INNODATA INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

THREE AND NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2020 AND 2019

(Unaudited) 

 

1.Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Basis of Presentation - The condensed consolidated financial statements for the interim periods included herein are unaudited; however, they contain all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring adjustments) that, in the opinion of management, are necessary to present fairly the consolidated financial position of Innodata Inc. (including its subsidiaries, the “Company”, “we”, “our” and “us”) as of September 30, 2020, the results of its operations and comprehensive loss for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, and stockholders’ equity for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for any other interim period or for the full year.

 

Certain information and note disclosures normally included in or with financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP) have been condensed or omitted from these condensed consolidated financial statements pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC and, accordingly, these condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2019, included in the Company’s 2019 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Unless otherwise noted, the accounting policies used in preparing these condensed consolidated financial statements are the same as those described in the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019.

 

Principles of Consolidation - The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Innodata Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries, 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 intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

Use of Estimates - In preparing condensed consolidated 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 condensed consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Management believes that the estimates used in the preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements are reasonable, and management has made assumptions about the possible effects of the novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”) pandemic on critical and significant accounting estimates. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates include those related to allowance for doubtful accounts and billing adjustments, useful life of long-lived assets, useful life of intangible assets, impairment of goodwill, valuation of deferred tax assets, valuation of stock-based compensation, litigation accruals and estimated accruals for various tax exposures.

 

Revenue Recognition - The Company’s revenue is recognized when services are rendered or goods are delivered to a customer, in an amount that reflects the consideration that the Company expects to receive in exchange for those services or goods as per the agreement with the customer. In cases where there are agreements with multiple performance obligations, the Company identifies each performance obligation and evaluates whether the performance obligations are distinct within the context of the agreement at the agreement’s inception. Performance obligations that are not distinct at agreement inception are combined. For agreements with distinct performance obligation, the Company allocates the transaction price to each distinct performance obligation proportionately based on the estimated standalone selling price for each performance obligation, if any, and then evaluates how the services are performed for the customer to determine the timing of revenue recognition.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

THREE AND NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2020 AND 2019

(Unaudited) 

 

For the Digital Data Solutions (DDS) segment, revenue is recognized primarily based on the quantity delivered or resources utilized in the period in which services are performed and performance conditions are satisfied as per the agreement. Revenues for agreements billed on a time-and-materials basis are recognized as services are performed. Revenues under fixed-fee agreements, which are not significant to overall revenues, are recognized based on the proportional performance method of accounting, as services are performed, or milestones are achieved.

 

For the Synodex segment, revenue is recognized primarily based on the quantity delivered in the period in which services are performed and performance conditions are satisfied as per the agreement. A portion of the Synodex segment revenue is derived from licensing our functional software and providing access to the Company’s hosted software platform. Revenue from such services is recognized monthly when all parties to the agreement have agreed to the agreement; each party’s rights are identifiable; the payment terms are identifiable; the agreement has commercial substance; access to the service is provided to the end user; and collection is probable.

 

The Agility segment derives its revenue primarily from subscription arrangements and provision of enriched media analysis services. It also derives revenue as a reseller of corporate communication solutions. Revenue from subscriptions is recognized monthly when access to the service is provided to the end user; all parties to the agreement have agreed to the agreement; each party’s rights are identifiable; the payment terms are identifiable; the agreement has commercial substance; and collection is probable. Revenue from enriched media analysis services is recognized when the services are performed, and performance conditions are satisfied. Revenues from the reseller agreements are recognized at the gross amount received for the goods in accordance with our functioning as a principal due to our meeting the following criteria: the Company acts as the primary obligor in the sales transaction; assumes the credit risk; sets the price; can select suppliers; and is involved in the execution of the services, including after sales service.

 

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

 

The Company considers U.S. GAAP criteria for determining whether to report gross revenue as a principal versus net revenue as an agent. The Company evaluates whether it is in control of the services before the same are transferred to the customer to assess whether it is principal or agent in the arrangement. Revenues are recognized on a gross basis if the Company is in the capacity of principal and on a net basis if it falls in the capacity of an agent. 

 

Contract acquisition costs, which are included in prepaid expenses and other current assets, for the Agility segment is amortized over the term of a subscription agreement that normally has a duration of 12 months or less. The Company reviews these costs on a periodic basis to determine the need to adjust the carrying values for pre-terminated contracts.

 

Foreign Currency - The functional currency of the Company’s production operations located in the Philippines, India, Sri Lanka and Israel is the U.S. dollar. Transactions denominated in Philippine pesos, Indian and Sri Lankan rupees and Israeli shekels are translated to U.S. dollars at rates using the average rates in effect on the transaction dates.

 

The functional currency for the Company’s subsidiaries in Germany, the United Kingdom and Canada are the Euro, the Pound Sterling and the Canadian dollar, respectively. The financial statements of these subsidiaries are prepared in these respective currencies. Financial information is translated from the applicable functional currency to the U.S. dollar (the reporting currency) for inclusion in the condensed 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 loss in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Foreign exchange transaction gains or losses are included in Direct operating costs in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss).

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 of foreign currency fluctuations 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 currencies.

