NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Tabular information in thousands, except per share amounts)
 

1.
BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes (the interim financial statements) should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements of PDI, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the Company or PDI) and related notes as included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011 as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).  The interim financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) for interim financial reporting and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X.  Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements.  The interim financial statements include all normal recurring adjustments that, in the judgment of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of such interim financial statements.  All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.  Operating results for the three-month period ended June 30, 2012 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2012 .
On December 29, 2011, the Company entered into an agreement to sell certain assets of its Pharmakon business unit to Informed Medical Communications, Inc. (Informed) in exchange for potential future royalty payments and a 1% ownership interest in Informed. See Note 12 to the interim financial statements for additional detail regarding the discontinued operations of Pharmakon.
On August 1, 2011, the Company announced the formation of its new business unit, Interpace BioPharma. Interpace BioPharma provides biopharmaceutical clients with full-service product commercialization solutions. These services include full supply chain management, operations, sales, marketing, compliance, and regulatory/medical management. The revenue and costs associated with this unit are reflected in the Product Commercialization Services (PC Services) segment in all periods presented.
On March 3, 2011, the Company announced the launch of a new business unit within its Sales Services segment, EngageCE. EngageCE provides clinical educator services to our customers. The goal of clinical educators is to work with healthcare providers in the management of chronic diseases in order to optimize patient care and outcomes. The Company has seen a growing demand for these types of services by its customers and believes that the clinical educator services provided via EngageCE will complement traditional sales force efforts and enhance the Company's offerings.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Accounting Estimates
The preparation of the interim financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts of assets and liabilities reported and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the interim financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.  Management's estimates are based on historical experience, facts and circumstances available at the time, and various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.  Significant estimates include incentives earned or penalties incurred on contracts, best estimate of selling price in multiple element arrangements, valuation allowances related to deferred income taxes, self-insurance loss accruals, allowances for doubtful accounts and notes, income tax accruals, acquisition accounting, asset impairments and facilities realignment accruals.  The Company periodically reviews these matters and reflects changes in estimates as appropriate.  Actual results could materially differ from those estimates.
Basic and Diluted Net Loss per Share
A reconciliation of the number of shares of common stock used in the calculation of basic and diluted loss per share for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2012 and 2011 is as follows:

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
The Company allocates the cost of acquired companies to the identifiable tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed, with the remaining amount classified as goodwill. Since the entities the Company has acquired do not have significant tangible assets, a significant portion of the purchase price has been allocated to intangible assets and goodwill. The identification and valuation of these intangible assets and the determination of the estimated useful lives at the time of acquisition, as well as the completion of impairment tests require significant management judgments and estimates. These estimates are made based on, among other factors, consultations with an accredited independent valuation consultant, reviews of projected future operating results and business plans, economic projections, anticipated highest and best use of future cash flows and the market participant cost of capital. The use of alternative estimates and assumptions could increase or decrease the estimated fair value of goodwill and other intangible assets, and potentially result in a different impact to the Company's results of operations. Further, changes in business strategy and/or market conditions may significantly impact these judgments thereby impacting the fair value of these assets, which could result in an impairment of the goodwill.
The Company tests goodwill and indefinite lived intangible assets for impairment at least annually (as of December 31) and whenever events or circumstances change that indicate impairment may have occurred. A significant amount of judgment is involved in determining if an indicator of impairment has occurred. Such indicators may include, among others: a significant decline in expected future cash flows; a sustained, significant decline in stock price and market capitalization; a significant adverse change in legal factors or in the business climate of the pharmaceutical industry; unanticipated competition; and slower growth rates. Any adverse change in these factors could have a significant impact on the recoverability of goodwill, and indefinite lived intangible assets and our consolidated financial results. At June 30, 2012 , no indicators of impairment were identified. 
Long-Lived Assets
The Company reviews the recoverability of long-lived assets and finite-lived intangible assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of such assets may not be recoverable. The Company did not identify any events or changes in circumstances that indicated that the carrying value of such assets may not be recoverable during the six-month period ended June 30, 2012 .
Cost of Services - Initial Direct Program Costs
Initial direct program costs are the costs associated with initiating a product detailing program, such as recruiting and hiring and certain other direct incremental costs, excluding pass through costs that are billed to customers. Through March

PDI, Inc.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
(Tabular information in thousands, except per share amounts)

31, 2012, the Company expensed these initial direct program costs as incurred, as these amounts were not material to the operating results of the Company.  As a result of the Company's recent contract signings and plans to enter into larger contracts in the future, requiring more material initial direct program costs, commencing April 1, 2012, the Company changed its policy for the recognition of such initial direct program costs. These costs are now being deferred and amortized to expense in proportion to the revenue recognized as driven by the terms of the contract. This change in accounting was not applied retrospectively because the effect on prior periods was immaterial.
Reclassifications
The Company reclassified certain prior period financial statement balances to conform to the current year presentation. See Note 12, Discontinued Operations, for further information.
Accounting Standards Updates
In June 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-05 (ASU 2011-05), "Presentation of Comprehensive Income," which requires an entity to present the total of comprehensive income, the components of net income, and the components of other comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income, or in two separate but consecutive statements. ASU 2011-05 eliminated the option to present components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of equity. ASU 2011-05 was effective for the Company January 1, 2012. The adoption of ASU 2011-05 did not have a material effect on the Company's operating results or financial position.

