DATATRAK INTERNATIONAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
September 30, 2007
(Unaudited)
1. Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of DATATRAK
International, Inc. and subsidiaries (DATATRAK or the Company) have been prepared in accordance
with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim financial
information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly,
they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States for complete financial statements. In the opinion of
management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a
fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three and nine month periods ended
September 30, 2007 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year
ending December 31, 2007. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements
and footnotes thereto included in the Companys Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that might
affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results
could differ from those estimates.
2. ClickFind Acquisition
On February 13, 2006, DATATRAK acquired all of the outstanding stock of ClickFind, Inc.
(ClickFind), a technology company focused on the clinical trials industry, located in Bryan,
Texas.
The negotiated terms of the acquisition were for an aggregate purchase price of $18,000,000,
less approximately $328,000 in certain transaction expenses and certain indebtedness of ClickFind.
A component of the purchase price was paid with 1,026,522 common shares of the Company, priced at
$9.25 per share, as determined by the terms of the acquisition agreement. The acquisition was
recorded as a purchase, and as such, for the purpose of recording the acquisition, the value of the
common shares used in the acquisition were valued at $7.66 per share, based on the average closing
price per share of the Companys common shares for the five business day period from February 9
through February 15, 2006.
Based on the common share valuation of $7.66 per share, the total recorded acquisition cost,
including acquisition related expenses of $796,000, was $16,619,000. The cash portion of the
purchase price, less cash acquired of $87,000, was approximately $4,669,000. The remainder of the
purchase price consisted of $4,000,000 in notes payable and the issuance of approximately
$7,863,000 in common shares (1,026,522 common shares), both of which are excluded from the
Companys 2006 condensed consolidated statement of cash flows. The notes payable bear interest at
prime plus 1% and have remaining principal payments of $425,000 due February 1, 2008 and $3,000,000
due February 1, 2009.
DATATRAKs acquisition resulted in deferred tax liabilities of $2,054,000. The Company will
utilize its deferred tax assets to offset its acquisition related deferred tax liability.
The following table summarizes the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed
as of the date of the acquisition.

$3,330,000 to the software now known as DATATRAK eClinical; (ii) $1,160,000 to employee
non-compete agreements; and (iii) $1,550,000 to contracts and customer relationships. The acquired
intangible assets are being amortized as follows: (i) the software over seven years; (ii) the
employee non-compete agreements over three years; and (iii) the contracts and customer
relationships over three years. The $10,863,000 of goodwill is not deductible for income tax
purposes.
As a result of seven consecutive quarterly operating losses, and forecasted continuing
operating losses based on current sales trends, the Company determined that impairment indicators
existed as of September 30, 2007. The Company conducted interim impairment testing of its goodwill
and finite-lived tangible and intangible assets and determined that some impairment had occurred to
its non-compete agreements. As a result, the Company recorded an impairment charge of $213,000
against the non-compete agreements for the three months ended September 30, 2007. Subsequent to
the impairment charge, the carrying value of the Companys non-compete agreements will be
$316,000. The Company used an Income Approach based on a scenario-based analysis of incremental
cash flows for determining the fair value of the non-compete agreements. The $213,000 impairment
charge is included in the Income Statement under the caption Impairment loss.
The operating results of ClickFind have been included in the Companys consolidated results of
operations for all periods subsequent to February 13, 2006. Unaudited pro forma operating results
for the nine months ended September 30, 2006, as though the Company had acquired ClickFind at the
beginning of 2006, are set forth below. The unaudited pro forma operating results are not
necessarily indicative of what would have occurred had the transaction taken place on January 1,
2006.

3. Change in Accounting Estimate
During the first nine months of 2007, the Company recorded $316,000 of additional amortization
expense related to its contract and customer relationships intangible asset. The change in estimate
was made as the Companys revenues from contracts acquired during the ClickFind acquisition greatly
exceeded the Companys estimates during the first twelve months after acquisition; however,
revenues are now expected to stabilize or decline during the remaining life of each contract.

6. Shareholders Equity
In March of 2007, the Company completed a private placement financing with a group of
institutional investors. In connection with this financing, the Company sold 1,986,322 common
shares at a price of $4.75 per share. The terms of the financing included the issuance of five-year
warrants to purchase a total of 297,948 common shares at $6.00 per share to investors in the
private placement, and the issuance of five-year warrants to purchase a total of 29,795 common
shares at $6.00 per share to the placement agents who assisted the Company in the private
placement. The net proceeds from the sale of the common shares were approximately $8,648,000 (after
deducting offering related expenses). The proceeds were allocated between common shares and common
share warrants based on their relative fair values. All the warrants are outstanding as of
September 30, 2007.
In connection with this financing, we granted registration rights for the purchased common
shares and the common shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants. The registration rights
agreement specifies filing and effectiveness deadlines and require the Company to, except under
certain limited circumstances, keep the registration statement effective until certain threshold
dates. The agreement also requires the Company to maintain (e.g. maintenance requirement)
sufficient number of common shares to satisfy all the warrants if they were exercised now or in the
future. DATATRAK has sufficient authorized, unregistered common shares to permit exercise of the
warrants. Accordingly, the Company classified the warrants as equity instruments. On April 13, 2007, the Company filed its S-3 registration statement to
register sufficient common shares to cover the purchased common shares and the common shares
issuable upon exercise of the warrants issued as part of the private placement financing. The
registration statement was declared effective on May 14, 2007 by the Securities and Exchange
Commission.
