Item 1. | Business |
Overview
Computer Task Group, Incorporated (CTG, the Company or the Registrant) was incorporated in Buffalo, New York on March 11, 1966, and its corporate headquarters are located at 800 Delaware Avenue, Buffalo, New York 14209 (716-882-8000). CTG is an information technology (IT) solutions and staffing company with operations in North America and Europe. CTG employs approximately 3,400 people worldwide. During 2010, the Company had six operating subsidiaries: Computer Task Group of Canada, Inc., providing services in Canada; and Computer Task Group Belgium N.V., CTG ITS S.A., Computer Task Group IT Solutions, S.A., Computer Task Group Luxembourg PSF, and Computer Task Group (U.K.) Ltd., each primarily providing services in Europe. Services provided in North America are performed by CTG.
Services
The Company operates in one industry segment, providing IT services to its clients. These services include IT Solutions and IT Staffing. CTG provides these primary services to all of the markets that it serves. The services provided typically encompass the IT business solution life cycle, including
1
phases for planning, developing, implementing, managing, and ultimately maintaining the IT solution. A typical customer is an organization with large, complex information and data processing requirements. The Companys IT Solutions and IT Staffing services are as follows:
| IT Solutions: CTGs services in this area include helping clients assess their business needs and identifying the right IT solutions to meet these needs, the delivery of services that include the selection and implementation of packaged software and the design, development, testing, and integration of new systems, and the development and implementation of customized software and solutions designed to fit the needs of a specific client or vertical market. |
Generally, IT Solutions services include taking responsibility for the deliverables on a project and may include high-end consulting services. In 2010, CTG continued to invest in new IT Solutions development, primarily targeted to the healthcare market, and which support cost reductions and productivity improvements. In 2010, several healthcare solutions under development moved from the pilot stage of testing using live data into the sales process as completed tools. At December 31, 2010, the Company continues to modify and further develop certain of its other solutions. These solutions include medical care and disease management, group underwriting risk assessment, and medical fraud, waste, and abuse detection and reduction. The Company is developing proprietary software to support these offerings which expands the potential market for sale and support of these solutions. CTG expects to begin commercial marketing of its currently uncompleted solutions in 2011. These solutions support both the healthcare provider and payer markets.
Additionally, the Company continued providing services to assist in the start-up and development of Health Information Exchanges (HIEs). HIEs are consortiums of providers, payers, and government agencies at the local level that are charged with implementing secure communitywide electronic medical records. CTG also has significant experience in implementing electronic medical records (EMR) systems in integrated delivery networks and other provider organizations. CTGs experience in supporting EMR systems and the formation of HIEs favorably positions the Company as demand for these services is expected to remain strong in future years.
Independent software testing is a common practice in Western Europe and represents a significant portion of the solutions business of CTGs European operations. This comprehensive testing offering supports IT environments across multiple industries.
Also included in IT Solutions is Application Management Outsourcing (AMO). CTGs services in this area typically include support of single or multiple applications and help desk functions. Depending on client needs, AMO engagements are performed at client sites or CTG sites. In 2010, the healthcare market accounted for most of CTGs AMO business with a significant portion of this business involving transitional outsourced support. In a transitional outsourcing engagement, the client hires CTG to manage an application for an extended time period, typically ranging from one to three years, while its internal IT staff focuses on implementation of a new application replacing the application being phased out.
| IT Staffing: CTG recruits, retains, and manages IT talent for its clients, which are primarily large technology service providers and companies with multiple locations and significant need for high-volume external IT resources. The Company also supports larger companies and organizations that need to augment their own IT staff on a flexible basis. Our clients may require the services of our IT talent on a temporary or long-term basis. Our IT professionals generally work with the clients internal IT staff at client sites. Our recruiting organization works with customers to define their staffing requirements and develop competitive pricing to meet those requirements. |
The primary focus of the Companys staffing business is a managed services model that provides large clients with higher value support through cost-effective supply models
2
customized to client needs, resource management support, vendor management programs, and a highly automated recruiting process and system with global reach.
A trend affecting the staffing industry in recent years is that large users of external technology support are reducing their number of approved suppliers to fewer firms with a preference for those firms able to fulfill high volume requirements at competitive rates and to locate resources with specialized skills on a national level. CTGs staffing business model fits this profile and it has consistently remained a preferred provider with large technology services providers and users that have reduced their lists of approved IT staffing suppliers.
IT solutions and staffing revenue as a percentage of total revenue for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008 is as follows:
2010 | 2009 | 2008 | ||||||||||
IT solutions |
34 | % | 33 | % | 31 | % | ||||||
IT staffing |
66 | % | 67 | % | 69 | % | ||||||
Total |
100 | % | 100 | % | 100 | % | ||||||
In recent years, a major strategic focus of the Company has been to increase the amount of revenue from its IT solutions business, and the percentage of solutions revenue to total revenue, as operating margins generated by its solutions business are generally significantly higher than those of its staffing business. Overall, the Companys revenue increased $55.8 million or 20.3% from 2009 to 2010 due to an overall strengthening of demand for both the Companys IT solutions and IT staffing services. The higher margin solutions business increased $19.7 million or 21.5% from 2009 to 2010, while IT staffing services increased $36.1 million or 19.6% in the same period. The Companys operating margin in 2010 was 4.2%, which was the highest level since 1999. The Companys operating margin in 2009 was 3.6%.
Vertical Markets
The Company promotes a majority of its services through four vertical market focus areas: Technology Service Providers, Healthcare (which includes services provided to healthcare providers, health insurers (payers), and life sciences companies), Energy, and Financial Services. The remainder of CTGs revenue is derived from general markets.
CTGs revenue by vertical market for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008 is as follows:
2010 | 2009 | 2008 | ||||||||||
Technology service providers |
36 | % | 30 | % | 34 | % | ||||||
Healthcare |
27 | % | 27 | % | 28 | % | ||||||

General markets |
24 | % | 26 | % | 23 | % | ||||||
Total |
100 | % | 100 | % | 100 | % | ||||||
The Companys growth efforts are primarily focused on the healthcare market based on its leading position in serving the provider market, its expertise and experience serving all segments of this market (providers, payers and life sciences companies), higher demand for solutions offerings and support from healthcare companies, and the greater relative strength of this sector compared with other sectors of the U.S. economy. The Companys healthcare revenue increased $14.7 million or 19.8% from 2009
3
to 2010 due to an increase in demand for new healthcare related solutions projects, primarily those related to EMR projects. While revenue from the provider market was strong in 2010 due to the U.S. Federal government legislation that provides funding for EMRs and a general improvement in the credit markets, revenue from the payer market was consistent from 2009 to 2010, while revenue from the life sciences market decreased year-over-year as payers and life sciences companies in the U.S. continue to limit spending on discretionary IT projects due to the challenging economic environment. Accordingly, although revenue from the Companys targeted EMR market was strong in 2010, the other components of the Companys healthcare business did not have similar growth in 2010, which caused the overall percentage of revenue for the healthcare vertical market to decrease from 28% in 2008 to 27% in 2009, and remain consistent at 27% in 2010.
The Company experienced significant growth in the technology service providers vertical market during 2010 due to a strong demand for the Companys services. The Companys customers cut back significantly in 2009 due to the recession, and we believe the 2010 growth was much higher than normal due to customers efforts to backfill for those positions cut in 2009. Going forward, we do not expect the 2010 growth rates in the technology service provider market to be sustainable, but that the growth should exceed the US Gross Domestic Product rate, and be similar to that of the Companys compound annual growth rate in revenue from 2004 to 2008 of approximately 8-10%.
Over the last three years, the contribution of the financial services market to CTGs total revenue declined primarily as of result of greater use of offshore support and lower overall demand in this sector due to the global economic recession. In recent years, most of CTGs revenue in the financial services market was generated by its European operations. In 2010, approximately 10% of CTGs revenue from the financial services market was generated in the United States.
At December 31, 2010, CTG provided IT services to approximately 400 clients in North America and Europe. In North America, the Company operates in the United States and Canada, with greater than 99% of 2010 North American revenue generated in the United States. In Europe, the Company operates in Belgium, Luxembourg, and the United Kingdom. Of total 2010 consolidated revenue of $331.4 million, approximately 81.7% was generated in North America and 18.3% in Europe.
Pricing and Backlog
The Company recognizes revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, when the services have been rendered, when the price is determinable, and when collectibility of the amounts due is reasonably assured. For time-and-material contracts, revenue is recognized as hours are incurred and costs are expended. For contracts with periodic billing schedules, primarily monthly, revenue is recognized as services are rendered to the customer. Revenue for fixed-price contracts is recognized as per the proportional method of accounting using an input-based approach whereby salary and indirect labor costs incurred are measured and compared with the total estimate of costs at completion for a project. Revenue is recognized based upon the percentage-of-completion calculation of total incurred costs to total estimated costs. The Company infrequently works on fixed-price projects that include significant amounts of material or other non-labor related costs which could distort the percent complete within a percentage-of-completion calculation. The Companys estimate of the total labor costs it expects to incur over the term of the contract is based on the nature of the project and its past experience on similar projects, and includes management judgments and estimates which affect the amount of revenue recognized on fixed-price contracts in any accounting period.

The Companys revenue from contracts accounted for under time-and-material, progress billing, and percentage-of-completion methods for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008 is as follows:
2010 | 2009 | 2008 | ||||||||||

Total |
100 | % | 100 | % | 100 | % | ||||||
As of December 31, 2010 and 2009, the backlog for fixed-price and all managed-support contracts was approximately $22.8 million and $19.9 million, respectively. Approximately 86.4% or $19.7 million of the December 31, 2010 backlog is expected to be earned in 2011. Of the $19.9 million of backlog at December 31, 2009, approximately 85.4%, or $17.0 million was earned in 2010. Revenue is subject to seasonal variations, with a minor slowdown in months of high vacation and legal holidays (July, August, and December). Backlog does not tend to be seasonal; however, it does fluctuate based upon the timing of entry into long-term contracts.
Competition
The IT services market is highly competitive. The market is also highly fragmented with many providers with no single competitor maintaining clear market leadership. Competition varies by location, the type of service provided, and the customer to whom services are provided. The Companys competition comes from four major channels: large national or international vendors, including major accounting and consulting firms; hardware vendors and suppliers of packaged software systems; small local firms or individuals specializing in specific programming services or applications; and a customers internal data processing staff. CTG competes against all four of these channels for its share of the market. The Company believes that to compete successfully it is necessary to have a local geographic presence, offer appropriate IT solutions, provide skilled professional resources, and price its services competitively.
CTG has implemented a Global Management System, with the goal to achieve continuous, measured improvements in services and deliverables. As part of this program, CTG has developed specific methodologies for providing high value services that result in unique solutions and specified deliverables for its clients. The Company believes these methodologies will enhance its ability to compete. CTG initially achieved worldwide ISO 9001:1994 certification in June 2000. CTG received its worldwide ISO 9001:2000 certification in January 2003. The Company believes it is the only IT services company of its size to achieve worldwide certification.
Intellectual Property
The Company has registered its symbol and logo with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office and has taken steps to preserve its rights in other countries where it operates. CTG has entered into agreements with various software and hardware vendors from time to time in the normal course of business, and has capitalized certain costs under software development projects.
Employees
CTGs business depends on the Companys ability to attract and retain qualified professional staff to provide services to its customers. The Company has a structured recruiting organization that works with its clients to meet their requirements by recruiting and providing high quality, motivated staff. The
5
Company employs approximately 3,400 employees worldwide, with approximately 2,900 in the United States and Canada and 500 in Europe. Of these employees, approximately 3,100 are IT professionals and 300 are individuals who work in sales, recruiting, delivery, administrative and support positions. The Company believes that its relationship with its employees is good. No employees are covered by a collective bargaining agreement or are represented by a labor union. CTG is an equal opportunity employer.

