Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates include those related to allowance for doubtful accounts and billing adjustments, useful life of long-lived assets, useful life of intangible assets, impairment of goodwill, valuation of deferred tax assets, valuation of stock-based compensation, litigation accruals and estimated accruals for various tax exposures.

To the extent that the currencies of the Company’s production facilities located in the Philippines, India, Sri Lanka and Israel fluctuate, the Company is subject to risks of changing costs of production after pricing is established for certain client projects.

Income Taxes- Deferred taxes are determined based on the difference between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates, as well as any net operating loss or tax credit carryforwards expected to reduce taxes payable in future years. A valuation allowance is provided when it is more likely than not that all or some portion of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. While the Company considers future taxable income in assessing the need for the valuation allowance, in the event that the Company determines that it would be able to realize the deferred tax assets in the future in excess of its net recorded amount, an adjustment to the deferred tax assets would increase income in the period such determination was made. Similarly, in the event that the Company determines that it would not be able to realize the deferred tax assets in the future considering future taxable income, an adjustment to the deferred tax assets would decrease income in the period such determination was made. Changes in the valuation allowance from period to period are included in the Company’s tax provision in the period of change. The Company indefinitely reinvests the foreign earnings in its foreign subsidiaries. Unremitted earnings of foreign subsidiaries have been included in the condensed consolidated financial statements without giving effect to the United States taxes that may be payable on distribution to the United States, because such earnings are not anticipated to be remitted to the United States.

 

In assessing the realizationrealizability of deferred tax assets, management considered whether it is more likely than not that all or some portion of the U.S. and Canadian deferred tax assets will not be realizable. As the expectation of future taxable income resulting from the SynodexU.S. and Agility segmentsCanadian operations cannot be predicted with certainty, the Company maintains a valuation allowance against all the U.S. and Canadian deferred tax assets.

Leases -In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842),” as modified (ASU 2016-02), which replaced existing leasing rules with a comprehensive lease measurement and recognition standard and expanded disclosure requirements. ASU 2016-02 requires lessees to recognize most leases on their balance sheets as liabilities, with corresponding “right-of-use” assets and is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, subject to early adoption. The Company adopted ASU 2016-02 effective January 1, 2019. Upon adoption, the Company recognized a right-of-use asset and corresponding lease liability. Refer to Note 6, Operating Leases.

The determination of whether an arrangement is, or contains, a lease is based on the substance of the arrangement at the inception date and requires an assessment of whether the fulfillment of the arrangement is dependent on the use of a specific asset or assets or the arrangement conveys a right to use the asset. A reassessment is made after inception of the lease only if one of the following applies:

a.there is a change in contractual terms, other than a renewal or extension of the arrangement;
b.a renewal option is exercised, or extension granted, unless the term of the renewal or extension was initially included in the lease term;
c.there is a change in the determination of whether fulfillment is dependent on a specified asset; or
d.there is a substantial change to the asset.

Whenever a reassessment is made, lease accounting shall commence or cease from the date when the change in circumstances gave rise to the reassessment for scenarios (a), (c) or (d) and at the date of renewal or extension period for scenario (b)income (loss).

Leases where the lessor retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership are classified as operating leases. All of the Company’s leases are classified as operating leases. Operating lease payments are recognized as an operating expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

 

Deferred Revenue - Deferred revenue represents payments received from clients in advance of providing services and amounts deferred if conditions for revenue recognition have not been met. Included in accruedAccrued expenses and other on the accompanyingcondensed consolidated balance sheets includes $1.1 million of deferred revenue as of each of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In January 2016,December 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-01, “Financial Instruments – Overall (Subtopic 825-10)2019-12, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): RecognitionSimplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes” as part of its initiative to reduce complexity in the accounting standards. The standard eliminates certain exceptions related to the approach for intra-period tax allocation, the methodology for calculating income taxes in an interim period and Measurementthe recognition of Financial Assetsdeferred tax liabilities for outside basis differences. The standard also clarifies and Financial Liabilities” (ASU 2016-01), which updates certainsimplifies other aspects of recognition, measurement, presentationthe accounting for income taxes. The standard is effective for fiscal years, and disclosureinterim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2020. Early adoption is permitted. We do not expect that the adoption of financial instruments. The Company adopted this standard in the first quarter of 2019, and it did notnew guidance will have a material impact on the Company’s consolidatedour financial statements.

 

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASUAccounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2018-14, “Compensation-Retirement Benefits-Defined Benefit Plans-General:Plans-General (Subtopic 715-20): Disclosure Framework-Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Defined Benefit Plans” (ASU 2018-14), thatwhich makes minor changes to the disclosure requirements for employers that sponsor defined benefit pension and/or other postretirement benefit plans. The guidance eliminates requirements for certain disclosures that are no longer considered cost beneficial and adds new disclosure requirements that the FASB considers pertinent. ASU 2018-14 is effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2020 for public entities; early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the early adoption of ASU 2018-14 but does not expect itASU 2018-14 to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

 

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, “Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Statements” (ASU 2016-13). ASU 2016-13 requires a financial asset (or a group of financial assets) measured at amortized cost basis to be presented at the net amount expected to be collected. The allowance for credit losses is a valuation amount that is deducted from the amortized cost basis of the financial asset(s) to present the net carrying value at the amount expected to be collected on the financial asset. In November 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-19, “Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses,” which clarifies codification and corrects unintended application of the guidance, and in November 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-11, “Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses,” which clarifies or addresses specific issues about certain aspects of ASU 2016-13. In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-03, “Codification Improvements to Financial Instruments,” which modifies the measurement of expected credit losses of certain financial instruments. ASU 2016-13 is effective for certain Smaller Reporting Companies for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022 and interim periods within those fiscal years, which will be fiscal 2023 for us if we continue to be classified as a Smaller Reporting Company, with early adoption permitted. We do not expect that the adoption of the new guidance will have a material impact on our financial statements.

Correction of Immaterial Errors – During the preparation of the September 30, 2020 condensed consolidated financial statements, certain historical errors were identified relating to the accounting for capital leases under ASC Topics 840 and 842. The lease obligations under certain leases were not recorded at their present values at the inception of the leases; in addition, the asset buyout prices were not reassessed in December 2019 by the Company, both of which resulted in an understatement of expenses from 2017 to December 31, 2019 and an overstatement of expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2020.

Accordingly, the condensed consolidated financial statements and consolidated financial statements prior periods (March 31, 2020 and June 30, 2020) and year (December 31, 2019) consolidated financial statements will be revised in future Forms 10-Q and Form 10-K to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

2.Goodwill and Intangible Assets

The Company determined that adverse changes in macroeconomic trends as a consequence of the continuing COVID-19 pandemic constituted a triggering event under U.S. GAAP (Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) No. 350, “Intangibles - Goodwill and Other” and ASC No. 360, “Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets”). The Company completed its impairment analysis procedures as of March 31, 2020 and has updated its impairment analysis on its reporting units as of September 30, 2020. The Company determined that there was no impairment of long-lived assets, tangible or intangible, in any reporting units as of September 30, 2020.

 

The changes in the carrying amount of goodwill for the nine months ended September 30, 20192020 and 20182019 were as follows (in thousands):

 

Balance as of January 1, 2019 $2,050 
Foreign currency translation adjustment  12 
Balance as of September 30, 2019 $2,062 
     
Balance as of January 1, 2018 $2,832 
Foreign currency translation adjustment  (35)
Goodwill impairment  (675)
Balance as of September 30, 2018 $2,122 

As of September 30, 2018, the Company recorded a full goodwill impairment of $675,000 for its DDS segment.

