NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
September 30, 2010
1. Nature of the Business

We are headquartered in Woburn, Massachusetts and maintain various offices worldwide for selling and marketing, research and development and administration. We conduct our operations through two domestic operating subsidiaries, Monotype Imaging Inc. and International Typeface Corporation, and four foreign operating subsidiaries, Monotype Imaging Ltd., Linotype GmbH (Linotype), Monotype Imaging Hong Kong Ltd. and Monotype Imaging KK.
2. Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements as of September 30, 2010 and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009 include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries and have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP) for interim financial reporting and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) for Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, such financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. GAAP requires the Companys management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the year or for any future periods.
In managements opinion, these unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements contain all adjustments of a normal recurring nature necessary for a fair presentation of the financial statements for the interim periods presented.
These unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Companys audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2009 as reported in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K.
3. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures
In January 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic No. 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, (ASC 820). ASC 820 improves disclosures about fair value measurements, requiring disclosures about valuation techniques and inputs used to measure fair value for both recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements (class Level 2 or Level 3). Details regarding each class level, as defined by ASC 820, can be found in Note 4. In addition, more details are required regarding significant transfers between Levels 1 and 2 and the reasons for these transfers. New disclosures and clarifications regarding existing disclosures are effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009, except for details regarding purchases, sales, issuances and settlements in the activity roll forward of class Level 3 which is effective for fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2010 and interim periods within those fiscal periods. We adopted the first provision of ASC 820 and the adoption did not have a material impact on the Companys results of operations, financial position or liquidity.
Multiple-Deliverable Revenue Arrangements
In October 2009, the FASB approved for issuance ASC Subtopic No. 605-25, Revenue Recognition Multiple-Element Arrangements, (ASC 605-25). ASC 605-25 provides principles for allocation of consideration among its multiple-elements, allowing more flexibility in identifying and accounting for separate deliverables under an arrangement. It introduces an estimated selling price method for valuing the elements of a bundled arrangement if vendor-specific objective evidence or third-party evidence of selling price is not available, and significantly expands related disclosure requirements. ASC 605-25 is effective on a prospective basis for revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified in fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010. Alternatively, adoption may be on a retrospective basis, and early application is permitted. We do not expect the adoption of this pronouncement to have a material impact on the Companys results of operations, financial position or liquidity.

4. Financial Instruments
Derivative Financial Instruments
On November 28, 2008, we entered into a long term interest rate swap contract to pay a fixed rate of interest of 2.2% in exchange for a floating rate interest payment tied to the one-month London Inter-Bank Offering Rate (LIBOR) to mitigate our exposure to interest rate fluctuations on our debt obligations. The contract has a notional amount of $50.0 million and matures on November 28, 2010. The total fair value of this financial instrument at September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009 was a liability of approximately $0.2 million and $0.8 million, respectively.
On May 24, 2010, we entered into a long term interest rate swap contract to pay a fixed rate of interest of 1.5% in exchange for a floating rate interest payment tied to the one-month LIBOR beginning November 28, 2010 to mitigate our exposure to interest rate fluctuations on our debt obligations for the remainder of the term of the note. The contract has a notional amount of $50.0 million with a $20.0 million reduction in the notional amount in 2012 and matures on July 30, 2012. The total fair value of this financial instrument at September 30, 2010 was a liability of $0.7 million. We did not designate either contract as a hedge; as such, associated gains and losses are recorded in our condensed consolidated statements of income. The current portions of the interest rate swaps are included in accrued expenses and other current liabilities and the long-term portion of the swap is included in other long-term liabilities in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets.
On May 7, 2008, we entered into a long term currency swap contract to purchase 18.3 million Euros in exchange for $28.0 million to mitigate foreign currency exchange rate risk on a Euro denominated intercompany note. We incurred net gains of $1.3 million and $0.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively, on the intercompany note. In the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, we incurred a net loss of $1.0 million and a gain of $0.9 million, respectively, on the intercompany note. The currency swap matures on December 14, 2012. The contract payment terms approximate the payment terms of this intercompany note. The currency swap contract reduces the availability under our revolving line-of-credit by $4.0 million. The total fair value of the financial instrument at September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009 was an asset of approximately $1.5 million and $1.1 million, respectively. The current portion of the currency swap is included in prepaid expenses and other current assets and the long-term portion of the swap is included in other long-term assets in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets.
The following table presents the losses and (gains) on our derivative financial instruments which are included in loss (gain) on derivatives in our accompanying condensed consolidated statements of income (in thousands):

Fair Value Measurements
Fair value is based on the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In order to increase consistency and comparability in fair value measurements, the Codification establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes observable and unobservable inputs used to measure fair value into three broad levels, which are described below:
Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for assets or liabilities. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to Level 1 inputs.
Level 2: Other inputs that are observable directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities or market corroborated inputs.
Level 3: Unobservable inputs are used when little or no market data is available and requires the Company to develop its own assumptions about how market participants would price the assets or liabilities. The fair value hierarchy gives the lowest priority to Level 3 inputs.
6
In determining fair value, the Company utilizes valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs to the extent possible as well as considers counterparty and our own credit risk in its assessment of fair value.
The following table presents our financial assets and liabilities that are carried at fair value, classified according to the three categories described above (in thousands):

The Companys recurring fair value measurements relate to derivative instruments. The fair value of our derivatives is based on quoted market prices from various banking institutions or an independent third party provider for similar instruments. In determining the fair value, we consider our non-performance risk and that of our counterparties. At September 30, 2010 the fair value of our long-term debt approximated its carrying value of $78.5 million. The Companys non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities subject to non-recurring measurements include goodwill and intangible assets.