In the event the Company fails to meet the registration maintenance requirement, DATATRAK
shall pay each holder an amount equal to 1% of the aggregate purchase price for each month of such
failure. The aggregate amount of these registration failure payments shall not exceed a total of
10% of the aggregate purchase price of the shares. The Company believes it is not probable that it
will be required to pay a registration failure payment and thus has not recorded a liability with
respect to the registration payment arrangement.
There are 484,822 warrants outstanding at September 30, 2007 which have original terms of 3 to
5 years and exercise prices ranging from $3.20 to $9.60 per share. During the nine months ended
September 30, 2007, the holders of 99,783 common share options, at a weighted average exercise
price of $2.74, exercised the options and purchased 99,783 shares. Of the 484,822 warrants,
141,399 are scheduled to expire on December 23, 2007. All 141,399 warrants have an exercise price
of $9.60 per share.
7. Operating Leases
The Company leases certain office equipment and space. Future minimum lease payments for the
Company under non-cancelable operating leases as of September 30, 2007 are as follows:

For the nine months ended September 30, 2007, the Companys pre-tax loss was $8,274,000. Due
to uncertainty regarding the realization of the deferred tax assets resulting from this loss,
DATATRAK provided for a full valuation allowance against these deferred tax assets, except for a
portion of the foreign deferred tax asset that remains unreserved. The deferred tax provision in
2007 resulted from the use of foreign net operating losses to reduce foreign taxable income. As of
September 30, 2006, the Company fully reserved its foreign deferred tax asset and thus no provision
was recorded for the nine months ended September 30, 2006.
In August 2007, Germany passed a tax reform bill that lowered the Companys foreign corporate
tax rate from 38% to 30%. As a result of this tax rate change, the Company recorded a $30,000
reduction in its unreserved foreign net deferred tax asset. In addition, the Company reduced its
foreign deferred tax asset and corresponding valuation reserve by $776,000.
In July 2006, the FASB issued Financial Interpretation (FIN) No. 48, Accounting for
Uncertainty in Income Taxes. FIN No. 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertain tax positions
recognized in an entitys financial statements in accordance with SFAS No. 109, Accounting for
Income Taxes. This interpretation was effective for the Company on January 1, 2007. There was no
impact upon adoption.

The ClickFind Notes are held by certain former shareholders of ClickFind. They bear interest
at prime plus 1% and remaining principal payments are due in installments of $425,000 and
$3,000,000 on February 1, 2008 and 2009, respectively. Of the $3,425,000, $2,269,000 is held by an
executive officer of the Company who was the founder of ClickFind. Of the remaining $1,156,000 of
ClickFind Notes, $851,000 is held by other current employees of the Company.
The Oracle Agreement is for the purchase of certain computer equipment. The terms of the
financing agreement require DATATRAK to make 36 monthly payments of $9,000, including accrued
interest, beginning in July 2006 through June 2009.
8
The Dell Agreements are for the purchase of certain computer equipment. The terms of the lease
agreements require DATATRAK to make monthly payments, currently totaling $16,000, for the 36 month
term of each lease.
The Oracle Agreement and the Dell Agreement transactions totaling $249,000 and $492,000 for
the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively, are excluded from the Companys
condensed consolidated statement of cash flows.
In connection with the Datasci claim, an arrangement was entered into with certain former
ClickFind shareholders for sharing of the expenses associated with that litigation. Under that
arrangement, a certain portion of principal payments due under the notes would be used to offset a
certain portion of the expenses related to the litigation. Of the $500,000 payment due on February
1, 2007, $79,000 was held by the Company to satisfy these expenses. As of September 30, 2007, an
additional $75,000 has been recorded as a reduction to the notes payable reducing the February 1,
2008 installment to $425,000 from the original $500,000 payment due. In July 2007, DATATRAK settled
its litigation related to Datascis patent infringement claim with no liability against the
Company.

10. Employee Terminations
During the nine months ended September 30, 2007, the Company recorded a charge of $723,000 for
severance benefits and stay bonuses due to terminated employees. As of September 30, 2007,
$128,000 of these costs had been paid. Another $239,000 of these severance benefits will be paid
out prior to December 31, 2007 with the remainder paid subsequent to 2007.
Also during the nine months ended September 30, 2007, the Company recorded an estimated
reserve for anticipated future forfeitures of stock-based compensation awards of $52,000. This
reserve and corresponding reduction in stock compensation expense was estimated in part based on
the current trend of terminated employees.
The Company accounts for termination benefits in accordance with SFAS No. 146, Accounting
for the Cost of Exit or Disposal Activities which requires that termination benefit expenses be
recorded ratably over the period during which employees must provide future services in order to
obtain the benefit.
11. Restricted Cash
The Companys wholly owned subsidiary, DATATRAK GmbH, is required to provide a bank guarantee
to the lessor of its office space equal to three months of rent. The terms of the bank guarantee
require DATATRAK GmbH to maintain a restricted cash balance of 59,000 euros with the bank. The U.S.
dollar equivalent of this amount was $84,000 at September 30, 2007 and $78,000 at December 31,
2006. The higher balance at September 30, 2007 compared to December 31, 2006 is due solely to
currency fluctuation.