The Company periodically analyzes whether any indicators of impairment have occurred. As part of these periodic analyses, the Company compares its estimated fair value, as determined based on its stock price, to its net book value. The continued decline in the Company’s stock price was viewed by the Company as a triggering event under ASU 2017-04, “Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Accounting for Goodwill Impairment”, (ASU 2017-04) which required an assessment for possible goodwill impairment as of June 30, 2018. Under the provisions of ASU 2017-04, which the Company opted to early adopt, goodwill impairment is recognized based on Step 1 of the current guidance, which calculates the carrying value in excess of the reporting unit’s fair value.

(Unaudited)

The Company performed this assessment as of June 30, 2018 and determined that the fair value of the Agility segment exceeded its carrying value, but the fair value of the DDS segment was below its carrying value. As a result, the Company recorded a full goodwill impairment of $675,000 for the DDS segment reporting unit as of June 30, 2018.

The Company performed its annual goodwill assessment for the Agility segment as of September 30, 2019. In performing the assessment, the Company adhered to the provisions of ASU 2017-04 by using a single step approach that determines the carrying value of goodwill and comparing it against the excess of the reporting unit’s fair value. Based on the Company’s assessment, the Company reached the conclusion that there was no goodwill impairment because the fair value of the Agility segment’s goodwill exceeded its carrying value. Therefore, there was no goodwill impairment recorded during the nine months ended September 30, 2019.

Balance as of January 1, 2019 $2,050 
Foreign currency translation adjustment  12 
Balance as of September 30, 2019 $2,062 
     
Balance as of January 1, 2020 $2,108 
Foreign currency translation adjustment  (39)
Balance as of September 30, 2020 $2,069 

 

The fair value measurement of goodwill was classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy because the Company used the income approach, which utilizes significant inputs that are unobservable in the market. The Company believes it made reasonable estimates and assumptions to calculate the fair value of the reporting unit as of the impairment test measurement date.

Tax Assessments

 

In September 2015, the Company’s Indian subsidiary was subject to an inquiry by the Service Tax Department in India regarding the classification of services provided by this subsidiary, asserting that the services provided by this subsidiary fall under the category of online information and database access or retrieval services (OID Services), and not under the category of business support services (BS Services) that are exempt from service tax as historically indicated in the subsidiary’s service tax filings. ManagementThe Company disagrees with the Service Tax Department’s positionposition. In November 2019, the Commissioner of Central Tax, GST & Central Excise issued an order confirming the Service Tax Department’s position. The Company is contesting this order in an appeal to the Customs, Excise and is vigorously contesting these assertions.Service Tax Appellate Tribunal. In the event the Service Tax Department is ultimately successful in proving that the services fall under the category of OID Services, the revenues earned by the Company’s Indian subsidiary for the period July 2012 through November 2016 would be subject to a service tax of between 12.36% and 15%., and this subsidiary may also be liable for interest and penalties. The revenue of our Indian subsidiary during this period was approximately $66.0 million. In accordance with new rules promulgated by the Service Tax Department, as of December 1, 2016 service tax is no longer applicable to OID or BS Services. Based on the assessment of the Company’s counsel, the Company has not recorded any tax liability for this case.

The appeal was determined in favor of the Service Tax Department. ManagementThe Company disagrees with the basis of this decision and is contesting it vigorously.it. The Company expects delays in its Indian subsidiary receiving further service tax refunds until this matter is adjudicated with finality, and currently has service tax credits of approximately $1.0 million recorded as a receivable.

Substantial recovery against the Company in the above referenced 2015 Service Tax Department case could have a material adverse impact on the Company, and unfavorable rulings or recoveries in other tax proceedings could have a material adverse impact on the consolidated operating results of the period (and subsequent periods) in which the rulings or recovery occurs.

4.4.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 $6.2$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 themthemselves 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.

While management currently believes that the ultimate outcome of these proceedings will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position or overall trends in consolidatedand 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 consolidatedfinancial position and operating results of the period in which the ruling or recovery occurs.Company. In addition, the Company’s estimate of the potential impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position or overall consolidatedand results of operations for the above referenced legal proceedings could change in the future.

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.

In addition, the Company elected to retrospectively determine the lease term and assess impairment of the right-of-use asset.

At the date of transition, the Company recognized an operating lease liability and right-of-use asset. The amount of lease liability is equal to the present value of the remaining lease payments as of January 1, 2019, discounted using the incremental borrowing rate of each respective country.

A right-of-use asset is measured as the amount of the lease liability adjusted for the amount of deferred straight-line rent, prepaid rent and lease incentive allowances previously recognized.

Correction of Immaterial Errors – During the preparation of the September 30, 2020 condensed consolidated financial statements, certain historical errors were identified relating to the accounting for capital leases under ASC Topics 840 and 842. The lease obligations under certain leases were not recorded at their present values at the inception of the leases; in addition, the asset buyout prices were not reassessed in December 2019 by the Company, both of which resulted in an understatement of expenses from 2017 to December 31, 2019 and an overstatement of expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2020.

The errors were not material, either quantitatively or qualitatively, in any of the reported periods. However, the corrections, if recorded in the three-month period ended September 30, 2020, would be material to such period. Accordingly, the prior period financial statements are being corrected by revising the prior period condensed consolidated financial statements for comparability. For the September 30, 2019 condensed consolidated financial statements and December 31, 2019 condensed consolidated balance sheet included in this Form 10-Q, the corrections are as follows:

·Increase in expenses of $8,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and $49,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. There was no impact on the loss per share for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2019.
·An increase in December 31, 2019 liabilities of $528,000.
·A decrease in December 31, 2019 retained earnings of $777,000.
·A decrease in December 31, 2019 total assets of $249,000.
·The impact on cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 was:
·A decrease in cash flows provided by operating activities of $38,000
·A decrease in cash flows used in investing activities of $79,000
·An increase in cash flows used in financing activities of $41,000

The Company evaluated each year’s/period’s errors under Staff Accounting Bulletins 99 and 108 and concluded that a restatement of year’s/prior periods’ consolidated financial statements is not required. Accordingly, the condensed consolidated financial statements and consolidated financial statements prior periods (March 31, 2020 and June 30, 2020) and year (December 31, 2019) consolidated financial statements will be revised in future Forms 10-Q and Form 10-K to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The September 2019 condensed consolidated financial statements and December 31, 2019 condensed consolidated balance sheet have been revised in this Form 10-Q.

Our core technology team spanning ten offices globally and a research and technology incubator, Innodata Labs, which focuses on appliedharnesses machine learning and emerging artificial intelligence. The Company is organizeddeep learning (branches of AI) to augment human expertise. Our hybrid approach of using AI in conjunction with human experts enables us to deliver superior data quality with even the most complex and operates in three different operating segments: the Digital Data Solutions (DDS) segment, the Synodex segment, and the Agility segment.

Our core services are (i) data acquisition, transformation, and enrichment at scale; (ii) digital operations management and analytics; and (iii) content applications. We report our core business as the DDS segment.

We also have venture businesses that leverage our core capabilities to provide specific industry solutions. In the Synodex segment, our Synodex venture business delivers a software-as-a-service (SaaS) platform and managed services for digital transformation of medical data. In our Agility segment, our Agility venture business delivers a SaaS platform and managed service for delivering news, information, and content to targeted journalists and influencers, as well as monitoring and analyzing coverage across traditional and social media sources.

Our Core Business (Digital Data Solutions (DDS) Segment)

We specialize in combiningdeep neural networks andhuman expertise in multiple domains (including health, science, and law) to make “unstructured information” (sometimes referred to as “content”) useable. For business information companies, “useable” means that the content can be sold via subscription to adigital product. For enterprises, “useable” means that the content can drivedigital process transformationandAI. We work with all classes of data, including sensitive and protected data.

