PART I
ITEM 1. BUSINESS
General
DATATRAK International, Inc. (DATATRAK or the Company) is a technology and services
company focused on providing a platform of software applications to the global clinical trials
industry. Our customers use our software to collect, review, transmit and store clinical trial data
electronically. The existence of a multi-component suite of applications in this industry is
commonly referred to as an eClinical offering. Our customers are companies in the clinical
pharmaceutical, biotechnology, contract research organization (CRO), and medical device
industries. Our services assist these companies in accelerating the completion of clinical trials
more efficiently and safely by providing improved data quality and real time access to information
on a global scale.
We currently operate in one business segment as an Application Service Provider (ASP)
providing electronic clinical trials technology often referred to as electronic data capture
(EDC) to the clinical trials industry. Since we began our current operations in 1997, we have
devoted the majority of our efforts to developing and improving our platform offerings and
establishing the market presence necessary to compete in this evolving sector. DATATRAKs mission
is to provide clinical research data to sponsors of clinical trials faster and more efficiently
than manual information-processing.
At this time, the Company has two distinct software offerings. The first offering is a
legacy-based point solution known as DATATRAK EDC®. This software product has provided electronic
solutions for the global clinical trials industry since 1993. It was acquired by DATATRAK in
January of 1998 from the German Division of Electronic Data Systems. This product served as the
primary offering of the Company from 1998 through February 13, 2006. This legacy-based product will
be providing electronic data collection services until ongoing and possibly some new clinical
trials that it services come to completion.
On February 13, 2006, the Company acquired all of the outstanding stock of ClickFind, Inc.
(ClickFind), a company focused on the application of a unified technology platform for clinical
trials, located in Bryan, Texas, for a total negotiated 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 our common shares, 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 our
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). The acquired product suite is now known as
DATATRAK eClinical(TM). This acquisition was made in order to appropriately react to market
maturations that we believe are transitioning from point solution offerings to overall suites of
capabilities encompassed in a broader information platform. The Company believed that their
competitiveness in this market could be enhanced more quickly and cost effectively through an
acquisition rather than internal development. This rationale was also supported by opportunity
considerations in being able to take advantage of early transitions in this market as customers
begin to select their platforms of choice for the next several years. As a result of the
acquisition, we believe we have the most extensive software suite in the clinical trials industry.
All clinical trials currently being performed with DATATRAK EDC® will continue through
conclusion with that product suite. As such, we will provide two different architectures for the use
of technology in clinical trials until the trials using the previous platform are completed. We
will continue to support and provide, as needed, appropriate service packs for the maintenance of
DATATRAK EDC®. However, no extensive, future development efforts are planned for DATATRAK EDC®, and
following the conclusion of all clinical trials using DATATRAK EDC®, that
1
product suite will be discontinued. DATATRAK will focus its future development efforts on the
continuous enhancement of its core product platform the DATATRAK eClinical(TM) software suite.
Overview of the Clinical Research Industry
Our customers are companies that perform clinical trials in the pharmaceutical, biotechnology,
CRO and medical device industry. This industry is driven by regulatory requirements which mandate
that new drugs and medical devices be adequately tested in clinical trials prior to marketing these
drugs and devices.
Competitive pressures are forcing the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries to become
more efficient when developing new products. To improve returns on research and development
investments, pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies are continuing to develop new products,
while at the same time attempting to shorten product development timelines. These efforts have
placed more drugs into the clinical development process and have increased the pressure for
companies to develop products faster in order to maintain growth and continue to achieve acceptable
returns on research and development expenditures. Sponsors of clinical trials have attempted to
create process efficiencies, control fixed costs and expand capacity by outsourcing clinical
research activities.
DATATRAK Software and Services
Under the traditional method of clinical research, clinical trial data from each patient is
recorded and maintained on paper in a binder, known as a case report form. A separate case report
form is maintained for each patient. Clinical research associates then visit research sites to
review the clinical trial data for accuracy and integrity. During these visits, known as monitoring
visits, the research associate must review each page of each case report form. These visits may
last several days, and corrections to the case report forms are frequently required before the data
can be delivered to the clinical trial sponsor. Several weeks, or even months, of data may be
reviewed during each monitoring visit. At the completion of a monitoring visit, the completed case
report form pages are physically transferred to a central location where the data is then entered
into a database for statistical compilation. Using this method of data collection and quality
control, the duration of the clinical trial process, from patient visit to delivery of clean data
to the clinical trial sponsor, can range from six to nine months. Such delays are significant
because errors or trends may not be detected until long after the interaction between the patient
and clinical investigator.
During the performance of clinical trials, a variety of technology applications are used for
the collection, management and storage of information. Many of these applications perform limited
but important functions that contribute to the overall successful accomplishment of a clinical
trial. Because the use of technology in this industry is relatively new, as compared to others, the
specific functionalities of individual technology applications have advanced as single point
solutions rather than an overall product suite, existing under a single application, architecture
and corporate offering. As the global clinical trial market transitions from a paper-based data
collection and management process to a technology-enabled process over the next several years, we
believe that the clinical trials industry will increasingly demand multiple applications. As the
demand for multiple applications increase, we believe sponsors of clinical research will gravitate
from the challenges encountered with information collected and residing in several disparate
applications to one that houses multiple applications under a single software architecture and
corporate structure. This would represent a simplified approach from the workflow process of
clinical trials itself and would also yield contracting advantages by being able to deal with only
one vendor for a variety of necessary software applications.
Our products were developed to provide clinical research data to sponsors of clinical research
trials faster and more efficiently than other forms of information-processing that utilize paper.
Automating data entry and review procedures can save time in the drug development and medical
device approval process, and possibly result in enhanced patient safety. Our system consists of
numerous modules designed for flexible adaptation to the clinical research process. We initially
provide a set of electronic data forms that can be modeled to suit the needs of each particular
clinical trial. Each form is then made available through data entry capability to each research
site participating in the clinical trial via the Internet. Once clinical trial data has been
collected and entered, the clinical trial sponsor, or other contracted vendor, can review the data
remotely via the Internet. After the data is reviewed and cleansed of all entry errors, the
softwares report capability can generate customized reports. Finally, the softwares export
feature allows completed data and reports to be transmitted directly to a clinical trial sponsors
in-house database. Under this model, research data is collected quicker and with greater accuracy
than with physical review of paper reports.
2
Our DATATRAK eClinical(TM) software suite provides the following capabilities: EDC,
interactive voice response systems (IVRS) (via phone or internet), medical coding, web-based
randomization, clinical trial management system (CTMS), clinical data management system (CDMS),
drug inventory management, digitized electrocardiograms, image collection, viewing and storing
capabilities and workgroup collaboration capabilities. In comparison to the legacy product,
DATATRAK EDC®, several of these new capabilities will represent additional revenue opportunities
for the Company as the DATATRAK eClinical(TM) product offering matures.
Our software products have successfully supported hundreds of international clinical trials
involving thousands of patients in 59 countries. DATATRAK products have been utilized in some
aspect of the clinical development of 16 separate drugs and one medical device that have received
regulatory approval from either the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) or
counterpart European regulatory bodies (EMEA).
Our Enterprise Transfer program will allow customers to become empowered to design, set up and
manage their clinical trials independently through our ASP delivery. The Company believes that our
customers desire to be as independent as possible in the performance of their clinical trials is
another growth aspect of this industry that is gaining momentum. Because of this anticipated
industry maturation, DATATRAK is aggressively investing in the growth of its own Enterprise
Consulting Group so as to provide knowledgeable guidance to customers who want to implement our
complete information platform within their organizations. We intend to continue to fund the
maintenance and testing of the DATATRAK EDC® software, as well as invest in the development and
enhancement of DATATRAK eClinical(TM) software suite. Research and development expenses were
$2,405,000, $2,310,000 and $1,650,000 in 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively.
Customers and Marketing
Our customers are largely comprised of clinical trial sponsors and CROs. We market our
software and services through a sales and marketing staff located in the United States and Europe.
The market for the deployment of electronic clinical trials in general and for our services
specifically, has been an emerging one. Our marketing efforts have included selective participation
in scientific and medical meetings to promote our services and we have occasionally used direct
mail and journal advertisements to build awareness of our capabilities. At the end of 2007, the
Company initiated a web-casting marketing initiative to disseminate important educational
messages to its client and shareholder constituencies.
Our marketing and sales efforts have been focused upon building reference accounts with key
customers and leveraging these relationships into new divisions of our current customers, and
growing new customers through maintaining a high level of satisfaction in the delivery of our
DATATRAK eClinical(TM) product suite on a worldwide basis.
In
December, 2007, the Company signed a five-year Enterprise Transfer Agreement with NTT DATA
Corporation (NTT DATA) of Japan. The structure of this relationship includes the pre-purchase of
a fixed volume of data items from DATATRAK, formulated as a license subscription. This
relationship will enable NTT DATA to directly utilize this volume of data items and will also
permit them to market and sublicense such data items to clinical trial sponsors and CROs. As
such, NTT DATA has become a value-added-reseller of DATATRAK eClinical in the country of Japan,
and this relationship has enabled DATATRAK to be able to potentially expand into the Japanese
market in a cost-effective manner.
The market for electronic clinical trials has been slow to develop. The growth of the Internet
has drastically altered business strategies and pricing models in this specific sector. Most
vendors have insignificant revenues and are classified as start-ups. Nonetheless, we believe that
some type of automation in the collection and review of clinical trial data is inevitable.
It is our belief that our software platform can be competitive in this emerging marketplace.
Our products have been tested and verified to be in compliance with FDA and other regulations. Our
software offering is delivered primarily via the Internet and supports multiple languages.
Furthermore, many clinical trial sponsors have published
3
statistics indicating that the use of technology can reduce the length of time to complete a
clinical trial and improve the quality of the clinical trial data.
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. The table below sets forth the percentage
of revenue generated from customers who accounted for more than 10% of our revenue during 2007,
2006 and 2005.

