Note 1 - Interim Financial Statements

 

Basis of Presentation.

 

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, 2011.

 

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.

 

Functional Currency.

 

The functional currency of each of the Company’s foreign operations is the local currency of the country in which the operation is located. All assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars using exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date. Revenue and expenses are translated using average exchange rates during the period. Increases and decreases in net assets resulting from foreign currency translation are reflected in stockholder’s equity as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss).  The equity adjustment from foreign currency translation was $26,000 and $65,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

 

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements.

 

In September 2011, the FASB issued authoritative guidance that allows an entity to use a qualitative approach to test goodwill for impairment. Under this guidance, an entity has the option to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether the existence of events or circumstances leads to a determination that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. If, after assessing the totality of events or circumstances, an entity determines it is not more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, then performing the two-step impairment test is unnecessary. In addition, an entity has the option to bypass the qualitative assessment for any reporting unit in any period and proceed directly to performing the first step of the two-step goodwill impairment test. This guidance will be effective for BioClinica’s goodwill impairment tests performed after December 31, 2011 and is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

 

Note 2 — Restructuring charges

 

In 2011, the Company realigned its global resources to eliminate certain duplicate functions and took a total restructuring charge of $1.7 million for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011.  This restructuring charge was comprised of $656,000 in employee severance, $884,000 write-off of facility lease obligations and $179,000 in legal and other costs.

 

The Company has paid $1.3 million of the restructuring cost as of March 31, 2012 and the $406,000 remaining to be paid is included in Accrued Expense and Other Current Liabilities and Other Liability on

the Consolidated Balance Sheet.  The remaining $406,000 of the unpaid restructuring cost consists of the facility lease obligations that will be paid out over the remaining term of the leases with the last lease payment in May 2014.

On December 15, 2010, our Board of Directors authorized $2 million in funds for use in our common stock repurchase program over the following 18 months.  Repurchases under the program may be made through open market purchases or privately negotiated transactions in accordance with applicable federal securities laws, including Rule 10b-18.  The timing of the repurchases and the exact number of shares of common stock to be purchased will be determined by the discretion of our management, and will depend upon market conditions and other factors.  The program will be funded using our cash on hand and cash generated from operations.  The program may be extended, suspended or discontinued at any time.

Note 4 — Earnings Per Share

 

Basic income per common share for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011 was calculated by dividing the net income available to Common Stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of Common Stock outstanding during the period.  Diluted income per share for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011 was calculated by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of Common Stock outstanding, adjusted for the effect of potentially dilutive securities using the treasury stock method.

 

The computation of basic income per common share and diluted income per common share was as follows:

Options to purchase 506,000 and 553,000 shares of BioClinica’s common stock respectively, had been excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per common share for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and March 31, 2011, respectively, as they were all antidilutive.

 

Note 5 — Commitments and Contingencies

 

On May 5, 2010, we entered into a two year unsecured, committed line of credit with PNC Bank and have renewed this two year line of credit annually.  In April 2012, the Company again extended the expiration date of this line of credit to May 4, 2014.   Under the credit agreement, we have the ability to borrow $7.5 million at interest rates equal to LIBOR plus 1.75%.  In addition, we pay a fee of 0.25% per annum on the loan commitment regardless of usage. The credit agreement requires our compliance with certain covenants, including maintaining a minimum stockholders’ equity of $35 million.  As of March 31, 2012, we had no borrowings under this line of credit, and we were compliant with the covenants.

 

Capital lease obligations consist of six equipment lease obligations with the same bank at March 31, 2012.   In the first quarter of 2012, we entered into one sale/leaseback transaction totaling $515,000

whereby we sold and leased back computer equipment and software.  The resulting lease is being accounted for as a capital lease and a gain was recorded on the sale in the amount of $22,000 which is being deferred over the life of the lease.  The lease terms are for five years with interest rates ranging from 3.04% to 3.87% per annum.

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

 

Overview

 

BioClinica provides integrated clinical research technology solutions to pharmaceutical, biotechnology, medical device companies and other organizations such as contract research organizations (CROs), engaged in global clinical studies. Our products and services include: medical image management, electronic image transport and archive solutions, electronic data capture, clinical data management, interactive voice and web response, clinical trial supply forecasting tools, and clinical trial management software solutions. By supplying enterprise-class software and hosted solutions accompanied by expert services to fully utilize these tools, we believe that our offerings provide our clients, large and small, improved speed and efficiency in the execution of clinical studies, with reduced clinical and business risk.

 

Market for our Services

 

Our vision is to build critical mass in the complementary disciplines of clinical research related to data collection and processing — especially those which can benefit from our information technology products and support services — and to integrate these offerings in ways that yield efficiency and value for our clients. Our goal is to provide demonstrable benefits to sponsor clients through this strategy, that is, more reliable, faster and less expensive drug development. We believe that the outsourcing of these services should continue to increase in the future because of continued pressure on clinical trial sponsors, including factors such as: the need to more tightly manage costs, capacity limitations, reductions in marketing exclusivity periods, the desire to reduce development time, increased globalization of clinical trials, productivity challenges, imminent patent expirations, and more stringent regulation. We believe these trends will continue to create opportunities for companies like BioClinica that are focused on improving the efficiency of drug and medical device development.

