NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(unaudited)
Note 1 Interim Financial Statements:
Basis of Presentation.
The financial statements included in this Form 10-Q have been prepared by us, without audit,
pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain
information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America have been
condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. These condensed consolidated
financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial
statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December
31, 2006.
In the opinion of management, the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements
contain all adjustments, consisting solely of those which are of a normal recurring nature,
necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim periods.
Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for the full fiscal year.
Note 2 Stock-Based Compensation:
At March 31, 2007, we have one stock based employee compensation plan. The compensation cost
that has been charged against income for that plan for the three months ended March 31, 2007 was
$74,646, of which $35,521 is a result of the expensing of stock options pursuant to FAS 123R. The
expense related to the stock based employee compensation plan for the three months ended March 31,
2006 was $83,895, of which, $77,826 is a result of the expensing of stock options pursuant to FAS
123R.
As of March 31, 2007, there was $663,611 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to
nonvested stock options. That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of
4.92 years.
Note 3
Earnings Per Share:
Basic income (loss) per common share for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006 was
calculated based upon net income (loss) divided by the weighted average number of shares of our
common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted income per share for the three months ended
March 31, 2007 was calculated based upon net income divided by the weighted average number of
shares of our common stock outstanding during the period, adjusted for dilutive securities using
the treasury method. Diluted loss per common share for the three

months ended March 31, 2006 exclude the impact of outstanding stock options as their inclusion

Commitments and Contingencies:
On March 1, 2006, we entered into an employment agreement with our President and Chief
Executive Officer that expires on February 28, 2009. This agreement amended and restated the prior
agreement that originally expired January 31, 2007. Pursuant to this

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(unaudited)
employment agreement our President and Chief Executive Officer can potentially receive up to 25,000
shares of the companys common stock each fiscal year. Based on managements assumptions, we
recognized the related proportionate expense for these stock units for the three months ended March
31, 2007. The aggregate amount due from January 1, 2007 through the expiration under these
agreements was $981,333. On February 27, 2007, in connection with his employment agreement related
to fiscal year 2006, we issued 14,850 shares of stock to our President and Chief Executive Officer,
this was net of 10,150 shares withheld for withholding taxes associated with the issuance of the
shares. In addition, we have an employment agreement with our Chief Financial Officer that expires
February 5, 2008.
Note 5 Business Segments
FASB Statement No. 131, Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information,
requires companies to provide certain information about their operating segments. In November 2003,
we acquired the intellectual property of CapMed Corporation. Accordingly, we now have two operating
segments: pharmaceutical contract services and the CapMed division. Our pharmaceutical contract
service segment provides services that support the product development process of the
pharmaceutical, biotechnology and medical device industries. Our CapMed segment offers a software
application that enables users to manage and store personal health information, including their
medical images, on the privacy of their desktop computer, while linking directly to
sponsor-directed resources such as drug information, patient education, or disease guidelines. The
operating segments are managed separately because each offers different services and applications
to different markets. Our management evaluates the performance of each segment based upon
operating earnings or losses before interest and income taxes.

ability to make payments, additional allowances may be required. We do not have any
off-balance-sheet credit exposure related to our customers and the trade accounts receivable does
not bear interest.

Note 7 Income Taxes
We record a valuation allowance to reduce our deferred tax assets to an amount that is more
likely than not to be realized. In assessing the need for the valuation allowance, we consider our
future taxable income and on-going prudent and feasible tax planning strategies. In the event that
we were to determine that, in the future, we would be able to realize our deferred tax assets in
excess of its net recorded amount, an adjustment to the deferred tax asset would be made, thereby
increasing net income in the period such determination was made. Likewise, should we determine
that it is more likely than not that we will be unable to realize all or part of our net deferred
tax asset in the future, an adjustment to the deferred tax asset would be charged, thereby
decreasing net income in the period such determination was made. Subsequent revisions to the
estimated realizable value of our deferred tax assets could cause our provision for income taxes to
vary significantly from period to period, although our cash tax payments would remain unaffected
until our net operating loss (NOL) carryforwards is fully utilized or has expired. Our current and
long-term deferred tax assets are primarily comprised of the temporary book to tax differences
related to deferred revenue and our NOL carryforwards. We have determined that there is sufficient
future taxable income to more likely than not utilize the unlimited net operating loss carryforward
at March 31, 2007.
We have accumulated tax losses, which include allowable deductions related to exercised
employee stock options, generating federal net operating loss (NOL) carryforwards of $2.3 million
as of March 31, 2007. The losses will expire, if unused in the years 2009-2022. Under limitations
imposed by Internal Revenue Code Section 382, certain potential changes in our ownership, which may
be outside our knowledge or control, may restrict future utilization of these carryforwards. Due
to such ownership changes that have occurred in prior years, we have estimated that $1.1 million of
our current federal net operating loss will likely expire unused due
to Internal Revenue Code Section 382 limitations and have a valuation allowance of $408,000
for this limitation at December 31, 2006 and March 31, 2007.

BIO-IMAGING TECHNOLOGIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(unaudited)
On January 1, 2007, we adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 48
Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes (FIN 48). FIN 48 prescribes recognition threshold
that a tax position is required to meet before being recognized in the financial statements.
Historically, our tax provision for financial statement purposes and the actual tax returns
have been prepared using consistent methodologies. There were no material unrecognized tax
benefits as of December 31, 2006. Accordingly, the adoption did not have a material impact on the
financial statements. We do not expect the unrecognized tax benefit to change during the next
twelve months. Any interest and penalties incurred on settlements of outstanding tax positions
would be recorded as a component of tax expense. We file our tax returns as prescribed by the tax
laws of the jurisdictions in which we operate. Our federal taxes for years 2005 and 2006 are
subject to examination. Our state taxes for years 2000 through 2006 are subject to examination.