Contracts
Our contracts provide a fixed price for each component or service to be delivered, and revenue
is recognized as these components or services are delivered. We recognize revenue based on the
performance or delivery of the following specified services or components 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 item revenue is earned based on a price per data unit as data items are
entered into DATATRAKs 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 or
site under the contract. |
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.
Competition
We compete in this market on the strength of our softwares functionality, design architecture
and data entry and review tools, which we believe equal or exceed those available in the market. We
believe that our greatest strength is directly related to our offering of a broad information
platform that can be used throughout an organization to efficiently manage their clinical trials.
The Company is working hard to accomplish its goal of becoming the Desktop for the clinical
trials industry.
The Companys competition is paper as well as other technology solutions. The electronic
clinical trials technology market is highly competitive and fragmented. The largest competitor is
the traditional paper-based method of collecting clinical trial data. In addition, technology
applications in this and every industry are always
4
emerging and are characterized by rapid evolutions. At times, the Company also competes with
both internal initiatives at our customers as well as those in the CRO industry.
Our major competitors include other software vendors, clinical trial data service companies
and large pharmaceutical companies currently developing their own in-house technology. Our DATATRAK
eClinical suite has a variety of unified offerings which includes: EDC, IVRS, medical coding,
web-based randomization, CTMS, CDMS, drug inventory management, digitized electrocardiograms, image
collection, viewing and storing capabilities and workgroup collaboration capabilities. Each of
these individual offerings has distinct single point solution competitors in the clinical trial
market. Sponsors of clinical research have a variety of choices with which to satisfy each of these
capabilities for their clinical trials from many different organizations. We are not aware of any
competitors that have all of these individual components contained under one software architecture.
Many current and potential future competitors have or may have substantially greater financial
and technical resources, greater name recognition and more extensive customer bases that could be
leveraged, thereby gaining market share or product acceptance to our detriment. We may not be able
to capture or establish the market presence necessary to effectively compete in this emerging
sector of the clinical research industry. Clinical trial sponsors also may continue to contract
with individual vendors instead of utilizing our single software solution.
We are aware of other EDC systems that compete or, in the future, may compete directly with
one or more of the software product offerings included in our DATATRAK eClinical(TM) software
suite. There are other companies that have developed or are in the process of developing
technologies that are, or, in the future, may be, the basis for competitive products. Some of those
technologies may have an entirely different approach or means of accomplishing the desired effects
as our product. Either existing or new competitors may also develop products that are superior to
or that otherwise achieve greater market acceptance than our software. In addition, we believe that
certain large companies in the information technology industry may be forming alliances and
attempting to capitalize on the data delivery options offered by the Internet. To the extent that
our approach to EDC may gain market acceptance, larger companies in the information technology
industry may develop competing technology to our detriment.
Regulatory Matters
The FDA has issued guidance and regulations on the use of computer systems in clinical trials
relating to standard operating procedures, data entry, system design, security, system
dependability and controls, personnel training, records inspection and certification of electronic
signatures. Based on our review, we believe that our software products comply with these guidances
and regulations. Any release of FDA guidance that is significantly inconsistent with the design
of our software may cause us to incur substantial costs to remain in compliance with FDA guidances
and regulations. We are continuing to monitor the FDA guidance to ensure compliance.
In addition to FDA guidance and regulations, we also comply with International Conference on
Harmonization (ICH) Regulations guidance for good clinical practices. These guidances have been
developed by the ICH and have been subject to consultation by regulatory parties, in accordance
with the ICH process. The regulatory bodies consist of representatives from the European Union,
Japan and the U.S.
The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA) applies to health
care providers, health plans and health care clearinghouses, or covered entities. Under HIPAA,
covered entities are required to protect the confidentiality, integrity and availability of certain
electronic patient information they collect, maintain, use or
transmit. Although we are not a covered entity under HIPAA, we have taken steps, including encryption
techniques, to ensure the confidentiality of all electronic patient information that is captured
and transmitted through the use of our software.
Potential Liability and Insurance
Our services are supported by telecommunications equipment, software, operating protocols and
proprietary applications for high-speed transmission of large quantities of data among multiple
locations. In such operations, it is possible that data files may be lost, altered or distorted.
Our software and its future enhancements or adaptations may contain undetected design faults and
software bugs that, despite our testing, are discovered only after the
5
system has been installed and used by customers. Such faults or errors could cause delays or
require design modifications on our part. In addition, clinical pharmaceutical and medical device
research requires the review and handling of large amounts of patient data. Potential liability may
arise from a breach of contract or a loss of or unauthorized release
of clinical trial data.
Contracts with our customers are designed to limit our liability for damages resulting from errors
in the transportation and handling of patient data. Nevertheless, we may still be subject to claims for
data losses in the transportation and handling of data over our information technology network.
If we were forced to undertake the defense of, or were found financially responsible for,
claims based upon the foregoing or related risks we could incur significant costs relating to these
claims, and our financial resources could be diminished. We maintain an errors and omissions
professional liability insurance policy to cover claims in an amount up to $5,000,000 that may be
brought against us. This coverage may not be adequate, and insurance may not continue to be
available to us, in the future.
Intellectual Property
Intellectual property rights are significant to our ongoing operations and future
opportunities. We have taken steps to secure patent protection for recently-developed database
technology. Our software and business processes embody numerous trade secrets which we protect
through various physical and technical security measures, as well as
through our agreements. Modules of our
product suite, related manuals and other written and graphical materials are subject to copyright
protection. Our DATATRAK® brand is at the heart of a family of registered trademarks and service
marks that identify and distinguish our software and services in the market. We sell our services
and license the use of our software and the right to market DATATRAK
products and services subject to contract provisions intended to provide appropriate
protection to these valuable intellectual property assets.
Employees
As of February 29, 2008, we had 81 full-time employees. The 81 employees include five of our
German entity employees for which we have entered into agreements whereby their employment will
terminate on March 31, 2008. None of our employees are represented by a union, and we consider
relations with our employees to be satisfactory. We have employment agreements with all of our
executive officers. Due to the early stage of development of our industry and business, the loss of
the services of any of our executive officers could put us at a competitive disadvantage, since we
would need to attract a qualified new executive to fill the vacancy. To address these risks, we
must, among other things, continue to attract, retain and motivate qualified personnel.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
Certain statements made in this Annual Report on Form 10-K contain forward-looking statements
within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (Exchange Act). All
statements that address operating performance, events or developments that we anticipate will occur
in the future, including statements related to future revenue, profits, expenses, income, cash flow
and earnings per share or statements expressing general optimism about future results are
forward-looking statements. In addition, words such as expects, anticipates, intends,
plans, believes, estimates, variations of such words, and similar expressions are intended to
identify forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are subject to the safe harbors
created in the Exchange Act.
Forward-looking statements are subject to numerous assumptions and risks and uncertainties
that may cause our actual results or performance to be materially different from any future results
or performance expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. We have identified the
following important factors, which could cause our actual operational or financial results to
differ materially from any projections, estimates, forecasts or other forward-looking statements
made by or on our behalf. Under no circumstances should the factors listed below be construed as an
exhaustive list of all factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those
expressed in forward-looking statements. We undertake no obligation to review or confirm analysts
expectations or estimates or to release publicly any revisions to forward-looking statements
contained herein to take into account events or circumstances that occur after the date of this
Annual Report on Form 10-K. In addition, we do not undertake any responsibility to update publicly
the occurrence of unanticipated events, which may cause actual results to differ from those
expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements contained
herein.
Even if existing sales trends
continue, we will need to renegotiate the ClickFind Notes or raise additional capital in order to
meet our $3,000,000 February 1, 2009 payment obligation.
As of March 14, 2008, the Company has a remaining balloon payment obligation under the
ClickFind Notes in the amount of $3,000,000 that is due and payable
February 1, 2009. The Company is continuing our efforts to
renegotiate the payment terms for
these notes. If we are unable to renegotiate the ClickFind Notes or
raise additional capital we do not believe we will be able to meet our February 1, 2009 obligation, which would have a material adverse effect
on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
We will
need to raise additional funds and take significant cost-cutting initiatives to meet our
working capital requirements beyond 2008, and there can be no assurance that we will be able to
raise such additional funds.
As
discussed above, even if sales trends continue, we will need to raise
additional funds for fiscal 2009 to meet our $3,000,000 February 1, 2009 payment obligation under
the ClickFind Notes and other non ClickFind Notes related working capital
requirements. 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. Furthermore, significant cost-cutting initiatives could materially harm our
long-term prospects.
We have a limited operating history and recorded a loss in 2007.
We began providing EDC services in 1997 and have a limited operating history upon which our
performance may be evaluated. Although we were profitable in 2004 and 2005, we had previously
recognized operating losses in each year since 1997, and again recorded losses in 2006 and 2007.
Our cumulative operating loss since 1997 from EDC operations totaled
$51,780,000 at December 31,
2007. Any number of factors, including, but not limited to, termination or delays in contracts,
inability to grow and convert backlog into revenue or being unable to quickly reduce costs if
required, could cause us to record losses in future periods.
7
If we do not continue to enhance our software, we may not be able to meet the evolving needs of our
customers.
Although our proprietary software solutions have been used in clinical trials, continued
enhancement is necessary to provide additional functions and services to meet the ever-changing
needs and expectations of our customers. To date we have had limited EDC revenue from which to
support the costs of this continued software enhancement. Our potential future revenue may not be
sufficient to absorb corporate overhead and other fixed operating costs that will be necessary for
our future success.
Our quarterly results fluctuate significantly.
We are subject to significant fluctuations in quarterly results caused by many factors,
including
|
|
|
our success in obtaining new contracts, |
|
|
|
|
the size and duration of the clinical trials in which we participate, and |
|
|
|
|
the timing of clinical trial sponsor decisions to conduct new clinical trials or
cancel or delay ongoing trials. |
Our expense levels are based in part on our expectations as to future revenue and to a certain
extent are fixed. We cannot make assurances as to our revenues in any given period, and we may be
unable to adjust expenses in a timely manner to compensate for any unexpected revenue shortfall. As
a result of our relatively small revenue base, any significant shortfall in revenue recognized
during a particular period could have an immediate adverse effect on our income from operations and
financial condition. Volatility in our quarterly results may adversely affect the market price of
our common shares.
Our business strategies are unproven and we are in an early stage of development.
Our efforts to establish a standardized EDC process for collection and management of clinical
research data represent a significant departure from the traditional clinical research practices of
clinical trial sponsors. The long-term viability of our business remains unproven. Our strategy may
not gain acceptance among sponsors of clinical research, research sites or investigators. Our
prospects must be considered in light of the risks, expenses and difficulties frequently
encountered by companies in their early stages of development, particularly companies in new and
rapidly evolving markets.
We may lose revenue if we experience delays in clinical trials or if we lose contracts.
Although our contracts provide that we are entitled to receive revenue earned through the date
of termination, our customers generally may delay or terminate a clinical trial or our
contract related to such trial at any time. The length of a typical clinical trial contract varies
from several months to several years. Clinical trial sponsors may delay or terminate clinical
trials for several reasons, including
|
|
|
unexpected results or adverse patient reactions to a potential product, |
|
|
|
|
inadequate patient enrollment or investigator recruitment, |
|
|
|
|
manufacturing problems resulting in shortages of a potential product, or |
|
|
|
|
sponsor decisions to de-emphasize or terminate a particular trial or drug. |
We may lose revenues if a clinical trial sponsor decides to delay or terminate a trial in which we
participate.
We may lose future revenue if our major customers decrease their research and development
expenditures, or if we lose any of our major customers.
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
8
major customers than many of the larger participants in the EDC industry. In fiscal 2007, our
largest three customers accounted for 15%, 14% and 12% of our revenues, or 41% in the aggregate.
For example, one of our clients accounted for 44% of our total revenue in 2006, but only
accounted for 15% of our total revenue in 2007. The decrease in revenue from this one customer
accounted for approximately 87% of the decrease in our total revenue for 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. |
Changes in government regulations relating to the health care industry could have a material
adverse effect on the demand for our services.
Demand for our services is largely a function of the regulatory requirements associated with
the approval of a New Drug Application by the FDA. In recent years, efforts have been made to
streamline the drug approval process and coordinate U.S. standards with those of other developed
countries. Changes in the level of regulation, including a relaxation in regulatory requirements or
the introduction of simplified drug approval procedures could reduce the demand for our services.
Several competing proposals to reform the system of health care delivery in the United States have
been considered by Congress from time to time. To date, none of these proposals have been adopted.
The FDAs guidelines and rules related to the use of computerized systems in clinical trials
are still in the early stages of development. Our software may not continue to comply with these
guidelines and rules as they develop, and corresponding changes to our product may be required. Any
release of FDA guidance that is significantly inconsistent with the design of our software may
cause us to incur substantial costs to remain in compliance with FDA guidance and regulations.
We may not be able to capture or establish the market presence necessary to compete in the EDC
market.
The EDC market, which is still developing and must compete with the traditional paper method
of collecting clinical trial data, is highly fragmented. The major competitors in the EDC market
include
|
|
|
EDC software vendors, |
|
|
|
|
clinical trial data service companies that use paper for data collection, |
|
|
|
|
vendors offering single component solutions and |
|
|
|
|
in-house development efforts within large pharmaceutical companies. |
Our current and potential future competitors have or may have substantially greater resources,
greater name recognition and more extensive customer bases that could be leveraged, thereby gaining
market share or product acceptance to our detriment. We may not be able to capture or establish the
market presence necessary to effectively compete in this emerging sector of the clinical research
industry.
We may
be subject to liability for potential breaches of contracts or a loss
of or unauthorized release of clinical trial data.
Our services are supported by telecommunications equipment, software, operating protocols and
proprietary applications for high-speed transmission of large quantities of data among multiple
locations. In addition, clinical pharmaceutical and medical device research requires the review and
handling of large amounts of patient data.
9
Potential liability may arise from a breach of contract or a loss of or unauthorized release
of clinical trial data. If we were forced to undertake the defense of, or were found financially
responsible for, claims based upon these types of losses, our financial resources could be
diminished. We maintain a $5,000,000 errors and omissions professional liability insurance policy
to cover claims that may be brought against us. This coverage may not be adequate, and insurance
may not continue to be available to us, in the future.
Fluctuations
in foreign currency exchange rates may adversely affect our results
of operations and financial condition.
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. During 2007 the average exchange rate between the euro
and the U.S. dollar increased by approximately 9.1% compared to the year ended December 31, 2006.
The conversion of the Companys foreign operations into U.S. dollars upon consolidation resulted in
a net loss that was approximately $387,000 more than would have been recorded had the exchange rate
between the euro and the U.S. dollar remained consistent with 2006
rates. As a result, any continued increase in the average exchange
rate between the U.S. dollar and the euro will have a negative
impact on our reported results. Any significant volatility in the
exchange rates may have an adverse effect on our financial condition
or results of operations.
Our competitive position and business may be adversely affected if we are unable to protect our
intellectual property rights or if we infringe upon the intellectual property rights of others.
Intellectual property rights, including patent rights, are significant to our ongoing
operations and future opportunities. Our success will depend, in part, on our ability to secure our
own intellectual property rights (e.g., patents, copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets), obtain
licenses to technology owned by third parties when necessary, and conduct our business without
infringing on the proprietary rights of others. There can be no assurance, however, that our
proprietary rights will provide us significant protection or commercial advantage or that measures
taken to protect our confidential information will adequately prevent the disclosure or misuse of
such confidential information. In addition, there can be no assurance that, in the future, a third
party will not assert that we are violating their proprietary rights, including that our
technologies, products or services infringe their patents. As indicated in Item 3, Legal
Proceedings, such a claim was asserted against the Company in 2006 and was settled on July 31,
2007. In the event of a claim, we could incur substantial costs and diversion of the time and
attention of management and technical personnel in defending ourselves against any such claims. Any
meritorious claim of intellectual property infringement against us could have a material adverse
effect on our competitive position and business.
We may not be able to successfully integrate and profitably manage our acquired business and our
new software offering without substantial costs, delays or other problems. Acquisitions also may
involve a number of special risks some or all of which could have a material adverse effect on our
business, results of operations and financial condition. Examples of special risks relating to
acquisitions include:
|
|
|
adverse short-term effects on our reported operating results; |
|
|
|
|
potentially dilutive issuances of equity securities or the incurrence of debt and
contingent liabilities; |
|
|
|
|
diversion of managements attention; |
|
|
|
|
dependence on retention, hiring and training of key personnel; and |
|
|
|
|
risks associated with unanticipated problems or legal liabilities. |
10
We will incur increased costs associated with the integration of our new product suite.
All clinical trials currently being performed with DATATRAK EDC® will continue through
conclusion with that product suite. As such, we will provide two different architectures for the
use of technology in clinical trials until the trials using the previous platform are finished. We
will incur additional costs by continuing to support and provide, as needed, appropriate service
packs for the maintenance of DATATRAK EDC® as well as supporting and providing appropriate service
packs for the maintenance of DATATRAK eClinical(TM). We will also incur additional costs to
integrate the DATATRAK eClinical(TM) product into our current operating systems. Furthermore, our
two product offerings will run on parallel systems, as such we will incur additional costs of
maintaining two parallel production systems.
We have Anti-takeover Provisions and Preferred Share Purchase Rights.
Our Articles of Incorporation and Code of Regulations contain provisions that may discourage a
third party from acquiring, or attempting to acquire us. These provisions could limit the price
that certain investors might be willing to pay for our common shares. In addition preferred shares
of our stock can be issued by our Board of Directors, without shareholder approval, whether under
our shareholder rights plan or for other uses determined by the Board. The issuance of preferred
shares may adversely affect the rights of common shareholders, the market price of our common
shares and may make it more difficult for a third party to acquire a majority of our outstanding
common shares. At the present time, we do not plan to issue any preferred shares.
ITEM 1B. UNRESOLVED STAFF COMMENTS
None.
ITEM 2. PROPERTIES
We presently lease approximately 13,000 square feet of office space in Mayfield Heights, Ohio.
This space is used for our executive offices and U.S. operations. In addition, we have U.S. based
operations in Bryan, Texas, where we lease approximately 6,000 square feet of office space. We also
lease approximately 17,000 square feet of office space in Bonn, Germany for our European
operations. We believe that our facilities are suitable and adequate for the current and
anticipated conduct of our operations.
ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
In the ordinary course of business, we are involved in employment related legal proceedings.
We are 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 the Company.
On July 17, 2006, Datasci, LLC (Datasci) filed a complaint against the Company, 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 (the
Datasci claim). As previously disclosed, on February 13, 2006, we acquired ClickFind pursuant to
a merger agreement between the Company, ClickFind and Merger Sub, a wholly owned subsidiary of the
Company. Datasci sought injunctive relief and money damages in an unspecified amount. On August
14, 2006, we filed an answer and counterclaim denying infringement of the patent in suit, asserting
numerous affirmative defenses and counterclaiming for a declaratory judgment of non-infringement
and invalidity of the patent. On July 31, 2007, the parties entered into a settlement agreement
whereby Datasci agreed to dismiss its claims against the Company with prejudice, and no payment
shall be required now or in the future in connection with DATATRAK
EDC®
or DATATRAK eClinical(TM) in
their current forms. In connection with the settlement, DATATRAK also entered into a non-exclusive
licensing agreement with Datasci on a going-forward basis for DATATRAK products which may be
released in the future which implement Datascis patent. However, DATATRAK does not currently
intend to use such license, nor does DATATRAK intend to pay any royalties thereunder to Datasci in
connection with any of DATATRAKs product offerings.