Item 1A. | Risk Factors |
We operate in a dynamic and rapidly changing environment that involves numerous risks and uncertainties. The following section describes some, but not all, of the risks and uncertainties that could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and the market price of our common stock, and could cause our actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied in our forward-looking statements.
Decreases in demand for information technology (IT) solutions and staffing services in the future would cause an adverse effect on our revenue and operating results.
The Companys revenue and operating results are significantly affected by changes in demand for its services. During 2008 and 2009, the U.S. economy, where the Company performed approximately 80% of its total business based upon revenue, significantly deteriorated primarily due to subprime mortgage issues, financial market conditions, and other economic concerns. In 2009, these economic pressures also extended to the European markets where the Company operates. These negative pressures on the economy have led to a worldwide contraction of the credit markets, more severe recessionary conditions, and a decline in demand for the Companys services which negatively affected the Companys revenue and operating results in 2009 as compared with 2008. Economic pressures also led to customers reducing their spending on IT projects and external professional services. Economic conditions in 2010 stabilized in the U.S., but continued to be challenging in Europe. Declines in spending for IT services in 2011 or future years may additionally adversely affect our operating results in the future as they have in the past.
Our business depends on a large number of highly qualified professionals and our ability to recruit and retain these professionals.
We actively compete with many other IT service providers for qualified professional staff. The availability or lack thereof of qualified professional staff may affect our ability to provide services and meet the needs of our customers in the future. An inability to fulfill customer requirements at agreed upon rates due to a lack of available qualified staff may adversely impact our revenue and operating results in the future.
Increased competition and the bargaining power of our large customers may cause our billing rates to decline, which would have an adverse effect on our revenue and, if we are unable to control our personnel costs accordingly, on our margins and operating results.
We have experienced several reductions in the rates at which we bill some of our larger customers for services during previous highly competitive market conditions. Additionally, we actively compete against many other companies for business with new and existing clients. Bill rate reductions or competitive pressures, if we are unable to make commensurate reductions in our personnel costs, may lead to a decline in revenue or the rates we bill our customers for services, which may adversely affect our margins and operating results in the future.
The currency exchange, legislative, tax, regulatory and economic risks associated with international operations could have an adverse effect on our operating results if we are unable to mitigate or hedge these risks.
We have operations in the United States and Canada in North America, and in Belgium, Luxembourg, and the United Kingdom in Europe. Although our foreign operations conduct their business in their local currencies, these operations are subject to currency fluctuations. Each of our operations is subject to its own legislation, employment and tax law changes, and economic climates. These factors relating to our foreign operations are different than those of the United States. Although
9
we actively manage these foreign operations with local management teams, our overall operating results may be negatively affected by economic conditions, changes in foreign currency exchange rates or tax, regulatory or other economic changes beyond our control.
We derive a significant portion of our revenue from a single customer and a significant reduction in the amount of IT services requested by this customer would have an adverse effect on our revenue and operating results.
IBM is CTGs largest customer. CTG provides services to various IBM divisions in many locations. In 2010, 2009, and 2008, IBM accounted for $102.3 million or 30.9%, $71.2 million or 25.8%, and $108.3 million or 30.6% of the Companys consolidated revenue, respectively. No other customer accounted for more than 10% of the Companys revenue in 2010, 2009 or 2008. The Companys accounts receivable from IBM at December 31, 2010 and 2009 amounted to $13.1 million and $9.7 million, respectively. If IBM were to significantly reduce the amount of IT services we provide to them, our revenue and operating results would be adversely affected.
The IT services industry is highly competitive and fragmented, which means that our customers have a number of choices for providers of IT services and we may not be able to compete effectively.
The market for our services is highly competitive. The market is fragmented, and no company holds a dominant position. Consequently, our competition for client requirements and experienced personnel varies significantly by geographic area and by the type of service provided. Some of our competitors are larger and have greater technical, financial, and marketing resources and greater name recognition than we have in the markets we collectively serve. In addition, clients may elect to increase their internal IT systems resources to satisfy their custom software development and integration needs. Finally, our industry is being impacted by the growing use of lower-cost offshore delivery capabilities (primarily India and other parts of Asia). There can be no assurance that we will be able to continue to compete successfully with existing or future competitors or that future competition will not have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.
Changes in government regulations and laws affecting the IT services industry, including accounting principles and interpretations and the taxation of domestic and foreign operations, could adversely affect our results of operations.
Changing laws, regulations and standards relating to corporate governance and public disclosure, including the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, and new SEC regulations, are creating uncertainty for companies such as ours. These new or updated laws, regulations and standards are subject to varying interpretations which, in many instances, is due to their lack of specificity. As a result, the application of these new standards and regulations in practice may evolve over time as new guidance is provided by regulatory and governing bodies. This could result in continuing uncertainty regarding compliance matters and higher costs necessitated by ongoing revisions to disclosure and governance practices. We are committed to maintaining high standards of corporate governance and public disclosure. As a result, our efforts to comply with evolving laws, tax regulations and other standards have resulted in, and are likely to continue to result in, increased general and administrative expenses and a diversion of management time and attention from revenue-generating activities to compliance activities. In particular, our efforts to comply with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and the related regulations regarding our required assessment of our internal controls over financial reporting and our independent auditors audit of internal control have required the commitment of significant internal, financial and managerial resources.

The Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB), the SEC, and the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB) or other accounting rulemaking authorities may issue new accounting rules or standards that are different than those that we presently apply to our financial results. Such new accounting rules or standards could require significant changes from the way we currently report our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
U.S. generally accepted accounting principles have been the subject of frequent changes in interpretations. As a result of the enactment of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and the review of accounting policies by the SEC as well as by national and international accounting standards bodies, the frequency of future accounting policy changes may accelerate. Such future changes in financial accounting standards may have a significant effect on our reported results of operations, including results of transactions entered into before the effective date of the changes.
The Company does not currently offer healthcare coverage to its hourly employees, which includes approximately half of its total employees. Under recently issued legislation, the Company will be required to offer healthcare coverage to those employees, or pay penalties. The Company may not be able to pass these costs to its customers, which could significantly negatively impact the Companys operating results when the legislation goes into effect in 2014.
We are subject to income and other taxes in the United States (federal and state) and numerous foreign jurisdictions. Our provisions for income and other taxes and our tax liabilities in the future could be adversely affected by numerous factors including, but not limited to, income before taxes being lower than anticipated in countries with lower statutory tax rates and higher than anticipated in countries with higher statutory tax rates, changes in the valuation of deferred tax assets and liabilities, and changes in various federal, state and international tax laws, regulations, accounting principles or interpretations thereof, which could adversely impact our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows in future periods.
Our customer contracts generally have a short term or are terminable on short notice and a significant number of failures to renew contracts, early terminations or renegotiations of our existing customer contracts could adversely affect our results of operations.
Our clients typically retain us on a non-exclusive, engagement-by-engagement basis, rather than under exclusive long-term contracts. We performed approximately 91% of our services on a time-and-materials basis during 2010. As such, our customers generally have the right to terminate a contract with us upon written notice without the payment of any financial penalty. Client projects may involve multiple engagements or stages, and there is a risk that a client may choose not to retain us for additional stages of a project or that a client will cancel or delay additional planned engagements. These terminations, cancellations or delays could result from factors that are beyond our control and are unrelated to our work product or the progress of the project, but could be related to business or financial conditions of the client, changes in client strategies or the economy in general. When contracts are terminated, we lose the anticipated future revenue and we may not be able to eliminate the associated costs in a timely manner. Consequently, our operating results in subsequent periods may be lower than expected. Our clients can cancel or reduce the scope of their engagements with us on short notice. If they do so, we may be unable to reassign our professionals to new engagements without delay. The cancellation or reduction in scope of an engagement could, therefore, reduce the utilization rate of our professionals, which would have a negative impact on our business, financial condition, and results of operations. As a result of these and other factors, our past financial performance should not be relied on as a guarantee of similar or better future performance. Due to these factors, we believe that our results of operations may fluctuate from period to period in the future.
11
The introduction of new IT products or services may render our existing IT Solutions or IT Staffing offerings to be obsolete, which, if we are unable to keep pace with these corresponding changes, could have an adverse effect on our business.
Our success depends, in part, on our ability to implement and deliver IT Solutions or IT Staffing services that anticipate and keep pace with rapid and continuing changes in technology, industry standards and client preferences. We may not be successful in anticipating or responding to these developments on a timely basis, and our offerings may not be successful in the marketplace. Also, services, solutions and technologies developed by our competitors may make our solutions or staffing offerings uncompetitive or obsolete. Any one of these circumstances could have a material adverse effect on our ability to obtain and successfully complete client engagements.
Existing and potential customers may outsource or consider outsourcing their IT requirements to foreign countries in which we may not currently have operations, which could have an adverse effect on our ability to obtain new customers or retain existing customers.
In the past few years, more companies started using or are considering using low cost offshore outsourcing centers to perform technology-related work and complete projects. Currently, we have partnered with clients to perform services in Russia to mitigate and reduce this risk to our Company. However, the risk of additional increases in the future in the outsourcing of IT solutions overseas to countries where we do not have operations could have a material, negative impact on our future operations.
A significant portion of our total assets consists of goodwill, which is subject to a periodic impairment analysis and a significant impairment determination in any future period could have an adverse effect on our results of operations even without a significant loss of revenue or increase in cash expenses attributable to such period.
We have goodwill totaling approximately $35.7 million at December 31, 2010 resulting from our acquisition of Elumen Solutions, Inc. (Elumen) in early 1999. Elumen provided IT services to healthcare and related companies, and was merged with the Companys existing staff which also served the healthcare industry. At least annually, we evaluate this goodwill for impairment based on the fair value of the business operations to which this goodwill relates. This estimated fair value could change if there is a significant decrease in the enterprise value of CTG, if we are unable to achieve operating results at the levels that have been forecasted, the market valuation of such companies decreases based on transactions involving similar companies which could occur given the recent economic downturn in the countries in which the Company operates, or there is a permanent, negative change in the market demand for the services offered by this business unit. These changes could result in an impairment of the existing goodwill balance that could require a material non-cash charge which would have an adverse impact on our results of operations.
Changing economic conditions and the affect of such changes on accounting estimates could have a material impact on our results of operations.
The Company has also made a number of estimates and assumptions relating to the reporting of its assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities to prepare its consolidated financial statements pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC and other accounting rulemaking authorities. Such estimates primarily relate to the valuation of goodwill, the valuation of stock options for recording equity-based compensation expense, allowances for doubtful accounts receivable, investment valuation, legal matters, other contingencies and estimates of progress toward completion and direct profit or loss on contracts, as applicable. As future events and their effects can not be determined with precision, actual results could differ from these estimates. Changes in the economic climates in which the Company operates may affect these estimates and will be reflected in the Companys financial statements in the event they occur. Such changes could result in a material impact on the Companys results of operations.

