Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

 

June 30, 2011

(Unaudited)

 

(1)                     Basis of Presentation

 

GP Strategies Corporation (the “Company”) was incorporated in Delaware in 1959. The Company’s business consists of its training, engineering, technical services and consulting business operated by General Physics Corporation (“General Physics” or “GP”).  General Physics is a workforce development company that seeks to improve the effectiveness of organizations by providing training, management consulting, e-Learning solutions, engineering and technical services that are customized to meet the specific needs of clients.

 

The accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2011, the condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, and the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 have not been audited, but have been prepared in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2010, as presented in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010. In the opinion of management, this interim information includes all material adjustments, which are of a normal and recurring nature, necessary for a fair presentation. The results for the 2011 interim period are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the entire year. Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to current year presentation.

 

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the operations of the Company and its subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.

 

(2)                     Significant Customers & Concentration of Credit Risk

 

The Company has a concentration of revenue from General Motors and its affiliates (“General Motors”) as well as a market concentration in the automotive sector. For the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, revenue from General Motors accounted for approximately 10% and 12%, respectively, of the Company’s consolidated revenue, and revenue from the automotive industry accounted for approximately 18% and 19%, respectively, of the Company’s consolidated revenue. No other customer accounted for more than 10% of the Company’s revenue during the six months ended June 30, 2011 or accounts receivable as of June 30, 2011.

 

The Company also has a concentration of revenue from the United States government. For the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, sales to the United States government and its agencies represented approximately 17% and 22%, respectively, of the Company’s consolidated revenue. Revenue was derived from many separate contracts with a variety of government agencies that are regarded by the Company as separate customers.

(3)                     Earnings Per Share

 

Basic earnings per share (EPS) is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period.  Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution of common stock equivalent shares that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock.

 

The Company’s dilutive common stock equivalent shares consist of restricted stock units and stock options to purchase shares of common stock computed under the treasury stock method, using the average market price during the period. The following table presents instruments which were not dilutive and were excluded from the computation of diluted EPS in each period, as well as the dilutive common stock equivalent shares which were included in the computation of diluted EPS:

RWD Technologies

 

On April 15, 2011, General Physics completed the acquisition of certain assets of the consulting business of RWD Technologies, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, and certain of its subsidiaries (collectively, “RWD”). RWD is a provider of human capital management and IT consulting services, business transformation and lean process improvement, end-user training, change management, knowledge management and operator effectiveness management solutions in industries such as manufacturing, energy, automotive, aerospace, healthcare, life sciences, consumer products, financial, telecommunications, services and higher education as well as the public sector. General Physics paid $27,980,000 at closing, which was financed with $20,380,000 of cash on hand and $7,600,000 of borrowings under its revolving credit facility. The purchase price is subject to adjustment based on final determination of the working capital of the acquired business as of the closing date in accordance with the Asset Purchase Agreement. As of the date of this report, the Company estimates that a $2,505,000 payment will be due from the seller based on the working capital per the balance sheet as of the acquisition date. The purchase price adjustment is expected to be finalized and paid during the third quarter of 2011.

Communication Consulting

 

On February 1, 2011, General Physics, through its wholly-owned subsidiaries GP Worldwide Hong Kong Limited and GP (Shanghai) Consulting Co., Ltd., acquired the training business and certain related assets of Cathay/Communication Consulting Limited (“Communication Consulting”), a Hong Kong-based training and consulting company with offices in Shanghai and Beijing, China, and Haryana (New Delhi) in India. Communication Consulting designs and delivers customized training solutions and specializes in the areas of leadership, communication skills, sales and customer service training. General Physics paid approximately $1,380,000 in cash at closing. In addition, the purchase agreement requires General Physics to pay $125,000 upon the completion of certain post-closing matters and up to an additional $700,000 of contingent consideration, which would be payable subsequent to each of the two twelve-month periods following completion of the acquisition, contingent upon the achievement of certain revenue targets during those periods, as defined in the purchase agreement. The total estimated fair value of the purchase price on the date of acquisition was $1,492,000 and consisted of the upfront cash payment of $1,380,000 and $112,000 of estimated contingent consideration. The purchase price allocation consisted of $16,000 of fixed assets, $1,086,000 of goodwill and $390,000 of intangible assets to be amortized over five years from the acquisition date. The acquired Communication Consulting business is included in the Manufacturing & BPO segment and the results of its operations have been included in the consolidated financial statements since February 1, 2011. The pro-forma impact of the acquisition is not material to the Company’s results of operations.

Contingent Consideration

 

Effective January 1, 2009, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 805, which requires that contingent consideration be recognized at fair value on the acquisition date, and re-measured each reporting period with subsequent adjustments recognized in the consolidated statement of operations. The Company estimates the fair value of contingent consideration liabilities based on financial projections of the acquired companies and estimated probabilities of achievement and discounts the liabilities to present value using a weighted-average cost of capital. Contingent consideration is valued using significant inputs that are not observable in the market which are defined as Level 3 inputs pursuant to fair value measurement accounting. The Company believes its estimates and assumptions are reasonable, however, there is significant judgment involved. At each reporting date, the contingent consideration obligation is revalued to estimated fair value, and changes in fair value subsequent to the acquisitions are reflected in income or expense in the consolidated statements of operations, and could cause a material impact to, and volatility in, the Company’s operating results. Changes in the fair value of contingent consideration obligations may result from changes in discount periods, changes in the timing and amount of revenue and/or earnings estimates and changes in probability assumptions with respect to the likelihood of achieving the various earn-out criteria.

