Item 1. Description of Business.





Business Overview




We provide publishing and related information technology (“IT”) services, as well as knowledge process outsourcing (“KPO”) services, that help leading media, publishing and information services companies create, manage and distribute their products. We also provide our services to organizations in other information-intensive industries, such as technology, manufacturing, aerospace, defense, government, law and intelligence.




We help our clients address market opportunities, respond to competitive challenges, lower costs, realize productivity gains and improve operations, thereby enabling them to compete more effectively in demanding global markets.




Our publishing services include digitization, conversion, composition, data modeling and XML encoding.  Our KPO services include research and analysis, authoring, copy-editing, abstracting, indexing and other content creation activities. We often combine publishing services and KPO services within a single client engagement, providing an end-to-end content supply chain solution.





Our staffs of IT systems professionals design, implements, integrates and deploy systems and technologies used to improve the efficiency of authoring, managing and distributing content.





We use a distributed global resource model. Our onshore workforce (consisting of consultants, information architects, solution architects, and program managers) works from our North American and European offices, as well as from client sites. Our distributed global workforce (consisting of encoders, graphic artists, project managers, programmers, data architects performing publishing services, and advanced degree holders such as physicians, attorneys, MBAs and engineers who perform our KPO services) deliver those services from our ten offshore facilities in India, the Philippines, Sri Lanka and Israel.


1





Services that are ongoing in nature generate what we regard as recurring revenues. Services that terminate upon completion of a defined task generate what we regard as project, or non-recurring, revenues. Approximately 72% of our revenues were recurring in the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010 as compared to 65% in the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009 and 73% in the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008.





Our business is organized and managed around three vectors: a vertical industry focus, a horizontal service/process focus, and a focus on supportive operations.





Our vertically-aligned groups understand our clients’ businesses and strategic initiatives and are able to help them meet their goals. With respect to media, publishing and information services, for example, we have continued to hire experts out of that sector to establish solutions and services tailored to companies in that sector. They work with many of the world’s leading media, publishing and information services companies, dealing with challenges involving new product creation, product maintenance, digitization, content management and content creation.





Our service/process-aligned groups are comprised of engineering and delivery personnel responsible for creating the most efficient and cost-effective custom workflows. These workflows integrate proprietary and third-party technologies, while harnessing the benefits of a globally distributed workforce. They are responsible for executing our client engagements in accordance with our service-level agreements and ensuring client satisfaction.





Our support groups are responsible for managing a diverse group of enabling functions, including human resources and recruiting, global technology infrastructure and physical infrastructure and facilities.





Our Opportunity





Media, publishing and information services companies, as well as companies in other content-intensive sectors, are continually seeking effective ways to address market opportunities and respond to competitive conditions. They are seeking to adapt to new technologies, reduce content costs, accelerate delivery times, and improve quality. They view outsourcing, technology and process re-engineering as crucial strategies for accomplishing these objectives.





The trend toward outsourcing has accelerated in recent years. Businesses are outsourcing their internal processes – often to offshore providers – to improve productivity and manage costs. By leveraging offshore talent, companies may boost profitability, productivity, quality levels, business value and performance. As outsourcing to offshore providers has gained acceptance, a growing number of organizations have become more confident in making the decision to outsource business operations to Asia and other high-value labor markets. Moreover, the notion of what can be outsourced and the benefits that can be achieved via outsourcing continue to expand.
Client demands are evolving toward higher value-added and more complex services including research and analysis, editorial tasks and other knowledge-based functions. This trend is driven by competitive pressures as well as by advances in technology.





The KPO market is relatively young and is expected to continue expanding.  An increasing number of companies are outsourcing high-end knowledge work as they seek to gain cost-savings and operational efficiencies and access the highly talented workforce in the Philippines, India and other countries.  Universities in those countries are graduating thousands of qualified lawyers, doctors and scientists each year. As technology makes it possible to move vast amounts of data across the globe at relatively low cost, it is now quite cost effective for companies to tap into this labor pool.





With respect to information and content processes, there is growing awareness that labor cost reduction is only part of the solution. Advances in technologies for creating, managing, finding, sharing and delivering content (including text analytics, semantic technologies and search technologies) have enabled what were previously manual tasks to become either fully or partially automated.


2




As a result, content-driven companies, like media, publishing and information services companies, are increasingly relying on service providers, such as Innodata Isogen, to provide both outsourcing and related IT services.





To meet this demand, we have assembled dedicated teams of scientists, doctors, lawyers and other subject matter experts, armed with an in-depth understanding of complex technical material. For increasing numbers of clients, we are becoming an extended part of their work teams, helping them enhance and create content, write technical documentation and deliverresearch and analysis services utilizing global resources as well as advanced technologies.





Our Services





We believe that we have developed an effective set of core competencies that enable us to help information-intensive companies reduce their operating costs, realize benefits of scale and flexible cost structures and achieve significant process improvements. Our business model combines a global offshore staff, on-site staff and technologists who integrate internally-developed and best-in-class third party products to continually improve the efficiency of our processes.





We provide a broad and expanding range of publishing services, knowledge process outsourcing services and engineering and consulting services.





Publishing Services –Our publishing services include activities such as digitization, conversion, composition, data modeling and XML encoding.  Typically, we bill clients for services based upon the units of information we produce and deliver.





We are helping customers take advantage of the fast-growing eBook market by converting books into eBook-ready formats. One of our customers, for example, is a global eBook retailer that offers a catalog of over two million books on nearly any consumer device including dedicated readers, laptops, Blackberries, iPads, iPhones and other emerging smart devices. We work with the leading manufacturers of reading devices in the eBook market as well as manufacturers in the emerging category of tablet computers.





We also provide high volume, complex editorial services including authoring original material for publishers. For a leading non-fiction media company, we write new articles and provide related editorial services for one of their flagship properties, a leading educational website that attracts over 15 million unique visitors per month.




Knowledge Processing Outsourcing (KPO) Services – Our KPO services specifically target processes that demand advanced information analysis and interpretation, as well as judgment and decision-making. For information and media companies, these services include content creation and enhancement, analytics, taxonomy and controlled vocabulary development, hyperlinking, indexing, abstracting, technical writing and editing, copy-editing and general editorial services, including the provision of synopses and annotations.  These services cover a wide spectrum of disciplines, including medicine, law,
engineering, management, finance, science and the humanities.  To provide these services, we have organized knowledge teams that consist of educated and highly trained people with expertise in relevant subjects. For example, we helped one of our clients develop a new web-based information service that synthesizes sophisticated geo-spatial mapping with geological and other scientific data to provide a new research tool to the energy exploration sector. We typically price our knowledge services based on the quantity delivered or resources utilized.





In many of our engagements, we perform end-to-end services that combine publishing and KPO services, using advanced technologies, to provide fully outsourced content supply chain solutions. For one customer, a leading information services company, we are preparing abstracts of scientific journal articles, tens of thousands per week, along with various indexing and metadata creation that enable our customer to offer an online scholarly research platform to the worldwide scientific and academic library community.


3


We are also using our KPO delivery capabilities that we use to support information companies as a springboard to enable us to enter new markets and provide new services.  For example, we are using our legal subject matter experts who deliver KPO services to media, publishing and information services companies to also provide select KPO services - such as research and document review - to corporate law offices and law firms.





In 2007, we launched a new KPO business area to provide technical communications services to clients. This unit started as a technical writing service and has expanded to include technical editing, e-learning, mobile and micro learning, translation and marketing communication services. The team has expanded significantly since its inception to include project managers, writers and editors who work from multiple locations across China, the Philippines, Sri Lanka, India, Israel and the United States.





Our team develops technical content for some of the most complex products in the high-tech market today. As a partner to one of the world’s largest Internet equipment manufacturers, we create high quality documentation and product communication materials for their global marketplace. We achieve superior quality and economy through a global approach to development from the US, India, Israel, and the Philippines. We have helped increase customer satisfaction ratings of our client's products while significantly reducing their overall costs.





In another instance, we are providing technical writing services to a leading global technology manufacturer. By locating teams in India where this client manufactures equipment, and our production centers in other Asian locales, we have helped the company generate quality documentation – ensuring that its customers use its products effectively – while also reducing our client’s overall costs.





We are also providing round-the-clock writing, editing, e-learning and IT service desk troubleshooting documentation for one of the biggest video game companies in the world using our resources in the US, Israel, Philippines and India.





Technology Services— Our Technology Services area focuses on content technologies and related workflow requirements for publishers. We have built, implemented and supported editorial and production systems, portals, websites, mobile applications and new product platforms in collaboration with our clients. We have a special focus on XML and related technologies, and a number of our engineering staff has played leadership roles in the development of such structured information standards.





When working for clients, our developers provide IT services, including systems integration, custom application development, applications maintenance, tool evaluation and training. We use a hybrid onshore/offshore development approach that balances development costs with critical onsite project management requirements.





For one customer, a leading global legal publisher, we supported development of a mobile application strategy for delivering their content onto devices such as the iPad, Android and Windows Mobile units. We recommended an ecosystem to support the delivery of live content to their eReader application, and developed a content back end and related APIs used by devices to access content.





Our technology engineering teams also support our publishing services and KPO services by building the workflow and tools that we utilize internally for projects that we perform for clients on an outsourced basis. Their role in outsourced projects is to improve efficiency and quality.  They continually design and develop productivity tools to automate manual processes and improve the consistency and quality of our work product. These tools include categorization engines that utilize pattern recognition algorithms based on comprehensive rule sets and related heuristics, data extraction tools that automatically retrieve specific types of information from
large data sources, and workflow systems that enable various tasks and activities to be performed across our multiple facilities.


4


Consulting Services—In addition to our publishing, KPO and IT services, our consulting practice works with clients at a strategic business and technology level to address new challenges and optimize their business processes. The practice has primary services that span content supply chain optimization, technology architecture and strategy, global sourcing, product and market strategy and development, and the deployment of content technologies.





For the United States Government Printing Office (GPO), for example, one of the largest publishers in the world in terms of volume and complexity, we are assisting with a redesign and replacement of its core composition and publishing system.





For another client, a multi-national information services company, our consulting practice is engaged in a long term, transformative program of work. Our consultants work alongside the client’s teams, engaged in designing new content architectures, and implementing new content technologies, as it re-engineers from product-centric to content-centric business processes.





Clients





Three clients each generated more than 10% of our revenues in the fiscal year ended 2010. Revenues from Bloomberg L.P. (“BLP”) were approximately $6.6 million, or 11% of total revenues; revenues from Reed Elsevier affiliated companies (the “RE Clients”) were approximately $10.6 million or 17% of total revenues; and revenues from Wolters Kluwer affiliated companies (the “WK Clients”) were approximately $6.6 million or 11% of total revenues.  No other client generated more than 10% of our revenues in 2010. These three clients together generated approximately 39%, 51% and 55% of our total revenues in the fiscal years ended
December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively. Revenues from clients located in foreign countries (principally in Europe) accounted for 33%, 21% and 21% of our total revenues for each of these respective fiscal years.





We have long-standing relationships with many of our clients, and have provided services to the clients mentioned in the preceding paragraph for over ten years. Many of our clients are recurring clients, meaning that they have continued to provide additional projects to us after their initial engagement. Our track record of delivering high-quality services helps us to solidify client relationships and gain increased business from our existing clients. As a result, our history of client retention enables us to derive a significant proportion of revenue from repeat clients.





Our contractual arrangements with BLP during calendar year 2010 consisted of a master services agreement (“MSA”) and separately agreed to statements of work (“SOWs”) for specific services. The MSA automatically renews on an annual basis unless terminated by either party on 60 days’ prior notice. BLP may terminate the MSA on 30 days’ notice, and it may terminate the SOWs on notice periods ranging from 30 days to 90 days. The MSA and SOWs may also be terminated by either BLP or the Company on notice periods of 30 days or less for “cause,” or on insolvency related events or changes of control of the other party. The MSA
also contains confidentiality, limitation of liability, indemnification and other standard provisions.





Our contractual arrangements with the RE Clients during 2010 consisted of multiple MSAs and separately agreed to SOWs for specific services. Two of the MSAs have indefinite terms, a third has a term that ends in February 2014, and the fourth has a term that ends on the later of September 2015 and the expiration date of all SOWs issued under that MSA. RE Clients may terminate the MSAs on notice periods ranging from zero to six months, and they may terminate their SOWs on notice periods of up to 180 days. They may also terminate certain of the MSAs and SOWs on notice periods of three months or less for “cause” and for insolvency related events, and on
changes of control, force majeure and the imposition of certain price increases by the Company that are not acceptable to them. The Company may terminate two of the MSAs on notice periods of 180 days, and a third on a notice period of three months, and it may also terminate certain MSAs and SOWs for “cause”, insolvency related events affecting the RE Clients, and other defined events. The MSAs contain confidentiality, limitation of liability, indemnification and other standard provisions.

Our contractual arrangements with the WK Clients during calendar year 2010 consisted of multiple MSAs and separately agreed to SOWs for specific services. Three MSAs have indefinite terms, two MSAs continue in effect until the later of their expiration date and the completion of all services performed pursuant to such MSA, and two MSAs have terms that expire, respectively, in December 2011 and July 2013. WK Clients may terminate certain MSAs on notice periods ranging from three months to 30 days, and they may terminate certain individual SOWs on notice periods ranging from 10 days to three months. WK Clients may also terminate certain of the MSAs and SOWs on notice
periods of 60 days or less for “cause” and for insolvency related events, and on changes of control, force majeure and the imposition of certain price increases by the Company that are not acceptable to them. The Company may terminate certain of the MSAs on notice periods of three months, and it may also terminate certain MSAs and SOWs for “cause”, insolvency related events affecting the WK Clients, and other defined events. The MSAs contain confidentiality, limitation of liability, indemnification and other standard provisions.





Our agreements with our other clients are in many cases terminable on 30 to 90 days' notice. A substantial portion of the services we provide to our clients is subject solely to their requirements.





Competitive Strengths





Our vertical expertise.   We are primarily focused on the media, publishing and information services vertical market. We maintain a staff of highly skilled experts to provide a range of end-to-end business solutions. In addition, we utilize our underlying domain experts in law, medicine, finance and engineering to provide additional value-added KPO services directly to these sectors.





