DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS.GENERAL We deliver content manufacturing and XML- related digital asset services toonline information providers and companies in the telecommunications,technology, healthcare, defense, and Internet commerce sectors. We have over 100active clients, including Amazon.com, Dow Jones & Company, Lockheed MartinCorporation, ProQuest Company, Reed Elsevier, Reuters, Simon & Schuster, TheThomson Corporation, and Wolters Kluwer. We operate through three divisions. Our Content Division aggregates,converts, tags and editorially enhances digital content - services we refer tocollectively as "content manufacturing" services. We offer content manufacturingservices as a comprehensive outsourcing solution and individually as discreteactivities. The Content Division also transforms data to Extensible MarkupLanguage (XML). Our Systems Division offers system design, custom applicationdevelopment, consulting services, and systems integration conforming to XML andrelated standards. Our Training Division provides a broad range of introductoryas well as advanced curricula and training on XML and other knowledge managementstandards. Our content manufacturing clients often have time-critical outsourcingneeds, with content that requires regular updating or enhancement. We typicallyservice these needs through multi-year contracts or relationships.Substantially all of our 2002 revenue was derived from clients that used ourservices for more than one year, and approximately 70% of our 2002 revenue wasderived from clients that used our services more than two years. Our XML transformation clients typically engage us to assist in buildingnew, large-scale XML-compliant information repositories or in transforminglarge-scale legacy electronic information repositories to XML-compliantinformation repositories. Our XML Content Factory is the largest dedicatedfactory purpose-built to create XML content. We are headquartered in Hackensack, New Jersey and have two other officesin North America, seven production facilities in the Philippines, India, and SriLanka, and a technology development center in India. Our largest productionfacility is the XML Content Factory, in Mandaue, the Philippines. Our wide area network and communications systems enable multiple production processes to beperformed simultaneously at various of our production facilities. We use server-based information technology to operate through a structuredworkflow using advanced tools. We drive efficiency and quality by using advancedmanufacturing and management techniques including total quality management andstatistical process control.Content Manufacturing and Outsourcing By capitalizing on the benefits of our scale and specialization, we aim tobe a strategic long-term provider of comprehensive content manufacturingservices that complement our customers' in-house capabilities and enable them torespond to market challenges. Our business strategy is to expand our client baseand enhance our service offerings in this area. A critical component of our content manufacturing and outsourcing servicesis the conversion of hardcopy and paper collections and legacy-formatted data toa variety of output formats including XML and XML derivatives, HTML, SGML, OpeneBook (OeB), Microsoft Reader (.LIT), Rocket eBook (.RB), and PDF. For thispurpose, we use high-speed scanning; a variety of commercial and proprietaryOCR/ICR (optical/intelligent character recognition) applications; structuredworkflow processes; and proprietary applications and tools designed to createaccurate, consistent markup and data. We use proprietary technology for dataenhancement and validation, and create automated procedures - utilizing industrystandards-aware software tools such as Omnimark, XMetaL, Epic, etc. - to ensurevalidated SGML and XML markup. Another critical component of our content manufacturing and outsourcingservices is the enhancement of content. Our engineers and programmers developcustom conversion filters and parsers for this purpose. Our subject matterexperts in fields such as law, education, science, medicine, and engineeringprovide taxonomy and controlled vocabulary development, hyperlinking, tagging,general editorial services, and indexing and abstracting. We typically price our services on a resource-utilization basis orquantity-delivered basis.XML Transformation Content publishers seek to migrate to XML-based publishing systems in orderto save money and save time by creating a single data store from which to createmultiple information products (as opposed to having to build a separate datastore for each information product). In addition, publishers who maintain theircontent in XML can syndicate content and spontaneously synthesize data intointeractive "web services." XML content transformation is the prerequisite forcontent owners to accomplish these outcomes. To transform content to XML, tags are inserted within the content to givethe content meaning which computers can read. Our proprietary technologyincludes production-grade, auto-tagging applications that utilize patternrecognition based on comprehensive rule sets and heuristic online databases. Thetechnology enables mass creation or conversion of XML content from complex,unstructured information. We also translate desktop publishing documents (QuarkXPress, PDF, MS Word,etc.) to XML variants, from which we generate multiple file formats (HTML, OeB,PDF, proprietary eBook formats, etc.) to support multiple channels ofdistribution. We typically price these services based on units of data produced ortransformed.XML Systems and Training Clients who use our XML systems engineering and consulting servicestypically require publishing systems or performance support / process automationsystems that enable multiple authors to collaborate on content and enablemultiple products to be generated from single-source XML assemblies. Our SystemsDivision provides full-service consulting and information system design andsystems integration to configure, improve, and validate these and other softwaresystems and technologies. Services are provided in ISO, IEC, ANSI, IETF, and W3Cstandards. Our Training Division provides clients with professional training, courseware, and briefings in XML and other formal public standards. We typically price these services on a fixed-fee turnkey basis.BUSINESS STRATEGY We seek to capitalize on the increased willingness of companies in ourmarkets to explore outsourcing as a way of reducing expenses associated withcontent manufacture while reserving internal resources to focus on strategiccore competencies such as high-level editorial processes, product development,and publishing. We also seek to respond to our customers' increased interest inpublishing information from a single repository to multiple channels (i.e., web,print, CD, print-on-demand, PDA) and to re-use existing digital assets toquickly create new products. We believe that there is a vast quantity of textual, audio, and video datasources that will be made available on the Web by electronic publishers, andthat many of them will choose XML and its related standards as the underlyingtechnology. We intend to be the partner of choice for clients requiringlarge-scale XML transformations as well as XML systems development and training. We intend to target publishers and information providers, knowledge serviceand eLearning companies, Internet content portals, information aggregators,e-content vendors, rich media owners, and corporations with online commerce andknowledge management initiatives. Specifically, we plan to drive content manufacturing and outsourcing opportunities by: Expanding existing client relationships and developing long-term relationships with new clients who have recurring requirements for content manufacturing and outsourcing services; Leveraging our subject matter expertise, world-wide data manufacturing capabilities, and information technology infrastructure to drive substantial cost savings for clients while decreasing their product latency and enabling them to launch products more quickly in response to market opportunities; and Offering custom-tailored XML-based business solutions using a variety of proprietary and third-party licensed software on multiple hardware and systems software platforms and domestic and international workforces. We aim to be a leader in the market for XML content transformation, systems, and training by: Further leveraging existing and emerging technologies to create increasingly efficient tools for creating large-scale XML content repositories; Maintaining our position as the preferred supplier of large-scale XML content services, while extending our leadership in XML architecture and XML consulting; Entering into additional high-profile client partnerships for large-scale XML content services; and Continuing to take an active role in developing key structured information standards. Furthermore, we plan to: Extend our service offerings into other strategic areas consistent with our