NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. | ORGANIZATION: |
Edgewater Technology, Inc. (Edgewater or the Company) is a strategic consulting firm that brings a blend of advisory and product-based consulting services to its customer base. Headquartered in Wakefield, Massachusetts, we work with customers to reduce costs, improve process and increase revenue through the judicious use of technology.
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 2011 Annual Report on Form 10-K, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) on March 12, 2012 (the 2011 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 2011 Form 10-K.
The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 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.
3. | REVENUE RECOGNITION: |
Our Company recognizes revenue primarily through the provision of consulting services and the resale of third-party, off the shelf software and maintenance.
We recognize revenue by providing consulting services under written service contracts with our customers. The service contracts we enter into generally fall into three specific categories: time and materials, fixed-price and retainer.
When a customer enters into a time and materials, fixed-price or a periodic retainer-based contract, the Company recognizes revenue in accordance with our evaluation of the deliverables in each contract. If the deliverables represent separate units of accounting, the Company then measures and allocates the consideration from the arrangement to the separate units, based on vendor specific objective evidence of the value for each deliverable.
The 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. We routinely evaluate whether revenue and profitability should be recognized in the current period. We estimate the proportional performance on our fixed-price contracts on a monthly basis utilizing hours incurred to date as a percentage of total estimated hours to complete the project. If we do not have a sufficient basis to measure progress toward completion, revenue is recognized upon completion of performance, subject to any warranty provisions or other project management assessments as to the status of work performed. This method is used because reasonably dependable estimates of costs and revenue earned can be made, based on historical experience and milestones identified in any particular contract.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
3. | REVENUE RECOGNITION: (Continued) |
Estimates of total project costs are continuously monitored during the term of an engagement. There are situations where the number of hours to complete projects may exceed our original estimate, as a result of an increase in project scope, unforeseen events that arise, or the inability of the client or the delivery team to fulfill their responsibilities. Accordingly, recorded revenues and costs are subject to revision throughout the life of a project based on current information and historical trends. Such revisions may result in increases or decreases to revenue and income and are reflected in the consolidated financial statements in the periods in which they are first identified.
If our initial estimates of the resources required or the scope of work to be performed on a fixed-price contract are inaccurate, or we do not manage the project properly within the planned time period, a provision for estimated losses on incomplete projects is made. Any known or probable losses on projects are charged to operations in the period in which such losses are determined. A formal project review process takes place quarterly, although projects are evaluated on an ongoing basis. Management reviews the estimated total direct costs on each contract to determine if the estimated amounts are accurate, and estimates are adjusted as needed in the period revised estimates are made. No losses were recognized on fixed-price contracts during the three or six month periods ended June 30, 2012 or 2011.
We also perform services on a periodic retainer basis under infrastructure service contracts, which include monthly hosting and support services. Revenue under periodic retainer-based contracts is recognized ratably over the contract period, as outlined within the respective contract. In the event additional services are required, above the minimum retained or contracted amount, then such services are billed on a time and materials basis.
Typically, the Company provides warranty services on its fixed-price contracts related to providing customers with the ability to have any design flaws remedied and/or have our Company fix routine defects. The warranty services, as outlined in the respective contracts, are provided for a specific period of time after a project is complete. The Company values the warranty services based upon historical labor hours incurred for similar services at standard billing rates. Revenue related to the warranty provisions within our fixed-price contracts is recognized as the services are performed or the revenue is earned. The warranty period is typically for a 30-60 day period after the project is complete.
Customer prepayments, even if nonrefundable, are deferred (classified as deferred revenue) and recognized over future periods as services are performed.
Software revenue represents the resale of certain third-party off-the-shelf software and maintenance and is recorded on a gross basis provided we act as a principal in the transaction, which we have determined based upon several factors including, but not limited to, the fact that we have credit risk and we set the price to the end user. In the event we do not meet the requirements to be considered a principal in the software sale transaction and act as an agent, software revenue will be recorded on a net basis.
The majority of the software sold by the Company is delivered electronically. For software that is delivered electronically, we consider delivery to have occurred when the customer either (a) takes possession of the software via a download (that is, when the customer takes possession of the electronic data on its hardware), or (b) has been provided with access codes that allow the customer to take immediate possession of the software on its hardware pursuant to an agreement or purchase order for the software.
The Company enters into multiple element arrangements which typically include software, post-contract support (or maintenance), and consulting services. Consistent with the software described above, maintenance that is in the form of a pass through transaction is recognized upon delivery of the software, as all related warranty and maintenance is performed by the primary software vendor and not the Company. Maintenance fee revenue for the Companys software products, which is inconsequential in all years presented, is recognized ratably over the term of the arrangements, which are generally for a one-year period. The Company has established vendor specific objective evidence (VSOE) with respect to the services provided based on the price charged when the services are sold separately. The Company has established VSOE for maintenance based upon the stated renewal rate.
We consider amounts to be earned once evidence of an arrangement has been obtained, services are delivered, fees are fixed or determinable and collectability is reasonably assured. We establish billing terms at the time at which the project deliverables and milestones are agreed. Our standard payment terms are 30 days from invoice date. Out-of-pocket reimbursable expenses charged to customers are reflected as revenue.

EDGEWATER TECHNOLOGY, INC.
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
3. | REVENUE RECOGNITION: (Continued) |
We received royalty revenue in connection with the sale of Microsoft Dynamics AX-related discrete and process manufacturing modules (the Software Modules) developed by Fullscope, which were sold to Microsoft in June 2009. Royalty revenues earned were determined as a percentage of net receipts from the periodic sale of license keys and enhancements related to the Software Modules sold by Microsoft. Royalties were recognized as earned in accordance with the contract terms when royalties from licensees could be reasonably estimated and collectability was reasonably assured. The Software Modules contract expired in June 2011, and no revenue is expected to be recognized subsequent to the expiration of this contract.
4. | SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION: |
Stock-based compensation expense under all of the Companys share-based plans was $359 thousand and $706 thousand for the three- and six -month periods ended June 30, 2012, respectively. Stock-based compensation expense under all of the Companys share-based plans was $361 thousand and $609 thousand for the three- and six -month periods ended June 30, 2011, respectively.
Cash received from the employee stock purchase plan (ESPP) and stock option exercises were $115 thousand and $240 thousand during the three- and six- month periods ended June 30, 2012, respectively. Cash received from ESPP and stock option exercises were $104 thousand and $233 thousand during the three-and six- month periods ended June 20, 2011, respectively.
As of June 30, 2012, unrecognized compensation expense, net of estimated forfeitures, related to the unvested portion of all share-based compensation arrangements was approximately $2.0 million and is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.3 years.
The Company intends to use previously purchased treasury shares for shares issued for options, restricted share awards and ESPP purchases. Shares may also be issued from unissued share reserves.
5. | INCOME TAXES: |
The Company recorded a tax expense of $131 thousand and $219 thousand for the three-and six- month periods ended June 30, 2012, respectively. 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 reported tax expense for the three-and six- month periods ended June 30, 2012, is based upon an effective tax rate of 49.4% and 41.5%, respectively, 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 expense for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2011 is based upon an effective tax rate of 43.3% and 33.3%, respectively.
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, 2012. The establishment of a full valuation allowance against the gross carrying value of our deferred tax assets does not prohibit or limit the Companys 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.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
6. | 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 assets or liabilitys classification within the hierarchy is determined based upon the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
As of June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the Companys 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 Companys acquisition of Meridian Consulting International (Meridian), which is more fully described in Note 8.
The following table represents the Companys fair value hierarchy for its financial assets and liabilities required to be measured on a recurring basis:

The Company has classified its liability for contingent earnout consideration relating to its acquisition of Meridian within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy because the fair value is determined using significant unobservable inputs, which includes probability weighted cash flows. A description of this acquisition is included within Note 8.