 

We also develop digital productsprovide AI-augmented software-as-a-service (SaaS) platforms for business information companiescustomers who wish to perform their own data engineering tasks and digital systems which replace legacy systems and processes.

We continued to implement a strategy we initiated in 2017 focused on technology differentiation, increasingly taking an innovation-led approach to create value for clients while driving leaner, more cost-effective operations.

Our Approach: Deep Neural Networks and Experts-in-the-loop

Finding the right approach for mixing machines and experts-in-the-loop for each customer requirement is one of our core competencies. On the human side, we have over three thousand staff with deep domain expertise in legal, tax, regulatory, scientific, technical, and health-related content. Many hold advanced degrees. They work from our global operations centers in North and South America, Europe, Israel, India, Sri Lanka and the Philippines. Our operations centers in Asia are ISO 27001 certified. On the technology side, weniche, industry-specific data-intensive use deep learning, a sophisticated machine learning technique which is a branch of artificial intelligence that has enjoyed great success in real-world applications.cases.

 


In our approach, content is fed first into our deep learning machinesWe provide a range of solutions and platforms for solving complex data challenges that automate much of the work but distinguish between whatcompanies face when they can automatically process and what requires human intervention. Work that requires humans is “pushed” to human experts. Once human experts perform tasks, their output is then fed back to the machines, which, as a result, become “smarter” and achieve over time progressively greater levels of automation. (See “Our Technology and Infrastructure”, below.)

Our Customers

Our customers include leading digital businesses in banking and financial services, technology, and digital retailing and four of the largest information industry companies in the world, spanning financial, legal, healthcare and scientific vertical markets. Our customers often seek to use digital data in combination withobtain the benefits of AI to support their businesses or to digitally transform operations. Our information industry customers sell subscriptions to data products that require enhanced digital data.

Our Servicessystems and analytics platforms.

 

(i)Data Acquisition, Transformation, and Enrichment at ScaleAnnotation

 

In orderWe help our clients train AI models by annotating data at scale and at industry-leading levels of quality such as 99.995% accuracy with an error rate that does not exceed 50 per million. The quality of training data is critical for a client’s AI models to use content in an information product or inperform well. We annotate text, images, audio and video data for the most complex AI there are often significant obstacles that must be overcome: the contentmodels, including computer vision, sentiment analysis, entity linking, text categorization, and syntactic parsing/tagging.

Our image and video annotation services and platforms may be containedused to annotate, or label, objects, or people in multiple websites; itimages/video for facial recognition systems and automated object identification systems and in aerial/satellite imagery for autonomous driving/flying applications.

Our text annotation services and platforms may be used to convert raw text data into richly tagged, AI training data. We accommodate a wide range of input formats and taxonomies, and we perform a wide variety of complex tasks including entity annotation, relationship annotation, co-reference annotation, event annotation, multi-label annotation, and document labelling.

We provide image/video data annotation and text annotation as full solutions, in which we provide all required technology, infrastructure and expert resources. We will also provide image/video data annotation platforms and text annotation platforms for our clients to license for internal use.

We provide data annotation for a variety of complex requirements in healthcare, compliance, scientific, financial and legal markets.

(ii)Data Transformation

We provide AI-based data transformation solutions for high-accuracy data identification, aggregation, cleansing, augmentation and extraction. Our solutions utilize highly trained AI models and experts who custom train the models for our clients’ most complex and unique requirements.

Our data transformation platform enables data to be extracted from websites, as well as internal data stores; converted from disparate formats; and it may lackformats including PDF; enriched with the necessary semantics, metadata and metadata to make it product-linking; and classified in accordance with an ontology or AI-ready. We overcome these obstacles by combining advanced technology and human subject matter experts, enabling us to produce highly refined product- and AI-ready content efficiently and at scale.knowledge graph.

 

Acquiring unstructuredOur data often involves monitoring thousands of sourcestransformation solutions may be consumed via API, so that they can be utilized as infrastructure by clients with ongoing needs for such as websites in real-timeservices. We also provide a platform for new or changing content and then automatically extracting the changed content. One of the challenges with webclients to license for performing analytics on extracted data monitoring and extraction is that the HTML code underlying web pages often changes, causing programs and scripts to break. We overcome this by using enterprise-class tools for content change detection and extraction. These tools use both machine learning-based visual data abstraction combined with traditional programmatic approaches. With visual abstraction, the technology knows what the content “looks like” and recognizes when a data element moves from one spot on a Web page to another.points.

 

Digital data transformation can refer to a large number of very specific tasks necessary to create well-structured, valid XML, such as text zoning, editing, format tagging, format conversion, extraction, cross-reference capture, and linking.

(iii)Data Curation

 

DigitalFor clients that need to maintain mission-critical databases of structured data, enrichment often includes structural taggingor fuse separately-created databases into a single, unified, high-quality source of data that can be relied upon for a variety of corporate functions and products (often referred to as well as semantic enrichment such as entity tagginga “golden source” of data), we provide AI-based data curation solutions that include data collection across external and normalization. Data enrichment also includes text categorization - classifying content to systems that organize knowledge such as ontologiesinternal data sources, data hygiene, data consolidation, and knowledge graphs. This kind of enrichment enables powerful information retrieval and discovery and provides hooks for integration and interoperability.data compliance.

 


(ii)(iv)Digital Operations Management and AnalyticsIntelligent Automation

Enterprises are increasingly looking to re-invent business processes to take advantage of advancements in AI and machine learning, computing, and storage. Many seek easier ways to train, deploy, and leverage these advanced capabilities. For clients with critical business processes that involve documents, images, text, emails and other unstructured data, we deploy a range of technologies, including AI and robotic process automation (RPA), to eliminate repetitive tasks, automate where possible, speed up operations, and shift internal talent to creative and analytical work.

We provide digital operations management and analyticsintelligent automation for an increasing diversity of complex functions. At present, these include IP rights management, contract management, customer relations, data processing, regulatory reporting, publishing workflow management, publisherclient relationship management, regulatory change management, underwriting, and transactioncontent operations management. Our services draw on a combination of industry and functional expertise from our thousands of global delivery resources, many with advanced degrees, augmented by sophisticated machine learning and robotics process automation (RPA) technology.

Our digital operations management solutions often leverage our core competency in augmenting human expert effort with advanced technology and configuring the technology to continually improve as a result of expert feedback. In this way, we provide high-quality, cost-effective solutions for our customers that become increasingly automated, resulting in further cost and improvements in both productivity and response time.

Many of the operations we manage are mission-critical for our customers (as opposed to back-office) are unique, and have multiple contingencies and potential points of failure. To manage this complexity, we have developed methodologies and best practices around process management and risk mitigation, and we work with clients at a strategic business and technology level.

 

(iii)(v)Content ApplicationsIntelligent Data Platforms

 

We developbuild and maintain applications used in conjunctionmanage intelligent data platforms that address specific, niche market requirements with product- or AI-ready contentour data engineering technologies. We deploy these platforms as SaaS and as managed data solutions. To date, we create. Our content applications address knowledge representation, search/discovery,have built an intelligent data platform for medical records data transformation (which we brand as “Synodex”) and digital transformation of customer workflows. Our scope of services spans full-stack development, knowledge engineering, and integration support.

Our Technology and Infrastructurefor marketing communications/public relations workflow (which we brand as “Agility”).

 

Our deep learning technologies are built on frameworks such as TensorFlow and Torch that layer algorithms to create artificial neural networks that continuously learn on the job, constantly improving the quality and accuracy of results.

Our content processing application infrastructure consists of three integrated tiers. The first tier is anorchestration layer featuring a console we use to configure our workflow engines. Each workflow is customized around the content acquisition, transformation, and enrichment tasks required to transform a specific input into a specific output. This is where we oversee and manage AI, setting our accuracy thresholds and quality assurance parameters to decide when cognitive tasks that have been performed by machines are sent for human review.

