InnerWorkings, Inc.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2006 and 2007

1.             Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation of Interim Financial Statements

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of InnerWorkings, Inc. and subsidiaries (the Company) included herein have been prepared to conform to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim financial information. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation of the accompanying unaudited financial statements have been included, and all adjustments are of a normal and recurring nature. The operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year 2007. These condensed interim consolidated financial statements and notes should be read in conjunction with our Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto as of December 31, 2006 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 30, 2007.

Goodwill and Other Intangibles

Goodwill represents the excess of purchase price and related costs over the value assigned to the net tangible and identifiable intangible assets of businesses acquired. In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, goodwill is not amortized, but instead is tested for impairment annually, or more frequently if circumstances indicate a possible impairment may exist. The Company evaluates the recoverability of goodwill using a two-step impairment test. For goodwill impairment test purposes, the Company has one reporting unit. In the first step, the fair value for the Company is compared to its book value including goodwill. In the case that the fair value is less than the book value, a second step is performed which compares the implied fair value of the goodwill to the book value of the goodwill. The fair value of the goodwill is determined based on the difference between the fair value of the Company and the net fair values of the identifiable assets and liabilities. If the implied fair value of the goodwill is less than the book value, the difference is recognized as an impairment. Absent any interim indicators of potential impairment, the Company has elected to test for goodwill impairment during the fourth quarter of each year and as a result of the 2006 analysis performed, no impairment charges were required.

SFAS No. 142 also requires that intangible assets with finite lives be amortized over their respective estimated useful lives and reviewed for impairment whenever impairment indicators exist in accordance with SFAS No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets. The Company’s intangible assets consist of customer lists, noncompete agreements and trade names, which are being amortized on the straight-line basis over their estimated weighted-average useful lives of approximately thirteen years, four years and four years, respectively.

The following is a summary of the intangible assets:

Stock-Based Compensation

Effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted the fair value recognition provisions of FAS 123 (R), Share-Based Payments, using the prospective transition method and Black-Scholes as the option valuation model. Under the prospective transition method, the Company continues to account for nonvested equity awards outstanding at the date of adopting Statement 123 (R) in the same manner as they had been accounted for prior to adoption. As a result, under APB No. 25, compensation expense is based on the difference, if any, on the grant date between the estimated fair value of the Company’s stock and the exercise price of options to purchase that stock. The compensation expense is then amortized over the vesting period of the stock options.

During the nine month periods ended September 30, 2006 and 2007, the Company issued 1,262,050 and 62,000 options, respectively to various employees of the Company. During the nine month periods ended September 30, 2006 and 2007, 202,833 and 880,358 options were exercised, 132,833 and 192,220 of which were exercised during the three months periods ended September 30, 2006 and 2007, respectively. Using the Black-Scholes option valuation model and the assumptions listed below, the Company recorded $311,230 and $764,424 in compensation expense for the nine month periods ended September 30, 2006 and 2007, respectively.

2.             Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per common share is calculated by dividing net income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding plus share equivalents that would arise from the exercise of stock options. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007, 55,119 and 40,192 options, respectively, were excluded from the calculation as these options were anti-dilutive. The computations of basic and diluted earnings per common share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2007 are as follows:

3.             Income Taxes

The Company adopted the provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes—an Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109, or FIN 48, on January 1, 2007. The Company did not have any unrecognized tax benefits at adoption and there was no effect on its financial condition or results of operations as a result of implementing FIN 48. The Company’s policy is to recognize interest and penalties accrued on any unrecognized tax benefits as a component of income tax expense. As of the date of adoption of FIN 48, the Company did not have any accrued interest or penalties associated with any unrecognized tax benefits, nor was any interest or penalties related to tax benefits recognized during the three months ended September 30, 2007.

Based on the Company’s evaluation, it was concluded that there are no significant uncertain tax positions requiring recognition in its financial statements. The evaluation was performed for the tax year ended December 31, 2006, the tax year which remains subject to examination by major tax jurisdictions as of September 30, 2007.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2007, the Company recorded restructuring liabilities of $17,969 as a result of the acquisition.  The restructuring liabilities relate to a severance package issued to a Brown + Partners employee upon termination.  No severance payments were made during the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and the Company anticipates that payments associated with this employee termination will be made by the end of 2007.