(7)                     Short-Term Borrowings

 

General Physics has a $35 million Financing and Security Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with a bank that expires on October 31, 2013 with annual renewal options. The Credit Agreement is secured by certain assets of General Physics and provides for an unsecured guaranty from the Company. The maximum interest rate on the Credit Agreement is the daily LIBOR market index rate plus 2.25%. Based upon the financial performance of General Physics, the interest rate can be reduced. For the three months ended June 30, 2011, the rate was LIBOR plus 1.25%. The Credit Agreement contains covenants with respect to General Physics’ minimum tangible net worth, total liabilities to tangible net worth ratio and interest coverage ratio. General Physics was in compliance with all loan covenants under the Credit Agreement as of June 30, 2011. The Credit Agreement also contains certain restrictive covenants regarding future acquisitions, incurrence of debt and the payment of dividends. The Credit Agreement permits General Physics to provide the Company up to $10,000,000 of cash to repurchase shares of its outstanding common stock in the open market. There was $6,562,000 remaining available for future share repurchases under the $10,000,000 authorized amount as of June 30, 2011. General Physics is otherwise currently restricted from paying dividends or management fees to the Company in excess of $1,000,000 in any year.

 

As of June 30, 2011, there were $6,521,000 of borrowings outstanding and $27,727,000 of available borrowings under the Credit Agreement, based upon 80% of eligible accounts receivable and 80% of eligible unbilled receivables.

(8)                     Income Taxes

 

An uncertain tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return is recognized in the financial statements when it is more likely than not (i.e., a likelihood of more than fifty percent) that the position would be sustained upon examination by tax authorities that have full knowledge of all relevant information. A recognized tax position is then measured at the largest amount of benefit that is greater than fifty percent likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. Interest and penalties related to income taxes are accounted for as income tax expense.

 

As of June 30, 2011, the Company had $2,218,000 of unrecognized tax benefits, all of which would impact the effective tax rate if recognized. The Company does not expect any material changes to its uncertain tax positions in the next twelve months. For the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, the Company recognized $24,000 and $23,000, respectively, of interest expense related to these tax positions. For the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, the Company recognized $42,000 and $46,000, respectively, of interest expense related to these tax positions which is reflected as income tax expense in the consolidated statements of operations. As of June 30, 2011, the Company had $208,000 of accrued interest related to these tax positions. The Company and its subsidiaries file income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, and various state and foreign jurisdictions. With few exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal, state and local, or non-U.S. income tax examination by tax authorities for years prior to 2002.

(11)              Business Segments

 

As of June 30, 2011, the Company operated through five reportable business segments: (i) Manufacturing & Business Process Outsourcing (“BPO”), (ii) Process & Government, (iii) Energy, (iv) Sandy Training & Marketing, and (v) RWD. The Company is organized by operating group primarily based upon the markets served by each group and the services performed. The Company’s Manufacturing & BPO segment represents an aggregation of certain operating groups, while the other reportable segments each represent one operating segment. In connection with the acquisition of RWD on April 15, 2011, a portion of the acquired business constitutes a separate reportable segment which is named RWD, and certain other business units of RWD are included in the Manufacturing & BPO and Sandy Training & Marketing segments.

 

Further information regarding our business segments is discussed below.

 

Manufacturing & BPO. The Manufacturing & BPO segment delivers training, curriculum design and development, staff augmentation, e-Learning services, system hosting, integration and help desk support, training business process outsourcing, and consulting and technical services primarily to large companies in the electronics and semiconductors, steel, healthcare, pharmaceutical, software, petrochemical, financial and other industries as well as to government agencies. This segment’s ability to deliver a wide range of training services allows it to take over the entire learning function for the client, including their training personnel.

 

Process & Government. The Process & Government segment has over four decades of experience providing consulting, engineering, technical and training services, including emergency preparedness, safety and regulatory compliance, chemical demilitarization and environmental services primarily to federal and state government agencies and large government contractors. This segment also provides design and construction of alternative fuel stations, including liquefied natural gas (“LNG”) and hydrogen fueling stations.

 

Energy. The Energy segment provides engineering services, products and training primarily to electric power utilities. The Company’s proprietary EtaProTM Performance Monitoring and Optimization System provides a suite of performance solutions for power generation plants and is installed at approximately 800 power generating units in over 30 countries. In addition, this segment provides web-based training through our GPiLearnTM portal to over 30,000 power plant personnel in the U.S. and in over 40 countries.

Sandy Training & Marketing. The Sandy segment provides custom product sales training and has been a leader in serving manufacturing customers in the U.S. automotive industry for over 30 years. Sandy provides custom product sales training designed to better educate customer sales forces with respect to new product features and designs, in effect rapidly increasing the sales force knowledge base and enabling them to address detailed customer queries. Furthermore, Sandy helps our clients assess their customer relationship marketing strategy, measure performance against competitors and connect with their customers on a one-to-one basis. This segment also provides technical training services to automotive customers.

