We are currently in the process of winding down the operations of the VIM business unit and expect this process to be completed during 2009.
Product Commercialization Services
In March 2008, we announced a new strategic initiative to identify and take advantage of opportunities to enter into arrangements with pharmaceutical companies to provide sales and marketing support services and potentially limited capital in connection with the promotion of pharmaceutical products in exchange for a percentage of product sales above a certain threshold amount. These types of arrangements would typically involve a significant upfront investment of our resources with no guaranteed return on investment and would be expected to generate losses in the first year of the contract as program ramp up occurs.
On April 11, 2008, we announced that we had entered into our first arrangement under our product commercialization strategic initiative to provide sales and marketing support services in connection with the promotion of a pharmaceutical product on behalf of Novartis Pharmaceuticals Corporation. See Note 1 and Note 10On April 22, 2009, we announced the consolidated financial statements as well as “Part I – Item 1 – Business – Contracts – Product Commercialization” and “Part I – Item 1A – Risk Factors ”termination of this agreement with Novartis.

Contracts
Set forth below is a general description of our service contracts within each of our business segments.
Sales Services
Contracts within our Sales Services business segment consist primarily of detailing agreements and are nearly all fee-for-service arrangements. The term of these contracts is typically between one and two years whichand may be renewed or extended upon mutual agreement of the parties. The majority of these contracts, however, are terminable by the clientcustomer for any reason upon 30 to 90 days’ notice. Certain contracts provide for termination payments if the client terminates the contract without cause. Typically, however, these penalties do not offset the revenue we could have earned under the contract or the costs we may incur as a result of its termination. The loss or termination of a large contract or the loss of multiple Sales Services contracts could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, or results of operations orand cash flow. Our Sales Services contracts include standard mutual representations and warranties as well as mutual confidentiality and indemnification provisions, including product liability indemnification fromf or our clients to us. Thesebenefit. Some of these contracts which include the Sales Services(including contracts with our significant customers of ours) may also contain performance benchmarks, such as a minimum amount of detailing activity to a certain physician targets within a specified amount of time, and our failure to meet these stated benchmarks may result in specific financial penalties for us. Certain contracts may also include incentive payments that can be earned if our activities generate results that meet or exceed agreed-upon performance targets.
Marketing Services
Our marketing servicesMarketing Services contracts generally take the form of either master service agreements with a term of one to three years, or contracts specifically related to particular projects with terms forequal to the duration of the project, typically lasting from two to six months. These contracts include standard representations and warranties as well as confidentiality and indemnification obligations and are generally terminable by the customer for any reason. Upon termination, the customer is generally responsible for payment forof all work completed to date, plus the cost of any nonrefundable commitments made by us on behalf of the customer. There is significant customer concentration in our Pharmakon business, and the loss or termination of one or more of Pharmakon’s large master service agreements could have a materialma terial adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations. Due to the typical
PDI, Inc.
Annual Report on Form 10-K (continued)
size of most of TVG’s contracts, it is unlikely that the loss or termination of any individual TVG contract would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flow.
Product CommercializationServices
In April 2008, we entered into our firsta contract under our product commercialization initiative with Novartis. On April 22, 2009, we announced the termination of this agreement with Novartis. See Note 1 and Note 1011 to the condensed consolidated financial statements as well as “Part I – Item 1A – Risk Factors” of this Form 10-K for additional information regardingrelating to the terms of this contract. As of December 31, 2008,agreement. However we made expenditures of approximately $12.3 million in connection with our sales force activities and promotion of the product. To date, we have not achieved the required sales levels necessary to receive revenue under our promotion agreement with Novartis. We do not currently anticipate that we will achieve the required sales levels necessary to generate sufficient revenue to recover the costs we have incurred and will continue to incur in connection with this promotional program during the current term of the contract. We currently intend to terminate this contract at the early termination date for this contract, which is no sooner than February 1, 2010 provided that sales of the product remain below certain pre-determined thresholds. At December 31, 2008, we have accrued a loss of $10.3 million for this contract, which represents the anticipated future loss expected to be incurred by us in order to fulfill our minimum contractual obligations under the contract until February 1, 2010.
As we re-evaluate this strategic initiative in conjunction with the appointment of Ms. Lurker as our new chief executive officer, we are not actively pursuing any additional product commercialization opportunities at this time although we will continue to evaluate potential opportunities within this segment on a very selective and opportunistic basis and may pursue additional opportunities in the future to the extent we are able to mitigate certain risks relating to the investment of our resources. To the extent that
Significant Customers
Historically, we enter into any additional product commercialization arrangements in the future, we expect that these contracts will typically be multi-year arrangements with limited termination rights in which we are responsible for the sales force and potentially other marketing costs relating to the promotion of the pharmaceutical product. We currently expect that we will receive revenues under the agreement only if and when product sales or prescriptions exceed certain pre-determined thresholds. We also expect that these contracts will likely involve significant upfront investment of our resources with no guaranteed return on investment and are likely to generate losses during the initial periods of the contract as program ramp up occurs.
We have historically experienced a high degree of customer concentration in our businesses. Our threetwo largest customers in 2008 were Pfizer Inc., F. Hoffmann-La and Roche AG and Abbott Laboratories Inc., which accounted for approximately 28.2%, 13.6%42.0% and 10.7%16.5%, respectively, or approximately 52.5%58.5% in the aggregate, of our revenue for the year ended December 31, 2008. One of these largest customers terminated a significant sales force program effective September 30, 2008 due to generic competition. This sales force program accounted for approximately 9.5% of our revenue during 2008.2009.
Our marketing efforts target established and emerging companies in the biopharmaceutical and life sciences industries. Our marketing efforts are designed to reach the senior sales, marketing, and business development personnel within these companies, with the goal of informing them of the services we offer and the value we can bring to their products. Our tactical plan usually includes advertising in trade publications, direct mail campaigns, presence at industry seminars and conferences and a direct selling effort. We have a dedicated team of business development specialists who work within our business units to identify needs and opportunities within the biopharmaceutical and life sciences industries that we can address. We review possible business opportunities as identified by our business developmentdevelopm ent team and develop a customized strategy and solution for each attractive business opportunity.

Competition
With respect to our sales servicesSales Services segment, we compete with our customers’ ability to manage their needs internally. In addition, a small number of providers comprise the market for outsourced pharmaceutical sales teams, and we believe that PDI, inVentiv Health Inc., Innovex Inc. and Publicis Groupe SA combined accounted for the majority of the U.S. outsourced sales team market share in 2008.the United States in 2009. Our marketing servicesMarketing Services segment operates in a highly fragmented and competitive market.
PDI, Inc.
Annual Report on Form 10-K (continued)
There are relatively fewmodest barriers to entry into the businesses in which we operate and, as the industry continues to evolve, new competitors are likely tomay emerge. We compete on the basis of such factors as reputation, service quality, management experience, performance record, customer satisfaction, ability to respond to specific customer needs, integration skills and price. Increased competition and/or a decrease in demand for our services may also lead to other forms of competition. While we believe we compete effectively with respect to each of these factors, most certain of our current and potential competitors are larger than we are and have substantially greater capital, personnel and other resources than we have. Increased competition may lead to pricing pressures and competitive practices that could have a material adverse effect on our market share and our ability to source new business opportunities as well as our business, financial condition and results of operations.
As of February 28, 2009,2010, we had approximately 1,1001,200 employees, including approximately 550650 full-time employees. Approximately 85%90% of our employees are field sales representatives and sales managers. We are not party to a collective bargaining agreement with any labor union. We believe our relationship with our employees is generally positive.

Government and Industry Regulation
The healthcare sector is heavily regulated by both government and industry. Various laws, regulations and guidelines established by government, industry and professional bodies affect, among other matters, the approval, provision, licensing, labeling, marketing, promotion, price, sale and reimbursement of healthcare services and products, including pharmaceutical products. The federal government has extensive enforcement powers over the activities of pharmaceutical manufacturers, including authority to withdraw product approvals, commence actions to seize and prohibit the sale of unapproved or non-complying products, to halt manufacturing operations that are not in compliance with good manufacturing practices, and to impose or seek injunctions, voluntary recalls, and civil, monetary, and criminal penalties.
The Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act, as supplemented by various other statutes, regulates, among other matters, the approval, labeling, advertising, promotion, sale and distribution of drugs, including the practice of providing product samples to physicians. Under this statute, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulates all promotional activities involving prescription drugs. The distribution of pharmaceutical products is also governed by the Prescription Drug Marketing Act (PDMA), which regulates promotional activities at both the federal and state level. The PDMA imposes extensive licensing, personnel record keeping, packaging, quantity, labeling, product handling and facility storage and security requirements intended to prevent the sale of pharmaceutical product samples or other diversions. Under the PDMA and its implementing regulations, states are permitted to require registration of manufacturers and distributors who provide pharmaceutical products even if such manufacturers or distributors have no place of business within the state. States are also permitted to adopt regulations limiting the distribution of product samples to licensed practitioners and require extensive record keeping and labeling of such samples for tracing purposes. The sale or distribution of pharmaceutical products is also governed by the Federal Trade Commission Act.
PDI, Inc.
Annual Report on Form 10-K
Some of the services that we currently perform or that we may provide in the future may also be affected by various guidelines established by industry and professional organizations. For example, ethical guidelines established by the American Medical Association (AMA) govern, among other matters, the receipt by physicians of gifts from health-related entities. These guidelines govern honoraria and other items of economic value that AMA member physicians may receive, directly or indirectly, from pharmaceutical companies.

There are also numerous federal and state laws pertaining to healthcare fraud and abuse as well as increased scrutiny regarding the off-label promotion and marketing of pharmaceutical products and devices. In particular, certain federal and state laws prohibit manufacturers, suppliers and providers from offering, giving or receiving kickbacks or other remuneration in connection with ordering or recommending the purchase or rental of healthcare items and services. The federal anti-kickback statute imposes both civil and criminal penalties for, among other things, offering or paying any remuneration to induce someone to refer patients to, or to purchase, lease or order (or arrange for or recommend the purchase, lease or order of) any item or service for which payment may be made by Medicare or other federally-funded state healthcare programspro grams (e.g., Medicaid). This statute also prohibits soliciting or receiving any remuneration in exchange for engaging in any of these activities. The prohibition applies whether the remuneration is provided directly or indirectly, overtly or covertly, in cash or in kind. Violations of the statute can result in numerous sanctions, including criminal fines, imprisonment and exclusion from participation in the Medicare and Medicaid programs. Several states also have referral, fee splitting and other similar laws that may restrict the payment or receipt of remuneration in connection with the purchase or rental of medical equipment and supplies. State laws vary in scope and have been infrequently interpreted by courts and regulatory agencies, but may apply to all healthcare items or services, regardless of whether Medicare or Medicaid funds are involved.
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
In addition to the other information provided in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, you should carefully consider the following factors in evaluating our business, operations and financial condition. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us, which we currently deem immaterial or that are similar to those faced by other companies in our industry or businesses in general, such as competitive conditions, may also impair our business operations. The occurrence of any of the following risks could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.
The current worldwide economic and financial crisis may have a material and adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
The current global financial crisis involves, among other things, significant reductions in available capital and liquidity from banks and other providers of credit, substantial reductions and/or fluctuations in equity and currency values worldwide and concerns that the U.S. and global economy have entered into a prolonged recessionary period. Sustained downturns in the economy generally affect the markets in which we operate. If our customers’ access to capital or willingness to make expenditures is curtailed as a result of the current economic and financial crisis, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected. For example, certain customers within our marketing services business segment have recently delayed the implementation or reduced the scope of a number of marketing initiatives. In addition, economic conditions could affect the financial strength of our vendors and their ability to fulfill their commitments to us, and could also affect the financial strength of our customers and our ability to collect accounts receivable. Recent disruptions in the credit markets may also negatively impact our ability to obtain additional sources of financing. The potential effects of the current economic and financial crisis are difficult to forecast and mitigate and are likely to continue to have a significant adverse impact on our customers, vendors and our business for the next several years.
Changes in outsourcing trends in the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Our business depends in large part on demand from the pharmaceutical, biotechnology and life scienceshealthcare industries for outsourced marketing and salescommercialization services. The practice of many companies in these industries has been to hire outside organizations like PDI to conduct large sales and marketing projects on their behalf. However, companies may elect to perform these services internally for a variety of reasons, including the rate of new product development and FDA approval of those products, the number of sales representatives employed internally in relation to demand, the need to promote new and existing products, and competition from other suppliers. Recently,During the past few years, there has been a slow-down in the rate of approval of new products by the FDA and this trend may continue. Additionally, several largelarg e pharmaceutical companies have recently made changes to their commercial model by reducing the number of sales representatives employed internally and through outside organizations like PDI. These and other developments within the pharmaceutical industry have resulted in a decrease in the market for outsourced sales and marketing services during the last few years, and there can be no assurances regarding the timing or extent of any reversal of these trends. If the pharmaceutical and life sciences industries reduce their tendency to outsource these projects, our business financial condition and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected.

Annual Report on Form 10-K (continued)
If companies in the life sciences industries significantly reduce their promotional, marketing and sales expenditures or significantly reduce or eliminate the role of pharmaceutical sales representatives in the promotion of their products, our business financial condition and results of operations would be materially and adversely affected.
Our revenues depend on promotional, marketing and sales expenditures by companies in the life sciences industries, including the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries. Promotional, marketing and sales expenditures by pharmaceutical manufacturers have in the past been, and could in the future be, negatively impacted by, among other things, governmental reform or private market initiatives intended to reduce the cost of pharmaceutical products or by governmental, medical association or pharmaceutical industry initiatives designed to regulate the manner in which pharmaceutical manufacturers promote their products as well as the high level of patent expiration and related introduction of generic versions of branded medicine within the industry. Furthermore, the trend in the life sciences industries toward consolidation may result in a reduction in overall sales and marketing expenditures and, potentially, a reduction in the use of contractoutsourced sales and marketing services providers. This reduction in demand for outsourced pharmaceutical sales and marketing services could be further exacerbated by the current economic and financial crisis occurring in the United States and worldwide. If companies in the life sciences industries significantly reduce their promotional, marketing and sales expenditures or significantly reduce or eliminate the role of pharmaceutical sales representatives in the promotion of their products, our business financial condition and results of operations would be materially and adversely affected.

Our service contracts are generally short-term agreements and are cancelable at any time, which may result in lost revenue and additional costs and expenses.
Our service contracts are generally for a term of one to two years (certain of our operating entities have contracts of shorter duration) and many may be terminated by the customer at any time for any reason. In addition, many of our customers may internalize the contracted sales teams we provide under the terms of the contract or otherwise significantly reduce the number of representatives we deploy on their behalf. The early termination or significant reduction of a contract by one of our customers not only results in lost revenue, but also typically causes us to incur additional costs and expenses.expenses, such as termination expenses relating to excess employee capacity. All of our sales representatives are employees rather than independent contractors. Accordingly, when a contract is significantly reduced or terminated, unless we can immediately transfer the related sales force to a new program, if permitted under the contract, we must either continue to compensate those employees, without realizing any related revenue, or terminate their employment. If we terminate their employment, we may incur significant expenses relating to their termination. The loss, termination or significant reduction of a large contract or the loss of multiple contracts could have a material adverse effect on our business financial condition and results of operations.
MostThe majority of our revenue is derived from a very limited number of customers, the loss of any one of which could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition orand results of operations.
Our revenue and profitability depend to a great extent on our relationships with a very limited number of large pharmaceutical companies. As of December 31, 2009, our two largest customers accounted for approximately 42.0% and 16.5%, or a total of 58.5%, of our service revenue for 2009. As of December 31, 2008, our three largest customers accounted for approximately 28.2%, 13.6%, and 10.7%, respectively, or approximately 52.5% in the aggregate, of our revenue for 2008. For the year ended December 31, 2007, our three largest customers accounted for approximately 13.7%, 12.9% and 11.3% respectively, or approximately 37.9% in the aggregate, of our revenue for 2007. For the year ended December 31, 2006, our three largest customers accounted for 28.5%, 18.3% and 9.9%, respectively, or approximately 56.7% in the aggregate, of our revenue. We are likely to continue tobelieve that we may experience a highan even higher degree of customer concentration particularly if there is furtherduring 2010 and this trend may continue beyond 2010 in light of continued consolidation within the pharmaceutical industry.
In order to increase our revenues, we will need to attract additional significant customers on an ongoing basis. Our failure to attract a sufficient number of such customers during a particular period, or our inability to replace the loss of or significant reduction in business from a major customer would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. For example, during 2006 and 2007, we announced the termination and expiration of a number of significant service contracts, including our sales force engagements with AstraZeneca, GlaxoSmithKline (GSK), sanofi-aventis and another large pharmaceutical company customer. These four customers accounted for approximately $150.9 million in revenue during 2006 and $15.9 million in revenue during 2007.contracts. In addition, another clientcustomer terminated a significant sales force program effective September 30, 2008 due to generic competition. This sales force program accounted for 9.5% of our revenue during 2008.

We have incurred and expect to continue to incur substantial losses in connection with theour recently terminated promotional agreement under our product commercialization initiative, we entered into with Novartis in April 2008. Ifand if we are unable to generate sufficient revenue from any future product commercialization or other similar opportunities that we may pursue, to offset the costs and expenses associated with implementing and maintaining these types of programs, our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows could be materially and adversely affected.
InEffective April 22, 2009, we and Novartis mutually agreed to terminate the promotional agreement that was entered into in April 2008 we entered into our first contract under our product commercialization initiative with Novartis. See Note 1 and Note 10 to the consolidated financial statements as well as “Part I – Item 1A – Risk Factors” of this Form 10-K for additional information regarding the terms of this contract. As of December 31, 2008, we made expenditures of approximately $12.3 million in connection with our sales force activitiesproduct commercialization initiative. During the term of this promotion agreement, we incurred significant expenses in connection with implementing and promotion ofmaintaining the product. To date, we have not achieved theprogram while required product sales levels necessary to receive revenue under our promotionthe agreement with Novartis. We dowere never achieved, and therefore we did not currently anticipate that we will achieve the required sales levels necessary to generate sufficientany revenue to recover the costs we have incurred and will continue to incur in connection withfrom this promotional programagreement during the current term of the contract. We currently intend to terminate this contract at the early termination date for this contract, which is no sooner than February 1, 2010 provided that sales of the product remain below certain pre-determined thresholds. At December 31, 2008, we have accrued a loss of $10.3 million for this contract, which represents the anticipated future loss expected to be incurred by us in order to fulfill our minimum contractual obligations under the contract until February 1, 2010.its term.
While we are not actively pursuingengaged in any additional product commercialization opportunities at this time, we will continue to evaluate potential opportunities within this segment on a very selective and opportunistic basis. To the extent we enter into any additional product commercialization arrangements in the future these types of arrangements will likely require us to makein which all or a significant upfront investmentportion of our resources and are likely to generate losses in the early stages as program ramp up occurs. In addition, any compensation we will receiveanticipated revenue is expected to be dependentbased on sales of the product, and in certain arrangements, including our arrangement with Novartis, we will not receive any compensation unless product sales exceed certain thresholds. Therethere can be no assurance that our promotional activities will generate sufficient product sales for these types of arrangements to be profitable for us.us and our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows could be materially and adversely affected. In addition, there are a number of factors that could negatively impact product sales during the term of a product commercialization contract,sales force promotional program, many of which are beyond our control, including the level of promotionalpromo tional response to the product, withdrawal of the product from the market, the launch of a therapeutically equivalent generic version of the product, the introduction of a competing product, loss of managed care covered lives, a significant disruption in the manufacture or supply of the product as well as other significant events that could affect sales of the product or the prescription market for the product.