Note 8 Derivatives and Other Hedging Instruments
All derivatives are recognized in our Consolidated Statement of Operations at fair value and
are reported in prepaid expenses and other current assets on the Balance Sheet. To qualify for
hedge accounting in accordance with SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and
Hedging Activities, as amended by SFAS No. 138, Accounting for Certain Derivative Instruments and
Certain Hedging Activities, (SFAS No. 133), we require that the instruments are effective in
reducing the risk exposure that they are designated to hedge. For instruments that are associated
with the hedge of cash flows, hedge effectiveness criteria also require that it be probable that
the underlying transaction will occur. Instruments that meet established accounting criteria are
formally designated as hedges at the inception of the contract. These criteria demonstrate that the
derivative is expected to be highly effective at offsetting changes in fair value or cash flows of
the underlying exposure both at inception of the hedging relationship and on an ongoing basis. The
assessment for effectiveness is formally documented at hedge inception and reviewed at least
quarterly throughout the designated hedge period.
In accordance with our current foreign exchange rate risk management policy, since inception,
we have purchased twenty monthly Euro call options. Nineteen monthly call options were in the
amount of 250,000 Euros each and one call option was for 200,000 Euros for anticipated additional
costs in May, 2006. The first expiration was on July 27, 2005 and the last expiration was in March
2007 with a strike price ranging from $1.26 to $1.27. These options
were to hedge against the exposure to variability in our cash flows resulting from Euro
denominated costs for our Netherlands subsidiary. We paid a total premium of $132,109 for the
options.
During the three months ended March 31, 2007, we exercised the remaining two options and a
gain of $10,398 was recognized in the Consolidated Statement of Operations on the
11
BIO-IMAGING TECHNOLOGIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(unaudited)
exercised options. During the three months ended March 31, 2006, we did not exercise any options
and a loss of $19,016 was recognized in the Consolidated Statement of Operations for the
unexercised options.
Under our current foreign exchange rate risk management policy, and upon expiration or
ineffectiveness of the derivative, we will record a gain or loss from the derivative that is
deferred in stockholders equity to cost of revenues and general and administrative expenses in the
Consolidated Statement of Operations based on the nature of the underlying cash flow hedged.
Note 9 Acquisition
On February 6, 2007, we acquired 100% of the outstanding securities of Theralys, a privately
held company headquartered in Lyon, France to expand our therapeutic expertise in the Central
Nervous System and Neurovascular areas. The aggregate purchase price was 2,958,285 Euros
($3,853,462 as determined by an agreed upon exchange rate), of which 2,375,484 Euros ($3,093,122)
was paid in cash and $760,341 was paid in 93,408 shares of our common stock. We also incurred
approximately $673,000 in acquisition costs. The result of operations of Theralys were included in
our Consolidated Statements of Income, Cash Flows and Balance Sheet at the acquisition date. The
assets acquired primarily consisted of $4,221,000 goodwill, $291,000 software, $52,000 customer
relationship and $26,000 non-compete. The purchase price allocation of Theralys used in the
preparation of these financial statements is preliminary due to the continuing analyses relating to
the determination of the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Any changes to
the fair value of net assets acquired, based on information as of the acquisition date, will result
in an adjustment to the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. We do not expect
the finalization of these matters to have a material effect on the allocation.

Overview
Pharmaceutical Contract Services
We are a global pharmaceutical contract service organization, providing services that support
the product development process of the pharmaceutical, biotechnology and medical device industries.
We specialize in assisting our clients in the design and management of the medical imaging
component of clinical trials for all modalities, which includes computerized tomography (CT),
magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), radiography, dual energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA/DEXA),
positron emission tomography (PET), single photon emission computerized tomography (SPECT),
quantitative coronary angiography (QCA), cardiac MRI and CT, intravascular ultrasound
(IVUS), peripheral quantitative angiography (QVA) and ultrasound. We provide services that
include the processing and analysis of medical images and the data-basing and regulatory submission
of medical images, quantitative data and text.
Our sales cycle, referring to the period from the presentation by us to a potential client to
the engagement of us by such client, has historically been approximately 12 months. In addition,
the contracts under which we perform services typically cover a period of 12 to 60 months and the
volume and type of services performed by us generally vary during the course of a project. We
cannot assure you that our project revenues will be at levels sufficient to maintain profitability.
Service revenues were generated from 101 clients encompassing 213 distinct projects for the three
months ended March 31, 2007. This compares to 95 clients encompassing 218 distinct projects for
the three months ended March 31, 2006.
Our contracted/committed backlog, referred to as backlog, is the amount of service revenue
that remains to be earned and recognized on both signed and verbally agreed to contracts. Our
backlog was $77.6 million as of March 31, 2007. This compares to $61.5 million as of March 31,
2006. Contracts included in backlog are subject to termination by our clients at any time. In the
event that a contract is canceled by the client, we would be entitled to receive payment for all
services performed up to the cancellation date. The duration of the projects included in our
backlog range from less than 3 months to 7 years. We believe that our backlog assists our
management as a general indicator of our long-term business. However, we do not believe that
backlog is a reliable predictor of near-term results because service revenues may be incurred in a
given period on contracts that were not included in the previous reporting periods backlog and/or
contract cancellations or project delays may occur in a given period on contracts that were
included in the previous reporting periods backlog.
We believe that demand for our services and technologies will continue to grow as the use of
digital technologies for data acquisition and management increases in the radiology and drug
development communities. We also believe that there is a growing recognition within the
bio-pharmaceutical industry of the advantages in using an independent centralized core laboratory
for analysis of medical-imaging data and compliance with the regulatory demands for the submission
of such data and this may lead to a growth in our market share for these services. The FDA is also
requiring more robust studies and additional data for clinical trials. In addition,
- 13 -
the FDA
continues to develop sophisticated guidelines for computerized submission of clinical trial data,
including medical images. Furthermore, we believe that the increased use of digital medical images
in clinical trials, especially for important drug classes such as anti-inflammatory, neurologic and
oncologic therapeutics and diagnostic image agents, generate large amounts of image data from a
large number of imaging sources. These studies require processing, analysis, data management and
submission services best handled by vendors with scalable logistical capabilities and extensive
experience working with research facilities worldwide. However, due to several factors, including,
without limitation, competition from commercial competitors and academic research centers and the
risk of project cancellations, slowing of patient enrollment in on-going studies or delay of future
project awards, among others, we cannot assure you that demand for our services and technologies
will grow, sustain growth, or that additional revenue generating opportunities will be realized by
us.