The Company routinely examines actual results in comparison to the performance measurements utilized in the earnout calculation and assesses the carrying value of the contingent earnout consideration. During the three- and six- month periods ended June 30, 2012, the Company increased the estimated accrual of contingent earnout consideration earned by the former Meridian stockholders by $8 thousand and $15 thousand, respectively. During the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2011, the Company increased the estimated accrual of contingent earnout consideration earned by the former Meridian stockholders by $57 thousand and $65 thousand, respectively.
During the three- and six- month periods ended June 30, 2011, the Company also increased the estimated accrual of contingent earnout consideration earned by the former Fullscope stockholders by $1.4 million. The Fullscope contingent earnout was settled in the fourth quarter of 2011 and therefore no contingent liability is recorded as of June 30, 2012.
Each of the adjustments, as required by Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 805, Business Combinations, was reported as part of our selling, general and administrative expenses.
No financial instruments were transferred into or out of Level 3 classification during the three- or six-month period ended June 30, 2012.
As of June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, 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.
7. | GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS: |
There has been no change in the Companys recorded goodwill balance during the three- or six- month periods ended June 30, 2012 or 2011. Our annual goodwill and intangible assets measurement date is December 2.
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 $241 thousand and $482 thousand during the three-and six- month periods ended June 30, 2012, respectively. Amortization expense was $486 thousand and $975 thousand during the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2011, respectively. This amortization expense relates to certain non-competition covenants, trade names and customer lists, which expire between 2012 and 2016.
The Company recorded amortization from capitalized internally developed software (reported as part of our software expense) of $25 thousand and $42 thousand during the three-and six- month periods ended June 30, 2012, respectively. 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.

8. | 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 Oracles 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.
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.
In May 2011 and May 2012, Meridian completed its first and second twelve-month earnout periods, during which the required performance measurements were not achieved. The former Meridian stockholders did not receive any additional contingent consideration related to the first or second earnout periods. The Company, as of June 30, 2012, has accrued $246 thousand in potential future contingent earnout consideration payable to the former Meridian stockholders related to the completion of the third twelve-month earnout period. As of June 30, 2012, the maximum amount of contingent earnout consideration that the former stockholders of Meridian can earn during the final earnout period is capped at $917 thousand.

Share-based awards, inclusive of all grants made under the Companys 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 813 thousand and 959 thousand in the three- and six- month periods ended June 30, 2012, respectively. 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. As of June 30, 2012 and 2011, there were approximately 3.9 million and 3.8 million share-based awards outstanding, respectively, under the Companys equity plans.
11. | STOCK REPURCHASE PROGRAM: |
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). The Board subsequently amended the Stock Repurchase Program, authorizing both
12
EDGEWATER TECHNOLOGY, INC.
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
11. | STOCK REPURCHASE PROGRAM: (Continued) |
an increase to and an extension of the Stock Repurchase Program. The Stock Repurchase Program, as amended, had a maximum purchase value of shares of $8.5 million (the Purchase Authorization) and expired on September 23, 2011 (the Repurchase Period). On September 9, 2011, the Board approved both a $5.0 million increase to the Purchase Authorization, to $13.5 million, and an extension of the Repurchase Period to September 21, 2012. As of June 30, 2012, there was $3.9 million of remaining Purchase Authorization under the Stock Repurchase Program.
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.
In March 2012, the Board authorized a written trading plan under Rule 10b5-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 to facilitate the repurchase of its common stock pursuant to the Company's existing stock repurchase authorization (the 10b5-1 Plan).
The 10b5-1Plan became effective on March 15, 2012 and is scheduled to expire on September 21, 2012, unless terminated earlier in accordance with its terms. Purchases, if any, may not exceed the remaining shares available under the existing repurchase authorization.
The Company repurchased a total of 118 thousand and 187 thousand shares of common stock during the three and six- month periods ended June 30, 2012, respectively, at an aggregate purchase price of $468 thousand and $728 thousand, respectively. The Company did not repurchase any common stock during the three-and six- months ended June 30, 2011.
12. | FULLSCOPE EMBEZZLEMENT: |
During the second quarter of 2010, the Company discovered embezzlement activities at Fullscope, one of its 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 quarters 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 2010.
The Company incurred approximately $567 thousand and $51 thousand in non-routine operating expenses associated with the Fullscope Embezzlement Issue during the three-month periods ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The Company incurred approximately $570 thousand and $114 thousand in such non-routine operating expenses during the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively.
During the second quarter of 2012, the Company increased the previously recorded accrual for pre-acquisition sales and use tax exposure by $550 thousand. As of June 30, 2012, the accrual for pre-acquisition sales and use tax exposure is estimated at $1.5 million. The potential sales and use tax-related liability was created by the methods employed by a former employee of Fullscope to conceal the discovered fraudulent activity. While the Company has accounted for this liability as a period expense, we believe that any amounts actually paid to resolve this issue will be recoverable from an existing, fully funded escrow account which was established in connection with our acquisition of Fullscope. Future amounts recovered, if any, will be recorded by the Company in the period in which the amounts are determined to be probable of recovery from escrow.

12. | FULLSCOPE EMBEZZLEMENT: (Continued) |
We incurred a majority of our embezzlement expenses during fiscal 2010 in connection with our identification and investigation of the embezzlement activity. We anticipate that we may continue to incur additional expenses associated with the Fullscope Embezzlement Issue as we intend to aggressively pursue recovery through a claim against the escrow account established in connection with the acquisition of Fullscope, Inc. (Fullscope Acquisition). 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 probable.
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 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 Fullscopes sale of Dynamics AX add-on software modules to Microsoft. Further, in the fourth quarter of 2011, the Company funded the escrow account with $2.6 million in settlement of the contingent consideration obligation. As of June 30, 2012, the combined value of the two escrow accounts was approximately $4.6 million. The escrow accounts, as per the merger agreement, 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 is resolved.
13. | SALE OF INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY: |
In June 2012, Microsoft Corporation agreed to purchase Edgewater Fullscopes Process Industries 2 (PI2) software and intellectual property (the Assets) for an aggregate of $3.25 million, payable in installments. Also, Microsoft will engage Edgewater Fullscope in additional development and training services during the integration of the software module into Microsofts ERP solution for enterprises, Microsoft Dynamics AX. Our future quarterly revenue will be influenced by our recognition of both proceeds related to the IP sale and service revenue generated under the development and training service agreements. We will recognize revenue associated with the Microsoft IP Sale in direct proportion to the actual periodic services performed, as compared to the anticipated development services to be performed over the duration of the agreement. The agreement contains representations, warranties, covenants and indemnities, including an agreement by Edgewater Fullscope not to develop, promote, market or sell any software or technology that has the same or substantially similar, in any material respect, features or functions as the Assets or could replace, be used in lieu of or otherwise compete with such Assets.