If we do not meet performance goals established in our incentive-based and revenue-sharing arrangements with customers, our revenue could be materially and adversely affected.
We have entered into a number of incentive-based arrangements with our pharmaceutical company customers. Under incentive-based arrangements, we are typically paid a lower fixed fee and, in addition, have an opportunity to earn additional compensation upon achieving specific performance metrics with respect to the products being detailed. Typically, these performance metrics relate to targeted sales or prescription volumes, sales force performance metrics or a combination thereof. In addition, we have entered into and may in the future enter into revenue sharing arrangements with customers. Under revenue sharing arrangements, we are typically paid a fixed fee covering all or a portion of our direct costs with our remaining compensation based on the market performance of the products being promoted by us , usually expressed as a percentage of product sales. These types ofincentive-based and revenue sharing arrangements transfer some or most of the market risk from our customers to us. In addition, these arrangements can result in variability in our incentive-basedrevenue and earnings (and therefore our revenue) due to seasonality of product usage, changes in market share, new product introductions (including the introduction of competing generic products into the market), overall promotional efforts and other market related factors. If we are unable to meet the performance goals established in our incentive-based arrangements or the expected product market performance goals in our revenue sharing arrangements, our revenue could be materially and adversely affected.affected
Additionally, certain of our service contracts may contain penalty provisions pursuant to which our fixed fees may be significantly reduced if we do not meet certain minimum performance metrics, which may include number and timing of sales calls, physician reach, territory vacancies and/or sales representative turnover.

Our industry is highly competitive and our failure to address competitive developments promptly will limit our ability to retain and increase our market share.
Our primary competitors for sales and marketing services include in-house sales and marketing departments of pharmaceutical companies, other CSOs and providers of marketing and related services, including marketing research providers. There are relatively few barriers to entry in the businesses in which we compete and, as the industry continues to evolve, new competitors are likely to emerge. Most of our current and potential competitors are larger than we are and have substantially greater capital, personnel and other resources than we have. Increasedhave and certain of our competitors currently offer a broader range of personal and non-personal promotional and other related commercialization services than we do. Our inability to continue to remain competitive with respect to the range of service offerings that we can provide companies within the pharmaceutical industry or any other factors that result in increased competition may lead to pricing pressures and competitive practices that could have a material adverse effect on our market share and our ability to source new business opportunities as well as our business financial condition and results of operations.
We may require additional funds in order to implement our business model.model, which we may be unable to obtain on favorable terms, if at all.
We may require additional funds in order to pursue certain business opportunities or meet future operating requirements, develop incremental marketing and sales capabilities; and/or acquire other services businesses. We may seek additional funding through public or private equity or debt financing or other arrangements with collaborative partners. Our ability to secure any future debt financing on favorable terms or at all may be materially and adversely affected by the current credit market turmoil. In addition, any debt financing arrangements that we enter into may require us to comply with specified financial ratios, including ratios regarding interest coverage, total leverage, senior secured leverage and fixed charge coverage. Our ability to comply with these ratios may be affected by eventsev ents beyond our control. If we raise additional funds by issuing equity securities, further dilution to existing stockholders may result. As a condition to providing us with additional funds, future investors may demand, and may be granted, rights superior to those of existing stockholders. We cannot be certain,certain; however, that additional financing will be available from any of these sources or, if available, will be available on acceptable or affordable terms. If adequate additional funds are not available, we may be required to delay, reduce the scope of, or eliminate one or more of our strategic initiatives.
Due to the expiration and termination of several significant contracts during 2006, 2007 and 2008, our historical revenue and results of operations cannot be relied upon as representative of the revenue and results of operations that we may achieve in 20092010 and future periods.
PDI, Inc.
Annual Report on Form 10-K
As noted above, during 2006 and the first half of 2007, we experienced the expiration and termination of several significant contracts including termination of our AstraZeneca contract sales force agreement effective as of April 30, 2006, the termination of our contract sales force agreement with sanofi-aventis effective as of December 1, 2006, the expiration of our contract sales force agreement with GSK on December 31, 2006 and the expiration of our contract sales force agreement with a large pharmaceutical company customer on May 12, 2007. These four customerswhich accounted for an aggregate of approximately $150.9 million of revenue during 2006 and $15.9 million of revenue during 2007. In addition, another significant sales force program was terminated in 2008 which accounted for approximately $10.7 million of revenue during 2008. Unless and until we generate sufficient new business to offset the loss of these contracts, our financial results for these previous periods will not be duplicated in future periods, and future revenue and cash flows from operations will be significantly less than in previous periods.
The current worldwide economic and financial crisis may have a material and adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
The current global financial crisis involves, among other things, significant reductions in available capital and liquidity from banks and other providers of credit, substantial reductions and/or fluctuations in equity and currency values worldwide. Sustained downturns in the economy generally affect the markets in which we operate. If our customers’ access to capital or willingness to make expenditures is curtailed as a result of the current economic and financial crisis, the demand for our services may decrease and our business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected. For example, certain customers within our Marketing Services segment delayed the implementation or reduced the scope of a number of marketing initiatives during 2009. 60;In addition, economic conditions could affect the financial strength of our vendors and their ability to fulfill their commitments to us, and could also affect the financial strength of our customers and our ability to collect accounts receivable. Recent disruptions in connection with the accrued losscredit markets may also negatively impact our ability to obtain additional sources of financing. The potential effects of the current economic and financial crisis are difficult to forecast and mitigate and are likely to continue to have a significant adverse impact on our product commercialization contract we currently expect a significant decrease incustomers, vendors and our cash and cash equivalents in 2009.business for the next several years.
Our liquidity, business and financial condition results of operations and cash flows could be materially and adversely affected if the financial institutions which hold our funds fail.
We have substantial funds held in bank deposits, money market funds and other accounts at certain financial institutions. A significant portion of the funds held in these accounts exceeds the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation’s insurance limits. If any of the financial institutions where we have deposited funds were to fail, we may lose some or all of our deposited funds that exceed the insurance coverage limit. Such a loss would have a material and adverse effect on our liquidity, business and financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.condition.
Our business may suffer if we fail to attract and retain qualified sales representatives.
The success and growth of our business depends in large part on our ability to attract and retain qualified pharmaceutical sales representatives. There is intense competition for pharmaceutical sales representatives from CSOs and pharmaceutical companies. OnIn addition, in certain instances, we offer customers the option to permanently hire our sales representatives, and on occasion, our customers have hired the sales representatives that we trained to detail their products. We cannot assure you that we will continue to attract and retain qualified personnel. If we cannot attract and retain qualified sales personnel, we will not be able to maintain or expand our sales servicesSales Services business and our ability to perform under our existing sales force contracts will be impaired.

Product liability claims could harm our business.business, and result in substantial penalties.
We could face substantial product liability claims in the event any of the pharmaceutical or other products we have previously marketed or market now or may in the future market is alleged to cause negative reactions or adverse side effects or in the event any of these products causes injury, is alleged to be unsuitable for its intended purpose or is alleged to be otherwise defective. For example, in the past we have beenwere named as a defendant in numerous lawsuits as a result of our detailing of Baycolâ on behalf of Bayer Corporation (Bayer). Product liability claims, regardless of their merits, could be costly and divert management'smanagement’s attention from our business operations, or adverselyoperations; could adve rsely affect our reputation and the demand for our services.services; and could result in substantial civil, criminal, or other sanctions. Additionally, such litigation may incur investigation or enforcement action by the FDA, Department of Justice, state agencies, or other legal authorities, and may result in substantial civil, criminal, or other sanctions. Any action against us, even if we successfully defend against it, could have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations. While we rely on contractual indemnification provisions with our customers to protect us against certain product liability related claims, we cannot assure you that these provisions will be fully enforceable or that they will provide adequate protection against claims intended to be covered. We currently have product liability insurance in the aggregate amount of $5.0 million but cannot ensure that our insurance will be sufficient to cover fully all potential claims. Also, adequate insurance coverage might not be available in the future at acceptable costs, if at all.

If we do not increase our revenues and successfully manage the size of our operations, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected.
The majority of our operating expenses are personnel-related costs such as employee compensation and benefits as well as the cost of infrastructure to support our operations, including facility space and equipment. We recentlyDuring 2009, we instituted a number of cost-saving initiatives, including a reduction in employee headcount. In addition, we are currently seeking to sublet unused office space in our Saddle River, New Jersey and Dresher, Pennsylvania facilities, although there is no guarantee that we will be able to successfully sublet this unused office space, particularly in light of the current economic and financial crisis. If we are unable to achieve revenue growth in the future or fail to adjust our cost infrastructure to the appropriate level to support our revenues, our business, financial conditioncond ition and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected.
Our business may suffer if we are unable to hire and retain key management personnel to fill critical vacancies.
The success of our business also depends on our ability to attract and retain qualified senior management who are in high demand and who often have competitive employment options. We are currently conducting a search for a President of our Sales Services business segment. Our failure to attract and retain qualified individuals could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition orand results of operations.
Changes in governmental regulation could negatively impact our business operations.operations and increase our costs.
The pharmaceutical and life sciences industries are subject to a high degree of governmental regulation. Significant changes in these regulations affecting the services we provide, including pharmaceutical product promotional and marketing research services and physician interaction programs, could result in the imposition of additional restrictions on these types of activities, impose additional costs onto us in providing these services to our customers or otherwise negatively impact our business operations. In addition, changesChanges in governmental regulations mandating price controls and limitations on patient access to our customers’ products could also reduce, eliminate or otherwise negatively impact our customers’ utilization of our sales and marketing services. In addition, potential healthcare reform legislation cu rrently under consideration by the U.S. Congress could significantly increase our costs in providing healthcare benefits to our employees, including a possible mandate requiring that certain benefits be provided to our part-time employees.
Our failure, or that of our customers, to comply with applicable healthcare regulations could limit, prohibit or otherwise adversely impact our business activities.activities and could result in substantial penalties.
Various laws, regulations and guidelines established by government, industry and professional bodies affect, among other matters, the provision, licensing, labeling, marketing, promotion, sale and distribution of healthcare services and products, including pharmaceutical products. In particular, theThe healthcare industry also is governedregulated by various federal and state laws pertaining to healthcare fraud and abuse, including prohibitions on the payment or acceptance of kickbacks or other remuneration in return for the purchase or lease of products that are paid for by Medicare or Medicaid. Violations of these regulations may incur investigation or enforcement action by the FDA, Department of Justice, state agencies, or other legal authorities, and may result in substantial civil, criminal, or other sanctions. Sanctions for violatin g the fraud and abuse laws also may include possible exclusion from Medicare, Medicaid and other federal or state healthcare programs. Additionally, violations of these regulations could result in litigation which could result in substantial civil, criminal, or other sanctions. Further, violations of these regulations may, among other things, limit or prohibit our or our customers’ current or business activities, subject us or our customers to adverse publicity, and increase the cost of regulatory compliance. Sanctions for violating these laws include civil and criminal fines and penalties and possible exclusion from Medicare, Medicaid and other federal or state healthcare programs. Although we believe our current business arrangements do not violate these federal and state fraud and abuse laws, we cannot assure you that our business practices will not be challenged under these laws in the future or that a challenge would not have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.

We have and may continue to experience additional impairment charges of our goodwill and other intangible assets.
Under Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 142, weWe are required to evaluate goodwill for impairment at least annually.annually, and between annual tests if events or circumstances warrant such a test. These events or circumstances could include a significant long-term adverse change in the business climate, poor indicators of operating performance or a sale or disposition of a significant portion of a reporting unit. We test goodwill for impairment at the reporting unit level, which is one level below our operating segments. Goodwill has been assigned to the reporting units to which the value of the goodwill relates. We currently have five reporting units; however, only one reporting unit, Pharmakon, includes goodwill. If we determine that the fair value is less than the carrying value, an impairment loss will be recorded in our statementstateme nt of operations. The determination of fair value is a highly subjective exercise and can produce significantly different results based on the assumptions used and methodologies employed. If our projected long-term sales growth rate, profit margins or terminal growth rate are considerably lower and/or the assumed weighted averageweighted-average cost of capital is considerably higher, future testing may indicate impairment and we would have to record a non-cash goodwill impairment loss in our statement of operations. During the year ended December 31, 2009, we recorded an impairment charge of $18.1 million related to goodwill and other intangible assets. See Note 6, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, in Part II – “Financial Statements and Supplementary Data” for further information.

If our insurance and self-insurance reserves are insufficient to cover our future liabilities for workers compensation, automobile and general liability and employee health care benefits, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected.
We use a combination of insurance and self-insurance to provide for potential liabilities for workers’ compensation, automobile and general liability and employee health care benefits. Although we have reserved for these liabilities not covered by third-party insurance, our reserves are only an estimate based on estimates developed using actuarial data as well as on historical trends, and anytrends. Any projection of these losses is subject to a high degree of variability and we may not be able to accurately predict the number or value of the claims that occur in the future. In the event that our actual liability exceeds our reserves for any given period or if we are unable to control rapidly increasing health care costs, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected.
If our information technology and communications systems fail or we experience a significant interruption in their operation, our reputation, business and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected.
The efficient operation of our business is dependent on our information technology and communications systems. The failure of these systems to operate as anticipated could disrupt our business and result in decreased revenue and increased overhead costs. In addition, we do not have complete redundancy for all of our systems and our disaster recovery planning cannot account for all eventualities. Our information technology and communications systems, including the information technology systems and services that are maintained by third party vendors, are vulnerable to damage or interruption from natural disasters, fire, terrorist attacks, malicious attacks by computer viruses or hackers, power loss or failure of computer systems, Internet, telecommunications or data networks. If these systems or services become unavailable or suffer a security breach, we may expend significant resources to address these problems, and our reputation, business and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected.
If we incur problems with any of our third party service providers, our business operations could be adversely affected.
We have historically relied on outside vendors for a variety of services and functions significant to our businesses. In the event one or more of our vendors ceases operations, terminates its service contract or otherwise fails to perform its obligations to us in a timely and efficient manner, we may be unable to replace these vendors on a timely basis at comparable prices, which could adversely affect our ability to satisfy our contractual obligations to our customers or otherwise meet business objectives and could lead to increases in our cost structure.
If we are unable to successfully sublet unused office space, our financial condition and cash flows could be materially and adversely affected.
During the fourth quarter of 2009, we exited our Saddle River, New Jersey facility and relocated our corporate headquarters to a smaller, less costly and more strategically located office space in Parsippany, New Jersey. We are currently seeking to sublease our third floor office space, approximately 47,000 square feet, in Saddle River, New Jersey. At December 31, 2009, we had future minimum lease payments associated with the Saddle River, New Jersey facility totaling $14.2 million offset by future minimum sublease rental income totaling $5.7 million. Additionally, we are currently seeking to sublease approximately 22,100 square feet of unused space at our Dresher, Pennsylvania facility. There can be no assurance, however, that we will be able to successfully sublet any or all of our unused office space, on favorable terms or at all, particularly in light of the current economic conditions. The recognition of these charges requires estimates and judgments regarding lease termination costs and other exit costs when these actions take place. Actual results may vary from these estimates.