 

Income Taxes - Deferred taxes are determined based on the difference between the financial statement and tax bases 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 foreign earnings in its foreign subsidiaries. Unremitted earnings of foreign subsidiaries have been included in the condensed consolidated financial statements without giving effect to the United States taxes that may be payable on distribution to the United States, because such earnings are not anticipated to be remitted to the United States.

 

In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considered whether it is more likely than not that all or some portion of the deferred tax assets will not be realizable. As the expectation of future taxable income resulting from the U.S. and Canadian operations 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 condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss).

 

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. Accrued expenses and other on the condensed consolidated balance sheets includes $1.1 million of deferred revenue as of each of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019.

 

Unbilled Receivable - (classified along-with Accounts receivable): Work performed, and expenses incurred in advance of invoicing are recorded as unbilled receivables. Accounts receivable on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets includes $0.4 million and $0.5 million of unbilled receivables as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes” as part of its initiative to reduce complexity in the accounting standards. The standard eliminates certain exceptions related to the approach for intra-period tax allocation, the methodology for calculating income taxes in an interim period and the recognition of deferred tax liabilities for outside basis differences. The standard also clarifies and simplifies other aspects of the accounting for income taxes. The standard is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2020. Early adoption is permitted. We do not expect that the adoption of the new guidance will have a material impact on our financial statements.

 

In August 2018, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2018-14, “Compensation-Retirement Benefits-Defined Benefit Plans-General (Subtopic 715-20): Disclosure Framework-Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Defined Benefit Plans” (ASU 2018-14), which makes changes to the disclosure requirements for employers that sponsor defined benefit pension and/or other postretirement benefit plans. The guidance eliminates requirements for certain disclosures that are no longer considered cost beneficial and adds new disclosure requirements that the FASB considers pertinent. ASU 2018-14 is effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2020 for public entities; early adoption is permitted. The Company does not expect ASU 2018-14 to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

 

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, “Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Statements” (ASU 2016-13). ASU 2016-13 requires a financial asset (or a group of financial assets) measured at amortized cost basis to be presented at the net amount expected to be collected. The allowance for credit losses is a valuation amount that is deducted from the amortized cost basis of the financial asset(s) to present the net carrying value at the amount expected to be collected on the financial asset. In November 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-19, “Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses,” which clarifies codification and corrects unintended application of the guidance, and in November 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-11, “Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses,” which clarifies or addresses specific issues about certain aspects of ASU 2016-13. In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-03, “Codification Improvements to Financial Instruments,” which modifies the measurement of expected credit losses of certain financial instruments. ASU 2016-13 is effective for certain Smaller Reporting Companies for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022 and interim periods within those fiscal years, which will be fiscal 2023 for us if we continue to be classified as a Smaller Reporting Company, with early adoption permitted. We do not expect that the adoption of the new guidance will have a material impact on our financial statements.

 

Correction of Immaterial Errors – During the preparation of the September 30, 2020 condensed consolidated financial statements, certain historical errors were identified relating to the accounting for capital leases under ASC Topics 840 and 842. The lease obligations under certain leases were not recorded at their present values at the inception of the leases; in addition, the asset buyout prices were not reassessed in December 2019 by the Company, both of which resulted in an understatement of expenses from 2017 to December 31, 2019 and an overstatement of expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2020.

The errors were not material, either quantitatively or qualitatively, in any of the reported periods. However, the corrections, if recorded in the three-month period ended September 30, 2020, would be material to such period. Accordingly, the prior period financial statements are being corrected by revising the prior period condensed consolidated financial statements for comparability. For the September 30, 2019 condensed consolidated financial statements and December 31, 2019 condensed consolidated balance sheet included in this Form 10-Q, the corrections are as follows:

 

·Increase in expenses of $8,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and $49,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. There was no impact on the loss per share for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2019.
·An increase in December 31, 2019 liabilities of $528,000.
·A decrease in December 31, 2019 retained earnings of $777,000.
·A decrease in December 31, 2019 total assets of $249,000.
·The impact on cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 was:
·A decrease in cash flows provided by operating activities of $38,000
·A decrease in cash flows used in investing activities of $79,000
·An increase in cash flows used in financing activities of $41,000

 

The Company evaluated each year’s/period’s errors under Staff Accounting Bulletins 99 and 108 and concluded that a restatement of year’s/prior periods’ consolidated financial statements is not required. Accordingly, the condensed consolidated financial statements and consolidated financial statements prior periods (March 31, 2020 and June 30, 2020) and year (December 31, 2019) consolidated financial statements will be revised in future Forms 10-Q and Form 10-K to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The September 2019 condensed consolidated financial statements and December 31, 2019 condensed consolidated balance sheet have been revised in this Form 10-Q.

 

2.Goodwill and Intangible Assets

 

The Company determined that adverse changes in macroeconomic trends as a consequence of the continuing COVID-19 pandemic constituted a triggering event under U.S. GAAP (Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) No. 350, “Intangibles - Goodwill and Other” and ASC No. 360, “Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets”). The Company completed its impairment analysis procedures as of March 31, 2020 and has updated its impairment analysis on its reporting units as of September 30, 2020. The Company determined that there was no impairment of long-lived assets, tangible or intangible, in any reporting units as of September 30, 2020.