CapMed Division
Our CapMed division offers the Personal Health Record software, referred to as PHR, and the
patent-pending Personal HealthKey technology. The PHR is a software application that enables
users to manage and store personal health information, including their medical images, on the
privacy of their desktop computer, while linking directly to sponsor-directed resources such as
drug information, patient education, or disease guidelines. The Personal HealthKey plugs into a
computers USB port, allowing doctors and patients easy access to the patients medical record
without the need for additional hardware or software, and it is password protected.
We intend to expand our CapMed division through partnerships and marketing efforts devoted to
the PHR and Personal HealthKey products. We continue to pursue alliances and evaluate strategic
alternatives to maximize shareholder value. We believe that continued emphasis on improving
patient care and reducing cost will contribute to the growth of the personal electronic medical
records market. CapMed continues to progress towards the completion of its dot-net conversion and
development of its web portal strategy, which includes a web-based PHR. Once completed, our
customers will have the choice of managing their health through an on-line PHR, from their desktop
PC or from our patent-pending USB Healthkey, which we believe will further enhance value in the
marketplace and reduce the lengthy sales cycle typical in this space. We continue
to be encouraged by the long-term prospects for this division although the adoption rate has
been slower than anticipated.
Forward Looking Statements
Certain matters discussed in this Form 10-Q are forward-looking statements intended to
qualify for the safe harbors from liability established by the Private Securities Litigation Reform
Act of 1995. Such forward-looking statements may be identified by, among other things, the use of
forward-looking terminology such as believes, expects, may, will, should or anticipates
or the negative thereof or other variations thereon or comparable terminology, or by discussions of
strategy that involve risks and uncertainties. In particular, our statements regarding: our
projected financial results; growth potential for our CapMed division; the demand for our services
and technologies; growing recognition for the use of independent
- 14 -
centralized core laboratories;
trends toward the outsourcing of imaging services in clinical trials; realized return from our
marketing efforts; increased use of digital medical images in clinical trials; integration of our
acquired companies and businesses; expansion into new business segments; the success of any
potential acquisitions and the integration of current acquisitions; and the level of our backlog
are examples of such forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements include risks and
uncertainties, including, but not limited to, the timing of revenues due to the variability in
size, scope and duration of projects, estimates made by management with respect to our critical
accounting policies, regulatory delays, clinical study results which lead to reductions or
cancellations of projects, and other factors, including general economic conditions and regulatory
developments, not within our control. The factors discussed in this Form 10-Q and expressed from
time to time in our filings with the SEC, as well as the risk factors set forth in our Form 10-K,
could cause actual results and developments to be materially different from those expressed in or
implied by such statements. The forward-looking statements are made only as of the date of this
filing, and we undertake no obligation to publicly update such forward-looking statements to
reflect subsequent events or circumstances.
Application of Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
On January 1, 2007, we adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 48
Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes (FIN 48). FIN 48 prescribes recognition threshold
that a tax position is required to meet before being recognized in the financial statements.
Historically, our tax provision for financial statement purposes and the actual tax returns
have been prepared using consistent methodologies. There were no material unrecognized tax
benefits as of December 31, 2006. Accordingly, the adoption did not have a material impact on the
financial statements. We do not expect the unrecognized
tax benefit to change during the next twelve months. Any interest and penalties incurred on
settlements of outstanding tax positions would be recorded as a component of tax expense. We file
our tax returns as prescribed by the tax laws of the jurisdictions in which we operate. Our
federal taxes for years 2005 and 2006 are subject to examination. Our state taxes for years 2000
through 2006 are subject to examination.

Service revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006 were $8,759,421 and
$7,242,591 respectively, an increase of $1,516,830, or 20.9%. The increase in service revenues was
due to an increase in work performed from our increased contract signings in fiscal 2006 and our
increased backlog. Our backlog at March 31, 2007 was $77.6 million compared to $61.5 million at
March 31, 2006, an increase of 26.2%. We believe this increase in backlog is an indicator that the
overall market growth for medical-imaging related services for clinical trials continues to be
positive, subject to project cancellations, slowing of patient enrollment in on-going studies and
delays of future project awards.
Service revenues were generated from 101 clients encompassing 213 distinct projects for the
three months ended March 31, 2007. This compares to 95 clients
encompassing 218 distinct projects for the three months ended March 31, 2006. This decrease in the
number of projects is in part due to a marketing focus on larger clinical trials projects. No one
client accounted for more than 10% of our service revenue for the three months ended March 31,
2007. One client, Novartis Pharmaceuticals, Inc., encompassing 16 projects represented 12.0% of
our service
- 16 -
revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2006. Service revenues generated from our
client base, while still concentrated as measured by the number of clients, is more dispersed when
revenue concentration is measured by the number of individual projects. Our primary scope of work
in both periods included medical-imaging core laboratory services and image-based information
management services.
Reimbursement revenues consist of payments received from the customer for reimbursable costs.
Reimbursement revenues fluctuate significantly over the course of any given project and quarter to
quarter variations are a reflection of this project timing. Therefore, our management believes
that reimbursement revenues are not a significant indicator of our overall performance trends. At
the request of our clients, we may directly pay the independent radiologists who review our
clients imaging data. In such cases, per contractual arrangement, these costs are billed to our
clients and are included in Reimbursement Revenue and Cost of Revenues.