We may make acquisitions in the future which may lead to disruptions to our ongoing business.
Historically, we have made a number of acquisitions, and we may pursue new acquisition opportunities in the future. If we are unable to successfully integrate an acquired company, the acquisition could lead to disruptions to our business. The success of an acquisition will depend upon, among other things, our ability to:
| | · | assimilate the operations and services or products of the acquired company; |
| | · | integrate new personnel associated with the acquisition; |
| | · | retain and motivate key employees; |
| | · | minimize the diversion of management’s attention from other business concerns. |
In the event that the operations of an acquired business do not meet our performance expectations, we may have to restructure the acquired business or write-off the value of some or all of the assets of the acquired business, including goodwill and other intangible assets identified at time of acquisition.
In addition, the current market for acquisition targets in our industry is extremely competitive, and there can be no assurance that we will be able to successfully identify, bid for and complete acquisitions necessary or desirable to achieve our goals.
Our quarterly revenues and operating results may vary, which may cause the price of our common stock to fluctuate.
Our quarterly operating results may vary as a result of a number of factors, including:
| | · | the commencement, delay, cancellation or completion of sales and marketing programs; |
| | · | regulatory developments; |

| | · | uncertainty about when, if at all, revenue from any product commercialization arrangements and/or other incentive-based arrangements with our customers will be recognized; |
| | · | mix of services provided and/or mix of programs during the period; |
| | · | timing and amount of expenses for implementing new programs and accuracy of estimates of resources required for ongoing programs; |
| | · | timing and integration of any acquisitions; |
| | · | changes in regulations related to pharmaceutical companies; and |
| | · | general economic conditions, including the current economic and financial crisis. |
In addition, in the case of revenue related to service contracts, we recognize revenue as services are performed, while program costs, other than training costs, are expensed as incurred. For all contracts, training costs are deferred and amortized on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the life of the contract to which they relate or 12 months. As a result, during the first two to three months of a new contract, we may incur substantial expenses associated with implementing that new program without recognizing any revenue under that contract. In addition, if we pursue additional product commercialization opportunities, we will incur similar implementation expenses and likely will not be able to recognize revenue from the contract, if any, for an even greater period of time after commencement of these types of programs. This could have a material adverse impact on our operating results and the price of our common stock for the quarters in which these expenses are incurred. For these and other reasons, we believe that quarterlyquarterl y comparisons of our financial results are not necessarily meaningful and should not be relied upon as an indication of future performance. Fluctuations in quarterly results could materially and adversely affect the market price of our common stock in a manner unrelated to our long-term operating performance.
Our stock price is volatile and could be further affected by events not within our control, and an investment in our common stock could suffer a decline in value.
The market for our common stock is volatile. During 2009, our stock traded at a low of $2.80 and a high of $6.25. In 2008, our stock traded at a low of $3.10 and a high of $9.40. During 2007, our stock traded at a low of $8.56 and a high of $12.40. The trading price of our common stock has been and will continue to be subject to:
| | · | volatility in the trading markets generally, including volatility associated with the current economic and financial crisis in the United States and worldwide; |
| | · | significant fluctuations in our quarterly operating results; |
| | · | significant changes in our cash and cash equivalent reserves; |
| | · | announcements regarding our business or the business of our competitors; |
| | · | strategic actions by us or our competitors, such as acquisitions or restructurings; |
| | · | industry and/or regulatory developments; |
| | · | changes in revenue and revenue growth rates for us and for our industry as a whole; |

| | · | changes in accounting standards, policies, guidance, interpretations or principles; and |
| | · | statements or changes in opinions, ratings or earnings estimates made by brokerage firms or industry analysts relating to the markets in which we operate or expect to operate. |
Our controlling stockholder continues to have effective control of us, which could delay or prevent a change in corporate control that may otherwise be beneficial to our stockholders.
John P. Dugan, our chairman, beneficially owns approximately 34% of our outstanding common stock. As a result, Mr. Dugan is able to exercise substantial control over the election of all of our directors and to determine the outcome of most corporate actions requiring stockholder approval, including a merger with or into another company, the sale of all or substantially all of our assets and amendments to our certificate of incorporation. This ownership concentration will limit our stockholders’ ability to influence corporate matters and, as a result, we may take actions that other stockholders do not view as beneficial, which may adversely affect the market price of our common stock.
PDI, Inc.
Annual Report on Form 10-K (continued)
We have anti-takeover defenses that could delay or prevent an acquisition and could adversely affect the price of our common stock.
Our certificate of incorporation and bylaws include provisions, such as providing for three classes of directors, which may make it more difficult to remove our directors and management and may adversely affect the price of our common stock. In addition, our certificate of incorporation authorizes the issuance of "blank check" preferred stock. This provision could have the effect of delaying, deterring or preventing a future takeover or a change in control, unless the takeover or change in control is approved by our board of directors. We are also subject to laws that may have a similar effect. For example, section 203 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware prohibits us from engaging in a business combination with an interested stockholder for a period of three years from the date the person becamebeca me an interested stockholder unless certain conditions are met. As a result of the foregoing, it will be difficult for another company to acquire us and, therefore, could limit the price that possible investors might be willing to pay in the future for shares of our common stock. In addition, the rights of our common stockholders will be subject to, and may be adversely affected by, the rights of holders of any class or series of preferred stock that may be issued in the future.

We have entered into two subleases for a combined total of approximately 37,000 square feet at our Saddle River facility for a term of five years which began in July 2005. The sublease allows the subtenant to renew for an additional term of two years. In July 2007, we entered into an additional sublease for approximately 20,000 square feet of space in our Saddle River facilityrun for the remaining term of our lease.

Bayer-Baycol Litigation
We have beenwere named as a defendant in numerous lawsuits, including two class action matters, alleging claims arising from the use of Baycol, a prescription cholesterol-lowering medication. Baycol was distributed, promoted and sold by Bayer in the United States until early August 2001, at which time Bayer voluntarily withdrew Baycol from the U.S. market. Bayer had retained certain companies, such as PDI,us, to provide detailing services on its behalf pursuant to contract sales force agreements. We may be named in additional similar lawsuits. To date, we have defended these actions vigorously and have asserted a contractual right of defense and indemnification against Bayer for all costs and expenses we incur relating to these proceedings. In February 2003, we entered into a joint defense and indemnification agreement with Bayer, pursuant to which Bayer has agreed to assume substantially all of our defense costs in pending and prospective proceedings and to indemnify us in these lawsuits, subject to certain limited exceptions. Further, Bayer agreed to reimburse us for all reasonable costs and expenses incurred through such date in defending these proceedings. As of December 31, 2008, Bayer has reimbursed us for approximately $1.6 million in legal expenses, the majority of which was received in 2003 and was reflected as a credit within selling, general and administrative expense. We did not incur any costs or expenses relating to these matters during 2006, 2007 or 2008.
the years ended December 31, 2009, 2008 and 2007. In July 2009, the final Baycol lawsuit in which we were named as a defendant was dismissed, and as of December 31, 2009, there were no pending Baycol-related claims against us.

Other Legal Proceedings
We are currently a party to other legal proceedings incidental to our business. As required, we have accrued our estimate of the probable costs for the resolution of these claims. While management currently believes that the ultimate outcome of these proceedings, individually and in the aggregate, will not have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, or results of operations or cash flow, litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties. IfWere we were to settle a proceeding for a material amount or ifwere an unfavorable ruling were to occur, there exists the possibility of a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition or results of operations.

| MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS |
The following Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and the related notes appearing elsewhere in this Form 10-K.
OVERVIEW
We are a leading provider of contract sales teamsoutsourced promotional services in the United States to pharmaceutical companies. Additionally, we provide marketing research and physician interaction programs.programs to the same customer base. Our services offer customers a range of promotional options for the commercialization of their products throughout theirthose products’ lifecycles, from development through maturity.
Our business depends in large part on demand from the pharmaceutical and life scienceshealthcare industries for outsourced sales and marketing services. In recent years, this demand has been adversely impacted by certain industry-wide factors affecting pharmaceutical companies, in recent years, including, among other things, pressures on pricing and access, successful challenges to intellectual property rights (including the introduction of competitive generic products), a strict regulatory environment and decreased pipeline productivity. Recently, there has been a slow-down in the rate of approval of new products by the FDA and this trend may continue. Additionally, a number of pharmaceutical companies have recently made changes to their commercial models by reducing the number of sales representatives employed internally and throughthro ugh outside organizations like PDI. A very significant sourceportion of our revenue is derived from our sales force arrangements with large pharmaceutical companies, and we have therefore been significantly impacted by cost control measures implemented by these companies, including a substantial reduction in the number of sales representatives deployed. This hasThese trends culminated in the expiration or termination of a number of our significant sales force contracts during 2006 and 2007, including our sales force engagements with AstraZeneca, GlaxoSmithKline, sanofi-aventis and another large pharmaceutical company customer. These four customers accounted for approximately $150.9 millionthe past three years, which resulted in revenue during 2006 and $15.9 million in revenue during 2007. In addition, a significant sales force program for one ofdecrease in our clients was terminated, effective September 30, 2008, due to generic product competition. This program accounted for approximately $10.7 million in revenue in 2008.revenue. This reduction in demand for outsourced pharmaceutical sales and marketing services could behas been further exacerbated by the currentrecent economic and financial crisis occurring in the United States and worldwide. For example, during 2008 and 2009, certain Marketing Services customers within our marketing services business segment have recently delayed the implementation or reduced the scope of a number of marketing initiatives. In addition, we continue to experience a high degree of customer concentration, and th is trend may continue as a result of recent and continuing consolidation within the pharmaceutical industry. If companies in the life sciences industries significantly reduce their promotional, marketing and sales expenditures or significantly reduce or eliminate the role of pharmaceutical sales representatives in the promotion of their products, our business, financial condition and results of operations would be materially and adversely affected.
While we recognize that there is currently significant volatility in the markets in which we provide services, we believe there are opportunities for growth of our salesSales Services and marketing servicesMarketing Services businesses, which provide our pharmaceutical company clientscustomers with the flexibility to successfully respond to a constantly changing market and a means of controlling costs through outsourcing.promotional outsourcing partnerships. In particular, we believe that the significant reduction in the number of pharmaceutical sales representatives within the industry during the past few years is placing increasing demands on our customers’ product portfolios and therefore we expect the market share penetration of outsourced sales organizations to increase in order to address these needs. We have recently intensified our focus on strengthening all aspects of the core CSOoutsourced pharmaceutical sales teams business that we believe will most favorably position PDI as the best in class contract salesbest-in-class outsourced promotional services organization in the United States. In addition, we also continue to focus on enhancing our commercialization capabilities by aggressively promoting and broadening the depth of the value-added service offerings of our existing marketing services businesses, TVG and Pharmakon.Marketing Services segment.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
We prepare our financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). The preparation of financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with GAAP requires our management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions at a specific point in time that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and disclosed in the accompanying notes. These assumptions and estimates are inherently uncertain. Outlined below are accounting policies, which are important to our financial position and results of operations, and require the most significant judgments on the part of our management in their application. Some of those judgments can be subjective and complex. Management’s estimates are based on historical experience, informationinfor mation from third-party professionals, facts and circumstances available at the time and various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Additionally, changes in estimates could have a material impact on our consolidated results of operations in any one period. For a summary of all of our significant accounting policies, including the accounting policies discussed below, see Note 1, Nature of Business and Significant Account Policies, to our consolidated financial statements.
Revenue and Associated CostsCost of Services
We recognize revenue from services rendered when the following four revenue recognition criteria are met: persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; services have been rendered; the selling price is fixed or determinable; and collectability is reasonably assured. Many of the product detailing contracts allow for additional periodic incentive fees to be earned if certain performance benchmarks have been attained.
Revenue and associated costs under pharmaceutical detailing contracts areis generally based on the number of physician details made or the number of sales representatives utilized. With respect to risk-based contracts, all or a portion of revenues earned are based on contractually defined percentages of either product revenues or the market value of prescriptions written and filled in a given period. These contracts are generally for terms of one to two years and may be renewed or extended. The majority of these contracts, however, are terminable by the customer for any reason upon 30 to 90 days’ notice. Certain contracts provide for termination payments if the customer terminates the agreement without cause. Typically, however, these penalties do not offset the revenue we could have earned under thet he contract or the costs we may incur as a result of its termination.
Revenue earned from incentive fees is recognized in the period earned and when we are reasonably assured that payment will be made. Under performance based contracts, revenue is recognized when the performance criteria has been achieved. Many contracts also stipulate penalties if agreed upon performance benchmarks have not been met. Revenue is recognized net of any potential penalties until the performance criteria relating to the penalties have been achieved. Commission based revenue is recognized when performance is completed. Revenue from recruiting and hiring contracts is recognized at the time the candidate begins full-time employment less a provision for sales allowances based on contractual commitments and historical experience.
The loss or termination of a large pharmaceutical detailing contract or the loss of multiple contracts could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations. Historically, we have derived a significant portion of its service revenue from a limited number of customers. Concentration of business in the pharmaceutical services industry is common and the industry continues to consolidate. As a result, we are likely to continue to experience significant customer concentration in future periods. For the year ended December 31, 2009 our two largest customers, who each individually represented 10% or more of our service revenue, together accounted for approximately 58.5% of our service revenue. For the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, our threeth ree largest customers, who each individually represented 10% or more of our service revenue, together accounted for approximately 52.5% and 37.9% of itsour service revenue, respectively. For the year ended December 31, 2006 our two largest customers, who each individually represented 10% or more of our service revenue, together accounted for approximately 46.8% of our service revenue. See Note 14, Significant Customers, to our consolidated financial statements.statements for additional information.
Revenue and associated costs under marketing service contracts are generally based on a singleseries of deliverable such as aservices associated with the design and execution of interactive promotional program, accredited continuing medical education seminarprograms or marketing research/advisory program.programs. The contracts are generally terminable by the customer for any reason. Upon termination, the customer is generally responsible for payment for all work completed to date, plus the cost of any nonrefundable commitments made on behalf of the customer. There is significant customer concentration in our Pharmakon business, and the loss or termination of one or more of Pharmakon’s large master service agreements could have a material adverse effect on our business financial condition orand results of operations. Due to the typical size of most contracts of TVG and VIM,contracts, it is unlikely the loss or termination of any individual TVG or VIM contract would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.
ServiceRevenue from certain promotional contracts that include more than one service offering is accounted for as multiple-element arrangements. For these contracts, the deliverable elements are divided into separate units of accounting provided the following criteria are met: the price is fixed and determinable; the delivered elements have stand-alone value to the customer; there is objective and reliable evidence of the fair value of the undelivered elements; and there is no right of return or refund. The contract revenue is recognizedthen allocated to the separate units of accounting based on product detailing programstheir relative fair values. Revenue and certain marketing, promotional and medical education contracts ascost of services are performed andrecognized for each unit of accounting separately as the right to receive payment for therelated services is assured.

Revenue and associated costs from marketing research contracts areis recognized upon completion of the contract. These contracts are generally short-term in nature typically lasting from two to six months.

Annual Report on Form 10-K (continued)
Under our promotional program included in the product commercialization segment, we recognize revenue quarterly based on a specified formula set forth in our product commercialization agreement with Novartis related to product sales for the quarter. We will not receive any compensation during any quarter in which product sales are below certain thresholds established for that quarter as set forth in the agreement. Revenues recognized (if any) under this agreement will be directly impacted by prescription data provided by a third party vendor and other information provided by Novartis. Additionally, we must perform a minimum number of sales calls to designated physicians each year, and the failure to satisfy this requirement could result in penalties being imposed on PDI or provide the customer with the ability to terminate the agreement.
Cost of services consist primarily of the costs associated with executing product detailing programs, performance based contracts or other sales and marketing services identified in the contract. Cost of services include personnel costs and other costs associated with executing a product detailing or other marketing or promotional program, as well as the initial direct costs associated with staffing a product detailing program. Such costs include, but are not limited to, facility rental fees, honoraria and travel expenses, sample expenses and other promotional expenses.These costs are expensed as incurred.
Personnel costs, which constitute the largest portion of cost of services, include all labor related costs, such as salaries, bonuses, fringe benefits and payroll taxes for the sales representatives, sales managers and professional staff that are directly responsible for executing a particular program. Initial direct program costs are those costs associated with initiating a product detailing program, such as recruiting, hiring, and training the sales representatives who staff a particular product detailing program. All personnel costs and initial direct program costs, other than training costs, are expensed as incurred for service offerings.
Reimbursable out-of-pocket expenses include those relating to travel and other similar costs, for which the Company iswe are reimbursed at cost by itsour customers. Reimbursements received for out-of-pocket expenses incurred are characterized as revenue and an identical amount is included as cost of goods and services in the consolidated statements of operations.
Training costs include the costs of training the sales representatives and managers on a particular product detailing program so that they are qualified to properly perform the services specified in the related contract. For the majority of the Company’sour contracts, training costs are reimbursable out-of-pocket expenses. For contracts where the Company iswe are responsible for training costs, these costs are deferred and amortized on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the life of the contract to which they relate or 12 months.
Contract Loss Provisions
Provisions for losses to be incurred on contracts are recognized in full in the period in which it is determined that a loss will result from performance of the contractual arrangement. Performance based contracts have the potential for higher returns but also an increased risk of contract loss as compared to the traditional fee for service contracts. We recognized a contract loss related to our product commercialization agreement in 2008. See Note 10 to our consolidated financial statements.
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
We maintain allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of our customers to make required payments. We review a customer’s credit history before extending credit. We establish an allowance for doubtful accounts based on the aging of a customer’s accounts receivable or when we become aware of a customer’s inability to meet its financial obligations (e.g., a bankruptcy filing). We operate almost exclusively in the pharmaceutical industry and to a great extent our revenue is dependent on a limited number of large pharmaceutical companies. We also partner with customers in the emerging pharmaceutical sector, some of whom may have limited financial resources. A general downturn in the pharmaceutical industry or a material adverse event to one or more of our emerging pharmaceutical customers could result in higher than expected customer defaults requiring additional allowances.