7. Defined Benefit Pension Plan
Linotype maintains an unfunded defined benefit pension plan based on the Versorgungsordnung der Heidelberger Druckmaschinen AG (the Linotype Plan) which covers substantially all employees of Linotype who joined before April 1, 2006, at which time the Linotype Plan was closed. Employees are entitled to benefits in the form of retirement, disability and surviving dependent pensions. Benefits generally depend on years of service and the salary of the employees.

10. Net Income Per Share
Basic and diluted earnings per share are computed pursuant to the two-class method. The two-class method determines earnings per share for each class of common stock and participating security according to their respective participation rights in undistributed earnings. Unvested restricted stock awards granted to employees are considered participating securities as they receive non-forfeitable rights to cash dividends at the same rate as common stock. In accordance with ASC Topic No. 260, Earnings Per Share, diluted net income per share is calculated using the more dilutive of the following two approaches:
1. | Assume exercise of stock options and vesting of restricted stock using the treasury stock method. |
2. | Assume exercise of stock options using the treasury stock method, but assume participating securities (unvested restricted stock) are not vested and allocate earnings to common shares and participating securities using the two-class method. |
For all periods presented, the treasury stock method was used in the computation of diluted net income per share, as the result was more dilutive. The following presents a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator used in the calculation of basic and diluted net income per share (in thousands, except share and per share data):

12. Restructuring
On November 10, 2008, we implemented a restructuring plan. Under the plan, we reduced headcount in certain areas of the Company and redeployed certain other employees within the Company in order to focus on key initiatives across the business. This restructuring plan was completed in April 2009, other than the payment of deferred termination benefits to certain terminated employees. A second restructuring plan was implemented on October 21, 2009, which included certain actions that were taken during the three months ended September 30, 2009, in advance of finalizing the plan. Under the restructuring plan, the Company reduced headcount to improve operational efficiencies, primarily within the creative professional area of our business, and consolidated certain functions of our European operations within our United States and United Kingdom offices. The plan provided for the elimination of 15 positions worldwide. The Company has recorded total charges to operations of approximately $0.9 million for severance and termination benefits associated with this plan; approximately $0.7 million in 2009, $0.2 million in the first quarter of 2010, $20 thousand in the second quarter of 2010 and a credit of $16 thousand in the third quarter of 2010, respectively. The restructuring plan was completed in the first quarter of 2010, other than the payment of deferred termination benefits to certain terminated employees.

13. Segment Reporting
We view our operations and manage our business as one segment: the development, marketing and licensing of technologies and fonts. Factors used to identify our single segment include the financial information available for evaluation by our chief operating decision maker in making decisions about how to allocate resources and assess performance. While our technologies and services are sold into two principal markets, OEM and creative professional, expenses and assets are not formally allocated to these market segments, and operating results are assessed on an aggregate basis to make decisions about the allocation of resources. The following table presents revenue for these two major markets (in thousands):

Geographic segment information
The Company attributes revenues to geographic areas based on the location of our subsidiary receiving such revenue. For example, licenses may be sold to large international companies which may be headquartered in Korea, but the sales are received and recorded by our subsidiary located in the United States. In this example, the revenue would be reflected in the United States totals in the table below. We market our products and services through offices in the U.S., United Kingdom, Germany, Hong Kong, Korea and Japan. The following summarizes revenue by location:

14. Concentration of credit risk
We grant credit to customers in the ordinary course of business. Credit evaluations are performed on an ongoing basis to reduce credit risk, and no collateral is required from our customers. An allowance for uncollectible accounts is provided for those accounts receivable considered to be uncollectible based upon historical experience and credit evaluation. Due to the nature of our business and timing of our contracts, we sometimes have significant balances in accounts receivable from just a small number of customers. As of September 30, 2010 one customer balance accounted for 12% of our gross accounts receivable. As of December 31, 2009, two customers individually accounted for 15% and 12% of our gross accounts receivable, respectively. Historically, we have not recorded material losses due to customer nonpayment. In the three months ended September 30, 2010 one customer accounted for 10% of our total revenue. No one customer accounted for more than 10% of our total revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2009 or nine months ended September 30, 2010 or 2009.
15. Commitments and Contingencies
Legal Proceedings
From time to time, we may be a party to various claims, suits and complaints. We are not currently a party to any legal proceedings that, if determined adversely to us, would have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations or financial condition.
Licensing Warranty
Under our standard license agreement with our OEM customers, we warrant that the licensed technologies are free of infringement claims of intellectual property rights and will meet the specifications as defined in the licensing agreement for a ninety-day period. Under the licensing agreements, liability for such indemnity obligations is limited, generally to the total arrangement fee; however, exceptions have been made on a case-by-case basis, increasing the maximum potential liability to agreed upon amounts at the time the contract is entered into. We have never incurred costs payable to a customer or business partner to defend lawsuits or settle claims related to these warranties, and as a result, management believes the estimated fair value of these warranties is minimal. Accordingly, there are no liabilities recorded for these warranties as of September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009.
Item 2. | Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations |
Forward Looking Statements and Projections
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward looking statements. Forward looking statements relate to future events or our future financial performance. We generally identify forward looking statements by terminology such as may, will, should, expects, plans, anticipates, could, intends, target, projects, contemplates, believes, estimates, predicts, potential or continue or the negative of these terms or other similar words. These statements are only predictions. We have based these forward looking statements largely on our current expectations and projections about future events and financial trends that we believe may affect our business, results of operations and financial condition. The outcome of the events described in these forward looking statements is subject to risks, uncertainties and other factors described in Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, Risk Factors and elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Accordingly, you should not rely upon forward looking statements as predictions of future events. We cannot assure you that the events and circumstances reflected in the forward looking statements will be achieved or occur, and actual results could differ materially from those projected in the forward looking statements. The forward looking statements made in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q relate only to events as of the date on which the statements are made. We undertake no obligation to update any forward looking statement to reflect events or circumstances after the date on which the statement is made or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.

Overview
We are a leading global provider of text imaging solutions. Our end-user and embedded solutions for print, web and mobile environments enable people to create and consume dynamic content on any and every device. Our technologies and fonts enable the display and printing of high quality digital text. Our software technologies have been widely deployed across, and embedded in, a range of consumer electronics, or CE, devices, including laser printers, digital copiers, mobile phones, digital televisions, set-top boxes, navigation devices, digital cameras, e-book readers and consumer appliances, as well as in numerous software applications and operating systems. In the laser printer market, we have worked together with industry leaders for over 18 years to provide critical components embedded in printing standards. Our scaling, compression, text layout, color and printer driver and user interface technologies solve critical text imaging issues for CE device manufacturers by rendering high quality text on low resolution and memory constrained CE devices. We combine these proprietary technologies with access to more than 13,000 typefaces from a library of some of the most widely used designs in the world, including popular names such as Helvetica and Times New Roman. We also license our typefaces to creative and business professionals through our e-commerce websites fonts.com, linotype.com, itcfonts.com, faces.co.uk, fontexplorerx.com and webfonts.fonts.com, which attracted more than 27 million visits in 2009 from over 200 countries and territories, direct and indirect sales and custom font design services.
Sources of Revenue
We derive revenue from two principal sources: licensing our text imaging solutions to CE device manufacturers and independent software vendors, which we refer to as our OEM revenue, and licensing our fonts to creative and business professionals, which we refer to as our creative professional revenue. We derive our OEM revenue primarily from CE device manufacturers. We derive our creative professional revenue primarily from multinational corporations, graphic designers, advertisers, printers and publishers. Some of our revenue streams, particularly custom revenue where spending is largely discretionary in nature, have historically been and we expect them to continue to be in the future, more susceptible to weakening economic conditions.

