References to we, us, our, Vsource or the Company refers to Vsource, Inc. and its subsidiaries. We maintain our executive offices at 7855 Ivanhoe Avenue, Suite 200, La Jolla, California 92037. Our telephone number is (858) 551-2920 and our website is at www.vsource.com.
COMPANY BACKGROUND
From 2001 to 2004, we provided Fortune 500 and Global 500 companies with customizable and comprehensive business process outsourcing solutions into and across the Asia-Pacific region. Business process outsourcing (BPO) is the outsourcing by a company of certain business and operational functions by hiring third-party vendors (such as Vsource previously provided) to perform those functions on their behalf.
On December 11, 2003, December 30, 2003 and March 22, 2004, we entered into sales and purchase agreements with Symphony House Berhad (Symphony House) and other investors to sell them 38.8% of the issued and outstanding share capital of Vsource Asia Berhad, formerly known as Vsource (Malaysia) Sdn Bhd, (Vsource Asia), our formerly wholly-owned Malaysian subsidiary, for total consideration of approximately $9.5 million. As part of the transaction, we transferred all of the shares and share capital of our wholly owned subsidiaries in Japan and Taiwan to Vsource Asia, and all intercompany amounts outstanding as of November 30, 2003 between these three companies and Vsource and our other subsidiaries were waived or forgiven. The sale was completed on March 23, 2004. As a result, we owned 61.2% of Vsource Asia, and Symphony House and the other investors held 30.3% and 8.5% respectively, upon the conclusion of these transactions.
Concurrent with the sale of 38.8% of the outstanding shares of Vsource Asia to Symphony House and other investors, we continued to evaluate alternatives to improve our capital structure. Management believed that the different classes of our preferred stock limited our ability to raise new capital to (i) finance growth and (ii) strengthen our balance sheet sufficiently to address issues frequently raised by clients and potential clients regarding our financial strength. In addition, the complexity of the capital structure made it very difficult for potential investors to understand our capital structure, and also restricted the ability of shareholders seeking liquidity to execute the sale of securities in the Company, should they wish to do so. Moreover, if we did not meet one or more of certain conditions set forth in the Certificate of Designation regarding our Series 4-A Preferred Stock by March 31, 2006, then each holder of our Series 4-A Preferred Stock would have had the right, at any time after March 31, 2006 and on or before September 30, 2006, to require us to purchase all but not less than all of the Series 4-A Preferred Stock held by such holder at a price of $3,000 per share. Based on the number of Series 4-A Preferred Stock outstanding as of November 1, 2004, $52.1 million would be required to purchase all of the Series 4-A Preferred Stock. Additionally, in the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, either voluntarily or involuntarily, holders of our Series 1-A, Series 2-A and Series 4-A Preferred Stock (the Preferred Stock) are entitled to receive, prior to any distribution to holders of our common stock, a preference amount. As of November 1, 2004, holders of our Preferred Stock had an aggregate preference amount of $39.2 million and since our current net asset value at that time was less than $39.2 million, in the event we were to be liquidated or dissolved at that point, all our of assets and surplus funds would be distributed to the holders of our Preferred Stock only, and accordingly, there would have been no assets or surplus funds available to the holders of our common stock.
3
For the reasons noted in the paragraph above and others described in the Companys Schedule TO noted below, at the time of sale of 38.8% of Vsource Asia, several of our large shareholders requested that we evaluate alternatives to improve the prospects for liquidity of the Companys securities. In response to these considerations, our Board of Directors established a Special Committee to review a series of transactions that ultimately led to the Exchange Offer (defined below) and related transactions that we completed on November 22, 2004 described in the paragraphs immediately below. Complete details on the Exchange Offer, including reasons for approval by our Board of Directors and Special Committee, can be found in the Companys Exchange Offer and Consent Solicitation Circular, which was filed as an exhibit to the Companys Schedule TO, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on October 18, 2004, which information is incorporated herein by reference.
On November 22¸ 2004, we contributed our remaining 61.2% ownership interest in Vsource Asia to a new wholly owned subsidiary of the Company incorporated in the British Virgin Islands (Asia Holding Co.). Immediately thereafter, we completed an exchange offer pursuant to which the holders of Preferred Stock could exchange their Preferred Stock for common shares of Asia Holding Co. at certain exchange ratios (the Exchange Offer). Effective upon the completion of the Exchange Offer on November 22, 2004, 92.8% of the Series 1-A Preferred Stock, 98.8% of the Series 2-A Preferred Stock and 100% of the Series 4-A Preferred Stock were tendered to the Company and subsequently cancelled. As a result, 67,600 shares of Series 1-A Preferred Stock and 3,900 shares of Series 2-A Preferred Stock remain outstanding. A further result of the Exchange Offer is that the potential Series 4-A Preferred Stock put right discussed above has been extinguished and the aggregate preference amount of our remaining Preferred Stock was reduced to approximately $194,000.
Simultaneous with completion of the Exchange Offer, we tendered our remaining 0.5% interest in Asia Holding Co. to Symphony House, at a price of US$0.158 per share pursuant to a tender offer being conducted by Symphony House for shares of Asia Holding Co. Vsource received $81,938 in cash proceeds as a result of the sale of its remaining shares in Asia Holding Co. to Symphony House.
Symphony House also entered into an agreement (the Symphony Purchase Agreement) pursuant to which it agreed to purchase Vsource common stock and warrants from certain preferred stockholders. As a result of the Symphony Purchase Agreement, which was completed on November 24, 2004, Symphony House acquired approximately 31.3% of the common stock of Vsource and warrants which, if exercised, would result in Symphony House owning approximately 53.6% of the outstanding common stock of Vsource. Since the completion of the Exchange Offer and the Symphony Purchase Agreement, the Companys active BPO business operations ceased.
On December 6, 2004, we announced the resignation of Phillip E. Kelly as Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer of Vsource. In addition, we announced that Dennis M. Smith, Vice Chairman and Chief Financial Officer, replaced Mr. Kelly as Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer of Vsource. On December 6, 2004, we also announced that Luc Villette and I. Steven Edelson resigned as members of the Board of Directors of the Company with effect from November 30, 2004.
On April 1, 2005, the Board of Directors elected Richardson E. Sells as a Director of Vsource. Mr. Sells was also appointed to the Audit Committee of Vsources Board of Directors. There was no arrangement or understanding pursuant to which Mr. Sells was selected as a director and Mr. Sells has not been party to any transactions with Vsource.
4
Finally, on April 1, 2005 and effective upon Mr. Sells appointment to Vsources Board of Directors, Stephen Stonefield, a member of the Board and its Audit Committee, resigned as a member of the Board of Directors.
CURRENT OPERATIONS
As a result of the Exchange Offer, Vsource no longer has an ownership interest in Vsource Asia or in Asia Holding Co, and therefore no longer provides BPO services. Since the completion of the Exchange Offer, our only active business operations consist of limited consulting services for which we received revenue in the amount of $254,000 during the year ended January 31, 2005 (Fiscal 2005). In Fiscal 2005 and through the Exchange Offer, Vsource Asia generated $13.9 million in revenues or approximately 96% of our consolidated revenues.
Since completing the Exchange Offer in November 2004, we have reduced our headcount and now operate with a minimal three person staff our Chief Executive Officer, General Counsel and an administrative assistant and have dedicated our time to determining how to use our remaining assets. We are in the process of considering our alternatives, including the sale of Vsource; liquidation and distribution of remaining assets to shareholders; and potential acquisition opportunities. In respect of potential acquisitions, we have not identified a specific industry on which we intend to focus; however, drawing on Vsources BPO background, we may consider small- to medium-sized business service companies in the United States, Europe and Japan that can benefit from the productivity arbitrage derived from the migration of operations involving high volume transaction processing to Asia and/or business services companies operating in Asia. In the case of a sale or acquisition, we may pursue additional funding opportunities. We have no present arrangements or understandings with respect to the sale of Vsource or the acquisition of any specific business.
Vsource Asia provides us with infrastructure management and administrative services, including accounting support, for a monthly fee of $5,000. Presently, these services are provided under an oral understanding and we are in the process of entering into a written agreement with Vsource Asia formalizing this arrangement.
At January 31, 2005, we had amounts owed to us from Vsource Asia totaling $1.739 million. These amounts relate to legacy inter-company obligations in place prior to the completion of the Exchange Offer. We are in discussions with Vsource Asia and its parent, Symphony House, to finalize payment arrangements and to memorialize this obligation with a written promissory note or other agreement evidencing a deferred payment plan. We may also consider selling or assigning the obligation to Symphony House or a third party at a purchase price to be mutually agreed, which price may represent a discount to the $1.739 million owed. Because of the uncertainty of the full repayment of the Vsource Asia obligation, we have made an estimated discount of $0.783 million against it and currently value the asset at $0.956 million.
INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY
We currently have trademark registrations in the United States and the European Community for the mark VSOURCE and our logo in the United States. When we provided BPO services, we used Vsource Versatile Solutions, Vsource Foundation Solutions, Vmarketing and Vsuites as trademarks. We have not secured registrations for any of these trademarks in the United States or in any other country. We cannot guarantee that we will be able to secure registrations of our marks domestically or in any foreign country. Our inability to register and protect marks could require us to stop using them or to share them with others, which could cause confusion in the marketplace.
We currently hold various Internet domain names, including www.Vsource.com and www.Vsource2U.com. The acquisition and maintenance of domain names generally is regulated by Internet regulatory bodies. The regulation of domain names in the United States and in foreign countries is subject to change. Governing bodies may establish additional top-level domains, appoint additional domain name registrars or modify the requirements for holding domain names. As a result, we may be unable to acquire or maintain relevant domain names in all countries in which we conduct business or into which we choose to expand. Furthermore, the relationship between regulations governing domain names and laws protecting trademarks and similar proprietary rights continues to evolve. Therefore, we may be unable to prevent third parties from acquiring domain names that are similar to, infringe upon or otherwise decrease the value of our intellectual property and other proprietary rights.
5
We do not hold any patents.
On July 1, 2004, Vsource and Vsource Asia entered into a trademark and domain name license agreement (the License Agreement) pursuant to which Vsource granted Vsource Asia, for nominal consideration, a worldwide, perpetual, non-exclusive license to use the trademarks Vsource, including the Vsource logo, Vsource Versatile Solutions, Vsource Foundation Solutions, Vmarketing and Vsuites, the domain name www.vsource.com, as well as other domain names used by Vsource, and the word Vsource in any new domain names that Vsource Asia may wish to register from time to time.
EMPLOYEES
We have three employees at March 31, 2005 and consider our relations with employees to be good. None of our employees are represented by a labor union or under any collective bargaining agreement.
RISK FACTORS