Item 2. | Properties |
The Company owns and occupies its headquarters building at 800 Delaware Avenue, and an office building at 700 Delaware Avenue, both located in Buffalo, New York, operated by CTG of Buffalo, a subsidiary of the Company which is part of the Companys North American operations. The corporate headquarters consists of approximately 40,000 square feet and is occupied by corporate administrative operations. The office building consists of approximately 39,000 square feet and is also occupied by corporate administrative operations. At December 31, 2010, these properties were not mortgaged as part of the Companys existing revolving credit agreement.
The remainder of the Companys locations are leased facilities. Most of these facilities serve as sales and support offices and their size varies, generally in the range from 250 to 10,150 square feet, with the number of people employed at each office. The Companys lease terms generally vary from periods of less than a year to five years and typically have flexible renewal options. The Company believes that its presently owned and leased facilities are adequate to support its current and anticipated future needs.
Item 3. | Legal Proceedings |
The Company and its subsidiaries are involved from time to time in various legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. Although the outcome of lawsuits or other proceedings involving the Company and its subsidiaries cannot be predicted with certainty and the amount of any liability that could arise with respect to such lawsuits or other proceedings cannot be predicted accurately, management does not expect these matters, if any, to have a material adverse effect on the financial position, results of operations, or cash flows of the Company.

(1) | During 2007, the Company received two unsolicited merger proposals from RCM Technologies, Inc. After consideration of the proposals, the Companys Board of Directors unanimously determined that the proposals were inadequate and did not reflect the value inherent in CTGs business and the Companys potential growth opportunities. In 2008 and 2007, included in operating income, the Company recorded $0.2 million and $0.7 million, respectively, related to advisory fees incurred in conjunction with its consideration of the two unsolicited merger proposals. |

Item 7. | Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation |
Forward-Looking Statements
This managements discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations contains forward-looking statements by management and Computer Task Group, Incorporated (CTG, the Company or the Registrant) that are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties. These forward-looking statements are based on information as of the date of this report. The Company assumes no obligation to update these statements based on information from and after the date of this report. Generally, forward-looking statements include words or phrases such as anticipates, believes, estimates, expects, intends, plans, projects, could, may, might, should, will and words and phrases of similar impact. The forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding future operations, industry trends or conditions and the business environment, and statements regarding future levels of, or trends in, revenue, operating expenses, capital expenditures, and financing. The forward-looking statements are made pursuant to safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Numerous factors could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements, including the following: (i) industry and economic conditions, including fluctuations in demand for information technology (IT) services, (ii) the availability to CTG of qualified professional staff, (iii) domestic and foreign industry competition for customers and talent, (iv) rate and wage inflation or deflation, (v) risks associated with operating in foreign jurisdictions, (vi) the impact of current and future laws and government regulation, as well as repeal or modification of such, affecting the IT solutions and staffing industry, taxes and the Companys operations in particular, (vii) renegotiations, nullification, or breaches of contracts with customers, vendors, subcontractors or other parties, (viii) consolidation among the Companys competitors or customers, (ix) the partial or complete loss of the revenue the Company generates from IBM, (x) the need to supplement or change our IT services in response to new service offerings in the industry, and (xi) the risks described in Item 1A of this annual report on Form 10-K and from time to time in the Companys reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).
Industry Trends
The market demand for the Companys services is heavily dependent on IT spending by major corporations, organizations and government entities in the markets and regions that we serve. The pace of technology advances and changes in business requirements and practices of our clients all have a significant impact on the demand for the services that we provide. Competition for new engagements and pricing pressure has been strong. Since August 2009, we have noticed an increase in demand for our services, primarily in the healthcare provider solution and general IT staffing businesses. Our headcount increased by more than 100 employees in each of the 2010 quarters, except the fourth quarter where the increase was approximately 70 employees. We added new electronic medical records (EMR) projects throughout 2010 ranging from two to three years in duration, and have a total of 13 significant EMR engagements in process as of December 31, 2010. We anticipate a continuation of the strong demand for our EMR healthcare solutions services in 2011.
17
We have two main services, which are providing IT solutions and IT staffing to our clients. With IT solutions, we generally take responsibility for the deliverables on a project and the services may include high-end consulting services. With IT staffing, we typically supply personnel to customers who then take their direction from the clients managers. IT solutions and IT staffing revenue as a percentage of total revenue for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008 is as follows:
2010 | 2009 | 2008 | ||||||||||

The Company promotes a majority of its services through four vertical market focus areas: Technology Service Providers, Healthcare (which includes services provided to healthcare providers, health insurers, and life sciences companies), Energy, and Financial Services. The remainder of CTGs revenue is derived from general markets. CTGs revenue by vertical market for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008 is as follows:

The IT services industry is extremely competitive and characterized by continuous changes in customer requirements and improvements in technologies. Our competition varies significantly by geographic region, as well as by the type of service provided. Many of our competitors are larger than CTG, and have greater financial, technical, sales and marketing resources. In addition, the Company frequently competes with a clients own internal IT staff. Our industry is being impacted by the growing use of lower-cost offshore delivery capabilities (primarily India and other parts of Asia). There can be no assurance that we will be able to continue to compete successfully with existing or future competitors or that future competition will not have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, when the services have been rendered, when the price is determinable, and when collectibility of the amounts due is reasonably assured. For time-and-material contracts, revenue is recognized as hours are incurred and costs are expended. For contracts with periodic billing schedules, primarily monthly, revenue is recognized as services are rendered to the customer. Revenue for fixed-price contracts is recognized as per the proportional method of accounting using an input-based approach whereby salary and indirect labor costs incurred are measured and compared with the total estimate of costs of such items at completion for a project. Revenue is recognized based upon the percentage-of-completion calculation of total incurred costs to total estimated costs. The Company infrequently works on fixed-price projects that include significant amounts of material or other non-labor related costs which could distort the percent completed within a percentage-of-completion calculation. The Companys estimate of the total labor costs it expects to incur over the term of the contract is based on the nature of the project and our past experience on similar projects, and includes management judgments and estimates which affect the amount of revenue recognized on fixed-price contracts in any accounting period.
18
During 2010, the Company entered into a series of contracts with a customer that provides for application customization and integration services, as well as post contract support (PCS) services, specifically utilizing one of several of the software tools the Company has internally developed. As the contracts are closely interrelated and dependent on each other, for accounting purposes the contracts are considered to be one arrangement. Additionally, as the project includes significant modification and customization services to transform the previously developed software tool into an expanded tool that will meet the customers requirements, the percentage-of-completion method of contract accounting is being utilized for the project.
As of the end of 2010, the customization and integration services for this project are not complete. The Company does not anticipate incurring a loss upon completion of this project. Utilizing current accounting guidelines, total revenue and costs recognized in the 2010 were $1.1 million, and the total contract value for this project is $1.5 million. After completion of the application customization and integration services portion of the project, which the Company anticipates will be in the first quarter of 2011, the remaining unrecognized portion of the contract value will be recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the PCS period of approximately 12 months.
The Companys revenue from contracts accounted for under time-and-material, progress billing, and percentage-of-completion methods for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008 is as follows:

2010 as compared with 2009
In 2010, the Company recorded revenue of $331.4 million, an increase of 20.3% as compared with revenue of $275.6 million recorded in 2009. Revenue from the Companys North American operations totaled $270.7 million in 2010, an increase of 27.2% when compared with revenue of $212.8 million in 2009. Revenue from the Companys European operations totaled $60.7 million in 2010, a decrease of 3.2% when compared with 2009 revenue of $62.8 million. The European revenue represented 18.3%
19
and 22.8% of 2010 and 2009 consolidated revenue, respectively. The Companys revenue includes reimbursable expenses billed to customers. These expenses totaled $9.1 million and $6.1 million in 2010 and 2009, respectively.
In North America, the significant revenue increase in 2010 as compared with 2009 is due to strengthening demand for both the Companys IT solutions and IT staffing services. IT solutions revenue increased 21.5% and IT staffing revenue increased 19.6% in 2010 as compared with 2009. The IT solutions revenue increase totaled $19.7 million and was driven by an increase in the Companys EMR work, but was partially offset by a reduction in demand from a large client in its energy vertical market. The Company expects demand for its EMR solutions services to remain very strong in 2011. The IT staffing revenue increase totaled $36.1 million as the Companys customers filled staffing requirements that had remained open from 2008 and 2009 due to the economic recession in the United States. The Company expects double digit growth in IT staffing demand in 2011, however, at a pace that is lower than that realized in 2010.
The decrease in year-over-year revenue in the Companys European operations was primarily due to weakness in both our subsidiaries IT staffing and IT solutions businesses due to a challenging European economy. Additionally, revenue decreased due to the weakness of the currencies of Belgium, Luxembourg, and the United Kingdom, the countries in which the Companys European subsidiaries operate. In Belgium and Luxembourg, the functional currency is the Euro, while in the United Kingdom the functional currency is the British Pound. In 2010 as compared with 2009, the average value of the Euro decreased 4.8%, while the average value of the British Pound decreased 1.3%. Had there been no change in these exchange rates from 2009 to 2010, total European revenue would have been approximately $2.9 million higher, or $63.6 million as compared with the $60.7 million reported.
IBM is CTGs largest customer. CTG provides services to various IBM divisions in many locations. During the second quarter of 2008, the Company and IBM agreed to extend the current National Technical Services (NTS Agreement) contract until July 1, 2011. The Company expects the NTS agreement to be renewed in 2011. As part of the NTS Agreement, the Company also provides its services as a predominant supplier to IBMs Integrated Technology Services unit and as the sole provider to the Systems and Technology Group business unit. These agreements accounted for approximately 96% of all of the services provided to IBM by the Company in 2010. In 2010, 2009, and 2008, IBM accounted for $102.3 million or 30.9%, $71.2 million or 25.8%, and $108.3 million or 30.6% of the Companys consolidated revenue, respectively. We expect to continue to derive a significant portion of our revenue from IBM in future years. However, a significant decline or the loss of the revenue from IBM would have a significant negative effect on our operating results. The Companys accounts receivable from IBM at December 31, 2010 and 2009 amounted to $13.1 million and $9.7 million, respectively. No other customer accounted for more than 10% of the Companys revenue in 2010, 2009 or 2008.
Direct costs, defined as costs for billable staff including billable out-of-pocket expenses, were 78.5% of consolidated revenue in 2010 and 77.5% of consolidated revenue in 2009. The increase in direct costs as a percentage of revenue in 2010 compared with 2009 is due to an increase in the lowest margin staffing business. Additionally, due to the application of current software revenue recognition accounting guidelines, the Company recorded approximately $1.1 million in revenue and costs with no profit during 2010 which modestly increased the percentage of direct costs to revenue.
Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses were 17.3% of revenue in 2010 as compared with 18.9% of revenue in 2009. The SG&A decrease as a percentage of revenue in 2010 as compared with 2009 is primarily due to disciplined cost management and the economies of scale, especially pertaining to fixed costs, associated with revenue growth experienced in 2010 compared to the revenue in 2009.
20
Operating income was 4.2% of revenue in 2010 as compared with 3.6% of revenue in 2009. Operating income from North American operations was $12.4 million and $8.4 million in 2010 and 2009, respectively, while European operations generated operating income of $1.5 million in both 2010 and 2009, respectively. Operating income in the Companys European operations was reduced by approximately $0.1 million due to the change in foreign currency exchange rates year-over-year.
Interest and other expense, net was 0.1 % of revenue in both 2010 and 2009. The Company recorded a net exchange loss on intercompany balances totaling less than $0.1 million and approximately $0.2 million in 2010 and 2009, respectively, resulting from balances settled during the year.
The Companys effective tax rate (ETR) is calculated based upon the full years operating results, and various tax related items. The Companys normal ETR ranges from 38% to 42%. The 2010 ETR was 39.2%, and the 2009 ETR was 38.7%.
Net income for 2010 was 2.5% of revenue or $0.52 per diluted share, compared with net income of 2.1% of revenue or $0.38 per diluted share in 2009. Diluted earnings per share were calculated using 16.1 million weighted-average equivalent shares outstanding in 2010 and 15.5 million in 2009. The increase in shares year-over-year is due to the dilutive effect of incremental shares outstanding under the Companys equity-based compensation plans. This increase was partially offset by purchases of approximately 0.4 million shares for treasury by the Company during 2010.
2009 as compared with 2008
In 2009, the Company recorded revenue of $275.6 million, a decrease of 22.0% as compared with revenue of $353.2 million recorded in 2008. Revenue from the Companys North American operations totaled $212.8 million in 2009, a decrease of 22.6% when compared with revenue of $275.0 million in 2008. Revenue from the Companys European operations totaled $62.8 million in 2009, a decrease of 19.8% when compared with 2008 revenue from European operations of $78.2 million. The European revenue represented 22.8% and 22.1% of 2009 and 2008 consolidated revenue, respectively. The Companys revenue includes reimbursable expenses billed to customers. These expenses totaled $6.1 million and $8.6 million in 2009 and 2008, respectively.
In North America, the significant revenue decrease in 2009 as compared with 2008 is due to the general weakness in IT spending associated with the current global recession. IT staffing revenue decreased 23.0% and IT solutions revenue decreased 20.0% in 2009 as compared with 2008. The IT solutions revenue decrease totaled $22.9 million and was primarily due to healthcare providers not having access to capital markets in the current economy which has limited their ability to finance new projects. Additionally, due to the poor economic conditions, customers reduced their discretionary spending on outside professional services.
During the 2008 fourth quarter, the Company was informed by a significant customer of a reduction in their need for approximately 250 of CTGs staff, or approximately $21 million of annual revenue. Ultimately, this customer reduced its need for the Companys personnel by an aggregate of 425 billable staff or approximately $36 million in annualized revenue, beginning in the 2008 fourth quarter. The reduction was not a result of CTGs performance, but rather a change in our clients business needs. These reductions coupled with a continued general weakness in 2009 in demand for our IT staffing services from our other customers resulted in our IT staffing business realizing approximately $54.7 million less revenue in 2009 as compared with 2008.
The decrease in year-over-year revenue in the Companys European operations was primarily due to weakness in our subsidiaries IT staffing business. Additionally, revenue decreased due to the weakness of the currencies of Belgium, the United Kingdom, Luxembourg and Germany, the countries in
21
which the Companys European subsidiaries operate. In Belgium, Luxembourg and Germany, the functional currency is the Euro, while in the United Kingdom the functional currency is the British Pound. In 2009 as compared with 2008, the average value of the Euro decreased 5.2%, while the average value of the British Pound decreased 15.6%. Had there been no change in these exchange rates from 2008 to 2009, total European revenue would have been approximately $4.4 million higher, or $67.2 million as compared with the $62.8 million reported.
IBM is CTGs largest customer. CTG provides services to various IBM divisions in many locations. During the second quarter of 2008, the Company and IBM agreed to extend the current National Technical Services (NTS Agreement) contract until July 1, 2011. As part of the NTS Agreement, the Company also provides its services as a predominant supplier to IBMs Integrated Technology Services unit and as the sole provider to the Systems and Technology Group business unit. These agreements accounted for approximately 95% of all of the services provided to IBM by the Company in 2009. In 2009, 2008, and 2007, IBM accounted for $71.2 million or 25.8%, $108.3 million or 30.6%, and $96.0 million or 29.5% of the Companys consolidated revenue, respectively. The Company continued to derive a significant portion of its revenue from IBM in 2010. However, a significant decline or the loss of the revenue from IBM in future years would have a significant negative effect on our operating results. The Companys accounts receivable from IBM at December 31, 2009 totaled $9.7 million. No other customer accounted for more than 10% of the Companys revenue in 2009, 2008 or 2007.
Direct costs, defined as costs for billable staff including billable out-of-pocket expenses, were 77.5% of consolidated revenue in 2009 and 77.7% of consolidated revenue in 2008. The decrease in direct costs as a percentage of revenue in 2009 compared to 2008 is due to an increase in the Companys IT solutions business in 2009, which in aggregate has lower direct costs and higher direct margins than the Companys IT staffing business. In 2009, the Companys IT solutions business represented 33% of total consolidated revenue, which was an increase of 1% year-over-year.
SG&A expenses were 18.9% of revenue in 2009 as compared with 18.6% of revenue in 2008. While the company has closely managed and reduced its SG&A expense as total revenue has decreased, SG&A expense as a percentage of revenue has increased year-over-year as the Company incurs certain fixed costs which cannot be rapidly reduced.
Operating income was 3.6% of revenue in 2009 as compared with 3.7% of revenue in 2008. The decrease in 2009 operating income as a percentage of revenue is due to the significant decrease in revenue year-over-year, offset by disciplined cost control. Operating income from North American operations was $8.4 million and $11.1 million in 2009 and 2008, respectively, while European operations generated operating income of $1.5 million and $2.0 million in 2009 and 2008, respectively. Operating income was not significantly affected by the change in foreign currency exchange rates year-over-year.
Interest and other income (expense), net was (0.1) % of revenue in 2009 and 0.1% in 2008. In 2009, the Company recorded expense of approximately $0.2 million to settle intercompany account balances between its subsidiaries with different functional currencies, while in 2008 the Company recorded gains totaling approximately $0.5 million for the settlement of intercompany account balances, and for those balances outstanding between its subsidiaries with different functional currencies at December 31, 2008.
The Companys ETR is calculated based upon the full years operating results, and various tax related items. The Companys normal ETR is approximately 38% to 42%. The 2009 ETR was 38.7%. The 2009 ETR was affected by an addition to the valuation allowance for net operating losses in foreign countries of approximately $0.2 million, offset by federal income tax credits of approximately
22
$0.2 million. The 2008 ETR was 41.2%. The 2008 ETR was affected by an addition to the valuation allowance for net operating losses in foreign countries of approximately $0.4 million, offset by a reduction in the Companys tax reserves of approximately $0.1 million and federal income tax credits of approximately $0.1 million.
Net income for 2009 was 2.1% of revenue or $0.38 per diluted share, compared with net income of 2.2% of revenue or $0.49 per diluted share in 2008. Diluted earnings per share were calculated using 15.5 million weighted-average equivalent shares outstanding in 2009 and 15.9 million 2008. The dilutive effect of incremental shares outstanding under the Companys equity-based compensation plans in 2009 was offset by purchases of shares for treasury by the Company during 2009.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
During 2009, a consensus was reached by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Emerging Issues Task force which updated the accounting guidance with respect to Multiple-Deliverable Revenue Arrangements. The intent of the update was to improve the reporting of multiple-deliverable arrangements to reflect the underlying transaction, primarily by establishing a hierarchy for determining the selling price of the deliverable. Prior to this guidance, if vendor-specific objective evidence (VSOE) of selling price was not available, revenue was often deferred until the last deliverable was delivered or performed. With this update, the selling price of a deliverable can be determined by other means even if VSOE does not exist, which should enable revenue to be recognized throughout a multiple-deliverable arrangement. The amendments in this update are effective for the Company for multiple-deliverable revenue arrangements entered into after December 31, 2010. The Company does not believe the adoption of this amendment will have a significant impact on its operating results, financial position, or cash flows.
Critical Accounting Policies
The preparation of financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires the Companys management to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. The Companys significant accounting policies are included in note 1 to the consolidated financial statements contained in this annual report on Form 10-K under Item 8, Financial Statements and Supplementary Data. These policies, along with the underlying assumptions and judgments made by the Companys management in their application, have a significant impact on the Companys consolidated financial statements. The Company identifies its most critical accounting policies as those that are the most pervasive and important to the portrayal of the Companys financial position and results of operations, and that require the most difficult, subjective and/or complex judgments by management regarding estimates about matters that are inherently uncertain. The Companys most critical accounting policies are those related to goodwill valuation and income taxes, specifically relating to deferred taxes and valuation allowances.
Goodwill Valuation
The Company has goodwill on its books which originated from the purchase in 1999 of a healthcare information technology provider. The goodwill balance of $35.7 million is evaluated annually as of the Companys October fiscal month-end, or more frequently if facts and circumstances indicate impairment may exist. These evaluations are based on estimates and assumptions that may be used to analyze the appraised value of similar transactions from which the goodwill arose, the appraised value of similar companies, or estimates of future discounted cash flows. The estimates and assumptions on which the Companys evaluations are based involve judgments and are based on currently available information, any of which could prove wrong or inaccurate when made, or become wrong or inaccurate as a result of subsequent events.
23
At the respective measurement dates for 2010, 2009, and 2008, with the assistance of an independent appraisal company, the Company completed its annual valuation of the business to which the Companys goodwill relates. The valuations indicated that the estimated fair value of the business was substantially in excess of the carrying value of the business in each period, with the minimum estimated fair value of the unit exceeding the carrying value by approximately 31% in 2010, and by at least 18% in each of the other periods presented. Additionally, there are no other facts or circumstances that arose at any point during 2010, 2009 or 2008 that led management to believe the goodwill balance was impaired.
Income TaxesValuation Allowances on Deferred Tax Assets
At December 31, 2010, the Company had a total of approximately $7.2 million of current and non-current deferred tax assets, net of deferred tax liabilities recorded on its consolidated balance sheet. The changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities from period to period are determined based upon the changes in differences between the basis of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the basis of assets and liabilities for tax purposes, as measured by the enacted tax rates when these differences are estimated to reverse. The Company has made certain assumptions regarding the timing of the reversal of these assets and liabilities, and whether taxable income in future periods will be sufficient to recognize all or a part of any gross deferred tax asset of the Company.
At December 31, 2010, the Company had deferred tax assets recorded resulting from net operating losses totaling approximately $2.8 million. The Company has analyzed each jurisdictions tax position, including forecasting potential taxable income in future periods and the expiration of the net operating loss carryforwards as applicable, and determined that it is unclear whether all of these deferred tax assets will be realized at any point in the future. Accordingly, at December 31, 2010, the Company had offset a portion of these assets with a valuation allowance totaling $2.6 million, resulting in a net deferred tax asset from net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $0.2 million.
The Companys deferred tax assets and their potential realizability are evaluated each quarter to determine if any changes should be made to the valuation allowance. Any change in the valuation allowance in the future could result in a change in the Companys ETR. A 1% change in the ETR in 2010 would have increased or decreased net income by approximately $140,000.
Other Estimates
The Company has also made a number of estimates and assumptions relating to the reporting of its assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities to prepare the consolidated financial statements pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC, the FASB, and other regulatory authorities. Such estimates primarily relate to the valuation of stock options for recording equity-based compensation expense, allowances for doubtful accounts receivable, investment valuation, legal matters, and estimates of progress toward completion and direct profit or loss on contracts, as applicable. As future events and their affects can not be determined with precision, actual results could differ from these estimates. Changes in the economic climates in which the Company operates may affect these estimates and will be reflected in the Companys financial statements in the event they occur.
Financial Condition and Liquidity
Cash provided by operating activities was $9.2 million, $3.9 million and $16.6 million in 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively. In 2010, net income was $8.4 million while other non-cash adjustments, primarily consisting of depreciation expense, equity-based compensation, deferred income taxes, and
24
deferred compensation totaled $2.6 million. In 2009 and 2008, net income was $5.9 million and $7.8 million, respectively, while the corresponding non-cash adjustments netted to $1.8 million and $3.8 million, respectively. Accounts receivable balances increased $13.2 million in 2010 as compared with 2009, decreased $3.8 million in 2009 as compared with 2008, and decreased $1.9 million in 2008 as compared with 2007. The increase in the accounts receivable balance in 2010 resulted from an increase in revenue in the 2010 fourth quarter of approximately 29% when compared with the 2009 fourth quarter. Days sales outstanding (DSO) at December 31, 2010 was 60 days, consistent with the prior year. The decline in the accounts receivable balance in 2009 resulted from a decrease in revenue in the 2009 fourth quarter of approximately 19% when compared with the 2008 fourth quarter, offset by an increase in DSO of three days to 60 days at December 31, 2009. The decrease in the accounts receivable balance in 2008 was primarily due to improvements in the timing of the collection of outstanding invoices which resulted in a decrease in DSO of one day to 57 days at December 31, 2008.
Other assets decreased approximately $1.3 million in 2010, increased approximately $1.2 million in 2009, and increased approximately $0.2 million in 2008. The decrease in 2010 and the increase in 2009 was due to the timing of the Companys borrowings against the net cash surrender value of insurance policies it owns. Accounts payable decreased $0.6 million in 2010, $1.5 million in 2009, and $0.8 million in 2008. The decrease in accounts payable in 2010 is primarily due to the timing of certain payments near year-end. The decrease in accounts payable in 2009 is primarily due to the decrease in company expenditures in 2009 as compared with 2008 due to the decrease in revenue, while the change in 2008 is also primarily due to the timing of certain payments near year-end. Accrued compensation increased $10.0 million in 2010 primarily due to a significant increase in headcount of greater than 500 employees year-over-year. Accrued compensation decreased $4.7 million in 2009 primarily due to lower headcount in 2009 as compared with 2008, as well as lower year-end incentive payments in 2009, whereas, accrued compensation increased $3.8 million in 2008 due to timing of the last pay date of the U.S. bi-weekly payroll in relation to year-end.
Investing activities used $2.0 million, $3.1 million and $3.3 million of cash in 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively, primarily due to additions to property, equipment and capitalized software of $2.0 million in 2010, $3.1 million in 2009 and $3.1 million in 2008. The Company has no significant commitments for the purchase of property or equipment at December 31, 2010, and does not expect the amount to be spent in 2011 on additions to property, equipment and capitalized software to significantly vary from the amount spent in 2010.
Financing activities used $2.1 million, $2.1 million and $5.3 million of cash in 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively. During 2010, 2009 and 2008, the Company used $3.0 million, $4.0 million and $5.7 million, respectively, to purchase approximately 0.4 million, 0.7 million and 1.1 million shares of its stock for treasury. During both February 2008 and 2009, the Companys Board of Directors authorized 1.0 million additional shares (2.0 million shares total) for future stock repurchases under this program. Approximately 0.2 million, 0.5 million and 0.3 million shares remain authorized for future purchases under the Companys share repurchase plan at December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively. At December 31, 2010, 2009, and 2008, the Company also experienced changes in its cash account overdrafts, which are primarily due to timing of cash payments at year-end, of $(0.3) million, $0.9 million, and $(0.7) million, respectively.
The Company did not have any borrowings outstanding under its revolving credit line at December 31, 2010, 2009 or 2008. The term of the revolving credit line was renewed during 2010 and now extends to April 2014. The revolving credit line totals $35.0 million and can be used for borrowings or letter of credit commitments (LOCs). LOCs at December 31, 2010, 2009, and 2008 totaled $0.4 million, $0.5 million, and $0.5 million, respectively. The Company borrows or repays the revolving credit line as needed based upon its working capital obligations, including the timing of the U.S.
25
bi-weekly payroll. The average outstanding balances under the Companys revolving credit line for 2010, 2009 and 2008 were approximately $1.3 million, $0.5 million and $3.8 million, respectively.
The Company is required to meet certain financial covenants in order to maintain borrowings under its revolving credit line, pay dividends, and make acquisitions. The covenants are measured quarterly, and at December 31, 2010 include a leverage ratio which must be no more than 2.75 to 1, a calculation of minimum tangible net worth which must be no less than $37.5 million, and total expenditures for property, equipment and capitalized software cannot exceed $5.0 million annually. The Company was in compliance with these covenants at December 31, 2010 as its leverage ratio was 0.0, its minimum tangible net worth was $43.3 million, and 2010 expenditures for property, equipment and capitalized software were $2.0 million. The Company was also in compliance with its required covenants at December 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008. When considering current market conditions and the Companys current operating results, the Company believes it will be able to meet its covenants, as applicable, in 2011 and future years.
The Company believes existing internally available funds, cash potentially generated from operations, and borrowings available under the Companys revolving line of credit totaling approximately $34.6 million at December 31, 2010, will be sufficient to meet foreseeable working capital, capital expenditure, and stock repurchases, and to allow for future internal growth and expansion.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
The Company did not have off-balance sheet arrangements or transactions in 2010, 2009 or 2008.
Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
The Companys primary market risk exposures consist of interest rate risk associated with variable rate borrowings and foreign currency exchange risk associated with the Companys European operations. See Item 7A, Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure about Market Risk in this report.
Contractual Obligations
The Company intends to satisfy its contractual obligations from operating cash flows, and, if necessary, from draws on its revolving credit line. A summary of the Companys contractual obligations at December 31, 2010 is as follows:

A | A $35 million revolving credit agreement (Agreement) that expires in April 2014. The Company uses this Agreement to fund its working capital obligations as needed, primarily funding the U.S. bi-weekly payroll. There are no borrowings outstanding under the Agreement at December 31, |
26
2010. The Company does currently have one outstanding letter of credit under the Agreement totaling approximately $0.4 million that collateralizes an employee benefit program. |
B | The Company does not have any capital lease obligations outstanding at December 31, 2010. |
C | Operating lease obligations relate to the rental of office space, office equipment, and automobiles leased in the Companys European operations. Total rental expense under operating leases in 2010, 2009, and 2008 was approximately $6.4 million, $7.1 million, and $8.1 million, respectively. |
D | The Companys purchase obligations in 2011 and 2012 total approximately $1.9 million, including $1.0 million for software maintenance, support and related fees, $0.2 million for computer-based training courses, $0.1 million for professional organization memberships, $0.2 million for recruiting services, and $0.4 million for telecommunications. |
E | The Company is committed for deferred compensation benefits in the U.S. under two plans. The Executive Supplemental Benefit Plan (ESBP) provides certain former key executives with deferred compensation benefits. The ESBP was amended as of November 30, 1994 to freeze benefits for participants at that time. Currently, 16 individuals are receiving benefits under this plan. The ESBP is deemed to be unfunded as the Company has not specifically identified Company assets to be used to discharge the deferred compensation benefit liabilities. |
The Company also has a non-qualified defined-contribution deferred compensation plan for certain key executives. Contributions to this plan in 2010 were $0.1 million. The Company anticipates making contributions totaling approximately $0.3 million in 2011 to this plan for amounts earned in 2010.
F | The Company retained a contributory defined-benefit plan for its previous employees located in The Netherlands when the Company disposed of its subsidiary, CTG Nederland B.V. This plan was curtailed on January 1, 2003 for additional contributions. As this plan is fully funded at December 31, 2010, the Company does not anticipate making additional payments to fund the plan in future years. |
G | The Company has other long-term liabilities including payments for a postretirement benefit plan for eight retired employees and their spouses, totaling 12 participants. |
Item 7A. | Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure about Market Risk |
The Companys primary market risk exposures consist of interest rate risk associated with variable rate borrowings and foreign currency exchange risk associated with the Companys European operations.
In December 2010, the Company entered into an amendment of its credit agreement which extended the expiration date of the agreement to April 2014. This credit agreement allows the Company to borrow up to $35.0 million. At both December 31, 2010 and 2009, there were no amounts outstanding under the credit agreement. However, at December 31, 2010 and 2009, there was $0.4 million and $0.5 million, respectively, outstanding under letters of credit under the credit agreement.
The maximum amounts outstanding under the Companys credit agreements during 2010, 2009, and 2008 were $7.8 million, $6.2 million, and $13.8 million, respectively. Average bank borrowings outstanding for the years 2010, 2009, and 2008 were $1.3 million, $0.5 million, and $3.8 million, respectively, and carried weighted-average interest rates of 2.1%, 2.2%, and 5.0%, respectively. Accordingly, during 2010, a one percent increase in the weighted-average interest rate would have cost the Company an additional $13,000. The Company incurred commitment fees totaling approximately $0.1 million in each of 2010, 2009 and 2008 relative to the agreements.
27
During 2010, revenue was affected by the year-over-year foreign currency exchange rate changes of Belgium, Luxembourg, and the United Kingdom, which are the countries in which the Companys European subsidiaries operate. In Belgium and Luxembourg, the functional currency is the Euro, while in the United Kingdom, the functional currency is the British Pound. Had there been no change in these exchange rates from 2009 to 2010, total European revenue would have been approximately $2.9 million higher in 2010, or $63.6 million as compared with the $60.7 million reported. Operating income in the Companys European operations was reduced by approximately $0.1 million due to the change in foreign currency exchange rates year-over-year.
The Company recorded a net exchange loss on intercompany balances totaling less than $0.1 million and approximately $0.2 million in 2010 and 2009, respectively, resulting from balances settled during the year. The Company has historically not used any market risk sensitive instruments to hedge its foreign currency exchange risk. The Company believes the market risk related to intercompany balances in future periods will not have a material effect on its results of operations.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
1. | Summary of Significant Accounting Policies |
Basis of Presentation and Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Computer Task Group, Incorporated, and its subsidiaries (the Company or CTG), located primarily in North America and Europe. There are no unconsolidated entities, or off-balance sheet arrangements. All inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated. When necessary, amounts in the prior periods consolidated financial statements are reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. Management of the Company has made a number of estimates and assumptions relating to the reporting of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities to prepare these consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Such estimates primarily relate to the valuation of goodwill, valuation allowances for deferred tax assets, actuarial assumptions including discount rates and expected rates of return, as applicable, for the Companys defined benefit and postretirement benefit plans, the allowance for doubtful accounts receivable, assumptions underlying stock option valuation, investment valuation, legal matters, other contingencies and estimates of progress toward completion and direct profit or loss on contracts. The current economic environment has increased the degree of uncertainty inherent in these estimates and assumptions. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
The Company operates in one industry segment, providing IT services to its clients. These services include IT Solutions and IT Staffing. CTG provides these primary services to all of the markets that it serves. The services provided typically encompass the IT business solution life cycle, including phases for planning, developing, implementing, managing, and ultimately maintaining the IT solution. A typical customer is an organization with large, complex information and data processing requirements. The Company promotes a significant portion of its services through four vertical market focus areas: Technology Service Providers, Healthcare (which includes services provided to healthcare providers, health insurers (payers), and life sciences companies), Energy, and Financial Services. The Company focuses on these four vertical areas as it believes that these areas are either higher growth markets than the general IT services market and the general economy, or are areas that provide greater potential for the Companys growth due to the size of the vertical market. The remainder of CTGs revenue is derived from general markets.
CTGs revenue by vertical market for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008 is as follows:

Revenue and Cost Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, when the services have been rendered, when the price is determinable, and when collectibility of the amounts due is reasonably assured. For time-and-material contracts, revenue is recognized as hours are incurred and costs are expended. For contracts with periodic billing schedules, primarily monthly, revenue is recognized as services are rendered to the customer. Revenue for fixed-price contracts is recognized as
35
per the proportional method of accounting using an input-based approach whereby salary and indirect labor costs incurred are measured and compared with the total estimate of costs of such items at completion for a project. Revenue is recognized based upon the percentage-of-completion calculation of total incurred costs to total estimated costs. The Company infrequently works on fixed-price projects that include significant amounts of material or other non-labor related costs which could distort the percent complete within a percentage-of-completion calculation. The Companys estimate of the total labor costs it expects to incur over the term of the contract is based on the nature of the project and our past experience on similar projects, and includes management judgments and estimates which affect the amount of revenue recognized on fixed-price contracts in any accounting period.
The Companys revenue from contracts accounted for under time-and-material, progress billing, and percentage-of-completion methods for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008 is as follows:
2010 | 2009 | 2008 | ||||||||||
Time-and-material |
91 | % | 91 | % | 90 | % | ||||||
Progress billing |
6 | % | 7 | % | 7 | % | ||||||
Percentage-of-completion |
3 | % | 2 | % | 3 | % | ||||||
Total |
100 | % | 100 | % | 100 | % | ||||||
The Company includes billable expenses in its accounts as both revenue and direct costs. These billable expenses totaled $9.1 million, $6.1 million, and $8.6 million in 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively.
Selling, general, and administrative costs are charged to expense as incurred.
Software Revenue Recognition
During 2010, the Company entered into a series of contracts with a customer that provides for application customization and integration services, as well as post contract support (PCS) services, specifically utilizing one of several of the software tools the Company has internally developed. As the contracts are closely interrelated and dependent on each other, for accounting purposes the contracts are considered to be one arrangement. Additionally, as the project includes significant modification and customization services to transform the previously developed software tool into an expanded tool that will meet the customers requirements, the percentage-of-completion method of contract accounting is being utilized for the project.
As of the end of 2010, the customization and integration services for this project are not complete. The Company does not anticipate incurring a loss upon completion of this project. Utilizing current accounting guidelines, total revenue and costs recognized in the 2010 were $1.1 million, and the total contract value for this project is $1.5 million. After completion of the application customization and integration services portion of the project, which the Company anticipates will be in the first quarter of 2011, the remaining unrecognized portion of the contract value will be recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the PCS period of approximately 12 months.
Taxes Collected from Customers
In instances where the Company collects taxes from its customers for remittance to governmental authorities, primarily in its European operations, revenue is not recorded as such taxes are recorded and presented on a net basis.
36
Fair Value
Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid for a liability in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability, in an orderly transaction between market participants. The Company utilizes a fair value hierarchy for its assets and liabilities, as applicable, based upon three levels of input, which are:
Level 1quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (observable)
Level 2inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in inactive markets, or other inputs that are observable or can be supported by observable market data for essentially the full term of the asset or liability (observable)
Level 3unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity, but are significant to determining the fair value of the asset or liability (unobservable)
At December 31, 2010 and 2009, the carrying amounts of the Companys cash of $14.8 million and $10.4 million, respectively, approximated fair value.
As of January 1, 2009, the Company was also allowed to elect an irrevocable option to measure, on a contract by contract basis, specific financial instruments and certain other items that are currently not being measured at fair value. The Company did not elect to apply the fair value provisions of this standard for any specific contracts during the years ended December 31, 2009 or 2010.
Cash and Cash Equivalents, and Cash Overdrafts
For purposes of the statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents are defined as cash on hand, demand deposits, and short-term, highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less. The Company had no cash equivalents at December 31, 2010 and 2009. Additionally, as the Company does not fund its bank accounts for the checks it has written until the checks are presented to the bank for payment, the change in cash overdraft, net represents the increase or decrease in outstanding checks year-over-year.
Trade Accounts Receivable
Trade accounts receivable balances are expected to be received on average 60 days from the date of invoice. Generally, the Company does not work on any projects where amounts due are expected to be received greater than one year from the date of the invoice. Accordingly, the recorded book value for the Companys accounts receivable equals fair value. Outstanding trade accounts receivable are generally considered past due when they remain unpaid after the contractual due date has past. An allowance for doubtful accounts receivable (allowance) is established using managements judgment. Specific identification of balances that are significantly past due and where customer payments have not been recently received are generally added to the allowance unless the Company has direct knowledge that the customer intends to make payment. Additionally, any balances that relate to a customer that has declared bankruptcy or ceased its business operations are added to the allowance at the amount not expected to be received.
Bad debt expense, net of recoveries, was approximately $(0.2) million, $0.2 million, and $0.1 million in 2010, 2009, and 2008, respectively.
Property and Equipment and Capitalized Software Costs
Property and equipment are generally stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method based on estimated useful lives of one year to
37
30 years, and begins after an asset has been put into service. Leasehold improvements are generally depreciated over the shorter of the term of the lease or the useful life of the improvement. The cost of property or equipment sold or otherwise disposed of, along with related accumulated depreciation, is eliminated from the accounts, and the resulting gain or loss, if any, is reflected in current earnings. Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense when incurred, while significant improvements to existing assets are capitalized.
As of December 31, 2010, the Company has capitalized a total of approximately $4.9 million for software projects either developed for internal use or developed to be sold, leased or otherwise marketed. Amortization expense for these projects totaled $0.3 million, $0.1 million, and $0.1 million in 2010, 2009, and 2008, respectively.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of
Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. When such circumstances exist, the recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets. Assets to be disposed of by sale are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell. The Company does not have any long-lived assets that are impaired or that it intends to dispose of at December 31, 2010.
Leases
The Company is obligated under a number of short and long-term operating leases primarily for the rental of office space, office equipment, and automobiles based in Europe. In instances where the Company has negotiated leases that contain rent holidays or escalation clauses, the expense for those leases is recognized monthly on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease.
Goodwill
The Company has goodwill on its books which originated from the purchase in 1999 of a healthcare information technology provider. The goodwill balance of $35.7 million is evaluated annually as of the Companys October fiscal month-end, or more frequently if facts and circumstances indicate impairment may exist. This evaluation, as applicable, is based on estimates and assumptions that may be used to analyze the appraised value of similar transactions from which the goodwill arose, the appraised value of similar companies, or estimates of future discounted cash flows. The estimates and assumptions on which the Companys evaluations are based involve judgments and are based on currently available information, any of which could prove wrong or inaccurate when made, or become wrong or inaccurate as a result of subsequent events.
At the respective measurement dates for 2010, 2009, and 2008, with the assistance of an independent appraisal company, the Company completed its annual valuation of the business to which the Companys goodwill relates. The valuations indicated that the estimated fair value of the business was substantially in excess of the carrying value of the business in each period, with the estimated fair value of the unit exceeding the carrying value by 31% in 2010, and at least 18% in each of the other periods presented. Additionally, there are no other facts or circumstances that arose during 2010, 2009 or 2008 that led management to believe the goodwill balance was impaired.
Income Taxes
The Company provides for deferred income taxes for the temporary differences between the financial reporting basis and the tax basis of the Companys assets and liabilities. In assessing the

realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers within each tax jurisdiction, whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Management considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income, and tax-planning strategies in making this assessment. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in tax expense.
Equity-Based Compensation
The Company records the fair value of equity-based compensation expense for all equity-based compensation awards granted subsequent to January 1, 2006, and for the unvested portion of previously granted awards outstanding as of that date. The calculated fair value cost of its equity-based compensation awards is recognized in the Companys income statement over the period in which an employee or director is required to provide the services for the award. Compensation cost is not recognized for employees or directors that do not render the requisite services. The Company recognized the expense for equity-based compensation in its 2010, 2009 and 2008 statements of income on a straight-line basis based upon awards that are ultimately expected to vest. See note 10, Equity-Based Compensation.

Foreign Currency
The functional currency of the Companys foreign subsidiaries is the applicable local currency. The translation of the applicable foreign currencies into U.S. dollars is performed for assets and liabilities using current exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date, for equity accounts using historical exchange rates, and for revenue and expense activity using the applicable months average exchange rates. The Company recorded gains (losses) totaling less than $0.1 million in 2010, approximately $(0.2) million in 2009, and $0.5 million in 2008 from foreign currency transactions for balances settled during the year.
Postretirement Benefit Obligations Resulting from Insurance Contracts
The Company records a liability for the cost of insurance related to the purchase of endorsement split-dollar life insurance arrangements for employees where the policy remains in place after the employees retirement. The Company calculated and recorded the present value of the postretirement benefit obligation as an adjustment to retained earnings as of January 1, 2008. This cumulative effect adjustment totaled approximately $82,000.

During the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, the Company recorded capitalized software costs of $1.0 million and $2.2 million, respectively, and as of such dates had capitalized a total of $4.9 million and $3.9 million, respectively, for software projects either developed for internal use or developed to be leased or otherwise marketed. During 2008, the Company began to amortize several of the smaller projects as they were complete. During 2010, the Company began to amortize several of the larger projects. Accumulated amortization for these projects totaled $0.5 million and $0.2 million as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.
3. | Investments |
The Companys investments consist of mutual funds which are part of the Computer Task Group, Incorporated Non-qualified Key Employee Deferred Compensation Plan. At both December 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, the Companys investment balances, which are classified as trading securities, totaled approximately $0.6 million and are measured at fair value. As there is an active trading market for these funds, fair value was determined using Level 1 inputs (see note 1 Summary of Significant Accounting PoliciesFair Value). Unrealized gains and losses on these securities are recorded in earnings and were nominal in 2010, 2009, and 2008.
4. | Debt |
The Company amended its revolving credit agreement (Agreement) in December 2010. The amended Agreement allows the Company to borrow up to $35.0 million, is unsecured, has a term of three years, and expires in April 2014. The Agreement has interest rates ranging from 0 to 50 basis points over the prime rate and 175 to 225 basis points over LIBOR. At December 31, 2010 and 2009, there were no amounts outstanding under this Agreement. However, there were $0.4 million and $0.5 million assigned to letters of credit under this Agreement at December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.
The maximum amounts outstanding under the Agreement during 2010, 2009, and 2008 were $7.8 million, $6.2 million, and $13.8 million, respectively. Average bank borrowings outstanding for the years 2010, 2009, and 2008 were $1.3 million, $0.5 million, and $3.8 million, respectively, and carried weighted-average interest rates of 2.1%, 2.2%, and 5.0%, respectively. The Company incurred commitment fees totaling approximately $0.1 million in each of 2010, 2009 and 2008 relative to the Agreement. Interest paid totaled less than $0.1 million in 2010 and 2009, and approximately $0.2 million in 2008.
The Company is required to meet certain financial covenants in order to maintain borrowings under the Agreement, pay dividends, and make acquisitions. The covenants are measured quarterly, and at December 31, 2010 include a leverage ratio which must be no more than 2.75 to 1, a calculation of minimum tangible net worth which must be no less than $37.5 million, and total expenditures for property, equipment and capitalized software cannot exceed $5.0 million annually. The Company was in compliance with these covenants at December 31, 2010 as its leverage ratio was 0.0, its minimum tangible net worth was $43.3 million, and 2010 expenditures for property, equipment and capitalized software were $2.0 million. The Company was also in compliance with its required covenants at December 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008.
In our European operations, the Company has a variety of guarantees in place supporting office leases and performance under government projects. These guarantees totaled approximately $1.0 million at December 31, 2010.

