Item 1. Financial Statements.
     On July 8, 2009, our shareholders approved an amendment to our Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, to change our name from Bio-Imaging Technologies, Inc. to BioClinica, Inc.

     Certain information and footnote disclosures required under generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted from the following consolidated financial statements pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, although we believe that such financial disclosures are adequate so that the information presented is not misleading in any material respect. The following consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the year-end consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008.

Note 1 — Interim Financial Statements
Basis of Presentation.
     On July 8, 2009, our shareholders approved an amendment to our Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, to change our name from Bio-Imaging Technologies, Inc. to BioClinica, Inc.
     The financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q have been prepared by us, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008.
     In the opinion of management, the accompanying consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments, consisting solely of those which are of a normal recurring nature, necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim periods.
     Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for the full fiscal year.
     Certain reclassifications have been made to the 2008 financial statements to conform to the 2009 financial statement presentation. We have reclassed the amortization of intangible assets related to acquisitions as a separate component of the consolidated statements of income.
     The Balance Sheet at December 31, 2008 includes Phoenix Data Systems, Inc., a Pennsylvania corporation, hereinafter referred to as PDS, due to the acquisition of PDS by BioClinica on March 24, 2008. The Consolidated Statement of Income for the six months ended June 30, 2008 excludes the financial results of PDS from the acquisition date of March 24, 2008 through March 31, 2008 due to the immateriality of PDS’s results of operations for that period.

Functional Currency.
     The functional currency for our French and Netherlands operations is the Euro based on our initial and periodic evaluations of economic factors as set forth in Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Statement No. 52, “Foreign Currency Translation” (SFAS 52).
Note 2 — Restructuring charges
     In the second quarter of 2009, in order to streamline the operations and reduce costs, Management decided to eliminate certain positions and consolidate redundant departments. This resulted in restructuring charges of $466,000 consisting of $439,000 in employee severance and $27,000 in other close down costs.
The Company has paid $55,000 of the restructuring cost as of June 30, 2009 and $411,000 remaining to be paid is included in Accrued Expense and Other Current Liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. The $411,000 remaining to be paid of the restructuring cost primarily consists of the severance to employees and will all be paid out by December 31, 2009. The Company expects to realize an annual savings of $1.6 million from the restructuring.

renewable on an annual basis. The aggregate amount due from January 1, 2009 through the expiration under these agreements was $1,209,156.
Note 6 — Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
     We maintain allowances for doubtful accounts on a specific identification method for estimated losses resulting from the inability of our customers to make required payments. If the financial condition of our customers were to deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of our customers’ ability to make payments, additional allowances may be required. We do not have any off-balance-sheet credit exposure related to our customers, and the trade accounts receivable do not bear interest.

Note 7 — Income Taxes
     The Company records a valuation allowance to reduce its deferred tax assets to an amount that is more likely than not to be realized. In assessing the need for the valuation allowance, the Company considers future taxable income and on-going prudent and feasible tax planning strategies. In the event that the Company was to determine that, in the future, they would be able to realize the deferred tax assets in excess of its net recorded amount, an adjustment to the deferred tax asset would be made, thereby increasing net income in the period such determination was made. Likewise, should the Company determine that it is more likely than not that it will be unable to realize all or part of the net deferred tax asset in the future, an adjustment to the deferred tax asset would be charged, thereby decreasing net income in the period such determination was made.
     The Company has accumulated tax losses, which include allowable deductions related to exercised employee stock options, generating federal net operating loss (NOL) credit carryforwards of $1.1 million as of June 30, 2009. These losses will expire, if unused, in the years 2009 through 2022. Under limitations imposed by Internal Revenue Code Section 382, certain potential changes in ownership of the Company, which may be outside the Company’s knowledge or control, may restrict future utilization of these NOL credit carryforwards. GAAP requires that the Company establish a valuation allowance for any portion of its deferred tax assets for which management believes that it is more likely than not the Company will be unable to utilize the asset to offset future taxes. The Company will

continue to evaluate the potential use of its deferred tax assets and the need for a valuation allowance by considering future taxable income and on-going prudent and feasible tax planning strategies. Subsequent revisions to the estimated realizable value of the deferred tax assets could cause the provision for income taxes to vary significantly from period to period, although the cash tax payments would remain unaffected until the NOL credit carryforward is fully utilized or has expired. Our deferred tax assets are primarily comprised of the temporary book to tax differences related to deferred revenue.
     The Company recognizes contingent liabilities for any tax related exposures when those exposures are reasonably possible.
     For the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, the tax benefit of the stock option deductions recorded to additional paid in capital was $0 and $50,000, respectively.
     The Company has not provided for U.S. federal income and foreign withholding taxes on approximately $2.9 million of undistributed earnings from its non-U.S. operations as of June 30, 2009 because such earnings are intended to be reinvested indefinitely outside of the United States.
     We apply FASB Interpretation No. 48 “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes” (FIN 48). FIN 48 prescribes a recognition threshold that a tax position is required to meet before being recognized in the financial statements.
     There were no material unrecognized tax benefits as of June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008. We do not expect the unrecognized tax benefit to materially change during the next 12 months. Any interest and penalties incurred on settlements of outstanding tax positions would be recorded as a component of tax expense. We file our tax returns as prescribed by the tax laws of the jurisdictions in which we operate. Our federal tax returns for years 2005 through 2007 are subject to examination. Our state taxes for years 2000 through 2007 are subject to examination. Our foreign taxes for years 2002 through 2006 are subject to examination by the respective authorities.
Note 8 — Acquisition
          On March 24, 2008, BioClinica acquired Phoenix Data Systems, Inc. (“PDS”) to expand our pharmaceutical services in the area of electronic data capture and other eClinical data solutions to our clients (the “Acquisition”). The Acquisition was made pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “PDS Merger Agreement”), dated March 24, 2008, by and among the Company, BioClinica Acquisition Corporation, a Pennsylvania corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“Merger Sub”), and PDS and its Stockholders’ Representative. Pursuant to the terms of the PDS Merger Agreement, PDS merged with and into Merger Sub. Following the consummation of the Acquisition, PDS ceased to exist and Merger Sub became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. In connection with the Acquisition, the Company also entered into employment agreements with members of the senior management team of PDS. However, none of these individuals are executive officers of the Company.
     Under the terms of the PDS Merger Agreement, the Company acquired all of PDS’s outstanding capital stock. The total consideration paid by the Company to the PDS stockholders was $23.9 million, comprised of $6.9 million in cash and 2.3 million shares of common stock, par value $0.00025 per share,

