DATATRAK INTERNATIONAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
March 31, 2006
(Unaudited)
1. Basis of Presentation
     The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of DATATRAK International, Inc. and subsidiaries (“DATATRAK” or the “Company”) have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three month period ended March 31, 2006 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2006. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005.
     The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that might affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
     On July 20, 2005, DATATRAK’s Board of Directors approved a three-for-two share split that was distributed in the form of a 50% share dividend. The Company’s shareholders of record at the close of business on August 15, 2005 received one additional Common Share for every two Common Shares held on that date. The new Common Shares were distributed on or around August 31, 2005 and began trading ex-dividend on September 1, 2005. The Company has restated all prior reported Common Share and per share amounts as if the share split had occurred at the beginning of the earliest period being reported.
2. ClickFind Acquisition
     On February 13, 2006, DATATRAK acquired all of the outstanding stock of ClickFind, Inc. (“ClickFind”), a technology company focused on the clinical trials industry, located in Bryan, Texas. As a result of the acquisition, the Company’s management believes DATATRAK will have the most extensive eClinical software suite in the clinical trials industry.
     The negotiated terms of the acquisition were for an aggregate purchase of $18,000,000, less approximately $328,000 in certain transaction expenses and certain indebtedness of ClickFind. A component of the purchase price was paid with common shares of the Company, valued at $9.25 per share, as determined by the terms of the acquisition agreement. The acquisition was recorded as a purchase, and as such, for the purpose of recording the acquisition, the value of the common shares used in the acquisition were valued at $7.66 per share, based on the average closing price per share of the Company’s common shares for the period from February 9 through February 15, 2006.
     Based on the common share price of $7.66 per share, the total acquisition cost including acquisition related expenses of approximately $848,000 was $16,672,000. The cash portion of the purchase price, net of cash acquired of approximately $82,000 and including unpaid accrued expenses at March 31, 2006, was approximately $4,726,000. The remainder of the purchase price consisted of $4,000,000 in notes payable and the issuance of approximately $7,864,000 in common shares (1,026,522 common shares), both of which are excluded from the Company’s consolidated statement of cash flows. The notes payable bear interest at prime plus 1%, and principal payments are due in installments of $500,000, $500,000 and $3,000,000 on February 1, 2007, 2008 and 2009, respectively.

     The acquisition was accounted for as a purchase, and accordingly fair value adjustments to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed were recorded as of the date of acquisition. The Company has obtained a preliminary third party valuation of certain tangible and intangible assets acquired. DATATRAK has estimated its acquisition related deferred tax liability to be $2,054,000, pending final determination of the deductibility of certain intangible assets. The following table summarizes the preliminary fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the date of the acquisition.
         
Cash, accounts receivable and other current assets
  $ 254,000  
Amortizable intangible assets
    6,040,000

Total acquisition cost
  $ 16,672,000  
 
     
     Subsequent to the acquisition, the $118,000 of assumed long-term debt was paid in full.
     Of the $6,040,000 of acquired amortizable intangible assets, $3,330,000 was assigned to the software now known as DATATRAK eClinical™ and will be amortized over seven years. Of the remaining $2,710,000 of acquired amortizable intangible assets, $1,160,000 was assigned to employee non-compete agreements and $1,550,000 was assigned to contracts and customer relationships, each will be amortized over three years. The $12,941,000 of goodwill is not deductible for income tax purposes.
     The operating results of ClickFind have been included in the Company’s consolidated results of operations for all periods subsequent to February 13, 2006. Unaudited pro forma data for the three months ended March 31, 2006 and March 31, 2005, as though the Company had acquired ClickFind at the beginning of 2005, is set forth below. The pro forma operating results are not necessarily indicative of what would have occurred had the transaction taken place on January 1, 2005.