Factors Influencing Our Results of Operations
Revenue. The Company derives its service revenue from time and materials-based contracts, fixed-price contracts and retainer-based arrangements. Time and materials-based contracts represented 95.4% and 95.5% of service revenue for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2012, respectively. 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. Revenue under time and materials contracts is recognized as services are rendered and performed at contractually agreed upon rates. Fixed-price contracts represented 1.9% of service revenue for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2012. Fixed-price contracts represented 2.1% and 3.1% of service revenue for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2011, respectively. Revenue pursuant to fixed-price contracts is recognized under the proportional performance method of accounting. Retainer-based contracts represented 2.7% and 2.6% of service revenue during the three-and six- month periods ended June 30, 2012, respectively. Retainer-based contracts represented 2.3% of service revenue during the three- and six- month periods ended June 30, 2011. Revenue under retainer-based contracts is recognized ratably over the contract period, as outlined within the respective contract.
16
Estimates of total project costs are continuously monitored during the term of an engagement. There are situations where the number of hours to complete projects may exceed our original estimate, as a result of an increase in project scope, unforeseen events that arise, or the inability of the client or the delivery team to fulfill their responsibilities. Accordingly, recorded revenues and costs are subject to revision throughout the life of a project based on current information and historical trends. Such revisions may result in increases or decreases to revenue and income and are reflected in the consolidated financial statements in the periods in which they are first identified.
In connection with our addition of product-based consulting offerings, 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. The consulting services we provide are not considered by us to be essential to the functionality of the software. 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 customers. 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 customers and the non-billable costs associated with securing new customer 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 customer-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 customer projects with customer 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 customer engagements are terminable by our customers without penalty, an unanticipated termination of a customer 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 customer engagements and to participate in sales activities to secure new customer assignments.
Adjustments to Fair Value of Contingent Consideration. During the three- and six- month periods ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, we have made adjustments to the estimated fair value of certain acquisition-related contingent consideration liabilities. We remeasure the estimated carrying value of contingent consideration each quarter, with any changes (income or expense) in the estimated fair value recorded as an operating expense. Changes in the carrying value of contingent consideration liabilities may fluctuate significantly in future periods depending on changes in estimates, including probabilities associated with achieving the milestones and the period in which we estimate these milestones will be achieved.
Non-Routine Professional Services-Related Expenses. During fiscal 2011 and the first six months of 2012, we incurred certain non-routine professional service-related expenses associated with our identification of embezzlement activities at Fullscope, one of our wholly-owned subsidiaries (the Fullscope Embezzlement Issue). We incurred a majority of our embezzlement-related expenses during fiscal 2010 in connection with our identification and investigation of the embezzlement activity.
During the second quarter of 2012, the Company increased the previously recorded accrual for pre-acquisition sales and use tax exposure by $550 thousand. As of June 30, 2012, the adjusted accrual for pre-acquisition sales and use tax exposure is estimated at $1.5 million. The potential sales and use tax-related liability was created by the methods employed by a former employee of Fullscope to conceal the discovered fraudulent activity. While the Company has
17
accounted for this liability as a period expense, we believe that any amounts actually paid to resolve this issue will be recoverable from an existing, fully funded escrow account in the amount of $4.6 million, which was established in connection with our acquisition of Fullscope. Future amounts recovered, if any, will be recorded by the Company in the period in which the amounts are determined to be probable of recovery from escrow.
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. 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.
Company Performance Measurement Systems and Metrics. The Companys 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 managements overall performance. These metrics and indicators are discussed in more detail under Results for the Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2012, Compared to Results for the Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2011, included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Revenue. Total revenue decreased by $(209) thousand, or (0.8)%, to $27.2 million for the three-month period ended June 30, 2012, compared to total revenue of $27.4 million in the three-month period ended June 30, 2011. Total revenue increased by $1.5 million, or 2.9%, to $52.5 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2012, compared to total revenue of $51.0 million in the six-month period ended June 30, 2011. With respect to the comparative changes in year-over-year total revenue, service revenue increased by $3.0 million, or 15.9%, and $5.0 million, or 13.2%, in the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2012, respectively. Software revenue represented a $(1.1) million and $(1.3) million decrease in the year-over-year comparison of the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2012, respectively.
Our year-over-year 2012 first and second quarter service revenue growth is entirely organic. Additionally, total revenue during the three- and six- month periods ended June 30, 2012 excludes service revenue and royalty revenue generated under the Fullscope process contracts, which expired in June of 2011.
The year-over-year improvement in 2012 second quarter and year-to-date service revenue is the result of continued growth within our product-based service offerings and, to a lesser extent, increases in our business advisory and support services revenue. The combination of a strong Oracle-based EPM pipeline and an increase in 2011 Microsoft Dynamics-based ERP product sales provided the catalyst for our second quarter service revenue growth on a year-over-year quarterly basis.
19
On a sequential quarterly basis, service revenue in the second quarter of 2012 decreased by $(209) thousand, or (1.0)%, compared to the first quarter of 2012. Delays in the signing and starting of new project engagements in each of our service offerings led to a sequential decline in billable consultant utilization during the second quarter of 2012, reducing second quarter service revenue.
We believe the delays in the signing and initiation of new projects is reflective of uncertainty in the marketplace. While some customers are pushing out start dates to the near future, we do not see a significant pullback in spending. We believe the pipeline for our service offerings remains active and we are continuing to drive current opportunities to closure.
Utilization, which is the rate at which we are able to generate revenue from our consultants, increased to 73.2% during the second quarter of 2012 compared to 72.2% during the second quarter of 2011. Our second quarter utilization decreased in comparison to our first quarter of 2012 of 75.4%. The sequential quarterly decrease in utilization was primarily the result of delays in the start of new project engagements, as described above.
Annualized service revenue per billable consultant, as adjusted for utilization, was $362 thousand and $357 thousand during the three- and six- month periods ended June 30, 2012, an increase from our annualized service revenue per billable consultant of $332 thousand and $329 thousand during the comparative 2011 periods. The increase in the annualized service revenue rate is largely attributable to a higher concentration of revenue being generated by our Oracle-based EPM service offerings.
During the three- and six- month periods ended June 30, 2012, software revenue totaled $3.6 million and $5.0 million, or 13.3% and 9.5% of total revenue, respectively, compared to software revenue of $4.7 million and $6.3 million, or 17.3% and 12.4%, in the three- and six- month periods ended June 30, 2011, respectively. Our software revenue is primarily related to our resale of Microsoft Dynamics AX ERP software. We believe that the comparative decrease in 2012 periodic software revenue is the result of extended sales cycles attributable to the hesitancy of customers to launch transformational projects, such as ERP replacement initiatives. We believe this to be directly related to customer concern with respect to uncertainty and instability in the marketplace. Software revenue is expected to fluctuate on a periodic basis dependent upon our customers demand for such third-party off-the-shelf software. We anticipate that software revenue will continue to be a significant component of our quarterly and annual revenues in future periods.
Our gross margins related to software revenue have generally been much lower than those achieved on our consulting services. Our ERP-related software revenue, which represents the majority of our 2011, 2012 and anticipated future software revenue, has historically been sold at a higher margin than our Oracle EPM-related software. Because software revenue has become a more significant percentage of our total revenue, periodic fluctuations in the amount of software revenue recognized by the Company may have a material impact upon our gross margins.
In June 2012, Microsoft agreed to purchase Edgewater Fullscopes Process Industries 2 (PI2) software and intellectual property for an aggregate of $3.25 million, payable in installments (the Microsoft IP Sale). Also, Microsoft will engage Edgewater Fullscope in additional development and training services during the integration of the software module into Microsofts ERP solution for enterprises, Microsoft Dynamics AX. Our future quarterly revenue will be influenced by our recognition of both proceeds related to the IP sale and service revenue generated under the development and training service agreements. We will recognize revenue associated with the Microsoft IP Sale in direct proportion to the actual periodic services performed, as compared to the anticipated development services to be performed over the duration of the agreement.
During the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2011, we recognized $2.3 million and $3.2 million, respectively, in combined service and royalty revenue from Fullscopes process contracts. As per the terms of the earnout agreement, our obligation ended on June 30, 2011 concurrent with the termination of the service and royalty revenue generated by the process contracts. No revenues have been generated under the process contracts since June 2011, and the Company does not anticipate that any future revenue will be generated under the process contracts.
