EDGEWATER TECHNOLOGY, INC.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

1. ORGANIZATION:

Edgewater Technology, Inc. (“Edgewater” or the “Company”) is a consulting firm that brings a synergistic blend of specialty services in the areas of business advisory, analytics, data management, and technology to our client base. The Company is headquartered in Wakefield, Massachusetts.

In this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (the “Form 10-Q”), we use the terms “Edgewater,” “Edgewater Technology,” “we,” “our Company,” “the Company,” “our” and “us” to refer to Edgewater Technology, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, which are described in our 2010 Annual Report on Form 10-K, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 31, 2011 (the “2010 Form 10-K”).

 

2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION:

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by Edgewater pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC regarding interim financial reporting. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been omitted pursuant to those rules and regulations, although we believe that the disclosures made are adequate to ensure the information presented is not misleading.

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments (which were of a normal, recurring nature) that, in the opinion of management, are necessary to present fairly our financial position, results of operations and cash flows as of and for the interim periods presented. All intercompany transactions have been eliminated in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto included in our 2010 Form 10-K.

The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for any future period or the full fiscal year. Our revenue and earnings may fluctuate from quarter-to-quarter based on factors within and outside our control, including variability in demand for information technology professional services, the length of the sales cycle associated with our service offerings, the number, size and scope of our projects and the efficiency with which we utilize our employees. Substantially all of our revenue is generated within North America.

Comprehensive income (loss) consists of periodic currency translation adjustments.

 

3. SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION:

Stock-based compensation expense under all of the Company’s share-based plans was $361 thousand and $609 thousand for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2011, respectively. Stock-based compensation expense under all of the Company’s share-based plans was $282 thousand and $501 thousand for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2010, respectively.

Cash received from ESPP exercises under all share-based payment arrangements was $104 thousand and $233 thousand during the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2011, respectively. Cash received from stock option and ESPP exercises under all share-based payment arrangements was $90 thousand and $206 thousand during the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2010, respectively. There were no stock option exercises during the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2011. During the six month period ended June 30, 2010 the Company recognized a tax deficiency of $(1) thousand related to stock option exercises.

EDGEWATER TECHNOLOGY, INC.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

3. SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION: (Continued)

 

As of June 30, 2011, unrecognized compensation expense, net of estimated forfeitures, related to the unvested portion of all share-based compensation arrangements was approximately $1.9 million and is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.73 years.

The Company intends to use previously purchased treasury shares for all shares issued for options, restricted share awards and ESPP purchases. Shares may also be issued from unissued share reserves.

 

4. INCOME TAXES:

The Company recorded a tax expense of $302 thousand and $352 thousand for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2011, respectively. The Company recorded a tax benefit of ($51) thousand and ($467) thousand during the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2010, respectively. The reported tax expense for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2011 is based upon an effective tax rate of 33.3%, related to our combined federal and state income tax rates, foreign income tax provisions and the recognition of U.S. deferred tax liabilities for differences between the book and tax basis of goodwill. The reported tax benefit for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2010 is based upon an effective tax rate of 39.0%, related to our combined federal and state income taxes.

We have deferred tax assets that have arisen primarily as a result of timing differences, net operating loss carryforwards and tax credits. Our ability to realize a deferred tax asset is based on our ability to generate sufficient future taxable income within the applicable carryforward period and subject to any applicable limitations. We assess, on a routine periodic basis, the estimated future realizability of the gross carrying value of our deferred tax assets on a more likely than not basis. Our periodic assessments take into consideration both positive evidence (future profitability projections for example) and negative evidence (recent and historical financial performance for example) as it relates to evaluating the future recoverability of our deferred tax assets.

We have a full valuation allowance against our deferred tax assets at June 30, 2011. The establishment of a full valuation allowance against the gross carrying value of our deferred tax assets does not prohibit or limit the Company’s ability to realize a tax benefit in future periods. All existing deferred tax assets, net operating loss carryforwards and credits will be available, subject to possible statutory limitations, to reduce certain future federal and state income tax obligations.

 

5. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT:

We utilize the following valuation hierarchy for disclosure of the inputs to valuation used to measure fair value. This hierarchy prioritizes the inputs into three broad levels as follows:

 

   

Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

 

   

Level 2 inputs are quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets or inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly through market corroboration, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument.

 

   

Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs based on our own assumptions used to measure assets and liabilities at fair value.

A financial asset or liability’s classification within the hierarchy is determined based upon the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

As of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the Company’s only financial assets and liabilities required to be measured on a recurring basis were its money market investments and the accrued contingent earnout consideration payable in connection with Company’s acquisitions of Fullscope and Meridian Consulting International, which are more fully described in Note 7.

5. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT: (Continued)

 

As of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the fair values of our other financial instruments, which include cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable, approximate the carrying amounts of the respective asset and/or liability due to the short-term nature of these financial instruments.

 

6. GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS:

There has been no change in the Company’s recorded goodwill balance during the three- or six-month periods ended June, 30, 2011.

We amortize our intangible assets that have finite lives using either the straight-line method or based on estimated future cash flows to approximate the pattern in which the economic benefit of the asset will be utilized. Amortization expense was $486 thousand and $975 thousand during the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2011, respectively. Amortization expense was $784 thousand and $1.6 million during the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2010, respectively. This amortization expense relates to certain non-competition covenants, trade names and customer lists, which expire between 2011 and 2016.

The Company recorded amortization from capitalized internally developed software (reported as part of our software expense) of $13 thousand during the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2011. There was no amortization of capitalized internally developed software during the three- or six-month periods ended June 30, 2010.

Estimated annual amortization expense for the current year and the following four years ending December 31, is as follows:

7. BUSINESS COMBINATIONS:

Acquisition of Meridian Consulting International: On May 17, 2010, the Company acquired substantially all of the assets and liabilities of Meridian, pursuant to the terms of an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Meridian Acquisition”). Headquartered in Chicago, Illinois, Meridian is a specialty solution provider of Oracle’s Hyperion Strategic Finance (“HSF”) product which encompasses strategic planning and forecasting, scenario modeling and mergers and acquisitions analysis. Meridian has delivered its services to organizations across various vertical markets including Energy, Higher Education, Retail and Healthcare. The acquisition of Meridian continues the investment in our Enterprise Performance Management (“EPM”) - related service offerings and aligns with our product-centric service offering model. The addition of Meridian’s HSF capabilities strategically positions Edgewater as one of the only domestic companies with the capability to provide the full suite of Oracle’s EPM service offerings.