position as a leading provider of digital asset services and solutions; Design customized service offerings to meet the unique needs of targeted vertical markets; Respond to opportunities to provide increased value-added services to our clients; Expand our delivery capabilities to embrace new technology initiatives that are strategic for our clients; and Cultivate and maintain a significant client and project base to create economies of scale that enable us to achieve competitive costs. Close Relationships With Clients Innodata views its long-term partnership with our clients as a criticalelement in its historical and future success. To continue to meet the needs of existing and prospective clients in atimely fashion, Innodata works directly with its clients to identify and developnew and improved service offerings. To promote a close and continuingrelationship with clients, we sell through our North American Solutions Centerand provide 24/7 project support through our Asia-based customer service center. We generally perform our work for our clients under project-specificcontracts, requirements-based contracts, or long-term contracts. Contracts aretypically subject to numerous termination provisions. One client accounted for 30% and 27% of the Company's revenues for theyears ended December 31, 2002 and 2001 respectively and a second clientaccounted for 16% of the Company's revenues for the year ended December 31,2002. One other client, which substantially curtailed operations, accounted for30% and 54% of the Company's revenues in the years ended December 31, 2001 and2000, respectively. No other client accounted for 10% or more of revenuesduring this period. Further, in 2002, 2001, and 2000, export revenues,substantially all of which were derived from European clients, accounted for23%, 13%, and 10%, respectively, of the Company's revenues. We are from time to time required by clients to enter into non-disclosureagreements pursuant to which we agree not to disclose their identity or thenature of our relationship with them. Reasons for requiring such arrangementsvary, but typically involve a preference on the part of the client not topublicize its outsourcing strategy or to telegraph to competitors a new productdevelopment initiative. Comprehensive Service Offering Our comprehensive service offering distinguishes us from our competitors.Many competitors offer only a single service, such as data capture, but do notoffer the full complement of specialized services large organizations require inorder to build large-scale XML repositories or manufacture large-scale digitalcontent. Innodata provides a broad range of content-related services to enableits clients to obtain the full benefit of outsourcing within a seamlessoperational framework premised on our accountability to our clients. Innovative Technology-Based Solutions We have invested substantially in our manufacturing infrastructure in orderto ensure clients a reliable and highly redundant infrastructure and to enableus to employ the latest tools to drive significant process efficiencies.INFORMATION AS TO OPERATING SEGMENTS The applicable information on operating segments of the Company for thethree years ended December 31, 2002 and at the end of each year, are included inNote 8 to the Company's financial statements.SALES AND MARKETING Our full-time direct sales force primarily conducts sales and marketingfunctions. Sales and marketing activities consist primarily of exhibiting attrade shows in the United States and Europe, and seeking direct personal accessto decision-makers at existing and prospective clients. We have also obtainedvisibility by way of articles published in the trade press, throughparticipation in industry conferences and standards organizations, and byspeaking engagements at industry events. To date, Innodata has not conducted anysignificant advertising campaign in the general media. Consulting personnel from our new project analysis group closely supportthe direct sales effort. These individuals assist the sales force inunderstanding the technical needs of clients and providing responses to theseneeds, including demonstrations, prototypes, pricing quotations, and timeestimates. In addition, account managers from our customer service groupsupport our direct sales effort by providing ongoing project-level post-sale support to customers.COMPETITION The markets for our services are highly competitive. The most significantcompetitive factors are quality and reliability of services, price of services,scope and scale, quality of supporting services, and technical competence. Weare not aware of any single competitor that provides the same range of servicesas we do, and we believe that we have created significant differentiationrelative to our quality of services as well as our scope of services and scaleof services. However, our industry is highly fragmented and we face significantcompetition in each of our service areas. In terms of content manufacturing/outsourcing, we believe we competesuccessfully by offering high quality services and favorable pricing byleveraging our technical skills, process knowledge, and economies of scale.Competition is highly fragmented and depends on the specific service provided.We have substantially greater resources than most of our competitors, resultingin greater breadth of services as well as scope and scale. Thus, we have agreater ability to obtain client contracts where the undertaking required istechnically sophisticated, sizable in scope or scale, or requires significantinvestment. Our outsourcing services also compete with clients' and potentialclients' "in-sourcing" personnel, who may attempt to duplicate our servicesusing in-house staff. In terms of XML data transformation, companies compete on the basis ofquality, accuracy, price, and consistency, as well as ability to deliverlarge-scale, tag-intensive requirements quickly. Innodata's ability to competefavorably is, therefore, dependent upon its ability to react appropriately toshort and long-term trends, harness new technology, and deliver large-scalerequirements quickly. SPI, Inc. and Jouve, S.A. among others, compete for theXML content creation business. With respect to XML systems and consulting, Thomas Technology Solutions,Inc., Bearing Point (formerly KPMG Consulting), and Booz Allen Hamilton areamong those providing competitive services. In addition, we must frequentlycompete with our clients' own internal information technology capability.RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT We maintain a research and development capability to evaluate, on anongoing basis, advances in computer software, hardware and peripherals, computernetworking, telecommunication systems and Internet-related technologies as theyrelate to our business and to develop and install enhancements to ourproprietary systems. During the last two fiscal years, we invested heavily inthe development and integration of proprietary applications for use in our XMLContent Factory. Applications development was predominantly associated withimproving accuracy, consistency, and speed of complex XML tagging forlarge-scale requirements. We intend to make further investments in applicationsdevelopment and integration in order to respond to market opportunities. For thethree years ended December 31, 2002, all research and development expenditureswere charged as development expenses.EMPLOYEES As of February 28, 2003, we employed an aggregate of approximately 70persons in the United States, and approximately 7,000 persons in five productionfacilities in the Philippines, one production facility in Sri Lanka, oneproduction facility in India, and a software development center in India. Noemployees are currently represented by a labor union and we believe that ourrelations with our employees are satisfactory. At all of our locations, we enforce vigorous policies to protect ouremployees against sexual harassment and discrimination based on age, race,gender or sexual orientation. The average age of our employees is approximately25 to 30 years. Most of our employees have graduated from at least a two-yearcollege program. Many of our employees hold advanced degrees in law, business,technology, medicine, and social sciences. To retain our qualified personnel, Innodata offers highly competitive basesalaries that are supplemented by results-based incentives. Senior management iseligible for bonuses and stock options. Our compensation structure is coupledwith an extensive benefits package that includes comprehensive health insurancecoverage, canteen and grocery subsidies, paid holiday leaves, continuingeducation programs, clothing and optical allowances, and a retirement program. Moreover, Innodata provides overtime premiums, holiday pay, bereavement andbirthday leaves, as well as maternity and paternity benefits.RISK FACTORS The nature of our business, as well as our strategy, the size and locationof our facilities, and other factors entail a certain amount of risk. Theserisks may include, but are not