures to strengthen our
business development capabilities, including a focus on alternate business
development channels, and we have focused on creating new and differentiated
contract sales service offerings, including the introduction during 2007 of our
“PDI ON DEMAND” suite of flexible service offerings designed to meet our
customers’ evolving needs. These efforts have culminated in a number
of new sales force engagements entered into during 2007 and 2008, which have
partially offset the lost revenues from the significant sales force contracts
that expired and were terminated during 2006 and 2007.
Leverage
our sales and marketing expertise to capitalize on product commercialization
opportunities
The
recent trends in the pharmaceutical industry described above have led to a
reduction in the revenue generated by our typical fee for service contract sales
arrangements and have the potential to place additional pressures on profit
margins for our traditional sales services offerings. In response, we
recently implemented a product commercialization strategic initiative in which
we utilize our analytics capabilities to identify what we believe to be
attractive opportunities and seek to enter into arrangements with pharmaceutical
companies to provide sales and marketing support services in connection with the
promotion of pharmaceutical products in exchange for a percentage of product
sales. While these arrangements involve significantly more risk than
our typical fee for service contracts with respect to a return on our investment
and are likely to result in losses for us during the early stages of the
initiative as program ramp-up occurs, these opportunities are intended to
provide us with the ability to extend our revenue streams through multi-year
arrangements and with potentially higher profit margins over the term of the
initiative. In April 2008, we announced the signing of our first
agreement under this initiative with Novartis.
Enhance
our commercialization capabilities in order to provide a broader base of
services and more diversified sources of revenue
We
believe that it is critical to the growth of our business to identify and build
internally, through partnerships and/or acquire complimentary commercialization
services to the sales and marketing services that we currently provide to our
customers. We intend to focus our efforts on adding services that
strengthen our core business, expand the scope of our current service offerings
and/or provide our customers with alternate methods for physician and healthcare
professional engagement. During 2007, our TVG business unit launched
three new decision support products that are being utilized by our
clients.

Nature
of Contracts by Segment
Except
for contracts within our product commercialization business 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 agreed
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.
Sales
Services
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, results of operations or cash
flow.
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 for the duration of the project, 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, results of operations or cash
flow.
Product
Commercialization
We
currently expect that these contracts will typically be multi-year arrangements
with limited termination rights in which we are responsible for the sales force
and potentially other marketing costs relating to the promotion of the
pharmaceutical product, and we will receive revenues under the agreement only if
and when product sales or prescriptions exceed certain pre-determined
thresholds. These contracts will likely involve significant upfront
investment of our resources with no guaranteed return on investment and are
expected to generate losses in the initial period of the contract as program
ramp up occurs. In April 2008, we entered into our first contract
under our product commercialization initiative with Novartis. See
Note 11 to the condensed consolidated financial statements for additional
information.
CRITICAL
ACCOUNTING POLICIES
For a
summary of all of our significant accounting policies, see Note 1 of the
Company’s audited consolidated financial statements in its Annual Report on Form
10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007. The accounting policy
discussed below has been updated due to the new promotional program included in
the product commercialization segment.
Revenue
Recognition and Associated Costs (Updated)
Under our
promotional program included in the commercialization segment, we currently
recognize revenue quarterly based on three factors:
|
·
|
The
number of prescriptions filled in excess of the pre-established baseline
established in the agreement. The total number of prescriptions
filled in a quarter is based on information supplied by a major
independent supplier of industry prescription
data.
|
|
·
|
The
average net sales value per unit of the product as reported to us by the
customer.
|
|
·
|
The
revenue sharing percentage in the
agreement.
|
Our
actual revenue recognized each quarter is calculated by multiplying the result
of the above three factors. Accordingly, the revenues recognized (if any) under
this contract will be directly impacted by prescription data reported by a major
independent supplier of prescription data, the customer’s revenue recognition
policy and other accounting policies used to determine average net sales value
per unit (which include reductions for estimates of sales returns, credits and
allowances, normal trade and cash discounts, managed cared sales rebates and
other allocated costs as identified in the agreement).