Generally, we are reimbursed for our out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with our customers consulting projects. Reimbursed expense revenue increased approximately $153 thousand, to $2.0 million for the three-month period ended June 30, 2012, as compared to $1.8 million in the comparative 2011 quarterly period. Similarly, reimbursed expense revenue increased approximately $476 thousand, to $4.1 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2012, as compared to $3.6 million in the comparative 2011 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.
20
The number of customers the Company served during the six-month period ended June 30, 2012 totaled 326, as compared to 324 customers during the six-month period ended June 30, 2011. During the first six months of 2012, we had 54 new customer engagements, compared to 63 new customer engagements during the first six months of 2011.
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 $1.2 million, or 7.0%, to $17.7 million for the three-month period ended June 30, 2012 compared to $16.6 million in the comparative 2011 quarterly period. Similarly, cost of revenue increased by $2.9 million, or 9.1%, to $34.4 million during the year-to-date period ended June 30, 2012 compared to $31.6 million in the comparative 2011 year-to-date period.
The primary drivers of the 2012 year-over-year quarterly increase in cost of revenue, on an absolute dollar basis, were the growth in billable headcount necessary to support our service revenue growth and an increase in fringe-related expenses attributable to the growth in billable headcount. The Company maintained 299 billable consultants (excluding contractors) as of the quarter ended June 30, 2012 compared to 278 billable consultants (excluding contractors) at the end of the comparative prior-year quarter.
We have utilized contractors to support our service delivery needs as a direct result of growth within our product-based service offerings. Contractor expense totaled $975 thousand during the three-month period ended June 30, 2012 compared to $944 thousand during the three-month period ended June 30, 2011. Contractor expense totaled $2.0 million and $1.9 million during the six-month periods ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively.
Project and personnel costs represented 48.0% and 50.8% of total revenue during the three- and six- month periods ended June 20, 2012, respectively, as compared to 43.3% and 47.1% of total revenue during the three- and six- month periods ended June 30, 2011, respectively. The increase in project and personnel costs, as a percentage of total revenue, was driven primarily by the compensation-related costs (salaries and fringe-related expenses) associated with the billable consultant headcount growth in the quarter.
Software costs amounted to $2.7 million and $3.7 million during the three- and six- month periods ended June 30, 2012, respectively. 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 are expected to fluctuate between quarters depending on our customers demand for software. Reimbursable expenses increased to $2.0 million and $4.1 million for the three- and six- month periods ended June 30, 2012, respectively, as compared to $1.8 million and $3.6 million in the comparative quarterly periods of 2011, respectively.
Gross Profit. During the three-month period ended June 30, 2012, total gross profit of $9.5 million decreased compared with total gross profit of $10.8 million in the three-month period ended June 30, 2011. Similarly, during the six-month period ended June 30, 2012, total gross profit of $18.0 million decreased compared to total gross profit of $19.4 million in the six-month period ended June 30, 2011. For purposes of further analysis, we refer to gross profit as a percentage of revenue generally as gross margin.
Total gross margin, as a percentage of total revenue, decreased to 34.8% in the second quarter of 2012 compared to 39.5% in the comparative 2011 quarterly period. Similarly, total gross margin decreased to 34.4% in the six-month period ended June 30, 2012 compared to 38.0% in the comparative 2011 year-to-date period. The comparative year-over-year periodic decreases in total gross margin are directly related to the incremental salary and fringe-related expenses from the growth in our billable consultant headcount, the absence of $2.7 million of Fullscopes process-related royalty revenue, and the lost gross margin contribution associated with the decrease of $1.3 million in software revenue.
During the first half of 2012, we increased billable consultant headcount by 12 consultants. The increase in billable consultants is reflective of the growth in our service revenue, as well as anticipated work to be performed under the Microsoft IP Sale. Given the time required to train and deploy newly hired consultants, we elected to hire and train consultants in our Oracle-based EPM and Microsoft Dynamics-based ERP service offerings ahead of anticipated demand.
Service revenue gross margins increased to 39.5% in the second quarter of 2012 compared to 36.3% in the comparative 2011 quarterly period. Service revenue gross margin increased to 38.4% in the six-month period ended June 30, 2012
21
compared to 37.4% in the comparative 2011 year-to-date period. The increase in service gross margin for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2012 is primarily reflective of the periodic growth in year-over-year service revenue and, to a lesser extent, the slight increase in second quarter 2012 billable consultant utilization rates in conjunction with the overall increase in billable consultant headcount and the year-over-year improvement in our annualized revenue per billable consultant.
We anticipate that our future quarterly gross margins may be influenced by incremental gross margin contributions generated by the IP and the service revenue under the Microsoft IP Sale.
Selling, General and Administrative (SG&A) Expenses. As a percentage of revenue, SG&A expenses were 31.5% during the three- and six- month periods ended June 30, 2012 compared to 34.5% and 33.3% in the comparative 2011 quarterly periods. On an absolute dollar-basis, SG&A expenses decreased by $(892) thousand and $(468) thousand, or (9.4)% and (2.8)%, to $8.6 million and $16.5 million in the three- and six- month periods ended June 30, 2012, respectively, compared to SG&A expenses of $9.4 million and $17.0 million in the three- and six- month period ended June 30, 2011, respectively.
The periodic year-over-year decreases in SG&A expense in the comparative three and six month periods of 2012 are in large part driven by the current year absence of the $1.4 million contingent earnout consideration expense recorded in the second quarter of 2011 related to the Fullscope acquisition earnout. The Fullscope earnout was completed during 2011 and therefore no such expense was recorded in the current year. This decrease was partially offset by the second quarter 2012 increase to the pre-acquisition potential sales and use tax accrual of $550 thousand and increases in salary and commission-related expenses in connection with 2012 sales headcount and revenue growth.
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 may be able to recover some, if not all, of the expenses we incur in addressing this situation. Amounts recovered and/or reimbursed, if any, in connection with this matter will be recorded in the period during which amounts are determined to be probable of recovery from escrow.
Depreciation and Amortization Expense. Depreciation and amortization expense decreased $(264) thousand, or (37.1)%, to $448 thousand in the quarter ended June 30, 2012 as compared to $712 thousand in the quarter ended June 30, 2011. Similarly, depreciation and amortization decreased $(525) thousand, or (37.1)%, to $890 thousand in the six-month period ended June 30, 2012 compared to $1.4 million in the comparative 2011 year-to-date period.
Amortization expense was $241 thousand and $482 thousand during the three- and six- month periods ended June 30, 2012, respectively, compared to amortization expense of $486 thousand and $975 thousand in the three- and six- month periods ended June 30, 2011, respectively. The decrease in amortization expense during the first half of 2012 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 and 2011.
Depreciation expense was $207 thousand and $408 thousand during the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2012, respectively, which was consistent with depreciation expense recognized during the comparative quarterly period of 2011.
Operating Income. Operating income for the second quarter of 2012 was $461 thousand, compared to operating income of $672 thousand in the comparative 2011 quarterly period. Similarly, operating income for the six-month period ended June 30, 2012 was $633 thousand compared to an operating income of $1.0 million in the comparative 2011 year-to-date period. The second quarter of 2012 fluctuation in operating results can be attributed to the year-over-year increases in service revenue, the absence of 2011 Fullscopes process-related royalty revenue, the absence of $1.4 million in expense associated with the second quarter 2011 increase in contingent earnout consideration, the second quarter 2012 $550 thousand increase in the accrual for potential sales and use tax exposure resulting from the Fullscope embezzlement issue, and fringe-related expenses due to the growth in billable consultant headcount. Each of these items is explained in further detail above.
Other Expense (Income), Net. Other expense, net, totaled $196 thousand and $105 thousand during the three-and six- month periods ended June 30, 2012, respectively, while other (income), net, totaled $(25) thousand and $(17) thousand during the comparative 2011 periods. These amounts primarily represent the Companys periodic foreign currency exchange gains and losses.
22
Income Tax Provision. We recorded a provision for income taxes of $131 thousand and $219 thousand during the three- and six- months ended June 30, 2012, respectively. We recorded a provision for income taxes of $302 thousand and $352 thousand during the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, respectively. Our periodic income tax provision amounts are derived based upon an effective income tax rate, inclusive of federal and state income taxes, of 41.5% and 33.3% during the six-month periods ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively.
Reported income tax expense during the comparative 2012 and 2011 quarterly periods also includes expense amounts attributable to unrecognized tax benefits, foreign income taxes, 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 Companys 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 in the period of the adjustment.
Net Income. We reported net income of $134 thousand and $309 thousand during the three- and six- month periods ended June 30, 2012, respectively, compared to a reported net income of $395 thousand and $705 thousand during the three-and six- month periods ended June 30, 2011, respectively. The current quarterly fluctuation in net income is primarily attributable to the comparative year-over-year changes in total revenue, including the 2012 growth in service revenue, the decrease in comparative software revenue and the absence of 2011 process-related royalty revenues. Additionally, fluctuations in comparative net income are reflective of increased compensation costs related to billable consultant headcount growth, the absence of $1.4 million in expense associated with the second quarter 2011 increase in contingent earnout consideration and the second quarter 2012 $550 thousand increase in the accrual for potential sales and use tax exposure resulting from the Fullscope embezzlement issue. Each of these items is explained in further detail above.