of the Company, with an average closing price per share over the last 30 trading days ending and including March 19, 2008 of $7.42. The aggregate purchase price was subject to a post-closing adjustment based on the Tangible Net Worth (as defined in the PDS Merger Agreement) of PDS on the Closing Date (as defined in the PDS Merger Agreement). Pursuant to the terms of the PDS Merger Agreement, five percent of the aggregate consideration was held in escrow for the finalization of the Closing Tangible Net Worth Statement (as defined in the PDS Merger Agreement). On June 13, 2008, BioClinica and the Stockholders’ Representative agreed to a decrease of $230,000 to the purchase price due to the minimum threshold to the Closing Tangible Net Worth Statement not being achieved. BioClinica received $64,000 in cash back in June 2008 and 22,453 shares of our common stock back in July 2008 from the purchase price escrow. Additionally, ten percent of the aggregate consideration was to be held in escrow to cover any potential indemnification claims under the PDS Merger Agreement for a period ending no later than March 31, 2009. There were no indemnification claims and this amount was paid to the stockholders in April 2009. We also incurred approximately $1.1 million in Acquisition costs. At the Acquisition date, the stock was recorded at an average price of $7.04 per share.
     In connection with the Acquisition, the stockholders of PDS entered into various agreements. The stockholders of PDS executed stockholders’ agreements, whereby each stockholder agreed, among other things, to approve the Acquisition and not to compete in the business area occupied by PDS at the time of the Acquisition for a reasonable period of time. All stockholders executed lockup agreements, whereby all stockholders agreed not to directly or indirectly sell, or otherwise dispose of any shares of the Company’s common stock received pursuant to the PDS Merger Agreement for a period of 180 days after the Closing Date (the “Initial Lockup Period Date”), and certain additional stockholders agreed not to directly or indirectly offer, sell, contract to sell, pledge, grant any option to purchase, make any short sale or otherwise dispose of 67% of the shares of the Company’s common stock received pursuant to the PDS Merger Agreement for a period beginning on the Initial Lockup Period Date and continuing to and including the date of the first anniversary of the Closing Date.

Note 9 — Discontinued Operations and Assets Held for Sale
     In the fourth quarter of 2008, the Company classified its interest in the CapMed business as held for sale. On January 6, 2009, pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement by and among the Company and MBI Benefits, Inc. (the “Purchaser”), an indirectly owned subsidiary of Metavante Technologies, Inc. (“Metavante”), dated as of January 6, 2009 (the “Agreement”), the Company sold its CapMed Division, including the division’s Personal Health Record (“PHR”) software and the patent-pending Personal HealthKey™ technology, to Metavante. Under the terms of the Agreement, Metavante paid the Company an upfront payment of five hundred thousand dollars ($500,000) in cash and will make an earn-out payment to the Company based upon a percentage of the gross revenues recognized by Metavante for contracts entered into with certain “prospects” set forth on a schedule during certain time periods in 2009 and 2010. The Company will receive 25% of the gross revenues recognized by Metavante during any period ending on or prior to December 31, 2010 from the sale pursuant to any contract the Purchaser entered into with certain “prospects” during the first six months of 2009. Additionally, the Company will receive 15% of the gross revenues recognized by Metavante during any period ending on or prior to December 31, 2010 from the sale pursuant to any contract the Purchaser enters into with certain

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
Overview
     On July 8, 2009, our shareholders approved an amendment to our Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, to change our name from Bio-Imaging Technologies, Inc. to BioClinica, Inc.
     BioClinica, Inc. is a global clinical trials service organization, providing medical image management and eClinical services, including electronic data capture and clinical data management solutions, to pharmaceutical, biotechnology, medical device companies and other organizations, including contract research organizations (CROs), engaged in clinical trials.
     Our medical image management services assist our clients in the design and management of the medical imaging component of clinical trials. We have developed specialized services and proprietary software applications that enable independent radiologists and other medical specialists involved in clinical trials to review medical image data in an entirely digital format and make highly precise measurements and biostatistical inferences to evaluate the efficacy and safety of pharmaceuticals, biologics or medical devices. Medical imaging is used for clinical development of therapeutic modalities for use in oncology, disorders of the musculoskeletal, central nervous, cardiovascular systems, and in a variety of other disease categories.
     Our core laboratory imaging services include the collection, processing, analysis and regulatory submission of medical images and related clinical data. Medical images are received from a wide variety of imaging modalities including computerized tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), radiography, dual energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA/DEXA), positron emission tomography (PET), single photon emission computerized tomography (SPECT), quantitative coronary angiography (QCA), cardiac MRI and CT, intravascular ultrasound (IVUS), peripheral quantitative angiography (QVA), central nervous system (CNS) MRI and ultrasound. The resulting data enables our clients and regulatory reviewers, primarily the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and comparable European agencies, to evaluate product efficacy and safety.
     On March 24, 2008, we completed the acquisition of Phoenix Data Systems, referred to herein as PDS, a provider of electronic data capture (EDC) services offering a comprehensive array of eClinical data solutions to the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries. PDS is engaged in providing full service EDC, a combination of electronic data capture, interactive voice response, reporting and data management solutions and is focused on making the process of collecting and analyzing data from clinical trials faster, easier and more reliable.
     Our eClinical services offer a variety of customizable proprietary software solutions that enhance pharmaceutical and biotech companies’ ability to process and store clinical data through the use of customized proprietary software and hosting service. This technology improves data quality and allows our sponsors to see the results of their clinical trials faster and more accurately than with conventional paper-based methods.
     Our sales cycle, referring to the period from the presentation by us to a potential client to the engagement of us by such client, has historically ranged from three to 12 months. In addition, the contracts under which we perform services typically cover a period of three to 60 months and the volume and type of services performed by us generally vary during the course of a project. We cannot assure you that our project revenues will be at levels sufficient to maintain profitability.

-16-


 