Our global delivery model.   We have operations in seven countries in North America, Europe and Asia. We provide services to our clients through a comprehensive global delivery model that integrates both local and global resources to obtain the best economic results. For example, we create high-end website content using teams from India, the Philippines and Israel that together constitute a global workflow. We use a similar approach in providing technical writing services to a large telecommunications company, virtually joining resources from the United States, the Philippines and China. Our offshore outsourcing centers are ISO 9001:2000 certified
and our engineering and IT facility in Noida, India meets ISO/IEC 27001:2005specifications.





Our proven track record and reputation.   By consistently providing high-quality services, we have achieved a track record of project successes. This track record is embodied by our reputation as a leader in the KPO marketplace, especially within the media, publishing and information services sector. This reputation or brand provides an assurance of expertise, quality execution and risk mitigation.





Our focus on technology and engineering.   Rather than simply relying on labor cost arbitrage to create value for clients, our engineering team optimizes efficiency by integrating proprietary and best-in-class third party tools into our workflows. In addition, our engineering team provides work directly to our clients, helping them achieve improved efficiencies within their own operations.





Our long-term relationships with clients.   We have long-term relationships with many of our clients, who frequently retain us for additional projects after a successful initial engagement. We believe there are significant opportunities for additional growth with our existing clients, and we seek to expand these relationships by increasing the depth and breadth of the services we provide. This strategy allows us to use our in-depth client-specific knowledge to provide more fully integrated KPO services and develop closer relationships with those clients.





Our ability to scale.   We have demonstrated the ability to expand our teams and facilities to meet the needs of our clients. By virtue of the significant numbers of professional staff working on projects, we are able to build teams for new engagements quickly. We have also demonstrated the ability to hire and train people quickly.


6




Our internal infrastructure.   We utilize established facilities, technology and communications infrastructure to support our business model.  We own and operate some of the most advanced content production facilities in the world, which are linked by multi-redundant data connections. Our Wide Area Network – along with our Local Area Networks, Storage Area Networks and data centers – is configured with full redundancy, often with more than one backup to ensure 24x7 availability.  Our infrastructure is built to accommodate advanced tools, processes and technologies that support our content and technical experts.





Our focus on quality.   We believe strongly in quality throughout our organization. We maintain independent quality assurance capabilities in all geographies where we operate.  Our quality teams are compliant and certified to the ISO 9000:2000 quality management system standards.




Sales and Marketing





We market and sell our services directly through our professional staff, senior management and direct sales personnel operating out of our corporate headquarters in Hackensack, New Jersey, just outside New York City and our Dallas, Texas office. We have five executive-level business development and marketing professionals, and during 2010, we maintained approximately fourteen full-time sales and marketing personnel. We also deploy solutions architects, technical support experts and consultants who support the development of new clients and new client engagements. These resources work within teams (both permanent and ad hoc) that provide support to
clients.





Our sales professionals identify and qualify prospects, securing direct personal access to decision makers at existing and prospective clients. They facilitate interactions between client personnel and our service teams to better define ways in which we can assist clients with their goals. For each prospective client engagement, we assemble a team of our senior employees drawn from various disciplines within our Company. The team members assume assigned roles in a formalized process, using their combined knowledge and experience to understand the client’s goals and collaborate with the client on a solution.





Sales activities include the design and generation of presentations and proposals, account and client relationship management and the organization of account activities.





Personnel from our project analysis group and our engineering services group closely support our direct sales effort.  These individuals assist the sales force in understanding the technical needs of clients and providing responses to these needs, including demonstrations, prototypes, pricing quotations and time estimates. In addition, account managers from our customer service group support our direct sales effort by providing ongoing project-level support to our clients.





Our marketing organization is responsible for developing and increasing the visibility and awareness of our brand and our service offerings, defining and communicating our value proposition, generating qualified, early-stage leads and furnishing effective sales support tools.





Primary marketing outreach activities include event marketing (including exhibiting at trade shows, conferences and seminars), direct and database marketing; public and media relations (including speaking engagements and active participation in industry and technical standard bodies), and web marketing (including integrated marketing campaigns, search engine optimization, search engine marketing and the maintenance and continued development of external websites).





Research and Development





We did not incur any research and development costs in each of the three years ended December 31, 2010.

Competition





The market for publishing services and related KPO and IT services is highly competitive, fragmented and intense.  Our major competitors include Apex CoVantage, Aptara, Cenveo, Infosys, HCL Technologies, MacMillan India, SPI Technologies, JSI S.A.S. Groupe Jouve' and Thomson Digital.





We compete successfully by offering high-quality services and favorable pricing that leverages our technical skills, IT infrastructure, process knowledge, offshore model and economies of scale.  Our competitive advantages are especially attractive to clients for undertakings that are technically sophisticated, require “high-end” talent, are sizable in scope or scale, are continuing, or that require a highly fail-safe environment with technology redundancy.





As a provider of these services, we also compete with in-house personnel at existing or prospective clients who may attempt to duplicate our services in-house.





Locations





We are headquartered in Hackensack, New Jersey, just outside New York City. We have an additional office in Dallas, Texas. We have ten production facilities in the Philippines, India, Sri Lanka and Israel.





Employees





As of December 31, 2010, we employed approximately 60 persons in the United States and Europe and over 5,000 persons in ten production facilities in the Philippines, India, Sri Lanka and Israel.  Most of our employees have graduated from at least a two-year college program. Many of our employees hold advanced degrees in law, business, technology, medicine and social sciences.  No employees are currently represented by a labor union, and we believe that our relations with our employees are satisfactory.





Corporate Information





Our principal executive offices are located at Three University Plaza, Hackensack, New Jersey 07601, and our telephone number is (201) 371-8000. Our website is www.innodata-isogen.com, and information contained on our website is not included as a part of, or incorporated by reference into, this Annual Report on Form 10-K.  There we make available, free of charge, our annual report on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, current reports on Form 8-K, and any amendments to those reports as soon as reasonably practicable after we electronically file that material with, or furnish it to, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Our SEC reports can be
obtained through the Investor Relations section of our website or from the Securities and Exchange Commission at www.sec.gov.





Item 1A.  Risk Factors.





We have historically relied on a very limited number of clients that have accounted for a significant portion of our revenues, and our results of operations could be adversely affected if were to lose one or more of these significant clients.





We have historically relied on a very limited number of clients that have accounted for a significant portion of our revenues.  Three clients generated approximately 39%, 51% and 55% of our revenues in the fiscal years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively. We may lose any of these, or our other major clients, as a result of our failure to meet or satisfy our clients’ requirements, the completion or termination of a project or engagement, or the client’s selection of another service provider.


8





In addition, the volume of work performed for our major clients may vary from year to year, and services they require from us may change from year to year. If the volume of work performed for our major clients varies or if the services they require from us change, our revenues and results of operations could be adversely affected, and we may incur a loss from operations. Our services are typically subject to client requirements, and in many cases are terminable upon 30 to 90 days’ notice.





A significant portion of our services is provided on a non-recurring basis for specific projects, and our inability to replace large projects when they are completed or otherwise terminated has adversely affected, and could in the future adversely affect, our revenues and results of operations.





We provide a portion of our services for specific projects that generate revenues that terminate on completion of a defined task, and we regard these revenues as non-recurring.  Non-recurring revenues derived from these project-based arrangements accounted for approximately 28%, 35% and 27% of our total revenues in the fiscal years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively. While we seek, wherever possible, on completion or termination of large projects, to counterbalance periodic declines in revenues with new arrangements to provide services to the same client or others, our inability to obtain sufficient new projects to counterbalance any
decreases in such work may adversely affect our future revenues and results of operations.





A large portion of our accounts receivable is payable by a limited number of clients; the inability of any of these clients to pay its accounts receivable would adversely affect our results of operations.





Several significant clients account for a large percentage of our accounts receivable.  If any of these clients were unable, or refused, for any reason, to pay our accounts receivable, our financial condition and results of operations would be adversely affected. As of December 31, 2010, 37% or $3.2 million, of our accounts receivable was due from three clients.  In the fourth quarter of 2009, we recorded a provision for doubtful accounts of approximately $1.2 million on one of our customer balances. In the fourth quarter of 2010, we entered into a settlement agreement with the customer whereby the customer agreed to pay $0.9
million of the total outstanding balance, of which $0.4 million was received in 2010 and we expect to receive the remaining balance of $0.5 million in 2011.




In addition, we evaluate the financial condition of our clients and usually bill and collect on relatively short cycles. We maintain specific allowances against doubtful receivables. Actual losses on client balances could differ from those that we currently anticipate and, as a result, we might need to adjust our allowances. There is no guarantee that we will accurately assess the creditworthiness of our clients. Macroeconomic conditions, such as the continued credit crisis and related turmoil in the global financial system, could also result in financial difficulties, including limited access to the credit markets, insolvency or bankruptcy, for our clients, and, as a result, could cause clients to delay payments
to us, request modifications to their payment arrangements that could increase our receivables balance, or default on their payment obligations to us. If we are unable to collect timely from our customers, our cash flows could be adversely affected.





Quarterly fluctuations in our revenues and results of operations could make financial forecasting difficult and could negatively affect our stock price.





We have experienced, and expect to continue to experience, significant fluctuations in our quarterly revenues and results of operations.  During the past eight quarters, our income (loss) before income taxes ranged from a loss of approximately $(3.2) million in the fourth quarter of 2009 to a profit of approximately $5.1 million in the first quarter of 2009.





We experience fluctuations in our revenue and earnings as we replace and begin new projects, which may have some normal start-up delays, or we may be unable to replace a project entirely. These and other factors may contribute to fluctuations in our results of operations from quarter to quarter.


9





A high percentage of our operating expenses, particularly personnel and rent, are relatively fixed in advance of any particular quarter. As a result, unanticipated variations in the number and timing of our projects, or in employee wage levels and utilization rates, may cause us to significantly underutilize our production capacity and employees, resulting in significant variations in our operating results in any particular quarter, and have resulted in losses.





The economic environment and pricing pressures could negatively impact our revenues and operating results.




Due to the intense competition involved in outsourcing and information technology services, we generally face pricing pressures from our clients. Our ability to maintain or increase pricing is restricted as clients generally expect to receive volume discount or special pricing incentives as we do more business with them; moreover, our large customers may exercise pressure for discounts outside of agreed terms.




In addition, a significant portion of our revenues was derived from customers located in the U.S. and Europe. If the U.S. or European economy continues to weaken or slow, pricing for our services may be depressed, which may adversely impact our revenues and profitability.




Our profitability could suffer if we are not able to maintain pricing on our existing projects and win new projects at appropriate margins.




Our profit margin, and therefore our profitability, is dependent on the rates we are able to recover for our services. If we are not able to maintain pricing on our existing services and win new projects at profitable margins, our profitability could suffer. The rates we are able to recover for our services are affected by a number of factors, including competition, value proposition our client derives from our services and general economic and political conditions.




If our pricing structures do not accurately anticipate the cost and complexity of performing our work, then our contracts could be unprofitable.




We provide services either on a time-and-materials basis or on a fixed-price basis. Our pricing is highly dependent on our internal forecasts and predictions about our projects, which might be based on limited data and could turn out to be inaccurate. If we do not accurately estimate the costs and timing for completing projects, our contracts could prove unprofitable for us or yield lower profit margins than anticipated.




Our inability to obtain price increases and improve our efficiency may impact our results of operations.




In the past few years, we have experienced wage inflation in the Asian countries where we have majority of our operations. In addition, we are recently experiencing adverse fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. These global events have put pressure on our profitability and our margins. Although we have tried to partially offset wage increases and foreign currency fluctuations through price increases and improving our efficiency, we cannot ensure that we may be able to continue to do so in the future, which would negatively impact our results of operations.


10




If our clients are not satisfied with our services, they may terminate our contracts with them or our services, which could have an adverse impact on our business.




Our business model depends in large part on our ability to attract additional work from our base of existing clients. Our business model also depends on relationships our account teams develop with our clients so that we can understand our clients’ needs and deliver solutions and services that are tailored to those needs. If a client is not satisfied with the quality of work performed by us, or with the type of services or solutions delivered, then we could incur additional costs to address the situation, the profitability of that work might be impaired, and the client’s dissatisfaction with our services could damage our ability to obtain additional work from that client. In particular, clients that
are not satisfied might seek to terminate existing contracts, which would mean that we could incur costs for the services performed with no associated revenue upon termination of a contract. This could also direct future business to our competitors. In addition, negative publicity related to our client services or relationships, regardless of its accuracy, may further damage our business by affecting our ability to compete for new contracts with current and prospective clients.




Our new clients may not generate the level of revenues anticipated for reasons beyond our control.




As we get new opportunities and win new business, our new clients may not generate the level of revenues that we initially anticipated at the time of signing an agreement with them. This could be due to various reasons beyond our control. We may invest in people or technology and incur other costs in anticipation of revenues, and as such any deviation from our expected plan would impact our margins and earnings.




Our business will suffer if we fail to develop new services and enhance our existing services in order to keep pace with the rapidly evolving technological environment or provide new service offerings, which may not succeed.




The outsourcing, information technology and consulting services industries are characterized by rapid technological change, evolving industry standards, changing customer preferences and new product and service introductions. Our future success will depend on our ability to develop solutions that keep pace with changes in the markets in which we provide services. We cannot guarantee that we will be successful in developing new services, addressing evolving technologies on a timely or cost-effective basis or, if these services are developed, that we will be successful in the marketplace. In addition, we cannot guarantee that products, services or technologies developed by others will not render our services
non-competitive or obsolete. Our failure to address these developments could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.




We invest in developing and pursuing new service offerings from time to time. Our profitability could be reduced if these services do not yield the profit margins we expect, or if the new service offerings do not generate the planned revenues.




We have made and continue to make significant investments towards building-out new capabilities to pursue growth. These investments increase our costs and if these services do not yield the revenues or profit margins we expect and we are unable to grow our business and revenues proportionately, our profitability may be reduced.





We depend on third-party technology in the provision of our services.





We rely upon certain software that we license from third parties, including software integrated with our internally developed software used in the provision of our services. These third-party software licenses may not continue to be available to us on commercially reasonable or competitive terms, if at all.  The loss of, or inability to maintain or obtain any of these software licenses, could result in delays in the provision of our services until we develop, identify, license and integrate equivalent software. Any delay in the provision of our services could damage our business and adversely affect our results of operations.