The results of Spectrum’s and Brown + Partners’ operations do not have a material impact on the Company’s financial results. Therefore, pro forma financial information is not provided.

 

6.             Related Parties

8.             Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements.” SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. This Statement applies under other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements, the FASB having previously concluded in those accounting pronouncements that fair value is the relevant measurement attribute. Accordingly, this Statement does not require any new fair value measurements. SFAS 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years. This Statement is required to be adopted by the Company in the first quarter of 2008. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of adopting SFAS 157.

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities — Including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115” (“SFAS 159”). SFAS 159 expands the use of fair value accounting but does not affect existing standards which require assets or liabilities to be carried at fair value. Under SFAS 159, a company may elect to use fair value to measure accounts and loans receivable, available-for-sale and held-to-maturity securities, equity method investments, accounts payable, guarantees and issued debt. Other eligible items include firm commitments for financial instruments that otherwise would not be recognized at inception and non-cash warranty obligations where a warrantor is permitted to pay a third party to provide the warranty goods or services. If the use of fair value is elected, any upfront costs and fees related to the item must be recognized in earnings and cannot be deferred, e.g., debt issue costs. The fair value election is irrevocable and generally made on an instrument-by-instrument basis, even if a company has similar instruments that it elects not to measure based on fair value. At the adoption date, unrealized gains and losses on existing items for which fair value has been elected are reported as a cumulative adjustment to beginning retained earnings. Subsequent to the adoption of SFAS 159, changes in fair value are recognized in earnings. SFAS 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and is required to be adopted by the Company in the first quarter of 2008. The Company currently is determining whether fair value accounting is appropriate for any of its eligible items and cannot estimate the impact, if any, which SFAS 159 will have on its consolidated results of operations and financial condition.

 

9.             Subsequent Events

 

In October 2007, the Company acquired Data Flow Media Systems, LP in suburban Dallas and Graphic Resource Group, Inc., outside of Minneapolis. Both Companies provide services which include the procurement and production management of printed and promotional products and related warehousing and fulfillment functions. The total purchase price for both acquisitions consisted of approximately $5,600,000 in cash paid in October 2007. As a result of the acquisitions, the Company broadened its geographic presence and added ten sales executives and their corresponding production teams.

Item 2.                          Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Overview

We are a leading provider of print procurement solutions to corporate clients in the United States. Utilizing our proprietary technology and database, as well as our extensive domain expertise, we create a competitive bid process to procure, purchase and deliver printed products as part of a comprehensive outsourced enterprise solution and in individual transactions. Our technology is designed to capitalize on excess manufacturing capacity and other inefficiencies in the traditional print supply chain to obtain favorable pricing and to deliver high-quality products and services for our clients.

Our proprietary software applications and database, PPM4™, create a fully-integrated solution that stores, analyzes and tracks the production capabilities of our supplier network, as well as quote and price data for each bid we receive and print job we execute. As a result, we believe PPM4™ contains one of the largest independent repositories of equipment profiles and price data for print suppliers in the United States. We leverage our technology to match each print job with a supplier that is optimally suited to meet the client’s needs at a highly competitive price. Our procurement managers use PPM4™ to manage the print procurement process from end-to-end.

Through our network of over 6,000 suppliers, we offer a full range of print, fulfillment and logistics services and are able to procure printed products on virtually any substrate. The breadth of our product offerings and services and the depth of our supplier network enable us to fulfill up to 100% of the print procurement needs of our clients. By leveraging our technology platform, our clients are able to reduce overhead costs, redeploy internal resources and obtain favorable pricing and service terms. In addition, our ability to track individual transactions and provide customized reports detailing print procurement activity on an enterprise-wide basis provides our clients with greater visibility and control of their print expenditures.

We believe the opportunity exists to expand our business into new geographic markets. We maintain offices in Illinois, California, Hawaii, Michigan, Missouri, New York and Pennsylvania. Our objective is to continue to increase our sales in the major print markets in the United States. We intend to hire or acquire account executives within close proximity to these large markets, which accounted for, in aggregate, $17.3 billion of print expenditures in 2006, according to Printing Industries of America/Graphic Arts Technical Foundation. In addition, given that the print industry is a global business, over time we intend to evaluate opportunities to access attractive markets outside the United States.