In connection with the Meridian Acquisition, the Company entered into an earnout agreement under which the former Meridian stockholders are eligible to receive additional contingent consideration. Contingent earnout consideration to be paid, if any, to the former Meridian stockholders will be based upon the achievement of certain performance measures over three consecutive twelve-month earnout periods, concluding on May 17, 2013. The maximum amount of contingent earnout consideration that the former stockholders of Meridian can earn is capped at $2.7 million.

7. BUSINESS COMBINATIONS: (Continued)

 

In May 2011, Meridian completed its first twelve-month earnout period, during which the required performance measurements were not achieved. Accordingly, the former Meridian stockholders are not eligible to receive additional contingent consideration related to the first earnout period. The Company, as of June 30, 2011, has accrued $1.4 million in potential future contingent earnout consideration payable to the former Meridian stockholders related to the completion of the second and third twelve-month earnout periods. As of June 30, 2011, the maximum amount of contingent earnout consideration that the former stockholders of Meridian can earn during the final two earnout periods is capped at $1.8 million.

The Company routinely examines actual results in comparison to financial metrics utilized in the earnout calculation and assesses the carrying value of the contingent earnout consideration. During the six-month period ended June 30, 2011, we reversed $50 thousand of accrued contingent earnout consideration (reported as a part of our selling, general and administrative expenses) associated with the projected completion of the first earnout period, as it was determined that the threshold would not be achieved. The Company assessed the remaining two earnout periods and concluded that likelihood of achievement remains probable, and therefore, recognized $57 thousand and $64 thousand of expense (reported as a part of our selling, general and administrative expenses) related to the current fair value assessment of the potential contingent earnout consideration payable to Meridian’s former stockholders during the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2011, respectively.

The following table sets forth supplemental unaudited pro forma financial information that assumes the acquisition of Meridian was completed at the beginning of 2010. The information for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2010 includes the historical results of Edgewater and Meridian. The unaudited pro forma results include estimates and assumptions regarding the amortization of intangible assets recognized as part of the acquisition and income taxes. The pro forma results, as presented, are not necessarily indicative of the results that would have occurred if the acquisition had occurred on the date indicated, or that may result in the future.

Acquisition of Fullscope, Inc.: On December 31, 2009, the Company, pursuant to the terms of an Agreement and Plan of Merger and Reorganization (the “Purchase Agreement”) acquired all of the outstanding stock of Fullscope (the “Fullscope Acquisition”). An earnout agreement was entered into in connection with the Fullscope Acquisition under which the former Fullscope stockholders are eligible to receive additional contingent consideration. Contingent earnout consideration to be paid, if any, to the former Fullscope stockholders is based upon the generation of positive, after-tax income by the Fullscope business process contract, which was determined over an eighteen-month period from the date of acquisition, which concluded on June 30, 2011.

The Company’s balance sheet, as of June 30, 2011, includes an accrual of $2.9 million representing the estimated contingent earnout consideration earned and payable to the former stockholders of Fullscope. The final determination of the contingent consideration amount, as per the terms of the earnout agreement, is subject to review and joint approval by the Company and the former Fullscope stockholders.

7. BUSINESS COMBINATIONS: (Continued)

 

During the three- and six- month periods ended June 30, 2011, the Company recognized $1.4 million and of expense (reported as part of our selling, general and administrative expenses), related to periodic adjustments of the estimated fair value of the contingent consideration payable to Fullscope’s former stockholders. The majority of this expense was recognized by the Company during the second quarter of 2011, during which the Company recognized $2.2 million in royalty revenue, which increased the recorded estimate of contingent earnout consideration earned by the former Fullscope stockholders by $1.4 million.

As of June 30, 2011 the Fullscope earnout period is complete. A description of the timing of payment related to this earnout is included within Note 9.

Share-based awards, inclusive of all grants made under the Company’s Equity Plans, for which either the stock option exercise price, or the fair value of the restricted share award, exceeds the average market price over the period, have an anti-dilutive effect on earnings per share, and accordingly, are excluded from the diluted computations for all periods presented. Had such shares been included, shares for the diluted computation would have increased by approximately 3.3 million and 3.6 million in the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2011, respectively. The diluted computation would have increased by approximately 2.8 million and 2.7 million in the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2010. Options to purchase approximately 71 thousand and 75 thousand shares of common stock that were outstanding during both the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2010, respectively, were not included in the computation of diluted net loss per share due to the reported loss during the respective periods. As of June 30, 2011 and 2010, there were approximately 3.8 million and 4.2 million share-based awards outstanding under the Company’s Equity Plans, respectively.

9. FULLSCOPE EMBEZZLEMENT:

During the second quarter of 2010, the Company discovered embezzlement activities at Fullscope, Inc., one of our wholly-owned subsidiaries, which was acquired by the Company in December 2009 (the “Fullscope Embezzlement Issue”). Based upon the results of forensic accounting procedures, we identified that the embezzlement activities occurred for an extended period prior to our acquisition of Fullscope and also during the first and second quarter of 2010. Additionally, based upon the procedures performed we concluded that the embezzlement activities that occurred during the first and second quarter of 2010 did not have a material impact upon our previously issued financial statements.

We have completed our investigation as it relates to the embezzlement activities that occurred during 2010. In total, we identified approximately $116 thousand of embezzlement during the six-month period ended June 30, 2010.

The Company, as a result of the Fullscope Embezzlement Issue, incurred approximately $51 thousand and $204 thousand in non-routine operating expenses during the three-month periods ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The Company incurred approximately $114 thousand and $262 thousand in non-routine operating expenses during the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The Company has also incurred a sales and use tax liability of $950 thousand in connection with the Embezzlement Issue, which was recorded as selling, general, and administrative expense during the year ended December 31, 2010. The expenses incurred during the respective three- and six month periods of 2011 and 2010 related to the expensing of embezzled receivables and accounting- and legal-related professional service fees.

We have incurred a majority of our embezzlement expenses during fiscal 2010 in connection with our identification and investigation of the embezzlement activity. While embezzlement-related expenses have decreased in the three- and six-month periods of 2011, we anticipate that we may continue to incur additional expenses associated with the Fullscope Embezzlement Issue as we intend to aggressively pursue recovery through all possible avenues, including a claim against the escrow account established in connection with the Fullscope Acquisition and reimbursement under insurance policies. We anticipate that we will be able to recover some, if not all, of the receivable amounts embezzled during 2010, the professional service expenses we have incurred to-date, or will incur in the future, addressing this situation, and any amounts paid to settle any of the identified sales and use tax liability amounts. Amounts recovered, if any, will be recorded during the period in which settlement is determined to be certain.

