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

“foster,” “estimate” 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, that contracts may be terminated by clients; projected or committed volumes of work may not materialize; the primarily at-will nature of contracts with
our  Digital  Data  Solutions  clients  and  the  ability  of  these  clients  to  reduce,  delay  or  cancel  projects;  continuing  Digital  Data  Solutions  segment  revenue
concentration  in  a  limited  number  of  clients;  continuing  Digital  Data  Solutions  segment  reliance  on  project-based  work;  inability  to  replace  projects  that  are
completed,  canceled  or  reduced;  our  dependency  on  content  providers  in  our  Media  Intelligence  Solutions  segment;  difficulty  in  integrating  and  deriving
synergies from acquisitions, joint venture and strategic investments; potential undiscovered liabilities of companies and businesses that we may acquire; potential
impairment  of  the  carrying  value  of  goodwill  and  other  acquired  intangible  assets  of  companies  and  businesses  that  we  acquire;  changes  in  our  business  or
growth strategy; 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  our  services;  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 indicated from time to time in our filings with the Securities and Exchange
Commission.

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 Form 10-K 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.

Digital Data Solutions (DDS) Segment

Our  DDS  segment  provides  solutions  to  digital  retailers,  information  services  companies,  publishers  and  enterprises  that  have  one  or  more  of  the
following  broad  business  requirements:  development  of  digital  content  (including  e-books);  development  of  new  digital  information  products;  and  operational
support of existing digital information products and systems.

Many  of  our  clients  are  driving  or  are  responding  to  rapid  and  fundamental  changes  in  the  way  end  users  discover,  consume  and  create  published
information. For some of our publishing and information services clients, this means transforming information products from print to digital; for others, it means
migrating  already-digital  products  from  web-only  distribution  to  multiple-channel  distribution  that  includes  mobile  and  tablet  devices  and  incorporates  mobility,
social platform and semantic search; and for others still, it means re-tooling pure search-based information products into workflow-embedded analytical tools that
combine  content  with  software  to  enable  context-aware  decision-making;  and  for  a  select  number  of  our  information  services  clients,  it  means  embracing  the
content-as-a-service model to integrate content with other tools, applications and data. Each of these transformations requires shifts in products, as well as the
technology and the operations that support them.

For our enterprise publishing clients, changes in the way end users discover, consume and create published information often necessitates replacing old
processes and technologies that generated static, whole documents with new processes and technologies that enable content to reside as modular components
which are re-combined dynamically to create up-to-date, product-specific assembly guides, engineering diagrams/schematics, compliance documentation, field
operations guides and clinical documentation destined for simultaneous access on the web, from PCs, tablets and smartphones.

By blending consulting, technology and operations sourcing with deep domain expertise, we provide measurable outcomes for publishing companies,

information services companies and enterprises through business transformation, accelerating innovation and efficient operations.

Information Product Development

We  help  our  clients  develop  high-value  information  products.  Our  clients  include  four  of  the  ten  largest  information  industry  companies  in  the  world,
spanning  financial,  legal,  healthcare  and  scientific  information.  Information  and  publishing  is  a  $1.6  trillion  industry  consisting  of  more  than  7,000  publishers,
information providers and software service firms worldwide. Many of our clients specialize in the scientific, technical and medical (STM) area (estimated revenues
of $137.4 billion) and the legal and regulatory (L&R) area (estimated revenues of $22.7 billion)1.

Both STM and L&R publishers make some or all of their revenues from the sale of information products created from the primary and secondary data

produced by professionals and researchers (in the case of STM) or courts, legislatures, administrative bodies and rule-making institutions (in the case of L&R).

We  enable  our  clients  to  rapidly  develop  new  digital  products  without  direct  investments  in  staff,  facilities  and  technology.  We  embrace  agile
development  methodologies  that  provide  the  benefits  of  early  solution  visualization  and  an  iterative  development  process  that  spans  content,  technology  and
user  interface  development.  We  use  a  combination  of  onsite  project  management,  onshore  solutions  architecture  and  offshore  globally  distributed  teams  of
developers, analysts and subject-matter experts.

For example, a leading legal publisher sought to develop a new digital product that would provide lawyers and compliance officers a workflow tool for rule
checking, rapid research and fact checking. The new digital tool needed to be accessible via laptops, smart phones and tablet devices. Moreover, it needed to
be updated daily to maintain pace with rapid regulatory developments (it was destined to replace a printed loose-leaf series that was updated only monthly). Our
technology architects, developers and content analysts designed and implemented the new digital tool within budget and on schedule. Using the new digital tool,
lawyers and compliance officers can now confidently react faster to their clients’ increased regulatory burdens with up-to-date information.

For  another  leading  global  publisher,  we  developed  an  eReader  application  designed  specifically  for  complex  professional  reference  material.  The
publisher  saw  an  opportunity  to  increase  sales  by  re-publishing  its  printed  reference  works  as  e-books,  but  was  unable  to  market  them  as  e-books  because
existing eReader applications were built for simple fiction and trade books. We developed an eReader application for the client that changed this – it enabled
advanced search, linking and cross-references to external sources, subscriber annotations, frequent textual updates and a host of other functions the publisher
required in order to distribute its complex reference books as e-books over the iPad® as well as Android ® and Windows-enabled mobile devices.

Operational Support

We  help  our  clients  significantly  lower  the  cost  of  maintaining  their  high-value  information  products,  applications  and  systems.  Clients  for  which  we
perform  such  services  include  five  of  the  top  ten  leading  legal,  tax  and  regulatory  information  providers,  three  of  the  top  ten  credit  and  financial  information
providers, and four of the top ten scientific, technical and medical information providers. Relative to information products, our focus is on the underlying “content
supply  chain”  activities  that  are  necessary  to  maintain  the  product.  These  activities  often  include  content  aggregation;  extraction;  encoding;  indexing  and
abstracting; fabrication; and distribution. We deliver these activities on an outsourced basis.

For  example,  for  an  $8  billion  leading  provider  of  financial  and  news  information,  we  aggregate  public  source  documentation  from  a  variety  of

government agencies, which we transform, analyze and extract in order to support a real-time, high-value information product.

For a leading wholesale textbook distributor, we provided support and maintenance for its digital book platform, including its customizable bookshelf and

eReader applications and its conversion and fulfillment processes.

Digital Content Supply Chain Strategy

We work with clients at a strategic business and technology level to address business process and technology challenges related to digital content supply
chain  optimization  and  strategy.  By  aligning  operations  and  technology  with  business  goals,  we  help  businesses  accelerate  new  product  development  and
introduction; control cost; consolidate and leverage technology investment; and obtain benefits of scale.

For  a  multinational  information  services  company,  we  worked  in  conjunction  with  the  client’s  internal  teams  to  design  new  content  architectures  and
implement new content technologies that enabled the client to migrate its operations away from process and technologies designed primarily for print output to
new processes and technologies that were designed around the nature of the content itself and supported multiple simultaneous delivery channels.

A  global  information  company  had  acquired  two  businesses  that  each  collected,  processed  and  managed  some  of  the  same  public  law  content.  The
company  recognized  the  opportunity  to  reduce  cost  by  consolidating  the  processing  of  this  overlapping  content.  To  accomplish  this  cost  savings,  we
implemented  a  new,  consolidated  workflow  system  using  Alfresco  and  jBPM  which  provided  a  common  framework  for  content  reuse,  while  enabling  content
enrichment processes to be performed by external and internal resources in a fully managed environment.

For  a  publisher  of  legal  treatises  and  practice  guides  and  provider  of  on-demand  learning,  we  created  a  future-state  vision  of  operational  workflows
required to support an increasing array of technologies and online products. This future-state vision included recommendations regarding process improvements
and new technologies.

Innodata Advanced Data Solutions (IADS) Segment

Many  enterprises  are  embracing  new  digital  information  technologies  and  workflow  processes  within  their  operations  in  order  to  improve  internal
decision-support  systems.  We  formed  our  IADS  segment  in  mid-2011  to  design  and  develop  new  capabilities  to  enable  clients  in  the  financial  services,
insurance, medical and healthcare sectors to improve decision-support through digital technologies. We believe that by creating and commercializing innovative
business strategies and technology solutions we will be able to accelerate our growth and reduce our revenue volatility.

IADS operates through two subsidiaries: Synodex and docGenix. As of December 31, 2017, we owned 91% of Synodex and 94% of docGenix.

The main focus of the Synodex business is the extraction and classification of data from unstructured medical records in an innovative way to provide
improved data service capabilities for insurance underwriting, insurance claims, medical records management and clinical trial support services. Synodex has
developed and deployed its APS.Extract® product for specific use with life insurance underwriting and claims.

At the end of 2017, Synodex had 11 clients, including RGA Reinsurance Company, the principal operating subsidiary of Reinsurance Group of America,
Incorporated  (NYSE:  RGA),  one  of  the  top  10  largest  providers  of  life  reinsurance  in  the  world  according  to  A.M.  Best,  and  John  Hancock  Insurance,  the
insurance  operating  unit  of  John  Hancock  Financial  (a  division  of  Manulife)  and  one  of  the  largest  life  insurers  in  the  United  States.  Synodex  is  engaged  in
business discussions with other reinsurance companies and insurance carriers that have expressed interest in utilizing its services.

The  main  focus  of  the  docGenix  business  is  the  extraction  and  classification  of  data  from  unstructured  legal  documents  in  order  to  improve  an

organization’s ability to analyze documentation and feed actionable data to downstream applications.

We  offer  docGenix  services  to  banks  and  hedge  funds.  One  of  our  clients,  a  large  New  York-based  global  investments  company  party  to  more  than
5,000 derivative contracts, utilizes the docGenix service and software platforms to monitor and react to market changes and counterparty and collateral changes
and to comply with increasing regulatory requirements. Prior to utilizing docGenix, these were slow and resource-intensive activities because contract creation,
storage  and  retrieval  processes  were  all  still  paper  or  image  based.  Using  docGenix’s  system,  complex  derivative  contracts  are  transformed  into  machine
readable,  computer-addressable  data  that  is  down-streamed  to  risk  collateral  and  other  mission-critical  systems,  and  users  can  perform  multi-dimensional,
complex queries instantaneously.

Media Intelligence Solutions (MIS) Segment

Our MIS segment operates through our Agility PR Solutions and Bulldog Reporter subsidiaries. In December 2016, we rebranded the MediaMiser and

Agility PR Solutions products under the name Agility PR Solutions.

Agility Illuminate (formerly known as Agility Enterprise) provides media monitoring and analysis solutions and professional services to several Fortune
500 companies and Canadian government institutions, as well as small- and medium-sized businesses. Agility Enterprise enables companies to reduce the time
and effort required to extract, analyze and share valuable business intelligence from traditional and online media sources.

Agility  Illuminates’s  proprietary  technology  platform  monitors,  aggregates,  analyzes  and  distributes  summaries  of  coverage  from  more  than  200,000
content sources including traditional and digital media. The platform includes a powerful sentiment analysis engine that identifies whether opinions expressed in
a particular document are positive, negative or neutral.

Increasingly, organizations seek to quantify the impact of public relations (PR) and communications activities and to understand what is being said about
them across traditional and digital media. Social media has also dramatically changed how organizations manage and respond to crisis. Organizations need to
respond quickly to negative customer feedback or coverage and track ongoing conversations in order to protect their brand and reputation. Agility Illuminate, with
its powerful analytics and human augmented analysis and reporting, is designed to fit these needs.

Agility Connect is a global media contact database and email distribution platform, and Agility Capture provides additional self-service media monitoring
and analytics capabilities. We acquired these two Agility products from PR Newswire in July 2016. Together with Agility Illuminate, these products enable Agility
to offer self and full-service solutions that address the entire communications life cycle – from identifying influencers, amplifying messages, monitoring coverage,
to measuring impact.

Bulldog Reporter is a news aggregation service for the PR and corporate communications professionals. Bulldog Reporter publishes a well-known daily
e-newsletter, the Daily Dog. In addition, it offers a paid subscription service focused specifically on the health industry, a daily e-newsletter—Inside Health Media
—that  provides  a  health-related  media  list  and  media  intelligence  services  by  leveraging  the  data  from  Agility  platform.  Bulldog  Reporter  also  manages  a  PR
industry awards program—the Bulldog Awards—which recognizes PR and communications professionals in categories including corporate social responsibility,
media relations, digital and social marketing, not-for-profit activity and overall outstanding PR performance.

With considerable consolidation and slowing growth in the overall media intelligence market, Agility PR Solutions is carving out a niche with a focus on
influencer targeting, advanced media analytics and editorially enriched full-service options that provide context and clarity that automated solutions alone cannot
provide. This focus on technology as well as customer service differentiates Agility PR Solutions from the clippings-origin and self-service monitoring competitors
in the market.

Our Global Operations

We provide our services using a globally distributed workforce utilizing advanced technologies that automate portions of our process and help ensure

that our work product is highly accurate and consistent.

Our delivery centers in Asia are ISO 27001 certified. In addition, we comply with the requirements of the United States Health Insurance Portability and
Accountability  Act  of  1996  as  amended  (HIPAA)  (including  by  the  Health  Information  Technology  for  Economic  and  Clinical  Health  Data  (HITECH))  and  the
United  Kingdom’s  Data  Protection  Act  1998  (DPA),  as  applicable.  Innodata  is  certified  to  the  EU-U.S.  Privacy  Shield  framework,  which  certification  includes
Synodex,  docGenix,  Agility  PR  Solutions  and  Bulldog  Reporter  as  covered  entities.  We  encrypt  all  individual  protected  health  information,  both  at  rest  and  in
motion, to the AES 256 or similar standard, and we employ a range of security features including monitored firewalls and intrusion detection devices.

For our data extraction services, we maintain staff in a wide spectrum of disciplines, including medicine, law, engineering, management, finance, science

and the humanities.

Our services are organized and managed around three vectors: a vertical industry focus, a horizontal service/process focus, and a supportive operations

focus.

The vertically-aligned groups understand our clients’ businesses and strategic initiatives. The vertical group for each particular industry includes experts

hired from that industry.

Our service/process-aligned groups include engineering personnel and delivery personnel. Our engineering teams are responsible for creating secure
and efficient custom workflows and integrating proprietary and third-party technologies 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.

Our  globally  distributed  delivery  personnel  are  responsible  for  executing  our  client  engagements  in  accordance  with  service-level  agreements.  We

deliver services from facilities in the United States, the Philippines, India, Sri Lanka, Israel, United Kingdom, Germany and Canada.

Other  support  groups  are  responsible  for  managing  diverse  enabling  functions  including  human  resources,  organizational  development,  network  and

communications technology infrastructure support and physical infrastructure and facilities management.

Our sales staff, program managers and consultants operate primarily from our North American and European locations, as well as from client sites.

Our Opportunity

Rapid changes in digital content technologies have created the need for all sorts of companies to refashion their product offerings and their operations.
Media,  publishing  and  information  services  companies  contend  with  new  monetization  models,  delivery  platforms,  and  channels.  They  seek  to  develop  new
digital products as print product revenue wanes; to broaden their markets by distributing content over the iPad®, iPhone®, Android and other portable devices;
and to monetize existing content in new, highly targeted custom products through flexible reuse and repurposing.

