Report of Independent Auditor
The Board of Directors of
Business Process Outsourcing, Inc.
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Business Process Outsourcing, Inc. and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2010. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the 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. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and 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 Business Process Outsourcing, Inc. and subsidiaries as at December 31, 2010 and 2009, and the consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2010, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Business Process Outsourcing, Inc.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2010
(Dollars in thousands, except per share amounts)
1. Organization, Description of Business
Business Process Outsourcing, Inc. (“BPO” or “the Company”) is incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands. BPO’s subsidiaries are Business Process Outsourcing Ltd., a Mauritius corporation, Business Process Outsourcing (India) Private Limited (“BPO India”), an Indian corporation, Outsource Partners International Limited, a United Kingdom corporation, BPO Enterprises, Inc., a Delaware corporation (an inactive entity), National Tax Compliance Services LLC, a Delaware corporation (an inactive entity), Outsource Partners International EAD, a Bulgaria corporation, Outsource Partners International, Inc., a Delaware corporation, Outsource Partners International Corporation, a Nova Scotia corporation (an inactive entity), Outsourcepartners International (India) Private Limited, an India corporation; Outsource Partners International SDN BHD, a Malaysian corporation; and Outsource Partners International, Inc., a Cayman Island corporation (an inactive entity).
BPO, together with its subsidiaries, is principally engaged in providing business process outsourcing services in the finance and accounting arena. The services are provided primarily from India, along with shared service centers in Bulgaria and Malaysia, as well as resources on-site at client locations in the U.S. The Company’s clients are located principally in the United States.
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of BPO and its subsidiaries. All significant inter-company balances and transactions are eliminated in consolidation.
Use of Estimates
Preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Estimates are made based on management’s best assessment of the current business environment. Actual results could differ from these estimates and assumptions. The significant estimates and assumptions that affect the consolidated financial statements include, but are not limited to, allowance for doubtful accounts, future obligations under employee benefit plans, income tax valuation allowances, estimated useful lives of property and equipment and recoverability of long-term assets and goodwill.

Foreign Currency
The functional currency being the currency of the primary economic environment in which each active subsidiary operates is listed below:
BPO – U. S. Dollar
Business Process Outsourcing Ltd. – U. S. Dollar
Business Process Outsourcing (India) Private Limited – Indian Rupee
Outsource Partners International Limited – Pound Sterling
Outsource Partners International EAD – Bulgarian Leva
Outsource Partners International, Inc. – U. S. Dollar
Outsourcepartners International (India) Private Limited – Indian Rupee
Outsource Partners International SDN BHD – Malaysian Ringgit
For subsidiaries that have a functional currency other than the U.S. Dollar, the assets and liabilities of such subsidiaries are translated into U.S. Dollars, the reporting currency, at the rate of exchange prevailing on the balance sheet date. Resulting translation adjustments are included in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss).
During 2008, the Company changed the method used for translating revenues and expenses into U.S Dollars from average exchange rate prevailing during the period to average exchange rates prevailing during the month in which transactions were recorded. This change enabled foreign currency transactions to be translated at exchange rates which were closer to the date when such transactions were recorded. Due to this change, profit for the year ended December 31, 2008 was higher by $209 and cumulative comprehensive loss was lower by $209 as at December 31, 2008. Foreign currency transaction gains and losses are recorded in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Revenue Recognition
The Company derives revenues primarily from performing business process outsourcing services. Outsourcing contracts typically span several years and may involve delivery through a combination of resources in different countries. Revenue is recognized as services are rendered, provided that persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, there are no remaining obligations with respect to the services rendered and collection is considered probable. The Company has time and material, cost plus, and unit pricing arrangements. Revenue on unit priced arrangements is recognized as transactions are processed. Revenues on time and material contracts are recognized based on time incurred in performing the services and on cost plus arrangements are recognized as the services are performed.
Revenues recognized in excess of billings are recorded as unbilled receivables. Billings in excess of revenues recognized are deferred until revenue recognition criteria are met.