For the three months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, sales by our subsidiaries located outside North America comprised 63.2% and 68.5%, respectively, of our total revenue. For the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, sales by our subsidiaries located outside North America comprised 63.4% and 66.6%, respectively, of our total revenue. We expect that sales by our international subsidiaries will continue to represent a substantial portion of our revenue for the foreseeable future. Future international revenue will depend on the continued use and expansion of our text imaging solutions worldwide.
We derive a majority of our revenue from a limited number of customers, in particular manufacturers of laser printers and mobile phones. For the three months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, our top ten licensees by revenue accounted for approximately 51.2% and 45.2% of our total revenue, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009,
14
our top ten licensees by revenue accounted for approximately 50.5% and 48.1% of our total revenue, respectively. In the three months ended September 30, 2010 one customer accounted for 10.2% of our total revenue. Although no one customer accounted for more than 10% of our total revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2009 or nine months ended September 30, 2010 or 2009, if we are unable to maintain relationships with major customers or establish relationships with new customers, our licensing revenue will be adversely affected.
OEM Revenue
Our OEM revenue is derived substantially from per-unit royalties received for printer imaging, display imaging and printer driver, or driver, products. Under our licensing arrangements, we typically receive a royalty for each product unit incorporating our text imaging solutions that is shipped by our OEM customers. We also receive OEM revenue from fixed fee licenses with certain of our OEM customers. Fixed fee licensing arrangements are not based on units the customer ships, but instead, customers pay us on a periodic basis for the right to embed our text imaging solutions. Though significantly less than royalties from per-unit shipments and fixed fees from OEM customers, we also receive revenue from software application and operating systems vendors who include our text imaging solutions in their products, and for font development. Many of our licenses continue so long as our OEM customers ship products that include our technology, unless terminated for breach. Other licenses have terms that range from three to five years and usually provide for automatic or optional renewals. Revenue from per-unit royalties is recognized in the period during which we receive a royalty report from a customer, typically one quarter after royalty-bearing units are shipped. Revenue from fixed fee licenses is generally recognized when it is billed to the customer, so long as the product and any related services have been delivered, the license fee is fixed and non-refundable and collection is probable.
Creative Professional Revenue
Our creative professional revenue is derived from font licenses and from custom font design services. We license fonts directly to end-users through our e-commerce websites, via telephone, email and indirectly through third-party resellers. We also license fonts and provide custom font design services to graphic designers, advertising agencies, publishers and corporations.
Revenue from font licenses to our e-commerce customers is recognized upon payment by the customer and electronic shipment of the software embodying the font. Revenue from font licenses to other customers is recognized upon shipment of the software embodying the font. Revenue from resellers is recognized upon notification from the reseller that our font product has been licensed. We generally recognize custom font design services revenue upon delivery.
Gross Profit
Our gross profit percentage is influenced by a number of factors including product mix, pricing and volume at any particular time. However, our cost of OEM revenue is typically lower than our cost of creative professional revenue because we own a higher percentage of the fonts licensed to our OEM customers, provide value-added technology and have negotiated lower royalty rates on the fonts we license from third parties because of volume. Within our creative professional business, the cost of our custom design service revenue is substantially higher than the cost of our other revenue. As a result, our gross profit varies from period-to-period depending on the mix between, and within, OEM and creative professional revenue.
Restructuring
On November 10, 2008, the Company implemented a restructuring plan. Under the restructuring plan, the Company reduced headcount in certain areas and redeployed certain other employees within the Company in order to focus on key initiatives across the business. The small headcount reduction was intended to be offset by the hiring of a few key additional employees whose technical expertise is better aligned with our key initiatives and we did not anticipate an overall change in headcount, however, certain planned new hires were delayed in consideration of economic conditions. This restructuring plan was completed in April 2009. We implemented a second restructuring plan on October 21, 2009, which includes certain actions that were taken during the three months ended September 30, 2009 in advance of finalizing the plan. Under the restructuring plan, the Company reduced headcount in an effort to improve operational efficiencies, primarily within the creative professional area of our business, and consolidated certain functions of our European operations within our United States and United Kingdom offices. The plan provided for the elimination of 15 positions worldwide. The Company recorded charges of approximately $0.9 million for severance and termination benefits associated with this plan. This restructuring plan was completed in the first quarter of 2010, other than the payment of deferred termination benefits to certain terminated employees. Future cash expenditures related to the restructuring are expected to be approximately $26 thousand, net of tax savings.

Critical Accounting Policies
The preparation of financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with GAAP and our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations requires us to make judgments, assumptions and estimates that affect the amounts reported in our consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

Sales by Segment. We view our operations and manage our business as one segment: the development, marketing and licensing of technologies and fonts. Factors used to identify our single segment include the financial information available for evaluation by our chief operating decision maker in making decisions about how to allocate resources and assess performance. While our technologies and services are sold to customers in two principal markets (CE device manufacturers and independent software vendors, together OEM, and creative professional), expenses and assets are not formally allocated to these markets, and operating results are assessed on an aggregate basis to make decisions about the allocation of resources.