Recent Developments

Acquisitions

In July 2007, we acquired Brown + Partners, Inc., a leading provider of print management services based in suburban Philadelphia.  The acquisition price consisted of $388,615 in cash paid in July 2007 and up to an additional $5 million in cash payable contingent on the achievement of certain performance measures by Brown + Partners, Inc. prior to December 31, 2009.

In October 2007, we acquired Data Flow Media Systems, LP in suburban Dallas and Graphic Resource Group, Inc, outside of Minneapolis. Both Companies provide services which include the procurement and production management of printed and promotional products and related warehousing and fulfilment functions.  As a result of the acquisitions, we broadened our geographic presence and added ten sales executives and their corresponding production teams.

Revenue

We generate revenue through the sale of printed products to our clients. Our revenue was $198.4 million and $99.4 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively, an increase of 99.7%. Our revenue is generated from two different types of clients: enterprise and transactional. Enterprise jobs usually involve higher dollar amounts and volume than transactional jobs. We categorize a client as an enterprise client if we have a contract with the client for the provision of printing services on a recurring basis; if the client has signed an open-ended purchase order, or a series of related purchase orders; or if the client has enrolled in our e-stores program, which enables the client to make online purchases of printing services on a recurring basis. We categorize all other clients as transactional. We enter into contracts with our enterprise clients to provide some or a substantial portion of their printed products on a recurring basis. Our contracts with enterprise clients generally have an open-ended term subject to termination by either party upon prior notice ranging from 90 days to twelve months. Some of our larger enterprise clients have outsourced substantially all of their recurring print needs to us. We provide printed products to our transactional clients on an order-by-order basis. As of September 30, 2007, we had 110 enterprise clients and, for the nine months ended September 30, 2007, we served over 2,376 transactional clients. During the nine months ended September 30, 2007, enterprise clients accounted for 63% of our revenue, while transactional clients accounted for 37% of our revenue.

 

Our revenue consists of the prices paid by our clients for printed products. These prices, in turn, reflect the amounts charged to us by our suppliers plus our gross profit. Our gross profit margin, in the case of some of our enterprise clients, is fixed by contract or, in the case of transactional clients, is negotiated on a job-by-job basis. Once either type of client accepts our pricing terms, the selling price is established and we procure the product for our own account in order to re-sell it to the client. We take full title and risk of loss for the product upon shipment. The finished product is typically shipped directly from the supplier to a destination specified by the client. Upon shipment, our supplier invoices us for its production costs and we invoice our client.

 

13



 

Our revenue from enterprise clients tends to generate lower gross profit margins than our revenue from transactional clients because the gross profit margins established in our contracts with large enterprise clients are generally lower than the gross profit margins we typically realize in our transactional business. Although our enterprise revenue generates lower gross profit margins, our enterprise business tends to be more profitable than our transactional business on an operating profit basis because the commission expense associated with enterprise jobs is generally lower.

The print industry has historically been subject to seasonal sales fluctuations because a substantial number of print orders are placed for the year-end holiday season. We have historically experienced seasonal client buying patterns with a higher percentage of our revenue being earned in our third and fourth quarters. We expect these seasonal revenue patterns to continue.

Cost of Goods Sold and Gross Profit

Our cost of goods sold consists primarily of the price at which we purchase products from our suppliers. Our selling price, including our gross profit, in the case of some of our enterprise jobs, is based on a fixed gross margin established by contract or, in the case of transactional jobs, is determined at the discretion of the account executive or procurement manager within predetermined parameters. Our gross margins on our enterprise jobs are typically lower than our gross margins on our transactional jobs. As a result, our cost of goods sold as a percentage of revenue for our enterprise jobs is typically higher than it is for our transactional jobs. We have early pay discount terms with several of our key suppliers. As we continue to take advantage of the early pay terms, it reduces our overall cost of goods sold and increases our gross margin. Our gross profit for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006 was $50.0 million or 25.2% of revenue and $21.1 million or 21.3% of revenue, respectively.

Operating Expenses and Income from Operations

Commissions paid to our account executives are a significant component of our operating expenses. The commissions we pay to our account executives are based on the gross profit we collect from the clients for which they have responsibility. As a percentage of our gross profit, commissions were 24.3% and 22.0% during the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Commission expense generally fluctuates based on the gross profit of the business. As the overall gross margin increased to 25.2% during the nine months ended September 30, 2007, up from 21.3% during the nine months ended September 30, 2006, commission expense increased as well. This is a result of a higher concentration of transactional business due in part to our acquisitions of Applied Graphics and CoreVision, which are both predominantly transactional revenue businesses.