MARKET FOR REGISTRANTS COMMON SHARES AND RELATED SHAREHOLDER MATTERS AND ISSUER PURCHASES
OF EQUITY SECURITIES |
Our common shares are traded on The NASDAQ Capital Market under the symbol DATA.
Our common shares were initially offered to the public on June 11, 1996 at a stock split
adjusted price of $9.00 per share and commenced trading on NASDAQ on that date. On July 20, 2005,
our Board of Directors approved a three-for-two share split that was distributed in the form of a
50% share dividend. Our shareholders of record at the close of business on August 15, 2005 received
one additional common share for every two common shares held on that date. The new common shares
were distributed on or around August 31, 2005 and began trading ex-dividend on September 1, 2005.
We have restated all prior reported common share and per share amounts as if the share split had
occurred at the beginning of the earliest period being reported. The following table sets forth,
for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, the high and low sale prices per common share, as
reported by NASDAQ. These prices do not include retail markups, markdowns or commissions.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
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.
The discussion that follows highlights our business conditions and certain financial
information. This discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our consolidated
financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Approximately 32% of our assets, or $8,514,000, is held in cash, cash equivalents and
short-term investments. Goodwill accounts for approximately 41% of our assets, or $10,856,000. We
recorded an operating loss in 2007 of $10.968 million compared to a operating loss of $3.399
million in 2006. The $7.569 million additional year-over-year loss was mainly a result of a
decrease in revenue from a major customer. Revenue from Otsuka Research Institute was 15% of our
total revenue in 2007 (approximately $1.6 million) compared to 44% of our total revenue in 2006
(approximately $7.8 million). The $6.2 million decrease was primarily a result of the successful
early completion of several large trials. The Company continues to focus its efforts on
marketing and selling its eClinical product to improve its operating performance. In addition,
throughout 2007 we made a series of cost reduction moves that will lower our cost structure by
approximately $4.0 million annually. 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. Our future success is dependent on market acceptance of EDC in general, as an
alternative to the traditional paper method of collecting clinical trial data, and acceptance of
our software products specifically. There can be no assurance of the Companys long-term future
prospects.
At December 31, 2007, our backlog was $13,040,000 compared to backlog of $12,248,000 at
December 31, 2006. Our December 31, 2007 backlog, excluding the NTT DATA contract of $2,100,000,
consisted of 86 contracts with an average remaining value of $127,000. At December 31, 2006, our
backlog consisted of 108 contracts with an average remaining value of $113,000. Our contracts in
backlog at December 31, 2006 generated $8,798,000 of revenue during 2007. If we have no delays or
cancellations to the contracts in backlog at December 31, 2007, we expect to convert approximately
$6,353,000 of our December 31, 2007 backlog into revenue during 2008. Our individual trial
contracts can be cancelled or delayed at anytime and, therefore, our individual trial backlog, at
any point in time, is not an accurate predictor of future levels of revenue. Approximately 84% of
the Companys December 31, 2007 backlog is comprised of individual trial contracts and subject to
being cancelled or delayed at anytime.
ClickFind Acquisition
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.
As a result of the acquisition, we believe we have the most extensive software suite in the
clinical trials industry. The operating results of ClickFind have been included in our
consolidated results of operations for all periods subsequent to February 13, 2006.
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 consolidated statement of cash flows. The notes payable bear
interest at prime plus 1% and as of March 14, 2008 have one remaining principal payment of
$3,000,000 due February 1, 2009.
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
15
litigation. Of the $500,000 payment due on February 1, 2007, $79,000 was held by the Company
to satisfy these expenses. As of December 31, 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. Subsequent to year-end, the Company paid the $425,000 Feburary 1,
2008 installment. In July 2007, DATATRAK settled its litigation related to Datascis patent
infringement claim with no liability against the Company.
Critical Accounting Policies
In response to the SECs Release No. 33-8040, Cautionary Advice Regarding Disclosure About
Critical Accounting Policies, we have identified the most critical accounting principles upon
which our 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 finite-lived tangible and intangible
assets and income taxes.
Revenue Recognition
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 or
site under the contract. |
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 December 31, 2007,
DATATRAKs backlog was $13,040,000. DATATRAKs individual trial contracts can be cancelled or
delayed at anytime. Approximately 84% of the Companys December 31, 2007, backlog is individual
contracts and subject to being cancelled or delayed at anytime. The Companys individual contract
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
16
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.
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 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. No
software development costs were capitalized in 2007.
Stock-Based Compensation
On January 1, 2006, we adopted SFAS No. 123(R), Share-Based Payment (FAS 123(R)) using the
modified prospective method. Under this method, compensation cost is recognized beginning January
1, 2006 based on the requirements of SFAS No. 123(R) for all share-based awards granted after
January 1, 2006, and based on the requirements of SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation, for all awards granted to employees prior to January 1, 2006 that remain unvested at
January 1, 2006. We used the Black-Scholes option valuation model to calculate the fair value of
stock options granted prior to January 1, 2006.
Prior to January 1, 2006, we accounted for stock-based compensation in accordance with
Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, for
stock options granted to employees and directors, and followed the alternative fair value
accounting provided for under SFAS No. 123 and EITF 96-18 for stock options granted to
non-employees. SFAS No. 148, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation Transition and Disclosure,
requires disclosure of compensation expense under both APB No. 25 and SFAS No. 123.
Goodwill and Finite-Lived Tangible and Intangible Assets
In accordance with SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, the $10,856,000 of
goodwill we acquired in the ClickFind acquisition is deemed to have an indefinite life and is not
amortized but is subject to an impairment test at least annually or more frequently if impairment
indicators arise.
In accordance with SFAS No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived
Assets, the $6,040,000 of amortizable intangible assets acquired in the ClickFind acquisition is
subject to an impairment test if impairment indicators arise.
In accordance with SFAS No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived
Assets, the Companys $6,355,000 of gross property, equipment and leasehold improvements as of
December 31, 2007, is subject to an impairment test if impairment indicators arise.
Income Taxes
We follow SFAS No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. This accounting standard requires that
the liability method be used in accounting for income taxes. Under this accounting method, deferred
tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between the financial reporting
basis and the tax basis of assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates and
laws that apply in the periods in which the deferred tax asset or liability is expected to be
realized or settled. A valuation allowance is provided for deferred tax assets for which
realization currently is not certain. Quarterly income taxes are recorded at the effective rate,
based on annual forecasted income.
17
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.