PDI,
Inc.
Quarterly
Report on Form 10-Q
(Tabular
information in thousands, except per share amounts)
Additionally,
we must perform a minimum number of sales calls to designated physicians each
year, and the failure to satisfy this requirement could result in penalties for
us or provide customer with the ability to terminate the
agreement. It is possible that we may not receive any compensation if
product sales are below certain thresholds set forth in the
agreement.

Revenue
from the sales services segment for the quarter ended June 30, 2008 increased by
approximately $3.9 million primarily due to an increase of $2.8 million, or
60.9%, within our Select Access business unit as a result of new sales force
engagements. Revenue for the marketing services segment was down
slightly for the quarter ended June 30, 2008 when compared to the quarter ended
June 30, 2007. The product commercialization segment recorded
negative revenue of $1.0 million for the quarter ended June 30,
2008. This pertained to a non-refundable upfront payment we made to
Novartis as per the terms of our promotion agreement which has been recognized
as negative revenue pursuant to EITF 01-09, "Accounting for Consideration Given
by a Vendor to a Customer or a Reseller of the Vendor's
Product." This segment had no revenue in 2007.

Quarterly
Report on Form 10-Q
(Tabular
information in thousands, except per share amounts)
The
increase of approximately $2.0 million in gross profit for the sales services
segment can be attributed to: 1) increased revenues and 2) the fact that our
largest sales force program was starting in the second quarter of 2007 and as a
result of the start-up costs we realized a much lower margin percentage then it
has had in the second quarter of 2008.
The
decrease of approximately $0.6 million in gross profit for the marketing
services segment was mainly attributable to a decrease at our TVG business
unit. TVG was impacted by some larger projects worked on in the
quarter that had single-digit margin percentages associated with them and
subsequently lowered the overall gross profit percentage for TVG.
The
product commercialization segment’s negative gross profit was entirely
attributable to the start-up of our new promotional program under our product
commercialization segment in the second quarter.

compared to the prior year period due primarily to the retirement of our chief
executive officer (CEO) on June 20, 2008 and the subsequent increase in expense
of approximately $0.7 million in connection with his
departure. Compensation expense for both the sales services and
marketing services segments increased slightly for the quarter ended June 30,
2008 when compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2007. The product
commercialization segment had compensation costs of $0.5
million. This was primarily attributable to employee and sales
services support costs. There was no compensation expense
attributable to this segment in 2007.

other selling, general and administrative expenses decreased by approximately
$0.4 million due primarily to a 1) decrease in tax consulting costs of
approximately $0.2 million as a result of this function being added internally;
2) a decrease in business insurance of approximately $0.1 million primarily due
to the decrease in the size of our business; and 3) a decrease in corporate
information technology costs of approximately $0.1 million due to cost-cutting
initiatives as well as the decrease in the size of our business.
The
decrease in other selling, general and administrative expenses attributable to
both the sales services and marketing services segment can be attributed to the
reasons discussed above. Other selling, general and administrative
expenses attributable to the product commercialization segment for the quarter
ended June 30, 2008 were $0.3 million. This primarily consisted of
consulting, legal and other costs associated with our new promotional
program. There were no expenses attributable to this segment in
2007.
Operating
(loss) income
There was
an operating loss of $7.9 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2008 as
compared to an operating loss for the quarter ended June 30, 2007 of
approximately $3.9 million. This increased loss is primarily
attributable to the $5.7 million in expenses and negative revenue associated
with the start-up of a new promotional program within the product
commercialization segment, partially offset by an increase in operating income
in sales services of $2.3 million primarily due to increased
revenue.
Other
income, net
Other
income, net, for the quarters ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 was $0.8 million and
$1.6 million, respectively, and consisted primarily of interest
income. The decrease in interest income is primarily due to lower
interest rates and lower cash balances for the quarter ended June 30,
2008.