limited to, the following: RISK OF CONTINUATION OR WORSENING OF PRESENT MARKET CONDITIONS The current economic uncertainty has curtailed business initiatives by ourclients and potential clients. To address this sales challenge and to reducethe percentage of total revenue that are often non-recurring, we have begun torefocus our sales force to emphasize our content manufacturing outsourcingservices. Nevertheless, a material recovery in revenues and earnings will insubstantial part depend on removal of the current uncertainty and a return tomore vigorous economic growth. RISKS OF EXPANDED OPERATIONS We have expanded our operations rapidly in recent years. As a result, wehave incurred new fixed operating expenses associated with our expansionefforts, including increases in depreciation expense, rental expense, andoverall increases in cost of sales. In order to capitalize on this investment,we need to develop new client relationships and expand existing ones. If ourrevenues do not increase sufficiently to offset these expenses, our operatingresults may be adversely affected. RISKS OF ACQUISITIONS Acquisitions involve a number of risks and challenges. These include, butare not limited to: diversion of management's attention; the need to integrateacquired operations; potential loss of key employees and clients of the acquiredcompanies; lack of experience operating in the market of the acquired business;and an increase in expenses and working capital requirements. To integrate acquired operations, we must implement management informationsystems and operating systems and assimilate and manage the personnel of theacquired operations. Geographic distances may further complicate integration.The integration of acquired businesses may not be successful and could result indisruption to other parts of our business. Any of these and other factors could adversely affect our ability toachieve anticipated levels of profitability of acquired operations or realizeother anticipated benefits of an acquisition. Furthermore, any futureacquisitions may require us to incur debt or obtain additional equity financing,which could increase our leverage or be dilutive to our existing shareholders.No assurance can be given that we will consummate any additional acquisitions inthe future. VARIABILITY OF CLIENT REQUIREMENTS AND OPERATING RESULTS A number of our significant client contracts are requirements-based.Clients may cancel their production requirements, change their productionrequirements, or delay their production requirements for a number of reasons.Cancellations, reductions, or delays by a significant client or by a group ofclients would adversely affect our results of operations. In addition, otherfactors may contribute to fluctuations in our results of operations. Thesefactors include: the timing of client orders; the volume of these ordersrelative to our capacity; market acceptance of clients' new products; the timingof our expenditures in anticipation of future orders; our effectiveness inmanaging manufacturing processes; changes in economic conditions; and localfactors and events that may affect our production volume (such as localholidays) or unforeseen events (e.g., earthquakes, storms, civil unrest). We make significant decisions based on our estimates of clientrequirements, including decisions about the levels of business that we will seekand accept, production schedules, equipment procurement, personnel hiring, andother resource acquisition. The nature of our clients' commitments and thepossibility of changes in demand for their products may reduce our ability toestimate accurately future client requirements. On occasion, clients may requirerapid increases in production, which can stress our resources. Although we haveincreased our content conversion capacity and plan further increases, there canbe no assurance we will have sufficient capacity at any given time to meet all of our clients' demands. In addition, because many of our costs and operatingexpenses are relatively fixed, a reduction in client demand can adversely affectour margins. VARIABILITY OF QUARTERLY OPERATING RESULTS We expect our revenues and operating results to vary from quarter toquarter. Such variations are likely to be caused by many factors that are, tosome extent, outside our control, including: mix and timing of client projects;completing client projects; timing of new contracts; and one-time non-recurringand unusual charges. Accordingly, we believe that quarter-to-quarter comparisons of operatingresults for preceding quarters are not necessarily meaningful. You should notrely on the results of one quarter as an indication of our future performance. CLIENT CONCENTRATION; DEPENDENCE ON THE ONLINE INFORMATION INDUSTRY One client accounted for 30% and 27% of the Company's revenues for theyears ended December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively, and a second clientaccounted for 16% of the Company's revenues for the year ended December 31,2002. One other client, which substantially curtailed operations, accounted for30% and 54% of the Company's revenues in the years ended December 31, 2001 and2000, respectively. No other client accounted for 10% or more of revenuesduring this period. Further, in 2002, 2001, and 2000, export revenues,substantially all of which were derived from European clients, accounted for23%, 13%, and 10%, respectively, of the Company's revenues. A significantamount of our revenues are derived from clients in the online informationindustry. Accordingly, our accounts receivable generally include significantamounts due from such clients. In addition, as of December 31, 2002,approximately 33% of the Company's accounts receivable was from foreign(principally European) clients. On occasion, we may lose a client as a resultof a business failure, contract expiration, or the selection of another serviceprovider. We cannot guarantee that we will be able to retain long-termrelationships or secure renewals of short-term relationships with our majorclients in the future. Moreover, revenue derived from certain of ourrelationships depend upon the level of services we perform, which may vary fromperiod to period depending on client requirements. Factors affecting the online information industry generally could have amaterial adverse effect on our clients and, as a result, on our performance.Such factors include: the inability of our clients to adapt to rapidly changingtechnology and evolving industry standards, the inability of our clients todevelop and market their products, some of which are new and untested; and,recessionary periods in our clients' markets. If clients' products becomeobsolete or fail to gain widespread commercial acceptance, our business may bematerially and adversely affected. RISK OF INCREASED TAXES We have structured our operations in a manner designed to maximize incomein countries where tax incentives have been extended to encourage foreigninvestment or where income tax rates are low. Our taxes could increase if thesetax incentives are not renewed upon expiration, or tax rates applicable to usare increased. Substantially all of the services provided by our Asiansubsidiaries are performed on behalf of clients based in North America andEurope. We believe that profits from our Asian operations are not sufficientlyconnected to jurisdictions in North America or Europe to give rise to incometaxation there. However, tax authorities in jurisdictions in North America andEurope could challenge the manner in which profits are allocated among oursubsidiaries, and we may not prevail in any such challenge. If our Asian profitsbecame subject to income taxes in such other jurisdictions, our worldwideeffective tax rate could increase. RISKS OF COMPETITION The markets for our services are extremely competitive and fragmented. As aresult of this highly competitive environment, we may lose customers or havedifficulty in acquiring new customers and our results of operations may beadversely affected. A significant source of competition for us is the in-housecapability of our target client base. There can be no assurance that theseclients will outsource more of their needs or that such businesses will notbring in-house services that they currently outsource. RISKS OF INTERNATIONAL OPERATIONS While the major part of our operations are carried on in the Philippines,India, and Sri Lanka, our headquarters are in the United States and our clientsare primarily located in North America and Europe. As a result, we are not asaffected by economic conditions overseas as we would be if we depended onrevenues from sources internal to those countries. However, such adverseeconomic factors as inflation, external debt, negative balance of trade, andunderemployment may significantly impact us. Certain aspects of overseas economies directly affect us. Overseasoperations remain vulnerable to political unrest, which could interfere with ouroperations. Political instability could also change the present satisfactorylegal environment for us through