12. Software Development Costs
Development costs incurred in the research and development of new software products and
enhancements to existing software products are expensed as incurred until technological feasibility
has been established. After technological feasibility is established, any additional costs are
capitalized in accordance with SFAS No. 86, Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software to be
Sold, Leased, or Otherwise Marketed. Such costs are amortized over the lesser of three years or
the economic life of the related product. The net carrying value for capitalized software
development costs was $2,658,000 and $3,119,000 as of September 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006,
respectively. The Company performs a review of the recoverability of such capitalized software
costs when impairment indicators arise. At the time a determination is made that capitalized
amounts are not recoverable based on the estimated cash flows to be generated from the applicable
software, any impairment amounts are expensed.
As a result of seven consecutive quarterly losses, and forecasted continuing operating losses
based on current sales trends, the Company determined that impairment indicators existed as of
September 30, 2007. The Company conducted interim impairment testing of the software acquired in
the ClickFind acquisition, now known as DATATRAK eClinical, and determined that no impairment
occurred.
Research and development expenses included in selling, general and administrative expenses
were $1,939,000 and $1,774,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively.
10
13. Reclassification
Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.
14. Contingencies
In the ordinary course of business, the Company is involved in employment related legal
proceedings. The Company is of the opinion that the ultimate resolution of these matters will not
have a material adverse effect on the results of operations, cash flows or the financial position
of DATATRAK.
On July 17, 2006, Datasci, LLC (Datasci) filed a complaint against the Company, ClickFind,
and CF Merger Sub, Inc. (Merger Sub) alleging a patent infringement. In July 2007, the Company
settled its litigation related to Datascis patent infringement claim with no liability against the
Company.

Item 2. Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The information set forth and discussed below for the three and nine month periods ended
September 30, 2007 is derived from, and should be read in conjunction with, the condensed
consolidated financial statements included elsewhere herein. The financial information set forth
and discussed below is unaudited, but in the opinion of management, reflects all adjustments
(consisting of normal recurring accruals) necessary for a fair presentation of such information.
The Companys results of operations for a particular quarter may not be indicative of results
expected during the fourth quarter or for the entire year.
General
DATATRAK is a provider of software and other related services, commonly referred to as an
application service provider, or ASP. DATATRAKs customers use the software known as DATATRAK
EDC(R) and DATATRAK eClinical(TM) to collect and transmit clinical trial data, commonly referred
to as electronic data capture, or EDC. The Companys services assist companies in the clinical
pharmaceutical, biotechnology, contract research organization and medical device industries, in
accelerating the completion of clinical trials. Approximately 32% of the Companys total assets, or
$8,677,000, is held in cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments, and goodwill accounts for
approximately 40%, or $10,863,000, of the Companys total assets. The Company is continuing to
enhance and commercialize its business and software, and anticipates that its operating results may
fluctuate significantly from period to period. There can be no assurance of the Companys long-term
future prospects.
On February 13, 2006, we acquired all of the outstanding stock of ClickFind, a company focused
on the application of a unified technology platform for clinical trials, located in Bryan, Texas.
The operating results of ClickFind have been included in our consolidated results of operations for
all periods subsequent to February 13, 2006. As a result of the acquisition, we believe we have the
most extensive software suite in the clinical trials industry.
The cash portion of the purchase price, less cash acquired of $87,000, was approximately
$4,669,000. The remainder of the purchase price consisted of $4,000,000 in notes payable and the
issuance of approximately $7,863,000 in common shares (1,026,522 common shares), both of which are
excluded from the Companys 2006 condensed consolidated statement of cash flows. The notes payable
have a current outstanding balance of $3,425,000 and bear interest at prime plus 1%. Remaining
principal payments are due in installments of $425,000 and $3,000,000 on February 1, 2008 and 2009,
respectively.
In connection with the Datasci claim, an arrangement was entered into with certain former
ClickFind shareholders for sharing of the expenses associated with that litigation. Under that
arrangement, a certain portion of principal payments due under the notes would be used to offset a
certain portion of the expenses related to the litigation. Of the $500,000 payment due on February
1, 2007, $79,000 was held by the Company to satisfy these expenses. The Company was permitted to
withhold additional portions of future principal payments to cover further costs associated with
this claim. As of September 30, 2007, an additional $75,000 has been recorded as a reduction to the
notes payable reducing the February 1, 2008 installment to $425,000 from the original $500,000
payment due. In July 2007, DATATRAK settled its litigation related to Datascis patent infringement
claim with no liability against the Company.