Cost of revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006 was $7,541,509 and
$6,684,840 respectively, an increase of $856,669, or 12.8%. The increase in cost of revenues is
primarily due to the increase in reimbursement revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2007
and also to the addition of operating costs from Theralys S.A. Cost of revenues for the three
months ended March 31, 2007 and three months ended March 31, 2006 were comprised of professional
salaries and benefits, allocated overhead and pass-through costs. The cost of revenues as a
percentage of total revenues also fluctuates due to work-flow variations in the utilization of
staff and the mix of services provided by us in any given period. We expect that our cost of
revenues will continue to increase in fiscal 2007 as reimbursement revenues and service revenues
increase.
General and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006 was
$1,472,278 and $1,371,246 respectively, an increase of $101,032, or 7.4%. General and
administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and three months ended March 31,
2006 consisted primarily of salaries and benefits, depreciation and amortization, professional and
consulting services, office rent and corporate insurance. The increase is primarily due to an
increase in professional and consulting services. We expect that our general and administrative
expense will increase in 2007 due to anticipated additional expenditures for compliance with the
Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. General and administrative expenses as a percentage of total revenues
decreased slightly for the three months ended March 31, 2007 from the three months ended March 31,
2006 is primarily due to a greater increase in our total revenues
for the three months ended March 31, 2007.
Sales and marketing expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006 was $1,560,026
and $1,447,728 respectively, an increase of $112,298, or 7.8%. Sales and marketing expenses for
the three months ended March 31, 2007 and three months ended March 31, 2006 were comprised of
direct sales and marketing costs, salaries and benefits and allocated overhead. The increase is
primarily due to an increase in sales commissions from the higher revenue for the first quarter of
2007. We expect that sales and marketing expenses will increase in fiscal 2007 as we continue to
expand our market presence in the United States and Europe. The decrease in sales and marketing
expenses as a percentage of total revenues to 14.1% for the three months
- 17 -
ended March 31, 2007 from
15.6% for the three months ended March 31, 2006 is primarily due to a greater increase in our total
revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2007.
Net interest income was $156,821 for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and net interest
income was $100,350 for the three months ended March 31, 2006, an increase of $56,471 or 56.3%.
This increase is primarily due to having a higher cash balance to invest and earning higher rates
of return on short term investments. Also, interest expense has decreased as our capital leases
are maturing. Net interest income and expense for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006
is comprised of interest income earned on our cash balance and interest expense incurred on
equipment lease obligations. Interest income may decrease in fiscal 2007 if we utilize cash for
acquisitions.
Income before income taxes was $658,463 for the three months ended March 31, 2007, and we had
a loss before income tax of $93,713 for the three months ended March 31, 2006. The increase was
due to greater service revenue while expenses increased at a slower rate due to our process
improvement efforts.
Our income tax provision for the three months ended March 31, 2007 was $263,385 versus an
income tax benefit for the three months ended March 31, 2006 of $38,038. The income tax benefit
for the three months ended March 31, 2006 resulted from recording a deferred tax benefit for the
future tax savings anticipated from using the net operating loss carryforwards available at March
31, 2006. Our effective tax rate is approximately 40% for fiscal 2007 and 38% for fiscal 2006.
The increase in the effective tax rate is due to the mix of pre-tax income in the U.S. versus the
Netherlands, which has a lower corporate income tax rate.
Business Segments
We have set forth certain financial information with respect to our two business
segments, pharmaceutical contract services and the CapMed division, in Note 5 Business
Segments to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in this Form 10-Q. During the three
months ended March 31, 2007, we had CapMed segment sales of $134,116 and total costs and expenses
of $514,528, consisting of $399,160 of sales and marketing expenses, $99,790 of general and
administrative expenses and $15,578 of cost of revenues.

At March 31, 2007, we had cash and cash equivalents of $13,906,579. Working capital at March
31, 2007 was $6,239,654.
Net cash provided by operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2007 was
$2,183,034 as compared to $1,389,452 for the three months ended March 31, 2006. This increase from
the prior year is primarily due to the increase in our deferred revenue of $1,762,189 at March 31,
2007 from December 31, 2006 due to advance deposits received from our clients for new contract
signings, offset by the $249,095 increase in our accounts receivable.
Net cash used in investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2007 was
$(4,408,601) as compared to $(448,382) for the three months ended March 31, 2006. The increase was
primarily due to $3,565,725 used for the acquisition of Theralys, S.A. on February 6, 2007. We
currently anticipate that capital expenditures for the remainder of the fiscal year ending December
31, 2007 will be approximately $3.0 million. These expenditures primarily represent additional
upgrades in our networking, data storage and core laboratory capabilities for both our United
States and European operations as well as capitalization of software costs.
Net cash used in financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2007 was $(34,118)
as compared to $(227,736) for the three months ended March 31, 2006. The change is primarily
attributable to the payments under equipment lease obligations of $140,589 offset by cash received
from exercise of stock options of $106,471.

We have neither paid nor declared dividends on our common stock since our inception and do not
plan to pay dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future.
In accordance with our current foreign exchange rate risk management policy, since inception,
we have purchased twenty monthly Euro call options. Nineteen monthly call options were in the
amount of 250,000 Euros each and one call option was for 200,000 Euros for anticipated additional
costs in May, 2006. The first expiration was on July 27, 2005 and the last expiration was in March
2007 with a strike price ranging from $1.26 to $1.27. These options were intended to hedge against
the exposure to variability in our cash flows resulting from the Euro denominated costs for our
Netherlands subsidiary. We paid a total premium of $132,109 for the options.
During the three months ended March 31, 2007, we exercised the remaining two options. A gain
of $10,398 was recognized in the Consolidated Statement of Operations on the exercised options.
During the three months ended March 31, 2006, we did not exercise any options. A loss of $19,016
was recognized in the Consolidated Statement of Operations for the unexercised options.