     Our contracted/committed backlog, referred to as backlog, is the expected service revenue that remains to be earned and recognized on both signed and verbally agreed to contracts. Our backlog as of June 30, 2009, which includes our medical image management and eClinical services, was $94.1 million compared to $93.3 million at March 31, 2009 and $115.8 million at June 30, 2008.
     Contracts included in backlog are subject to termination by our clients at any time. In the event that a contract is cancelled by the client, we would be entitled to receive payment for all services performed up to the cancellation date. The duration of the projects included in our backlog range from less than three months to seven years. We do not believe that backlog is a reliable predictor of future results because service revenues may be incurred in a given period on contracts that were not included in the previous reporting period’s backlog and/or contract cancellations or project delays may occur in a given period on contracts that were included in the previous reporting period’s backlog.
     We believe that the short-term market for our services has been adversely impacted by pharmaceutical companies’ response to overall economic conditions, resulting in some contract decisions being delayed and major projects being split into smaller components as part of a revised budgetary approval process. On a long term basis, we believe that the recognition within the bio-pharmaceutical industry of the operational efficiency and scalable reliability of using an independent centralized core laboratory for analysis of medical-imaging data and compliance with the regulatory demands for the submission of such data will continue to drive demand for our services. We also believe that rapidly growing recognition of the inherent advantages of eClinical/EDC technology to standardize and accelerate reliable data flow from the clinical trial sites to the clinical trial sponsor will further drive the adoption and growth of our eClinical service offerings. We believe our eClinical services favorably compare to the traditional process of manual data collection on paper case report forms that are more susceptible to transcription and other data entry errors.
Forward Looking Statements
     Certain matters discussed in this Form 10-Q are “forward-looking statements” intended to qualify for the safe harbors from liability established by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such forward-looking statements may be identified by, among other things, the use of forward-looking terminology such as “believes”, “expects”, “may”, “will”, “should” or “anticipates” or the negative thereof or other variations thereon or comparable terminology, or by discussions of strategy that involve risks and uncertainties. In particular, our statements regarding: our projected financial results; the demand for our services and technologies; growing recognition for the use of independent centralized core laboratories; trends toward the outsourcing of imaging services in clinical trials; realized return from our marketing efforts; increased use of digital medical images in clinical trials; integration of our acquired companies and businesses; expansion into new business segments; the success of any potential acquisitions and the integration of current acquisitions; and the level of our backlog are examples of such forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements include risks and uncertainties, including, but not limited to, the timing of revenues due to the variability in size, scope and duration of projects, estimates made by management with respect to our critical accounting policies, regulatory delays, clinical study results which lead to reductions or cancellations of projects, and other factors, including general economic conditions and regulatory developments, not within our control. The factors discussed in this Form 10-Q and expressed from time to time in our filings with the SEC, as well as the risk factors set forth in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008, could cause actual results and developments to be materially different from those expressed in or implied by such statements. The forward-looking statements are made only as of the date of this filing, and we undertake no obligation to publicly update such forward-looking statements to reflect subsequent events or circumstances.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
     On June 30, 2009, BioClinica adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 165, “Subsequent Events,” (SFAS 165). SFAS 165 establishes general standards of accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. Specifically, SFAS 165 sets forth the period after the balance sheet date during which management of a reporting entity should evaluate events or transactions that may occur for potential recognition or disclosure in the financial statements, the circumstances under which an entity should recognize events or transactions occurring after the balance sheet date in its financial statements, and the disclosures that an entity should make about events or transactions that occurred after the balance sheet date. The adoption of SFAS 165 had no impact on the Financial Statements.
     On January 1, 2009, BioClinica adopted SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements,” (SFAS 157) as it relates to nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities that are not recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on at least an annual basis. SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP), and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. The provisions of this standard apply to other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements and are to be applied prospectively with limited exceptions. The adoption of SFAS 157, as it relates to nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities, had no impact on the Financial Statements. The provisions of SFAS 157 will be applied at such time a fair value measurement of a nonfinancial asset or nonfinancial liability is required, which may result in a fair value that is materially different than would have been calculated prior to the adoption of SFAS 157.
     On January 1, 2009, BioClinica adopted SFAS No. 141 (revised 2007), “Business Combinations,” (SFAS 141(R)), which replaces SFAS No. 141, “Business Combinations,” (SFAS 141) but retains the fundamental requirements in SFAS 141, including that the purchase method be used for all business combinations and for an acquirer to be identified for each business combination. This standard defines the acquirer as the entity that obtains control of one or more businesses in the business combination and establishes the acquisition date as the date that the acquirer achieves control instead of the date that the consideration is transferred. SFAS 141(R) requires an acquirer in a business combination, including business combinations achieved in stages (step acquisition), to recognize the assets acquired, liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree at the acquisition date, measured at their fair values as of that date, with limited exceptions. It also requires the recognition of assets acquired and liabilities assumed arising from certain contractual contingencies as of the acquisition date, measured at their acquisition-date fair values. Additionally, SFAS 141(R) requires acquisition-related costs to be expensed in the period in which the costs are incurred and the services are received instead of including such costs as part of the acquisition price. The adoption of SFAS 141(R) had no impact on the Financial Statements.
     On June 30, 2009, BioClinica adopted FSP No. FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1, “Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments,” (FSP FAS 107-1/APB 28-1). FSP FAS 107-1/APB 28-1 requires a publicly traded company to include disclosures about the fair value of its financial instruments whenever it issues summarized financial information for interim reporting periods. Such disclosures include the fair value of all financial instruments, for which it is practicable to estimate that value, whether recognized or not recognized in the statement of financial position; the related carrying amount of these financial instruments; and the method(s) and significant assumptions used to estimate the fair value. The adoption of FSP FAS 107-1/APB 28-1 had no impact on the Financial Statements.

     Effective January 1, 2009, BioClinica adopted FSP No. FAS 141(R)-1, “Accounting for Assets Acquired and Liabilities Assumed in a Business Combination That Arise from Contingencies,” (FSP FAS 141(R)-1), which was issued on April 1, 2009. FSP FAS 141(R)-1 applies to all assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination that arise from certain contingencies as defined in this FSP and requires (i) an acquirer to recognize at fair value, at the acquisition date, an asset acquired or liability assumed in a business combination that arises from a contingency if the acquisition-date fair value of that asset or liability can be determined during the measurement period otherwise the asset or liability should be recognized at the acquisition date if certain defined criteria are met; (ii) contingent consideration arrangements of an acquiree assumed by the acquirer in a business combination be recognized initially at fair value; (iii) subsequent measurements of assets and liabilities arising from contingencies be based on a systematic and rational method depending on their nature and contingent consideration arrangements be measured subsequently in accordance with the provisions of SFAS 141(R); and (iv) disclosures of the amounts and measurement basis of such assets and liabilities and the nature of the contingencies. The adoption of FSP FAS 141(R)-1 had no impact on the Financial Statements.
     On January 1, 2009, BioClinica adopted FSP No. FAS 142-3, “Determination of the Useful Life of Intangible Assets,” (FSP FAS 142-3). FSP FAS 142-3 amends the factors that should be considered in developing renewal or extension assumptions used to determine the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under FASB Statement No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets,” (SFAS 142) in order to improve the consistency between the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under SFAS 142 and the period of expected cash flows used to measure the fair value of the asset under SFAS 141(R) and other GAAP. The adoption of FSP FAS 142-3 had no impact on the Financial Statements.
     In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 168, “The FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles—a replacement of FASB Statement No. 162,” (SFAS 168). SFAS 168 replaces SFAS No. 162, “The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles,” and establishes the FASB Accounting Standards Codification TM (Codification) as the source of authoritative accounting principles recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities in the preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP. Rules and interpretive releases of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) under authority of federal securities laws are also sources of authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. The FASB will no longer issue new standards in the form of Statements, FASB Staff Positions, or Emerging Issues Task Force Abstracts; instead the FASB will issue Accounting Standards Updates. Accounting Standards Updates will not be authoritative in their own right as they will only serve to update the Codification. The issuance of SFAS 168 and the Codification does not change GAAP. SFAS 168 becomes effective for BioClinica for the period ending September 30, 2009. Management has determined that the adoption of SFAS 168 will not have an impact on the Financial Statements since it only requires changes to the presentation of disclosures.
     In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 167, “Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R),” (SFAS 167). SFAS 167 amends FASB Interpretation No. 46 (Revised December 2003), “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities—an interpretation of ARB No. 51,” (FIN 46(R)) to require an enterprise to perform an analysis to determine whether the enterprise’s variable interest or interests give it a controlling financial interest in a variable interest entity; to require ongoing reassessments of whether an enterprise is the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity; to eliminate the quantitative approach previously required for determining the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity; to add an additional reconsideration event for determining whether an entity is a variable interest entity when any changes in facts and circumstances occur such that holders of the equity investment at risk, as a group, lose the power from voting rights or similar rights of those investments to direct the activities of the entity that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance; and to require enhanced disclosures that will provide users of financial statements with more transparent information about an enterprise’s