Meanwhile,  for  enterprises  that  rely  on  content  to  support  operations,  this  shift  to  digital  technology  offers  opportunities  to  improve  internal  decision
support  and  risk  mitigation  in  complex  data  operations  by  harnessing  the  power  of  machine-readable,  digital  data  to  drive  improved  decision  support.  For
enterprises that rely on content to support products, this shift to digital technology offers opportunities to create and manage content more efficiently, while at the
same time distributing content through an increased number of channels.

As a result, media, publishing and information services companies, and content-intensive enterprises, are increasingly relying on service providers, such
as Innodata, to provide digital content-related services. These services increasingly involve using advanced technologies such as machine learning and artificial
intelligence (AI) to extract meaningful data from unstructured data in cost efficient ways.

Clients

Two  clients  in  our  DDS  segment  each  generated  more  than  10%  of  our  total  revenues  in  the  2017  and  2016  fiscal  years.  In  2017,  revenues  from
Wolters Kluwer affiliated companies (the “WK Clients”) were approximately $11.5 million or 19% of total revenues, and revenues from Reed Elsevier affiliated
companies (the “RE Clients”) were approximately $6.7 million, or 11% of total revenues. No other client generated more than 10% of our total revenues in 2017.
These two clients together generated approximately 31% of our total revenues in each of the fiscal years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016. Revenues from
clients located in foreign countries (principally in Europe) accounted for 51% of our total revenues for the year ended December 31, 2017 and 49% of our total
revenues for the year ended December 31, 2016.

We have long-standing relationships with many of our clients, and we have provided services to the two clients mentioned in the preceding paragraph for
over ten years. Our track record of delivering high-quality services helps us to solidify client relationships. Many of our clients are recurring clients, meaning that
they have continued to provide additional projects to us after our initial engagement with them.

Our  contractual  arrangements  with  the  RE  Clients  during  2017  consisted  of  three  master  services  agreements  (“MSAs”)  and  separately  agreed  to
statements of work (“SOWs”) for specific services. Two of the MSAs have indefinite terms and the third MSA has a term that ends on October 31, 2019. RE
Clients may terminate the MSAs on notice periods ranging from zero to six months, and they may terminate certain individual SOWs on notice periods of up to
90 days. They may also terminate certain of the MSAs and SOWs on notice periods of three months or less for “cause” and for insolvency related events, and on
changes of control, force majeure and the imposition of certain price increases by the Company that are not acceptable to them. We may terminate two of the
MSAs on notice periods of 180 days, and we 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  2017  consisted  of  four  MSAs  and  separately  agreed  to  SOWs  for  specific
services. Two MSAs have indefinite terms, one MSA continues in effect until the completion of all services performed under the MSA, and the fourth MSA has a
term that ends on the later of March 2, 2019 or the expiration date of all SOWs issued under the MSA. WK Clients may terminate certain MSAs on notice periods
of 30 days, and they may terminate certain individual SOWs on notice periods ranging from 10 days to six 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. We may terminate certain of the MSAs on notice periods of 30 days, and we 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 to their requirements.

Our  focus  on  quality.       We  have  achieved  a  reputation  with  our  clients  for  consistent  high-quality.  We  maintain  independent  quality  assurance
capabilities  in  all  geographies  where  we  have  delivery  centers.  Our  quality  assurance  teams  in  Asia  are  compliant  and  certified  to  the  ISO  9001:2008  quality
management system standards.

Our  global  delivery  model.       We  have  operations  in  eight  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.

Our proven track record and reputation.    By consistently providing high-quality services, we have achieved a track record of client successes. This track
record is reflected in our reputation as a leading service provider within the media, publishing and information services sector. Our reputation and brand connote
an assurance of expertise, quality execution and risk mitigation.

Our focus on technology and engineering innovation.       Our  engineering  and  IT  teams  integrate  proprietary  and  best-in-class  third  party  tools  into  our
workflows  to  drive  as  much  automation  as  possible.  In  addition,  our  engineering  and  IT  teams  provide  services  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 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 staff quickly in order to service diverse and often large-scale needs of our clients.

Our internal infrastructure.    We own and operate some of the most advanced content delivery centers 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 industry standard
redundancy,  often  with  more  than  one  backup  to  help  ensure  24x7  availability.    Our  infrastructure  is  built  to  accommodate  advanced  tools,  processes  and
technologies that support our content and technical experts. We encrypt all individual protected health information, both at rest and in motion, to the AES 256 or
similar standard, and we employ a range of security features including managed firewalls and intrusion services.

Sales and Marketing

For our DDS and IADS segments we market and sell our services directly through our professional staff, senior management and direct sales personnel
operating primarily from various locations in the U.S., and for our MIS segment we market and sell our services primarily from our offices in Canada and the
United Kingdom and through our personnel in the U.S. Our corporate headquarters is located at Ridgefield Park, New Jersey, just outside New York City. During
2017,  we  had  four  executive-level  business  development  and  marketing  professionals  and  approximately  45  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  marketing  department  and  sales  professionals  work  together  to  generate  leads.  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
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.

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

As  part  of  our  marketing  strategy  we  partner  with  media  organizations  to  build  awareness,  establish  a  reputation  as  an  industry  thought  leader,  and
generate  leads.  Media  partners  include  trade  associations  and  publications,  trade  show  producers  and  consulting  organizations.  These  partnerships  are
particularly valuable in enterprise industries as we build our presence among digital content leaders and decision makers.

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

Sales activities include lead generation, nurturing leads, engaging in discussions with prospective customers to understand their needs, demonstrating

our products, designing solutions, responding to requests for proposals, and managing account and client relationships and activities.

Personnel from our solutions analysis group, our client services 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.

Research and Development

We incurred $0.5 million and $0.1 million in research and development costs in our DDS segment for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016,
respectively. We did not incur any research and development costs for our IADS segment in either of the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016. Our MIS
segment incurred research and development costs of $0.6 million and $0.9 million for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

Competition

Our  Digital  Data  Solutions  segment  operates  in  a  highly  competitive,  fragmented  and  intense  market.  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 in this market by offering high-quality services and competitive pricing that leverage our technical skills, IT infrastructure, offshore model and
economies of scale. Our competitive advantages are especially attractive to clients for undertakings that are technically challenging, are sizable in scope or scale,
are continuing, or that require a highly fail-safe environment with technology redundancy.

The Synodex subsidiary of our IADS segment competes in the insurance data analysis industry with an initial focus on applying innovative technology to
speed accurate decision making and to improve productivity in the processing of medical files for the life insurance industry. Major competitors are Risk Righter,
EMSI, Parameds, and other BPO companies all of whom are large firms with established client bases. We also compete with in-house personnel at existing or
prospective clients who may attempt to duplicate our services in-house or use alternative approaches to fulfill their needs.

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 we 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.  Two  clients  in  our  DDS
segment  generated  approximately  31%  of  our  total  revenues  in  each  of  the  fiscal  years  ended  December  31,  2017  and  2016,  respectively.  No  other  client
accounted for 10% or more of total revenues during these periods. Further, in the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, revenues from non-US clients
accounted for 51% and 49%, respectively, of our revenues. We may lose any of these clients, or our other major clients, as a result of our failure to meet or
satisfy our client’s 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. They may also request that we modify certain key terms of our agreements with them as a condition of continuing to do business with us. If the volume of
work  performed  for  our  major  clients  varies,  if  the  services  they  require  from  us  change,  or  if  they  require  price  concessions,  our  revenues  and  results  of
operations could be adversely affected, and we may incur a loss from operations. If certain key terms of our agreements with our major clients are modified, our
revenues and results of operations may be adversely affected. Our services are typically subject to client requirements, and in many cases are terminable upon
30 to 90 days’ notice.

Our liquidity could be affected if our losses continue.

We believe that our existing cash and cash equivalents and internally generated funds will provide sufficient sources of liquidity to satisfy our financial
needs for the next 12 months. However, we have no bank facilities or lines of credit, and continuing material reductions in our cash and cash equivalents from
operating losses, capital expenditures, adverse legal decisions, acquisitions or otherwise could materially and adversely affect the Company. See “Management
Discussion and Analysis – Liquidity and Capital Resources” for information on (i) our cash and cash equivalents that declined to $11.4 million at December 31,
2017 from $14.2 million at December 31, 2016, (ii) the portion of our cash and cash equivalents that at December 31, 2017 was held by our foreign subsidiaries
and that can be repatriated to the United States and is subject to applicable withholding taxes in the foreign jurisdictions where we operate, (iii) the cash used in
our operating activities as a result of our net loss in 2017, (iv) the cash used in 2017 in our investing activities for the acquisition and integration of Agility and
capital expenditures and (v) our current plans for the use of our cash and cash equivalents.

Our common stock may become subject to delisting from The Nasdaq Stock Market.

Nasdaq may under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810 delist the Company’s common stock if the closing bid price for its common stock is less than $1.00 per

share for 30 consecutive business days and the Company does not thereafter cure all listing deficiencies during Nasdaq-designated compliance periods.

A  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. 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  portion  of  our  revenue  is  generated  from  projects  which  we  characterize  as  recurring  in  nature.  Projects  that  we  characterize  as  recurring  are
nevertheless subject to termination.

Our operating performance is materially dependent on the continuation of these projects. However, we are exposed to risks where these projects could
be terminated by our clients and we may not be able to replace these terminated projects with new recurring projects with similar profitability or clients may ask
for a price reduction which could adversely affect our revenue and results of operations.

Our  solutions  for  the  MIS  segment  are  sold  pursuant  to  subscription  agreements,  and  if  subscription  clients  elect  either  not  to  renew  these
agreements, or to renew these agreements for less expensive services, our revenues and results of operations will be adversely affected.

Our MIS segment derives its revenues primarily from subscription arrangements. Our clients may choose not to renew subscription agreements when
they expire or may renew them at lower prices or for a significantly narrower scope of work. If large numbers of existing subscription clients do not renew these
agreements  or  renew  these  agreements  on  terms  less  favorable  to  us,  and  if  we  cannot  replace  or  supplement  those  non-renewals  with  new  subscription
agreements generating the same or greater level of revenue, our revenues and results of operations will be adversely affected.

The Synodex and docGenix subsidiaries in our IADS segment have incurred significant losses since their inception in 2011 .

We have invested significant amounts in the Synodex and docGenix subsidiaries of our IADS segment. Our cumulative investment net of revenues in
these subsidiaries as of December 31, 2017 was $33.6 million, consisting of $26.6 million in operating expenses and $7.0 million in capital expenditures. In the
third quarter of 2013 we wrote off all the fixed assets of IADS, and we have expensed all investments in IADS since that date. During 2017, these subsidiaries
generated approximately $4.8 million in revenues and incurred a net loss of $0.6 million net of inter-segment profits. Our operations and financial condition will
be adversely affected if IADS fails to generate meaningful revenues and margins.

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

In  July  2016,  we  acquired  the  Agility  business  from  PR  Newswire,  comprised  of  what  we  now  refer  to  as  the  Agility  Connect  and  Agility  Capture
products, pursuant to an asset purchase agreement. Agility is a global media contact database and email distribution platform and Agility Plus provides additional
self-service media monitoring and analytics capabilities. In July 2014, we acquired MediaMiser Ltd., a Canada-based provider of automated, real-time traditional
and social media monitoring services, and in December 2014, we acquired intellectual property and related assets of Bulldog Reporter from Sirius Information,
Inc.

We  may  pursue  additional  acquisitions,  joint  ventures  or  engage  in  strategic  investments  or  partnerships  to  grow  and  enhance  our  capabilities.  We
cannot  assure  that  we  will  successfully  consummate  any  acquisitions  or  joint  ventures,  or  profit  by  strategic  investments,  or  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 with our current business. Accordingly, we might fail to realize the expected benefits or strategic objectives of any such venture 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.

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, 2017, 51% or $5.2 million, of our
accounts receivable was due from three clients. See “Liquidity and Capital Resources.”

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  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 clients, 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 net income ranged from a profit of approximately $3,000 in the first quarter of 2016 to a loss of approximately $2.8 million in the third quarter
of 2016.

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 or on terms that are as attractive to us as the project that is being replaced. 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 discounts or special pricing incentives as we do more business
with them; moreover, our large clients may exercise pressure for discounts outside of agreed terms.

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,  or  if  we  underestimate  the  costs  or  complexities  of  new  projects  and  incur  losses,  our
profitability  could  suffer.  The  rates  we  are  able  to  recover  for  our  services  are  affected  by  a  number  of  factors,  including  competition,  volume  fluctuations,
productivity of employees and processes, the value 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.

We may not be able to obtain price increases that are necessary to offset the effect of wage inflation and other government mandated cost increases.

We  have  experienced  wage  inflation  and  other  government  mandated  cost  increases  in  the  Asian  countries  where  we  have  the  majority  of  our
operations. In addition, we may experience 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, foreign currency fluctuations and other such increases through price increases and
improving our efficiency, we cannot ensure that we will 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.

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  sunset  their  products  because  of  lack  of  sufficient  revenues  or  declining  revenues,  and  this  may  result  in  termination  of  our
work for these clients.

As  we  obtain  new  opportunities  and  win  new  business,  our  clients  may  not  generate  the  level  of  revenues  that  we  initially  anticipated  at  the  time  of
signing a contract with them, or our clients may experience declining revenues with their existing products. This could be due to various reasons beyond our
control, and it could lead to termination of projects or contracts. As we normally invest in people or technology and incur other costs in anticipation of revenues,
any such 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 information technology and consulting services industries are characterized by rapid technological change, evolving industry standards, changing
client preferences, new product and service introductions and the emergence of new vendors with lean cost and flexible cost models. 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.  We  also  cannot  guarantee  that  we  will  be  able  to  compete  effectively  with  new  vendors  offering  lean  cost  and  flexible  cost
models,  or  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 revenue proportionately, our
profitability may be reduced, or we may incur losses.

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. In
addition, for our Synodex and docGenix subsidiaries of our IADS segment, we utilize third party data centers to serve our clients and generate revenue. Any
disruption in provision of services from these data centers could result in loss of revenue, client dissatisfaction and loss of clients.

Our MIS segment relies on third parties to provide certain content and data for our solutions, and if those third-parties discontinue providing their
content, our revenue and results of operations could be adversely affected.

Our  MIS  segment  relies  on  third  parties  to  provide  or  make  available  certain  data  for  our  information  databases  and  our  news  and  social  media
monitoring service. These third parties may not renew agreements to provide content to us or may increase the price they charge for their content. Additionally,
the quality of the content provided to us may not be acceptable to us and we may need to enter into agreements with additional third parties. In the event we are
unable to use such third-party content or are unable to enter into agreements with new third parties, current clients may discontinue their relationship with us,
and it may be difficult to acquire new clients.

Our businesses are reliant on key employees, and we may face high attrition in our talent. We may not be able to replace displaced talent with new
talent on a timely basis or with equivalent skill sets.

