Basic
income (loss) per share is computed by dividing income (loss) available
to
common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares
outstanding during the period. Diluted income (loss) per share is
computed
by dividing income (loss) available to common shareholders by the
weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period
increased to include the number of additional common shares that
would
have been outstanding if the dilutive potential common shares had
been
issued. The dilutive effect of the outstanding options is reflected
in
diluted income (loss) per share by application of the treasury stock
method. Options to purchase 2.9 million shares of common stock in
2006 and
2.5 million shares of common stock in 2005 were outstanding but not
included in the computation of diluted income per share because the
options’ exercise price was greater than the average market price of the
common shares and therefore, the effect would have been antidilutive.
In
addition, diluted net loss per share does not include 691,000
and 1,394,000 potential common shares for the three months ended
September
30, 2006 and 2005, respectively, and 834,000
and 1,867,000 potential common shares derived from stock options
for the
nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively, because
as a result of the Company incurring losses, their effect would have
been
antidilutive.

Effective
January 1, 2006, the Company adopted the provisions of Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 123(R) (“SFAS 123(R)”),
“Share-Based Payments,” which requires the measurement and recognition of
compensation expense for all share-based payment awards to employees
and
directors based on estimated fair values. SFAS 123(R) supersedes
the
Company’s previous accounting methodology using the intrinsic value method
under Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25 (“APB 25”),
“Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees.” Under the intrinsic value
method, no share-based compensation expense had been recognized at
the
time stock option awards were granted because the awards had an exercise
price equal to or greater than the market value of the Company’s stock on
the date of the grant. However, at times, compensation expense had
been
recognized upon
the modifications of stock option
grants.

Company’s operations are classified into two reporting segments: (1)
outsourced content services and (2) IT professional services. The
outsourced content services segment focuses on fabrication services
and
knowledge services. Fabrication services include digitization and
data
conversion services, content creation and XML services. Knowledge
services
include content enhancement, hyperlinking, indexing and general editorial
services. The IT professional services segment focuses on the design,
implementation, integration and deployment of systems used to author,
manage and distribute content. The Company’s outsourced content services
revenues are generated principally from its production facilities
located
in the Philippines, India and Sri Lanka. The Company does not depend
on
revenues from sources internal to the countries in which the Company
operates; nevertheless, the Company is subject to certain adverse
economic
and political risks relating to overseas economies in general, such
as
inflation, currency fluctuations and regulatory
burdens.

The

In
connection with the cessation of all operations at certain foreign
subsidiaries, certain former employees have filed various actions
against
one of the Company’s Philippine subsidiaries, and have purported to also
sue the Company and certain of its officers and directors, seeking
to
require reinstatement of employment and to recover back wages for
an
allegedly illegal facility closing on June 7, 2002 based on the terms
of a
collective bargaining agreement with this subsidiary. If the complainants’
claims have merit, they could be entitled to back wages of up to
$5.0
million for the period from June 7, 2002 to June 6, 2005, consistent
with
prevailing jurisprudence. Based upon consultation with legal counsel,
management believes the claims are without merit and is defending
against
them vigorously.