the imposition of restrictions on foreignownership, repatriation of funds, adverse labor laws, and the like. Our Indian operations are conducted through wholly-owned subsidiaries thathave been granted an income tax holiday through March 31, 2006. Accordingly,minimal income taxes will be payable on earnings from operations of thesubsidiaries during such period, unless repatriated to the U.S. We fund our overseas operations through transfers of U.S. dollars only asneeded and generally do not maintain any significant amount of funds or monetaryassets overseas. To the extent that we need to bring currency to the UnitedStates from our overseas operations, we may be affected by currency controlregulations. The Philippines is subject to relatively frequent earthquakes, volcaniceruptions, floods, and other natural disasters, which may disrupt ouroperations. Further, power outages lasting for periods of as long as eight hoursper day have occurred. Our facilities are equipped with standby generators thathave produced electric power during these outages; however, there can be noassurance that our operations will not be adversely affected should municipalpower production capacity deteriorate. The geographical distances between Asia, the Americas, and Europe createlogistical and communications challenges which we must overcome. The Philippines has ongoing problems with Muslim insurgents. The Abu Sayyafgroup of kidnappers, which is purported to have ties to the Al Qaeda terroristorganization, is concentrated on Basilan Island, an island far away from ourfacilities, and the government has stepped up activities to eradicate the group.There can be no assurances that these efforts will be successful or that thegroup will not attempt to disrupt activities or commit terrorist acts in otherareas. RISKS OF CURRENCY FLUCTUATIONS AND HEDGING OPERATIONS The Philippines has historically experienced high rates of inflation andmajor fluctuations in exchange rate between the Philippine peso and the U.S.dollar. Continuing inflation without corresponding devaluation of the pesoagainst the dollar, or any other increase in value of the peso relative to thedollar, may have a material adverse effect on our operations and financialcondition. Since 1997, we have not purchased foreign currency futures contractsfor pesos. However, we may choose to do so in the future. DEPENDENCE ON KEY PERSONNEL Our success depends to a large extent upon the continued services of ourkey executives and skilled personnel. Several of our officers and key employeesare bound by employment or non-competition agreements. However, there can be noassurance that we will retain our officers and key employees. We could bematerially and adversely affected by the loss of such personnel. VOLATILITY OF MARKET PRICE OF COMMON STOCK The stock market in recent years has experienced significant price andvolume fluctuations that have affected the market prices for the common stock oftechnology and Internet-related companies. Such fluctuations have often beenunrelated to or disproportionately impacted by the operating performance of suchcompanies. The market for our common stock may be subject to similarfluctuations. Factors such as fluctuations in our operating results,announcements of new contracts, partnerships, acquisitions and alliances,technological innovations or events affecting other companies in the Internet ortechnology industry generally, as well as currency fluctuations and generalmarket conditions, may have a significant effect on the market price of our common stock.ITEM 2. DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY. Our services are primarily performed from our Hackensack, New Jerseycorporate headquarters, two other North American offices, and seven overseasproduction facilities, including our 100,000 square foot XML Content Factorycomplex located in Mandaue, the Philippines. In addition, we have a softwaredevelopment facility in Gurgaon, India. All facilities are leased for termsexpiring on various dates through 2010, and many are cancelable at our option.Annual rental payments on property leases are expected to approximate$1,600,000. We believe that we maintain adequate fire, theft and liability insurancefor our facilities and that our facilities are adequate for our present needs.ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS. In connection with the cessation of all operations at certain foreignsubsidiaries, certain former employees have filed various illegal dismissalactions in the Philippines seeking, among other remedies, reinstatement ofemployment, payment of back wages and damages approximating one million dollars.Outside counsel has advised management that under the circumstances, the Companyis not legally obligated to pay severance to such terminated employees. Basedupon the advice of counsel, management believes the actions are substantiallywithout merit and intends to defend the actions vigorously. In addition, one of the foreign subsidiaries which ceased operations hasbeen presented with a tentative tax assessment by the Philippine Bureau ofInternal Revenue for an amount approximating $400,000, plus applicable interestand penalties. Management believes the tentative assessment is principallywithout substance and any amounts that the Company estimates might ultimately bepaid in settlement (which are not expected to be material) have been accrued. In addition, the Company is subject to various legal proceedings and claimswhich arise in the ordinary course of business. While management currently believes that that ultimate outcome of all theseproceedings will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's financialposition or overall trends in results of operations, litigation is subject toinherent uncertainties. Were an unfavorable ruling to occur, there exists thepossibility of a material adverse impact on the operating results of the periodin which the ruling occurs. In addition, the estimate of potential impact onthe Company's financial position or overall results of operations for the abovelegal proceedings could change in the future.ITEM 4.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTSOF OPERATIONSRESULTS OF OPERATIONSYEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2002 AND 2001 Revenues decreased 38% to $36,385,000 for the year ended December 31, 2002compared to $58,278,000 for the similar period in 2001. Revenues from thecontent services segment decreased 43% to $33,089,000 for the year endedDecember 31, 2002 compared to $57,825,000 for the similar period in 2001. Thedecrease principally resulted from the loss in revenues from one client whichsubstantially curtailed operations, which accounted for approximately $17million of the Company's content services segment revenues in 2001, and from thedecline in revenues from a second client, whose projects were substantiallycompleted in 2002. Revenues from the Company's systems and training segmentwere $3,296,000 for the year ended December 31, 2002 and $453,000 for the onemonth period from December 1, 2001 (date of acquisition) to December 31, 2001. One client accounted for 30% and 27% of the Company's revenues for the yearended December 31, 2002 and 2001 respectively and a second client accounted for16% of the Company's revenues for the year ended December 31, 2002. One otherclient, which substantially curtailed operations, accounted for 30% of theCompany's revenues in the year ended December 31, 2001. No other clientaccounted for 10% or more of revenues during this period. Further, in the yearended December 31, 2002 and 2001, export revenues, substantially all of whichwere derived from European clients, accounted for 23% and 13%, respectively, ofthe Company's revenues. In early 2001, a significant portion of the Company's revenue increase camefrom XML transformation projects by early-stage companies that had raisedsignificant venture capital to pursue digital library and e-businessinitiatives. The downturn in the technology industry in 2001 resulted in afalloff of revenues from companies in this industry sector. The economicdownturn also caused many blue-chip publishers to curtail discretionary spendingand new initiatives on XML transformation projects. To address this saleschallenge and to reduce the percentage of total revenue that are oftennon-recurring, the Company has begun to refocus its sales force to emphasize itscontent outsourcing services. Direct operating expenses were $32,005,000 for the year ended December 31,2002 and $44,354,000 for the year ended December 31, 2001, a decrease of 28%.Direct operating expenses as a percentage of revenues were 88% in 2002 and 76%in 2001. Direct operating expenses for the content services segment were $28,053,000 and $44,039,000 in the year ended December 31, 2002 and 2001,respectively, a decrease of 36%. Direct operating expenses as a percentage ofrevenues for the content services segment were 85% and 76% in the year endedDecember 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively. The dollar decrease for the