Revenue
Revenue was $28.4 million and $23.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively, an increase of $5.3 million, or 23.1%.
OEM revenue increased $5.2 million, or 31.6%, to $21.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2010, as compared to $16.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2009, a result of increased revenue across all lines of our OEM business, mainly driven by increased unit shipments by our OEM customers.
Creative professional revenue was $6.9 million and $6.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively, an increase of $0.2 million, or 2.6%, primarily due to an increase in non-web revenue. Non-web revenue which includes custom and direct, increased $0.2 million in the third quarter of 2010, as compared to the same period in 2009, primarily the result of increased direct sales to our enterprise customers.
Cost of Revenue
Cost of revenue, excluding amortization of acquired technology, was $1.8 million for both the three months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively. As a percentage of total revenue, cost of revenue, excluding amortization of acquired technology, was 6.4% and 7.7% in the three months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The decrease as a percentage of revenue was mainly due to variations in product mix. In the three months ended September 30, 2010 as compared to the same period in 2009, a higher percentage of revenue was derived from products that carry a lower royalty cost.
The portion of cost of revenue consisting of amortization of acquired technology was $0.9 million and $0.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively.
Gross Profit
Gross profit was 90.5% of sales in the three months ended September 30, 2010, as compared to 88.6% in the three months ended September 30, 2009, an increase of 1.9 percentage points. Our gross profit percentage is influenced by a number of factors including product mix, pricing and volume at any particular time. OEM revenue represented 75.7% of our total revenue in the third quarter of 2010, as compared to 70.9% in the same period in 2009. Our OEM revenue typically has a lower associated cost than our creative professional revenue.
Operating Expenses
Marketing and Selling. Marketing and selling expense was $6.7 million and $5.8 million in the three months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively, an increase of $0.9 million, or 16.2%. Personnel and personnel related expenses increased $0.8 million, in the third quarter of 2010, as compared to the same period in 2009, mainly the result of higher variable compensation due to a higher sales volume.
Research and Development. Research and development expense was $3.9 million and $3.4 million in the three months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively, an increase of $0.5 million or 17.4%. Personnel and personnel related expenses increased $0.8 million in the three months ended September 30, 2010, as compared to the same period in 2009, mainly the result of an increase in variable compensation and higher salary expense.
General and Administrative. General and administrative expense was $4.1 million and $3.6 million in the three months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively, an increase of $0.5 million, or 15.1%. Personnel and personnel related expenses increased $0.5 million in the third quarter of 2010, as compared to the same period in 2009, mainly the result of variable compensation.
17
Amortization of Other Intangible Assets. Amortization of other intangible assets was unchanged at $1.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively.
Interest Expense, Net
Interest expense, net of interest income was $1.1 million and $1.0 million in the three months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively, an increase of $0.1 million or 7.4%. The increase in interest expense was the result of an increase in the interest rates on the outstanding debt. At September 30, 2010, the blended interest rate on our credit facility arranged by Wells Fargo Foothill, or our Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, was 4.0%, as compared to a blended rate of 3.0% at September 30, 2009. The interest rate on our outstanding debt was increased by one percentage point in connection with an amendment of our credit facility in October 2009. The increase was mostly offset by lower total debt outstanding in the third quarter of 2010, as compared to the same period in 2009. Total debt outstanding, net of unamortized financing costs, at September 30, 2010 was $78.5 million, as compared to $99.2 million at September 30, 2009.
(Gain) Loss on Foreign Exchange
(Gain) loss on foreign exchange were gains of $1.2 million in the three months ended September 30, 2010, as compared to $0.7 million in the three months ended September 30, 2009. Such gains and losses result primarily from our Euro denominated intercompany note.
Loss (Gain) on Derivatives
Loss (gain) on derivatives was a loss of $1.6 million in the three months ended September 30, 2010, as compared to a loss of $1.1 million in the three months ended September 30, 2009, the net result of changes to the market value of our swap contracts. In the third quarter of 2010, we recorded losses of $1.2 million on our currency swap contract and $0.4 million on our interest rates swap contracts. The loss in the third quarter of 2009 consisted of a $0.9 million loss on our currency swap and a $0.2 million loss on our interest rate swap contract.
Provision for Income Taxes
During the three months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, our effective tax rate was 28.0% and 40.6%, respectively. During the third quarter of 2010, the effective tax rate included a 4.3% decrease due to the reversal of reserves for income taxes and a 1.9% decrease for the effect of rate changes on deferred taxes in the third quarter of 2010.
During the three months ended September 30, 2009 the effective rate included a 2.4% increase due to permanent non-deductible share based compensation expense. In connection with the preparation of its federal, state and foreign tax returns during the three months ended September 30, 2009, the Company adjusted the foreign tax credit to the actual amount paid from a previous estimate, which resulted in a 5.7% increase to our effective tax rate. The actual amount of foreign taxes paid was $0.3 million lower than previously estimated. Other items, including research and development tax credit, favorable changes in state tax rates and change in tax reserves collectively decreased the effective tax rate by 2.4% for the three months ended September 30, 2009.

Non-web revenue, which includes direct, consulting and indirect, increased $0.9 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2010, as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2009, primarily due an increase in direct sales to our enterprise customers. Web revenue increased $0.5 million in the first three quarters of 2010, as compared to the same period in 2009, mainly the result of continued growth in web sales of our Font Explorer X font management software, partially offset by unfavorable currency fluctuations.

Gross Profit
Gross profit was 89.4% in the nine months ended September 30, 2010, as compared to 89.1% in the nine months ended September 30, 2009, an increase of 0.3%, mainly due to product mix.

Other items, including research and development tax credit, favorable changes in state tax rates and change in tax reserves, collectively decreased the effective tax rate by 0.9% for the nine months ended September 30, 2009.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Cash Flows for the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2010 and 2009
Since our inception, we have financed our operations primarily through cash from operations, private and public stock sales and long-term debt arrangements, as described below. We believe our existing cash and cash equivalents, our cash flow from operating activities and available bank borrowings will be sufficient to meet our anticipated cash needs for at least the next twelve months. At September 30, 2010, our principal sources of liquidity were cash and cash equivalents totaling $54.6 million and a $20.0 million revolving line-of-credit which was undrawn at September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009; however, availability under the line-of-credit was reduced by approximately $4.0 million at both September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009 as a result of our outstanding derivative instruments with our lender. In March 2010 and 2009, we made mandatory prepayments of $5.2 million and $7.4 million, respectively, under our Amended and Restated Credit Agreement. Our future working capital requirements will depend on many factors, including the operations of our existing business, our potential strategic expansion, and future acquisitions we might undertake and expansion into complementary businesses. To the extent that our cash and cash equivalents, our current debt arrangements and our cash flow from operating activities are insufficient to fund our future activities, we may need to raise additional funds through bank credit arrangements or public or private equity or debt financings. In the event additional funding is required, we may not be able to obtain bank credit arrangements or affect an equity or debt financing on terms acceptable to us, especially in light of the economic downturn and the inability or unwillingness of lenders to extend credit.
The following table presents our cash flows from operating activities, investing activities and financing activities for the periods presented (in thousands):