Year
ended December 31, 2007 compared with year ended
December 31, 2006 and year ended December 31, 2005
Revenue for the year ended December 31, 2007 decreased $7,128,000, or 40%, to $10,562,000, as
compared to $17,690,000 for the year ended December 31, 2006. During 2007, DATATRAK recorded
revenue related to 152 contracts compared to 147 contracts during 2006. For the year ended December
31, 2007, $8,798,000 of revenue was the result of contracts that were in backlog at December 31,
2006 and $1,764,000 was the result of new business signed since January 1, 2007. Of the $8,798,000
of revenue from backlog, $675,000 was the result of contracts acquired from ClickFind. For the year
ended December 31, 2006, $13,813,000 of revenue was generated from contracts that were in backlog
at December 31, 2005, $2,442,000 of revenue was the result of new business signed since January 1,
2006, and $1,435,000 was the result of contracts acquired from ClickFind. The reduction in revenue
for the year ended December 31, 2007 compared to the prior year was primarily the result of a
significant decrease attributable to one client, Otsuka Research Institute, which accounted for 15%
of our total revenue in 2007 compared to 44% of total revenue in 2006. Of the overall $7,128,000
decrease in revenue, the decrease in Otsuka revenue accounted for approximately $6,172,000 of the
reduction, or 87%. Otsuka revenue decreased primarily as a result of the successful early
completion of several large trials. In 2005 Otsuka accounted for 59% of our total revenue. We
believe less than 10% of our total 2008 revenue will come from Otsuka. 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. Five of the Companys current nine person sales and
marketing staff have been with DATATRAK a year or less. The Company replaced its Vice President of
Marketing and Sales in June of 2007 and added a Director of Marketing in the third quarter of 2007
to aggressively pursue sales growth in future periods.
We have previously disclosed that we have experienced significant trial delays from certain
clients during the third quarter of 2007. 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. These delays are a result of internal
decisions on the part of the client as to when to begin certain trials. Approximately 26% of our
September 30, 2007 backlog produced no revenue during the three months ended December 31, 2007
compared to 4% of our September 30, 2006 backlog not producing revenue in the fourth quarter of
2006. Subsequent to December 31, 2007, one client with two of the nine delayed trials canceled both
trials. As a result of these cancellations we reduced our backlog in early 2008 by approximately
$900,000. We will be required to refund approximately $220,000 of unearned start-up fees in 2008 related to
these cancellations.
18
Direct costs of revenue, mainly personnel costs, were $4,583,000 and $5,222,000 during the
years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. The net decrease of $639,000, or 12%, was
mainly a result of lower software license costs. DATATRAKs gross margin decreased to 57% for the year ended
December 31, 2007 compared to 71% for the year ended December 31, 2006 primarily as a result of the
40% decrease in revenue. The net decrease was partially offset by a $101,000 increase in overall
direct cost as a result of the higher exchange rate between the U.S. dollar and the euro. Direct
costs for our German subsidiary, primarily wages, are paid in euro and converted to U.S. dollars
for consolidated financial reporting purposes using the average exchange rate for the period
Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses decreased by $170,000, or 1.3%, to
$13,097,000 from $13,267,000 for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Staff and other payroll
costs increased $536,000. The net increase in personnel costs, which include recruiting costs, were
mainly a result of steps we took to enhance our sales and marketing organization. The increase in
personnel costs also reflects the impact of a higher year-over-year exchange rate between the U.S.
dollar and the euro. Wages for our German entity employees are paid in euro and converted to U.S.
dollars for consolidated financial reporting purposes using the average exchange rate for the
period. Our personnel costs would have been lower by approximately $138,000 in 2007 if the exchange
rate was the same as it was in 2006. The discontinuation of outsourced research and development
resulted in a cost savings of $546,000 for the year ended, December 31, 2007 compared to the same
period of the prior year. Overall, other non-personnel SG&A expenses were $94,000 higher in 2007 as
a result of the higher average exchange rate.
During the year ended December 31, 2007, DATATRAK recorded a charge of $915,000 for severance
benefits, including $66,000 related to stay bonuses, due to terminated employees as a result of the
Companys actions to reduce costs. A portion of our severance charge was for employees of our
Germany entity. Because of a higher average exchange rate between the U.S. dollar and euro in 2007
the $915,000 of severance benefits was $54,000 higher than it would have been using the 2006
average exchange rate. During the year ended December 31, 2006, DATATRAK recorded a charge of
$295,000 for severance benefits due to terminated employees.
Depreciation and amortization expense for the year ended December 31, 2007 increased by
$629,000, or 27%, to $2,935,000 compared to $2,306,000 for the year ended December 31, 2006. The
increase was primarily a result of $316,000 of additional amortization expense related to a change
in estimate for one of our intangible assets and a $213,000 impairment charge for another
intangible asset. The $316,000 of additional amortization was related to the shift in timing of
actual revenue recognition, as compared to our original estimate at the time of the ClickFind
acquisition, from our contract and customer relationship intangible asset. The impairment charge of
$213,000 was against the non-compete agreements related to the ClickFind acquisition. As a result
of consecutive quarterly operating losses since the first quarter of 2006 and forecasted continuing
operating losses based on current sales trends, the Company determined that impairment indicators
existed as of June 30, 2007, September 30, 2007 and also as of December 31, 2007. The Company
conducted impairment testing of its goodwill and finite-lived tangible and intangible assets as of
all three dates. As a result of its testing, the Company recorded an impairment charge of $213,000
against the non-compete agreements for the three months ended September 30, 2007. Depreciation and
amortization expense on the software and intangible assets acquired in the ClickFind acquisition,
including the additional $316,000 and the $213,000 impairment charge,
was $1,869,000 for the year
ended December 31, 2007 compared to $1,232,000 in the same time
period of 2006, an $637,000
increase.
Interest income increased by $202,000, to $440,000 in 2007 from $238,000 in 2006 primarily
due to the average investment balance for 2007 being larger than that in 2006. Our average
investment balance grew in 2007 as a result of our March 16, 2007 private placement financing
which raised net proceeds of approximately $8.6 million.
Interest expense increased by $17,000 to $370,000 in 2007 compared to $353,000 in 2006
primarily as a result of the ClickFind Notes being outstanding for all of 2007 compared to only
ten-and-a-half months in 2006.
19
During 2007, DATATRAK recorded an income tax benefit of $46,000. This net benefit amount was
due to a $319,000 reduction in the Companys deferred tax valuation allowance on its foreign net
operating losses and was offset by $143,000 as a result of the use of foreign net operating losses
to reduce foreign taxable income. In addition, the Company recorded a
reserve of $130,000 for an uncertain tax
position identified in the fourth quarter of 2007. During 2006, DATATRAK recorded income tax
expense of $976,000 as a result of an increase in our deferred tax valuation allowance and foreign
income tax expense of $126,000.
Year ended December 31, 2006 compared with year ended December 31, 2005
Revenue for the year ended December 31, 2006 increased by 12.4% to $17,690,000, compared to
$15,735,000 for the year ended December 31, 2005. During the year ended December 31, 2006, we
recorded revenue related to 147 contracts compared to 81 contracts during 2005. Included in the 147
contracts are 25 contracts that were acquired from ClickFind on February 13, 2006. For the year
ended December 31, 2006, we recognized $125,000 of revenue that was previously deferred as a result
of contracts subject to volume discounts. Revenue from Otsuka Research Institute accounted for 44%
of our total revenue in 2006 compared to 59% of total revenue in 2005. For the year ended December
31, 2006, $13,813,000 of revenue was the result of contracts that were in backlog at December 31,
2005, $2,442,000 was the result of new business signed since January 1, 2006, and $1,435,000 was
the result of contracts acquired from ClickFind. For the year ended December 31, 2005, $13,513,000
of revenue was the result of contracts that were in backlog at December 31, 2004 and $2,222,000 was
the result of new business signed since January 1, 2005. Accounting for the acquisition of
ClickFind as though it occurred on January 1, 2005, pro forma revenue for the year ended December
31, 2006 would have been $17,899,000, an increase of 4.8% over pro forma revenue of $17,080,000 for
the year ended December 31, 2005.
Direct costs of revenue, mainly personnel costs, were $5,222,000 and $3,789,000 during the
years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively. Additional staff and other payroll cost
increases accounted for $1,305,000, or 91.1%, of the $1,433,000 increase in 2006. The increase in
staff was caused by the ClickFind acquisition as well as the increase in the number of contracts we
have been managing over the past year. Our gross margin decreased to 70.5% for the year ended
December 31, 2006 compared to 75.9% for the year ended December 31, 2005. Accounting for the
acquisition of ClickFind as though it occurred on January 1, 2005, pro forma gross margin would
have decreased to 70.3% for the year ended December 31, 2006 from pro forma gross margin of 74.7%
for the year ended December 31, 2005.
Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses include all administrative personnel
costs, business and software development costs, and all other expenses not directly chargeable to a
specific contract. These expenses increased by 32.3% to $13,267,000 from $10,025,000, for the years
ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively. Personnel and payroll cost increases, director
compensation costs, stock-based compensation expense, and our sales and operational bonus incentive
plan accounted for $2,411,000, or 74.4% of the $3,242,000 increase. Of this $2,411,000 increase,
$1,578,000 was due to additional hiring and staff costs caused by the acquisition of ClickFind
offset by 10 terminated employees in June, $376,000 was caused by the adoption, and related impact,
of FAS 123(R) in 2006, $257,000 was due to our new sales and operational bonus plan and $128,000
was due to our director compensation plan. Our travel expenses increased by $372,000 in 2006 due to
additional sales efforts and corporate integration.
During the year ended December 31, 2006, we recorded a charge of $295,000 for severance due to
10 terminated employees.
Depreciation and amortization expense increased to $2,306,000 during the year ended December
31, 2006, from $748,000 during the year ended December 31, 2005. Included in depreciation and
amortization expense is $1,232,000 of amortization expense related to intangible assets acquired in
the ClickFind acquisition. The remainder of the increase was the result of an increase in the
amount of assets being placed in service.
Interest expense of $353,000 was recorded during the year ended December 31, 2006. This
expense is primarily due to the debt issued in conjunction with the ClickFind acquisition and to a
lesser extent the Companys insurance and capital expenditure financing arrangements.