We compete in highly competitive markets that have low barriers to entry.





The markets for our services are highly competitive and fragmented.  We compete successfully against our competitors; however, some of our competitors have longer operating histories, significantly greater financial, human, technical and other resources and greater name recognition than we do.  If we fail to be competitive with these companies in the future, we may lose market share, which could adversely affect our revenues and results of operations.


11




There are relatively few barriers preventing companies from competing with us. We do not own any patented technology that would preclude or inhibit others from entering our market. As a result, new market entrants also pose a threat to our business.  We also compete with in-house personnel at current and prospective clients, who may attempt to duplicate our services using their own personnel. We cannot guarantee that our clients will outsource more of their needs to us in the future, or that they will not choose to provide internally the services that they currently obtain from us.  If we are not able to compete effectively, our revenues and
results of operations could be adversely affected.





We may fail to attract and retain enough sufficiently trained employees to support our operations, as competition for highly skilled personnel is significant. These factors could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.





The outsourcing industry relies on large numbers of skilled employees, and our success depends to a significant extent on our ability to attract, hire, train and retain qualified employees. The outsourcing industry, including our Company, experiences high employee attrition. Increased competition for these professionals, in the outsourcing industry or otherwise, could have an adverse effect on us. A significant increase in the attrition rate among employees with specialized skills could decrease our operating efficiency and productivity.





In addition, our ability to maintain and renew existing engagements and obtain new businesses will depend, in large part, on our ability to attract, train and retain personnel with skills that enable us to keep pace with growing demands for outsourcing, evolving industry standards and changing client preferences. Our failure to attract, train and retain personnel with the qualifications necessary to fulfill the needs of our existing and future clients or to assimilate new employees successfully could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.




Disruptions in telecommunications, system failures, data corruption or virus attacks could harm our ability to execute our global resource model, which could result in client dissatisfaction and a reduction of our revenues.




We use a distributed global resource model. Our onshore workforce provides services from our North American and European offices, as well as from client sites; and our offshore workforce provides services from our ten overseas production facilities in the Philippines, India, India, Sri Lanka and Israel. All our global facilities are linked with a telecommunications network that uses multiple service providers. We may not be able to maintain active voice and data communications between our various facilities and our clients' sites at all times due to disruptions in these networks, system failures, data corruption or virus attacks. Any significant failure in our ability to communicate could result in a disruption
in business, which could hinder our performance or our ability to complete client projects on time. This, in turn, could lead to client dissatisfaction and an adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.





Our international operations subject us to risks inherent in doing business on an international level, any of which could increase our costs and hinder our growth.





The major part of our operations is carried on in the Philippines, India, Sri Lanka and Israel, while our headquarters are in the United States, and our clients are primarily located in North America and Europe.  While we do not depend on significant revenues from sources internal to the countries in which we operate, we are nevertheless subject to certain adverse economic factors relating to overseas economies generally, including inflation, external debt, a negative balance of trade and underemployment.  Other risks associated with our international business activities include:


12





•
difficulties in staffing international projects and managing international operations, including overcoming logistical and communications challenges;





•  local competition, particularly in the Philippines, India and Sri Lanka;





•  imposition of public sector controls;





•  trade and tariff restrictions;





•  price or exchange controls;





•  currency control regulations;





•  foreign tax consequences;





•  labor disputes and related litigation and liability;





•  limitations on repatriation of earnings; and





•  the burdens of complying with a wide variety of foreign laws and regulations.





One or more of these factors could adversely affect our business and results of operations.





Our international operations subject us to currency exchange fluctuations, which could adversely affect our results of operations.





To date, most of our revenues have been denominated in U.S. dollars, while a significant portion of our expenses, primarily labor expenses in the Philippines, India, Sri Lanka and Israel, is incurred in the local currencies of countries in which we operate.  For financial reporting purposes, we translate all non-United States denominated transactions into dollars in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.  As a result, we are exposed to the risk that fluctuations in the value of these currencies relative to the dollar could increase the dollar cost of our operations and therefore adversely affect our results
of operations.





The Philippines and India have at times experienced high rates of inflation as well as major fluctuations in the exchange rate between the Philippine peso and the U.S. dollar and the Indian rupee and the U.S. dollar. Continuing inflation without corresponding devaluations of the peso and rupee against the dollar, or any other increase in the value of the peso or rupee relative to the dollar, could adversely affect our results of operations.





There is no guarantee that our financial results will not be adversely affected by currency exchange rate fluctuations or that any efforts by us to engage in foreign currency hedging activities will be effective. Finally, as most of our expenses are incurred in currencies other than those in which we bill for the related services, any increase in the value of certain foreign currencies against the U.S. dollar could increase our operating costs.




In the event that the government of India, the Philippines or the government of another country changes its tax policies, rules and regulations, our tax expense may increase and affect our effective tax rates.




We are subject to income taxes in both the U.S. and numerous foreign jurisdictions. We are subject to the continual examination by tax authorities in India, and the Company assesses the likelihood of outcomes resulting from these examinations to determine the adequacy of its provision for income taxes. Although we believe our tax estimates are reasonable, the final determination of tax audits could be materially different than what is reflected in historical income tax provisions and accruals, and could result in a material effect on the Company’s income tax provision, net income or cash flows in the period or periods for which that determination is made. If additional taxes are assessed, it could have an
adverse impact on our financial results.


13




In addition, unanticipated changes in the tax rates, tax laws or the interpretation of tax laws in the jurisdiction where we operate, could affect our future results of operations.




Our operating results may be adversely affected by our use of derivative financial instruments.




We have entered into a series of foreign currency forward contracts that are designated as cash flow hedges. These contracts are intended to partially offset the impact of the movement of the exchange rates on future operating costs of our Asian subsidiaries. The hedging strategies that we have implemented or may implement to mitigate foreign currency exchange rate risks may not reduce or completely offset our exposure to foreign exchange rate fluctuations and may expose our business to unexpected market, operational and counterparty credit risks. Accordingly, we may incur losses from our use of derivative financial instruments that could have a material adverse affect on our business, results of operations and
financial condition.





Regulations of the Internal Revenue Service may impose significant U.S. income taxes on our subsidiaries in the Philippines.





Our subsidiaries incorporated in the Philippines were domesticated in Delaware as limited liability companies.  In August 2004, the Internal Revenue Service promulgated regulations, effective August 12, 2004, that treat certain companies incorporated in foreign jurisdictions and also domesticated as Delaware limited liability companies as U.S. corporations for U.S. federal income tax purposes.  We have effected certain filings with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware to ensure that these subsidiaries are no longer domesticated in Delaware.  As a result, commencing January 1, 2005, these subsidiaries are no
longer treated as U.S. corporations for U.S. federal income tax purposes under the regulations, and furthermore, are not subject to U.S. federal income taxes commencing as of such date.





In the preamble to such regulations, the IRS expressed its view that dual registered companies described in the preceding paragraph are also treated as U.S. corporations for U.S. federal income tax purposes for periods prior to August 12, 2004.  In 2006, the IRS issued its final regulations, stating that neither the temporary regulations nor these final regulations is retroactive.  Further, additional guidance was released by the IRS which clarified that the regulations upon which we relied were not binding on pre existing entities until May 2006.  For periods prior to this date (i.e., prior to August 12, 2004) these final regulations
apply, and the classification of dually chartered entities is governed by the pre existing regulations.  As such, we believe that our historic treatment of these subsidiaries as not having been required to pay taxes in the United States for the period prior to August 12, 2004 is correct, and we have made no provision for U.S. taxes in our financial statements for these entities for the periods prior to August 12, 2004.





However, we cannot guarantee that the Internal Revenue Service will not assert other positions with respect to the foregoing matters, including positions with respect to our treatment of the tax consequences of the termination of the status of our Philippine subsidiaries as Delaware limited liability companies that, if successful, could increase materially our liability for U.S. federal income taxes.





If certain tax authorities in North America and Europe challenge the manner in which we allocate our profits, our net income could decrease.





Substantially all of the services provided by our Asian subsidiaries are performed on behalf of clients based in North America and Europe. We believe that profits from our Asian operations are not sufficiently connected to jurisdictions in North America or Europe to give rise to income taxation in those jurisdictions.  Tax authorities in any of our jurisdictions could, however, challenge the manner in which we allocate our profits among our subsidiaries, and we may not prevail in this type of challenge. If such a challenge were successful, our worldwide effective tax rate could increase, thereby decreasing our net income.


14





An expiration or termination of our preferential tax rate incentives could adversely affect our results of operations.





Certain foreign subsidiaries enjoyed a tax holiday in 2009. Whereas the income tax holiday for one of our Philippine subsidiaries expired in May 2009 and the income tax holiday for one of our Indian subsidiaries expired in March 2009, one of our other foreign subsidiaries continued enjoying tax holiday benefits in 2010. In addition, certain of our foreign subsidiaries are subject to preferential tax rates. These tax incentives provide that we pay reduced income taxes in those jurisdictions for a fixed period of time that varies depending on the jurisdiction. An expiration or termination of these incentives
could substantially increase our worldwide effective tax rate, thereby decreasing our net income and adversely affecting our results of operations.




Our earnings may be adversely affected if we change our intent not to repatriate earnings in Asia or if such earnings become subject to U.S. tax on a current basis.




We had previously intended to remit $5.1 million of our foreign earnings to the U.S. These earnings represent a portion of our foreign profits earned prior to 2002. In 2009, we made a reassessment of our plans to remit such foreign earnings and determined that these earnings will be indefinitely reinvested in our foreign subsidiaries. Thus, we no longer accrue incremental U.S. taxes on foreign earnings as these earnings are considered to be indefinitely reinvested outside of the United States. While we have no plans to do so, events may occur in the future that could effectively force us to change our current intent not to repatriate our foreign earnings. If we change our intent and repatriate such earnings, we
will have to accrue the applicable amount of taxes associated with such earnings and pay taxes at a substantially higher rate than our effective income tax rate in 2009. These increased taxes could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.




In recent months, President Obama’s administration announced a number of tax-related legislative proposals that would, among other things, seek to effectively tax certain profits of U.S. companies earned overseas. Although the President did not include several of these proposals in the budget he announced in early 2010, Congress could consider any of these measures at any time. If enacted into law, and depending on their precise terms, these proposals could increase our tax rate and tax payments, and could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.




Anti-outsourcing legislation, if adopted, could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations and impair our ability to service our customers.




The issue of outsourcing of services abroad by U.S. companies is a topic of political discussion in the United States. Measures aimed at limiting or restricting outsourcing by U.S. companies are under discussion in Congress and in numerous state legislatures. While no substantive anti-outsourcing legislation has been introduced to date, given the ongoing debate over this issue, the introduction of such legislation is possible. If introduced, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected and our ability to service our customers could be impaired.




Our growth could be hindered by visa restrictions.




Occasionally, we have employees from our other facilities visit or transfer to the United States to meet our clients and work on projects at clients sites. Any visa restrictions or new legislation putting a restriction on issuing visas could affect our business.




Immigration and visa laws and regulations in the United States and other countries are subject to legislative and administrative changes as well as changes in the application of standards. Immigration and visa laws and regulations can be significantly affected by political forces and levels of economic activity. Our international expansion strategy and our business, results of operations and financial condition may be materially adversely affected if legislative or administrative changes to immigration or visa laws and regulations impair our ability to staff projects with our professionals who are not citizens of the country where the work is to be performed.


15


Political uncertainty, political unrest and terrorism in the Philippines, India, Sri Lanka and Israel could adversely affect business conditions in those regions, which in turn could disrupt our business and results of operations.





We conduct the majority of our operations in the Philippines, India, Sri Lanka and Israel. These countries and regions remain vulnerable to disruptions from political uncertainty, political unrest and terrorist acts.





The Philippines continues to experience problems associated with an on-going communist insurgency and an Islamic-separatist one.  It also has the Abu Sayyaf Group, an Islamic-separatist group engaged in bombings and kidnappings which is purported to be have ties to the Al Qaeda terrorist organization.  While the locations affected by these groups are not near our facilities and operations, the nature of the risk does not preclude incidents from occurring anywhere in the country.





India has experienced terrorist attacks on its population centers.  In addition to the toll caused by these incidents, the allegations that these attacks are organized by Pakistan may result in the heightening of tensions and the attendant risks of military confrontation. This long-standing risk continues unchanged into the present.





The conclusion of the civil war in Sri Lanka was a welcome development.  However, the concern remains is that activities may shift towards asymmetrical warfare and terrorist attacks on population centers.





Since September 2000, there has been a high level of violence between Israel and the Palestinians. Hamas, an Islamist movement responsible for many attacks, including missile strikes, against Israelis, won the majority of the seats in the Parliament of the Palestinian Authority in January 2006 and took control of the entire Gaza Strip, by force, in June 2007. Hamas has launched hundreds of missiles from the Gaza Strip against Israeli population centers. This led to an armed conflict between Israel and the Hamas during December 2008 and January 2009.





Any damage to our network and/or information systems would damage our ability to provide service, in whole or in part, and/or otherwise damage our operation  and could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations. Further political tensions brought about by any of these groups and escalation of hostilities could adversely affect our operations based in these countries and therefore adversely affect our revenues and results of operations.





Terrorist attacks or a war could adversely affect our results of operations.





Terrorist attacks, such as the attacks of September 11, 2001 in the United States and the attacks in Mumbai, India in November 2008, and other acts of violence or war, such as the conflict in Iraq, could affect us or our clients by disrupting normal business practices for extended periods of time and reducing business confidence.  In addition, these attacks may make travel more difficult and may effectively curtail our ability to serve our clients' needs, any of which could adversely affect our results of operations.





We are the subject of continuing litigation, including litigation by certain of our former employees.





We are subject to various legal proceedings and claims that arise in the ordinary course of business.





In addition, the Supreme Court of the Republic of the Philippines has refused to review a decision of the Court of Appeals in Manila against a Philippines subsidiary of the Company that is inactive and has no material assets, and purportedly also against Innodata Isogen, Inc., that orders the reinstatement of certain former employees of the subsidiary to their former positions and also orders the payment of back wages and benefits that aggregate approximately $7.5 million. Based on consultation with legal counsel, the Company believes that recovery against the Company is nevertheless unlikely.