contentservices segment in the 2002 period is principally due to a reduction in laborcosts associated with lower revenues, and to reductions in fixed costsassociated with the Company's cost reduction initiatives. The percentageincrease for the content services segment in the 2002 period is primarilyattributable to the decrease in revenues without a corresponding decrease innon-labor costs. Labor costs as a percentage of revenue remained consistent.Direct operating expenses for the Company's systems and training segment were$3,952,000, or 120% of systems and training segment revenues, for the year endedDecember 31, 2002 and $315,000, or 70% of revenues, for the month of December2001. Direct operating expenses primarily include direct payroll,telecommunications, depreciation, equipment maintenance and upgrade costs,computer services, supplies and occupancy. Selling and administrative expenses were $10,038,000 and $8,337,000 in theyear ended December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively, an increase of 20%. Sellingand administrative expenses for the content services segment were $8,525,000 and$8,227,000 for the year ended December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively, anincrease of 4%. The increase for the content services segment is primarily dueto a non-cash compensation charge of approximately $500,000, and an increase inselling and marketing costs of approximately $684,000, offset by a 14% reductionin general and administrative expenses. Selling and administrative expensesas a percentage of revenues for the content services segment increased to 26% inthe 2002 period from 19% in the 2001 period due primarily to the decrease inrevenues without a corresponding decrease in such expenses. Selling andadministrative expenses for the systems and training segment were $1,513,000, or46% of sales, in the year ended December 31, 2002 compared to $110,000, or 24%of sales, for the one month period December 2001. Selling and administrativeexpenses primarily include management and administrative salaries, sales andmarketing costs, and administrative overhead. For the year ended December 31, 2001, the Company provided an allowance fordoubtful accounts of approximately $2.6 million representing the remainingbalance due at December 31, 2001 from a client that accounted for 30% of its2001 revenues because the client has reported an inability to raise furtheroperating funds required to make payment. In addition, in 2001 the Companyprovided approximately $350,000 for other client bad debts incurred in theordinary course of business. During the fourth quarter 2001, the Company commenced certain actions toreduce production operations at a wholly owned Asian subsidiary that wasoperating at a loss and to reduce overall excess capacity in Asia. Suchactivities, which culminated in the cessation and closure of all operations atthe subsidiary and included employee layoffs, were completed in 2002. Inaddition, during 2002, the Company closed a second facility, resulting in thewrite-off of property and equipment associated with the closed facility totalingapproximately $244,000. Such write-off of equipment has been classified asRestructuring Costs and Asset Impairment for the year ended December 31, 2002.Included in Restructuring Costs and Asset Impairment for the year ended December31, 2001 are estimated facility closure costs, including employee related costs,approximating $600,000, and the write-off of leasehold improvement coststotaling approximately $265,000. In 2002, the Company paid approximately$350,000 in closing costs. For the year ended December 31, 2002, the income tax benefit was lower as apercentage of pre-tax loss than the federal statutory rate due primarily tocertain overseas foreign source losses for which no tax benefit is available.YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2001 AND 2000 Revenues increased 15% to $58,278,000 for the year ended December 31, 2001compared to $50,731,000 for the similar period in 2000. Sales to one client whoaccounted for $27.4 million (54%) of the Company's revenues in 2000 declined byapproximately $10 million in 2001. The Company replaced this shortfall in 2001by a $14.4 million increase in revenues from another client and net increases inrevenues from various other new and existing clients. As a result, totalrevenues in 2001 increased by $7.5 million from 2000. One client accounted for 30% and 54% of the Company's revenues in 2001 and2000, respectively. One other client accounted for 27% of the Company's revenuesin 2001. No other client accounted for 10% or more of the Company's revenues.Further, in 2001 and 2000, export revenues, the vast majority of which were derived from European customers, accounted for 13% and 10%, respectively, of theCompany's revenues. In 2000 and early 2001, a significant portion of the Company's revenueincrease came from XML transformation projects by early-stage companies that hadraised significant venture capital to pursue digital library and e-businessinitiatives. The downturn in the technology industry in 2001 resulted in afalloff of revenues from companies in this industry sector. Furthermore, theeconomic downturn that became evident late in 2001 resulted in many blue-chippublishers that had shown increased interest in XML transformation projectselecting to curtail discretionary spending and slow down new initiatives. To inpart address this sales challenge, the Company began to refocus its sales forceto emphasize its content manufacturing/outsourcing services. Direct operating expenses were $44,354,000 for the year ended December 31,2001 and $34,458,000 for the year ended December 31, 2000, an increase of 29%.Direct operating expenses as a percentage of revenues were 76% in 2001 and 68%in 2000. The dollar increase in 2001, approximately 60% of which is comprised ofan increase in labor costs, is principally due to costs incurred for increasedrevenues. The percentage increase in 2001 is principally attributable to anincrease in fixed and certain labor costs incurred for increased productioncapacity which was underutilized during the second half of 2001. Directoperating expenses include primarily direct payroll, telecommunications,depreciation, equipment lease costs, computer services, supplies and occupancy. Selling and administrative expenses were $8,337,000 and $7,248,000 for theyears ended December 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively, representing an increaseof 15%. The increase is primarily attributable to an increase in selling andmarketing costs, travel costs and facility administrative overhead associatedwith the Company's continued growth. Selling and administrative expenses as apercentage of revenues were 14% in both the 2001 and 2000 periods. Selling andadministrative expense includes management and administrative salaries, salesand marketing costs and administrative overhead. The Company provided an allowance for doubtful accounts of approximately$2.6 million representing the remaining balance due at December 31, 2001 from aclient that accounted for 30% of its 2001 revenues because the client hasreported an inability to raise further operating funds required to make payment.In addition, the Company provided approximately $350,000 for other client baddebts incurred in the ordinary course of business. During the fourth quarter 2001, the Company took certain actions to reduceproduction operations at a wholly owned Asian subsidiary that was operating at aloss and to reduce overall excess capacity in Asia. Such activities included thetermination of leases and employee layoffs. Included in Restructuring Costs andAsset Impairment for the year ended December 31, 2001 are estimated facilityclosure costs, including employee related costs, approximating $600,000, and thewrite-off of leasehold improvement costs totaling approximately $265,000.LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES Selected measures of liquidity and capital resources are as follows: December 31, 2002 December 31, 2001 ----------------- -----------------Cash and Cash Equivalents $7,255,000 $6,267,000Working Capital 8,570,000 8,854,000Stockholders' Equity Per Common Share* $.73 $.95* Represents total stockholders' equity divided by the actual number of common shares outstanding (which excludes treasury stock).NET CASH PROVIDED BY OPERATING ACTIVITIES Net cash provided by operating activities was $3,050,000 and $4,840,000 for the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively, a decrease ofapproximately $1,790,000. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease in netincome of $6.5 million and a decrease in non-cash charges of $2.9 millionpartially offset by an increase in net changes in operating assets andliabilities of $7.7 million (principally accounts receivable). In addition,approximately $900,000 of the $3,050,000 cash provided by operating activitiesfor the year ended December 31, 2002 resulted from the sale of certainvalue-added tax credits held by the Company. These tax credits had beenincluded as other assets on the balance sheet on December 31, 2001. Accounts Receivable totaled $3,253,000 at December 31, 2002 representingapproximately 52 days of sales outstanding, compared to $7,846,000, or 61 days,at December 31, 2001. The decrease in accounts receivable resulted principallyfrom a decrease in sales, and from more accelerated collections. In addition,refundable income taxes increased to $1,491,000 at December 31, 2002 from$509,000 at December 31, 2001 due primarily to tax refunds available resultingfrom losses incurred in 2002 which are available for carryback to prior years.NET CASH USED IN INVESTING ACTIVITIES As a result of the capital investments made during 2001 and 2000, the needfor new equipment has been diminished in comparison with both such periods.Accordingly, in the year ended December 31, 2002, the Company spentapproximately $1,162,000 for capital expenditures, compared to approximately$5,568,000 in the year ended December 31, 2001. In addition, in the year endedDecember 31, 2001, the Company acquired the operating assets and assumed certaindesignated liabilities of the ISOGEN International operating division ofDataChannel, Inc. The purchase price, including acquisition costs, consisted of$796,000 in cash, two acquisition promissory notes which were paid in 2002, eachfor $325,000, plus an additional $68,000. At present, the Company anticipatescapital spending for 2003 to range between $1.5 million and $2 million.NET CASH (USED IN) PROVIDED BY FINANCING ACTIVITIES In the year ended December 31, 2002, net cash used in financing activitiestotaled approximately $900,000 primarily due to the repayment of two acquisitionpromissory notes totaling $650,000 in connection with the acquisition of theISOGEN International operating division. In addition, the Company repurchased340,000 shares of the Company's common stock for $360,000 in 2002, compared to$1,639,000 in 2001.AVAILABILITY OF FUNDS The Company has a $4 million line of credit with a bank pursuant to whichit may borrow up to 80% of eligible accounts receivable. Eligible accountsreceivable, which excludes foreign receivables as well as receivablesoutstanding in excess of 90 days, approximated $1.2 million at December 31,2002. The line, which is due on demand and was unused at December 31, 2002, iscollateralized by accounts receivable. Interest is charged at 1/2% above thebank's prime rate. The line expires on May 31, 2003. Management believes that existing cash, internally generated funds andshort term bank borrowings will be sufficient for reasonably anticipated workingcapital and capital expenditure requirements during the next 12 months. TheCompany funds its foreign expenditures from its U.S. corporate headquarters onan as-needed basis.INFLATION, SEASONALITY AND PREVAILING ECONOMIC CONDITIONS To date, inflation has not had a significant impact on the Company'soperations. The Company generally performs its work for its clients underproject-specific contracts, requirements-based contracts or long-term contracts.Contracts are typically subject to numerous termination provisions. TheCompany's revenues are not significantly affected by seasonality.CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES Basis of Presentation and Use of Estimates ------------------------------------------ Management's discussion and analysis of its results of operations andfinancial condition is based upon the Company's consolidated financialstatements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principlesgenerally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financialstatements requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and relateddisclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an on-going basis, theCompany evaluates its estimates, including those related to accounts receivable.Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on various otherassumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, theresults of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying valuesof assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources.Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions orconditions. Allowance for Doubtful Accounts ------------------------------- The Company records an allowance for doubtful accounts for estimated lossesresulting from the inability of its clients to make required payments. If thefinancial condition of the Company's clients were to deteriorate, resulting inan impairment of their ability to make payments, additional allowances may benecessary. Revenue Recognition ------------------- Revenue is recognized in the period in which services are performed anddelivered. Depreciation ------------ Depreciation is provided on the straight-line method over the estimateduseful lives of the related assets, which is two to five years. Leaseholdimprovements are amortized on a straight-line basis over the shorter of theirestimated useful lives or the lives of the leases. Income Taxes ------------ Deferred taxes are determined based on the difference between the financialstatement and tax bases of assets and liabilities, using enacted tax rates, aswell as any net operating loss or tax credit carryforwards expected to reducetaxes payable in future years. A valuation allowance is provided when it ismore likely than not that some or all of a deferred tax asset will not berealized. Unremitted earnings of foreign subsidiaries have been included in theconsolidated financial statements without giving effect to the United Statestaxes that may be payable on distribution to the United States to the extentsuch earnings are not anticipated to be remitted to the United States. Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets ------------------------------------ SFAS 142 requires that goodwill be tested for impairment at the reportingunit level (segment or one level below a segment) on an annual basis and betweenannual tests in certain circumstances. Application of the goodwill impairmenttest requires judgment, including the identification of reporting units,assigning assets and liabilities to reporting units, assigning goodwill toreporting units, and determining the fair value of each reporting unit.Significant judgments required to estimate the fair value of reporting unitsinclude estimating future cash flows, determining appropriate discount rates andother assumptions. Changes in these estimates and assumptions could materiallyaffect the determination of fair value for each reporting unit. Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation --------------------------------------- The Company accounts for stock-based compensation plans under therecognition and measurement principles of APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting forStock Issued to Employees, and related Interpretations. In general, nostock-based employee compensation cost is reflected in the results ofoperations, unless options granted under those plans have an exercise price thatis less than the market value of the underlying common stock on the date ofgrant.RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities ---------------------------------------------------------------- In June 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 146, Accounting for Costs Associatedwith Exit or Disposal Activities (SFAS No. 146). SFAS No. 146 requires thatliabilities associated with the exit or disposal activity be recognized onlywhen the liability is incurred. SFAS No. 146 is effective for exit and disposalactivities that are initiated after December 31, 2002. The Company does notexpect SFAS No. 146 to have a material impact upon its financial statements. Accounting For Stock-Based Compensation Transition and Disclosure ----------------------------------------------------------------- In December 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 148, Accounting for Stock-BasedCompensation - Transition and Disclosure (SFAS No. 148), which amends SFAS No.123. SFAS No. 148 provides alternate methods of transition for a voluntarychange to the fair value based method of accounting for stock-basedcompensation, and requires enhanced disclosure about the method used and theeffect of the method used on requested results. Under SFAS No. 148, stock-basedcompensation disclosures must be included with the summary of significantaccounting policies and made both quarterly and annually. The Company does notplan to adopt the fair value method of accounting for stock-based compensation.ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK The Company is exposed to interest rate change market risk with respect toits credit facility with a financial institution, which is priced based on theprime rate of interest. At December 31, 2002, there were no outstandingborrowings under the credit facility. Changes in the prime interest rate during2003 will have a positive or negative effect on the Company's interest expense.Such exposure will increase accordingly should the Company utilize its line ofcredit during 2003. The Company has operations in foreign countries. While it is exposed toforeign currency fluctuations, the Company presently has no financialinstruments in foreign currency and does not maintain funds in foreign currencybeyond those necessary for operations.ITEM 8.