We  are  reliant  to  a  considerable  degree  on  the  continuing  leadership  of  our  Chief  Executive  Officer  and  would  be  materially  and  adversely  affected
should he unexpectedly not be employed by us. In addition, our businesses are subject to fierce competition for talent which could result in high attrition of our
employees,  or  we  may  not  be  able  to  find  the  requisite  talent  to  operate  our  businesses.  A  significant  increase  in  the  attrition  rate  among  employees  with
specialized skills could decrease our operating efficiency and productivity. 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. In addition, fluctuations in our business may require that we lay off employees with possible negative effects on
employee morale. We try to minimize these risks by actively promoting employee relationships and offering competitive salaries, but if we cannot mitigate these
risks, our business and our operating performance could be adversely affected.

We compete in highly competitive markets.

The  markets  for  our  services  are  highly  competitive.  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. 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. If we are not able to
compete effectively, our revenues and results of operations could be adversely affected.

We operate from multiple locations and our employees are very diverse so we have significant coordination risks.

We are headquartered in Ridgefield Park, New Jersey, just outside New York City, and our Media Intelligence Solutions business is headquartered in
Ottawa, Canada and has an additional location in London, United Kingdom. We have ten delivery centers in the Philippines, India, Sri Lanka, Canada, Germany,
United  Kingdom  and  Israel.  Our  employees  are  geographically  dispersed  as  well  as  culturally  diverse.  Our  personnel  need  to  work  together  to  successfully
execute our business plans and we invest in various measures to improve coordination and teamwork. Should we fail in these efforts our ability to execute our
business plans may be adversely affected.

Our intellectual property rights are valuable, and if we are unable to protect them or are subject to intellectual property rights claims, our business
may be harmed.

Our intellectual property rights include certain trademarks, trade secrets, domain name registrations, a patent and patent applications. Although we take
precautions  to  protect  our  intellectual  property  rights,  these  efforts  may  not  be  sufficient  or  effective.  In  addition,  various  events  outside  of  our  control  pose  a
threat  to  our  intellectual  property  rights  as  well  as  to  our  business.    If  we  are  unable  to  protect  our  intellectual  property,  we  may  experience  difficulties  in
achieving and maintaining brand recognition.

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 United States and Canada offices, as well as from client
sites; and our offshore workforce provides services from our nine offshore delivery centers in the Philippines, India, Sri Lanka, Germany, United Kingdom and
Israel. 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, or the availability of our platforms, could result in a disruption in our business, which could hinder
our  performance,  or  our  ability  to  complete  client  projects  on  time,  or  provide  services  to  our  clients.  This,  in  turn,  could  lead  to  client  dissatisfaction  and  an
adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

A material breach in security relating to our information systems could adversely affect us.

Even though we have implemented network security measures, our servers may be vulnerable to computer viruses, cyber-attacks, break-ins and similar
disruptions  from  unauthorized  tampering.  The  occurrence  of  any  of  the  events  described  above  could  result  in  interruptions,  delays,  the  loss  or  corruption  of
data,  cessations  in  the  availability  of  systems  or  liability  under  privacy  laws  or  contracts,  each  of  which  could  have  a  material  adverse  effect  on  our  financial
position and results of operations.

Governmental  and  client  focus  on  data  security  could  increase  our  costs  of  operations.  In  addition,  any  incident  in  which  we  fail  to  protect  our
client’s  information  against  security  breaches  may  result  in  monetary  damages  against  us,  and  termination  of  our  engagement  by  our  client,  and
may adversely impact our results of operations.

Certain  laws  and  regulations  regarding  data  privacy  and  security  affecting  our  clients  impose  requirements  regarding  the  privacy  and  security  of
information maintained by these clients, as well as notification to persons whose personal information is accessed by an unauthorized third party. As a result of
any  continuing  legislative  initiatives  and  client  demands,  we  may  have  to  modify  our  operations  with  the  goal  of  further  improving  data  security.  The  cost  of
compliance with these laws and regulations is high and is likely to increase in the future. Any such modifications may result in increased expenses and operating
complexity, and we may be unable to increase the rates we charge for our services sufficiently to offset these increases. In addition, as part of the service we
perform, we have access to confidential client data, including sensitive personal data. As a result, we are subject to numerous laws and regulations designed to
protect this information. We may also be bound by certain client agreements to use and disclose the confidential client information in a manner consistent with
the  privacy  standards  under  regulations  applicable  to  such  client.  Any  failure  on  our  part  to  comply  with  these  laws  and  regulations  can  result  in  negative
publicity and diversion of management time and effort and may subject us to significant liabilities and other penalties.

If  client  confidential  information  is  inappropriately  disclosed  due  to  a  breach  of  our  computer  systems,  system  failures  or  otherwise,  or  if  any  person,
including any of our employees, negligently disregards or intentionally breaches controls or procedures with which we are responsible for complying with respect
to such data or otherwise mismanages or misappropriates that data, we may have substantial liabilities to our clients. Any incidents with respect to the handling
of  such  information  could  subject  us  to  litigation  or  indemnification  claims  with  our  clients  and  other  parties.  In  addition,  any  breach  or  alleged  breach  of  our
confidentiality agreements with our clients may result in termination of their engagements, resulting in associated loss of revenue and increased costs.

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, Israel, United Kingdom, Canada and Germany, 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 Asian countries in which we operate, we are nevertheless subject to certain adverse economic factors relating to overseas economies generally,
including inflation, external debt, a negative balance of trade and underemployment. In certain of the countries in which we operate tax authorities may exercise
significant discretionary and arbitrary powers to make tax demands or decline to refund payments that may be due to us as per tax returns. 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;

• data privacy laws and regulation;

• labor disputes and related litigation and liability;

• intellectual property laws and enforcement practices;

• limitations on repatriation of earnings; and

• changing laws and regulations, occasionally with retroactive effect.

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

Our international business is subject to applicable laws and regulations relating to foreign corrupt practices, the violation of which could adversely
affect our operations.

We must comply with all applicable anti-bribery laws and regulations of the U.S. and other jurisdictions where we operate. For example, we are subject
to the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and the U.K. Bribery Act relating to corrupt and illegal payments to government officials and others . Although we have
policies and controls in place that are designed to ensure compliance with these laws and regulations, it is possible that an employee or an agent acting on our
behalf could fail to comply with applicable laws and regulations, and due to the complex nature of the risks, it may not always be possible for us to ascertain
compliance with such laws and regulations. In such event, we could be exposed to civil penalties, criminal penalties and other sanctions, including fines or other
unintended punitive actions, and we could incur substantial legal fees and related expenses. In addition, such violations could damage our business and/or our
reputation. All of the foregoing could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and operating results.

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

Although most of our revenues are denominated in U.S. dollars, a significant portion of our revenues is denominated in Canadian dollars, Pound Sterling
and Euros. In addition, a significant portion of our expenses, primarily labor expenses in the Philippines, India, Sri Lanka, Germany, Canada, United Kingdom
and  Israel,  is  incurred  in  the  local  currencies  of  the  countries  in  which  we  operate.  For  financial  reporting  purposes,  we  translate  all  non-U.S.  denominated
transactions into U.S. dollars in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. Thus, we are exposed to the risk that fluctuations
in the value of these currencies relative to the U.S. dollar could have a direct impact on our revenues and our results of operations.

Similarly,  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. Although we selectively undertake hedging activities to mitigate certain of these
risks, our hedging activities may not be effective and may result in losses.

Fluctuations in exchange rates also affect the value of funds held by our foreign subsidiaries. We do not currently intend to hedge these assets.

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 in the Philippines, and the Company assesses the likelihood of outcomes resulting from these examinations to determine the adequacy of its provision
for income taxes. Although we believe our tax estimates are reasonable, the final determination of tax audits could be materially different from what is reflected in
historical income tax and indirect tax provisions and accruals, and could result in a material effect on the Company’s income tax provision, indirect tax expenses,
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,  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.

In  2015,  our  Indian  subsidiary  was  subject  to  an  inquiry  by  the  Service  Tax  Bureau  in  India  regarding  the  classification  of  services  provided  by  this
subsidiary, asserting that the services provided by this subsidiary fall under the category of online information and database access or retrieval services (OID
Services), and not under the category of business support services (BS Services) that are exempt from service tax as historically indicated in our service tax
filings. In the event the Service Tax Bureau is successful in proving that our services fall under the category of OID Services, the revenue earned by our Indian
subsidiary would be subject to a service tax of approximately 14.5% and this would increase our operating costs. The revenues of our Indian subsidiary in 2017
were $15.6 million. We disagree with the Service Tax Bureau’s position and contest these assertions vigorously.

In 2016, our Indian subsidiary received notices of appeal from the Commissioner, Service Tax, seeking to reverse service tax refunds previously granted
to  us  for  certain  quarters  in  2014,  asserting  that  the  services  provided  by  this  subsidiary  fall  under  the  category  of  OID  Services  and  not  BS  Services.  We
disagree with the basis of these appeals and are contesting them vigorously. We expect delays in receiving service tax refunds until the appeals are adjudicated
with finality.

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 effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

If tax authorities in any of the jurisdictions in which we operate contest the manner in which we allocate our profits, our net income could decrease.

A significant portion of the services we provide to our clients are provided by our Asian subsidiaries located in different jurisdictions. Tax authorities in
some of these jurisdictions have from time to time challenged 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  of  our  foreign  subsidiaries  are  subject  to  preferential  tax  rates  or  enjoy  tax  subsidies  from  the  government.  In  addition,  one  of  our  foreign
subsidiaries  enjoys  a  tax  holiday.  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,  or  they  may  result  in  lowering  our  expenses.  An  expiration  or  termination  of  these  incentives  could  substantially  increase  our
worldwide effective tax rate, or increase our tax expense, 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 our foreign earnings or if such earnings become subject to U.S. tax
on a current basis.

In December 2017, the President signed the U.S. Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (2017 Tax Act), which includes a broad range of provisions, many of which
significantly differ from those contained in previous U.S. tax law. One such provision relates to a one-time tax on the mandatory deemed repatriation of post-
1986 untaxed foreign earnings and profits (E&P), referred to as the toll charge. A significant portion of our operations are conducted outside the United States.
Despite the access to the overseas earnings and the resulting toll charge, we intend to indefinitely reinvest the foreign earnings in our foreign subsidiaries on
account of the withholding tax that the Company has to incur on the actual remittances. Unremitted earnings of foreign subsidiaries amounted to approximately
$24.8 million at December 31, 2017. If such earnings are repatriated in the future, or are no longer deemed to be indefinitely reinvested, the Company would
have to accrue the applicable amount of withholding taxes associated with such remittances.

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

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 clients 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 or work on projects at a client’s site.

Any visa restrictions or new legislation putting a restriction on issuing visas could affect our business.

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

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

We conduct the majority of our production operations in the Philippines, India, Sri Lanka and Israel. These countries and regions remain vulnerable to

disruptions from political uncertainty, political unrest, terrorist acts, and natural calamities.

Any damage to our network and/or information systems would damage our ability to provide services, in whole or in part, and/or otherwise damage our
operations and could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations. Further, political tensions and escalation of hostilities in
any of these countries could adversely affect our operations 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 and other acts of violence or war could affect us or our clients by disrupting normal business practices for extended periods of time and
reducing business confidence. In addition, acts of violence or war 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 may face various risks associated with shareholder activists or shareholder demands for better performance .

There  is  no  assurance  that  we  will  not  be  subject  to  shareholder  activism  or  demands.  Such  activities  could  interfere  with  our  ability  to  execute  our

strategic plan, be costly and time-consuming, disrupt our operations, and divert the attention of management and our employees.

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

In  2008,  a  judgment  was  rendered  in  the  Philippines  against  a  Philippines  subsidiary  of  the  Company  that  is  no  longer  active  and  purportedly  also
against  Innodata  Inc.,  in  favor  of  certain  former  employees  of  the  Philippines  subsidiary.  The  payment  amount  as  recalculated  in  November  2017  by  the
Philippines Department of Labor and Employment National Labor Relations Commission aggregates approximately $6.2 million, plus legal interest that accrued at
12% per annum from August 13, 2008 to June 30, 2013, and thereafter accrued and continues to accrue at 6% per annum. The payment amount as expressed in
U.S. dollars varies with the Philippine peso to U.S. dollar exchange rate. In December 2017 a group of 97 of the former employees indicated that they proposed
to record the judgment as to them in New Jersey. In January 2018, in response to an action initiated by Innodata Inc., the United States District Court for the
District of New Jersey entered a preliminary injunction that enjoins these former employees from pursuing or seeking recognition or enforcement of the judgment
against Innodata Inc. in the United States during the pendency of the action and until further order of the Court.

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

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

Our  reputation  could  be  damaged  or  our  profitability  could  suffer  if  we  do  not  meet  the  controls  and  procedures  in  respect  of  the  services  and
solutions we provide to our clients, or if we contribute 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 appropriate
certification or opinion 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 fail or to impair our client’s ability to comply with its own internal control requirements.

New and changing corporate governance and public disclosure requirements add uncertainty to our compliance policies and increase our costs of
compliance.

Changing  laws,  regulations  and  standards  relating  to  accounting,  corporate  governance  and  public  disclosure,  including  the  Sarbanes-Oxley  Act  of
2002, other SEC regulations, and the NASDAQ Stock Market rules, are creating uncertainty for companies like ours. These laws, regulations and standards may
lack  specificity  and  are  subject  to  varying  interpretations.  Their  application  in  practice  may  evolve  over  time,  as  new  guidance  is  provided  by  regulatory  and
governing bodies. This could result in continuing uncertainty regarding compliance matters and higher costs of compliance as a result of ongoing revisions to
such corporate governance standards.

Although we are committed to maintaining high standards of corporate governance and public disclosure, and complying with evolving laws, regulations

and standards, if we fail to comply with new or changed laws, regulations or standards of corporate governance, our business and reputation may be harmed.

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 2. Properties.

Our  services  are  primarily  performed  from  our  Ridgefield,  New  Jersey  headquarters  and  ten  overseas  delivery  centers  in  the  Philippines,  India,  Sri

Lanka, Canada, Germany, United Kingdom and Israel, all of which are leased. The square footage of all our leased properties totals approximately 293,000.

In addition, we may need to lease additional property in the future. We believe that we will be able to obtain suitable additional facilities on commercially

reasonable terms on an “as needed” basis.

Item 3. Legal Proceedings.

In  2008,  a  judgment  was  rendered  in  the  Philippines  against  a  Philippines  subsidiary  of  the  Company  that  is  no  longer  active  and  purportedly  also
against  Innodata  Inc.,  in  favor  of  certain  former  employees  of  the  Philippines  subsidiary.  The  payment  amount  as  recalculated  in  November  2017  by  the
Philippines Department of Labor and Employment National Labor Relations Commission aggregates approximately $6.2 million, plus legal interest that accrued at
12% per annum from August 13, 2008 to June 30, 2013, and thereafter accrued and continues to accrue at 6% per annum. The payment amount as expressed in
U.S. dollars varies with the Philippine peso to U.S. dollar exchange rate. In December 2017 a group of 97 of the former employees indicated that they proposed
to record the judgment as to them in New Jersey. In January 2018, in response to an action initiated by Innodata Inc., the United States District Court for the
District of New Jersey entered a preliminary injunction that enjoins these former employees from pursuing or seeking recognition or enforcement of the judgment
against Innodata Inc. in the United States during the pendency of the action and until further order of the Court. The principal relevant cases in the Philippines
are Court of Appeals 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),  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 U.S. District Court action is Civil
Action No.: 2:17-cv-13268-SDW-LDW Innodata Inc. v. Myrna C. Augustin-Simon; et al.