23
As of June 30, 2012, we had cash and cash equivalents of $8.9 million, a $1.4 million decrease from the December 31, 2011 balance of $10.3 million. The primary drivers of the decrease in cash during the first half of 2012 are payments related to the Companys 2011 performance-based bonus programs, 2012 insurance policy premiums, repurchases of the Companys common stock and to a lesser extent, purchases of property and equipment. Working capital, which is defined as current assets less current liabilities, increased to $17.5 million as of June 30, 2012, compared to $16.9 million as of December 31, 2011.
Historically, we have used our operating cash flows, available cash and periodic sales of our common stock to finance ongoing operations and business combinations. We believe that our cash and cash equivalents will be sufficient to finance our working capital needs for at least the next twelve months. We periodically reassess the adequacy of our liquidity position, taking into consideration current and anticipated operating cash flow, anticipated capital expenditures, and possible business combinations. 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.
Cash flow from operating activities is driven by collections of fees for our consulting services, reselling of software products and, to a lesser extent (until June 2011), the collection of royalties on software products sold to a third party. Cash used in operations predominantly relates to employee compensation and payments to third party software providers. Accrued payroll and related liabilities fluctuate from period to period based on the timing of our normal payroll cycle and the timing of variable compensation payments. Annual components of our variable compensation plans are paid in the first quarter of the following year, causing fluctuations in cash flow from quarter to quarter.
Accounts payable and accrued expenses are most significantly impacted by the timing of payments required to be made to third party software providers in connection with the resale of software products to our customers. Historically, a significant portion of our software sales have occurred at the end of the second quarter.
Net cash used in operating activities was $(508) thousand for the six-month period ended June 30, 2012, as compared to net cash provided by operating activities of $1.7 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2011. The primary components of operating cash flows during the first half of 2012 were the non-cash charges of $1.7 million (primarily depreciation, amortization and stock-based compensation expense) and net income of $309 thousand offset by the increase in accounts receivable of $4.4 million. The primary components of cash flows from operations for first half of 2011 were related to the increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses of $2.4 million (primarily related to payments owed to software partners in connection with our end of quarter product revenue deals) and non-cash charges of $3.5 million (primarily related to contingent earnout consideration, depreciation and amortization, change in fair value of contingent earnout consideration, and stock-based compensation expense). These 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 $1.4 million.
For the six-month period ended June 30, 2012, net cash used in investing activities was $(404) thousand, compared to net cash used in investing activities of $(432) thousand in the six-month period ended June 30, 2011. Cash used in investing activities in the six-month periods ended June 30, 2012 and 2011 included purchases of property and equipment and capitalized software development costs related to software to be used in the Microsoft Dynamics AX environment.
All capital expenditures are discretionary as the Company currently has no long-term commitments for capital expenditures.
Net cash used in financing activities was $(522) thousand in the six-month period ended June 30, 2012, compared to cash provided by financing activities of $161 thousand in the six-month period ended June 30, 2011. The 2012 activities were driven by the repurchase of common stock in the amount of $710 thousand, returning excess cash balances that were not being invested in organic operations or strategic acquisitions to stockholders, partially offset by $240 thousand received from our employees related to our Employee Stock Purchase Plan and stock option exercises. Financing activities in the six-month period ended June 30, 2011 consisted of proceeds received from our Employee Stock Purchase Plan.
Acquisitions, Earnout Payments and Commitments
We have entered into various contingent earnout agreements in connection with the acquisitions we have completed. Earnout periods, related performance measurements and the value of the contingent earnout consideration to be earned are specific to each acquisition. Contingent earnout consideration paid by the Company has historically been paid in either cash or a combination of cash and stock. As of June 30, 2012, the only ongoing earnout period is related to the Meridian Acquisition.
24
On May 17, 2010, the Company acquired substantially all of the assets of Meridian Consulting International. As provided for under the related purchase agreement, Meridians former stockholders are eligible to receive additional contingent consideration based upon performance-based thresholds, which will be determined, periodically, over a 36-month period from the date of acquisition. The Company increased total purchase price consideration by $1.2 million, which represented our initial fair value estimate of the contingent consideration to be paid to the former stockholders of Meridian. On a routine periodic basis, the Company reassesses the estimated fair value of contingent consideration and records any changes in fair value within selling, general and administrative expense in the period the change occurs. As of June 30, 2012, the Company maintains an accrual of $246 thousand related to the current fair value estimate of the contingent earnout consideration to be earned by the former Meridian stockholders. The maximum amount of contingent earnout consideration that the former stockholders of Meridian can earn during the final earnout period is capped at $917 thousand.
Off Balance Sheet Arrangements
The Company entered into lease financing arrangements (the Capital Lease Arrangements) related to certain property and equipment. Payments under the Capital Lease Arrangements were made over a period of 24 to 60 months and had interest rates that ranged between 6.0% and 17.0% per annum on the outstanding principle balances. As of June 30, 2012, the Company has no outstanding obligations under Capital Lease Arrangements. During the three- and six- month periods ended June 30, 2012, the Company made payments of principal and interest totaling $13 thousand and $52 thousand, respectively, under the Capital Lease Arrangements. During the three- and six- month periods ended June 30, 2011, the Company made payments of principal and interest totaling $37 thousand and $72 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 2011 Annual Report on Form 10-K, which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 12, 2012.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2011-5, Comprehensive Income and ASU 2011-12, Comprehensive Income require entities to elect the option to present the total of comprehensive income, the components of net income, and the components of other comprehensive income either in a single, continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. In both choices, an entity is required to present each component of net income along with total net income, each component of other comprehensive income along with a total for other comprehensive income, and a total amount for comprehensive income. This update eliminates the option to present the components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of changes in stockholders equity. The amendments in this update do not change the items that must be reported in other comprehensive income or when an item of other comprehensive income must be reclassified to net income. The ASU is effective prospectively for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 12, 2011. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on the Companys consolidated financial statements.
ASU 2011-04, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures requires expanded disclosure of certain fair value measurements categorized in Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. The ASU is effective prospectively for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years beginning after December 12, 2011.