DATATRAK recognizes revenue in accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin 104, Revenue
Recognition and Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) Issue No. 00-21, Revenue Arrangements with
Multiple Deliverables. The Company recognizes revenue when all of the following criteria are met:
persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; delivery of the product or service has occurred; the
fee is fixed or determinable; and collectibility is probable. DATATRAKs contracts provide a fixed
price for each element to be delivered, and revenue is recognized as these multiple-elements are
delivered. The Company determines the price of items included in multiple-element arrangements
using objective, reliable evidence of fair value. This evidence is based on the vendor-specific per
element price the Company would sell an item for on a standalone basis or other methods allowable
under EITF No. 00-21. DATATRAK recognizes revenue based on the performance or delivery of the
following specified services or components of its contracts in the manner described below:
|
|
|
Project management and data management (design, report and export) service revenue
is recognized proportionally over the life of a contract as services are performed, based
on the contractual billing rate per hour for those services. |
|
|
|
|
Data items revenue is earned based on a price per data unit as data items are
entered into our hosting facility. |
|
|
|
|
Classroom training services revenue is recognized as classroom training is
completed, at rates based on the length of the training program. |
|
|
|
|
Internet-based training services revenue is recognized on a per user basis as
self-study courses are completed. |
|
|
|
|
Help desk revenue is recognized based on a monthly price per registered user under
the contract. |
12
Services provided by us that are in addition to those provided for in our contracts are billed
on a fee for service basis as services are completed. Costs associated with contract revenue are
recognized as incurred. Costs that are paid directly by our clients, and for which we do not bear
the risk of economic loss, are excluded from revenue. The termination of a standard contract will
not result in a material adjustment to the revenue or costs previously recognized.
Backlog consists of anticipated revenue from authorization letters to commence services and
signed contracts yet to be completed. Potential contracts or authorization letters that have passed
the verbal stage, but have not yet been signed, are excluded from backlog. At September 30, 2007,
DATATRAKs backlog was $10,716,000. DATATRAKs contracts can be cancelled or delayed at anytime
and, therefore, the Companys backlog, at any point in time, is not an accurate predictor of future
levels of revenue. As a result of DATATRAKs transactional and service-based business model
combined with the dynamic nature of the clinical trials market where changes in scope are common,
backlog has historically not been an accurate predictor of short-term revenue.

In response to the SECs Release No. 33-8040, Cautionary Advice Regarding Disclosure About
Critical Accounting Policies, the Company has identified the most critical accounting principles
upon which its financial status depends. Critical principles were determined by considering
accounting policies that involve the most complex or subjective decisions or assessments. The most
critical accounting policies were identified to be those related to revenue recognition, software
development costs, stock-based compensation, goodwill and other intangible assets and income taxes.
A summary of the Companys critical accounting policies related to revenue recognition,
software development costs, stock-based compensation, goodwill and other intangible assets and
income taxes can be found in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed on March 16, 2007,
(Annual Report) under the heading Critical Accounting Policies in Managements Discussion and
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
Results of Operations
Three months ended September 30, 2007 compared with three months ended September 30, 2006
Revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2007 decreased $2,258,000, or 52%, to
$2,116,000, as compared to $4,374,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2006. During the
third quarter of 2007, DATATRAK recorded revenue related to 93 contracts compared to 123 contracts
during the three months ended September 30, 2006. For the three months ended September 30, 2007,
$1,481,000 of revenue was the result of contracts that were in backlog at December 31, 2006,
$513,000 was the result of new business signed since January 1, 2007, and $122,000 was the result
of contracts acquired from ClickFind. For the third quarter of 2006, $3,128,000 of revenue was
generated from contracts that were in backlog at December 31, 2005, $757,000 of revenue was the
result of new business signed since January 1, 2006, and $489,000 was the result of contracts
acquired from ClickFind. The reduction in revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2007
compared to the same prior year three month period was primarily the result of a significant
decrease attributable to one client, Otsuka Research Institute, which accounted for 6% of our total
revenue in the third quarter of 2007 compared to 40% of total revenue in the third quarter of 2006.
Of the overall $2,258,000 decrease in revenue, the decrease in Otsuka revenue accounted for
approximately $1,649,000 of the reduction, or 73%. For the remainder of 2007 we expect revenue from
Otsuka Research Institute to be significantly lower, as a percent of our total revenue, compared to
2006. To date, DATATRAK has been unable to generate sufficient new sales to offset the decline in
revenue from the Otsuka projects. We continue our efforts to enhance our sales and marketing
organization and have experienced significant turnover in our sales team. Four of the Companys
current 10 person sales and marketing staff were hired during the third quarter of 2007 to
aggressively pursue sales growth in future periods. In addition, the Company replaced its Vice
President of Marketing and Sales in June of this year and added a Director of Marketing in the
third quarter of 2007. Further, we have experienced significant trial delays from certain clients
during the third quarter. As a result, approximately 21% of our June 30, 2007 backlog produced no
revenue during the three months ended September 30, 2007 compared to 4% of our June 30, 2006
backlog not producing revenue in the third quarter of 2006.
Direct costs of revenue, mainly personnel costs, were $1,061,000 and $1,327,000 during the
three months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. The net decrease of $266,000, or 20%,
was mainly a result of fewer employees and lower license fees. DATATRAKs gross margin decreased to
50% for the three months ended September 30, 2007 compared to 70% for the three months ended
September 30, 2006 primarily as a result of the 52% decrease in revenue.
13
Selling, general and administrative expenses (SG&A) include all administrative personnel
costs, business and software development costs, and all other expenses not directly chargeable to a
specific contract. SG&A expenses decreased by $109,000, or 3%, to $3,283,000 from $3,392,000 for
the three months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Legal costs decreased $170,000
in the third quarter of 2007 largely as the result of the absence of the Datasci patent litigation
expense in this quarter compared to $140,000 incurred in the third quarter of 2006. Staff and
other payroll costs increased $113,000 in the third quarter of 2007 compared to the same time
period in 2006. The net increase in personnel costs, in part, was caused by additional investment
in sales personnel. Also, a portion of the additional personnel costs were necessary to bring
certain development functions in-house and to allow for the discontinuation of outsourced research
and development. The discontinuation of outsourced research and development resulted in a cost
savings of $118,000 in the third quarter of 2007 compared to the same period of the prior year.