We  are  also  subject  to  various  other  legal  proceedings  and  claims  which  arise  in  the  ordinary  course  of  business.    While  we  believe  that  we  have
adequate reserves for those losses we believe are probable and can be reasonably estimated, the ultimate results of legal proceedings and claims cannot be
predicted with certainty.

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

Revenues

In our DDS segment, we recognize revenues based on the quantity delivered or resources utilized and in the period in which the services are performed
and  delivery  has  occurred.  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.

In our IADS segment, we recognize revenues primarily based on the quantity delivered, and the period in which services are performed and deliverables
are made as per contracts. A portion of our IADS segment revenue is derived from licensing our software and providing access to our hosted software platform.
Revenue from such services are recognized monthly when access to the service is provided to the end user and there are no significant remaining obligations,
persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the fees are fixed or determinable and collection is reasonably assured.

Our  MIS  segment  derives  its  revenues  primarily  from  subscription  arrangements  and  provision  of  enriched  media  analysis  services.  Revenue  from
subscriptions  are  recognized  monthly  when  access  to  the  service  is  provided  to  the  end  user  and  there  are  no  significant  remaining  obligations,  persuasive
evidence of an arrangement exists, the fees are fixed or determinable, and collection is reasonably assured. Revenues from enriched media analysis services
are recognized when the services are performed and delivered to the client.

We consider U.S. GAAP standard accounting criteria for determining whether to report revenue gross as a principal versus net as an agent.  Factors
considered  include  whether  we  are  the  primary  obligor,  have  risks  and  rewards  of  ownership,  and  bear  the  risk  that  a  client  may  not  pay  for  the  services
performed.  If there are circumstances where the above criteria are not met and therefore we are not the principal in providing services, amounts received from
clients are presented net of payments in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

Revenues include reimbursement of out-of-pocket expenses, with the corresponding out-of-pocket expenses included in direct operating costs.

Direct Operating Costs

Direct  operating  costs  consist  of  direct  payroll,  occupancy  costs,  data  center  hosting  fees,  content  acquisition  costs,  depreciation  and  amortization,
travel, telecommunications, computer services and supplies, realized gain (loss) on forward contracts, foreign currency revaluation gain (loss), 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 including commissions, new services
research  and  related  software  development,  third-party  software,  advertising  and  trade  conferences,  professional  fees  and  consultant  costs,  and  other
administrative overhead costs.

Adjusted EBITDA Performance Metric

In addition to measures of financial performance presented in our consolidated financial statements, we monitor “Adjusted EBITDA” to help us evaluate

our ongoing operating performance including our ability to operate the business effectively.

We  define  Adjusted  EBITDA  as  net  income  (loss)  attributable  to  Innodata  Inc.  and  Subsidiaries  in  accordance  with  GAAP  before  income  taxes,
depreciation,  amortization  of  intangible  assets,  impairment  charges,  changes  in  fair  value  of  contingent  consideration,  stock-based  compensation,  loss
attributable to non-controlling interests and interest income (expense).

We  believe  Adjusted  EBITDA  is  useful  to  our  management  and  investors  in  evaluating  our  operating  performance  and  for  financial  and  operational
decision-making purposes. In particular, it facilitates comparisons of the core operating performance of our Company from period to period on a consistent basis
and  helps  us  to  identify  underlying  trends  in  our  business.  We  believe  it  provides  useful  information  about  our  operating  results,  enhances  the  overall
understanding of our past performance and future prospects and allows for greater transparency with respect to key metrics used by the management in our
financial and operational decision-making. We use this measure to establish operational goals for managing our business and evaluating our performance. 

Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for results reported under GAAP. Some

of these limitations are:

·
·

·

·

Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect tax payments, and such payments reflect a reduction in cash available to us;
Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs and for our cash expenditures or future requirements
for capital expenditures or contractual commitments;
Adjusted EBITDA excludes the potential dilutive impact of stock-based compensation expense related to our workforce, interest income (expense) and
net loss attributable to non-controlling interests, and these items may represent a reduction or increase in cash available to us;
Although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized may have to be replaced in the future, and
Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect cash capital expenditure requirements for such replacements or for new capital expenditure requirements; and

· Other companies, including companies in our own industry, may calculate Adjusted EBITDA differently from our calculation, limiting its usefulness as a

comparative measure.

Adjusted EBITDA should be considered as a supplement to, and not as a substitute for or superior to, GAAP net income.

Year Ended December 31, 2017 Compared to the Year Ended December 31, 2016

Revenues

Total revenues were $60.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2017, a 3% decrease from $63.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2016.

Revenues from the DDS segment were $46.7 million and $50.7 million for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively, a decline of $4
million or approximately 8%. The decline was primarily on account of reduced volume from a key e-book client amounting to $3.3 million and lower volume from
other clients. The decline was partially offset by an increase in revenue for one new client for whom services began in the fourth quarter of 2016.

Revenues from the IADS segment were $4.8 million and $4.3 million for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively, an increase of $0.5

million or approximately 12%. The increase primarily reflects additional volume from Synodex clients.

Revenues from the MIS segment were $9.4 million and $8.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively, an increase of $1.3

million or approximately 16%. The increase is attributable to the acquisition of the Agility business in July 2016.

Two clients in our DDS segment generated approximately 30% and 31% of our total revenues in the fiscal years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016,
respectively.  No  other  client  accounted  for  10%  or  more  of  total  revenues  during  these  periods.  Further,  in  the  years  ended  December  31,  2017  and  2016,
revenues from non-US clients accounted for 51% and 49%, respectively, of our revenues.

Direct Operating Costs

Direct operating costs were approximately $45.8 million and $47.2 million for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively, a decrease of

$1.4 million or approximately 3%.

Direct  operating  costs  for  the  DDS  segment  were  $35.4  million  and  $37.9  million  for  the  years  ended  December  31,  2017  and  2016,  respectively,  a
decrease of $2.5 million or approximately 7%. The decline in direct operating costs is due to a decline in revenues. It also reflects cost rationalization.  Direct
operating costs for the DDS segment as a percentage of DDS segment revenues were 76% for the year ended December 31, 2017 compared to 75% for the
year ended December 31, 2016. The increase primarily reflects a decline in DDS segment direct operating costs relative to the decline in revenues.

Direct operating costs for the IADS segment were approximately $4.3 million and $4.9 million for the respective periods, net of intersegment profits, a
decrease of $0.6 million or 12%. The decline in direct operating costs reflects a lower headcount due to production efficiencies.  Direct operating costs for the
IADS segment as a percentage of IADS segment revenues were 90% and 113% for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

Direct operating costs for the MIS segment were approximately $6.1 million and $4.4 million, net of intersegment profit, for the years ended December
31, 2017 and 2016, respectively, an increase of $1.7 million, or 39%. The increase in direct operating costs was primarily on account of the acquisition of the
Agility  business  in  July  2016. Direct operating costs for the MIS segment as a percentage of MIS segment revenues were 65% and 55% for the years ended
December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

Selling and Administrative Expenses

Selling and administrative expenses were $20.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2017 compared to $19.5 million for the year ended December
31, 2016, an increase of $0.7 million or approximately 4%. Selling and administrative expenses as a percentage of total revenues were 33% and 31% for the
years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

Selling and administrative expenses for the DDS segment were $13.2 million and $13.5 million in these respective periods, a decrease of $0.3 million or
2%.  In  2016,  the  DDS  segment  incurred  $1.5  million  of  legal,  professional  and  other  costs  in  connection  with  an  internal  investigation.  In  2017,  selling  and
administrative expenses included an accrual of $1.4 million primarily in connection with legal proceedings, offset in part by the recovery of approximately $0.2
million of accounts receivable from two clients. Selling and administrative expenses for the DDS segment as a percentage of DDS segment revenues increased
to  28%  for  the  year  ended  December  31,  2017  from  26%  for  the  year  ended  December  31,  2016.  This  increase  primarily  reflects  the  decline  in  selling  and
administrative expenses relative to the decline in revenues.

Selling and administrative expenses for the IADS segment for the respective periods were $1.0 million and $1.2 million, net of intersegment profits, a
decline of $0.2 million or 17%. The decrease in selling and administrative expenses is on account of cost optimization. Selling and administrative expenses for
the IADS segment as a percentage of IADS segment revenues decreased to 21% for the year ended December 31, 2017 compared to 28% for the year ended
December  31,  2016.  The  decrease  in  selling  and  administrative  expenses  as  a  percentage  of  IADS  segment  revenues  was  principally  attributable  to  the
increase in IADS revenues and the decline in selling and administrative expenses.

Selling and administrative costs for the MIS segment were $6.0 million and $4.8 million for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively.
The increase primarily reflects the acquisition of the Agility business in July 2016.  Selling and administrative expenses for the MIS segment as a percentage of
MIS segment revenues increased to 64% for the year ended December 31, 2017 from 60% for the year ended December 31, 2017.

Contingent Consideration

On September 30, 2016, we and the other parties involved in the acquisition of MediaMiser amended the terms on which one of our subsidiaries was
required to make a supplemental purchase price payment for MediaMiser. Prior to the amendment, the amount of the supplemental purchase price payment was
to be determined by the achievement of certain financial thresholds and was in no event to exceed $3.8 million (C$5 million). The amendment fixed the amount
of the supplemental purchase price payment at $1.5 million (C$2 million) payable in two equal installments. The first installment was paid 30% in cash and 70%
in  shares  of  Innodata  Inc.  common  stock  on  March  31,  2017.  The  second  instalment  is  payable  on  March  31,  2018  to  designated  recipients,  except  that  no
payments  will  be  made  to  designated  recipients  who  fail  to  satisfy  specified  conditions.  We  have  the  option  to  pay  up  to  70%  of  the  supplemental  amount  in
shares of Innodata Inc. common stock. We recorded a $1.0 million charge in our statement of operations for the third quarter of 2016 to reflect the amendment.

Taxes

We recorded a provision for income taxes of approximately $0.3 million and $1.1 million for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively.
Taxes  primarily  consist  of  a  provision  for  foreign  taxes  recorded  in  accordance  with  the  local  tax  regulations  by  our  foreign  subsidiaries.  Effective  income  tax
rates are disproportionate due to the losses incurred by our U.S. entity and our Canadian subsidiaries and a valuation allowance recorded on deferred taxes on
these entities. Some of our foreign subsidiaries are subject to tax holidays or preferential tax rates which reduce our overall effective tax rate when compared to
the U.S. statutory tax rate.

In December 2017, the President signed the U.S. Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (2017 Tax Act), which includes a broad range of provisions, many of which
significantly  differ  from  those  contained  in  previous  U.S.  tax  law.  Changes  in  tax  law  are  accounted  for  in  the  period  of  enactment.  As  such,  the  2017
consolidated financial statements reflect the immediate tax effect of the 2017 Tax Act, which was enacted on December 22, 2017 (Enactment Date). The 2017
Tax Act contains several key provisions including, among other things:

•

•

•

•

•

•

A one-time tax on the mandatory deemed repatriation of post-1986 untaxed foreign earnings and profits (E&P), referred to as the toll charge;

A reduction in the maximum Corporate tax rate from 35% to 21% for tax years beginning after December 31, 2017;

The introduction of a new U.S. tax on certain off-shore earnings referred to as Global Intangible Low-Taxed Income (GILTI) at an effective tax rate of 10.5%
for tax years beginning after December 31, 2017 (increasing to 13.125% for tax years beginning after December 31, 2025) with a partial offset by applicable
foreign tax credits; and

The  introduction  of  a  quasi-territorial  tax  system  for  tax  years  beginning  after  December  31,  2017  by  providing  a  dividend  received  deduction  under  the
participation exemption system.

Pursuant to the 2017 Tax Act, we recorded the following adjustments to income tax expense during the fourth quarter of 2017:

A one-time deemed repatriation of E&P amounting to $6.4 million. No toll tax liability was recorded due to the available net operating loss carryforwards This
resulted in a reduction of deferred tax assets and a corresponding reduction in the valuation allowance of $2.2 million; and

A reduction of deferred tax assets and a corresponding reduction of the valuation allowance of $4.8 million, primarily for the remeasurement of our deferred
tax assets at the enacted tax rate of 21%. An income tax benefit of $0.1 million, primarily for the remeasurement of our deferred tax liabilities at the enacted
tax rate of 21%.

We continue to evaluate the GILTI provisions of the 2017 Tax Act and its impact, if any, on the consolidated financial statements as of December 31,

2017.

One of the several provisions of the 2017 Tax Act was a one-time tax on the mandatory deemed repatriation of post-1986 untaxed foreign earnings and
profits (E&P), referred to as the toll charge. A significant portion of our operations are conducted outside the United States. The toll charge amounted to $6.4
million. The charge was offset by the available net operating loss carryforwards. Despite the access to the overseas earnings and the resulting toll charge, we
intend  to  indefinitely  reinvest  the  foreign  earnings  in  our  foreign  subsidiaries  on  account  of  the  withholding  tax  that  we  would  have  to  incur  on  the  actual
remittances. Unremitted earnings of foreign subsidiaries amounted to approximately $24.8 million at December 31, 2017. If such earnings are repatriated in the
future,  or  are  no  longer  deemed  to  be  indefinitely  reinvested,  we  would  have  to  accrue  the  applicable  amount  of  withholding  taxes  associated  with  such
remittances.

In 2017, the U.S. entity deferred $5.2 million in payments due to its Asian operating subsidiaries, which resulted in a deemed dividend that is taxable
income for U.S. tax purposes under Section 956 of the Internal Revenue Code. The taxable income was offset against the net operating loss carryforwards of the
U.S. entity.

We have a valuation allowance on all of our U.S. deferred tax assets on account of continuing losses incurred by our U.S. entity. In addition, we also
have a valuation allowance on deferred tax assets of our Canadian subsidiaries. Our Canadian subsidiaries also have research and development expenditures
available  to  reduce  taxable  income  in  future  years,  which  may  be  carried  forward  indefinitely.  The  potential  benefits  from  these  balances  have  not  been
recognized for financial statement purposes.

