Hallo Leute .
Die Aktie von Prg-schultz International Inc hat heute in einer NEWS-Meldung(28.11.05) die notwendige Zwischenfinanzierung bekanngegeben die Überlebenswichtig ist.
Aufgrund der Unsicherheit die vorher herschte ob man so eine Finanzierung bekommt ist die Aktie von ca. 3 Dollar mitte Oktober bis Freitag den 25.11 auf 0,31 Dollar gefallen.
Nun ist die die Finanzierung da und der kurs reagiert heute mit einer enormen Kurssteigerung.Der Kurs legt momentan auf 0,47 Dollar zu und das ist erst der Anfang.
Ich denke die Aktie ht durch den Abschluß der Zwichenfinanzierung noch weiteres kurspotential und zwar bis in die Region von ca. 2 Dollar.
Aber macht Euch euer eigens Bild.
Die Wkn in Deutschland ist 899994 und das dementsprechende USA-Kürzel lautet PRGX.
Also ich freue mich auf Kommentare.

PRG-Schultz Obtains Commitment for Bridge Financing; Company Reports Continued Progress in Financial Restructuring
PRG-Schultz International, Inc. (Nasdaq: PRGX), today announced that Parkcentral Global Hub, Blum Strategic Partners II, and certain of their affiliates have committed to supply $8 million of bridge financing, pending a restructuring of the company`s 4 3/4% convertible notes due November 26, 2006. The bridge financing, which will mature on the earlier of May 15, 2006 or the closing of such restructuring, will be used for general corporate purposes, including the payment of interest on the convertible notes prior to the end of the 30-day grace period that commenced on November 28, 2005. The bridge financing remains subject to several conditions, including completion of diligence and documentation.
"We are grateful for the continuing support of Parkcentral and Blum, and look forward to the support of our other major lenders as we work to improve our capital structure," said James B. McCurry, PRG-Schultz`s President and Chief Executive Officer. "The funds that would be made available under the bridge financing allow us to remain current on our public debt and provide additional working capital while we focus on completing our financial restructuring discussions."
As previously announced, an ad hoc committee of convertible note holders has been organized to negotiate the terms of a potential restructuring of the convertible notes. Negotiations are ongoing at this time, and the company anticipates reaching a mutually acceptable resolution with the ad hoc committee in the near future. Affiliates of Parkcentral and Blum are members of the ad hoc committee.

Na da sind sie ja die 0,50 Dollar.

Also nicht schnell überlegen und handeln oder nicht.
Das wird eine sehr gute Woche glaube ich.

IDENTIX hat den ersten Thread heute mittag aufgemacht.
Also nicht mein Tip.Ich habe nur noch einen Thread aufgemacht da ich gemerkt habe das den Thread von IDENTIX nicht ganz so viel Beachtung geschenkt wurde was sich als Fehler erwiesen hat.
Und ich glaube es war aber richtig noch einen Thread auf PRGX aufzumachen da anscheinend die Aktie nun mehr Aufmerksamlkeit bekommt und das zu Recht wie ich glaube.
Danke nochmal Identix.Durch deinen Thread habe ich den Einstieg zu 0,41 Dollar geschafft.
Viel Spaß noch allen Investierten

Hab mir auch mal 8000 stück gegönnt.
Schau mer mal!
Schau mer mal!
Noch sind wir in Deutschland 4 Cent unter Pari.
In den USA momentan 0,59 Dollar entspricht 0,50 Euro.
Na dann wollen wir mal schauen wo wir hier schließen und dann mal schauen wo die Reise in den USA noch hingeht.
Bei dem Kaufdruck und mir der Tatsache das wir erst Montag haben glaube ich an einen Schlußkurs der höher liegt als 0,65 Dollar.
Aber warten wir es mal ab.

Bin leider erst sehr spät auf die Aktie bzw. den Thread aufmerksam geworden.
Denkt Ihr das ist nur ein Kurzzeitiger Ausbruch, oder es geht weiter aufwärts?
Habe bisher noch nicht viele Infos über die Firma.

Wall Street News Alert: Hot Stock Alert Issued on TLYH! November 29, 2005
11/29/2005
NOTE TO EDITORS: The Following Is an Investment Opinion Being Issued
by Wall Street Capital Funding.
WESTON, FL, Nov 29, 2005 (MARKET WIRE via COMTEX) --
Wall Street News Alert`s "stocks to watch" this morning are: Tally-Ho Ventures Inc., (OTC BB: TLYH), PRG-Schultz International, Inc. (NASDAQ: PRGX), Microsoft Corp., (NASDAQ: MSFT) and Oracle (NASDAQ: ORCL).
Tally-Ho Ventures Inc., (OTC BB: TLYH) could be one of the targets of aggressive investors and day traders this morning! Yesterday after the stock markets closed, the company, an international wealth management firm, issued a press release announcing that it has entered into an agreement to acquire Protrust Private Clients S.A ("PTPC") for a maximum total consideration of $8 million.
The news of the acquisition agreement may get the attention of investors, as the company states that PTPC manages a total of $1.4 billion of investment assets for high net worth investors!
Continue to watch this company! Peter Smith, Chief Executive Officer of Tally-Ho Ventures, stated, "The core of our business plan is a continual pursuit of cutting-edge and professional vehicles for managing funds for our clients. The prospect of adding Protrust Private Clients to our portfolio of companies is a tremendous step towards that end. Completion of the acquisition would mean our funds under administration would be over $1billion and our funds under management would be over $1.4 billion." Commenting on the move into Switzerland, Peter Smith stated that, "Switzerland is still Europe`s number one banking center and holds the largest percentage of the world`s offshore funds. By acquiring PTPC we would be adding a very professional and experienced group of Swiss bankers and fund specialist to our team."
Investors should continue to monitor the progress of Tally-Ho Ventures! According to the company`s press release, the acquisition complements TLYH`s previous acquisitions of wealth management groups, Belgravia-Intervest and Master Finance Europe.
Under the terms of the letter of intent, the operations of PTPC are expected to become an operating subsidiary of Tally-Ho Ventures, with key members of the PTPC management team entering into long-term employment contracts. Completion of the transaction is subject to final negotiation of a share purchase agreement, completion of due diligence and satisfaction of customary conditions to closing.

