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 subsidiaries: Synodex and docGenix. Synodex offers a range of data analysis services in the healthcare, medical and insurance areas.  docGenix 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.  Synodex is a limited liability company that is 77% owned by the Company and docGenix is a limited liability company that is 78% owned by the Company.  The Company purchased certain assets for docGenix from a third party for $0.4 million.

 

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 March 31, 2012, and the results of its operations and comprehensive income (loss), cash flows and stockholders’ equity for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011. 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, 2011, 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, 2011 consolidated financial statements.

 

Principles of Consolidation-The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Innodata Isogen, 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 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 Standards 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 stockholders’ 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 adopted the guidance in the first quarter of 2012. The adoption of this guidance did not 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 was permitted. The adoption of this guidance did not have any impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.