In connection with the Fullscope Acquisition an escrow account was established with $1.3 million, or 10% of the initial upfront purchase price consideration. Subsequent to that time, the Company transferred an additional $700 thousand in to the escrow account in connection with the release of a pre-acquisition Fullscope escrow account that was established in June 2009 in connection with Fullscope’s sale of Dynamics AX add on software modules to Microsoft. As of June 30, 2011, the Company has recorded contingent earnout consideration, which will be paid in to a second escrow account, of $2.9 million. We currently anticipate that this payment will occur during the fourth quarter of 2011. The escrow accounts, as per the merger agreements, were established to ensure the satisfactory resolution of all potential claims during the earnout period. These amounts will remain unsettled until our claim of recovery for the above matters are resolved.

Factors Influencing Our Results of Operations

Revenue. The Company derives its service revenue from time and materials-based contracts, fixed-price contracts and fixed-fee arrangements. Time and materials-based contracts represented 95.6% and 94.6% of service revenue for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2011, respectively. Time and materials-based contracts represented 93.7% and 93.0% of service revenue for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2010, respectively. Revenue under time and materials contracts is recognized as services are rendered and performed at contractually agreed upon rates. Revenue pursuant to fixed-price contracts is recognized under the proportional performance method of accounting. Fixed-price contracts represented 2.1% and 3.1% of service revenue for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2011, respectively. Fixed-price contracts represented 4.2% and 4.9% of service revenue for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2010, respectively. Revenue under fixed-fee contracts is recognized ratably over the contract period, as outlined within the respective contract. Fixed-fee contracts, which are specific to monthly hosting and support services, represented 2.3% and 2.3% of service revenue during the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2011, respectively. Fixed-fee contracts represented 2.1% and 2.1% of service revenue for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2010.

In connection with our migration to more of a product-based consulting model, we anticipate that software revenue will continue to be a significant portion of our revenues. Software revenue is recognized upon delivery, except in the infrequent situation where the Company provides maintenance services, in which case the related maintenance is recognized ratably over the maintenance period. Software revenue is expected to fluctuate between quarters, dependent on our customers’ demand for such third party off-the-shelf software. Fluctuations in software revenue may have an impact upon our periodic operating performance, including gross margin.

Operating Expenses. The largest portion of our operating expenses consists of cash and non-cash compensation and benefits associated with our project consulting personnel and related expenses. Non-cash compensation includes stock compensation expense arising from restricted stock and option grants to employees. Project personnel expenses also consist of payroll costs and related benefits associated with our professional staff. Other related expenses include travel, subcontracting costs, third-party vendor payments and non-billable expenses associated with the delivery of services to our clients. We consider the relationship between project personnel expenses and service revenue to be an important measure of our operating performance. The relationship between project personnel expenses and service revenue is driven largely by the chargeability of our consultant base, the prices we charge our clients and the non-billable costs associated with securing new client engagements and developing new service offerings. The remainder of our recurring operating expense is composed of expenses associated with the development of our business and the support of our client-serving professionals, such as professional development and recruiting, marketing and sales, and management and administrative support. Professional development and recruiting expenses consist primarily of recruiting and training content development and delivery costs. Marketing and sales expenses consist primarily of the costs associated with the development and maintenance of our marketing materials and programs. Management and administrative support expenses consist primarily of the costs associated with operations including finance, information systems, human resources, facilities (including the rent of office space) and other administrative support for project personnel.

We regularly review our fees for services, professional compensation and overhead costs to ensure that our services and compensation are competitive within the industry, and that our overhead costs are balanced with our revenue levels. In addition, we monitor the progress of client projects with client senior management. We manage the activities of our professionals by closely monitoring engagement schedules and staffing requirements. However, a rapid decline in the demand for the professional services that we provide could result in lower utilization of our professionals than we planned. In addition, because most of our client engagements are terminable by our clients without penalty, an unanticipated termination of a client project could require us to maintain underutilized employees. While professional staff levels must be adjusted to reflect active engagements, we must also maintain a sufficient number of consulting professionals to oversee existing client engagements and to participate in sales activities to secure new client assignments.

Company Performance Measurement Systems and Metrics. The Company’s management monitors and assesses its operating performance by evaluating key metrics and indicators on an ongoing basis. For example, we regularly review performance information related to annualized revenue per billable consultant, periodic consultant utilization rates, gross profit margins, average bill rates and billable employee headcount. Edgewater has also developed internal Enterprise Performance Management systems which aid us in measuring our operating performance and consultant utilization rates. The matching of sales opportunities to available skill sets in our consultant base is one of our greatest challenges and therefore, we monitor consultant utilization closely. These metrics, along with other operating and financial performance metrics, are used in evaluating management’s overall performance. These metrics and indicators are discussed in more detail under “Results for the Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2011, Compared to Results for the Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2010,” included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Non-Routine Professional Services-Related Expenses. During fiscal 2010 and the first half of 2011, we incurred certain non-routine professional service-related expenses associated with our identification of embezzlement activities at Fullscope, Inc., one of our wholly-owned subsidiaries (the “Fullscope Embezzlement Issue”). We have incurred a majority of our embezzlement-related expenses during fiscal 2010 in connection with our identification and investigation of the embezzlement activity.

While embezzlement related expenses have decreased in the three- and six-month periods of 2011, we anticipate that we may continue to incur additional expenses associated with the Fullscope Embezzlement Issue as we intend to aggressively pursue recovery through all possible avenues, including a claim against the escrow account established in connection with the Fullscope Acquisition and reimbursement under insurance policies. We anticipate that we will be able to recover some, if not all, of the receivable amounts embezzled during 2010, the professional service expenses we have incurred to-date, or will incur in the future, addressing this situation, and any amounts paid to settle any of the identified sales and use tax liability amounts. Amounts recovered, if any, will be recorded during the period in which settlement is determined to be certain.

increased by $7.4 million, or 16.9% to $51.0 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2011, compared to total revenue of $43.6 million in the six-month period ended June 30, 2010. With respect to the comparative increases in year-over-year total revenue, service revenue increased by $1.2 million, or 7.1%, and $5.2 million, or 15.9%, in the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2011. Software revenue represented $1.0 million of the overall year-over-year increase in total revenue in the three-month period ended June 30, 2011. Software revenue represented a $370 thousand decrease in the year-over-year comparison of the six-month period ended June 30, 2011.

We are reporting 5.7% and 13.7% year-over-year organic service revenue growth, which excludes service revenue contributions from Meridian, which was acquired in May 2010, during the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2011, respectively.

The year-over-year improvement in second quarter and year-to-date 2011 service revenue is the result of the increased sales activity and pipeline we experienced in the fourth quarter of 2010 and first quarter of 2011. This increased activity resulted in the generation of new projects and continued service agreements at existing clients, primarily in our EPM-related service offerings.

