NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
SEPTEMBER 30, 2013 AND 2012
(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.
Recent Developments
In August 2013, the Company sold its healthcare staffing business to Accountable Healthcare Staffing, Inc., as more fully described in Note 2 Discontinued Operations of these Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. The Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Cash Flows for all periods presented have been recast to reflect the healthcare staffing business as discontinued operations.
On October 30, 2013, the Company announced that its Board of Directors approved a five-for-four (25 percent) stock split and declared a special cash dividend of $0.50 per post-split share of common stock.

Description of Business
We are a provider of IT 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; consumer products; education; financial services; government; healthcare; manufacturing; retail; technology; telecommunications; transportation; and utilities.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying 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 Companys audited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes for the year ended December 31, 2012, included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 22, 2013. Additionally, our operating results for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2013 are not necessarily indicative of the results that can be expected for the year ending December 31, 2013 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 ASC Topic 323 The Equity Method of Accounting for Investments in Common Stock, when it is able to exercise significant management influence over the entitys operations, which generally occurs when Mastech has an ownership interest of between 20% and 50% in an entity. The cost method of accounting is used when the Company does not exercise significant management influence, generally when Mastech has an ownership interest of less than 20%.

Other than discontinued operations discussed below, there were no material changes to these critical accounting policies during the nine months ended September 30, 2013.
Discontinued Operations: In August 2013, the Company sold its healthcare staffing business to Accountable Staffing Healthcare, Inc. The healthcare staffing business meets the criteria for being reported as a discontinued operation. Accordingly, the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Cash Flows for all periods presented have been recast to reflect the presentation of discontinued operations. The carrying value of assets and liabilities of discontinued operations that have been retained by the Company are disclosed below in Note 2 Discontinued Operations in these Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. These assets, net of liabilities, are expected to be monetized by the Company with the next 12-month period. Unless otherwise indicated, all disclosures and amounts in these Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements relate to the Companys continuing operations.

8. | Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities |
Commencing 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 operations. 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 Statements 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 Statements 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 Statements of Operations as foreign exchange gains/(losses).
As of September 30, 2013, the Companys outstanding contracts mature in fifteen monthly installments of 10 million rupees per month through December 2014, meet the qualifying criteria for hedge accounting and have been deemed to be effective. Accordingly, the Company has recorded other comprehensive pretax (losses) of ($62,000) as of September 30, 2013.

9. | Fair Value Measurements |
The Company has adopted the provisions of ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (ASC 820) related to certain financial and nonfinancial assets and liabilities. ASC 820 establishes the authoritative definition of fair value; sets out a framework for measuring fair value; and expands the required disclosures about fair value measurements. The valuation techniques required by ASC 820 are based on observable and unobservable inputs using the following three-tier hierarchy:
| Level 1 Inputs are observable quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets and liabilities. |
13
Table of Contents
| 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 September 30, 2013, the Company carried the following financial assets and (liabilities) at fair value measured on a recurring basis (in thousands):

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, -0- and 2,195 shares were purchased under this program.
11. | Revenue Concentration |
For the three months ended September 30, 2013, the Company had one client that exceeded 10% of total revenue (Accenture = 12.6%). For the three months ended September 30, 2012, the Company had three clients that exceeded 10% of total revenue (TEK Systems = 12.3%, Kaiser Permanente = 11.6%, and IBM = 11.5%,). For the nine months ended September 30, 2013, the Company had one client that exceeded 10% of total revenue (Accenture = 11.1%). For the nine months ended September 30, 2012, the Company had four clients that exceeded 10% of total revenue (IBM = 13.4%, TEK Systems = 12.2%, Kaiser Permanente = 12.0%, and Accenture = 10.1%).
The Companys top ten clients represented approximately 56% and 60% of total revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, the Companys top ten clients represented approximately 57% and 61% of total revenues, respectively.
12. | Earnings Per Share |
The computation of basic earnings per share (EPS) is based on the Companys 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 September 30, 2013 and 2012, the computation of diluted earnings per share does not include 0 and 50,000 stock options, respectively, as the effect of their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive. For the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, 0 and 50,000 stock options, respectively, were not included in the computation of earnings per share.
13. | Severance Charges |
The Company incurred severance costs of $0 and $120,000 during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, related to a change in executive leadership. These costs are included as selling, general and administrative expense in the Companys Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

