BASIS
OF PRESENTATION:
|
These
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, 2008 as
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (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. All significant
intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in
consolidation. Operating results for the three- and six-month periods
ended June 30, 2009 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be
expected for the year ending December 31, 2009.
The
Company has evaluated subsequent events through August 6, 2009, the filing date
of this Form 10-Q with the SEC, and determined that there were no subsequent
events to recognize or disclose in these unaudited interim condensed financial
statements.

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, loss contract provisions, valuation
allowances related to deferred income taxes, self-insurance loss accruals,
allowances for doubtful accounts and notes, 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 Loss per Share
A
reconciliation of the number of shares of common stock used in the calculation
of basic and diluted loss per share for the three- and six-month periods ended
June 30, 2009 and 2008 is as follows:

NEW
ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS:
|
Recently
Adopted Standards
On
January 1, 2009, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
(SFAS) No. 157, “Fair Value
Measurements,” (FAS 157) as it relates to nonfinancial assets and
nonfinancial liabilities that are not recognized or disclosed at fair value in
the financial statements on at least an annual basis. FAS 157 defines
fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in GAAP, and
expands disclosures about fair value measurements. The provisions of this
standard apply to other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair
value measurements and are to be applied prospectively with limited exceptions.
The adoption of FAS 157, as it relates to nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial
liabilities, had no impact on the Company’s financial condition or results of
operations. The provisions of FAS 157 will be applied at such time a
fair value measurement of a nonfinancial asset or nonfinancial liability is
required, which may result in a fair value that is materially different than
would have been calculated prior to the adoption of FAS 157.
On
January 1, 2009, the Company adopted SFAS No. 141 (revised 2007), “Business Combinations,” (FAS
141(R)) which replaced SFAS No. 141, “Business Combinations,” (FAS
141) but retains the fundamental requirements in FAS 141, including that the
purchase method be used for all business combinations and for an acquirer to be
identified for each business combination. This standard defines the acquirer as
the entity that obtains control of one or more businesses in the business
combination and establishes the acquisition date as the date that the acquirer
achieves control instead of the date that the consideration is transferred. FAS
141(R) requires an acquirer in a business combination, including business
combinations achieved in stages (step acquisition), to recognize the assets
acquired, liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree
at the acquisition date, measured at their fair values as of that date, with
limited exceptions. It also requires the recognition of assets acquired and
liabilities assumed arising from certain contractual contingencies as of the
acquisition date, measured at their acquisition-date fair values. Additionally,
FAS 141(R) requires acquisition-related costs to be expensed in the period in
which the costs are incurred and the services are received instead of including
such costs as part of the acquisition price. In April 2009, the Financial
Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued FASB Staff Position (FSP) No. FAS
141(R)-1, “Accounting for
Assets Acquired and Liabilities Assumed in a Business Combination That Arise
from Contingencies” (FSP 141(R)). This FSP amends the guidance
in FAS 141(R) and is effective for the first annual reporting period beginning
on or after December 15, 2008. Any impact resulting from the adoption
of SFAS No. 141R and FSP 141(R) will be applied prospectively to business
combinations closing on or after January 1, 2009.
On
January 1, 2009, the Company adopted FSP No. EITF 03-6-1, “Determining Whether Instruments
Granted in Shared-Based Payment Transaction are Participating Securities”
(FSP EITF 03-6-1). FSP EITF 03-6-1 states that unvested share-based payment
awards that contain nonforfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents
(whether paid or unpaid) are participating securities and are included in the
computation of earnings per share pursuant to the two-class method. The
provisions of FSP EITF 03-6-1 did not have a material impact on the Company’s
earnings per share calculation.
In April
2009, the FASB issued three FSPs intended to provide additional application
guidance and enhance disclosures regarding fair value measurements and
impairments of securities. FSP No. FAS 157-4, “Determining Fair Value When the
Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly
Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly,” provides
guidelines for making fair value measurements more consistent with the
principles presented in FAS 157. FSP No. FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1, “Interim Disclosures about Fair Value
of Financial Instruments,” enhances consistency in
financial reporting by increasing the frequency of fair value disclosures. FSP
No. FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2, “Recognition and Presentation of
Other-Than-Temporary Impairments,” provides additional
guidance designed to create greater clarity and consistency in accounting for
and presenting impairment losses on securities. The FSPs are effective for
interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009, but entities may adopt
the FSPs earlier for the interim and annual periods ending after March 15,
2009. The adoption of these FSPs had no impact on the Company’s
condensed consolidated financial statements and resulted only in additional
financial reporting disclosures.
Recently
Issued Standards
In June
2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 168, “The FASB Accounting Standards
Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles - a
replacement of FASB Statement No. 162” (FAS 168). FAS 168
stipulates the FASB Accounting Standards Codification is the single source of
authoritative GAAP for all non-governmental entities, with the exception of the
SEC and its staff. FAS 168 changes the referencing and organization
of accounting guidance and is effective for interim and annual periods ending
after September 15, 2009. Since it is not intended to change or alter existing
GAAP, the Codification is not expected to have any impact on the Company’s
financial condition or results of operations.