Goodwill, Intangibles and Other Long-Lived Assets
We allocate the cost of acquired companies to the identifiable tangible and intangible assets and liabilities acquired, with the remaining amount being classified as goodwill. Since the entities we have acquired do not have significant tangible assets, a significant portion of the purchase price has been allocated to intangible assets and goodwill. The identification and valuation of these intangible assets and the determination of the estimated useful lives at the time of acquisition, as well as the completion of annual impairment tests require significant management judgments and estimates. These estimates are made based on, among other factors, consultations with an accredited independent valuation consultant, reviews of projected future operating results and business plans, economic projections, anticipatedan ticipated future cash flows and the cost of capital. The use of alternative estimates and assumptions could increase or decrease the estimated fair value of goodwill and other intangible assets, and potentially result in a different impact to our results of operations. Further, changes in business strategy and/or market conditions may significantly impact these judgments thereby impacting the fair value of these assets, which could result in an impairment of the goodwill and acquired intangible assets.
We test goodwill for impairment at least annually (as of December 31) and whenever events or circumstances change that indicate impairment may have occurred. These events or circumstances could include a significant long-term adverse change in the business climate, poor indicators of operating performance or a sale or disposition of a significant portion of a reporting unit. We test goodwill for impairment at the reporting unit level, which is one level below its operating segments. Goodwill has been assigned to the reporting units to which the value of the goodwill relates. We currently have sixfive reporting units; however, only one reporting unit, Pharmakon, includes goodwill. Goodwill isWe tested goodwill by estimating the fair value of the reporting unit using a discounted cash flow model.model and a market multiple approach. The estimated fair value of the reporting unit is then compared with theits carrying value including goodwill, to determine if any impairment exists. In assessing the recoverability of goodwill, projections regarding the highest and best use of estimated future cash flows and other factors are made to determine the fair value of the respective reporting units. The key estimates and factors used in the discounted cash flow valuation include revenue growth rates and profit margins based on internal forecasts, terminal value and thea market participant’s weighted-average cost of capital used to discount future cash flows. During our 2009 annual impairment testing as of December 31, 2009, we recognized an $8.5 million impairment charge.
PDI, Inc.
Annual Report on Form 10-K (continued)
We review the recoverability of long-lived assets and finite-lived intangible assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of such assets may not be recoverable. If the sum of the expected future undiscounted cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the asset, an impairment loss is recognized by reducing the recorded value of the asset to its fair value measured by future discounted cash flows. This analysis requires estimates of the amount and timing of projected cash flows and, where applicable, judgments associated with, among other factors, the appropriate discount rate. Such estimates are critical in determining whether any impairment charge should be recorded and the amount of such charge if an impairment loss is deemed to be necessary. Duri ng the fourth quarter of 2009, we recognized an impairment charge of $9.6 million related to our customer relationships and tradename. In addition, future events impacting cash flows for existing assets could render a write-down or write-off necessary that was not previously required no such write-down or write-off.required.
While we use available information to prepare our estimates and to perform impairment evaluations, actual results could differ significantly from these estimates or related projections, resulting in additional impairment and losses related to recorded goodwill or long-lived assetasset balances.
Contingencies
In the normal course of business, we are subject to various contingencies. ContingenciesLoss contingencies are recorded in the consolidated financial statements when it is probable that a liability will be incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated, or otherwise disclosed.estimated. We are currently involved in certain legal proceedings and, as required, we have accrued our estimate of the probable costs for the resolution of these claims. These estimates are developed in consultation with outside counsel and are based upon an analysis of potential results, assuming a combination of litigation and settlement strategies. Predicting the outcome of claims and litigation is an inherently subjective and complex process and estimating related costs and exposures involves substantial uncertainties that couldmay cause actual costsresults to vary materiallydiffer m aterially from our estimates.
Income Taxes
We account for income taxes using the asset and liability method. This method requires recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for expected future tax consequences of temporary differences that currently exist between tax bases and financial reporting bases of our assets and liabilities based on enacted tax laws and rates. A valuation allowance is established, when necessary, to reduce the deferred income tax assets when it is more likely than not that all or a portion of a deferred tax asset will not be realized.
PDI, Inc.
Annual Report on Form 10-K (continued)
We operate in multiple tax jurisdictions and provide taxes in each jurisdiction where we conduct business and are subject to taxation. The breadth of our operations and the complexity of the various tax laws require assessments of uncertainties and judgments in estimating the ultimate taxes we will pay. The final taxes paid are dependent upon many factors, including negotiations with taxing authorities in various jurisdictions, outcomes of tax litigation and resolution of proposed assessments arising from federal and state audits. We have established estimated liabilities for uncertain federal and state income tax exposures that arise.positions. These accruals represent accounting estimates that are subject to inherent uncertainties associated with the tax audit process.proc ess. We adjust these accruals as facts and circumstances change, such as the progress of a tax audit. We believe that any potential audit adjustments will not have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or liquidity. However, any adjustments made may be material to our consolidated results of operations for a reporting period.
Significant judgment is also required in evaluating the need for and magnitude of appropriate valuation allowances against deferred tax assets. We currently have significant deferred tax assets resulting from net operating loss carryforwards and deductible temporary differences. The realization of these assets is dependent on generating future taxable income. We perform an analysis quarterly to determine whether the expected future income will more likely than not be sufficient to realize the deferred tax assets. Our recent operating results and projections of future income weighed heavily in our overall assessment. The minimum amount of future taxable income that would have to be generated to realize our net deferred tax assets is approximately $30$46 million and the existing and forecas ted levels of pretax earnings for financial reporting purposes are not sufficient to generate this amount of future taxable income.income and realize our deferred tax assets. As a result, we established a full federal and state valuation allowance for the net deferred tax assets at December 31, 20082009 and 20072008 because we determined that it was more likely than not that these assets would not be realized.

Self-Insurance Accruals
We also are self-insured for benefits paid under employee healthcare programs. Our liability for healthcare claims is estimated using an underwriting determination which is based on the current year’s average lag days between when a claim is incurred toand when it is paid. We maintain stop-loss coverage with third-party insurers to limit our total exposure on all of these programs. Periodically, we evaluate the level of insurance coverage and adjust insurance levels based on risk tolerance and premium expense.

Forfeitures are initially estimated based on historical information and subsequently updated over the life of the awards to ultimately reflect actual forfeitures. As a result, changes in forfeiture activity can influence the amount of stock compensation cost recognized from period to period.period-to-period.
We primarily use the Black-Scholes option pricing model to determine the fair value of stock options and stock-based stock appreciation rights (SARs). The determination of the fair value of stock-based payment awards is made on the date of grant and is affected by our stock price as well as assumptions made regarding a number of complex and subjective variables. These assumptions includinginclude: our expected stock price volatility over the term of the awards,the awards; actual and projected employee stock option exercise behaviors,behaviors; the risk-free interest rate,rate; and expected dividend yield. Our assumptions are detailedmore fully described in Note 13, Stock-Based Compensation, to our consolidated financial statements.
Changes in the valuation assumptions could result in a significant change to the cost of an individual award. However, the total cost of an award is also a function of the number of awards granted, and as result, we have the ability to manage the cost and value of our equity awards by adjusting the number of awards granted.

Revenue for the year ended December 31, 2009 was $84.9 million, or 24.6% less than revenue of $112.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2008. Sales Services’ revenue for the year ended December 31, 2009 decreased by approximately $16.4 million, or 18.3%, as compared to the year ended December 31, 2008 primarily due to a reduction in sales force engagements. Sales Services’ revenue from new contracts and expansions of existing contracts was more than offset by lost revenue from the internalization of our contract sales force by one of our long-term customers and the expiration or termination of certain sales force arrangements in effect during 2008.
Marketing Services’ revenue for the year ended December 31, 2009 decreased by approximately $7.1 million, or 29.8%, as compared to the year ended December 31, 2008. This was primarily attributable to a decrease in revenue within our TVG business unit of $2.8 million due to fewer projects in 2009, and a decrease in our Pharmakon business unit of $2.0 million due to a reduction in the number of projects performed for its two largest customers due to delays in the implementation or reduced scope of a number of marketing initiatives in the first six months of 2009. The segment was also affected by a decrease in revenue of approximately $2.3 million in our Vital Issues in Medicine business unit which closed in 2009.

Annual Report on Form 10-K (continued)
PC Services had no revenue for the year ended December 31, 2009 and had negative revenue of $1.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2008 due to a non-refundable upfront payment made to Novartis as per the terms of our former promotion agreement.
Cost of services
Cost of services for the year ended December 31, 2009 was $58.6 million, or 45.8% less than the cost of services of $108.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2008. Sales Services’ cost of services decreased for the year ended December 31, 2009 versus the comparable prior year period primarily due to a reduction in the average sales representative headcount and related costs correlating to an overall reduction in the number and size of our sales force engagements. Marketing Services’ cost of services decreased $5.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2009 versus the comparable prior year period due to the decline in revenue attributable to the overall continued softness in the market for these types of services. PC Services’ cost of services was a credit of $2.5 million for th e year ended December 31, 2009 due to the reversal of the excess amount of our 2008 contract loss accrual. PC Services had cost of services of $22.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2008, including $10.3 million that was recorded in the fourth quarter of 2008 related to the accrued contract loss. See Note 11, Product Commercialization Contract, to our consolidated financial statements for additional details.
Gross profit
The overall increase in gross profit percentage from 4.0% for the year ended December 31, 2008 to 31.0% for the year ended December 31, 2009 was primarily the result of the impact of our product commercialization contract with Novartis. The year ended December 31, 2009 benefited from the reversal of the excess contract loss accrual of approximately $2.5 million associated with the settlement of our promotional agreement within PC Services. The year ended December 31, 2008 had negative gross profit of approximately $23.6 million associated with the promotion agreement, including $10.3 million related to the contract loss accrual mentioned above. Sales Services’ gross profit percentages were 21.4% and 20.5% for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. The 2009 increase i n gross profit was attributable to an increase in gross profit percentage within the Shared Sales Teams business unit due to: lower fuel and mileage reimbursement costs; lower insurance costs; and certain operating efficiencies within our Shared Sales Teams. Gross profit percentage for the Marketing Services increased to 48.0% for the year ended December 31, 2009 from 40.8% for the year ended December 31, 2008. This increase was driven by improved margins at Pharmakon and TVG, both of which had increases of approximately five percentage points, as well as closing our lower-margin Vital Issues in Medicine business unit during the quarter ended September 30, 2009. The Pharmakon margin improvement was driven primarily by a change in its product mix on a year-over-year basis.

The decrease in compensation expense for the year ended December 31, 2009 was primarily the result of 2008 costs of approximately $0.5 million related to replacing our former chief executive officer not recurring in 2009. As a percentage of revenue, compensation expense for the year ended December 31, 2009 increased to 26.3% as compared to 20.3% for the year ended December 31, 2008. This percentage increase was primarily due to the decrease in revenue in 2009. The increase in Sales Services was primarily attributable to greater recruiting and hiring costs during the year ended December 31, 2009. Marketing Services’ compensation expense was comparable in both periods. Compensation expense for the year ended December 31, 2009 in Marketing Services included approximately $0.8 million in severance costs which were essentially offset by our savings from headcount reductions.
PC Services’ compensation expense decreased for the year ended December 31, 2009 as compared to the prior year period as a result of the April 2009 termination of our promotion agreement within PC Services.

Total other selling, general and administrative expenses increased by approximately $0.7 million, or 4.2%, for the year ended December 31, 2009. This increase was primarily due to higher consulting costs, partially offset by lower facility and depreciation costs. As a percentage of revenue, other selling, general and administrative expenses increased to 20.6% in 2009 from 14.9% in 2008. This percentage increase can be attributed to lower revenue in 2009. The increase in the Sales Services segment of $1.4 million was primarily due to the redistribution of corporate costs that were allocated to PC Services in 2008.
Executive severance
For the year ended December 31, 2009, we incurred approximately $0.2 million in executive severance costs associated with the departure of an executive in Marketing Services. During the year ended December 31, 2008, we incurred approximately $1.2 million in executive severance costs that related to the departure of our former chief executive officer and an executive departure in Marketing Services.
Asset impairment
For the year ended December 31, 2009, we incurred approximately $18.1 million in asset impairment charges within Marketing Services. These impairment charges were associated with the write-down of goodwill of $8.5 million and other intangible assets of $9.6 million in our Pharmakon business unit. The recent decline in revenue from significant customers in the business unit, the decrease in new business generated by this business unit and uncertain economic conditions within the United States and the pharmaceutical industry were the main factors contributing to the impairment.
Facilities realignment
For the year ended December 31, 2009, Sales Services incurred charges of approximately $4.7 million related to office space at our Saddle River facility and approximately $1.9 million related to the impairment of fixed assets associated with the office space. For the year ended December 31, 2009, Marketing Services incurred charges of approximately $1.4 million related to office space at our Dresher facility and approximately $0.7 million related to the impairment of fixed assets associated with the office space. In 2008, we had charges of approximately $75,000 related to the excess office space at our Dresher facility.
Operating loss
There was an operating loss of $40.6 million and $36.4 million during the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. The operating loss in 2009 was primarily attributable to the asset impairment charges of $18.1 million and the facilities realignment charges of $8.7 million discussed above. The operating loss in 2008 is primarily attributable to the $26.2 million in negative revenue and expenses associated with our promotional program within PC Services in 2008. Excluding the impact of the asset impairment and facilities realignment charges, both the 2009 and 2008 operating results were negatively impacted by declining revenues over relatively flat operating expenses.
Other income, net
Other income, net for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008 was approximately $0.2 million and $2.8 million, respectively, and consisted primarily of interest income. The decrease in interest income is primarily due to lower interest rates and lower average cash balances for the year ended December 31, 2009.
Provision for income taxes
We recorded a benefit for income tax of $6.8 million in 2009 and a provision for income taxes of $0.9 million for 2008. Our overall effective tax rate was a benefit of 16.9% and a provision of 2.6% for 2009 and 2008, respectively. The tax benefit for 2009 was primarily attributable to the ability to carry back federal net operating losses to additional tax years under the Worker, Homeownership, and Business Assistance Act, (the “Act”) passed in November 2009. Prior to the passing of the Act, we had established a full valuation allowance against our net operating losses. In connection with the impairment of goodwill at the Pharmakon business unit during 2009, the deferred tax liabil ity at December 31, 2008 reversed and resulted in a current year tax benefit of approximately $1.4 million.

Operating loss
The increased operating loss infor the year ended December 31, 2008 iswas primarily attributable to the $26.2 million in negative revenue and expenses associated with our promotional program within the product commercialization segment.PC Services. This was partially offset by a reduction in our total operating expenses of approximately $5.0 million, or 10.8%.
InterestOther income, net
InterestOther income, net for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007 was approximately $2.8 million and $6.1 million, respectively.respectively, and consisted primarily of interest income. The decrease is primarily attributable to a decrease in interest income for the year ended December 31, 2008 was primarily due to lower interest rates and lower average cash balances for 2008 as well as smaller available cash balances.that year.
Provision for income taxes
We recorded a provision for income taxes of $0.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2008 and $1.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2007. Our overall effective tax rate was a provision of 2.6% and a provision of 21.5% for 2008 and 2007, respectively. The tax provision for the year ended December 31, 2007 is primarily attributable to the full valuation allowance on the net deferred tax assets except for the basis difference in goodwill. Federal tax attribute carryforwards at December 31, 2008, consistconsisted primarily of approximately $29.2 million of net operating losses and $339,000 of capital losses. In addition, at December 31, 2008, we havehad approximately $63.5 million of state net operating losses carryforwards. The utilization of the federal carryforwards as an available offset to future taxableta xable income is subject to limitations under federal income tax laws. If the federal net operating losses are not utilized, they will begin to expire in 2027 and if the current state net operating losses are not utilized they begin to expire in 2009. The capital losses can only be utilized against capital gains and $339,000 will expire in 2009.
Net loss
There was a net loss of $34.5 million in 2008, compared to a net loss of $10.0 million in 2007, due to the factors discussed above.

The decrease in total revenues of $122.1, or 51.0%, was primarily related to the termination of several large contracts in 2006. Effective April 30, 2006, AstraZeneca terminated its contract sales force arrangement with us, which represented approximately $43.0 million of revenue in 2006. On September 26, 2006, we announced that GSK would not be renewing its contract with us when it expired on December 31, 2006. This contract represented $67.4 million of revenue in 2006. On October 25, 2006, we announced that we had received notification from

sanofi-aventis of its intention to terminate its contract sales engagement with us effective December 1, 2006. This contract represented approximately $18.3 million of revenue in 2006. Additionally, on March 21, 2007, we announced that a large pharmaceutical company customer had notified us of its intention not to renew its contract sales engagement with us upon its scheduled expiration on May 12, 2007. This contract, which had a one-year term, provided for approximately $37 million of annual revenue and represented a $7.1 million decline in revenue when compared to 2006. The loss in revenue from those terminated and expired contracts was partially offset by new sales force arrangements we entered into during 2007, including a contract sales force engagement for our Select Access business unit in March 2007, which generated approximately $12.0 million in revenue in 2007 and a dedicated contract sales force engagement entered into during June 2007 that generated approximately $14.6 million in revenue in 2007.
The sales services segment revenue decreased by $116.0 million compared to 2006 primarily due to the contract terminations as described above.
Revenue for the marketing services segment decreased by $6.1 million, or 16.8%, which was attributable to a $3.9 million decrease in TVG revenue, as well as decreases at both Pharmakon and VIM due to fewer projects at all three business units.
The product commercialization segment did not have any revenue in either period.

The sales services segment had a reduction of $95.2 million in cost of services, which is primarily attributable to the contract terminations mentioned above. Cost of services within the marketing services segment decreased approximately $2.7 million, or 13.7%, due to fewer projects at all three business units. The product commercialization segment had no costs of services expense in either 2007 or 2006.
The two primary reasons for the increase in gross profit percentage were: 1) the higher margin businesses within marketing services were a greater portion of consolidated revenue than they were in the prior period (25.9% in 2007 vs. 15.3% in 2006); and 2) the gross profit percentage for Select Access increased from 15.2% in 2006 to 21.4% in 2007. This increase was primarily a result of fixed service costs (i.e., sales force management) being a smaller percentage of total revenue as Select Access revenue increased approximately 63.7% in 2007.

The increase in gross profit percentage for the sales services segment can be primarily attributed to Select Access. The decrease in total sales services’ gross profit can be attributed to the contract terminations discussed above. The segment benefited from recognizing $550,000 in revenue and gross profit in 2007 associated with a contract with a former emerging pharmaceutical client for services performed in 2006. Because of the uncertainty surrounding collections, we recognized revenue from this client on a cash basis. All costs associated with this contract were recognized in 2006. The segment also benefited from recognizing $558,000 in revenue and gross profit in 2007 associated with accrued penalties with a former sales force client. Because the likelihood of paying these penalties was deemed remote, the accrual was reversed in the fourth quarter of 2007 and recognized as revenue.

Annual Report on Form 10-K (continued)
The decrease in gross profit attributable to the marketing services segment was commensurate with the decrease in revenue discussed above as total gross profit decreased at all three business units. The gross profit percentage decreased to 44.1% from 46.1% in the comparable prior year period.

The decrease in compensation expense for both sales services and marketing services segments in 2007 was the result of reduced headcount and unfilled executive positions when compared to 2006. As a percentage of total revenue, compensation expense increased to 20.9% for 2007 from 11.7% in 2006 primarily due to the decrease in revenue.

Total other SG&A expenses decreased primarily due to the following: 1) a decrease in audit and related costs of $1.5 million; 2) a decrease in facility costs of approximately $390,000; 3) a reduction in business insurance expense of approximately $400,000; and 4) approximately $600,000 less in marketing expense. These decreases were partially offset by an approximately $550,000 accrual in state franchise taxes pertaining to one particular state’s assessment. As a percentage of total revenue, other SG&A expenses increased to 17.1% from 9.5% in 2006 due to the decrease in revenue in 2007.
Executive severance
In 2007, we did not have any executive severance costs. In 2006, we incurred approximately $573,000 in executive severance costs that related to the departure of one executive.
Legal and related costs
In 2007, we had legal expenses of approximately $335,000, which primarily pertained to legal expenses incurred by us in the ordinary course of business. In 2006, we had a net credit to legal expense of $3.3 million. The credit to legal expense included approximately $3.5 million in cash received in relation to the Cellegy litigation matter and approximately $516,000 in credits related to the reversing of the California class action lawsuit accrual. For details on both legal matters, see Note 9 to the consolidated financial statements.
Facilities realignment
In 2007, we had net charges of approximately $1.0 million primarily related to the impairment of fixed assets and other expenses related to our exiting the computer data center space at our Saddle River, New Jersey location in December 2007. Total charges in 2007 for the sales services segment were approximately $1.0 million and approximately $26,000 was credited to the marketing services segment. In 2006, we had net charges of approximately $657,000 related to unused office space capacity at our Saddle River, New Jersey and Dresher, Pennsylvania locations and approximately $1.3 million in expense related to the impairment of fixed assets associated with the unused office space at these facilities.