We accrue for commissions when we recognize the related revenue. Some of our account executives receive a monthly draw to provide them with a more consistent income stream. The cash paid to our account executives in advance of commissions earned is reflected as a prepaid expense on our balance sheet. As our account executives earn commissions, a portion of their commission payment is withheld and offset against their prepaid commission balance, if any. Our prepaid commission balance, net of accrued earned commissions not yet paid, decreased to $262,000 as of September 30, 2007 from $1.6 million as of September 30, 2006.

Our general and administrative expenses consist mainly of compensation costs for our management team and procurement managers. Our general and administrative expenses also include compensation costs for our finance and support employees, public company expenses, corporate systems, and accounting, legal, facilities and travel and entertainment expenses. We have been able to manage our business with relatively low general and administrative expenses. General and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenue were 10.6% and 8.2% for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. The increase is the result of increased salaries and benefits as a percentage of revenue, which increased from 4.9% during the nine months ended September 30, 2006 to 6.4% during the nine months ended September 30, 2007. The increase is a result of continuing to invest in key personnel dedicated to the growth of the business, including sales management and strategic sourcing. Additionally, we have increased salaries and benefits through our recent acquisitions. The increase in general and administrative expenses is also due to an increase in professional fees, which increased from 0.6% of revenue during the nine months ended September 30, 2006 to 1.2% of revenue during the nine months ended September 30, 2007.  This is a result of increased legal and audit fees specifically related to being a public company and becoming Sarbanes-Oxley compliant.

We agree to provide our clients with printed products that conform to the industry standard of a “commercially reasonable quality,” and our suppliers in turn agree to provide us with products of the same quality. In addition, the quotes we execute with our clients include customary industry terms and conditions that limit the amount of our liability for product defects. Product defects have not had a material adverse effect on our results of operations.

We are required to make payment to our suppliers for completed print jobs regardless of whether our clients make payment to us. To date, the failure of our clients to make required payments has not had a material adverse effect on our results of operations. Our bad debt expense was $229,000 and $111,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

Our income from operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006 was $15.2 million and $7.8 million, respectively.

Comparison of three months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006

Revenue

Our revenue increased by $30.4 million, or 72.7%, from $41.8 million during the three months ended September 30, 2006 to $72.1 million during the three months ended September 30, 2007. The revenue growth reflects an increase in both enterprise and transactional clients. Our revenue from enterprise clients increased by $15.8 million, or 50.7%, from $31.2 million during the three months ended September 30, 2006 to $47.0 million during the three months ended September 30, 2007. As of September 30, 2007, we had 110 enterprise clients compared to 86 enterprise clients as of September 30, 2006. Additionally, revenue from transactional clients increased by $14.5 million, or 137.6%, from $10.6 million during the three months ended September 30, 2006 to $25.1 million during the three months ended September 30, 2007. The incremental transactional revenue is largely a result of increasing the number of experienced sales executives. We increased our number of sales executives by 64, or 56.1%, from 114 as of September 30, 2006 to 178 as of September 30, 2007.

Cost of goods sold

Our cost of goods sold increased by $21.6 million, or 66.9%, from $32.2 million during the three months ended September 30, 2006 to $53.8 million during the three months ended September 30, 2007. The increase reflects the revenue growth during the three months ended September 30, 2007. Our cost of goods sold as a percentage of revenue decreased from 77.2% during the three months ended September 30, 2006 to 74.6% during the three months ended September 30, 2007. The decrease is a result of a lower concentration of our business coming from enterprise accounts. During the three months ended September 30, 2006, 75% of our revenue was generated from enterprise accounts compared to 65% during the three months ended September 30, 2007. Additionally, we have early payment terms with many of our suppliers, which we aggressively utilized, thereby reducing our cost of goods sold.

Gross Profit

Our gross profit as a percentage of revenue, which we refer to as gross margin, increased from 22.8% during the three months ended September 30, 2006 to 25.4% during the three months ended September 30, 2007. The increase is the result of a higher concentration of business from transactional accounts, which have higher gross margins, as well as early pay discounts with several of our key suppliers.