16




While we currently believe that the ultimate outcome of these proceedings will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position or overall trends in results of operations, litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties. Substantial recovery against the Company in the above referenced Philippines actions could have a material adverse impact on the Company, and unfavorable rulings or recoveries in the other proceedings could have a material adverse impact on the operating results of the period in which the ruling or recovery occurs. In addition, our estimate of potential impact on the Company’s financial position or overall results of operations for the above legal
proceedings could change in the future. See “Legal Proceedings.”





Failure to remediate the material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting in accordance with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 could have a material adverse effect on our business and stock price.





We identified a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2008 and 2009. We identified that we had errors in the computation of deferred tax assets and related income tax benefit. Accordingly, we amended our Form 10-K for 2008 and Form 10-Q for September 30, 2009, to correct such errors. In 2010, we implemented mitigating controls and performed successful tests and therefore consider that the material weakness identified in our internal controls related to income taxes has been remediated. As defined by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board Auditing Standard No. 5, a material weakness is a deficiency or a combination of deficiencies over
financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the annual or the interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected. Our failure to successfully remediate a material weakness could cause us to fail to meet our reporting obligations and produce timely and reliable financial information. Additionally such failure could cause investors to lose confidence in our reported financial information, which could have a negative impact on our financial condition and stock price.




Our reputation could be damaged or our profitability could suffer if we do not meet the controls and procedures in respect to the services and solutions we provide to our clients, and it contributes to our clients’ internal control deficiencies.




Our clients may perform audits or require us to perform audits, provide audit reports or obtain certifications with respect to the controls and procedures that we use in the performance of services for such clients, especially when we process data or information belonging to them. Our ability to acquire new clients and retain existing clients may be adversely affected and our reputation could be harmed if we receive a qualified opinion, or if we cannot obtain an unqualified opinion, or an appropriate certification with respect to our controls and procedures in connection with any such audit in a timely manner. Additionally, our profitability could suffer if our controls and procedures were to result in internal
controls failures or impair our client’s ability to comply with its own internal control requirements.




New acquisitions, joint ventures or strategic investments could harm our operating results.




We may pursue new acquisitions, joint ventures or do strategic investments to grow and enhance our capabilities. We cannot assure that we will successfully consummate any acquisitions, joint ventures and do strategic investments and achieve desired financial and operating results. Further such activities involve a number of risks and challenges, including proper evaluation, diversion of management’s attention and proper integration into the current business. Accordingly, we might fail to realize the expected benefits or strategic objectives of any acquisition we undertake. If we are unable to complete the kind of acquisitions for which we plan, we may not be able to achieve our planned rates of growth,
profitability or competitive position in specific markets or services.


17


It is unlikely that we will pay dividends.





We have not paid any cash dividends since our inception and do not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future.  We expect that our earnings, if any, will be used to finance our growth.





Item 1B.  Unresolved Staff Comments.





None.





Item 2.  Properties.





Our services are primarily performed from our Hackensack, New Jersey headquarters, our Dallas, Texas office, and ten overseas production facilities in the Philippines, India, Sri Lanka and Israel, all of which are leased. The square footage of all our leased properties is approximately 310,000.





We currently lease property sufficient for our business operations, although we may need to lease additional property in the future. We also believe that we will be able to obtain suitable additional facilities on commercially reasonable terms on an “as needed” basis.





Item 3.  Legal Proceedings.





The Supreme Court of the Republic of the Philippines has refused to review a decision of the Court of Appeals in Manila against a Philippines subsidiary of the Company that is inactive and has no material assets, and purportedly also against Innodata Isogen, Inc., that orders the reinstatement of certain former employees of the subsidiary to their former positions and also orders the payment of back wages and benefits that aggregate approximately $7.5 million. Based on consultation with legal counsel, the Company believes that recovery against the Company is nevertheless unlikely.





The Court of Appeals decision was rendered in Case Nos. CA-G.R. SP No. 93295 Innodata Employees Association (IDEA), Eleanor Tolentino, et al. vs. Innodata Philippines, Inc., et al., and CA-G.R. SP No. 90538 Innodata Philippines, Inc. vs. Honorable Acting Secretary Manuel G. Imson, et al. 28 June 2007). Matters relating to execution of this decision are on file with the Department of Labor and Employment National Labor Relations Commission, Republic of the Philippines (NLRC-NCR-Case No.07-04713-2002, et al., Innodata Employees Association (IDEA) and Eleanor A. Tolentino, et al. vs. Innodata Philippines, Inc., et al), and the Department of Labor and Employment Office of the Secretary of Labor and Employment,
Republic of the Philippines (Case No. OS-AJ-0015-2001, In Re: Labor Dispute at Innodata Philippines, Inc.)





The Company is also subject to various legal proceedings and claims which arise in the ordinary course of business.





While management currently believes that the ultimate outcome of these proceedings will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position or overall trends in results of operations, litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties. Substantial recovery against the Company in the above referenced Philippines actions could have a material adverse impact on the Company, and unfavorable rulings or recoveries in the other proceedings could have a material adverse impact on the operating results of the period in which the ruling or recovery occurs.

Revenues





Our publishing services include digitization, conversion, composition, data modeling and XML encoding, and KPO services include research and analysis, authoring, copy editing, abstracting, indexing and other content creation activities. Our IT system professionals support the design, implementation, integration and deployment of digital systems used to author, manage and distribute content. Services that we regard as ongoing in nature generate what we regard as recurring revenues. Services that are provided for a specific project generate revenues that terminate on completion of a defined task, and we regard these revenues as non-recurring. We price our publishing
services and KPO services based on the quantity delivered or resources utilized and we recognize revenue in the period in which the services are performed and delivered. A substantial majority of our IT professional services is provided on a project basis that generates non-recurring revenues. We price our professional services on an hourly basis for actual time and expense incurred, or on a fixed-fee, turn-key basis.  Revenues for contracts billed on a time-and-materials basis are recognized as services are performed.  Revenues under fixed-fee contracts, which are not significant to the overall revenues, are recognized on the percentage of completion method of accounting, as services are performed or milestones are achieved.





Recurring revenues comprised 72%, 65% and 73% of total revenues for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively.  We have historically relied on a very limited number of clients that have accounted for a significant portion of our revenues. Three clients generated approximately 39%, 51% and 55% of our total revenues in the fiscal years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively.  We may lose any of these, or our other major clients, as a result of our failure to meet or satisfy our clients’ requirements, the completion or termination of a project or engagement, or the client’s selection of another service
provider. We may also experience significant volume fluctuation.


22





In addition, the revenues we generate from our major clients may decline or grow at a slower rate in future periods than in the past.  If we lose any of our significant clients, our revenues and results of operations could be adversely affected, and we may incur a loss from operations.  Our services are typically subject to client requirements, and in many cases are terminable upon 30 to 90 days’ notice.





Refer to “Risk Factors.”





Direct Operating Costs





Direct operating costs consist of direct payroll, occupancy costs, depreciation and amortization, travel, telecommunications, computer services and supplies, and other direct expenses that are incurred in providing services to our clients.





Selling and Administrative Expenses





Selling and administrative expenses consist of management and administrative salaries, sales and marketing costs, new services research and related software development, professional fees and consultant costs and other administrative overhead costs.





Results of Operations





Year Ended December 31, 2010 Compared to the Year Ended December 31, 2009





Revenues





Revenues were $61.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2010 compared to $76.7 million for the similar period in 2009, a decline of approximately 20%. The $15.2 million decline in revenues was principally attributable to a $20.5 million decline in revenue from one of our significant clients, which was partially offset by a $5.3 million increase in revenues from our other clients. The $20.5 million decline in revenues from one of our significant clients follows a significant decline in revenues from this client in the second half of 2009 and the first quarter of 2010. We cannot determine whether this pattern of decline will continue in the next
several quarters. In addition, for one of our customers, which accounted for approximately $2 million in revenues for the year ended December 31, 2010, we forecast that revenues will wind down in 2011.





Three clients generated $23.8 million or 39% and $39.2 million or 51% of our revenues in the fiscal years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. No other client accounted for 10% of more of our total revenues for these periods. Further, for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, revenues from clients located in foreign countries (principally in Europe) amounted to $20.5 million or 33% and $16.4 million or 21%, respectively, of our total revenues.





For the year ended December 31, 2010, approximately 72% or $44.5 million of our revenues were recurring and 28% or $17.0 million were non-recurring, compared with 65% or $49.8 million and 35% or $26.9 million, respectively, for the year ended December 31, 2009.





Direct Operating Costs





Direct operating costs were $47.3 million and $52.1 million for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively, a decline of approximately 9.3%.





The decrease in direct operating costs was principally attributable to a decrease in compensation, incentives and benefit costs as the number of production employees was scaled down due to a decline in revenues from one of our significant clients. The decline in direct operating costs was partially offset by an annual increase in compensation costs of existing employees, compensation costs of new hires in our consulting and technology group and other miscellaneous operating costs.


23




In addition, for the year ended December 31, 2010, foreign exchange rate fluctuations caused by a strengthening Philippine peso and Indian rupee against the U.S. dollar increased direct operating costs by approximately $2.2 million, which was offset by gains from the settlement of foreign currency forward contracts of $2.2 million.





Changes in direct operating expenses and revenues, as mentioned above, resulted in an increase in direct operating costs, as a percentage of revenues, to 77% for the year ended December 31, 2010, from 68% for the year ended December 31, 2009.





Selling and Administrative Expenses





Selling and administrative expenses were $15.7 million and $16.3 million for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively, a decline of 4%. Selling and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenues was 25% and 21% for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.





In 2009, we recorded a provision for doubtful accounts of approximately $1.2 million for one of our customers. In the fourth quarter of 2010, we entered into a settlement agreement with the customer whereby the customer agreed to pay $0.9 million of the total outstanding balance. Of the total amount, we received $0.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2010 and expect to receive the remaining balance of $0.5 million in the first half of 2011. This resulted in a net decline of approximately $1.6 million in selling and administrative expenses in the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010 compared to the same period in 2009. In addition, we spent $0.4 million less towards consultancy fees during fiscal year ended December
31, 2010. The decrease in selling and administrative expenses was partially offset by compensation costs of new personnel hired for sales and consulting services combined with unfavorable foreign exchange rates.





If no effect were given to the $1.2 million provision for doubtful accounts which was recorded for one of our customers and $0.4 million of collection thereof, selling and administrative expenses would have increased by approximately 6% in 2010 as compared to 2009 and, as a percentage of revenues, would have been 26% in 2010, compared to 20% in 2009.




Income Taxes





For the year ended December 31, 2010, we recorded a provision for income taxes primarily for our foreign subsidiaries, which was more than offset by a tax benefit recorded for the U.S. entity. The benefit from income tax recorded by the U.S. entity resulted primarily from losses incurred by the U.S. entity during the year ended December 31, 2010. One of our foreign subsidiaries enjoyed a tax holiday in 2010. In addition, certain of our foreign subsidiaries enjoy preferential tax rates. Certain overseas income is not subject to tax in the U.S. unless repatriated.





For the year ended December 31, 2009, we recorded a provision for income taxes primarily for our foreign subsidiaries, which was partially offset by the benefit recorded for the U.S. entity. Certain foreign subsidiaries enjoyed a tax holiday in 2009. Whereas the income tax holiday for one of our Philippine subsidiaries expired in May 2009 and the income tax holiday for one of our Indian subsidiaries expired in March 2009, one of our other foreign subsidiaries continued enjoying tax holiday benefits in 2009. In addition, certain of our foreign subsidiaries enjoy preferential tax rates. Certain overseas income is not subject to tax in the U.S. unless repatriated.


24


We had previously recorded a deferred tax liability on approximately $5.1 million of foreign earnings, which we intended to remit to the U.S. These earnings represent a portion of our foreign profits earned prior to 2002. In 2009, we made a reassessment of our plans to remit such foreign earnings and determined that these earnings would be indefinitely reinvested in our foreign subsidiaries. As a result of the change in our intent, we reduced our deferred tax liabilities related to undistributed foreign earnings by approximately $2.0 million in 2009. This reversal of deferred tax liabilities resulted in a tax benefit, which completely offset the provision for income tax recorded for the U.S. entity.





Beginning in 2002, unremitted earnings of foreign subsidiaries have been included in the consolidated financial statements without giving effect to the United States taxes that may be payable on distribution to the United States, because such earnings are not anticipated to be remitted to the United States. If such earnings were to be distributed, we may be subject to United States income taxes that may not be fully offset by foreign tax credits.





In assessing the realization of deferred tax assets, we consider whether it is more likely than not that all or some portion of the deferred tax assets will not be realizable. The ultimate realization of the deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which temporary differences are deductible and net operating losses are available. We consider many factors when assessing the likelihood of future realization of the deferred tax assets, including our recent cumulative earnings, expectation of future taxable income, the carryforward periods available to us for tax reporting purposes, and other relevant
factors. The valuation allowance at December 31, 2009, represents the allowance we have established on deferred tax assets of our foreign subsidiaries. At December 31, 2010, we had no valuation allowance on deferred tax assets of our foreign subsidiaries..





Pursuant to an income tax audit by the Indian Bureau of Taxation in March 2006, one of our Indian subsidiaries received a tax assessment approximating $339,000, including interest, through December 31, 2010, for the fiscal tax year ended March 31, 2003. We disagreed with the basis of the tax assessment and filed an appeal with the Appeal Officer against the assessment. In October 2010, the matter was resolved with a judgment in our favor. Under the Indian Income Tax Act, however, the income tax assessing officer has a right to appeal against the judgment passed by the Appeal Officer. In December 2010, the income tax assessing officer exercised this right, against which we filed an application to
defend the case and we intend to contest it vigorously. The Indian Bureau of Taxation has also completed an audit of our Indian subsidiary’s income tax return for the fiscal tax year ended March 31, 2004. The ultimate outcome was favorable, and there was no tax assessment imposed for the fiscal tax year ended March 31, 2004. As of December 31, 2008 and 2009, the Indian subsidiary received a final tax assessment for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2005 and 2006 from the Indian Bureau of Taxation approximating $340,000 and $319,000, respectively, including interest through December 31, 2010. We disagree with the basis of these tax assessments, have filed an appeal against the assessments and will contest them vigorously. As we are continually subject to tax audits by the Indian Bureau of Taxation, we assessed the likelihood of an unfavorable assessment for
the fiscal years ended March 31, 2007, and subsequent years for our Indian subsidiary, and recorded an additional tax provision amounting to approximately $829,000 including interest through December 31, 2010. The Indian Bureau of Taxation commenced an audit of this subsidiary’s income tax return for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2008 and 2009. The ultimate outcome cannot be determined at this time.