The second tier of ourSynodex intelligent data processing application infrastructure is amicroservices layer of deep learning networks which perform discrete tasks automatically. Microservices are invoked by workflows via RESTful APIs. Our deep neural networks are trained to understand domain-specific terms and meaning and can be deployed to enforce privacy and maintain customer-proprietary learning. We have built domain-specific and task-specific microservices that perform deep sequence labelling, text categorization, and computer vision. The technology works by observing text patterns using algorithms and assigning labels based on these observed values.


For each cognitive decision, the machines provide a result together with a confidence score. A high confidence score means the machine is confident that it has performed accurately, and the content is ready to be deployed in an information product or for AI. A low confidence score means expert review is required.

Our third layer is human experts-in-the-loop. When an expert review is required, the human experts use tools we refer to as “workbenches” to apply their expertise to a task. The workbenches are integrated with the microservice endpoints in one of two ways. In one deployment, only low-confidence data is sent to workbenches for human review. In an alternative deployment, we send both high-confidence and low-confidence data back to the workbench, displaying the confidence level for each decision taken by the machine. In both of these deployments, human-reviewed work is retroactively fed back into the deep neural network, enabling it to get smarter. The result is continuous, predictable improvement and progressively greater levels of automation.

Our data storage and application hosting platform has been built utilizing an innovative enterprise infrastructure platform enabling robust performance scaling, strong security, high availability, and advanced business continuity. We support a range of strategies to suit our customers’ needs for data security, compliance, scalability and reliability. We can host data and applications in our own data centers at our production facilities or we can utilize third-party cloud services which provide the benefit of “infinite scalability” of hardware resources. When we are processing sensitive information for banks and insurance companies, we utilize U.S.-based, co-located data centers in combination with advanced data encryption (both at rest and in motion to the Advanced Encryption Standard 256 or similar standard) and desktop virtualization technologies, ensuring that data never leaves secured environments in the U.S. We employ a range of security features including monitored firewalls and intrusion detection devices. We can deploy on-premises, as well, and our machine learning microservices can be consumed via API.

We comply with the requirements of the United States Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 as amended (HIPAA) (including by the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Data (HITECH)) and the United Kingdom’s Data Protection Act 2018, as applicable. Innodata Inc. is certified to the EU-U.S. Privacy Shield framework, which certification includes Synodex and Agility as covered entities.

Our DDS segment includes our Innodata docGenix, LLC subsidiary (docGenix). As of September 30, 2019, Innodata Inc. owned 94% of docGenix.

Revenues under fixed-fee agreements, which are not significantPrior to the overall revenues, are recognized based onpandemic being declared, we prepared a Business Continuity Plan (BCP) for our 12 global delivery centers and offices. When COVID-19 was declared to be a pandemic, we triggered our BCP, enabling us to continue operations while safeguarding the proportional performance method of accounting, as services are performed, or milestones are achieved.

For the Synodex segment, revenue is recognized primarily based on the quantity delivered in the period in which services are performedhealth and performance conditions are satisfied as per the agreement. A portionwelfare of our Synodex segment revenue is derived from licensing our functional software and providing access to our hosted software platform. Revenue from such services is recognized monthly when all parties to the agreement have agreed to the agreement; each party’s rights are identifiable; the payment terms are identifiable; the agreement has commercial substance; access to the service is provided to the end user; and collection is probable.employees.

 


The Agility segment derives its revenue primarily from subscription arrangementsWhile the pandemic presented, and provision of enriched media analysis services. It also derives revenue as a reseller of corporate communication solutions. Revenue from subscriptions is recognized monthly when access to the service is provided to the end user; all parties to the agreement have agreed to the agreement; each party’s rights are identifiable; the payment terms are identifiable; the agreement has commercial substance; and collection is probable. Revenue from enriched media analysis services is recognized when the services are performed, and performance conditions are satisfied. Revenues from the reseller agreements, which are not significant to the overall revenues, are recognized at gross with our functioning as a principal due to our meeting the following criteria. We act as the primary obligormay in the sales transaction; assume the credit risk; set the price; can select suppliers; and are involved in the execution of the services, including after sales service.

Revenues include reimbursement of out-of-pocket expenses, with the corresponding out-of-pocket expenses included in direct operating costs.

We consider U.S. GAAP criteria for determining whetherfuture present, new risks to report revenue gross as a principal versus net as an agent.  Factors considered include whether we are the primary obligor, have risks and rewards of ownership, and bear the risk that a customer may not pay for the services performed.  If there are circumstances where the above criteria are not met and therefore, we are not the principal in providing services, amounts received from customers are presented net of payments in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

Contract acquisition cost for our Agility segment, which is included in prepaid expenses and other current assets, is amortized over the term of a subscription agreement that normally has a duration of 12 months or less. We review these costs on a periodic basis to determine the need to adjust the carrying values for pre-terminated contracts.

Direct Operating Costs

Direct operating costs consist of direct payroll, occupancy costs, data center hosting fees, content acquisition costs, depreciation and amortization, travel, telecommunications, computer services and supplies, realized gain (loss) on forward contracts, foreign currency revaluation gain (loss), and other direct expenses that are incurred in providing services to our clients.

Selling and Administrative Expenses

Selling and administrative expenses consist of management and administrative salaries, sales and marketing costs including commissions, new services research and related software development, third-party software, advertising and trade conferences, professional fees and consultant costs, and other administrative overhead costs.


Valuation of Goodwill and Intangible Assets

The Company performs valuations of assets acquired and liabilities assumed on each acquisition accounted for as a business combination and allocates the purchase price of each acquired business to its respective net tangible and intangible assets and liabilities. Acquired intangible assets principally consist of technology, customer relationships, backlog and trademarks. Liabilities related to intangibles principally consist of unfavorable vendor contracts. The Company determines the appropriate useful life by performing an analysis of expected cash flows based on projected financial information of the acquired businesses. Intangible assets are amortized over their estimated useful lives using the straight-line method, which approximates the pattern in which the majority of the economic benefits are expected to be consumed. Intangible assets are amortized into direct operating costs ratably over their expected related revenue streams over their useful lives.

Goodwill represents the excess of the cost of an acquired entity over the fair value of the acquired net assets. The Company does not amortize goodwill but evaluates it for impairment at the reporting unit level annually during the third quarter of each fiscal year (as of September 30 of that quarter) or when an event occurs, or circumstances change, that indicates the carrying value may not be recoverable. In 2018, the Company adopted ASU No. 2017-04, “Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Accounting for Goodwill Impairment”. Under the newly adopted guidance, the optional qualitative assessment, referred to as “Step 0”, and the first step of the quantitative assessment (“Step 1”) remained unchanged versus the prior guidance. However, the requirement to complete the second step (“Step 2”), which involved determining the implied fair value of goodwill and comparing it to the carrying value of that goodwill to measure the impairment loss, was eliminated. As a result, Step 1 will be used to determine both the existence and amount of goodwill impairment. An impairment loss will be recognized for the amount by which the reporting unit’s carrying amount exceeds its fair value, not to exceed the carrying value of goodwill in that reporting unit.

Adjusted EBITDA

In addition to measures of financial performance presented in our consolidated financial statements, we monitor “Adjusted EBITDA” to help us evaluate our ongoing operating performance including our ability to operate the business effectively.

We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) attributable to Innodata Inc. and its subsidiaries in accordance with U.S. GAAP before income taxes, depreciation and amortization of intangible assets, impairment charges, stock-based compensation, loss attributable to non-controlling interests and interest income (expense).