Foreign Exchange Instruments
In the normal course of business, the Company occasionally uses derivative financial instruments to manage foreign currency exchange rate risk. The Company hedges material cash flow exposure using forward contracts. These instruments are short-term in nature, with maturities of less than one year, and are subject to fluctuations in foreign exchange rates. All of the Company’s financial instruments are recorded at estimated fair value or amounts that approximate fair value. The Company does not have any derivatives designated as hedges as defined by ASC No. 815, “Derivatives and Hedging”. The changes in fair value of all derivatives are recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and are included in the foreign exchange (loss) gain. During 2010, 2009 and 2008, $(32), $116 and $0, respectively, were recognized as (losses) gains related to these derivatives. There were $1,250 and $4,625 of derivative instruments outstanding as of December 31, 2010 and 2009.
Fair Value Measurements
ASC No. 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” (“ASC No. 820”), establishes a three-tier value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in the valuation methodologies in measuring fair value:
| | | | |
Level 1 | | - | | Observable inputs that reflect quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets. |
| | |
Level 2 | | - | | Includes other inputs that are directly or indirectly observable in the marketplace. |
| | |
Level 3 | | - | | Unobservable inputs which are supported by little or no market activity. |
The fair value hierarchy also requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. In accordance with ASC No. 820, the Company measures foreign currency forward contracts at fair value. The foreign currency forward contracts are classified within Level 2 as the valuation inputs are based on quoted prices and market observable data of similar instruments in active markets, and are recorded in other current assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. As at December 31, 2010 and 2009 the amount recorded in other current assets was $82 and $112, respectively

Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation and amortization. Property and equipment under capital leases are stated at the present value of the minimum lease payments at the inception of the lease, net of accumulated amortization.
Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of assets. Depreciation and amortization on equipment held under capital leases and leasehold improvements is computed using the straight-line method over the shorter of the assets’ estimated lives or the lease term. The estimated useful lives of property and equipment are as follows:
| | |
Furniture and fixtures | | 5 to 7 years |
Leasehold improvements | | 3 to 8 years |
Computer hardware | | 3 to 5 years |
Computer software | | 3 to 5 years |
Office equipment and machinery | | 3 to 5 years |
Intangible Assets
Intangible assets primarily consist of amounts allocated to customer contracts arising from the acquisition of the business process outsourcing division of a large public accounting firm in 2002. These amounts are being amortized on a straight-line basis over approximately five years. Amortization of such customer contract intangible assets for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008 amounted to $0, $0 and $188, respectively. Management evaluates the realizability of contract rights (if there are indicators of impairment) based upon the Company’s forecasted undiscounted cash flows. No impairment occurred during the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
Long-lived assets with definite lives, including property and equipment and intangible assets are reviewed for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable. Recoverability of long-lived assets with definite lives is assessed based on a comparison of the carrying amount to the estimated future undiscounted net cash flows. If estimated future undiscounted net cash flows are less than the carrying amounts, the related assets are considered impaired and expense is recorded to reduce the carrying amounts to fair value. The fair value is determined based on the valuation techniques such as comparison to fair value of similar assets or using a discounted cash flow analysis. No impairment occurred during the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008.