Selling, general and administrative expenses

Commission expense increased by $1.7 million, or 73.9%, from $2.3 million during the three months ended September 30, 2006 to $4.0 million during the three months ended September 30, 2007. As a percentage of gross profit, commission expense decreased from 24.1% during the three months ended September 30, 2006 to 21.8% during the three months ended September 30, 2007. Although our transactional business tends to have higher commission rates, the commission expense as a percentage of gross profit decreased during the quarter as a result of a higher concentration of business from clients with lower commission rates.

General and administrative expense increased by $4.5 million, or 132.4%, from $3.4 million during the three months ended September 30, 2006 to $7.9 million during the three months ended September 30, 2007. General and administrative expense increased as a percentage of revenue from 8.1% during the three months ended September 30, 2006 to 10.9% during the three months ended September 30, 2007. The increase is the result of increased salaries and benefits as a percentage of revenue, which increased from 4.8% during the three months ended September 30, 2006 to 6.6% during the three months ended September 30, 2007. The increase is a result of continuing to invest in key personnel dedicated to the growth of the business, including sales management and strategic sourcing. Additionally, we have increased salaries and benefits through our recent acquisitions.  The increase in general and administrative expenses is also due to an increase in professional fees, which increased from 0.4% of revenue during the three months ended September 30, 2006 to 1.3% of revenue during the three months ended September 30, 2007.  This is a result of increased legal and audit fees specifically related to becoming Sarbanes-Oxley compliant.

Depreciation and amortization

Depreciation and amortization expense increased by $401,000, or 166.8%, from $240,000 during the three months ended September 30, 2006 to $641,000 during the three months ended September 30, 2007. The increase in depreciation expense is primarily attributable to purchases of computer hardware and software, equipment and furniture and fixtures as well as amortization of the capitalization of costs of computer software for internal use in accordance with Statement of Position 98-1. The increase in amortization expense is a result of the amortization of the intangible assets acquired in connection with our 2006 purchases of Graphography Limited LLC, CoreVision Group, Inc., and Applied Graphics, Inc., our March 2007 acquisition of Spectrum Printing Services, and our July 2007 acquisition of Brown + Partners, Inc.

Income from operations

Income from operations increased by $2.2 million, or 60.0%, from $3.6 million during the three months ended September 30, 2006 to $5.8 million during the three months ended September 30, 2007. As a percentage of revenue, income from operations decreased from 8.7%

 

15



 

during the three months ended September 30, 2006 to 8.1% during the three months ended September 30, 2007. The decrease in income from operations as a percentage of revenue is a result of an increase in our general and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenue.

Other income and expense

Other income and expense increased $531,000 from $248,000 during the three months ended September 30, 2006 to $779,000 during the three months ended September 30, 2007. The significant increase is due to an increase in interest income from $315,000 during the three months ended September 30, 2006 to $638,000 during the three months ended September 30, 2007. The increase in interest income is largely a result of the capital raised in connection with our initial public offering and follow-on offering. In the initial public offering, completed in August 2006, we sold 7,060,000 shares of our common stock with net proceeds to us, after preference payments, dividend payments and repayment of outstanding indebtedness under our line of credit, of approximately $47.8 million. In the follow-on offering, completed in January 2007, we sold 3,000,000 shares of our common stock with net proceeds to us of approximately $36.8 million. A portion of these proceeds was used to fund acquisitions, with the balance invested in money market funds from the receipt date through September 30, 2007.

Provision for income taxes

Provision for income taxes increased by $1.1 million from $1.5 million during the three months ended September 30, 2006 to $2.6 million during the three months ended September 30, 2007. Our effective tax rate was 39.1% and 39.0% for the three month periods ended September 30, 2006 and 2007, respectively.

Net income

Net income increased by $1.6 million, or 70.1%, from $2.4 million during the three months ended September 30, 2006 to $4.0 million during the three months ended September 30, 2007. Net income as a percentage of revenue decreased from 5.7% during the three months ended September 30, 2006 to 5.6% during the three months ended September 30, 2007. The decrease in net income as a percentage of revenue is a result of an increase in our general and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenue.