On a sequential quarterly basis, service revenue in the second quarter of 2011 decreased by $1.1 million, or 5.5% compared to the first quarter of 2011. Our second quarter service revenue is influenced by a decrease in our billable consultant utilization rate to 72.2% (compared to 79.3% in the first quarter of 2011) and a decrease in comparative quarterly service revenue generated by Fullscope’s process-related contracts in connection with the June 30, 2011 completion of the process earnout.

Utilization, which is the rate at which we are able to generate revenue from our consultants, decreased to 72.2% during the second quarter of 2011 compared to 75.7% during the second quarter of 2010. On a year-to-date basis, utilization for the first six months of 2011 increased to 76.2% compared to utilization of 75.5% during the first six months of 2010. We typically target utilization in a range from 78%-82%. Utilization is influenced by a variety of factors, including customer demand for IT spending and general economic circumstances. The decline in our current quarter utilization rate is the result of the anticipated wind down of the process related service contracts and a hesitation by customers to approve and initiate new and/or extend existing projects. While we continue to see consistent pipeline activity, decision cycle times appear to be lengthening.

Annualized service revenue per billable consultant, as adjusted for utilization, was $332 thousand and $329 thousand during the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2011, which is relatively consistent with our reported annualized service revenue per billable consultant of $331 thousand and $329 thousand during the comparative 2010 periods.

During the three- and six- month periods ended June 30, 2011, software revenue totaled $4.7 million and $6.3 million, or 17.3% and 12.4% of total revenue, respectively, compared to software revenue of $3.8 million and $6.7 million, or 16.1% and 15.3% of total revenue, respectively, in the three- and six- month periods ended June 30, 2010. Our software revenue is primarily related to our resale of Microsoft Dynamics AX ERP software. The year-over-year increase in software revenue during the three-month period ended June 30, 2011 is primarily attributable to the closing of several new product sales during the quarter.

Software revenue is expected to fluctuate between quarters dependent upon our customers’ demand for such third party off-the-shelf software. Sales of Dynamics AX ERP software have historically been strong in the quarterly period ended June 30, as compared to other fiscal quarterly periods. Our historical gross margins related to software revenue have generally been much lower than those achieved on our consulting services. Dynamics AX ERP-related software revenue, which we anticipate will represent the majority of our software revenue in 2011, has historically been sold at a higher margin than EPM-related software. Additionally, because software revenue has become a larger percentage of our total revenue, periodic fluctuations in the amount of software revenue recognized by the Company may have a material impact upon periodic gross margins.

During the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2011, we recognized $2.3 million and $3.2 million, respectively, in service and royalty revenue from Fullscope’s business process contracts. These contracts entail providing the services upon which the earnout agreement associated with the Fullscope Acquisition is based. The significant increase in royalty revenues during the second quarter of 2011 is the result of the second quarter being Microsoft’s fiscal year end as well as the last quarter of the process contracts arrangement. As per the terms of the earnout agreement, the service and royalty revenue generated by the business process contracts and the related earnout ended on June 30, 2011. No future service or royalty revenues are expected to be generated by the business process contracts after the second quarter of 2011.

Generally, we are reimbursed for our out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with our customers’ consulting projects. Reimbursed expense revenue increased approximately $412 thousand, to $1.8 million for the three-month period ended June 30, 2011, as compared to $1.4 million in the comparative 2010 quarterly period. Similarly, reimbursed expense revenue increased approximately $936 thousand, to $3.6 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2011, as compared to $2.7 million in the comparative 2010 year-to-date period. The aggregate amount of reimbursed expenses will fluctuate from period-to-period depending on the number of billable consultants as well the location of our customers, the general fluctuation of travel costs, such as airfare, and the number of our projects that require travel.

The total number of customers the Company served during the six-month period ended June 30, 2011 totaled 324, as compared to 285 customers during the six-month period ended June 30, 2010. During the first six months of 2011, we engaged on new projects with a total of 63 new customers, compared to 49 new customer engagements during the first six months of 2010. The year-over-year increase in both customer engagements and new customers is in large part due to the growth in our EPM-related services.

Cost of Revenue. Cost of revenue primarily consists of project personnel costs principally related to salaries, payroll taxes, employee benefits, software costs and travel expenses for personnel dedicated to customer projects. These costs represent the most significant expense we incur in providing our services. In total, cost of revenue increased by $1.8 million, or 12.2%, to $16.6 million for the three-month period ended June 30, 2011 compared to $14.8 million in the comparative 2010 quarterly period. Similarly, cost of revenue increased by $3.2 million, or 11.4%, to $31.6 million during the year-to-date period ended June 30, 2011 compared to $28.3 million in the comparative 2010 year-to-date period.

The primary drivers of the 2011 comparative year-over-year second quarter and year-to-date increase in cost of revenue, on an absolute dollar basis, are the growth in billable headcount necessary to support our service revenue growth, increases in fringe-related expenses, and to a lesser extent, incremental cost of revenue associated with the Meridian Acquisition, which closed on May 17, 2010 and was included in the second quarter 2010 financial statements from the date of acquisition. The Company maintained 309 billable consultants, including contractors, as of the quarter ended June 30, 2011 compared to 298 billable consultants at the end of the comparative prior year quarter.

We continue to leverage the use of contractors. We have utilized contractors to support our service delivery needs as a direct result of growth within our ERP and EPM service offerings. We have established initiatives targeting a reduction, when practical, in our reliance upon contractors. We have been successful in reducing our reliance on contractors to support our service delivery needs during the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2011. Contractor expense totaled $944 thousand and $1.4 million during the three-month periods ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. By contrast, contractor expense totaled $1.9 million and $2.6 million during the six-month periods ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

Project and personnel costs represented 43.3% and 47.1% of total revenue during the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2011, respectively, as compared to 45.2% and 47.9% of total revenue during the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2010, respectively. The decrease in project and personnel costs, as a percentage of total revenue, was driven by the comparative 2011 quarterly and year-to-date increases in revenue, as described above.

Software costs amounted to $2.9 million and $4.0 million during the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2011, respectively. Software costs amounted to $2.8 million and $4.8 million during the three- and six- month periods ended June 30, 2010, respectively. Software costs are expected to fluctuate between quarters depending on our customers’ demand for software. Reimbursable expenses increased to $1.8 million and $3.6 million for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2011, respectively, as compared to $1.4 million and $2.7 million in the comparative quarterly and year-to-date periods of 2010, respectively.