During 2006, we recorded income tax expense of $976,000 as a result of an increase in our
deferred tax valuation allowance and foreign income tax expense of $126,000. The increase in the
deferred tax valuation allowance in 2006 was a reinstatement of the valuation allowance that was
reversed in 2005.
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 financing agreement with
Oracle Credit Corporation and the capital lease agreement with
Dell Financial Services. During 2006, the
Company used approximately $4,669,000 of 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).
On December 31, 2007, we received a significant customer receipt in the amount of $2.1 million
from NTT DATA Corporation in exchange for a five-year enterprise subscription license agreement. To
date, we have not established a trend of multi-year large dollar subscriptions license agreements
similar to the $2.1 million deal with NTT DATA Corporation. The $2.1 million receipt is included in
our December 31, 2007, cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments total of $8.5 million.
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 December 31, 2007, our days sales outstanding was 51 days which was
consistent with 51 days calculated at December 31, 2006. Accounts receivable (net of allowance for
doubtful accounts) was $1,018,000 at December 31, 2007 and $2,176,000 at December 31, 2006.
Short-term deferred revenue was $1,277,000 at December 31, 2007 compared to $988,000 at December
31, 2006. Long-term deferred revenue was $1,680,000 at December 31, 2007 compared to zero as of
December 31, 2006. The significant increase in overall deferred revenue was due primarily to the
$2,100,000 advance payment received in December 2007 upon the signing of a five-year enterprise
subscription license agreement with NTT DATA Corporation.
Cash and cash equivalents decreased $1,352,000 during the year ended December 31, 2007. This
was the net result of $4,776,000 used in operating activities,
$4,618,000 used in investing
activities and $8,043,000 provided by financing activities. Net cash used in operating activities
was mainly the net result of our net loss of $10,854,000 offset by non-cash depreciation and
amortization of $2,722,000, non-cash impairment loss of $213,000, non-cash stock-based compensation
of $453,000 and the $2.1 million advance payment received from NTT DATA. Investing activities
included $94,000 used to purchase property and equipment, and net purchases of short-term
investments totaling $4,524,000. In addition to the $94,000 used to purchase property and equipment
we entered into lease agreements during 2007 to purchase $229,000 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, $274,000 in proceeds from the
exercise of stock options, offset by debt repayments of $421,000 for the ClickFind Notes, $74,000
repayment of an insurance note and $223,000 for the repayment of capital equipment lease and
financing agreements. In addition, net cash used in financing activities reflects a $154,000
reduction of the ClickFind Notes as a result of the Datasci litigation expense offset.
At December 31, 2007, we had working capital of $6,136,000, and our cash, cash equivalents and
short-term investments totaled $8,514,000. Our working capital increased by $1,995,000 since
December 31, 2006.
21
We are party to a lease agreement that requires us to maintain a restricted cash balance. Our
restricted cash balance was $87,000 at December 31, 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. As of December 31, 2007,
$1,980,000 was available to be borrowed. 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 December 31, 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 December
31, 2007, we had a note payable in the amount of $143,000 to Oracle Credit Corporation, payable in
monthly payments of $9,000, including accrued interest through June 2009. Additionally, at December
31, 2007, we had various capital lease agreements in the amount of $357,000 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 (the ClickFind Notes) in the amount of $4,000,000. The notes
payable had an outstanding balance of $3,425,000 as of
December 31, 2007. In February 2008, we paid
the next installment totaling $425,000, bringing the current outstanding balance to $3,000,000
which is due and payable February 1, 2009 . Of the $3,000,000, $1,963,000 is held by an executive
officer of the Company who was the founder of ClickFind. Of the remaining $1,037,000 of ClickFind
Notes, $763,000 is held by other current employees of the Company.
The Company is continuing our efforts to renegotiate the payment
terms for the remaining ClickFind Notes. If the Company is not successful in renegotiating
the payment terms with the note holders, DATATRAK believes that it will not have available funds to
meet the $3,000,000 obligation on February 1, 2009.
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. Of the $500,000 payment due on
February 1, 2008, $75,000 was held by the Company to satisfy such expenses. In July 2007, DATATRAK
settled its litigation related to Datascis patent infringement claim with no liability against the
Company. A total of $154,000 of the ClickFind Notes were used to offset expenses associated with
the litigation.
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 had significantly decreased from the prior year. We expect to have
negative cash flow from operations during 2008 as we continue 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 2008. We anticipate expenditures for property and equipment of
approximately $165,000 for 2008, 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 approximately half of the $165,000 total property and equipment
expenditures. 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 year ended December 31, 2007, we expensed approximately $2,405,000 for research
and development.
If existing sales trends from the past six months (September 2007 February 2008) continue
for the rest of 2008, and we experience no significant unforeseen trial cancellations or delays, we
believe we will have available funds in order to meet our short-term working capital requirements
through December 31, 2008. Even if existing sales trends from the past six months continue for the
rest of 2008, and we experience no significant unforeseen trial cancellations or delays, we do not
believe we will have sufficient available funds in order to meet our longer-term working capital
requirements for 2009, including the $3,000,000
balloon payment on the ClickFind Notes due
February 1, 2009. At December 31, 2007, we had working capital of $6,136,000. In an effort to
partially address these working capital needs, we made significant cost reductions during the
fourth quarter of 2007 which we expect will yield an annual cost savings of approximately $2.1 million. On
an ongoing basis in 2008, we will implement additional cost cutting measures if revenue and sales
trend performance falls below our minimum
22
expectations and we are unable to obtain additional funding. In addition to the fourth quarter
cost savings moves, we are continuing our efforts to restructure the
ClickFind Notes. Any increase in the
2008 average exchange rate between the U.S. dollar and the euro, as compared to the average 2007
rate, will have an adverse impact on our available cash. 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.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
The Company is not a party to any off-balance sheet arrangements that have, or are reasonably
likely to have, a current or future effect on the Companys financial condition, sales or expenses,
results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to
investors.
Inflation
To date, we believe that the effects of inflation have not had a material adverse effect on
our results of operations or financial condition.
ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
We are exposed to market risk from changes in interest rates and foreign currency exchange
rates since we fund our operations through short-term investments and have business transactions in
euros. A summary of our primary 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
23
liquidity. Investments are reported at amortized cost, which approximates fair value. A 1.0
percentage point change in interest rates during the year ended December 31, 2007 would have
resulted in a $68,000 change in DATATRAKs interest income during the year.
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
year ended December 31, 2007 would have resulted in a $36,000 change in DATATRAKs interest expense
during the year.
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 December 31, 2007, would have resulted in a $3,000 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 year ended December 31, 2007
would have resulted in a $46,000 change in the Companys net loss for the year ended December 31,
2007 due to foreign currency transactions. During 2007 the average exchange rate between the euro
and the U.S. dollar increased by approximately 9.1% compared to the year ended December 31, 2006.
The conversion of the Companys foreign operations into U.S. dollars upon consolidation resulted in
a net loss that was approximately $387,000 more than would have been recorded had the exchange rate
between the euro and the U.S. dollar remained consistent with 2006 rates.