We believe Adjusted EBITDA is useful to our management and investors in evaluating our operating performance and for financial and operational decision-making purposes. In particular, Adjusted EBITDA facilitates period-to-period comparisons of our operating results on a consistent basis by excluding items that are not reflective of our core operations or are not within our control and helps us identify underlying trends in our business. In this regard, we believe it provides useful information about our operating results, enhances the overall understanding of our past performance and future prospects and allows for greater transparency with respect to key metrics used by the management in our financial and operational decision-making. We also use this measure to establish operational goals for managing our business and evaluating our performance. 


Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as an analytical toolthere have been logistical and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for results reported under U.S. GAAP. Some of these limitations are:

·Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect tax payments, and such payments reflect a reduction in cash available to us;
·Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs and for our cash expenditures or future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments;
·Adjusted EBITDA excludes the potential dilutive impact of stock-based compensation expense related to our workforce, interest income (expense) and net loss attributable to non-controlling interests, and these items may represent a reduction or increase in cash available to us;
·Although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized may have to be replaced in the future, and Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect cash capital expenditure requirements for such replacements or for new capital expenditure requirements; and
·Other companies, including companies in our own industry, may calculate Adjusted EBITDA differently from our calculation, limiting its usefulness as a comparative measure.

Adjusted EBITDA should be considered as a supplement to, and not as a substitute for or superior to, U.S. GAAP net income (loss).

The following tables reconcile net income (loss) to Adjusted EBITDA (loss) for the periods presented (in thousands):

Results of Operations

Three Months Ended September 30, 2019 and 2018

Revenues

Total revenues were $13.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019 compared to $14.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018, a decrease of approximately $0.2 million or 1%.

Revenues from the DDS segment were $10.1 million and $10.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, a decrease of approximately $0.7 million or 6%. The decrease is attributable to lower volume from three clients.

Revenues from the Synodex segment were $1.0 million for each of the three-month periods ended September 30, 2019 and 2018.

Revenues from the Agility segment were $2.7 million and $2.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, an increase of $0.4 million or approximately 17%. The increase is attributable to higher revenues from subscriptions to our Agility media database.

Two clients in the DDS segment together generated approximately 25% of the Company’s total revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 29% of the Company’s total revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2018. No other client accounted for 10% or more of total revenues during these periods.

Direct operating costs for the DDS segment were approximately $6.5 million and $6.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, a decrease of $0.4 million or 6%.  The decrease is due to a reduction in direct operating costs of $0.6 million as part of our continuing cost rationalization initiatives, offset in part by foreign exchange transaction losses of $0.2 million. The reduction of $0.6 million is primarily a result of lower compensation related costs of $0.3 million, lower occupancy costs and related depreciation of $0.2 million, and lower other facility related costs of $0.1 million. Direct operating costs for the DDS segment as a percentage of DDS segment revenues were 64% for each of the three-month periods ended September 30, 2019 and 2018.

Direct operating costs for the Synodex segment were $0.8 million for each of the three-month periods ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, net of intersegment profits. Direct operating costs for the Synodex segment as a percentage of revenues were 85% and 80% for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Direct operating costs as a percentage of revenues increased in the third quarter of 2019 primarily due to lower revenue from one client.

Direct operating costs for the Agility segment were $1.7 million and $1.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The $0.2 million increase is primarily a result of expenditures in support of increased revenues. Direct operating costs for the Agility segment as a percentage of Agility segment revenues were 63% and 70% for the three-month periods ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

Selling and Administrative Expenses

Selling and administrative expenses were $5.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019, compared to $3.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018, an increase of $1.3 million or approximately 35%. This increase is a result of investments in strategic initiatives designed to expand our addressable market. Innodata has made prescient, early investments in machine learning and artificial intelligence and is now positioned to turn these into new products and services. Selling and administrative expenses as a percentage of total revenues were 36% for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 26% for the three months ended September 30, 2018. 

Selling and administrative expenses for the DDS segment were $3.3 million and $2.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, an increase of $1.1 million or 50%. This increase is a result of investments in strategic initiatives designed to expand our addressable market. The savings realized from our cost rationalization initiatives were channeled into our strategic initiatives. The increase in selling and administrative expenses for the DDS segment were primarily due to higher compensation related costs of $0.9 million and recruitment and professional fees of approximately $0.2 million. As a percentage of DDS revenues, DDS selling and administrative expenses were 33% for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 20% for the three months ended September 30, 2018. The increase in selling and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenues is due to lower revenues combined with increased selling and administrative expenses.


Selling and administrative expenses for the Synodex segment were $0.2 million and $0.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The increase is attributable to higher professional fees incurred for the period. Selling and administrative expenses for the Synodex segment as a percentage of Synodex segment revenues were 20% for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 10% for the three months ended September 30, 2018.

Selling and administrative expenses for the Agility segment were $1.5 million and $1.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The increase is primarily due to additional provisions for doubtful accounts and higher marketing costs in support of sales initiatives. Selling and administrative expenses for the Agility segment as a percentage of Agility segment revenues were 56% for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 61% for the three months ended September 30, 2018.

Goodwill Impairment

We performed our annual goodwill assessment for the Agility segment as of September 30, 2019. In performing the assessment, we adhered to the provisions of ASU 2017-04, by using a single step approach that determines the carrying value of goodwill and comparing it against the excess of the reporting unit’s fair value. Based on our assessment, we reached the conclusion thatchallenges, there was no goodwill impairment because the fair valuematerial adverse impact on our results of the Agility segment’s goodwill exceeded its carrying value. Therefore, there was no goodwill impairment recorded during the three months ended September 30, 2019.

Income Taxes

We recorded a provision for income taxes of $0.4 million and $0.5 millionoperations for the three months ended September 30, 2019quarter and 2018, respectively. The $0.1 million decrease is primarily due to a lower tax provision by our foreign subsidiaries attributable to foreign exchange gains in the three months ended September 30, 2018.

Taxes primarily consist of a provision for foreign taxes recorded in accordance with the local tax regulations by our foreign subsidiaries. Effective income tax rates are disproportionate due to the losses incurred by our U.S. entity and our Canadian subsidiaries and a valuation allowance recorded on deferred taxes on these entities and tax effects of foreign operations, including foreign exchange gains and losses.

Net Loss

We incurred a net loss of $0.6 million during the three months ended September 30, 2019, compared to a net income of $0.7 million during the three months ended September 30, 2018.

Net loss for the DDS segment was $0.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019, compared to net income of $1.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018, net of intersegment profits. The decrease in net income of $1.3 million is attributable to lower revenues of $0.6 million and higher operating expenses of $0.7 million in the period.


The Synodex segment was breakeven for the three months ended September 30, 2019, compared to a net income of $0.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018, net of intersegment profits. The decrease is due to revenue timing from one client.

Net loss for the Agility segment was $0.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019, compared to $0.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018, net of intersegment profits. The decrease in net loss is due to higher revenues offset by an increase in operating costs.

Adjusted EBITDA

Adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended September 30, 2019 was $0.9 million, compared to $2.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018.

Adjusted EBITDA for the DDS segment was $0.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019, compared to $2.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018, a decrease of $1.5 million or 64%. The decrease is primarily attributable to the $1.3 million lower income and $0.2 million lower depreciation and amortization in the three months ended September 30, 2019.

Adjusted EBITDA for the Synodex segment was breakeven for the three months ended September 30, 2019, compared to $0.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018, a decrease of $0.1 million. The decrease is due to revenue timing from one client.

Adjusted EBITDA for the Agility segment was breakeven for the three months ended September 30, 2019, compared to a loss of $0.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018. The improvement is a result of a lower loss incurred for the period.

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2019 and 2018

Revenues

Total revenues were $41.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 compared to $42.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018, a decrease of $1.2 million or 3%.