 

The changes in the carrying amount of goodwill for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 were as follows (in thousands):

 

Balance as of January 1, 2019  $2,050 
Foreign currency translation adjustment   12 
Balance as of September 30, 2019  $2,062 
      
Balance as of January 1, 2020  $2,108 
Foreign currency translation adjustment   (39)
Balance as of September 30, 2020  $2,069 

 

The fair value measurement of goodwill was classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy because the Company used the income approach, which utilizes significant inputs that are unobservable in the market. The Company believes it made reasonable estimates and assumptions to calculate the fair value of the reporting unit as of the impairment test measurement date.

3.Income Taxes

 

The Company recorded a tax benefit of $0.1 million and a provision for income taxes of $0.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively; and a tax provision of $0.5 million for each of the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019.  Taxes primarily consist of a provision for foreign taxes recorded by the Company’s foreign subsidiaries in accordance with local tax regulations. Effective income tax rates are disproportionate due to the losses incurred by the Company’s U.S. entities and Canadian subsidiaries, a valuation allowance recorded on deferred taxes of these entities, a tax effect of foreign operations, including foreign exchange gains and losses and tax impact on uncertain tax position (ASC 740).

 

The reconciliations of the U.S. statutory rate with the Company’s effective tax rate for each of the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 are summarized in the table below:

 

   For the Nine Months Ended
September 30,
 
   2020   2019 
Federal income tax benefit at statutory rate   (21.0)%   (21.0)%
Effect of:        - 
Change in valuation allowance   (660.0)   (15.1)
Foreign rate differential   (295.9)   (1.8)
Return to provision true up   (14.8)   (0.3)
Withholding tax   -    4.5 
State income tax net of federal benefit   (120.1)   1.8 
Foreign operations permanent difference - foreign exchange gains and losses   90.3    (39.3)
Increase in unrecognized tax benefits (ASC 740)   410.5    30.8 
Tax effects of foreign operations   1,610.6    84.8 
Effect of share based compensation   263.7    - 
Others   29.0    (4.2)
Effective tax rate   1,292.3%   40.2%

  

As of September 30, 2020, the Company performed a calculation of the Global Intangible Low-Taxed Income provisions and concluded that it continues to have no impact on account of the net losses of certain foreign subsidiaries.

Balance - January 1, 2020  $2,957

The Company expects that unrecognized tax benefits as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, if recognized, would have a material 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 has open periods for U.S. Federal and state taxes from 2016 through 2019. Various foreign subsidiaries currently have open tax years from 2003 through 2019.

 

Tax Assessments

 

In September 2015, the Company’s Indian subsidiary was subject to an inquiry by the Service Tax Department 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. The Company disagrees with the Service Tax Department’s position. In November 2019, the Commissioner of Central Tax, GST & Central Excise issued an order confirming the Service Tax Department’s position. The Company is contesting this order in an appeal to the Customs, Excise and Service Tax Appellate Tribunal. In the event the Service Tax Department is ultimately successful in proving that the services fall under the category of OID Services, the revenues earned by the Company’s Indian subsidiary for the period July 2012 through November 2016 would be subject to a service tax of between 12.36% and 15%, and this subsidiary may also be liable for interest and penalties. The revenue of our Indian subsidiary during this period was approximately $66.0 million. In accordance with new rules promulgated by the Service Tax Department, as of December 1, 2016 service tax is no longer applicable to OID or BS Services. Based on the assessment of the Company’s counsel, the Company has not recorded any tax liability for this case.

 

In a separate action relating to service tax refunds, in October 2016, the Company’s Indian subsidiary received notices from the Indian Service Tax Department in India seeking to reverse service tax refunds of approximately $160,000 previously granted to our Indian subsidiary for three quarters in 2014, asserting that the services provided by this subsidiary fall under the category of OID Services and not BS Services. The appeal was determined in favor of the Service Tax Department. The Company disagrees with the basis of this decision and is contesting it. The Company expects delays in its Indian subsidiary receiving further service tax refunds until this matter is adjudicated with finality, and currently has service tax credits of approximately $1.0 million recorded as a receivable. Based on the assessment of the Company’s counsel, the Company has not recorded any tax liability for this case.

Substantial recovery against the Company in the above referenced 2015 Service Tax Department case could have a material adverse impact on the Company, and unfavorable rulings or recoveries in other tax proceedings could have a material adverse impact on the consolidated operating results of the period (and subsequent periods) in which the rulings or recovery occurs.

 

4.Commitments and Contingencies

 

COVID-19 Pandemic - The novel coronavirus disease 2019 (“COVID-19”), which the World Health Organization declared as a pandemic on March 11, 2020, continues to spread throughout the world. COVID-19 has created significant global economic downturn, disrupted global trade and supply chains, adversely impacted many industries, caused federal and regional governments to impose substantial restrictions on the operations of non-essential businesses and contributed to significant declines and volatility in financial markets. The rapid development and fluidity of this situation precludes any prediction as to the ultimate impact of COVID-19 on the Company’s performance and financial results.

 

The situation surrounding the COVID-19 crisis remains fluid and the extent and duration of its impact on the economy remains unclear. For this reason, the Company cannot reasonably estimate with any degree of certainty the future impact that the pandemic may have on the Company’s results of operations and financial condition. The potential for a material impact on the Company’s results of operations and financial position increases the longer the virus affects the level of economic activity in the United States and globally.