 

RWD. The RWD segment represents a portion of the consulting business acquired from RWD in April 2011. Certain of the other RWD business units are managed within the Manufacturing & BPO and Sandy Training & Marketing segments discussed above. The RWD segment provides human capital management and IT consulting services, business transformation and lean process improvement, end-user training, change management, knowledge management and operator effectiveness management solutions in industries such as manufacturing, aerospace, healthcare, life sciences, consumer products, financial, telecommunications, services and higher education as well as the public sector.

 

The Company does not allocate the following corporate items to the segments: other income and interest expense; GP Strategies’ selling, general and administrative expense; gain (loss) on change in fair value of contingent consideration; gain on reversal of deferred rent liability; and income tax expense.  Inter-segment revenue is eliminated in consolidation and is not significant.

(12)              Leases

 

In 2008, General Physics entered into a sublease with Lear Corporation (“Lear”) for approximately 60,000 square feet of space in an office building in Troy, Michigan for a term scheduled to end in March 2015.  Lear filed a voluntary petition under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code in 2009 and subsequently obtained court approval to reject both General Physics’ sublease and the superior lease under which the sublease was made. In May 2010, General Physics filed a complaint in U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan seeking a declaratory judgment regarding its status as an occupant of the space and its obligation to pay rent.  General Physics sought unsuccessfully to enter into a direct lease with the building owner. The building owner, Osprey-Troy Officentre, LLC (“Osprey”), claimed rights through Lear and threatened legal action if General Physics vacated the building and ceased to pay rent under the sublease.  General Physics believed that the sublease was terminated and that it was a tenant-at-sufferance in the building, no longer bound by the sublease and obligated to pay only the reasonable rental value of the space it occupied.  Osprey asked the Court to deny the relief requested by General Physics and argued that the sublease constituted an assignment by Lear to General Physics of Lear’s lease of the portion of the building occupied by General Physics.  Both parties filed motions for summary judgment.

 

In June 2011, prior to a court ruling on this matter, General Physics entered into a new lease directly with Osprey for a term scheduled to end in March 2018, with an option to terminate on or after May 31, 2016 with 180 days prior written notice. Prior to entering into the new lease with Osprey, the Company had a deferred rent liability on its balance sheet of $1,041,000, which represented the difference between the actual monthly rent owed to date and the rent expense recognized on a straight-line basis for the scheduled rent increases over the term of the original sublease. Upon entering into the new lease with Osprey, the Company reversed the deferred rent liability associated with the terminated sublease. As a result, the Company recognized a net gain of $1,041,000 in the consolidated statement of operations during the quarter ended June 30, 2011.

Results of Operations

 

General Overview

 

Our business consists of our principal operating subsidiary, General Physics, a global training, engineering, technical services and consulting company that seeks to improve the effectiveness of organizations by providing training, management consulting, e-Learning solutions, engineering and technical services and products that are customized to meet the specific needs of clients. Clients include Fortune 500 companies and manufacturing, process and energy companies and other commercial and governmental customers. We believe we are a global leader in performance improvement, with over four decades of experience in providing solutions to optimize workforce performance.

 

As of June 30, 2011, we operated through five reportable business segments: (i) Manufacturing & BPO, (ii) Process & Government, (iii) Energy, (iv) Sandy Training & Marketing, and (v) RWD. We are organized by operating group, primarily based upon the markets served by each group and the services performed. Each operating group consists of strategic business units (“SBUs”) and business units (“BUs”) which are focused on providing specific products and services to certain classes of customers or within targeted markets. Across operating groups, SBUs and BUs, we integrate similar service lines, technology, information, work products, client management and other resources. Communications and market research, accounting, finance, legal, human resources, information systems and other administrative services are organized at the corporate level. Business development and sales resources are aligned with operating groups to support existing customer accounts and new customer development. Our Manufacturing & BPO segment represents an aggregation of certain operating groups, while the other reportable segments each represent one operating segment. In connection with the acquisition of RWD on April 15, 2011, a portion of the acquired business constitutes a separate reportable segment which is named RWD, and certain other business units of RWD are included in the Manufacturing & BPO and Sandy Training & Marketing segments.

 

Further information regarding each business segment is discussed below.

 

Manufacturing & BPO. The Manufacturing & BPO segment delivers training, curriculum design and development, staff augmentation, e-Learning services, system hosting, integration and help desk support, training business process outsourcing, and consulting and technical services primarily to large companies in the electronics and semiconductors, steel, healthcare, pharmaceutical, software, petrochemical, financial and other industries as well as to government agencies. This segment’s ability to deliver a wide range of training services allows it to take over the entire learning function for the client, including their training personnel.

 

Process & Government. The Process & Government segment has over four decades of experience providing consulting, engineering, technical and training services, including emergency preparedness, safety and regulatory compliance, chemical demilitarization and environmental services primarily to federal and state government agencies and large government contractors. This segment also provides design and construction of alternative fuel stations, including liquefied natural gas (“LNG”) and hydrogen fueling stations.