Deferred Charges
In connection with certain of the Company’s outsourcing arrangements, the Company may incur specific, direct and incremental external costs to acquire a contractual relationship. Such costs primarily consist of legal costs to negotiate contract terms. The Company defers these client acquisition costs if the recovery of such costs is probable and amortizes them ratably over the period of the contract.
During 2010, 2009 and 2008, the Company capitalized $0, $0 and $30 of client acquisition costs. The related amortization for the years was $20, $40 and $64, respectively.
Stock-based Compensation
Effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted ASC No. 718, “Compensation – Stock Compensation” (“ASC No. 718”). Under the fair value recognition provisions of this statement, stock-based compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on the fair value of the award and is recognized as expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period, which is the vesting period. The Company adopted the provisions of ASC No. 718 using the prospective transition method, which requires that the estimated fair value of share based awards granted under stock incentive plans is recognized as compensation expense for all share based payments (i) granted after the effective date of adoption and (ii) granted prior to the effective date of adoption that are modified, repurchased or cancelled. See note 10 for a detailed discussion of stock-based compensation and adoption of ASC No. 718.
There were no options granted during 2010. The fair value of each option was estimated on the date of grant using the Black Scholes option pricing model during 2009 with the following assumptions:
| | | | |
| | Year ended December 31, 2009 | |
Dividend yield | | | 0 | % |
Expected life (in months) | | | 45 | |
Risk free interest rate | | | 4.63 | % |
Volatility | | | 35 | % |
In accordance with ASC No. 718-10, the Company estimated the expected term of options granted by using the simplified method of computing the expected life of the option. In absence of history of volatility of BPO stock trading, the Company has used the volatility of stocks of comparable companies with estimated lives of options similar to BPO. The risk-free interest rate is based on the yield on the 5-year U.S. Treasury securities issued in 2010 and 2009. The Company does not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future and therefore the expected dividend yield of zero is considered in the option valuation model. All stock-based payment awards are amortized ratably over the vesting periods of the awards.

Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes based upon the provisions of ASC No. 740, “Income Taxes” (“ASC No. 740”). Under ASC No. 740, deferred tax liabilities and assets are recognized for future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their tax bases. Any deferred tax assets recognized for net operating loss carry forwards and other items are reduced by a valuation allowance when it is more likely than not that the benefits may not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in the period that the rate change occurs.
The Company’s investments in its foreign subsidiaries are considered to be permanently invested, and accordingly no provision for income taxes on the related foreign exchange translation adjustments has been recorded.
Effective January 1, 2009, the Company adopted the provisions of the ASC No. 740, which clarified the accounting for income taxes by prescribing the minimum recognition threshold a tax position is required to meet before being recognized in the financial statements. The provisions of ASC No. 740 are applied to all tax positions upon initial adoption, with cumulative effect adjustment reported as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings. It also provides guidance on de-recognition, measurement, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. Interest and penalties recognized in accordance with the guidance provided in ASC No. 740, if any, are being classified as interest expense and general and administrative expense, respectively. The Company did not have any unrecognized tax benefits as a result of the adoption of ASC No. 740. Moreover, during the period, the Company neither had any unrecognized tax benefits nor recognized any uncertain tax benefits. The Company did not recognize any interest or penalties in the Company’s Consolidated Statement of Operations nor did it have any such amounts recognized on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets. In addition, the Company did not have any uncertain tax positions that were expected to significantly change within 12 months of the reporting date.
The Company applies a two-step approach for recognizing and measuring uncertain tax positions. The first step is to evaluate the tax position for recognition by determining, based on the technical merits, that the position will be more likely than not sustained upon examination. The second step is to measure the tax benefit as the largest amount of the tax benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized upon settlement.

Goodwill
Goodwill represents the excess of the cost of business acquisitions over the fair value of the acquired net tangibles and intangibles assets. Under ASC No. 350, “Intangibles – Goodwill and Other”, the Company does not amortize goodwill, but is required to test goodwill impairment at least on an annual basis or earlier when events or changes in circumstances suggest the carrying amount may not be fully recoverable.
As of December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively, the Company performed annual goodwill impairment tests by comparing the book value to the estimated fair value of the reporting unit. The fair value of the reporting unit was determined using a discounted cash flow approach. The valuation of the estimated fair value on a discounted cash flow approach required significant estimates and assumptions. There was no impairment to the carrying value of goodwill at December 31, 2010, 2009 or 2008.
Employee Benefits
In accordance with Indian law, all employees of the subsidiary in India are entitled to receive benefits under the Government Provident Fund, a defined contribution plan in which both the employee and the Company contribute monthly at a determined rate (currently 12% of the employee’s base salary). These contributions are made to the Government Provident Fund.
In accordance with Indian law, the Company provides for gratuity, a defined benefit retirement plan (the “Gratuity Plan”) covering all of its employees in India. The Gratuity Plan provides for a lump sum payment to vested employees on retirement or upon termination of employment in an amount based on the respective employee’s salary and years of employment with the Company. Gratuity benefit cost for the year is calculated on an actuarial basis.
Contributions to defined contribution plans are charged to consolidated operating results in the period in which services are rendered by the covered employees. Current service costs for defined benefit plans are accrued in the period to which they relate. In accordance with ASC No. 715, “Compensation Retirement Benefit”, the liability in respect of defined benefit plans is calculated annually by the Company using the projected unit credit method. Prior service cost, if any, resulting from an amendment to a plan is recognized and amortized over the remaining period of service of the covered employees. The Company recognizes its liabilities for compensated absences in accordance with ASC No. 710, “Compensation-General”.
Financial Instruments
For certain financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued liabilities and other current assets, recorded amounts approximate fair value due to the relatively short maturity periods.

Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents and client receivables. Cash equivalents have been deposited with highly rated reputable financial institutions. Client receivables are dispersed across many different industries, however the customers are based primarily in the United States. To reduce exposure to client credit risk, the Company often bills its clients in advance. At December 31, 2010 and 2009, two customers accounted for 29% and 26% respectively, of the Company’s accounts receivable.
Advertising
Advertising costs of $19, $17 and $31 were expensed as incurred for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In October 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Update No. 2009-13, “Multiple-Deliverable Revenue Arrangements - a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force” (ASU 2009-13). It updates the existing multiple-element revenue arrangements guidance currently included under ASC No. 605-25, which originated primarily from the guidance in EITF Issue No. 00-21, “Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables” (EITF 00-21). The revised guidance primarily provides two significant changes: 1) 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 2) eliminates the residual method to allocate the arrangement consideration. In addition, the guidance also expands the disclosure requirements for revenue recognition. ASU 2009-13 will be effective for the first annual reporting period beginning on or after June 15, 2010, with early adoption permitted provided that the revised guidance is retroactively applied to the beginning of the year of adoption. The Company does not expect to have a material impact on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows on adoption of this guidance.
In December 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-28, the amendments in this update modify Step 1 of the goodwill impairment test for reporting units with zero or negative carrying amounts. For those reporting units, an entity is required to perform Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test if it is more likely than not that a goodwill impairment exists. In determining whether it is more likely than not that a goodwill impairment exists, an entity should consider whether there are any adverse qualitative factors indicating that an impairment may exist. The qualitative factors are consistent with the existing guidance and examples in paragraph 350-20-35-30, which requires that goodwill of a reporting unit be tested for impairment between annual tests if an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying amount. ASU 2010-28 will be effective for public entities from fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010 and will be effective for nonpublic entities, for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011. Nonpublic entities may early adopt the amendments using the effective date for public entities. The Company does not expect to have a material impact on its consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows on adoption of this guidance.

3. Restricted Cash
Restricted cash includes certificates of deposit and balances with banks of $124 and $165 at December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively, which serve as collateral for outstanding letters of credit and bank guarantees issued by the Company for equipment imports, obtaining forward contracts, tax demands and assets held under capital leases. These guarantees expire at various dates between 2011 and 2014.
4. Business Combination and Goodwill
In 2002, the Company acquired the business process outsourcing practice of a large public accounting firm. In connection with the acquisition, the Company recorded goodwill for the amount of purchase price paid in excess of the value of the underlying assets. In addition, the Company capitalized as goodwill additional payments made as part of the contingent consideration subsequent to the acquisition date. Contingent consideration payments ceased on February 1, 2007.
5. Commitments and Contingencies
Transfer-pricing regulations require that any international transaction involving associated enterprises be at an arm’s-length price. Transactions among the Company’s subsidiaries and the Company may be considered such transactions. Accordingly, the Company determines the pricing among its associated enterprises on the basis of detailed functional and economic analysis involving benchmarking against transactions among entities that are not under common control. If the applicable income tax authorities review any of the Company’s tax returns and determine that the transfer price applied was not appropriate, the Company may incur increased tax liability, including accrued interest and penalties.
A subsidiary of the Company received an assessment order from the Indian tax authorities with respect to their transfer pricing arrangements. The assessment demands that the subsidiary pay additional taxes in the amount of approximately $217. The subsidiary has applied for a stay of demand with tax authorities while it appeals to the Deputy Commissioner of Income Tax. While under appeal, the Company is required to pay the assessed amount, this amount was deposited with the tax authorities.
Based on advice from its Indian tax advisors, the facts underlying its position and its experience with these types of assessments, the Company believes that the probability of loss is remote and has accordingly not accrued any amount with respect to these matters in its consolidated financial statements. There is a possibility that the Company might receive similar orders for subsequent years until the dispute is resolved. The Company does not expect any impact from these assessments on its future income tax expense.

