NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(UNAUDITED)

 

Note 1: BASIS OF PRESENTATION

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of Management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three-month period ended March 31, 2005, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the complete fiscal year. For additional information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2004. Unless the context indicates otherwise, “ICT,” “the Company,” “we,” “our,” and “us” refer to ICT Group, Inc., and, where appropriate, one or more of its subsidiaries.

 

Note 2: LINE OF CREDIT AND LONG-TERM DEBT

 

We have a $100.0 million revolving credit facility (the Credit Facility), which expires in December 2006. The Credit Facility includes sub-limits for both foreign denominated loans and letters of credit.

 

Under the Credit Facility, we have two borrowing options, either a “Base Rate” option, defined as the higher of federal funds plus 0.5% or prime plus a spread ranging from 0% to 0.75%, or a Eurocurrency rate option, defined as LIBOR plus a spread ranging from 1.25% to 2.25%. The amount of the spread under each borrowing option depends on the Company’s ratio of funded debt to EBITDA (income before interest expense, interest income, income taxes, and depreciation and amortization). We are also required to pay a quarterly commitment fee ranging from 0.25% to 0.50% of the unused amount. The Credit Facility contains certain affirmative and negative covenants including limitations on specified levels of consolidated leverage, consolidated fixed charges and minimum net worth requirements.

 

On January 31, 2005 we amended the Credit Facility to revise the definition of “Consolidated EBITDA” such that any non-cash accruals and cash payments made by the Company during 2005 relating to or in settlement of the Shingleton class action litigation (see Note 5), and not exceeding $15.0 million in the aggregate, shall be added back to Consolidated Net Income (as defined in the Credit Facility) for the purpose of calculating Consolidated EBITDA under the Credit Facility. This amendment allowed us to remain in compliance with our covenants upon payment of the settlement amounts in the Shingleton litigation.

 

We were in compliance with all covenants as of March 31, 2005.

 

At March 31, 2005, $47.5 million of borrowings was outstanding under the Credit Facility and was classified as a long-term liability. There were no outstanding foreign currency loans nor were there any outstanding letters of credit at March 31, 2005. The amount of the unused Credit Facility at March 31, 2005, was $52.5 million. The Credit Facility can be drawn upon through December 2, 2006, at which time all amounts outstanding must be repaid. Borrowings under the Credit Facility are collateralized by substantially all of our assets, as well as the capital stock of our subsidiaries.

Note 3: EARNINGS PER SHARE AND STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

 

We follow Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (“SFAS”) No. 128, “Earnings Per Share.” Basic earnings per share (Basic EPS) is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding. Diluted earnings per share (Diluted EPS) is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding, after giving effect to the potential dilution from the exercise of securities, such as stock options, into shares of common stock as if those securities were exercised. A reconciliation of shares used to compute EPS is shown below:

 

     Three Months Ended

(in thousands, except per share amounts)    2005

   2004

Net income

   $ 1,064    $ 224

Basic earnings per share:

             

Weighted average shares outstanding

     12,648      12,515

Net income per share

   $ 0.08    $ 0.02

Diluted earnings per share:

             

Weighted average shares outstanding

     12,648      12,515

Dilutive shares resulting from common stock equivalents (1)

     263      438

Weighted average shares and common stock equivalents outstanding

     12,911      12,953

Net income per share

   $ 0.08    $ 0.02

 

(1) Excluded from dilutive shares are the effects of 547,000 options outstanding for the period ended March 31, 2005, and 241,000 options outstanding for the period ended March 31, 2004, as the results would be antidilutive.

 

We use the intrinsic value method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation in accordance with Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,” and related interpretations. Deferred compensation is recorded for option grants to employees for the amount, if any, by which the market price per share exceeds the exercise price per share at the measurement date, which is generally the grant date. Typically, the exercise price of the options equals the market price at the date of grant. For the three months ended March 31, 2005 and 2004, we did not record any stock-based compensation expense. For option grants to non-employees, we apply fair value accounting in accordance with SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” and Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) Issue 96-18, “Accounting for Equity Instruments That Are Issued to Other Than Employees for Acquiring, or in Conjunction with Selling, Goods or Services.”

Had compensation cost for our stock-based compensation plans been determined under SFAS No. 123, net income and earnings per share would have been decreased to the following pro forma amounts:

   $ 0.08    $ 0.01

 

The weighted average fair value of the options granted during the three months ended March 31, 2005 and 2004, is estimated at $7.75 and $9.65 per share, respectively., These estimates, calculated on the date of grant, are derived from the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions:

Note 4: COMPREHENSIVE INCOME (LOSS)

 

We follow SFAS No. 130, “Reporting Comprehensive Income.” This Statement requires companies to classify items of other comprehensive income (loss) by their nature in a financial statement and display the accumulated balance of other comprehensive income (loss) separately from retained earnings and additional paid-in capital in the equity section of the consolidated balance sheet.