ANY INVESTMENT IN THE COMPANYS COMMON STOCK INVOLVES A HIGH DEGREE OF RISK. YOU SHOULD CAREFULLY CONSIDER THE FOLLOWING RISK FACTORS IN ADDITION TO THE OTHER INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THIS REPORT.
Symphony House Berhad has significant voting control over the Company.
Symphony House currently beneficially owns 648,860 shares of our common stock, representing 31.3% of our outstanding common stock as of March 31, 2005. In addition, as part of the Symphony Purchase Agreement, Symphony purchased an outstanding warrant from a former preferred stockholder. This warrant became exercisable on April 1, 2005 and entitles Symphony to acquire an additional 1,000,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price per share of $0.01. Therefore, assuming it exercises its warrant, Symphony House would own 1,648,860 shares of common stock, which would represent 53.6% of our common stock, when measured at March 31, 2005.
As a result of its voting interest, Symphony House has significant voting influence regarding such matters as the election of our directors, amendments to our charter, other fundamental transactions such as mergers, asset sales, the sale of the Companys business and the liquidation of the Companys assets, and other issues regarding the direction of the Companys affairs. In addition, this voting influence could result in actions that could have an anti-takeover effect and may delay, defer or prevent a tender offer or takeover attempt or other transaction that a stockholder might consider in its best interest, including an attempt that might result in the receipt of a premium over the market price for the shares held by such stockholders. Such actions may include creating additional classes of stock with disparate voting rights, creating a classified Board of Directors with staggered terms, prohibiting the stockholders to take any action by a written consent or requiring advance notice for stockholder proposals and director nominations.
Dennis Smith, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Vsource serves as a director of Vsource Asia, which is majority owned by Symphony House. As a result of exchanging his Vsource Series 4-A Preferred Stock in the Exchange Offer, Mr. Smith also holds a minority ownership interest in Asia Holding Co. that owns a majority of the shares of Vsource Asia and Symphony House is the majority shareholder of Asia Holding Co.
We have limited cash resources and a large portion of these are owed to us by Vsource Asia and there is uncertainty about full payment of this obligation.
As discussed under the heading Business Current Operations, we have amounts owed to us from Vsource Asia totaling $1.739 million, against which there is an estimated discount of $0.783 million because of the uncertainty of full repayment. These amounts related to legacy inter-company obligations in place prior to the completion of the Exchange Offer. We are in discussions with Vsource Asia and its parent, Symphony House, to finalize payment arrangements and to memorialize this obligation with a written promissory note or other agreement evidencing a deferred payment plan. We may also consider selling or assigning the obligation to Symphony House or a third party at a price to be mutually agreed, which price may represent a discount to the $1.739 million owed or even to the $0.956 million value ($1.739 million subtracting the $0.783 million estimated discount) we currently use to value this asset. There is, however, no assurance that we will successfully replace the Vsource Asia payment obligation with a promissory note or deferred payment plan or negotiate for the sale of the obligation to a third party. If we are unable to conclude a written promissory note or other agreement evidencing a deferred payment plan with Vsource Asia and Vsource Asia fails to honor its payment obligation and we seek legal redress or we fail to sell the obligation to a third party, this would have a material adverse effect on our financial condition.
6
We continue to have significant corporate and SEC-related expenses and limited revenue to offset these expenses.
Although we have taken measures to reduce expenses, including reducing the number of employees to three, monthly overheads, including salaries, office rent for our offices in La Jolla, California and Hong Kong, and other administrative expenses are significant when viewed as a portion of our existing cash resources. In addition, the costs associated with filings and compliance as a SEC registrant, including legal and accounting fees, represent a material cost to us. We had revenues in the amount of $254,000 during Fiscal 2005 from limited consulting services provided to third parties. There is no assurance we will be able to increase or even match these revenues in the coming year or that these revenues will cover our significant corporate and SEC-related expenses.
We have broad discretion in using our cash resources and may not use them in a manner that our stockholders would prefer.
We have not identified specific uses for our cash resources, and have broad discretion in how we use them. Although we may, among other opportunities, consider investments or acquisitions, including the sale of the Company, we have not identified a specific industry on which we intend to initially focus and have no present arrangements or understandings with respect the acquisition of any specific business. We may consider investment and acquisition opportunities, including the sale of the Company, outside of the business process outsourcing or broader services sector. In general, our stockholders will not have the opportunity to evaluate the economic, financial or other information on which we base our decisions on how to use our cash resources. The failure of our Board of Directors and management to apply the funds effectively could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition.
Appropriate acquisitions or investment opportunities may not be available.
As noted above, we may use a portion of our cash resources to pursue acquisition opportunities, including the sale of the Company. If we decide to seek such opportunities, our future results will be dependent on our ability to identify, attract and complete desirable acquisition opportunities, which may take considerable time. In addition, our cash position, $0.5 million at March 31, 2005, and the uncertainty surrounding repayment of the Vsource Asia obligation, may limit the scale and therefore the number of opportunities available. Our future results will be dependent on the performance of the acquired businesses, if any. We may not be successful in identifying, attracting or acquiring desirable acquisition candidates, or in realizing profits from any acquisitions.
Pending their possible application, we anticipate that our cash resources will be placed in interest-bearing bank accounts or readily marketable interest-bearing securities. As a result of the lack of an operating business and our large number of stockholders, we must maintain our liquid assets in bank accounts or in government securities, which generally produce low returns, or comply with the requirements of the Investment Company Act of 1940. Consequently, until we complete an acquisition, we anticipate that our cash resources will yield only that rate of return earned by such interest-bearing accounts. In addition, a portion of our cash resources will be used to pay corporate overhead and administrative costs, and other expenses associated with analyzing and pursuing acquisition opportunities.
7
We will have sole and absolute discretion in identifying and selecting acquisition and investment opportunities and in structuring, negotiating and undertaking transactions with our target companies. We may acquire, invest or be sold (in whole or in part) at any time, as our Board of Directors and management determine is appropriate. Our stockholders generally will not be able to evaluate the merits of the acquisition, investment or sale (partial or otherwise) before we take any of these actions. In addition, in making decisions to complete acquisitions, investments or a sale, we will rely, in part, on financial projections developed by our management and financial advisors and the management of potential target companies. These projections will be based on assumptions and subjective judgments. The actual results of these transactions may differ significantly from these projections.
We may finance acquisitions by issuing additional capital stock or incurring substantial debt, both of which could have negative consequences.
As noted, we may use a portion of our resources to pursue acquisition opportunities and the timing, size and success of our acquisition efforts and any associated capital commitments cannot be readily predicted. We may raise additional funds to complete such acquisitions. Generally, our Board of Directors has the power to issue new equity (to the extent of authorized shares) without stockholder approval. If additional funds are raised through the issuance of equity securities, the percentage ownership of the Companys then current stockholders would be diluted, our earnings and book value per share could be diluted and, if such equity securities take the form of preferred stock, the holders of such preferred stock may have the rights, preferences or privileges senior to those of holders of common stock. If we are able to raise additional funds through the incurrence of debt, and the Company does so, we would likely become subject to restrictive financial covenants and other risks associated with the incurrence of debt.
If we are deemed to be an Investment Company, we will be forced to comply with the requirements under the Investment Company Act of 1940, which could limit the flexibility of our operations.
U.S. companies that have more than 100 stockholders or are publicly traded in the U.S. and are, or hold themselves out as being, engaged primarily in the business of investment, reinvesting or trading in securities are subject to regulation under the Investment Company Act of 1940. Unless a substantial part of our assets consists or, and a substantial part of our income is derived from interests in the majority-owned subsidiaries and companies that we primarily control, we may be required to register and become subject to regulation under the Investment Company Act.
If we are deemed to be, and are required to register as, an investment company, we will be forced to comply with substantive requirements under the Investment Company Act, including:
| limitations on our ability to borrow; |
| limitations on our capital structure; |
| restrictions on acquisitions of interests in associated companies; |
| prohibitions on transactions with affiliates; |
| restrictions on specific investments; and |
| compliance with reporting, record keeping, voting, proxy disclosure and other rules and regulations. |
Substantial costs of any securities litigation could divert our limited resources.
We could become a target of securities litigation based upon the volatility of our stock in the marketplace. Litigation of this type could result in substantial costs and divert managements attention and resources. Over the past five years, our stock has declined steeply from as high as $1,700 per share to as low as $0.12 per share (in each case as adjusted to reflect our 20-to-1 reverse stock split which was effected on November 20, 2002), and as of March 31, 2005 the closing price of our common stock was $0.14 per share. Public companies suffering this much stock price volatility are often sued by their shareholders.
8
Additionally, we are obligated to indemnify our directors and officers as required by our bylaws under certain circumstances. Accordingly, we may be required to pay any judgments and legal costs to defend our directors and officers, in addition to the Company, in these actions, to the extent that such costs are not covered by insurance.
The market for our common stock may be illiquid.
The average daily trading volume of our registered common stock on the OTC Bulletin Board is currently less than 2,000 shares, and we have had some days with no trading. There can be no assurance that trading volumes will increase to a consistently higher level or that holders of the shares will be able to sell their shares in a timely manner or at all.
Our stock is not listed on a major stock market
Our common stock currently trades on the OTC Bulletin Board and we do not meet the listing requirements for the Nasdaq national market or any other major stock market in the United States. The listing of our stock may have an effect on the perception of our company among potential investors or acquirers and may adversely affect the liquidity of our shares and therefore can have an effect on our ability to complete such transactions or raise additional funds.
Our executive headquarters are located in 2,170 square feet of space in La Jolla, California and is leased through May 31, 2006. We also have an office in Hong Kong occupying 2,934 square feet. Although, our Hong Kong lease was originally due to expire on August 31, 2005, we have recently agreed with the landlord to an early termination of the lease and have paid outstanding rent and other charges through June 2005 in full satisfaction of our obligations under this lease.