Pursuant  to  an  income  tax  audit  by  the  Indian  Bureau  of  Taxation  in  2009,  our  Indian  subsidiary  received  a  tax  assessment  approximating  $356,000
including interest, through December 31, 2017 for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2006. We disagree with the basis of this tax assessment, have filed an appeal
against the assessment and are contesting it vigorously. In January 2012, our Indian subsidiary received a final tax assessment of approximately $1.0 million,
including interest, for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2008, from the Indian Bureau of Taxation. We disagree with the basis of this tax assessment and have
filed an appeal against it. Due to this assessment, we recorded a tax provision amounting to $371,000 including interest through December 31, 2017. In April
2015, we received a favorable judgment whereby the Appeal Officer reduced the tax assessment to $0.3 million. Under the Indian Income Tax Act, however, the
income tax assessing officer has the right to appeal against the judgment passed by the Appeal Officer. In the third quarter of 2015, the income tax assessing
officer exercised this right and filed an appeal. Based on recent experience, we believe that the tax provision of $371,000 including interest is adequate.

In  2015,  our  Indian  subsidiary  was  subject  to  an  inquiry  by  the  Service  Tax  Bureau  in  India  regarding  the  classification  of  services  provided  by  this
subsidiary, asserting that the services provided by this subsidiary fall under the category of online information and database access or retrieval services (OID
Services), and not under the category of business support services (BS Services) that are exempt from service tax as historically indicated in the subsidiary’s
service tax filings. In the event the Service Tax Bureau is successful in proving that the services fall under the category of OID Services the revenues earned by
our Indian subsidiary would be subject to a service tax of approximately 14.5% of the subsidiary’s revenues and this would increase our operating costs by an
equivalent amount. The revenues of our Indian subsidiary for the year ended December 31, 2017 were $15.6 million.  We disagree with the Service Tax Bureau’s
position and are vigorously contesting these assertions.

From  time  to  time  we  are  subject  to  various  other  tax  proceedings  and  claims  for  our  Philippines  subsidiaries.  We  have  recorded  a  tax  provision
amounting  to  $184,000  including  interest  through  December  31,  2017,  for  several  ongoing  tax  proceedings  in  the  Philippines.  Although  the  ultimate  outcome
cannot be determined at this time, we continue to contest these claims vigorously.

Net Loss

We incurred a net loss of $5.1 million during the year ended December 31, 2017 compared to a net loss of $5.5 million during the year ended December

31, 2016.

Net  loss  for  the  DDS  segment  was  $1.7  million  for  the  year  ended  December  31,  2017,  compared  to  a  net  loss  of  $2.6  million  for  the  year  ended
December 31, 2016, net of intersegment profits. The decline in net loss is primarily due to the decline in direct operating costs and selling and administrative
expenses offset in part by the decline in revenues. In 2016, we had a charge to our operations referred to under “Contingent Consideration.”

Net  loss  for  the  IADS  segment  was  $0.6  million  for  the  year  ended  December  31,  2017  compared  to  a  net  loss  of  $1.7  million  for  the  year  ended
December 31, 2016, net of intersegment profits. The decline in net loss is primarily due to the increase in revenues and the decline in direct operating costs and
selling and administrative expenses.

Net loss for the MIS segment was $1.4 million and $1.2 million for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively.  The increased net loss

is mainly due to the increase in direct operating costs and selling and administrative expenses partially offset by an increase in revenues.

Adjusted EBITDA

Adjusted EBITDA for the year ended December 31, 2017 was a loss of $0.7 million compared to income of $0.7 million for the year ended December 31,
2016,  a  decline  of  $1.4  million.  Adjusted  EBITDA  for  the  DDS  segment  was  $1.2  million  and  $2.8  million  for  the  years  ended  December  31,  2017  and  2016,
respectively, a decrease of $1.6 million or approximately 57%. Adjusted EBITDA for the IADS segment was a loss of $0.6 million and a loss of $1.8 million for the
years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. Adjusted EBITDA for the MIS segment was a loss of $1.3 million compared to a loss of $0.3 million for
the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

At December 31, 2017, we had cash and cash equivalents of $11.4 million, of which $5.7 million was held by our foreign subsidiaries, and$5.7 million
was held in the United States. Despite the passage of the new tax law under which the Company may repatriate funds from overseas after paying toll charge, it
is our intent as of December 31, 2017, to permanently reinvest the overseas funds in our foreign subsidiaries on account of the withholding tax that we would
have to incur on the actual remittances.

We have used, and plan to use, our cash and cash equivalents for (i) investments in the MIS Segment; (ii) the expansion of our other operations; (iii)
general  corporate  purposes,  including  working  capital;  and  (iv)  possible  business  acquisitions.  As  of  December  31,  2017,  we  had  working  capital  of
approximately $9.7 million, as compared to working capital of approximately $14.4 million as of December 31, 2016.

We believe that our existing cash and cash equivalents and internally generated funds will provide sufficient sources of liquidity to satisfy our financial
needs for the next 12 months. However, we have no bank facilities or lines of credit, and continuing material reductions in our cash and cash equivalents from
operating losses, capital expenditures, adverse legal decisions, acquisitions or otherwise could materially and adversely affect the Company.

Net Cash Provided by (Used in) Operating Activities

Cash  provided  by  our  operating  activities  for  the  year  ended  December  31,  2017  was  $0.7  million,  resulting  from  a  net  loss  of  $5.4  million  and
adjustments for non-cash items of $4.2 million and uses of working capital of $1.9 million. Adjustments for non-cash items primarily consisted of $3.7 million for
depreciation and amortization, and stock-based compensation expense of $0.7 million.

Cash used in our operating activities for the year ended December 31, 2016 was $2.7 million, resulting from a net loss of $5.9 million and adjustments
for non-cash items of $5.5 million and uses of working capital of $2.3 million. Adjustments for non-cash items primarily consisted of $3.2 million for depreciation
and amortization, a change in fair value of contingent consideration of $1.0 million and stock-based compensation expense of $1.2 million.

At December 31, 2017, our days’ sales outstanding were 61 days as compared to 55 days as of December 31, 2016. We calculate DSO by first dividing
the  total  revenues  for  the  period  by  average  net  accounts  receivable,  which  is  the  sum  of  net  accounts  receivable  at  the  beginning  of  the  period  and  net
accounts receivable at the end of the period, to yield an amount we refer to as the “accounts receivable turnover.” Then we divide the total number of days within
the period reported by the accounts receivable turnover to yield DSO expressed in number of days.

Net Cash Used in Investing Activities

For  the  year  ended  December  31,  2017,  cash  used  in  our  investing  activities  was  $3.4  million.  These  capital  expenditures  were  principally  for  the
purchase  of  technology  equipment  including  servers,  network  infrastructure  and  workstations,  renovations  costs  in  connection  with  the  relocation  of  our  New
Jersey and Canada headquarters, and expenditures for internally developed software. Capital expenditures of $3.4 million consisted of $1.8 million for the DDS
segment and $1.6 million for the MIS segment.

For  the  year  ended  December  31,  2016,  cash  used  in  our  investing  activities  was  $7.0  million.  These  expenditures  consisted  of  $4.2  million  paid  to
acquire Agility in July 2016 and capital expenditures of $2.7 million principally for the purchase of technology equipment including servers, network infrastructure
and workstations. Capital expenditures of $2.7 million consisted of $2.2 million for the DDS segment and $0.5 million for the MIS segment.

For the year 2018, we anticipate that capital expenditures for ongoing technology, equipment and infrastructure upgrades will approximate $1.0 to $2.0

million, a portion of which we may finance.

Net Cash Provided Used in Financing Activities

Payment of long-term obligations approximated $1.1 million and $0.7 million for 2017 and 2016, respectively. Cash from financing activities represents
the net proceeds from a capital lease transaction we entered into during 2017 amounting to $0.8 million. There were no stock option exercises during the years
ended  December  31,  2017  and  2016,  respectively.  During  the  year  ended  December  31,  2016,  we  repurchased  57,000  shares  of  our  common  stock  for
approximately $0.1 million.

Although most of our revenues are denominated in U.S. dollars, a significant portion of our revenues is denominated in Canadian dollars, Pound Sterling
and  Euros.  In  addition,  a  significant  portion  of  our  expenses,  primarily  labor  expenses  in  the  Philippines,  India,  Sri  Lanka,  Germany,  Canada  and  Israel,  is
incurred in the local currencies of the countries in which we operate. For financial reporting purposes, we translate all non-U.S. denominated transactions into
U.S. dollars in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. Thus, we are exposed to the risk that fluctuations in the value of
these currencies relative to the U.S. dollar could have a direct impact on our revenues and 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. Although we selectively undertake hedging activities to mitigate certain of these risks, our hedging
activities may not be effective and may result in losses.

Fluctuations in exchange rates also affect the value of funds held by our foreign subsidiaries. We do not currently intend to hedge these assets.

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 clients.

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.

Our Synodex subsidiary experiences seasonal fluctuations in revenues. Typically, revenue is lowest in the third quarter of the calendar year and highest

in the fourth quarter of the calendar year. The seasonality is directly linked to the number of life insurance applications received by the insurance companies.

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 is 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  disclosure  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, intangible assets, goodwill, valuation of deferred tax assets, value of securities underlying stock-
based  compensation,  litigation  accruals,  pension  benefits,  purchase  price  allocation  of  Agility,  valuation  of  derivative  instruments  and  estimated  accruals  for
various tax exposures. We base our estimates on historical and anticipated results and trends and on various other assumptions that we believe are reasonable
under the circumstances, including assumptions as to future events. These estimates form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets
and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. By their nature, estimates are subject to an inherent degree of uncertainty. Actual results may
differ from our estimates and could have a significant adverse effect on our consolidated results of operations and financial position. We believe the following
critical accounting policies affect our more significant estimates and judgments in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

We  establish  credit  terms  for  new  clients  based  upon  management’s  review  of  their  credit  information  and  project  terms,  and  perform  ongoing  credit
evaluations of our clients, adjusting credit terms when management believes appropriate, based upon payment history and an assessment of the client’s 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. We cannot guarantee that
credit loss rates in the future will not be greater that those experienced in the past. In addition, we would 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 was to deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of their ability to make
payments, additional allowances might be necessary.

Foreign Currency Translation

The functional currency of our production operations located in the Philippines, India, Sri Lanka and Israel is the U.S. dollar. Transactions denominated in
the Philippine pesos, Indian and Sri Lankan rupees or Israeli shekels are translated to U.S. dollars at rates which approximate those in effect on the transaction
dates. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at December 31, 2017 and 2016 are translated at the exchange rate in effect as of those
dates. Nonmonetary assets, liabilities, and stockholders’ equity were translated at the appropriate historical rates. Included in direct operating costs are exchange
losses (gains) resulting from such transactions of approximately $466,000 and $486,000 for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

The  functional  currency  for  our  subsidiaries  in  Germany,  United  Kingdom  and  Canada  are  the  Euro,  the  Pound  Sterling  and  the  Canadian  dollar,
respectively. The financial statements of these subsidiaries are reported in these respective currencies. Financial information is translated from the applicable
functional  currency  to  the  U.S.  dollar  (the  reporting  currency)  for  inclusion  in  our  consolidated  financial  statements.  Income,  expenses  and  cash  flows  are
translated at weighted average exchange rates prevailing during the fiscal period, and assets and liabilities are translated at fiscal period-end exchange rates.
Resulting  translation  adjustments  are  included  as  a  component  of  accumulated  other  comprehensive  income  (loss)  in  stockholders'  equity.  Foreign  exchange
transaction  gains  or  losses  are  included  in  direct  operating  costs  in  the  accompanying  consolidated  statements  of  operations  and  comprehensive  loss.  The
amount of foreign currency translation adjustment was ($687,000) and $1,393,000 for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

Revenue Recognition

For the DDS segment, revenue is recognized based on the quantity delivered or resources utilized and in the period in which services are performed
and  delivery  has  occurred.  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.

For the IADS segment, revenue is recognized primarily based on the quantity delivered and the period in which services are performed and deliverables
are made as per contracts. A portion of our IADS segment revenue is derived from licensing our software and providing access to our hosted software platform.
Revenue from such services are recognized monthly when access to the service is provided to the end user and there are no significant remaining obligations,
persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the fees are fixed or determinable and collection is reasonably assured.

The  MIS  segment  derives  its  revenues  primarily  from  subscription  arrangements  and  provision  of  enriched  media  analysis  services.  Revenue  from
subscriptions  is  recognized  monthly  when  access  to  the  service  is  provided  to  the  end  user  and  there  are  no  significant  remaining  obligations,  persuasive
evidence of an arrangement exists, the fees are fixed or determinable and collection is reasonably assured. Revenue from enriched media analysis services is
recognized when the services are performed and delivered to the client.

Revenues include reimbursement of out-of-pocket expenses, with the corresponding out-of-pocket expenses included in direct operating costs.

Long-lived Assets

future  operating  results;  (ii)  significant  negative 

We assess the recoverability of long-lived assets, which consist primarily of fixed assets, 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 
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,  an  impairment  analysis  is  performed,  initially  using  a  projected  undiscounted  cash
flow  method.    We  make  assumptions  regarding  estimated  future  cash  flows  and  other  factors  to  determine  the  fair  value  of  these  respective  assets.  An
impairment loss will be recognized only if the carrying value of a long-lived asset is not recoverable and exceeds its fair value and is measured as the amount by
which the carrying amount of a long-lived asset exceeds its fair value.

trends;  (iii)  a  significant  decline 

industry  or  economic 

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. Changes in the valuation allowance from period to period are included in our tax
provision in the period of change. As of December 31, 2017, we intend to indefinitely reinvest the foreign earnings in our foreign subsidiaries. However, if we
change our intent and repatriate such earnings, we will have to accrue the applicable amount of withholding taxes associated with such remittances.

In assessing the realization of deferred tax assets, management considered whether it was more likely than not that all or some of the U.S. deferred tax

assets would not be realizable. As of December 31, 2017, we continue to maintain a valuation allowance on all U.S. deferred tax assets.

As  of  December  31,  2017,  our  Canadian  subsidiaries  have  available  net  operating  loss  carryforwards  and  research  and  development  expenditures

available to reduce taxable income of future years. The potential benefits from balances have not been recognized for financial statement purposes.

We account for income taxes regarding uncertain tax positions, and recognize interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions under “Income Tax

Expense” in our consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

Goodwill represents the excess purchase price paid over the fair value of net assets acquired. We test our 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, 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.

In the annual impairment test conducted by us as of September 30, 2017 and 2016, the estimated fair value 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, employees and others who render services to us under the 2013 Stock Plan approved by

the 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  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 $0.7 million and $1.2 million for the years ended December 31,
2017 and 2016, 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 is accumulated and amortized over future periods.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2014, the FASB issued guidance on revenue from contracts with clients. This update is a comprehensive new revenue recognition model that
requires  a  company  to  recognize  revenue  to  depict  the  transfer  of  goods  or  services  to  a  customer  at  an  amount  that  reflects  the  consideration  it  expects  to
receive  in  exchange  for  those  goods  or  services.  It  also  requires  additional  disclosure  about  the  nature,  amount,  timing  and  uncertainty  of  revenue  and  cash
flows arising from customer contracts, including significant judgments and changes in judgments and assets recognized from costs incurred to obtain or fulfill a
contract. This accounting guidance is effective prospectively for annual reporting periods, and interim periods within those periods, beginning after December 15,
2017 and early adoption is permitted starting from the first quarter of 2017. Companies may use either a full retrospective or a modified retrospective approach to
adopt  the  new  standard  when  it  takes  effect.  We  will  adopt  the  new  standard  and  related  updates  effective  January  1,  2018  using  the  modified  retrospective
method of adoption. The new standard further requires new disclosures about contracts with customers, including the significant judgments the company has
made when applying the guidance. We have finalized our analysis and the adoption of this guidance will not have a material impact on our consolidated financial
statements and internal controls over financial reporting.