Gross Profit. During the three-month period ended June 30, 2011, total gross profit increased by $2.2 million, or 26.1%, to $10.8 million compared to total gross profit of $8.6 million in the three-month period ended June 30, 2010. During the six-month period ended June 30, 2011, total gross profit increased by $4.1 million, or 27.0%, to $19.4 million compared to total gross profit of $15.3 million in the six-month period ended June 30, 2010. For purposes of further analysis, we refer to gross profit as a percentage of revenue generally as gross margin.

Gross margin, as a percentage of total revenue, improved to 39.5% in the second quarter of 2011 compared to 36.8% in the comparative 2010 quarterly period. Similarly, gross margin improved to 38.0% in the six-month period ended June 30, 2011 compared to 35.1% in the comparative 2010 year-to-date period. The periodic year-over-year improvement in gross margin is directly related to the increase in process-related royalties earned under Fullscope process business contracts and gross margin contributions related to the mix of software revenue during the second quarter of 2011. Software revenue during the quarter contained a larger amount of product revenue than maintenance revenue. Product revenue generates a higher gross margin than maintenance revenue. These increases offset gross margin decreases resulting from the decrease in billable consultant utilization.

Service gross margin decreased to 36.3% in the second quarter of 2011 compared to 39.2% in the comparative 2010 quarterly period. Service gross margin increased to 37.4% in the six-month period ended June 30, 2011 compared to 36.8% in the comparative 2010 year-to-date period. The decrease in service gross margin for three-month period ended June 30, 2011 is primarily the result of the decrease in our billable consultant utilization. The increase in service gross margin for the six-month period ended June 30, 2011 is the result of strong performance within our EPM service offerings during the first quarter of 2011, which is historically a softer quarter for EPM services.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses (“SG&A”). As a percentage of revenue, SG&A expenses were 34.5% and 33.3% during the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2011, respectively, compared to 33.0% and 33.1% in the comparative 2010 quarterly and year-to-date periods, respectively. On an absolute dollar-basis, SG&A expenses increased by $1.7 million, or 22.7%, to $9.4 million in the three-month period ended June 30, 2011 compared to SG&A expenses of $7.7 million in the three-month period ended June 30, 2010. Similarly, on a year-to-date basis, SG&A expenses increased by $2.5 million, or 17.6%, to $17.0 million in the six-month period ended June 30, 2011 compared to SG&A expenses of $14.4 million in the six-month period ended June 30, 2010.

The quarterly and year-to-date comparative periodic increases in SG&A expense were largely attributable to the recording of a $1.4 million charge during the second quarter of 2011 in connection with an increase in the estimated fair value of the contingent earnout consideration payable to the former Fullscope stockholders. This charge was recorded as a result of the significant increase in process royalty revenue generated by the Company during the second quarter of 2011. Additional comparative increases in SG&A expense included management salaries and wages, sales-related salaries and wages (including commission expense in connection with the periodic revenue growth), fringe-related expenses, telecom and networking expenses, marketing expenses, and recruiting expenses incurred in connection with the increase in our billable consultant headcount. These increases were partially offset by a reduction in our allowance for doubtful accounts and a reduction in professional services expenses related to legal and accounting matters, including expenses associated with the Fullscope Embezzlement Issue.

We anticipate that we may continue to incur additional expenses associated with the Fullscope Embezzlement Issue as we intend to aggressively pursue recovery through all possible avenues, including a claim against the escrow account established in connection with the Fullscope Acquisition and reimbursement under insurance policies. We believe that we may be able to recover some, if not all, of the expenses we incur in addressing this situation. Amounts recovered, if any, will be recorded during the period in which settlement is determined to be certain.

Depreciation and Amortization Expense. Depreciation and amortization expense decreased $290 thousand, or 28.9%, to $712 thousand in the quarter ended June 30, 2011 compared to $1.0 million in the quarter ended June 30, 2010. Similarly, depreciation and amortization decreased $589 thousand, or 29.4%, to $1.4 million in the six-month period ended June 30, 2011 compared to $2.0 million in the comparative 2010 year-to-date period.

Amortization expense was $486 thousand and $975 thousand during the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2011, respectively, compared to amortization expense of $784 thousand and $1.6 million in the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2010, respectively. The decrease in amortization expense during the 2011 quarterly and year-to-date periods is primarily the result of a reduction in amortization expense associated with the intangible assets identified in connection with the Fullscope Acquisition. The Company recognizes amortization expense over the periods in which it expects to realize the economic benefit. A significant portion of the intangible asset amortization expense related to the Fullscope Acquisition was recorded during 2010.

Depreciation expense of $226 thousand and $440 thousand recorded in the 2011 current quarterly and year-to-date periods, respectively, was consistent with depreciation expense recognized during the comparative three- and six-month periods of 2010.

Operating Income (Loss). Operating income for the second quarter of 2011 was $672 thousand compared to an operating loss of $(116) thousand in the comparative 2010 quarterly period. Similarly, operating income for the six-month period ended June 30, 2011 was $1.0 million compared to an operating loss of $(1.1) million in the comparative 2010 year-to-date period. The current quarter and year-to-date fluctuation in operating results can be attributed to the comparative year-over-year increases in service revenue and royalty revenue, increases in associated gross margins, and the reduction in amortization expense, which were partially offset by the periodic increases in SG&A expenses. Each of these expense items is explained in further detail above.

Other Income (Expense), Net. Other income (expense), net, totaled $25 thousand and $17 thousand during the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2011, respectively, while other income (expense), net, totaled $(25) thousand and $(49) thousand during the comparative 2010 quarterly and year-to-date periods, respectively. These amounts primarily represent the Company’s foreign currency exchange loss recorded during the current quarterly and year-to-date periods.

Income Tax Provision (Benefit). We recorded a provision for income taxes of $302 thousand and $352 thousand during the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, respectively. We recorded an income tax benefit of $(51) thousand and $(467) thousand during the three and six months ended June 30, 2010. Our 2011 and 2010 periodic income tax provision (benefit) amounts were derived based upon an effective income tax rate, inclusive of both federal and state income taxes, of 33.3% and 39.0%, respectively. Our total current period income tax expense was partially reduced by a decrease in the valuation allowance provided against the entire carrying value of our net deferred tax assets. Reported income tax expense during the comparative 2011 and 2010 quarterly periods also includes expense amounts attributable to foreign income taxes, foreign income tax provisions, the recognition of U.S. deferred tax liabilities for differences between the book and tax basis of goodwill and interest and penalties.