Fair
Value Measures
The
Company’s financial assets are valued using market prices in active markets
(level 1). Level 1 instrument valuations are obtained from real-time
quotes for transactions in active exchange markets involving identical
assets. As of June 30, 2009, the Company did not have any assets in
less active markets (level 2) or without observable market values that would
require a high level of judgment to determine fair value (level 3). The
following table summarizes the Company’s financial assets measured at fair value
on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2009:

The
Company considers carrying amounts of accounts receivable, accounts payable and
accrued expenses to approximate fair value due to the short-term nature of these
financial instruments.
Investments
in Marketable Securities
Available-for-sale
securities are carried at fair value with the unrealized holding gains or
losses, net of tax, included as a component of accumulated other comprehensive
income (loss) in stockholders’ equity. Realized gains and losses on
available-for-sale securities are computed based upon specific identification
and included in other income (expense), net in the consolidated statement of
operations. Declines in value judged to be other-than-temporary on
available-for-sale securities are recorded as realized in other income
(expense), net in the consolidated statement of operations and the cost basis of
the security is reduced. The fair values for marketable equity securities are
based on quoted market prices. Held-to-maturity investments are
stated at amortized cost which approximates fair value. Interest
income is accrued as earned. Realized gains and losses on
held-to-maturity investments are computed based upon specific identification and
included in interest income, net in the consolidated statement of
operations. The Company does not have any investments classified as
trading.
Available-for-sale
securities consist of assets in a rabbi trust associated with its deferred
compensation plan at June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008. At June 30,
2009 and December 31, 2008, the carrying value of available-for-sale securities
was approximately $158,000 and $159,000, respectively, which are included in
short-term investments. The available-for-sale securities at June 30,
2009 and December 31, 2008 consisted of approximately $90,000 and $103,000,
respectively, in money market accounts, and approximately $68,000 and $56,000,
respectively, in mutual funds. At June 30, 2009 and December 31,
2008, accumulated other comprehensive income included no gross unrealized
holding gains and approximately $19,000 and $27,000, respectively, of gross
holding unrealized losses. During the six months ended June 30, 2009,
other income, net included no gross realized gains and losses. During
the six months ended June 30, 2008, other income, net included gross realized
gains of approximately $29,000 and no gross realized losses.
The
Company’s other marketable securities consist of investment grade debt
instruments such as obligations of U.S. Treasury and U.S. Federal Government
agencies and are maintained in separate accounts to support the Company’s
letters-of-credit. These investments are categorized as
held-to-maturity because the Company’s management has the intent and ability to
hold these securities to maturity. The Company had standby
letters-of-credit of approximately $5.4 million and $5.9 million at June 30,
2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively, as collateral for its existing
insurance policies and its facility leases. At June 30, 2009,
approximately $2.0 million and $3.4 million of held-to-maturity investments were
included in other current assets and other long-term assets,
respectively. At December 31, 2008, approximately $2.2 million and
$3.6 million of held-to-maturity investments were included in other current
assets and other long-term assets, respectively. At June 30, 2009 and
December 31, 2008, held-to-maturity investments included:

FACILITIES
REALIGNMENT:
|
The
Company recorded facility realignment charges totaling approximately $1.3
million in the second quarter of 2009 related to unused leased office space at
its Dresher, Pennsylvania location. The Company also recorded a noncash
impairment charge of approximately $0.5 million related to furniture and
leasehold improvements in the unused office space as the Company determined it
was unlikely that it will be able to recover the carrying value of these
long-lived assets. The asset impairment resulted in charges against
the accumulated depreciation balance of the respective assets. The
Company recorded facility realignment charges totaling approximately $0.1
million during the year ended December 31, 2008. These charges were
for costs related to unused leased office space the Company has at its Saddle
River, New Jersey and Dresher facilities. In 2007, the Company
sub-leased the unused office space at its Saddle River, New Jersey location and
also secured sub-leases for two of the vacant spaces at its Dresher
location. The Company is currently seeking to sublease the
approximate 18,500 square feet of unused space at its Dresher
location. A reconciliation of the liability associated with this
facility realignment initiative is as follows:

COMMITMENTS
AND CONTINGENCIES:
|
Letters–of-Credit
As of
June 30, 2009, the Company had $5.4 million of outstanding letters-of-credit as
required by its existing insurance policies and facility
leases. These letters-of-credit are supported by investments in
held-to-maturity securities. See Note 4 for more
details.
Litigation
Due to
the nature of the businesses 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, the 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, 2009, 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 other selling, general and
administrative expense. The Company did not incur any costs or
expenses relating to these matters during 2008 or the first six months of
2009.