During the three months ended September 30, 2007, the Company recorded an impairment charge of
$213,000 against its non-compete agreements acquired from ClickFind. As a result of seven
consecutive quarterly operating losses, and forecasted continuing operating losses based on current
sales trends, the Company determined that impairment indicators existed as of September 30, 2007.
The Company conducted interim impairment testing of its goodwill and finite-lived tangible and
intangible assets and determined that some impairment had occurred. No impairment charge was
incurred during the same time period of the prior year.
During the three months ended September 30, 2007, DATATRAK recorded a charge of $386,000 for
severance benefits, including $54,000 related to stay bonuses, due to terminated employees. The net
reduction of 11 employees in the third quarter of 2007 is expected to decrease annual direct costs by
approximately $280,000 and annual SG&A expenses by approximately $520,000. During the three months
ended September 30, 2006, there were no charges for severance benefits.
Depreciation and amortization expense increased $41,000, or 7%, primarily as a result of
accelerated amortization of the contract and customer relationship intangible asset acquired from
ClickFind. Depreciation and amortization expense was $670,000 for the three months ended September
30, 2007 compared to $629,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2006.
Interest income increased by $79,000, to $129,000, in the third quarter of 2007 from $50,000
in the third quarter of 2006 due to the third quarter 2007 investment balances being larger than
those in the third quarter of 2006.
Interest expense decreased by $15,000 to $91,000, in the third quarter of 2007 from $106,000
in the third quarter of 2006 primarily from a reduction in the ClickFind Notes outstanding
principal balance.
Nine months ended September 30, 2007 compared with nine months ended September 30, 2006
Revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 decreased $4,982,000, or 36%, to
$8,723,000, as compared to $13,705,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2006. During the
first nine months of 2007, DATATRAK recorded revenue related to 140 contracts compared to 134
contracts during the nine months ended September 30, 2006. For the nine months ended September 30,
2007, $7,031,000 of revenue was the result of contracts that were in backlog at December 31, 2006,
$1,146,000 was the result of new business signed since January 1, 2007, and $546,000 was the result
of contracts acquired from ClickFind. For the first nine months of 2006, $10,883,000 of revenue was
generated from contracts that were in backlog at December 31, 2005, $1,659,000 of revenue was the
result of new business signed since January 1, 2006, and $1,163,000 was the result of contracts
acquired from ClickFind. The reduction in revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2007
compared to the same prior year nine month period was primarily the result of a significant
decrease attributable to one client, Otsuka Research Institute, which accounted for 17% of our
total revenue in the first nine months of 2007 compared to 46% of total revenue in the first nine
months of 2006. Of the overall $4,982,000 decrease in revenue, the decrease in Otsuka revenue
accounted for approximately $4,764,000 of the reduction, or 96%. For the remainder of 2007, we
expect revenue from Otsuka Research Institute to be significantly lower, as a percent of our total
revenue, compared to 2006. To date, DATATRAK has been unable to generate sufficient new sales to
offset the decline in revenue from the Otsuka projects. We continue our efforts to enhance our
sales and marketing organization and have experienced significant turnover in our sales team. Four
of the Companys current 10 person sales and marketing staff were hired during the third quarter of
2007. In addition, the Company replaced its Vice President of Marketing and Sales in June of this
year and added a Director of Marketing in the third quarter of 2007 to aggressively pursue sales
growth in future periods.
Direct costs of revenue, mainly personnel costs, were $3,618,000 and $3,877,000 during the
nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. The net decrease of $259,000, or 7%,
was mainly a result of fewer employees and lower license fees. DATATRAKs gross margin decreased
to 59% for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 compared to 72% for the nine months ended
September 30, 2006 primarily as a result of the 36% decrease in revenue.
14
SG&A expenses increased by $415,000, or 4%, to $10,326,000 from $9,911,000 for the nine months
ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Staff and other payroll cost increased $705,000.
The net increase in personnel costs, in part, was caused by additional investment in sales
personnel. Also, a portion of the additional personnel costs were necessary to bring certain
development functions in-house and to allow for the discontinuation of outsourced research and
development. The discontinuation of outsourced research and development resulted in a cost savings
of $508,000 in the first nine months of 2007 compared to the same period of the prior year. The
current year increase also reflects a full nine months of expense for employees who joined DATATRAK
as part of the ClickFind acquisition compared to only seven-and-a-half months in 2006 (February 13,
2006 acquisition date). The impact of the additional sales and development personnel was partially
offset by the savings resulting from the June 2006 and June 2007 staff reductions.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2007, the Company recorded an impairment charge of
$213,000 against its non-compete agreements acquired from ClickFind. As a result of seven
consecutive quarterly operating losses, and forecasted continuing operating losses based on current
sales trends, the Company determined that impairment indicators existed as of September 30, 2007.
