NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

JUNE 30, 2012 AND 2011

(Unaudited)

1. Description of Business and Basis of Presentation:

References in this Quarterly Report on 10-Q to “we”, “our”, “Mastech” or “the Company” refer collectively to Mastech Holdings, Inc. and its wholly-owned operating subsidiaries, which are included in these Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Description of Business

We are a provider of IT and specialized healthcare staffing services. Our IT staffing business combines technical expertise with business process experience to deliver a broad range of services within business intelligence / data warehousing; web services; enterprise resource planning & customer resource management; and eBusiness solutions. We work with businesses and institutions with significant IT spending and recurring staffing needs. We also support smaller organizations with their “project focused” temporary IT staffing requirements. Our services span a broad range of industry verticals including: automotive; banking; consumer products; education; financial services; government; healthcare; manufacturing; retail; technology; telecommunications; transportation; and utilities. Our healthcare staffing business provides specialized healthcare professionals, including surgical nurses, therapists and physicians, to hospitals and other healthcare facilities.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (the “Financial Statements”) have been prepared by management in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and disclosures required by U.S. GAAP for complete consolidated financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting principally of normal recurring adjustments, considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and the accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from these estimates. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes for the year ended December 31, 2011, included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 23, 2012. Additionally, our operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 are not necessarily indicative of the results that can be expected for the year ending December 31, 2012 or for any other period.

Principles of Consolidation

The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All material intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. The Company utilizes the equity method of accounting, as prescribed by The Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 323 “The Equity Method of Accounting for Investments in Common Stock”, when it is able to exercise significant management influence over the entity’s operations, which generally occurs when Mastech has an ownership interest of between 20% and 50% in an entity. For investments in which the Company does not exercise significant management influence, generally when Mastech has an ownership interest of less than 20%, the Company utilizes the cost method of accounting.

Segment Reporting

The Company, which aggregates its IT and healthcare staffing operating segments based on the nature of services, has one reportable segment in accordance with ASC Topic 280 “Disclosures About Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information”.

2. Significant Accounting Policies:

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

The Company is exposed to foreign currency risks by nature of its Indian-based global recruitment centers. During 2012, the Company’s expenditures in Indian rupees, in support of these operations, have increased significantly. Accordingly, to mitigate and manage the risk of changes in foreign currency exchange rates, the Company entered into foreign currency forward contracts in June 2012. These forward contracts have been designated as cash flow hedging instruments and qualified as effective hedges at inception under ASC Topic 815, “Derivatives and Hedging”. The Company does not enter into derivative contracts for speculative purposes.

 

7


Table of Contents

All derivatives are recognized on the balance sheet at fair value. The effective portion of the changes in fair value on these instruments is recorded in other comprehensive income (loss) and is reclassified into the Consolidated Statement of Operations on the same line item and in the same period in which the underlying hedge transaction affects earnings. Changes in the fair value of these instruments deemed ineffective are recognized in the Consolidated Statement of Operations as foreign exchange gains (losses).

With respect to derivatives designated as hedges, the Company formally documents all relationships between the hedging instruments and hedged items, as well as its risk management objective and strategy for undertaking such transaction. The Company evaluates hedge effectiveness at the time a contract is entered into as well as on an ongoing basis. If during such time, a contract is deemed ineffective, the change in the fair value of the derivative is recorded in the Consolidated Statement of Operations as foreign exchange gain (loss).

Other Significant Accounting Policies

The Company’s other significant accounting policies are described in Note 1. “Significant Accounting Policies” of the notes to our audited Consolidated Financial Statements, included in our 2011 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

3. Goodwill

As of June 30, 2012, the Company has $405,000 of goodwill recorded on its balance sheet related to the January 2, 2010 acquisition of Curastat, Inc. There was no activity in our goodwill account during the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 and June 30, 2011.

4. Intangible Assets

Intangible assets consist of customer relationships, trade name and non-compete covenants related to the acquisition of Curastat, Inc. Intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives, which range from 2 to 5 years. Intangible assets were comprised of the following as of June 30, 2012:

Amortization expense for the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011 was $15,000 and $20,000, respectively, and is included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

5. Commitments and Contingencies

Lease Commitments

The Company rents certain office space and equipment under non-cancelable leases which provides for future minimum rental payments. Total lease commitments have not materially changed from the amounts disclosed in the Company’s 2011 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Contingencies

In the ordinary course of our business, the Company is involved in a number of lawsuits and administrative proceedings. While uncertainties are inherent in the final outcome of these matters, the Company’s management believes, after consultation with legal counsel, that the disposition of these proceedings should not have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

6. Employee Benefit Plan

The Company provides an Employee Retirement Savings Plan (the “Retirement Plan”) under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) that covers substantially all U.S. based salaried employees. Employees may contribute a percentage of eligible compensation to the Plan, subject to certain limits under the Code. For the six months ended June 30, 2012 and June 30, 2011, the Company did not provide for any matching contributions.