 

With the current level of demand for our services, the Company believes it has existing cash and cash equivalents that provide sufficient sources of liquidity to satisfy the Company’s financial needs for the next 12 months from the filing date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. In the event the Company experiences a significant or prolonged reduction in revenues, the likelihood of which is uncertain, it would seek to manage its liquidity by reducing capital expenditures, deferring investment activities and reducing operating costs, as it would likely have no other source of liquidity to support ongoing operations in a manner that is not significantly detrimental to the business.

 

Litigation - In 2008, a judgment was rendered in the Philippines against a Philippine subsidiary of the Company that is no longer active and purportedly also against Innodata Inc., in favor of certain former employees of the Philippine subsidiary. The potential payment amount aggregates to approximately $6.4 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 potential 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 of the Philippine subsidiary indicated that they proposed to record the judgment as to themselves 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 (USDC) 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 USDC. In June 2018, the USDC entered a consent order administratively closing the action subject to return of the action to the active docket upon the written request of Innodata Inc. or the former employees, with the USDC retaining jurisdiction over the matter and the preliminary injunction remaining in full force and effect.

 

The Company is also subject to various other legal proceedings and claims that have arisen in the ordinary course of business.

While management currently believes that the ultimate outcome of these proceedings will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position and results of operations, litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties. Substantial recovery against the Company in the above-referenced Philippine 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 financial position and operating results of the Company. In addition, the Company’s estimate of the potential impact on the Company’s financial position and results of operations for the above referenced legal proceedings could change in the future.

 

The Company’s legal accruals related to legal proceedings and claims are based on the Company’s 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 accruals are adjusted if necessary. While the Company intends to vigorously defend against these matters, adverse outcomes that it estimates could reach approximately $300,000 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.

These lease agreements have remaining lease terms ranging from two to ten years and, in most cases, provide for rental escalations ranging from 1.75% to 10%. Most of these agreements are renewable at the mutual consent of the parties in the contract.

Dilutive effect of outstanding options   790    -    -    - 
Adjusted for dilutive computation   25,260    25,856    24,427    25,870 

 

Basic income (loss) per share is computed using the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the year. Diluted income (loss) per share is computed by considering the impact of the potential issuance of common shares, using the treasury stock method, on the weighted average number of shares outstanding. 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 2.3 million shares of common stock for the three months ended September 30, 2020, were outstanding but not included in the computation of diluted income (loss) per share because the exercise price of the options were greater than the average market price of the common shares and therefore have not been considered as potential equity shares. Diluted loss per share and Basic loss per share are the same due to the reported loss for three months ended September 30, 2019. Options to purchase 6.9 million shares of common stock were anti-dilutive for three months ended September 30, 2019.

 

Diluted loss per share and Basic loss per share are the same due to the reported loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and September 30, 2019. Options to purchase 7.0 million shares and 6.9 million shares of common stock were anti-dilutive for nine months ended September 30, 2020 and September 30, 2019, respectively.

 

11.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.

The following Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (MD&A) is intended to help the reader understand the results of operations and financial condition of Innodata Inc. and its subsidiaries. The current MD&A is provided as a supplement to, and should be read in conjunction with the MD&A and the consolidated financial statements and related notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 and our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes to condensed consolidated financial statements contained in Part I, Item 1 of this Report.

 

Correction of Immaterial Errors – During the preparation of the September 30, 2020 condensed consolidated financial statements, certain historical errors were identified relating to the accounting for capital leases under ASC Topics 840 and 842. The lease obligations under certain leases were not recorded at their present values at the inception of the leases; in addition, the asset buyout prices were not reassessed in December 2019 by the Company, both of which resulted in an understatement of expenses from 2017 to December 31, 2019 and an overstatement of expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2020.

 

The errors were not material, either quantitatively or qualitatively, in any of the reported periods. However, the corrections, if recorded in the three-month period ended September 30, 2020, would be material to such period. Accordingly, the prior period financial statements are being corrected by revising the prior period condensed consolidated financial statements for comparability. For the September 30, 2019 condensed consolidated financial statements and December 31, 2019 condensed consolidated balance sheet included in this Form 10-Q, the corrections are as follows:

 

·Increase in expenses of $8,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and $49,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. There was no impact on the loss per share for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2019.
·An increase in December 31, 2019 liabilities of $528,000.
·A decrease in December 31, 2019 retained earnings of $777,000.
·A decrease in December 31, 2019 total assets of $249,000.
·The impact on cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 was:
·A decrease in cash flows provided by operating activities of $38,000
·A decrease in cash flows used in investing activities of $79,000
·An increase in cash flows used in financing activities of $41,000

 

The Company evaluated each year’s/period’s errors under Staff Accounting Bulletins 99 and 108 and concluded that a restatement of year’s/prior periods’ consolidated financial statements is not required. Accordingly, the condensed consolidated financial statements and consolidated financial statements prior periods (March 31, 2020 and June 30, 2020) and year (December 31, 2019) consolidated financial statements will be revised in future Forms 10-Q and Form 10-K to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The September 2019 condensed consolidated financial statements and December 31, 2019 condensed consolidated balance sheet have been revised in this Form 10-Q.