The Company conducted interim impairment testing of its goodwill and finite-lived tangible and
intangible assets and determined that some impairment had occurred. No impairment charge was
incurred during the same time period of the prior year.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2007, DATATRAK recorded a charge of $723,000 for
severance benefits, including $54,000 related to stay bonuses, due to terminated employees. The net
reduction of 28 employees in the first nine months of 2007 is expected to decrease annual direct
costs by approximately $795,000 and annual SG&A expenses by approximately $1,395,000. During the
nine months ended September 30, 2006, DATATRAK recorded a charge of $295,000 for severance benefits
due to terminated employees.
Depreciation and amortization expense increased $515,000, or 31%, primarily as a result of the
software and intangible assets acquired in the ClickFind acquisition in February 2006 and the
additional amortization recorded in the second and third quarters of 2007 due to a change in
accounting estimate. Depreciation and amortization expense was $2,179,000 for the nine months ended
September 30, 2007 and $1,664,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2006. Depreciation and
amortization expense on the software and intangible assets acquired in the ClickFind acquisition
was $1,351,000 in the first nine months of 2007 compared to $887,000 in the same time period of
2006, a $464,000 increase. The increase was primarily due to additional amortization recorded from
a change in accounting estimate related to the contract and customer relationships intangible asset
related to the ClickFind acquisition. In addition, amortization was recorded for the full nine
month period in 2007 compared to only seven-and-a-half months in the first nine months of 2006
(February 13, 2006 acquisition date). Hardware purchases since July 2006 contributed to the
increase as well.
Interest income increased by $169,000, to $350,000 in the first nine months of 2007 from
$181,000 in the first nine months of 2006 due to the investment balances for the first nine months
of 2007 being larger than those in the same period for 2006.
Interest expense increased by $38,000 to $286,000 in the first nine months of 2007 compared to
$248,000 in the same time period of 2006 primarily as a result of the ClickFind Notes being
outstanding for the entire nine months of 2007 compared to only seven-and-a-half months in the
comparable 2006 period.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Companys principal sources of cash are cash flow from operations and proceeds from the
sale of equity securities. The Companys investing activities primarily reflect capital
expenditures and sales and purchases of short-term investments. Financing activities include debt
repayments on the ClickFind Notes, the Oracle Agreement and the Dell Agreements. During 2006, the
Company used approximately $4,669,000 in cash for the ClickFind acquisition.
On March 19, 2007, we completed a private placement financing with a group of institutional
investors. In connection with this financing, we sold 1,986,322 common shares at a price of $4.75
per share. The terms of this financing included the issuance of five-year warrants to purchase a
total of 297,948 common shares at $6.00 per share to investors in the private placement, and the
issuance of five-year warrants to purchase a total of 29,795 common shares at $6.00 per share to
the placement agents who assisted the Company in the private placement. The net proceeds from the
sale of the common shares were approximately $8,648,000 (after deducting the offering related
expenses).
15
Contracts with our customers usually require a portion of the contract amount to be paid at
the time the contract is initiated. Additional payments are generally received monthly as work on
the contract progresses. We record all amounts received as a liability (deferred revenue) until
work has been completed and revenue is recognized. Cash receipts do not necessarily correspond to
costs incurred or revenue recognized. We typically receive a low volume of large-dollar receipts
and our accounts receivable will fluctuate due to the timing and size of cash receipts. Our
contracting and collection practices are designed to encourage customer payment of accounts
receivable balances between one to three months from invoice date. Any increase in our days sales
outstanding is an indicator that our cash flow from operations and our working capital has been
negatively impacted. At September 30, 2007, our days sales outstanding was 63 days compared to 51
days at December 31, 2006. The increase in days sales outstanding was caused in part by the delayed
collection of one significant receivable. Subsequent to September 30, 2007, but prior to this
filing, this significant receivable of approximately $120,000 was collected. If the $120,000 would
have been received on September 30, 2007, the days sales outstanding as of September 30, 2007,
would have been 58 days. Accounts receivable (net of allowance for doubtful accounts) was
$1,478,000 at September 30, 2007 and $2,226,000 at December 31, 2006. Deferred revenue was $843,000
at September 30, 2007 compared to $988,000 at December 31, 2006.
Cash and cash equivalents decreased $1,327,000 during the nine months ended September 30,
2007. This was the net result of $4,634,000 used in operating activities, $4,793,000 used in
investing activities and $8,114,000 provided by financing activities. Foreign currency fluctuations
caused a $14,000 decrease in cash and cash equivalents. Cash used in operating activities was
mainly the net result of our net loss of $8,367,000 offset primarily by non-cash depreciation and
amortization of $2,179,000, non-cash impairment loss of $213,000, non-cash stock-based compensation
of $302,000 and a change of $1,302,000 in operating assets and liabilities. Investing activities
included $69,000 used to purchase property and equipment, and net purchases of short-term
investments totaling $4,724,000 (primarily the remaining net proceeds from our March 19, 2007
private placement). In addition to the $69,000 used to purchase property and equipment we entered
into lease agreements during the first nine months of 2007 to purchase $249,000 of property and
equipment which is excluded from the Companys consolidated statement of cash flows. Financing
activities primarily consist of net proceeds of $8,648,000 from the March 19, 2007 private
placement, offset by debt repayments of $575,000 for the ClickFind Notes, $74,000 repayment of an
insurance note and $158,000 for the repayment of capital equipment lease and financing
agreements.
