NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
Three Months Ended March 31, 2009
 
1.   Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
 
Basis of Presentation of Interim Financial Statements
 
The accompanying unaudited 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 months ended March 31, 2009 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year of 2009. These condensed interim consolidated financial statements and notes should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto as of December 31, 2008 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 5, 2009.
 
Foreign Currency Translation
 
The functional currency for the Company’s foreign operations is the local currency. Assets and liabilities of these operations are translated into U.S. currency at the rates of exchange at the balance sheet date. The resulting translation adjustments are included in accumulated other comprehensive income, a separate component of stockholders’ equity. Income and expense items are translated at average monthly rates of exchange. Realized gains and losses from foreign currency transactions were not material.
 
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
 
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS 141(R), Business Combinations. This standard significantly changes the accounting for business acquisitions both during the period of the acquisition and in subsequent periods. Among the more significant changes in the accounting for acquisitions are the following:
 
  •  Contingent consideration is recorded at fair value as an element of purchase price with subsequent adjustments recognized in operations. Contingent consideration was previously accounted for as a subsequent adjustment of purchase price.
 
  •  Subsequent decreases in valuation allowances on acquired deferred tax assets are recognized in operations after the measurement period. Such changes were previously considered to be subsequent changes in consideration and were recorded as decreases in goodwill.
 
  •  Transaction costs are expensed. These costs were previously treated as costs of the acquisition.
 
In April 2009, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (FSP) FAS 141(R)-1, Accounting for Assets Acquired and Liabilities Assumed in a Business Combination That Arise from Contingencies, which amends the accounting in SFAS 141(R) for assets and liabilities arising from contingencies in a business combination. The FSP is effective January 1, 2009, and requires pre-acquisition contingencies to be recognized at fair value, if fair value can be reasonably determined during the measurement period. If fair value cannot be reasonably determined, the FSP requires measurement based on the recognition and measurement criteria of SFAS 5, Accounting for Contingencies.
 
The Company adopted SFAS 141(R) and FSP FAS 141(R)-1 on January 1, 2009 and will account for all business acquisitions made subsequent to January 1, 2009 in accordance with these standards.

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 goodwill to the book value of goodwill. The fair value for 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 impairment, the Company has elected to test for goodwill impairment during the fourth quarter of each year, and as a result of the 2008 analysis performed no impairment charges were required.
 
The increase in goodwill for the three months ended March 31, 2009 is the result of goodwill acquired as a result of business acquisitions completed during the three months ended March 31, 2009 of $5,670,518, which includes goodwill recorded for a contingent earn-out payment of $4,900,000, offset by a change in net assets acquired of $13,485.
 
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 fourteen years, four years and twelve years, respectively.
 
The following is a summary of the intangible assets:

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) — (Continued)
 
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
 
In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued FAS 157, “Fair Value Measurements,” which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. In February 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. 157-b, “Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157” (FSP 157-b), which provides a one-year deferral of the effective date of FAS 157 for non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities, except those that are recognized or disclosed in the financial statements at fair value at least annually. In accordance with this interpretation, the Company has only adopted FAS 157 with respect to its financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value within the financial statements as of January 1, 2008. The adoption of FAS 157 did not have a material impact on the Company’s fair value measurements. The provisions of FAS 157 have not been applied to non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities.
 
In February 2007, the FASB issued FAS 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities — including an amendment to FASB Statement No. 115,” which permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value that are not currently required to be measured at fair value. The Company adopted this statement as of October 1, 2008 and has elected to apply the fair value option to a put option relating to its auction-rate securities (refer to Note 6 for more information on auction-rate securities). See Note 5 for additional information on fair value measurements.
 
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 non-vested 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 three month period ended March 31, 2008 and 2009, the Company issued 207,380 and 94,087 options, respectively to various employees of the Company. In addition, during the three month period ended March 31, 2008 and 2009, the Company granted 467,392 and 47,079 common shares of restricted stock, respectively, to employees. During the three month period ended March 31, 2008 and 2009, 240,274 and 113,192 options were exercised and restricted common shares vested, respectively. The Company used the Black-Scholes option valuation model and the assumptions listed below to determine the fair value of options granted during the first quarter of 2008 and 2009. The Company recorded $574,817 and $919,755 in compensation expense for the three month periods ended March 31, 2008 and 2009, respectively.
 