SHAREHOLDERS
As of April 15, 2005, there were 495 stockholders of record of our common stock, 3 holders of our Series 1-A convertible preferred stock, referred to herein as Series 1-A Preferred, 1 holder of our Series 2-A convertible preferred stock, referred to herein as Series 2-A Preferred, no holders of our Series 3-A convertible preferred stock and no holders of our Series 4-A Preferred.
DIVIDENDS
We have never declared or paid cash dividends on our common stock or preferred stock. Holders of our Series 1-A Preferred are entitled to noncumulative dividends, if declared by the Board of Directors, of $0.20 per share annually. Holders of our Series 2-A Preferred are entitled to noncumulative dividends, if declared by the Board of Directors, in an amount equal to 8% of the price originally paid to Vsource for each share of Series 2-A Preferred ($0.51 per share as of March 31, 2005, based on the original purchase price of $6.41 per share, as may be adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, combinations and the like). No dividend may be declared and paid upon shares of our common stock in any fiscal year unless dividends on all such preferred stock have been paid or declared and set aside for payment to holders of our preferred stock for such fiscal year. We currently intend to retain all future earnings to finance future growth and, therefore, do not anticipate declaring or paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future.

The maximum number of shares of common stock that may be issued under the 2001 Stock Options/Stock Issuance Plan cannot exceed 20% of the total shares of common stock outstanding at the time the calculation is made (including, on an as-converted basis, all convertible preferred stock, convertible debt securities, warrants, options and other convertible securities that are exercisable) but in no event will the maximum number of shares of common stock which may be issued under this plan as incentive stock options exceed 20,000,000. As of January 31, 2005, based on the 20% calculation, the maximum number of shares issuable under the 2001 Plan was 569,228. The maximum number of shares of common stock that may be purchased under our Employee Stock Purchase Plan is 350,000. In Fiscal 2005, the Employee Stock Purchase Plan was not offered and consequently there were no shares issued under this plan. Since its inception, a total of 22,940 shares of common stock have been purchased pursuant to the Employee Stock Purchase Plan. |

(2) | On February 22, 2005, an aggregate of 330,550 shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of options held by employees of the Companys former operating subsidiary, Vsource Asia Berhad, were cancelled pursuant to the provisions of the 2001 Plan. As of March 31, 2005 and after taking account of the cancellation of the Vsource Asia-related options and other options cancelled due to employee departures, the number of shares issuable upon all outstanding options was 91,346 and the maximum number of shares issuable under the 2001 Plan was 502,516. |
(3) | In July 2000, the Company approved a stock option plan (the 2000 Plan). This plan has not been approved by our stockholders. The 2000 Plan authorizes the grant of incentive stock options and non-statutory stock options covering an aggregate of 39,750, as adjusted for our November 2002 reverse stock split, shares of common stock (subject to limitations of applicable laws, and adjustment in the event of stock dividends, stock splits, reverse stock splits and certain other corporate events). The 2000 Plan expires on July 6, 2010, unless it is terminated earlier or suspended by the Board. The 2000 Plan is not subject to any provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. As of January 31, 2005, options to purchase an aggregate of 27,171 shares of common stock are classified as outstanding under the 2000 Plan, with a weighted average exercise price of $15.25. In addition, as of January 31, 2005, the Company has issued warrants to purchase an aggregate of 38,922 shares of common stock, with a weighted average exercise price of $78.78, to certain individuals and vendors as compensation for services rendered. The Company does not intend to issue any further options under the 2000 Plan or warrants to purchase stock to additional individuals or vendors as compensation for services rendered. |

Item 7. MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and the related notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this Form 10-K.
FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS
The information set forth in Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation (MD&A) contains certain forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, including, among others (i) prospective business opportunities and (ii) our potential strategies for redirecting and financing our business. Forward-looking statements are statements other than historical information or statements of current condition. Some forward-looking statements may be identified by use of terms such as believes, anticipates, intends or expects. These forward-looking statements relate to the plans, objectives and expectations of the Company. Although we believe that our expectations with respect to the forward-looking statements are based upon reasonable assumptions within the bounds of our knowledge of our business and operations, in light of the risks and uncertainties inherent in all future projections, the inclusion of forward-looking statements in this report should not be regarded as a representation by the Company or any other person that the objectives or plans of the Company will be achieved. Readers should carefully review the risk factors described in this document as well as in our other documents that we file from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and Current Reports on Form 8-K.
We undertake no obligation to release publicly the results of any future revisions we may make to forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this report or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.
OVERVIEW
OUR FISCAL YEAR ENDS ON JANUARY 31 OF THE FOLLOWING CALENDAR YEAR. UNLESS OTHERWISE INDICATED, REFERENCES TO 2002, 2003,2004 AND 2005 RELATE TO THE FISCAL YEARS ENDED JANUARY 31, 2002, 2003, 2004 AND 2005, RESPECTIVELY, RATHER THAN CALENDAR YEARS. AS NOTED ABOVE, IN 2005 WE CONCLUDED THE EXCHANGE OFFER AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS RESULTING IN THE CESSATION OF OUR OWNERSHIP IN VSOURCE ASIA, WHICH REPRESENTED 96% AND 100% OF OUR REVENUES IN 2005 AND 2004, RESPECTIVELY. THE DISCUSSION BELOW PRESENTS OUR RESULTS, EXCLUDING REVENUES AND EXPENSES FROM DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS.
From 2001 to November 2004, we provided Fortune 500 and Global 500 companies with customizable and comprehensive business process outsourcing solutions into and across the Asia-Pacific region.
12
In the fourth quarter of 2005, as a result of the Exchange Offer and related transactions described under the heading Business Company Background, we ceased operating any active business, apart from limited consulting services we provide to third parties and for which we received revenue in the amount of $254,000 during the year ended January 31, 2005. Accordingly, the results of operations have been classified as discontinued, which significantly affects the comparability of the following information for certain of the periods presented below in the MD&A. Therefore, our historical results will not be indicative of future performance.
We are in the process of considering our future alternatives. Among the alternatives that may be considered is the pursuit of acquisition opportunities, sale or liquidation of the Company.
FUNDING
We had an accumulated deficit of approximately $65.6 million as of January 31, 2005 that has been funded primarily through preferred stock financing and cash generated from the disposal of interest in Vsource Asia and the Exchange Offer (see heading Business Company Background for detail). We have sustained operating losses since inception. In 2005, we used net cash of $7.9 million from operating activities, generated $8.6 million in investing activities, and generated $10,000 from financing activities that resulted in an increase in cash of $0.7 million.
Our management believes that we have adequate funding from cash and cash equivalents and from the receivable from Vsource Asia for us to continue in operation for at least 12 months from the balance sheet date. Therefore, we have prepared our financial statements on a going concern basis. However, without additional funding, there is substantial doubt that about our ability to continue as a going concern beyond 12 months.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
We prepare our consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. As such, we are required to make certain estimates, judgments and assumptions that we believe are reasonable based upon the information available. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the periods presented. The significant accounting policies which we believe are the most critical to aid in fully understanding and evaluating our reported financial results include the following:
Revenue and costs recognition
Revenue derived from continuing operations, our consulting services, are recognized based on services rendered. Costs relating to consulting services are recognized when incurred.
Recoverability of assets
At January 31, 2005, we had amounts owed to us from Vsource Asia totaling $1.739 million. These amounts related to legacy inter-company obligations in place prior to the completion of the Exchange Offer. Because of the uncertainty of the full repayment of the Vsource Asia obligation, we have made an estimated discount of $0.783 million against it, giving rise to a net receivable of $0.956 million, being our managements best estimate of the amount that will ultimately be recoverable.

MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION & ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS YEAR ENDED JANUARY 31, 2005 COMPARED TO THE YEAR ENDED JANUARY 31, 2004. AS NOTED ABOVE, IN 2005 WE CONCLUDED THE EXCHANGE OFFER AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS RESULTING IN THE CESSATION OF OUR OWNERSHIP IN VSOURCE ASIA, WHICH REPRESENTED 96% AND 100% OF OUR REVENUES IN 2005 AND 2004, RESPECTIVELY. THE DISCUSSION BELOW PRESENTS OUR RESULTS, EXCLUDING REVENUES AND EXPENSES FROM DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS.
Revenue
Revenue in 2005 from continuing operations was derived entirely from consulting services.
Our revenues in 2005 from continuing operations increased to $0.254 million from zero in 2004. All revenues in 2005 were earned from providing consulting services to third parties.
Cost of Revenue
Cost of revenue from continuing operations consisted primarily of costs related to employees and other expenses that were associated with providing consulting services to clients.
14
Cost of revenue increased to $0.161 million in 2005 from zero in 2004. Total cost of revenues in 2005 represented 63% of total revenue.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Selling, general and administrative expenses consisted primarily of employee-related costs that are not directly related to providing goods or services, such as salaries and benefits of administrative and support personnel, rental, insurance premiums and costs relating to certain other outside services.
Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased by 40% to $2.34 million in 2005 from $3.88 million in 2004. Total selling, general and administrative expenses represented 922% of total revenue. Due to sale of the Companys interest in Vsource Asia, we were able to implement cost reduction initiatives and streamline our administrative structure in 2005. As noted in Business Current Operations, we rely on Vsource Asia to provide us with infrastructure and administrative services, including accounting support, and the monthly fees for these services, which totaled $54,400 in Fiscal 2005, are included within selling, general and administrative expenses.
Amortization of Stock-based Compensation
Amortization of stock-based compensation is related to the issuance of stock options to employees with an exercise price below the fair market value of the underlying stock at the date of measurement. The stock-based compensation was fully amortized in 2004.
Operating Loss
As a result of the foregoing, we had an operating loss from continuing operations in 2005 of $2.25 million, which was lower than our operating loss of $5.39 million in 2004.
Interest Expense
We had $12,000 interest expense in 2005, compared to zero in 2004.
Taxation
Taxation charges for the current year amounted to $5,000, attributable entirely to California Franchise Tax for 2005. There is no tax payable arising on income disposal of discontinued operations as the same were offset against tax losses brought forward from prior years.
Discontinued Operations
As noted above under the heading Overview, we disposed of Vsource Asia, our former wholly-owned Malaysian subsidiary in a series of transactions culminating in the Exchange Offer.
We recorded a gain from disposal of entire interest in Vsource Asia of $21.6 million. The gain is calculated based on the difference between the cash proceeds and value of preferred stocks cancelled as a result of the Exchange Offer and the net assets of the subsidiary at the date of disposal. Incidental costs of disposal of $0.3 million were incurred.
As a result of the Exchange Offer, Vsource no longer has an ownership interest in Vsource Asia or in Asia Holding Co, and therefore no longer provides BPO services or has any active business operations, apart from consulting services.
Human capital management solutions were originally launched in October 2003 and discontinued in July 2004. Revenue from the segment was $0.25 million and $0.07 million in 2005 and 2004, respectively. Operating losses in 2005 and 2004 were $0.99 million and $0.68 million, respectively.
In conjunction with the decision to discontinue human capital management solutions, we disposed of our interest in a former wholly owned subsidiary, Vsource (Texas), Inc, which was primarily engaged in the delivery of these services.
15
We recorded a loss on disposal of $0.16 million from the disposal of Vsource Texas. The loss was calculated based on the difference of the sale price to the net assets of the subsidiary at the date of disposal. The $46,000 sale price was payable in the form of a promissory note and was based on the excess of assets over liabilities, including certain long term lease and other contractual commitments totaling approximately $87,000, as measured at June 1, 2004. The terms of the note provided for payment in twelve equal monthly installments starting on August 15, 2004, bearing interest at 3% per annum. The note was pre-paid in full on March 3, 2005. No incidental costs were incurred.
Net Income or Loss
As a result of the foregoing, we had a net income in 2005 of $15.2 million in 2005, compared to a net loss in 2004 of $11.4 million.
Deemed Non-cash Dividend to Preferred Shareholders
In 2005 and 2004, we recorded a deemed dividend of $12.2 million and $11.9 million respectively, arising from Series 4-A Preferred Stock representing the amortization of the discount on the issue of this stock for both attached warrants and beneficial conversion features.
Credit on Exchange
Upon completion of the Exchange Offer on November 22¸ 2004, the Company recorded a credit of $34.4 million representing the excess of the carrying value of preferred stock over the fair value of the common stock of Asia Holding Co. issued for the exchange.
Net Income or Loss Available to Common Shareholders
Net income or loss available to common shareholders is computed from net income or loss and adding or deducting deemed non-cash dividend to preferred shareholders and credit on exchanges. We had net income available to common shareholders of $37.4 million, or $18.37 and $17.92 per basic and diluted share, respectively, in 2005, compared to a net loss of $23.2 million, or $12.15 per basic share, in 2004 .
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Our cash and cash equivalents totaled $1.1 million as of January 31, 2005, as compared to $0.3 million as of January 31, 2004. As of January 31, 2005, we had working capital of $1.9 million and shareholders equity of $1.7 million. We had no long term liabilities as of January 31, 2005. To date, we have financed our operations primarily through preferred stock financings and cash generated from the disposal of our interest in Vsource Asia in a series of transactions culminating in the Exchange Offer (see Overview above for detail).
Net cash used in operating activities increased $1.2 million, from $6.7 million to $7.9 million in 2005. Net cash received from investing activities increased $11.8 million from ($3.2) million in 2004 to $8.6 million in 2005. Net cash received from investing activities for 2005 primarily related to the proceeds from disposal of discontinued operations of $9.6 million. Net cash used in investing activities in 2004 primarily related to the acquisition of property and equipment of $1.7 million and the $1.5 million expenses related to the terminated merger with TEAM America.
Net cash provided by financing activities was $10,000 in 2005 and $34,000 in 2004. Net cash provided by financing activities in 2005 came from issuance of common stock arising from stock options exercised. Net cash provided by financing activities in 2004 came from issuance of common stock under our Employee Stock Purchase Plan.
As of January 31, 2005, the only significant contractual obligations or commercial commitments outstanding consisted of our future minimum lease commitments totaling $0.17 million, of which $0.14 million will be paid out in 2006 and $0.03 million in 2007. We have no other off-balance sheet arrangements that could significantly reduce our liquidity.
16
The Company now operates with a small staff who are dedicated to assessing and seeking out alternative actions available to the Company, which may include the sale of the Company, liquidation and distribution of remaining assets to shareholders; and potential acquisition opportunities. In the case of a sale or acquisition, the Company may pursue additional funding opportunities.
As of January 31, 2005, we had liabilities of $0.779 million and our main assets consisted of cash and cash equivalents of $ 1.064 million and an amount due from Vsource Asia, a related party, of $0.956 million ($1.739 million less estimated discount of $0.783 million). We are in discussions with Vsource Asia and its parent Symphony House to finalize payment arrangements in respect of the amount due and our management is confident that the amount due will be received so as to allow the Company to pay its obligations as and when they fall due. A delay or default in payment by Vsource Asia in respect of this obligation would have a materially adverse effect on the Companys financial condition.
The Companys management believes that the Company has adequate funding from cash and cash equivalents and from the obligation from Vsource Asia for the Company to continue in operation for at least 12 months from the balance sheet date. Therefore, the Company has prepared its financial statements on a going concern basis. However, without additional funding, there is substantial doubt about the Companys ability to continue as a going concern beyond 12 months.
RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In December 2004, the FASB issued a revised SFAS No. 123R, Share-Based Payment, which replaces SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation and supersedes APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees. This Statement establishes standards for the accounting for transactions in which an entity exchanges its equity instruments for goods or services, and addresses transactions in which an entity incurs liabilities in exchange for goods or services that are based on the fair value of the entitys equity instruments or that may be settled by the issuance of those equity instruments. The focus is on accounting for transactions in which an entity obtains employee services in share-based payment transactions. The Statement also eliminates the use of the intrinsic value method of accounting, as discussed in Opinion 25 and was provided in Statement 123 as an alternative to valuation. Under Opinion 25, issuing stock options to employees generally resulted in recognition of no compensation cost. This Statement requires entities to recognize the cost of employee services received in exchange for awards of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value of those awards, with limited exceptions. The original effective date was interim or annual reporting periods beginning after June 15, 2005, but subsequently the SEC has converted this to be only applicable to annual periods beginning after this date. The company does not expect the adoption of SFAS No. 123R to have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.
ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Interest Rate Risk
Our exposure to market risk for changes in interest rates relates primarily to our cash on deposit with high quality financial institutions. While we are exposed with respect to interest rate fluctuations in many countries, our interest income is most sensitive to fluctuations in the general level of U.S. interest rates. In this regard, changes in U.S. interest rates affect the interest earned on our cash. However, changes in interest income will not have a material impact on our financial results, as we derived only $14,000 from interest income in 2005.
Foreign Currency Risk
Our business derives most of its revenues from operations in the United States. All our revenues are currently denominated in U.S. dollars. An increase or decrease in the value of the U.S. dollar relative to foreign currencies does not have a material impact on the demand for our services or on our expenses. Currently, we do not hedge against any foreign currencies and, as a result, could incur unanticipated gains or losses.
In 2005 and 2004, we incurred expenses in foreign currencies, principally Hong Kong Dollars. The Hong Kong Dollar currently has a fixed exchange rate to the U.S. dollar and there is no exchange exposure at present although there is no assurance that such fixed exchange rate will be maintained in the future.