Revenues from the DDS segment were $30.4 million and $32 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, a decrease of approximately $1.6 million or 5%. The decrease in revenues is primarily attributable to lower volume from one client.

Revenues from the Synodex segment were $2.9 million and $3.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, a decrease of $0.1 million or 3%. This decrease is primarily due to lower volume from one client.


Revenues from the Agility segment were $7.9 million and $7.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, an increase of $0.5 million or approximately 7%. The increase is attributable to higher revenues from subscriptions to our Agility media database.

Two clients in the DDS segment together generated approximately 26% of the Company’s total revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 30% of the Company’s total revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. No other client accounted for 10% or more of total revenues during these periods.

Direct Operating Costs

Direct operating costs were $28.2 million and $29.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, a decrease of $0.9 million or 3%. Direct operating costs as a percentage of total revenues were 68% and 69% for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

Direct operating costs for the DDS segment were approximately $20.8 million and $22.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, a decrease of $1.3 million or 6%.  The decrease is due to a reduction in direct operating costs of $2.4 million as part of our continuing cost rationalization initiatives offset in part by foreign exchange transaction losses of $0.7 million and a one-time charge of $0.4 million for an assessment of retroactive foreign social security contributions as a result of a decision by the Supreme Court of India that affects companies generally. The reduction of $2.4 million is primarily a result of lower compensation related costs of $1.2 million, lower occupancy costs and related depreciation of $0.7 million, and lower other facility related costs of $0.5 million. Direct operating costs for the DDS segment as a percentage of DDS segment revenues were 68% and 69% for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

Direct operating costs for the Synodex segment were $2.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and $2.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018, net of intersegment profits. The increase is due to the cost of hardware and software upgrades expensed during the year. Direct operating costs for the Synodex segment as a percentage of Synodex segment revenues were 83% and 77% for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The increase in direct operating costs as a percentage of revenues in the nine months ended September 30, 2019 is primarily due to lower revenue from one client combined with the higher cost of hardware and software upgrades, expensed during the year.

Direct operating costs for the Agility segment were $5.0 million and $4.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The $0.3 million increase is primarily a result of expenditures in support of increased revenues. Direct operating costs for the Agility segment as a percentage of Agility segment revenues were 63% and 64% for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively.  The increase is due to higher content related costs.


Selling and Administrative Expenses

Selling and administrative expenses were $14.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, compared to $11.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018, an increase of $3.0 million or 27%. This increase is a result of investments in strategic initiatives designed to expand our addressable market. Selling and administrative expenses as a percentage of total revenues increased to 34% for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 from 26% for the nine months ended September 30, 2018.

Selling and administrative expenses for the DDS segment were $9.2 million and $6.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, an increase of $2.6 million or 39%. This increase is a result of investments in strategic initiatives designed to expand our addressable market. The savings realized from our cost rationalization initiatives were channeled into our strategic initiatives. The increase in selling and administrative expenses for the DDS segment were primarily due to higher compensation related costs of $1.8 million, recruitment and professional fees of $0.6 million, and other selling and marketing costs of $0.2 million. As a percentage of DDS revenues, DDS selling and administrative expenses were 30% and 21% for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The increase in selling and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenues is due to lower revenues combined with increased selling and administrative expenses.

Selling and administrative expenses for the Synodex segment were $0.5 million for each of the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2019 and 2018. Selling and administrative expenses for the Synodex segment as a percentage of Synodex segment revenues were 17% for each of the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2019 and 2018.

Selling and administrative expenses for the Agility segment were $4.5 million and $4.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The $0.3 million increase is primarily due to compensation related expenses, additional provisions for doubtful accounts and higher marketing costs in support of sales initiatives. Selling and administrative expenses for the Agility segment as a percentage of Agility segment revenues were 57% and 55% for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

Goodwill Impairment

We performed our annual goodwill assessment for the Agility segment as of September 30, 2019. In performing the assessment, we adhered to the provisions of ASU 2017-04, by using a single step approach that determines the carrying value of goodwill and comparing it against the excess of the reporting unit’s fair value. Based on our assessment, we reached the conclusion that there was no goodwill impairment because the fair value of the Agility segment’s goodwill exceeded its carrying value. Therefore, there was no goodwill impairment recorded during the nine months ended September 30, 2019.2020.

 

The Company performed an assessment assituation surrounding the COVID-19 crisis remains fluid and the extent and duration of June 30, 2018 and determined that the fair value of the Agility segment exceeded its carrying value, but the fair value of the DDS segment was below its carrying value. As a result, the Company recorded a full goodwill impairment of $675,000 for the DDS segment reporting unit during the nine months ended September 30, 2018.


Income Taxes

We recorded a provision for income taxes of $0.5 million and $1.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The $1.0 million decrease is primarily due to a higher tax provision by our foreign subsidiaries attributable to foreign exchange gains in the nine months ended September 30, 2018.

Taxes primarily consist of a provision for foreign taxes recorded in accordance with the local tax regulations by our foreign subsidiaries. Effective income tax rates are disproportionate dueimpact to the losses incurred by our U.S. entity and our Canadian subsidiaries and a valuation allowance recorded on deferred taxes on these entities. Someeconomy remains unclear. For this reason, we cannot reasonably estimate with any degree of our foreign subsidiaries are subject to tax holidays or preferential tax rates, which reduce our overall effective tax rate when compared tocertainty the U.S. statutory tax rate.

The reconciliation of the U.S. statutory rate with the Company’s effective tax rate for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2019 is summarized in the table below:

September 30, 2019
Federal income tax benefit at statutory rate21.0%

As of September 30, 2019, we performed a calculation of the GILTI provisions and concludedfuture impact that it continues tomay have noon our results of operations and financial condition. The potential for a material impact on accountour results of operations and financial position increases the net losseslonger the virus affects the level of our foreign subsidiaries.

Despite access to overseas earnings and the resulting toll charge, we intend to indefinitely reinvest foreign earnings in our foreign subsidiaries on account of the foreign jurisdiction withholding taxes that we would have to incur on the actual remittances. Unremitted earnings of foreign subsidiaries amounted to approximately $18.5 million at September 30, 2019. If such earnings are repatriated in the future, or are no longer deemed to be indefinitely reinvested, we would have to accrue the applicable amount of foreign jurisdiction withholding taxes associated with such remittances.


We have a valuation allowance on all of our U.S. deferred tax assets on account of continuing losses incurred by our U.S. entity. In addition, we also have a valuation allowance on the deferred tax assets of our Canadian subsidiaries. Our Canadian subsidiaries also have research and development expenditures available to reduce taxable income in future years, which may be carried forward indefinitely. The potential benefits from these balances have not been recognized for financial statement purposes.

The Company is subject to Federal income tax, as well as income tax in various states and foreign jurisdictions. The Company has open periods for U.S. Federal and state taxes from 2016 through 2019. Various foreign subsidiaries currently have open tax years from 2003 through 2018. Refer to Item 1, Note 3 for more information about Tax Assessments.

Net Loss

We incurred a net loss of $1.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, compared to a net loss of $46,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2018.

The net loss for the DDS segment was $0.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, compared to a net income of $1.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018, net of intersegment profits.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Selected measures of liquidity and capital resources, expressed in thousands, are as follows:

  September 30, 2019  December 31, 2018 
Cash and cash equivalents $13,188  $10,869 
Working capital  10,678   12,981 

At September 30, 2019, we had cash and cash equivalents of $13.2 million, of which $5.9 million was held by our foreign subsidiaries, and the $7.3 million balance was heldeconomic activity in the United States. Based on our calculations, as a result of the one-time transition tax on the deemed repatriation of post-1986 undistributed foreign subsidiary earningsStates and profits, we will not have any liability for taxes with respect to repatriated foreign earnings under Internal Revenue Service Regulation 956 until our cumulative exposure for unrepatriated foreign earnings reaches a threshold of $25.8 million. Although we do not currently intend to repatriate amounts held by foreign subsidiaries, we could if needed repatriate these amounts less up to 21% in withholding taxes of foreign jurisdictions.globally.