3. Stock Based Compensation
     The Company has three share option plans with unexpired options that may be exercised by the holders of such options. At March 31, 2006, the Company had reserved 3,046,066 common shares for the exercise of common share options. The Company has granted 2,779,094 options to purchase common shares to employees, directors and others of which 1,170,590 have been previously exercised. There are 266,972 options to purchase common shares available for future grants, however no future option grants are expected be made under the Company’s share option plans. The weighted average contractual life of all options outstanding was 5.6 years as of March 31, 2006. The range of exercise prices for all options outstanding at March 31, 2006 was $1.33 to $12.93.
     The Amended and Restated 1996 Outside Directors’ Stock Option Plan, as amended ( the “1996 Director Plan”) was established by the Company to provide common share options as compensation to directors of the Company. Certain options, as approved by the Company’s shareholders, were granted under the 1996 Director Plan at exercise prices below the market value of a common share on the date of approval. All compensation expense related to these common share options was recognized prior to

(Unaudited)
January 1, 2005. All other options granted under the 1996 Director Plan have been granted at exercise prices that represented the fair market value of a common share on the date of grant. Options fully vest in no more than three years following the grant date. All options granted under the 1996 Director Plan expire ten years after the grant date. At March 31, 2006 there were 66,750 options outstanding under the 1996 Director Plan with exercise prices ranging from $2.79 to $5.50, all of which were 100% vested. These options had a weighted average contractual life of 2.1 years and a weighted average exercise price of $3.08.
     The Amended and Restated 1996 Key Employees’ and Consultants Stock Option Plan (the “1996 Plan”) provides for the granting of options to purchase common shares to key employees and consultants of the Company and its affiliates. During 2000, 116,031 common share options were granted at exercise prices of less than the fair market value of a common share on the date of grant. All compensation expense related to these common share options was recognized prior to January 1, 2005. All other options granted under the 1996 Plan have been granted at exercise prices that represented the fair market value of a common share on the date of grant. Vesting of options awarded under the 1996 Plan ranges from two to four years, as determined by the Board of Directors’ Compensation Committee, and all options granted under the 1996 Plan expire ten years after the grant date. At March 31, 2006 there were 1,016,004 options outstanding under the 1996 Plan with exercise prices ranging from $1.33 to $12.93, of which 676,976 were 100% vested. These options had a weighted average contractual life of 5.8 years and a weighted average exercise price of $3.85.
     The Amended and Restated Outside Director Stock Option Plan (the “Director Plan”) provides for the granting of options to purchase common shares to outside directors of the Company. Certain options approved by Company’s Board of Directors and its shareholders have been granted at exercise prices below the market value of a common share on the grant date in 2000. All compensation expense related to these common share options was recognized prior to January 1, 2005. All other options granted under the Director Plan have been granted at exercise prices that represented the fair market value of a common share on the date of grant. Options fully vest one year following the grant date. All options granted under the Director Plan expire ten years after the grant date. At March 31, 2006 there were 525,750 options outstanding under the Director Plan with exercise prices ranging from $1.33 to $7.56, all of which were 100% vested. These options had a weighted average contractual life of 5.6 years and a weighted average exercise price of $2.93.
     On January 1, 2006, DATATRAK adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 123(R), “Share Based Payment,” using the “modified prospective” method. Under this method compensation cost is recognized beginning January 1, 2006 based on the requirements of SFAS No. 123(R) for all share based payments granted after January 1, 2006, and based on the requirements of SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock Based compensation,” for all awards granted to employees prior to January 1, 2006 that remain unvested at January 1, 2006. The Company has chosen to use the Black-Scholes option valuation model in valuing stock options granted prior to January 1, 2006, and will continue to use this valuation model for options granted after January 1, 2006.

     Prior to January 1, 2006, the Company accounted for stock based compensation in accordance with Accounting Principles Board (“APB”) Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,” for stock options granted to employees and directors, and followed the alternative fair value accounting provided for under SFAS No. 123 for stock options granted to non-employees. SFAS No. 148, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation – Transition and Disclosure,” requires disclosure of compensation expense under both APB No. 25 and SFAS No. 123. The following assumptions were used to estimate the fair value, for the options granted during 2005, using the Black-Scholes option pricing model.
       