We have deferred tax assets that have arisen primarily as a result of timing differences, net operating loss carryforwards and tax credits. Our ability to realize a deferred tax asset is based on our ability to generate sufficient future taxable income. We assess, on a routine periodic basis, the estimated future realizability of the gross carrying value of our deferred tax assets on a more likely than not basis. Our periodic assessments take into consideration both positive evidence (future profitability projections for example) and negative evidence (recent and historical financial performance for example) as it relates to evaluating the future recoverability of our deferred tax assets. Based on such evaluations, we have concluded that a full valuation allowance against our deferred tax assets remains appropriate.

The establishment of a full valuation allowance against the gross carrying value of our net deferred tax assets does not prohibit or limit the Company’s ability to realize a tax benefit in future periods. All existing deferred tax assets, net operating loss carryforwards and credits will be available, subject to possible statutory limitations, to reduce certain future federal and state income tax obligations.

The Company considers scheduled reversals of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income, ongoing tax planning strategies and other matters, including the period over which our deferred tax assets will be recoverable, in assessing the need for and the amount of the valuation allowance. In the event that actual results differ from these estimates, or we adjust these estimates in the future periods, further adjustments to our valuation allowance may be recorded, which could materially impact our financial position and net income (loss) in the period of the adjustment.

Net Income (Loss). We reported net income of $395 thousand and $705 thousand during the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2011, respectively, compared to a reported net loss of $(90) thousand and $(729) thousand during the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2010, respectively. Both the current quarterly and year-to-date periodic fluctuations in net income (loss) are attributable to the comparative year-over-year increases service revenue and royalty revenue, increases in associated gross margins, and the reduction in amortization expense, which were partially offset by the periodic increases in SG&A expenses. Each of these factors is explained in further detail above.

As of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, we had cash and cash equivalents of $12.3 million and $10.9 million, respectively. Working capital, which is defined as current assets less current liabilities, totaled $17.3 million and $14.2 million as of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively. The comparative increases in our cash and cash equivalents balance during the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 is related to the Company’s generation of income from operations, collections of outstanding accounts receivable balances and issuances under the Company’s employee stock purchase plan. These inflows were offset by payments made under Edgewater’s 2010 performance-based bonus plans, annual renewals of insurance premiums, purchases of capital equipment and capital lease obligations.

Our primary historical sources of funds have been from operations and the proceeds from equity offerings, as well as sales of businesses in fiscal years 2000 and 2001. Our principal historical uses of cash have been to fund working capital requirements, capital expenditures and acquisitions. We generally pay our employees bi-weekly for their services, while receiving payments from customers 30 to 60 days from the date of the invoice.

Net cash provided by operating activities was $2.9 million and $3.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Net cash provided during the three months ended June 30, 2011 was largely attributable to inflows related to an increase of $3.1 million in accounts payable and accrued expenses (primarily related to payments owed to software partners in connection with our end of quarter software revenue deals). Additionally, the Company reported non-cash charges of $1.5 million in fair value adjustments related to contingent earnout consideration, $725 thousand in depreciation and amortization expense and $361 thousand in stock-based compensation expense. The inflows were partially offset by an increase in accounts receivable of $2.9 million and a decrease in accrued payroll and other related liabilities of $394 thousand.

Net cash provided by operating activities during the three months ended June 30, 2010 was largely attributable to inflows related to $747 thousand in accounts payable and accrued expenses, and $1.7 million in accrued payroll and related liabilities and $743 thousand in prepaid expenses, which included the receipt of a foreign income tax refund. Additionally, the Company reported non-cash charges related to $1.0 million in depreciation and amortization expense and $282 thousand in stock-based compensation expense. The inflows were partially offset by outflows of cash associated with an increase of $390 thousand in accounts receivable balances and a $173 thousand decrease in deferred revenue and other liabilities.

During the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, cash provided by (used in) operating activities was $1.7 million and $(2.2) million, respectively. Net cash provided during the six months ended June 30, 2011 was largely attributable to inflows related to the $2.4 million increase in accounts payable and accrued liabilities (primarily related to payments owed to software partners in connection with our end of quarter software revenue deals). Additionally, the Company reported non-cash charges of $1.5 million in fair value adjustments related to contingent earnout consideration, $1.4 million in depreciation and amortization expense and $609 thousand in stock-based compensation expense. The inflows were partially offset by an increase of accounts receivable of $2.9 million and outflows of cash associated with a $1.4 million decrease in accrued payroll and other related liabilities.

Net cash used in operating activities during the six months ended June 30, 2010 was the result of outflows attributable to the reported year-to-date loss of $729 thousand, an increase in the Company’s deferred tax assets of $504 thousand in connection with the reported year-to-date net loss, a $1.5 million increase in accounts receivable in connection with the increase in year-to-date total revenue and $2.4 million in accrued expenses, which were primarily associated with the Fullscope Payments and a $463 thousand decrease in deferred revenue and other liabilities. These outflows were partially offset by an $849 thousand increase in accrued payroll and related liabilities, which was primarily a result of current year accruals related to the Company’s 2010 performance-based bonus plans and commission plans, plus non-cash charges such as $2.0 million in depreciation and amortization expense and $501 thousand in stock-based compensation.

Net cash (used in) provided by investing activities was $(195) thousand and $1.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Cash used in investing activities during the three months ended June 30, 2011 was solely attributable to the purchase of property and equipment. Cash used in investing activities for the three months ended June 30, 2010 was attributable to $4.1 million in net redemptions of marketable securities during the period, offset by $1.6 million in initial upfront cash consideration paid in connection with the Meridian Acquisition and a $713 thousand payment related to a final net working capital adjustment in connection with the Fullscope Acquisition.

During the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, net cash (used in) provided by investing activities was $(432) thousand and $4.4 million, respectively. Cash provided by investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2011 was largely attributable to the purchase of property and equipment. Cash used in investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2010 was attributable to $6.9 million in redemptions of marketable securities, which were offset by $2.3 million of cash outlays related to payments associated with the Fullscope Acquisition and Meridian Acquisition and capital expenditures of $155 thousand.

Net cash provided by financing activities was $67 thousand and $33 thousand for the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Additionally, net cash provided by financing activities was $161 thousand and $94 thousand during the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The net cash provided by financing activities during each of the three- and six-month periods is primarily the result of inflows of cash received in connection with stock option exercises and proceeds from the Company’s employee stock purchase program. These inflows were offset by principal payments on capital lease obligations in each of the respective three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2011 and 2010.

