Commitments and Contingencies
 
Line of Credit - The Company has a $15.0 million uncommitted bank line that expires in June 2014 which provides that at the bank’s discretion the Company may on a secured basis borrow amounts equal to up to 80% of the Company’s eligible accounts receivable at the bank’s alternate base interest rate plus 0.5% or LIBOR plus 2.5%. The Company has never made any borrowings under this line. In February 2014, the bank advised the Company that it did not intend to make any advances or extensions of credit or other financial accommodations under the line, and that it would not consider permitting advances in the future unless and until it has received from the Company designated financial and business information, all in form and substance satisfactory to the bank.
 
Litigation - In 2008, the Supreme Court of the Republic of the Philippines refused to review a decision of the Court of Appeals in Manila against a Philippines subsidiary of the Company that is inactive and has no material assets, and purportedly also against Innodata Inc., that orders the reinstatement of certain former employees of the subsidiary to their former positions and also orders the payment of back wages and benefits that aggregate approximately $8.0 million. Based on consultation with legal counsel, the Company believes that recovery against the Company is unlikely.
 
The Company is also subject to various legal proceedings and claims which arise 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 or overall trends in results of operations, litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties. Substantial recovery against the Company in the above-referenced Philippines 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 operating results of the period in which the ruling or recovery occurs. In addition, the Company’s estimate of potential impact on the Company’s financial position or overall results of operations for the above legal proceedings could change in the future.
 
The Company’s legal reserves related to legal proceedings and claims are based on a 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 reserves are adjusted if necessary. While the Company intends to defend these matters vigorously, adverse outcomes that it estimates could reach approximately $250,000 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 financial condition and results of operations.