We had unrecognized tax benefits of $1.8 million and $1.3 million at December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The portion of unrecognized tax benefits relating to interest and penalties was $0.4 million, each at December 31, 2010 and 2009. The unrecognized tax benefits as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively, if recognized, would have an impact on our effective tax rate.





We are subject to various tax audits and claims which arise in the ordinary course of business.  Management currently believes that the ultimate outcome of these audits and claims will not have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position or results of operations.


25


Net Income (Loss)




We generated a net loss of $0.7 million in 2010 compared with net income of $7.3 million in 2009. The change was principally attributable to a decrease in gross margins resulting from a decline in revenues, unfavorable foreign exchange rates, annual increases in compensation costs of existing employees and increased compensation costs due to new hires in our consulting and technology group, partially offset by a favorable impact on the settlement of foreign currency forward contracts. The change was also attributable to an increase in selling and administrative expenses primarily due to hiring of new sales executives, offset by an increase in interest income and a decrease in the provision for income
taxes.





Year Ended December 31, 2009 Compared to the Year Ended December 31, 2008





Revenues





Revenues were $76.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2009 compared to $73.2 million for the similar period in 2008, an increase of approximately 5%. The $3.5 million increase in revenues was principally attributable to higher revenues from three clients, and was partially offset by a decrease in revenues from two clients. The change in revenue reflects an increase of $5.3 million from non-recurring project revenue and a decline of $1.8 million in recurring revenue.





Two clients generated approximately 46% and 48% of our revenues in the fiscal years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. Further, for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, revenues from clients located in foreign countries (principally in Europe) accounted for 21% of our total revenues.





For the year ended December 31, 2009, approximately 65% of our revenue was recurring and 35% was non-recurring, compared with 73% and 27%, respectively, for the year ended December 31, 2008.





Direct Operating Costs





Direct operating costs were $52.1 million and $51.3 million for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively, an increase of approximately 2%.  Direct operating costs as a percentage of revenues was 68% for the year ended December 31, 2009 and 70% for the year ended December 31, 2008.





The increase in direct operating costs was principally attributable to an increase in wage rates and variable labor (management and production personnel) costs, compensation cost of new hires in our consulting and technology group, benefit costs and other operating costs in support of increased revenue. The increase in direct operating costs was partially offset by cost savings from restructuring activity undertaken in December 2008 and a favorable impact from foreign exchange rates of approximately $3.0 million in direct operating costs resulting from a strengthening of the U.S. dollar against the Philippine peso and Indian rupee. In addition, direct operating
costs in 2009 reflect $0.3 million in gains from the settlement of foreign currency forward contracts, compared with $1.1 million in losses from the settlement of these foreign currency forward contracts in 2008. Direct operating expenses as a percentage of revenues was lower in 2009, compared to 2008, principally due to higher revenues and less than proportional increases in fixed costs and favorable foreign exchange rates.





Selling and Administrative Expenses





Selling and administrative expenses were $16.3 million and $16.5 million for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively, a decline of 1%. Selling and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenues was 21% and 23% for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.  The lower percentage reflects sustained cost levels on a higher revenue base.





The decrease in selling and administrative expenses principally reflects cost reductions resulting from a restructuring program undertaken in December 2008, the favorable impact of foreign exchange rates, and a decrease in marketing costs and other administrative costs. These benefits were partially offset by an increase in the provision for doubtful accounts, approximately $1.2 million, for one of our customers and the compensation costs of new sales executives.


26





If no effect were given to the $1.2 million provision for doubtful accounts, which was recorded for one of our customers, selling and administrative expenses would have decreased by approximately 8% in 2009 as compared to 2008 and, as a percentage of revenues, would have been 19% in 2009, compared to 22% in 2008.




Restructuring Costs





As part of our overall cost reduction plan to reduce operating costs, in December 2008, we announced a restructuring plan that reduced our global work force by approximately 260 employees. The majority of these employees was based in Asia and terminated by December 31, 2008.





In connection with the restructuring, we recorded in 2008, a one-time charge of approximately $0.5 million ($0.3 million in direct operating costs and $0.2 million in selling and administrative expenses) representing severance and other personnel-related expenses. We paid $265,000 of the total restructuring charges by December 31, 2008 and paid the remaining balance of $210,000 in 2009.





Income Taxes





For the year ended December 31, 2009, we recorded a provision for income taxes primarily for our foreign subsidiaries, which was partially offset by the benefit recorded for the U.S. entity. Certain foreign subsidiaries enjoyed a tax holiday in 2009. Whereas the income tax holiday for one of our Philippine subsidiaries expired in May 2009 and the income tax holiday for one of our Indian subsidiaries expired in March 2009, one of our other foreign subsidiaries continued enjoying tax holiday benefits in 2009. In addition, certain of our foreign subsidiaries enjoy preferential tax rates. Certain overseas income is not subject to tax in the U.S. unless repatriated.





We had previously recorded a deferred tax liability on approximately $5.1 million of foreign earnings, which we intended to remit to the U.S. These earnings represent a portion of our foreign profits earned prior to 2002. In 2009, we made a reassessment of our plans to remit such foreign earnings and determined that these earnings would be indefinitely reinvested in our foreign subsidiaries. As a result of the change in our intent, we reduced our deferred tax liabilities related to undistributed foreign earnings by approximately $2.0 million. This reversal of deferred tax liabilities resulted in a tax benefit, which completely offset the provision for income tax recorded for the U.S. entity. Beginning in
2002, unremitted earnings of foreign subsidiaries have been included in the consolidated financial statements without giving effect to the United States taxes that may be payable on distribution to the United States, because such earnings are not anticipated to be remitted to the United States. If such earnings were to be distributed, we may be subject to United States income taxes that may not be fully offset by foreign tax credits.





For the year ended December 31, 2008, the benefit from income taxes resulted primarily from the reversal of a valuation allowance previously recorded on the U.S. portion of deferred tax assets. We recorded no provision for U.S. income taxes, other than for alternative minimum tax, because we utilized net operating losses for which we had previously recorded a valuation allowance against the corresponding deferred tax asset. The income tax benefit was partially reduced by the provision for foreign income taxes attributable to overseas subsidiaries.





In assessing the realization of deferred tax assets, we consider whether it is more likely than not that all or some portion of the deferred tax assets will not be realizable. The ultimate realization of the deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which temporary differences are deductible and net operating losses are available. We consider many factors when assessing the likelihood of future realization of the deferred tax assets, including our recent cumulative earnings, expectation of future taxable income, the carryforward periods available to us for tax reporting purposes, and other relevant
factors. Based upon management’s assessment and the available evidence, in 2008 we reversed the entire portion of the valuation allowance previously recorded on the U.S. portion of deferred tax assets, resulting in a non-cash tax benefit amounting to $2.4 million. The decline in the valuation allowance in 2008 also resulted from the utilization of net operating losses. We utilized approximately $5.8 million and $3.8 million of net operating losses for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. The remaining valuation allowance at December 31, 2009 and 2008 represents the allowance we have established on deferred tax assets of our foreign subsidiaries.


27





Pursuant to an income tax audit by the Indian Bureau of Taxation, in March 2006, one of our Indian subsidiaries received a tax assessment approximating $0.3 million, including interest through December 31, 2009, for the fiscal tax year ended March 31, 2003. We disagree with the basis of the tax assessment, and have filed an appeal against the assessment, which we will contest vigorously. The Indian Bureau of Taxation has also completed an audit of our Indian subsidiary’s income tax return for the fiscal tax year ended March 31, 2004. The ultimate outcome was favorable, and there was no tax assessment imposed for the fiscal tax year ended March 31, 2004. In December 2008
and December 2009, the Indian subsidiary received a tax assessment from the India Bureau of Taxation for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2005 and 2006, respectively, each approximating $0.3 million, including interest through December 31, 2009. We disagree with the basis of the tax assessments, have filed an appeal against the assessments and will contest them vigorously. In 2009, the Indian Bureau of Taxation  commenced an audit of our subsidiary’s income tax return for the fiscal year ended 2008. The ultimate outcome cannot be determined at this time. As we are continually subject to tax audit by the Indian bureau of Taxation, we assessed the likelihood of an unfavorable assessment for the fiscal year 2008 and recorded an additional tax provision amounting to $323,000, including interest through December 31, 2009.





We had unrecognized tax benefits of $1.3 million and $0.8 million at December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. The portion of unrecognized tax benefits relating to interest and penalties was $0.4 million and $0.2 million at December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. The unrecognized tax benefits as of December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively, if recognized, would have an impact on our effective tax rate.





We are subject to various tax audits and claims which arise in the ordinary course of business.  Management currently believes that the ultimate outcome of these audits and claims will not have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position or results of operations.





Net Income




We generated net income of $7.3 million in 2009 compared with net income of $6.7 million in 2008.  The positive change was principally attributable to the increase in gross margins resulting from increased revenues, favorable foreign exchange rates, a net favorable impact on the settlement of foreign currency forward contracts, lower selling and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenues, and overall cost savings from restructuring activity undertaken in December 2008.  These were partially offset by compensation costs related to the hiring of new sales executives and an increase in the provision for doubtful accounts, approximately $1.2 million, for one of our customers.  The
positive change was also attributable to the reversal of the deferred tax liability, based on the intent to reinvest $5.1 million of foreign earnings indefinitely, offset by the reversal of a valuation allowance previously recorded on the U.S. portion of deferred tax assets, amounting to $2.4 million in 2008, and a decrease in interest income on available cash as a result of the decline in interest rates.

At December 31, 2010 we had cash and cash equivalents of $14.1 million and short term and  long term investments of $13.8 million. We have used, and plan to use, such cash for (i) expansion of existing operations; (ii) general corporate purposes, including working capital; and (iii) possible business acquisitions. As of December 31, 2010, we had no third party debt and had working capital of approximately $26.1 million as compared to working capital of approximately $32.6 million at December 31, 2009. The reduction in working capital is primarily due to purchases of long term investments amounting to $5.0 million in 2010. We do not anticipate any near-term
liquidity issues. Cash balances are held at leading commercial banks in bank deposits.





Our quarterly operating results are also subject to certain seasonal fluctuations. We generally experience lower revenue in the first quarter as we replace projects that were brought to an end in the fourth quarter and we begin new projects, which may have some normal start-up delays during the first quarter. These and other seasonal factors may contribute to fluctuations in our results of operations from quarter to quarter.





Net Cash Provided By Operating Activities





Cash provided by our operating activities in 2010 was $4.9 million, resulting from a net loss of $0.7 million, adjustments for non-cash items of $2.4 million, and $3.2 million provided from working capital. Adjustments for non-cash items principally consisted of $3.7 million for depreciation and amortization, a $0.3 million reversal of a provision for doubtful accounts, primarily resulting from collection from one of our customers, for which we recorded a provision of $1.2 million in 2009, $1.4 million for a net change in deferred taxes and $0.4 million for pension costs. Working capital activities primarily consisted of a source of cash of $3.7 million as a
result of net payments on accounts receivable, a use of cash of $0.7 million for an increase in other assets, use of cash amounting to $0.4 million for decline in accounts payable, and a source of cash of $0.9 million for income and other taxes.





Cash provided by our operating activities in 2009 was $12.1 million, resulting from net income of $7.3 million, adjustments for non-cash items of $5.1 million and $0.3 million used for working capital. Adjustments for non-cash items principally consisted of $3.7 million for depreciation and amortization, a $1.4 million provision for doubtful accounts, of which $1.2 million was recorded for one customer and the remaining $0.2 million from our other customers, $0.6 million for a net change in deferred taxes and $0.2 million for pension costs. Working capital activities primarily consisted of a source of cash of $0.9 million as a result of payment on accounts
receivable, a use of cash of $0.4 million for an increase in prepaid expenses and other current assets, representing various prepayments made, and timing of payment, and a use of cash amounting to $0.6 million in income and other taxes, and payment of accrued salaries, wages and other benefits.





Cash provided by our operating activities in 2008 was $4.5 million, resulting from a net income of $6.7 million, adjustments for non-cash items of $2.0 million and $4.2 million used for working capital. Adjustments for non-cash items primarily consisted of $3.7 million for depreciation and amortization, $2.7 million for deferred taxes primarily resulting from a reversal of a valuation allowance for the U.S. entity amounting to $2.4 million and $0.4 million for pension costs. Working capital activities primarily consisted of a use of cash of $3.7 million for an increase in accounts receivable primarily related to an increase in revenue, and use of cash of $0.6
million representing a decline in accounts payable, and accrued expenses representing the timing of expenditures and payments.





At December 31, 2010, our days’ sales outstanding were approximately 61 days as compared to 61 days as of December 31, 2009 and 62 days as of December 31, 2008.


29





Net Cash Used in Investing Activities





During 2010, 2009 and 2008, cash used in our investing activities was $1.9 million, $2.2 million and $2.5 million, respectively, for capital expenditures. Capital expenditures in 2010 and 2009 related principally to the purchasing of routine technology equipment and software. Capital spending in 2008 related principally to the purchasing of routine technology equipment and facility upgrades. Furthermore, in 2008, we acquired certain computer and communications equipment approximating $0.1 million through finance leases (non-cash). During the next twelve months, we anticipate that capital expenditures for ongoing technology, hardware, equipment and infrastructure
upgrades will approximate $2.5 to $3.5 million, a portion of which we may finance.





Net Cash Provided by (Used in) Financing Activities





Total payment of long term obligations approximated $0.7 million, $0.8 million and $1.1 million for 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively.  There were no stock options exercises during the year ended December 31, 2010. Cash from financing activities in 2009 was principally driven by employee stock option exercises. Cash proceeds received from the exercise of stock options amounted to approximately $3.5 million and $0.1 million in 2009 and 2008, respectively.





In March 2008, we renewed a vendor agreement, which had expired in February 2008, to acquire certain additional software licenses and to receive support and subsequent software upgrades on these and other currently owned software licenses through February 2011, for a total cost of approximately $1.7 million, representing a non-cash investing and financing activity. In conjunction with this agreement, we paid approximately $0.5 million in 2010 and $0.6 million, in each of 2009 and 2008.