 

Energy. The Energy segment provides engineering services, products and training primarily to electric power utilities. The Company’s proprietary EtaProTM Performance Monitoring and Optimization System provides a suite of performance solutions for power generation plants and is installed at approximately 800 power generating units in over 30 countries. In addition, this segment provides web-based training through our GPiLearnTM portal to over 30,000 power plant personnel in the U.S. and in over 40 countries.

Sandy Training & Marketing. The Sandy segment provides custom product sales training and has been a leader in serving manufacturing customers in the U.S. automotive industry for over 30 years. Sandy provides custom product sales training designed to better educate customer sales forces with respect to new product features and designs, in effect rapidly increasing the sales force knowledge base and enabling them to address detailed customer queries. Furthermore, Sandy helps our clients assess their customer relationship marketing strategy, measure performance against competitors and connect with their customers on a one-to-one basis. This segment also provides technical training services to automotive customers.

 

RWD. The RWD segment represents a portion of the consulting business acquired from RWD in April 2011. Certain of the other RWD business units are managed within the Manufacturing & BPO and Sandy Training & Marketing segments discussed above. The RWD segment provides human capital management and IT consulting services, business transformation and lean process improvement, end-user training, change management, knowledge management and operator effectiveness management solutions in industries such as manufacturing, aerospace, healthcare, life sciences, consumer products, financial, telecommunications, services and higher education as well as the public sector.

 

2011 Acquisitions

On April 15, 2011, General Physics completed the acquisition of certain assets of the consulting business of RWD Technologies, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, and certain of its subsidiaries (collectively, “RWD”). RWD is a provider of human capital management and IT consulting services, business transformation and lean process improvement, end-user training, change management, knowledge management and operator effectiveness management solutions in industries such as manufacturing, energy, automotive, aerospace, healthcare, life sciences, consumer products, financial, telecommunications, services and higher education as well as the public sector. General Physics paid $28.0 million at closing, which was financed with $20.4 million of cash on hand and $7.6 million of borrowings under its revolving credit facility. The purchase price is subject to adjustment based on final determination of the working capital of the acquired business as of the closing date in accordance with the Asset Purchase Agreement. As of the date of this report, the Company estimates that a $2.5 million payment will be due from the seller based on the working capital per the balance sheet as of the acquisition date. The purchase price adjustment is expected to be finalized and paid during the third quarter of

Operating Highlights

 

Three Months ended June 30, 2011 Compared to the Three Months ended June 30, 2010

 

For the three months ended June 30, 2011, we had income before income tax expense of $7.9 million compared to $5.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010.  The increase in income was primarily due to an increase in operating income, the components of which are discussed below. Included in operating income is a $1.0 million gain on the reversal of a deferred rent liability related to the execution of a new lease for our Troy, Michigan facility during the second quarter of 2011 which is discussed in more detail below. Also included in operating income is a $43,000 loss on the change in estimated fair value of contingent consideration during the second quarter of 2011 compared to a $0.6 million gain during the same period in 2010 related to acquisitions completed, which is discussed further below and in Note 4 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. Excluding these items, we had an increase in operating income of $2.1 million during the second quarter of 2011. Net income was $4.7 million, or $0.25 per diluted share, for the three months ended June 30, 2011, compared to net income of $3.1 million, or $0.17 per diluted share, for the three months ended June 30, 2010.  During the three months ended June 30, 2011, diluted weighted average shares outstanding increased by 347,000 to 19,049,000 shares outstanding compared to 18,702,000 shares for the same period in 2010, primarily due to the issuance of shares for stock-based compensation and the effect of the increase in our stock price compared to the prior year on the results of the calculation of diluted weighted average shares outstanding.

Manufacturing & BPO revenue increased $6.9 million or 19.0% during the second quarter of 2011 compared to the second quarter of 2010. The increase in revenue is due to the following:

 

·                  A $5.9 million increase in revenue attributable to acquisitions completed during 2010 and 2011, which includes $2.8 million for the acquired RWD business units which are included in this segment, $2.7 million for various acquisitions in the UK, and $0.4 million for the Communication Consulting acquisition in China;

 

·                  A $1.2 million increase in IT services for a pharmaceutical customer; and

 

·                  A $0.3 million net increase in revenue primarily for training and technical services for manufacturing clients.

 

25



Table of Contents

 

These increases were offset by a $0.5 million net decrease in revenue primarily due to a decline in e-Learning development for both government and commercial clients, partially offset by an increase in training BPO services.

 

Process & Government revenue decreased $0.8 million or 7.1% during the second quarter of 2011 compared to the second quarter of 2010. The decrease in revenue is due to the following:

 

·                  A $0.6 million decrease relating to construction projects for liquefied natural gas (LNG) fueling station facilities due to the completion of projects in 2010; and

 

·                  A $0.7 million decrease in revenue from engineering and technical services primarily for aerospace and process industry customers.

 

These revenue decreases were offset by a $0.5 million increase in revenue on various contracts related to homeland security and chemical demilitarization training services primarily for government clients.

 

Energy group revenue was flat at $5.6 million for both the second quarter of 2011 and 2010.

