DG FASTCHANNEL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

1.  GENERAL

 

The Company

 

DG FastChannel, Inc. and subsidiaries (the “Company,” “we,” “us” or “our”) is a provider of digital technology services that enable the electronic delivery of advertisements, syndicated programs, and video news releases to traditional broadcasters, online publishers and other media outlets. We operate three nationwide digital networks out of our network operation centers (“NOCs”) located in Irving, Texas; Atlanta, Georgia and Jersey City, New Jersey, which link more than 5,000 advertisers, advertising agencies and content owners with more than 23,000 television, radio, cable, network and print publishing destinations and over 5,000 online publishers electronically throughout the United States, Canada and Europe. We also offer a variety of other ancillary products and services to the advertising industry.

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”) and include the accounts of our subsidiaries.  All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

These financial statements have been prepared by us without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).  Certain information and disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations.  However, we believe the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading.  The unaudited consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, which are, in the opinion of management, of a normal and recurring nature and necessary for a fair presentation of our financial position as of the balance sheet dates, and the results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented.  These unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009 (“Annual Report”).  Revenues presented in the financial statements are net of sales taxes collected.

 

Our business is seasonal, as a large portion of our revenues follow the advertising patterns of our customers.  Revenues tend to be lowest in the first quarter, build throughout the year and are generally the highest in the fourth quarter.  Further, our revenues are affected by political advertising, which peaks every other year consistent with the national, state and local election cycles.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and 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. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to the allowance for doubtful accounts and credit memo reserves, intangible assets, office closure costs and income taxes. We base our estimates on historical experience and on other relevant assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

2.  RECENTLY ADOPTED AND RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING GUIDANCE

 

Adopted

 

In January 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2010 - 06 — Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820): Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements.  This standard amends the disclosure guidance with respect to fair value measurements for both interim and annual reporting periods.  Specifically, this standard requires new disclosures for significant transfers of assets or liabilities

 

8



Table of Contents

 

between Level 1 and Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy; separate disclosures for purchases, sales, issuances and settlements of Level 3 fair value items on a gross, rather than net basis; and more robust disclosure of the valuation techniques and inputs used to measure Level 2 and Level 3 assets and liabilities.  Except for the detailed disclosures of changes in Level 3 items, which will be effective for us as of January 1, 2011, the remaining new disclosure requirements were effective for us as of January 1, 2010.  We have included these new disclosures, as applicable, in Note 3.

 

Issued

 

In September 2009, the FASB issued changes to revenue arrangements with multiple deliverables. The new standard is included in the Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) under subtopic 605-25 and modifies the revenue recognition guidance for arrangements that involve the delivery of multiple elements, such as product, software, services or support, to a customer at different times as part of a single revenue generating transaction.  The new standard provides principles and application guidance to determine whether multiple deliverables exist, how the individual deliverables should be separated and how to allocate the revenue in the arrangement among those separate deliverables.  The standard also expands the disclosure requirements for multiple deliverable revenue arrangements.  The new standard will be effective for us beginning January 1, 2011, unless we elect to early adopt. We are currently evaluating the impact of these changes on our financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

 

3.  FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

 

ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.

 

ASC 820 establishes a three-level fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value. This hierarchy requires entities to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The three levels of inputs used to measure fair value are as follows:

 

·

Level 1 — Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

 

 

·

Level 2 — Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1, such as quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.

Level 3 — Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. This includes certain pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies and similar techniques that use significant unobservable inputs.

 

We have segregated our financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis (at least annually) into the most appropriate level within the fair value hierarchy based on the inputs used to determine the fair value at the measurement date.

 

The tables below set forth by level, assets and liabilities that were accounted for at fair value as of June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009. The tables do not include cash on hand or assets and liabilities that are measured at historical cost or any basis other than fair value (in thousands):

Our cash equivalents consist of highly liquid money market funds. Fair value is determined based upon market prices. The fair value of our long-term debt (see Note 5) at December 31, 2009 was estimated to approximate its carrying value based on (i) the recentness of entering into, or amending, our credit facility, (ii) the variable rate nature of our credit facility and (iii) the interest rate spreads charged on our loans fluctuating with the total leverage ratio, which is a measurement of our creditworthiness.