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION - Innodata Corporation and subsidiaries(the "Company") is a leading provider of digital asset services and solutions.Innodata delivers content manufacturing / outsourcing, XML transformation, andXML (and related standards-based) systems engineering and training throughoffices located both in the U.S. and Asia. The consolidated financial statementsinclude the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries, all of which arewholly owned. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated inconsolidation. USE OF ESTIMATES - In preparing financial statements in conformity withgenerally accepted accounting principles, management is required to makeestimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets andliabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dateof the financial statements and revenues and expenses during the reportingperiod. Actual results could differ from those estimates. REVENUE RECOGNITION - Revenue is recognized in the period in which servicesare performed and delivered. FOREIGN CURRENCY - The functional currency for the Company's productionoperations located in the Philippines, India and Sri Lanka is U.S. dollars. Assuch, transactions denominated in Philippine pesos, Indian and Sri Lanka rupeeswere translated to U.S. dollars at rates which approximate those in effect ontransaction dates. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreigncurrencies at December 31, 2002 and 2001 were translated at the exchange rate ineffect as of those dates. Exchange losses resulting from such transactions in2002 totaled approximately $59,000. Exchange gains resulting from suchtransactions in 2001 totaled approximately $75,000. Exchange losses in 2000resulting from such transactions totaled $180,000. STATEMENT OF CASH FLOWS - For financial statement purposes (including cashflows), the Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments purchased withan original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.Supplemental disclosure of non-cash investing activities in 2001 (in thousands)is as follows: Acquisition costs $1,514 Acquisition notes issued (650) Other amounts payable (68) ------ Payments in connection with acquisition $ 796 ====== DEPRECIATION - Depreciation is provided on the straight-line method overthe estimated useful lives of the related assets, which is two to five years.Leasehold improvements are amortized on a straight-line basis over the shorterof their estimated useful lives or the lives of the leases. GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS - SFAS 142 requires that goodwill betested for impairment at the reporting unit level (segment or one level below asegment) on an annual basis and between annual tests in certain circumstances.Application of the goodwill impairment test requires judgment, including the identification of reporting units, assigning assets and liabilities to reportingunits, assigning goodwill to reporting units, and determining the fair value ofeach reporting unit. Significant judgments required to estimate the fair valueof reporting units include estimating future cash flows, determining appropriatediscount rates and other assumptions. Changes in these estimates andassumptions could materially affect the determination of fair value for eachreporting unit. INCOME TAXES - Deferred taxes are determined based on the differencebetween the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities, usingenacted tax rates, as well as any net operating loss or tax credit carryforwardsexpected to reduce taxes payable in future years. A valuation allowance isprovided when it is more likely than not that some or all of a deferred taxasset will not be realized. Unremitted earnings of foreign subsidiaries havebeen included in the consolidated financial statements without giving effect tothe United States taxes that may be payable on distribution to the United Statesto the extent such earnings are not anticipated to be remitted to the UnitedStates. ACCOUNTING FOR STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION - At December 31, 2002, the Companyhas various stock-based employee compensation plans, which are described morefully in Note 7. The Company accounts for those plans under the recognition andmeasurement principles of APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued toEmployees, and related Interpretations. In general, no stock-based employeecompensation cost is reflected in the results of operations, unless optionsgranted under such plans have an exercise price less than the market value ofthe underlying common stock on the date of grant. The following tableillustrates the effect on net income and earnings per share if the Company hadapplied the fair value recognition provisions of FASB Statement No. 123,Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, to stock-based employee compensation. YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2002 2001 2000 (in thousands, except per share amounts)Net (loss) income, as reported $(5,165) $1,348 $6,168Deduct: Total stock-based employee compensation determined under fair value based method, net of related tax effects 1,997 2,185 664 ------- ------ ------Pro forma net (loss) income $(7,162) $ (837) $5,504 ======= ====== ======(Loss) income per share: Basic - as reported $(.24) $.06 $.30 ===== ==== ==== Basic - pro forma $(.33) $(.04) $.27 ===== ===== ==== Diluted - as reported $(.24) $.05 $.26 ===== ===== ==== Diluted - pro forma $(.33) $(.04) $.24 ===== ===== ==== FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS - The Company has estimated the fairvalue of financial instruments using available market information and othervaluation methodologies in accordance with SFAS No. 107, "Disclosures About FairValue of Financial Instruments." Management of the Company believes that thefair value of financial instruments for which estimated fair value has not beenspecifically presented, primarily cash and accounts receivable, is notmaterially different than the related carrying value. Determinations of fairvalue are based on subjective data and significant judgment relating to timingof payments and collections and the amounts to be realized. Different assumptions and/or estimation methodologies might have a material effect on thefair value estimates. Accordingly, the estimates of fair value are notnecessarily indicative of the amounts the Company would realize in a currentmarket exchange. ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE - The majority of the Company's accounts receivable aredue from secondary publishers and information providers. Credit is extendedbased on evaluation of a clients' financial condition and project terms and,generally, collateral is not required. Accounts receivable are generally duewithin 30 days and are stated at amounts due from customers net of an allowancefor doubtful accounts. Accounts outstanding longer than the contractual paymentterms are considered past due. The Company determines its allowance byconsidering a number of factors, including the length of time trade accountsreceivable are past due, the Company's previous loss history, the client'scurrent ability to pay its obligation to the Company, and the condition of thegeneral economy and the industry as a whole. The Company writes-off accountsreceivable when they become uncollectible, and payments subsequently received onsuch receivables are credited to the allowance for doubtful accounts. INCOME (LOSS) PER SHARE - Basic earnings per share is based on the weightedaverage number of common shares outstanding without consideration of potentialcommon stock. Diluted earnings per share is based on the weighted averagenumber of common and, if dilutive, potential common shares outstanding. Thecalculation takes into account the shares that may be issued upon exercise ofstock options, reduced by the shares that may be repurchased with the funds andtax benefits received from the exercise, based on average prices during theyear. ACCOUNTING FOR COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH EXIT OR DISPOSAL ACTIVITIES - In June2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 146, Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit orDisposal Activities (SFAS No. 146). SFAS No. 146 requires that liabilitiesassociated with the exit or disposal activity be recognized only when theliability is incurred. SFAS No. 146 is effective for exit and disposalactivities that are initiated after December 31, 2002. The Company does notexpect SFAS No. 146 to have a material impact upon its financial statements.2. PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT Property and equipment, stated at cost less accumulated depreciation andamortization (in thousands), consist of the following: DECEMBER 31, 2002 2001 Equipment $16,136 $16,805 Furniture and office equipment 1,037 961 Leashold improvements 2,314 2,360 ------- ------- Total 19,487 20,126 Less accumulated depreciation and amortization 12,780 9,890 ------- ------- $ 6,707 $10,236 ======= ======= As of December 31, 2002 and 2001, the net book value of property andequipment located at the Company's production facilities in the Philippines,India, and Sri Lanka was approximately $6,361,000 and $9,812,000, respectively.3.