Our combined cash and cash equivalents increased by $2.8 million and $5.5 million during the three-month periods ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. During the six-month periods ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, our combined cash and cash equivalents increased by $1.4 million and $2.3 million, respectively. These net changes to the Company’s reported cash and cash equivalent balances are reflective of the sources and uses of cash described above. The aggregate of cash and cash equivalents was $12.3 million and $8.2 million as of June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

As of June 30, 2011, our primary material future liquidity requirements consist of earnout payments as described under “Acquisitions, Earnout Payments and Commitments,” purchases of property and equipment, and lease payments associated with our lease obligations. See “Off Balance Sheet Arrangements, Contractual Obligations and Contingent Liabilities and Commitments” included elsewhere herein.

We believe that our current cash balances and cash flows from operations will be sufficient to fund our short-term operating and liquidity requirements, at least for the next twelve-month period, and our long-term operating and liquidity requirements, based on our current business model. We periodically reassess the adequacy of our liquidity position, taking into consideration current and anticipated requirements. The pace at which we will either generate or consume cash will be dependent upon future operations and the level of demand for our services on an ongoing basis.

Acquisitions, Earnout Payments and Commitments

Acquisition of Fullscope, Inc.: As more fully described in “Item 1 – Financial Statements – Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements—Note 7,” included elsewhere herein, contingent earnout consideration to be paid, if any, to the former Fullscope stockholders is based upon the generation of positive, after-tax income by the Fullscope business process contract, which is determined, periodically, over an eighteen-month period from the date of acquisition and concluding on June 30, 2011. The Company’s balance sheet, as of June 30, 2011, includes an accrual of $2.9 million representing the estimated contingent earnout consideration earned and payable to the former stockholders of Fullscope. During the three- and six- month periods ended June 30, 2011, the Company recognized $1.4 million and of expense (reported as part of our selling, general and administrative expenses), related to periodic adjustments of the estimated fair value of the contingent consideration payable to Fullscope’s former stockholders. The majority of this expense was recognized by the Company during the second quarter of 2011, during which the Company recognized $2.2 million in royalty revenue, which increased the recorded estimate of contingent earnout consideration earned by the former Fullscope stockholders by $1.4 million. As of June 30, 2011 the Fullscope earnout period is complete.

In connection with the Fullscope Acquisition an escrow account was established with $1.3 million, or 10% of the initial upfront purchase price consideration. Subsequent to that time, the Company transferred an additional $700 thousand in to the escrow account in connection with the release of a pre-acquisition Fullscope escrow account that was established in June 2009 in connection with Fullscope’s sale of Dynamics AX add on software modules to Microsoft. As of June 30, 2011, the Company has recorded contingent earnout consideration, which will be paid in to a second escrow account, of $2.9 million. We currently anticipate that this payment will occur during the fourth quarter of 2011. The escrow accounts, as per the merger agreements, were established to ensure the satisfactory resolution of all potential claims during the earnout period. These amounts will remain unsettled until our claim of recovery for the above matters are resolved.

Acquisition of Meridian Consulting International: As more fully described in “Item 1 – Financial Statements – Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements—Note 7,” included elsewhere herein, an earnout agreement was entered into in connection with the Meridian Acquisition under which the former Meridian stockholders are eligible to receive additional contingent consideration. Contingent earnout consideration to be paid, if any, to the former Meridian stockholders will be based upon the achievement of certain performance measures over three consecutive twelve-month earnout periods, concluding on May 17, 2013. The maximum amount of contingent earnout consideration that the former stockholders of Meridian can earn is capped at $2.7 million.

In May 2011, Meridian completed its first twelve-month earnout period, during which the required performance measurements were not achieved. Accordingly, the former Meridian stockholders are not eligible to receive additional contingent consideration related to the first earnout period. The Company, as of June 30, 2011, has accrued $1.4 million in potential future contingent earnout consideration payable to the former Meridian stockholders related to the completion of the second and third twelve-month earnout periods. As of June 30, 2011, the maximum amount of contingent earnout consideration that the former stockholders of Meridian can earn during the final two earnout periods is capped at $1.8 million.

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements, Contractual Obligations and Contingent Liabilities and Commitments

The Company entered into lease financing arrangements (the “Capital Lease Arrangements”) related to certain property and equipment. Payments under the Capital Lease Arrangements are to be made over a period of 24 to 60 months and have interest rates that range between 6.0% and 17.0% per annum on the outstanding principle balances. As of June 30, 2011, our outstanding obligations under our Capital Lease Arrangements totaled $127 thousand. Of this amount, $127 thousand, which is due and payable within the next twelve months, has been classified as a current capital lease obligation in the accompanying balance sheet. During the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2011, the Company made payments of principal and interest totaling $36 thousand and $72 thousand, respectively, under the Capital Lease Arrangements. During the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2010, the Company made payments of principal and interest totaling $57 thousand and $112 thousand, respectively, under the Capital Lease Arrangements.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

We prepare our unaudited condensed 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. We reaffirm the critical accounting policies and estimates as reported in our 2010 Annual Report on Form 10-K, which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 31, 2011.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2011-05, “Comprehensive Income.” This ASU intends to enhance comparability and transparency of other comprehensive income components. The guidance provides an option to present total comprehensive income, the components of net income and the components of other comprehensive income in a single continuous statement or two separate but consecutive statements. This ASU eliminates the option to present other comprehensive income components as part of the statement of changes in shareowners’ equity. The provisions of this ASU will be applied retrospectively for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. Early application is permitted.

In December 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-28, When to Perform Step 2 of the Goodwill Impairment Test for Reporting Units with Zero or Negative Carrying Amounts (Topic 350)—Intangibles—Goodwill and Other (ASU 2010-28). ASU 2010-28 amends the criteria for performing Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test for reporting units with zero or negative carrying amounts and requires performing Step 2 if qualitative factors indicate that it is more likely than not that a goodwill impairment exists. We will adopt ASU 2010-28 in fiscal 2012.

In December 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-29, Business Combinations – Disclosure of Supplementary Pro Forma Information (ASU 2010-29), to add additional disclosures about the total revenue and earnings of the acquired entity as if the acquisition were closed on the first day of the previous calendar year. Further, disclosure will be required of any material nonrecurring pro forma adjustments. The amended guidance will be implemented on a prospective basis for acquisitions entered into after January 1, 2011.

In January 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-06, Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements (Topic 820)—Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (ASU 2010-06), to add additional disclosures about the different classes of assets and liabilities measured at fair value, the valuation techniques and inputs used, and the activity in Level 3 fair value measurements (as defined in Note 5 in the accompanying notes to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements) . Certain provisions of this update will be effective for us in fiscal 2012 and we are currently evaluating the impact of the pending adoption of ASU 2010-06 on our consolidated financial statements.