Operating loss (income)
The operating loss in 2007 is primarily attributable to the decline in revenue and gross profit in the sales services segment due to the termination of sales force contracts mentioned previously. There was an operating loss in 2007 for the marketing services segment of $362,000 compared to operating income of $2.8 million in 2006. The decrease in operating income from marketing services segment was primarily attributable to a decrease in revenue and gross profit at all three units due to fewer projects.

There was no operating income from product commercialization in 2007.
Interest income, net
Interest income, net, for 2007 and 2006 was approximately $6.1 million and $4.7 million, respectively. The increase is primarily attributable to an increase in interest rates for 2007 as well as larger available cash balances.
Provision for income taxes
We recorded a provision for income taxes of $1.8 million for 2007, compared to a benefit for income taxes of $724,000 for 2006. Our overall effective tax rate was a provision of 21.5% and a benefit of 6.8% for 2007 and 2006, respectively. The tax provision for 2007 was primarily attributable to the full valuation allowance on the net deferred tax assets except for the basis difference in goodwill. Federal tax attribute carryforwards at December 31, 2007, consisted primarily of approximately $9.7 million of net operating losses and $339,000 of capital losses.

The net non-cash items consist primarily of asset impairment charges of $18.1 million, depreciation and amortization of $4.6$2.8 million, deferred income taxesnon-cash facility realignment charges of $0.3$2.6 million and stock-based compensation of $1.5$1.4 million. The net change in operating assets and liabilities resulted primarily from decreases in accounts receivable of $7.0 million, unbilled costs of $1.0 million and unearned contract revenue of $4.8 million, and increase in accrued contract loss of $10.0 million. The decreases in accounts receivable, unbilled costs and unearned contract revenue are primarily as a result of the decline in revenue in 2008. The increase in accrued contract loss is due to our product commercialization agreement as discussed above.
As of December 31, 2008,2009, we had $2.5$3.5 million of unbilled costs and accrued profits on contracts in progress.

In addition, we are obligated to spend at least $7.0 million per year during the term on promotional activities relating to this product. In addition, we provided a $1.0 million upfront payment to Novartis in the second quarter of 2008 as per the terms of the agreement. Under this arrangement, we will be compensated each quarter based on a specified formula set forth in the contract relating to product sales during the quarter. Therefore, if we are unable to increase the sales of the product above a pre-determined quarterly threshold amount, it could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. In 2008, we incurred losses associated with this promotional program of approximately $23.6 million.projected sublease income.

These sources of liquidity are needed to fund our working capital requirements, contractual obligations and estimated capital expenditures in 2009 of approximately $1.0 million in 2010. We expect our working capital requirements to increase as a result of new customer contracts generally providing for longer than historical payment terms.
We continue to right-size our facilities and remainingcorporate structure on a go-forward basis. In 2009, we incurred approximately $8.7 million in facilities realignment charges pertaining to office space at our Saddle River and Dresher facilities. During the third quarter of 2009, management committed to a cost savings initiative to exit our three-floor Saddle River, New Jersey facility and relocate our corporate headquarters to a smaller, strategically located office space in Parsippany, New Jersey. In November 2009, we signed a seven and one-half year lease for approximately 23,000 square feet of office space in Parsippany, New Jersey commencing on or about January 1, 2010. The minimum contractual obligations underlease payments associated with this lease total $4.4 million. We are currently seeking to sublease ou r third floor office space, approximately 47,000 square feet, in Saddle River, New Jersey. Additionally, we are currently seeking to sublease approximately 22,000 square feet of unused space at our product commercialization agreement for which there is approximately $10.0 million accruedDresher, Pennsylvania facility. There can be no assurance, however, that we will be able to successfully sublet all of our unused office space, on favorable terms or at December 31, 2008.all, particularly in light of the current economic conditions. The recognition of these charges requires certain sublease assumptions and estimates and judgments regarding lease termination costs and other exit costs when these actions take place. Actual results may vary from these estimates.

Although we expect to incur a net loss for the year ending December 31, 2009,2010, we believe that our existing cash balances and expected cash flows generated from operations will be sufficient to meet our operating requirements for at leastbeyond the next 12 months. However, we may require alternative forms of financing if and when we make acquisitions.to achieve our longer-term strategic plans.

Our results of operations have varied, and are expected to continue to vary, from quarter to quarter. These fluctuations result from a number of factors including, among other things, seasonality of the products we promote and the timing of commencement, completion or cancellation of major contracts. In the future, our revenue may also fluctuate as a result of a number of additional factors, including the types of products we market and sell, delays or costs associated with acquisitions, government regulatory initiatives and conditions in the healthcare industry generally. Revenue, generally, is recognized as services are performed. Program costs, other than training costs, are expensed as incurred. As a result, we may incur substantial expenses associated with staffing a new detailing program during the first two to three months of a contract without recognizing any revenue under that contract. This could have an adverse impact on our operating results for the quarters in which those expenses are incurred. Revenue related to performance incentives is recognized in the period when the performance based parameters are achieved and payment is assured. A significant portion of this revenue could be recognized in the first and fourth quarters of a year.

EFFECT OF NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
Recently Issued
Recent Adopted Standards
In December 2007,June 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 168, “The FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles—a replacement of FASB Statement No. 162” (SFAS No. 168). SFAS No. 141 (Revised 2007), “Business Combinations” (FAS 141R). FAS 141R continues168 was codified as Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 105-10 and replaces SFAS No. 162, “The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles,” to require the purchase method of accounting to be applied to all business combinations, but it significantly changes the accounting for certain aspects of business combinations. Under FAS 141R, an acquiring entity will be required to recognize all the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a transaction at the acquisition-date fair value with limited exceptions. FAS 141R will change the accounting treatment for certain specific acquisition related items including: (1) expensing acquisition related costs as incurred; (2) valuing noncontrolling interests at fair value at the acquisition date; and (3) expensing restructuring costs associated with an acquired business. FAS 141R also includes a substantial number of new disclosure requirements. FAS 141R is to be applied prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after January 1, 2009. We expect FAS 141R will have an impact on our accounting for any future business combinations once adopted but the effect is dependent upon the nature and timing of any acquisitions that may be made in the future.
In June 2008,establish the FASB approved FASB Staff Position (FSP) EITF 03-6-1, “Determining Whether Instruments Granted in Share-Based Payment Transactions Are Participating Securities” (FSP EITF 03-6-1)ASC as the source of authoritative, nongovernmental GAAP, except for rules and interpretive releases of the SEC, which is effective January 1, 2009. FSP EITF 03-6-1 clarifies that share-based payment awards that entitle holders to receive non-forfeitable dividends before they vest will be considered participating securities andare sources of authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. All other non-grandfathered, non-SEC accounting literature not included in the basic earnings per share calculation. PriorASC became nonauthoritative. We began using the new guidelines and numbering system prescribed by the ASC when referring to May 30, 2008, our stock award agreements provided for nonforfeitable dividend rightsGAAP in the third quarter of 2009. As the ASC was not intended to unvested restricted stock awards and, consequently, these awards are participating securities as defined in this FSP. On May 31, 2008, we revised our stock award agreements for future grants so that unvested shares are non-participating securities. We are currently evaluating thechange or alter existing GAAP, it did not have any impact of adopting FSP EITF 03-6-1 on our consolidated financial positionstatements.
Effective April 1, 2009, we adopted three accounting standard updates which were intended to provide additional application guidance and results of operations.
Recently Adopted Standards
SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (FAS 157) definesenhanced disclosures regarding fair value establishes a frameworkmeasurements and impairments of securities. They also provide additional guidelines for measuringestimating fair value and expands disclosures aboutin accordance with fair value measurements. This standard isaccounting. The first update, as codified in ASC 820-10-65, provides additional guidelines for estimating fair value in accordance with fair value accounting. The second accounting update, as codified in ASC 320-10-65, changes accounting requirements for other-than-temporary-impairments of debt securities by replacing the current requirement that a holder have the positive intent and ability to hold an impaired security to recovery in order to conclude an impairment was temporary with a requirement that an entity conclude it does not intend to and it will not be applied when other standards require or permitrequired to sell the useimpaired security before the recovery of its amortized cost basis. The third accounting update, as codified in ASC 825-10-65, increases the frequency of fair value measurementdisclosures. These updates were effective for fiscal years and interim periods ended after June 15, 2009. The adoption of these accounting standard updates did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
In February 2008, the FASB issued an asset or liability. SFAS 157 was adopted on January 1, 2008accounting standard update that, as codified in ASC 820-10, delayed the effective date of fair value measurements accounting until the beginning of the first quarter of fiscal 2009 for all financialnon-financial assets and non-financial liabilities, andexcept for nonfinancial assets and liabilitiesitems that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in our consolidatedthe financial statements on a recurring basis (at least annually). For all, including goodwill and other nonfinancial assetsnon-amortizable intangible assets. The provisions of ASC 820-10 will be applied at such time a fair value measurement of a non-financial asset or non-financial liability is required and liabilities, SFAS 157may result in a fair value that is materially different. We adopted this accounting standard update effective on January 1, 2009. The initial adoption of FAS 157this update had no impact on our consolidated financial positionstatements.
Effective January 1, 2009, we adopted a new accounting standard update regarding business combinations. As codified under ASC 805, this update requires that the purchase method be used for all business combinations and for an acquirer be identified for each business combination. ASC 805 defines the acquirer as the entity that obtains control of one or results of operations; however, we are now required to provide additional disclosures as part of its financial statements. See Note 6, Fair Value Measurements. We are stillmore businesses in the process of evaluating this standard with respect to its effect on nonfinancial assetsbusiness combination and liabilities and, therefore, have not yet determinedestablishes the impactacquisition date as the date that it will have our financial statements upon full adoption in 2009. Nonfinancial assets and liabilities for which we have not applied the provisions of FAS 157 include those measured at fair value in impairment testing and those initially measured at fair valueacquirer achieves control. ASC 805 requires an acquirer in a business combination.
In February 2007,combination, including business combinations achieved in stages (step acquisitions), to recognize the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assetsassets acquired, liabilities assumed and Financial Liabilities-including an amendmentany noncontrolling interest in the acquiree at the acquisition date fair value, with limited exceptions. It also requires the acquisition-date recognition of FASB Statement No. 115” (FAS 159). FAS 159 permits entities to elect to measure eligible financial instrumentsass ets acquired and liabilities assumed arising from certain contractual contingencies at their acquisition-date fair value. We would report unrealized gains and losses on items forAdditionally, ASC 805 requires that acquisition-related costs be recognized in theperiod in which the fair value option has been elected in earnings at each subsequent reporting date, and recognize upfront costs and fees related to those items in earnings asare incurred and not deferred. We adopted FAS 159 as of January 1, 2008. We did not applyservices are received. Excluding the fair value option toaccounting for valuation allowances on deferred taxes and acquired contingencies under ASC 805-740, any of its outstanding instruments and, therefore,impact resulting from the adoption of FAS 159ASC 805 is being applied on a prospective basis for all business combinations with an acquisition date on or after January 1, 2009. The adoption of this update had no impact on our consolidated financial statements.
Effective January 1, 2009, we adopted a new accounting standard update from the Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) consensus regarding unvested share-based payment awards that contain nonforfeitable rights to dividends. This update, as codified in ASC 260-10-45, requires that unvested share-based payment awards that contain nonforfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents (whether paid or unpaid), are participating securities and are included in the computation of earnings per share pursuant to the two-class method. The provisions of ASC 260 10-45 did not have ana material impact on our financial condition or results of operations.

Accounting Standards Updates Not Yet Effective
In September 2009, the FASB issued Update No. 2009-13, “Multiple-Deliverable Revenue Arrangements—a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force” (ASU 2009-13). ASU 2009-13 updates the existing multiple-element revenue arrangements guidance currently included under ASC 605-25. The revised guidance eliminates the need for objective and reliable evidence of the fair value for the undelivered element in order for a delivered item to be treated as a separate unit of accounting and eliminates the residual method to allocate arrangement consideration. In addition, the updated guidance also expands the disclosure requirements for revenue recognition. ASU 2009-13 is effective for us beginning January 1, 2011 and can be applied prospectively or retrospectively. We are currently evaluating the impact this update will have, if any, on our consolidated financial statements.
| QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK |
We are exposed to market risk for changes in the market values of some of our investments (investment risk) and the effect of interest rate changes (interest rate risk). Our financial instruments are not currently subject to foreign currency risk or commodity price risk. We have no financial instruments held for trading purposes and we have no interest bearing long termlong-term or short termshort-term debt. At December 31, 2009, 2008, 2007, and 2006,2007, we did not hold any derivative financial instruments.
The objectives of our investment activities are: to preserve capital, maintain liquidity, and maximize returns without significantly increasing risk. In accordance with our investment policy, we attempt to achieve these objectives by investing our cash in a variety of financial instruments. These investments are principally restricted to government sponsored enterprises, high-grade bank obligations, investment-grade corporate bonds, certain money market funds of investment grade debt instruments such as obligations of the U.S. Treasury and U.S. Federal Government Agencies, municipal bonds and commercial paper.
Investments in both fixed rate and floating rate interest earning instruments carry a degree of interest rate risk. Fixed rate securities may have their fair market value adversely impacted due to a rise in interest rates, while floating rate securities may produce less income than expected if interest rates fall. Due in part to these factors, our future investment income may fall short of expectations due to changes in interest rates or we may suffer losses in principal if forced to sell securities that have seen a decline in market value due to changes in interest rates. Our cash and cash equivalents and short termshort-term investments at December 31, 20082009 were composed of the instruments described in the preceding paragraph. If interest rates were to increase or decrease by one percent, the fair valuev alue of our investments would have an insignificant increase or decrease primarily due to the quality of the investments and the relative near term maturity.

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that: (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
In our opinion, PDI, Inc. maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2008,2009, based on the COSO criteria.
We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheets of PDI, Inc. as of December 31, 20082009 and 2007,2008, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 20082009 of PDI, Inc. and our report dated March 11, 20095, 2010 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
The Board of Directors and Stockholders of PDI, Inc.: |
The Board of Directors and Stockholders of PDI, Inc.:
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of PDI, Inc. as of December 31, 20082009 and 2007,2008, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2008.2009. Our audits also included the financial statement schedule listed in the Index at Item 15(a)(2). These financial statements and schedule are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the financial statements and schedule based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of PDI, Inc. at December 31, 20082009 and 2007,2008, and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2008,2009, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Also, in our opinion, the related financial statement schedule, when considered in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly in all material respects the information set forth therein.
We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), PDI, Inc.’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2008,2009, based on criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission and our report dated March 11, 20095, 2010 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
| 1. | Nature of Business and Significant Accounting Policies |
Nature of Business
PDI, Inc. together with its wholly-owned subsidiaries (PDI or the Company) is a diversified sales and marketingan outsourced promotional services company serving the biopharmaceutical and life scienceshealthcare industries. See Note 20,19, Segment Information, for additionalfurther information.
Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). The consolidated financial statements include accounts of PDI, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries (TVG, Inc., ProtoCall, Inc., InServe Support Solutions, and PDI Investment Company, Inc.) All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. In the second quarter of 2006, the Company discontinued its Medical Device and Diagnostic (MD&D) business. The MD&D business was part of the Company's sales services reporting segment. The MD&D business is accounted for as a discontinued operation under GAAP and, therefore, the MD&D business results of operations have been removed from the Company's results of continuing operations for 2006. See Note 19, Discontinued Operations.
Accounting Estimates
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts of assets and liabilities reported and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Management's estimates are based on historical experience, facts and circumstances available at the time, and various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Significant estimates include incentives earned or penalties incurred on contracts, loss contract provisions, valuation allowances related to deferred income taxes, self-insurance loss accruals, allowances for doubtful accounts and notes, income tax accruals, asset i mpairments and facilities realignment accruals. The Company periodically reviews these matters and reflects changes in estimates as appropriate. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include unrestricted cash accounts, money market investments and highly liquid investment instruments with original maturity of three months or less at the date of purchase.
Investments in Marketable Securities
Available-for-sale securities are carried at fair value with the unrealized gains or losses, net of tax, included as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in stockholders’ equity. Realized gains and losses and declines in value judged to be other-than-temporary on available-for-sale securities are included in other income (expense), net. The fair values for marketable equity securities are based on quoted market prices. Held-to-maturity investments are stated at amortized cost. Interest income is accrued as earned. Realized gains and losses are computed based upon specific identification and included in interest income, net in the consolidated statement of operations. The Company does not have any investments classified as “trading.”
Receivables and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
Trade accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount and do not bear interest. Management reviews a customer’s credit history before extending credit. The Company has recordedrecords a provision for estimated losses resulting frombased upon the inability of its customers to make required payments based onusing historical experience and periodically adjusts these provisions to reflect actual experience. Additionally, the Company will establish a specific allowance for doubtful accounts when the Companyit becomes aware of a specific customer’s inability or unwillingness to meet its financial obligations (e.g., bankruptcy filing). AllowanceThere was no allowance for doubtful accounts was $0 as of December 31, 20082009 and 2007, respectively.2008. The Company operates almost exclusively in the pharmaceutical industry and to a great extent its revenuerev enue is dependent on a limited number of large pharmaceutical companies. The Company also partners with customers in the emerging pharmaceutical sector, some of whom may have limited financial resources. A general downturn in the pharmaceutical industry or adverse material event to one or more of the Company’s emerging pharmaceutical customers could result in higher than expected customer defaults and additional allowances may be required.