In June 2010, we announced that our Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $2.1 million of our common stock. During the year ended December 31, 2010, we repurchased 264,000 shares of our common stock at a cost of approximately $0.8 million, at a volume-weighted average price of $2.89 per share. This authorization replaced a prior authorization made in May 2008, when we announced that our Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $2 million of our common stock. In 2008, we acquired approximately 606,000 shares of our common stock for approximately $1.9 million, at a volume-weighted average price of $3.08 per share. No shares were repurchased in 2009.





As we operate in a number of countries around the world, we face exposure to adverse movements in foreign currency exchange rates. These exposures may change over time as business practices evolve and may have a material adverse impact on our consolidated financial results. Our primary exposure relates to non-U.S. based operating expenses in Philippines, India and Israel. Our U.S. Corporate headquarters has historically funded expenditures for our foreign subsidiaries. We are exposed to foreign exchange risk and therefore we use foreign currency forward contracts to mitigate our exposure to fluctuating future cash flows arising from changes in foreign exchange
rates. We may continue to enter into these or other such instruments in the future, to reduce foreign currency exposure to appreciation or depreciation in the value of these foreign currencies.





Other than the aforementioned forward contracts, we have not engaged in any hedging activities nor have we entered into off-balance sheet transactions, arrangements or other relationships with unconsolidated entities or other persons that are likely to affect liquidity or the availability of our requirements for capital resources.





Future Liquidity and Capital Resource Requirements





We have a $7.0 million line of credit pursuant to which we may borrow up to 80% of eligible accounts receivable. Borrowings under the credit line bear interest at the bank’s alternate base rate plus 0.5% or LIBOR plus 2.5%. The line, which expires in June 2011, is collateralized by our accounts receivable. We have no outstanding obligations under this credit line as of December 31, 2010.


30





We believe that our existing cash and cash equivalents, short term and long term investments, funds generated from our operating activities and funds available under our credit facility will provide sufficient sources of liquidity to satisfy our financial needs for the next twelve months. However, if circumstances change, we may need to raise debt or additional equity capital in the future. We have historically funded our foreign expenditures from our U.S. Corporate headquarters on an as-needed basis.





Contractual Obligations

Inflation, Seasonality and Prevailing Economic Conditions





Our most significant costs are the salaries and related benefits of our employees in Asia. We are exposed to higher inflation in wage rates in the countries in which we operate.  We generally perform work for our clients under project-specific contracts, requirements-based contracts or long-term contracts. We must adequately anticipate wage increases, particularly on our fixed-price contracts. There can be no assurance that we will be able to recover cost increases through increases in the prices that we charge for our services to our customers.





Our quarterly operating results are subject to certain fluctuations.  We experience fluctuations in our revenue and earnings as we replace and begin new projects, which may have some normal start-up delays, or we may be unable to replace a project entirely.These and other factors may contribute to fluctuations in our operating results from quarter to quarter. In addition, as some of our Asian facilities are closed during holidays in the fourth quarter, we typically incur higher wages, due to overtime, that reduce our margins.


31





Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates





Basis of Presentation and Use of Estimates





Our discussion and analysis of our results of operations, liquidity and capital resources are based on our consolidated financial statements which have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates and judgments, including those related to revenue recognition, allowance for doubtful accounts and billing adjustments,
long-lived assets, goodwill, valuation of deferred tax assets, value of securities underlying stock-based compensation, litigation accruals, pension benefits, valuation of derivative instruments and estimated accruals for various tax exposures. We base our estimates on historical and anticipated results and trends and on various other assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, including assumptions as to future events. These estimates form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. By their nature, estimates are subject to an inherent degree of uncertainty. Actual results may differ from our estimates and could have a significant adverse effect on our consolidated results of operations and financial position. We believe the following critical accounting policies affect our
more significant estimates and judgments in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements.





Allowance for Doubtful Accounts





We establish credit terms for new clients based upon management’s review of their credit information and project terms, and perform ongoing credit evaluations of our clients, adjusting credit terms when management believes appropriate, based upon payment history and an assessment of their current credit worthiness.  We record an allowance for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of our clients to make required payments.  We determine this allowance by considering a number of factors, including the length of time trade accounts receivable are past due, our previous loss history, our estimate of the
client’s current ability to pay its obligation to us, and the condition of the general economy and the industry as a whole.  While credit losses have generally been within expectations and the provisions established, we cannot guarantee that credit loss rates in the future will be consistent with those experienced in the past.  In addition, we will have credit exposure if the financial condition of one of our major clients were to deteriorate.  In the event that the financial condition of our clients were to deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments, additional allowances may be necessary.





Revenue Recognition





Revenue is recognized in the period in which services are performed and delivery has occurred and when all the criteria of Staff Accounting Bulletin 104 have been met.





Revenues for contracts billed on a time-and-materials basis are recognized as services are performed. Revenues under fixed-fee contracts are recognized on a percentage-of-completion method of accounting as services are performed or milestones are achieved. Revenues from fixed-fee projects accounted for less than 10% of our total revenue for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2010.Certain reimbursable expenses incurred on behalf of customers are recorded on a net basis in revenues.





Long-lived Assets





We assess the recoverability of our long-lived assets, which consist primarily of fixed assets and intangible assets with finite useful lives, whenever events or changes in circumstance indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. The following factors, if present, may trigger an impairment  review:  (i)  significant underperformance  relative  to  expected historical  or  projected  future  operating  results; (ii) significant negative industry  or  economic  trends; (iii) significant decline in our stock price for  a  sustained  period;  and 
(iv)  a  change  in our market capitalization relative to net book value. If the recoverability of these assets is unlikely because of the existence of one or more of the above-mentioned factors, we perform an impairment analysis using a projected discounted cash flow method. We must make assumptions regarding estimated future cash flows and other factors to determine the fair value of these respective assets. If these estimates or related assumptions change in the future, we may be required to record an impairment charge. Impairment charges would be included in general and administrative expenses in our statements of operations, and would result in reduced carrying amounts of the related assets on our balance sheets. We did not recognize an impairment in any of our long-lived
assets during each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2010.


32





Income Taxes





We determine our deferred taxes based on the difference between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities, using enacted tax rates, as well as any net operating loss or tax credit carryforwards expected to reduce taxes payable in future years.  We provide a valuation allowance when it is more likely than not that all or some portion of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.  While we consider future taxable income in assessing the need for the valuation allowance, in the event we were to determine that we would be able to realize the deferred tax assets in the future in excess of its net recorded amount, an
adjustment to the deferred tax assets would increase income in the period such determination was made. Similarly, in the event we were to determine that we would not be able to realize the deferred tax assets in the future considering the future taxable income, an adjustment to the deferred tax assets would decrease income in the period such determination was made. Change in valuation allowance from period to period is included in our tax provision in the period of change. We had previously recorded a deferred tax liability on approximately $5.1 million of foreign earnings, which represents a portion of foreign profits earned prior to 2002. In 2009, we made a reassessment on the remittances of such foreign earnings and determined that these earnings will be indefinitely reinvested in our foreign subsidiaries. Beginning in 2002, unremitted earnings of foreign subsidiaries have been
included in the consolidated financial statements without giving effect to the United States taxes that may be payable on distribution to the United States because such earnings are not anticipated to be remitted to the United States.





In addition we have provided for an accrual for potential tax obligations resulting from income tax audits and other potential tax obligations.





We account for income taxes regarding uncertain tax positions, and recognize interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions in income tax expense in our consolidated statement of operations.





Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets





We test goodwill annually for impairment using a two-step fair value based test.  The first step of the goodwill impairment test, used to identify potential impairment, compares the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount, including goodwill. If the carrying amount of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, the second step of the goodwill impairment test must be performed to measure the amount of the impairment loss, if any. If impairment is determined, we will recognize additional charges to operating expenses in the period in which they are identified, which would result in a reduction of operating results and a reduction in the amount
of goodwill. Our most recent test for impairment was conducted as of September 30, 2010, in which the estimated fair values of the reporting unit exceeded its carrying amount, including goodwill.  As such, no impairment was identified or recorded.





Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation





We are authorized to grant stock options to officers, directors and employees of the Company under various Stock Option Plans approved by stockholders.





We measure and recognize stock-based compensation expense for all share-based payment awards made to employees and directors based on estimated fair value at the grant date and is recognized over the requisite service period. Determining the fair value of stock-based awards at the grant date requires judgment, including estimating the expected term of stock options and the expected volatility of our stock. The fair value is determined using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. We recorded stock-based compensation expense of approximately $0.3 million, $0.2 million and $0.2 million for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively.


33





Legal Proceedings





We are subject to various legal proceedings and claims which arise in the ordinary course of business.    Our legal reserves related to these proceedings and claims are based on a determination of whether or not a loss is probable. We review outstanding claims and proceedings with external counsel to assess probability and estimates of loss. The reserves are adjusted if necessary. If circumstances change, we may be required to record adjustments that could be material to our reported financial condition and results of operations.





Pensions





Most of our non-U.S. subsidiaries provide for government mandated defined pension benefits covering those employees who meet certain eligibility requirements. Pension assumptions are significant inputs to actuarial models that measure pension benefit obligations and related effects on operations. Two critical assumptions – discount rate and rate of increase in compensation levels – are important elements of plan expense and asset/liability measurements. These critical assumptions are evaluated at least annually on a plan and a country specific basis. Other assumptions involving demographic factors such as retirement age, mortality and turnover are evaluated periodically and are updated to reflect
actual experience and expectations for the future. Actual results in any given year will often differ from actuarial assumptions because of economic and other factors, and in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, the impact of these differences are accumulated and amortized over future periods.




Recent Accounting Pronouncements




In October 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued an amendment to its accounting guidance on revenue arrangements with multiple deliverables. This new accounting guidance addresses the unit of accounting for arrangements involving multiple deliverables and how consideration should be allocated to separate units of accounting, when applicable. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have an impact on our consolidated financial
statements.




In January 2010, the FASB issued an amendment regarding improving disclosures about fair value measurements. This new guidance requires some new disclosures and clarifies some existing disclosure requirements about fair value measurement. The new disclosures and clarifications of existing disclosures are effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009, except for the disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances and settlements in the roll forward of activity in Level 3 fair value measurements. Those disclosures are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010 and for interim periods within those fiscal years. The adoption of this guidance did not
have any impact on our consolidated financial statements.




Item 7A.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.




Interest rate risk





We are exposed to interest rate change market risk with respect to our credit line with a financial institution which is priced based on the bank’s alternate base rate (3.25% at December 31, 2010) plus 0.5% or LIBOR (0.26% at December 31, 2010) plus 2.5%.  We have not borrowed under this line in 2010.  We plan on renewing the line of credit in the second quarter of 2011. To the extent we utilize all or a portion of this line of credit, changes in the interest rate will have a positive or negative effect on our interest expense.


34





Foreign currency risk





We have operations in several international markets that subject us to foreign currency fluctuations. Although the majority of our contracts are denominated in U.S. dollars, a substantial portion of the costs incurred to render services under these contracts is incurred in the local currencies of several international markets where we carry on our operations. Our significant operations are based in the Philippines, India and Israel where revenues are generated in U.S. dollars and the corresponding expenses are generated in Philippine pesos, Indian rupees and Israeli shekels.





To mitigate the exposure of fluctuating future cash flows due to changes in foreign exchange rates, we entered into foreign currency forward contracts. These foreign currency forward contracts were entered into with a maximum term of twelve months and have an aggregate notional amount of approximately $28.0 million as of December 31, 2010. We may continue to enter into these or other such instruments in the future to reduce foreign currency exposure to appreciation or depreciation in the value of these foreign currencies. The total notional amount outstanding is net of offsetting forward contracts entered into by the Company in the fourth quarter of 2010, which have a total notional amount of $2 million.
These forward contracts were entered into by the Company primarily to protect the future cash flows from any adverse movements in the currency. We may continue to enter into such instruments, or other instruments, in the future to reduce foreign currency exposure to appreciation or depreciation in the value of these foreign currencies.





The impact of foreign currency fluctuations will continue to present economic challenges to us and could negatively impact our overall results of operations. A 10% appreciation in the U.S. dollar’s value relating to the hedged currencies would decrease the forward contracts’ fair value by approximately $2.5 million as of December 31, 2010. Similarly, a 10% depreciation in the U.S. dollar’s value relative to the hedged currencies would increase the forward contracts’ fair value by approximately $3.1 million as of December 31, 2010. Any increase or decrease in the fair value of our currency exchange rate sensitive forward contracts, if utilized, would be substantially offset by a
corresponding decrease or increase in the fair value of the hedged underlying cash flows.





Other than the aforementioned forward contracts, we have not engaged in any hedging activities nor have we entered into off-balance sheet transactions or arrangements.





As of December 31, 2010, our foreign locations held cash and short term and long term investments totaling approximately $14.4 million.

Item 9A.  Controls and Procedures.





Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures




We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.




35




Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined under Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e). Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of December 31, 2010, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.





Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting





There have been no changes in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) or 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the last fiscal quarter to which this report relates that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.




Report of Management on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting




Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting for the Company. Internal control over financial reporting is a process to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of our financial reporting for external purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Internal control over financial reporting includes maintaining records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect our transactions; providing reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary for preparation of our financial statements; providing reasonable assurance that receipts and expenditures of
company assets are made in accordance with management authorization; and providing reasonable assurance that unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of company assets that could have a material effect on our financial statements would be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting is not intended to provide absolute assurance that a misstatement of our financial statements would be prevented or detected.





Management conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on the framework in Internal Control – Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on this evaluation, management concluded that the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2010.





The effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2010, was audited by J.H. Cohn LLP, our independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in their report appearing below, which expressed an unqualified opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2010.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM





The Board of Directors and Stockholders of Innodata Isogen, Inc.:





We have audited Innodata Isogen, Inc. and Subsidiaries (“Innodata”) internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2010, based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Innodata’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting included in the accompanying Report of Management on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the effectiveness of Innodata’s internal control over
financial reporting based on our audit.





We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, evaluating management’s assessment, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk and performing such other procedures as we consider necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit
provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.





A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.





Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.