Risk Factors

We operate in a rapidly changing environment that involves certain risks and uncertainties, some of which are beyond our control. You should carefully review and consider the information regarding certain risk factors that could materially affect our business, financial condition or future results set forth under “Part I – Item 1A – Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, for the period ending December 31, 2010, which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 31, 2011 and in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q under “Special Note Regarding Forward Looking Statements.”

SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS

Some of the statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and elsewhere constitute forward-looking statements under Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. These statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause results, levels of activity, growth, performance, tax consequences or achievements to be materially different from any future results, levels of activity, growth, performance, tax consequences or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Such factors include, among other things, those listed below, as well as those further set forth under the heading “Business – Factors Affecting Finances, Business Prospects and Stock Volatility” in our 2010 Annual Report on Form 10-K as filed with the SEC on March 31, 2011.

The forward-looking statements included in this Form 10-Q and referred to elsewhere are related to future events or our strategies or future financial performance, including statements concerning our 2011 outlook, future revenue and growth, customer spending outlook, general economic trends, IT service demand, future revenue and revenue mix, utilization, new service offerings, significant customers, competitive and strategic initiatives, growth plans, potential stock repurchases, future results, tax consequences and liquidity needs . In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as “may,” “should,” “believe,” “anticipate,” “forecast,” “project,” “target,” “potential,” “estimate,” “encourage,” “opportunity,” “goal,” “objective,” “could,” “expect,” “intend,” “plan,” “focus,” “build,” “strategy,” “maximize,” “commitment,” “create,” “implement,” “seek,” “establish,” “pursue,” “continue,” “can,” or terms of similar meaning. These forward-looking statements inherently involve certain risks and uncertainties, although they are based on our current plans or assessments which are believed to be reasonable as of the date of this Form 10-Q. Factors that may cause actual results, goals, targets or objectives to differ materially from those contemplated, projected, forecasted, estimated, anticipated, planned or budgeted in such forward-looking statements include, among others, the following possibilities: (1) failure to obtain new customers or retain significant existing customers; (2) the loss of one or more key executives and/or employees; (3) changes in industry trends, such as a decline in the demand for Business Intelligence (“BI”) and Enterprise Performance Management (“EPM”) solutions, custom development and system integration services and/or declines in industry-wide information technology (“IT”) spending, whether on a temporary or permanent basis and/or delays by customers in initiating new projects or existing project milestones; (4) inability to execute upon growth objectives, including new services and growth in entities acquired by our Company; (5) adverse developments and volatility involving economic, geopolitical or technology market conditions; (6) delays in, or the failure of, our sales pipeline being converted to billable work and recorded as revenue; (7) inability to recruit and retain professionals with the high level of information technology skills and experience needed to provide our services; (8) failure to expand outsourcing services to generate additional revenue; (9) any changes in ownership of the Company or otherwise that would result in a limitation of the net operating loss carryforward under applicable tax laws; and/or (10) the failure of the marketplace to embrace specialty consulting services. In evaluating these statements, you should specifically consider various factors described above as well as the risks outlined under Item I “Business – Factors Affecting Finances, Business Prospects and Stock Volatility” in our 2010 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 31, 2011. These factors may cause our actual results to differ materially from those contemplated, projected, anticipated, planned or budgeted in any such forward-looking statements.

Although we believe that the expectations in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance, growth, earnings per share or achievements. However, neither we nor any other person assumes responsibility for the accuracy and completeness of such statements. Except as otherwise required, we undertake no obligation to update any of the forward-looking statements after the date of this Form 10-Q to conform such statements to actual results.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Our primary financial instruments include investments in money market funds, short-term municipal bonds, commercial paper and United States government securities that are sensitive to market risks and interest rates. The investment portfolio is used to preserve our capital until it is required to fund operations, strategic acquisitions or distributions to stockholders. None of our market-risk sensitive instruments are held for trading purposes. We did not purchase derivative financial instruments in the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2011 and 2010. Should interest rates on the Company’s investments fluctuate by 10% the impact would not be material to the financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

The impact of inflation and changing prices has not been material on revenue or income from continuing operations during the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2011 and 2010.

 

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures, which we have designed to ensure that material information related to the Company, including our consolidated subsidiaries, is properly identified and evaluated on a regular basis and disclosed in accordance with all applicable laws and regulations. In response to recent legislation and proposed regulations, we reviewed our disclosure controls and procedures. We also established a disclosure committee, which consists of certain members of our senior management. The Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer of Edgewater Technology, Inc. (its principal executive officer and principal financial officer, respectively) have concluded, based on their evaluations as of the end of the period covered by this Report, that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports filed or submitted by it under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms, and include controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in such reports is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Changes in Controls and Procedures

There were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act, during the period covered by this report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

 

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

We are sometimes a party to litigation incidental to our business. We are not involved in any active, pending, or (to the best of our knowledge) threatened legal proceedings which would be material to our consolidated financial statements. We maintain insurance in amounts, with coverages and deductibles, which we believe are reasonable. As of the date of the filing of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, our Company is not a party to any existing material litigation matters.

 

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

This Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements. As discussed in “Part I - Item 1A - Risk Factors” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010 and herein under “Special Note Regarding Forward Looking Statements,” investors should be aware of certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions that could affect our actual results and could cause such results to differ materially from those contained in forward-looking statements made by or on behalf of us in our periodic or current reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, in our Annual Report to Shareholders, in our Proxy Statement, in press releases and other written materials and statements made by our officers, directors or employees to third parties. Such statements are based on current expectations only and actual future results may differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements due to certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions.

We encourage you to refer to our Annual Report on Form 10-K to carefully consider these risks, uncertainties and assumptions.

ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS

In December 2007, our Board of Directors (the “Board”) authorized a stock repurchase program for up to $5.0 million of common stock on the open market or through privately negotiated transactions from time-to-time through December 31, 2008 (the “Stock Repurchase Program”). In September 2008, the Board authorized both an increase to and an extension of the Stock Repurchase Program. The Board increased the maximum dollar value of shares to be purchased under the Stock Repurchase Program by $3.5 million, to a total of $8.5 million and extended the period during which purchases could be made from December 31, 2008 to September 24, 2009 (the “Repurchase Period”). On September 23, 2009 and September 24, 2010, the Board authorized extensions of the Repurchase Period to September 23, 2010 and September 23, 2011, respectively, while maintaining the Stock Repurchase Program’s cumulative maximum dollar repurchase limitation.

The timing and amount of the purchases will be based upon market conditions, securities law considerations and other factors. The Stock Repurchase Program does not obligate the Company to acquire a specific number of shares in any period and may be modified, suspended, extended or discontinued at any time, without prior notice.