In February 2016, the FASB issued guidance related to leases. This new guidance requires lessees to recognize on the balance sheet a right-of-use
asset, representing its right to use the underlying asset for the lease term, and a lease liability for all leases with terms greater than 12 months.  The guidance
also requires qualitative and quantitative disclosures designed to assess the amount, timing, and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases.  The standard
requires the use of a modified retrospective transition approach, which includes a number of optional practical expedients that entities may elect to apply.  This
new guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018.  Early application is permitted. We are in the process of evaluating the effect
the guidance will have on our existing accounting policies and consolidated financial statements but expect there will be an increase in assets and liabilities on
the consolidated balance sheets at adoption due to the recording of right-of-use assets and corresponding lease liabilities, which may be material.

In  March  2016,  the  FASB  issued  guidance  relating  to  share-based  compensation.  This  new  guidance  is  intended  to  simplify  several  aspects  of  the
accounting for share-based payment transactions, including the income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, and classification
on the statement of cash flows.  The new guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016.  We adopted this standard in 2017 and
there was no material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In  March  2017,  the  FASB  issued  guidance  on  Compensation  -  Retirement  Benefits  relating  to  improvements  in  the  Presentation  of  Net  Periodic
Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost. Under existing U.S. GAAP, an entity is required to present all components of net periodic pension
cost and net periodic postretirement benefit cost aggregated as a net amount in the income statement, and this net amount may be capitalized as part of an
asset where appropriate. The amendments in the guidance require that an employer report the service cost component in the same line item or items as other
compensation  costs  arising  from  services  rendered  by  the  pertinent  employees  during  the  period,  and  requires  the  other  components  of  net  periodic  pension
cost and net periodic postretirement benefit cost to be presented in the income statement separately from the service cost component and outside a subtotal of
income from operations, if one is presented. Additionally, only the service cost component is eligible for capitalization, when applicable. The amendments in the
guidance  will  be  applied  retrospectively  for  the  presentation  of  the  service  cost  component  and  the  other  components  of  net  periodic  pension  cost  and  net
periodic postretirement benefit cost in the income statement and prospectively, for the capitalization of the service cost component of net periodic pension cost
and net periodic postretirement benefit in assets. The guidance will be effective for the Company for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15,
2017. Early adoption is permitted. We do not anticipate that the adoption of this guidance will have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In  January  2017,  the  FASB  issued  guidance  simplifying  the  accounting  for  goodwill  impairment  by  removing  Step  2  of  the  goodwill  impairment  test.
Under current guidance, Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test requires entities to calculate the implied fair value of goodwill in the same manner as the amount
of goodwill recognized in a business combination by assigning the fair value of a reporting unit to all of the assets and liabilities of the reporting unit. The carrying
value in excess of the implied fair value is recognized as goodwill impairment. Under the new standard, goodwill impairment is recognized based on Step 1 of
the current guidance, which calculates the carrying value in excess of the reporting unit’s fair value. The new standard is effective beginning in January 2020,
with early adoption permitted.

In  August  2017,  the  FASB  amended  the  requirements  of  the  Derivatives  and  Hedging  Topic  of  the  Accounting  Standards  Codification  to  improve  the
financial  reporting  of  hedging  relationships  to  better  portray  the  economic  results  of  an  entity’s  risk  management  activities  in  its  financial  statements.  The
amendments  will  be  effective  for  the  Company  for  interim  and  annual  periods  beginning  after  December  15,  2018.  Early  adoption  is  permitted.  We  do  not
anticipate that the adoption of this guidance will have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Our equipment sales leaseback financing and capital lease transactions carry a fixed interest rate. Thus, as of December 31, 2017 we are not exposed

to any market risk due to interest rate fluctuations.

Foreign currency risk

Although  most  of  our  revenues  are  denominated  in  U.S.  dollars,  a  significant  portion  of  our  revenues  are  denominated  in  Canadian  dollars,  Pound
Sterling and Euros. In addition, a significant portion of our expenses, primarily labor expenses in the Philippines, India, Sri Lanka, Germany, Canada and Israel,
are incurred in the local currencies of the countries in which we operate. For financial reporting purposes, we translate all non-U.S. denominated transactions
into U.S. dollars in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. Thus, we are exposed to the risk that fluctuations in the value
of these currencies relative to the U.S. dollar could have a direct impact on our revenues and our results of operations.

To mitigate the exposure of fluctuating future cash flows due to changes in foreign exchange rates, we entered into foreign currency forward contracts in
2017.  These  foreign  currency  forward  contracts  were  entered  into  with  a  maximum  term  of  twelve  months  and  have  an  aggregate  notional  amount  of
approximately $15.9 million as of December 31, 2017. The total unrealized gain on the outstanding hedges were $0.3 million as of December 31, 2017.

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
$1.4  million  as  of  December  31,  2017.  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 $1.8 million as of December 31, 2017. 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.

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 forward contracts mentioned above, we have not in 2017 engaged in any hedging activities or entered into off-balance-sheet transactions
or  arrangements.  As  of  December  31,  2017,  our  foreign  subsidiaries  held  cash  and  cash  equivalents  totaling  approximately  $5.7  million.  These  assets  are
exposed to foreign exchange risk arising from changes in foreign exchange rates. At present, we do not enter into any hedging instruments to mitigate foreign
exchange risk on such assets; however, we may do so in the future.

See Financial Statement Index, Financial Statements and Supplementary Data commencing on page F-1 herein.

Item 9. Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure.

None.

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  Principal  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  Principal  Financial  Officer,  we
conducted  an  evaluation  of  the  effectiveness  of  our  disclosure  controls  and  procedures,  as  defined  under  Exchange  Act  Rule  13a-15(e).  Based  on  this
evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and our Principal Financial Officer concluded that, as of December 31, 2017, our disclosure controls and procedures were
effective.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There have been no changes in our 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, our 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  our  financial  reporting.  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  (2013)  -  issued  by  the  Committee  of  Sponsoring  Organizations  of  the  Treadway  Commission  (COSO).  Based  on  this  evaluation,
management concluded that the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2017.

This Annual Report on Form 10-K does not include an attestation report of our independent registered public accounting firm regarding internal control
over  financial  reporting.    Management’s  report  was  not  subject  to  attestation  by  our  independent  registered  public  accounting  firm  pursuant  to  rules  of  the
Securities and Exchange Commission that permit us to provide only management’s report in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of Innodata, Inc.

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Innodata, Inc. and Subsidiaries (the Company) as of December 31, 2017 and 2016, and the
related  consolidated  statements  of  operations  and  comprehensive  loss,  stockholders’  equity,  and  cash  flows  for  the  years  then  ended,  and  the  related  notes
(collectively referred to as the consolidated financial statements). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the
financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2017 and 2016, and its results of operations and its cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Basis for Opinion

These  consolidated  financial  statements  are  the  responsibility  of  the  Company’s  management.  Our  responsibility  is  to  express  an  opinion  on  the  Company’s
consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United
States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules
and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We  conducted  our  audits  in  accordance  with  the  standards  of  the  PCAOB.  Those  standards  require  that  we  plan  and  perform  the  audit  to  obtain  reasonable
assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to
have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of
internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial
reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud,
and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures
in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as
well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

/s/ CohnReznick LLP

We have served as the Company’s auditor since 2008.

Description of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

INNODATA INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Description  of  Business  -  Innodata  Inc.  and  Subsidiaries  (the  “Company”)  is  a  global  digital  services  and  solutions  company.  Our  technology  and
services  power  leading  information  products  and  online  retail  destinations  around  the  world.  Our  solutions  help  prestigious  enterprises  harness  the  power  of
digital data to re-imagine how they operate and drive performance. We serve publishers, media and information companies, digital retailers, banks, insurance
companies,  government  agencies  and  many  other  industries.  Founded  in  1988,  we  comprise  a  team  of  4,000  diverse  people  in  eight  countries  who  are
dedicated to delivering services and solutions that help the world embrace digital data as a means of enhancing our lives and transforming our businesses.

The  Company  operates  in  three  reporting  segments:  Digital  Data  Solutions  (DDS),  Innodata  Advanced  Data  Solutions  (IADS)  and  Media  Intelligence

Solutions (MIS).

The Company’s DDS segment provides solutions to digital retailers, information services companies, publishers and enterprises that have one or more of
the following broad business requirements: development of digital content (including e-books); development of new digital information products; and operational
support of existing digital information products and systems.

The  Company’s  IADS  segment  designs  and  develops  new  capabilities  to  enable  clients  in  the  financial  services,  insurance  and  healthcare  sectors  to
improve decision-support through digital technologies. IADS operates through two subsidiaries. Synodex offers a range of services for healthcare and insurance
companies, and docGenix provides services to financial services institutions. As of December 31, 2017, Innodata owned 91% of Synodex and 94% of docGenix,
both limited liability companies.

The Company’s MIS segment operates through our Agility PR Solutions and Bulldog Reporter subsidiaries.

Agility  PR  Solutions  offers  full  and  self-service  solutions,  consisting  of  Agility  Illuminate,  Agility  Connect  and  Agility  Capture,  that  address  the  entire
communications life cycle – from identifying influencers, amplifying messages, monitoring coverage, to measuring impact. Agility PR Solutions, through its Agility
Illuminate  product,  provides  media  monitoring  and  analysis  solutions  and  professional  services  to  several  Fortune  500  companies  and  Canadian  government
institutions, as well as small- and medium-sized businesses. Agility Illuminate enables companies to reduce the time and effort required to extract, analyze and
share valuable business intelligence from traditional and online media sources. Agility Connect is a global media contact database and email distribution platform
and Agility Capture provides additional self-service media monitoring and analytics capabilities. The solution is offered as software-as-a-service (SaaS).

Bulldog  Reporter  is  a  news  aggregation  service  for  public  relations  and  corporate  communications  professionals.  Bulldog  Reporter  publishes  a  well-
known  daily  e-newsletter,  the  Daily  Dog.  Bulldog  Reporter  also  manages  a  PR  industry  awards  program—the  Bulldog  Awards—which  recognizes  PR  and
communications  professionals  in  categories  including  corporate  social  responsibility,  media  relations,  digital  and  social  marketing,  not-for-profit  activity  and
overall outstanding PR performance.

Principles of Consolidation - The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Innodata Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Agility PR
Solutions, a corporation in which the Company owns substantially all of the economic interest, and the Synodex and docGenix limited liability companies that are
majority-owned  by  the  Company.  The  non-controlling  interests  in  the  Synodex  and  docGenix  limited  liability  companies  are  accounted  for  in  accordance  with
Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) non-controlling interest guidance. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in
consolidation.

INNODATA INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Use  of  Estimates - In preparing financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, 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,  intangible  assets,  goodwill,  valuation  of  deferred  tax  assets,
valuation  of  securities  underlying  stock-based  compensation,  litigation  accruals,  pension  benefits,  purchase  price  allocation  of  the  net  assets  acquired  in  the
acquisition of Agility, valuation of derivative instruments and estimated accruals for various tax exposures.

Revenue  Recognition  - For the DDS segment, revenue is recognized based on the quantity delivered or resources utilized and in the period in which
services  are  performed  and  delivery  has  occurred.  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.

For the IADS segment, revenue is recognized primarily based on the quantity delivered and the period in which services are performed and deliverables
are made as per contracts. A portion of our IADS segment revenue is derived from licensing our software and providing access to our hosted software platform.
Revenue from such services are recognized monthly when access to the service is provided to the end user and there are no significant remaining obligations,
persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the fees are fixed or determinable and collection is reasonably assured.

The  MIS  segment  derives  its  revenues  primarily  from  subscription  arrangements  and  provision  of  enriched  media  analysis  services.  Revenue  from
subscriptions  is  recognized  monthly  when  access  to  the  service  is  provided  to  the  end  user  and  there  are  no  significant  remaining  obligations,  persuasive
evidence of an arrangement exists, the fees are fixed or determinable and collection is reasonably assured. Revenue from enriched media analysis services is
recognized when the services are performed and delivered to the client.

Revenues include reimbursement of out-of-pocket expenses, with the corresponding out-of-pocket expenses included in direct operating costs.

Foreign Currency Translation  - The functional currency of our production operations located in the Philippines, India, Sri Lanka and Israel is the U.S.
dollar.  Transactions  denominated  in  the  Philippine  pesos,  Indian  and  Sri  Lankan  rupees  or  Israeli  shekels  are  translated  to  U.S.  dollars  at  rates  which
approximate those in effect on the transaction dates. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at December 31, 2017 and 2016 were
translated at the exchange rate in effect as of those dates. Nonmonetary assets, liabilities, and stockholders’ equity were translated at the appropriate historical
rates.  Included  in  direct  operating  costs  are  exchange  losses  (gains)  resulting  from  such  transactions  of  approximately  $466,000  and  $486,000  for  the  years
ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

The  functional  currency  for  our  subsidiaries  in  Germany,  United  Kingdom  and  Canada  are  the  Euro,  the  Pound  Sterling  and  the  Canadian  dollar,
respectively. The financial statements of these subsidiaries are reported in these respective currencies. Financial information is translated from the applicable
functional  currency  to  the  U.S.  dollar  (the  reporting  currency)  for  inclusion  in  our  consolidated  financial  statements.  Income,  expenses  and  cash  flows  are
translated at weighted average exchange rates prevailing during the fiscal period, and assets and liabilities are translated at fiscal period-end exchange rates.
Resulting  translation  adjustments  are  included  as  a  component  of  accumulated  other  comprehensive  income  (loss)  in  stockholders'  equity.  Foreign  exchange
transaction  gains  or  losses  are  included  in  direct  operating  costs  in  the  accompanying  consolidated  statements  of  operations  and  comprehensive  loss.  The
amount of foreign currency translation adjustment was ($687,000) and $1,393,000 as of December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

INNODATA INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Derivative  Instruments  - The  Company  has  designated  its  derivatives  (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.

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,  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 makes assumptions regarding estimated future cash flows and other factors to determine the
fair value of these respective assets. An impairment loss will be recognized only if the carrying value of a long-lived asset is not recoverable, exceeds its fair
value, and is measured as the amount by which the carrying amount of a long-lived asset exceeds its fair value.

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, 2017 and 2016, the estimated fair value 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 determines 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 determines 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 the valuation allowance from period
to period are included in the Company’s tax provision in the period of change. The Company indefinitely reinvests the foreign earnings in its foreign subsidiaries.
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.