PRODUCT
COMMERCIALIZATION CONTRACT:
|
On April
11, 2008, the Company announced the signing of a promotion agreement with
Novartis Pharmaceuticals Corporation (Novartis). Pursuant to the
agreement, the Company had the co-exclusive right to promote on behalf of
Novartis the pharmaceutical product Elidel® (pimecrolimus) Cream 1% (Product) to
physicians in the United States.
At
December 31, 2008, the Company accrued a contract loss of approximately $10.3
million, representing the anticipated future loss that the Company expected to
incur to fulfill its contractual obligations under this product
commercialization agreement through February 2010, the earliest termination date
for this contract.
On April
22, 2009, the Company and Novartis mutually agreed to terminate this promotion
agreement. In connection with the termination, the Company entered
into an amendment to a currently existing fee for service sales force agreement
(the Sales Force Agreement) with Novartis relating to another Novartis branded
product, whereby the Company agreed to provide Novartis a credit of
approximately $5 million to be applied to the services provided by the Company
under the Sales Force Agreement through the scheduled December 31, 2009
agreement expiration date (or earlier termination thereof). Under the
original terms of the Sales Force Agreement, Novartis is able to terminate the
Sales Force Agreement for any reason upon 45 days’ prior written notice to the
Company. Upon the expiration or earlier termination of the Sales
Force Agreement, if there is a shortfall between the value of the services
actually provided to Novartis by the Company and the $5 million credit from
April 1, 2009 through the effective date of termination or expiration, the
Company will pay Novartis an amount equal to this shortfall. Under
the amendment to the Sales Force Agreement, the Company also agreed to provide
Novartis with an additional credit of approximately $250,000 to be applied
against any services that the Company may perform for Novartis during
2010. During the second quarter of 2009, the Company reduced its
contract loss accrual by approximately $2.8 million through cost of services in
the Product Commercialization Services (PC Services) segment.
At June
30, 2009, the Company’s accrual for contract losses of approximately $3.2
million represents the anticipated future loss expected to be incurred by the
Company to fulfill its contractual obligations under the amended Sales Force
Agreement through December 31, 2009. The loss contract provision for
this agreement includes the cost of the sales force needed to deliver the
contracted number of sales calls. In determining the amount of the
loss contract provision, projections regarding estimated future cash flows are
made to estimate the expected loss. The use of alternative estimates
and assumptions could increase or decrease the estimated loss and potentially
result in a different impact to the Company’s results of
operations. Further, changes in business strategy and/or market
conditions may significantly impact these judgments. Actual results
could materially differ from this estimate.

STOCK-BASED
COMPENSATION:
|
On
February 19, 2009, under the terms of the stockholder-approved PDI, Inc. 2004
Stock Award Incentive Plan (the 2004 Plan), the Compensation and Management
Development Committee (Compensation Committee) of the Board of Directors of the
Company approved grants of SARs and restricted stock units (RSUs) 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. In February, there were 58,574
RSUs issued with a grant date fair value of $5.89 and 136,445 SARs issued with a
grant price of $5.89 as part of the Company’s 2009 long-term incentive
plan. In May 2009, the Company also granted 80,900 RSUs with a grant
date fair value of $3.41 per unit to all employees excluding the Company’s
senior management. Additionally, in June 2009, the Company issued
110,385 RSUs with a grant date fair value of $3.67 per unit to the non-employee
independent members of the Company’s Board of Directors on the date of its
Annual Meeting of Stockholders.
The
Company recognized $0.4 million and $0.5 million of stock-based compensation
expense for the quarters ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively and $0.9
million and $0.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008,
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
summarizes income tax expense on income from operations and the effective tax
rate for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2009 and
2008:

the change in unrecognized tax benefits and deferred valuation
allowances. Corporate income tax expense for the six months ended
June 30, 2008 was primarily attributable to state and local taxes.
There have been no material changes to the balance of unrecognized tax

significant change to the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits within the
next 12 months.