In our opinion, the Company has maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2010 based on the COSO criteria.





We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2010 and the related financial statement schedule, of Innodata Isogen, Inc. and Subsidiaries and our report dated February 28, 2011, expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM


The Board of Directors and Stockholders of Innodata Isogen, Inc.:





We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Innodata Isogen, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2010. Our audits of the  consolidated financial statements included the financial statement schedule listed in the index appearing under Item 15. These consolidated financial statements and financial statement schedule are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements and financial statement schedule based on our
audits.





We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.





In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Innodata Isogen, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, and their results of operations and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2010, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Also, in our opinion, the related financial statement schedule, when considered in relation to the basic consolidated financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly, in all material respects, the information set forth therein.





We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), Innodata Isogen Inc. and Subsidiaries’ internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2010 based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organization of the Treadway Commission (COSO) and our report dated February 28, 2011, expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS





1.
Description of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies





Description of Business-Innodata Isogen, Inc. and Subsidiaries (the “Company”), is a leading provider of publishing and related information technology services, as well as knowledge process outsourcing (“KPO”) services, that help leading media, publishing and information services companies create, manage and distribute their products. Publishing services include digitization, conversion, composition, data modeling and XML encoding, and KPO services include research and analysis, authoring, copy-editing, abstracting, indexing and other content creation activities. The Company’s
staff of IT systems professionals design, implements, integrates and deploys systems and technologies used to improve the efficiency of authoring, managing and distributing content.





Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation-The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Innodata Isogen, Inc. and its subsidiaries, all of which are wholly owned. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.





Use of Estimates-In preparing financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and the 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. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates include those related to revenue recognition, allowance for doubtful accounts and billing adjustments,
long-lived assets, goodwill, valuation of deferred tax assets, value of securities underlying stock-based compensation, litigation accruals, pension benefits, valuation of derivative instruments and estimated accruals for various tax exposures.





Revenue Recognition-Revenue is recognized in the period in which services are performed and delivery has occurred and when all the criteria of Staff Accounting Bulletin 104 have been met.





Revenues for contracts billed on a time-and-materials basis are recognized as services are performed. Revenues under fixed-fee contracts are recognized on a percentage-of-completion method of accounting as services are performed or milestones are achieved. Revenues from fixed-fee projects accounted for less than 10% of the Company’s total revenue for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2010.Certain reimbursable expenses incurred on behalf of customers are recorded on a net basis in revenues.





Foreign Currency Translation-The functional currency for the Company’s production operations located in the Philippines, India, Sri Lanka and Israel is U.S. dollars.  As such, transactions denominated in Philippine pesos, Indian and Sri Lankan rupees and Israeli shekels were translated to U.S. dollars at rates which approximate those in effect on transaction dates. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at December 31, 2010 and 2009 were translated at the exchange rate in effect as of those dates. Nonmonetary assets, liabilities, and stockholders’ equity are
translated at the appropriate historical rates. Included in direct operating costs are exchange losses (gains) resulting from such transactions of approximately $414,000, $256,000 and $(190,000) for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively.





Derivative Instruments- The Company has designated its derivative (foreign currency forward contracts) as a cash flow hedge. Accordingly, the effective portion of the derivative’s gain or loss is initially reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income or loss, and is subsequently reclassified to earnings when the hedge exposure affects earnings. The Company formally documents all relationships between hedging instruments and hedged items, as well as its risk management objective and strategy for undertaking various hedging activities.





Cash Equivalents-For financial statement purposes (including cash flows), the Company considers all highly liquid instruments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.


F-7





INNODATA ISOGEN, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES


NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS





Investments-Short term and long term investments consist of certificates of deposits.





Property and Equipment-Property and equipment are stated at cost and are depreciated on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets, which is generally two to five years.  Leasehold improvements are amortized on a straight-line basis over the shorter of their estimated useful lives or the lives of the leases. Certain assets under capital leases are amortized over the lives of the respective leases or the estimated useful lives of the assets, whichever is shorter.





Long-lived Assets-Management assesses the recoverability of its long-lived assets, which consist primarily of fixed assets and intangible assets with finite useful lives, whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. The following factors, if present, may trigger an impairment review:  (i)  significant  underperformance  relative to expected historical  or  projected  future  operating  results; (ii) significant negative industry  or  economic  trends; (iii) significant decline in
the Company’s stock price for a sustained period; and (iv) a change in the Company’s market capitalization relative to net book value. If the recoverability of these assets is unlikely because of the existence of one or more of the above-mentioned factors, an impairment analysis is performed, initially using a projected undiscounted cash flow method.  Management must make assumptions regarding estimated future cash flows and other factors to determine the fair value of these respective assets. If these estimates or related assumptions change in the future, the Company may be required to record an impairment charge. Impairment charges, which would be based on discounted cash flows, would be included in general and administrative 
expenses in the Company’s statements of operations, and would result in reduced carrying amounts of the related assets on the Company’s balance sheets. No impairment charges were recorded in the three years ended December 31, 2010.





Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets-Goodwill represents the excess purchase price paid over the fair value of net assets acquired. The Company tests its goodwill on an annual basis using a two-step fair value based test. The first step of the goodwill impairment test, used to identify potential impairment, compares the fair value of a reporting unit, with its carrying amount, including goodwill. If the carrying amount of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, the second step of the goodwill impairment test must be performed to measure the amount of the impairment loss, if any. If impairment is determined,
the Company will recognize additional charges to operating expenses in the period in which they are identified, which would result in a reduction of operating results and a reduction in the amount of goodwill.





In the annual impairment test conducted by the Company as of September 30, 2010, 2009 and 2008 the estimated fair values of the reporting unit exceeded its carrying amount, including goodwill. As such, no impairment was identified or recorded.





Income Taxes-Deferred taxes are determined based on the difference between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities, using enacted tax rates, as well as any net operating loss or tax credit carryforwards expected to reduce taxes payable in future years.  A valuation allowance is provided when it is more likely than not that all or some portion of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. While the Company considers future taxable income in assessing the need for the valuation allowance, in the event that the Company determined that it would be able to realize the deferred
tax assets in the future in excess of its net recorded amount, an adjustment to the deferred tax assets would increase income in the period such determination was made. Similarly, in the event that the Company determined that it would not be able to realize the deferred tax assets in the future considering future taxable income, an adjustment to the deferred tax assets would decrease income in the period such determination was made. Changes in valuation allowance from period to period are included in the Company’s tax provision in the period of change. The Company had previously recorded a deferred tax liability on approximately $5.1 million of foreign earnings, which represents a portion of foreign profits earned prior to 2002. In 2009, the Company made a reassessment on the remittances of such foreign earnings and determined that these earnings will be indefinitely reinvested in
its foreign subsidiaries. Beginning in 2002, unremitted earnings of foreign subsidiaries have been included in the consolidated financial statements without giving effect to the United States taxes that may be payable on distribution to the United States, because such earnings are not anticipated to be remitted to the United States.


F-8





INNODATA ISOGEN, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES


NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS





The Company accounts for income taxes regarding uncertain tax positions, and recognizes interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions in income tax expense in the consolidated statements of operations.





Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation– The Company measures and recognizes stock-based compensation expense for all share-based payment awards made to employees and directors based on estimated fair value at the grant date. The stock-based compensation expense is recognized over the requisite service period. The fair value is determined using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model.





The stock-based compensation expense related to the Company’s various stock option plans was allocated as follows (in thousands):

Fair Value of Financial Instruments- The carrying amounts of financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximated their fair value as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, because of the relative short maturity of these instruments.





Fair value measurements and disclosures define fair value as the price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date.





The accounting standard establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value into three levels. The three levels are defined as follows:





·
Level 1: Unadjusted quoted price in active market for identical assets and liabilities.


·
Level 2: Observable inputs other than those included in Level 1.


·
Level 3: Unobservable inputs reflecting management’s own assumptions about the inputs used in pricing the asset or liability.





Accounts Receivable-The majority of the Company’s accounts receivable are due from secondary publishers and information providers.  The Company establishes credit terms for new clients based upon management’s review of their credit information and project terms, and performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers, adjusting credit terms when management believes appropriate based upon payment history and an assessment of their current creditworthiness.  The Company records an allowance for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of its clients to
make required payments.  The Company determines its allowance by considering a number of factors, including the length of time trade accounts receivable are past due (accounts outstanding longer than the payment terms are considered past due), the Company’s previous loss history, the client’s current ability to pay its obligation to the Company, and the condition of the general economy and the industry as a whole.  While credit losses have generally been within expectations and the provisions established, the Company cannot guarantee that credit loss rates in the future will be consistent with those experienced in the past.  In addition, there is credit exposure if the financial condition of one of the Company’s major clients were to deteriorate.  In the event that the financial condition of one of the Company’s clients
were to deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments, additional allowances may be necessary.


F-9





INNODATA ISOGEN, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES


NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS





Concentration of Credit Risk-The Company maintains its cash with high quality financial institutions, located primarily in the United States.  To the extent that such cash exceeds the maximum insurance levels, the Company would be uninsured.  The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts.





Income (Loss)per Share- Basic income (loss) per share is computed using the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the year. Diluted income (loss) per share is computed by considering the impact of the potential issuance of common shares, using the treasury stock method, on the weighted average number of shares outstanding.





Pension-The Company records annual pension costs based on calculations, which include various actuarial assumptions including discount rates, compensation increases and other assumptions involving demographic factors. The Company reviews its actuarial assumptions on an annual basis and makes modifications to the assumptions based on current rates and trends. The Company believes that the assumptions used in recording its pension obligations are reasonable based on its experience, market conditions and inputs from its actuaries.





Deferred revenue-Deferred revenue represents payments received from customers in advance of providing services and amounts deferred if conditions for revenue recognition have not been met. Included in accrued expenses on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2010 and 2009 is deferred revenue amounting to $0.8 million and $0.9 million, respectively.





Reclassifications-Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior year’s consolidated financial statements to conform to the current year’s presentation.




Recent Accounting Pronouncements-In October 2009, the FASB issued an amendment to its accounting guidance on revenue arrangements with multiple deliverables. This new accounting guidance addresses the unit of accounting for arrangements involving multiple deliverables and how consideration should be allocated to separate units of accounting, when applicable. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.




In January 2010, the FASB issued an amendment regarding improving disclosures about fair value measurements. This new guidance requires some new disclosures and clarifies some existing disclosure requirements about fair value measurement. The new disclosures and clarifications of existing disclosures are effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009, except for the disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances and settlements in the roll forward of activity in Level 3 fair value measurements. Those disclosures are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010 and for interim periods within those fiscal years. The adoption of this guidance did not
have any impact on the consolidated financial statements.

In assessing the realization of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that all or some portion of the deferred tax assets will not be realizable.  The ultimate realization of the deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which temporary differences are deductible and net operating losses are available. In 2008, the Company considered many factors when assessing the likelihood of future realization of the deferred tax assets, including the Company’s cumulative earnings, expectation of future taxable income, the carryforward periods available for tax
reporting purposes, and other relevant factors. Based upon management’s assessment and the available evidence, in 2008 the Company reversed the entire portion of the valuation allowance previously recorded on the U.S. portion of deferred tax assets, resulting in a non-cash tax benefit amounting to $2.4 million. The decline in valuation allowance in 2008 also resulted from the utilization of net operating losses. The remaining valuation allowance at December 31, 2009 represents the portion the Company has established deferred tax assets on its foreign subsidiaries. At December 31, 2010, the Company had no valuation allowance on deferred tax assets of its foreign subsidiaries.





The Company had previously recorded a deferred tax liability on approximately $5.1 million of foreign earnings, which it intended to remit to the U.S.These earnings represent a portion of the Company’s foreign profits earned prior to 2002. In 2009, the Company made a reassessment on the remittances of such foreign earnings and determined that these earnings will be indefinitely reinvested in its foreign subsidiaries. As a result of the change in assertion, the Company reduced its deferred tax liabilities related to undistributed foreign earnings by approximately $2.0 million. Beginning in
2002, unremitted earnings of foreign subsidiaries have been included in the consolidated financial statements without giving effect to the United States taxes that may be payable on distribution to the United States, because such earnings are not anticipated to be remitted to the United States. Undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries amount to $19.0 million at December 31, 2010. These earnings are considered to be indefinitely reinvested, and accordingly, no provision for U.S. federal or state income taxes has been made.





The net change in the total valuation allowance for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008 was an increase (decline) of $(0.1) million, $0.1 million, $(3.7) million, respectively. The Company utilized approximately $5.8 million and $3.8 million of net operating loss carryforwards for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

Certain foreign subsidiaries enjoy tax holidays. Whereas the income tax holiday for one of the Company’s Philippine subsidiaries expired in May 2009 and the income tax holiday for one of the Indian subsidiaries expired in March 2009, one of the other foreign subsidiaries continued enjoying tax holiday benefits in 2010.Due to the tax holiday, the income tax rate for these subsidiaries was substantially reduced, the tax benefit from which was approximately $0.1 million, $0.2 million and $0.4 million for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2010, respectively. In
addition, certain of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries are subject to preferential tax rates.





At December 31, 2010, the Company had available U.S. federal and New Jersey state net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $8.8 million and $10.5 million, respectively. These net operating loss carryforwards expire at various times through 2030.  Stock option exercises resulted in tax deductions in excess of previously recorded benefits based on the option value at the time of grant (a “windfall”). Although these benefits were reflected in the net operating losses, the additional tax benefit associated with the windfall is not recognized until the deduction reduces taxes payable. Accordingly, since the tax benefit did not reduce the
current taxes payable due to net operating losses, these windfall tax benefits were not reflected in the deferred tax assets for 2010 and 2009. Windfalls included in net operating losses but not reflected in deferred tax assets as of December 31, 2010 were approximately $4.0 million.

The Company had unrecognized tax benefits of $1.8 million and $1.3 million at December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The portion of unrecognized tax benefits relating to interest and penalties was $0.4 million, each at December 31, 2010 and 2009. The unrecognized tax benefits as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, if recognized, would have an impact on the Company’s effective tax rate.

The Company is subject to U.S. federal income tax as well as income tax in various states and foreign jurisdictions. The Company is no longer subject to examination by federal and New Jersey taxing authorities for years prior to 2006. Various foreign subsidiaries currently have open tax years ranging from 2004 through 2009.