Weighted average risk free interest rate
  4.2 %
Weighted average volatility of the expected market price of the common shares
  1.01  
Dividend yield
  0.0 %
Weighted-average expected life of the option
  7 years  
Weighted-average fair value per share of options granted
  $9.90  
     For purposes of pro forma disclosures, the estimated value of the options is amortized to expense over the options’ vesting period.
     Because SFAS123(R) was adopted on January 1, 2006, the Company’s statement of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2005 does not include stock compensation expense related to the adoption of SFAS 123(R). The following table sets forth stock based compensation and pro forma information for the three months ended March 31, 2005.
         
Net income recorded
  $ 532,000  
Plus: stock compensation expense recognized
    17,000  
Less: stock compensation expense that would have been recognized under SFAS No. 123
    267,000  
 
     
Pro forma net income
  $ 282,000  
 
     
Pro forma basic income per share
  $ 0.03  
 
     
Pro forma diluted income per share
  $ 0.03  
 
     
     The adoption of SFAS 123(R) increased DATATRAK’s selling, general and administrative expenses by approximately $122,000, or $0.01 per share on both a basic and fully diluted basis, for the three months ended March 31, 2006. Because this expense is all related to incentive stock options, no income tax benefit is recognized for the stock compensation expense related to FAS 123(R). All options exercised during the three months ended March 31, 2006 were incentive stock options. The Company’s unamortized compensation cost, related to nonvested stock options, at March 31, 2006 was $1,074,000. These costs are expected to be amortized over a weighted average period of approximately 2.0 years.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations and Financial Condition
     The information set forth and discussed below for the three month period ended March 31, 2006 is derived from, and should be read in conjunction with, the condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere herein. The financial information set forth and discussed below is unaudited, but in the opinion of management, reflects all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) necessary for a fair presentation of such information. The Company’s results of operations for a particular quarter may not be indicative of results expected during the other quarters or for the entire year.
General
     DATATRAK is a provider of software and other related services, commonly referred to as an application service provider, or ASP. DATATRAK’s customers use the software known as DATATRAK EDC® and DATATRAK eClinical™ to collect and transmit clinical trial data, commonly referred to as electronic data capture, or EDC. The Company’s services assist companies in the clinical pharmaceutical, biotechnology, contract research organization and medical device research industries, in accelerating the completion of clinical trials. Approximately 17% of the Company’s assets, or $5,326,000, is held in cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments, and goodwill accounts for approximately 42% or $12,941,000 of the Company’s total assets. The Company is continuing to enhance and commercialize its business and software, and anticipates that its operating results may fluctuate significantly from period to period. There can be no assurance of the Company’s long-term future prospects.
     On January 1, 2006, DATATRAK adopted SFAS No. 123(R) using the “modified prospective” method. Under this method compensation cost is recognized beginning January 1, 2006 based on the requirements of SFAS No. 123(R) for all share based payments granted after January 1, 2006, and based on the requirements of SFAS No. 123 for all awards granted to employees prior to January 1, 2006 that remain unvested at January 1, 2006. The Company has chosen to use the Black-Scholes option valuation model in valuing stock options granted prior to January 1, 2006, and will continue to use this valuation model for options granted after January 1, 2006. The adoption of SFAS 123(R) increased DATATRAK’s selling, general and administrative expenses by approximately $122,000, or $0.01 per share on both a basic and fully diluted basis, for the three months ended March 31, 2006. Because this expense is all related to incentive stock options, no income tax benefit is recognized for the stock compensation expense related to FAS 123(R). The Company’s unamortized compensation cost, related to nonvested stock options, at March 31, 2006 was $1,074,000. These costs are expected to be amortized over a weighted average period of approximately 2.0 years.
     On February 13, 2006, DATATRAK acquired all of the outstanding stock of ClickFind, a technology company focused on the clinical trials industry, located in Bryan, Texas. As a result of the acquisition, the Company’s management believes DATATRAK will have the most extensive eClinical software suite in the clinical trials industry. The total acquisition cost, on a purchase accounting basis, including acquisition related expenses of approximately $848,000 was $16,672,000. The cash portion of the purchase price, net of cash acquired of approximately $82,000 and including unpaid accrued expenses at March 31, 2006, was approximately $4,726,000. The remainder of the purchase price consisted of $4,000,000 in notes payable and approximately $7,864,000 in common shares (1,026,522 common shares). The value of the 1,026,522 common shares, for the purchase allocation, was determined based on the average closing price per share of the Company’s common shares for the period from February 9 through February 15, 2006. The notes payable bear interest at prime plus 1%, and principal payments are due in installments of $500,000, $500,000 and $3,000,000 on February 1, 2007, 2008 and 2009, respectively. The operating results of ClickFind have been included in the Company’s consolidated results of operations for all periods subsequent to February 13, 2006.