15. | Recently Issued Accounting Standards |
In July 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-11 Income Taxes Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carry forward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carry forward Exists. An unrecognized tax benefit, or a portion of an unrecognized tax benefit, should be presented in the financial statements as a reduction to a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward, to the extent a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward is not available at the reporting date under the tax law of the applicable jurisdiction to settle any additional income taxes that would result from the disallowance of a tax position or the tax law of the applicable jurisdiction does not require the entity to use, and the entity does not intend to use, the deferred tax asset for such purpose, the unrecognized tax benefit should be presented in the financial statements as a liability and should not be combined with deferred tax assets. The assessment of whether a deferred tax asset is available is based on the unrecognized tax benefit and deferred tax asset that exist at the reporting date and should be made presuming disallowance of the tax position at the reporting date. For public entities, the amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2013. The amendments should be applied prospectively to all unrecognized tax benefits that exist at the effective date. Early adoption is permitted and retrospective application is permitted. The Company does not expect adoption of this ASU to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

Business Overview:
We are a domestic provider of IT 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.
With the sale of our healthcare staffing business in August 2013, the Company has one operating segment. We do however track and evaluates our revenues and gross profits by three distinct sales channels: wholesale IT; retail IT; 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). Permanent placement / fee revenues are incidental revenues derived as by-product opportunities of conducting our core contract staffing business.
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 2012, activity levels continued to trend up in most technologies and sales channels. During the nine months of 2013, activity levels have remained solid.
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. This trend in our business mix has impacted overall gross margins during the past several years, and if this trend continues, will likely impact future gross margins as well. Within our retail sales channel, many larger users of IT staffing services are employing MSPs to manage their contractor spending in an effort to drive down overall costs. This trend towards utilizing the MSP model has resulted in lower gross margins in the retail IT channel over the past several years and it is likely that our gross margins will be pressured in future periods should this trend continue.
Results of Continuing Operations for the Three Months Ended September 30, 2013 as Compared to the Three Months Ended September 30, 2012:
Revenues:
Revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2013 totaled $28.3 million, compared to $22.8 million for the corresponding three month period in 2012. This 24% year-over-year revenue increase largely reflected a higher demand for our services and the corresponding increase in IT billable consultants during the 2013 period. Billable IT headcount at September 30, 2013 totaled 734 consultants compared to 633 consultants, a year earlier. For the three-month period ended September 30, 2013 our billable IT headcount increased by 18 consultants or an increase of approximately 3%.
Below is a tabular presentation of revenues by sales channel for the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012:

Revenues from our wholesale IT channel increased approximately 37% during the three month period ended September 30, 2013 compared to the corresponding 2012 period. Higher revenue levels from both staffing clients (up 26%) and integrator clients (up 48%) were driven by stronger demand for IT services. Retail IT channel revenues were down approximately 8% during the three months ended September 30, 2013 compared to the period one-year earlier. This channels decline largely reflected lower revenues from our end-user clients. Permanent placement / fee revenues were approximately $0.1 million, which was in-line with fee revenues generated a year earlier.
During the three months ended September 30, 2013, we had one client that represented more than 10% of total revenues (Accenture = 12.6%). During the three months ended September 30, 2012, we had three clients that represented more than 10% of total revenue (TEK Systems = 12.3%; Kaiser Permanente = 11.6%; and IBM = 11.5%). During the 2013 period, our top ten clients represented approximately 56% of total revenues compared to 60% of total revenues in the corresponding 2012 period.
Gross Margin:
Gross profits in the third quarter of 2013 totaled $5.3 million, or approximately $1.0 million higher than the third quarter of 2012. Gross profit as a percentage of revenue was 18.9% in the three-month period ending September 30, 2013, which was slightly lower than the 19.2% achieved during the three month period ending September 30, 2012. The gross margin decline from a year earlier largely reflected a higher percentage of revenues from our lower margin IT wholesale channel.

Wholesale IT channel gross margins declined by 60 basis points for the three months ended September 30, 2013 compared to the corresponding 2012 period. This decline largely reflected higher bench costs and lower margins at our integrator clients as consultant compensation increases on existing assignments out-paced bill rate increases during the quarter. Retail IT gross margins were up 140 basis points during the three months ended September 30, 2013 compared to 2012, as margins on new MSP assignments strengthened during the first nine months of 2013.

