Description of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
 
Description of Business-Innodata Isogen, Inc. and subsidiaries (the “Company”) provide services, products and solutions that our customers use to create, manage, use and distribute digital information.  Our customers include leading media, publishing and information services companies, as well as enterprises that are prominent in information technology, manufacturing, aerospace, defense, financial services, government, healthcare and law.
 
The Company operates in two reporting segments.
 
The Company’s Content Services (CS) segment provides business process, technology and consulting services to assist customers in creating, managing, using and distributing digital content.
 
In the second quarter of 2011, the Company launched Innodata Advanced Data Solutions (IADS) as a separate segment to perform advanced data analysis.  IADS operates through two divisions.  The Synodex division of IADS offers a range of data analysis services in the healthcare, medical and insurance areas.  The docGenix division of IADS provides software products and services that facilitate the generation and analysis of standardized and non-standardized documents for swaps, derivatives, repos, securities lending, prime brokerage, investment management and clearing.  The Synodex division is a limited liability company that is 77% owned by the Company.  The docGenix division of IADS is a limited liability company that is 78% owned by the Company.  The Company purchased certain assets for the docGenix division from a third party for $0.4 million.  The divisions are at an early stage of development and reported no revenues in 2011.

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) which, in the opinion of management, are necessary to present fairly the consolidated financial position of the Company as of September 30, 2011, and the results of its operations, cash flows and stockholders’ equity for the periods ended September 30, 2011 and 2010. 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.

These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2010 included in the Company's 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 December 31, 2010 consolidated financial statements.

 Principles of Consolidation-The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Innodata Isogen, Inc., 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 in accordance with the non-controlling interest guidance. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

Use of Estimates-In preparing financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates include those related to revenue recognition, allowance for doubtful accounts and billing adjustments, long-lived assets, goodwill, valuation of deferred tax assets, valuation of securities underlying stock-based compensation, litigation accruals, pension benefits, valuation of derivative instruments and estimated accruals for various tax exposures.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements-In June 2011, the Financial Accounting Standard Board (FASB) issued a standard regarding the presentation of other comprehensive income (OCI). The new guidance eliminates the option of presenting OCI in the statement of changes in equity, and requires the Company to report items of OCI in either (1) a continuous statement of comprehensive income or (2) two separate but consecutive statements. The guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011. The Company will adopt the guidance as required. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have any impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

In September 2011, the FASB issued an update on the testing of goodwill impairment. The revised standard provides companies with the option of performing a “qualitative” assessment to determine whether further impairment testing is necessary. An entity can choose to perform the qualitative assessment on none, some, or all of its reporting units, or can bypass the qualitative assessment for any reporting unit in any period and proceed directly to step one of the impairment test. The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011, however early adoption is permitted. The Company adopted the guidance early and performed a qualitative assessment. The adoption of this guidance did not have any impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.