All stock-based compensation expense is recorded net of an estimated forfeiture rate. The forfeiture rate is based upon historical activity and is analyzed at least quarterly and as actual forfeitures occur.
 
The following assumptions were utilized in the valuation for options granted in 2008 and 2009:
 
                 
    2008     2009  
 
Dividend yield
    —%       —%  
Risk-free interest rate

2.   Earnings Per Share
 
Basic earnings per common share is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted average shares outstanding plus share equivalents that would arise from the exercise of share options and the vesting of restricted common shares. During the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2009, 798,772 and 2,885,910 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 months ended March 31, 2008 and 2009 are as follows:

In the ordinary course, the Company also provides print procurement services to Echo. The total amount billed for such print procurement services during the three months ending March 31, 2008 was approximately $37,000. The Company did not provide any print procurement services to Echo during the three months ending March 31, 2009. In addition, Echo has provided transportation services to the Company. As consideration for these services, Echo billed the Company $485,000 and $842,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2009, respectively. The net amount payable to Echo at March 31, 2009 was $591,339.

Five members of the Company’s Board of Directors, Eric P. Lefkofsky, John R. Walter, Peter J. Barris, Jack M. Greenberg and Linda S. Wolf, are also directors of MediaBank. In addition, a majority of the members of the Company’s Board of Directors have a direct and/or indirect ownership interest in MediaBank. MediaBank paid the Company approximately $67,000 in lease payments for the three months ended March 31, 2009.
 
5.   Fair Value Measurement
 
As discussed in Note 1, Fair Value of Financial Instruments, the Company adopted Statement 157 on January 1, 2008 for their financial assets and financial liabilities. Statement 157 requires enhanced disclosures about assets and liabilities measured at fair value. The Company’s financial assets primarily relate to their auction-rate securities.
 
The Company utilizes the market approach to measure fair value for its financial assets and liabilities. The market approach uses prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets or liabilities.
 
Statement 157 includes a fair value hierarchy that is intended to increase consistency and comparability in fair value measurements and related disclosures. The fair value hierarchy is based on observable or unobservable inputs to valuation techniques that are used to measure fair value. Observable inputs reflect assumptions market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability based on market data obtained from independent sources while unobservable inputs reflect a reporting entity’s pricing based upon its own market assumptions. The fair value hierarchy consists of the following three levels:
 
  •  Level 1:  Inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
 
  •  Level 2:  Inputs are quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in an active market, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, and inputs other than quoted prices that are observable and market-corroborated inputs, which are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data.
 
  •  Level 3:  Inputs that are derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or value drivers are unobservable.
 
The Company adopted SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial-Liabilities, as of October 1, 2008 and has elected to apply the fair value option to a put option relating to its auction-rate securities (refer to Note 6 for more information on auction-rate securities).

The Company’s investments in student loan auction-rate securities and the related put option are its only Level 3 assets. The fair values of these securities and related put option are estimated utilizing a discounted cash flow analysis as of March 31, 2009. This analysis considers, among other items, the collateral underlying the security investments, the creditworthiness of the counterparty, the timing of expected future cash flows, and the expectation of the next time the security is expected to have a successful auction. These securities were also compared, when possible, to other observable market data with similar characteristics to the securities held by the Company.
 
The following table sets forth the Company’s financial assets and financial liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis and the basis of measurement at March 31, 2009:

6.   Auction-Rate Securities
 
At March 31, 2009, the Company’s long-term investments were composed of $13,989,838 in auction-rate securities (“ARS”). While the underlying securities generally have long-term nominal maturities that exceed one year, the interest rates on these investments reset periodically in scheduled auctions (generally every 7-35 days). The Company has the opportunity to sell its investments during such periodic auctions subject to buyer availability.
 