Hallo Jungs.
Das macht Laune wie ich finde.
Aber macht Euch mal keine Sorge ob oder wie weit der Kurs Richtung Norden läuft.
Der Kaufdruck in den USA ist riesig und wird sicherlich vorerst nicht stoppen.
Aber zwischedurch eine kleine Erholung diese Woche würde dem Kurs ganz gut tun.Wenn nicht dann solls mir auch recht sein.
Auf den Dollar diese Woche.
Wünsche noch viel Spaß an steigenden Kursen.

Aufhalten wird die Aktie sowieso keiner.Nur glaube ich versuchen einige Große in den USA den Kurs vor einer Explosion zu bewaren ummnoch zu solch Kursen zum Zuge zu kommen.
Deswegen im Tagesverlauf auch die kleinen Rücksetzer aber der Anstieg setzt sich im Tagesverlauf trotzdem immer weieter fort.
Ach ja DANKE für die Realtimekurse die Du immer hier reinsetzt.

Bei dieser Aktie mußt Du von Tag zu Tag denken.Denn es kann hier trotz letzteren Kursanstieg an einem mal 100% rauf gehen.
Und im übrigen Gewinnmitnahmen werden kommen und das ist auch bestimmt notwendig.
Ich bleibe aber bei meinem Kursziel von 2 Dollar dieses Jahr noch.
Schaut mal nach woher die Aktie kommt.Und die Umsätze die die Firma macht sind auch nicht gerade klein.
Ich habe ein gutes Gefühl solange der Kaufdruck in den USA so groß ist wie momentan.
Also viel Spaß noch.

gibt es denn irgendwo vor- und nachbörsliche kurse, ähnlich wie das Lang+Schwarz macht?
Warte doch einfach ab bis morgen mittag und beobachte den vorbörslichen Kurs auf dieser Seite:
http://www.otcbb.com/asp/Info_Center.asp
Bei Symbol einfach PRGX eingeben und dann wird Dir die vorbörsliche Taxe angezeigt.
Aber erst ab ca. 14:45 Uhr ist sie einigermaßen richtungsweisend.
Morgen wird der Kurs in den neunzigern denke so ca. 0,94 Dollar eröffnen und dann relativ schnell über den Dollar gehen.
Aber warten wir es ab.

Nachbörslich schon wieder 0,88 zu 0,89 Dollar.
Schlußkurs war überigens 0,86 Dollar und die waren wieder im letzten Trade gedrückt von 0,87 Dollar.
Taxe unmittelbar nach Börsenschluß war 0,87 zu 0,88 Dollar.
Morgen geht es weiter UPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP!!!!!!!!

Die Amis sind auch sehr optimstisch.
buyhigh.net stuft die Aktie mit Strong buy ein für die nächsten 10 Tage.
PRGX should be heading into the $1 level, you need to load up this stock below 50 cents. This stock could be ok to hold for the next 10 days rally. good luck!

Hallo Leute.
Wichtig ist heute das der Kaufdruck in den USA nicht signifinkant nachläßt.
Aber wenn man sich durch die Ami-Boards ließt fällt auf das die Aktie jetzt erst richtig viel Aufmerksamkeit bekommt.Die letzten beiden Handelstage sind die Postings in den Boards stetig angestiegen.
Wenn die Aufmerksamkeit steigt gibt es immer wieder Leute die noch nicht investiert sind.Allerdings werden die Daytrader sicherlich auch immer mehr und warten nur auf große Tagesschwankungen die es bisher nicht gegeben hat da die Aktie im Tagesverlauf fast kontinuierlich angestiegen ist.
Also ich glaube weiterhin an einen Kurs oberhalb des Dollars diese Woche und es könnte heute schon so weit sein.
Also Leute GOOG LUCK.

Na da haben sich aber einige erschrocken wie ich sehe.
So wie ich denke war das gerade in den USA volle Absicht um auf niedrigem Nivau noch mal zwischendurch sich fett einzudecken.
Denkt dran wenn der Kurs längere Zeit auf der Stelle tritt setzten viele Anleger schnell Stopp-Loss Marken um sich abzusichern weil sie unsicher werden.
Das wurde ausgenutzt.
Aktueller Kurs in den USA RT: 1,04 Dollar
Handelsvolumen in den letzten 20 min. über 6 Millionen Aktien.Insgesamt fast 17 Millionen heute(bis jetzt).

Ich muss sagen, mir geht es blendend, auch wenn ich heute mal die Hälfte vertickt habe.
Denn die anderte rennt ja weiter - wenn denn gerannt wird. Habe auch schon oft erlebt, daß am 3. Tag erstmal die Puste ausgeht. Wenn dem nicht so ist - umso besser.

Aber nachdem einige Gewinnmitnahmen oder enge Stop Loss Orders ausgeführt sind, werden wir diese Woche auf alle Fälle bis zum Freitag über 1 € stehen.

Wenn ich mir die letzten Tage so anschaue dann muß ich sagen das sich unsere Aktie genial schlägt.
Letzten Freitag Schlußkurs in den USA bei 0,31 Dollar.
Gestriger Schlußkurs lag bei 0,91 Dollar.Also eine Steigerung von fast genau 200% in drei Tage.
Am vierten Tag eine KLEINE Konso von 5cents auf 0,86 Dollar bei nur 1/4 der Vortagesumsätze.
Alles in allem eine Bomben Woche bis jetzt.Das der Kurs an irgendeinem Tag mal konsolidieren wird war ja klar.Und das die Konso so gering ausfällt nach dem starken Anstieg ist ja der absolute Hammer.
Und des weiteren ist es gut das die Umsätze bei den fallenden Kursen nur ein Bruchteil von denen sind die wir bei steigenden Kursen haben.
Was jetzt noch fehlt ist ein positiver Wochenausklang morgen mit grünem Vorzeichen.
Vielleicht schließen wir morgen ja über 1 Dollar in den USA.
Aber mal abwarten und erst mnal schlafen.