 

WeWith the current level of demand for our services, we believe we have used, and plan to use, our cash and cash equivalents for (i) investments in the Agility segment; (ii) the expansion of our other operations; (iii) technology innovations; (iv) product management and strategic marketing; (v) general corporate purposes, including working capital; and (vi) possible business acquisitions. As of September 30, 2019, we had working capital of approximately $10.7 million, as compared to working capital of approximately $13.0 million as of December 31, 2018.

We did not have any material commitments for capital expenditures as of September 30, 2019. In October 2019, we re-purchased 390,625 shares of our common stock in a privately negotiated transaction at $1.28 per share, for a total cost of $500,000.

We believe that our existing cash and cash equivalents and internally generated funds willthat provide sufficient sources of liquidity to satisfy our financial needs for the next 12 months. However,months from the date of the filing of this Report (refer to Item 2. “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Liquidity and Capital Resources” for additional information). In the event we experience a significant or prolonged reduction in revenues, the likelihood of which is uncertain, we would seek to manage our liquidity by reducing capital expenditures, deferring investment activities, and reducing operating costs as we would likely have no debt facilities or linesother sources of credit, and reductionsliquidity to support ongoing operations in our cash and cash equivalents from operating losses, capital expenditures, adverse legal decisions, acquisitions or otherwise would materially and adversely affecta manner that is not significantly detrimental to the Company.business.

 

Cash FlowsWe determined that adverse changes in macroeconomic trends as a consequence of the continuing COVID-19 pandemic constituted a triggering event under U.S. GAAP (Accounting Standards Codification No. 350, “Intangibles-Goodwill and Other” and Accounting Standards Codification No. 360, “Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets”). We completed our impairment analysis procedures as of March 31, 2020 and have updated our impairment analysis on our reporting units as of September 30, 2020. We have determined that there was no impairment of long-lived assets, tangible nor intangible, in any reporting units as of September 30, 2020.

 

Net Cash Provided by Operating ActivitiesInflation

 

Cash provided by our operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 was $4.9 million primarily on account of the $2.5 million decrease in our accounts receivable, a $0.8 million decrease in prepaid and other current assets, a $0.7 million decrease in in income and other taxes and a $0.1 million increase in other working capital. This favorable result was reduced by our net loss of $1.7 million in the period. The reduction in accounts receivable is a result of improvements in our collections during the period. Refer to the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for further details.


Our days’ sales outstanding (DSO) were 62 days for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 66 days for the year ended December 31, 2018. We calculate DSO for a reported period by first dividing the total revenues for the period by the average net accounts receivable for the period (which is the sum of the net accounts receivable at the beginning of the period and the net accounts receivable at the end of the period, divided by two), to yield an amount we refer to as the “accounts receivable turnover.” Then we divide the total number of days within the reported period by the accounts receivable turnover to yield DSO expressed in number of days.

Net Cash Used in Investing Activities

For the nine months ended September 30, 2019, cash used in our investing activities was $1.4 million. These expenditures principally consisted of purchases of technology equipment including servers, network infrastructure and workstations.

During the next 12 months, we anticipate that capital expenditures for ongoing technology, equipment and infrastructure upgrades will approximate $2.0 million to $2.3 million. The source of funds for the anticipated capital expenditures will be cash generated from our operations.

Net Cash Used in Financing Activities

For the nine months ended September 30, 2019, cash used in financing activities was for payments of long-term obligations of $0.9 million and repurchasing of 34,150 shares of our common stock at a cost of approximately $44,000 at a volume-weighted average price of $1.29 per share. The repurchase was made under the 2019 authorization approved by the Board of Directors.

Inflation, Seasonality and Prevailing Economic Conditions

Our most significant costs are the salaries and related benefits of our employees in Asia. We are exposed to higherhigh inflation in wage rates in the countries in which we operate. We generally perform work for our clients under project-specific contracts, requirements-based contracts or long-term contracts. We must adequately anticipate wage increases, particularly on our fixed-price contracts. There can be no assurance that we will be able to recover cost increases through increases in the prices that we charge for our services to our clients.

Seasonality

 

Our quarterly operating results are subject to certain fluctuations. We experience fluctuations in our revenue and earnings as we replace and begin new projects, which may have some normal start-up delays, or we may be unable to replace a project entirely. These and other factors may contribute to fluctuations in our operating results from quarter to quarter. In addition, as some of our Asian facilities are closed during holidays in the fourth quarter, we typically incur higher wages, due to overtime, that reduce our margins.

 


Our Synodex subsidiary experiences seasonal fluctuations in revenues. Typically, revenue is lowest in the third quarter of the calendar year and highest in the fourth quarter of the calendar year. The seasonality is directly linked to the number of life insurance applications received by the insurance companies.

 

For further information refer to the risk factor titled “Quarterly fluctuations in our revenues and results of operations could make financial forecasting difficult and could negatively affect our stock price.” in Part I, Item 1A. “Risk Factors” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Selected measures of liquidity and capital resources, expressed in thousands, were as follows:

  September 30, 2020  December 31, 2019 
Cash and cash equivalents $15,336  $10,874 
Working capital  9,045   8,250 

On September 30, 2020, we had cash and cash equivalents of $15.3 million, of which $7.5 million was held by our foreign subsidiaries, and $7.8 million was held in the United States. Despite our ability under existing tax law to repatriate funds from overseas after paying the toll charge, it is our intent as of September 30, 2020, to permanently reinvest the overseas funds in our foreign subsidiaries on account of the withholding tax that we would have to incur on the actual remittances and the working capital need of foreign subsidiaries.

We have used, and plan to use, our cash and cash equivalents for (i) investments in the Agility segment; (ii) the expansion of our other operations; (iii) technology innovation; (iv) product management and strategic marketing; (v) general corporate purposes, including working capital; and (vi) possible business acquisitions. As of September 30, 2020, we had working capital of approximately $ 9.0 million, as compared to working capital of approximately $8.3 million as of December 31, 2019.


We believe that our existing cash and cash equivalents and internally generated funds will provide sufficient sources of liquidity to satisfy our financial needs for the next 12 months from the date of issuance of these financial statements. However, we have no bank facilities or lines of credit. Reductions in our cash and cash equivalents from operating losses, capital expenditures, adverse legal decisions, acquisitions or otherwise could materially and adversely affect the Company.

On May 4, 2020, we received loan proceeds of $579,700 under the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP), which was established as part of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act. The loans and accrued interest are forgivable, as long as the borrower uses the loan proceeds for eligible purposes, including payroll, benefits, rent and utilities, and maintains its payroll levels. The unforgiven portion of the loan is payable over two years at an interest rate of 1% per year, with a deferral of payments until the date that the Small Business Administration remits the borrower’s loan forgiveness amount to the lender

Refer to the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for further details.

Our days’ sales outstanding (DSO) were 59 days for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 66 days for the year ended December 31, 2019. We calculate DSO for a reported period by first dividing the total revenues for the period by the average net accounts receivable for the period (which is the sum of the net accounts receivable at the beginning of the period and the net accounts receivable at the end of the period, divided by two), to yield an amount we refer to as the “accounts receivable turnover”. Then we divide the total number of days within the reported period by the accounts receivable turnover to yield DSO expressed in number of days.