7. Mastech Stock Incentive Plan

In 2008, the Company adopted a Stock Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) which provides that up to 800,000 shares of the Company’s common stock shall be allocated for issuance to directors, officers and key personnel. Grants under the Plan can be made in the form of stock options, stock appreciation rights, performance shares or stock awards. There were no grants under this Plan during the three and six months ended June 30, 2012. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, the Company granted 0 and 6,000 stock options and 90,000 restricted stock awards, respectively. As of June 30, 2012, there were 162,000 shares available for grant under the Plan.

8. Stock-Based Compensation

Stock-based compensation expense for the three months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011 was $39,000 and $62,000, respectively, and for the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011 was $77,000 and $126,000, respectively. Stock-based compensation expense is included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, the Company issued 25,524 shares and 30,633 shares related to the exercise of stock options and vesting of restricted stock grants. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, the Company issued 18,750 and 18,750 shares, respectively, related to the exercise of stock options.

9. Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

In June 2012, the Company entered into foreign currency forward contracts (“derivative contracts”) to mitigate and manage the risk of changes in foreign exchange rates related to highly probable expenditures in support of its Indian-based global recruitment centers. These forward contracts have been designated as cash flow hedging instruments and qualified as effective hedges at inception under ASC Topic 815, “Derivatives and Hedging”.

All derivatives are recognized on the balance sheet at fair value. The effective portion of the changes in fair value on these instruments is recorded in other comprehensive income (loss) and is reclassified into the Consolidated Statement of Operations on the same line item and in the same period in which the underlying hedge transaction affects earnings. Changes in the fair value of these instruments deemed ineffective are recognized in the Consolidated Statement of Operations as foreign exchange gains (losses). Hedge effectiveness is assessed based on changes in the fair value of the forward contracts related to the difference between the spot price and the forward price. Forward points (premiums/discounts) are excluded from the assessment of hedge effectiveness and are recognized in the Consolidated Statement of Operations as foreign exchange gains/(losses).

The outstanding derivative contracts mature in twelve equal monthly installments of 9 million Indian Rupees through June 2013, meet the qualifying criteria for hedge accounting and have been deemed to be effective. Accordingly, the Company has recorded other comprehensive gains of $4,000 as of June 30, 2012.

The following table presents information related to foreign currency forward contracts held by the Company:

10. Fair Value Measurements

ASC Topic 820 “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” defines fair value as 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 such asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. ASC 820-10 establishes a three-tier value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value. The fair value hierarchy requires entities to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The three levels of input used to measure fair value are as follows:

 

   

Level 1 – Inputs are observable quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets and liabilities.

 

   

Level 2 – Inputs are observable, other than quoted prices included in Level 1, such as quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are directly or indirectly observable in the marketplace.

 

   

Level 3 – Inputs are unobservable that are supported by little or no market activity.

At June 30, 2012, the Company carried the following financial assets and liabilities at fair value measured on a recurring basis (in thousands):

12. Shareholders’ Equity

On December 23, 2010, the Company announced a share repurchase program of up to 750,000 shares of the Company’s common stock over a two year period. Repurchases under the program may be made through open market purchases or privately negotiated transactions in accordance with applicable securities laws.

On February 7, 2012, the Company announced that it was commencing a modified “Dutch Auction” tender offer to repurchase up to 608,000 shares of its common stock (remaining unpurchased shares under its repurchase program), in accordance with Schedule TO, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 7, 2012. The result of this corporate action was the repurchase of 429,886 shares of the Company’s common stock on March 13, 2012, at a price of $5.79 per share, inclusive of transaction costs. The acquired shares will be held in Treasury. No shares of the Company’s common stock were repurchased during the three months ended June 30, 2012.

Accounts Payable with iGATE’s Affiliate

At June 30, 2012 and 2011, the Company had accounts payable balances of $0 and $153,000, respectively.

15. Earnings Per Share

The computation of basic earnings per share (“EPS”) is based on the Company’s net income divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share, reflects the potential dilution that could occur if outstanding stock options were exercised. The dilutive effect of stock options was calculated using the treasury stock method.