Under our current foreign exchange rate risk management policy, and upon expiration or
ineffectiveness of the derivative, we will record a gain or loss from the derivative that is
deferred in stockholders equity to cost of revenues and general and administrative expenses in the
Consolidated Statement of Operations based on the nature of the underlying cash flow hedged.
As of March 31, 2007, we have not purchased any additional such Euro call options, because our
foreign currency needs are being met by the cash flow generated by Euro denominated contracts.
We have not entered into any off-balance sheet transactions, arrangements or other
relationships with unconsolidated entities or other persons that are likely to affect
liquidity or the availability of or requirements for capital resources.
-20-
We anticipate that our existing capital resources together with cash flow from operations will
be sufficient to meet our cash needs. However, we cannot assure you that our operating results will
maintain profitability on an annual basis in the future. The inherent operational risks associated
with the following factors may have a material adverse affect on our future liquidity:
|
|
|
our ability to gain new client contracts; |
|
|
|
|
project cancellations; |
|
|
|
|
the variability of the timing of payments on existing client contracts; and |
|
|
|
|
other changes in our operating assets and liabilities. |
We may seek to raise additional capital from equity or debt sources in order to take advantage
of unanticipated opportunities, such as more rapid expansion, acquisitions of complementary
businesses or the development of new services. We cannot assure you that additional financing will
be available, if at all, on terms acceptable to us.
Our fiscal year 2007 operating plan contains assumptions regarding revenue and expenses. The
achievement of our operating plan depends heavily on the timing of work performed by us on existing
projects and our ability to gain and perform work on new projects. Project cancellations, or
delays in the timing of work performed by us on existing projects or our inability to gain and
perform work on new projects, could have an adverse impact on our ability to execute our operating
plan and maintain adequate cash flow. In the event actual results do not meet the operating plan,
our management believes it could execute contingency plans to mitigate these effects. Our plans
include additional financing, to the extent available, through the line of credit discussed above.
Considering the cash on hand and based on the achievement of the operating plan and managements
actions taken to date, management believes it has the ability to continue to generate sufficient
cash to satisfy our operating requirements in the normal course of business for at least the next
12 months and the foreseeable future.
Changes to Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our critical accounting policies and estimates are set forth in our Annual Report on Form 10-K
for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006. As of March 31, 2007, there have been no changes to
such critical accounting policies and estimates, except for the adoption of Financial Standards
Accounting Board Interpretation No. 48 Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes (FIN 48) an
interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 (SFAS 109) on January 1, 2007.
-21-
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
Interest Rate Risk
We invest in high-quality financial instruments, primarily money market funds, federal agency
notes, asset backed securities, corporate debt securities and United States treasury notes, with an
effective duration of the portfolio of less than nine months and no security with an effective
duration in excess of two years, which we believe are subject to limited credit risk. We currently
do not hedge our interest rate exposure. Due to the short-term nature of our investments, we do
not believe that we have any material exposure to interest rate risk arising from our investments.
Foreign Currency Risk
Our financial statements are denominated in United States dollars. Fluctuations in foreign
currency exchange rates could materially increase the operating costs of our facility in the
Netherlands, which are primarily EURO denominated. At March 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006, a 10%
increase or decrease in the EURO to U.S. dollar spot exchange rate would result in a change of
$47,226 and $41,600 to our net asset position at March 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006,
respectively. In addition, certain of our contracts are denominated in foreign currency. We
believe that any adverse fluctuation in the foreign currency markets relating to these contracts
will not result in any material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations.
In the event we derive a greater portion of our service revenues from international operations,
factors associated with international operations, including changes in foreign currency exchange
rates, could affect our results of operations and financial condition.
We hedge our foreign currency exposure when and as appropriate to mitigate the adverse impact
of fluctuating exchange rates. Our foreign currency financial instruments primarily consist of
cash, trade receivables, prepaid expenses, fixed assets, trade payables and accrued expenses and
were in a net asset position at March 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006. An increase in the exchange
rate would result in less net assets when converted to U.S. dollars. Conversely, if we were in a
net liability position, a decrease in the exchange rate would result in more net liabilities when
converted to U.S. dollars.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures. Based on their evaluation of our disclosure
controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of
March 31, 2007, our president and chief executive officer (principal executive officer) and our
chief financial officer (principal accounting and financial officer) have concluded that our
disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be
disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded,
processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities
-22-
and Exchange Commissions rules and forms and are operating in an effective manner for the
period covered by this report.
Changes in internal control over financial reporting. There was no change in our internal
controls over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended March 31, 2007 that has
materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over
financial reporting.
PART II. OTHER INFORMATION.
Item 1A. Risk Factors.
The more prominent risks and uncertainties inherent in our business are described below.
However, additional risks and uncertainties may also impair our business operations. If any of the
following risks actually occur, our business, financial condition or results of operations may
suffer. Investing in our common stock involves a high degree of risk. Any of the following factors
could harm our business and future results of operations and you could lose all or part of your
investment.
Risks Related to Our Company and Business
We may incur financial losses because contracts may be delayed or terminated or reduced in scope
for reasons beyond our control.
Our clients may terminate or delay their contracts for a variety of reasons, including, but
not limited to:
|
|
|
unexpected or undesired clinical results; |
|
|
|
|
the clients decision to terminate the development of a particular product or to end a
particular study; |
|
|
|
|
insufficient patient enrollment in a study; |
|
|
|
|
insufficient investigator recruitment; |
|
|
|
|
failure to perform our obligations under the contract; or |
|
|
|
|
the failure of products to satisfy safety requirements. |
In addition, we believe that FDA-regulated companies may proceed with fewer clinical trials or
conduct them without assistance of contract service organizations if they are trying to reduce
costs as a result of cost containment pressures associated with healthcare reform, budgetary limits
or changing priorities. These factors may cause such companies to cancel contracts with contract
service organizations.
We cannot assure you that our clients will continue to use our services or that we will be
able to replace, in a timely or effective manner, departing clients with new clients that generate
comparable revenues. Further, we cannot assure you that our clients will continue to generate
consistent amounts of revenues over time.