The Companys effective tax rate (ETR) is calculated based upon the full years operating results, and various tax related items. The Companys normal ETR ranges from 38% to 42%.
The expected relationship between foreign income before taxes and foreign provision (benefit) for income taxes differs from the actual relationship above as a result of certain foreign losses incurred for which no tax benefit has been recognized. Management has determined that it is unclear whether operations in those jurisdictions will produce taxable income in future years sufficient to realize the benefit of the losses in those jurisdictions. In addition, certain costs deducted for financial statement purposes are not deductible for tax purposes in certain foreign jurisdictions, such as certain employee benefit costs, resulting in a substantial increase to foreign taxable income.

The Companys deferred tax assets and liabilities at December 31, 2010 and 2009 consist of the following:

Net deferred tax assets |
$ | 7,192 | $ | 6,826 | ||||
At December 31, 2010 and 2009, as applicable, net non-current liabilities are recorded on the consolidated balance sheet in other long-term liabilities. In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers, within each taxing jurisdiction, whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Management considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income, and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. Factors that may affect the Companys ability to achieve sufficient forecasted taxable income in future periods may include, but are not limited to, the following: increased competition, a decline in sales or margins, a loss of market share, the availability of qualified professional staff, and a decrease in demand for IT services. Based upon the levels of historical taxable income and projections for future taxable income over the years in which the deferred tax assets are deductible, at December 31, 2010, management believes that it is more likely than not that the Company will realize the benefits, net of the established valuation allowance, of these deferred tax assets in the future.
For tax purposes, the Company has various U.S. state net operating loss carryforwards totaling approximately $3.9 million. These net operating losses have a carryforward period of 5 to 20 years and begin to expire in 2011. The Netherlands net operating loss carryforward of $8.2 million begins to expire in 2011, while in the United Kingdom the net operating loss carryforward is approximately $1.9 million, and has no expiration date.
At December 31, 2010, the Company has a deferred tax asset before the valuation allowance in the United States resulting from net operating losses in various states of approximately $0.2 million, in
43
The Netherlands of approximately $2.1 million and approximately $0.5 million in various other countries where it does business. Management of the Company has analyzed each jurisdictions tax position, including forecasting potential taxable income in future years, and the expiration of the net operating loss carryforwards as applicable, and determined that it is unclear whether all of the deferred tax asset totaling $2.8 million will be realized at any point in the future. Accordingly, at December 31, 2010, the Company has offset a portion of the asset with a valuation allowance totaling $2.6 million, resulting in a net deferred tax asset from net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $0.2 million. During 2010, the net increase in the valuation allowance was less than $0.1 million.
The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, and various states and foreign jurisdictions. With few exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal, state and local, or non-U.S. income tax examinations by tax authorities for years prior to 2006.

(57 | ) | ||
Balance at December 31, 2010 |
$ | 57 | ||
The balance at December 31, 2010 of $57,000 represents gross unrecognized tax benefits that if recognized would impact the Companys effective tax rate. No significant increase or decrease in the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits is expected within the next twelve months.
The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in tax expense. At December 31, 2010, the Company had approximately $1,000 (less the associated tax benefit) accrued for the payment of interest and penalties, as applicable.
The Company has established its unrecognized tax benefits based upon the anticipated outcome of tax positions taken for financial statement purposes compared with positions taken on the Companys tax returns. The Company records the benefit for unrecognized tax benefits only when it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination by the taxing authorities. The Company reviews its unrecognized tax benefits on a quarterly basis. Such reviews include consideration of factors such as the cause of the action, the degree of probability of an unfavorable outcome, the Companys ability to estimate the liability, and the timing of the liability and how it will impact the Companys other tax attributes. At December 31, 2010, the Company believes it has adequately provided for its tax-related liabilities.
Undistributed earnings of the Companys foreign subsidiaries were minimal at December 31, 2010, and are considered to be indefinitely reinvested. Accordingly, no provision for U.S. federal and state income taxes has been provided thereon. Upon distribution of these earnings in the form of dividends or otherwise, the Company would be subject to both U.S. income taxes (subject to an adjustment for foreign tax credits) and withholding taxes payable to the various foreign countries. In the event that the foreign entities earnings were distributed, it is estimated that U.S. federal and state income taxes, net of foreign credits, would be immaterial.
44
In 2010, 2009, and 2008, a total of 101,000, 175,000, and 140,000 shares of common stock, respectively, were issued through the exercise of non-qualified stock options or through the disqualifying disposition of incentive stock options. The tax benefit to the Company from these transactions, which was credited to capital in excess of par value rather than recognized as a reduction of income tax expense, was $156,000, $273,000, and $99,000 in 2010, 2009, and 2008, respectively. These tax benefits have also been recognized in the consolidated balance sheets as a reduction of income taxes payable.
Net income tax payments during 2010, 2009, and 2008 totaled $4.8 million, $3.5 million, and $4.3 million, respectively.
6. | Lease Commitments |
At December 31, 2010, the Company was obligated under a number of long-term operating leases some of which contain renewal options with escalation clauses commensurate to local market fluctuations, however, generally limiting the increase to no more than 5.0% of the existing lease payment.
Minimum future obligations under such leases are summarized as follows:

The operating lease obligations relate to the rental of office space, office equipment, and automobiles leased in Europe. Total rental expense under such operating leases for 2010, 2009, and 2008 was approximately $6.4 million, $7.1 million, and $8.1 million, respectively.
7. | Deferred Compensation Benefits |
The Company maintains a non-qualified defined-benefit Executive Supplemental Benefit Plan (ESBP) that provides certain former key executives with deferred compensation benefits, based on years of service and base compensation, payable during retirement. The plan was amended as of November 30, 1994, to freeze benefits for participants at that time.
Net periodic pension cost for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009, and 2008 for the ESBP is as follows:

Benefits paid are a function of a percentage of career average pay. This plan was curtailed for additional contributions in January 2003.

For the ESBP, the accumulated benefit obligation at December 31, 2010 and 2009 was $9.0 million and $8.8 million, respectively. The amounts included in other comprehensive loss relating to the pension loss adjustment in 2010 and 2009, net of tax, were approximately $0.2 million and $0.6 million, respectively. The discount rate used in 2010 was 4.73%, which is reflective of a series of bonds that
46
are included in the Moodys Aa long-term corporate bond yield whose cash flow approximates the payments to participants under the ESBP for the remainder of the plan. This rate was a decrease of 61 basis points from the rate used in the prior year and resulted in an increase in the plans liabilities of approximately $0.5 million. Benefits paid to participants are funded by the Company as needed, and are expected to total approximately $0.8 million in 2011. The plan is deemed unfunded as the Company has not specifically identified Company assets to be used to discharge the deferred compensation benefit liabilities. The Company has purchased insurance on the lives of certain plan participants in amounts considered sufficient to reimburse the Company for the costs associated with the plan for those participants. The Company does not anticipate making contributions to the plan other than for current year benefit payments as required in 2011 or future years.
For the NDBP, the accumulated benefit obligation was $6.6 million at both December 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively. The discount rate used in 2010 was 4.7%, which is reflective of a series of corporate bonds whose cash flow approximates the payments to participants under the NDBP for the remainder of the plan. This rate was a decrease of 30 basis points from the rate used in the prior year and resulted in a net increase in the plans liabilities of approximately $0.4 million.
The assets for the NDBP are held by Aegon, a financial services firm located in The Netherlands. The assets for the plan are included in a general portfolio of government bonds, a portion of which is allocated to the NDBP based upon the estimated pension liability associated with the plan. The fair market value of the plans assets equals the amount allocated to the NDBP in any given year. The fair value of the assets is determined using a Level 3 methodology (see note 1 Summary of Significant Accounting PoliciesFair Value). The calculation of fair value includes determining the present value of the future expected payments under the plan, including using assumptions such as expected market rates of return, equity and interest rate volatility, credit risk, correlations of market returns, and discount rates. In 2010 and 2009, the plan investments had a targeted minimum return to the Company of 4%, which is consistent with historical returns and the guaranteed 4% return guaranteed to the participants of the plan. The Company, in conjunction with Aegon, intends to maintain the current investment strategy of investing plan assets solely in government bonds in 2011. The Company does not anticipate making additional contributions to the plan in 2011 or future years, as the plan is currently fully funded.
Anticipated benefit payments for the ESBP and the NDBP expected to be paid in future years are as follows:

The Company also maintains a non-qualified defined-contribution deferred compensation plan for certain key executives. Company contributions to this plan, if any, are based on annually defined financial performance objectives. There were $0.1 million in contributions to the plan in 2010 for amounts earned in 2009, $0.3 million in contributions to the plan in 2009 for amounts earned in 2008, and $0.4 million in contributions to the plan in 2008 for amounts earned in 2007. The Company anticipates making contributions in 2011 totaling approximately $0.3 million to this plan for amounts earned in 2010. The investments in the plan are included in the total assets of the Company, and are discussed in note 3, Investments. During 2010, several participants in the plan exchanged a portion of their investments for stock units which represent shares of the Companys common stock. In exchange for the funds received, the Company issued shares out of treasury stock equivalent to the
48
number of share units received by the participants. These shares of common stock are not entitled to any voting rights and the holders will not receive dividends, if any are paid. The shares are being held by the Company, and will be released to the participants as prescribed by their payment elections under the plan.
During the 2010 second quarter, the Companys shareholders approved the Non-Employee Director Deferred Compensation Plan. Cash contributions were made to the plan during 2010 for the Companys six non-employee directors totaling approximately $0.1 million. At the time the contribution was made, the non-employee directors elected to exchange their cash contributions to the plan for the purchase of stock units which represent shares of the Companys common stock. In exchange for funds received, the Company issued stock out of treasury stock equivalent to the number of share units received by the participants. These shares of common stock are not entitled to any voting rights and the holders will not receive dividends if any are paid. The shares are being held by the Company, and will be released to the non-employee directors as prescribed by their payment election under the plan.

401(k) Profit-Sharing Retirement Plan
The Company maintains a contributory 401(k) profit-sharing retirement plan covering substantially all U.S. employees. At its discretion, the Company may match up to 50% of the first 6% of eligible wages contributed by the participants. During part of 2009, the Company reduced its match from 50% of the first 6% of eligible wages to 50% of the first 4% of eligible wages. Company contributions, which consist of cash and may include the Companys stock, were funded and charged to operations in the amounts of $2.2 million, $1.4 million, and $2.5 million for 2010, 2009, and 2008, respectively.
Other Retirement Plans
The Company maintains various other defined contribution retirement plans covering substantially all of the remaining European employees. Company contributions charged to operations were $0.1 million in both 2010 and 2009, and $0.2 million in 2008.
The Company provides limited healthcare and life insurance benefits to eight retired employees and their spouses, totaling 12 participants, pursuant to contractual agreements.