 

Sandy Training & Marketing revenue increased $1.7 million or 13.2% during the second quarter of 2011 compared to the second quarter of 2010. Approximately $0.7 million of the increase is attributable to the automotive business unit of RWD which is now included in this segment as a result of the acquisition on April 15, 2011. The remainder of the revenue increase is primarily attributable to increased vehicle training programs for automotive customers during the second quarter of 2011. In addition, we experience quarterly fluctuations in revenue and income related to Sandy’s publications business, since revenue and cost on publication contracts are recognized in the period in which the publications ship, based on the output method of performance. Shipments occur at various times throughout the year and the volume of publications shipped could fluctuate from quarter to quarter. Publications revenue in the Sandy Training & Marketing segment totaled $1.8 million during the second quarter of 2011 compared to $2.0 million during the second quarter of 2010.

 

Revenue attributable to the RWD segment totaled $12.0 million for the second quarter of 2011. As noted above, a portion of the business acquired on April 15, 2011 constitutes a separate reportable segment, and certain other business units of RWD are included in the Manufacturing & BPO and Sandy Training & Marketing segments. Revenue attributable to the RWD acquisition among all segments totaled $15.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011.

Table of Contents

 

by $1.3 million or 23.3% when compared to gross profit of $5.7 million or 15.5% of revenue for the second quarter of 2010. Approximately $1.2 million of the increase in gross profit is attributable to the acquisitions we completed in 2010 and 2011. In addition, this segment experienced increases in gross profit primarily due to the net revenue increases discussed above.

 

Process & Government gross profit of $1.8 million or 17.9% of revenue for the second quarter of 2011 decreased by $0.1 million or 5.6% when compared to gross profit of $1.9 million or 17.7% of revenue for the second quarter of 2010. The decrease in gross profit is primarily due to the revenue decreases in this segment discussed above.

 

Energy group gross profit of $1.8 million or 32.5% of revenue for the second quarter of 2011 increased by $0.1 million or 4.1% when compared to gross profit of $1.8 million or 31.0% of revenue for the second quarter of 2010. Despite revenue being flat quarter over quarter, there was an improvement in gross margin primarily due to a reduction of overhead costs and business development resources related to office closures in 2010.

 

Sandy Training and Marketing gross profit of $2.2 million or 14.8% of revenue for the second quarter of 2011 increased $0.8 million or 58.8% compared to gross profit of $1.4 million or 10.5% of revenue for the second quarter of 2010. The increase in gross profit is primarily due to costs not increasing at the same rate as revenue growth in this segment during the second quarter of 2011 compared to the second quarter of 2010.

 

Gross profit attributable to the RWD segment totaled $1.9 million or 15.8% of revenue for the second quarter of 2011. Gross profit attributable to the RWD acquisition among all segments totaled $2.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011.

 

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

 

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $1.9 million or 31.1% from $6.0 million for the second quarter of 2010 to $7.9 million for the second quarter of 2011.  The increase is primarily due to acquisition related expenses, including increased labor and benefits expense, transaction costs (largely for legal expenses in connection with the RWD acquisition we completed in April 2011) , increased amortization expense and other various expenses during the second quarter of 2011 compared to the second quarter of 2010.

 

Gain on Reversal of Deferred Rent Liability

 

In 2008, General Physics entered into a sublease with Lear Corporation (“Lear”) for approximately 60,000 square feet of space in an office building in Troy, Michigan for a term scheduled to end in March 2015.  Lear filed a voluntary petition under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code in 2009 and subsequently obtained court approval to reject both General Physics’ sublease and the superior lease under which the sublease was made. In May 2010, General Physics filed a complaint in U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan seeking a declaratory judgment regarding its status as an occupant of the space and its obligation to pay rent.  General Physics sought unsuccessfully to enter into a direct lease with the building owner. The building owner, Osprey-Troy Officentre, LLC (“Osprey”), claimed rights through Lear and threatened legal action if General Physics vacated the building and ceased to pay rent under the sublease.  General Physics believed that the sublease was terminated and that it was a tenant-at-sufferance in the building, no longer bound by the sublease and obligated to pay only the reasonable rental value of the space it occupied.  Osprey asked the Court to deny the relief requested by General Physics and argued that the sublease constituted an assignment by Lear to General Physics of Lear’s lease of the portion of the building occupied by General Physics.  Both parties filed motions for summary judgment.

 

In June 2011, prior to a court ruling on this matter, General Physics entered into a new lease directly with Osprey for a term scheduled to end in March 2018, with an option to terminate on or after May 31, 2016 with

Table of Contents

 

180 days prior written notice. Prior to entering into the new lease with Osprey, we had a deferred rent liability on our balance sheet of $1.0 million, which represented the difference between the actual monthly rent owed to date and the rent expense recognized on a straight-line basis for the scheduled rent increases over the term of the original sublease. Upon entering into the new lease with Osprey, we reversed the deferred rent liability associated with the terminated sublease. As a result, we recognized a net gain of $1.0 million in the consolidated statement of operations during the quarter ended June 30, 2011.

