NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(UNAUDITED)

 

1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

 

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of Access Worldwide Communications, Inc. (“Access Worldwide,” “we,” “our,” “us,” or the “Company”) have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, we do not include therein all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for a complete set of consolidated financial statements. For further information, refer to our consolidated financial statements and footnotes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K as of and for the year ended December 31, 2003, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

 

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts included in the consolidated financial statements. In our opinion, all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of this interim financial information have been included. Such adjustments consisted only of normal recurring items. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2004 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2004.

 

2. RECLASSIFICATIONS

 

Certain reclassifications have been made to the 2003 consolidated financial statements to conform to the March 31, 2004 presentation. Such reclassifications did not change our net loss or total common stockholders’ deficit as previously reported.

 

3. RESTRICTED CASH

 

On June 10, 2003, we obtained a new letter of credit (“Letter of Credit”) in the amount of $834,000 to replace the original letter of credit issued to the landlord of our Maryland communication center in 2001. The Letter of Credit was collateralized by a certificate of deposit in the same amount. Therefore, such certificate of deposit is classified as restricted cash in the accompanying balance sheets at March 31, 2004 and December 31, 2003.

 

The amount of the Letter of Credit and restricted cash will be reduced on each anniversary of the lease agreement through May 2011. The balance of the Letter of Credit will be reduced to the amount shown on each anniversary date as follows:

 

May 2004

   $ 711,000

May 2005

     589,000

May 2006

     466,000

May 2007

     343,000

May 2008 through 2010

     221,000

 

4. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

 

Options granted under our stock-based compensation plan to employees are accounted for using the intrinsic value method. We do not recognize compensation expense in connection with granting stock options to employees as the strike price of the option at the time of grant equals the fair market value of our stock at such time. Options granted under our stock-based compensation plan to non-employees are accounted for based on fair value accounting rules.

 

No compensation cost has been recognized for options granted under our stock-based compensation plan except for a grant of 150,000 stock options to an executive of the Company with a strike price of $0.50 per share on January 2, 2003. The Company recorded unearned stock compensation for the intrinsic value of the award ($33,000) in connection with the grant. Such amount, which
