Change is Already Here

Helping Our Customers Keep Pace
Media,  publishing  and  information  services  companies  are 
undergoing massive change as technology and globalization 
combine  to  generate  new  opportunities  and  increased         
competition. In response, they are building a new generation 
of  content-rich  products  and  services.  They  are  also              
reconceiving  their  legacy  offerings  to  better  position  them-
selves for growth.

Our  outsourced  editorial  and  production  services  are 
provided  via  a  global  delivery  platform  that  combines  the 
right people in the right locations with industry-leading tools 
and workflows. We have hundreds of subject matter experts 
with  advanced  degrees  in  areas  such  as  law,  finance  and 
medicine,  who  deliver  high-end  analytical,  editorial  and 
authoring  capabilities  that  meet  the  needs  of  demanding 
audiences.

Innodata  Isogen  works  with  market  leaders  in  these                
industries  to  develop  and  maintain  products  and  services 
that  meet  the  emerging  demand  for  comprehensiveness, 
accessibility and mobility.

We  have  also  become  a  leader  in  eBook  services,  fulfilling 
the  production  needs  of  leading  publishers,  retailers  and 
device manufacturers. 

Struggling with how to streamline operations? Our consulting 
staff  provides  expert  analysis  of  process  and  workflows, 
helping  to  reengineer  legacy  processes  and  supply  chains    
to reduce cost, speed time-to-market, and deliver innovative 
products.

Endeavoring  to  develop  new  mobile  and  tablet  information 
applications?  Our  content  technologies  group  helps  clients 
navigate  an  array  of  technologies  to  build  best-in-class 
mobile applications.

Desiring  to  reduce  cost  to  fund  new  initiatives?  Our  
outsourcing  group  integrates  with  clients’  core  editorial  and 
production  functions,  enabling  our  clients  to  reduce  cost 
while increasing timeliness and quality.

We also work with other knowledge-intensive organizations, 
including government agencies, law firms, financial services 
firms,  technology  and  telecommunications  companies,  and 
healthcare institutions.

Our Global Resources
Our  consulting  and  content  technologies  teams  are  com-
prised  of  selectively-chosen  industry  experts  with  many 
years of domain experience and technology know-how.

Our Evolution in Context
Originally started as an offshore digital conversion company, 
we reinvented ourselves several times over the past decade 
to keep pace with our clients’ changing needs. We migrated 
from  digitization  services  to  become  experts  at  information 
exchange  standards  such  as  XML;  we  built  high-end      
expert  analytical  and  editorial  capabilities  across  several 
specialized domains; we integrated high-end technology  and 
consulting practices to enable us to serve our clients strategi-
cally as well as tactically.

industrial  society  (where  knowledge,       

Information companies, as well as other knowledge-intensive 
organizations, continue to navigate a fundamental transition 
from  a  print-based  industrial  society  to  an  information 
technology-based 
not just content, proliferates). Within these companies, funda-
mental  asymmetries  persist  between  business  prac-
tices of the past (that are the legacies of a print-based model) 
and business practices of the future (that support the efficient 
creation and management of knowledge). To fully enable this 
shift, there’s a need for the kind of innovation that Innodata 
Isogen can provide.

We’re excited by the prospects that this shift presents for our 
company  and  the  opportunity  we  have  to  become  increas-
ingly relevant to our expanding roster of important clients.

 
Fellow Shareholders,

Writing this letter gives me an opportunity to take stock of the 
business  from  a “30,000  foot”  level  —  to  share  with  you  a 
perspective on what we’ve accomplished, what remains to be 
accomplished,  and  what  we’re  doing 
the 
challenges that we confront.

to  address 

The  most  notable  accomplishment  over  the  past  several 
years is, without doubt, our steady evolution from a provider    
of simple digital conversion services to a provider of progres-
sively more strategic, higher-value engagements.

From the time we started the business until just several years 
ago, paper-to-digital conversion comprised the vast majority 
of  the  work  we  performed.  Touring  an  offshore  Innodata 
Isogen production facility during this period, you would have 
been taken aback by massive piles of paper everywhere in 
queue for keyboarding or scanning.

“The most notable accomplishment over the past 
several  years  is  our  steady  evolution  from  a     
provider  of  simple  digital  conversion  services  to    
a  provider  of  progressively  more  strategic, 
higher-value engagements.”