ITEM 9A. 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 Annual Report on
Form 10-K. Based upon that evaluation, the Companys management, including the chief executive
officer and chief financial officer, have concluded that, as of December 31, 2007, the Companys
disclosure controls and procedures were effective at a reasonable assurance level to ensure that
information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports it files and submits under the
Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in
the SECs rules and forms.

Managements Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
The management of DATATRAK International, Inc. (DATATRAK or the Company) is responsible
for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in
Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. DATATRAKs internal
control system was designed to provide reasonable assurance to the Companys management and Board
of Directors regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation and fair
presentation of financial statements issued for external purposes in accordance with U.S. generally
accepted accounting principles.
All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations and may
not prevent or detect misstatements. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can
only provide reasonable assurance with respect to financial reporting reliability and financial
statement preparation and presentation. DATATRAKs management assessed the effectiveness of the
Companys internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2007. In making our
assessment, we used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations (COSO) of
the Treadway Commission in Internal ControlIntegrated Framework. Based on our assessment we
believe that, as of December 31, 2007, the Companys internal control over financial reporting is
effective, at the reasonable assurance level, based on the COSO criteria.

DATATRAKs independent registered public accounting firm, Ernst & Young LLP, has issued an
attestation report on the Companys internal control over financial reporting which immediately
follows this report.
Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
The Board of Directors and Shareholders
DATATRAK International, Inc.
We have audited DATATRAK International, Inc.s internal control over financial reporting as of
December 31, 2007, based on criteria established in Internal ControlIntegrated Framework issued
by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (the COSO criteria).
DATATRAK International, Inc.s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control
over financial reporting, and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over
financial reporting included in the accompanying Managements Report on Internal Control over
Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the companys internal control
over financial reporting based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting
Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was
maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal
control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and
evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk,
and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe
that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
A companys internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable
assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial
statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A
companys internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1)
pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the
transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that
transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company
are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company;
and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized
acquisition, use, or disposition of the companys assets that could have a material effect on the
financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent
or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods
are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or
that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
In our opinion, DATATRAK International, Inc. maintained, in all material respects, effective
internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2007, based on the COSO criteria.
We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight
Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheets of DATATRAK International, Inc. as of
December 31, 2007 and 2006, and the related consolidated statements of operations, shareholders
equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2007 and our
report dated March 17, 2008 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

materially affect, the Companys internal control over financial reporting.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
The Board of Directors and Shareholders
DATATRAK International, Inc.
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of DATATRAK International, Inc. as of
December 31, 2007 and 2006, and the related consolidated statements of operations, shareholders
equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2007. These
financial statements are the responsibility of the Companys management. Our responsibility is to
express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight
Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An
audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the
financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement
presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
As more fully explained in Note 1, the Company has a $3,000,000 balloon payment obligation under
the ClickFind Notes that is due on February 1, 2009.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material
respects, the consolidated financial position of DATATRAK International, Inc. at December 31, 2007
and 2006, and the consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the
three years in the period ended December 31, 2007, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted
accounting principles.
As
discussed in Note 5 to the consolidated financial statements,
effective January 1, 2007, the Company adopted
the recognition provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income
Taxes. As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, effective January 1, 2006, the Company changed its method of accounting for stock-based
compensation.
We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting
Oversight Board (United States), DATATRAK International, Inc.s internal control over financial
reporting as of December 31, 2007, based on criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated
Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission and our
report dated March 17, 2008 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

DATATRAK INTERNATIONAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the Years Ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005
1. Accounting Policies
Description of Business
DATATRAK International, Inc. (DATATRAK or the Company) is a technology and services
company focused on global eClinical solutions, which assist companies in the clinical
pharmaceutical, biotechnology, contract research organization (CRO) and medical device research
industries, in accelerating the completion of clinical trials. The Companys wholly-owned
subsidiary, DATATRAK GmbH, provides the Company with various customer support and software
development services. The Companys two other wholly-owned subsidiaries, DATATRAK, Inc. and CF
Merger Sub, Inc. (Merger Sub), are inactive holding companies with no employees that do not
provide any services to the Company or its customers.
Risks and Uncertainties
On February 13, 2006, the Company acquired all of the outstanding stock of ClickFind, Inc.
(ClickFind), a company focused on the application of a unified technology platform for clinical
trials. A portion of the purchase price consisted of $4,000,000 in notes payable (ClickFind
Notes). As of March 14, 2008, the Company has a remaining balloon payment obligation under the
ClickFind Notes in the amount of $3,000,000 that is due and payable February 1, 2009. Of the
$3,000,000, $1,963,000 is held by an executive officer of the Company who was the founder of
ClickFind. Of the remaining $1,037,000 of ClickFind Notes, $763,000 is held by other current
employees of the Company. The Company is continuing our efforts to
renegotiate the payment terms for
these notes. If the Company is not successful in renegotiating the payment terms with the note
holders, or if the Company cannot obtain additional funding to meet
this obligation, DATATRAK believes that it will not have available funds to meet the entire $3,000,000
obligation on February 1, 2009.
Stock Split
On July 20, 2005 DATATRAKs Board of Directors approved a three-for-two share split that was
distributed in the form of a 50% share dividend (the Share Split). The Companys shareholders of
record at the close of business on August 15, 2005 received one additional common share for every
two common shares held on that date. The new common shares were distributed on or around August 31,
2005 and began trading ex- dividend on September 1, 2005. The Company restated all prior reported
common share and per share amounts as if the share split had occurred at the beginning of the
earliest period being reported.
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned
subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in
consolidation.
Revenue Recognition
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 objective and reliable evidence of fair value for the price of
items included in its multiple-element arrangements based on vendor-specific objective evidence of
the 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:
F-7
|
|
|
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 DATATRAKs
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 or
site under the contract. |
Services provided by DATATRAK that are in addition to those provided for in its 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 the Companys clients, and for which the Company does 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.
Deferred Revenue
Deferred revenue represents cash advances received in excess of revenue earned on contracts.
Payment terms vary with each contract but may include an initial payment at the time the contract
is executed, with future payments dependent upon the completion of certain contract phases or
targeted milestones. In the event of contract cancellation, the Company is entitled to payment for
all work performed through the point of cancellation. Likewise, in the event of contract
cancellation prior to earning revenue equal to or greater than the initial payment, the Company is
required to refund the unused portion.
Concentration of Credit Risk
The Company is subject to credit risk through accounts receivable and short-term investments.
The Company does not require collateral and its accounts receivable are unsecured. Short-term
investments are placed with high credit-quality financial
institutions or in short-duration,
high credit-quality debt securities. The Company limits the amount of credit exposure in any one
institution or type of investment instrument.
Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less
when purchased to be cash equivalents. Investments in cash equivalents are carried at cost which
approximates market value.
Short-term Investments
Short-term investments are comprised of obligations of U.S. government-sponsored enterprises
and corporate obligations with maturities of one year or less. These securities are stated at
amortized cost, which approximates fair value. The Company has the positive intent and ability to
hold the securities to maturity.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciable assets consist of office and computer
equipment, software and software development costs, and leasehold improvements. Depreciation and
amortization on office and computer equipment and software, and software development costs is
computed using the straight-line method over estimated useful lives of 3 to 7 years. Leasehold
improvements are amortized using the straight-line method over the lesser of the assets estimated
useful life or the lease term. Depreciation and amortization expense related to depreciable assets,
including assets recorded under capital leases, was $1,541,000,
$1,510,000 and $748,000 for 2007,
2006 and 2005, respectively.
F-8
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
The Company evaluates long-lived assets for impairment in accordance with Financial Accounting
Standards Board (FASB) Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 144, Accounting
for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets. As such, the carrying values of long-lived assets are
evaluated if circumstances indicate a possible impairment in value. If undiscounted cash flows over
the remaining amortization period indicate that long-lived assets may not be recoverable, the
carrying value will be reduced by the estimated shortfall of cash flows on a discounted basis.
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 consolidated statement of cash flows. The notes payable bear interest at prime plus 1%,
and principal payments are due in installments of $425,000 and $3,000,000 on February 1, 2008 and
2009, respectively. In February 2008, the Company made
$425,000 installment that was due on February 1, 2008.
The acquisition was accounted for as a purchase, and accordingly, fair value adjustments to
the assets acquired and liabilities assumed were recorded as of the date of acquisition.
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.

The $6,040,000 of acquired amortizable intangible assets were assigned as follows: (i)
$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 $10,856,000 of goodwill is not deductible for income tax purposes. Total
amortization expense related to the amortizable intangibles was $1,869,000 during the year ended
December 31, 2007 which included a change in estimate of $316,000 related to the contracts and
customer relationship intangible asset and an impairment charge of
$213,000 related to the employee non-compete agreement intangible
asset. The estimated aggregate amortization expense related to the
amortizable intangibles for each of the next five fiscal years is: (i) $967,000 in 2008; (ii)
$505,000 in 2009; (iii) $476,000 in 2010; (iv) $476,000 in 2011; and (v) $476,000 in 2012.
F-9
In accordance with SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, goodwill is deemed to
have an indefinite life and is not amortized but is subject to an impairment test at least
annually, or more frequently when impairment indicators arise. As a result of consecutive quarterly
operating losses since the first quarter of 2006 and forecasted continuing operating losses based
on current sales trends, the Company determined that impairment indicators existed as of June 30,
2007, September 30, 2007 and also as of December 31, 2007. The Company conducted impairment testing
of its goodwill as of all three dates. For purposes of goodwill impairment testing, the Company
determined that it has one reporting unit. The Company compared the estimated fair value of the
reporting unit to its carrying value, including goodwill. The fair value of the reporting unit
exceeded its carrying value as of all three dates, and therefore goodwill was not deemed to be
impaired on any of the three testing dates.
In accordance with SFAS No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets, the
carrying values of long-lived assets are evaluated if circumstances indicate a possible impairment
in value. As a result of consecutive quarterly operating losses since the first quarter of 2006 and
forecasted continuing operating losses based on current sales trends, the Company determined that
impairment indicators for its finite-lived tangible and intangible assets existed as of June 30,
2007, September 30, 2007 and also as of December 31, 2007. The Company conducted impairment testing
of its finite-lived tangible and intangible assets as of all three dates. As a result of its
testing, the Company recorded an impairment charge of $213,000 against the non-compete agreements
for the three months ended September 30, 2007. The $213,000 impairment charge is included in
depreciation and amortization on the Income Statement. No other
impairment charges were
recorded in 2007.
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 years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, as though the Company had acquired ClickFind at the
beginning of 2005, 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,
2005.