At September 30, 2007, we had working capital of $6,650,000, and our cash, cash equivalents
and short-term investments totaled $8,677,000. Our working capital increased by $2,516,000 since
December 31, 2006.
We are party to a lease agreement that requires us to maintain a restricted cash balance. Our
restricted cash balance was $84,000 at September 30, 2007.
We have established a line of credit with a bank. The line allows us to borrow up to a certain
percentage of our investments, as determined by the type of investment, held at the bank. The line
of credit bears interest at rates based on the prime rate, and is payable on demand. We had no
amounts outstanding against the line of credit at September 30, 2007.
At December 31, 2006, we had a note payable of $74,000 due to Westfield Bank. The final
payment on this note of $75,000, including accrued interest, was made in January 2007. At September
30, 2007, we had a note payable in the amount of $167,000 to Oracle Credit Corporation, payable in
monthly payments of $9,000, including accrued interest through June 2009. Additionally, at
September 30, 2007, we had various capital lease agreements in the amount of $391,000 with Dell
Financial Services, payable in 36 monthly installments currently totaling approximately $16,000,
including accrued interest.
The terms of our acquisition of ClickFind required us to pay approximately $4,000,000 of cash
to the former shareholders of ClickFind in February 2006. We also issued notes payable to the
former shareholders of ClickFind in the amount of $4,000,000. The notes payable have a current
outstanding balance of $3,425,000 and bear interest at prime plus 1%.
16
In connection with the Datasci claim, an arrangement was entered into with certain former
ClickFind shareholders for sharing of the expenses associated with that litigation. Under that
arrangement, a certain portion of principal payments due under the notes would be used to offset a
certain portion of the expenses related to the litigation. Of the $500,000 payment due on February
1, 2007, $79,000 was held by the Company to satisfy these expenses. The Company was permitted to
withhold additional portions of future principal payments to cover further costs associated with
this claim. As of September 30, 2007, an additional $75,000 has been recorded as a reduction to the
notes payable reducing the February 1, 2008 installment to $425,000 from the original $500,000
payment due. In July 2007, DATATRAK settled its litigation related to Datascis patent infringement
claim with no liability against the Company. Of the $3,425,000 of ClickFind Notes outstanding at
September 30, 2007, $2,269,000 is held by one of our executive officers who was the founder of
ClickFind. Of the remaining $1,156,000 of ClickFind Notes, $851,000 is held by other current
employees of DATATRAK.
We intend to continue to fund the maintenance and testing of the DATATRAK EDC® software, as
well as invest in the development, enhancement and testing of
DATATRAK eClinical(TM). In 2007,
revenue from one major customer has significantly decreased from the prior year. We expect to have
negative cash flow from operations during 2007 and 2008 as we transition from dependence on a major
customer to a broader customer base with the expansion of our eClinical product offering. We also
expect to record a net loss in 2007 and 2008. We anticipate cash expenditures for property and
equipment of approximately $50,000 for the remainder of 2007, for the continued commercialization,
enhancement and maintenance of our two clinical trial product offerings as well as improvements to
our internal operating systems. We anticipate financing a portion of the $50,000 of property and
equipment. We record our research and development expenditures as part of SG&A expenses. Our
research and development expenditures will be for the maintenance and
testing of our DATATRAK EDC®
software and the development, enhancement and testing of our DATATRAK
eClinical(TM) software
products. For the nine months ended September 30, 2007, we expensed approximately $1,939,000 for
research and development. During 2007, we anticipate that our research and development expenditures
will increase by approximately $200,000 to $400,000 compared to the full year 2006 amount of
$2,310,000.
If existing sales trends continue over the next 12 months we may need to raise additional
funds in order to meet our short-term working capital requirements. If existing sales trends
continue for, and beyond, the next 12 months, we will need to raise additional funds to meet our
longer-term working capital requirements including our $3,000,000 February 1, 2009 payment
obligation under the ClickFind Note. At September 30, 2007, we had working capital of $6,650,000.
Cash used by operating activities in the third quarter of 2007 was $2,361,000. We are planning
significant cost reductions during the fourth quarter which we expect will yield an annual cost
savings of approximately $2.1 million. On an ongoing basis, we will implement additional cash
management alternatives whenever possible. In addition to the cost savings moves we will initiate
efforts to restructure our debt. We may also need to raise additional funds to offset delays or
cancellations of existing contracts. We may raise additional funds by selling debt or equity
securities, by entering into strategic relationships or through other arrangements. Additional
capital may not be available on acceptable terms, if at all. To the extent that additional equity
capital is raised, it could have a dilutive effect on our existing shareholders.
Inflation
To date, the Company believes the effects of inflation have not had a material adverse effect
on its results of operations or financial condition.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
The Company is exposed to market risk from changes in interest rates and foreign currency
exchange rates since it funds its operations through short-term investments, has issued variable
rate debt and has business transactions in euros. A summary of the Companys market risk exposures
is presented below.