If  this  was  our  “Act  I”,  our  “Act  II”  was  content  enhance-
ment  —  beginning  with  XML  markup  and  progressing  to 
specific  analytic  services  for  enhancing  legal,  financial        
and  medical  information.  Instead  of  entry-level  staff  digit- 
izing  documents,  our  business  developed  into  financial 
experts,  attorneys  and  physicians  analyzing  and  creating 
content,  on  an  outsourced  basis,  for  some  of  the  world’s 
leading information products. 

Our “Act  III”  —  which  has  been  our  focus  over  the  past  24 
months — has been consulting services, content technology 
services and ePublishing (eBook) services. The idea behind 
consulting  services  was  that  our  clients  needed  strategic,  
not  just  tactical,  help.  Technology  services  made  sense 
because  increasingly  our  clients  were  seeking  ways  to 
leverage  technology  both  within  their  operations  and  within 
their product offerings. Providing a combination of consulting 
services, 
technology  services  and  outsourced  content 
services, we reasoned, would result in our bringing the most 
value  to  clients.  We  refer  to  this  as  “integrated  services.” 
ePublishing, we reasoned, was still in its nascence, and by

continuing to invest in ePublishing capabilities we would align 
with  a  significant  trend  that  would  be  influencing  content 
business for years to come.

In  2010,  our  investment  in  these  areas  resulted  in  the     
following important wins:

•

•

•

The  United  States  Government  Printing  Office  (GPO) 
selected us — in a stiff competition that included several 
billion-dollar systems integrators — to help them use new 
technologies  to  publish  more  information,  with  greater 
speed, across new platforms.

A  $5  billion  global  information  services  leader  —  who 
provides complex products that serve the legal, financial 
and scientific communities — selected us to lead a multi-
transformation 
year,  multi-country,  multi-business-unit 
program  focusing  on  future  content  architectures,  new 
business processes and new content technologies.

Apple  chose  us  as  their  ePublishing  partner  to  provide 
online  ePublishing  services  for  the  iBookstore.  Working 
closely with Apple’s executives, we designed a managed 
service  that  enables  Apple’s  customers  to  connect  to  us 
directly  from  Apple’s  iTunes  Connect  website  in  order  to 
upload content to us in virtually any format which we then 
convert and upload to the iBookstore. 

While  we  showed  progress  on  the  strategic  front,  building 
new high-value service areas and proving the strength of our 
execution through important wins, we were unsuccessful at 
eliminating the risk of high revenue dependence on too few 
customers. In fiscal year 2009, one client represented 34% of 
our total revenue and another represented 10% of our total 
revenue. That  our  concentration  was  with  long-time  clients, 
that we had grown revenues with them significantly over the 
past four years, and that the nature of much of our work was 
ongoing,  proved  insufficient  to  mitigate  the  downside  risks. 
As the global economic downturn took its toll on businesses 
everywhere, one client significantly reduced its ongoing new 
product development. Another client unexpectedly cancelled 
a  new  $6  million+  contract.  This  “one-two”  punch  dealt  a 
painful blow to our economics, leaving us short on revenue 
and long on infrastructure costs in a downturned economy.

As a result, after three straight years of successive growth in 
revenue and earnings, in 2010 our revenue declined sharply, 

from  $76.7  million  in  2009  to  $61.5  million  in  2010,  a  20% 
decline, and our earnings declined from $7.3 million in 2009 
to a loss of $750,000 in 2010.

built  around  differentiating  IP,  relying  on  technology  at  their 
core and scaling effectively. This “Act IV” is something we’re 
very excited about.

The  Innodata  Isogen  management  team  is  committed  to 
building a company comparable in reputation to some of the 
world’s leading global services companies. We are embark-
ing  upon  an  ambitious  three-year  strategy  designed  to 
accomplish just that. We are targeting achieving revenues in 
excess of $100 million within the next three years. If we are 
successful,  which  we  intend  to  be,  substantial  benefits  will 
inure to our shareholders.