involvement in a variable interest entity. SFAS 167 becomes effective for BioClinica on January 1, 2010. Management is currently evaluating the potential impact of SFAS 167 on the Financial Statements.
     In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 166, “Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets—an amendment of FASB Statement No. 140,” (SFAS 166). SFAS 166 amends various provisions of SFAS No. 140, “Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities—a replacement of FASB Statement No. 125,” by removing the concept of a qualifying special-purpose entity and removes the exception from applying FIN 46(R) to variable interest entities that are qualifying special-purpose entities; limits the circumstances in which a transferor derecognizes a portion or component of a financial asset; defines a participating interest; requires a transferor to recognize and initially measure at fair value all assets obtained and liabilities incurred as a result of a transfer accounted for as a sale; and requires enhanced disclosure; among others. SFAS 166 becomes effective for BioClinica on January 1, 2010. Management is currently evaluating the potential impact of SFAS 166 on the Financial Statements.

     Service revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 were $13.9 million and $15.1 million, respectively, a decrease of $1.2 million, or 7.9%. The decrease in our service revenues was due to the pharmaceutical companies’ response to overall economic conditions, resulting in re-evaluation of drug programs and some contract decisions being delayed. We believe as worldwide demand for new drugs grow, our customers will continue to conduct more clinical trials in pursuit of regulatory approval in countries around the world and clinical trials service organizations, such as ours, with an established global presence, depth of services and expertise, will continue to benefit. No one client accounted for more than 10.0% of service revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008.

     Reimbursement revenues and cost of reimbursement revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 were $3.1 million and $4.1 million, respectively, a decrease of $1 million, or 22.2%. Reimbursement revenues and cost of reimbursement revenues consist of payments received from the customer for reimbursable costs. Reimbursement revenues and cost of reimbursement revenues fluctuate significantly over the course of any given project, and quarter to quarter variations are a reflection of this project timing. Therefore, our management believes that reimbursement revenues and cost of reimbursement revenues are not a significant indicator of our overall performance trends. At the request of our clients, we may directly pay the independent radiologists who review our client’s imaging data. In such cases, per contractual arrangement, these costs are billed to our clients and are included in reimbursement revenues and cost of reimbursement revenues.
     Cost of service revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 remained flat year over year at $8.6 million. Cost of service revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 were comprised of professional salaries and benefits and allocated overhead. The cost of revenues as a percentage of total revenues also fluctuates due to work-flow variations in the utilization of staff and the mix of services provided by us in any given period. We expect that our cost of revenues will decrease for the remainder of fiscal 2009 due to the savings from the restructuring in the second quarter of 2009.
     Sales and marketing expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 remained flat year over year at $2.2 million. Sales and marketing expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 were comprised of direct sales and marketing costs, salaries and benefits and allocated overhead. We expect that our sales and marketing expenses will increase in fiscal 2009 as we continue to expand our market presence in the United States and Europe.
     General and administrative expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 remained flat year over year at $1.9 million. General and administrative expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2009 and three months ended June 30, 2008 consisted primarily of salaries and benefits, allocated overhead, professional and consulting services and corporate insurance. This decrease is primarily due to non-recurring professional fees incurred in the second quarter of 2008. In the second quarter of 2009, as a result of a potential acquisition which was terminated, we incurred $734,000 of acquisition related costs and received $750,000, comprised of a $500,000 break-up fee and $250,000 expense reimbursement, from the target company, resulting in a $16,000 gain on the transaction. We expect that our general and administrative expenses will remain relatively flat for the remainder of fiscal 2009.
     Amortization of intangible assets related to acquisitions for the three months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 were $112,000 and $133,000, respectively, a decrease of $21,000, or 15.8%. Amortization of intangible assets related to acquisitions consisted primarily of amortization of customer backlog, customer relationships, software and non-compete intangibles acquired from the acquisitions of PDS and Theralys. We expect that the amortization of intangible assets related to acquisitions may increase as we look to continue to expand our pharmaceutical contract services through potential acquisitions.
     Net interest income was $7,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2009 and $98,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2008, a decrease of $91,000, or 92.9%. Net interest income and expense for the three months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 is comprised of interest income earned on our cash balance and interest expense incurred on equipment lease obligations. The decrease was due to a decline in market interest rates for short-term cash investments; we expect this trend to continue throughout 2009.

     Our income tax provision for the three months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 was $180,000 and $887,000, respectively. Our effective tax rate from continuing operations is approximately 35% for fiscal 2009.

     The Consolidated Statements of Income for all periods presented were reclassified to reflect the CapMed division in discontinued operations.
     The Consolidated Statement of Income for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 includes the financial results of PDS since the acquisition date of March 24, 2008 (except that the period from March 24, 2008 through March 31, 2008 has been excluded due to immateriality).
     Service revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 were $28.4 million and $26.1 million respectively, an increase of $2.3 million, or 8.7%. The increase in our service revenues was due

to the addition of PDS service revenues in the second quarter of 2008. Our service revenues have been impacted due to the pharmaceutical companies’ response to overall economic conditions, resulting in re-evaluation of drug programs and some contract decisions being delayed. We believe as worldwide demand for new drugs grow, our customers will continue to conduct more clinical trials in pursuit of regulatory approval in countries around the world and clinical trials service organizations, such as ours, with an established global presence, depth of services and expertise, will continue to benefit. No one client, accounted for more than 10.0% of service revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008.
     Reimbursement revenues and cost of reimbursement revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 were $5.7 million and $7.2 million respectively, a decrease of $1.5 million, or 19.8%. Reimbursement revenues and cost of reimbursement revenues consist of payments received from the customer for reimbursable costs. Reimbursement revenues and cost of reimbursement revenues fluctuate significantly over the course of any given project, and quarter to quarter variations are a reflection of this project timing. Therefore, our management believes that reimbursement revenues and cost of reimbursement revenues are not a significant indicator of our overall performance trends. At the request of our clients, we may directly pay the independent radiologists who review our client’s imaging data. In such cases, per contractual arrangement, these costs are billed to our clients and are included in reimbursement revenues and cost of reimbursement revenues.
     Cost of service revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 were $17.7 million and $14.9 million respectively, an increase of $2.8 million, or 18.3%. Cost of service revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 were comprised of professional salaries and benefits and allocated overhead. The increase in cost of service revenues is primarily due to a full six months of PDS costs in 2009. The cost of revenues as a percentage of total revenues also fluctuates due to work-flow variations in the utilization of staff and the mix of services provided by us in any given period. We expect that our cost of revenues will decrease for the remainder of fiscal 2009 due to the savings from the restructuring in the second quarter of 2009.
     Sales and marketing expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 were $4.3 million and $3.7 million respectively, an increase of $625,000, or 16.9%. Sales and marketing expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 were comprised of direct sales and marketing costs, salaries and benefits and allocated overhead. The increase is primarily due to the addition of sales personnel from the PDS acquisition along with increased marketing and tradeshow attendance. We expect that our sales and marketing expenses will increase in fiscal 2009 as we continue to expand our market presence in the United States and Europe.
     General and administrative expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 were $3.8 million and $3.4 million respectively, an increase of $345,000, or 10.0%. General and administrative expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and six months ended June 30, 2008 consisted primarily of salaries and benefits, allocated overhead, professional and consulting services and corporate insurance. The decrease is primarily due to non-recurring professional fees incurred in the second quarter of 2008 offset by the full six months of PDS in 2009. In the second quarter of 2009, as a result of a potential acquisition which was terminated, we incurred $734,000 of acquisition related costs and received $750,000, comprised of a $500,000 break-up fee and $250,000 expense reimbursement, from the target company, resulting in a $16,000 gain on the transaction. We expect that our general and administrative expenses will remain relatively flat for the remainder of fiscal 2009.
     Amortization of intangible assets related to acquisitions for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 were $190,000 and $157,000 respectively, an increase of $33,000, or 21.0%. Amortization of