Lease rentals are apportioned between principal and interest at the rate implicit to the lease. The principal amount received reduces the net investment in lease, which is recorded in other assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheets and the interest is recognized as other income. Initial direct costs such as legal and brokerage costs, are recognized immediately in the statements of operations.

Under the Indian Income Tax Act, a substantial portion of the profits of the Company's Indian operations is exempt from Indian income tax. The Indian tax year ends on March 31. This holiday is available for a period of ten consecutive years beginning in the year in which the respective Indian undertaking commenced operations but in no case extending beyond March 31, 2011, as extended by the Indian Government on August 19, 2009.
During 2007, the Company commenced operations in a new subsidiary in India. Profit of the subsidiary is tax exempt because its profit is attributable to undertakings situated in Special Economic Zones. This exemption is available for a period of 15 consecutive years, wherein the profits would be taxed at graduated higher rates after completion of initial 5 years under the tax scheme and upon fulfillment of the conditions specified in the law governing the exemption.
The Company has foreign net operating loss carry forwards of $827 to offset future foreign taxable income, and can be carried forward for a period of 8 years. U.S. Federal net operating loss carry forwards of $27,211 may be used to offset future taxable income and will begin to expire in 2022. Pursuant to changes in the Indian Income Tax Act from April 1, 2007, the Company has calculated its tax liability after considering the Minimum Alternate Tax (“MAT”). The MAT can be carried forward and set off against future tax liabilities and will begin to expire in 2013. Based on the business projections made by the management, the Company expects to set off the MAT with it future tax liabilities.

The net change in the total valuation allowance for each of the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009 was a decrease of $383 and of $535, respectively. In assessing the realization of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets depends on the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences are deductible. Management considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected taxable income, and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. In order to fully realize the deferred tax asset, the Company will need to generate future taxable income prior to the expiration of the deferred tax asset governed by the tax code. Management believes that under the current circumstances, it is more likely than not that the Company will not realize the benefits of these deductible differences, net of the existing valuation allowance at December 31, 2010.
The provision for income taxes differs from the amount of income tax determined by applying the applicable U.S. statutory federal income tax rate to income before taxes, primarily as a result of geographical distribution of its income.

9. Retirement and Other Employee Benefit Plans
Defined Benefit Plan
In India, the Company maintains and administers a non-contributory defined benefit retirement and termination of employment plan (Gratuity Plan) as required by local regulations. The plan provides for a lump sum payment to vested employees at the time of retirement or termination. Benefits under this plan are based on years of service and compensation of the employee.
The Company uses a December 31 measurement date for the Gratuity Plan. The components of the Gratuity Plan cost were as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Year ended December 31, | |
| | 2010 | | | 2009 | | | 2008 | |
Service cost | | $ | 134 | | | $ | 141 | | | $ | 212 | |
Interest cost | | | 57 | | | | 44 | | | | 49 | |

The weighted-average assumptions used to determine the Gratuity Plan cost and obligations are as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Year ended December 31, | |
| | 2010 | | | 2009 | | | 2008 | |
Discount rate | | | 8.0 | % | | | 8.0 | % | | | 8.0 | % |
Rate of increase in future compensation | | | 7.5 | % | | | 7.5 | % | | | 7.5 | % |
The Company uses the discount rate to compute future benefit obligations from an analysis of expected future benefit payments. The reasonableness of its discount rate is determined by comparing its rate to the rate derived from mortality information provided by the Life Insurance Corporation of India. The increase in future compensation is based on historical information and management’s future expectation.
The changes in the benefit obligation, plan assets and the funded status of the Gratuity Plan are as follows:
| | | | | | | | |
| | Year ended December 31, | |
| | 2010 | | | 2009 | |