Thanks very much,

Jack Abuhoff

Chairman & CEO

Notwithstanding the magnitude of this setback, we stayed the 
course with investments we were making, and we’re glad we 
did. First, the “wins” I listed earlier are a direct result of our 
investments. Second, we believe we have a set of capabilities 
to  drive  diversified  growth  (helping  to  cushion  us  from 
unexpected  revenue  volatility)  and  to  drive  progressively 
higher margins.

We believe that our “integrated services” represent the right 
recipe  for  the  right  time:  there’s  an  unprecedented  level  of 
change  taking  place  within  the  publishing  and  information 
industry  —  new  devices,  new  media  and  new  business 
models are emerging that present both threats and opportu-
nities  for  our  customer  base.  Increasingly,  our  customers 
require  not  just  tactical  help,  but  “strategic”  help  —  help 
conceiving operational and technology strategies for reduc-
ing  costs  associated  with  current  operations  and  creating 
information products designed to appeal to a next generation 
of  information  customers.  We  believe  we  now  have  the 
breadth  of  skills  to  serve  our  clients  both  tactically  as  well    
as strategically. While we enjoy a reputation with our clients 
for  agility,  dependability  and  professionalism,  through  our 
“integrated  services”  we  intend  to  earn  a  reputation  for 
radical innovation, as well.

“The  Innodata  management  team  is  committed  
to  building  a  company  comparable  in  reputation 
to  some  of  the  world’s  leading  global  services      
companies.”

This  year,  we  will  continue  to  leverage  our  investment  in 
integrated  services  to  accelerate  revenue  diversification, 
drive growth and improve margins. At the same time, we will 
be extending into new verticals that are outside information 
and  publishing,  yet  require  our  core  capabilities  in  content 
technologies and information analysis of legal, financial and 
medical  information.  This  is  something  we’ve  been  quietly 
investing in over the past year. As we begin to show our hand 
here,  you’ll  see  that  we’re  making  a  series  of  bets  in  new 
areas promoted by a new level of entrepreneurism within the 
company. You  can  expect  that  these  new  offerings  will  be

PART I 

Disclosures  in  this  Form  10-K  contain  certain  forward-looking  statements,  including  without  limitation, 
statements  concerning  our  operations,  economic  performance,  and  financial  condition.    These  forward-
looking  statements  are  made  pursuant  to  the  safe  harbor  provisions  of  the  Private  Securities  Litigation 
Reform  Act  of  1995.    The  words  “estimate,”  “believe,”  “expect,”  and  “anticipate”  and  other  similar 
expressions generally identify forward-looking statements, which speak only as of their dates. 

These forward-looking statements are based largely on our current expectations, and are subject to a number 
of  risks  and  uncertainties,  including  without  limitation,  the  primarily  at-will  nature  of  the  Company’s 
contracts  with  its  customers;  and  the  ability  of  customers  to  reduce,  delay  or  cancel  projects,  including 
projects  that  the  Company  regards  as  recurring;  continuing  revenue  concentration  in  a  limited  number  of 
clients; continuing reliance on project-based work; inability to replace projects that are completed, cancelled 
or reduced; depressed market conditions; changes in external market factors; the ability and willingness of 
our  clients  and  prospective  clients  to  execute  business  plans  which  give  rise  to  requirements  for  digital 
content  and  professional  services  in  knowledge  processing;  difficulty  in  integrating  and  deriving  synergies 
from  acquisitions;  potential  undiscovered  liabilities  of  companies  we  acquire;  changes  in  our  business  or 
growth strategy; the emergence of new or growing competitors; various other competitive and technological 
factors; and other risks and uncertainties set forth under “Risk Factors.”  

Our actual results could differ materially from the results referred to in the forward-looking statements.  In 
light of these risks and uncertainties, there can be no assurance that the results referred to in the forward-
looking statements contained in this release will occur. 

We undertake no obligation to update or review any guidance or other forward-looking information, whether 
as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise. 

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, 

1 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
  
 
 
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.  

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. 

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 deliver research 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.  

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 

4 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
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.  

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 

5 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
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  27001:2005 
specifications. 

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. 

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.

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 

8 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
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.  

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 

9 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
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.  

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.  

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.  

10 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
  
 
 
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. 

11 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
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.  

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 

12 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
  
 
 
 
inflation,  external  debt,  a  negative  balance  of  trade  and  underemployment.    Other  risks  associated  with  our 
international business activities include:  

•  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 

13 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
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.  

