Commitments and Contingencies	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Litigation – In 2008, a judgment was rendered in the Philippines against a Philippine subsidiary of the Company that is no longer active and purportedly also against Innodata Inc., in favor of certain former employees of the Philippine subsidiary.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.