(iv)Intelligent Automation

 

Enterprises are increasingly looking to re-invent business processes to take advantage of advancements in AI and machine learning, computing, and storage. Many seek easier ways to train, deploy, and leverage these advanced capabilities. For clients with critical business processes that involve documents, images, text, emails and other unstructured data, we deploy a range of technologies, including AI and robotic process automation (RPA), to eliminate repetitive tasks, automate where possible, speed up operations, and shift internal talent to creative and analytical work.

 

We provide intelligent automation for an increasing diversity of complex functions. At present, these include IP rights management, contract management, client relationship management, regulatory change management, underwriting, and content operations management.

 

(v)Intelligent Data Platforms

 

We build and manage intelligent data platforms that address specific, niche market requirements with our data engineering technologies. We deploy these platforms as SaaS and as managed data solutions. To date, we have built an intelligent data platform for medical records data transformation (which we brand as “Synodex”) and for marketing communications/public relations workflow (which we brand as “Agility”).

 

Our Synodex intelligent data platform transforms medical records into useable digital data organized in accordance with our proprietary data models or client data models. At the end of 2019, we had 20 clients utilizing our Synodex platform, including 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.

 

Our Agility intelligent data platform provides marketing communications and public relations professionals with the ability to target and distribute content to journalists and social media influencers worldwide and to monitor and analyze global news channels (print, web, radio and TV) and social media channels.

 

(vi)Other Services for Information Industry Clients

 

In addition, we provide a variety of services for clients in the information industry that relate to content operations and product development.

 

The Company’s operations are presently classified and reported in three reporting segments: DDS, Synodex and Agility.

 

Inflation, Seasonality and Prevailing Economic Conditions

 

Prevailing Economic Conditions

 

The novel coronavirus disease 2019, which the World Health Organization declared as a pandemic on March 11, 2020, continues to spread throughout the world. COVID-19 has created significant global economic downturn, disrupted global trade and supply chains, adversely impacted many industries, caused federal and regional governments to impose substantial restrictions on the operations of non-essential businesses and contributed to significant declines and volatility in financial markets. The rapid development and fluidity of this situation precludes any prediction as to the ultimate impact of COVID-19 on our performance and financial results.

 

Prior to the pandemic being declared, we prepared a Business Continuity Plan (BCP) for our 12 global delivery centers and offices. When COVID-19 was declared to be a pandemic, we triggered our BCP, enabling us to continue operations while safeguarding the health and welfare of our employees.

 

27

 

 

While the pandemic presented, and may in the future present, new risks to our business and there have been logistical and other challenges, there was no material adverse impact on our results of operations for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2020.

 

The situation surrounding the COVID-19 crisis remains fluid and the extent and duration of its impact to the economy remains unclear. For this reason, we cannot reasonably estimate with any degree of certainty the future impact that it may have on our results of operations and financial condition. The potential for a material impact on our results of operations and financial position increases the longer the virus affects the level of economic activity in the United States and globally.

 

With the current level of demand for our services, we believe we have existing cash and cash equivalents that provide sufficient sources of liquidity to satisfy our financial needs for the next 12 months from the date of the filing of this Report (refer to Item 2. “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Liquidity and Capital Resources” for additional information). In the event we experience a significant or prolonged reduction in revenues, the likelihood of which is uncertain, we would seek to manage our liquidity by reducing capital expenditures, deferring investment activities, and reducing operating costs as we would likely have no other sources of liquidity to support ongoing operations in a manner that is not significantly detrimental to the business.

 

We determined that adverse changes in macroeconomic trends as a consequence of the continuing COVID-19 pandemic constituted a triggering event under U.S. GAAP (Accounting Standards Codification No. 350, “Intangibles-Goodwill and Other” and Accounting Standards Codification No. 360, “Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets”). We completed our impairment analysis procedures as of March 31, 2020 and have updated our impairment analysis on our reporting units as of September 30, 2020. We have determined that there was no impairment of long-lived assets, tangible nor intangible, in any reporting units as of September 30, 2020.

 

Inflation

 

Our most significant costs are the salaries and related benefits of our employees in Asia. We are exposed to high 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.

 

Seasonality

 

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.

 

For further information refer to the risk factor titled “Quarterly fluctuations in our revenues and results of operations could make financial forecasting difficult and could negatively affect our stock price.” in Part I, Item 1A. “Risk Factors” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.

Results of Operations

 

Amounts in the MD&A below have been rounded. All percentages have been calculated using rounded amounts.

 

Three Months Ended September 30, 2020 and 2019

 

Revenues

 

Total revenues were $14.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020, compared to $13.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019, an increase of approximately $0.8 million or 6%. The increase was primarily attributable to increased volumes in all segments.

 

Revenues from the DDS segment were $10.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020, compared to $10.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019, an increase of approximately $0.5 million or 5%. The increase was primarily attributable to revenues generated from new clients.

 

Revenues from the Synodex segment were $1.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020, compared to $1.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019, an increase of approximately $0.2 million or 20%. The increase was primarily attributed to higher volumes from one existing client.