 

Change in Fair Value of Contingent Consideration

 

We recognized a net loss on the change in fair value of contingent consideration related to acquisitions of $43,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2011, compared to a net gain of $0.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010.  Effective January 1, 2009, we adopted Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 805, Business Combinations (“Topic 805”), which requires that contingent consideration be recognized at fair value on the acquisition date, and re-measured each reporting period with subsequent adjustments recognized in the consolidated statement of operations. We estimate the fair value of contingent consideration liabilities based on financial projections of the acquired companies and estimated probabilities of achievement. We believe our estimates and assumptions are reasonable, however, there is significant judgment involved. At each reporting date, the contingent consideration obligation will be revalued to estimated fair value and changes in fair value subsequent to the acquisitions will be reflected in income or expense in the consolidated statements of operations, and could cause a material impact to, and volatility in, our operating results. Changes in the fair value of contingent consideration obligations may result from changes in discount periods, changes in the timing and amount of revenue and/or earnings estimates and changes in probability assumptions with respect to the likelihood of achieving the various earn-out criteria. See Note 4 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further details regarding the potential contingent consideration payments and the changes in fair value of the related liabilities during the three months ended June 30, 2011 for each acquisition.

 

Interest Expense

 

Interest expense was $0.1 million for both the second quarter of 2011 and 2010.

 

Other Income

 

Other income was $0.2 million for both the second quarter of 2011 and 2010 and consisted primarily of income from a joint venture, interest income and foreign currency gains and losses in both years.

 

Income Tax Expense

 

Income tax expense was $3.2 million for the second quarter of 2011 compared to $2.3 million for the second quarter of 2010.  The effective income tax rate was 40.7% and 42.3% for the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.  The increase in income tax expense and decrease in the effective income tax rate are primarily due to an increase in income during the second quarter of 2011 compared to the second quarter of 2010 and a larger portion of our 2011 income expected to be derived from foreign jurisdictions which are taxed at lower rates. Income tax expense for the quarterly periods is based on an estimated annual effective tax rate which includes the federal and state statutory rates, permanent differences, and other items that may have an impact on income tax expense.

Table of Contents

 

Six Months ended June 30, 2011 Compared to the Six Months ended June 30, 2010

 

For the six months ended June 30, 2011, we had income before income tax expense of $12.4 million compared to $9.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010.  The increase in income was primarily due to an increase in operating income, the components of which are discussed below. Included in operating income is a $1.0 million gain on the reversal of a deferred rent liability related to the execution of a new lease for our Troy, Michigan facility during the second quarter of 2011 which is discussed in more detail below. Also included in operating income is a $0.2 million net gain on the change in estimated fair value of contingent consideration during the six months ended June 30, 2011 compared to a $1.5 million net gain during the same period in 2010 related to acquisitions completed, which is discussed further below and in Note 4 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. Excluding these items, we had an increase in operating income of $3.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011. Net income was $7.3 million, or $0.38 per diluted share, for the six months ended June 30, 2011, compared to net income of $5.3 million, or $0.28 per diluted share, for the six months ended June 30, 2010.

Manufacturing & BPO revenue increased $13.2 million or 19.6% during the six months ended June 30, 2011 compared to the same period in 2010. The increase in revenue is due to the following:

 

·                  A $9.6 million increase in revenue attributable to acquisitions completed during 2010 and 2011, which includes $2.8 million for the acquired RWD business units which are included in this segment, $6.3 million for acquisitions in the UK, and $0.5 million for the Communication Consulting acquisition in China;

 

·                  A $1.6 million increase in IT services for a pharmaceutical customer during the first half of 2011 compared to the same period in 2010;

 

·                  A $1.4 million net increase in revenue primarily due to an increase in volume with existing BPO customers, partially offset by a decrease in e-Learning revenue, during the first half of 2011 compared to the same period in 2010; and

 

·                  A $0.6 million net increase in revenue primarily for training and technical services for manufacturing customers.

 

Process & Government revenue decreased $1.2 million or 5.8% during the six months ended June 30, 2011 compared to the same period in 2010. The decrease in revenue is due to the following:

 

29



Table of Contents

 

·                  A $1.6 million net decrease relating to construction projects for liquefied natural gas (LNG) fueling station facilities due to the completion of projects in 2010; and

 

·                  A $1.5 million net decrease in revenue from engineering and technical services primarily for aerospace and process industry customers.

 

These revenue decreases were offset by a $1.9 million increase in revenue on various contracts related to homeland security and chemical demilitarization training services primarily for government clients.

 

Energy group revenue increased $0.4 million or 3.8% during the six months ended June 30, 2011 compared to the same period in 2010 primarily due to a large EtaProTM implementation which was started during 2010.

 

Sandy Training & Marketing revenue increased $2.9 million or 12.5% during the six months ended June 30, 2011 compared to the same period in 2010. Approximately $0.7 million of the increase is attributable to the automotive business unit of RWD which is now included in this segment as a result of the acquisition on April 15, 2011. The remainder of the revenue increase is primarily attributable to increased vehicle training programs for automotive customers during the six months ended June 30, 2011.

 

Revenue attributable to the RWD segment totaled $12.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011. As noted above, a portion of the business acquired on April 15, 2011 constitutes a separate reportable segment, and certain other business units of RWD are included in the Manufacturing & BPO and Sandy Training & Marketing segments. Revenue attributable to the RWD acquisition among all segments totaled $15.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011.