INNODATA INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

In assessing the realization of deferred tax assets, management considered whether it is more likely than not that all or some portion of the U.S. deferred
tax assets will not be realizable. As the expectation of future taxable income resulting from Synodex cannot be predicted with certainty, the Company maintains
a valuation allowance against all the U.S. and Canadian deferred tax assets.

The Company accounts for income taxes regarding uncertain tax positions, and recognizes interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions in

income tax expense in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

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):

Direct operating costs

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, 2017 and 2016, 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 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 clients, adjusting credit terms when management believes appropriate based upon payment history and an
assessment of the client’s 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. This cannot guarantee that credit loss
rates in the future will not be greater that 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.

INNODATA INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Concentration  of  Credit  Risk -  The  Company  maintains  its  cash  with  highly  rated  financial  institutions,  located  in  the  United  States  and  in  foreign
locations where the Company has its operations. At December 31, 2017, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $11.4 million, of which $5.7 million was
held by its foreign subsidiaries with local banks located mainly in Asia and $5.7 million was held 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.

Loss  per  Share  -  Loss  per  share  is  computed  using  the  weighted-average  number  of  common  shares  outstanding  during  the  year.  Diluted  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. For those securities that are not convertible into a class of common stock, the “two class” method of computing loss per share is used.

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 clients 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,  2017  and
2016 is deferred revenue amounting to $1.9 million and $2.0 million, respectively.

Recent  Accounting  Pronouncements -  In  May  2014,  the  FASB  issued  guidance  on  revenue  from  contracts  with  clients.  This  update  is  a
comprehensive new revenue recognition model that requires a company to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to a customer at an
amount  that  reflects  the  consideration  it  expects  to  receive  in  exchange  for  those  goods  or  services.  It  also  requires  additional  disclosure  about  the  nature,
amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer contracts, including significant judgments and changes in judgments and assets
recognized from costs incurred to obtain or fulfill a contract. This accounting guidance is effective prospectively for annual reporting periods, and interim periods
within those periods, beginning after December 15, 2017 and early adoption is permitted starting from the first quarter of 2017. Companies may use either a full
retrospective  or  a  modified  retrospective  approach  to  adopt  the  new  standard  when  it  takes  effect.  The  Company  will  adopt  the  new  standard  and  related
updates effective January 1, 2018 using the modified retrospective method of adoption. The new standard further requires new disclosures about contracts with
customers, including the significant judgments the Company has made when applying the guidance. The Company has finalized its analysis and the adoption of
this guidance will not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements and internal controls over financial reporting.

In February 2016, the FASB issued guidance related to leases. This new guidance requires lessees to recognize on the balance sheet a right-of-use
asset, representing its right to use the underlying asset for the lease term, and a lease liability for all leases with terms greater than 12 months.  The guidance
also requires qualitative and quantitative disclosures designed to assess the amount, timing, and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases.  The standard
requires the use of a modified retrospective transition approach, which includes a number of optional practical expedients that entities may elect to apply.  This
new guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018.  Early application is permitted.  The Company is in the process of evaluating
the effect the guidance will have on its existing accounting policies and consolidated financial statements but expects there will be an increase in assets and
liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets at adoption due to the recording of right-of-use assets and corresponding lease liabilities, which may be material.

INNODATA INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

In  March  2016,  the  FASB  issued  guidance  relating  to  share-based  compensation.  This  new  guidance  is  intended  to  simplify  several  aspects  of  the
accounting for share-based payment transactions, including the income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, and classification
on the statement of cash flows.  The new guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016.  The Company adopted this standard in
2017 and there was no material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In  March  2017,  the  FASB  issued  guidance  on  Compensation  -  Retirement  Benefits  relating  to  improvements  in  the  Presentation  of  Net  Periodic
Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost. Under existing U.S. GAAP, an entity is required to present all components of net periodic pension
cost and net periodic postretirement benefit cost aggregated as a net amount in the income statement, and this net amount may be capitalized as part of an
asset where appropriate. The amendments in the guidance require that an employer report the service cost component in the same line item or items as other
compensation  costs  arising  from  services  rendered  by  the  pertinent  employees  during  the  period,  and  requires  the  other  components  of  net  periodic  pension
cost and net periodic postretirement benefit cost to be presented in the income statement separately from the service cost component and outside a subtotal of
income from operations, if one is presented. Additionally, only the service cost component is eligible for capitalization, when applicable. The amendments in the
guidance  will  be  applied  retrospectively  for  the  presentation  of  the  service  cost  component  and  the  other  components  of  net  periodic  pension  cost  and  net
periodic postretirement benefit cost in the income statement and prospectively, for the capitalization of the service cost component of net periodic pension cost
and net periodic postretirement benefit in assets. The guidance will be effective for the Company for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15,
2017. Early adoption is permitted. The Company does not anticipate that the adoption of this guidance will have a material impact on its consolidated financial
statements.

In  January  2017,  the  FASB  issued  guidance  simplifying  the  accounting  for  goodwill  impairment  by  removing  Step  2  of  the  goodwill  impairment  test.
Under current guidance, Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test requires entities to calculate the implied fair value of goodwill in the same manner as the amount
of goodwill recognized in a business combination by assigning the fair value of a reporting unit to all of the assets and liabilities of the reporting unit. The carrying
value in excess of the implied fair value is recognized as goodwill impairment. Under the new standard, goodwill impairment is recognized based on Step 1 of
the current guidance, which calculates the carrying value in excess of the reporting unit’s fair value. The new standard is effective beginning in January 2020,
with early adoption permitted.

In  August  2017,  the  FASB  amended  the  requirements  of  the  Derivatives  and  Hedging  Topic  of  the  Accounting  Standards  Codification  to  improve  the
financial  reporting  of  hedging  relationships  to  better  portray  the  economic  results  of  an  entity’s  risk  management  activities  in  its  financial  statements.  The
amendments will be effective for the Company for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted. The Company
does not anticipate that the adoption of this guidance will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

Acquisitions

On  July  14,  2016,  Innodata’s  MediaMiser  subsidiary  completed  the  acquisition  of  the  Agility  business  from  PR  Newswire  under  an  asset  purchase

agreement for cash consideration of $4.2 million.

The Agility business that was acquired consists of two products – Agility Connect, a global media contact database and email distribution platform and
Agility  Capture  that  provides  additional  self-service  media  monitoring  and  analytics  capabilities.  The  acquisition  helped  the  Company’s  MIS  segment  foster
growth in North America and Europe by bolstering its media intelligence solutions and media databases, improving its media outreach capabilities, and delivering
stronger, more data-powered media intelligence to clients. With this acquisition, Agility PR Solutions can now offer self and full-service solutions that address the
entire communications life cycle – from identifying influencers, amplifying messages, monitoring coverage, to measuring impact.

The transaction has been accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting. This method requires that assets acquired, and liabilities assumed
in  a  business  combination  be  recognized  at  their  fair  values  as  of  the  acquisition  date.  The  excess  of  the  purchase  price  over  the  net  assets  acquired  was
recorded as goodwill.  

The Company has obtained third party valuations of certain intangible assets. The following table summarizes (in thousands) the final purchase price

allocation for the acquisition:

The estimated fair value of the media contacts database and tradenames and trademarks intangible assets was determined using the “relief from royalty
method” under the income approach, which is a valuation technique that provides an estimate of the fair value of an asset based on the cost savings that are
available through ownership of the asset by the avoidance of paying royalties to license the use of the asset from another owner. The estimated fair value of the
developed technology was determined based on the cost approach, which measures the value by the cost to reconstruct or replace the platform with another of
like utility. Some of the more significant assumptions inherent in the development of these asset valuations include the projected revenue associated with the
asset, the appropriate discount rate to select in order to measure the risk inherent in each future cash flow stream, the assessment of each asset’s life cycle, as
well as other factors. The discount rate used to arrive at the present value of the media contact database and tradenames and trademarks at the acquisition
date, was 13.5%. The remaining useful lives of the media contact database, developed technology, and tradenames and trademarks were based on historical
product  development  cycles,  the  projected  rate  of  technology  migration,  a  market  participant’s  use  of  these  intangible  assets  and  the  pattern  of  projected
economic benefit of these intangible assets.

The amounts assigned to the media contact database, developed technology, tradenames and trademarks are amortized over the estimated useful life

of 10 years.

Taxes

In December 2017, the President signed the U.S. Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (2017 Tax Act), which includes a broad range of provisions, many of which
significantly  differ  from  those  contained  in  previous  U.S.  tax  law.  Changes  in  tax  law  are  accounted  for  in  the  period  of  enactment.  As  such,  the  2017
consolidated financial statements reflect the immediate tax effect of the 2017 Tax Act, which was enacted on December 22, 2017 (Enactment Date). The 2017
Tax Act contains several key provisions including, among other things:

•

•

•

A one-time tax on the mandatory deemed repatriation of post-1986 untaxed foreign earnings and profits (E&P), referred to as the toll charge;

A reduction in the maximum Corporate tax rate from 35% to 21% for tax years beginning after December 31, 2017;

An introduction of a new U.S. tax on certain off-shore earnings referred to as Global Intangible Low-Taxed Income (GILTI) at an effective tax rate of 10.5%
for tax years beginning after December 31, 2017 (increasing to 13.125% for tax years beginning after December 31, 2025) with a partial offset by applicable
foreign tax credits; and

•

A  introduction  of  a  quasi-territorial  tax  system  for  tax  years  beginning  after  December  31,  2017  by  providing  dividends  received  deduction  under  the
participation exemption system.

The  Company  continues  to  evaluate  the  impacts  of  the  2017  Tax  Act.  The  Company  is  evaluating  the  GILTI  provisions  of  the  2017  Tax  Act  and  its
impact, if any, on the consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2017. The FASB allows companies to adopt an accounting policy to either recognize
deferred taxes for GILTI or treat such as a tax cost in the year incurred. The Company has not yet determined the accounting policy and as such did not record a
deferred income tax expense or benefit related to the GILTI provisions in the consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2017 and
will finalize this during the measurement period. 

Pursuant to the 2017 Tax Act, the Company recorded the following adjustments to income tax expense during the fourth quarter of 2017:

•

•

A  one-time  deemed  repatriation  of  E&P  amounting  to  $6.4  million.  No  toll  tax  liability  was  recorded  due  to  the  available  net  operating  loss  carryforwards.
This resulted in a reduction of deferred tax assets and a corresponding reduction in the valuation allowance of $2.2 million; and

A reduction of deferred tax assets and a corresponding reduction of the valuation allowance of $4.8 million, primarily for the remeasurement of our deferred
tax assets at the enacted tax rate of 21%. An income tax benefit of $0.1 million, primarily for the remeasurement of our deferred tax liabilities at the enacted
tax rate of 21%.

Due to the complexities involved in accounting for the enactment of the 2017 Tax Act, SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin 118 (SAB 118) allows companies to
record provisional estimates of the impacts of the 2017 Tax Act during a measurement period which is similar to the measurement period of up to one year from
the enactment which is similar to the measurement period used when accounting for business combinations. The Company will continue to assess the impact of
the recently enacted tax law on its consolidated financial statements.

The  significant  components  of  the  provision  for  income  taxes  for  each  of  the  two  years  in  the  period  ended  December  31,  2017  are  as  follows  (in

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. As of December 31, 2017, the Company continues to maintain a valuation
allowance on all U.S. and Canadian deferred tax assets.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

A significant portion of the Company’s operations are conducted outside the United States. As a result of the 2017 Tax Act, the toll charge amounted to
$6.4 million. The charge was offset by the available net operating loss carryforwards. Despite the access to the overseas earnings and the resulting toll charge,
the Company intends to indefinitely reinvest the foreign earnings in its foreign subsidiaries on account of the withholding tax that the Company would have to
incur on the actual remittances. Unremitted earnings of foreign subsidiaries amounted to approximately $24.8 million at December 31, 2017. If such earnings are
repatriated in the future, or are no longer deemed to be indefinitely reinvested, the Company would have to accrue the applicable amount of withholding taxes
associated with such remittances.

The 2017 Tax Act imposes a mandatory transition tax on accumulated foreign earnings and eliminates U.S. taxes on foreign subsidiary distribution. Due
to the one-time transition tax on the deemed repatriation of post-1986 undistributed foreign subsidiary earnings and profits, all previously unremitted earnings for
which  no  U.S.  deferred  tax  liability  had  been  accrued  have  now  been  subjected  to  U.S.  federal  income  tax.  As  a  result,  earnings  in  foreign  jurisdictions  are
available for distribution to the U.S. without incremental U.S. taxes. To the extent the Company repatriates these earnings to the United States, it estimates that it
will not incur significant additional taxes related to such amounts, however the estimates are provisional and subject to further analysis.

In  2017  the  U.S.  entity  deferred  $5.2  million  in  payments  due  to  its  Asian  operating  subsidiaries,  which  resulted  in  a  deemed  dividend  that  is  taxable
income for U.S. tax purposes under Section 956 of the Internal Revenue Code. The taxable income was offset against the net operating loss carryforwards of the
U.S. entity.

Certain of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries are subject to preferential tax rates. In addition, one of the foreign subsidiaries enjoys a tax holiday. Due to
the tax holiday and the preferential tax rates, the income tax rate for the Company was substantially reduced, the tax benefit from which was approximately $0.2
million for both 2017 and 2016.

The  Company’s  Canadian  subsidiaries  claims  deductions  of  eligible  research  and  development  expenses  within  the  Scientific  Research  and
Experimental Development (SR&ED) Program, a federal tax incentive program, administered by the Canada Revenue Agency. Amounts recorded for the federal
and provincial research and development tax credits aggregated $0.1 million and $0.2 million for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively.
Such amounts have been recorded as a reduction in selling and administrative expenses.

At December 31, 2017, the Company has available U.S. federal and New Jersey state net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $15.5 million
and  $16.9  million,  respectively.  These  net  operating  loss  carryforwards  expire  at  various  times  through  the  year  2035.  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”). The Company adopted the provisions of ASU
2016-9 whereby these benefits were reflected in the net operating losses and resulting deferred tax assets in 2016. Windfalls included in net operating losses
were approximately $5.2 million.

At December 31, 2017, the Company’s Canadian subsidiaries have available net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $8.2 million in Canada
which begin to expire in 2028. In addition, these subsidiaries also have research and development expenditures of approximately $1.8 million available to reduce
taxable  income  in  future  years  which  may  be  carried  forward  indefinitely.  The  potential  benefits  from  these  balances  have  not  been  recognized  for  financial
statement purposes.

The  Company  had  unrecognized  tax  benefits  of  $0.9  million  and  $1.2  million  as  of  December  31,  2017  and  2016.  The  portion  of  unrecognized  tax
benefits relating to interest and penalties was $0.4 million and $0.5 million as of December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. The unrecognized tax benefits as of
December 31, 2017 and 2016, if recognized, would have an impact on the Company’s effective tax rate.

The Company is subject to Federal income tax, as well as income tax in various states and foreign jurisdictions. The Company is no longer subject to
examination by Federal tax authorities for years prior to 2006 and by New Jersey tax authorities for years prior to 2012. Various foreign subsidiaries currently
have open tax years from 2003 through 2017.