intangible assets related to acquisitions consisted primarily of amortization of customer backlog, customer relationships, software and non-compete intangibles acquired from the acquisitions of PDS and Theralys. The increase is due to the acquisition of PDS on March 24, 2008. We expect that the amortization of intangible assets related to acquisitions may increase as we look to continue to expand our pharmaceutical contract services through potential acquisitions.
     Net interest income was $27,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and $251,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2008, a decrease of $224,000, or 89.2%. Net interest income and expense for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 is comprised of interest income earned on our cash balance and interest expense incurred on equipment lease obligations. The decrease was due to a decline in market interest rates for short-term cash investments; we expect this trend to continue throughout 2009.
     Our income tax provision for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 was $636,000 and $1.5 million respectively. Our effective tax rate from continuing operations is approximately 35% for fiscal 2009.
     Business Segments and Geographic Information
     We view our operations and manage our business as one operating segment, clinical trials services.
     Our corporate headquarters and operational facilities are in Pennsylvania, in the United States. We also have a European facility in Leiden, the Netherlands. We manage our services for European-based clinical trials from this facility. Our European facility has similar processing and analysis capabilities as our United States headquarters. We also have a facility in Lyon, France that provides product development and research activities.
     Our foreign customers accounted for approximately 22% and 25% of service revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

     Liquidity and Capital Resources
     Our principal liquidity requirements have been, and we expect will be, for working capital and general corporate purposes, including capital expenditures.

     At June 30, 2009, we had cash and cash equivalents of $14.6 million. Working capital, defined as current assets minus current liabilities, at June 30, 2009 was $9.6 million.
     Net cash provided by continuing operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2009 was $1.4 million as compared to $7.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008. This decrease from the prior year is primarily due to the decrease in deferred revenue of $2.6 million and the decrease in accrued accounts payable of $1.7 million.
     Cash used in discontinued operations for the six months ended June 30, 2009 was $0 compared to $758 for the three months ended June 30, 2008.
     Net cash used in investing activities from continuing operations for the six months ended June 30, 2009 was $1.1 million as compared to $10.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008. The cash usage in 2008 was primarily due to the acquisition of PDS on March 24, 2008. We currently anticipate that capital expenditures for the remainder of the fiscal year ending December 31, 2009 will be approximately $1 million. These expenditures primarily represent additional upgrades in our networking, data storage and core laboratory capabilities for both our U. S. and European operations, as well as capitalization of software costs.
     Net cash used in by financing activities from continuing operations for the six months ended June 30, 2009 was $30,000 as compared to net cash provided by financing activities of $291,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2008. The change is primarily attributable to fewer proceeds related to the exercise of stock options.

     We have neither paid nor declared dividends on our common stock since our inception and do not plan to pay dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future.
     We have not entered into any off-balance sheet transactions, arrangements or other relationships with unconsolidated entities or other persons that are likely to affect liquidity or the availability of or requirements for capital resources.
     We anticipate that our existing capital resources together with cash flow from operations will be sufficient to meet our cash needs for the next 12 months. However, we cannot assure you that our operating results will maintain profitability on an annual basis in the future. The inherent operational risks associated with the following factors may have a material adverse affect on our future liquidity:
    our ability to gain new client contracts;
    project cancellations;
    the variability of the timing of payments on existing client contracts; and
    other changes in our operating assets and liabilities.
     We may seek to use a portion of our current cash on hand, or seek to raise additional capital from equity or debt sources, in order to take advantage of unanticipated opportunities, such as more rapid expansion, acquisitions of complementary businesses or the development of new services. We cannot assure you that additional financing will be available, if at all, on terms acceptable to us.
     Our fiscal year 2009 operating plan contains assumptions regarding revenue and expenses. The achievement of our operating plan depends heavily on the timing of work performed by us on existing projects and our ability to gain and perform work on new projects. Project cancellations, delays in the timing of work performed by us on existing projects or our inability to gain and perform work on new projects could have an adverse impact on our ability to execute our operating plan and maintain adequate cash flow. In the event actual results do not meet the operating plan, our management believes it could execute contingency plans to mitigate these effects. Our plans include additional financing, to the extent available. Considering the cash on hand and based on the achievement of the operating plan and management’s actions taken to date, management believes it has the ability to continue to generate sufficient cash to satisfy our operating requirements in the normal course of business for at least the next 12 months and the foreseeable future.