Ab montag evtl. wieder nach oben ....

Aber ich denke man darf die Aktie nicht als Zockeraktie bezeichnen.
Denke schon, dass die Aktie bis 2 Euro weiterlaufen könnte die nächsten Monate.

Hallo zimbolette25plus!
Glaubst du wirklich das es noch einmal nach oben geht,
ich denke es nicht, wie es jetzt ausschaut gehen wir
wieder zurück Richtung 0,25 bis 0,40 USD wenn die Bude
nicht vorher Konkurs anmeldet, dann sehen wir Kurse um
0,01 USD! Bei diesen Schulden die diese Firma hat ist letzters sehr wahrscheinlich. Ich hoffe das ich noch
mit einem blauen Auge davon komme.
Habe leider noch 15000 Stk. von diesem Mist, leider viel
zu hoch gekauft. Vielleicht habe ich noch einmal Glück!

PRG ist ein reiner zockerwert, nicht mehr und nicht weniger.
warum sollte der kurs jetzt noch einmal grossartig nach oben gehen? fundamental gibts da wohl keine gründe für.

Hallo zusammen.
Na alle schon ausgestiegen???
Die Woche war doch gar nicht so schlecht.Wer auf meine Threaderöffnung hin eingestiegen ist der dürfte einen Einstiegskurs von ca. 0,42 Dollar haben und ist somit noch fett im Plus.
Natürlich hat niemand mit so einem Kursanstieg am Montag und Dienstag und die ersten Handelsstunden am Mittwoch gerechnet.
Aber nur weil Sie jetzt vom Schlußkurs am Mittwoch bei 0,91 Dollar auf 0,70 Dollar(Freitagsschluß)gefallen ist gleich die Aktie tot zu reden und schon eine Pleite vorwegzunehmen ist völlig übertrieben.
Wer am Mittwoch seine Gewinne auf Tageshoch mitgenommen hat : Glückwunsch
Aber ich glaube weiterhin an einen weiteren Anstieg in der kommenden Woche.Klar die Zahlen des letzten Quartals sahen nicht gut aus aber die Firma hat meines erachtens eine gute Möglichkeit die Kurve zu bekommen.Die Zwischenfinanzierung von 8 Millionen Dollar ist zwar nicht viel vom Volumen her aber mit den Restrukturierungsmaßnahmen(Mitarbeiterabbau 71 Leute) die PRGX eingeleitet hat sind Sie glaube ich auf einen guten Weg.
Wenn man sich den Chart von Anfang Oktober anschaut sieht man das die Aktie von Anfang Oktober 3 Dollar bis Anfang Novemder 0,70 Dollar gefallen ist.Bei ca. 0,70 Dollar pendelte eine Woche herum um dann auf 0,31 Dollar zu fallen.
Der Kursanstieg in der vergangenen Woche von 0,31 auf 0,91 Dollar waren für drei Tage vielleicht auch zu viel des guten.Der Kurs gab am Freitag auf 0,70 Dollar nach und hat somit den Punkt erreicht wo er Anfang November auch schon mal war.Jetzt dient dieser Bereich aber als Unterstützung würde ich sagen.
Das am Freitag üblicherweise bei den Tradern die Gewinne der Woche mitgenommen werden ist ja klar aber in den letzten 15 Minuten des Handelstagestages am Freitag wurden in den USA auch wieder fleißig gekauft.Alleine das Volumen in den letzten 15 Minuten war mit über 1 Millionen Aktien nicht schlecht und das bei einem steigenden Kurs zum Börsenschluß.
Ich glaube das am Montag da weitergemacht wird und der Kurs wieder nach Norden dreht.Wenn er das macht dann geht es wieder mächtig ab und der Dollar dürfte dieses mal nicht ein so großes Problem werden.
Warten wir es mal ab.
Und jetzt schlagt mich tot das ich postiv eingestellt bin und das immer noch.

Der Kursanstieg in der vergangenen Woche von 0,31 auf 0,91 Dollar waren für drei Tage vielleicht auch zu viel des guten.Der Kurs gab am Freitag auf 0,70 Dollar nach und hat somit den Punkt erreicht wo er Anfang November auch schon mal war.Jetzt dient dieser Bereich aber als Unterstützung würde ich sagen.
Das am Freitag üblicherweise bei den Tradern die Gewinne der Woche mitgenommen werden ist ja klar aber in den letzten 15 Minuten des Handelstagestages am Freitag wurden in den USA auch wieder fleißig gekauft.Alleine das Volumen in den letzten 15 Minuten war mit über 1 Millionen Aktien nicht schlecht und das bei einem steigenden Kurs zum Börsenschluß.
Ich glaube das am Montag da weitergemacht wird und der Kurs wieder nach Norden dreht.Wenn er das macht dann geht es wieder mächtig ab und der Dollar dürfte dieses mal nicht ein so großes Problem werden.
Warten wir es mal ab.
Und jetzt schlagt mich tot das ich postiv eingestellt bin und das immer noch.

sehe das genauso wie du.
Auch wenn ich am Donnerstag ausgestiegen bin, heisst das nicht, das ich an der Story glaube.
Nach dem Anstieg von 300% im Hoch, war es normal das man Gewinne mal mitnimmt. Die Aktie ist aber nicht ins bodenlose gefallen und das ist für mich ein Zeichen das hier gesammelt wird.
Werde am montag entscheiden, ob ich wieder kleine Positionen kaufe.