Manufacturing & BPO gross profit of $12.7 million or 15.7% of revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2011 increased by $2.6 million or 26.3% when compared to gross profit of $10.0 million or 14.9% of revenue for the same period in 2010. Approximately $1.6 million of the increase in gross profit dollars is attributable to the acquisitions we completed in 2010 and 2011. In addition, this segment experienced increases in gross profit primarily due to the revenue increases discussed above.

 

Process & Government gross profit of $3.6 million or 18.0% of revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2011 increased by $0.1 million or 3.6% when compared to gross profit of $3.5 million or 16.3% of revenue for the same period in 2010. Despite the overall net revenue decrease in this segment, gross profit increased slightly due to the revenue increases in this segment discussed above primarily due to a reduction in estimated costs to complete on certain fixed price projects during 2011 compared to 2010.

Table of Contents

 

Energy group gross profit was $3.5 million or 30.7% of revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2011 increased $0.6 million or 19.8% compared to gross profit of $3.0 million or 26.6% of revenue for the same period in 2010 primarily due to a reduction of overhead costs and business development resources related to office closures in 2010.

 

Sandy Training and Marketing gross profit of $3.8 million or 14.5% of revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2011 increased by $1.4 million or 56.0% when compared to gross profit of $2.4 million or 10.5% of revenue for the same period in 2010. The increase in gross profit is primarily due to costs not increasing at the same rate as revenue growth in this segment during the six months ended June 30, 2011 compared to the same period in 2010.

 

Gross profit attributable to the RWD segment totaled $1.9 million, or 15.8% of revenue, for the six months ended June 30, 2011. Gross profit attributable to the RWD acquisition among all segments totaled $2.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011.

 

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

 

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $3.2 million or 27.7% from $11.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010 to $14.6 million for the same period in 2011. The increase is primarily due to acquisition related expenses, including increased labor and benefits expense, transaction costs (largely for legal expenses totaling $1.1 million in connection with the RWD acquisition we completed in April 2011) , increased amortization expense and other various expenses during the six months ended June 30, 2011 compared to the same period in 2010.

 

Gain on Reversal of Deferred Rent Liability

 

We recognized a net gain on reversal of a deferred rent liability of $1.0 million during the second quarter of 2011 related to the execution of a new lease for our Troy, Michigan facility. See further details regarding this gain above in the discussion of operating results for the three months ended June 30, 2011.

 

Change in Fair Value of Contingent Consideration

 

We recognized a net gain on the change in fair value of contingent consideration related to acquisitions of $0.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011, compared to a net gain of $1.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010.  Effective January 1, 2009, we adopted ASC Topic 805, which requires that contingent consideration be recognized at fair value on the acquisition date, and re-measured each reporting period with subsequent adjustments recognized in the consolidated statement of operations. We estimate the fair value of contingent consideration liabilities based on financial projections of the acquired companies and estimated probabilities of achievement. We believe our estimates and assumptions are reasonable, however, there is significant judgment involved. At each reporting date, the contingent consideration obligation will be revalued to estimated fair value and changes in fair value subsequent to the acquisitions will be reflected in income or expense in the consolidated statements of operations, and could cause a material impact to, and volatility in, our operating results. Changes in the fair value of contingent consideration obligations may result from changes in discount periods, changes in the timing and amount of revenue and/or earnings estimates and changes in probability assumptions with respect to the likelihood of achieving the various earn-out criteria. See Note 4 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further details regarding the potential contingent consideration payments and the changes in fair value of the related liabilities during the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 for each acquisition.

Interest Expense

 

Interest expense was consistent at $0.1 million for both the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010.

 

Other Income

 

Other income was $0.3 million for both the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 and consisted primarily of income from a joint venture, interest income and foreign currency gains and losses in both years.

 

Income Tax Expense

 

Income tax expense was $5.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011 compared to $3.9 million for the same period in 2010.  The effective income tax rate was 41.0% and 42.1% for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.  The increase in income tax expense and decrease in the effective income tax rate are primarily due to an increase in income during 2011 compared to 2010 and a larger portion of our 2011 income expected to be derived from foreign jurisdictions which are taxed at lower rates. Income tax expense for the quarterly periods is based on an estimated annual effective tax rate which includes the federal and state statutory rates, permanent differences, and other items that may have an impact on income tax expense.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Working Capital

 

For the six months ended June 30, 2011, our working capital decreased $14.4 million from $47.3 million at December 31, 2010 to $32.9 million at June 30, 2011. The decrease in working capital is primarily due to the use of cash for acquisitions during the first half of 2011, for which a significant amount of the purchase prices were allocated to goodwill and other intangible assets (see further details above and in Note 4 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements). We believe that cash generated from operations and borrowings available under the General Physics Credit Agreement ($27.7 million of available borrowings as of June 30, 2011), will be sufficient to fund our working capital and other requirements for at least the next twelve months.