Operating Activities
Since 2005, our operating activities have generated positive cash flows. Significant variations in operating cash flows may occur because, from time to time, our customers make prepayments against future royalties. Prepayments may be required under the terms of our license agreements and are occasionally made on an elective basis and often cause significant fluctuations in cash, accounts receivable and deferred revenue.
21
We generated $35.7 million in cash from operations during the nine months ended September 30, 2010. Net income, after adjusting for depreciation and amortization, amortization of deferred financing costs, loss on retirement of fixed assets, share based compensation, excess tax benefit on stock options, provision for doubtful accounts, deferred income taxes, unrealized currency gain on foreign denominated intercompany transactions, and unrealized loss on derivatives generated $25.1 million in cash. Deferred revenue generated $5.0 million in cash, resulting primarily from the receipt of two large royalty prepayments. Collections on accounts receivable, decreases in prepaid expenses and other assets and increases in accrued income taxes provided $3.0 million in cash. The $2.7 million increase in accrued expenses and other liabilities was mainly due to an increase in variable compensation in the current year. Due to the timing of vendor payments, accounts payable used $0.1 million in cash.
We generated $22.3 million in cash from operations during the nine months ended September 30, 2009. Net income, after adjusting for depreciation and amortization, amortization of deferred financing costs, loss on retirement of fixed assets, share based compensation, excess tax benefit on stock options, provision for doubtful accounts, deferred income taxes, unrealized currency gain on foreign denominated intercompany transactions, and unrealized loss on derivatives generated $21.8 million in cash. Lower sales volume during 2009 combined with a few large customer balances included in the accounts receivable balance at December 31, 2008 that we collected in 2009 together provided $1.6 million in cash from our receivables. Deferred revenue provided $2.4 million in cash, primarily the receipt of two large royalty prepayments. Accounts payable provided $0.6 million in cash, mainly due to timing of vendor payments. These were offset by a decrease in accrued expenses and other liabilities, accrued income taxes and an increase in prepaid expenses and other assets which used $4.1 million in cash.
Investing Activities
During the nine months ended September 30, 2010, we used $3.6 million in cash for investing activities, which consisted of the purchase of an exclusive license and purchases of property and equipment. During the nine months ended September 30, 2009, we used $0.8 million in cash for investing activities, which consisted of purchased equipment.
Financing Activities
Cash used in financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 was $12.3 million. Payments on long-term debt used $13.4 million in cash, partially offset by $0.6 million in cash received from stock option exercises and $0.5 million related to the excess tax benefit on stock options for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. Cash used in financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 was $14.8 million, primarily the result of contractual payments on our long-term debt.
Credit Facility
On July 30, 2007, in connection with our initial public offering, we entered into our Amended and Restated Credit Agreement. The principal amount of our term loan was increased to $140.0 million payable in monthly installments of approximately $1.2 million throughout the term of the facility, which expires in July 2012. The Amended and Restated Credit Agreement provides for an additional annual mandatory principal payment based on excess cash flow, as defined in the agreement, which must be paid within five days of the delivery of our audited financial statements. Our prepayment of $5.2 million was made in March 2010. The Amended and Restated Credit Agreement is secured by substantially all of our assets and places limitations on indebtedness, liens, dividends and distributions, asset sales, transactions with affiliates and acquisitions and conduct of business, all as defined in the agreements. On October 30, 2009 we entered into a second amendment to our Amended and Restated Credit Agreement primarily to permit us to use up to $15.0 million of cash per year for acquisitions. The definition of Adjusted EBITDA was amended to permit add backs for restructuring expenses and certain non-operating and non-cash items. In connection with this amendment, we made a $5.0 million principal payment on our debt. The margin rate of prime and LIBOR borrowings were increased to 2.25% and 3.75%, respectively, which reflects a one percentage point increase to each rate. In addition we paid a fee of $0.6 million which is being amortized over the remaining life of the debt. A minimum liquidity requirement was added that requires us to maintain a minimum level of available cash, which is defined as cash held in U.S. banks plus available borrowings under our line of credit, of $20.0 million. At September 30, 2010 our available cash was $67.2 million.
Borrowings under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement bear interest at either (i) the prime rate plus 2.25%, as defined in the credit agreement, or (ii) LIBOR plus a 3.75%, payable monthly. As of September 30, 2010, the blended interest rate on the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement was 4.0%. In addition, the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement provides that we maintain a maximum leverage ratio. The leverage ratio is defined as the ratio of aggregate outstanding indebtedness to trailing twelve months Adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as consolidated net earnings (or loss), plus net interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization and share based compensation expense, plus restructuring, issuance costs, cash non-operating costs and other expenses or losses minus cash non-operating gains and other non-cash gains; provided however that the aggregate of all cash non-operating expense shall not exceed $250 thousand
22
and all such fees, costs and expenses shall not exceed $1.5 million on a trailing twelve months basis. As of September 30, 2010, the maximum leverage ratio permitted was 2.75:1.00 and our leverage ratio was 1.77:1.00. The Amended and Restated Credit Agreement also contains a no material adverse change clause.