Changes to Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
     Our critical accounting policies and estimates are set forth in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008. As of June 30, 2009, there have been no changes to such critical accounting policies and estimates.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
   Interest Rate Risk
     We invest in high-quality financial instruments, comprised of savings accounts, certificates of deposit and money market funds. Due to the short-term nature of our investments, we do not believe that we have any material exposure to interest rate risk arising from our investments.
   Foreign Currency Risk
     Our financial statements are denominated in U.S. dollars. Fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates could materially increase the operating costs of our facilities in the Netherlands and France, which are Euro denominated. A 10 percent increase or decrease in the Euro to U.S. dollar spot exchange rate would result in a change of $256,000 to our net asset position at June 30, 2009. In addition, certain of our contracts are denominated in foreign currency. We believe that any adverse fluctuation in the foreign currency markets relating to these contracts will not result in any material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations. In the event we derive a greater portion of our service revenues from international operations, factors associated with international operations, including changes in foreign currency exchange rates, could affect our results of operations and financial condition.
     We hedge our foreign currency exposure when and as appropriate to mitigate the adverse impact of fluctuating exchange rates. Our foreign currency financial assets and liabilities primarily consist of cash, trade receivables, prepaid expenses, fixed assets, trade payables and accrued expenses. We were in a net asset position at June 30, 2009. An increase in the exchange rate would result in less net assets when converted to U.S. dollars. Conversely, if we were in a net liability position, a decrease in the exchange rate would result in more net liabilities when converted to U.S. dollars.
     In accordance with our foreign exchange rate risk management policy, we had purchased monthly Euro call options in prior years. These options were intended to hedge against the exposure to variability in our cash flows resulting from the Euro denominated costs for our Netherlands subsidiary. During the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, we have not purchased any Euro call options, because our foreign currency needs are generally being met by the cash flow generated by Euro denominated contracts. The last Euro call option expired March 31, 2007, and we have not entered into any new Euro call options since that time. As of June 30, 2009, there were no outstanding derivative positions.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
     Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures. We evaluated, under the supervision and with the participation of the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 (“Exchange Act”), as amended) as of June 30, 2009, the end of the period covered by this report on Form 10-Q. Based on this evaluation, our President and Chief Executive Officer (principal executive officer) and our Chief Financial Officer (principal accounting and financial officer) have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at June 30, 2009. Disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act (i) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and were operating in an effective manner for the period covered by this report, and (ii) is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.
     Changes in internal control over financial reporting. There was no change in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended June 30, 2009 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION.
Item 1. Legal Proceedings.
     In the normal course of business, we may be a party to legal proceedings. We are not currently a party to any material legal proceedings.
Item 1A. Risk Factors.
     The more prominent risks and uncertainties inherent in our business are described below. However, additional risks and uncertainties may also impair our business operations. If any of the following risks actually occur, our business, financial condition or results of operations may suffer. Investing in our common stock involves a high degree of risk. Any of the following factors could harm our business and future results of operations, and you could lose all or part of your investment.
Risks Related to Our Company and Business
We may incur financial losses because contracts may be delayed or terminated or reduced in scope for reasons beyond our control.
     Our clients may terminate or delay their contracts for a variety of reasons, including, but not limited to:
    unexpected or undesired clinical results;
    the client’s decision to terminate the development of a particular product or to end a particular study;
    insufficient patient enrollment in a study;
    insufficient investigator recruitment;
    failure to perform our obligations under the contract; or
    the failure of products to satisfy safety requirements.
     In addition, we believe that FDA-regulated companies may proceed with fewer clinical trials or conduct them without assistance of contract service organizations if they are trying to reduce costs as a result of cost containment pressures associated with healthcare reform, budgetary limits or changing priorities. These factors may cause such companies to cancel contracts with contract service organizations.
     We cannot assure you that our clients will continue to use our services or that we will be able to replace, in a timely or effective manner, departing clients with new clients that generate comparable revenues. Further, we cannot assure you that our clients will continue to generate consistent amounts of revenues over time.
     The loss, reduction in scope or delay of a large contract or the loss or delay of multiple contracts could materially adversely affect our business, although our contracts entitle us to receive all fees earned up to the time of termination.

-30-


 

The current economic downturn may adversely impact our ability to raise capital.
The recent economic downturn and adverse conditions in the national and global markets may negatively affect our operations in the future. The falling equity markets and adverse credit markets may make it difficult for us to raise capital or procure credit in the future to fund the growth of our business, which could have a negative impact on our business and results of operations and limit our ability to pursue acquisitions
We depend on a small number of industries and clients for all of our business, and the loss of one such significant client could cause revenues to drop quickly and unexpectedly.
     We depend on research and development expenditures by pharmaceutical, biotechnology and medical device companies to sustain our business. Our operations could be materially and adversely affected if:
    our clients’ businesses experience financial problems or are affected by a general economic downturn;
    consolidation in the pharmaceutical, biotechnology or medical device industries leads to a smaller client base for us; or
    clients reduce their research and development expenditures.
     No client represented 10.0% or more of our service revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008. The loss of business from a significant client or our failure to continue to obtain new business to replace completed or cancelled projects would have a material adverse effect on our business and revenues.
Our contracted/committed backlog may not be indicative of future results.
     Our reported contracted/committed backlog of $94.1 million at June 30, 2009 is based on anticipated service revenue from uncompleted projects with clients. Backlog is the expected service revenue that remains to be earned and recognized on signed and verbally agreed to contracts. Contracts included in backlog are subject to termination by our clients at any time. In the event that a client cancels a contract, we would be entitled to receive payment for all services performed up to the cancellation date and subsequent client authorized services related to the cancellation of the project. The duration of the projects included in our backlog range from less than three months to seven years. We cannot assure that this backlog will be indicative of future results. A number of factors may affect backlog, including:
    the variable size and duration of the projects (some are performed over several years);
    the loss or delay of projects;
    the change in the scope of work during the course of a project; and
    the cancellation of such contracts by our clients.
     Also, if clients delay projects, the projects will remain in backlog, but will not generate revenue at the rate originally expected. Accordingly, the historical relationship of backlog to revenues may not be indicative of future results.
We acquired Phoenix Data Systems, Inc. in March 2008 and may engage in future acquisitions, which may be expensive and time consuming, and from which we may not realize anticipated benefits.
     We acquired Phoenix Data Systems, Inc. (PDS) in March 2008 and may acquire additional businesses, technologies and products if we determine that these additional businesses, technologies and products complement our existing business, or otherwise serve our strategic goals. Either as a result of the

-31-


 

acquisition of PDS or future acquisitions undertaken, the process of integrating the acquired business, technology or product may result in operating difficulties and expenditures, and may absorb significant management attention that would otherwise be available for ongoing development of our business. Moreover, we may never realize the anticipated benefits of any such acquisition. Such acquisitions could result in potentially dilutive issuances of our securities, the incurrence of debt and contingent liabilities and amortization expenses related to intangible assets, all of which could adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.
Loss of key personnel, or failure to attract and retain additional personnel, may cause the success and growth of our business to suffer.
     Future success depends on the personal efforts and abilities of the principal members of our senior management to provide strategic direction, develop business, manage operations and maintain a cohesive and stable environment. Specifically, we are dependent upon Mark L. Weinstein, President and Chief Executive Officer, Ted I. Kaminer, Executive Vice President of Finance and Administration and Chief Financial Officer, David A. Pitler, Executive Vice President, President BioImaging Services, and Peter Benton, Executive Vice President, President eClinical. Although we have employment agreements with Mr. Weinstein, Mr. Kaminer and Mr. Benton, this does not necessarily mean that they will remain with us. Although we have executive retention agreements with our officers, we do not have employment agreements with any other key personnel. Furthermore, our performance also depends on our ability to attract and retain management and qualified professional and technical operating staff. Competition for these skilled personnel is intense. The loss of services of any key executive, or inability to continue to attract and retain qualified staff, could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition. We do not maintain any key employee insurance on any of our executives.
Our revenues, earnings and operating costs are exposed to exchange rate fluctuations.
     During the second quarter of 2009, a portion of our service revenues were denominated in foreign currency. Our financial statements are denominated in United States dollars. In the event a greater portion of our service revenues are denominated in a foreign currency, changes in foreign currency exchange rates could affect our results of operations and financial condition. Fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates could materially impact the operating costs of our European facility in Leiden, the Netherlands, which are primarily Euro denominated. We hedge our foreign currency exposure when and as appropriate to mitigate the adverse impact of fluctuating exchange rates.
Our investments may be exposed to credit risk.
     Financial instruments that potentially subject us to significant credit risk consist principally of cash. As part of our risk management processes, we continuously evaluate the relative credit standing of all of the financial institutions that service us and monitor actual exposures versus established limits. We have not sustained credit losses from instruments held at financial institutions. We maintain cash and cash equivalents, comprised of savings accounts, short-term certificate of deposits and money market funds with various financial institutions. These financial institutions are generally highly rated and the company has a policy to limit the dollar amount of credit exposure with any one institution.
We may be required to record additional significant charges to earnings if our goodwill becomes impaired.
     Under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, we review our goodwill for impairment each year as of December 31 and when events or changes in circumstances indicate the