[posting]19.151.278 von amok01 am 04.12.05 16:39:51[/posting]ich stimme Dir auch zu.
Die Gewinnmitnahmen am Freitag sind ja schon Tradition. Zum Schluß hin wurde der Kurs aber wieder nach oben getrieben und fleisig eingekauft.
Ich rechne mit einer Eröffnung um die 0,75 Cent. Dann könnte es in der ersten Stunde nochmal bis 0,70 runtergehen bevor der erneute Anstieg kommt. Und wenn der kommt sollte die 1$ Marke locker genommen werden.

Das sieht aber garnicht gut aus (über 18 % Kursverlust am Freitag). Aber wer in Pennystocks investiert, kennt ja die Risiken ...

Hast Du Dir nur den Freitag angeschaut?????????
Dann guck mal wo die Aktie Montag hergekommen ist dann wirst Du vielleicht verstehen warum einige Trader Ihre Gewinne am Freitag mitgenommen haben.
Aber wir werden in den nächsten Tagen sehen ob es nur ein Strohfeuer war(was ich nicht glaube) oder ob die Kurstrendwende aufgrund der Restrukturierung in der Firma sich weiter Richtung Norden fortsetzt.
Aber wir werden sehen.

PRG-Schultz Announces Successful Closing of Exchange Offer and New Senior Secured Credit Facility
Monday March 20, 6:00 am ET
ATLANTA--(BUSINESS WIRE)--March 20, 2006--PRG-Schultz International, Inc. (Nasdaq: PRGX - News) announced today that it has accepted all of its 4.75% Convertible Subordinated Notes due 2006 (the "Existing Notes") that were tendered in its exchange offer (the "Exchange Offer") which expired on Friday, March 17, 2006. As of the expiration of the Exchange Offer at 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on March 17, 2006, $124,530,000, or 99.6%, of the outstanding principal amount of Existing Notes had been validly tendered and were exchanged in the Exchange Offer.
ADVERTISEMENT
As a result of the consummation of the Exchange Offer, $470,000 of the Existing Notes remain outstanding, and the company issued an aggregate of (a) $51,635,846 in principal amount of 11.0% Senior Notes Due 2011 (which included $1,823,846 in additional principal amount of Senior Notes issued for accrued and unpaid interest on Exchange Notes that were exchanged), (b) $59,774,400 in principal amount of 10.0% Senior Convertible Notes Due 2011, and (c) 124,530 shares, or $14,943,600 liquidation preference, of 9.0% Senior Series A Convertible Participating Preferred Stock.
The company also announced today that it has entered into a new senior secured credit facility with Ableco Finance LLC and The CIT/Group/Business Credit, Inc., a portion of which is being syndicated to the company`s prior bridge financing lenders. The new credit facility includes a $25.0 million term loan, the net proceeds of which were funded to the company at closing on Friday, March 17, 2006, and up to $20 million in revolving loan borrowings, none of which are currently outstanding. The net proceeds of the new senior credit facility were used to repay all outstanding borrowings under the company`s existing senior credit facility with Bank of America, which were approximately $1.6 million, and all outstanding amounts under the bridge loan between the company and certain holders of its Existing Notes, including accrued and unpaid interest, which were approximately $10.1 million. The remainder of the proceeds of the term loan will be used to pay fees and expenses related to the Exchange Offer and the new senior credit facility and for general corporate purposes.
"With the successful conclusion of the exchange offer and the closing of a new credit facility, we begin a new chapter in our turnaround," said James B. McCurry, the company`s President and Chief Executive Officer. "Our balance sheet has been strengthened and our new senior credit facility provides us with the liquidity we need to run our business. We can now focus on the continued improvement of our operations and the development of new opportunities for creating value for our clients."