Item 8. CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To The Board of Directors and Shareholders
of Vsource, Inc:
In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and the related consolidated statements of income, shareholders equity/deficit and cash flows present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Vsource, Inc. and its subsidiaries at 31 January 2005 and 2004, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended 31 January 2005 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Companys management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these statements 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, 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.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in note 1 Future Funding, the Company no longer has any active business operations and only has sufficient assets, including a receivable from a related party, to continue in operation for one year which raises substantial doubt about the Companys ability to continue as a going concern beyond one year. Managements plans in regard to this matter are also described in note 1 Future Funding. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

VSOURCE, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. | The Company |
VSOURCE, INC. (Vsource or the Company) was originally incorporated in Nevada in October 1980 and re-incorporated in Delaware in November 2000. From 2001 to December 2004, the Company provided Fortune 500 and Global 500 companies with customizable and comprehensive business process outsourcing solutions into and across the Asia-Pacific region.
On December 11, 2003, December 30, 2003 and March 22, 2004, the Company entered into sales and purchase agreements with Symphony House Berhad (Symphony House) and other investors to sell them 38.8% of the issued and outstanding share capital of Vsource Asia Berhad, formerly known as Vsource (Malaysia) Sdn Bhd, (Vsource Asia), its formerly wholly-owned Malaysian subsidiary, for a total consideration of approximately $9.5 million. As part of the transaction, the Company transferred all of the shares and share capital of its wholly owned subsidiaries in Japan and Taiwan to Vsource Asia, and all intercompany amounts outstanding as of November 30, 2003 between these three companies and the Company and its other subsidiaries were waived or forgiven. The sale was completed on March 23, 2004. As a result, the Company owned 61.2% of Vsource Asia, and Symphony House and the other investors held 30.3% and 8.5% respectively, upon the conclusion of these transactions.
On November 22¸ 2004, the Company contributed its remaining 61.2% ownership interest in Vsource Asia to a new wholly owned subsidiary of the Company incorporated in the British Virgin Islands (Asia Holding Co.). Immediately thereafter, the Company completed an exchange offer pursuant to which the holders of its Series 1-A Preferred Stock (the Series 1-A Preferred), Series 2-A Preferred Stock (the Series 2-A Preferred) and Series 4-A Preferred Stock (the Series 4-A Preferred and collectively with the Series 1-A Preferred and Series 2-A Preferred, the Preferred Stock) could exchange their Preferred Stock for common shares of Asia Holding Co. at certain exchange ratios (the Exchange Offer). Effective upon the completion of the Exchange Offer, 92.8% of the Series 1-A Preferred, 98.8% of the Series 2-A Preferred and 100% of the Series 4-A Preferred were tendered to the Company and subsequently cancelled. As a result, 67,600 shares of Series 1-A Preferred Stock and 3,900 shares of Series 2-A Preferred Stock remain outstanding. Simultaneous with completion of the Exchange Offer, the Company tendered its remaining 0.5% interest in Asia Holding Co. to Symphony House, at a price of US$0.158 per share pursuant to a tender offer being conducted by Symphony House for shares of Asia Holding Co. The Company received $81,938 in cash proceeds as a result of the sale of its remaining shares in Asia Holding Co. to Symphony House.
As a result of the Exchange Offer, the Company no longer has an ownership interest in Vsource Asia or in Asia Holding Co, and therefore no longer provides BPO services. In the year ended January 31, 2005, Vsource Asia generated approximately 96% of our combined revenues. As a result of the Exchange Offer the Company no longer has any active business operations. Refer to Note 3 for details of the discontinued operations.
Future Funding
The Company has sustained operating losses since inception and had an accumulated deficit of approximately $65.6 million as of January 31, 2005 that has been funded primarily through preferred stock financing and cash generated from the disposal of its interest in Vsource Asia. As described in note 3, the Company disposed of its business operations during the year and no longer has any active business operations. The Company now operates with a small staff and who are dedicated to assessing alternative actions available to the Company which may include the sale of the Company, liquidation and distribution of remaining assets to shareholders; and potential acquisition opportunities. In the case of a sale or acquisition, the Company may pursue additional funding opportunities.
As of January 31, 2005, the Company had liabilities of $0.779 million and its main assets consisted of cash and cash equivalents of $1.064 million and an amount due from Vsource Asia, a related party, of $0.956 million ($1.739 million less estimated discount of $0.783 million). The Company is in discussions with Vsource Asia and its parent Symphony House to finalize payment arrangements in respect of the amount due and management is confident that the amount due will be received so as to allow the Company to pay its obligations as and when they fall due. A delay or default in payment by Vsource Asia in respect of this obligation would have a materially adverse effect on the Companys financial condition.
24
VSOURCE, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The Companys management believes that the Company has adequate funding from cash and cash equivalents and from the receivable from Vsource Asia for the Company to continue in operation for at least 12 months from the balance sheet date. Therefore, the Company has prepared its financial statements on a going concern basis. However, without additional funding, there is substantial doubt about the Companys ability to continue as a going concern beyond 12 months.
Concentration of Credit Risk
The Company has amounts owed to it by Vsource Asia totaling $1.739 million, against which the Company has made an estimated discount of $0.783 million (note 8).
2. | Summary of Significant Accounting Policies |
Fiscal Year
The Companys fiscal year ends on January 31. Unless otherwise indicated, all references to years relate to fiscal years rather than calendar years. Thus, for example, a reference to 2005 means the fiscal year ended January 31, 2005.
Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation
The consolidated financial statements include the Companys accounts and the accounts of its subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the 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. Actual results could differ from estimates and assumptions made.
Foreign Currency Translation
Assets and liabilities of foreign subsidiaries, where the functional currency is the local currency, are translated using exchange rates in effect at the end of the period, and revenue and costs are translated using average exchange rates for the period. Gains and losses on the translation into U.S. dollars of amounts denominated in foreign currencies are included in the results of operations for those operations whose functional currency is the U.S. dollar, and as a separate component of shareholders equity for those operations whose functional currency is the local currency.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash consists of cash on hand and amounts deposited with high quality financial institutions. Cash equivalents are highly liquid instruments including cash in money market current accounts that are interest-bearing, capital guaranteed and without any withdrawal restrictions.
Inventories |
Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market value. Cost is generally determined using LIFO (last-in, first-out) method. The carrying cost of inventories approximates current cost.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation for property and equipment is provided using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets as follows:
Computer hardware |
2 to 5 years | |
Computer software |
5 years | |
Office equipment, furniture and fixtures |
5 years | |
Motor vehicle |
3 years |
25
VSOURCE, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Depreciation for leasehold improvements is provided using the straight-line method over the shorter of the estimated useful lives of the respective assets or the remaining lease term. Depreciation expense for 2005, 2004 and 2003 was $0.042 million, $0.043 million and $0.24 million, respectively.
The Company recorded a $4,000 gain on disposal of property and equipment for 2005.
Impairment of Long-lived Assets
The Company reviews long-lived assets, certain identifiable intangible assets and goodwill related to these assets for impairment. For assets to be held and used, including acquired intangibles, the Company initiates a review whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of a long-lived asset may not be recoverable and annually for goodwill and other intangible assets not subject to amortization. Recoverability of an asset is measured by comparison of its carrying value to the future undiscounted cash flows that the asset is expected to generate. Any impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the projected discounted future operating cash flows. Assets to be disposed of and for which management has committed a plan to dispose of the assets, whether through sale or abandonment, are reported at the lower of carrying value or fair value less costs to sell.
Restricted Cash
Restricted cash represents deposits with a bank to secure standby letters of credit established for the benefit of a customer of Vsource Asia which expire under their terms on October 31, 2005 (see Note 11). Management is in active discussions with Vsource Asia to arrange for the replacement of the Companys deposit to secure these standby letters of credit. Once this is done, or the letters of credit expire pursuant to their terms, the cash will no longer be restricted. There is no assurance that this replacement will be concluded prior to the maturity of the standby letters of credit, however.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery or performance has occurred, the sales price is fixed or determinable and collectability is probable or reasonably assured.
Income Taxes
The asset and liability approach is used to account for income taxes by recognizing deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the carrying amounts and the tax bases of assets and liabilities. The Company records a valuation allowance to reduce the deferred tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized.
Other Comprehensive Income (Loss)
Other comprehensive income (loss) refers to revenues, expenses, gains and losses that under generally accepted accounting principles in the United States are included in comprehensive income (loss) but are excluded from net income (loss), as these amounts are recorded directly as an adjustment to shareholders equity, net of tax. The Companys other comprehensive income (loss) is composed of unrealized gains and losses on foreign currency translation adjustments.
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company applies Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25 (APB 25), Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees and related Interpretations in accounting for its stock-based compensation plans. Accordingly, the Company records expense for employee stock compensation plans equal to the excess of the market price of the underlying Vsource shares at the date of grant over the exercise price of the stock-related award, if any (known as the intrinsic value). The intrinsic value of the stock-based compensation issued to employees as of the date of grant is amortized on a straight-line basis to compensation expense over the vesting period. In addition, no compensation expense is recorded for purchases under the Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the Purchase Plan) in accordance with APB Opinion No. 25. This plan is described in Note 13.
26
VSOURCE, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Earnings Per Share
Basic earnings/(loss) per share is computed by dividing net income/(loss) by the weighted average shares of common stock outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average shares of common stock and potential common shares outstanding during the year. Potential common shares outstanding consist of dilutive shares issuable upon the conversion of Preferred Stock to common stock as computed using the if-converted method and the exercise of outstanding options and warrants to purchase common stock, computed using the treasury stock method.
Segment Data
The Company reports segment data based on the management approach which designates the internal reporting that is used by the Company for making operating decisions and assessing performance as the source of the Companys reportable operating segments.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2004, the FASB issued a revised SFAS No. 123R, Share-Based Payment, which replaces SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation and supersedes APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees. This Statement establishes standards for the accounting for transactions in which an entity exchanges its equity instruments for goods or services, and addresses transactions in which an entity incurs liabilities in exchange for goods or services that are based on the fair value of the entitys equity instruments or that may be settled by the issuance of those equity instruments. The focus is on accounting for transactions in which an entity obtains employee services in share-based payment transactions. The Statement also eliminates the use of the intrinsic value method of accounting, as discussed in Opinion 25 and was provided in Statement 123 as an alternative to valuation. Under Opinion 25, issuing stock options to employees generally resulted in recognition of no compensation cost. This Statement requires entities to recognize the cost of employee services received in exchange for awards of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value of those awards, with limited exceptions. The original effective date was interim or annual reporting periods beginning after June 15, 2005, but subsequently the SEC has converted this to be only applicable to annual periods beginning after this date. The Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS No. 123R to have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.
3. | Discontinued Operations |
On March 23, 2004, the Company completed the sale to Symphony House and other investors of 38.8% of the issued and outstanding share capital of Vsource Asia Berhad, formerly known as Vsource Malaysia, (Vsource Asia) its formerly wholly-owned Malaysian subsidiary, for total consideration of approximately $9.5 million. The company recorded income of $7.6 million net of taxes, in connection with this transaction. On November 22¸ 2004, the Company contributed its remaining 61.2% ownership interest in Vsource Asia in exchange for the cancellation of 92.8% of the Series 1-A Preferred Stock, 98.8% of the Series 2-A Preferred Stock and 100% of the Series 4-A Preferred Stock and for cash of $81,938 .The Company recorded a gain of $14 million net of taxes, in connection with the disposal of the remaining 61.2% of Vsource Asia.
During the year ended January 31, 2005 , Vsource Asia generated approximately 96% of the Companys combined revenues, therefore, as a result of the above transactions the company no longer has any active business operations. The operating results of Vsource Asia, including the gain on disposal, have been classified as discontinued operations for all periods presented.
In July 2004, the Company completed the sale of its human capital management solutions business, Vsource Texas for consideration of $46,000 in the form of a promissory note which was fully repaid on March 3, 2005. The Company recorded a loss of $0.2 million, net of taxes, in connection with this transaction. The operating results of the human capital management solutions business, including the loss on disposal, have been classified as discontinued operations for all periods presented. The net operating results of the human capital management solutions business were previously reported in the human capital management solutions segment.