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, 2011, which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 12, 2012 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 Risk Factors in our 2011 Annual Report on Form 10-K as filed with the SEC on March 12, 2012.
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 2012 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, anticipated, expectation, continued, future, forward, potential, estimate, estimated, forecast, project, encourage, opportunity, goal, objective, could, expect, expected, intend, plan, planned, or the negative of such terms or comparable terminology. 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 Enterprise Resource Planning and Enterprise Performance Management solutions, custom development and system integration services and/or declines in industry-wide information technology 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 geopolitical or technology market conditions; (6) unanticipated events or the occurrence of fluctuations or variability in the matters identified under Critical Accounting Policies; (7) delays in, or the failure of, our sales pipeline being converted to billable work and recorded as revenue; (8) termination by clients of their contracts with us or inability or unwillingness of clients to pay for our services, which may impact our accounting assumptions; (9) inability to recruit and retain professionals with the high level of information technology skills and experience needed to provide our services; (10) failure to expand outsourcing services to generate additional revenue; (11) any changes in ownership of the Company or otherwise that would result in a limitation of the net operating loss carry forward under applicable tax laws; (12) the failure of the marketplace to embrace advisory and product-based consulting services; and/or (13) failure to make a successful claim against the Fullscope escrow account. In evaluating these statements, you should specifically consider various factors described above as well as the risks outlined under Part I - Item IA Risk Factors in our 2011 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 12, 2012. 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 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, 2012 and 2011. Should interest rates on the Companys 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, 2012 and 2011.
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. 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 of the Companys disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this Report, that the Companys 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 Companys management as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Changes in Controls and Procedures
There were no changes in our internal control 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.
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, 2011 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). The Board subsequently amended the Stock Repurchase Program, authorizing both an increase to and an extension of the Stock Repurchase Program. The Stock Repurchase Program, as amended, had a maximum purchase value of shares of $8.5 million (the Purchase Authorization) and expired on September 23, 2011 (the Repurchase Period). On September 9, 2011, the Board approved both a $5.0 million increase to the Purchase Authorization, to $13.5 million, and an extension of the Repurchase Period to September 21, 2012.
In March 2012, the Board authorized a written trading plan under Rule 10b5-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 to facilitate the repurchase of its common stock pursuant to the Company's existing stock repurchase authorization (the 10b5-1 Plan).
The 10b5-1Plan became effective on March 15, 2012 and is scheduled to expire on September 21, 2012, unless terminated earlier in accordance with its terms. Purchases, if any, may not exceed the remaining shares available under the existing repurchase authorization.