Senior Credit Facility

 

In March 2008, we entered into a six-year, $145 million credit facility (the “Senior Credit Facility”).  In March 2009, the Senior Credit Facility was amended to permit $40 million of additional term loan borrowings.  The Senior Credit Facility, as amended, contains term loans, acquisition loans and a $30 million revolving credit facility.  Borrowings under the Senior Credit Facility bear interest at the base rate or LIBOR, plus the applicable margin for each that fluctuates with the total leverage ratio (as defined).  At December 31, 2009, borrowings under the Senior Credit Facility bore interest at a weighted average annual interest rate of 5.8%, excluding the amortization of fees and expenses.

 

Pay-down of Debt and Termination of Interest Rate Swaps

 

In April 2010, we issued 3.7 million shares of our common stock in a public equity offering that raised $108 million in net proceeds and used $97 million of the proceeds to retire all of our outstanding debt.  We used another $2.7 million of the proceeds to terminate our interest rate swaps, including accrued interest.  In connection with our debt repayment

Table of Contents

 

we (i) wrote off $2.2 million of deferred loan fees to interest expense and (ii) reclassified $2.1 million of accumulated interest rate swap losses from accumulated other comprehensive loss (a balance sheet account) to interest expense.

 

We continue to have access to $30 million of revolving loans under the Senior Credit Facility and are currently seeking a larger revolving credit facility.  As of June 30, 2010, we had $0.7 million in unamortized deferred loan fees which will be recognized as expense over the remaining term of the revolver. We no longer are able to borrow funds under the term loans or acquisition loans as those facilities do not permit reborrowings.

 

Maturity Dates, Principal Payments, Covenants and Other Terms

 

The revolving loans mature in March 2013 and permit reborrowings, whereas the term loans and the acquisition loans do not.  The Senior Credit Facility provides for future acquisitions and contains financial covenants pertaining to (i) the maximum total leverage ratio, (ii) the minimum fixed charge coverage ratio, and (iii) maintaining a minimum net worth.  The Senior Credit Facility also contains a variety of restrictive covenants, such as limitations on borrowings and investments, and provides for customary events of default.  The Senior Credit Facility prohibits the payment of cash dividends and limits share repurchases to $2.5 million per year.  There are no restrictions on accumulated deficit or net income other than the declaration or payment of cash dividends.  Further, there are no restrictions in our Senior Credit Facility with respect to transfers of cash or other assets from our subsidiaries to us.  The Senior Credit Facility is guaranteed by all of our subsidiaries and is collateralized by a first priority lien on substantially all of our assets.  As of June 30, 2010, we were in compliance with all financial and restrictive covenants under the Senior Credit Facility.

 

Interest Rate Swaps

 

During 2009 and 2008, we entered into three interest rate swap agreements (“Swaps”) with an aggregate notional amount of $87.5 million with certain of our lenders which were designated and initially qualified as cash flow hedging instruments.  During the fourth quarter of 2009, one of our Swaps with a $30 million notional amount failed to satisfy all of the hedging criteria to qualify as a cash flow hedging instrument. The accumulated loss associated with this Swap ($0.2 million) was reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive loss (“AOCL”) and recognized as interest expense.  In April 2010 we terminated all our Swaps in connection with the repayment of all our outstanding debt.  The accumulated loss associated with the other two swaps ($2.1 million) was reclassified from AOCL and recognized as interest expense.

 

Borrowings under the Senior Credit Facility bear interest at variable rates.  Our objective of entering into the Swaps was to reduce the risk associated with these variable rates.  The Swaps, in effect, converted variable rates of interest into fixed rates of interest on the $87.5 million of borrowings we previously had outstanding under the Senior Credit Facility.  At each balance sheet date, the fair values of the Swaps were recorded on the balance sheet with the offsetting entry recorded in AOCL to the extent the hedges were highly effective.  Any ineffectiveness was recorded in the statement of income.  It is our policy to offset fair value amounts recognized for derivative instruments executed with the same counterparty under a master netting agreement.  At December 31, 2009, no such amounts were offset.

ended, respectively.  Unrecognized compensation costs related to unvested options was $9.5 million at June 30, 2010.  These costs are expected to be recognized over the weighted average remaining vesting period of 2.5 years.