Defined Contribution Plan
The Company has established the OPI 401(k) Retirement Plan, a qualified defined contribution retirement plan. In 2010, the plan allowed eligible employees to contribute between 1% and the maximum tax deductible limit of their eligible compensation. The Company provides matching contributions up to a certain percentage of the employee’s eligible compensation. Contribution to the plan was $246, $254 and $319 for 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively.
The Company contributes to the Government Provident Fund (a defined contribution plan) on behalf of its employees in India, in accordance with Indian law. The assets held by the Government Provident Fund are not reported on the Company’s balance sheet. The contributions made to the fund were $844, $630 and $561 during 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively.
10. Stock-based Compensation
On November 12, 2003, the Company instituted the 2003 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”). Eligible persons include employees of the Company and certain other persons. The Company reserved 2,000,000 shares of common stock for the granting of options. Under the Plan, the Board may grant awards of nonqualified stock options (“NSOs”), incentive stock options (“ISOs”) and stock appreciation rights (“SARs”), or any combination of the foregoing. The Board determines which employees are eligible to receive options, the number of options to be granted, the exercise price, the vesting period and the contractual period. Options are non-transferable during their life and the vesting period is determined on the date of the grant. Options generally vest ratably over a period of four years from the date of grant, with 25% vesting each year, and the contractual term is five years. If an employee terminates they must exercise any vested options within 90 days after termination or the vested options are forfeited.
Compensation expense during the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, amounting to $292, $381 and $341, respectively, was included in general and administrative expenses.

11. Stockholders’ Equity
Warrants
In connection with prior financing arrangements, certain investors held 733,945 warrants which were exercisable for shares of BPO’s, common stock at $1.09 per share under the terms of their original issuance. Each warrant represented the right to purchase one share of the Company’s common stock. These warrants were exercised on August 31, 2008. The Company issued 685,909 shares on net exercise of the warrants.
Series A Convertible Preferred Stock
The holder of each share of the Series A Convertible Preferred stock (“Series A Preferred”) is entitled to the number of votes equal to the number of shares of common stock into which each share of the Series A Preferred could be converted at that date. The Series A Preferred holders are entitled to dividends of $0.065 annually per share only if and when declared by the Board of Directors from accumulated earnings. Series A Preferred stock is junior to Series B Preferred stock.
Each share of Series A Preferred is convertible into one ordinary share, which is subject to anti-dilution adjustment. The adjustment represents a contingent beneficial conversion feature. If the Company were to recognize a charge, it would be computed based on the additional equity shares to be issued as a result of the anti-dilution adjustment multiplied by the value of the common stock at the time the preferred shares were issued.
All Series A Preferred shares automatically convert upon a qualified public offering or the sale of the business, as defined. Upon a liquidation or dissolution event and after payment to the holders of the Series B preferred stock, holders of the Series A Preferred stock are entitled to receive the greater of (i) 100 percent of the original issue price or the value the Series A Preferred stock on an as-converted basis (ii) plus all declared but unpaid dividends. These funds would be distributed before any distribution to the holders of common stock.

Series B Convertible Preferred Stock
Series B Convertible Preferred stock (“Series B Preferred”) holders have the right to convert their shares at any time, into shares of common stock.

Series B Preferred is senior to Series A Preferred and common stock. The holders of the Series B Preferred are entitled to $0.15 annual dividends per share only if and when declared by the Board of Directors from accumulated earnings. In the event of any liquidation or winding up of the business, the holders of the Series B Preferred are entitled to receive, in preference to the holders of junior securities, an amount equal to (i) the greater of 100% of the original issue price per share of Series B Preferred or the amount per share the holders of Series B Preferred would receive if all Preferred shares were converted to common stock, plus (ii) all declared but unpaid dividends. All Series B Preferred Shares automatically convert upon a qualified public offering, as defined.