SG&A expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2013 totaled $3.7 million or 12.9% of revenues, compared to $3.5 million or 15.4% of revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2012. Fluctuations within SG&A expense components during the 2013 period compared to a year earlier included the following:
| Sales expense was up by $0.1 million in the 2013 period compared to 2012 due to an increase in sales staff. |
| Recruiting expense was up in the 2013 period by $0.1 million due to an increase in recruiting staff and slightly higher facility costs. |
| General and administrative expense in 2013 was in-line with expenses a year earlier. |

Other Income / (Expense) Components:
Other Income / (Expense) for the three months ended September 30, 2013 consisted of interest expense of $23,000 and foreign exchange losses of $42,000. For the three months ended September 30, 2012, Other Income / (Expense) consisted of interest expense of $17,000, foreign exchange gains of $52,000. The higher interest expense in the 2013 period largely reflects higher outstanding borrowings in the 2013 compared to no borrowings in the 2012 period. The foreign exchange gains and losses were due to fluctuations in the Indian Rupee against the U.S. Dollar. The foreign exchange losses in the 2013 period reflected a very volatile Indian rupee, which weakened significantly against the U.S. Dollar during the three-months ended September 30, 2013.
Income Tax Expense:
Income tax expense for the three months ended September 30, 2013 totaled $612,000 representing an effective tax rate on pre-tax income of 38.0%, compared to $335,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2012, which represented a 37.4%, effective tax rate on pre-tax income. The slight increase in our effective tax rate was largely due to a higher aggregate state income tax rate.
Results of Discontinued Operations for the Three Months Ended September 30, 2013 as Compared to the Three Months Ended September 30, 2012:
Net income from discontinued operations for the three months ended September 30, 2013 totaled $481,000, compared to $40,000 for the corresponding three month period in 2012. The 2013 period included a net gain of $442,000 related to the sale of the healthcare staffing business.
Results of Continuing Operations for the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2013 as Compared to the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2012:
Revenues:
Revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 totaled $78.4 million, compared to $67.3 million for the corresponding nine month period in 2012. This 17% year-over-year revenue increase largely reflects a higher demand for our services and the corresponding increase in billable consultants during the 2013 period.
Below is a tabular presentation of revenues by sales channel for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012:

Revenues from our wholesale IT channel increased approximately 27% during the nine month period ended September 30, 2013 compared to the corresponding 2012 period. Higher revenue levels from both staffing clients (up 22%) and integrator clients (up 32%) were driven by stronger demand for IT services. Retail IT channel revenues were down approximately 8% during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 compared to the period a year earlier. The decline reflected lower revenues from end user clients, partially offset by a modest revenue increase from our MSP clients. Permanent placement / fee revenues were approximately $0.1 million below those revenues generated a year earlier.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, we had one client that represented more than 10% of total revenues (Accenture = 11.1%). During the nine months ended September 30, 2012, we had four clients that represented more than 10% of total revenue (IBM = 13.4%; TEK Systems = 12.2%; Kaiser Permanente = 12.0%; and Accenture = 10.1%). During the 2013 period, our top ten clients represented approximately 57% of total revenues compared to 61% of total revenues in the corresponding 2012 period.
Gross Margin:
Gross profits in the first nine months of 2013 totaled $14.7 million, or approximately $2.0 million higher than during the first nine months of 2012. Gross profit as a percentage of revenue declined slightly to 18.7% in the nine month period

ending September 30, 2013 from the 18.8% reported in the corresponding 2012 period. This gross margin decline from a year earlier was largely due to lower permanent placements revenues in the 2013 period.

Wholesale IT channel gross margins declined by 20 basis points for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 compared to the corresponding 2012 period. This decline was largely due to lower margins at our integrator clients as consultant compensation increases on existing assignments out-paced bill rate increases during the third quarter of 2013. Retail IT gross margins were up 100 basis points during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 compared to 2012, as margins on new MSP assignments strengthened during the first nine months of 2013.
Selling, General and Administrative (SG&A) Expenses:
SG&A expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 totaled $10.9 million or 13.9% of revenues, compared to $10.5 million or 15.7% of revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2012. Fluctuations within SG&A expense components during the 2013 period compared to a year earlier included the following:
| Sales expense was up $0.1 million in the 2013 period compared to 2012, due to sales staff increases, partially offset by lower sales leadership expenses. |
| Recruiting expense was up in the 2013 period by $0.3 million due to an increase in offshore recruiting staff, higher visa processing fees and higher facility costs. |
| General and administrative expense in 2013 was in-line with expenses incurred a year earlier as higher stock-based compensation expense was essentially offset by lower severance expenses in the 2013 period. |
Other Income / (Expense) Components:
Other Income / (Expense) for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 consisted of interest expense of $ 77,000; and foreign exchange gains of $4,000. For the nine months ended September 30, 2012, Other Income / (Expense) consisted of interest expense of $50,000 and foreign exchange gains of $29,000. The higher interest expense in the 2013 period reflects higher outstanding borrowings in the 2013 period. The foreign exchange gains were due to fluctuations in the Indian Rupee against the U.S. Dollar.
Income Tax Expense:
Income tax expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 totaled $1.4 million, representing an effective tax rate on pre-tax income of 37.7%, compared to $793,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2012, which represented a 37.6% effective tax rate on pre-tax income.