Form 8-K for PRG SCHULTZ INTERNATIONAL INC
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
21-Mar-2006
Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement, Material Modification t
ITEM 1.01 ENTRY INTO A MATERIAL DEFINITIVE AGREEMENT.
On March 15, 2006, PRG-Schultz International, Inc. (the "Company") entered into the Fifth Amendment (the "Amendment") to its Shareholder Protection Rights Agreement (the "Shareholder Rights Plan") with Wachovia Bank, National Association, as Rights Agent, dated as of August 9, 2000 (previously amended on May 15, 2002, August 16, 2002 and November 7, 2005), to revise the definition of "Acquiring Person" contained in the Shareholder Rights Plan.
The Amendment provides a carve out (the "Exchange Offer Carve-Out") for increases in beneficial ownership of common stock due solely to the closing of the Company`s Exchange Offer (described under Item 3.03 below). Under the Exchange Offer Carve-Out, no person will be deemed an Acquiring Person (and thus trigger the poison pill) due solely to an increase in beneficial ownership of common stock resulting solely from the close of the Company`s Exchange Offer, so long as no subsequent increases are effected without approval by the Board of Directors.
In addition, the Amendment alters certain exceptions that are provided for the "Blum Investors." The "Blum Investors" include Blum Capital Partners, L.P., Richard C. Blum & Associates, Inc., Blum Strategic GP, LLC, Blum Strategic GP II, LLC, Blum Strategic Partners, LP, Blum Strategic Partners II, LP, Richard C. Blum, Stinson Capital Partners, L.P., Stinson Capital Partners II, L.P., Stinson Capital Partners III, LP, Stinson Capital Fund (Cayman), Ltd., BK Capital Partners IV, L.P., Carpenters Pension Trust for Southern California, Common Fund Multi-Strategy Equity Fund, United Brotherhood of Carpenters and all other affiliates of the above-named Blum Investors that are party to the certain standstill agreement dated August 16, 2002, as amended and restated on November 14, 2005 remains in effect (the "Standstill Agreement"). Under the Shareholder Rights Plan, certain acquisitions of common stock by the Blum Investors are disregarded for purposes of determining whether the Blum Investors constitute an Acquiring Person under the Shareholder Rights Plan. The Plan provides that, subject to certain exceptions, no Blum Investor or Investors will be deemed an Acquiring Person so long as that, and as long as the Blum Investors do not raise their beneficial ownership of common stock beyond the amount reported (which was 9,851,903 shares) in their amendment to Schedule 13D filed with the SEC on June 17, 2002 by more than 5,784,675 shares (the "Limit").
Prior to the Amendment, the following increases were disregarded in computing whether the Blum Investors exceeded the Limit:
o increases due to stock splits, share dividends, recapitalizations, reclassifications, or similar transactions effected by or with the approval of the Board of Directors; and
o increases due to the acquisition of the Company`s 4 3/4% Convertible Subordinated Notes (and any acquisition of common stock acquired upon the conversion of such notes) (the "Note Exclusion").
The Amendment provides that the Note Exclusion expired at the close of the Company`s Exchange Offer (which took place on Friday, March 17, 2006), and it excludes from the computation of the Limit the shares subject to the Exchange Offer Carve-Out as well as any shares of Company common stock which were beneficially owned by other members of the Ad Hoc Committee of bondholders, and which the Blum Investors may have been deemed to beneficially own due solely to their membership or participation in that committee.
The Amendment is filed as Exhibit 4.1 hereto and is incorporated by reference herein. The Rights Agent also serves as the Transfer Agent for the Company`s Common Stock and the Trustee for the Company`s outstanding notes.
SECTION 3 SECURITIES AND TRADING MARKETS.
ITEM 3.03 MATERIAL MODIFICATION TO RIGHTS OF SECURITY HOLDERS.
On March 15, 2006, the Company filed Articles of Amendment (the "Articles of Amendment") to its Articles of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of Georgia, authorizing issuance of two new series of preferred stock: Series A Convertible Participating Preferred Stock (the "Series A Preferred Stock") and Series B Convertible Participating Preferred Stock (the "Series B Preferred Stock") in connection with the Company`s Exchange Offer. On March 17, 2006, upon the closing of the Exchange Offer, the Company issued an aggregate of (a) $51,635,846 in principal amount of 11.0% Senior Notes Due 2011 (which included $1,823,846 in additional principal amount of Senior Notes issued for accrued and unpaid interest on Exchange Notes that were exchanged), (b) $59,774,400 in principal amount of 10.0% Senior Convertible Notes Due 2011, and (c) 124,530 shares, or $14,943,600 liquidation preference, of the Series A Preferred Stock in exchange for $124,530,000 or 99.6% of the outstanding principal amount of its 4.75% Convertible Subordinated Notes due 2006.
No Series B Preferred Stock has yet been issued. The Series B Preferred Stock is issuable only upon conversion of the new senior convertible notes, which are only convertible under certain circumstances. Each $1,000 of face amount of the convertible notes are convertible into approximately 2.083 shares of series B preferred stock; provided that upon the occurrence of certain events, including approval by the shareholders of an amendment to the Company`s Articles of Incorporation to increase the number shares of common stock available for issuance, the convertible notes will be convertible only into common stock, at a rate of approximately 1,538 shares per $1,000 principal amount.
The Series A Preferred Stock is convertible at the rate of $0.28405 of liquidation preference per share of common stock. The Series B Preferred Stock is convertible at the rate of $0.65 of liquidation preference per share of common stock, subject to certain conditions, including amendment of the Articles of Incorporation to allow sufficient additional shares of common stock to be issued for the conversion.
Under the Articles of Amendment, the Series A and Series B Preferred Stock have the right to vote with the Company`s common stock on most matters requiring shareholder votes. Each share of Preferred Stock will be entitled to the number of votes that the shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of such share would have. Each share of Series A Preferred Stock will initially have 422.5 votes, and each share of Series B Preferred Stock (were any issued) will initially have 738.5 votes. Immediately following the closing of the Exchange Offer, holders of the Company`s common stock owned approximately 54% of the equity of the Company. If all the new senior convertible notes had been converted into series B preferred stock at the time of closing, the existing common shareholders would have owned approximately 30% of the equity of the Company.
The terms of the Preferred Stock also restrict certain distributions, including the payment of dividends, on the Company`s common stock unless the Company has paid or set aside the cumulative dividends then owed on the Preferred Stock. The new series A preferred stock has a 9% dividend, payable in cash or in kind, at the option of the Company. Any Series B preferred stock issued will have a 10% annual dividend and a liquidation preference equal to the principal amount of notes converted.
The terms and conditions of the Preferred Stock are more particularly described in the Articles of Amendment, as corrected, which is filed as Exhibit 3.1 hereto and incorporated hereunder by reference.
The contents of Item 1.01 describing certain revisions to the Company`s Shareholder Rights Plan are incorporated hereunder by reference.
SECTION 5 CORPORATE GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT.
ITEM 5.03 AMENDMENT TO ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION OR BYLAWS; CHANGE IN FISCAL YEAR.
On March 15, 2006, the Company filed the Articles of Amendment related to the Preferred Stock, a copy of which is filed herewith as Exhibit 3.1. See Item 3.03 above, the contents of which are incorporated hereunder by reference.