 

7.  EARNINGS PER SHARE

 

Unvested share-based payment awards that contain nonforfeitable rights to dividends, such as our restricted stock, are considered participating securities for purposes of calculating earnings per share (“EPS”).  A portion of our net income is allocated to these participating securities and therefore is excluded from the calculation of EPS allocated to our common stock as shown in the table below.  EPS data for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 is as follows (in thousands, except per share amounts):

Item 2.     MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this Report.

 

Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

 

The SEC encourages companies to disclose forward-looking information so that investors can better understand a company’s future prospects and make informed investment decisions. Certain statements contained herein may be deemed to constitute “forward-looking statements.”

 

Words such as “may,” “anticipates,” “estimates,” “expects,” “projects,” “future,” “intends,” “will,” “plans,” “believes” and words and terms of similar substance used in connection with any discussion of future operating or financial performance, identify forward-looking statements.  All forward-looking statements are management’s present expectations of future events and are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those described in the forward-looking statements.  These risks and uncertainties include, among other things:

 

·                  our potential inability to further identify, develop and achieve commercial success for new products;

 

·                  the possibility of delays in product development;

 

·                  the development of competing distribution products;

 

·                  our ability to protect our proprietary technologies;

 

·                  patent-infringement claims;

 

·                  risks of new, changing and competitive technologies; and

 

·                  other factors discussed elsewhere herein and in our (i) Annual Report and / or (ii) the Prospectus Supplement to our Registration Statement filed with the SEC on April 8, 2010, under the heading “Risk Factors.”

 

In light of these assumptions, risks and uncertainties, the results and events discussed in the forward-looking statements contained herein might not occur.  You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this filing.  We are not under any obligation, and we expressly disclaim any obligation, to update or alter any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as may be required by applicable law.  All subsequent forward-looking statements attributable to management or to any person authorized to act on our behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements contained or referred to in this section.

 

Overview

 

We are a leading provider of digital technology services that enable the electronic delivery of advertisements, syndicated programs, and video news releases from advertising agencies and other content providers to traditional broadcasters, online publishers and other media outlets.  Our primary source of revenue is the delivery of television and radio advertisements, or spots, which are typically delivered digitally but sometimes physically.  We offer a digital alternative to the dub-and-ship delivery of spots.  We generally bill our services on a per transaction basis.  Our business can be impacted by several factors including general economic conditions, the financial stability of our customers, the overall advertising market, new emerging digital technologies, the increasing trend towards delivering high definition data files, and the continued transition from the traditional “dub and ship” delivery method to digital broadcast signal transmission.

 

Part of our business strategy is to acquire similar and/or ancillary businesses that will increase our market penetration and, in some cases, result in operating synergies. During the last three fiscal years we purchased five separate businesses involved in the distribution of media content.

 

Our business is seasonal as a large portion of our revenues follow the advertising patterns of our customers.  Revenues tend to be lowest in the first quarter, build throughout the year and are generally the highest in the fourth quarter.  Further, our revenues are affected by political advertising, which peaks every other year consistent with the national, state and local election cycles.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

 

The following discussion and analysis of the financial condition and results of operations are based on the unaudited consolidated financial statements and notes to unaudited consolidated financial statements contained in this Report that have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the SEC and do not include all the disclosures normally required in annual consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP.  The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, sales and expenses, and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities.  We base these estimates on historical results and various other assumptions believed to be reasonable, all of which form the basis for making estimates concerning the carrying values of our assets and liabilities that are not readily available from other sources.  Actual results may differ from these estimates.

 

Our significant accounting policies are described in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements presented in our Annual Report.  Our critical accounting policies are described in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in the Annual Report.  Our significant and critical accounting policies have not changed significantly since the filing of our Annual Report.  See also Recently Adopted and Recently Issued Accounting Guidance in Note 2 to our unaudited consolidated financial statements contained in this Report.