The credit of $34.4 million in 2005 arose from the exchange of Series 1-A Preferred, Series 2-A Preferred and Series 4-A Preferred for common stock of Asia Holding Co. in connection with the Exchange Offer. The credit represented the excess of the carrying value of these securities, including the amount previously recognized in additional paid in capital for the beneficial conversion feature associated with these securities, over the fair value of the common stock of Asia Holding Co. issued for the exchange.
The credit of $9.2 million in 2003 arose from the exchange of Series 2-A Preferred and Series B and Series B-1 warrants for Series 4-A Preferred Stock. The credit represents the excess of the carrying value over the fair value of the Series 4-A Preferred issued for the exchange.
$12.2 million, $11.9 million and $2.7 million was recorded in 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively as a deemed dividend to preferred shareholders on the Series 4-A Preferred, representing the amortization of the discount on the original issue of this stock for both attached warrants and beneficial conversion features.

8. | Receivable from Related Party |
The Company has amounts owed to it by Vsource Asia of $0.956 million ($1.739 million less estimated discount of $0.783 million). These amounts relate to legacy inter-company obligations when Vsource Asia was a subsidiary of the Company, prior to the completion of the Exchange Offer in November 2004. Vsource Asia is a related party as it is majority owned by Symphony House who is also a major shareholder of the Company. The Company is in discussions with Vsource Asia and its parent Symphony House to finalize payment arrangements in respect of this obligation, and as part of these discussions, the Company believes it may need to discount the obligation and has stated the obligation at the managements best estimate of the amount of the receivable that will ultimately be realized. A delay or default in payments by Vsource Asia of this obligation would have a material adverse effect on the Companys financial condition.
9. | Private Placement and exchange of convertible notes in 2003 |
On October 25, 2002, the Company completed a private placement of preferred stock and warrants for $7.5 million in cash and caused certain holders of its other preferred securities and warrants (including notes, in the principal amount of approximately $7.4 million that were scheduled to mature on June 30, 2003, exchangeable into preferred securities), to exchange their preferred securities and warrants for a new class of preferred stock, Series 4-A Preferred. In connection with and as a precondition to the private placement, the Company was obligated to offer all of the eligible remaining holders of its preferred securities and warrants an opportunity to exchange their preferred securities and warrants for the new class of Series 4-A Preferred. This exchange offer commenced on November 21, 2002 and concluded on January 6, 2003, with $117,106 in principal amount of exchangeable notes and preferred stock and warrants beings exchanged for the new class of Series 4-A Preferred.
The issuance of Series 4-A Preferred, pursuant to the private placement and the exchange (described above) gave rise to a beneficial conversion feature (BCF) as such preferred stock could be converted into common stock at an amount below its market price. (The Company accounts for such BCF under the recognition and measurement principles of Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) 98-5, Accounting for Convertible Securities with Beneficial Conversion Features or Contingently Adjustable Conversion Ratios to Certain Convertible Instruments and EITF 00-27 Application of EITF Issue 98-5). An amount of $7.4 million was recorded to additional paid-in capital for the preferred stocks and warrants issued from the private placement.
Additionally, the preferred securities, the Series B Notes and the Series B-1 Notes and warrants that were exchanged for Series 4-A Preferred or redeemed for cash, were initially issued with BCF. As required by EITF 98-5 and EITF 00-27, the Company allocated a portion of the reacquisition price for the repurchase of the BCF. The portion of the reacquisition price to be allocated is measured as the intrinsic value of the BCF at the original issuance date for preferred securities and warrants and at the extinguishment date for notes. The excess of the carrying value of the notes and preferred securities and warrants over the fair value of the Series 4-A Preferred issued in the exchange, is considered as loss on extinguishment of debt and deemed dividend respectively.

Stock Option Plans
In November 2001, the Companys 2001 Stock Option/Stock Issuance Plan (the 2001 Plan) was adopted by the stockholders of the Company. The 2001 Plan allows for the issuance of incentive stock options, non-statutory stock options and shares of common stock for either the immediate purchase of shares or as a bonus for services rendered, up to a maximum number of shares of the Companys common stock equal to 20% of the total shares of common stock outstanding at the time the calculation is made, including, on an as-converted basis, all convertible preferred stock, convertible debt securities, warrants, options and other convertible securities that are exercisable (but in the case of incentive stock option, no more than 20,000,000 shares of common stock). Options are generally granted for a term of ten years and generally vest over periods ranging from one to three years. The Company has granted various non-qualified stock options to key executives, management and other employees at exercise prices equal to or below the market price at the date of grant.
In July 2000, the Company approved a stock option plan (2000 Plan). The 2000 Plan authorizes the grant of Incentive Stock Options and Non-statutory Stock Options covering an aggregate of 39,750 shares of the Companys common stock (subject to limitations of applicable laws, and adjustment in the event of stock dividends, stock splits, reverse stock splits and certain other corporate events). The 2000 Plan expires on July 6, 2010, unless it is terminated earlier or suspended by the board. The Plan is not subject to any provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security act of 1974. The Company does not intend to issue any further options under the 2000 Plan.

On February 22, 2005, an aggregate of 330,550 shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of options held by employees of the Companys former operating subsidiary, Vsource Asia, were cancelled pursuant to the provisions of the 2001 Plan.

Employee Stock Purchase Plan
The Company received minimal tax benefits on the exercise of non-qualified stock options during 2005.
In November 2001, the shareholders of the Company approved the Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the Purchase Plan), which provides (after adjustment to reflect the Companys November 20, 2002 reverse stock split) for the issuance of a maximum of 350,000 shares of common stock. Eligible employees can have up to 10% of their earnings withheld, up to certain maximum limits, to be used to purchase shares of the Companys common stock at certain plan-defined dates. The price of common stock purchased under the Purchase Plan is equal to 85% of the lower of the fair market value of the common stock on the commencement date and specified purchase date of each six-month offering period. During the year ended January 31, 2004, a total of 22,940 shares of common stock were purchased by plan participants at a purchase price of $1.48 (85% of $1.75 closing price at end of plan period). The Company has discontinued offering the Purchase Plan and no shares were issued during the year ended January 31, 2005. The Company does not recognize non-cash stock-based compensation expense related to employee purchase rights under this plan in accordance with APB Opinion No. 25. There are over 330,000 shares of common stock available for future purchases under the Purchase Plan.
14. | 401(k) Plan |
The Company sponsors a 401(k) (401(k) Plan) employee savings plan under which eligible U.S. employees may choose to defer a portion of their eligible compensation on a pre-tax basis, subject to certain IRS limitations. The 401(k) Plan qualifies under Section 401(k) of the United States Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. Participants may elect to defer 1% to 14% of their eligible compensation. For the year ended January 31, 2005, the maximum contribution by each participant was subject to the federal law limitation of $14,000 ($18,000, in the case of persons over 50 years of age). A participants maximum deferral percentage and/or dollar amount may also be limited by other applicable IRS limitations. Matching contributions are made by the Company in an amount equal to 100% of the participants contribution up to a maximum of 4% of such participants annual eligible compensation, subject to certain regulatory and plan limitations. Contributions are subjected to tax only upon withdrawal from the 401(k) Plan and subject to penalties under certain circumstances. Participant contributions are 100% vested immediately and are not subject to forfeiture. The employer matching contributions are vested at 100%. Matching contributions were not material for 2005.