1. Organization, Description of Business
Business Process Outsourcing, Inc. (“BPO” or the “Company”) is incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands. BPO, together with its subsidiaries, is principally engaged in providing business process outsourcing services in the finance and accounting arena. The services are provided primarily from India, along with shared service centers in Bulgaria and Malaysia, as well as resources on-site at client locations in the U.S. The Company’s clients are located principally in the United States.
Basis of Presentation
The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for annual financial statements and therefore should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and footnotes for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010.
The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments (of a normal and recurring nature) which management considers necessary for a fair presentation of such statements for the interim periods presented. The unaudited consolidated statements of income for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year or for any subsequent period.
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of BPO and its subsidiaries. All significant inter-company balances and transactions are eliminated in consolidation.
Use of Estimates
Preparation of the unaudited consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the unaudited consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Estimates are made based on management’s best assessment of the current business environment. Actual results could differ from these estimates and assumptions. The significant estimates and assumptions that affect the consolidated financial statements include, but are not limited to, allowance for doubtful accounts, future obligations under employee benefit plans, income tax valuation allowances, estimated useful lives of property and equipment and recoverability of long-term assets and goodwill.
Foreign Exchange Instruments
In the normal course of business, the Company occasionally uses derivative financial instruments to manage foreign currency exchange rate risk. The Company hedges material cash flow exposure using forward contracts. These instruments are short-term in nature, with maturities of less than one year, and are subject to fluctuations in foreign exchange rates. All of the Company’s financial instruments are recorded at estimated fair value or amounts that approximate fair value. The Company does not have any derivatives designated as hedges as defined by ASC No. 815, “Derivatives and Hedging.” The changes in fair value of all derivatives are recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and are included in the foreign exchange (loss) gain. During the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, ($81) and $81, respectively, were recognized as (losses) gains related to these derivatives. There were $0 and $1,250 of derivative instruments outstanding as of March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively.
Fair Value Measurements
ASC No. 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” (“ASC No. 820”), establishes a three-tier value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in the valuation methodologies in measuring fair value:
| | | | |
Level 1 | | - | | Observable inputs that reflect quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets. |
| | |
Level 2 | | - | | Includes other inputs that are directly or indirectly observable in the marketplace. |
| | |
Level 3 | | - | | Unobservable inputs which are supported by little or no market activity. |
The fair value hierarchy also requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. In accordance with ASC No. 820, the Company measures foreign currency forward contracts at fair value. The foreign currency forward contracts are classified within Level 2 as the valuation inputs are based on quoted prices and market observable data of similar instruments in active markets, and are recorded in other current assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. As at March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010 the amount recorded in other current assets was $0 and $82, respectively.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In October 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Update No. 2009-13, “Multiple-Deliverable Revenue Arrangements - a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force” (“ASU 2009-13”). It updates the existing multiple-element revenue arrangements guidance currently included under ASC No. 605-25, which originated primarily from the guidance in EITF Issue No. 00-21, “Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables”. The revised guidance primarily provides two significant changes: 1) 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 2) eliminates the residual method to allocate the arrangement consideration. In addition, the guidance also expands the disclosure requirements for revenue recognition. ASU 2009-13 will be effective for the first annual reporting period beginning on or after June 15, 2010, with early adoption permitted provided that the revised guidance is retroactively applied to the beginning of the year of adoption. The adoption of new guidance from January 1, 2011 did not have any impact on the Company’s unaudited consolidated financial statements as the number of multiple deliverable revenue arrangements is insignificant.
3. Business Combination and Goodwill
In 2002, the Company acquired the business process outsourcing practice of a large public accounting firm. In connection with the acquisition, the Company recorded goodwill for the amount of purchase price paid in excess of the value of the underlying assets. In addition, the Company capitalized as goodwill additional payments made as part of the contingent consideration subsequent to the acquisition date. Contingent consideration payments ceased on February 1, 2007.
4. Commitments and Contingencies
Transfer-pricing regulations require that any international transaction involving associated enterprises be at an arm’s-length price. Transactions among the Company’s subsidiaries and the Company may be considered such transactions. Accordingly, the Company determines the pricing among its associated enterprises on the basis of detailed functional and economic analysis involving benchmarking against transactions among entities that are not under common control. If the applicable income tax authorities review any of the Company’s tax returns and determine that the transfer price applied was not appropriate, the Company may incur increased tax liability, including accrued interest and penalties.
A subsidiary of the Company received an assessment order from the Indian tax authorities with respect to their transfer pricing arrangements. The assessment demands that the subsidiary pay additional taxes in the amount of approximately $217. The subsidiary has applied for a stay of demand with tax authorities while it appeals to the Deputy Commissioner of Income Tax. While under appeal, the Company is required to pay the assessed amount, this amount was deposited with the tax authorities.