Revenues.      For the three months ended June 30, 2010, revenues increased $16.6 million, or 38%, as compared to the same period in the prior year.  The increases were $16.2 million and $0.4 million from the Video and Audio Content Distribution and Other segments, respectively.  The increase in the Video and Audio Content Distribution segment was primarily due to (i) an $11.9 million increase in high definition (“HD”) revenue ($23.9 million in 2010 vs. $12.0 million in 2009) driven by an increase in HD deliveries (ii) a $2.0 million increase in standard definition (“SD”) revenue driven by an increase in SD deliveries and (iii) a $1.5 million increase in Unicast revenue.  The Other segment revenues increased $0.4 million in the 2010 period as a result of more project based revenue from Springbox.

 

Cost of Revenues.      For the three months ended June 30, 2010, cost of revenues increased $1.0 million, or 6%, as compared to the same period in the prior year.   As a percentage of revenues, cost of revenues decreased to 30.5% in the current period as compared to 39.7% in the same period in the prior year.  A large portion of our cost structure is fixed.  Therefore, as revenues increase our gross profit margin tends to increase.  In addition, our costs were lower in the 2010 period as we eliminated duplicative infrastructure and personnel costs associated with the June 2008 acquisition of Vyvx (most of these costs were eliminated in the second quarter of 2009).

 

Sales and Marketing.      For the three months ended June 30, 2010, sales and marketing expense increased $0.2 million, or 6%, as compared to the same period in the prior year.   The increase was principally attributable to increases in personnel and marketing costs associated with the 38% increase in revenues.  As a percentage of revenues, sales and marketing expenses decreased to 5.8% in the current period as compared to 7.5% in the same period in the prior year.  Our revenues rose faster than our sales and marketing expenses.

 

Research and Development.      For the three months ended June 30, 2010, research and development costs increased $1.5 million, or 149%, as compared to the same period in the prior year.  The increase relates primarily to a shift in software development initiatives from capitalizable projects to projects which are expensed.

Table of Contents

 

General and Administrative.      For the three months ended June 30, 2010, general and administrative expense increased $2.6 million, or 41%, as compared to the same period in the prior year.  The increase was primarily attributable to higher professional and legal fees ($2.5 million) and increased incentive compensation ($1.1 million), partially offset by a reduction in bad debt expense, legal settlements and certain other expenses.

 

Depreciation and Amortization.      For the three months ended June 30, 2010, depreciation and amortization expense increased $0.8 million, or 12%, as compared to the same period in the prior year.  The increase was primarily attributable to increased depreciation associated with larger investments in capitalized software development projects and property and equipment.

 

Interest Expense.     For the three months ended June 30, 2010, interest expense increased $1.3 million, or 42%, as compared to the same period in the prior year.  The increase was due to (i) writing off $2.2 million of deferred loan fees and (ii) reclassifying $2.1 million of accumulated losses from accumulated other comprehensive loss to interest expense in connection with retiring all of our outstanding debt and terminating our interest rate swaps in April 2010.  The increase was partially offset by a reduction in the average amount of debt outstanding during the 2010 period.

 

Interest Income and Other, net.     For the three months ended June 30, 2010, interest income and other decreased $0.1 million as compared to the same period in the prior year.  The decrease was principally the result of a decrease in other expenses.

 

Provision for Income Taxes.     For the three months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, the provision for income taxes was 41.5% and 41.0%, respectively, of income before income taxes.  The provisions for both periods differ from the expected federal statutory rate of 35% as a result of foreign and state income taxes and certain non-deductible expenses.

Revenues.      For the six months ended June 30, 2010, revenues increased $29.4 million, or 34%, as compared to the same period in the prior year.  The increases were $29.0 million and $0.4 million from the Video and Audio Content Distribution and Other segments, respectively.  The increase in the Video and Audio Content Distribution segment was primarily due to (i) a $20.7 million increase in HD revenue ($43.6 million in 2010 vs. $22.9 million in 2009) driven by an increase in HD deliveries (ii) a $4.9 million increase in SD revenue driven by an increase in SD deliveries and (iii) a $2.8 million increase in Unicast revenue.  The Other segment revenues increased $0.4 million in 2010 period as a result of more project based revenue from Springbox.