The
increase in revenue of approximately $3.0 million in the sales services segment
is primarily attributable to an increase in revenue within our Select Access
business unit which was primarily attributed to having six months of revenue
from a significant client in 2008 as compared to approximately three months of
revenue from this client through June 30, 2007. Revenue from our
marketing services segment was slightly higher for the six months ended June 30,

The
increase in gross profit percentage in the sales services segment can be
attributed to 1) an increase in performance fees and improved margins associated
with one of our clients due to internal cost-cutting initiatives within that
program; and 2) we commenced a large sales force program in the second quarter
of 2007 and as a result of the start-up costs associated with this program, we
realized much lower gross profit percentage for that period compared with the
six month period ended June 30, 2008.
The
decrease in gross profit percentage for the marketing services segment is
primarily attributable to a significant decrease at our TVG business unit which
is related to some large projects which had single-digit margins.
The
product commercialization segment had negative gross profit of approximately
$5.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008. There was no

other selling, general and administrative expenses were 12.6% less for the six
months ended June 30, 2008 than other selling, general and administrative
expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2007. The decrease can be
attributed to: 1) a decrease in executive consulting costs of approximately $1.0
million; 2) lower facility costs as a result of our efforts to right-size our
facilities and sublease excess space; and 3) lower insurance and information
technology costs primarily as a result of cost-reduction initiatives and the
reduction in the size of our business.
Other
selling, general and administrative expenses attributable to the sales services
segment for the six months ended June 30, 2008 decreased 17.3% when compared to
the six months ended June 30, 2007. Other selling, general and
administrative expenses attributable to the marketing services segment for the
six months ended June 30, 2008 decreased 14.9% when compared to the six months
ended June 30, 2007. The decrease in both segments can be
attributable to the reasons discussed above.
Other
selling, general and administrative expenses attributable to the product
commercialization segment for the six month period ended June 30, 2008 were $0.4
million which consisted primarily of consulting, legal and other costs
associated with our new promotional program. There were no other
selling, general and administrative expenses attributable to this segment for
the six months ended June 30, 2007.
Operating
(loss) income
There was
an operating loss for the six months ended June 30, 2008 of approximately $9.6
million compared to an operating loss of $6.1 million in the comparable prior
year period. The increased loss is attributable to the operating loss associated
with our product commercialization segment of $6.5 million. This was
partially offset by a $3.2 million reduction in the operating loss of the sales
services segment due to increased gross profit and reduced operating expenses as
discussed above.
Other
income, net
Other
income, net, for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 was $2.0 million
and $2.9 million, respectively, and consisted primarily of interest
income. The decrease in interest income is primarily due to lower
interest rates and lower average cash balances for the six months ended June 30,
2008.
Income
tax expense
The
federal and state corporate income tax expense was approximately $0.9 million
for the six months ended June 30, 2008, compared to income tax expense of $1.2
million for the six months ended June 30, 2007. The effective tax rate for the
six months ended June 30, 2008 was 11.5%, compared to an effective tax rate for
the six months ended June 30, 2007 of 37.7%. The decrease in the
effective tax rate for the six month period ended June 30, 2008 as compared to
the comparable prior year period was impacted by an increase of $0.9 million in
the valuation allowance on deferred tax for the six-month period ended June 30,
2007. Tax expense for the six months ended June 30, 2008 was
primarily due to state taxes as we file separate income tax returns in
numerous state and local jurisdictions.
Liquidity
and Capital Resources
As of
June 30, 2008, we had cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments of
approximately $102.6 million and working capital of $106.3 million, compared to
cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments of approximately $107.0
million and working capital of approximately $111.6 million at December 31,
2007.