For the three months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, the computation of diluted earnings per share does not include 50,000 and 252,000 stock options, respectively, as the effect of their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive. For the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, 50,000 and 249,000 stock options, respectively, were not included in the computation of earnings per share.

Overview:

We are a domestic provider of IT and specialized healthcare staffing services. From July 1986 through September 2008, we conducted our business as subsidiaries of iGATE. We do not sell, lease or otherwise market computer software or hardware, and 100% of our revenue is derived from the sale of staffing services.

Our IT staffing business combines technical expertise with business process experience to deliver a broad range of services within business intelligence / data warehousing; web services; enterprise resource planning & customer resource management; and eBusiness solutions. We provide our services across various industry verticals including: automotive; consumer products; education; financial services; government; healthcare; manufacturing; retail; technology; telecommunications; transportation; and utilities. Our healthcare staffing unit provides specialized healthcare professionals to hospitals and other healthcare facilities.

The Company aggregates its IT and healthcare operating segments based on the nature of services and, accordingly, has one reportable segment. Thus, no segment related disclosures are presented. However, the Company tracks and evaluates its revenues and gross profits by four distinct sales channels: wholesale IT; retail IT; specialized healthcare and permanent placements / fees. Our wholesale IT channel consists of system integrators and other IT staffing firms with a need to supplement their abilities to attract highly-qualified temporary technical computer personnel. Our retail IT channel focuses on clients that are end-users of IT staffing services. Within the retail channel are end-user clients that have retained a third party to provide vendor management services, commonly known in the industry as Managed Service Providers (“MSP”). The specialized healthcare channel clients consist of hospitals and other healthcare facilities that utilize our staffing professionals. Permanent placement / fee revenues are incidental revenues derived as by-product opportunities of conducting our core contract staffing business.

Critical Accounting Policies:

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

The Company is exposed to foreign currency risks by nature of its Indian-based global recruitment centers. During 2012, the Company’s expenditures in Indian rupees, in support of these operations, have increased significantly. Accordingly, to mitigate and manage the risk of changes in foreign currency exchange rates, the Company entered into foreign currency forward contracts in June 2012. These forward contracts have been designated as cash flow hedging instruments and qualified as effective hedges at inception under ASC Topic 815, “Derivatives and Hedging”. The Company does not enter into derivative contracts for speculative purposes.

 

14


Table of Contents

All derivatives are recognized on the balance sheet at fair value. The effective portion of the changes in fair value on these instruments is recorded in other comprehensive income (loss) and is reclassified into the Consolidated Statement of Operations on the same line item and in the same period in which the underlying hedge transaction affects earnings. Changes in the fair value of these instruments deemed ineffective are recognized in the Consolidated Statement of Operations as foreign exchange gains (losses).

With respect to derivatives designated as hedges, the Company formally documents all relationships between the hedging instruments and hedged items, as well as its risk management objective and strategy for undertaking such transaction(s). The Company evaluates hedge effectiveness at the time a contract is entered into as well as on an ongoing basis. If during such time, a contract is deemed ineffective, the change in the fair value of the derivative is recorded in the Consolidated Statement of Operations as foreign exchange gain (loss).

Other Critical Accounting Policies

The Company’s other significant accounting policies are described in Note 1. “Significant Accounting Policies” of the notes to our audited Consolidated Financial Statements, included in our 2011 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Recent Developments:

On February 7, 2012, the Company announced that it was commencing a modified “Dutch Auction” tender offer to repurchase up to 608,000 shares of its common stock. If fully subscribed, this transaction would have completed the Company’s 750,000 share repurchase program announced on December 23, 2010.

The result of this corporate action was the repurchase of 429,886 shares of the Company’s common stock on March 13, 2012 at a purchase price of $5.79, inclusive of transaction costs. The cash outlay of $2.5 million required to complete this transaction was provided entirely from cash balances on hand.

During the three-months ended June 30, 2012, the Company did not repurchase any of the 177,228 common shares available for purchase under its share repurchase program referenced above.