The Series A Preferred Stock is convertible at the rate of $0.28405 of liquidation preference per share of common stock. The Series B Preferred Stock is convertible at the rate of $0.65 of liquidation preference per share of common stock, subject to certain conditions, including amendment of the Articles of Incorporation to allow sufficient additional shares of common stock to be issued for the conversion.
Under the Articles of Amendment, the Series A and Series B Preferred Stock have the right to vote with the Company`s common stock on most matters requiring shareholder votes. Each share of Preferred Stock will be entitled to the number of votes that the shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of such share would have. Each share of Series A Preferred Stock will initially have 422.5 votes, and each share of Series B Preferred Stock (were any issued) will initially have 738.5 votes. Immediately following the closing of the Exchange Offer, holders of the Company`s common stock owned approximately 54% of the equity of the Company. If all the new senior convertible notes had been converted into series B preferred stock at the time of closing, the existing common shareholders would have owned approximately 30% of the equity of the Company.
The terms of the Preferred Stock also restrict certain distributions, including the payment of dividends, on the Company`s common stock unless the Company has paid or set aside the cumulative dividends then owed on the Preferred Stock. The new series A preferred stock has a 9% dividend, payable in cash or in kind, at the option of the Company. Any Series B preferred stock issued will have a 10% annual dividend and a liquidation preference equal to the principal amount of notes converted.
The terms and conditions of the Preferred Stock are more particularly described in the Articles of Amendment, as corrected, which is filed as Exhibit 3.1 hereto and incorporated hereunder by reference.
The contents of Item 1.01 describing certain revisions to the Company`s Shareholder Rights Plan are incorporated hereunder by reference.

Wie immer.
Ich mach mir da keinen Kopf mehr.
Ist ohnehin ein absoltes Alles-oder-nichts-ding.
Wenn sie ohne große Aufstände den Turnaround irgendwie hinkriegen, wird das Ding durch die Decke schießen.
Sollten Sie sich Ideen ausdenken wie Kapitalerhöhung, hauen wir gegen Null. So einfach ist das.
Reine speku! aber hat ja auch schon funktioniert. Also hoffen wir das beste!

PRG-Schultz International Posts Higher Q1 Loss
ATLANTA (AP) -- Auditing company PRG-Schultz International Inc. said Monday reported its preliminary first-quarter loss more than doubled from last year, weighed by lower revenue and financial restructuring charges.
ADVERTISEMENT
For the quarter ended March 31, PRG-Schultz reported a net loss of $10.6 million, or 17 cents per share, versus a prior-year loss of $4.9 million, or 8 cents per share.
The quarter's loss included a $10.3 million charge for the exchange of the company's convertible notes, a non-cash $300,000 charge for stock options, and a $400,000 charge for severance and other charges from a previously disclosed operational restructuring.
Excluding those items, adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization totaled $6.6 million, versus $1.9 million in the year-ago quarter.
Revenue declined nearly 13 percent to $65.5 million from $75.1 million a year ago.
PRG-Schultz International shares rose 10 cents, or 18 percent, to 64 cents in early trading.

PRG-Schultz Announces Second Quarter 2006 Financial Results
Monday August 7, 5:05 pm ET
ATLANTA--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug. 7, 2006--PRG-Schultz International, Inc. (Nasdaq: PRGX - News), the world's largest recovery audit firm, today announced its unaudited financial results for second quarter ended June 30, 2006.
Highlights of Financial Results
Net loss for the 2006 second quarter was $3.6 million or ($.06) per basic and diluted share, including a loss on discontinued operations of $0.8 million, a non-cash charge of $0.3 million related to stock option compensation and a charge of $1.6 million for severance and other charges related to the previously announced operational restructuring. This compares to a net loss of $6.3 million, or ($.10) per basic and diluted share for the same period in 2005, which included earnings from discontinued operations of $0.3 million, a charge of $0.3 million related to the Company's evaluation of its strategic alternatives, a charge of $0.5 million for costs related to the Company's strategic cost reduction initiative, and accruals of $3.5 million for the retirement benefits of the Company's former Chairman and CEO, John Cook, and its former Vice Chairman, Jack Toma.
Adjusted EBITDA for the 2006 second quarter was $6.5 million compared to $3.0 million for the same period in 2005. The 2006 second quarter adjusted EBITDA is earnings from continuing operations before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) excluding a $0.3 million non-cash charge related to stock option compensation expense, and a $1.6 million charge for severance and other charges associated with the operational restructuring. Adjusted EBITDA for the second quarter of 2005 excludes the $3.5 million retirement accrual for Messrs. Cook and Toma. (Schedule 3 provides a reconciliation of net earnings (loss) to each of EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA.)
Consolidated revenue for the second quarter of 2006 was $65.3 million, a decline of 16.5% compared to $78.2 million for the same period in 2005. Cost of Revenue and SG&A expenses combined were $62.0 million for the second quarter, which were lower by $20.3 million, or 24.6%, compared to the same period in 2005.
Net loss for the first six months of 2006 was $13.9 million or ($.23) per basic and diluted share, including a non-cash charge of $10.1 million resulting from the Company's previously announced successful financial restructuring, a loss on discontinued operations of $0.7 million, a non-cash charge of $0.7 million related to stock option compensation and a charge of $2.0 million for severance and other charges related to the operational restructuring. This compares to a net loss of $11.2 million, or ($.18) per basic and diluted share for the same period in 2005, which included a loss on discontinued operations of $0.1 million, a charge of $0.5 million related to the Company's evaluation of its strategic alternatives, a charge of $0.5 million for costs relating to the Company's strategic cost reduction initiative, and accruals of $3.5 million for the retirement benefits of Mr. Cook and Mr. Toma.
Adjusted EBITDA for the first six months of 2006 was $13.1 million compared to $4.9 million in the first six months of 2005. Adjusted EBITDA for this period excludes a $0.7 million non-cash charge related to stock option compensation expense and a $2.0 million charge for severance and other charges associated with the operational restructuring. Adjusted EBITDA for the first half of 2005 excludes the $3.5 million retirement accrual for Messrs. Cook and Toma.
Consolidated revenue for the first six months of 2006 was $130.8 million, a decline of 14.7% as compared to $153.3 million for the first six months of 2005. Cost of Revenue and SG&A expenses combined were $124.1 million for the first half, which were lower by $35.3 million, or 22.1%, compared to the same period in 2005.
Cash generated from operations for the six months ended June 30, 2006 was $7.5 million compared to a usage of cash of $9.0 million for the same period in 2005, a year over year improvement of $16.5 million.
Liquidity
At June 30, 2006 the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $18.6 million and had no borrowings against its revolving credit facility. Debt outstanding at quarter end included a $25 million variable rate term loan due 2010, $0.5 million of 4.75% convertible notes due 2006, $51.6 million in principal amount of 11.0% Senior Notes Due 2011, and $59.8 in principal amount of 10.0% Senior Convertible Notes Due 2011. As of June 30, 2005, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $12.2 million and $12.5 million of borrowings against its revolving credit facility. Debt outstanding at June 30, 2005 also included the $125 million in principal amount of 4.75% convertible notes due 2006.
"Our turnaround continued to gain momentum in the second quarter, our first full quarter after the successful restructuring of our balance sheet and the third consecutive quarter of positive operating EBITDA and cash flow," said James B. McCurry, chairman, president and chief executive officer. "We have a newly reconstituted board of directors and an entirely new senior management team in place, and we are aggressively attacking opportunities to continue the improvement of our financial performance by helping our clients improve their performance. We are especially excited by the promising early results shown by our audit of Medicare payments in California."
About PRG-Schultz International, Inc.
Headquartered in Atlanta, PRG-Schultz International, Inc.