 

Sales and Backlog

 

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 typically ranged from three to 12 months.  In addition, the contracts under which we perform services typically cover a period of three months to seven years, 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.

 

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.  In addition, our costs may increase to service our increased backlog.  Our backlog as of March 31, 2012 was $125.8 million, compared to $111.3 million at March 31, 2011.  Changes in backlog for the period reflect the net effect of new contract signings, addendums, cancellations and expansions and reductions in scope of existing projects, all of which impacted our backlog at March 31, 2012.

 

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 84 months.  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.

 

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”, “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 medical image review services; 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 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

 

In September 2011, the FASB issued authoritative guidance that allows an entity to use a qualitative approach to test goodwill for impairment. Under this guidance, an entity has the option to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether the existence of events or circumstances leads to a determination that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. If, after assessing the totality of events or circumstances, an entity determines it is not more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, then performing the two-step impairment test is unnecessary. In addition, an entity has the option to bypass the qualitative assessment for any reporting unit in any period and proceed directly to performing the first step of the two-step goodwill impairment test. This guidance will be effective for BioClinica’s goodwill impairment tests performed after December 31, 2011 and is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Service revenues were $18.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and $16.1 million for the same period in 2011, an increase of $2.4 million or 14.9%.  The increase in service revenues was due to an increase in work performed on the increased backlog from the prior year.  Pfizer, Inc., encompassing 16 projects, represented 17.2% of our service revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2012.  For the three months ended March 31, 2011, Pfizer Inc., encompassing 17 distinct projects, represented 19.7% of our service revenues.

Reimbursement revenues and cost of reimbursement revenues were $4.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and $3.5 million for the same period in 2011, an increase of $613,000, or 17.4%.  Reimbursement revenues and cost of reimbursement revenues consist of payments received from the customer for 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 were $11.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and $10.6 million for the same period in 2011, an increase of $1.0 million, or 9.9%.  Cost of service revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and the three months ended March 31, 2011 are comprised of professional salaries and benefits and allocated overhead.  The increase is primarily attributable to the additional personnel to support the growth of our Trident IWR, OnPoint CTMS and full service Express EDC solutions. 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 service revenues will increase for the remainder of fiscal 2012 due to increased servicing costs to support the growth of our Trident IWR, OnPoint CTMS and full service Express EDC solutions.

 

Sales and marketing expenses were $2.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and $1.9 million for the same period in 2011, an increase of $754,000, or 40.5%. Sales and marketing expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and the three months ended March 31, 2011 were comprised of direct sales and marketing costs, salaries and benefits and allocated overhead.  The increase is due to additional sales personnel and related costs as we expand our sales efforts for our eClinical product in the U.S. and Europe.  We expect that our sales and marketing costs will increase for fiscal 2012 but decrease as a percentage of total revenue going forward.

 

General and administrative expenses were $2.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and $2.2 million for the same period in 2011, an increase of $380,000, or 17.1%.  General and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and the three months ended March 31, 2011 consisted primarily of salaries and benefits, allocated overhead, professional and consulting services and corporate insurance. The increase is due to increased information technology personnel and costs to support our technology needs.  We expect that our general and administrative expenses will increase for fiscal 2012 but decrease as a percentage of total revenue going forward.

 

Amortization of intangible assets related to acquisitions was $153,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and $156,000 for the same period in 2011, a decrease of $3,000, or 1.9%.  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 Phoenix Data Systems, Tourtellotte, TranSenda and Theralys.  We expect that the amortization of intangible assets related to acquisitions will decrease for fiscal 2012 due to the completion of amortization of certain intangible assets.

 

There were no merger and acquisition related costs for the three months ended March 31, 2012, as compared to $103,000 for the same period in 2011.  The three months ended March 31, 2011 includes $57,000 for the accretion related to the change in the fair value of the second earn-out payment associated with our acquisition of Tourtellotte Solutions, Inc. in September 2009. It also includes

professional fees associated with our acquisition of TranSenda International, LLC in March 2010.

 

There were no restructuring costs for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and $679,000 for the same time period in 2011.  The launch of our BioPacs imaging management system and the release of our integrated BioRead image review software further enhances the quality of our imaging corelab service offering and has enabled us to gain efficiencies by better utilizing resources across our U.S. and European operations.  As a result, in 2011, we realigned our global resources to eliminate certain duplicate functions and took a total restructuring charge of $1.7 million for fiscal 2011.  This restructuring charge was comprised of $656,000 in employee severance, $884,000 write-off of facility lease obligations and $179,000 in legal and other costs.  We do not anticipate any additional restructuring costs for fiscal 2012.

 

Net interest expense was $13,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2012, and $7,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2011, an increase of $6,000, or 85.7%.  Interest income is comprised of interest income earned on our cash balance and interest expense is comprised of interest expense incurred on equipment lease obligations.  The increase in expense is due to the capital lease obligations we entered into during 2011 and 2012.