Adjusted EBITDA as an operating performance measure has material limitations since it excludes the statement of income impact of depreciation and amortization expense, interest expense, net, the provision (benefit) for income taxes and share based compensation and therefore does not represent an accurate measure of profitability, particularly in situations where a company is highly leveraged or has a disadvantageous tax structure. We have significant intangible assets and amortization expense is a meaningful element in our financial statements and therefore its exclusion from Adjusted EBITDA is a material limitation. We have a significant amount of debt, and interest expense is a necessary element of our costs and therefore its exclusion from Adjusted EBITDA is a material limitation. We generally incur significant U.S. federal, state and foreign income taxes each year and the provision for income taxes is a necessary element of our costs and therefore its exclusion from Adjusted EBITDA is a material limitation. Share based compensation and the associated expense has a meaningful impact on our financial statements. Non-cash expenses, restructuring, issuance and cash non-operating expenses have a meaningful impact on our financial statements. Therefore, their exclusion from Adjusted EBITDA is a material limitation. As a result, Adjusted EBITDA should be evaluated in conjunction with net income for complete analysis of our profitability, as net income includes the financial statement impact of these items and is the most directly comparable GAAP operating performance measure to Adjusted EBITDA. As Adjusted EBITDA is not defined by GAAP, our definition of Adjusted EBITDA may differ from and therefore may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies, thereby limiting its usefulness as a comparative measure. Because of the limitations that Adjusted EBITDA has as an analytical tool, investors should not consider it in isolation, or as a substitute for analysis of our operating results as reported under GAAP. |
(2) | The definition of Adjusted EBITDA was modified on October 30, 2009. As a result, certain add-backs to Adjusted EBITDA are not applicable in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009. |
(3) | Permits an add-back of up to $250 thousand of cash non-operating expense, which is not to exceed $1.5 million when combined together with restructuring and issuance costs. |
The Amended and Restated Credit Agreement also contains provisions for an increased interest rate during periods of default. We do not believe that these covenants will affect our ability to operate our business, and we were in compliance with the covenants under our Amended and Restated Credit Agreement as of September 30, 2010.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures
In January 2010, the FASB issued ASC Topic No. 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, (ASC 820). ASC 820 improves disclosures about fair value measurements, requiring disclosures about valuation techniques and inputs used to measure fair value for both recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements (class Level 2 or Level 3). Details regarding each class level, as defined by ASC 820, can be found in Note 4. In addition, more details are required regarding significant transfers between Levels 1 and 2 and the reasons for these transfers. New disclosures and clarifications regarding existing disclosures are effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009, except for details
23
regarding purchases, sales, issuances and settlements in the activity roll forward of class Level 3 which is effective for fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2010 and interim periods within those fiscal periods. We adopted the first provision of ASC 820 and the adoption did not have a material impact on the Companys results of operations, financial position or liquidity.
Multiple-Deliverable Revenue Arrangements
In October 2009, the FASB approved for issuance ASC Subtopic No. 605-25, Revenue Recognition Multiple-Element Arrangements, (ASC 605-25). ASC 605-25 provides principles for allocation of consideration among its multiple-elements, allowing more flexibility in identifying and accounting for separate deliverables under an arrangement. It introduces an estimated selling price method for valuing the elements of a bundled arrangement if vendor-specific objective evidence or third-party evidence of selling price is not available, and significantly expands related disclosure requirements. ASC 605-25 is effective on a prospective basis for revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified in fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010. Alternatively, adoption may be on a retrospective basis, and early application is permitted. We do not expect the adoption of this pronouncement to have a material impact the Companys results of operations, financial position or liquidity.
Item 3. | Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk |
We are exposed to financial market risk, including interest rate risk and foreign currency exchange risk.
Concentration of Revenue and Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject us to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and cash equivalents and trade receivables. Cash equivalents consist primarily of bank deposits and overnight repurchase agreements. Deposits of cash held outside the United States totaled approximately $3.4 million and $4.3 million at September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively.
We grant credit to customers in the ordinary course of business. Credit evaluations are performed on an ongoing basis to reduce credit risk, and no collateral is required from our customers. An allowance for uncollectible accounts is provided for those accounts receivable considered to be uncollectible based upon historical experience and credit evaluation. As of September 30, 2010, one customer balance accounted for 12% of gross accounts receivable. As of December 31, 2009, two customers accounted for 15% and 12% of our gross accounts receivable. Due to the nature of our quarterly revenue streams derived from royalty revenue, it is not unusual for our accounts receivable balances to include a few customers with large balances. Historically, we have not recorded material losses due to customers nonpayment.
For the three months ended September 30, 2010, one customer accounted for 10% of our total revenue. No one customer accounted for more than 10% of our revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2009 or for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively.
Derivative Financial Instrument and Interest Rate Risk