 

Revenues from the Agility segment were $2.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020, compared to $2.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019, an increase of $0.1 million or approximately 4%. The increase was principally attributable to an increase in the number of subscriptions to our Agility intelligent data platform and newswire products.

 

Two clients in the DDS segment generated approximately 23% and 25% of the Company’s total revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and September 30, 2019, respectively.  No other client accounted for 10% or more of total revenues during these periods. Further, revenues from non-U.S. clients accounted for 55% and 57% of the Company’s total revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

 

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.

 

29

 

 

Direct operating costs were $9.8 million and $9.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, an increase of $0.8 million. This increase was primarily due to increases in labor related costs of $0.9 million and technology related expenditures in connection with our BCP in response to the COVID-19 pandemic of $0.3 million. The increase was offset in part by reductions in occupancy and related costs of $0.3 million and other operating costs of $0.1 million due to COVID-19. Direct operating costs as a percentage of total revenues were 67% and 65% for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The increase in Direct operating costs as a percentage of total revenues was primarily attributable to increased Direct operating costs in the DDS segment.

 

Direct operating costs for the DDS segment were approximately $7.4 million and $6.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, an increase of $0.9 million. This increase was primarily due to an increase in labor related costs of $0.8 million, an unfavorable foreign exchange remeasurement effect of $0.1 million, and technology related expenditures in connection with our BCP in response to the COVID-19 pandemic of $0.3 million. The increase was offset in part by reductions in occupancy and related costs of $0.3 million. Direct operating costs as percentage of segment revenues were 70% and 64% for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The increase in Direct operating costs as a percentage of segment revenues was primarily attributable to the higher Direct operating costs.

 

Direct operating costs for the Synodex segment were $0.9 million and $0.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Direct operating costs for the Synodex segment as a percentage of Synodex segment revenues were 75% and 80% for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The decrease in Direct operating costs as a percentage of segment revenues was primarily due to higher revenues.

 

 Direct operating costs for the Agility segment were $1.5 million and $1.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Direct operating costs for the Agility segment as a percentage of Agility segment revenues were 54% and 63% for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The decrease in Direct operating costs as a percentage of segment revenues was primarily due to higher revenues from subscriptions to our Agility intelligent data platform and newswire products.

 

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.

 

Selling and administrative expenses were $4.6 million and $5.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, a decrease of $0.4 million. This decrease was attributable to lower labor related costs of $0.2 million, lower operating costs of $0.1 million and a lower provision for doubtful accounts of $0.1 million. Selling and administrative expenses as a percentage of total revenues were 32% and 36% for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The decrease in Selling and administrative expenses as a percentage of total revenues was primarily attributable to increased revenues in all segments.

 

Selling and administrative expenses for the DDS segment were $3.3 million for each of the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019. As a percentage of DDS revenues, DDS selling and administrative expenses were 31% and 33% for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

 

Selling and administrative expenses for the Synodex segment were $0.2 million for each of the three-month periods ended September 30, 2020 and 2019. Selling and administrative expenses for the Synodex segment as a percentage of Synodex segment revenues were 17% and 20% for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

 

30

 

 

Selling and administrative expenses for the Agility segment were $1.1 million and $1.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, a decrease of $0.4 million. This decrease was primarily due to a reduction in labor related costs of $0.1 million; a provision for doubtful accounts of $0.1 million and net decreases in other selling and administrative expenses of $0.2 million. Selling and administrative expenses for the Agility segment as a percentage of Agility segment revenues were 39% and 56% for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The decrease in Selling and administrative expenses as a percentage of segment revenues was primarily due to higher revenue from subscriptions to our Agility intelligent data platform and newswire products.

 

Income Taxes

 

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, a valuation allowance recorded on deferred taxes on these entities, and tax effects of foreign operations, including foreign exchange gains and losses and tax impact on uncertain tax position (ASC 740).

 

We recorded a tax benefit of $0.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and a provision for income taxes of $0.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019. The decrease is primarily due to a lower tax provision for our foreign subsidiaries in the three months ended September 30, 2020.

 

Net Income (Loss)

 

Net income was $0.2 million during the three months ended September 30, 2020, compared to a net loss of $0.6 million during the three months ended September 30, 2019. The improvement of $0.8 million was a result of $0.3 million pre-tax income and $0.5 million tax benefit in the current quarter.

 

Net loss for the DDS segment was $0.1 million for each of the three months ended September 30, 2020 and September 30, 2019. The pre-tax net loss of $0.5 million was offset by a $0.5 million tax benefit in the current quarter.

 

Net income for the Synodex segment was $0.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020 compared to breakeven for the three months ended September 30, 2019, an increase of $0.1 million. The increase was primarily attributable to the higher revenues in the current quarter.

 

Net income for the Agility segment was $0.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020, compared to a net loss of $0.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019. The improvement of $0.6 million was due to higher revenues and lower operating costs in the current quarter.

Direct operating costs were $29.2 million and $28.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, an increase of $1.0 million. This increase was primarily due to an increase in labor related costs of $1.6 million, unfavorable foreign exchange remeasurement effect of $0.1 million, and technology-related expenditures in connection with our BCP in response to the COVID-19 pandemic of $0.8 million. The increase was offset in part by reductions in occupancy and related costs of $0.8 million, content acquisition costs of $0.2 million, and other operating costs of $0.1 million, and by a one-time charge of $0.4 million in the second quarter of 2019 for an assessment of retroactive foreign social security contributions as a result of a decision by the Supreme Court of India that affected companies generally. Direct operating costs as a percentage of total revenues were 68% for each of the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019.