In September 2011, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-08 (ASU 2011-08), "Testing Goodwill for Impairment." ASU 2011-08 updates guidance on the periodic testing of goodwill for impairment. This updated guidance allows companies to assess qualitative factors to determine if it is more likely than not that goodwill will be impaired and whether it is necessary to perform the two-step goodwill impairment test required under current accounting standards. The Company adopted this new guidance effective January 1, 2012. The adoption of ASU 2011-08 did not have a material effect on the Company's operating results or financial position.

INVESTMENTS IN MARKETABLE SECURITIES
Available-for-sale securities are carried at fair value with the unrealized holding gains or losses, net of tax, included as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in stockholders’ equity. Realized gains and losses on available-for-sale securities are computed based upon specific identification and included in other income (expense), net in the consolidated statement of operations.  Declines in value judged to be other-than-temporary on available-for-sale securities are recorded in other income (expense), net in the consolidated statement of operations and the cost basis of the security is reduced. The fair values for marketable equity securities are based on quoted market prices.  Held-to-maturity investments are stated at amortized cost which approximates fair value.  Interest income is accrued as earned.  Realized gains and losses on held-to-maturity investments are computed based upon specific identification and included in other income (expense), net in the condensed consolidated statement of operations.  The Company does not have any investments classified as trading.
Available-for-sale securities consist of assets in a rabbi trust associated with the Company’s deferred compensation plan.  As of June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011 , the carrying value of available-for-sale securities was approximately $ 91,000 and $ 127,000 , respectively, and is included in short-term investments.  Available-for-sale securities at June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011 consisted of $43,000 and $ 65,000 , respectively, in mutual funds, and approximately $48,000 and $62,000 , respectively, in money market accounts.
The Company’s other marketable securities consist of investment grade debt instruments such as obligations of U.S. Treasury and U.S. Federal Government agencies.  These investments are categorized as held-to-maturity since the Company’s management has the ability and intent to hold these securities to maturity.  The Company’s held-to-maturity investments are carried at amortized cost which approximates fair value and are maintained in separate accounts to support the Company’s letters of credit.  The Company had standby letters of credit of approximately $ 2.9 million as of June 30, 2012 and $3.1 million at December 31, 2011 , as collateral for its existing insurance policies and facility leases.
At June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011 , held-to-maturity investments included the following:

FACILITIES REALIGNMENT
Saddle River, New Jersey Facility
 
Prior to December 2009, the Company's corporate headquarters were located in a three-floor facility in Saddle River, New Jersey. In 2007, the Company entered into a sublease for the second floor of its Saddle River, New Jersey facility through the end of the facility's lease term, January 2016. This sublease will not fully offset the Company's lease obligations for this space; therefore, the Company recorded a $ 1.0 million charge for facility realignment and related asset impairment for furniture and leasehold improvements in the office space.

In December 2009, the Company relocated its corporate headquarters from its Saddle River, New Jersey facility to a smaller office located in Parsippany, New Jersey. Due to the relocation, the Company recorded a facility realignment charge of approximately $ 3.9 million in December 2009 and a non-cash impairment charge of approximately $ 1.5 million related to furniture, leasehold improvements and office equipment in the office space. Effective September 1, 2009, the Company extended the sublease for the first floor of its Saddle River, New Jersey facility through the remainder of the facility lease term. The sublease is expected to provide approximately $ 2.3 million in sublease income through January 2016, but will not fully offset the Company's lease obligations for this space. As a result, the Company recorded a $ 0.8 million facility realignment charge in the third quarter of 2009. The Company also recorded a non-cash impairment charge of approximately $ 0.4 million related to furniture and leasehold improvements in the office space.

Due to continued adverse conditions in the real estate market in 2010, the Company adjusted its assumptions regarding its ability to sublease unoccupied space on the third floor of the Saddle River, New Jersey facility resulting in realignment charges of approximately $ 0.6 million and $ 1.4 million during the quarters ended June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2010, respectively. In September 2011, the Company secured a sublease for the approximately 47,000 square feet of remaining space in Saddle River, New Jersey. This sublease runs through the end of the facility's lease term, January 2016. The Company expects to receive approximately $ 2.2 million in lease payments over the life of the sublease.
Dresher, Pennsylvania Facility
During the year ended December 31, 2009, the Company continued to right size its operations in Dresher, Pennsylvania and recorded facility realignment charges of $ 1.4 million and non-cash impairments of furniture and leasehold improvements of $ 0.7 million . During 2010, the Company discontinued the operations of its TVG business unit and exited the remaining portion of space at the facility, thus recording additional restructuring charges of $ 0.3 million for facility realignment and $ 0.6 million for non-cash asset impairments of furniture and leasehold improvements in discontinued operations for the year ended December 31, 2010. See Note 12, Discontinued Operations, for further information regarding the discontinued operations of TVG.
In the first quarter of 2011, the Company entered into two separate agreements to sublease substantially all of the remaining space in Dresher, Pennsylvania.  These subleases have lease terms that expire on November 30, 2016 in connection with the underlying facility lease.  
Schaumburg, Illinois Facility
In December 2011, the Company sold certain assets of its Pharmakon business unit, vacated the business units' Schaumburg, Illinois facility and recorded a facility realignment charge of $ 0.4 million in discontinued operations. During the first quarter of 2012, the Company secured a sublease for the approximately 6,700 square feet of office space in Schaumburg, Illinois. This sublease runs through the end of the facility's lease term, February 2015. The Company expects to receive approximately $ 0.3 million in lease payments over the life of the sublease.
The following table presents a rollforward of the Company’s restructuring reserve from December 31, 2011 to June 30, 2012 , of which approximately $ 1.6 million is included in other accrued expenses and $ 1.8 million is included in long-term liabilities as of June 30, 2012 . The Company recognizes accretion expense in Other expense, net in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations.

FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
The Company's financial assets and liabilities reflected at fair value in the consolidated financial statements include: cash and cash equivalents; short-term investments; accounts receivable; other current assets; accounts payable; and contingent

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
(Tabular information in thousands, except per share amounts)

consideration. Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In determining fair value, the Company uses various methods including market, income and cost approaches. Based on these approaches, the Company often utilizes certain assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risk and/or the risks inherent in the inputs to the valuation technique. These inputs can be readily observable, market-corroborated, or generally unobservable inputs. The Company utilizes valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. Based upon observable inputs used in the valuation techniques, the Company is required to provide information according to the fair value hierarchy. The fair value hierarchy ranks the quality and reliability of the information used to determine fair values into three broad levels as follows:
Level 1:
Valuations for assets and liabilities traded in active markets from readily available pricing sources for market transactions involving identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2:
Valuations for assets and liabilities traded in less active dealer or broker markets. Valuations are obtained from third-party pricing services for identical or similar assets or liabilities.
Level 3:
Valuations incorporate certain assumptions and projections in determining the fair value assigned to such assets or liabilities.
In instances where the determination of the fair value measurement is based on inputs from different levels of the fair value hierarchy, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the entire fair value measurement falls is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The Company's assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment, and considers factors specific to the asset or liability.
The valuation methodologies used for the Company's financial instruments measured on a recurring basis at fair value, including the general classification of such instruments pursuant to the valuation hierarchy, is set forth in the table below.

The fair value of cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities is valued using market prices in active markets (level 1). As of June 30, 2012 , the Company did not have any marketable securities in less active markets (level 2) or (level 3).

The Company considers carrying amounts of accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses to approximate fair value due to the short-term nature of these financial instruments. There is no fair value ascribed to the letters of credit as management does not expect any material losses to result from these instruments because performance is not expected to be required.

(Tabular information in thousands, except per share amounts)

Letters of Credit
As of June 30, 2012 , the Company had outstanding letters of credit of $ 2.9 million as required by its existing insurance policies and facility leases.  These letters of credit are supported by investments in held-to-maturity securities.  See Note 3, Investments in Marketable Securities, for additional detail regarding investments in marketable securities.
Litigation
Due to the nature of the businesses in which the Company is engaged, such as product detailing and in the past, the distribution of products, it is subject to certain risks. Such risks include, among others, risk of liability for personal injury or death to persons using products the Company promotes or distributes. There can be no assurance that substantial claims or liabilities will not arise in the future due to the nature of the Company’s business activities and recent increases in litigation related to healthcare products, including pharmaceuticals. The Company seeks to reduce its potential liability under its service agreements through measures such as contractual indemnification provisions with customers (the scope of which may vary from customer to customer, and the performance of which is not secured) and insurance. The Company could, however, also be held liable for errors and omissions of its employees in connection with the services it performs that are outside the scope of any indemnity or insurance policy. The Company could be materially adversely affected if it were required to pay damages or incur defense costs in connection with a claim that is outside the scope of an indemnification agreement; if the indemnity, although applicable, is not performed in accordance with its terms; or if the Company’s liability exceeds the amount of applicable insurance or indemnity.

The Company will record a liability when management believes that it is both probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss is reasonably estimable. For such matters where management believes a liability is not probable but is reasonably possible, a liability is not recorded; instead, an estimate of loss or range of loss, if material individually or in the aggregate, is disclosed if reasonably estimable, or a statement will be made that an estimate of loss cannot be made. Once a matter has been disclosed that is material, or could be material to the Company, the matter is continued to be reported upon until there is finality of outcome or until it is determined that disclosure is no longer warranted. Further, we believe our estimate of the aggregate range of reasonably possible losses for legal proceedings was not material at June 30, 2012.

STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
On January 30, 2012, under the terms of the stockholder-approved PDI, Inc. 2004 Stock Award Incentive Plan (the 2004 Plan), the Compensation and Management Development Committee of the Board (the Compensation Committee) approved grants of restricted stock to certain executive officers and members of senior management of the Company. The full Board approved the portion of these grants made to the Company’s Chief Executive Officer.  As part of the Company's 2011 long-term incentive plan, these grants aggregated 150,567 shares of restricted stock issued with a weighted average grant date fair value of $ 6.56 per share.
The grant date fair values of SARs awards are determined using a Black-Scholes pricing model.  Assumptions utilized in the model are evaluated and revised, as necessary, to reflect market conditions and experience. The following table

10.    INCOME TAXES
Generally, accounting standards require companies to provide for income taxes each quarter based on their estimate of the effective tax rate for the full year. The authoritative guidance for accounting for income taxes allows use of the discrete method when it provides a better estimate of income tax expense. Due to the Company's valuation allowance position and the existence of a deferred tax liability related to indefinite lived intangibles, it is the Company's position that the discrete method provides a more accurate estimate of income tax expense and therefore income tax expense for the current quarter has been presented using the discrete method.  As the year progresses, the Company refines its estimate based on the facts and circumstances by each tax jurisdiction.  The following table summarizes income tax expense on income from continuing operations and the effective tax rate for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2012 and 2011