Economic Trends and Outlook:

Generally, our business outlook is highly correlated to general U.S. economic conditions. During periods of increasing employment and economic expansion, demand for our services tends to increase. Conversely, during periods of contracting employment and / or a slowing domestic economy, demand for our services tends to decline. As the economy slowed during the last half of 2007 and recessionary conditions emerged in 2008 and during much of 2009, we experienced less demand for our staffing services. During the second half of 2009, we began to see signs of market stabilization and a modest pick-up in activity levels within certain sales channels and technologies. In 2010, market conditions continued to strengthen over the course of the year and activity levels within most of our sales channels progressively improved. In 2011 and during the first half of 2012, activity levels have continued to trend up in most technologies and sales channels. As we look towards the second half of the 2012, we have growing concerns about U.S. economic conditions due to lingering uncertainties that exist in the global economy.

In addition to tracking general U.S. economic conditions, a large portion of our revenues are generated from a limited number of clients. Accordingly, our trends and outlook are impacted by the prospects and well-being of these specific clients. This “account concentration” factor may cause our results of operations to deviate from the prevailing U.S. economic trends from time to time.

In recent years, a larger portion of our revenues have come from our wholesale IT sales channel, which consists largely of strategic relationships with systems integrators and other staffing organizations. This channel tends to carry lower gross margins, but provides higher volume opportunities. Should this trend in our business mix continue, it is likely that our overall gross margins will decline. Within our retail sales channel, many larger users of IT staffing services are employing MSP’s to manage their contractor spending in an effort to drive down overall costs. The impact of this shift towards the MSP model has been lower gross margins. Should this trend towards utilizing the MSP model continue it is likely that our gross margins will decline in the future.

Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended June 30, 2012 as Compared to the Three Months Ended June 30, 2011:

Revenues:

Revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2012 totaled $25.3 million, compared to $22.1 million for the corresponding three month period in 2011. This 14% year-over-year revenue increase largely reflects a higher demand for the Company’s services and the corresponding increase in IT billable consultants during the 2012 period and the expansion of our healthcare business. Billable IT headcount at June 30, 2012 totaled 587 consultants compared to 530 consultants, one-year earlier. For the three-month period ended June 30, 2012 our billable IT headcount increased 29-consultants.

Revenues from our wholesale IT channel increased approximately 8% during the three month period ended June 30, 2012 compared to the corresponding 2011 period. Higher revenue levels from staffing clients (up 30%) were driven by stronger demand for IT services. Partially offsetting this increase were lower integrator client revenues (down 5%) as lower levels of new ERP assignments have impacted this channel’s performance in 2012. Retail IT channel revenues were up approximately 27% during the three months ended June 30, 2012 compared to the period one-year earlier. Most of this increase came from higher demand at many of our MSP clients. Specialized healthcare revenues increased by 24% for the three month 2012 period compared to the corresponding 2011 period. This improvement reflects an expansion of our service offerings and the geographies in which we market such services. Permanent placement / fee revenues were in-line with revenues generated a year earlier.

During the three months ended June 30, 2012, we had three clients that represented more than 10% of total revenues (TEK Systems = 11.2%; IBM = 11.1%; and Kaiser Permanente = 11.1%). During the three months ended June 30, 2011, we had two clients that represented more than 10% of total revenue (IBM = 14.4% and TEK Systems = 11.5%). During the 2012 period, our top ten clients represented approximately 56% of total revenues compared to 61% of total revenues in the corresponding 2011 period.

Gross Margin:

Gross profits in the second quarter of 2012 totaled $4.8 million, or approximately $0.4 million higher than the second quarter of 2011. Gross profit as a percentage of revenue increased to 19.1% in the three-month period ending June 30, 2012 compared to 18.2% reported in the previous quarter. However, margins were still below the 20.1% achieved during the three month period ending June 30, 2011. The gross margin decline from a year earlier reflected supply-side pricing pressures within certain technologies, a lack of new ERP assignments and a revenue shift towards our lower margin sales channels.

Below is a tabular presentation of gross margin by sales channel for the three months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011:

Wholesale IT channel gross margins declined by 90 basis points for the three months ended June 30, 2012 compared to the corresponding 2011 period. This decline reflected lower margins at our integrator clients due to a lower level of ERP assignments in the 2012 period and consultant compensation increases, in excess of bill rate increases, on existing assignments at many of our staffing clients. Retail IT gross margins were down 110 basis points during the three months ended June 30, 2012 compared to 2011, due to supply-side pricing pressures and an unfavorable mix of business between direct end-user and MSP clients. Specialized healthcare gross margins improved 20 basis points in the 2012 period compared to a year earlier, largely due to the continued expansion of our higher valued service offerings.