six months ended June 30, 2007. The main component of cash used in
operating activities during the six months ended June 30, 2008 was a net loss of
$8.5 million. This was partially offset by a reduction in accounts
receivable of $4.9 million.
As of
June 30, 2008, we had $3.2 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, 2008, we had $4.2 million of
unearned contract revenue. When we bill clients for services before
they have been completed, billed amounts are recorded as unearned contract
revenue, and are recorded as income when earned.
For the
six months ended June 30, 2008, net cash provided by investing activities was
$0.5 million as compared to net cash provided by investing activities of $48.5
million for the comparable prior year period. The significant change
during the period was reflective of our change in strategy during 2007 to
investments that had greater liquidity and shorter-term
maturities. The net change of $48.5 million reflected a movement from
short-term investments to a money market fund. We had approximately
$0.4 million and $0.6 million of capital expenditures primarily for computer
equipment and software during the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007,
respectively. For both periods, all capital expenditures were funded
out of available cash. There were no cash flows from financing
activities for the six months ended June 30, 2008.
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, 2008, we had three clients that accounted for approximately
23.6%, 12.7%, and 12.0%, respectively, or a total of 48.3% of our
revenue. On July 31, 2008, we received notification from the client
that accounted for 12.7% of our revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2008
that, due to generic competition, it will be terminating a significant sales
force program effective September 30, 2008. This sales force program
accounted for 11.3% of our revenue for the six months ended June 30,
2008. We anticipate that the termination of this sales force contract
will reduce revenue by approximately $3.5 million during the fourth quarter of
2008. 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. In addition, Select Access’
services to a significant customer are seasonal in nature, occurring primarily
in the winter season.
In April
2008, we signed a promotion agreement with Novartis in connection with our
product commercialization initiative. See Note 11 to the condensed
consolidated financial statements for additional information. Under
terms of the agreement, we are providing sales representatives, at our own cost
and expense, to promote a pharmaceutical product to physicians. In
addition, we are obligated to spend at least $7.0 million per year during the
term on promotional activities relating to this product. We currently
intend to make expenditures of approximately $20 to $21 million during the
initial 12 months of the agreement in connection with our sales force activities
and the promotion of this product. In addition, we provided a $1.0
million upfront payment to Novartis in the second quarter of 2008 as per the
terms of the agreement. Under this arrangement, we will be
compensated each quarter based on a specified formula set forth in the contract
relating to product sales during the quarter. Therefore, our
inability to increase the sales of the product above a pre-determined quarterly
baseline could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial
condition and results of operations. In addition, we currently expect
to incur net losses on this product commercialization arrangement during fiscal
year 2008 due to the costs associated with implementing the program and our
expectation that a ramp up period will be necessary before any meaningful
increase in product prescriptions can be achieved.

In
June 2005, we signed an agreement to sublease approximately 16,000 square
feet of the first floor at our corporate headquarters facility in Saddle
River, New Jersey. The sublease is for a five-year term
commencing July 15, 2005, and provides for approximately $2 million in
lease payments over the five-year period. In July 2007, we
signed an agreement to sublease approximately 20,000 square feet of the
second floor at our corporate headquarters. The sublease term
is through the remainder of our lease, which is approximately eight and
one-half years and will provide for approximately $4.4 million in lease
payments over that period. Also in 2007, we signed two separate
subleases at our facility in Dresher, Pennsylvania. These
subleases are for five-year terms and will provide approximately $0.7
million combined in lease payments over the five-year
period.

As a
result of the net operating loss carryback claims which have been filed or are
expected to be filed by us, and the impact of those claims on the relevant
statute of limitations, it is not practicable to predict the amount or timing of
the impact of FIN 48 liabilities in the table above and, therefore, these
liabilities have been excluded from the table above.
Although
we expect to incur a net loss for the year ending December 31, 2008, 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, which are currently a component of our strategic
plan.
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, 2008 and December 31, 2007 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, investment-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, 2008 were composed of the
instruments described in the preceding paragraph and all of those investments
mature by October 2008. 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.

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.
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 United States until 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 December 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 have not incurred any costs or expenses relating to these
matters since 2003.
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, 2007.
Other
than as described below, 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,
2007.
Most
of our 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.