We use interest rate derivative instruments to hedge our exposure to interest rate volatility resulting from our variable rate debt. ASC Topic No. 815, Derivatives and Hedging, or ASC 815, requires that all derivative instruments be reported on the balance sheet at fair value and establishes criteria for designation and effectiveness of hedging relationships, including a requirement that all designations must be made at the inception of each instrument. As we did not make such initial designations, changes in the fair value of the derivative instrument are recognized as current period income or expense.
The fair value of derivative instruments is estimated based on the amount that we would receive or pay to terminate the agreements at the reporting date. Our exposure to market risk associated with changes in interest rates relates primarily to our long term debt. The interest rate on our Amended and Restated Credit Agreement fluctuates with either the prime rate or the LIBOR interest rate. At September 30, 2010, the blended rate of interest on our outstanding debt was 4.0%. For each one percent increase in interest rates our interest expense would increase by $0.8 million; however, this would be mitigated by our interest rate swap. We purchase interest rate swap instruments to hedge our exposure to interest rate fluctuations on our debt obligations. On November 28, 2008, we entered into a long term interest rate swap contract to pay a fixed rate of interest of 2.2% in exchange for a floating rate interest payment tied to the one-month LIBOR. The contract has a notional amount of $50.0 million and matures on November 28, 2010. On May 24, 2010, we entered into a long term interest rate swap contract to pay a fixed rate of interest of 1.5% in exchange for a floating rate interest payment tied to the one-month LIBOR beginning January 2011. The contract has a notional amount of $50.0 million with a $20.0 million reduction in the notional amount in 2012 and matures on July 30, 2012. The total fair value of these financial instruments at September 30, 2010, and December 31, 2009, was a liability of approximately $0.9 million and $0.8 million, respectively. In the three months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, we recognized losses of $0.4 million and $0.2 million, respectively. In the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, we recognized losses of $0.8 million and $0.7 million, respectively. The losses have been included in loss (gain) on derivatives in our accompanying condensed consolidated statements of income.
24
Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk
In accordance with ASC Topic No. 830, Foreign Currency Matters, or ASC 830, all assets and liabilities of our foreign subsidiaries whose functional currency is a currency other than U.S. dollars are translated into U.S. dollars at an exchange rate as of the balance sheet date. Revenue and expenses of these subsidiaries are translated at the average monthly exchange rates. The resulting translation adjustments as calculated from the translation of our foreign subsidiaries to U.S. dollars are recorded as a separate component of stockholders equity.
We also incur foreign currency exchange gains and losses related to certain customers that are invoiced in U.S. dollars, but who have the option to make an equivalent payment in their own functional currencies at a specified exchange rate as of a specified date. In the period from that date until payment in the customers functional currency is received and converted into U.S. dollars, we can incur unrealized gains and losses. To mitigate our exposure we utilize forward contracts with maturities of 90 days or less to hedge our exposure to these currency fluctuations. Any increase or decrease in the fair value of the forward contracts is offset by the change in the value of the hedged assets of our consolidated foreign affiliate. At September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, there were no currency contracts outstanding.
In addition, we incur foreign currency exchange rate gains and losses on an intercompany note with one of our foreign subsidiaries that is denominated in Euros. At September 30, 2010, the note balance was approximately $12.3 million. The effect of an immediate 10% strengthening of the U.S. dollar as compared to the Euro would result in a $1.2 million unrealized transaction loss on this note receivable which would be reported in (gain) loss on foreign exchange within our results of operations; however, this would be mitigated by our currency swap. On May 7, 2008, we entered into a long term currency swap contract to purchase 18.3 million Euros in exchange for $28.0 million to mitigate our exposure to currency fluctuation risk on this note. The contract payment terms approximate the payment terms of this intercompany note and the notional amount is amortized down over time as payments are made. The total fair value of the currency swap instrument at September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009 was $1.5 million and $1.1 million, respectively. For the three months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, we incurred losses of $1.2 million and $0.9 million, respectively, on the currency swap contract. For the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, we incurred a gain of $1.0 million and a loss of $1.0 million, respectively, on the currency swap contract. The losses and gain on the currency swap are included in loss (gain) on derivatives in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of income.
(Gains) and losses on the intercompany note are included in (gain) loss on foreign exchange in the accompanying condensed statements of income, and were net gains of $1.3 million and $0.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively. In the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, we incurred a loss of $1.0 million and a gain of $0.9 million, respectively, on the intercompany note.
Item 4. | Controls and Procedures |
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management, with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2010. The term disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SECs rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act, is accumulated and communicated to the companys management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives, and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide a reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives.
Based on the evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2010, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that, as of such date, the Companys disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level.