Significant Customers & Concentration of Credit Risk

 

We have a concentration of revenue from General Motors and its affiliates (“General Motors”) as well as a market concentration in the automotive sector. For the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, revenue from General Motors accounted for approximately 10% and 12%, respectively, of our consolidated revenue, and revenue from the automotive industry accounted for approximately 18% and 19%, respectively, of our consolidated revenue. No other customer accounted for more than 10% of our revenue during the six months ended June 30, 2011 or accounts receivable as of June 30, 2011.

 

We also have a concentration of revenue from the United States government. For the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, sales to the United States government and its agencies represented approximately 17% and 22%, respectively, of our consolidated revenue. Revenue was derived from many separate contracts with a variety of government agencies that are regarded by us as separate customers.

 

Cash Flows

 

Six Months ended June 30, 2011 Compared to the Six Months ended June 30, 2010

 

The Company’s cash balance decreased $23.3 million from $28.9 million as of December 31, 2010 to $5.6 million as of June 30, 2011. The decrease in cash and cash equivalents during the six months ended June 30, 2011 resulted from cash provided by operating activities of $4.8 million, cash used in investing activities of $33.8 million, cash provided by financing activities of $5.5 million and a $0.2 million positive effect due to exchange rate changes on cash and cash equivalents.

 

Cash provided by operating activities was $4.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011 compared to $10.3 million for the same period in 2010.  The decrease in cash provided by operating activities is primarily due to an increase in unbilled receivables attributable to the RWD business. In addition, net cash provided by operating activities includes payments totaling $0.7 million during the six months ended June 30, 2011 for the portion of contingent consideration in excess of the original fair value as of the acquisition date.

 

33



Table of Contents

 

Cash used in investing activities was $33.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011 compared to $3.7 million for the same period in 2010.  The increase in cash used in investing activities is primarily due to an increase in cash used for acquisitions, largely due to the use of $28 million of cash for the RWD acquisition. Fixed asset additions increased approximately $1.1 million during the first half of 2011 compared to the same period in 2010.

 

Cash provided by financing activities was $5.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011 compared to cash used in financing activities of $0.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010.  The increase in cash provided by financing activities is primarily due to short-term borrowings of approximately $6.5 million during the six months ended June 30, 2011 to partially fund the purchase price for the RWD acquisition. These proceeds from short-term borrowings were offset by contingent consideration payments totaling $1.2 million for previously completed acquisitions.

 

Short-term Borrowings

 

General Physics has a $35 million Amended Financing and Security Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with a bank that expires on October 31, 2013, with annual renewal options, and is secured by certain assets of General Physics.  The maximum interest rate on borrowings under the Credit Agreement is at the daily LIBOR Market Index Rate plus 2.25%. Based upon the financial performance of General Physics, the interest rate can be reduced. As of June 30, 2011, the rate was LIBOR plus 1.25%.  The Credit Agreement contains covenants with respect to General Physics’ minimum tangible net worth, total liabilities to tangible net worth ratio and interest coverage ratio. General Physics was in compliance with all loan covenants under the Credit Agreement as of June 30, 2011. The Credit Agreement also contains certain restrictive covenants regarding future acquisitions, incurrence of debt and the payment of dividends. The Credit Agreement permits General Physics to provide GP Strategies up to $10 million of cash to repurchase shares of its outstanding common stock in the open market. There was $6.6 million remaining available for future share repurchases under the $10 million authorized amount as of June 30, 2011. General Physics is otherwise currently restricted from paying dividends or management fees to the Company in excess of $1.0 million in any year.  As of June 30, 2011, there were $6.5 million borrowings outstanding and $27.7 million of available borrowings under the Credit Agreement, based upon 80% of eligible accounts receivable and 80% of eligible unbilled receivables.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Commitments

 

As of June 30, 2011, we do not have any off-balance sheet commitments except for operating leases and letters of credit entered into in the normal course of business.

 

Forward-Looking Statements

 

This report contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.  The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 provides a “safe harbor” for forward looking statements.  Forward—looking statements are not statements of historical facts, but rather reflect our current expectations concerning future events and results.  We use words such as “expects,” “intends,” “believes,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “could,” “anticipates,” “estimates,” “plans” and similar expressions to indicate forward-looking statements, but their absence does not mean a statement is not forward-looking. Because these forward-looking statements are based upon management’s expectations and assumptions and are subject to risks and uncertainties, there are important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements, including, but not limited to, those factors set forth in Item 1A - Risk Factors of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010 and those other risks and uncertainties detailed in our periodic reports and registration statements filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.  We caution that these risk factors may not be exhaustive.  We operate in a continually changing

business environment, and new risk factors emerge from time to time.  We cannot predict these new risk factors, nor can we assess the effect, if any, of the new risk factors on our business or the extent to which any factor or combination of factors may cause actual results to differ from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements.

 

If any one or more of these expectations and assumptions proves incorrect, actual results will likely differ materially from those contemplated by the forward-looking statements. Even if all of the foregoing assumptions and expectations prove correct, actual results may still differ materially from those expressed in the forward-looking statements as a result of factors we may not anticipate or that may be beyond our control. While we cannot assess the future impact that any of these differences could have on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows or the market price of shares of our common stock, the differences could be significant. We do not undertake to update any forward-looking statements made by us, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.  You are cautioned not to unduly rely on such forward-looking statements when evaluating the information presented in this report.