The discount rate used in 2010 to calculate the benefit obligation was 4.68%, which is reflective of a series of bonds that are included in the Moodys Aa long-term corporate bond yield whose cash flow approximates the payments to participants for the remainder of the plan. For December 31, 2009, the Company updated its methodology for determining the average cost of benefits provided to retirees from prior years which caused a decrease in accrued post retirement benefit obligation from 2008 to 2009. Benefits paid to participants are funded by the Company as needed.

The rate of increase in healthcare costs is assumed to be 6.1% for medical and 5.0% for dental and Medicare Part B from 2011 to 2014, declining to 6.0% for medical and 5.0% for both dental and Medicare Part B by the year 2015. Increasing the assumed healthcare cost trend rate by one percentage point would increase the accrued postretirement benefit obligation by $32,300 at December 31, 2010, and the net periodic postretirement benefit cost by $1,400 for the year. A one-percentage-point decrease in the healthcare cost trend would decrease the accrued postretirement benefit obligation by $29,900 at December 31, 2010, and the net periodic postretirement benefit cost by $1,300 for the year.

Employee Health Insurance
The Company provides various health insurance plans for its employees, including a self-insured plan for its employees in the U.S.
9. | Shareholders Equity |
Employee Stock Purchase Plan
Under the Companys First Employee Stock Purchase Plan (ESPP), employees may apply up to 10% of their compensation to purchase the Companys common stock. Shares are purchased at the closing market price on the business day preceding the date of purchase. As of December 31, 2010, approximately 51,000 shares remain unissued under the ESPP, of the total of 11.5 million shares that had been authorized under the Plan. During 2010, 2009, and 2008, approximately 22,000, 23,000, and 24,000 shares, respectively, were purchased under the ESPP at an average price of $7.98, $4.92, and $4.80 per share, respectively.
Stock Trusts
The Company maintains a Stock Employee Compensation Trust (SECT) to provide funding for existing employee stock plans and benefit programs. Shares of the Companys common stock are purchased by and released from the SECT by the trustee of the SECT at the request of the compensation committee of the Board of Directors. As of December 31, 2010, all shares remaining in the SECT were unallocated and, therefore, are not considered outstanding for purposes of calculating earnings per share.
SECT activity for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009, and 2008 is as follows:

The Company created an Omnibus Stock Trust (OST) to provide funding for various employee benefit programs. Previously, the OST purchased 59,000 shares of the Companys common stock for $1.0 million. Shares of the Companys common stock are released from the OST by the trustee at the request of the compensation committee of the Board of Directors. During 2010, 2009, and 2008, no shares were purchased or released by the OST.
Preferred Stock
At December 31, 2010 and 2009, the Company has 2,500,000 shares of par value $0.01 preferred stock authorized for issuance, but none outstanding.
10. | Equity-Based Compensation |
The Company issues stock options and restricted stock in exchange for employee and director services. In accordance with current accounting standards, the calculated cost of its equity-based compensation awards is recognized in the Companys consolidated statements of income over the period in which an employee or director is required to provide the services for the award. Compensation cost will
51
not be recognized for employees or directors that do not render the requisite services. The Company recognizes the expense for equity-based compensation in its consolidated income statements on a straight-line basis based upon awards that are ultimately expected to vest.
Equity-based compensation expense, tax benefit and net after tax cost for 2010, 2009 and 2008 are as follows:

On May 12, 2010, the shareholders approved the Companys 2010 Equity Award Plan (2010 Plan). Under the provisions of the 2010 Plan, stock options, restricted stock, stock appreciation rights, and other awards may be granted or awarded to employees and directors of the company, as well as non-employees. The compensation committee of the Board of Directors determines the nature, amount, pricing and vesting of the grants or awards. All options and awards remain in effect until the earliest of the expiration, exercise, or surrender date. A total of 900,000 shares may be granted or awarded under the 2010 plan, all of which are available for grant as of December 31, 2010.
On April 26, 2000, the shareholders approved the Companys 2000 Equity Award Plan (Equity Plan). Under the provisions of the Equity Plan, stock options, restricted stock, stock appreciation rights, and other awards may be granted or awarded to employees and directors of the Company. The compensation committee of the Board of Directors determines the nature, amount, pricing, and vesting of the grants or awards. All options and awards remain in effect until the earlier of the expiration, exercise, or surrender date. Options generally become exercisable in three or four equal annual installments, beginning one year from the date of grant, and expire no more than 15 years from the date of grant. In certain limited instances, options granted at fair market value are expected to vest nine and one-half years from the date of grant. There are no shares or options available for grant under this plan as of December 31, 2010.
On April 24, 1991, the shareholders approved the Companys 1991 Employee Stock Option Plan (1991 Plan). Under the provisions of the 1991 Plan, options may be granted to employees and directors of the Company. The exercise price for options granted under this plan is equal to or greater than the fair market value of the Companys common stock on the date the option is granted. Incentive stock options generally become exercisable in four annual installments of 25% of the shares covered by the grant, beginning one year from the date of grant, and expire six years after becoming exercisable. Nonqualified stock options generally become exercisable in either four or five annual installments of 25 or 20%, respectively, of the shares covered by the grant, beginning one year from the date of grant, and expire up to 15 years from the date of grant. All options remain in effect until the earlier of the expiration, exercise, or surrender date. There are no shares or options available for grant under this plan as of December 31, 2010.
Under the Companys 1991 Restricted Stock Plan, a total of 800,000 shares of restricted stock may be granted to certain key employees, and 538,750 shares are available for grant as of December 31, 2010.
The Company utilizes the Black-Scholes option-pricing model to estimate the fair value of stock options granted on the date of grant. The per-option weighted-average fair value on the date of grant of stock options granted in 2010, 2009, and 2008 was $3.09, $2.01, and $1.61, respectively.
52
The fair value of the options at the date of grant was estimated using the following weighted-average assumptions for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008:
2010 | 2009 | 2008 | ||||||||||
Expected life (years) |
3.1 | 3.4 | 3.3 | |||||||||
Dividend yield |
0.0 | % | 0.0 | % | 0.0 | % | ||||||
Risk-free interest rate |
1.5 | % | 1.8 | % | 3.2 | % | ||||||
Expected volatility |
65.3 | % | 58.4 | % | 42.0 | % |
The Company used historical volatility calculated using daily closing prices for its common stock over periods that match the expected term of the option granted to estimate the expected volatility for the grants made in 2008, 2009 and 2010. The risk-free interest rate assumption was based upon U.S. Treasury yields appropriate for the expected term of the Companys stock options based upon the date of grant. The expected term of the stock options granted was based upon the options expected vesting schedule and historical exercise patterns. The expected dividend yield was based upon the Companys recent history of paying dividends, and the expectation of paying dividends in the foreseeable future.
During 2008, 2009 and 2010, the Company issued restricted stock to certain employees and its independent directors. For the employees, the stock vests over a period of four years, with 25% of the stock issued vesting one year from the date of grant, and another 25% vesting each year thereafter until the stock is fully vested. The Company is recognizing compensation expense for these shares ratably over the expected term of the restricted stock, or four years. For the independent directors, the issued stock vests at retirement. As the directors are eligible for retirement from the Companys Board of Directors at any point, the Company recognized the expense associated with these shares on the date of grant. The shares of restricted stock issued are considered outstanding, and are eligible to receive dividends, if any are paid, and can be voted. However, only vested shares of outstanding restricted stock are included in the calculation of basic earnings per share.
As of December 31, 2010, total remaining stock-based compensation expense for non-vested equity-based compensation is approximately $2.0 million, which is expected to be recognized on a weighted-average basis over the next 16 months. Historically, the Company has issued shares out of treasury stock and its SECT to fulfill the share requirements from stock option exercises and restricted stock grants.

11. | Significant Customer |
International Business Machines Corporation (IBM) is the Companys largest customer. In 2010, 2009, and 2008, IBM accounted for $102.3 million or 30.9%, $71.2 million or 25.8%, and $108.3 million or 30.6% of the Companys consolidated revenue, respectively. The Companys accounts receivable from IBM at December 31, 2010 and 2009 amounted to $13.1 million and $9.7 million, respectively. No other customer accounted for more than 10% of revenue in 2010, 2009, or 2008.
12. | Contingencies |
The Company and its subsidiaries are involved from time to time in various legal proceedings and tax audits arising in the ordinary course of business. At December 31, 2010 and 2009, the Company is in discussion with various governmental agencies relative to tax matters, including income, sales and use, and property and franchise taxes. The outcome of these audits and legal proceedings, as applicable, involving the Company and its subsidiaries cannot be predicted with certainty, and the amount of any liability that could arise with respect to such audits cannot be accurately predicted. However, as none of these matters are individually or in the aggregate significant, and as management has recorded an estimate of its potential liability for these audits at December 31, 2010 and 2009, the Company does not expect the conclusion of these matters to have a material adverse effect on the financial position, results of operations, or cash flows of the Company.
13. | Enterprise-Wide Disclosures |
The Company operates in one industry segment, providing IT services to its clients. The services provided include strategic and flexible staffing and the planning, design, implementation, and maintenance of comprehensive IT solutions. All of the Companys revenue is generated from these services. CTGs reportable information is based on geographical areas. The accounting policies of the individual geographical areas are the same as those described in note 1, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies.

Item 9A. | Controls and Procedures |
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
The Companys management has evaluated, under the supervision and with the participation of the Companys Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, the effectiveness of the design and operations of the Companys disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act, as amended) as of the end of the period covered by this annual report. Based on that evaluation, the Companys Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that the Companys disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this annual report.
(a) | Managements Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting |
The Companys management is responsible for establishing and maintaining an adequate system of internal control over financial reporting. 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 (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (ii) 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 (iii) 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, a system of internal control over financial reporting can provide only reasonable assurance and may not prevent or detect misstatements. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation. Further, because of changes in conditions, effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting may deteriorate.
Management of the Company conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the Companys internal control over financial reporting based on the Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on that evaluation, the Companys management did not identify any control deficiencies it considered to be material weaknesses under the rules specified by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Boards Auditing Standard No. 5, and therefore concluded that its internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2010.
Our independent registered public accounting firm has issued an attestation report on the Companys effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting. Their report appears in Item 9A (b), Attestation Report of the Registered Public Accounting Firm.

(b) | Attestation Report of the Registered Public Accounting Firm |
Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
The Board of Directors and Shareholders
Computer Task Group, Incorporated:
We have audited Computer Task Group, Incorporateds internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2010, based on criteria established in Internal ControlIntegrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Computer Task Group, Incorporateds 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 Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting (Item 9A(a)). 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, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audit also included 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, Computer Task Group, Incorporated maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2010, based on criteria established in Internal ControlIntegrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.
We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheets of Computer Task Group, Incorporated as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, and the related consolidated statements of income, changes in shareholders equity, and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2010, and our report dated February 25, 2011 expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements.

(c) | Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting |
The Company continues to review, revise and improve the effectiveness of the Companys internal controls on a continuous basis. The Companys management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the Companys internal control over financial reporting as of the end of the period covered by this annual report. There were no changes in the Companys internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the period covered by this annual report, which ended on December 31, 2010, that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Companys internal control over financial reporting.