The valuation allowance at January 31, 2005, principally applies to state, local and foreign tax loss carryforwards that, in the opinion of the management, are more likely than not to expire before the company can use them.
As of January 31, 2005, the Company had net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $33.8 million for both U.S. federal and state tax, and $0.8 million for foreign tax, available to offset future regular, alternative minimum and foreign taxation income, if any. Change of ownership of more than 50% occurred on June 22, 2001, thus according to applicable U.S. tax laws, losses that occurred before June 22, 2001 are limited to $323,700 per year for up to 15 to 20 years, totaling approximately $6.5 million, with respect to the amounts that can be carried forward. The loss carryovers will expire between 2011 and 2021. Any further changes in the ownership of the Company may lead to further restrictions in respect of the availability and use of these tax losses. Foreign operating loss carryforwards are available indefinitely.
16. | Segment Data |
As a result of the Exchange Offer, the Company no longer has an ownership interest in Vsource Asia or in Asia Holding Co, and therefore no longer provides BPO services and the Company consists of one segment. The Companys revenue is generated from the United States and its long-lived assets are mainly located in the United States. In the year ended January 31, 2005, Vsource Asia generated approximately 96% of the Company combined revenues and, therefore, as a result of the Exchange Offer, the Company no longer has any active business operations. Please see Note 3 for details of the discontinued operations.

Vsource Asia and Symphony House Relationships
Transactions and balances with Vsource Asia
Symphony House is the major owner of Vsource Asia and owns 77.4% of Vsource Asias voting securities through direct and indirect ownership.
Symphony House currently beneficially owns 648,860 shares of common stock, representing 31.3% of outstanding common stock as of March 31, 2005, and warrants that became exercisable on April 1, 2005 and entitle Symphony House to acquire an additional 1,000,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price per share of $0.01. If Symphony House exercises these warrants, it would own 1,648,860 shares of common stock, which would represent 53.6% of our common stock, when measured as of March 31, 2005.
Vsource Asia provides the Company with infrastructure management and administrative services, including accounting support, for a monthly fee of $5,000. The Company is in the process of entering into a written agreement with Vsource Asia formalizing this arrangement.
The Company has amounts owed to it by Vsource Asia of $0.956 million ($1.739 million less estimated discount of $0.783 million).

Board Meetings and Committees
The Board of Directors held six meetings during the fiscal year ended January 31, 2005 (Fiscal 2005). On two other occasions, the Board of Directors took actions through unanimous written consents. Each director nominee attended at least 75 percent of the aggregate of all meetings of the Board of Directors and the committees of the Board of Directors on which he was a member, if any, held during Fiscal 2005.
At the beginning of Fiscal 2005, our Board of Directors was comprised of the following five members: Phillip Kelly, Stephen Stonefield, Luc Villette and our two of our current directors, Mr. Smith and Dr. Schwartz. Messrs. Kelly and Villette resigned from the Board of Directors in December 2004 and the Board of Directors has not filled the vacancies created by their resignations. Mr. Stonefield resigned from the Board of Directors in April 2005 and the Board filled his vacancy with the appointment of Richardson E. Sells.
The Special Committee established by the Board of Directors to review the Exchange Offer and related transactions held two meetings during Fiscal 2005. Dr. Schwartz and Mr. Stonefield were the members of the Special Committee.
The Audit Committee, which held four meetings during Fiscal 2005, assists the Boards oversight of our financial statements and compliance with legal and regulatory requirements and the qualifications and performance of our independent auditor. The Audit Committee currently has two members, Dr. Schwartz and Mr. Sells. Each of Dr. Schwartz and Mr. Sells are independent directors as defined in Rule 4200(a)(14) of the National Association of Securities Dealers listing standards, but neither of Dr. Schwartz or Mr. Sells is considered a financial expert as such term is currently defined under the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission.
We do not have a compensation committee or a committee performing the functions of a compensation committee. We also do not have a nominating committee or a committee performing the functions of a nominating committee. Our full Board of Directors fulfills the roles of these committees. It is the position of our Board of Directors that it is appropriate for us not to have separate compensation and nominating committees in light of the size of the Company and its present lack of active operations. Moreover, at present we are not required to have a nominating committee until such time as we are listed on a stock exchange in which event we would have to abide by the applicable rules and regulations of such exchange. If we do create either a compensation or a nominating committee prior to our 2005 annual meeting, our proxy statement for our 2005 annual meeting will provide information regarding this committee, including functions held by the committee and the names of directors who are members.
Stockholder Communications with the Board of Directors
Our stockholders may communicate with the members of our Board of Directors by writing directly to the Board of Directors or specified individual directors to:
Secretary
Vsource, Inc.
7855 Ivanhoe Avenue
Suite 200
La Jolla, California 92037
Our Secretary will deliver stockholder communications to the specified individual director, if so addressed, or to one of our directors who can address the matter.
Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance
Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 requires our directors and officers, and persons who beneficially own more than ten percent of our common stock, to file with the SEC reports of beneficial ownership on Form 3 and changes in beneficial ownership of our common stock and other equity securities on Form 4 or Form 5. SEC regulations require all officers, directors and greater than ten-percent stockholders to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file.
42
Based solely on the review of the copies of the reports furnished to us or written representations that no other reports were required, we believe that all Section 16(a) filing requirements applicable to our officers, directors and greater than ten-percent stockholders with respect to the fiscal year ended January 31, 2005, were complied with in a timely fashion.
ITEM 11. EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
The following summary compensation table sets forth information regarding the compensation for the last three completed fiscal years of (a) our Chief Executive Officer, (b) the one executive officer other than the Chief Executive Officer who was serving as executive officers as of January 31, 2005, and whose total annual salary and bonus for the most recent fiscal year exceeded $100,000, and (c) the three other executive officers who would have been among the highest paid executive officers if they had been an executive officer as of January 31, 2005.

(2) | The appreciation rates stated are arbitrarily assumed and may or may not reflect actual appreciation in the stock price over the life of the option. Regardless of any theoretical value that may be placed on a stock option, no increase in its value will occur without an increase in the value of the underlying shares. Whether such an increase will be realized will depend not only on the efforts of the recipient of the option, but also upon conditions in our industry and market area, competition and economic conditions, over which the optionee may have little or no control. Since the per-share exercise price of the options is greater than the assumed future stock price at the assumed appreciation rates, the potential realizable value of the options is $0.00. |
(3) | Based on an aggregate of 312,050 options granted to directors and employees of Vsource in Fiscal 2005, including the executive officers listed in the Summary Compensation Table above. |
(4) | On February 5, 2004, Mr. Higham was granted options to purchase 12,500 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $2.00 per share. As a result of the Exchange Offer, all of these options are fully vested and exercisable as of November 22, 2004. The fair market value of our common stock on the grant date was $0.56 per share. |
(5) | On February 5, 2004, Mr. Gemassmer was granted options to purchase 11,250 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $2.00 per share. As a result of the Exchange Offer, all of these options are fully vested and exercisable as of November 22, 2004. The fair market value of our common stock on the grant date was $0.56 per share. As noted, Mr. Gemassmer left Vsource in January 2005 and under the terms of our option plan all of his options, except for options to purchase 1,040 shares of common stock at a per share price of $0.20, were cancelled as of the end of April 2005. |
Fiscal Year-End Option/SAR Values
The following table sets forth certain information with respect to each of the executive officers listed in the Summary Compensation Table above concerning unexercised options to purchase common stock held as of the end of the fiscal year ended January 31, 2005. On November 22, 2004, Messrs. Kelly and Smith exercised options to purchase 36,162 and 11,463 shares of common stock, respectively, at an exercise price of $0.20 per share or a total exercise price of $7,323.40 for Mr. Kelly and $2,292.60 for Mr. Smith, and subsequently sold these shares of common stock at a per share price of $0.50 to Symphony House as part of Symphony Houses agreement to purchase shares of Vsource common stock and warrants from certain preferred stockholders. Messrs. Kelly and Smith then cancelled all other options held by them. John G Cantillon, our former Chief Operating Officer, also cancelled all of his options with effect from November 22, 2004 in connection with the Exchange Offer.
Under the terms of our option plan and effective upon the completion of the Exchange Offer on November 22, 2004, each of the options held by Messrs. Gemassmer and Higham became fully vested and exercisable.

Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation
As noted previously, we do not have a Compensation Committee and as its duties were carried out by the full Board of Directors. We have arrangements to compensate our directors and officers. These arrangements are described under Certain Transactions in Item 13 below.
REPORT OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS ON EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
During Fiscal 2005, the Board of Directors set the salaries and other compensation of our executive officers and certain other key employees and administered our stock option and bonus plans.
General Compensation Policy
For Fiscal 2005, the Board of Directors determined the base salary for executive officers, other than for the Chief Executive Officer, based largely on recommendations by our Chief Executive Officer. The goal of the Board of Directors compensation policy during the last fiscal year was to retain, motivate and reward management through our compensation policies and awards. Generally, compensation of executive officers is designed to be competitive, to reward exceptional performance and to align the interest of executive officers with the interests of stockholders. The Board of Directors has approved compensation policies consistent with these goals and has authorized the Compensation Committee to supervise the implementation of these policies.
The compensation program for executives consists of three basic elements:
| a base salary; |
| performance-based bonuses; and |
| periodic grants of stock options. |
46
Base Salary. Base salary is generally set within the ranges of salaries of executive officers with comparable qualifications, experience and responsibilities at other companies of similar size, complexity and profitability taking into account the position involved and the level of the executives experience. In addition, consideration is given to other factors, including an officers contribution to Vsource as a whole.
Bonus Compensation. The Board of Directors believes that cash bonuses are an important part of executive officers compensation. The actual amount to be awarded to an executive officer is contingent upon our meeting specified corporate goals and the officer meeting specified individual goals, with corporate performance having a significantly heavier weighting in the calculation of an executive officers bonus.
Long Term Incentives. Currently, stock options are our primary long-term incentive vehicle. Substantially all of our employees are eligible for stock option awards on an annual basis. Whether an award is made, and the size of the award, is based on position, responsibilities and corporate and individual performance. During Fiscal 2005, we granted options to purchase 11,250 and 12,500 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $2.00 per share to Mr. Gemassmer and Mr. Higham, respectively. Apart from these grants, during Fiscal 2005 we did not grant any others options to the named executive officers and directors to purchase shares of our common stock.
The Board of Directors has the authority to review annually the annual and long-term compensation of all of our executives and employees to assure that all such executives and employees continue to be properly motivated to serve the interests of our stockholders.
Federal tax law establishes certain requirements in order for compensation exceeding $1 million earned by certain executives to be deductible. Because no executive officer had total compensation exceeding $1 million in the previous fiscal year, the Board of Directors has not found it necessary to address the issues related to these requirements.
Executive Compensation for the Fiscal Year Ended January 31, 2005
Mr. Smith has served as our Chief Executive Officer since December 2004. For Fiscal 2005, Mr. Smith received a salary of $294,872. For Fiscal 2005, Mr. Smith did not receive a bonus. In addition during Fiscal 2005, Mr. Smith received other compensation in the aggregate amount of $99,348. The Board of Directors believes that Mr. Smiths salary and other compensation, as well as the salaries of our one other current executive officer and the stock option grants granted to current executive officers for Fiscal 2005, were determined in a manner generally consistent with the factors described above.

ITEM 13. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS
Compensation of Directors
Mr. Smith is the only director also serving as a full-time employee of the Company. He receives no additional compensation for services as a director. With respect to non-employee, independent directors, our philosophy is to provide competitive compensation necessary to attract and retain qualified non-employee, independent directors. In April 2005, the Board of Directors approved the payment of an annual retainer of $28,000, paid on a quarterly basis, to each non-employee, independent director starting April 2005.
50
Compensation of Officers Executive Employment Agreements
We have entered into employment agreements with each of Messrs. Smith, Higham, Kelly, Cantillon and Gemassmer. Messrs. Kelly, Cantillon and Gemassmer are no longer Vsource employees.
Mr. Smith is party to parallel employment agreements with two of our subsidiaries, each dated as of April 1, 2005. Under these agreements, effective April 1, 2005, Mr. Smith receives in the aggregate a base salary of $325,000 per year, and is eligible for a target incentive bonus equal to 50% of the aggregate base salary. This bonus is payable upon achievement of certain performance targets set by the Board of Directors. Under the agreements, Mr. Smith may elect to be reimbursed by Vsource for housing expenses up to $12,000 per month ($144,000 per year), provided, any such housing expenses will be deducted from Mr. Smiths salary if Mr. Smith makes this election. Mr. Smith is obligated to devote the majority of his business time, attention, skill, and efforts to the faithful performance of his duties under his employment agreements. Under these agreements, Vsource acknowledges, among other things, that Mr. Smith (i) serves as a director of Vsource Asia Berhad, Vsources former operating subsidiary in which Vsource no longer has an ownership interest, and its subsidiaries, and (ii) intends to participate in the formation of one or more investment programs and expects to serve as a director and/or general partner of such program(s) simultaneous with the performance of his duties under the agreements. Vsource may immediately terminate Mr. Smiths employment agreements with cause upon the happening of certain specified events. The Board of Director may, at its discretion, terminate Mr. Smiths employment upon written notice without cause; provided, however, in the event Mr. Smith is terminated without cause Vsource is obligated to pay Mr. Smith a lump sum payment equal to 50% of his annual salary, which payment is due no later than thirty days following termination. Mr. Smith may terminate his employment agreement upon at least thirty days written notice to Vsource.
Mr. Higham is party to an employment agreement with one of our subsidiaries, dated as of September 1, 2003. Under this agreement, Mr. Higham receives a base salary of $164,000 per year, and is eligible for a target incentive bonus equal to 35% of the base salary. This bonus is payable upon achievement of certain performance targets set by the Board of Directors. Vsource may immediately terminate Mr. Highams employment agreements with cause upon the happening of certain specified events. The Board of Directors may, at its discretion, terminate Mr. Highams employment upon written notice without cause; provided, however, in the event Mr. Higham is terminated without cause Vsource is obligated to pay Mr. Higham a lump sum payment equal to one-sixth of his annual base salary, which payment is due no later than thirty days following termination, and is obligated to also pay for Mr. Highams Vsource-provided medical benefits for the two months after his termination. Mr. Higham may terminate his employment agreement upon at least thirty days written notice to Vsource.
Mr. Kelly, who left Vsource in December 2004, was party to an employment agreement with one of our subsidiaries, dated as of January 1, 2003. Under this agreement, Mr. Kelly received a base salary of $350,400 and his target incentive bonus was 100% of his base salary. This bonus was payable upon achievement of certain targets set by the Compensation Committee. On December 6, 2004, Mr. Kelly resigned as Chief Executive Officer and under the terms of his employment agreement we paid Mr. Kelly a termination payment of $134,588, consisting of three months salary totaling $87,600 and accrued vacation in the amount of $46,988. The termination payment was made in two parts, the first part consisting of Mr. Kellys December monthly salary of $29,200 was paid as part of our regular December payroll and the second part consisting of the remaining termination payment of $105,388 was paid on January 3, 2005.
As a result of the completion of the Exchange Offer on November 22, 2004, Mr. Cantillon is no longer an employee of Vsource as of such date. Previously, Mr. Cantillon was party to parallel employment agreements with two of our subsidiaries, each dated January 1, 2003. Under side letters to these agreements, effective September 1, 2003, Mr. Cantillon received an aggregate base salary of $205,000 per year and was eligible for a target incentive bonus equal to 100% of the aggregate base salary.

Mr. Gemassmer resigned from the Company in January 2005 and was previously party to an employment agreement with one of our subsidiaries, dated May 8, 2001. Under this agreement, Mr. Gemassmer received a base salary of $156,201 per year, and was eligible for sales commissions under the Companys sales commission plan for customer outsourcing solutions. Upon Mr. Gemassmer departure, in January 2005 in addition to salary owed to Mr. Gemassmer we paid him a total of approximately $18,156, consisting of $6,370 in accrued vacation pay and $11,786 in earned sales commission.

Vsource Asia Board of Directors
Dennis Smith, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Vsource, serves as a director of Vsource Asia, which company is majority owned by Symphony House, and receives no compensation for such services. As a result of exchanging his Vsource Series 4-A Preferred Stock in the Exchange Offer, Mr. Smith also holds a minority ownership interest in Asia Holding Co. that owns a majority of the shares of Vsource Asia and Symphony House is the majority shareholder of Asia Holding Co.
Vsource Asia Relationship and Symphony House
Vsource Asia provides the Company with infrastructure management and administrative services, including accounting support for a monthly fee of $5,000. Presently, these services are provided under an oral understanding and we are in the process of entering into a written agreement with Vsource Asia formalizing this arrangement.
At January 31, 2005, we had amounts owed to us from Vsource Asia totaling $1.739 million. These amounts related to legacy inter-company obligations in place prior to the completion of the Exchange Offer. We are in discussions with Vsource Asia to memorialize this obligation with a written promissory note or other agreement evidencing a deferred payment plan. We may also consider selling or assigning the obligation to a third party at a purchase price to be mutually agreed, which price may represent a discount to the $1.739 million owed. Because of the uncertainty of the full repayment of the Vsource Asia obligation, we have made an estimated discount of $0.783 million for it.
Symphony House is the majority owner of Vsource Asia and owns 77.4% of Vsource Asias voting securities through direct and indirect ownership. Symphony House currently beneficially owns 648,860 shares of our common stock, representing 31.3% of our outstanding common stock as of March 31, 2005, and pursuant to an outstanding warrant it purchased as part of the Symphony Purchase Agreement from a former preferred stockholder. This warrant became exercisable on April 1, 2005 and entitles Symphony to acquire an additional 1,000,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price per share of $0.01. Therefore, assuming it exercises its warrant, Symphony House would own 1,648,860 shares of common stock, which would represent 53.6% of our common stock, when measured at March 31, 2005.
Stonefield Consulting Agreement
Stephen Stonefield, a former member of Vsources Board of Directors, is party to a consulting agreement dated as of April 1, 2005, with one of Vsources subsidiaries pursuant to which Mr. Stonefield is paid a monthly fee of $10,000 and receives medical benefits in return for certain strategic consulting services. This consulting agreement is terminable by either party upon thirty days written notice.