Selling, General and Administrative (“SG&A”) Expenses:

SG&A expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2012 totaled $4.1 million or 16.0% of revenues, compared to $3.8 million or 17.3% of revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2011. The increase in SG&A expenses largely reflected investments made in our recruiting organization, particularly during the last six months. Fluctuations within SG&A expense components during the 2012 period compared to a year earlier included the following:

 

   

Sales expense was largely flat in the 2012 period compared to 2011.

 

16


Table of Contents
   

Recruiting expense was up in the 2012 period by $0.3 million due to an increase in recruiting staff, higher visa processing fees and expenditures made in connection with process improvement initiatives.

 

   

General and administrative expense in 2012 was in-line with expenses a year earlier.

Other Income / (Expense) Components:

Other Income / (Expense) for the three months ended June 30, 2012 consisted of interest expense of $17,000; and a foreign exchange loss of $16,000. For the three months ended June 30, 2011, Other Income / (Expense) consisted of interest expense of $6,000 and foreign exchange loss of $1,000. The higher interest expense in the 2012 period largely reflects the amortization of deferred financing costs related to our August 31, 2011 amended credit facility with PNC Bank. The foreign exchange loss was due to a significant decline in the Indian rupee against the U. S. Dollar during the three-months ended June 30, 2012.

Income Tax Expense:

Income tax expense for the three months ended June 30, 2012 totaled $280,000, representing an effective tax rate on pre-tax income of 37.9%, compared to $232,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2011, which represented a 37.8% effective tax rate on pre-tax income.

Results of Operations for the Six Months Ended June 30, 2012 as Compared to the Six Months Ended June 30, 2011:

Revenues:

Revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2012 totaled $49.8 million, compared to $42.0 million for the corresponding six month period in 2011. This 18% year-over-year revenue increase largely reflects a higher demand for the Company’s services and the corresponding increase in billable consultants during the 2012 period.

Revenues from our wholesale IT channel increased approximately 13% during the six month period ended June 30, 2012 compared to the corresponding 2011 period. Higher revenue levels from both staffing clients (up 31%) and integrator clients (up 2%) were driven by stronger demand for IT services. During the 2012 period, lower levels of new ERP assignments have impacted the growth of our integrator business. Retail IT channel revenues were up approximately 30% during the six months ended June 30, 2012 compared to the period one-year earlier. Most of this increase came from higher demand at many of our MSP clients. Specialized healthcare revenues increased by 30% for the six month 2012 period compared to the corresponding 2011 period. This improvement reflects an expansion of our service offerings and the geographies in which we market such services. Permanent placement / fee revenues were approximately $0.1 million below those revenues generated a year earlier.

During the six months ended June 30, 2012, we had three clients that represented more than 10% of total revenues (IBM = 12.9%; TEK Systems 10.9%, and Kaiser Permanente = 10.8%) During the six months ended June 30, 2011, we had two clients that represented more than 10% of total revenue (IBM = 15.2% and TEK Systems = 11.5%). During the 2012 period, our top ten clients represented approximately 56% of total revenues compared to 60% of total revenues in the corresponding 2011 period.

Gross Margin:

Gross profits in the first half of 2012 totaled $9.3 million, or approximately $1.0 million higher than the first half of 2011. Gross profit as a percentage of revenue declined to 18.7% in the six-month period ending June 30, 2012 from the 19.7% reported in the corresponding 2011 period. This reduction in gross margin reflected supply-side pricing pressures within certain technologies, a revenue shift towards our lower margin sales channels, and lower ERP and permanent placements revenues in the 2012 period.

Wholesale IT channel gross margins declined by 70 basis points for the six months ended June 30, 2012 compared to the corresponding 2011 period. This decline was due to lower levels of ERP assignments and consultant compensation increases, in excess of bill rate increases, on existing projects in the 2012 period. Retail IT gross margins were down 170 basis points during the six months ended June 30, 2012 compared to 2011, due to supply-side pricing pressures and an unfavorable mix of business between direct end-user and MSP clients. Specialized healthcare gross margins improved 50 basis points in the 2012 period compared to a year earlier, largely due to the continued expansion of our higher valued service offerings.

Selling, General and Administrative (“SG&A”) Expenses:

SG&A expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2012 totaled $7.9 million or 15.9% of revenues, compared to $7.6 million or 18.1% of revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2011. The increase in SG&A expenses largely reflected investments made in our recruiting organization, particularly during the last six months. Fluctuations within SG&A expense components during the 2012 period compared to a year earlier included the following:

 

   

Sales expense was down $0.1 million in the 2012 period compared to 2011 due to lower sales leadership expenses.