Selling and administrative expenses were $13.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, compared to $14.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, a decrease of $0.4 million. This decrease was primarily due to lower labor related costs during the period. Selling and administrative expenses as a percentage of total revenues were 32% and 34% for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The decrease in Selling and administrative expenses as a percentage of total revenues was primarily attributable to increased revenues and lower Selling and administrative expenses in the current quarter.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Selected measures of liquidity and capital resources, expressed in thousands, were as follows:

 

   September 30, 2020   December 31, 2019 
Cash and cash equivalents  $15,336   $10,874 
Working capital   9,045    8,250 

 

On September 30, 2020, we had cash and cash equivalents of $15.3 million, of which $7.5 million was held by our foreign subsidiaries, and $7.8 million was held in the United States. Despite our ability under existing tax law to repatriate funds from overseas after paying the toll charge, it is our intent as of September 30, 2020, 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 and the working capital need of foreign subsidiaries.

 

We have used, and plan to use, our cash and cash equivalents for (i) investments in the Agility segment; (ii) the expansion of our other operations; (iii) technology innovation; (iv) product management and strategic marketing; (v) general corporate purposes, including working capital; and (vi) possible business acquisitions. As of September 30, 2020, we had working capital of approximately $ 9.0 million, as compared to working capital of approximately $8.3 million as of December 31, 2019.

 

34

 

 

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 from the date of issuance of these financial statements. However, we have no bank facilities or lines of credit. 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.

 

On May 4, 2020, we received loan proceeds of $579,700 under the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP), which was established as part of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act. The loans and accrued interest are forgivable, as long as the borrower uses the loan proceeds for eligible purposes, including payroll, benefits, rent and utilities, and maintains its payroll levels. The unforgiven portion of the loan is payable over two years at an interest rate of 1% per year, with a deferral of payments until the date that the Small Business Administration remits the borrower’s loan forgiveness amount to the lender

 

Cash Flows

 

Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities

 

Cash provided by our operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 was $5.7 million primarily on account of the following factors: our net loss for the period of $0.5 million; a source of $2.6 million from non-cash expenses consisting of depreciation and amortization of $1.7 million, stock-based compensation of $0.7 million and pension cost of $0.6 million, which factors were offset in part by an increase in deferred tax provisions of $0.4 million; net changes from working capital accounts that contributed an additional source of $3.6 million brought about by an increase in accrued salaries, wages and other related benefits of $1.7 million, an increase in accounts payable, accrued expenses and other of $0.8 million, a $0.6 million decrease in accounts receivable, and a net increase of $0.5 million in other working capital items. Refer to the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for further details.

 

Cash provided by our operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 was $4.9 million primarily on account of the $2.5 million decrease in our accounts receivable, a $0.9 million decrease in prepaid and other current assets, a $0.7 million increase in income and other taxes and a $0.1 million increase in other working capital items. This favorable result was reduced by our net loss of $1.7 million in the period. The reduction in accounts receivable was a result of improvements in our collections during the period. Refer to the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for further details.

 

Our days’ sales outstanding (DSO) were 59 days for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 66 days for the year ended December 31, 2019. We calculate DSO for a reported period by first dividing the total revenues for the period by the average net accounts receivable for the period (which is the sum of the net accounts receivable at the beginning of the period and the net accounts receivable at the end of the period, divided by two), to yield an amount we refer to as the “accounts receivable turnover”. Then we divide the total number of days within the reported period by the accounts receivable turnover to yield DSO expressed in number of days.

 

Net Cash Used in Investing Activities

 

For the nine months ended September 30, 2020, cash used in our investing activities was $1.1 million. These expenditures principally consisted of purchases to augment our network infrastructure in relation to our BCP initiatives in response to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.

 

For the nine months ended September 30, 2019, cash used in our investing activities was $1.3 million. These expenditures principally consisted of purchases of technology equipment including servers, network infrastructure and workstations.

During the next 12 months, we anticipate that capital expenditures for ongoing technology, equipment and infrastructure upgrades will approximate $2.0 million to $2.3 million, respectively.

 

The source of funds for the anticipated capital expenditures will be cash generated from our operations.

 

Net Cash Provided by and Used in Financing Activities

 

Cash provided by financing activities was from the proceeds of the PPP Loan received amounting to $0.6 million and proceeds from stock option exercises of $0.2 million. Cash used in financing activities was for payments of long-term obligations of $0.8 million and $0.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and September 30, 2019, respectively.

 

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

 

Our discussion and analysis of our results of operations, liquidity and capital resources is based on our condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in conformity with U.S. GAAP. The preparation of the condensed 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 condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

The significant accounting policies used in preparing these condensed consolidated financial statements are the same as those described in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, unless otherwise noted.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes” as part of its initiative to reduce complexity in the accounting standards. The standard eliminates certain exceptions related to the approach for intra-period tax allocation, the methodology for calculating income taxes in an interim period and the recognition of deferred tax liabilities for outside basis differences. The standard also clarifies and simplifies other aspects of the accounting for income taxes. The standard is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2020. Early adoption is permitted. We do not expect that the adoption of the new guidance will have a significant impact on our financial statements.