Using proprietary software and expert audit methodologies, PRG industry specialists review client purchases and payment information to identify and recover overpayments.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA are both "non-GAAP financial measures" presented as supplemental measures of our performance. They are not required by, or presented in accordance with, accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, or GAAP. The Company believes these measures provide additional meaningful information in evaluating the Company's performance over time, and that the rating agencies and a number of lenders use EBITDA and similar measures for similar purposes. In addition, a number of restrictive covenants related to the Company's credit facilities use measures similar to adjusted EBITDA. However, EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA have limitations as analytical tools, and you should not consider them in isolation, or as substitutes for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. In addition, in evaluating EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA, you should be aware that in the future we will incur expenses such as those used in calculating these measures. Our presentation of these measures should not be construed as an inference that our future results will be unaffected by unusual or nonrecurring items.

EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA are both "non-GAAP financial measures"
presented as supplemental measures of our performance. They are not
required by, or presented in accordance with, accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States, or GAAP. The company
believes these measures provide additional meaningful information in
evaluating the company's performance over time, and that the rating
agencies and a number of lenders use EBITDA and similar measures for
similar purposes. In addition, a number of restrictive covenants
related to the company's credit facilities use measures similar to
EBITDA. However, EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA have limitations as
analytical tools, and you should not consider them in isolation, or
as substitutes for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. In
addition, in evaluating EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA, you should be
aware that in the future we will incur expenses such as those used in
calculating these measures. Our presentation of these measures should
not be construed as an inference that our future results will be
unaffected by unusual or nonrecurring items.

PRG Schultz Approves Reverse Split
Friday August 11, 11:55 am ET
PRG Schultz International Splitting Stick 1-For-10 to Meet Nasdaq Listing Standards
ATLANTA (AP) -- Recovery audit firm PRG-Schultz International Inc. said Friday it will conduct a 1-for-10 reverse stock split to boost the value of its stock and meet Nasdaq listing requirements.
The move comes as the company faces delisting from the Nasdaq because its stock has been trading below the minimum $1 bid price. Shareholders approved the measure at the company's annual meeting Friday.
ADVERTISEMENT
The number of common shares outstanding will be reduced to about 6.5 million from around 65.1 million, effective Aug. 14. Starting then, the company's stock will trade under the symbol "PRGXD" for 20 trading days to designate its post-reverse split status. It will revert to its current "PRGX" symbol after that.
PRG Schultz is awaiting the final ruling from Nasdaq on its listing status.
The split also effects the company's Series A Preferred Stock, moving the conversion price to $2.8405 and the conversion price for 10 percent Senior Convertible Notes due 2011 to $6.50.
PRG-Shultz traded unchanged at 33 cents in morning trading on the Nasdaq

die Aktien von PGRX werden 10:1 gesplittet, das heißt wenn Du jetzt 1000 Stück hast sind nach dem Split nur noch 100 Stück, was allerdings nicht unbedingt heißt das diese dann weniger Wert sind.
Ab 14.August für 20 Tage werden die gesplitteten Aktien in Amerika unter dem Kürzel PRGXD gehandelt und wenn die 20 Tage um sind laufen sie wieder unter dem vorherigen Kürzel PGRX.
Auch wenn ich mir nicht ganz sicher bin, denke ich das es für den Zeitraum von diesen 20 Tagen in Deutschland keinen Handel gibt.