Based on advice from its Indian tax advisors, the facts underlying its position and its experience with these types of assessments, the Company believes that the probability of loss is remote and has accordingly not accrued any amount with respect to these matters in its consolidated financial statements. There is a possibility that the Company might receive similar orders for subsequent years until the dispute is resolved. The Company does not expect any impact from these assessments on its future income tax expense.
5. Debt and Lease Commitments
The Company finances its use of certain facilities, computer hardware, leasehold improvements, furniture, fixtures, and office equipment under various lease arrangements provided by financial institutions. The future minimum lease payments, by year and in the aggregate, under capital leases and under non-cancelable operating leases with initial or remaining non-cancelable lease terms in excess of one year, consisted of the following at March 31, 2011:

Rental expense under operating leases was approximately $1,692 and $1,731 for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Sublease income of $265 and $327 for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively, is included in other income.
The Company has sub-leased property and equipment under capital leases and recognized as a receivable an amount equal to the net investment in the sub-lease. Lease rentals are apportioned between principal and interest at the rate implicit to the lease. The principal amount received reduces the net investment in lease, which is recorded in other assets in the unaudited consolidated balance sheets and the interest is recognized as other income. Initial direct costs such as legal and brokerage costs, are recognized immediately in the statements of operations. As of March 31, 2011, the Company has outstanding receivables of $151.

6. Income Taxes
The Company recorded income tax expense of $138 and $70 for the three months ended March 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.
Under the Indian Income Tax Act, a substantial portion of the profits of the Company's Indian operations is exempt from Indian income tax. The Indian tax year ends on March 31. This holiday is available for a period of ten consecutive years beginning in the year in which the respective Indian undertaking commenced operations but in no case extending beyond March 31, 2011, as extended by the Indian Government on August 19, 2009.
During 2007, the Company commenced operations in a new subsidiary in India. Profit of the subsidiary is tax exempt because its profit is attributable to undertakings situated in Special Economic Zones. This exemption is available for a period of 15 consecutive years, wherein the profits would be taxed at graduated higher rates after completion of initial 5 years under the tax scheme and upon fulfillment of the conditions specified in the law governing the exemption.
The Company has foreign net operating loss carry forwards of $827 to offset future foreign taxable income, and can be carried forward for a period of 8 years. U.S. Federal net operating loss carry forwards of $27,211 may be used to offset future taxable income and will begin to expire in 2022. Pursuant to changes in the Indian Income Tax Act from April 1, 2007, the Company has calculated its tax liability after considering the Minimum Alternate Tax (“MAT”). The MAT can be carried forward and set off against future tax liabilities and will begin to expire in 2013. Based on the business projections made by the management, the Company expects to set off the MAT with it future tax liabilities.
In assessing the realization of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets depends on the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences are deductible. Management considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected taxable income, and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. In order to fully realize the deferred tax asset, the Company will need to generate future taxable income prior to the expiration of the deferred tax asset governed by the tax code. Management believes that under the current circumstances, it is more likely than not that the Company will not realize the benefits of these deductible differences, net of the existing valuation allowance at March 31, 2011.