Table of Contents

     DATATRAK’s contracts provide a fixed price for each component or service to be delivered and revenue is recognized as these components or services are delivered. DATATRAK recognizes revenue based on the performance or delivery of the following specified services or components of its EDC contracts in the manner described below:
    Project management and data management (design, report and export) services are recorded as revenue proportionally over the life of a contract as services are performed, based on the contractual billing rate per hour for those services.
 
    Data items revenue is earned based on a price per data unit as data items are entered into DATATRAK’s hosting facility.
 
    Classroom training services revenue is recognized as classroom training is completed, at rates based on the length of the training program.
 
    Internet-based training services revenue is recognized on a per user basis as self-study courses are completed.
 
    Help desk revenue is recognized based on a monthly price per registered user under the contract.
     Services provided by DATATRAK that are in addition to those provided for in its contracts are billed on a fee for service basis as services are completed. Costs associated with contract revenue are recognized as incurred. Costs that are paid directly by the Company’s clients, and for which the Company does not bear the risk of economic loss, are excluded from revenue. The termination of a standard contract will not result in a material adjustment to the revenue or costs previously recognized.
     In some instances, the Company offers volume discounts to customers over multiple contracts. The Company estimates the volume discounts to be earned over the life of the contracts to which the discount applies. As a contract progresses, revenues are recorded using rates that reflect the anticipated volume discount to be achieved by the customer. The termination of a contract subject to a volume discount could result in a material adjustment to revenue previously recognized, in order to reflect the true economic value of the contract at the time of cancellation. At December 31, 2005, DATATRAK had deferred $125,000 of revenue as a result of its contracts subject to volume discounts. For the three months ended March 31, 2006, an additional $16,500 of revenue was deferred as a result of its contracts subject to volume discounts.
     Backlog consists of anticipated revenue from authorization letters to commence services and signed contracts yet to be completed. Potential contracts or authorization letters that have passed the verbal stage, but have not yet been signed, are excluded from backlog. At March 31, 2006, DATATRAK’s backlog was $18,927,000. DATATRAK’s contracts can be cancelled or delayed at anytime and, therefore, the Company’s backlog, at any point in time, is not an accurate predictor of future levels of revenue. As a result of DATATRAK’s transactional and service-based business model combined with the dynamic nature of the clinical trials market where changes in scope are common, backlog has historically not been an accurate predictor of short-term revenue.
Critical Accounting Policies
     In response to the SEC’s Release No. 33-8040, “Cautionary Advice Regarding Disclosure About Critical Accounting Policies,” the Company has identified the most critical accounting principles upon which its financial status depends. Critical principles were determined by considering accounting policies that involve the most complex or subjective decisions or assessments. The most critical accounting policies were identified to be those related to revenue recognition, software development costs, stock based compensation and income taxes.
     A summary of the Company’s critical accounting policies related to revenue recognition, software development costs, stock based compensation and income taxes can be found in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed on March 13, 2006, (“Annual Report”) under the heading “Critical Accounting Policies” in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