Income tax expense for the six-month period ended June 30, 2012 was primarily due to state taxes. The income tax benefit for the six-month period ended June 30, 2011 was primarily due to the release of reserves related to uncertain tax positions that were reversed in connection with the closing of the Company's IRS examination for the 2003, 2004 and 2008 tax years, partially offset by state taxes and tax expense associated with the tax amortization of indefinite lived intangibles. 
11.    SEGMENT INFORMATION
The accounting policies of the segments are described in Note 1 of the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011 .  Corporate charges are allocated to each of the reporting segments on the basis of total salary expense. Corporate charges include corporate headquarters costs and certain depreciation expenses. Certain corporate capital expenditures have not been allocated from the Sales Services segment to the other reporting segments since it is impracticable to do so.

Please see Part I – Item 1A – “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011 , as well as other documents we file with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) from time-to-time, for other important factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from our current expectations as expressed in the forward-looking statements discussed in this Form 10-Q.  Because of these and other risks, uncertainties and assumptions, you should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. In addition, these statements speak only as of the date of the report in which they are set forth and, except as may be required by law, we undertake no obligation to revise or update publicly any forward-looking statements for any reason.
OVERVIEW
We are a leading provider of outsourced commercial services to established and emerging pharmaceutical, biotechnology and healthcare companies in the United States.  We are a leading provider of outsourced sales teams that target healthcare providers, offering a range of complementary sales support services designed to achieve our customers’ strategic and financial product objectives.  In addition to outsourced sales teams in the United States, we also provide other promotional services including clinical educator services, digital communications and teledetailing.  Combined, our services offer customers a range of both personal and non-personal promotional options for the commercialization of their products throughout their lifecycles, from development through maturity.  We provide innovative and flexible service offerings designed to drive our customers’ businesses forward and successfully respond to a continually changing market.  Our services provide a vital link between our customers and the medical community through the communication of product information to physicians and other healthcare professionals for use in the care of their patients. We provide these services through three reporting segments: Sales Services; Marketing Services; and Product Commercialization Services. These segments are described in detail under the caption Description of Reporting Segments below.
 
Our business depends in large part on demand from the pharmaceutical, biotechnology and healthcare industries for outsourced promotional services.  In recent years, this demand has been impacted by certain industry-wide factors affecting pharmaceutical, biotechnology and healthcare companies, including, among other things, pressures on pricing and access, successful challenges to intellectual property rights (including the introduction of competitive generic products), a strict regulatory environment, decreased pipeline productivity and a slow-down in the rate of approval of new products by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA).  Additionally, a number of pharmaceutical companies have made changes to their commercial models by reducing the internal number of sales representatives.  A significant portion of our revenue is derived from our sales force arrangements with large pharmaceutical companies, and we have therefore benefited from cost control measures implemented by these companies and their resultant increased reliance on outsourced promotional services.  However, we are also experiencing fluctuations in revenue due to certain clients renewing with a smaller salesforce and the expiration of certain other contracts due to the timing of new business and the variable nature of our business. We believe that we will continue to experience a high degree of customer concentration and this trend may continue as a result of the continuing consolidation within the pharmaceutical industry.
 
On December 29, 2011, we entered into an agreement to sell certain assets of our Pharmakon business unit to Informed in exchange for potential future royalty payments with a fair value of $0.4 million and a 1% ownership interest in Informed valued at $0.1 million. Net of the aforementioned consideration, we recorded a charge of approximately $7.5 million. See Note 12, Discontinued Operations, to the unaudited consolidated financial statements included in this Form 10-Q for additional details.

On August 1, 2011, we announced the formation of our new business unit, Interpace BioPharma. Interpace BioPharma provides pharmaceutical, biotechnology, medical device and diagnostics clients with full-service product commercialization solutions. These services include full supply chain management, operations, sales, marketing, compliance, and regulatory/medical management. This unit currently has one contract, the revenue and expenses of which are included in the Product Commercialization Services segment.

On March 3, 2011, we announced the launch of a new business unit within our Sales Services segment, EngageCE. EngageCE provides clinical educator services to our customers. The goal of clinical educators is to work with healthcare providers in the management of chronic diseases in order to optimize patient care and outcomes. We have seen a growing demand for these types of services within our customers and we believe that the clinical educator services provided via EngageCE will complement traditional sales force efforts and enhance our offerings. EngageCE operates autonomously from the other business units in the Sales Service segment.

On November 3, 2010, we acquired 100% of the membership interest in Group DCA, a privately held interactive digital communications company serving the pharmaceutical, biotechnology and healthcare industries. Based in Parsippany, New Jersey, Group DCA leverages the strength of the Internet, multimedia, tablet PCs, iPads, mobile devices, dimensional direct mail and its proprietary software, DIAGRAM , to deliver non-personal selling solutions via interactive communications exchanges that

17

PDI, Inc.

accommodate the schedules of healthcare providers. Group DCA’s proprietary software also yields meaningful response data that allows customers the opportunity to better understand the needs and opinions of their audiences and, in turn, the opportunity to market to their a udiences more effectively. With the combination of PDI’s traditional outsourced promotional services and Group DCA's online interactive engagements, HCP communications, Sales Rep digital selling tools, patient education, and other digital communications, w e expect to be even better positioned to offer customers increased insight and greater engagement, resulting in integrated information and more impactful messages being delivered to healthcare providers across multiple communication channels.
 