Interest Rate Risk
DATATRAK has fixed income investments consisting of cash equivalents and short-term
investments, and short and long-term notes payable which may be affected by changes in market
interest rates. The Company does not use derivative financial instruments in its investment
portfolio. The Company places its cash equivalents and short-term investments with high-quality
financial institutions, limits the amount of credit exposure to any one institution and has
established investment guidelines relative to diversification and maturities designed to maintain
safety and liquidity. Investments are reported at amortized cost, which approximates fair value. A
1.0 percentage point change in interest rates during the nine months ended September 30, 2007,
would have resulted in a $90,000 change in DATATRAKs interest income during the period.
The Companys notes payable to certain former shareholders of ClickFind bear interest at prime
plus 1%, and interest is paid quarterly. A 1.0 percentage point change in the prime rate during the
nine months ended September 30, 2007, would have resulted in a $28,000 change in DATATRAKs
interest expense during the period.
Foreign Currency Risk
DATATRAKs foreign results of operations are subject to the impact of foreign currency
fluctuations through both foreign currency transaction and foreign currency translation
adjustments. The Company manages its risk to foreign currency transaction adjustments by
maintaining foreign currency bank accounts in currencies in which we regularly transact business.
DATATRAK does not currently hedge against the risk of exchange rate fluctuations.
DATATRAKs financial position and results of operations are impacted by translation
adjustments caused by the conversion of foreign currency accounts and operating results into U.S.
dollars for financial reporting purposes. A 1.0% fluctuation in the exchange rate between the U.S.
dollar and the euro at September 30, 2007, would have resulted in a $5,000 change in the foreign
currency translation amount recorded on the Companys balance sheet. A 1.0% fluctuation in the average exchange rate between the U.S. dollar and the euro
for the nine months ended September 30, 2007, would have resulted in a $32,000 change in the
Companys net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2007, due to foreign currency
transactions. During the nine months ended September 30, 2007, the average exchange rate between
the euro and the U.S. dollar increased by approximately 8.0% compared to the nine months ended
September 30, 2006. The conversion of the Companys foreign operations into U.S. dollars upon
consolidation resulted in a net loss that was approximately $259,000 more than would have been
recorded had the exchange rate between the euro and the U.S. dollar remained consistent with 2006
rates.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
The Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the
Companys management, including the chief executive officer and chief financial officer, of the
design and operation of the Companys disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange
Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-14(e)) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based upon
that evaluation the Companys management, including the chief executive officer and chief financial

Part II. Other Information
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
On July 17, 2006, Datasci, LLC (Datasci) filed a complaint against the Company, ClickFind,
Inc. (ClickFind) and CF Merger Sub, Inc. (Merger Sub) (Civil Docket No. 8:06-cv-01820-MJG,
United States District Court, District of Maryland) alleging infringement of United States Patent
No. 6,496,827. As previously disclosed, on February 13, 2006, the Company acquired ClickFind
pursuant to a merger agreement between the Company, ClickFind and Merger Sub, a wholly owned
subsidiary of the Company. On July 31, 2007, the Company issued a press release announcing that it
had settled its litigation related to Datascis Patent, and entered into a settlement agreement
whereby Datasci agreed to dismiss its claims against the Company with prejudice. In addition, no
payments will be required now or in the future in connection with DATATRAK EDC or DATATRAK
eClinical in their current forms. In connection with this settlement, the Company also accepted a
non-exclusive license from Datasci on a going-forward basis for DATATRAK products which may be
released in the future which implement Datascis patent. However, the Company does not currently
intend to use such license, and accordingly, the Company does not intend to pay any royalties
thereunder to Datasci in connection with any of DATATRAKs product offerings.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
The Risk Factors included in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year
ended December 31, 2006 have not materially changed or been modified, other than as set forth
below:
We may need to raise additional funds to meet our working capital requirements, and there can be no
assurance that we will be able to raise such additional funds.
If existing sales trends continue for the next 12 months, we may need to raise additional
funds in order to meet our short-term working capital requirements. If existing sales trends
continue for, and beyond, the next 12 months, we will need to raise additional funds to meet our
longer-term working capital requirements, including our $3,000,000 February 1, 2009 payment
obligation under the ClickFind Note. The failure to obtain adequate additional funds would have a
material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. There can
be no assurance that we will be able to obtain such additional financing or that, if available,
such additional financing would not result in substantial dilution to our shareholders or otherwise
be on terms disadvantageous to us.
We may lose future revenue if our major customers decrease their research and development
expenditures, if we lose any of our major customers, or if our business with any of our major
customers declines.
Our primary customers are companies in the pharmaceutical industry. Our business is
substantially dependent on the research and development expenditures of companies in that industry.
The extent to which we rely on revenue from one customer varies from period to period, depending
upon, among other things, our ability to generate new business and the timing and size of clinical
trials. In light of our small revenue base, we are more dependent on major customers than many of
the larger participants in the EDC industry.
For example, one of our clients accounted for 46% of our total revenue in the first nine
months of 2006, but only accounted for 17% of our total revenue for the corresponding period in
2007. The decrease in revenue from this one customer accounted for approximately 96% of the
decrease in our total revenue for the first nine months of 2007.
Our operations could be materially and adversely affected by, among other things:
|
|
|
any economic downturn or consolidation in the pharmaceutical or biotechnology
industries; |
|
|
|
|
any decrease in these industries research and development expenditures; |
|
|
|
|
changes in the regulatory environment in which we operate; or |
|
|
|
|
any decline in business with any of our major customers. |