Results of Operations
     Three months ended March 31, 2006 compared with three months ended March 31, 2005
     Revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2006 increased 23.8% to $4,501,000, as compared to $3,635,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2005. During the first quarter of 2006, DATATRAK recorded revenue related to 93 contracts compared to 60 contracts during 2005. For the three months ended March 31, 2006, $4,070,000 of revenue was the result of contracts that were in backlog at December 31, 2005 and $205,000 was the result of new business. In addition, during the three months ended March 31, 2006, the Company recorded revenue of $226,000 from 22 contracts that were acquired from ClickFind on February 13, 2006. For the first quarter of 2005, $3,471,000 of revenue was generated from contracts that were in backlog at December 31, 2004 and $164,000 of revenue was the result of new business. Accounting for the acquisition of ClickFind as though it occurred on January 1, 2005, pro forma revenue for the three month period ended March 31, 2006, would have been $4,709,000, an increase of 15.0% over pro forma revenue of $4,096,000 for the three month period ended March 31, 2005.
     Direct costs of revenue, mainly personnel costs, were $1,172,000 and $915,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively. Additional staff and other payroll cost increases accounted for $225,000 of the $257,000 increase. The increase in personnel costs was caused by the acquisition of ClickFind as well as additional hiring. DATATRAK’s gross margin decreased to 74.0% for the three months ended March 31, 2006 compared to 74.8% for the three months ended March 31, 2005.
     Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses include all administrative personnel costs, business and software development costs, and all other expenses not directly chargeable to a specific contract. SG&A expenses increased by 45.8% to $2,981,000 from $2,045,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively. During the three months ended March 31, 2006, SG&A expenses were 66.2% of revenue compared to 56.3% of revenue during 2005. Personnel and payroll cost increases, director compensation costs, stock compensation expense and the Company’s sales incentive bonus plan accounted for $514,000 of the $936,000 increase. Of this $514,000 increase, $193,000 was due to stock compensation expense. Other personnel increases were caused by the acquisition of ClickFind and additional hiring. Outside consulting fees increased $231,000, due to the Company’s software and business development projects. Increased sales and marketing activity accounted for the remainder of the increase in SG&A costs.
     Depreciation and amortization expense increased to $439,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2006 from $176,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2005. Included in depreciation and amortization expense is $198,000 of expense related to the $6,040,000 of intangible assets acquired in the ClickFind acquisition. The remainder of the increase was the result of an increase in the number of assets being placed in service during the past year.
     During the three months ended March 31, 2006 the Company incurred expenses totaling $122,000, related to stock compensation expense, which are not deductible for U.S. income tax purposes. Due to these non-deductible items, DATATRAK has deferred income tax expense totaling $21,000. Due to anticipated utilization of the Company’s net operating loss carryforwards, DATATRAK has no current tax payable at March 31, 2006.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
     Since its inception, the Company’s principal sources of cash have been cash flow from operations and proceeds from the sale of equity securities. The Company’s investing activities primarily reflect capital expenditures and sales and purchases of short-term investments. In February 2006, the Company used approximately $4,000,000 in cash to complete the ClickFind acquisition.
     The Company’s contracts usually require a portion of the contract amount to be paid at the time the contract is initiated. Additional payments are generally received monthly as work on the contract progresses. All amounts received are recorded as a liability (deferred revenue) until work has been