Pursuant to an income tax audit by the Indian Bureau of Taxation in 2009, the Company’s Indian subsidiary received a tax assessment approximating
$356,000  including  interest,  through  December  31,  2017  for  the  fiscal  year  ended  March  31,  2006.  Management  disagrees  with  the  basis  of  this  tax
assessment, has filed an appeal against the assessment and is contesting it vigorously. In January 2012, the Indian subsidiary received a final tax assessment
of approximately $1.0 million, including interest, for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2008, from the Indian Bureau of Taxation. Management disagrees with the
basis of this tax assessment and has filed an appeal against it. Due to this assessment, the Company recorded a tax provision amounting to $371,000 including
interest  through  December  31,  2017.  In  April  2015,  the  Company  received  a  favorable  judgment  whereby  the  Appeal  Officer  reduced  the  tax  assessment  to
$0.3 million. Under the Indian Income Tax Act, however, the income tax assessing officer has the right to appeal against the judgment passed by the Appeal
Officer. In the third quarter of 2015, the income tax assessing officer exercised this right and filed an appeal. Based on recent experience, management believes
that the tax provision of $371,000 including interest is adequate.

In 2015, the Company’s Indian subsidiary was subject to an inquiry by the Service Tax Bureau in India regarding the classification of services provided
by this subsidiary, asserting that the services provided by this subsidiary fall under the category of online information and database access or retrieval services
(OID  Services),  and  not  under  the  category  of  business  support  services  (BS  Services)  that  are  exempt  from  service  tax  as  historically  indicated  in  the
subsidiary’s  service  tax  filings.  In  the  event  the  Service  Tax  Bureau  is  successful  in  proving  that  the  services  fall  under  the  category  of  OID  Services  the
revenues  earned  by  the  Company’s  Indian  subsidiary  would  be  subject  to  a  service  tax  of  approximately  14.5%  of  the  subsidiary’s  revenues  and  this  would
increase  the  operating  costs  of  the  Company  by  an  equivalent  amount.  The revenues  of  the  Company’s  Indian  subsidiary  for  the  year  ended  December  31,
2017 were $15.6 million. The Company disagrees with the Service Tax Bureau’s position and is vigorously contesting these assertions.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The  Company  established  a  valuation  allowance  of  approximately  $6.5  million  and  $10.6  million  at  December  31,  2017  and  2016,  respectively.  The
valuation  allowance  relates  to  U.S.  deferred  tax  assets  and  the  Company’s  Canadian  subsidiaries.  The  net  change  in  the  total  valuation  allowance  was  a
decrease of $4.1 million for the years ended December 31, 2017 compared to an increase of $0.7 million in December 31, 2016. The decrease in the valuation
allowance in 2017 is primarily the result of the 2017 Tax Act. The adoption of the provisions of ASU 2016-9 resulted in a $1.8 million increase in the valuation
allowance in 2016.

The Company from time to time is also subject to various other tax proceedings and claims for its Philippines subsidiaries. The Company has recorded a
tax provision amounting to $184,000 including interest through December 31, 2017, for several ongoing tax proceedings in the Philippines. Although the ultimate
outcome cannot be determined at this time, the Company continues to contest these claims vigorously.

(3) On September 30, 2016 the Company and the other parties to the transaction in which the Company acquired MediaMiser amended the terms on
which  a  subsidiary  of  the  Company  is  required  to  make  a  supplemental  purchase  price  payment  for  MediaMiser.  Prior  to  the  amendment,  the  amount  of  the
supplemental purchase price payment was to be determined by the achievement of certain financial thresholds and was in no event to exceed $3.8 million (C$5
million). The amendment fixed the amount of the supplemental purchase price payment at $1.5 million (C$2 million) payable in two equal installments on March
31, 2017 and 2018 to designated recipients, except that no payments will be made to designated recipients who fail to satisfy specified conditions. The Company
has the option to pay up to 70% of the supplemental amount in shares of Innodata Inc. stock. In March 2017, the Company paid 70% of the first installment by
issuing 253,622 shares of Innodata Inc.’s common stock and paid 30% of the first installment in cash in April 2017.

(4) In the second quarter of 2017, the Company moved both its U.S. and Canadian headquarters to new premises. As an incentive for the Company to
lease in their respective office spaces, the lessors for each of the properties offered to partially defray the construction cost by offering a tenant improvement
allowance. Under the terms of the lease contracts the Company is liable to refund any unamortized portion of this allowance should it decide to terminate the
lease  before  the  expiry  of  the  specified  lock-in  period.  This  amount  will  be  amortized  based  on  the  contractual  liability  and  recognized  as  a  reduction  in  rent
expense for the period covered.

Commitments and contingencies

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 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 subject to a notice period, and generally subject to forfeiture of the security deposit. Rent expense, principally for office and production space
totaled approximately $2.7 million for each of the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016.

Future minimum lease payments under non-cancelable leases, by year and in the aggregate, as of December 31, 2017 (in thousands) are as follows:

Litigation  – In  2008,  a  judgment  was  rendered  in  the  Philippines  against  a  Philippines  subsidiary  of  the  Company  that  is  no  longer  active  and
purportedly  also  against  Innodata  Inc.,  in  favor  of  certain  former  employees  of  the  Philippines  subsidiary.  The  payment  amount  as  recalculated  in  November
2017 by the Philippines Department of Labor and Employment National Labor Relations Commission aggregates approximately $6.2 million, plus legal interest
that accrued at 12% per annum from August 13, 2008 to June 30, 2013, and thereafter accrued and continues to accrue at 6% per annum. The payment amount
as expressed in U.S. dollars varies with the Philippine peso to U.S. dollar exchange rate. In December 2017 a group of 97 of the former employees indicated that
they proposed to record the judgment as to them in New Jersey. In January 2018, in response to an action initiated by Innodata Inc., the United States District
Court for the District of New Jersey entered a preliminary injunction that enjoins these former employees from pursuing or seeking recognition or enforcement of
the judgment against Innodata Inc. in the United States during the pendency of the action and until further order of the Court.

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

INNODATA INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

While  management  currently  believes  that  the  ultimate  outcome  of  these  proceedings  will  not  have  a  material  adverse  effect  on  the  Company’s
consolidated financial position or overall trends in consolidated results of operations, litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties. Substantial recovery against
the Company in the above-referenced Philippines action 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 consolidated 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  consolidated  financial  position  or  overall  consolidated  results  of  operations  for  the  above
referenced legal proceedings could change in the future.

The Company’s legal reserves related to legal proceedings and claims are based on a determination of whether or not a loss is probable. The Company
reviews outstanding proceedings and claims with external counsel to assess probability and estimates of loss. The reserves are adjusted if necessary. While the
Company intends to defend these matters vigorously, adverse outcomes that it estimates could reach approximately $100,000 in the aggregate beyond recorded
amounts  are  reasonably  possible.  If  circumstances  change,  the  Company  may  be  required  to  record  adjustments  that  could  be  material  to  its  reported
consolidated financial condition and results of operations.

Foreign  Currency  -  To  the  extent  that  the  currencies  of  the  Company’s  production  facilities  located  in  the  Philippines,  India,  Sri  Lanka  and  Israel
fluctuate,  the  Company  is  subject  to  risks  of  changing  costs  of  production  after  pricing  is  established  for  certain  client  projects.  In  addition,  the  Company  is
exposed to the risk on foreign currency fluctuation on the non-U.S. dollar denominated revenues, and on the monetary assets and liabilities held by its foreign
subsidiaries that are denominated in local currency.

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,  2017,  the  Company  has  not  recorded  a  liability  for  any  obligations  arising  as  a  result  of  these
indemnifications.

8.

Pension benefits

U.S. Defined Contribution Pension Plan -  The Company has a defined contribution plan qualified under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code,
pursuant to which substantially all of its U.S. employees are eligible to participate after completing six months of service. Participants may elect to contribute a
portion of their compensation to the plan. Under the plan, the Company has the discretion to match a portion of participants’ contributions. The Company intends
to match approximately $0.1 million to the plan for the year ended December 31, 2017. For the year ended December 31, 2017, the Company did not make any
matching contributions.

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 loss 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, 2017, these plans are unfunded. Pension expense for foreign subsidiaries totaled approximately $0.2
million and $0.3 for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Stockholders  Rights  Agreement  - On  January  14,  2016,  the  Board  of  Directors  declared  a  dividend  of  one  preferred  share  purchase  right  (each,  a
“Right,” and collectively, the “Rights”) for each outstanding share of the Company’s common stock on February 1, 2016. The description and terms of the Rights
are set forth in a Rights Agreement between the Company and American Stock Transfer & Trust Co., as rights agent, dated as of January 14, 2016 (the “Rights
Agreement”).  Each  Right  entitles  its  holder  to  purchase,  under  certain  conditions,  one  one-thousandth  of  a  share  of  Series  C  Participating  Preferred  Stock
(“Preferred Stock”). Each one one-thousandth of a share of Preferred Stock has substantially the same rights as one share of the Company’s common stock.
Subject to the terms and conditions of the Rights Agreement, Rights become exercisable ten days after the public announcement that a “Person” has become an
“Acquiring  Person”  (as  each  such  term  is  defined  in  the  Rights  Agreement)  by  obtaining  beneficial  ownership  of  20%  or  more  of  the  Company’s  outstanding
common stock, or, if earlier, ten business days (or a later date determined by the Board of Directors before any Person becomes an Acquiring Person) after a
Person  begins  a  tender  or  exchange  offer  which,  if  completed,  would  result  in  that  Person  becoming  an  Acquiring  Person.  Any  Rights  held  by  an  Acquiring
Person are void and may not be exercised.

If a Person becomes an Acquiring Person, all holders of Rights, except the Acquiring Person, may purchase at the Right’s then-current exercise price,
the  Company’s  common  stock  having  a  market  value  equal  to  twice  the  exercise  price.  Moreover,  at  any  time  after  a  Person  becomes  an  Acquiring  Person
(unless such Person acquires 50 percent or more of the common stock of the Company then outstanding, as more fully described in the Rights Agreement), the
Board of Directors may exchange one share of the Company’s common stock for each outstanding Right (other than rights owned by such Person, which would
have become void). In addition, if the Company is acquired in a merger or other business combination transaction after a Person becomes an Acquiring Person,
all holders of Rights, except the Acquiring Person, may purchase at the Right’s then-current exercise price, a number of the acquiring Company’s common stock
having  a  market  value  of  twice  the  exercise  price.  If  the  Company  receives  a  “qualifying  offer”  (which  includes  certain  all-cash  fully  financed  tender  offers  or
exchange offers for all of the Company’s outstanding common stock), under certain circumstances, holders of 10 percent of the Company’s outstanding common
stock (excluding stock held by the offeror and its affiliates and associates) may direct the Board of Directors to call a special meeting of stockholders to consider
a resolution exempting such “qualifying offer” from the Rights Agreement. The Rights themselves have no voting power. The Board of Directors may redeem the
Rights at an initial redemption price of $0.001 per Right under certain circumstances set forth in the Rights Agreement.

The Rights Agreement was approved by the Company’s stockholders at the 2016 annual meeting. The Rights will expire on January 13, 2019 unless

earlier redeemed or exchanged.

Common  Stock  Reserved  - As  of  December  31,  2017,  the  Company  had  reserved  for  issuance  approximately  6,143,000  shares  of  common  stock

pursuant to the Company’s stock option plans.

Treasury Stock - In September 2011, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $2.0 million of its common stock in open
market or private transactions. There is no expiration date associated with the program. There were no share repurchases in 2017. As of December 31, 2017,
the Company repurchased 137,000 shares of its common stock under the September 2011 authorization.

Stock Options

On  June  7,  2016  stockholders  of  the  Company  approved  amendments  to  the  Innodata  Inc.  2013  Stock  Plan.  The  Innodata  Inc.  2013  Stock  Plan  as
amended and restated effective June 7, 2016 is referred to herein as the “Plan.” The number of shares of common stock of Innodata Inc. (“Stock”) that may be
delivered, purchased or used for reference purposes (with respect to stock appreciation rights or stock units) for awards granted under the Plan after June 7,
2016 is 5,858,892 (the “Share Reserve”). Shares subject to an option or stock appreciation right granted under the Plan after June 7, 2016 shall count against
the Share Reserve as one share for every share granted, and shares subject to any other type of award granted under the Plan after June 7, 2016 shall count
against the Share Reserve as two shares for every share granted. Any award, or portion of an award, under the Plan or under the 2009 Stock Plan (as amended
and restated (the “Prior Plan”)) that expires or terminates unexercised, becomes unexercisable or is forfeited or otherwise terminated, surrendered or canceled
as to any shares without delivery of shares or other consideration shall be added back to the Share Reserve as one share for each such share that was subject
to an option or stock appreciation right granted under the Plan or the Prior Plan, and two shares for each such share that was subject to an award other than an
option or stock appreciation right granted under the Plan or the Prior Plan. If any shares are withheld, tendered or exchanged by a participant in the Plan as full
or  partial  payment  to  Innodata  of  the  exercise  price  under  an  option  under  the  Plan  or  the  Prior  Plan  or  in  satisfaction  of  a  participant’s  tax  withholding
obligations with respect to any award under the Plan or the Prior Plan, there shall be added back to the Share Reserve one share for each such share that was
withheld, tendered or exchanged in respect of an option or stock appreciation right granted under the Plan or the Prior Plan, and two shares for each such share
that was withheld, tendered or exchanged in respect of an award other than an option or stock appreciation right granted under the Plan or the Prior Plan.

Basic  loss  per  share  is  computed  using  the  weighted-average  number  of  common  shares  outstanding  during  the  year.  Diluted  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. For those securities that are not convertible into a class of common stock, the two-class method of computing income (loss) per share is used.

Options  to  purchase  4.2  million  and  5.2  million  shares  of  common  stock  in  2017  and  2016,  respectively,  were  outstanding  but  not  included  in  the
computation of diluted 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.

14.

Derivatives

The  Company  conducts  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 to generate that revenue are
incurred in another currency. The Company’s primary exchange rate exposure relates to payroll, other payroll costs and operating expenses in the Philippines,
India, Sri Lanka and Israel.

In  addition,  although  most  of  the  Company’s  revenues  are  denominated  in  U.S.  dollars,  a  significant  portion  of  the  total  revenues  is  denominated  in

Canadian dollars, Pound Sterling and Euros.

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 classified based on the instrument’s maturity date. The total notional amount for outstanding derivatives as of December 31, 2017 and 2016 was $15.9
million and $19.3 million, respectively, which is comprised of cash flow hedges denominated in U.S. dollars.

The carrying amounts of financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximated their fair

value as of December 31, 2017 and 2016, because of the relative short maturity of these instruments.

“Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures ” defines 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.

The following table sets forth the assets and liabilities as of December 31, 2017 and 2016 that the Company measured at fair value, on a recurring basis
by level, within the fair value hierarchy (in thousands). As required by the standard, assets and liabilities measured at fair value are classified in their entirety
based on the lowest level of input that is significant to their fair value measurement.