In August 2018, the FASB issued (ASU) No. 2018-14, “Compensation-Retirement Benefits-Defined Benefit Plans-General (Subtopic 715-20): Disclosure Framework-Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Defined Benefit Plans” (ASU 2018-14), which makes minor changes to the disclosure requirements for employers that sponsor defined benefit pension and/or other postretirement benefit plans. The guidance eliminates requirements for certain disclosures that are no longer considered cost beneficial and adds new disclosure requirements that the FASB considers pertinent. ASU 2018-14 is effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2020 for public entities; early adoption is permitted. The Company does not expect ASU 2018-14 to have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, “Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Statements” (ASU 2016-13). ASU 2016-13 requires a financial asset (or a group of financial assets) measured at amortized cost basis to be presented at the net amount expected to be collected. The allowance for credit losses is a valuation amount that is deducted from the amortized cost basis of the financial asset(s) to present the net carrying value at the amount expected to be collected on the financial asset. In November 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-19, “Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses,” which clarifies codification and corrects unintended application of the guidance, and in November 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-11, “Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses,” which clarifies or addresses specific issues about certain aspects of ASU 2016-13. In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-03, “Codification Improvements to Financial Instruments,” which modifies the measurement of expected credit losses of certain financial instruments. ASU 2016-13 is effective for certain Smaller Reporting Companies for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022 and interim periods within those fiscal years, which will be fiscal 2023 for us if we continue to be classified as a Smaller Reporting Company, with early adoption permitted. We do not expect that the adoption of the new guidance will have a material impact on our financial statements.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

None.

 

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

 

Not applicable for smaller reporting companies.

 

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

 

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (Exchange Act), that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act 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 principal 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 principal 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), as of September 30 2020. Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer concluded that, as of September 30, 2020, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective. This was due to the lack of appropriate review procedures related to evaluation and proper accounting for lease contracts consistent with capital lease accounting under U.S. GAAP.

 

37

 

 

The Company determined that it did not maintain effective controls to ensure that leasing transactions were properly accounted for in accordance with U.S. GAAP, which constitutes a material weakness in internal control over financial reporting. A material weakness is a deficiency or a combination of deficiencies in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company’s annual or interim financial information will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

 

To address these deficiencies, we will remediate our control procedures to reduce the likelihood of these errors recurring. We will implement additional quarterly control procedures to review any changes in events affecting our leasing transactions to ensure proper accounting under U.S. GAAP.

 

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) or 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the three months ended September 30, 2020 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

The effects of the COVID-19 pandemic could materially adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition

 

The novel coronavirus disease 2019 (“COVID-19”), which the World Health Organization declared a pandemic on March 11, 2020, continues to spread throughout the world. COVID-19 has created significant global economic downturn, disrupted global trade and supply chains, adversely impacted many industries, and contributed to significant declines and volatility in financial markets. In response to COVID-19, countries and local governments have imposed restrictions on the operations of non-essential businesses and services, imposed travel restrictions and implemented societal lockdowns. Additionally, companies are taking precautions, such as requiring employees to work remotely and temporarily closing businesses. All of these factors have had, and are likely to continue to have, a severe adverse effect on global economic conditions, underemployment and unemployment, consumer spending and reductions in non-essential spending by governments and private companies, as well as uncertainty in financial markets. We have experienced limited operational disruptions and declines in customer demand for services to date; however, depending upon the extent and duration of the COVID-19 pandemic, we may experience a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition as a result of the effects of COVID-19.

 

In response to the declaration of the COVID-19 pandemic we triggered our Business Continuity Plan for our 12 global delivery centers and offices, enabling us to continue operations while safeguarding the health and welfare of our employees. While the pandemic presented, and may in the future present, new risks to our business and there have been logistical and other challenges, there was no material adverse impact on our financial condition or results of operations for the quarter ended September 30, 2020. In addition, the COVID-19 pandemic could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition by, among others, customers with at-will contracts, particularly in our DDS segment, reducing, delaying or cancelling orders; reduced spending by customers on third-party service providers as part of cost-rationalization efforts or otherwise; or customers determining to bring services in-house and/or customers delaying or postponing data engineering needs. Additionally, the effects of COVID-19 could exacerbate any other risks or uncertainties to which we are subject. Lastly, should we experience material adverse effects on our results of operations or financial condition, we may not be able to access additional sources of liquidity at rates that are acceptable to us, if at all.

 

39

 

 

The situation surrounding COVID-19 crisis remains fluid and the extent and duration of its impact to the economy remains unclear. For this reason, we cannot reasonably estimate with any degree of certainty the future impact to our results of operations and financial condition. The potential for a material impact on our results of operations and financial condition increases the longer the virus affects the level of economic activity in the United States and globally. In the event we experience a significant or prolonged reduction in revenues, the likelihood of which is uncertain, we would seek to manage our liquidity by reducing capital expenditures, deferring investment activities, and reducing operating costs as we would likely have no other source of liquidity to support ongoing operations in a manner that is not significantly detrimental to the business.