-23-
The loss, reduction in scope or delay of a large contract or the loss or delay of multiple
contracts could materially adversely affect our business, although our contracts entitle us to
receive all fees earned up to the time of termination. The loss of business from our client,
Novartis Pharmaceutical, Inc., would have a material adverse effect on our financial condition.
We depend on a small number of industries and clients for all of our business, and the loss of one
such significant client could cause revenues to drop quickly and unexpectedly.
We depend on research and development expenditures by pharmaceutical, biotechnology and
medical device companies to sustain our business. Our operations could be materially and adversely
affected if:
|
|
|
clients businesses experience financial problems or are affected by a general economic
downturn; |
|
|
|
|
consolidation in the pharmaceutical, biotechnology or medical device industries leads to
a smaller client base for us; or |
|
|
|
|
clients reduce their research and development expenditures. |
No clients represented 10% of our service revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2007.
One client, Novartis Pharmaceuticals, Inc., encompassing 16 projects represented 12.0% of our
service revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2006. The loss of business from a significant
client or our failure to continue to obtain new business to replace completed or canceled projects
would have a material adverse effect on our business and revenues.
Our contracted/committed backlog may not be indicative of future results.
Our reported contracted/committed backlog of $77.6 million at March 31, 2007 is based on
anticipated service revenue from uncompleted projects with clients. Backlog is the expected service
revenue that remains to be earned and recognized on signed and verbally agreed to contracts.
Contracts included in backlog are subject to termination by our clients at any time. In the event
that a client cancels a contract, we would be entitled to receive payment for all services
performed up to the cancellation date and subsequent client authorized services related to the
cancellation of the project. The duration of the projects included in our backlog range from less
than three months to seven years. We cannot assure that this backlog will be indicative of future
results. A number of factors may affect backlog, including:
|
|
|
the variable size and duration of the projects (some are performed over several years); |
|
|
|
|
the loss or delay of projects; |
|
|
|
|
the change in the scope of work during the course of a project; and |
|
|
|
|
the cancellation of such contracts by our clients. |
Also, if clients delay projects, the projects will remain in backlog, but will not generate
revenue at the rate originally expected. Accordingly, the historical relationship of backlog to
revenues may not be indicative of future results.
-24-
We have experienced substantial expansion in the past, and if we fail to properly manage that
expansion, our business may suffer.
Our business has expanded substantially in the past. Our continuing sales and marketing efforts
have resulted in increased revenues. The number of projects under management was 213 in the first
quarter of 2007. In addition, we acquired Theralys in February 2007, HeartCore in December 2004
and CapMed in November 2003.
Rapid expansion, internally or through acquisitions, could strain our operational, human and
financial resources. If we fail to properly manage this expansion, our results of operations and
financial condition might be adversely affected. In order to manage our expansion, we must:
|
|
|
effectively market our services to pharmaceutical, biotechnology and medical device
companies; |
|
|
|
|
continue to improve operating, administrative and information systems; |
|
|
|
|
accurately predict future personnel and resource needs to meet client contract
commitments; |
|
|
|
|
successfully integrate our acquired companies and businesses; |
|
|
|
|
track the progress of on-going client projects; and |
|
|
|
|
attract and retain qualified management, sales, professional and technical operating
personnel. |
We will face additional risks in expanding foreign operations. Specifically, we might find it
difficult to:
|
|
|
assimilate differences in foreign business practices and regulations; |
|
|
|
|
hire and retain qualified personnel; and |
|
|
|
|
overcome language and cultural barriers. |
We may engage in future acquisitions, which may be expensive and time consuming and from which we
may not realize anticipated benefits.
We may acquire additional businesses, technologies and products if we determine that these
additional businesses, technologies and products complement our existing business or otherwise
serve our strategic goals. If we do undertake transactions of this sort, the process of integrating
an acquired business, technology or product may result in operating difficulties and expenditures
and may absorb significant management attention that would otherwise be available for ongoing
development of our business. Moreover, we may never realize the anticipated benefits of any
acquisition. Future acquisitions could result in potentially dilutive issuances of our securities,
the incurrence of debt and contingent liabilities and amortization expenses related to intangible
assets, which could adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.
On February 6, 2007, we acquired 100% of the outstanding securities of Theralys, a
-25-
privately held company headquartered in Lyon, France. The aggregate purchase price was 2,958,285
Euros ($3,853,462 as determined by an agreed upon exchange rate), of which 2,375,484 Euros
($3,093,122) was paid in cash and $760,341 was paid in 93,408 shares of our common stock. We also
incurred approximately $673,000 in acquisition costs.
Loss of key personnel, or failure to attract and retain additional personnel, may cause the success
and growth of our business to suffer.
Future success depends on the personal efforts and abilities of the principal members of our
senior management to provide strategic direction, develop business, manage operations and maintain
a cohesive and stable environment. Specifically, we are dependent upon Mark L. Weinstein, President
and Chief Executive Officer, David A. Pitler, Senior Vice President Operations, Colin G. Miller,
Ph.D., Senior Vice President Medical Affairs and Ted I. Kaminer, Senior Vice President and Chief
Financial Officer. Although we have employment agreements with Mr. Weinstein and Mr. Kaminer, this
does not necessarily mean that they will remain with us. Although we have executive retention
agreements with our officers, we do not have employment agreements with any other key personnel.
Furthermore, our performance also depends on our ability to attract and retain management and
qualified professional and technical operating staff. Competition for these skilled personnel is
intense. The loss of services of any key executive, or inability to continue to attract and retain
qualified staff, could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and
financial condition. We do not maintain any key employee insurance on any of our executives.
Our revenues, earnings and operating costs are exposed to exchange rate fluctuations.