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 

14 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
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.  

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 

15 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
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.  

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 

16 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
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.  

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 

17 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
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.  

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.

The Company has never paid cash dividends on its Common Stock and does not anticipate that it will 
do so in the foreseeable future.  The future payment of dividends, if any, on the Common Stock is within the

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.

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 

23 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
annual increase in compensation costs of existing employees, compensation costs of new hires in our consulting 
and technology group and other miscellaneous operating costs.  

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.  

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 

24 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
  
 
 
 
 
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.

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 

26 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
the provision for doubtful accounts, approximately $1.2 million, for one of our customers and the compensation 
costs of new sales executives.   

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 

27 

 
 
 
 
 
  
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
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.  

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.

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.

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.

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.  

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 

31 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
  
  
  
  
  
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
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 
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. 

in general and administrative expenses in our 

included

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.

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.    

Foreign currency risk   

We have operations in several international markets that subject  us to foreign currency fluctuations. 

34 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
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.  

          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 

35 

 
 
 
 
  
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
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.

PART III 

The  information  called  for  by  Item  10  is  incorporated  by  reference  from  the  Company’s  definitive 
proxy statement for the 2011 Annual Meeting of Stockholders to be filed pursuant to Regulation 14A under 
the Exchange Act no later than 120 days after the end of the Company’s 2010 fiscal year.

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.

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.  

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.

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 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
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.

At December 31, 2010 and 2009, equipment under capital leases had a  gross cost of approximately 
$1.6 million. Accumulated depreciation of equipment under capital leases was $1.4 million and $1.3 million

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.

         (1)  In 2008, the Company financed the acquisition of certain computer and communications equipment. The 
capital lease obligations bear interest at rates ranging from 6% to 12% and are payable over two to three years. 

             (2)    In  March  2008,  the  Company  renewed  a  vendor  agreement  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. Pursuant to this agreement, the Company was obligated to pay $137,500 on a 
quarterly  basis  over  the  term  of  the  agreement.  As  of  December  31,  2010,  the  Company  paid  the  entire 
obligation.   

Amortization expense was approximately $0.6 million, in each of the three years, in the period ended 

December 31, 2010.  

5.  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.  

Future minimum lease payments, by year and in the aggregate, under non-cancelable operating leases 

with initial or remaining terms of one year or more as of December 31, 2010 (in thousands) are as follows:

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. 

6.  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 

F-16 

 
 
 
 
         
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
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. 

The  following  table  summarizes  the  amounts  recognized  in  accumulated  other  comprehensive

7.  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.   

8.  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.

9.  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.

11.  Segment reporting and concentrations 

The Company operates in one reportable segment.  

The Company’s services revenues are generated principally from its production facilities located in the 
Philippines, India, Sri Lanka and Israel.  The Company does not depend on significant revenues from sources 
internal  to  the  countries  in  which  the  Company  operates;  nevertheless,  the  Company  is  subject  to  certain 
adverse  economic  and  political  risks  relating  to  overseas  economies  in  general,  such  as  inflation,  currency 
fluctuations and regulatory burdens. 

Long-lived assets as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively by geographic region are comprised 

of: 

United States 

Foreign countries:

Three clients generated approximately 39%, 51% and 55% of the Company’s total revenues in the fiscal 
year ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively. No other client accounted for 10% or more of 
revenues during these periods. Further, in the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, revenues from 
non-US clients accounted for 33%, 21% and 21%, respectively, of the Company's revenues.

A  significant  amount  of  the  Company's  revenues  is  derived  from  clients  in  the  publishing  industry. 
Accordingly, the Company's accounts receivable generally include significant amounts due from such clients. 
In  addition,  as  of  December 31,  2010,  approximately  34%  of  the  Company's  accounts  receivable  was  from 
foreign  (principally  European)  clients  and  37%  of  accounts  receivable  was  due  from  three  clients.  As  of 
December 31, 2009, approximately 37% of the Company's accounts receivable was from foreign (principally 
European) clients and 31% of accounts receivable was due from two clients. No other client accounts for 10% 
or more of the receivables as of December 31, 2010 and 2009.

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.

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.