Unbilled Costs and Accrued Profits and Unearned Contract Revenue
In general, contractual provisions, including predetermined payment schedules or submission of appropriate billing detail, establish the prerequisites for billings. Unbilled costs and accrued profits arise when services have been rendered and payment is assured but customers have not been billed. These amounts are classified as a current asset.
Normally, in the case of detailing contracts, the customers agree to pay the Company a portion of the fee due under a contract in advance of performance of services because of large recruiting and employee development costs associated with the beginninginitial phase of a contract.contract performance. The excess of amounts billed over revenue recognized represents unearned contract revenue, which is classified as a current liability.
Loans and Investments in Privately Held Entities
From time to time,time-to-time, the Company makes investments in and/or loans to privately-held companies. The Company determines whether the fair values of any investments in privately held entities have declined below their carrying value whenever adverse events or changes in circumstances indicate that recorded values may not be recoverable. If the Company considers any such decline to be other than temporary (based on various factors, including historical financial results, and the overall health of the investee’s industry), a write-down is recorded to estimated fair value. On a quarterly basis, the Company reviews outstanding loans receivable to determine if a provision for doubtful notes is necessary. These reviews include discussions with senior management of the investee, and evaluations of , among other things, the investee’s progress against its business plan, its product development activities and customer base, industry market conditions, historical and projected financial performance, expected cash needs and recent funding events. The Company records interest income on the impaired loans; however, that amount is fully reserved if the investee is not making its interest payments. Subsequent cash receipts on the outstanding interest would beare applied against the outstanding interest receivable balance and the corresponding allowance. The Company’s assessments of value are highly subjective given that these companiesthe investees may be at an early stage of development and rely regularly on their investors for cash infusions. AtAs of December 31, 2009 and 2008, and 2007, the allowance for doubtful notesCompany had a loan receivable balance of $0.5 million which was approximately $500,000. See Note 5, Loans and Investments in Privately-Held Entities, for additional information.fully reserved.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation and amortization is computedrecognized on a straight-line basis, using the straight-line method, based on estimated useful lives ofof: seven to ten years for furniture and fixtures, threefixtures; two to five years for office and computer equipmentequipment; and ten years for phone systems. Leaseholdleasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of the estimated service lives or the terms of the related leases. Repairs and maintenance are charged to expense as incurred. Upon disposition, the asset and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the related accounts and any gains or losses are reflected in operations. As the prices of computer desktops and laptops continue to decline, more of these computer purchases are falling short of the Company’s minimum price threshold for capitalization and are being expensed.
Software Costs
It is the Company’s policy to capitalize certain costs incurred in connection with developing or obtaining internal-use software. Capitalized software costs are included in property and equipment on the consolidated balance sheet and amortized over the software'ssoftware’s useful life, generally three to seven years. Software costs that do not meet capitalization criteria are expensed immediately.
Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to a significant concentration of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents and investments in marketable securities. The Company maintains deposits in federally insured financial institutions. The Company also holds investments in Treasury money market funds that maintain an average portfolio maturity underless than 90 days and, under the temporary guarantee program for money market funds, are insured by the United States Treasury. Deposits held with financial institutions may exceed the amount of insurance provided on such deposits; however, management believes the Company is not exposed to significant credit risk due to the financial position of the financial institutions in which those deposits are held and the nature of the investments.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company considers carrying amounts of cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses to approximate fair value due to the short-term nature of these financial instruments. Marketable securities classified as “available for sale” are carried at fair value. Marketable securities classified as “held-to-maturity” are carried at amortized cost, which approximates fair value. The fair value of letters of credit is determined to be $0 as management does not expect any material losses to result from these instruments because performance is not expected to be required.
Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
The Company allocates the cost of acquired companies to the identifiable tangible and intangible assets and liabilities acquired, with the remaining amount being classified as goodwill. Since the entities the Company has acquired do not have significant tangible assets, a significant portion of the purchase price has been allocated to intangible assets and goodwill. The identification and valuation of these intangible assets and the determination of the estimated useful lives at the time of acquisition, as well as the completion of annual impairment tests require significant management judgments and estimates. These estimates are made based on, among other factors, consultations with an accredited independent valuation consultant, reviews of projected future operating resultsresu lts and business plans, economic projections, anticipated highest and best use of future cash flows and the market participant cost of capital. The use of alternative estimates and assumptions could increase or decrease the estimated fair value of goodwill and other intangible assets, and potentially result in a different impact to the Company’s results of operations. Further, changes in business strategy and/or market conditions may significantly impact these judgments thereby impacting the fair value of these assets, which could result in an impairment of the goodwill and acquired intangible assets.
The Company tests goodwill for impairment at least annually (as of December 31) and whenever events or circumstances change that indicate impairment may have occurred. These events or circumstances could include a significant long-term adverse change in the business climate, poor indicators of operating performance or a sale or disposition of a significant portion of a reporting unit. The Company tests goodwill for impairment at the reporting unit level, which is one level below its operating segments. Goodwill has been assigned to the reporting units to which the value of the goodwill relates. The Company currently has sixfive reporting units; however, only one reporting unit, Pharmakon, includes goodwill. Goodwill is tested by estimating the fair value of the reporting unit using a discounted cash flow model. The estimated fair value of the reporting unit is then compared with the carrying value including goodwill, to determine if any impairment exists. In assessing the recoverability of goodwill, projections regarding estimated future cash flows and other factors are made to determine the fair value of the respective reporting units. The key estimates and factors used in the highest and best use discounted cash flow valuation include revenue growth rates and profit margins based on internal forecasts, terminal value and the market participant weighted-average cost of capital used to discount future cash flows. While the Company uses available information to prepare estimates and to perform impairment evaluations, actual results could differ significantly from these estimates or related projections, resulting in impairment related to recorded goodwill balances.
During the Company’s 2009 annual impairment test of goodwill, management identified potential impairment. The testing performed asCompany’s management then determined the Pharmakon reporting unit’s goodwill was impaired and recognized an impairment loss of December 31, 2008 and 2007, indicated an excess of estimated fair value over book value for Pharmakon. This unit had goodwill of $13.6$8.5 million since the carrying value of $25.4 million and estimatedthe Pharmakon reporting unit was in excess of its fair value of $27.2 million.value. If the Company’sPharmakon’s projected long-term sales growth rate, profit margins, or terminal rate are considerably lower, and/continue to change, or the assumed weighted averageweighted-average cost of capital is considerably higher, future testing may indicate additional impairment in this reporting unit and, as a result, the relatedremaining goodwill may also be impaired. See Note 4,3, Fair Value Measurements, and Note 6, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, for additional information.
Long-Lived Assets
The Company reviews the recoverability of long-lived assets and finite-lived intangible assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of such assets may not be recoverable. If the sum of the expected future undiscounted cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the asset, an impairment loss is recognized by reducing the recorded value of the asset to its fair value measured by future discounted cash flows. This analysis requires estimates of the amount and timing of projected cash flows and, where applicable, judgments associated with, among other factors, the appropriate discount rate. Such estimates are critical in determining whether any impairment charge should be recorded and the amount of such charge if an impairment loss is deemed to be necessary. In addition, future events impacting cash flows for existing assets could render a write-down or write-off necessary that was not previously required no such write-down or write-off.required.

NotesDuring the year ended December 31, 2009, the Company recorded a non-cash charge of approximately $9.6 million related to the Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)
(tabular information in thousands, except shareimpairment of the Pharmakon intangible assets. See Note 6, Goodwill and per share data)
Other Intangible Assets, for additional information. During the year ended December 31, 2009, the Company recorded non-cash charges of approximately $2.6 million for the impairment of certain furniture, leasehold improvements and office equipment due to the relocation of the Company’s headquarters and the consolidation of certain operations. In December 2007, the Company relocated its data center to a secured, hosted facility and recorded a non-cash charge of approximately $1.1 million related to computer equipment, furniture and leasehold improvements primarily due topreviously used in that data center. Also in 2007, the outsourcing ofCompany subleased the Company’s computerspace formerly occupied by the data center space atin its Saddle River, New Jersey location. In December 2007, the Company relocated its data center to a secured, hosted facility. See Note 16, Facilities Realignment, for additional information. Additionally, in 2007, the Company recorded a non-cash charge of approximately $42,000 related to the impairment of certain capitalized software development costs associated with one of its web portals. In 2006, the Company recorded a non-cash charge of approximately $1.3 million for furniture and leasehold improvements related to the excess leased space at its Saddle River, New Jersey and Dresher, Pennsylvania locations. See Note 16, Facilities Realignment, for additional information.
Self-Insurance Accruals
Prior to October 1, 2008, the Company was self-insured for certain losses for claims filed and claims incurred but not reported relating to workers’ compensation and automobile-related liabilities for Company-leased cars. Beginning October 1, 2008, the Company is fully-insured through an outside carrier for these losses. The Company’s liability for claims filed and claims incurred but not reported prior to October 1, 2008 is estimated on an actuarial undiscounted basis supplied by its insurance brokers and insurers using individual case-based valuations and statistical analysis and is based upon judgment and historical experience, however, the final cost of many of these claims may not be known for five years or longer. The Company also is self-insured for benefits paid under employee healthcare programs. The Company’s liability for healthcare claims is estimated using an underwriting determination which is based on the current year’s average lag days between when a claim is incurred toand when it is paid. The Company maintains stop-loss coverage with third-party insurers to limit its total exposure on all of these programs. Periodically, the Company evaluates the level of insurance coverage and adjusts insurance levels based on risk tolerance and premium expense. Management reviews itsthe self-insurance accruals on a quarterly basis. Actual results may vary from these estimates, resulting in an adjustment in the period of the change in estimate. Prior to October 1, 2008, the Company was also self-insured for certain losses for claims filed and claims incurred but not reported relating to workers’ compensation and automobile-related liabilities for Company-leased cars. Beginning October 1, 2008, the Company became fully-insured through an outside carrier for these losses. The Company’s liability for claims filed and claims incurred but not reported prior to October 1, 2008 is estimated on an actuarial undiscounted basis supplied by our insurance brokers and insurers using individual case-based valuations and statistical analysis. These estimates are based upon judgment and historical experience. However, the final cost of many of these claims may not be known for five years or more after filing of the claim. At December 31, 20082009 and 2007,2008, self-insurance accruals totaled $1.9$1.0 million and $2.9$1.9 million, respectively, and are included in other accrued expenses on the balanceba lance sheet.
Contingencies
In the normal course of business, the Company is subject to various contingencies. ContingenciesLoss contingencies are recorded in the consolidated financial statements when it is probable that a liability will be incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated, or otherwise disclosed. The Company is currently involved in certain legal proceedings and, as required, the Company has accrued its estimate of the probable costs for the resolution of these claims. These estimates are developed in consultation with outside counsel and are based upon an analysis of potential results, assuming a combination of litigation and settlement strategies. Predicting the outcome of claims and litigation, and estimating related costs and exposures, involves substantial uncertainties that could cause actual costs to varyva ry materially from estimates.
Revenue and Associated CostsCost of Services
The Company recognizes revenue from services rendered when the following four revenue recognition criteria are met: persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; services have been rendered; the selling price is fixed or determinable; and collectability is reasonably assured. Many of the product detailing contracts allow for additional periodic incentive fees to be earned if certain performance benchmarks have been attained.
Revenue and associated costs under pharmaceutical detailing contracts are generally is based on the number of physician details made or the number of sales representatives utilized. With respect to risk-based contracts, all or a portion of revenues earned are based on contractually defined percentages of either product revenues or the market value of prescriptions written and filled in a given period. These contracts are generally for terms of one to two years and may be renewed or extended. The majority of these contracts, however, are terminable by the customer for any reason upon 30 to 90 days’ notice. Certain contracts provide for termination payments to the Company if the customer terminates the agreement without cause. Typically, however, these penalties do notonly partially offset the revenue the Company could have earned under the contract or the costs the Company may incur as a result of its termination.
The loss or termination of a large pharmaceutical detailing contract or the loss of multiple contracts could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition or results of operations. Historically, the Company has derived a significant portion of its service revenue from a limited number of customers. Concentration of business in the pharmaceutical services industry is common and the industry continues to consolidate. As a result, the Company is likely to continue to experience significant customer concentration in future periods. For the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, the Company’s three largest customers, who each individually represented 10% or more of its service revenue, together accounted for approximately 52.5% and 37.9% of its service revenue, respectively. For the year ended December 31, 2006 the Company’s two largest customers, who each individually represented 10% or more of its service revenue, together accounted for approximately 46.8% of its service revenue. See Note 14, Significant Customers.

Revenue and associated costs under marketing service contracts are generally based on a single deliverable such as a promotional program, accredited continuing medical education seminar or marketing research/advisory program. The contracts are generally terminable by the customer for any reason. Upon termination, the customer is generally responsible for payment for all work completed to date, plus the cost of any nonrefundable commitments made on behalf of the customer. There is significant customer concentration in the Company’s Pharmakon business, and the loss or termination of one or more of Pharmakon’s large master service agreements could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition or results of operations. Due to the typical size of most contracts of TVG Marketing Research and Consulting (TVG) and Vital Issues in Medicine (VIM)®, it is unlikely the loss or termination of any individual TVG or VIM contract would have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition or results of operations.
Service revenue is recognized on product detailing programs and certain marketing, promotional and medical education contracts as services are performed and the right to receive payment for the services is assured. Many of the product detailing contracts allow for additional periodic incentive fees to be earned if certain performance benchmarks have been attained. Revenue earned from incentive fees is recognized in the period earned and when the Company iswe are reasonably assured that payment will be made. Under performance based contracts, revenue is recognized when the performance based parameters are achieved. Many contracts also stipulate penalties if agreed upon performance benchmarks have not been met. Revenue is recognized net of any potential penalties until the performance criteria relating to the penalties have been achieved. Commissions based revenue is recognized when performance is completed. Revenue from recruiting and hiring contracts is recognized at the time the candidate begins full-time employment less a provision for sales allowances based on contractual commitments and historical experience.
The loss or termination of large pharmaceutical detailing contracts could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations. Historically, the Company has derived a significant portion of its service revenue from a limited number of customers. Concentration of business in the pharmaceutical services industry is common and the industry continues to consolidate. As a result, the Company is likely to continue to experience significant customer concentration in future periods. For the year ended December 31, 2009, the Company’s two largest customers, each of whom individually represented 10% or more of its service revenue, together accounted for approximately 58.5% of its service revenue. For the years ended December 31 , 2008 and 2007, the Company’s three largest customers, each of whom individually represented 10% or more of its service revenue, together accounted for approximately 52.5% and 37.9% of its service revenue, respectively. See Note 14, Significant Customers, for additional information.
Revenue under marketing service contracts are generally based on a series of deliverable services associated with the design and execution of interactive promotional programs or marketing research/advisory programs. The contracts are generally terminable by the customer for any reason. Upon termination, the customer is generally responsible for payment for all work completed to date, plus the cost of any nonrefundable commitments made on behalf of the customer. There is significant customer concentration in the Company’s Pharmakon business, and the loss or termination of one or more of Pharmakon’s large master service agreements could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, and results of operations. Due to the typical small s ize of most contracts of TVG Marketing Research and Consulting (TVG) it is unlikely the loss or termination of any individual TVG contract would have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition or results of operations.
Revenue from certain promotional contracts that include more than one service offering is accounted for as multiple-element arrangements. For these contracts, the deliverable elements are divided into separate units of accounting provided the following criteria are met: the price is fixed and determinable; the delivered elements have stand-alone value to the customer; there is objective and reliable evidence of the fair value of the undelivered elements; and there is no right of return or refund. The contract revenue is then allocated to the separate units of accounting based on their relative fair values. Revenue and associated costscost of services are recognized for each unit of accounting separately as the related services are rendered.
Revenue from marketing research contracts areis recognized upon completion of the contract. These contracts are generally short-term in nature typically lasting two to six months.
Under its promotional program included in the product commercialization segment, the Company recognizes revenue quarterly based on a specified formula set forth in our product commercialization agreement with Novartis related to product sales for the quarter. The Company will not receive any compensation during any quarter in which product sales are below certain thresholds established for that quarter as set forth in the agreement. Revenues recognized (if any) under this agreement will be directly impacted by prescription data provided by a third party vendor and other information provided by Novartis. Additionally, the Company must perform a minimum number of sales calls to designated physicians each year, and the failure to satisfy this requirement could result in penalties being imposed on PDI or provide the customer with the ability to terminate the agreement.
Cost of services consist primarily of the costs associated with executing product detailing programs, performance based contracts or other sales and marketing services identified in the contract. Cost of services include personnel costs and other costs associated with executing a product detailing or other marketing or promotional program, as well as the initial direct costs associated with staffing a product detailing program. Such costs include, but are not limited to, facility rental fees, honoraria and travel expenses, sample expenses and other promotional expenses. These costs are expensed as incurred.
Personnel costs, which constitute the largest portion of cost of services, include all labor related costs, such as salaries, bonuses, fringe benefits and payroll taxes for the sales representatives, sales managers and professional staff that are directly responsible for executing a particular program. Initial direct program costs are those costs associated with initiating a product detailing program, such as recruiting, hiring, and training the sales representatives who staff a particular product detailing program. All personnel costs and initial direct program costs, other than training costs, are expensed as incurred for service offerings.
Reimbursable out-of-pocket expenses include those relating to travel and other similar costs, for which the Company is reimbursed at cost by its customers. Reimbursements received for out-of-pocket expenses incurred are characterized as revenue and an identical amount is included as cost of goods and services in the consolidated statements of operations. For the years ended December 31, 2009, 2008 2007 and 2006,2007, reimbursable out-of-pocket expenses were $8.2 million, $12.6 million $14.3 million and $25.3$14.3 million, respectively.