Pursuant to an income tax audit by the Indian Bureau of Taxation in March 2006, one of the Company’s Indian subsidiaries received a tax assessment approximating $339,000, including interest, through December 31, 2010, for the fiscal tax year ended March 31, 2003. Management disagreed with the basis of the tax assessment and filed an appeal with the Appeal Officer against the assessment. In October 2010, the matter was resolved with a judgment in the Company’s favor. Under the Indian Income Tax Act, however, the income tax assessing officer has a right to appeal against the judgment passed by the Appeal Officer. In December 2010, the income tax assessing officer exercised this right, against
which the Company has filed an application to defend the case and the Company intends to contest it vigorously. The Indian Bureau of Taxation has also completed an audit of the Company’s Indian subsidiary’s income tax return for the fiscal tax year ended March 31, 2004. The ultimate outcome was favorable, and there was no tax assessment imposed for the fiscal tax year ended March 31, 2004. As of December 31, 2008 and 2009, the Indian subsidiary received a final tax assessment for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2005 and 2006 from the Indian Bureau of Taxation approximating $340,000 and $319,000, respectively, including interest through December 31, 2010. Management disagrees with the basis of these tax assessments, have filed an appeal against the assessments, which it is contesting vigorously. As the Company is continually subject to tax
audits by the Indian Bureau of Taxation, the Company assessed the likelihood of an unfavorable assessment for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2007, and subsequent years for this subsidiary, and recorded an additional tax provision amounting to approximately $829,000 including interest through December 31, 2010. The Indian Bureau of Taxation commenced an audit of this subsidiary’s income tax return for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2008 and 2009. The ultimate outcome cannot be determined at this time.

Commitments and contingencies





Line of Credit- The Company has a $7.0 million line of credit pursuant to which it may borrow up to 80% of eligible accounts receivable. Borrowings under the credit line bear interest at the bank’s alternate base rate plus 0.5% or LIBOR plus 2.5%. The line, which expires in June 2011, is collateralized by the Company’s accounts receivable. The Company has no outstanding obligations under this credit line as of December 31, 2010.





Leases-The Company is obligated under various operating lease agreements for office and production space. Certain agreements contain escalation clauses and requirements that the Company pay taxes, insurance and maintenance costs. Company leases that include escalated lease payments are expensed on a straight-line basis over the non-cancelable base lease period.





Lease agreements for production space in most overseas facilities, which expire through 2030, contain provisions pursuant to which the Company may cancel the leases with a minimal notice period, generally subject to forfeiture of the security deposit. For each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2010, rent expense, principally for office and production space totaled approximately $3.0 million.

Litigation–The Supreme Court of the Republic of the Philippines has refused to review a decision of the Court of Appeals in Manila against a Philippines subsidiary of the Company that is inactive and has no material assets, and purportedly also against Innodata Isogen, Inc., that orders the reinstatement of certain former employees of the subsidiary to their former positions and also orders the payment of back wages and benefits that aggregate
approximately $7.5 million. Based on consultation with legal counsel, the Company believes that recovery against the Company is nevertheless unlikely.





The Company is also subject to various legal proceedings and claims which arise in the ordinary course of business.





While management currently believes that the ultimate outcome of these proceedings will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position or overall trends in results of operations, litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties. Substantial recovery against the Company in the above referenced Philippines actions could have a material adverse impact on the Company, and unfavorable rulings or recoveries in the other proceedings could have a material adverse impact on the operating results of the period in which the ruling or recovery occurs. In addition, the Company’s estimate of potential impact on the Company’s financial position or overall results of operations for the
above legal proceedings could change in the future.





Foreign Currency-The Company’s production facilities are located in the Philippines, India, Sri Lanka and Israel. To the extent that the currencies of these countries fluctuate, the Company is subject to risks of changing costs of production after pricing is established for certain customer projects.





Indemnifications-The Company is obligated under certain circumstances to indemnify directors, certain officers and employees against costs and liabilities incurred in actions or threatened actions brought against such individuals because such individuals acted in the capacity of director and/or officer or fiduciary of the Company. In addition, the Company has contracts with certain clients pursuant to whom the Company has agreed to indemnify the client for certain specified and limited claims. These indemnification obligations occur in the ordinary course of business and, in many cases do not include a limit on
potential maximum future payments. As of December 31, 2010, the Company has not recorded a liability for any obligations arising as a result of these indemnifications.





Liens-In connection with the procurement of tax incentives at one of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries, the foreign zoning authority was granted a first lien on the subsidiary’s property and equipment. As of December 31, 2010, the net book value of the property and equipment was $0.6 million.

Pension benefits





U.S. Defined Contribution Pension Plan -The Company has a defined contribution plan qualified under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code, pursuant to which substantially all of its U.S. employees are eligible to participate after completing six months of service. Participants may elect to contribute a portion of their compensation to the plan. Under the plan, the Company has the discretion to match a portion of participants’contributions. The Company intends to match approximately $0.1 million to the plan for the year ended
December 31, 2010.  For the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, the Company’s matching contributions were approximately $0.1 million.





Non-U.S. Pension benefits – The accounting standard for pensions requires an employer to recognize a net liability or asset and an offsetting adjustment to accumulated other comprehensive income to report the funded status of defined benefit pension and other post-retirement benefit plans.

Most of the non-U.S. subsidiaries provide for government mandated defined pension benefits.  For certain of these subsidiaries, vested eligible employees are provided a lump sum payment upon retiring from the Company at a defined age.  The lump sum amount is based on the salary and tenure as of retirement date. Other non-U.S subsidiaries provide for a lump sum payment to vested employees on retirement, death, incapacitation or termination of employment, based upon the salary and tenure as of the date employment ceases. The liability for such defined benefit obligations is determined and provided on the basis of actuarial valuations. As of
December 31, 2010, these plans are unfunded. Pension expense for foreign subsidiaries totaled approximately $0.4 million, $0.2 million and $0.4 million for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2010.

Restructuring Charges





As part of the overall cost reduction plan to reduce operating costs, in December 2008 the Company announced a restructuring plan that reduced its global work force by approximately 260 employees, the majority of whom were based in Asia. Most employees were terminated by December 31, 2008.





In connection with the restructuring, the Company recorded in 2008, a one-time charge of approximately $475,000 in the consolidated statement of operations for severance and other personnel-related expenses. Of the total restructuring charges, $255,000 was allocated to direct operating costs and $220,000 was allocated to selling and administrative expenses. As of December 31, 2008, the Company paid $265,000 of the total restructuring charges and paid the remaining balance of $210,000 in 2009.

Capital Stock





Common Stock -The Company is authorized to issue 75,000,000 shares of common stock. Each share of common stock has one vote. Subject to preferences that may be applicable to any outstanding shares of preferred stock, the holders of common stock are entitled to receive ratably such dividends, if any, as may be declared by the Board of Directors. No common stock dividends have been declared to date.





Preferred Stock –The Company is authorized to issue 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock.  The Board of Directors is authorized to fix the terms, rights, preferences and limitations of the preferred stock and to issue the preferred stock in series which differ as to their relative terms, rights, preferences and limitations.





Stockholder Rights Plan -On December 16, 2002, the Board of Directors adopted a Stockholder Rights Plan (“Rights Plan”) in which one right (“Right”) was declared as a dividend for each share of the Company’s common stock outstanding. The purpose of the plan is to deter a hostile takeover of the Company. Each Right entitles its holders to purchase, under certain conditions, one one-thousandth of a share of newly authorized Series C Participating Preferred Stock (“Preferred Stock”), with one one-thousandth of a share of Preferred Stock intended to be the
economic and voting equivalent of one share of the Company’s common stock. Rights will be exercisable only if a person or group acquires beneficial ownership of 15% (25% in the case of specified executive officers of the Company) or more of the Company’s common stock or commences a tender or exchange offer, upon the consummation of which such person or group would beneficially own such percentage of the common stock. Upon such an event, the Rights enable dilution of the acquiring person’s or group’s interest by providing that other holders of the Company’s common stock may purchase, at an exercise price of $4.00, the Company’s common stock having a market value of $8.00 based on the then market price of the Company’s common stock, or at the discretion of the Board of Directors, Preferred Stock, having double the value of such exercise price. The
Company will be entitled to redeem the Rights at $.001 per Right under certain circumstances set forth in the Rights Plan. The Rights themselves have no voting power and will expire on December 26, 2012, unless earlier exercised, redeemed or exchanged.





Common Stock Reserved -As of December 31, 2010, the Company had reserved for issuance approximately 3,698,000 shares of common stock pursuant to the Company’s stock option plans.





Treasury Stock -In June 2010, the Company announced that the Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $2.1 million of its common stock. There is no expiration date associated with the program. During the year ended December 31, 2010, the Company repurchased 264,000 shares of its common stock at a cost of approximately $0.8 million. Approximately $1.3 million remains available for repurchase under the program as of December 31, 2010. This authorization replaced a prior authorization made in May 2008.

Stock Options





The Company adopted, with stockholder approval, the Innodata Isogen, Inc. 2009 Stock Plan (the “2009 Plan”). The maximum number of shares of common stock that may be delivered under the 2009 Plan is (i) 1,000,000 shares of common stock, plus (ii) 835,834, shares of common stock that were available for issuance under the Company’s 2001 and 2002 Stock Option Plans (the “Prior Plans”) as of the effective date of the 2009 Plan, plus (iii) any shares subject to an award or portion of any award under the Prior Plans that were outstanding as of the effective date of the 2009 Plan that expire or terminate unexercised, become unexercisable or are forfeited or otherwise terminated, surrendered
or canceled as to any shares without the delivery of shares of common stock or other consideration, subject to adjustment for certain specified changes to the Company's capital structure. No further grants may be made under the Prior Plans.





All directors, officers and other employees, and other persons who provide services to the Company, are eligible to participate in the 2009 Plan. The 2009 Plan provides for the grants of stock options (which may be incentive stock options within the meaning of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or non-qualified stock options). The stock options granted may have a maximum term of up to ten years. The 2009 Plan also provides for awards of stock appreciation rights, restricted stock awards, stock units and performance grants.

The Company’s Board of Directors may amend, alter, suspend, discontinue, or terminate the 2009 Plan or any portion thereof at any time; provided that no such amendment, alteration, suspension, discontinuation or termination shall be made without stockholder approval, if such approval is necessary to comply with any tax or regulatory requirement applicable to the 2009 Plan; and provided further that any such amendment, alteration, suspension, discontinuance or termination that would impair the rights of any participant or any holder or beneficiary of any award theretofore granted shall not to that extent be effective without the consent of the affected participant, holder or beneficiary. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the Board of Directors may unilaterally amend the 2009 Plan and outstanding awards without participant consent, as it deems necessary or appropriate, to ensure compliance with applicable securities laws and provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986.





The fair value of stock options is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The weighted average fair values of the options granted and weighted average assumptions are as follows:

The Company estimates the risk-free interest rate using the U.S. Treasury yield curve for periods equal to the expected term of the options in effect at the time of grant. The expected term of options granted is based on a combination of vesting schedules, term of the options and historical experience. Expected volatility is based on historical volatility of the Company’s common stock. The Company uses an expected dividend yield of zero since it has never declared or paid any dividends on its capital stock.

The total compensation cost related to non-vested stock options not yet recognized as of December 31, 2010 totaled approximately $1.0 million.  The weighted-average period over which these costs will be recognized is thirty-seven months.





Because of the Company’s net operating loss carryforwards, no tax benefits resulting from the exercise of stock options have been recorded, thus there was no effect on cash flows from operating or financing activities.





No options were exercised during the year ended December 31, 2010. The total intrinsic value of options exercised during the year ended December 31, 2009 and 2008 was approximately $4.0 million and $0.1 million, respectively. The total fair value of stock options vested during the year ended December 31, 2010 was $0.1 million.





In March 2010, the Compensation Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors approved the issuance of 40,000 restricted shares to the Chief Financial Officer, which vest over four years. No restricted shares vested as of December 31, 2010. The weighted average grant date fair value of the restricted shares was $0.2 million.





In July 2010, the Compensation Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors approved the issuance of 100,000 performance-based stock option awards. These awards vest upon attainment of certain financial performance targets for 2010, as established by management. As of December 31, 2010, no stock-based compensation expense associated with such grant was recorded, as the performance targets are not likely to be met.

Basic income (loss) per share is computed using the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the year. Diluted income (loss) per share is computed by considering the impact of the potential issuance of common shares, using the treasury stock method, on the weighted average number of shares outstanding.





Options to purchase 0.4 million and 1.1 million shares of common stock in 2010 and 2008, respectively, were outstanding but not included in the computation of diluted income (loss) per share because the options’ exercise price was greater than the average market price of the common shares and therefore, the effect would have been antidilutive. All options outstanding were included in the computation of diluted net income (loss) per share in 2009 as the exercise price was lower than the average market price. In addition, diluted net loss per share in 2010 does not include 1.8 million potential common
shares derived from the exercise of stock options because as a result of the Company incurring losses, their effect would have been antidilutive.

Derivatives





The Company has a large portion of its operations in international markets that subject it to foreign currency fluctuations. The most significant foreign currency exposures occur when revenue and associated accounts receivable are collected in one currency and expenses incurred in order to generate that revenue are accounted for in another currency. The Company’s primary exchange rate exposure relates to payroll, other payroll costs and operating expenses in the Philippines, India and Israel.





To manage its exposure to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, the Company entered into foreign currency forward contracts, authorized under Company policies, with counterparties that were highly rated financial institutions. The Company utilized non-deliverable forward contracts expiring within twelve months to reduce its foreign currency risk.





The Company formally documents all relationships between hedging instruments and hedged items, as well as its risk management objective and strategy for undertaking hedge transactions. The Company does not hold or issue derivatives for trading purposes. All derivatives are recognized at their fair value and are classified based on the instrument’s maturity date. The total notional amount for outstanding derivatives as of December 31, 2010 and 2009 was $28 million and $36 million, respectively, which is comprised of cash flow hedges denominated in U.S. dollars. The total notional amount outstanding as of December 31, 2010, is net of offsetting forward contracts entered into by the Company in the fourth
quarter of 2010, which have a total notional amount of $2 million. These forward contracts were entered into by the Company primarily to protect future cash flows from any adverse movements in currency.