Stock-Based Compensation
On January 1, 2006, DATATRAK adopted SFAS No. 123(R), Share-Based Payment, using the
modified prospective method. Under this method, compensation cost is recognized beginning January
1, 2006 based on the requirements of SFAS No. 123(R) for all
share-based payments granted on or after
January 1, 2006, and based on the requirements of SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation, for all awards granted to employees prior to January 1, 2006 that remain unvested at
January 1, 2006. The Company used the Black-Scholes option valuation model to calculate the fair
value of stock options granted.
Prior to January 1, 2006, the Company accounted for stock-based compensation in accordance
with Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to
Employees, for stock options granted to employees and directors, and followed the alternative fair
value accounting provided for under SFAS No. 123 and EITF 96-18 for stock options granted to
non-employees. SFAS No. 148, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation Transition and Disclosure,
requires disclosure of compensation expense under both APB No. 25 and SFAS No. 123. The following
assumptions were used to estimate the fair value, for the options granted during 2005, using the
Black-Scholes option valuation model.

The adoption of SFAS No. 123(R) increased DATATRAKs selling, general and administrative
expenses by approximately $376,000 or $0.03 per share on both a basic and diluted basis, for the
year ended December 31, 2006. The adoption did not significantly impact the Companys consolidated
statement of cash flows. Because this expense is all related to incentive stock options, and is not
deductible for income tax purposes, deferred tax assets have not been recorded. The Companys
unamortized compensation cost, related to non-vested stock options and restricted common shares, at
December 31, 2007 and 2006 was $263,000 and $676,000,
respectively. The unamortized cost of $263,000 at December 31,
2007 is expected to be amortized in the amounts of $226,000 and
$37,000 in 2008 and 2009, respectively.
Income Taxes
The Company follows SFAS No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. This accounting standard
requires that the liability method be used in accounting for income taxes. Under this accounting
method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between the
financial reporting basis and the tax basis of assets and liabilities and are measured using the
enacted tax rates and laws that apply in the periods in which the deferred tax asset or liability
is expected to be realized or settled. A valuation allowance is provided for deferred tax assets
for which realization currently is not certain. Quarterly income taxes are recorded at the
effective rate, based on annual forecasted income.
The Company evaluates on an annual basis the need for and the relative amount of valuation
allowance to record against its deferred tax assets. In accordance with FAS 109, the Company
considers all available positive and negative evidence in this analysis. The Company uses four main
sources of taxable income in determining the need for a valuation allowance, they are: operating
income in carryback years, reversals of existing timing differences, tax planning strategies and
future taxable income.
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; however, the Company recorded a FIN No. 48 liability of $130,000 in the fourth
quarter of 2007 as explained below in Note 5.
F-11
Use of Estimates
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.
Financial Instruments
The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, accounts and notes receivable, accounts
payable and accrued expenses are reasonable estimates of fair value due to the short-term nature of
these financial instruments. Investments are reported at amortized cost, which approximates fair
value.
Advertising Costs
Advertising costs are expensed as incurred and are included in selling, general and
administrative expenses. Advertising expenses were $391,000, $336,000 and $163,000 for 2007, 2006
and 2005, respectively.
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 Company performs an annual review of the
recoverability of such capitalized software costs. 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 remaining capitalized amounts are expensed.
Research and development expenses included in selling, general and administrative expenses
were $2,405,000, $2,310,000 and $1,650,000 in 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively.
Foreign Currency Translation
The assets and liabilities of the Companys foreign subsidiary are translated into U.S.
dollars at current exchange rates. Revenue and expense accounts of these operations are translated
at average rates prevailing during the period. These translation adjustments are accumulated in a
separate component of shareholders equity. Foreign currency transaction gains and losses are
included in determining net (loss) income when realized.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards
In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (FAS) No.
157, Fair Value Measurements. The standard provides guidance for using fair value to measure
assets and liabilities. Under the standard, fair value refers to the price that would be received
to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market
participants in the market in which the reporting entity transacts. The standard clarifies the
principle that fair value should be based on the assumptions market participants would use when
pricing the asset or liability. In support of this principle, the standard establishes a fair value
hierarchy that prioritizes the information used to develop those assumptions. The Statement is
effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and
interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company adopted FAS No. 157 in the first quarter of
2008 and the impact upon adoption was not material.
Reclassification
Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.

In 2007, the Companys pre-tax loss was $10,900,000 and the Company provided a full valuation
allowance against its net deferred tax assets. During 2007, the Company reevaluated its valuation
allowance and reduced its German valuation allowance by $319,000 which resulted in an income tax
benefit and increased the overall unreserved German deferred tax assets to $400,000 at December 31,
2007. The $319,000 benefit was partially offset by a $130,000 FIN No. 48 liability recorded in the
fourth quarter of 2007, a $22,000 reduction of the net German deferred tax assets due to a decrease
in the future German income tax rate and the use of $121,000 of foreign net operating losses to
reduce foreign taxable income.
During 2007 the German tax authority began an audit of the Companys German subsidiary for the
years 2002 through 2005. In the fourth quarter of 2007 the German tax authority established a
position to disallow losses recognized in 2002 and 2003 and to classify such treatment as a
constructive dividend to the U.S. parent company. The final outcome and any potential liability
from the audit is uncertain. In accordance with FIN No. 48 guidelines, the Company recorded an
unrecognized tax benefit in the amount of $130,000 in association with this examination. This
expense along with the associated reduction of the fully reserved deferred tax assets associated
with the net operating losses for 2002 and 2003 was recorded in the fourth quarter of 2007.
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 $22,000
reduction in its unreserved foreign net deferred tax asset. In addition, the Company reduced its
fully reserved foreign deferred tax asset and corresponding valuation
reserve by $817,000.
In 2006, DATATRAK reported a net operating loss which placed the Company in a three year
cumulative loss position. This cumulative loss resulted in sufficient negative evidence to require
a full valuation allowance against the Companys net U.S. deferred tax assets. The tax provision
in 2006 primarily resulted from the reinstatement of the Companys U.S. and German valuation
allowances.
For the three years ending December 31, 2005, the Company realized taxable income of
approximately $1,900,000 on a cumulative basis. Prior to 2005, DATATRAK provided a full valuation
reserve on its deferred tax assets which consisted primarily of net operating loss carryforwards
from prior years, but given DATATRAKs ability to generate a substantial profit for this three year
period, management believed that a full valuation allowance on DATATRAKs deferred tax assets was
no longer necessary at December 31, 2005. The tax benefit in 2005 resulted primarily from the
reversal of the Companys valuation allowance.
At December 31, 2007 the Company had a net operating loss carryforward of approximately
$29,539,000 for United States income tax purposes. An equity transaction completed on January 7,
2002 has limited the Companys net operating loss carryforwards, incurred prior to that date, to a
maximum amount of approximately $1,000,000 per year, under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue
Code. All of the Companys United States net operating loss carryforwards will begin expiring in
the year 2018 and will be fully expired in the year 2027. The Company also has a net operating loss
carryforward of approximately 5,728,000 euro for German income tax purposes with no expiration
date.
F-14
As part of the ClickFind acquisition in 2006, DATATRAK acquired $6,040,000 of amortizable
intangible assets. The amortization expense related to these intangible assets is not deductible
for income tax purposes. The Company will use its net operating loss carryforwards to offset these
deferred tax liabilities, which the Company will realize fully by 2013.
The significant components of the Companys deferred tax assets, stated in U.S. dollars, are

At December 31, 2007, the Company had $999,000 of deferred tax liabilities related to future
amortization expense of intangible assets that is not deductible for income tax purposes.
At December 31, 2007, a valuation allowance of approximately $11,334,000 remains against
DATATRAKs deferred tax assets, which consist primarily of net operating loss carryforwards for
both U.S. and foreign income taxes. Of the $11,334,000 total allowance, approximately $9,116,000 is
recorded against the portion of DATATRAKs deferred tax assets that represent net operating loss
carryforwards for U.S. income taxes, and approximately $1,884,000 is recorded against the portion
of DATATRAKs deferred tax assets that represent net operating loss carryforwards for German income
taxes. The remaining $334,000 valuation allowance is provided for other non-current deferred tax
assets.
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; however, the Company recorded a FIN No. 48 liability of $130,000 in the
fourth quarter of 2007 as explained above.
6. Employee Terminations
During the year ended December 31, 2007, the Company recorded a charge of $915,000 for
severance benefits and stay bonuses due to 45 terminated employees. As of December 31, 2007, $523,000
of these costs remained unpaid. The majority of the unpaid severance will be paid prior to July 1,
2008.
During the second quarter of 2006, the Company recorded a charge of $295,000 for severance
benefits due to terminated employees. This charge was related to a June 2006 staff reduction of 10
employees, whose positions became redundant as a result of the ClickFind acquisition.
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. There were no future service requirements in connection with the above noted
terminations.