During the first quarter of 2007, a portion of our service revenues were denominated in
foreign currency. Our financial statements are denominated in United States dollars. In the event
a greater portion of our service revenues are denominated in a foreign currency changes in foreign
currency exchange rates could affect our results of operations and financial condition.
Fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates could materially impact the operating costs of our
European facility in Leiden, the Netherlands which are primarily Euro denominated.
Risks Related to Our Industry
Our failure to compete effectively in our industry could cause our revenues to decline.
Significant factors in determining whether we will be able to compete successfully include:
|
|
|
consultative and clinical trials design capabilities; |
|
|
|
|
reputation for on-time quality performance; |
|
|
|
|
expertise and experience in specific therapeutic areas; |
|
|
|
|

the service and product offerings of our competitors. |
If our services are not competitive based on these or other factors, our business, financial
condition and results of operations will be materially harmed.
The biopharmaceutical services industry is highly competitive, and we face numerous
competitors in our business, including hundreds of contract research organizations. If we fail to
compete effectively, we will lose clients, which would cause our business to suffer. We primarily
compete against in-house departments of pharmaceutical companies, full service contract research
organizations, or CROs, small specialty CROs, and to a lesser extent, universities and teaching
hospitals. Some of these competitors have substantially greater capital, technical and other
resources than we do. In addition, certain of our competitors that are smaller specialized
companies may compete effectively against us because of their concentrated size and focus.
Changes in outsourcing trends in the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries could adversely
affect our operating results and growth rate.
Service revenues depend greatly on the expenditures made by the pharmaceutical and
biotechnology industries in research and development. Accordingly, economic factors and industry
trends that affect our clients in these industries also affect our business. For example, the
practice of many companies in these industries has been to hire outside organizations like us to
conduct clinical research projects. This practice has grown significantly in the last decade, and
we have benefited from this trend. However, if this trend were to change and companies in these
industries were to reduce the number of research and development projects they outsource, our
business could be materially adversely affected.
Additionally, numerous governments have undertaken efforts to control growing healthcare costs
through legislation, regulation and voluntary agreements with medical care providers and
pharmaceutical companies. If future regulatory cost containment efforts limit the profits that can
be derived on new drugs, our clients might reduce their research and development spending, which
could reduce our business.
Failure to comply with existing regulations could result in increased costs to complete clinical
trials.
Our business is subject to numerous governmental regulations, primarily relating to
pharmaceutical product development and the conduct of clinical trials. In particular, we are
subject to 21 CFR Part 11 of the Code of Federal Regulations that provides the criteria for
acceptance by the FDA of electronic records. If we fail to comply with these governmental
regulations, it could result in the termination of ongoing clinical research or the
disqualification of data for submission to regulatory authorities. We also could be barred from
providing clinical trial services in the future or be subjected to fines. Any of these consequences
would harm our reputation, our prospects for future work and our operating results.

Our CapMed division may not reach profitability.
Our CapMed division had a loss from operations of $380,412 as of March 31, 2007. If our
CapMed division continues to incur such losses, our business, results of operations and financial
condition will be materially adversely affected.
Changes in governmental regulation could decrease the need for the services we provide, which would
negatively affect our future business opportunities.
In recent years, the United States Congress and state legislatures have considered various
types of healthcare reform in order to control growing healthcare costs. The United States Congress
and state legislatures may again address healthcare reform in the future. We are unable to predict
what legislative proposals will be adopted in the future, if any. Similar reform movements have
occurred in Europe and Asia.
Implementation of healthcare reform legislation that results in additional costs could limit
the profits that can be made by clients from the development of new products. This could adversely
affect our clients research and development expenditures, which could, in turn, decrease the
business opportunities available to us both in the United States and abroad. In addition, new laws
or regulations may create a risk of liability, increase costs or limit service offerings. We cannot
predict the likelihood of any of these events.
In addition to healthcare reform proposals, the expansion of managed care organizations in the
healthcare market may result in reduced spending on research and development. Managed care
organizations efforts to cut costs by limiting expenditures on pharmaceuticals and medical devices
could result in pharmaceutical, biotechnology and medical device companies spending less on
research and development. If this were to occur, we would have fewer business opportunities and our
revenues could decrease, possibly materially.
Governmental agencies throughout the world, but particularly in the United States, strictly
regulate the drug development/approval process. Our business involves helping pharmaceutical and
biotechnology companies navigate the regulatory drug approval process. Changes in regulation, such
as relaxation in regulatory requirements or the introduction of simplified drug approval procedures
or an increase in regulatory requirements that we may have difficulty satisfying could eliminate or
substantially reduce the need for our services. If these changes in regulations were to occur, our
business, results of operations and financial condition could be materially adversely affected.
These and other changes in regulation could have a material adverse impact on our available
business opportunities.
If governmental agencies do not accept the data and analyses generated by our services, the need
for our services would be eliminated or substantially reduced.
The success of our business is dependent upon continued acceptance by the FDA and other
regulatory authorities of the data and analyses generated by our services in connection with
the evaluation of the safety and efficacy of new drugs and devices. The FDA has formal
guidelines that encourage the use of surrogate measures through submission of digital image
-28-
data, for evaluation of drugs to treat life-threatening or debilitating conditions. We cannot
assure you that the FDA or other regulatory authorities will accept the data or analyses generated
by us in the future and, even assuming acceptance, the FDA or other regulatory authorities may not
require the application of imaging techniques to numbers of patients and over time periods
substantially similar to those required of traditional safety and efficacy techniques. If the
governmental agencies do not accept data and analyses generated by our services in connection with
the evaluation of new drugs and devices, the need for our services would be eliminated or
substantially reduced, and, as a result, our business, results of operations and financial
condition could be materially adversely affected.
We may be exposed to liability claims as a result of our involvement in clinical trials.