Comparison of nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006

Revenue

Our revenue increased by $99.0 million, or 99.7%, from $99.4 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2006 to $198.4 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2007. The revenue growth reflects an increase in both enterprise and transactional clients. Our revenue from enterprise clients increased by $48.9 million, or 64.3%, from $76.2 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2006 to $125.1 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2007. As of September 30, 2007, we had 110 enterprise clients compared to 86 enterprise clients as of September 30, 2006. Additionally, revenue from transactional clients increased by $50.1 million, or 215.8%, from $23.2 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2006 to $73.3 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2007. The incremental transactional revenue is largely a result of increasing the number of experienced sales executives. We increased our number of sales executives by 64, or 56.1%, from 114 as of September 30, 2006 to 178 as of September 30, 2007.

Cost of goods sold

Our cost of goods sold increased by $70.2 million, or 89.7%, from $78.2 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2006 to $148.4 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2007. The increase reflects the revenue growth during the nine months ended September 30, 2007. Our cost of goods sold as a percentage of revenue decreased from 78.7% during the nine months ended September 30, 2006 to 74.8% during the nine months ended September 30, 2007. The decrease is a result of a lower concentration of our business coming from enterprise accounts. During the nine months ended September 30, 2006, 77% of our revenue was generated from enterprise accounts compared to 63% during the nine months ended September 30, 2007. Additionally, we have early payment terms with many of our suppliers, which we aggressively utilized, thereby reducing our cost of goods sold.

Gross Profit

Our gross profit as a percentage of revenue, which we refer to as gross margin, increased from 21.3% during the nine months ended September 2006 to 25.2% during the nine months ended September 30, 2007. The increase is the result of a higher concentration of business from transactional accounts, which have higher gross margins, as well as early pay discounts with several of our key suppliers.

Selling, general and administrative expenses

Commission expense increased by $7.4 million, or 157.4%, from $4.7 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2006 to $12.1 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2007. As a percentage of gross profit, commission expense increased from 22.3% during the nine months ended September 30, 2006 to 24.2% during the nine months ended September 30, 2007. The increase is a result of higher gross profit margin transactional accounts, which generally result in higher commissions to our sales executives.

 

16



 

Our transactional business historically pays higher commission rates than our enterprise business. Our revenue from transactional accounts increased from 23% during the nine months ended September 30, 2006 to 37% during the nine months ended September 30, 2007.

General and administrative expense increased by $13.0 million, or 160.5%, from $8.1 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2006 to $21.1 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2007. General and administrative expense increased as a percentage of revenue from 8.1% during the nine months ended September 30, 2006 to 10.6% during the nine months ended September 30, 2007. The increase is the result of increased salaries and benefits as a percentage of revenue, which increased from 5.0% during the nine months ended September 30, 2006 to 6.4% during the nine months ended September 30, 2007. The increase is a result of continuing to invest in key personnel dedicated to the growth of the business, including sales management and strategic sourcing. Additionally, we have increased salaries and benefits through our recent acquisitions. The increase in general and administrative expenses is also due to an increase in professional fees, which increased from 0.6% of revenue during the nine months ended September 30, 2006 to 1.2% of revenue during the nine months ended September 30, 2007.  This is a result of increased legal and audit fees specifically related to being a public company and becoming Sarbanes-Oxley compliant.

 

Depreciation and amortization

Depreciation and amortization expense increased by $1.0 million, or 175.2%, from $574,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2006 to $1.6 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2007. The increase in depreciation expense is primarily attributable to purchases of computer hardware and software, equipment and furniture and fixtures as well as amortization of the capitalization of costs of computer software for internal use in accordance with Statement of Position 98-1. The increase in amortization expense is a result of the amortization of the intangible assets acquired in connection with our 2006 purchases of Graphography Limited LLC, CoreVision Group, Inc., and Applied Graphics, Inc., our March 2007 acquisition of Spectrum Printing Services, and our July 2007 acquisition of Brown + Partners, Inc.

Income from operations

Income from operations increased by $7.4 million, or 95.1%, from $7.8 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2006 to $15.2 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2007. As a percentage of revenue, income from operations decreased from 7.8% during the nine months ended September 30, 2006 to 7.7% during the nine months ended September 30, 2007. The decrease in income from operations as a percentage of revenue is a result of an increase in our general and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenue.

Other income and expense

Other income and expense increased $1.7 million from $339,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2006 to $2.0 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2007. The significant increase is due to an increase in interest income from $492,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2006 to $1.7 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2007. The increase in interest income is largely a result of the capital raised in connection with our initial public offering and follow-on offering. In the initial public offering, completed in August 2006, we sold 7,060,000 shares of our common stock with net proceeds to us, after preference payments, dividend payments and repayment of outstanding indebtedness under our line of credit, of approximately $47.8 million. In the follow-on offering, completed in January 2007, we sold 3,000,000 shares of our common stock with net proceeds to us of approximately $36.8 million. A portion of these proceeds was used to fund acquisitions, with the balance invested in money market funds from the receipt date through September 30, 2007.

Provision for income taxes

Provision for income taxes increased by $3.5 million from $3.2 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2006 to $6.7 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2007. Our effective tax rate was 39.6% and 38.9% for the nine month periods ended September 30, 2006 and 2007, respectively.

Net income

Net income increased by $5.6 million, or 113.9%, from $4.9 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2006 to $10.5 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2007. Net income as a percentage of revenue increased from 4.9% during the nine months ended September 30, 2006 to 5.3% during the nine months ended September 30, 2007. The increase in net income as a percentage of revenue is a result of an increase in our gross profit margin slightly offset by an increase in our general and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenue.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

In connection with our follow-on offering, we raised approximately $36.8 million net of underwriters’ discounts and commissions and offering related expenses. At September 30, 2007, we had $70.3 million of cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities. Cash equivalents and marketable securities are comprised of asset- and mortgage-backed securities, U.S. government and agency securities and domestic and foreign corporate bonds. Historically, we have financed our operations through private sales of common and preferred equity, bank loans and internally generated cash flow. We believe that our available cash and cash flows generated from operations will be sufficient to satisfy our working capital requirements for the foreseeable future.

Operating Activities. Cash provided by (used in) operating activities primarily consists of net income adjusted for certain non-cash items including depreciation and amortization and the effect of changes in working capital and other activities. Cash provided by operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 was $7.0 million and primarily consisted of net income of $10.5 million and $2.4 million of non-cash items, offset by $6.0 million used to fund working capital and other activities. The most significant impact on working capital and other activities consisted of an increase in accounts receivable of $9.0 million and an increase in unbilled revenue of $4.1 million due to revenue growth, offset by an increase in accounts payable of $8.8 million.

Cash used in operating activities in the nine months ended September 30, 2006 was $7.8 million and primarily consisted of net income of $4.9 million and $12.7 million used in working capital and other activities. The most significant impact on working capital and other activities consisted of an increase in accounts receivable of $10.7 million due to revenue growth with an increase in accounts payable of only $600,000 due to early payment to many of our suppliers.

Investing Activities. Cash used in investing activities in the nine months ended September 30, 2007 of $15.0 million was attributable to the purchase of marketable securities of $5.9 million with a portion of the net proceeds received from our follow-on offering, cash paid for the Spectrum acquisition of $3.6 million, earn-out payments of $2.6 million made in connection with the 2006 acquisitions of CoreVision and Graphography and capital expenditures of $1.3 million.

 

Cash used in investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 of $14 million was attributable to purchases of marketable securities of $10 million with a portion of the net proceeds received from our initial public offering, cash paid for acquisitions of $3 million and capital expenditures of $1 million.

Financing Activities. Cash provided by financing activities in the nine months ended September 30, 2007 of $41.8 million was primarily attributable to the net proceeds received from our follow-on offering, after underwriting discounts and commissions and offering related expenses and the exercise of stock options, of approximately $37.7 million and a tax benefit of stock options exercised of approximately $4.2 million.

Cash provided by financing activities in the nine months ended September 30, 2006 of $53.1 million was primarily attributable to the net proceeds received from our initial public offering, after preference payments, dividend payments and repayment of outstanding indebtedness under our line of credit, of approximately $47.8 million and the proceeds received from our Series E round of financing, net of the subsequent share repurchase, of approximately $10.0 million.

We have a $20.0 million line of credit with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. The line of credit was unused as of September 30, 2007. The $20 million line of credit expires on June 30, 2008. The maximum amount outstanding under our line of credit cannot exceed 80% of the book value of our eligible accounts receivable. Our line of credit contains limitations on our ability to incur indebtedness, create liens and make certain investments. Advances made under our line of credit accrue interest at a per annum rate equal to the prime rate.