The ClickFind Notes are held by certain former shareholders of ClickFind. They bear interest
at prime plus 1% and remaining net 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 $425,000 due on February 1, 2008 was subsequently
paid.
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 December 31, 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.
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.
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. Certain of these leases include bargain purchase options while the more recent
ones entered into include fair value purchase options at the end of the lease term.
The

9. Line of Credit
We have established a line of credit with a bank. This line allows us to borrow up to a
certain percentage of our investments, as determined by the type of investment, held at the bank.
As of December 31, 2007, $1,980,000 was available to be
borrowed. 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 December 31, 2007 or 2006.
10. 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 December
31, 2007.
In connection with March 2007 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 requires the Company to, except under
certain limited circumstances, keep the registration statement effective until certain threshold
dates. The registration rights agreement also requires the Company to maintain (e.g. maintenance
requirement) a 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 will
have to pay each holder an amount equal to 1.0% of the aggregate purchase price for each month of
such failure. The aggregate amount of these registration failure payments will 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.
In December 2007, 141,399 warrants expired which had an exercise price of $9.60 per share.
There are 343,423 warrants outstanding at December 31, 2007 which have original terms of 5 years
and exercise prices ranging from $3.20 to $6.00 per share.
F-17
On July 22, 2005, the Companys shareholders approved the DATATRAK International, Inc. 2005
Omnibus Equity Plan (the Omnibus Plan). The Omnibus Plan is intended to be the primary
share-based award program for covered employees and directors. The Omnibus Plan gives the
Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors flexibility to grant a wide variety of share-based
awards by taking into account such factors as the type and level of employee, relevant business and
performance goals and the prevailing tax and accounting treatments.
Pursuant to the Omnibus Plan, a total of 35,000 and 21,364 restricted common shares were
granted to three key employees in 2007 and 2006, respectively. Awards granted to key employees
vest ratably over a period of 24 and 12 months following the
grant date for the 2007 and 2006
restricted stock grants, respectively. The weighted-average grant-date fair value of restricted
stock awards granted during 2007 and 2006 was $4.53 and $4.65, respectively. No restricted stock
awards were granted in 2005.
The following table summarizes the status of restricted stock awards as of December 31, 2007 and
2006, and changes during the year then ended:

We recognize compensation expense related to restricted stock awards on a straight-line basis
over the vesting periods. As of December 31, 2007, there was
$109,000 of unrecognized compensation
cost related to non-vested restricted stock awards. We expect to recognize $79,000 of that cost in
2008 and the remaining $30,000 in 2009. The fair value of restricted stock awards that vested
during 2007 was $99,400.
During the fourth quarter of 2007, the Board of Directors decided that it would be in the best
interest of the Company to conserve cash by modifying its then existing director compensation
program which consisted of payments in the form of cash and vested stock to non-employee Directors.
Under the prior model of the director compensation program, in consideration of their services to
the Company, each non-employee member of the Board of Directors received, in addition to certain
cash payments, an annual compensation grant of $16,000 worth of fully-vested common shares. In
addition, non-employee Directors received additional awards of common shares as compensation for
attendance at Board and Committee meetings, as well as for chairing a Committee of the Board.
F-18
During the year ended December 31, 2007, non-employee Directors were awarded 33,323 common
shares. Stock compensation expense of $136,000 was recorded in 2007 as a result of the common
shares granted under the previous model of the director compensation program.
During the year ended December 31, 2006, non-employee Directors were awarded 25,104 common
shares. Stock compensation expense of $153,000 was recorded in 2006 as a result of the common
shares granted under the previous model of the director compensation program.
Reserved Shares
At December 31, 2007, the Company had reserved 1,655,033 common shares for the exercise of
common share options and warrants. Of the 1,655,033 reserved shares, 205,500 shares are reserved
for future grants under the Companys previously established share option plans. Because the
Omnibus Plan was approved, the 205,500 common share options that could have been granted pursuant
to the Companys previously established share option plans are
not expected to be granted.
In addition, at December 31, 2007 the Company had reserved 187,000 common shares for future
awards and 42,000 for the exercise of stock options pursuant to the Omnibus Plan.
Serial Preferred Shares
At December 31, 2007 and 2006, the Company had 1,000,000 Serial Preferred Shares, without par
value, authorized, with none outstanding.
Treasury Shares
At December 31, 2007 and 2006, the Company held 3,300,000 of its common shares in treasury at
a cost of $20,188,308.
Shareholder Rights Plan
Effective September 5, 2007, in connection with the adoption of the rights agreement between the
Company and National City Bank as Rights Agent dated September 5, 2007 (the Rights
Agreement), the Board of Directors declared a dividend of one preferred share purchase right (a
Right) for each outstanding common share, payable to the Companys shareholders of record as of
September 17, 2007 (the Record Date). Each Right entitles the registered holder of the common
shares on the Record Date to buy one one-hundredth of a share of Series A Junior Participating Preferred
stock (a Preferred Share) at an exercise price of $11.70, subject to adjustment as provided in the Rights Agreement.
The Rights are not exercisable until the earlier to occur of (i) ten (10) days
following a public announcement that a person or group of affiliated or associated persons (an
Acquiring Person) has acquired beneficial ownership of 15% or more of the Companys outstanding
common shares or (ii) ten (10) business days (or such later date as may be determined by action of
the Board of Directors prior to such time as any person or group of affiliated persons becomes an
Acquiring Person) following the commencement of, or announcement of an intention to make, a tender
offer or exchange offer, the consummation of which would result in the beneficial ownership by a
person or group of 15% or more of the Companys outstanding common shares (the earlier of such
dates being called the Distribution Date).
Until the Rights are exercised, the holder has no rights as a shareholder of the Company,
including, without limitation, the right to vote or to receive dividends. Except as provided for in
the Rights Agreement, the Rights shall not be traded separately from the common shares and will
expire on the earliest of (i) the close of business on September 5, 2017, (ii) the time at which
the Rights are redeemed or (iii) the time at which such Rights are exchanged. Pursuant to the
Rights Agreement, the purchase price payable and number of Preferred Shares issuable upon exercise
of the Rights are subject to adjustment from time to time to prevent dilution upon the occurrence
of certain events such as a stock dividend on, or a subdivision, combination or reclassification of
the Preferred Shares.
F-19
11. Share Option Plans
The Company has three share option plans with unexpired options that may be exercised by the
holders of such options. At December 31, 2007, the Company had
reserved 1,311,610 common shares for
the exercise of options outstanding and future option grants. The Company has granted 2,538,661 options to purchase common
shares to employees, directors and others of which 1,432,551 have been previously exercised. There
are 205,500 options to purchase common shares available for future grants; however, no future
option grants are expected to be made under the Companys share
option plans. All future grants are expected to be made under the
Companys Omnibus Plan. The weighted-average
remaining contractual life of all options outstanding was 3.9 years as of December 31, 2007.
The Amended and Restated 1996 Outside Directors Stock Option Plan, as amended ( the 1996
Director Plan) was established by the Company to provide common share options as compensation to
directors of the Company. This option plan terminated on September 20, 2006 and as a result no
future option grants can be made from this plan. All options outstanding at the time of the
termination of the 1996 Director Plan shall continue in full force and effect in accordance with
and subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan. Certain options, as approved by the Companys
shareholders, were granted under the 1996 Director Plan at exercise prices below the market value
of a common share on the date of approval. All compensation expense related to these common share
options has been previously recognized by the Company. All other options granted under the 1996
Director Plan have been granted at exercise prices that represented the fair market value of a
common share on the date of grant. Vesting of options awarded under the 1996 Director Plan ranged
from 6 to 36 months. All options granted under the 1996 Director Plan expire ten years after the
grant date. At December 31, 2007 there were 55,000 options outstanding under the 1996 Director
Plan, all of which were 100% vested. These options had a weighted-average remaining contractual
life of 0.5 years and a weighted-average exercise price of $2.81.
The Amended and Restated 1996 Key Employees and Consultants Stock Option Plan (the 1996
Plan) provides for the granting of options to purchase common shares to key employees and
consultants of the Company and its affiliates. This option plan terminated on February 29, 2007 and
as a result no future option grants can be made from this Plan. All options outstanding at the
time of the termination of the 1996 Plan shall continue in full force and effect in accordance with
and subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan. During 2000, common share options totaling
116,031 were granted at exercise prices of less than the fair market value of a common share on the
date of grant. All other options granted under the 1996 Plan have been granted at exercise prices
that represented the fair market value of a common share on the date of grant. Vesting of options
awarded under the 1996 Plan ranges from two to four years, as determined by the Board of Directors
Compensation Committee, and all options granted under the 1996 Plan expire ten years after the
grant date. At December 31, 2007 there were 525,360 options outstanding under the 1996 Plan of
which 480,135 were 100% vested. These options had a weighted-average remaining contractual life of
4.4 years and a weighted-average exercise price of $3.74. Unrecognized compensation expense related
to the 45,225 unvested options was $153,000 at December 31, 2007 of which $147,000 and $6,000 are
expected to be recognized in 2008 and 2009, respectively.
The Amended and Restated Outside Director Stock Option Plan (the Director Plan) provides for
the granting of options to purchase common shares to outside directors of the Company. Certain
options approved by Companys Board of Directors and its shareholders have been granted at exercise
prices below the market value of a common share on the grant date in 2000. All compensation expense
related to these common share options has been previously recognized by the Company. All other
options granted under the Director Plan have been granted at exercise prices that represented the
fair market value of a common share on the date of grant. Options fully vest one year following the
grant date. All options granted under the Director Plan expire ten years after the grant date. At
December 31, 2007 there were 525,750 options outstanding under the Director Plan all of which were
100% vested. These options had a weighted-average contractual life of 3.8 years and a
weighted-average exercise price of $2.93.

The
table above excludes 42,000 share options granted in 2007 under the
Omnibus Plan. Under the new model of the director compensation program, non-employee Directors will receive
stock options instead of common shares as compensation for their services to the Company. During the fourth quarter of 2007, the Company
granted 42,000 options to Directors at a strike price of $2.20 per share. As a result, the Company
recorded compensation expense of $71,400 in the fourth quarter of 2007. These options are fully
vested with a weighted average remaining life of 9.9 years and have a negative intrinsic value of
($4,000) as of December 31, 2007.
There
were no options granted under the share option plans in 2006. During
2006, options totaling 173,064 were exercised at a weighted average
price of $2.68 per share and had an aggregate intrinsic value of
$520,000. Also during 2006, there were 56,378 options cancelled at a
weighted average of $6.08 per share.
12. Retirement Savings Plan
The Company sponsors The DATATRAK International, Inc. Retirement Savings Plan (the Plan) as
defined by Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. The Plan covers
substantially all United States employees who elect to participate. Participants may contribute their annual compensation into a variety of mutual fund options. Matching and profit
sharing contributions by the Company are discretionary. The Company did not make any matching or
profit sharing contributions in 2007, 2006 or 2005.

DATATRAK GmbH is required to provide a bank guarantee to the lessor of its office space equal
to three months 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 $87,000 and $78,000 at December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. The higher balance at
December 31, 2007 compared to December 31, 2006 is solely due to currency fluctuation.

During the second quarter of 2006, the Company recorded a charge of $295,000 for severance

a result of contracts subject to volume discounts.