3. | COVENANTS |
3.1 Delivery of the Acquired Assets.
3.1.1 Initial Conveyance. Within five (5) Business Days after the Effective Date, Seller shall deliver to Purchaser, via file transfer protocol or other means of electronic delivery to a server designated by Purchaser, any and all Acquired Assets existing as of the Effective Date and remediated pursuant to Section 3.2.2; provided, however, that Seller shall not have any obligation to deliver the code for the 2009 and prior versions of the Software. Within five (5) Business Days after such delivery, Seller shall confirm in writing to Purchaser that all Acquired Assets have been delivered to Purchaser in accordance with this Agreement (Sellers Delivery Confirmation). For the avoidance of doubt, although Seller is not required by this Agreement to deliver the code for the 2009 and prior versions of the Software to Purchaser, all Intellectual Property Rights related to the 2009 and prior versions of the Software are being sold, assigned, transferred and conveyed to Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement. Such transfer shall not be deemed to preclude Seller from using the code and applicable Documentation for the 2009 and prior versions of the Software, and Intellectual Property Rights licensed to Seller under the License Agreement, to the extent necessary for Seller to satisfy any support or similar obligations to any end user or to any partner, reseller, distributor, dealer or sales representative of Seller.

Purchaser shall have a period of five (5) Business Days after receipt of Sellers Delivery Confirmation to review the Acquired Assets for compliance with Sellers representations and warranties set forth in Section 2.1 and the other requirements of this Agreement.

3.2 Remediation.
3.2.1 Seller hereby certifies that it has delivered the most current version of the Software, in source code form, and Documentation to the Code Reviewer via file transfer protocol or other means of electronic delivery specified by Purchaser.
3.2.2 Seller shall take all corrective action and otherwise remediate the Software and Product Documentation in accordance with the Remediation Plan. Seller shall use its best commercially reasonable efforts to complete remediation of any issues in the Software and Product Documentation designated in the Remediation Plan with: (A) a priority level zero (P0) or priority level one (P1) (Initial Remediation) by the Closing Date or such other date agreed upon by the Parties; and (B) a priority level greater than priority level one (P1) in the Remediation Plan (Additional Remediation) no later than the Outside Date.
3.2.3 Upon completion of the Initial Remediation, Seller shall deliver to the Code Reviewer, via file transfer protocol or other means of electronic delivery to a server designated by Purchaser, a complete copy of the remediated Software, in source code form, and Product Documentation for verification that Seller has completed the Initial Remediation in accordance with the Remediation Plan. If the Code Reviewer reasonably determines that the Initial Remediation has been completed in accordance with the Remediation Plan, the Code Reviewer shall give the Parties written notice thereof. If the Code Reviewer reasonably determines that the Initial Remediation has not been completed in accordance with the Remediation Plan, then the Code Reviewer shall give the Parties written notice thereof, including a detailed description of the non-compliances and the action(s) required to correct the non-compliances. In such event, Seller shall use its best commercially reasonable efforts to promptly correct the non-compliances as indicated by the Code Reviewer, and resubmit the remediated Software to the Code Reviewer. Unless otherwise agreed upon by the Parties, this process shall be repeated until the Code Reviewer reasonably determines that the Initial Remediation has been completed in accordance with the Remediation Plan. Upon the Code Reviewers determination that the Initial Remediation has been completed in accordance with the Remediation Plan, then Seller shall deliver to Purchaser:
(a) | a true, correct and complete copy of the remediated Software via file transfer protocol or other means of electronic delivery specified by Purchaser; and |
(b) | a Remediation Certificate for the Initial Remediation duly executed by Seller. |
Purchaser shall be responsible for taking all necessary actions to ensure that the Code Reviewer does not unreasonably withhold or delay its determination that the Initial Remediation has been completed in accordance with the Remediation Plan.
3.2.4 Purchaser shall have a period of five (5) Business Days after receipt of the remediated Software, Documentation and the Remediation Certificate in accordance with Section 3.2.3 to review such remediated Software and Documentation for compliance with the Initial Remediation requirements of the Remediation Plan, Sellers representations and warranties set forth in Section 2.1 and the other requirements of this Agreement. If Purchaser gives Seller written notice of any non-compliance within such review period, then Seller shall use its best commercially reasonable efforts to promptly correct the non-compliance, and resubmit the corrected Software and/or Documentation to Purchaser. This process shall be repeated until Purchaser accepts the remediated Software and Documentation by giving Seller written notice thereof, which notice shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Further, if
Asset Purchase Agreement | Page 6 | |
Microsoft and Fullscope Confidential Information |
Purchaser does not give Seller written notice of any non-compliance within five (5) Business Days after receipt of any version of the remediated Software and Documentation under Section 3.2.3 or this Section 3.2.4, then Purchaser shall be deemed to have accepted such version of the Software and Documentation for purposes of this Section 3.2.4. Purchaser shall not unreasonably withhold or delay its acceptance of the Initial Remediation and confirmation that the Initial Remediation has been completed in accordance with the Remediation Plan. For the avoidance of doubt, acceptance under this Section 3.2.4 shall not constitute, or be interpreted or construed as, (a) Purchasers acknowledgement or agreement that the Software and/or Documentation is compliant with any of the requirements of this Agreement or (b) a waiver or other relinquishment, to any extent, of any right or remedy of Purchaser under any provision of this Agreement (including Sellers representations and warranties under Section 2.1), applicable law or otherwise.
3.2.5 Upon completion of the Additional Remediation, Seller shall deliver to Purchaser, via file transfer protocol or other means of electronic delivery to a server designated by Purchaser, a copy of those portions of the Software, in source code form, and Product Documentation that were remediated in the Additional Remediation, for verification that Seller has completed the Additional Remediation in accordance with the Remediation Plan. If Purchaser determines that the Additional Remediation has been completed in accordance with the Remediation Plan, Purchaser shall give Seller written notice thereof. If Purchaser determines that the Additional Remediation has not been completed in accordance with the Remediation Plan, then Purchaser shall give Seller written notice thereof, including a detailed description of the non-compliances and the action(s) required to correct the non-compliances. In such event, Seller shall use its best commercially reasonable efforts to promptly correct the non-compliances as indicated by Purchaser, and resubmit the remediated Software and Product Documentation to Purchaser. Unless otherwise agreed upon by the Parties, this process shall be repeated until Purchaser determines that the Additional Remediation has been completed in accordance with the Remediation Plan. Upon Purchasers determination that the Additional Remediation has been completed in accordance with the Remediation Plan, then Seller shall deliver to Purchaser:
(a) | a true, correct and complete copy of the remediated portions of the Software and Product Documentation via file transfer protocol or other means of electronic delivery specified by Purchaser; and |
(b) | a Remediation Certificate for the Additional Remediation duly executed by Seller. |
Purchaser shall not unreasonably withhold or delay its determination that the Additional Remediation has been completed in accordance with the Remediation Plan.

Neither Party shall have any obligation to agree upon any such additional Statements of Work or any obligation under any Statement of Work proposed by either Party unless and until the Parties have mutually agreed upon terms and conditions acceptable to each Party, executed and delivered the additional Statements of Work in writing.

Seller shall have no obligation to resume such work until additional funding has been authorized in writing by Purchaser.
3.3.4 Unless another schedule for performance of any Transition Services is set forth in the applicable SOW, Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to complete all Transition Services within [***].

Without limitation of the foregoing, Seller shall ensure the termination of any and all rights of any third party (including Sellers partners, resellers, distributors, dealers and sales representatives) authorized by or through Seller to promote, market or sell licenses or services for any Seller Product or other Software. Seller shall refrain from increased promotion, price changes or discounting of the Seller Products beyond historical averages.