 

Cost of Revenues.      For the six months ended June 30, 2010, cost of revenues increased $0.3 million, or 1%, as compared to the same period in the prior year.   As a percentage of revenues, cost of revenues decreased to 31.7% in the current period as compared to 42.4% in the same period in the prior year.  A large portion of our cost structure is fixed.  Therefore, as revenues increase our gross profit margin tends to increase.  In addition, in the 2010 period we eliminated duplicative infrastructure and personnel costs associated with the June 2008 acquisition of Vyvx (most of these costs were eliminated in the second quarter of 2009).

 

Sales and Marketing.      For the six months ended June 30, 2010, sales and marketing expense increased $0.7 million, or 12%, as compared to the same period in the prior year.   The increase was principally attributable to increases in personnel and marketing costs associated with the 34% increase in revenues.  As a percentage of revenues, sales and marketing expenses decreased to 5.7% in the current period as compared to 6.9% in the same period in the prior year.  Our revenues rose faster than our sales and marketing expenses.

 

Research and Development.      For the six months ended June 30, 2010, research and development costs increased $2.5 million, or 118%, as compared to the same period in the prior year.  The increase relates primarily to a shift in software development initiatives from capitalizable projects to projects which are expensed.

 

General and Administrative.      For the six months ended June 30, 2010, general and administrative expense increased $4.5 million, or 36%, as compared to the same period in the prior year.  The increase was primarily attributable to higher

professional and legal fees ($3.6 million) and increased incentive compensation ($1.7 million), partially offset by a reduction in bad debt expense and certain other expenses.

 

Depreciation and Amortization.      For the six months ended June 30, 2010, depreciation and amortization expense increased $1.7 million, or 14%, as compared to the same period in the prior year.  The increase was primarily attributable to increased depreciation associated with larger investments in capitalized software development projects and property and equipment.

 

Interest Expense.     For the six months ended June 30, 2010, interest expense decreased $0.7 million, or 9%, as compared to the same period in the prior year.  The decrease was due to a reduction in the average amount of debt outstanding during the 2010 period, partially offset by (i) writing off $2.2 million of deferred loan fees and (ii) reclassifying $2.1 million of accumulated losses from accumulated other comprehensive loss to interest expense in connection with retiring all of our outstanding debt and terminating our interest rate swaps in April 2010.

 

Interest Income and Other, net.     For the six months ended June 30, 2010, interest income and other decreased less than $0.1 million as compared to the same period in the prior year.  The decrease was principally the result of a decrease in other expenses.

 

Provision for Income Taxes.     For the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, the provision for income taxes was 41.5% and 41.0%, respectively, of income before income taxes.  The provisions for both periods differ from the expected federal statutory rate of 35% as a result of foreign and state income taxes and certain non-deductible expenses.

Cash and cash equivalents fluctuate with operating, investing and financing activities. In particular, cash and cash equivalents fluctuate with (i) operating results, (ii) the timing of payments, (iii) capital expenditures, (iv) acquisition and investment activity, (v) borrowings and repayments of debt, and (vi) capital activity.  The increase in cash and cash equivalents primarily relates to (i) cash generated from operating activities and (ii) cash raised in a public equity offering in excess of (iii) cash used to pay off all our debt.

 

Accounts receivable generally fluctuate with the level of revenues.  As revenues increase, accounts receivable tend to increase.  Days’ sales outstanding were 74 and 82 days at June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively.

 

Property and equipment tends to increase when we have significant improvements to our equipment, an expansion of our network (e.g., upgrading our spot boxes) or capitalized software development initiatives.  It also can increase as a result of acquisition activity.  Further, the balance of property and equipment is affected by recording depreciation expense.  For the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, purchases of property and equipment were $4.4 million and $2.2 million, respectively.  For the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, capitalized costs of developing software were $2.4 million and $4.0 million, respectively.

 

Goodwill and intangible assets decreased from December 31, 2009 as a result of amortizing certain intangible assets.