We anticipate that our operating expenses will constitute a material use of cash. In addition, we may continue to utilize cash to fund acquisitions of or make strategic investments in complementary businesses and to expand our sales force. Although we can provide no assurances, we believe that the net proceeds from the follow-on public offering we closed in January 2007, together with our available cash and cash equivalents and amounts available under our line of credit, should be sufficient to meet our working capital and operating expenditure requirements for the foreseeable future. Thereafter, we may find it necessary to obtain additional equity or debt financing. In the event additional financing is required, we may not be able to raise it on acceptable terms or at all.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

As of January 1, 2007, the Company adopted the provision of FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes—an Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109, or FIN 48, on January 1, 2007.

There were no additional material changes to the Company’s critical accounting policies and estimates disclosed in its Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006 for the nine months ended September 30, 2007.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements.” SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. This Statement applies under other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements, the FASB having previously concluded in those accounting pronouncements that fair value is the relevant measurement attribute. Accordingly, this Statement does not require any new fair value measurements. SFAS 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years. This Statement is required to be adopted by the Company in the first quarter of 2008. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of adopting SFAS 157.

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities—Including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115” (“SFAS 159”). SFAS 159 expands the use of fair value accounting but does not affect existing standards which require assets or liabilities to be carried at fair value. Under SFAS 159, a company may elect to use fair value to measure accounts and loans receivable, available-for-sale and held-to-maturity securities, equity method investments, accounts payable, guarantees and issued debt. Other eligible items include firm commitments for financial instruments that otherwise would not be recognized at inception and non-cash warranty obligations where a warrantor is permitted to pay a third party to provide the warranty goods or services. If the use of fair value is elected, any upfront costs and fees related to the item must be recognized in earnings and cannot be deferred, e.g., debt issue costs. The fair value election is irrevocable and generally made on an instrument-by-instrument basis, even if a company has similar instruments that it elects not to measure based on fair value. At the adoption date, unrealized gains and losses on existing items for which fair value has been elected are reported as a cumulative adjustment to beginning retained earnings. Subsequent to the adoption of SFAS 159, changes in fair value are recognized in earnings. SFAS 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and is required to be adopted by the Company in the first quarter of 2008. The company currently is determining whether fair value accounting is appropriate for any of its eligible items and cannot estimate the impact, if any, which SFAS 159 will have on its consolidated results of operations and financial condition.

Forward-Looking Statements

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, contains words such as “may,” “will,” “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “plan,” “project,” “estimate” and “objective” or the negative thereof or similar terminology concerning the Company’s future financial performance, business strategy, plans, goals and objectives.

Item 3.                          Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure about Market Risk

Commodity Risk

We are dependent upon the availability of paper and paper prices represent a substantial portion of the cost of our products. The supply and price of paper depends on a variety of factors over which we have no control, including environmental and conservation regulations, natural disasters and weather. Assuming we were unable to pass along price increases in paper to our customers, there would be a risk of margin erosion on future business.

Interest Rate Risk

We have exposure to changes in interest rates on our line of credit. The interest rate on our line of credit fluctuates based on the prime rate. Assuming the $20.0 million line of credit was fully drawn, a 1.0% increase in the prime rate would increase our annual interest expense by $200,000. The $20 million line of credit matures on June 30, 2008.  The line of credit was unused as of September 30, 2007. The maximum amount outstanding under our line of credit cannot exceed 80% of the book value of our eligible accounts receivable. Our line of credit contains limitations on our ability to incur indebtedness, create liens and make certain investments. Advances made under our line of credit accrue interest at a per annum rate equal to the prime rate.

Our interest income is sensitive to changes in the general level of U.S. interest rates, in particular because all of our investments are in cash equivalents and marketable securities.  The average duration of all of our investments as of September 30, 2007 was less than three months.  Due to the short term nature of our investments, we believe that there is no material risk exposure.

We do not use derivative financial instruments for speculative trading purposes.

Item 4.                          Controls and Procedures

Our management, with the participation of our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2007. The term “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the company’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Based on the evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2007, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that, as of such date, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level.

No change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) occurred during the quarter ended September 30, 2007 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1A.                        Risk Factors