During February 2008, liquidity issues in the global credit markets resulted in the failure of auctions, involving substantially all of the auction-rate securities (ARS) the Company holds. In October 2008, the Company entered into an agreement with UBS regarding its outstanding ARS. Under the agreement, the Company has the right to sell all of its outstanding ARS back to UBS at par value. The agreement allows the Company to exercise this non-transferable right starting June 30, 2010 and the right will expire on July 2, 2012. UBS also has the right to buy the


11


Table of Contents

 
InnerWorkings, Inc.
 
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) — (Continued)
 
ARS at par value from the Company at any time. By accepting this put option, the Company demonstrated it no longer has the intent to hold the related UBS-brokered ARS until they fully recover in value (including until contractual maturity, if necessary). Therefore, the decline in the fair value of the UBS-brokered ARS below their par value as of September 30, 2008 that was previously considered a temporary unrealized loss and included in other comprehensive income was considered other-than-temporary and was included in earnings as a realized loss, in accordance with SFAS No. 115, Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities for the year-ended December 31, 2008.
 
The Company has elected the fair value measurement option under SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Liabilities, for this asset. At March 31, 2009, the Company’s ARS portfolio which has a par value of $15,875,000 was carried at fair value of $13,989,838, while the related put option having a fair value of $1,834,858. In the absence of observable market data, the Company used a discounted cash flow model to determine the estimated fair value of its ARS and related put option at March 31, 2009. Refer to Note 5 for additional information on the fair value of auction-rate securities and related put option.
 
7.   Revolving Credit Facility
 
On May 21, 2008, the Company entered into a Credit Agreement with JPMorgan Chase, N.A that matures on May 21, 2011. The Credit Agreement provides for a senior secured revolving credit facility in an initial aggregate principal amount of up to $75.0 million. Outstanding borrowings under the revolving credit facility are guaranteed by the Company’s material domestic subsidiaries. The Company’s obligations under the Credit Agreement and such domestic subsidiaries’ guaranty obligations are secured by substantially all of their respective assets. Interest is payable at the adjusted LIBOR rate or the alternate base rate, as elected by the Company. The terms of the revolving credit facility include various covenants, including covenants that require the Company to maintain a maximum leverage ratio and a minimum interest coverage ratio. As of March 31, 2009, the Company was not in violation of any of these various covenants. The borrowings may be used for general corporate and working capital purposes of the Company and its subsidiaries in the ordinary course of business, for permitted acquisitions, for capital expenditures and for restricted payments, including the repurchase of shares of the Company’s common stock, as permitted pursuant to the terms of the agreement. As of March 31, 2009, the Company had outstanding borrowings of $42.0 million and availability of approximately $30.0 million under this facility.
 
8.   Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
 
In April 2009, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1, “Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments” (“FSP 107-1”). FSP 107-1 relates to fair value disclosures in public entity financial statements for financial instruments that are within the scope of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 107, “Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments” (“SFAS 107”). This guidance increases the frequency of those disclosures, requiring public entities to provide the disclosures on a quarterly basis (rather than annually). The quarterly disclosures are intended to provide financial statement users with more timely information about the effects of current market conditions on an entity’s financial instruments that are not otherwise reported at fair value. FSP 107-1 is effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009. FSP 107-1 must be applied prospectively. The Company does not believe the adoption of FSP 107-1 will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

Item 2.   Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
 
Overview
 
We are a leading provider of managed print and promotional procurement solutions to corporate clients across a wide range of industries. We combine the talent of our employees with our proprietary technology, extensive supplier base and domain expertise to procure, manage and deliver printed products as part of a comprehensive outsourced enterprise solution. 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, PPM4tm, 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 print jobs. As a result, we believe PPM4tm 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 our print jobs with suppliers that are optimally suited to meet the client’s needs at a highly competitive price.
 
Through our supplier base of over 7,000 suppliers, we offer a full range of print, fulfillment and logistics services that allow us 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 all 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 maintain sales offices in New York, New Jersey, California, Hawaii, Michigan, Minnesota, Texas, Pennsylvania, Georgia, Wisconsin, Missouri, Ohio and the United Kingdom. We believe the opportunity exists to expand our business into new geographic markets. Our objective is to continue to increase our sales in the major print markets in the United States and Europe. We intend to hire or acquire more account executives within close proximity to these large markets. In addition, given that the print industry is a global business, over time we intend to evaluate opportunities to access other attractive markets outside the United States.
 