We paid cash (net) of approximately $23.9 million for Group DCA, of which $1.3 million was placed in escrow. The escrow amount of $1.3 million was paid out during the quarter ended June 30, 2012. The purchase agreement also provided for the former members of Group DCA to earn up to an additional $30.0 million from the date of acquisition through December 31, 2012.  These payouts were to be based on Group DCA’s achievement of revenue and gross profit metrics and ranged up to: $5.0 million in the period ended December 31, 2010; and $12.5 million in each of the years ending December 31, 2011 and 2012.  The metrics for payments related to the periods ended December 31, 2010 were not achieved. In November 2011, we announced the retirement of the Group DCA co-CEOs as of December 31, 2011 and announced that we amended the Group DCA purchase agreement to negotiate a buyout of the contingent earn-out fee. Under the amendment, we will pay $3.4 million to buyout the contingent earn-out fee under the purchase agreement in 2012, of which $1.5 million was paid during the quarter ended June 30, 2012. Pursuant to their respective retirement agreements, we will pay $0.3 million to each of the co-CEOs in 2013.

While we recognize that there is currently significant volatility in the markets in which we provide services, we believe there are opportunities for growth in our Sales Services, Marketing Services and Product Commercialization Services businesses. These businesses provide our customers with the flexibility to successfully respond to a constantly changing market and a means of controlling costs through promotional outsourcing partnerships.  In particular, we believe that the significant reduction in the number of pharmaceutical sales representatives within the industry during the past few years is placing increasing demands on our customers’ product portfolios and therefore we expect the market share penetration of outsourced sales organizations to increase in order to address these needs.  We have recently intensified our focus on strengthening all aspects of the core outsourced pharmaceutical sales teams business that we believe will most favorably position PDI as the leading outsourced promotional services organization in the United States. We believe our focus has led to the significant level of new business we experienced in 2011 and the level of signings announced to date in 2012. In addition, we continue to diligently evaluate the risks and rewards of opportunities within our PC Services segment as they arise, while enhancing future value-added service offerings, as well as continue to evaluate acquisitions that will enhance our current service offerings and provide new business opportunities.

Nature of Contracts by Segment
Sales Services
Contracts within our Sales Services reporting segment consist primarily of detailing agreements and are nearly all fee-for-service arrangements.  The term of these contracts is typically between one and two years. On occasion, certain contracts have

18

PDI, Inc.

terms that are modestly shorter or longer due to the seasonal nature of the products or at the request of the customer. All agreements, whether or not specifically provided for by terms within the contract, may be renewed or extended upon mutual agreement of the parties. Renewed or extended contracts may include revised terms for provisions such as pricing, penalties, incentives and performance metrics.
 
The majority of our Sales Services contracts are terminable by the customer without cause upon 30 days’ to 180 days’ prior written notice. Additionally, certain contracts include provisions mandating that such notice may not be provided prior to a pre-determined future date and also provide for termination payments if the customer terminates the agreement without cause.  Typically, however, the total compensation provided by minimum service periods (otherwise referred to as minimum purchase obligations) and termination payments within any individual agreement will not fully offset the revenue we would have earned from fully executing the contract or the costs we may incur as a result of its early termination. The loss or termination of multiple Sales Services contracts could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flow.
 
Our Sales Services contracts generally include standard mutual representations and warranties as well as mutual confidentiality and indemnification provisions, including product liability indemnification for our protection. Some of our contracts also include exclusivity provisions limiting our ability to promote competing products during the contract service period unless consent has been provided by the customer, and may also require the personnel we utilize to be dedicated exclusively to promoting the customer’s product for the term of the contract.
 
Some of our contracts, including contracts with significant customers of ours, may contain performance benchmarks requiring adherence to certain call plan metrics, such as a minimum amount of detailing activity to certain physician targets within a specified time period. Our failure to meet these benchmarks may result in specific financial penalties for us such as a reduction in our program management fee on our dedicated sales agreements, or a discount on the fee we are permitted to charge per detail on our shared sales agreements. Conversely, these same agreements generally include incentive payments that can be earned if our promotional activities generate results that meet or exceed agreed-upon performance targets, both related to call plan adherence as well as increases in the number of prescriptions written by physician targets.
 
All of our contracts provide for certain reimbursable out-of-pocket expenses such as travel, meals and entertainment or product sample distribution costs, for which we are reimbursed at cost by our customers. Certain contracts may also provide for reimbursement of other types of expenses depending upon the type of services we are providing to the customer.
Marketing Services
Our Marketing Services reporting segment is comprised of our Group DCA and Voice business units. Our Group DCA business unit enters into agreements and performs services with our major clients that typically have a term of one to three years.  These agreements may include standard representations and warranties, as well as confidentiality and indemnification obligations, and are generally terminable by the customer or us, without cause or prior written notice, for any reason.  If terminated, the customer is responsible for work completed to date, plus the cost of any nonrefundable commitments we made on their behalf. There is significant customer concentration within our Group DCA business unit.