 

   

Recruiting expense was up in the 2012 period by $0.4 million due to an increase in recruiting staff, higher visa processing fees and expenditures made in connection with process improvement initiatives.

 

   

General and administrative expense in 2012 was in-line with expenses incurred a year earlier. Both the 2012 and 2011 periods included approximately $0.1 million of severance expense related to sales and recruitment leadership changes.

Other Income / (Expense) Components:

Other Income / (Expense) for the six months ended June 30, 2012 consisted of interest expense of $ 33,000; and a foreign exchange loss of $23,000. For the six months ended June 30, 2011, Other Income / (Expense) consisted of interest expense of $12,000 and foreign exchange loss of $2,000. The higher interest expense in the 2012 period largely reflects the amortization of deferred financing costs related to our August 31, 2011 amended credit facility with PNC Bank. The foreign exchange loss reflects the significant decline in the Indian rupee against the U. S. Dollar during the six-months ended June 30, 2012.

Income Tax Expense:

Income tax expense for the six months ended June 30, 2012 totaled $501,000, representing an effective tax rate on pre-tax income of 38.2%, compared to $254,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2011, which represented a 37.7% effective tax rate on pre-tax income.

Liquidity and Capital Resources:

Financial Conditions and Liquidity:

At June 30, 2012, we had $1.7 million of cash and equivalents on hand. In addition to our cash balances, we have access to a credit facility with PNC Bank, N.A. with $19 million of maximum availability, under which our borrowing base was $15.3 million as of June 30, 2012.

Historically, we have funded our business needs with cash generated from operating activities. Controlling our operating working capital levels by closely managing our accounts receivable balance is an important element of cash generation. At June 30, 2012, our accounts receivable “days sales outstanding” (“DSO’s”) measurement was 50-days, which was in-line with our DSO’s of a year ago. We expect cash provided by operating activities, cash balances on hand and access to capital under our existing credit facility to be adequate to fund our business needs during the balance of 2012.

Cash flows used in operating activities:

Cash used in operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2012 totaled $1.5 million compared to $0.8 million during the six months ended June 30, 2011. Elements of cash flows during the 2012 period were net income of $0.8 million, non-cash charges of $0.2 million and an offsetting increase in operating working capital levels of $2.5 million. During the six months ended June 30, 2011, elements of cash flows included net income of $0.4 million, non-cash charges of $0.1 million and an offsetting increase in operating working capital levels of $1.3 million. The increases in operating working capital levels in both periods were in support of our revenue growth.

Cash flows used in investing activities:

Cash used in investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2012 totaled $108,000 compared to $72,000 for the six months ended a year earlier. In both 2012 and 2011, capital expenditures accounted for our entire cash needs.

Cash flows used in financing activities:

Cash used in financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2012 totaled $2.4 million and largely related to common shares purchased under the Company’s modified “Dutch Auction” tender offer in March 2012. In the 2011 period, cash used in financing activities totaled $95,000 and related to common shares purchased under the Company’s share repurchase program.

Contractual Obligations and Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements:

The Company rents certain office space and equipment under non-cancelable leases which provides for future minimum rental payments. Total lease commitments have not materially changed from the amounts disclosed in the Company’s 2011 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Inflation:

We do not believe that inflation had a significant impact on our results of operations for the periods presented. On an ongoing basis, we attempt to minimize any effects of inflation on our operating results by controlling operating costs and, whenever possible, seeking to insure that billing rates are adjusted periodically to reflect increases in costs due to inflation.

Seasonality:

Our operations are generally not affected by seasonal fluctuations. However, our consultants’ billable hours are affected by national holidays and vacation policies. Accordingly, we generally have lower utilization rates and higher benefit costs during the fourth quarter.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements:

The Company is of the opinion that any pending accounting pronouncements, either in the adoption phase or not yet required to be adopted, will not have a significant impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

 

ITEM 3: QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Cash and cash equivalents are defined as cash and highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less when purchased. Cash equivalents are stated at cost, which approximates market value.

Our cash flows and earnings are subject to fluctuations due to exchange rate variations. Foreign currency risk exists by the nature of our Indian-based recruitment centers. We attempt to limit our exposure to currency exchange fluctuations in the Indian Rupee (“Rupee”) via the purchase of forward currency exchange contracts. These forward contracts have been designated as cash flow hedging instruments and are used to mitigate overall risk by essentially creating offsetting currency exposures. The following table presents information related to foreign currency forward contracts held by the Company as of June 30, 2012:
