six
months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005. The results of operations for
the
three and six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005 are not necessarily
indicative of results that may be expected for any other interim
period or
for the full year.
These
financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial
statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2005
included

Basic
income (loss) per share is computed by dividing income (loss) available
to
common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares
outstanding during the period. Diluted income (loss) per share is
computed
by dividing income (loss) available to common shareholders by the
weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period
increased to include the number of additional common shares that
would
have been outstanding if the dilutive potential common shares had
been
issued. The dilutive effect of the outstanding options is reflected
in
diluted income (loss) per share by application of the treasury stock
method. Options to purchase 3.0 million shares of common stock in
2006 and
2.5 million shares of common stock in 2005 were outstanding but not
included in the computation of diluted income 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.
In
addition, diluted net loss per share does not include 795,000
and 1,700,000 potential common shares for the three months ended
June 30,
2006 and 2005, respectively, and 905,000
and 2,103,000 potential common shares derived from stock options
for the
six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively, because
as a result of the Company incurring losses, their effect would have
been
antidilutive.

Effective
January 1, 2006, the Company adopted the provisions of Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 123(R) (“SFAS 123(R)”),
“Share-Based Payments,” which requires the measurement and recognition of
compensation expense for all share-based payment awards to employees
and
directors based on estimated fair values. SFAS 123(R) supersedes
the
Company’s previous accounting methodology using the intrinsic value method
under Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25 (“APB 25”),
“Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees.” Under the intrinsic value
method, no share-based compensation expense had been recognized at
the
time stock option awards were granted because the awards had an exercise
price equal to or greater than the market value of the Company’s stock on
the date of the grant. However, at times, compensation expense had
been
recognized upon
the modifications of stock option grants.
The
Company adopted SFAS 123(R) using the modified prospective transition
method. Under this transition method, compensation expense recognized
during the six months ended June 30, 2006 included compensation
expense
for all share-based awards granted prior to, but not yet vested,
as of
December 31, 2005, based on the grant date fair value estimated in
accordance with the original provisions of SFAS 123. There were
no share
based payment awards granted during the three and six months ended
June
30, 2006. In accordance with the modified prospective transition
method,
the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements for prior periods have not
been restated to reflect the impact of SFAS 123(R). The Company
recognized compensation expense of approximately $58,000 and $117,000
in
the three and six months ended June 30, 2006, respectively. There
was no
material impact as a result of adopting SFAS 123(R) on basic and
diluted
loss per share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006.
Because
of the Company’s net operating loss carryforwards, no tax benefits
resulting from the exercise of stock options have been recorded,
thus
there was no effect on cash flows from operating or financing activities.
For
the three and six months ended June 30, 2006, share-based compensation
expense related to the company’s various stock option plans was allocated
as follows (in thousands):

The
Company’s operations are classified into two reporting segments: (1)
outsourced content services and (2) IT professional services. The
outsourced content services segment focuses on fabrication services
and
knowledge services. Fabrication services include digitization and
data
conversion services, content creation and XML services. Knowledge
services
include content enhancement, hyperlinking, indexing and general editorial
services. The IT professional services segment focuses on the design,
implementation, integration and deployment of systems used to author,
manage and distribute content. The Company’s outsourced content services
revenues are generated principally from its production facilities
located
in the Philippines, India and Sri Lanka. The Company does not depend
on
revenues from sources internal to the countries in which the Company
operates; nevertheless, the Company is subject to certain adverse
economic
and political risks relating to overseas economies in general, such
as
inflation, currency fluctuations and regulatory
burdens.

In
April 2006, the Company’s subsidiary in Sri Lanka entered into a new
facility lease agreement, to replace its existing lease agreement,
which
expires September 2006. The new lease has an initial term of six
years
commencing October 1, 2006, with an option to renew for an additional
six
year term. In addition, the Company can terminate the lease at anytime
after the first three years of the lease term, upon giving four months’
advance notice.
Pursuant to lease terms, advance
rent paid
by the Company, totaling approximately $130,000 will be amortized
over the
six year term of the lease. Rental payments, which approximate $10,800
per
month during the first year, are subject to increase at a rate of
five
percent per annum.
|
8. |
In
the three and six months ended June 30, 2006, the provision for income
taxes is principally comprised of foreign income taxes attributable
to
certain overseas subsidiaries which generated taxable income, and
to a
$90,000 provision for foreign tax assessments. In addition, the Company
did not recognize a tax benefit on U.S. net operating losses generated
during the period. In the three months ended June 30, 2005, the
benefit from income taxes as a percentage of loss before income taxes
was
24% which is lower than the U.S. Federal statutory tax rate, principally
due to losses attributable to certain overseas subsidiaries not subject
to
income taxes.
|
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 realized.
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 utilized.
Based on
a consideration of these factors, the Company has established a valuation
allowance of approximately $4.2 million and $1.1 million at
June 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005,
respectively.
|
9. |
Included
in selling and administrative expenses are research and development
costs
approximating $267,000 and $552,000 for the three and six months
ended
June 30, 2006 as compared with approximately $200,000 for both the
three
and six months ended June 30, 2005.
In addition, for the six months
ended June
30, 2006, selling and administrative expenses were reduced by $246,000
received from a lessor as compensation for vacating leased premises
prior
to the expiry of the stipulated lease
term.

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.
Non-U.S.
Pension benefits - Most
of the Company’s 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
net periodic pension cost for the non U.S. defined pension plans, for
the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 (in thousands), consists
of
the following:

The
Company has a $5 million line of credit pursuant to which it may
borrow up
to 80% of eligible accounts receivable at the bank’s alternate base rate
plus ½% or LIBOR plus 3%. The line, which expires in May 2007, is secured
by the company’s accounts receivable. The Company has not borrowed against
its credit line in 2006.

In
connection with the cessation of all operations at certain foreign
subsidiaries, certain former employees have filed various actions
against
one of the Company’s Philippine subsidiaries, and have purported to also
sue the Company and certain of its officers and directors, seeking
to
require reinstatement of employment and to recover back wages for
an
allegedly illegal facility closing on June 7, 2002 based on the terms
of a
collective bargaining agreement with this subsidiary. If the complainants’
claims have merit, they could be entitled to back wages of up to
$5.0
million for the period from June 7, 2002 to June 6, 2005, consistent
with
prevailing jurisprudence. Based upon consultation with legal counsel,
management believes the claims are without merit and is defending
against
them vigorously.
Pursuant
to an income tax audit by the Indian bureau of taxation, on March
27, 2006
one of the Company’s Indian subsidiaries has received a tax assessment
approximating $350,000, including interest, for the fiscal tax
year ended
March 31, 2003. Management disagrees with the basis of the tax
assessment,
and has filed an appeal against the assessment, which it will fight
vigorously. The Indian bureau of taxation has also commenced an
audit of
the Company’s Indian subsidiary’s income tax return for the fiscal tax
year ended March 31, 2004. The ultimate outcome cannot be determined
at
this time.
In
addition, the
Company’s U.S. federal income tax return for 2004 is currently undergoing
audit by the I.R.S; furthermore, the State of New Jersey will audit its
income and sales tax returns for various periods through 2006.
The Company
has no basis at this time for determining the amount of any potential
tax
adjustments that might result from such audits.
Further,
the Company is subject to various legal proceedings, tax audits
and claims
which arise in the ordinary course of business.
While
management currently believes that the ultimate outcome of all
these
proceedings will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s
financial position or overall trends in results of operations,
litigation
is subject to inherent uncertainties. Were an unfavorable ruling
to occur,
there exists the possibility of a material adverse impact on the
operating
results of the period in which the ruling occurs. In addition,
the
estimate of potential impact on the Company’s financial position or
overall results of operations for the above legal proceedings could
change
in the future.

The
Company's production facilities are located in the Philippines, India
and
Sri Lanka. To the extent that the currencies of these countries fluctuate,
the Company is subject to risks of changing costs of production after
pricing is established for certain customer projects. However, most
significant contracts contain provisions for price
renegotiation.
|

On
April 26, 2006, the Company entered into a three year employment
agreement
with its Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”). The agreement, which has an
effective date of February 1, 2006, provides for: annual base compensation
of $369,000 subject to cost of living adjustments and annual discretionary
increases as determined by the Company's Board of Directors; additional
cash incentive or bonus compensation for each calendar year determined
by
the compensation committee of the Board of Directors in its discretion
and
conditioned on the attainment of certain quantitative objectives
to be
established by the compensation committee with a target bonus of
not less
than 50% of base salary for the year; and equity-based incentive
compensation in such amounts as shall be determined by the compensation
committee, which, if granted, shall have an exercise price equal
to the
fair market value of the shares at the time of the grant. The agreement
also provides for insurance and other fringe benefits, and contains
confidentiality and non-compete and non-interference provisions.
In the
event the CEO is terminated without cause (as defined) or, if upon
expiration of the term of the agreement the Company does not offer
to
enter into a successor agreement on substantially similar terms,
the CEO
is entitled to receive payments in an amount equal to the greater
of (i)
his then base salary for 24 months or (ii) the number of months remaining
in the term of the agreement; the continuation of his health, life,
disability and non-qualified retirement plan benefits for the greater
of
(i) 24 months or (ii) the number of months remaining in the term
of the
agreement; twice the CEO’s then bonus target; and the removal of any
vesting, transfer, lock up, performance or other restrictions or
requirements on his stock options or other equity-based compensation.
In
the event the CEO resigns after the 6-month anniversary of a change
of
control (as defined), the CEO is entitled to receive severance payments
in
an amount equal to the greater of (i) his then base salary for 36
months
or (ii) the number of months remaining in the term of the agreement;
the
continuation of his health, life, disability and non-qualified retirement
plan benefits for the greater of (i) 36 months or (ii) the number
of
months remaining in the term of the agreement; three times his then
bonus
target; and the removal of any vesting, transfer, lock up, performance
or
other restrictions or requirements on his stock options or other
equity-based compensation. The agreement also provides for potential
tax
gross-up payments in respect of income taxes and penalties that may
be
imposed on the CEO under Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code,
and in
respect of excise taxes and penalties that may be imposed on the
CEO under
Section 4999 of the Internal Revenue
Code.
|
15. |
An
executive vice president of the Company was provided a separation
agreement in connection with the termination of his employment with
the
Company effective as of May 26, 2006. Pursuant to the separation
agreement, the Company will continue to pay his base salary for a
period
of twelve months, as provided for in his employment agreement. Included
in
selling and administrative expenses for the three and six months
ended
June 30, 2006 is accrued severance costs of approximately
$275,000.
|
16. |
The
Company is obligated under certain circumstances to indemnify directors
and certain officers against costs and liabilities incurred in actions
or
threatened actions brought against such individual because such individual
acted in the capacity of director and/or officer of the Company.
In
addition, the Company has contracts with certain clients pursuant
to which
the Company has agreed to indemnify the client for certain specified
and
limited claims. These indemnification obligations are in the ordinary
course of business and, in many cases, do not include a limit on
maximum
potential future payments. As of June 30, 2006, the Company has not
recorded liability for any obligations arising as a result of these
indemnifications.
|
17. |
In
July 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 48 (FIN 48)
“Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes” which prescribes a
recognition threshold and measurement process for recording in
the
financial statements uncertain tax positions taken or expected
to be taken
in a tax return. Furthermore, FIN 48 provides guidance on the
recognition,
classification, accounting in interim periods and disclosure
requirements
for uncertain tax positions. The accounting provisions of FIN
48 are
effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. The
Company is in the process of determining the effect of FIN 48, if
any, on its financial
statements.