Our Voice business unit enters into contracts and performs services with our clients that generally take the form of master service agreements and typically have a term of three months to one year. 
PC Services 
Our PC Services reporting segment currently consists of our Interpace BioPharma business unit. In August 2011, Interpace BioPharma announced its first contract, a two and one-half year fee-for-service arrangement with a pharmaceutical company. This contract includes standard representations and warranties, as well as mutual confidentiality and indemnification obligations for our protection, and is terminable by the customer without cause upon 180 days prior written notice after the first anniversary of the contract effective date. If the contract is terminated by the customer without cause, breakup fees apply. The total compensation provided by the breakup fee will not fully offset the revenue we would have earned from fully executing the contract or the costs we may incur as a result of its early termination. During the period ended June 30, 2012 , one customer accounted for all of the revenue in our PC Services segment.
 
This contract also includes exclusivity provisions limiting our ability to promote competing products during the contract service period unless consent has been provided by the customer, and may also require the personnel we utilize to be dedicated exclusively to promoting the customer’s product for the term of the contract. This contract also includes incentive payments that can be earned if our promotional activities generate results that meet or exceed agreed-upon performance targets.

In addition, this contract provides for certain reimbursable out-of-pocket expenses such as travel, meals and entertainment and product sample distribution costs, for which we are reimbursed at cost by our customer.

Results of Continuing Operations for the Quarter Ended June 30, 2012 Compared to the Quarter Ended June 30, 2011
Overview
We operate in three business segments: Sales Services; Marketing Services; and PC Services. While our quarter to quarter results can be impacted by the start or completion/termination of contracts we believe that long term trends in the pharmaceutical industry will result in a higher level of outsourcing of the types of services we provide.

PDI, Inc.

Operating loss
We had operating losses of $ 0.3 million and $ 1.1 million for the quarters ended June 30, 2012 and 2011 , respectively.  The decrease in operating loss was primarily due to a full quarter of operating income in our PC Services segment and improvement in our Group DCA business unit being offset by the lower level of business in our Sales Services segment.
Provision for income tax
We had income tax expense of approximately $ 0.1 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2012 , compared to an income tax benefit of $ 0.2 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2011 . Income tax expense for the quarters ended June 30, 2012 and June 30, 2011 was primarily due to state and local taxes as we and our subsidiaries file separate income tax returns in numerous state and local jurisdictions.

Cost of services in our Sales Services   segment for the six months ended June 30, 2012 decreased by $ 27.3 million, or 44.1% , to $ 34.5 million, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2011 . This decrease was directly attributable to the decrease in revenue discussed above.

PDI, Inc.

Cost of services in our Marketing Services   segment for the six months ended June 30, 2012 decreased by $ 1.0 million, or 22.6% , to $ 3.6 million, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2011 . The decrease was attributable to our emphasis on cost savings initiatives as we right-sized the structure of our Group DCA business unit throughout 2011 and during the first six months of 2012.
Cost of services in our PC Services   segment for the six months ended June 30, 2012 was $ 7.4 million and is related to our fee for service arrangement in our Interpace BioPharma business unit. Cost of services in the PC Services segment of $ 0.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011 reflects the start-up of our product commercialization activities during that period.

Consolidated gross profit for the six months ended June 30, 2012 decreased by $ 2.2 million, or 13.4% , to $ 13.9 million, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2011 . The change in consolidated gross profit was primarily attributable to the increase in revenue in our Group DCA and Interpace BioPharma business units being more than offset by the decline in revenue within our Sales Services segment.
The gross profit percentage in our Sales Services segment for the six months ended June 30, 2012 increased to 20.6% , from 19.7% in the six months ended June 30, 2011 . The increase was primarily attributable to improved margins within our Dedicated Sales Team business unit on certain contracts and exceeding certain incentive targets on one of our larger programs.
The gross profit percentage in our Marketing Services segment for the six months ended June 30, 2012 increased to 38.7% , from 12.6% in the six months ended June 30, 2011 . This increase was primarily attributable to the increase in Group DCA revenue and Group DCA's realizing more normalized margins in six months ended June 30, 2012 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2011. The significant impact of acquisition accounting on Group DCA's deferred revenue, had a direct effect on the business unit's revenue, and therefore gross profit, in the six months ended June 30, 2011.
Gross profit in our PC Services segment for the six months ended June 30, 2012 was $ 2.7 million and is related to our fee for service arrangement in our Interpace BioPharma business unit. Gross profit of $ 0.3 million in the PC Services segment for the six months ended June 30, 2011 reflects the start-up of our product commercialization activities during that period.

Consolidated compensation expense for the six months ended June 30, 2012 decreased by $ 2.3 million, to $ 8.7 million, as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2011 . The decrease was primarily attributable to the decrease at Group DCA of $1.4 million from right-sizing the business throughout 2011 and decreases in corporate salary and bonus expense of $0.3 million and stock compensation costs of $0.2 million. As a percentage of consolidated revenue, consolidated compensation expense increased to 14.5% for the six months ended June 30, 2012 , from 13.2% for the six months ended June 30, 2011 , primarily due to the decrease in consolidated revenue.
Compensation expense in our Sales Services segment for the six months ended June 30, 2012 decreased by $ 1.4 million, to $ 6.6 million, as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2011 .  This decrease was primarily attributable to a decrease in allocated corporate costs, as well as a decrease in compensation expense of $0.3 million. As a percentage of segment revenue, compensation expense increased 4.7% , to 15.2% for the six months ended June 30, 2012 , from 10.5% for the six months ended June 30, 2011 , primarily due to the decrease in Sales Services segment revenue.