 

Accounts payable and accrued liabilities decreased $4.4 million during the six months ended June 30, 2010.  The decrease primarily relates to the timing of payments and the payments on capital lease obligations.

 

Debt decreased $102.5 million during the six months ended June 30, 2010 as a result of making a scheduled quarterly principal payment and using a portion of the proceeds from our April 2010 equity offering to retire all our outstanding debt.

 

Stockholders’ equity increased $136.2 million during the six months ended June 30, 2010.  The increase primarily relates to (i) receiving $107.9 million of net proceeds from our April 2010 equity offering, (ii) reporting net income of $17.0 million, (iii) the exercise of stock options and warrants of $7.7 million, and (iv) recording share-based compensation expense of $2.2 million.

We generate cash from operating activities principally from net income and from adding back certain non cash expenses such as (i) depreciation and amortization and (ii) deferred income taxes.  In the first six months of 2010, we generated $41.7 million in cash from operating activities as compared to $20.0 million in the same period of 2009.

 

Historically, we have invested our cash in (i) property and equipment, (ii) the development of software, (iii) strategic investments and (iv) the acquisition of complementary businesses.  During the last three fiscal years, we have acquired five businesses, two of which we first made a strategic investment before acquiring the entire business.

 

Cash is obtained from financing activities principally as a result of issuing debt and equity instruments.  We use cash in financing activities principally in the repayment of our debt.

 

Sources of Liquidity

 

Our sources of liquidity include:

 

·                  cash on hand,

 

·                  cash generated from operating activities,

 

·                  borrowings from our credit facility,

 

·                  borrowings from any new credit facility, and

 

·                  the issuance of equity securities.

 

As of June 30, 2010, we had $79.6 million of cash on hand.  Historically, we have generated significant amounts of cash from operating activities. We expect this trend will continue.

 

As of June 30, 2010, we had a credit facility (the “Senior Credit Facility”) with a group of lenders that allows us to borrow $30 million under a revolving loan feature.  All of the $30 million was available to us at June 30, 2010.  See a full description of the Senior Credit Facility in Note 5 of our unaudited consolidated financial statements.

 

22



Table of Contents

 

We also have the ability to issue equity instruments.  As of June 30, 2010, we had two effective shelf registration statements on file with the SEC for the issuance of (i) up to a total of 1.47 million shares of our common stock and (ii) up to $75 million of preferred stock.

 

In April 2010, we issued 3.65 million shares of our common stock under our shelf registration statement that resulted in us receiving approximately $108 million of net proceeds.  We used a portion of the proceeds to repay all of our outstanding debt.  We are also currently seeking a larger revolving credit facility.  See Note 5 of our unaudited consolidated financial statements.

 

We believe our sources of liquidity, including our cash on hand and cash generated from operating and financing activities, will satisfy our capital needs for the next 12 months.

 

Cash Requirements

 

We expect to use cash in connection with:

 

·                  the purchase of capital assets,

 

·                  the organic growth of our business, and

 

·                  the acquisition of similar and/or ancillary businesses.

 

During 2010, we expect we will:

 

·                  purchase property and equipment and incur capitalized software development costs ranging from $14 to $16 million.

 

We expect to use cash to further expand and develop our business. While we presently have no definitive plans, we may seek to acquire or merge with another company that we believe would be in the best interest of our shareholders.

 

Contractual Payment Obligations

 

Other than the repayment of our debt in April 2010, there have been no material changes to our contractual payment obligations since December 31, 2009.  Refer to our Annual Report for additional information regarding our contractual payment obligations.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

Other than our operating leases, we are not party to any off-balance sheet arrangement (as that term is defined in Item 303(a)(4)(ii) of Regulation S-K) that we believe is reasonably likely to have a material, current or future, effect on our financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.

 

Item 3.    QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

 

Market risk is the potential loss arising from adverse changes in market rates and prices, such as interest rates and changes in the market value of financial instruments.

 

Foreign Currency Exchange Risk

 

We provide limited services to entities located outside the United States and, therefore, believe the risk that changes in exchange rates will have a material adverse impact on our results of operations is remote.  Historically, our foreign currency exchange gains and losses have not been material.