We may be exposed to liability claims as a result of our involvement in clinical trials. We
cannot assure you that liability claims will not be asserted against us as a result of work
performed for our clients. We maintain liability insurance coverage in amounts that we believe are
sufficient for the pharmaceutical services industry. Furthermore, we cannot assure you that our
clients will agree to indemnify us, or that we will have sufficient insurance to satisfy any such
liability claims. If a claim is brought against us and the outcome is unfavorable to us, such
outcome could have a material adverse impact on us.
Risks related to our common stock
Your percentage ownership and voting power and the price of our common stock may decrease as a
result of events that increase the number of our outstanding shares.
As of March 31, 2007, we had the following capital structure:
|
|
|
|
|
Common stock outstanding |
|
|
11,583,342 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Common stock issuable upon: |
|
|
|
|
Exercise of options which are outstanding |
|
|
1,805,550 |
|
Exercise of options which have not been granted |
|
|
598,944 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Total common stock outstanding assuming exercise
or conversion of all of the above |
|
|
13,987,836 |
|
As of March 31, 2007, we had outstanding options to purchase 1,805,550 shares of common stock
at exercise prices ranging from $0.63 to $8.06 per share (exercisable at a weighted average of
$3.14 per share), of which 1,551,915 options were then exercisable. Exercise of our outstanding
options into shares of our common stock may significantly and negatively affect the market price
for our common stock as well as decrease your percentage ownership and voting power. In addition,
we may conduct future offerings of our common stock or other securities with rights to convert the
securities into shares of our common stock. As a result of these and other events, such as future
acquisitions, that increase the number of our outstanding shares, your percentage ownership and
voting power and the price of our common stock may decrease.
-29-
Shares of our common stock eligible for public sale may have a negative impact on its market price.
Future sales of shares of our common stock by existing holders of our common stock or by
holders of outstanding options, upon the exercise thereof, could have a negative impact on the
market price of our common stock. As of March 31, 2007, we had 11,583,342 shares of our common
stock issued and outstanding, all of which are currently freely tradable. On February 27, 2007, in
connection with his employment agreement dated March 28, 2005, we issued 14,850 shares of
restricted stock to our President and Chief Executive Officer, this was net of 10,150 shares
withheld for withholding taxes associated with the issuance of the shares.
We are unable to estimate the number of shares that may be sold because this will depend on
the market price for our common stock, the personal circumstances of the sellers and other factors.
Any sale of substantial amounts of our common stock or other securities in the open market may
adversely affect the market price of the securities offered hereby and may adversely affect our
ability to obtain future financing in the capital markets as well as create a potential market
overhang.
There are a limited number of shareholders who have significant control over our common stock,
allowing them to have significant influence over the outcome of all matters submitted to our
stockholders for approval, which influence may conflict with our interests and the interests of our
other stockholders.
Our directors, officers and principal stockholders (stockholders owning 10% or more of our
common stock), including Covance Inc., beneficially owned 25% of the outstanding shares of common
stock and stock options that could have been converted to common stock at March 31, 2007, and such
stockholders will have significant influence over the outcome of all matters submitted to our
stockholders for approval, including the election of our directors and other corporate actions. In
addition, such influence by these affiliates could have the effect of discouraging others from
attempting to take us over, thereby increasing the likelihood that the market price of the common
stock will not reflect a premium for control.
Because we do not intend to pay dividends, stockholders will benefit from an investment in our
common stock only if it appreciates in value.
We have never declared or paid any cash dividends on our common stock. We currently intend to
retain our future earnings, if any, to finance further research and development and do not expect
to pay any cash dividends in the foreseeable future. As a result, the success of an investment in
our common stock will depend upon any future appreciation in its value. There is no guarantee that
our common stock will appreciate in value or even maintain the price at which stockholders have
purchased their shares.
Trading in our common stock may be volatile, which may result in substantial declines in its market
price.
The market price of our common stock has experienced historical volatility and might
-30-
continue
to experience volatility in the future in response to quarter-to-quarter variations in:
|
|
|
operating results; |
|
|
|
|
analysts reports; |
|
|
|
|
market conditions in the industry; |
|
|
|
|
changes in governmental regulations; and |
|
|
|
|
changes in general conditions in the economy or the financial markets. |
The overall market (including the market for our common stock) has also experienced
significant decreases in value in the past. This volatility and potential market decline could
affect the market prices of securities issued by many companies, often for reasons unrelated to
their operating performance, and may adversely affect the price of our common stock. Between
January 1, 2007 and March 31, 2007, our common stock has traded at a low of $5.84 per share and a
high of $9.40 per share.
Our common stock began trading on the NASDAQ Global Market, formerly called the NASDAQ
National Market, on December 18, 2003 and has a limited trading market. We cannot assure that an
active trading market will develop or, if developed, will be maintained. As a result, our
stockholders may find it difficult to dispose of shares of our common stock and, as a result, may
suffer a loss of all or a substantial portion of their investment.
Certain provisions of our charter and Delaware law could make a takeover difficult and may prevent
or frustrate attempts by our stockholders to replace or remove our management team.
We have an authorized class of 3,000,000 shares of undesignated preferred stock, of which
1,250,000 shares were previously issued, and the remaining 1,750,000 shares may be issued by our
board of directors, on such terms and with such rights, preferences and designation as the Board
may determine. Issuance of such preferred stock, depending upon the rights, preferences and
designations thereof, may have the effect of delaying, deterring or preventing a change in control
of our company. In addition, we are subject to provisions of Delaware corporate law which, subject
to certain exceptions, will prohibit us from engaging in any business combination with a person
who, together with affiliates and associates, owns 15% or more of our common stock for a period of
three years following the date that the person came to own 15% or more of our common stock unless
the business combination is approved in a prescribed manner.
These provisions of our certificate of incorporation, and of Delaware law may have the effect
of delaying, deterring or preventing a change in control of our company, may discourage bids for
our common stock at a premium over market price and may adversely affect the market price, and the
voting and other rights of the holders, of our common stock. In addition, these provisions make it
more difficult to replace or remove our current management team in the event our stockholders
believe this would be in the best interest of our company and our stockholders.