Revenue
 
We generate revenue through the sale of printed products to our clients. Our revenue was $94.3 million and $87.2 million during the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively, an increase of 8.1%. 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. Several 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 March 31, 2009, we had 150 enterprise clients and, for the three months ended March 31, 2009, we have served over 3,000 transactional clients. During the three months ended March 31, 2009, enterprise clients accounted for 65% of our revenue, while transactional clients accounted for 35% 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.


13


Table of Contents

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.
 
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.
 
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. Our gross profit for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008 was $23.0 million, or 24.4% of revenue, and $21.6 million, or 24.7% of revenue, respectively.
 
Operating Expenses and Income from Operations
 
Our selling, general and administrative expenses consist of commissions paid to our account executives, compensation costs for our management team and procurement managers as well as compensation costs for our finance and support employees, public company expenses, corporate systems, legal and accounting, facilities and travel and entertainment expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenue were 21.9% and 17.3% for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenue is the result of our 2008 acquisitions, which increased our selling, general and administrative expenses, combined with sluggish revenue growth from poor macroeconomic conditions in the first quarter of 2009.
 
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, increased to $3.8 million as of March 31, 2009 from $1.9 million as of March 31, 2008.
 
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 provide 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.
 
Our income from operations for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008 was $896,000 and $5.8 million, respectively.
 
Comparison of three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008
 
Revenue
 
Our revenue increased by $7.1 million, or 8.1%, from $87.2 million during the three months ended March 31, 2008 to $94.3 million during the three months ended March 31, 2009. The revenue growth reflects an increase in both enterprise and transactional clients. Our revenue from enterprise clients increased by $5.8 million, or 10.4%, from $55.6 million during the three months ended March 31, 2008 to $61.4 million during the three months ended

Table of Contents

March 31, 2009. As of March 31, 2009, we had 150 enterprise clients compared to 121 enterprise clients under contract as of March 31, 2008. Additionally, revenue from transactional clients increased by $1.3 million, or 4.2%, from $31.6 million during the three months ended March 31, 2008 to $32.9 million during the three months ended March 31, 2009. The incremental transactional revenue is largely a result of increasing the number of experienced sales executives. We increased our number of sales executives by 52, or 22.4%, from 232 as of March 31, 2008 to 284 as of March 31, 2009.
 
Our revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2009 includes an organic decline of 19%, which is the result of growth from new enterprise accounts offset by a decrease in revenue from our existing customers.
 
Cost of goods sold
 
Our cost of goods sold increased by $5.6 million, or 8.6%, from $65.6 million during the three months ended March 31, 2008 to $71.3 million during the three months ended March 31, 2009. The increase is a result of the revenue growth during the three months ended March 31, 2009. Our cost of goods sold as a percentage of revenue increased slightly from 75.3% during the three months ended March 31, 2008 to 75.6% during the three months ended March 31, 2009.
 
Gross Profit
 
Our gross profit as a percentage of revenue, which we refer to as gross margin, decreased from 24.7% during the three months ended March 31, 2008 to 24.4% during the three months ended March 31, 2009. The 30 basis point decrease is primarily the result of a higher concentration of our business coming from enterprise clients, which generate lower gross margins.
 
Selling, general and administrative expenses
 
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $5.6 million, or 37.0%, from $15.1 million during the three months ended March 31, 2008 to $20.6 million during the three months ended March 31, 2009. As a percentage of revenue, selling, general and administrative expenses increased from 17.3% for the three months ended March 31, 2008 to 21.9% for the three months ended March 31, 2009. The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenue is the result of our 2008 acquisitions, which increased our selling, general and administrative expenses, combined with sluggish revenue growth from poor macroeconomic conditions in the first quarter of 2009.
 
Depreciation and amortization
 
Depreciation and amortization expense increased by $772,000, or 106.9%, from $723,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2008 to $1.5 million during the three months ended March 31, 2009. The increase in depreciation expense is primarily attributable to additions of computer hardware and software, equipment and furniture and fixtures as well as amortization of the capitalized costs of internal use software. The increase in amortization expense is a result of the amortization of the intangible assets acquired in our 2008 acquisitions.
 