completed and revenue is recognized. Cash receipts do not necessarily correspond to costs incurred or revenue recognized. The Company typically receives a low volume of large-dollar receipts. DATATRAK’s accounts receivable fluctuates due to the timing and size of cash receipts. Contracting and collection practices are designed to maintain an average collection period for accounts receivable of one to three months. Any increase in the Company’s normal collection period for accounts receivable could negatively impact its cash flow from operations and working capital. At March 31, 2006, the average collection period for accounts receivable was 57 days compared to 56 days at December 31, 2005. Accounts receivable (net of allowance for doubtful accounts) was $3,025,000 at March 31, 2006 and $2,854,000 at December 31, 2005. The increase in accounts receivable was caused by the accounts receivable acquired from ClickFind. Deferred revenue was $907,000 at March 31, 2006 compared to $1,027,000 at December 31, 2005.
     Cash and cash equivalents decreased $1,116,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2006. This was the result of $122,000 provided by operating activities, $1,154,000 used in investing activities and $68,000 used in financing activities. Foreign currency fluctuations caused a $16,000 decrease in cash and cash equivalents. Cash provided by operating activities was the result of the Company’s net loss of $81,000, which was offset by non cash operating items of $595,000. The decrease in operating liabilities caused cash to decrease by $434,000, and changes in other operating assets caused a $42,000 increase in cash during the first three months of 2006. Investing activities included $3,901,000 used for the acquisition of ClickFind, as well as $210,000 to purchase property and equipment, offset by net maturities of investments totaling $2,957,000. Financing activities consist of $50,000 of proceeds from the issuance of common shares resulting from exercises of common share options and warrants and $118,000 used to repay long-term debt assumed from ClickFind.
     At March 31, 2006, the Company had working capital of $5,607,000 and its cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments totaled $5,326,000. The Company’s working capital decreased by $5,189,000 since December 31, 2005. The decrease was primarily due to cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments decreasing by $4,037,000, caused by the acquisition of ClickFind, and current liabilities increasing by $1,281,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2006. Changes in other current assets caused working capital to increase by $129,000.
     The Company is party to a lease agreement that requires it to maintain a restricted cash balance. DATATRAK’s restricted cash balance was $71,000 at March 31, 2006.
     The Company has established a line of credit with a bank that allows it to borrow up to a certain percentage of its investments, as determined by the type of investment, held at the bank. The line of credit bears interest at rates based on the prime rate, and is payable on demand. There were no amounts available to be borrowed and no amounts were outstanding against this line of credit at March 31, 2006.
     The terms of the Company’s recently completed acquisition of ClickFind required it to pay approximately $4,000,000 of cash to the former shareholders of ClickFind in February 2006. DATATRAK also issued notes payable to certain former shareholders of ClickFind in the amount of $4,000,000 that bear interest at prime plus 1%, and are payable in installments of $500,000, $500,000 and $3,000,000 on February 1, 2007, 2008 and 2009, respectively. The Company is responsible for the costs of integrating ClickFind’s operations with its current operations, and all future operating costs of ClickFind. The Company intends to fund these additional costs with its cash and cash equivalents, maturities of short-term investments, cash flow from operations and borrowings against its line of credit.
     The Company intends to continue to fund the enhancement and testing of the DATATRAK EDC® software, as well invest in the development, enhancement and testing of DATATRAK eClinical™. The Company’s operations and the EDC market are still in a developmental stage. DATATRAK has experienced revenue growth, and anticipates recording net income and positive cash flow from operations for the year ended December 31, 2006, as it continues to build its customer base, increase its backlog and convert existing backlog into revenue.