Results of Discontinued Operations for the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2013 as Compared to the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2012:
Net income from discontinued operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 totaled $536,000, compared to $97,000 for the corresponding nine month period of 2012. The 2013 period included a net gain of $442,000 related to the sale of the healthcare staffing business.
Liquidity and Capital Resources:
Financial Conditions and Liquidity:
At September 30, 2013, we had $1.6 million of cash and equivalents on hand, no outstanding debt and over $15 million of borrowing capacity under our existing credit facility.
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 September 30, 2013, our accounts receivable days sales outstanding (DSOs) measurement improved to 50-days compared to 52-days a quarter ago. At September 30, 2012, DSOs were 51-days. 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 over the next 12-months.
Cash flows provided by operating activities:
Cash provided by operating activities from continuing operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 totaled $1.6 million compared to $0.1 million of cash provided during the corresponding period last year. Elements of cash flows during the 2013 period were net income of $2.3 million, non-cash charges of $0.4 million and an offsetting increase in operating working capital levels of $1.1 million. During the nine months ended September 30, 2012, elements of cash flows from continuing operations included net income of $1.3 million, non-cash charges of $0.3 million and an offsetting increase in operating working capital levels of $1.5 million. The increases in operating working capital in both periods reflected higher accounts receivable balances in support of our revenue growth.
Cash provided by operating activities from discontinued operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 totaled $1.0 million compared to $0.1 million of cash used in operating activities from discontinued operations for the corresponding period in 2012. The increase in the 2013 period reflects the wind down of operating working capital related to the sale of our healthcare staffing business.
Cash flows provided by (used in) investing activities:
Cash provided by investing activities from discontinued operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 totaled $1.0 million and related to proceeds received from the sale of our healthcare staffing business.
Cash used in investing activities from continuing operations for both the nine month periods ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 totaled approximately $0.1 million and related largely to capital expenditures.
Cash flows used in financing activities:
Cash used in financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 totaled $2.6 million and largely related to the repayment of short-term borrowings. Cash used in financing activities for the corresponding 2012 period totaled $2.4 million and largely related to common share repurchases under the Companys modified Dutch Auction Tender Offer.
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 Companys 2012 Annual Report on Form 10-K. We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.
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. Additionally, assignment completions tend to be higher near the end of the calendar year, which largely impacts our revenue and gross profit performance during the subsequent quarter.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements:
In July 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-11 Income Taxes Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carry forward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carry forward Exists. An unrecognized tax benefit, or a portion of an unrecognized tax benefit, should be presented in the financial statements as a reduction to a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward, to the extent a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward is not available at the reporting date under the tax law of the applicable jurisdiction to settle any additional income taxes that would result from the disallowance of a tax position or the tax law of the applicable jurisdiction does not require the entity to use, and the entity does not intend to use, the deferred tax asset for such purpose, the unrecognized tax benefit should be presented in the financial statements as a liability and should not be combined with deferred tax assets. The assessment of whether a deferred tax asset is available is based on the unrecognized tax benefit and deferred tax asset that exist at the reporting date and should be made presuming disallowance of the tax position at the reporting date. For public entities, the amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2013. The amendments should be applied prospectively to all unrecognized tax benefits that exist at the effective date. Early adoption is permitted and retrospective application is permitted. The Company does not expect adoption of this ASU to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
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 September 30, 2013:
Currency (in thousands) | Amount (in Rupees) | Amount (in USD) | ||||||
Currency Forward Contracts |
INR | 150,000 | $ | 2,320 |
Effect of Hypothetical Currency Rate Fluctuations
As of September 30, 2013, the potential gain or loss in the fair value of the Companys outstanding foreign currency forward contracts assuming hypothetical 10%, 5%, 2% and 1% fluctuations in currency rates would be as follows (amounts in thousands):