Income from operations
 
Income from operations decreased by $4.9 million, or 84.5%, from $5.8 million during the three months ended March 31, 2008 to $896,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2009. As a percentage of revenue, income from operations decreased from 6.6% during the three months ended March 31, 2008 to 1.0% during the three months ended March 31, 2009. The decrease in income from operations as a percentage of revenue is a result of a decrease in our gross profit margin as well as an increase in our selling, general and administrative expenses and depreciation and amortization expenses as a percentage of revenue.


15


Table of Contents

Other income and expense
 
Other expense increased by $1.1 million to $492,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2009. The increase is due to a decrease in interest income of $311,000 from $406,000 to $94,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2009, respectively, and an increase in interest expense of $442,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2009.
 
Provision for income taxes
 
Provision for income taxes decreased by $2.4 million from $2.5 million during the three months ended March 31, 2008 to $155,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2009. Our effective tax rate was 39.4% and 38.4% for the three month periods ended March 31, 2008 and 2009, respectively.
 
Net income
 
Net income decreased by $3.6 million, or 93.6%, from $3.9 million during the three months ended March 31, 2008 to $248,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2009. Net income as a percentage of revenue decreased from 4.4% during the three months ended March 31, 2008 to 0.3% during the three months ended March 31, 2009.
 
Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
At March 31, 2009, we had $5.0 million of cash and cash equivalents and $14.0 million in auction-rate securities. The auction-rate securities are variable rate debt instruments, having long-term maturity dates (typically 15 to 40 years), but whose interest rates are reset through an auction process, most commonly at intervals of seven, 28 and 35 days. In mid-February 2008, liquidity issues in the global credit markets resulted in the failure of auctions, involving substantially all of the auction-rate securities we hold. Substantially all of our auction-rate securities are backed by pools of student loans guaranteed by the U.S. Department of Education. In October 2008, we entered into an agreement with UBS regarding our outstanding auction-rate securities. Under the agreement, we have the right to sell all of our outstanding auction-rate securities back to UBS at their par value. The agreement allows us to exercise this right starting June 30, 2010, and the right will expire on July 2, 2012. As a result of this agreement, our auction-rate securities are classified as long-term investments.
 
Operating Activities.  Cash provided by 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 three months ended March 31, 2009 was $7.7 million and primarily consisted of $3.6 million of non-cash items and $3.8 million provided by working capital and other activities. The most significant impact on working capital and other activities consisted of a decrease in unbilled revenue of $4.0 million and an increase in accounts payable of $13.7 million offset by a decrease in accrued expenses and other liabilities of $10.3 million.
 
Cash provided by operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2008 was $1.8 million and primarily consisted of net income of $3.9 million and $2.6 million of non-cash items, offset by $4.6 million used to fund working capital and other activities. The most significant impact on working capital and other activities consisted of a decrease in accounts receivable of $7.7 million resulting from cash collections offset by decreases in accounts payable of $6.3 million due to early payments to vendors and accrued expenses and other liabilities of $4.8 million.
 
Investing Activities.  Cash used in investing activities in the three months ended March 31, 2009 of $6.1 million was attributable to the $3.8 million in payments made in connection with our acquisitions completed during the three months ended March 31, 2009 and capital expenditures of $2.4 million.
 
Cash used in investing activities in the three months ended March 31, 2008 of $23,000 was attributable to the proceeds on sale of marketable securities of $2.4 million, offset by $1.2 million in payments made in connection with our 2007 acquisitions and capital expenditures of $1.2 million.

Financing Activities.  Cash used in financing activities in the three months ended March 31, 2009 of $477,000 was primarily attributable to the repayment of $590,000 of borrowings under our revolving credit facility, offset by $100,000 in tax benefit of stock options exercised.
 
Cash provided by financing activities in the three months ended March 31, 2008 of $1.0 million was primarily attributable to a tax benefit of stock options exercised of $900,000 and the proceeds related to the exercise of stock options of $123,000.
 