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, 2008. During the quarter ended June 30,
2009, there was approximately $1.6 million of intersegment revenue and $1.8
million of intersegment expense related to the work the Company’s Sales Services
segment provided on behalf of the PC Services segment to satisfy the settlement
of its Product promotion agreement obligations (see Note
9). 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.

“Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31,
2008, as well as other documents we file with the United States Securities and
Exchange Commission (SEC) from time-to-time, for other important factors that
could cause our actual results to differ materially from our current
expectations and from the forward-looking statements discussed in this Form

OVERVIEW
We are a
leading provider of contract sales teams in the United States to pharmaceutical
companies. Additionally, we provide marketing research and physician
interaction programs. Our services offer customers a range of
promotional options for the commercialization of their products throughout their
lifecycles, from development through maturity.
Our
business depends in large part on demand from the life sciences industry for
outsourced sales and marketing services. In recent years, this demand
has been adversely impacted by certain industry-wide factors affecting
pharmaceutical companies, including, among other things, pressures on pricing
and access, a decline in the number of Americans with private insurance,
successful challenges to intellectual property rights (including the
introduction of competitive generic products), a strict regulatory environment
and decreased 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
PDI. A very significant source of our revenue is derived from our
sales force arrangements with large pharmaceutical
13
PDI, Inc.
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 or 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 accounted for approximately $150.9
million in revenue during 2006 and $15.9 million in revenue during
2007. In addition, a significant sales force program for one of our
clients was terminated, effective September 30, 2008, due to generic product
competition. This program accounted for approximately $10.7 million
in revenue in 2008. This reduction in demand for outsourced
pharmaceutical sales and marketing services could be further exacerbated by the
current economic and financial crisis occurring in the United States and
worldwide. For example, certain customers within our marketing
services business segment have recently delayed the implementation or reduced
the scope of a number of marketing initiatives. If companies in the
pharmaceutical and life sciences industries significantly reduce their
promotional, marketing and sales expenditures or significantly reduce or
eliminate the role of pharmaceutical sales representatives in the promotion of
their products, our business, financial condition and results of operations
would be materially and adversely affected.
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 order
to position us to thrive in this challenging environment as a best in class
organization, we are concentrating on our core business, which is high-impact
field promotional support. This focus revolves around taking
advantage of strategic commercial opportunities, continuously increasing the
impact we have on our customers’ products and portfolios, maintaining excellence
in customer-focused capabilities that support our field force business, building
unity and establishing a strong performance-based culture and reducing costs and
improving asset utilization. In addition, we also continue to focus
on enhancing our commercialization capabilities by aggressively promoting and
broadening the depth of the value-added service offerings of our existing
Marketing Services businesses.

Nature
of Contracts by Segment
Sales
Services
Contracts
within our Sales Services segment consist primarily of detailing agreements and
are nearly all fee-for-service arrangements. The term of these
contracts is typically between one and two years which may be renewed or
extended upon mutual agreement of the parties. 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. Our Sales
Services contracts include standard mutual representations and warranties as
well as mutual confidentiality and indemnification provisions, including product
liability indemnification from our clients to us. These contracts,
which include the Sales Services contracts with our significant customers, may
also contain performance benchmarks, such as a minimum amount of detailing
activity to a certain physician targets within a specified amount of time, and
our failure to meet these stated benchmarks may result in significant financial
penalties for us. Certain contracts may also include incentive
payments that can be earned if our activities generate results that meet or
exceed agreed-upon performance targets.
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
14
PDI, Inc.
six
months. These contracts include standard representations and
warranties as well as confidentiality and indemnification obligations and 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 by us 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 contracts, it is unlikely the loss or
termination of any individual TVG contract would have a material adverse effect
on our business, financial condition, results of operations, or cash
flow. We are currently in the process of winding down the operations
of the VIM business unit and expect this process to be completed during
2009.
PC
Services
In April
2008, we entered into a contract under our product commercialization initiative
with Novartis. On April 22, 2009, we announced the termination of
this agreement with Novartis. See Note 9 to the condensed
consolidated financial statements for additional information relating to the
agreement. We are not actively engaged in any additional product
commercialization opportunities at this time although we continue to evaluate
potential opportunities within this segment on a very selective and
opportunistic basis and may pursue additional opportunities in the future to the
extent we are able to mitigate certain risks relating to the investment of our
resources.

Revenue
Sales
Services’ revenue for the quarter ended June 30, 2009 decreased by approximately
$9.5 million compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2008 primarily due to a
reduction in sales force engagements. Sales Services revenue from new
contracts and expansions of existing contracts was more than offset by lost
revenue from the internalization of our contract sales force by one of our
long-term clients and the expiration or termination of sales force arrangements
in effect during 2008. Marketing Services’ revenue for the quarter
ended June 30, 2009 decreased by approximately $4.1 million, or 51.0%, as
compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2008. This was partially
attributable to a decrease in revenue within our Pharmakon business unit of $1.8
million as a result of a reduction in the number of projects performed for its
two largest clients due to delays in the implementation or reduced scope of a
number of marketing initiatives. The segment also had decreases at
VIM of approximately $1.2 million as this business unit is winding down in 2009
and TVG of $1.1 million due to fewer projects in 2009. PC Services
recorded negative revenue of $1.0 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2008
due to a non-refundable upfront payment made to Novartis as per the terms of our
promotion agreement that was terminated in April 2009.
Cost
of services
Cost of
services for the quarter ended June 30, 2009 was $9.4 million, 64.9% less than
cost of services of $26.8 million for the quarter ended June 30,
2008. Sales Services’ cost of services declined for the quarter ended
June 30, 2009 versus the comparable prior year quarter primarily due to a
reduction in headcount and related costs correlating to the overall reduction in
the number and size of our sales force engagements. Marketing
Services’ cost of services declined for the quarter ended June 30, 2009 versus
the comparable prior year quarter due to the decline in revenue attributable to
the overall continued softness in the market for these types of
services. PC Services’ cost of services for the quarter ended June
30, 2009 included a credit of $2.5 million due to the reversal of our 2008
excess contract loss accrual. PC Services had cost of services of
$4.0 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2008. See Note 9 to the
condensed consolidated financial statements for more details.
Gross
profit
The gross
profit percentage increased for the quarter ended June 30, 2009 as compared to
the quarter ended June 30, 2008 primarily due to the impact of our promotional
agreement within the PC Services in each respective quarter. The
quarter ended June 30, 2009 benefited from positive gross profit of
approximately $2.8 million due to the reversal of excess contract loss accrual
associated with the termination of this promotion agreement. See Note
9 to the condensed consolidated financial statements for more
details. The quarter ended June 30, 2008 had negative gross profit of
approximately $5.0 million associated with the execution of our promotional
agreement within the PC Services.
Sales
Services’ gross profit decreased by $2.8 million, or 55.0%, on lower revenue for
the quarter ended June 30, 2009 as compared to the quarter ended June 30,
2008. The gross profit percentage decreased from 22.1% for the
quarter ended June 30, 2008 to 16.7% for the quarter ended June 30,
2009. The percentage decrease was primarily due to fixed costs on a
lower revenue base within our Select Access business unit in the quarter ended
June 30, 2009 as compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2008.
Marketing
Services’ gross profit decreased by $1.5 million, or 45.7%, on lower revenue for
the quarter ended June 30, 2009 as compared to the quarter ended June 30,
2008. The gross profit percentage increased from 42.3% for the
quarter ended June 30, 2008 to 46.9% for the quarter ended June 30,
2009. This increase was primarily attributable to a larger percentage
of 2009 revenue being generated from our higher margin Pharmakon business
unit.

Compensation
expense for the quarters ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 was approximately $5.8
million and $7.2 million, respectively. The quarter ended June 30,
2008 included approximately $0.7 million of costs associated with the retirement
of our former chief executive office on June 20, 2008. The quarter ended June
30, 2009 included decreases in overall corporate employee costs versus the
comparable prior year period due to a reduction in Corporate
headcount. As a percentage of total net revenue, compensation expense
increased to 35.3% for the quarter ended June 30, 2009 as compared to 23.6% for
the quarter ended June 30, 2008 due to the lower revenue base.
Sales
Services’ compensation expense for the quarter ended June 30, 2009 declined by
approximately $0.9 million, as compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2008. This
decrease is primarily due to a decrease in allocated corporate costs as
discussed above. Marketing Services’ compensation expense for the
quarter ended June 30, 2009 decreased by approximately
16

other selling, general and administrative expenses were approximately $4.0
million and $4.3 million for the quarters ended June 30, 2009 and 2008,
respectively. The decrease was primarily attributable to lower
depreciation expense of approximately $0.3 million primarily due to the
conversion to a new financial reporting system in the third quarter of
2008.
Sales
Services’ other selling, general and administrative expenses for the quarter
ended June 30, 2009 decreased by approximately $0.1 million when compared to the
quarter ended June 30, 2008. Marketing Services’ other selling,
general and administrative expenses for the quarter ended June 30, 2009
increased by approximately $0.1 million when compared to the quarter ended June
30, 2008. PC Services’ other selling, general and administrative
expenses for the quarter ended June 30, 2008 was approximately $0.3 million of
allocated corporate costs.
Facilities
realignment costs
In the
second quarter of 2009, the Marketing Services segment incurred charges of
approximately $1.3 million related to unused office space capacity at our
Dresher facility and approximately $0.5 million related to the impairment of
fixed assets associated with the unused office space. There is
approximately 18,500 square feet of unused office space at our Dresher that we
are seeking to sub-lease.
Operating
loss
There
were operating losses of approximately $4.7 million and $7.9 million for the
quarters ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively. This decreased
operating loss was primarily due to the settlement of our product
commercialization contract in April 2009 and the reversal of $2.8 million of
accrued loss associated with that contract. See Note 9 the condensed
consolidated financial statements.
Other
income, net
Other
income, net, for the quarters ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 was approximately
$0.1 million and $0.8 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 quarter ended June 30,
2009.
Income
tax expense
Corporate
income tax expense was approximately $0.2 million and $0.4 million for the
quarters ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively. The effective tax rate for
the quarter ended June 30, 2009 was 4.6%, compared to an effective tax rate of
5.3% for the quarter ended June 30, 2008. Income tax expense for the
quarter ended June 30, 2009 was primarily due to the change in unrecognized tax
benefits and deferred valuation allowances. Corporate income tax
expense for the quarter ended June 30, 2008 was primarily attributable to state
and local taxes.

Revenue
Sales
Services’ revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2009 decreased by
approximately $14.2 million as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2008
primarily due to a reduction in sales force engagements. Sales
Services’ revenue from new contracts and expansions of existing contracts was
more than offset by lost revenue from the internalization of our contract sales
force by one of our long-term clients and the expiration or termination of sales
force arrangements in effect during 2008. Marketing Services’ revenue
decreased by approximately $8.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009,
as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2008. This was primarily
attributable to a decrease in revenue within our Pharmakon business unit of $5.4
million due to a reduction in the number of projects performed for
its two largest clients due to delays in the implementation or reduced scope of
a number of marketing initiatives. The segment also had decreases at
VIM of approximately $1.3 million as this business unit is winding down in 2009
and TVG of $1.3 million due to fewer projects in 2009. PC Services
had no revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2009. PC Services
had negative revenue of $1.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008 due
to a non-refundable upfront payment made to Novartis as per the terms of our
promotion agreement.
Cost
of services
Cost of
services for the six months ended June 30, 2009 was $28.0 million, or 44.4%,
less than cost of services of $50.3 million for the six months ended June 30,
2008. Sales Services’ cost of services decreased for the six months
ended June 30, 2009 versus the comparable prior year period primarily due to a
reduction in headcount and related costs correlating to an overall reduction in
the number and size of our sales force engagements. Marketing
Services’ cost of services declined for the six months ended June 30, 2009
versus the comparable prior year period due to the decline in revenue
attributable to the overall continued softness in the market for these types of
services. PC Services’ cost of services was a credit of $2.5 million
for the six months ended June 30, 2009 due to the reversal of our 2008 excess
contract loss accrual. PC Services had cost of services of $4.5
million for the six months ended June 30, 2008. See Note 9 to the
condensed consolidated financial statements for more details.
Gross
Profit
The
overall increase in gross profit percentage from 19.6% for the six months ended
June 30, 2008 to 29.8% for the six months ended June 30, 2009 was primarily the
result of the impact of our product commercialization contract. The
six months ended June 30, 2009 benefited from the reversal of the excess
contract loss accrual of approximately $2.8 million associated with the
settlement of our promotional agreement within the PC Services. The
six months ended June 30, 2008 had negative gross profit of approximately $5.5
million associated with the execution of this promotion
agreement. Sales Services’ gross profit percentage decreased from
22.7% for the six months ended June 30, 2008 to 17.3% for the six months ended
June 30, 2009. The percentage decrease was primarily the result of
negative gross profit recognized on one contract which terminated in the first
quarter of 2009. The revenue associated with this contract in the
first quarter of 2009 was approximately $1.7 million. Gross profit
percentage for the Marketing Services was comparable in both
periods.

The
decrease in compensation expense of approximately $1.3 million for the six
months ended June 30, 2009 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2008 was
partially due to the retirement of our former chief executive officer on June
20, 2008. Overall corporate employee costs (i.e. salary and bonus
expense) decreased during the six months ended June 30, 2009 versus the
comparable prior year period due to corporate headcount reductions and lower
incentive compensation.
Sales
Services’ compensation expense for the six months ended June 30, 2009 decreased
by approximately $1.0 million as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2008
primarily due to a decrease in allocated corporate costs as discussed
above. Marketing Services’ compensation expense was approximately
$4.6 million in both periods. PC Services’ compensation expense
decreased for the six month period ended June 30, 2009 as compared to the prior
year period as a result of the termination of our promotion agreement within PC
Services in April of 2009.