Table of Contents

     During the three months ended March 31, 2006, the Company had cash expenditures totaling $508,000 for capital assets, equipment maintenance and related items. Of this $508,000, $47,000 was recorded as SG&A expense, $210,000 was recorded as capital assets and is being expensed to depreciation and amortization expense over the useful life of the assets and $251,000 represents prepaid expenses that are being expensed as SG&A expense over the life of the underlying asset. The Company anticipates additional cash expenditures for capital assets, equipment maintenance and related items of approximately $2,500,000 through the end of 2006 for continued commercialization, product development and maintenance of DATATRAK EDC® and DATATRAK eClinical™ and the anticipated growth of DATATRAK’s business and information technology infrastructure. A portion of these anticipated expenditures are dependent on the Company’s growth, and are therefore discretionary in nature.
     The Company records research and development expenditures as part of its SG&A expenses. During the three months ended March 31, 2006, the Company expended $596,000 for research and development expenditures. DATATRAK’s 2006 research and development expenditures will be for the continued enhancement and modifications to the DATATRAK EDC® and DATATRAK eClinical™ software solutions, the integration with SAS® Drug Development software and the development of the DataUnifyer™ product.
     DATATRAK expects to fund its working capital requirements from existing cash and cash equivalents, maturities of short-term investments and cash flow from operations. The Company believes that, with its continued anticipated growth in revenue, its cash and cash equivalents, maturities of short-term investments and cash flow from operations will be sufficient to meet its working capital and capital expenditure requirements for the foreseeable future. However, DATATRAK may need to raise additional funds to offset delays or cancellations of contracts, support expansion, respond to competitive pressures, acquire complementary businesses or technology or take advantage of unanticipated opportunities. Additional funds may be raised by selling debt or equity securities, by entering into strategic relationships or through other arrangements. Additional capital may not be available on acceptable terms, if at all. To the extent that additional equity capital is raised, it could have a dilutive effect on existing shareholders.
Inflation
     To date, the Company believes the effects of inflation have not had a material adverse effect on its results of operations or financial condition.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
     The Company is exposed to market risk from changes in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates since it funds its operations through short-term investments and has business transactions in Euros. A summary of the Company’s market risk exposures is presented below.
     Interest Rate Risk
     DATATRAK has fixed income investments consisting of cash equivalents and short-term investments, and short and long-term notes payable which may be affected by changes in market interest rates. The Company does not use derivative financial instruments in its investment portfolio.
     The Company places its cash equivalents and short-term investments with high-quality financial institutions, limits the amount of credit exposure to any one institution and has established investment guidelines relative to diversification and maturities designed to maintain safety and liquidity. Investments are reported at amortized cost, which approximates fair value. A 1.0% change in interest rates during the three months ended March 31, 2006, would have resulted in a $19,000 change in DATATRAK’s interest income during the period.
     The Company’s notes payable bear interest bear interest at prime plus 1%, and interest is paid quarterly. A 1% change in the prime rate during the three months ended March 31, 2006, would have resulted in a $5,000 change in DATATRAK’s interest expense during the period.
     Foreign Currency Risk
     DATATRAK’s foreign results of operations are subject to the impact of foreign currency fluctuations through both foreign currency transaction and foreign currency translation adjustments. The Company manages its risk to foreign currency transaction adjustments by maintaining foreign currency bank accounts in currencies in which we regularly transact business. DATATRAK does not currently hedge against the risk of exchange rate fluctuations.
     DATATRAK’s financial position and results of operations are impacted by translation adjustments caused by the conversion of foreign currency accounts and operating results into U.S. dollars for financial reporting purposes. A 1.0% fluctuation in the exchange rate between the U.S. dollar and the Euro at March 31, 2006, would have resulted in a $21,000 change in the foreign currency translation amount recorded on the Company’s balance sheet, due to foreign currency translations. A 1.0% fluctuation in the average exchange rate between the U.S. dollar and the Euro for the three months ended March 31, 2006 would have resulted in a $12,000 change in the Company’s net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2006 due to foreign currency translations. During the three months ended March 31, 2006, the average exchange rate between the Euro and the U.S. dollar decreased by approximately 8.4% compared to the three months ended March 31, 2005. The conversion of the Company’s foreign operations into U.S. dollars upon consolidation resulted in a net loss that was approximately $113,000 lower than would have been recorded had the exchange rate between the Euro and the U.S. dollar remained consistent with 2005 rates.