We have a $75.0 million revolving credit facility with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A that matures on May 21, 2011. As of March 31, 2009, we had outstanding borrowings of $42.0 million and availability of approximately $30.0 million under this facility. Outstanding borrowings under the revolving credit facility are guaranteed by our material domestic subsidiaries. Our obligations under the revolving credit facility and our material domestic subsidiaries’ guaranty obligations are secured by substantially all of our respective assets. Interest is payable at the adjusted LIBOR rate or the alternate base rate, as elected by us. The terms of the revolving credit facility include various covenants, including covenants that require us to maintain a maximum leverage ratio and a minimum interest coverage ratio. As of March 31, 2009, we were not in violation of any of these various covenants. Outstanding borrowings may be used for general corporate and working capital purposes of the Company and our subsidiaries in the ordinary course of business, for permitted acquisitions, for capital expenditures and for restricted payments, including the repurchase of shares of our common stock, as permitted pursuant to the terms of the revolving credit facility.
 
We will 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 our available cash and cash equivalents and amounts available under our revolving credit facility 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.
 
Off-Balance Sheet Obligations
 
We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
 
In April 2009, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1, “Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments” (“FSP 107-1”). FSP 107-1 relates to fair value disclosures in public entity financial statements for financial instruments that are within the scope of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 107, “Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments” (“SFAS 107”). This guidance increases the frequency of those disclosures, requiring public entities to provide the disclosures on a quarterly basis (rather than just annually). The quarterly disclosures are intended to provide financial statement users with more timely information about the effects of current market conditions on an entity’s financial instruments that are not otherwise reported at fair value. FSP 107-1 is effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009. FSP 107-1 must be applied prospectively. We do not believe the adoption of FSP 107-1 will have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
 
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. These expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements include information concerning the Company’s possible or assumed future performance or results of operations and are not guarantees. While these statements are based on assumptions and judgments that management has made in light of industry experience as well as perceptions of historical trends, current conditions, expected future developments and other factors believed to be appropriate under the circumstances, they are subject to risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause the Company’s actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different. Some of the factors that would cause future results to differ from the recent results or those projected in forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, the risk factors described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008.
 
Additional Information
 
The Company makes its Annual Reports on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, Current Reports on Form 8-K, other reports and information filed with the SEC and amendments to those reports available, free of charge, through its Internet website (http://www.inwk.com) as soon as reasonably practical after it electronically files or furnishes such materials to the SEC. All of the Company’s filings may be read or copied at the SEC’s Public Reference Room at 450 Fifth Street, NW, Washington, DC 20549. Information on the operation of the Public Filing Room can be obtained by calling the SEC at 1-800-SEC-0330.

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 depend on a variety of factors over which we have no control, including environmental and conservation regulations, natural disasters and weather. We believe a 10% increase in the price of paper would not have a significant effect on the Company’s consolidated statements of income or cash flows, as these costs are generally passed through to our clients.
 
Interest Rate Risk
 
We have exposure to changes in interest rates on our revolving credit facility. Interest is payable at the adjusted LIBOR rate or the alternate base. Assuming the $75.0 million revolving credit facility was fully drawn, a 1.0% increase in the interest rate would increase our annual interest expense by $750,000. The terms of the revolving credit facility include various covenants, including covenants that require us to maintain a maximum leverage ratio

and a minimum interest coverage ratio. Outstanding borrowings may be used for general corporate and working capital purposes in the ordinary course of business, for permitted acquisitions, for capital expenditures and for restricted payments, including the repurchase of shares of our common stock, as permitted pursuant to the terms of the revolving credit facility.
 
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.
 
Foreign Currency Risk
 
A portion of our sales and earnings are attributable to operations conducted outside of the United States. The United States dollar value of sales and earnings of these operations varies with currency exchange rate fluctuations.
 
We do not use derivative financial instruments.
 
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 March 31, 2009. 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 Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (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 March 31, 2009, 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 first quarter ended March 31, 2009 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting
 
PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
 
Item 1.   Legal Proceedings
 
We are not a party to any legal proceedings that we believe would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or operating results.
 
Item 1A.   Risk Factors
 
There have been no material changes in the risk factors described in Item 1A (“Risk Factors”) of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008.