Quarterly
Report on Form 10-Q
(Tabular
information in thousands, except per share amounts)
Our
revenue and profitability depend to a great extent on our relationships with a
limited number of large pharmaceutical companies. As of June 30, 2008, our three
largest customers accounted for approximately 23.6%, 12.7% and 12.0%,
respectively, of our revenue. For the year ended December 31, 2007,
our three largest customers accounted for approximately 13.7%, 12.9% and 11.3%
respectively, or approximately 37.9% in the aggregate, of our revenue for the
year ended December 31, 2007. 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 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, during 2006 and 2007, we announced the
termination and expiration of a number of significant service contracts,
including our sales force engagements with AstraZeneca, GlaxoSmithKline (GSK),
sanofi-aventis and another large pharmaceutical company
customer. These four customers accounted for approximately $150.9
million in revenue during 2006 and $15.9 million in revenue during
2007. In addition, on July 31, 2008, we received notification from
the client that accounted for 12.7% of our revenue during the six months ended
June 30, 2008 that, due to generic competition, it will be terminating a
significant sales force program effective September 30, 2008. This
sales force program accounted for 11.3% of our revenue for the six months ended
June 30, 2008. We anticipate that the termination of this sales force
contract will reduce revenue by approximately $3.5 million during the fourth
quarter of 2008.
If
we are unable to generate sufficient revenue from product commercialization
opportunities that we pursue to offset the costs and expenses associated with
implementing and maintaining these types of programs, our business, financial
condition, results of operations and cash flows could be materially and
adversely affected.
On April
11, 2008, we announced that we had entered into our first arrangement under our
product commercialization strategic initiative to provide sales and marketing
support services in connection with the promotion of a pharmaceutical product on
behalf of Novartis Pharmaceuticals Corporation (Novartis) in exchange for a
percentage of revenue from product sales in excess of certain
thresholds. We currently intend to make expenditures of approximately
$20 to $21 million during the initial 12 months of the agreement in connection
with our sales force activities and promotion of the product. In
addition, we currently intend to explore additional opportunities to enter into
similar types of arrangements with pharmaceutical companies under this strategic
initiative. These types of arrangements typically require us to make a
significant upfront investment of our resources and are generally expected to
generate losses in the early stages as program ramp up occurs. In
addition, the compensation we will receive is expected to be dependent on sales
of the product, and in certain arrangements, including our arrangement with
Novartis, we will not receive any compensation unless product sales exceed
certain thresholds. There can be no assurance that we can generate
sufficient product sales for these arrangements to be profitable for
us. In addition, there are a number of factors that could negatively
impact product sales during the term of a product commercialization contract,
many of which are beyond our control, including withdrawal of the product from
the market, the launch of a therapeutically equivalent generic version of the
product, the introduction of a competing product, loss of managed care covered
lives, a significant disruption in the manufacture or supply of the product as
well as other significant events that could affect sales of the product or the
prescription market for the product. Therefore, the revenue we
receive, if any, from product sales under these types of arrangements may not be
sufficient to offset the costs incurred by us implementing and maintaining these
programs. In addition, our agreement with Novartis provides, and any
agreements we enter into in the future may provide, certain early termination
rights. If our agreement with Novartis, or a similar arrangement we
may enter into in the future, were to be terminated prior to its scheduled
expiration, our expected revenue and profitability could be materially and
adversely affected due to our significant upfront investment of sales force and
other promotional resources during the ramp up period for these types of
programs.
Our
business may 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. On June 20, 2008, we
announced the retirement of Michael J. Marquard as CEO and a member of our board
of directors, effective immediately. We are currently conducting a
search for a new CEO, and Jeffrey E. Smith, our Executive Vice President,
Finance and Chief Financial Officer, has been named interim CEO while this
search is underway. In addition, we are currently engaged in a
process to identify a successor to Steven K. Budd, the former president of our
sales services segment who resigned effective April 6, 2007. Our
failure to attract and retain qualified individuals could have a material
adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of
operations.