PDI, Inc.

Compensation expense in our Marketing Services segment for the six months ended June 30, 2012 decreased by $ 1.4 million, to $ 1.6 million, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2011 . This decrease was primarily due to the decrease from right-sizing the Group DCA business throughout 2011, including a decrease in executive compensation costs.   As a percentage of segment revenue, compensation expense decreased 28.2% , to 26.5% for the six months ended June 30, 2012 , from 54.7% for the six months ended June 30, 2011 . The decrease in segment compensation expense as a percent of segment revenue was a result of the increase in revenue at Group DCA, while Group DCA's compensation expense decreased from right-sizing the business.
Compensation expense in our PC Services   segment for the six months ended June 30, 2012 of $ 0.5 million is attributable to the allocation of corporate support costs. Compensation expense for the six months ended June 30, 2011 represents the allocated cost of corporate support activities during that period.

Consolidated other selling, general and administrative expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2012 decreased by $ 1.8 million, to $ 5.8 million, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2011 . The decrease was primarily driven by our continued focus on cost savings, in particular; a $1.2 million decrease in professional services (i.e. consulting, audit, legal services); and $0.4 million decrease in information technology costs. As a percentage of consolidated revenue, consolidated other selling, general and administrative expenses increased to 9.8% for the six months ended June 30, 2012 , from 9.1% in the six months ended June 30, 2011 , due to the decrease in consolidated revenue.
Other selling, general and administrative expenses in our Sales Services segment for the six months ended June 30, 2012 decreased by $ 1.9 million, to $ 3.5 million, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2011 , primarily due to the decrease in allocated professional services and information technology costs mentioned above. As a percentage of segment revenue, other selling, general and administrative expenses increased 1% , to 8.0% for the six months ended June 30, 2012 , from 7.0% in the six months ended June 30, 2011 . This increase was attributable to the decrease in revenue during the six months ended June 30, 2012 , as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2011 .
Other selling, general and administrative expenses in our Marketing Services segment for the six months ended June 30, 2012 decreased by $ 0.3 million compared to the six months ended June 30, 2011 , primarily due to a decrease in information technology expenses at Group DCA. Other selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenue   decreased 8.6% , to 32.9% for the six months ended June 30, 2012 , from 41.5% in the six months ended June 30, 2011 due to Group DCA's increase in revenue.
Other selling, general and administrative expense in our PC Services   segment for the six months ended June 30, 2012 of $ 0.4 million is attributable to the allocation of corporate support activities. Other selling, general and administrative expense for the six months ended June 30, 2011 represents the allocated costs of corporate support activities during that period.
Operating loss
We had operating losses of $ 0.5 million and $ 2.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011 , respectively.  The decrease in operating loss was primarily due to the operating income of our PC Services segment and improvement in our Group DCA business unit being more than offset by the lower level of business in our Sales Services segment.
Provision for income tax
We had income tax expense of approximately $ 0.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012 , compared to an income tax benefit of $ 0.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011 . Income tax expense for the six months ended June 30, 2012 was primarily due to state and local taxes as we and our subsidiaries file separate income tax returns in numerous state and local jurisdictions. The income tax benefit for the six months ended June 30, 2011 was primarily due to the release of reserves related to uncertain tax positions that were reversed in connection with the closing of the Company's IRS examination for the 2003, 2004 and 2008 tax years, partially offset by state taxes and tax expense associated with the tax amortization of indefinite lived intangibles.