Within five (5) Business Days after such destruction, Seller shall provide Purchaser with a written document, signed by an officer of Seller, certifying such destruction. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller may retain one (1) copy of each version of the Software for archival and recordkeeping purposes, subject to the other terms and conditions of this Agreement.
3.5 Communication Plan. The Parties shall use good faith efforts to prepare and agree upon a plan for communication of the purchase and sale of the Acquired Assets under this Agreement, the discontinuation of all versions of the Software, the launch of the Purchaser Product and the transition of the Software from the Seller to the Purchaser (including any communications with the public, Sellers customers, partners, resellers, distributors, dealers and sales representatives and Governmental Entities). The communication plan shall include any filing by Seller or its Affiliates with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) or other Governmental Entity and any press release or other public announcement agreed to in writing by the Parties. However, the foregoing shall not be deemed to prohibit, restrict or limit in any fashion any filing by Seller or its Affiliates with, or disclosure to, the SEC or any other Governmental Entity which is required by Applicable Law. In the event of any filing or disclosure required by Applicable Law, the Party required to file or disclose shall give the other Party reasonable advance notice thereof, unless not otherwise legally permitted, and, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law and reasonably requested by such other Party, seek confidential treatment and/or other protection of the Confidential Information of such other Party.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, or anything else to the contrary contained in this Agreement or any of the schedules hereto, Seller may use the terms Process Industries and/or Chemical Accelerator, or any derivations thereof, so long as the same does not in any manner reference the Software or the Purchaser Product or attempt to use such terms for an add-on, follow-on, update or version of the Software or the Purchaser Product.

(d) If the Committee determines that such termination is for Cause, all Options held by the Grantee shall immediately terminate. In addition, all Options granted on the basis of clause (ii) of Section 2(f), Section 2(i) or Section 2(u) shall immediately terminate if the Committee determines, in its sole discretion, that the Consultant, Employee, or Subsidiary, as the case may be, will not become a Consultant, Employee or Subsidiary within the meaning of clause (i) of such Sections.

(f) Subject to the provisions of Section 6(e), the sale of any Subsidiary shall be treated as a termination of employment with respect to any Grantee employed by such Subsidiary.
(g) Subject to the foregoing, in the event of death, Options may be exercised by a Grantees legal representative. Options transferred pursuant to Section 14 may also be exercised by a permitted holder.

SECTION 11. RESTRICTIONS ON ISSUING SHARES. The Corporation shall not be obligated to deliver Stock upon the exercise or settlement of any Grant or take other actions under the Plan until the Corporation shall have determined that applicable federal and state laws, rules, and regulations have been complied with and such approvals of any regulatory or
8
governmental agency have been obtained and contractual obligations to which the Grant may be subject have been satisfied. The Corporation, in its discretion, may postpone the issuance or delivery of Stock under any Grant until completion of such stock exchange listing or registration or qualification of such Stock or other required action under any federal or state law, rule, or regulation as the Corporation may consider appropriate, and may require any Grantee to make such representations and furnish such information as it may consider appropriate in connection with the issuance or delivery of Stock under the Plan.
SECTION 12. TAX WITHHOLDING. To the extent required by applicable federal, state, local or foreign law, a Grantee shall make arrangements satisfactory to the Corporation for the satisfaction of any withholding tax obligations that arise by reason of an Option exercise or any sale of shares. The Corporation shall not be required to issue shares until such obligations are satisfied. The Committee may permit these obligations to be satisfied by having the Corporation withhold the minimum applicable amounts from a portion of the shares of the Stock that otherwise would be issued to the Grantee, or to the extent permitted, by tendering shares previously acquired.
SECTION 13. DEFERRAL OF RECEIPT OF STOCK. Effective upon the amendment of the Corporations deferred compensation plan to expressly permit deferrals under this Section 13, a Grantee may, pursuant to the terms of such plan, as amended, defer receipt of Stock that would otherwise be delivered to such Grantee upon the exercise or settlement of any Option.
SECTION 14. TRANSFERABILITY.
(a) Except as provided below, no Grant shall be subject to anticipation, sale, assignment, pledge, encumbrance, charge or transfer except by will or the laws of descent and distribution, and an Option shall be exercisable during the Grantees lifetime only by the Grantee.
(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee may provide, in a Stock Option Agreement, that the Grantee may transfer Options to family members or other persons or entities according to such terms as the Committee may determine; provided that the Grantee receives no consideration for the transfer of the Option and the transferred Option shall continue to be subject to the same terms and conditions as were applicable to the Option immediately before the transfer.
SECTION 15. NON-COMPETITION. If the Grantee breaches any non-competition agreement in effect with the Corporation or its Subsidiaries, all of the Grantees outstanding Grants shall immediately terminate, and the Corporation may require that the Grantee pay to the Corporation or its Subsidiaries (in Stock or cash) an amount equal to any gain arising from the exercise of Options during the forfeiture period. The forfeiture period is the period beginning on the date that is six months before the Grantees termination of employment or service with the Corporation and its Subsidiaries and ending upon the termination of such non-competition agreement.

(a) Each Grant shall be evidenced by a Grant instrument. The terms and provisions of such instruments may vary among Grantees and among different Grants granted to the same Grantee.
(b) A Grant in any year shall not give the Grantee any right to similar grants in future years, any right to continue such Grantees employment relationship with the Corporation or its Subsidiaries, or, until such unrestricted share certificates are issued, any rights as a stockholder of the Corporation. All Grantees shall remain subject to discharge to the same extent as if the Plan were not in effect.
(c) No Grantee, and no beneficiary or other persons claiming under or through the Grantee shall have any right, title or interest by reason of any Grant to any particular assets of the Corporation or its Subsidiaries, or any shares of Stock allocated or reserved for the purposes of the Plan or subject to any Grant except as set forth herein. The Corporation shall not be required to establish any fund or make any other segregation of assets to assure the payment of any Grant.
(d) The issuance of shares of Stock to Grantees, their legal representatives or other permitted holders shall be subject to any applicable taxes and other laws or regulations of the United States or of any state having jurisdiction thereof.
SECTION 17. AMENDMENT OR TERMINATION. The Board may, at any time, alter, amend, suspend, discontinue or terminate this Plan; provided, however, that no such action shall materially impair the rights of Grantees to Grants previously granted hereunder and, provided further, however, that any shareholder approval necessary or desirable in order to comply with other applicable law or regulation shall be obtained in the manner required therein. The Committee may waive any conditions or rights under, or amend, alter, suspend, discontinue, or terminate, any Grant theretofore granted and any Agreement relating thereto; provided, however, that, without the consent of an affected Grantee, no such action may materially impair the rights of such Grantee under such Grant. Upon termination of the Plan the Committee may (i) require that Grantees surrender their outstanding Options in exchange for a payment by the Corporation, in cash or Stock as determined by the Committee, in an amount equal to the amount by which the then Fair Market Value of the shares of Stock subject to the Grantees unexercised vested Options exceeds the exercise price of such Options or (ii) after giving Grantees an opportunity to exercise their unexercised vested Options, terminate any or all outstanding Options at such time as the Committee deems appropriate.
SECTION 18. EFFECTIVE DATE OF PLAN. This amended and restated Plan is effective upon the earlier of: (i) the date the Corporation receives notification from The Nasdaq Stock Market, Inc. that amendments to the Plan to provide option grants to Non-Employee Directors do not require the approval of the stockholders of the Corporation, or (ii) its approval by the stockholders of the Corporation. This Plan shall continue in effect until terminated by the Board. This Plan was originally adopted by the Board on August 31, 2000.