 

Our income tax provision was $577,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and $209,000 for the same period in 2011, an increase of $368,000, or 176.1%.  The effective tax rate is approximately 36.7% for the three months ends March 31, 2012 as compared to 37.3% for the same period in 2011.  We expect our effective tax rate for the full 2012 year to be 38.9%, this estimate excludes an approximate 3% federal credit for research and experimentation activities since Congress has not signed the legislation to extend this credit.

 

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. 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. We have an office in Bhubaneshwar, India to provide information technology support services.

At March 31, 2012, we had cash and cash equivalents of $12.6 million.  Working capital, defined as current assets minus current liabilities, at March 31, 2012 was $12.5 million.

 

Net cash provided by operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2012 was $1.3 million as compared to $1.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011.  This increase from the prior year is primarily due to the increase in net income from the increased sales as compared to the same period in the prior year.

 

Net cash used in investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2012 was $1.5 million as compared to net cash used in investing activities of $1.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011.  This increase is primarily due to increased capitalized software costs as we invest in our technology platform for the three months ended March 31, 2012 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2011.  We currently anticipate that capital expenditures for fiscal 2012 will be approximately $9 million, funded by cash from operations, as compared to $5.8 million for fiscal 2011. These expenditures primarily represent capitalization of software costs and network and data center computer equipment.

 

Net cash provided by financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2012 was $157,000 as compared to net cash used in financing activities of $193,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2011.  The difference from the prior year was primarily due to our purchase of treasury shares for $540,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2012 along with entering into a $515,000 capital lease obligation to finance the purchase of property and equipment.

 

On May 5, 2010, we entered into a two year unsecured, committed line of credit with PNC Bank and have renewed this two year line of credit annually.  In April 2012, the Company again extended the expiration date of this line of credit to May 4, 2014.  Under the credit agreement, we have the ability to borrow $7.5 million at interest rates equal to LIBOR plus 1.75%.  In addition, we pay a fee of 0.25% per annum on the loan commitment regardless of usage. The credit agreement requires our compliance with certain covenants, including maintaining a minimum stockholders’ equity of $35 million.  As of March 31, 2012, we had no borrowings under this line of credit, and we were compliant with the covenants.

 

Capital lease obligations consist of six equipment lease obligations with the same bank at March 31, 2012.  In the first quarter of 2012, we entered into one sale/leaseback transaction totaling $515,000

whereby we sold and leased back computer equipment and software.  The resulting lease is being accounted for as a capital lease and a gain was recorded on the sale in the amount of $22,000 which is being deferred over the life of the lease.  The lease terms are for five years with interest rates ranging from 3.04% to 3.87% per annum.

 

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 effect 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 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.

 

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, 2011.  As of March 31, 2012, 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, certificate of deposits 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

 

Under our current foreign exchange rate risk management policy, we monitor our exposure to variability in our cash flows resulting from the Euro denominated costs for our Netherlands and France subsidiaries.  Accordingly, we had purchased monthly Euro call options in prior years and may purchase them in the future to hedge against this exposure.  During the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, we did not purchase any Euro call options, because our foreign currency needs were generally met by the cash flow generated by our Euro denominated contracts.  As of March 31, 2012, there were no outstanding derivative positions.

Upon expiration or ineffectiveness of any derivatives, we would record a gain or loss from such derivatives that are deferred in stockholders’ equity to cost of revenues and general and administrative expenses in the Consolidated Statement of Income based on the nature of the underlying cash flow hedged.

 

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 March 31, 2012, 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 March 31, 2012.  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 first quarter of 2012 that materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.

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.

 

In addition to the other information set forth in the this report, you should carefully consider the factors discussed in Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors,” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011, which could materially affect our business, financial condition or future results.  There have been no material changes to those risk factors since we filed our fiscal 2011 Annual Report on Form 10-K.  You should be aware that these risk factors and other information may not describe every risk facing our Company.  Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and/or operating results.

 

Item 2.                   Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.

 

Purchases of Equity Securities by the Issuer

 

On December 15, 2010, our Board of Directors authorized $2 million in funds for use in our common stock repurchase program over the following 18 months from December 2010.  Repurchases under the program may be made through open market purchases or privately negotiated transactions in accordance with applicable federal securities laws, including Rule 10b-18.  Rule 10b-18 puts limitations on this repurchase program, including but not limited to, the manner of purchase, the time of the repurchases, the prices paid and the volume of shares repurchased. The timing of the repurchases and the exact number of shares of common stock to be purchased will be determined by the discretion of our management under the supervision of the audit committee of our board of directors, and will depend upon market conditions and other factors.  The program will be funded using our cash on hand and cash generated from operations.  On March 14, 2011, we entered into a 10b5-1 Stock Repurchase Agreement with our broker so we had the ability to repurchase shares of our common stock during our standard blackout periods.  The program may be extended, suspended or discontinued at any time.