(tabular information in thousands, except share and per share data)
Training costs include the costs of training the sales representatives and managers on a particular product detailing program so that they are qualified to properly perform the services specified in the related contract. For the majority of the Company’s contracts, training costs are reimbursable out-of-pocket expenses. For contracts where the Company is responsible for training costs, these costs are deferred and amortized on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the life of the contract to which they relate or 12 months.
Contract Loss Provisions
Provisions for losses to be incurred on contractsin connection with contract performance are recognized in full in the period in which it is determined that a loss will result from performance of the contractual arrangement. Performance based contracts have the potential for higher returns but also an increased risk of contract loss as compared to the traditional fee for service contracts. The Company recognized a contract loss related to its existing product commercialization agreement in 2008. At December 31, 2009, the Company had no accrued contract losses. See Note 1011, Product Commercialization Contract, for further information.
Stock-Based Compensation
The compensation cost associated with the granting of stock-based awards is based on the grant date fair value of the stock award. The Company recognizes the compensation cost, net of estimated forfeitures, over the shorter of the vesting period or the period from the grant date to the date when retirement eligibility is achieved. Forfeitures are initially estimated based on historical information and subsequently updated over the life of the awards to ultimately reflect actual forfeitures. As a result, changes in forfeiture activity can influence the amount of stock compensation cost recognized from period to period.
The Company primarily uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model to determine the fair value of stock options and stock-based stock appreciation rights (SARs). The determination of the fair value of stock-based payment awards is made on the date of grant and is affected by the Company’s stock price as well as assumptions made regarding a number of complex and subjective variables. These assumptions include: expected stock price volatility over the term of the awards; actual and projected employee stock option exercise behaviors; the risk-free interest rate; and expected dividend yield. These assumptions are more details.fully described in Note 13, Stock-Based Compensation, to our consolidated financial statements. The fair value of restricted stock units (RSUs) and restricted shares is equal to the closing stock p rice on the date of grant.
Changes in the valuation assumptions could result in a significant change to the cost of an individual award. However, the total cost of an award is also a function of the number of awards granted, and as result, we have the ability to manage the cost and value of our equity awards by adjusting the number of awards granted.
Treasury Stock
Treasury stock purchases are accounted for under the cost method whereby the entire cost of the acquired stock is recorded as treasury stock. Upon reissuance of shares, the Company records any difference between the weighted-average cost of such shares and any proceeds received as an adjustment to additional paid-in capital.
Stock-Based Compensation
On January 1, 2006, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123, (Revised 2004) “Share-Based Payment” (FAS 123R), using the modified prospective approach. Under the modified prospective approach, the amount of compensation cost recognized includes: (i) compensation cost for all share-based payments granted before but not yet vested as of January 1, 2006, based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” (FAS No.123) and (ii) compensation cost for all share-based payments granted or modified subsequent to January 1, 2006, based on the estimated fair value at the date of grant or subsequent modification date in accordance with the provisions of FAS 123R. Prior to January 1, 2006, the Company accounted for stock-based employee compensation using the intrinsic value method under the recognition and measurement principles of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees.”
FAS 123R requires any income tax benefits realized upon the exercise of stock options or issuance of restricted share awards in excess of that which is associated with the expense recognized for financial reporting purposes be presented as a financing activity rather than as an operating activity in the consolidated statement of cash flows. FAS 123R also requires that the Company recognize compensation expense for only the portion of stock options, stock-settled stock appreciation rights (SARs) or restricted shares that are expected to vest. Therefore, the Company applies estimated forfeiture rates that are derived from historical employee termination behavior. The Company applied a forfeiture rate to certain grants in 2007 and 2006. If the actual number of forfeitures differs from those estimated by management, adjustments to compensation expense might be required in future periods.
The Company had no cumulative effect adjustment upon adoption of FAS 123R under the modified prospective method. As a result of adopting FAS 123R on January 1, 2006, net income and net income per share for the year ended December 31, 2006 were $290,000 and $0.02 lower, respectively, than if the Company had continued to account for stock-based compensation under APB 25. See Note 13, Stock-Based Compensation, for further information regarding the Company’s stock-based compensation assumptions and expenses.
Rent Expense
Minimum rental expenses are recognized over the term of the lease. The Company recognizes minimum rent starting when possession of the property is taken from the landlord, which normally includes a construction period prior to occupancy. When a lease contains a predetermined fixed escalation of the minimum rent, the Company recognizes the related rent expense on a straight-line basis and records the difference between the recognized rental expense and the amounts payable under the lease as a deferred lease credits.rent liability. The Company may also may receive tenant allowances including cash or rent abatements, which are reflected in other accrued expenses and long-term liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet andsheet. These allowances are amortized as a reduction toof rent expense over the term of the lease. CertainC ertain leases provide for contingent rents that are not measurable at inception. These contingent rents are primarily based upon use of utilities and the landlord’s operating expenses. These amounts are excluded from minimum rent and are included in the determination of total rent expense when it is probable that the expense has been incurred and the amount is reasonably estimable.

Advertising
The Company recognizes advertising costs as incurred. The total amounts charged to advertising expense, which is included in other SG&A, were approximately $378,000, $290,000 and $825,000 for the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively.
Income taxes
The Company adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes - an Interpretation of FASB Statement 109” (FIN 48)taxes are based on January 1, 2007. FIN 48 prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attributesincome for financial statement recognitionreporting purposes calculated using the Company’s expected annual effective rate and measurementreflect a current tax liability or asset for the estimated taxes payable or recoverable on the current year tax return and expected annual changes in deferred taxes. Any interest or penalties on income tax are recognized as a component of income tax positions taken or expected to be taken in tax returns. In addition, FIN 48 provides guidance on derecognition, classification and disclosure of tax positions, as well as the accounting for related interest and penalties. The Company’s adoption of FIN 48 did not have a material effect on its financial position or results of operations.expense.
The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method. This method requires recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for expected future tax consequences of temporary differences that currently exist between tax bases and financial reporting bases of the Company’s assets and liabilities based on enacted tax laws and rates. Deferred tax expense (benefit) is the result of changes in the deferred tax asset and liability. A valuation allowance is established, when necessary, to reduce the deferred income tax assets when it is more likely than not that all or a portion of a deferred tax asset will not be realized.
The Company operates in multiple tax jurisdictions and pays or provides for the payment of taxes in each jurisdiction where it conducts business and is subject to taxation. The breadth of the Company’s operations and the complexity of the tax law require assessments of uncertainties and judgments in estimating the ultimate taxes the Company will pay. The final taxes paid are dependent upon many factors, including negotiations with taxing authorities in various jurisdictions, outcomes of tax litigation and resolution of proposed assessments arising from federal and state audits. Uncertain tax positions are accounted for under FIN 48. FIN 48 requires that a position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return be recognized in the financial statements when it is more likely than not (i.e., a likelihood of more than fifty percent) that thea position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return would be sustainedsust ained upon examination by tax authorities that have full knowledge of all relevant information. A recognized tax position is then measured atas the largest amount of benefit that is greater than fifty percent likely of beingto be realized upon ultimate settlement. The Company adjusts accruals for unrecognized tax benefits as facts and circumstances change, such as the progress of a tax audit. The Company believes that any potential audit adjustments will not have a material adverse effect on its financial condition or liquidity. However, any adjustments made may be material to the Company’s consolidated results of operations or cash flows for a reporting period.
Significant judgment is also required in evaluating the need for and magnitude of appropriate valuation allowances against deferred tax assets. Deferred tax assets are regularly reviewed for recoverability. The Company currently has significant deferred tax assets resulting from net operating loss carryforwards and deductible temporary differences, which should reduce taxable income in future periods. The realization of these assets is dependent on generating future taxable income.
Earnings per Share
Basic earnings per common share are computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of share outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings per common share are computed by dividing net income by the sum of the weighted average number of shares outstanding and dilutive common shares under the treasury method.
Comprehensive Income
Comprehensive income includes net income and the net unrealized gains and losses on investment securities, net of tax. Other comprehensive income is net of reclassification adjustments to adjust for items currently included in net income, such as realized gains and losses on investment securities. The deferred tax expense for unrealized holding gains arising from investment securities during the year ended December 31, 2009 and 2007 was $7,000 and $18,000, respectively. The deferred tax benefit for unrealized holding losses arising from investment securities during the year ended December 31, 2008 was $11,000. The deferred tax expensebenefit for unrealized holding gains arising fromreclassification adjustments for losses included in net income on investment securities during the year ended December 31, 2007 and 20062009 was $18,000 and $26,000, respectively.$5,000. The deferred taxta x expense for reclassification adjustments for gains included in net income on investment securities during the years ended December 31, 2008 2007 and 20062007 was $11,000 $48,000 and $20,000,$48,000, respectively.

Recently Issued Standards
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (Revised 2007), “Business Combinations” (FAS 141R). FAS 141(R) requires the use of the acquisition method of accounting, defines the acquirer, establishes the acquisition date and broadens the scope to all transactions and other events in which one entity obtains control over one or more other businesses. FAS 141R will change the accounting treatment for certain specific acquisition related items including: (1) expensing acquisition related costs as incurred; (2) valuing noncontrolling interests at fair value at the acquisition date; and (3) expensing restructuring costs associated with an acquired business. FAS 141R also includes a substantial number of new disclosure requirements. This statement is effective for business combinations or transactions entered into for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2008. The Company expects FAS 141R will have an impact on accounting for business combinations once adopted but the effect is dependent upon acquisitions at that time.
In June 2008, the FASB approved FASB Staff Position (FSP) EITF 03-6-1, “Determining Whether Instruments Granted in Share-Based Payment Transactions Are Participating Securities” (FSP EITF 03-6-1) which is effective January 1, 2009. FSP EITF 03-6-1 clarifies that share-based payment awards that entitle holders to receive non-forfeitable dividends before they vest will be considered participating securities and included in the basic earnings per share calculation. Prior to May 30, 2008, the Company’s stock award agreements provided for nonforfeitable dividend rights to unvested restricted stock awards and, consequently, these awards are participating securities as defined in this FSP. On May 31, 2008, the Company revised its stock award agreements for future grants so that unvested shares are non-participating securities. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting FSP EITF 03-6-1 on its consolidated financial position and results of operations.
Recently Adopted Standards
In June 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 168, “The FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles—a replacement of FASB Statement No. 162” (SFAS No. 157, 168). SFAS No. 168 was codified as Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 105-10 and replaces SFAS No. 162, “Fair Value Measurements” The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles(FAS 157) defines,” to establish the FASB ASC as the source of authoritative, nongovernmental GAAP, except for rules and interpretive releases of the SEC, which are sources of authoritati ve GAAP for SEC registrants. All other non-grandfathered, non-SEC accounting literature not included in the ASC became nonauthoritative. The Company began using the new guidelines and numbering system prescribed by the ASC when referring to GAAP in the third quarter of 2009. As the ASC was not intended to change or alter existing GAAP, it did not have any impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
Effective April 1, 2009, the Company adopted three accounting standard updates which were intended to provide additional application guidance and enhanced disclosures regarding fair value establishes a frameworkmeasurements and impairments of securities. They also provide additional guidelines for measuringestimating fair value and expands disclosures aboutin accordance with fair value measurements. This standard isaccounting. The first update, as codified in ASC 820-10-65, provides additional guidelines for estimating fair value in accordance with fair value accounting. The second accounting update, as codified in ASC 320-10-65, changes accounting requirements for other-than-temporary-impairments of debt securities by replacing the current requirement that a holder have the positive intent and ability to hold an impaired security to recovery in order to conclude an impairment was temporary with a requirement that an entity conclude it does not intend to and it will not be applied when other standards require or permitrequired to sell the useimpaired security before the recovery of its amortized cost basis. The third accounting update, as codified in ASC 825-10-65, increases the frequency of fair value measurementdisclosures. These updates were effective for fiscal years and interim periods ended after June 15, 2009. The adoption of these accounting standard updates did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In February 2008, the FASB issued an asset or liability. SFAS 157 was adopted on January 1, 2008accounting standard update that, as codified in ASC 820-10, delayed the effective date of fair value measurements accounting until the beginning of the first quarter of fiscal 2009 for all financialnon-financial assets and non-financial liabilities, andexcept for nonfinancial assets and liabilitiesitems that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the Company’s consolidated financial statements on a recurring basis (at least annually). For all, including goodwill and other nonfinancial assetsnon-amortizable intangible assets. The provisions of ASC 820-10 will be applied at such time a fair value measurement of a non-financial asset or non-financial liability is required and liabilities, SFAS 157may result in a fair value that is materially different. The Company adopted this accounting standard update effective on January 1, 2009. The initial adoption of FAS 157this update had no impact on the Company’s consolidated finan cial statements.
Effective January 1, 2009, the Company adopted a new accounting standard update regarding business combinations. As codified under ASC 805, this update requires that the purchase method be used for all business combinations and that an acquirer is identified for each business combination. ASC 805 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. ASC 805 requires an acquirer in a business combination, including business combinations achieved in stages (step acquisitions), to recognize the assets acquired, liabilities assumed and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree at the acquisition date fair value, with limited exceptions. It also requires the acquisition-date recognition o f assets acquired and liabilities assumed arising from certain contractual contingencies at their acquisition-date fair value. Additionally, ASC 805 requires that acquisition-related costs be recognized in the period in which the costs are incurred and services are received. Excluding the accounting for valuation allowances on deferred taxes and acquired contingencies under ASC 805-740, any impact resulting from the adoption of ASC 805 is being applied on a prospective basis for all business combinations with an acquisition date on or after January 1, 2009. The adoption of this update had no impact on the Company’s consolidated financial positionstatements.
Effective January 1, 2009, the Company adopted a new accounting standard update from the Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) consensus regarding unvested share-based payment awards that contain nonforfeitable rights to dividends. This update, as codified in ASC 260-10-45, requires that unvested share-based payment awards that contain nonforfeitable rights to dividends or resultsdividend equivalents (whether paid or unpaid), are participating securities and are included in the computation of operations; however,earnings per share pursuant to the two-class method. As a result of adopting ASC 260-10-45, the Company restated prior year earnings per share calculations. The provisions of ASC 260-10-45 did not have a material impact on the Company’s earnings per share calculation.
Accounting Standards Updates Not Yet Effective
In September 2009, the FASB issued Update No. 2009-13, “Multiple-Deliverable Revenue Arrangements—a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force” (ASU 2009-13). ASU 2009-13 updates the existing multiple-element revenue arrangements guidance currently included under ASC 605-25. The revised guidance eliminates the need for objective and reliable evidence of the fair value for the undelivered element in order for a delivered item to be treated as a separate unit of accounting and eliminates the residual method to allocate arrangement consideration. In addition, the updated guidance also expands the disclosure requirements for revenue recognition. ASU 2009-13 is effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2011 and can be applied prospectively or retrospectively. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this update will have, if any, on its consolidated financial statements.
| 3. | Fair Value Measurements |
Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In determining fair value, the Company uses various methods including market, income and cost approaches. Based on these approaches, the Company often utilizes certain assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risk and/or the risks inherent in the inputs to the valuation technique. These inputs can be readily observable, market-corroborated, or generally unobservable inputs. The Company utilizes valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. Based upon observable inputs used in the valuation techniques, the Company is now required to provide additional disclosuresinformation according to the fair value hierarchy. The fair value hierarchy ranks the quality and reliability of the information used to determine fair values into three broad levels as partfollows:
PDI, Inc.
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
(tabular information in thousands, except share and per share data)
| Level 1: | Valuations for assets and liabilities traded in active markets from readily available pricing sources for market transactions involving identical assets or liabilities. |
| Level 2: | Valuations for assets and liabilities traded in less active dealer or broker markets. Valuations are obtained from third-party pricing services for identical or similar assets or liabilities. |
| Level 3: | Valuations incorporate certain assumptions and projections in determining the fair value assigned to such assets or liabilities. |
In instances where the determination of the fair value measurement is stillbased on inputs from different levels of the fair value hierarchy, the level in the processfair value hierarchy within which the entire fair value measurement falls is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The Company’s assessment of evaluating this standard with respectthe significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its effect on nonfinancial assetsentirety requires judgment, and liabilities and, therefore, has not yet determinedconsiders factors specific to the impact that it will have onasset or liability.
A description of the valuation methodologies used for the Company’s financial statements upon full adoptioninstruments measured on a recurring basis at fair value, including the general classification of such instruments pursuant to the valuation hierarchy, is set forth below.

The Company considers carrying amounts of accounts receivable, accounts payable and those initiallyaccrued expenses to approximate fair value due to the short-term nature of these financial instruments. The fair value of letters of credit is determined to be $0 as management does not expect any material losses to result from these instruments because performance is not expected to be required.
The Company’s non-financial assets, such as goodwill and intangible assets are measured at fair value in a business combination.
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assetswhen there is an indicator of impairment and Financial Liabilities-including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115” (FAS 159). FAS 159 permits entities to elect to measure eligible financial instrumentsrecorded at fair value.value only when an impairment charge is recognized.

A review of Pharmakon’s historic, current and forecasted operating results indicated that the carrying amount of the Company’s finite-lived intangible assets may not be recoverable from the sum of future undiscounted cash flows. As a result, customer relationships and the corporate tradename were written down to their fair value of approximately $2.5 million, resulting in an impairment charge of approximately $9.6 million included in asset impairment in the consolidated statements of operations. Goodwill was tested by estimating the fair value option has been elected in earnings at each subsequentof the reporting date,unit using a consideration of market multiples and recognize upfront costsa discounted cash flow model and fees relatedwas written down to those items in earnings as incurred.

InDuring the year ended December 31, 2009, the Company recorded a non-cash charge of approximately $2.6 million for furniture, leasehold improvements and office equipment related to the vacated space in Saddle River, New Jersey and for furniture and leasehold improvements related to the Dresher, Pennsylvania facility. During the year ended December 31, 2007, the Company recorded a non-cash charge of approximately $1.0 million for furniture and leasehold improvements related to the excess leased space at its Saddle River New Jersey and Dresher Pennsylvania locations. The charges discussed above can be found in the facilities realignment line on the income statement in their respective period. See Note 14,16, Facilities Realignment, for additional information.
4.6. | Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets |
There have been no changesGoodwill and finite-lived intangible assets recorded as of December 31, 2009 and 2008 are attributable to the 2004 acquisition of Pharmakon. During the Company’s annual goodwill impairment test as of December 31, 2009, management identified a potential impairment. The Company’s management then determined the Pharmakon reporting unit’s goodwill was impaired and recognized an impairment loss of $8.5 million since the carrying value of the Pharmakon reporting unit was in excess of its fair value. As of December 31, 2009 and 2008, the carrying amount of goodwill was $5.1 million and $13.6 million, respectively.
During the Company’s annual budgeting process and based on the evaluation of $13.6historic, current, budgeted and forecasted operating results, there were indications that the carrying amount of the Company’s finite-lived intangible assets, customer relationships and corporate tradename, may not be recoverable from the sum of future undiscounted cash flows. Impairments of $0.8 million for the years endedcorporate tradename and $8.8 million for the customer relationships were calculated as the amount by which the carrying value of each asset exceeded its fair value and was recorded within asset impairment in the consolidated statement of operations.
The fair value of the corporate tradename, with the assistance of third-party valuation analysts, was determined using the “Relief from Royalty Method” (RFRM), a variation of the “Income Approach” to valuing tradenames. The RFRM is used to estimate the cost savings that accrue to the owner of an intangible asset who would otherwise have to pay royalties or license fees on revenues earned through the use of the asset. The royalty rate is based on empirical, market-derived royalty rates for guideline intangible assets when available. The royalty rate is applied to the projected revenue over the expected remaining life of the intangible asset to estimate the royalty savings. The net after-tax royalty savings are calculated for each year in the remaining economic life of the intangible asset and discounted to prese nt value. Additionally, as part of the analysis, the operating income of Pharmakon was benchmarked to determine a range of royalty rates that would be reasonable based on a profit-split methodology. The profit-split methodology is based upon assumptions that the total amount of royalties paid for licensable intellectual property should approximate in order to determine a reasonable royalty rate to estimate the fair value of the corporate tradename. As of December 31, 20082009, the amortizable life of the corporate tradename was determined to be seven years.
The fair value of the customer relationship was determined using the “Excess Earnings Method” a variation of the “Income Approach” to valuing customer relationships. This method reflects the present value of the operating cash flows generated by existing customer relationships after taking into account the cost to realize the revenue, and 2007.
an appropriate discount rate to reflect the time value and risk associated with the invested capital. The valuation analysis for the customer relationships was based on the reporting unit’s revenue projections with consideration given to: an estimated attrition rate; the value and required rate of return for other contributory assets of the reporting unit; and the benefit of tax amortization of the customer relationships. As of December 31, 2009, the amortizab le life of the customer relationships was determined to be seven years.