-32-


 

carrying value may not be recoverable. The carrying value of our goodwill may not be recoverable due to factors such as a decline in stock price and market capitalization, reduced estimates of future cash flows and slower growth rates in our industry. Estimates of future cash flows are based on an updated long-term financial outlook of our operations. However, actual performance in the near-term or long-term could be materially different from these forecasts, which could impact future estimates. For example, a significant decline in our stock price and/or market capitalization may result in impairment of our goodwill valuation. We may be required to record a charge to earnings in our financial statements during a period in which an impairment of our goodwill is determined to exist, which may negatively impact our results of operations.
Risks Related to Our Industry
Our failure to compete effectively in our industry could cause our revenues to decline.
     Significant factors in determining whether we will be able to compete successfully include:
    consultative and clinical trials design capabilities;
    reputation for on-time quality performance;
    expertise and experience in specific therapeutic areas;
    the scope of service offerings;
    strength in various geographic markets;
    the price of services;
    ability to acquire, process, analyze and report data in a time-saving and accurate manner;
    ability to manage large-scale clinical trials both domestically and internationally;
    our size; and
    the service and product offerings of our competitors.
     If our services are not competitive based on these or other factors, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially harmed.
     The biopharmaceutical services industry is highly competitive, and we face numerous competitors in our business, including hundreds of contract research organizations. If we fail to compete effectively, we will lose clients, which would cause our business to suffer. We, or CROs, primarily compete against in-house departments of pharmaceutical companies, full service CROs, small specialty CROs, and to a lesser extent, universities and teaching hospitals. Some of these competitors have substantially greater capital, technical and other resources than we do. In addition, certain of our competitors that are smaller specialized companies may compete effectively against us because of their concentrated size and focus.
Changes in outsourcing trends in the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries could adversely affect our operating results and growth rate.
     Service revenues depend greatly on the expenditures made by the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries in research and development. Accordingly, economic factors and industry trends that affect our clients in these industries also affect our business. For example, the practice of many companies in these industries has been to hire outside organizations like us to conduct clinical research projects. This practice has grown significantly in the last decade, and we have benefited from this trend. However, if this trend were to change and companies in these industries were to reduce the number of research and development projects they outsource, our business could be materially adversely affected.

-33-


 

     Additionally, numerous governments have undertaken efforts to control growing healthcare costs through legislation, regulation and voluntary agreements with medical care providers and pharmaceutical companies. If future regulatory cost containment efforts limit the profits that can be derived from new drug sales, our clients might reduce their research and development spending, which could reduce our business.
Consolidation among our customers could cause us to lose customers, decrease the market for our products and result in a reduction of our revenues.
     Our customer base could decline because of industry consolidation, and we may not be able to expand sales of our products and services to new customers. Consolidation in the pharmaceutical, biotechnology and medical device industries has accelerated in recent years, and we expect this trend to continue. As these industries consolidate, competition to provide products and services to industry participants will become more intense and the importance of establishing relationships with large industry participants will become greater. These industry participants may try to use their market power to negotiate price reductions for our products and services. Also, if consolidation of larger current customers occurs, the combined organization may represent a larger percentage of business for us and, as a result, we are likely to rely more significantly on the combined organization’s revenues to continue to achieve growth.
The current economic downturn coupled with the current regulatory environment could have a negative impact on the pharmaceutical, biotechnology and medical device industries.
     The recent economic downturn and adverse conditions in the national and global markets may negatively affect our operations in the future. Our revenues are contingent upon the research and development expenditures by pharmaceutical, biotechnology and medical device companies. Some companies in these industries have found it difficult to raise capital in the equity and debt markets or through traditional credit markets to fund research and development. In addition, increased regulatory scrutiny from the FDA may have increased the costs of research and development for these companies. These companies have responded to the general economic downturn and regulatory environment, by postponing, attenuating or cancelling clinical trials projects, or portions thereof, which may reduce the need for our services. As a result, our revenues may be similarly decreased. Furthermore, while our revenues may decrease, our costs may remain relatively fixed, resulting in decreased earnings.
Failure to comply with existing regulations could result in increased costs to complete clinical trials.
     Our business is subject to numerous governmental regulations, primarily relating to pharmaceutical product development and the conduct of clinical trials. In particular, we are subject to 21 CFR Part 11 of the Code of Federal Regulations that provides the criteria for acceptance by the FDA of electronic records. If we fail to comply with these governmental regulations, it could result in the termination of ongoing clinical research or the disqualification of data for submission to regulatory authorities. We also could be barred from providing clinical trial services in the future or be subjected to fines. Any of these consequences would harm our reputation, our prospects for future work and our operating results.
Changes in governmental regulation could decrease the need for the services we provide, which would negatively affect our future business opportunities.
     In recent years, the United States Congress and state legislatures have considered various types of healthcare reform in order to control growing healthcare costs. The United States Congress and state legislatures may again address healthcare reform in the future. We are unable to predict what legislative

-34-


 