Thepromissory notes accrued interest at a rate of 7% per annum, and were paid in2002. The acquisition was accounted for by the purchase method of accounting inaccordance with SFAS No. 141 'Business Combinations' and, accordingly, theconsolidated statements of operations include the results of the acquiredbusiness beginning December 1, 2001.

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES LINE OF CREDIT - The Company has a $4 million line of credit with a bankpursuant to which it may borrow up to 80% of eligible accounts receivable. Theline, which is due on demand and was unused at December 31, 2002, iscollateralized by accounts receivable. Interest is charged at 1/2% above thebank's prime rate. The line of credit expires on May 31, 2003. LEASES - The Company is obligated under various operating lease agreementsfor office and production space. The agreements contain escalation clauses andrequirements that the Company pay taxes, insurance and maintenance costs. Thelease agreements for production space in most overseas facilities, which expirethrough 2010, contain provisions pursuant to which the Company may cancel theleases upon three months notice, generally subject to forfeiture of securitydeposit. The annual rental for the cancelable leased space is approximately$1,200,000. For the years ended December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000, rent expensefor office and production space totaled approximately $2,100,000, $1,900,000 and$1,600,000, respectively. In addition, the Company leases certain equipment under short-termoperating lease agreements. For the years ended December 31, 2002, 2001 and2000, rent expense for equipment totaled approximately $46,000, $400,000 and$900,000, respectively. At December 31, 2002, future minimum annual rental commitments onnon-cancelable leases (excluding equipment leases with terms less than one year)(in thousands) are as follows: 2003 $460 2004 350 2005 320 2006 320 2007 320 Thereafter 640 ---- 2,410 ===== LITIGATION AND FOREIGN TAX ASSESSMENTS - In connection with the cessationof all operations at certain foreign subsidiaries (Note 10), certain formeremployees have filed various illegal dismissal actions in the Philippinesseeking, among other remedies, reinstatement of employment, payment of backwages and damages approximating one million dollars. Outside counsel hasadvised management that under the circumstances, the Company is not legallyobligated to pay severance to such terminated employees. Based upon the adviceof counsel, management believes the actions are substantially without merit andintends to defend the actions vigorously. In addition, one of the foreign subsidiaries which ceased operations hasbeen presented with a tentative tax assessment by the Philippine Bureau ofInternal Revenue for an amount approximating $400,000, plus applicable interestand penalties. Management believes the tentative assessment is principallywithout substance and any amounts that might ultimately be paid in settlement(which is not expected to be material) have been accrued. In addition, the Company is subject to various legal proceedings and claimswhich arise in the ordinary course of business. While management currently believes that that ultimate outcome of all theseproceedings will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's financialposition or overall trends in results of operations, litigation is subject toinherent uncertainties. Were an unfavorable ruling to occur, there exists thepossibility of a material adverse impact on the operating results of the periodin which the ruling occurs. In addition, the estimate of potential impact onthe Company's financial position or overall results of operations for the abovelegal proceedings could change in the future. FOREIGN CURRENCY - The Company's production facilities are located in thePhilippines, India and Sri Lanka. To the extent that the currencies of thesecountries fluctuate, the Company is subject to risks of changing costs ofproduction after pricing is established for certain customer projects. However,most significant contracts contain provisions for price renegotiation. EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENTS - In connection with the acquisition of ISOGEN, theCompany entered into a three year employment agreement with its co-founder to serve as the division's President. Pursuant to the agreement, he will becompensated at a rate of $200,000 per annum for the first year, subject toannual review for discretionary annual increases thereafter, and will beeligible to receive an annual cash bonus, the amount of which will be based uponmeeting certain goals. In addition, he was granted an option to purchase 150,000shares of the Company's common stock at $4.00 per share, and was issued 11,587unregistered shares of the Company's common stock. Compensation expense ofapproximately $10,000 was recorded in the year ended December 31, 2002 asselling and administrative expenses pursuant to the stock issuance. In May 2001, the Company entered into an agreement with its then Chairmanof the Board pursuant to which he will continue to serve as a part-time employeeat a salary of $2,000 per month for five years. In addition, the Company paidhim $400,000 in exchange for a six year non-compete agreement, which is includedin other assets and is being amortized over the term of the agreement. OnDecember 31, 2002, the unamoritized balance was $289,000. PHILIPPINE PENSION REQUIREMENT - The Philippine government enactedlegislation requiring businesses to provide a lump-sum pension payment toemployees working at least five years and who are employed by the Company at age60. Those eligible employees are to receive approximately 60% of one month's payfor each year of employment with the Company. The liability for the futurepayment is insignificant at December 31, 2002. Under the legislation, theCompany is not required to fund future costs, if any. INDEMNIFICATIONS - The Company is obligated under certain circumstances toindemnify directors and certain officers against costs and liabilities incurredin actions or threatened actions brought against such individual because suchindividuals acted in the capacity of director and / or officer of the Company.In addition, the Company has contracts with certain clients pursuant to whichthe Company has agreed to indemnify the client for certain specified and limitedclaims. These indemnification obligations are in the ordinary course ofbusiness and, in many cases, do not include a limit on a maximum potentialfuture payments. As of December 31, 2002, the Company has not recorded aliability for any obligations arising as a result of these indemnifications. LIENS - In connection with the procurement of tax incentives at one of thecompany's foreign subsidiaries, the foreign zoning authority was granted a firstlien on the subsidiary's property and equipment.

The Plans may be amended from time to time by the Board of Directors of theCompany. However, the Board of Directors may not, without stockholder approval,amend the Plans to increase the number of shares of common stock which may beissued under the Plans (except upon changes in capitalization as specified inthe Plans), decrease the minimum exercise price provided in the Plans or changethe class of persons eligible to participate in the Plans. The Company has adopted the disclosure-only provisions of SFAS No. 123,"Accounting for Stock Based Compensation." Accordingly, to the extent theexercise price of options granted to employees is equal to or greater than themarket value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant, compensationexpense is not recognized for stock options granted to employees. Hadcompensation cost for the Company's stock option grants been determined based onthe fair value at the grant date for awards in 2002, 2001, and 2000, consistentwith the provisions of SFAS No. 123, the Company would have reflected a net lossof approximately $7.1 million or $(.33) basic and diluted in 2002; a net loss of$837,000 or $(.04) per share, basic and diluted, in 2001; and net income of $5.5million or $.27 per share, basic, and $.24 per share, diluted in 2000. The fairvalue of options at date of grant was estimated using the Black-Scholes pricingmodel with the following weighted average assumptions: expected life of fouryears; risk free interest rate of 3.5% in 2002, 5% in 2001, and 6% in 2000,expected volatility of 119% in 2002, 118% in 2001, and 115% in 2000; and a zerodividend yield.