The Company determined its $1.0 million investment and $500,000 short-term loan to Xylos were impaired as of December 31, 2004. The Company wrote its $1.0 million investment down to zero and established an allowance for credit losses against the $500,000 short-term loan. Xylos made loan payments totaling $150,000, $250,000, and $100,000 in 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively and the loan has been repaid in full. These payments were recorded as credits to bad debt expense in the periods in which they were received.
In May 2004, the Company entered into a loan agreement with TMX Interactive, Inc. (TMX), a provider of sales force effectiveness technology. Pursuant to the loan agreement, the Company provided TMX with a term loan facility of $500,000 and a convertible loan facility of $500,000, both of which were due on November 26, 2005. In 2005, due to TMX’s continued losses and uncertainty regarding its future prospects, the Company established an allowance for credit losses against the TMX loans. From 2005 to 2007, TMX provided services to the Company valued at $500,000 and the receipt of services in lieu of cash payment was recorded as a credit to bad debt expense and a reduction of the receivable in the respective periods. At December 31, 2008, the loan receivable has a balance of $500,000, which is fully reserved.
The Company offers an employee 401(k) saving plan. Under the PDI, Inc. 401(k) Plan, employees may contribute up to 25% of their pre-tax compensation.

Prior to January 1, 2004, the Company made cash contributions in an amount equal to 100% of the participant’s base salary contributed up to 2%. Participants are not allowed to invest any of their 401(k) funds in the Company’s common stock. The Company’s total contribution expense related to the Company’s 401(k) plans for the years ended December 31, 2009, 2008 2007 and 20062007 was approximately $0.6 million, $0.8 million, $0.7 million, and $1.3$0.7 million, respectively.
7.8. | Deferred Compensation Arrangements |
Beginning in 2000, the Company established a deferred compensation arrangement whereby a portion of certain employees’ salaries is withheld and placed in a rabbi trust. The plan permits the participants to diversify these assets through a variety of investment options. Members of the Company’s Board of Directors (Board) also have the opportunity to defer their compensation through this arrangement. The Company includes the net assets of the trust in its financial statements. The deferred compensation obligation has been classified as a current liability and the net assets in the trust are classified as available-for-sale securities and are included in short-term investments.

Due to the nature of the businesses in which the Company is engaged, such as product detailing and in the past, the distribution of products, it could be exposed to certain risks. Such risks include, among others, risk of liability for personal injury or death to persons using products the Company promotes or distributes. There can be no assurance that substantial claims or liabilities will not arise in the future due to the nature of the Company’s business activities and recent increases in litigation related to healthcare products, including pharmaceuticals. The Company seeks to reduce its potential liability under its service agreements through measures such as contractual indemnification provisions with clientscustomers (the scope of which may vary from clientcustomer to client,customer, and the performancesperformance of which areis not secured) and insurance.insuranc e. The Company could, however, also be held liable for errors and omissions of its employees in connection with the services it performs that are outside the scope of any indemnity or insurance policy. The Company could be materially adversely affected if it were required to pay damages or incur defense costs in connection with a claim that is outside the scope of an indemnification agreement; if the indemnity, although applicable, is not performed in accordance with its terms; or if the Company’s liability exceeds the amount of applicable insurance or indemnity.
Bayer-Baycol Litigation
The Company has beenwas named as a defendant in numerous lawsuits, including two class action matters, alleging claims arising from the use of Baycol, a prescription cholesterol-lowering medication. Baycol was distributed, promoted and sold by Bayer AG (Bayer) in the U.S. throughUnited States until early August 2001, at which time Bayer voluntarily withdrew Baycol from the U.S. market. Bayer had retained certain companies, such as the Company, to provide detailing services on its behalf pursuant to contract sales force agreements. The Company may be named in additional similar lawsuits. To date, the Company has defended these actions vigorously and has asserted a contractual right of defense and indemnification against Bayer for all costs and expenses that it incurs relating to these proceedings. In February 2003, the Company entered into a joint defense and indemnification agreement with Bayer, pursuant to which Bayer has agreed to assume substantially all of the Company’s defense costs in pending and prospective proceedings and to indemnify the Company in these lawsuits, subject to certain limited exceptions. Further, Bayer agreed to reimburse the Company for all reasonable costs and expenses incurred through such date in defending these proceedings. As of December 31, 2008, Bayer has reimbursed the Company for approximately $1.6 million in legal expenses, the majority of which was received in 2003 and was reflected as a credit within selling, general and administrative expense. The Company did not incur any costs or expenses relating to these matters during 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008 or 2008.2009. In July 2009 the final Baycol lawsuit in which the Company was named as a defendant was dismissed, and as of December 31, 2009, there were no pending Baycol-related claims against the Company.

10.11. | Product Commercialization ContractContract: |
On April 11, 2008, the Company announced the signing of a promotion agreement with Novartis Pharmaceuticals Corporation (Novartis). Pursuant to the agreement, the Company hashad the co-exclusive right to promote on behalf of Novartis the pharmaceutical product Elidel® (pimecrolimus) Cream 1% (the Product)(Product) to physicians in the United States. Under terms of the agreement, the Company is providing sales representatives to promote the Product to physicians. The Company must perform a minimum number of sales calls to designated physicians each year, and the failure to satisfy this requirement could result in penalties being imposed on the Company. In addition, the Company is obligated to spend at least $7.0 million per year during the term on promotional activities relating to the Product. Finally, as required under the agreement, the Company paid an up-front nonrefundable fee of $1.0 million. This fee was paid during the second quarter of 2008 and has been recognized as negative revenue pursuant to Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 01-09, "Accounting for Consideration Given by a Vendor to a Customer or a Reseller of the Vendor's Product."
In exchange for its promotional and sales force activities, the Company will be compensated each quarter based on a specified formula set forth in the agreement relating to Product sales for the quarter. Under the terms of the contract, any shortfall between actual sales and the pre-determined threshold from the previous quarter is added to the current quarter’s threshold amount that the Company must achieve in order to generate revenue. It is possible that the Company may not receive any compensation if Product sales are below certain thresholds set forth in the agreement.
The term of the agreement is approximately four years, extending through March 31, 2012, and it may be extended for an additional year upon the mutual consent of the parties. In addition, if the agreement is not terminated prior to its scheduled expiration on March 31, 2012, if due under the terms of the agreement, Novartis will provide the Company with two residual payments in accordance with specified formulas set forth in the agreement, which are payable 12 and 24 months after the expiration of the term of the agreement.

The agreement provides that if one or more major market events occur during the term that significantly affects the Product, in certain cases either party will have the right to terminate the agreement. Either party may terminate the agreement if the other party materially breaches or fails to perform its obligations under the agreement. In addition, either party may terminate the agreement, effective no earlier than February 2010, upon three months prior notice to the other party if the number of prescriptions for the Product generated in a specified period is less than a predetermined level for that period. Novartis may terminate the agreement, effective no earlier than February 1, 2010, without cause upon three months prior notice to the Company subject to the payment of an early termination fee based in part on a fixed amount and in part on a specified formula set forth in the agreement.
As of December 31, 2008, the Company made expenditures of approximately $12.3 million in connection with our sales force activities and promotion of the product. To date, the Company has not achieved the required sales levels necessary to receive revenue under its promotion agreement with Novartis. The Company does not anticipate that it will achieve the required sales levels necessary to generate sufficient revenue to recover the costs it incurred or will incur in connection with this promotional program during the term of the contract. The Company intends to terminate this contract at the early termination date for the contract, which is no sooner than February 1, 2010 provided that sales of the product remain below certain pre-determined thresholds.
At December 31, 2008, the Company accrued a contract loss of approximately $10.3 million, representing the anticipated future loss that the Company expected to be incurred by the Companyincur to fulfill its contractual obligations under this product commercialization agreement untilthrough February 2010, the earlyearliest termination date for this contract. The loss contract provision for this product commercialization agreement includesincluded the cost of the sales force needed to deliver the minimumcontracted number of sales callscalls.
On April 22, 2009, the Company and promotional program costs, includingNovartis mutually agreed to terminate this promotion agreement. In connection with the costtermination, the Company entered into an amendment to a currently existing fee for service sales force agreement (the Sales Force Agreement) with Novartis relating to another Novartis branded product, whereby the Company agreed to provide Novartis a credit of samples and other promotional costs net of anticipated revenue. In determining the amount of the loss contract provision, projections regarding estimated future cash flows are madeapproximately $5 million to estimate the expected loss. The use of alternative estimates and assumptions could increase or decrease the estimated loss and potentially result in a different impactbe applied to the Company’s results of operations. Further, changes in business strategy and/or market conditions may significantly impact these judgments. Actual results could materially differ from this estimate.
11. | Fair Value Measurements |
As discussed in Note 2,services provided by the Company adopted FAS 157under the Sales Force Agreement through the scheduled December 31, 2009 agreement expiration date. Under the amendment to the Sales Force Agreement, the Company also agreed to provide Novartis with an additional credit of approximately $250,000 to be applied against any services that the Company may perform for all financial assets and liabilities and for nonfinancial assets and liabilities recognized or disclosed at fair valueNovartis during 2010. The Company recog nized a benefit of approximately $2.5 million due to the reversal of excess contract loss accrual in the Company’s consolidated financial statements on a recurring basis (at least annually). Broadly, the FAS 157 framework requires fair value to be determined based on the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. FAS 157 establishes market or observable inputs as the preferred sourcesecond quarter of values, followed by assumptions based on hypothetical transactions in the absence of market inputs. The valuation techniques required by FAS 157 are based upon observable and unobservable inputs. Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect the Company’s market assumptions. These two types of inputs create the following three-tier fair value hierarchy: Level 1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets; Level 2, defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable; and Level 3, defined as unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore, requiring2009.
At December 31, 2009, the Company to develop its own assumptions.
The Company’s adoption of FAS 157 was limited to its investment in marketable securities. See Note 2, Investments in Marketable Securities, for additional information. The fair values for these securities are based on quoted market prices.

The Company's Board is authorized to issue, from time to time,time-to-time, up to 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock in one or more series. The Board is authorized to fix the rights and designation of each series, including dividend rights and rates, conversion rights, voting rights, redemption terms and prices, liquidation preferences and the number of shares of each series. As of December 31, 20082009 and 2007,2008, there were no issued and outstanding shares of preferred stock.
On January 1, 2006, the Company adopted FAS 123R. See Note 1, Nature of Business and Significant Accounting Policies, for a description of the adoption of FAS 123R. The Company’s stock-incentive program is a long termlong-term retention program that is intended to attract, retain and provide incentives for talented employees, officers and directors, and to align stockholder and employee interests. The Company considers its stock-incentive program critical to its operations and productivity. Currently, the Company grants options, SARs and restricted shares from the PDI, Inc. 2004 Stock Award and Incentive Plan (the 2004 Plan), which is described below.
The Company primarily uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model to determine the fair value of stock options and SARs. The determination of the fair value of stock-based payment awards on the date of grant using an option-pricing model is affected by the Company’s stock price as well as assumptions regarding a number of complex and subjective variables. These variables include the Company’s expected stock price volatility over the term of the awards, actual and projected employee stock option exercise behaviors, risk-free interest rate and expected dividends. Expected volatility wasis based on historical volatility. As there is no trading volume for the Company’s options, implied volatility wasis not representative of the Company’s current volatility so the historical volatility wasis determined to be more indicative of the Company’s expected future stock performance. The expected life wasis determined using the safe-harbor method permitted by Securities Exchange Commission’s Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 107 (SAB 107).method. The Company expects to use this simplified method for valuing employee SARs grants as permitted by the provisions of SAB 107 until more detailed information about exercise behavior becomes available over time. The Company bases the risk-free interest rate on U.S. Treasury zero-coupon issues with remaining terms similar to the expected term on the options or SARs. The Company does not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future and therefore uses an expected dividend yield of zero in the option valuation model. The Company is required to estimate forfeitures at the time of grant and revise those estimates in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. The Company uses historical data to estimate pre-vesting option forfeitures and records stock-based compensation expense only for those awards that are expected to vest. The CompanyC ompany recognizes compensation cost, net of estimated forfeitures, arising from the issuance of stock options and SARs on a straight-line basis over the vesting period of the grant.

Stock Incentive Plan
In June 2004, the Board and stockholders approved the 2004 Plan. The 2004 Plan replaced the 1998 Stock Option Plan (the 1998 Plan) and the 2000 Omnibus Incentive Compensation Plan (the 2000 Plan). The 2004 Plan reserved an additional 893,916 shares for new awards as well asand combined the remaining shares available under the 1998 Plan and 2000 Plan. The maximum number of shares that can be granted under the 2004 Plan is approximately 2.9 million shares. Eligible participants under the 2004 Plan include officers and other employees of the Company, members of the Board and outside consultants, as specified under the 2004 Plan and designated by the Compensation and Management Development Committee of the Board. Unless earlier terminated by action of the Board, the 2004 Plan will remain in effecteff ect until such time as no stock remains available for delivery under the 2004 Plan and the Company has no further rights or obligations under the 2004 Plan with respect to outstanding awards under the 2004 plan.thereunder. No participant may be granted more than the annual limit of 400,000 shares plus the amount of the participant'sparticipant’s unused annual limit relating to share-based awards as of the close of the previous year, subject to adjustment for splits and other extraordinary corporate events.
Historically, stock options were generally granted with an exercise price equal to the market value of the common stock on the date of grant, expired 10 years from the date they are granted, and generally vested over a two-year period for members of the Board of Directors and a three-year period for employees. Upon exercise, new shares are issued by the Company. The Company has not issued stock options since 2005. SARs are generally granted with a grant price equal to the market value of the common stock on the date of grant, vest one-third each year on the anniversary of the date of grant and expire five years from the date of grant. The restricted shares and restricted stock units generally have vesting periods that range from eighteen months to three years and are subject to accelerated vestingv esting and forfeiture under certain circumstances.
In November 2008, the Company’s chief executive officer was granted 140,000 restricted stock units and 280,000 performance contingent SARs. The restricted stock units will vest into shares of the Company’s common stock, equally in five equal installments, with the initial 20% of the units vesting immediately on the grant date and an additional 20% of the units vesting on each anniversary of the grant date over a four year period. The performance contingent SARs have an exercise price of $4.28, a seven year term to expiration, and a weighted averageweighted-average fair value of $0.86. The fair value estimate of the performance contingent SARs was calculated by an accredited independent valuation consultant using a Monte Carlo Simulation model. The performance contingent SARs are subject to the same vesting schedule as the restricted stock units but are only exercisable if the following stock performance-based conditions are satisfied: (1) with respect to the initial 94,000 performance contingent SARs, the closing price of the Company’s common stock is at least $10.00 per share for 60 consecutive trading days anytime within five years from the grant date; (2) with respect to the next 93,000 performance contingent SARs, the closing price of the Company’s common stock is at least $15.00 per share for 60 consecutive trading days anytime within five years from the grant date; and (3) with respect to the final 93,000 performance contingent SARs, the closing price of the Company’s common stock is at least $20.00 per share for 60 consecutive trading days anytime within five years from the grant date.
The weighted averageweighted-average fair value of non-performance based SARs granted during the years ended December 31, 2009, 2008 2007 and 20062007 was estimated to be $1.99, $2.54 and $3.97, and $6.31 respectively. For the year ended December 31, 2006 the aggregate intrinsic values of options and SARs exercised under the Company’s stock option plans was approximately $130,000 determined as of the date of exercise. There were no exercises in 2007of options or 2008.SARs during the years ended December 31, 2009, 2008 or 2007. Historically, shares issued upon the exercise of options have been new shares and have not come from treasury shares. As of December 31, 2008,2009, there was $2.0$1.7 million of total unrecognized compensation cost, net of estimated forfeitures, related to unvested SARs and restricted stock that are expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of approximately 2.52.2 years. Cash received from options exercised under the Company’s stock option plans for the years ended December 31, 2006 was $87,000. Historically, shares issued upon the exercise of options have been new shares and have not come from treasury shares.

Charges for facility lease obligations relate to real estate lease contracts where the Company has exited certain space and is required to make payments over the remaining lease term (January 2016 and November 2016 for the Saddle River, New Jersey facility and for the Dresher, Pennsylvania facility, respectively). All lease termination amounts are shown net of projected sublease income. The charges in 2008 pertained to a change in the estimated time it will take to sublet the remaining Dresher space. The charges in 2007 were primarily related to the exiting of the computer data center space at its Saddle River location as the Company is now outsourcing that capability.

The Company performs an analysis each year to determine whether the expected future income will more likely than not be sufficient to realize the deferred tax assets. The Company's recent operating results and projections of future income weighed heavily in the Company's overall assessment. As a result, the Company established a full federal and state valuation allowance for the net deferred tax assets at December 31, 20082009 and 20072008 because the Company determined that it was more likely than not that these assets would not be realized. In connection with the Worker, Homeownership, and Business Assistance Act (“Act”), passed in November 2009, the Company was able to carry back net operating losses incurred during the December 31, 2008 tax year to the 2003 and 2004 tax years. This carry back resulted in a benefit of approximately $3.3 million related to 2008 net operating losses for which a valuation allowance had been previously established. At December 31, 20082009 and 2007,2008, the Company had a valuation allowance of approximately $25.6$34.2 million and $11.7$25.6 million, respectively, related to the Company's net deferred tax assets.