proposals will be adopted in the future, if any. Similar reform movements have occurred in Europe and Asia.
     Implementation of healthcare reform legislation that results in additional costs could limit the profits that can be made by clients from the development of new products. This could adversely affect our clients’ research and development expenditures, which could, in turn, decrease the business opportunities available to us both in the United States and abroad. In addition, new laws or regulations may create a risk of liability, increase costs or limit service offerings. We cannot predict the likelihood of any of these events.
     In addition to healthcare reform proposals, the expansion of managed care organizations in the healthcare market may result in reduced spending on research and development. Managed care organizations’ efforts to cut costs by limiting expenditures on pharmaceuticals and medical devices could result in pharmaceutical, biotechnology and medical device companies spending less on research and development. If this were to occur, we would have fewer business opportunities and our revenues could decrease, possibly materially.
     Governmental agencies throughout the world, but particularly in the United States, strictly regulate the drug development/approval process. Our business involves helping pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies navigate the regulatory drug approval process. Changes in regulation, such as relaxation in regulatory requirements or the introduction of simplified drug approval procedures or an increase in regulatory requirements that we may have difficulty satisfying could eliminate or substantially reduce the need for our services. If these changes in regulations were to occur, our business, results of operations and financial condition could be materially adversely affected. These and other changes in regulation could have a material adverse impact on our available business opportunities.
If governmental agencies do not accept the data and analyses generated by our services, the need for our services would be eliminated or substantially reduced.
     The success of our business is dependent upon continued acceptance by the FDA and other regulatory authorities of the data and analyses generated by our services in connection with the evaluation of the safety and efficacy of new drugs and devices. The FDA has formal guidelines that encourage the use of “surrogate measures” through submission of digital image data, for evaluation of drugs to treat life-threatening or debilitating conditions. We cannot assure you that the FDA or other regulatory authorities will accept the data or analyses generated by us in the future and, even assuming acceptance, the FDA or other regulatory authorities may not require the application of imaging techniques to the number of patients and over time periods substantially similar to those required of traditional safety and efficacy techniques. If the governmental agencies do not accept data and analyses generated by our services in connection with the evaluation of new drugs and devices, the need for our services would be eliminated or substantially reduced, and, as a result, our business, results of operations and financial condition could be materially adversely affected.
We may be exposed to liability claims as a result of our involvement in clinical trials.
     We may be exposed to liability claims as a result of our involvement in clinical trials. We cannot assure you that liability claims will not be asserted against us as a result of work performed for our clients. We maintain liability insurance coverage in amounts that we believe are sufficient for the pharmaceutical services industry. Furthermore, we cannot assure you that our clients will agree to indemnify us, or that we will have sufficient insurance to satisfy any such liability claims. If a claim is brought against us and the outcome is unfavorable to us, such outcome could have a material adverse impact on us.

Risks Related to Our Common Stock
Your percentage ownership and voting power and the price of our common stock may decrease as a result of events that increase the number of our outstanding shares.
     As of June 30, 2009, we had the following capital structure (in thousands):
         
Common stock outstanding
    14,357  
 
       
Common stock issuable upon:
       
Exercise of options which are outstanding
    1,948  
Exercise of options which have not been granted
    768  
Restricted stock units outstanding
    113  
 
       
Total common stock outstanding assuming exercise or conversion of all of the above
    17,186  
     As of June 30, 2009, we had outstanding options to purchase 1,948,773 million shares of common stock at exercise prices ranging from $0.63 to $8.06 per share (exercisable at a weighted average of $4.23 per share), of which 1,244,196 million options were then exercisable. Exercise of our outstanding options into shares of our common stock may significantly and negatively affect the market price for our common stock as well as decrease your percentage ownership and voting power. In addition, we may conduct future offerings of our common stock or other securities with rights to convert the securities into shares of our common stock. As a result of these and other events, such as future acquisitions, that increase the number of our outstanding shares, your percentage ownership and voting power and the price of our common stock may decrease.
Shares of our common stock eligible for public sale may have a negative impact on its market price.
     Future sales of shares of our common stock by existing holders of our common stock or by holders of outstanding options, upon the exercise thereof, could have a negative impact on the market price of our common stock. As of June 30, 2009, we had 14,357,253 million shares of our common stock issued and outstanding, substantially all of which are currently freely tradable.
     We are unable to estimate the number of shares that may be sold because this will depend on the market price for our common stock, the personal circumstances of the sellers and other factors. Any sale of substantial amounts of our common stock or other securities in the open market may adversely affect the market price of our securities and may adversely affect our ability to obtain future financing in the capital markets as well as create a potential market overhang.
There are a limited number of stockholders who have significant control over our common stock, allowing them to have significant influence over the outcome of all matters submitted to our stockholders for approval, which may conflict with our interests and the interests of our other stockholders.
     Our directors, officers and principal stockholders (stockholders owning 10% or more of our common stock), including Covance Inc., beneficially owned 24% of the outstanding shares of common stock and stock options that could have been converted to common stock at June 30, 2009, and such

-36-


 

stockholders will have significant influence over the outcome of all matters submitted to our stockholders for approval, including the election of our directors and other corporate actions. In addition, such influence by these affiliates could have the effect of discouraging others from attempting to take us over, thereby increasing the likelihood that the market price of the common stock will not reflect a premium for control.
Because we do not intend to pay dividends, stockholders will benefit from an investment in our common stock only if it appreciates in value.
     We have never declared or paid any cash dividends on our common stock. We currently intend to retain our future earnings, if any, to finance further research and development and do not expect to pay any cash dividends in the foreseeable future. As a result, the success of an investment in our common stock will depend upon any future appreciation in its value. There is no guarantee that our common stock will appreciate in value or even maintain the price at which stockholders have purchased their shares.
Trading in our common stock may be volatile, which may result in substantial declines in its market price.
     The market price of our common stock has experienced historical volatility and might continue to experience volatility in the future in response to quarter-to-quarter variations in:
    operating results;
    analysts’ reports;
    market conditions in the industry;
    changes in governmental regulations; and
    changes in general conditions in the economy or the financial markets.
     The overall market (including the market for our common stock) has also experienced significant decreases in value in the past. This volatility and potential market decline could affect the market prices of securities issued by many companies, often for reasons unrelated to their operating performance, and may adversely affect the price of our common stock. Between January 1, 2009 and June 30, 2009, our common stock has traded at a low of $2.75 per share and a high of $4.27 per share.
     Our common stock began trading on the NASDAQ Global Market, formerly called the NASDAQ National Market, on December 18, 2003 and has a limited trading market. We cannot assure that an active trading market will develop or, if developed, will be maintained. As a result, our stockholders may find it difficult to dispose of shares of our common stock and, as a result, may suffer a loss of all or a substantial portion of their investment.
Certain provisions of our charter and Delaware law could make a takeover difficult and may prevent or frustrate attempts by our stockholders to replace or remove our management team.
     We have an authorized class of 3,000,000 shares of undesignated preferred stock, of which 1,250,000 shares were previously issued and converted to common stock. The remaining 1,750,000 shares may be issued by our board of directors, on such terms and with such rights, preferences and designation as the board of directors may determine. Issuance of such preferred stock, depending upon the rights, preferences and designations thereof, may have the effect of delaying, deterring or preventing a change in control of our company. In addition, we are subject to provisions of Delaware corporate law which, subject to certain exceptions, will prohibit us from engaging in any “business combination” with a person who, together with affiliates and associates, owns 15% or more of our common stock for a period

-37-


 

of three years following the date that the person came to own 15% or more of our common stock, unless the business combination is approved in a prescribed manner. In July 2009, our board of directors also adopted a stockholder rights plan, similar to plans adopted by many other publicly-traded companies. The stockholder rights plan is intended to protect stockholders against unsolicited attempts to acquire control of us that do not offer a fair price to our stockholders as determined by our board of directors.
     These provisions of our certificate of incorporation, stockholder rights plan and of Delaware law, may have the effect of delaying, deterring or preventing a change in control of our company, may discourage bids for our common stock at a premium over market price and may adversely affect the market price, and the voting and other rights of the holders, of our common stock. In addition, these provisions make it more difficult to replace or remove our current management team in the event our stockholders believe this would be in the best interest of our company and our stockholders.