PDI, Inc.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
As of June 30, 2012 , we had cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments of approximately $ 57.0 million and working capital of $ 34.5 million , compared to cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments of approximately $ 64.5 million and working capital of approximately $ 34.3 million at December 31, 2011 .  As of June 30, 2012 , we had no commercial debt.
For the six-month period ended June 30, 2012 , net cash used in operating activities was $ 6.8 million, compared to $ 1.6 million of net cash provided by operating activities for the six-month period ended June 30, 2011 .  The main components of cash used in operating activities during the six-month period ended June 30, 2012 were a decrease in accrued expenses of $5.1 million as well as a decrease in accrued salaries and bonus of $2.6 million. The decrease in accrued expenses was primarily driven by payments of severance and close-out costs associated with the sale of our Pharmakon business unit in December 2011, the right-sizing of the Group DCA business unit and a scheduled $1.5 million payment to buyout the contingent earn-out fee under the Group DCA purchase agreement. Partially offsetting these uses of cash were a $1.0 million decrease in other long-term assets and a decrease in accounts receivable of $0.7 million. Accounts receivable would have decreased further had it not been for a delay in the timing of the receipt of certain trade receivables as of June 30, 2012. The main components of cash provided by operating activities during the six-month period ended June 30, 2011 were the decrease in accounts receivable and unbilled receivables of $6.3 million and $1.4 million, respectively, and an increase in unearned contract revenue of $1.8 million, partially offset by a decrease in other accrued expenses of $6.9 million and long-term liabilities of $2.2 million.
As of June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011 , we had $2.2 million and $ 2.6 million of unbilled costs and accrued profits on contracts in progress, respectively.  When services are performed in advance of billing, the value of such services is recorded as unbilled costs and accrued profits on contracts in progress.  Normally all unbilled costs and accrued profits are earned and billed within 12 months from the end of the respective period.  As of June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011 , we had $ 16.4 million and $ 15.9 million of unearned contract revenue, respectively.  When we bill clients for services before they have been completed, billed amounts are recorded as unearned contract revenue and are recorded as income when earned.
For the six-month period ended June 30, 2012 , we had net cash used in investing activities of $0.4 million compared to $ 0.1 million of cash used in investing activities during the six-month period ended June 30, 2011 . All capital expenditures were funded out of available cash.  For the six-month periods ended June 30, 2012 and June 30, 2011 , net cash used in financing activities consisted of shares of our stock that were delivered to us and included in treasury stock for the payment of taxes resulting from the vesting of restricted stock.
Our revenue and profitability depend to a great extent on our relationships with a limited number of large pharmaceutical companies.  For the six-month period ended June 30, 2012 , we had four customers that accounted for approximately 29.5%, 17.0%, 15.5% and 14.6% of our service revenue.  We are likely to continue to experience a high degree of customer concentration, particularly if there is further consolidation within the pharmaceutical industry.  The loss or significant reduction of business from any of our significant customers, or a decrease in demand for our services, could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.  In addition, our Shared Sales business unit's services to our second largest customer are seasonal in nature, occurring primarily in the winter season.
Under the terms of our current 2½ year Product Commercialization segment contract signed in mid 2011, our customer, which accounted for 17% of consolidated revenue for the six month period ended June 30, 2012, has the right to internalize various activities at different times over the life of the contract. Due to the success of the program to date and to allow our customer to begin their long-term plan of building their own capabilities in the United States, this customer recently advised us that they wish to internalize selected commercialization activities as of October 1, 2012 and at the same time, extend other activities 6 months past the current December 31, 2013 contract expiration date to June 30, 2014. We anticipate that a modified and extended contract will be executed by October 1 resulting in an estimated net overall reduction to the current $55 million contract of approximately 10% to 15%.
Future Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our primary sources of liquidity are cash generated from our operations and available cash and cash equivalents.  These sources of liquidity are needed to fund our working capital requirements, contractual obligations and estimated capital expenditures of approximately $2.0 million in 2012.  We expect our working capital requirements to increase as a result of new customer contracts generally providing for longer than historical payment terms.
 
We believe that our existing cash balances and expected cash flows generated from operations will be sufficient to meet our operating requirements beyond the next 12 months. However, we may require alternative forms of financing to achieve our longer-term strategic plans.

Item 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
PDI is a smaller reporting company as defined by the disclosure requirements in Regulation S-K of the SEC and therefore not required to provide this information.

Item 4.  Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures
Our management, with the participation of our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rule 13a-15 under the Exchange Act as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. In addition, management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the benefits of possible disclosure controls and procedures relative to their costs to implement and maintain.
Based on our evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are designed at a reasonable assurance level and are effective to provide reasonable assurance that information we are required to disclose in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Changes in internal controls
There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during the quarter covered by this report that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II.  OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1.  Legal Proceedings
We are currently a party to legal proceedings incidental to our business.  As required, we have accrued our estimate of the probable costs for the resolution of these claims. While management currently believes that the ultimate outcome of these proceedings, individually and in the aggregate, will not have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations, litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties.  Were we to settle a proceeding for a material amount or were an unfavorable ruling to occur, there exists the possibility of a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition or results of operations.  Legal fees are expensed as incurred. 
Item 1A. Risk Factors
There have been no material changes to the risk factors discussed in Part I, “Item 1A. Risk Factors,” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011 (Form 10-K). You should carefully consider the risks described in our Form 10-K, which could materially affect our business, financial condition or future results. The risks described in our Form 10-K are not the only risks we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, and/or results of operations. If any of the risks actually occur, our business, financial condition, and/or results of operations could be negatively affected.

Exhibit 18.1



August 14, 2012

PDI, Inc.
Morris Corporate Center 1, Building A
300 Interpace Parkway, Parsippany, NJ 07054
Ladies and Gentlemen:
As stated in Note 2 to the financial statements of PDI, Inc. for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, the Company changed its method of accounting for certain initial direct program costs from a method which expensed those costs as incurred to a method which recognizes initial direct program costs over the term of the contractual arrangement. Initial direct program costs are typically incurred at the onset of a contractual arrangement and are directly associated with the product detailing program outlined in the contract. Such costs include the recruiting and hiring and related employee setup costs for sales managers and professional staff directly responsible for executing a particular program. The newly adopted accounting principle is preferable in the circumstances as the nature and extent of contractual arrangements and the related volume of initial direct program costs incurred at the onset of those arrangements is expected to be material to future periods. It is more representative of the earnings process, resulting in the recognition of certain initial direct program costs over the period revenue is earned. At your request, we have reviewed and discussed with you the circumstances and the business judgment and planning that formulated your basis to make this change in accounting principle.
It should be understood that criteria have not been established by the Financial Accounting Standards Board for selecting from among the alternative accounting principles that exist in this area. Further, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants has not established the standards by which an auditor can evaluate the preferability of one accounting principle among a series of alternatives. However, for purposes of the Company's compliance with the requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission, we are furnishing this letter.
Based on our review and discussion, we concur with management's judgment that the newly adopted accounting principle described in Note 2 is preferable in the circumstances. In formulating this position, we are relying on management's business planning and judgment, which we do not find to be unreasonable. Because we have not audited any financial statements of PDI, Inc. as of any date or for any period, we express no opinion on the financial statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012.

Very truly yours,
BDO USA, LLP