Net Cash Used in Investing Activities

For the nine months ended September 30, 2020, cash used in our investing activities was $1.1 million. These expenditures principally consisted of purchases to augment our network infrastructure in relation to our BCP initiatives in response to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2019, cash used in our investing activities was $1.3 million. These expenditures principally consisted of purchases of technology equipment including servers, network infrastructure and workstations.


During the next 12 months, we anticipate that capital expenditures for ongoing technology, equipment and infrastructure upgrades will approximate $2.0 million to $2.3 million, respectively.

The source of funds for the anticipated capital expenditures will be cash generated from our operations.

Net Cash Provided by and Used in Financing Activities

Cash provided by financing activities was from the proceeds of the PPP Loan received amounting to $0.6 million and proceeds from stock option exercises of $0.2 million. Cash used in financing activities was for payments of long-term obligations of $0.8 million and $0.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and September 30, 2019, respectively.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

 

Our discussion and analysis of our results of operations, liquidity and capital resources is based on our condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.U.S. GAAP. The preparation of thesethe condensed consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates and judgments, including those related to revenue recognition, allowance for doubtful accounts and billing adjustments, long-lived assets, intangible assets, goodwill, valuation of deferred tax assets, value of securities underlying stock-based compensation, litigation accruals, pension benefits, purchase price allocation of Agility, valuation of derivative instruments and estimated accruals for various tax exposures. We base our estimates on historical and anticipated results and trends and on various other assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, including assumptions as to future events. These estimates form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. By their nature, estimates are subject to an inherent degree of uncertainty. Actual results may differ from our estimates and could have a significant adverse effect on our consolidated results of operations and financial position. We believe the following critical accounting policies affect our more significant estimates and judgments in the preparation of our condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

The significant accounting policies used in preparing these condensed consolidated financial statements are the same as those described in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, unless otherwise noted.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In January 2016,December 2019, the FinancialFASB issued ASU 2019-12, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2016-01, “Financial Instruments – Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognitionfor Income Taxes” as part of its initiative to reduce complexity in the accounting standards. The standard eliminates certain exceptions related to the approach for intra-period tax allocation, the methodology for calculating income taxes in an interim period and Measurementthe recognition of Financial Assetsdeferred tax liabilities for outside basis differences. The standard also clarifies and Financial Liabilities” (ASU 2016-01), which updates certainsimplifies other aspects of recognition, measurement, presentationthe accounting for income taxes. The standard is effective for fiscal years, and disclosureinterim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2020. Early adoption is permitted. We do not expect that the adoption of financial instruments. The Company adopted this standard in the first quarter of 2019, and it did notnew guidance will have a materialsignificant impact on the Company’s consolidatedour financial statements.

 


In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU(ASU) No. 2018-14, “Compensation-Retirement Benefits-Defined Benefits Plans-General:Benefit Plans-General (Subtopic 715-20): Disclosure Framework-Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Defined Benefit Plans” (ASU 2018-14), thatwhich makes minor changes to the disclosure requirements for employers that sponsor defined benefit pension and/or other postretirement benefit plans. The guidance eliminates requirements for certain disclosures that are no longer considered cost beneficial and adds new disclosure requirements that the FASB considers pertinent. ASU 2018-14 is effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2020 for public entities; early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the early adoption ofThe Company does not expect ASU 2018-14 but do not expect it to have a material impact toon the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

 


In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, “Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Statements” (ASU 2016-13). ASU 2016-13 requires a financial asset (or a group of financial assets) measured at amortized cost basis to be presented at the net amount expected to be collected. The allowance for credit losses is a valuation amount that is deducted from the amortized cost basis of the financial asset(s) to present the net carrying value at the amount expected to be collected on the financial asset. In November 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-19, “Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses,” which clarifies codification and corrects unintended application of the guidance, and in November 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-11, “Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses,” which clarifies or addresses specific issues about certain aspects of ASU 2016-13. In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-03, “Codification Improvements to Financial Instruments,” which modifies the measurement of expected credit losses of certain financial instruments. ASU 2016-13 is effective for certain Smaller Reporting Companies for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022 and interim periods within those fiscal years, which will be fiscal 2023 for us if we continue to be classified as a Smaller Reporting Company, with early adoption permitted. We do not expect that the adoption of the new guidance will have a material impact on our financial statements.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

 

Not applicable for smaller reporting companies.

 

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

 

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)(Exchange Act), that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission'sCommission’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

Under the supervision, and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined under Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e), as of September 30 2019.2020. Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer concluded that, as of September 30, 2019,2020, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective. This was due to the lack of appropriate review procedures related to evaluation and proper accounting for lease contracts consistent with capital lease accounting under U.S. GAAP.


The Company determined that it did not maintain effective controls to ensure that leasing transactions were properly accounted for in accordance with U.S. GAAP, which constitutes a material weakness in internal control over financial reporting. A material weakness is a deficiency or a combination of deficiencies in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company’s annual or interim financial information will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

To address these deficiencies, we will remediate our control procedures to reduce the likelihood of these errors recurring. We will implement additional quarterly control procedures to review any changes in events affecting our leasing transactions to ensure proper accounting under U.S. GAAP.

 

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) or 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the three months ended September 30, 20192020 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

There were no material changes from the risk factors previously disclosed inFor information regarding Risk Factors, please refer to Part I, Item 1A. “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018.2019, as supplemented by the following additional risk factor, and the information regarding forward-looking statements included in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” included in this Report.

The effects of the COVID-19 pandemic could materially adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition

The novel coronavirus disease 2019 (“COVID-19”), which the World Health Organization declared 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, and contributed to significant declines and volatility in financial markets. In response to COVID-19, countries and local governments have imposed restrictions on the operations of non-essential businesses and services, imposed travel restrictions and implemented societal lockdowns. Additionally, companies are taking precautions, such as requiring employees to work remotely and temporarily closing businesses. All of these factors have had, and are likely to continue to have, a severe adverse effect on global economic conditions, underemployment and unemployment, consumer spending and reductions in non-essential spending by governments and private companies, as well as uncertainty in financial markets. We have experienced limited operational disruptions and declines in customer demand for services to date; however, depending upon the extent and duration of the COVID-19 pandemic, we may experience a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition as a result of the effects of COVID-19.

In response to the declaration of the COVID-19 pandemic we triggered our Business Continuity Plan for our 12 global delivery centers and offices, enabling us to continue operations while safeguarding the health and welfare of our employees. While the pandemic presented, and may in the future present, new risks to our business and there have been logistical and other challenges, there was no material adverse impact on our financial condition or results of operations for the quarter ended September 30, 2020. In addition, the COVID-19 pandemic could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition by, among others, customers with at-will contracts, particularly in our DDS segment, reducing, delaying or cancelling orders; reduced spending by customers on third-party service providers as part of cost-rationalization efforts or otherwise; or customers determining to bring services in-house and/or customers delaying or postponing data engineering needs. Additionally, the effects of COVID-19 could exacerbate any other risks or uncertainties to which we are subject. Lastly, should we experience material adverse effects on our results of operations or financial condition, we may not be able to access additional sources of liquidity at rates that are acceptable to us, if at all.


The situation surrounding COVID-19 crisis remains fluid and the extent and duration of its impact to the economy remains unclear. For this reason, we cannot reasonably estimate with any degree of certainty the future impact to our results of operations and financial condition. The potential for a material impact on our results of operations and financial condition increases the longer the virus affects the level of economic activity in the United States and globally. In the event we experience a significant or prolonged reduction in revenues, the likelihood of which is uncertain, we would seek to manage our liquidity by reducing capital expenditures, deferring investment activities, and reducing operating costs as we would likely have no other source of liquidity to support ongoing operations in a manner that is not significantly detrimental to the business.