Total
other selling, general and administrative expenses were comparable at $8.3
million and $8.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and June 30,
2008, respectively. The decrease was primarily attributable to lower
depreciation expense of approximately $0.6 million primarily due to the
conversion to a new financial reporting system in the third quarter of 2008. As
a percentage of revenue these expenses increased to 20.8% for the six months
ended June 30, 2009 as compared to 13.7% in the six months ended June 30, 2008
primarily due to the decrease in 2009 revenue.
Facilities
realignment costs
For the
six months ended June 30, 2009, the Marketing Services segment incurred charges
of approximately $1.3 million related to unused office space at our Dresher
facility and approximately $0.5 million related to the impairment of fixed
assets associated with the unused office space. There is
approximately 18,500 square feet of unused office space at our Dresher that we
are seeking to sub-lease.
Operating
loss
There
were operating losses of approximately $10.3 million and $9.6 million for the
six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively.
Other
income, net
Other
income, net, for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 was approximately
$0.2 million and $2.0 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,
2009.
Income
tax expense
Corporate
income tax expense was approximately $0.5 million and $0.9 million for the six
months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively. The effective tax
rate for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 was 4.5% and 11.5%,
respectively. Corporate income tax expense for the six months ended
June 30, 2009 was primarily due to the change in unrecognized tax benefits and
deferred valuation allowances. Corporate income tax expense for the
six months ended June 30, 2008 was primarily attributable to state and local
taxes.
LIQUIDITY
AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
As of
June 30, 2009, we had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $76.2 million
and working capital of $75.2 million, compared to cash and cash equivalents of
approximately $90.1 million and working capital of approximately $81.6 million
at December 31, 2008. As of June 30, 2009, the Company had no
commercial debt.
For the
six months ended June 30, 2009, net cash used in operating activities was $13.6
million, compared to $3.7 million net cash used in operating activities for the
six months ended June 30, 2008. The main components of cash used in
operating activities during the six months ended June 30, 2009 was a net loss of
$10.6 million and a decrease in current liabilities of $14.2
million. This was partially offset by a reduction in accounts
receivable of $7.4 million.
As of
June 30, 2009, we had $3.4 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 on contracts in progress are earned and billed within 12 months
of the period they are originally recognized. As of June 30, 2009, we
had approximately $1.4 million of unearned contract revenue. Unearned
contract revenue represents amounts billed to clients for services that have not
been performed. These amounts are recorded as revenue in the periods
when earned.
For the
six months ended June 30, 2009, net cash used in investing activities was
approximately $0.2 million as compared to net cash provided by investing
activities of approximately $0.5 million for the comparable prior year period
primarily due to lower interest rates and lower average cash balances for the
six months ended June 30, 2009. During the six months ended June 30,
2009, we incurred approximately $0.2 million of capital expenditures primarily
related to configuring the office space at our Dresher facility to allow for the
unused space to be subletted. We had approximately $0.4 million of
capital expenditures primarily for computer and software purchases during the
six months ended June 30, 2008. For both periods, all capital
expenditures were funded out of available cash. For the six months
ended June 30, 2009, net cash used in financing

activities
represented shares that were delivered back to us and included in treasury stock
for the payment of taxes resulting from the vesting of restricted
stock.
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, 2009, we had two clients that accounted for approximately 41.5%
and 18.2%, respectively, or a total of 59.7% 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 significant 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. We announced the
termination of this agreement on April 22, 2009. See Note 9 to the
condensed consolidated financial statements for additional
information. In connection with the termination of this agreement, we
simultaneously entered into an amendment to a currently existing fee for service
sales force agreement with Novartis relating to another Novartis branded
product, whereby we agreed to provide Novartis with a credit of approximately $5
million to be applied to the services provided by us under the sales force
agreement through the scheduled December 31, 2009 expiration of that agreement
(or the earlier termination thereof by Novartis for any reason). The
balance of that credit was $3.2 million at June 30, 2009. Upon the
expiration or earlier termination of the sales force agreement, if there is a
shortfall between the value of the services actually provided to Novartis by us
and the credit, we will pay Novartis an amount equal to this
shortfall. In addition, we also agreed to provide Novartis with an
additional credit of approximately $250,000 to be applied against any services
that we may perform for Novartis during 2010.
Going Forward
Our
primary sources of liquidity are cash generated from our operations and
available cash and cash equivalents. These sources of liquidity are
needed to fund our working capital requirements, contractual obligations and
estimated capital expenditures of $0.7 million in 2009. We expect our
working capital requirements to increase as a result of new customer contracts
generally providing for longer than historical payment terms.
We
continue to rightsize our facilities and corporate structure on a going forward
basis. We incurred approximately $1.8 million in facilities
realignment charges in the second quarter related to unused office space at our
Dresher facility. There is approximately 18,500 square feet of unused
office space at our Dresher facility that we are seeking to
sublease. We are currently considering relocating our corporate
headquarters to a smaller, strategically located office space in central New
Jersey. Should we leave our Saddle River facility, we may incur
significant additional facilities realignment charges in the second half of
2009. In the event we leave our Saddle River facility, we would seek
to sublease the approximately 47,000 square feet of vacated office space in that
facility. There can be no assurance, however, that we will be able to
successfully sublet unused office space, on favorable terms or at all,
particularly in light of the current economic and financial crisis.
Although
we expect to incur a net loss for the year ending December 31, 2009 and our cash
balances are expected to decline further through December 31, 2009, we believe
that our existing cash balances and expected cash flows generated from
operations will be sufficient to meet our operating requirements beyond the next
12 months. However, we may require alternative forms of financing to achieve our
longer-term strategic plans.

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 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 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 June 30, 2009, 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 other selling, general and
administrative expense. We did not incur any costs or expenses
relating to these matters during 2008 or the first six months of
2009.
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, 2008.
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,
2008.

PDI,
Inc.
We
incurred substantial losses in connection with our recently terminated
promotional agreement under our product commercialization initiative,
and if we are unable to generate sufficient revenue from any future product
commercialization opportunities that we may 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.
Effective
April 22, 2009, we and Novartis mutually agreed to terminate the promotional
agreement that was entered into in April 2008 in connection with our product
commercialization initiative. During the term of this promotion
agreement, we incurred significant expenses in connection with implementing and
maintaining the program while required product sales levels necessary to receive
revenue under the agreement were never achieved, and therefore we did not
generate any revenue from this agreement during its term.
While we
are not actively engaged in any additional product commercialization
opportunities at this time, we continue to evaluate potential opportunities
within this segment on a very selective and opportunistic basis. To
the extent we enter into any additional product commercialization arrangements
in the future, these types of arrangements may require us to make a significant
upfront investment of our resources and would therefore be likely to generate
losses in the early stages as program ramp up occurs. In addition,
any compensation we will receive is expected to be dependent on sales of the
product, and in certain arrangements, including our previous arrangement with
Novartis, we would not receive any compensation unless product sales exceed
certain thresholds. There can be no assurance that our promotional
activities will generate sufficient product sales for these types of
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 the level of promotional response to the
product, 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 to implement and maintain these programs. Our
arrangement with Novartis required, and any future product commercialization
arrangements we may enter into may also require, that we make a certain amount
of expenditures in connection with our promotional activities for the product,
regardless of whether sufficient product sales are achieved in order for us to
generate revenue, and there may be limited opportunities for us to terminate
this type of arrangement prior to its scheduled expiration. In
addition, if any contractual product commercialization arrangement we enter into
were to be terminated by our customer 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 who are in high demand and who often have
competitive employment options. Our failure to attract and retain qualified
individuals could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial
condition and results of operations.
If
we incur problems with any of our third party service providers, our business
operations could be adversely affected.
We
may experience impairment charges of our goodwill and other intangible
assets.
Under
Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 142, we are required to evaluate
goodwill for impairment at least annually, and between annual tests if events or
circumstances warrant such a test. These events or circumstances
could include a significant long-term adverse change in the business climate,
poor indicators of operating performance or a sale or disposition of a
significant portion of a reporting unit. We test goodwill for
impairment at the reporting unit level, which is one level below its operating
segments. Goodwill has been assigned to the reporting units to which
the value of the goodwill relates. We currently have six reporting
units; however, only one reporting unit, Pharmakon, includes
goodwill. If we determine that the fair value is less than the
carrying value, an impairment loss will be recorded in our statement of
operations. The determination of fair value is a highly subjective
exercise and can produce significantly different results based on the
assumptions used and methodologies employed. If our projected
long-term sales growth rate, profit margins or terminal rate are considerably
lower and/or the assumed weighted average cost of capital is considerably
higher, future testing may indicate impairment and we would have to record a
noncash goodwill impairment loss in our statement of operations.