Form 8-K for PRG SCHULTZ INTERNATIONAL INC
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
17-Aug-2006
Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement, Unregistered Sale of Eq
Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On August 11, 2006, the shareholders of PRG-Schultz International, Inc. (the "Company") approved the issuance of shares of common stock under the Company's 2006 Management Incentive Plan (the "2006 MIP") up to a maximum of 21 million shares of common stock (2.1 million shares of common stock following the Company's reverse stock split which became effective at 8:00 a.m. Eastern Time on August 14, 2006). The terms of the 2006 MIP are more particularly described in the Company's proxy statement filed July 5, 2006 and are incorporated herein by reference.
Item 3.02 Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.
On August 15, 2006, a holder of the Company's 9.0% Senior Series A Convertible Participating Preferred Stock (the "Series A Preferred Stock") converted a total of 3,000 shares of the Series A Preferred into an aggregate of 126,738 shares of the Company's common stock. The Series A Preferred Stock was converted at the current conversion ratio under the terms of the Series A Preferred Stock, which is approximately 42.246083 shares of common stock per one share ($120 liquidation preference) of Series A Preferred No fractional shares were issued.
The issuance of shares of common stock pursuant to the above conversion consists of an exchange of securities solely with a holder of the Company's Series A Preferred Stock, and is accordingly exempt from registration under Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. No commission or other remuneration was paid or given directly or indirectly for soliciting such an exchange.
Item 3.03 Material Modification to Rights of Security Holders.
On August 11, 2006, the shareholders of the Company approved a number of amendments to the Company's articles of incorporation, including an amendment to effect a 1-for-10 reverse stock split, as described in the Company's press release filed as Exhibit 99.1 to this Form 8-K. Set forth below is a summary of each of the amendments:
1. The first paragraph of Article 2 of the articles of incorporation was amended to provide that the total number of authorized shares of capital stock would be 51 million, of which 50 million shall be designated as common stock, and 1 million designated as preferred. Prior to the amendment, the articles provided for a total number of authorized shares of capital stock of 201 million (without giving effect to the reverse stock split), including 200 million common shares and 1 million shares of preferred. The amendment reflects a decrease in accordance with the Company's reverse stock split, plus an upward adjustment to allow for, among other things, the exercise of outstanding convertible securities.
2. Article 2 was also amended so as to provide for a 1-for-10 reverse stock split of the Company's common stock which was effective at 8:00 a.m. Eastern Time on August 14, 2006. The company's common stock will trade under the symbol "PRGXD" for the first 20 trading days following effectiveness. Shares authorized for issuance were also proportionately reduced.
3. Section 5.1(a) was amended to increase the number of shares of the Company's 10.0% Senior Series B Convertible Participating Preferred Stock (the "Series B Preferred Stock") authorized for issuance from 125,000 shares to 264,000 shares. However, because the currently outstanding 10% Senior Convertible Notes due 2011 (the "10% Convertible Notes") became convertible into common stock only as of August 15, 2006 (see Item 7.01 below), the Company does not presently anticipate the issuance of any shares of Series B Preferred Stock.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4. Sections 4.4(e) and 5.4(e) were each amended to provide that no adjustment will be made to the conversion price of any shares of Series B Preferred Stock or the Company's 9.0% Senior Series A Convertible Participating Preferred Stock (the "Series A Preferred Stock"), or to the number of shares issuable upon such conversion, due to any conversion of the 10% Convertible Notes, Series A Preferred Stock or Series B Preferred Stock, or the exercise of any stock option. Previously, these sections provided for adjustments commensurate with those provided under the 2006 MIP.
5. Sections 4.6 and 5.6 were each amended to provide that holders of Series A and Series B Preferred Stock are not entitled to vote as a separate group on amendments, modifications or repeals of the Company's Bylaws unless the amendment, modification or repeal in question affect the terms of the preferred stock in a way which materially adversely affects the powers, preferences or rights of the holders thereof. The text previously suggested that such preferred holders were entitled to vote as a separate group on every amendment to the Company's Bylaws.
A copy of the Company's articles of incorporation as amended and restated solely for the purposes of SEC reporting is filed as Exhibit 3.1 to this Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.
Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure.
On August 15, 2006, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission declared effective the Company's registration statement covering the resale by certain selling securityholders named therein of the Company's 11% Senior Notes, the 10% Convertible Notes, the Series A Preferred Stock, and the common stock into which the 10% Convertible Notes and the Series A Preferred Stock are convertible. Accordingly, the 10% Convertible Notes became convertible on August 15, 2006 into common stock only, at a conversion rate of $6.50 per share of common stock, applied against the liquidation preference of the 10% Convertible Notes, and the Company does not presently expect that any Series B Preferred will be issued.

Nasdaq Tells PRG-Schultz It Can Continue Listing Shares on Stock Exchange
ATLANTA (AP) -- Recovery audit firm PRG-Schultz International Inc. said Tuesday the Nasdaq will allow the company to continue listing its shares on the exchange.
The Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Panel determined PRG-Schultz is in compliance with the Nasdaq's rules, the company said. The Nasdaq told the company in June it faced delisting because PRG-Schultz's stock traded below the $1 per share minimum. Shareholders last month approved a 1-for-10 reverse stock split to reduce the company's shares outstanding and boost the stock price above the $1 minimum.

The Nasdaq told the company in June it faced delisting because PRG-Schultz's stock traded below the $1 per share minimum. Shareholders last month approved a 1-for-10 reverse stock split to reduce the company's shares outstanding and boost the stock price above the $1 minimum.

WNS Furthers Leadership Position in Travel-Sector BPO
Thursday September 7, 4:30 pm ET
Expands Capabilities Through a Strategic Acquisition
Also Announces New Travel Client Win
MUMBAI, India & NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sept. 7, 2006--WNS (Holdings) Limited (NYSE: WNS - News), the parent company of WNS Global Services, a leading offshore business process outsourcing (BPO) provider, today announced it has enhanced its strong position in the travel services sector with a strategic acquisition and a new client relationship.
ADVERTISEMENT
"With a travel services sector client base now including 30 leading airlines, travel agencies and industry partners, WNS is a leader in providing BPO solutions to the travel industry," stated Anup Gupta, Chief Executive Officer, WNS Travel Services. "This strategic acquisition, as well as our new client partnership with a leading North American airline, further strengthens this position."
WNS provides the travel industry with more than 120 services including sales and reservations, customer service, finance and accounting, travel operations, revenue management and fare filing.
Acquisition of PRG Airline Services *
WNS has completed the acquisition of business assets of PRG Airline Services Ltd., previously the Airline Revenue Recovery Division of PRG-Schultz International, Inc. (NASDAQ: PRGX - News) the world's leading recovery audit firm. This acquisition expands WNS' revenue accounting and recovery services through a state-of-the-art software platform, Verifare, which minimizes revenue leakage through a comprehensive audit of airline fare, sales and usage data.
With this acquisition, 13 senior travel industry and technology specialists from PRG Airline Services have joined WNS. Among them is Managing Director Michelle Scarsbrook, who prior to establishing the airline division at PRG-Schultz was responsible for revenue audit operations for British Airways. The team operates from offices in Salt Lake City, Utah, and London and will be supported by experienced associates in WNS' India-based delivery centers.
"We are very pleased to be joining the WNS team," said Ms. Scarsbrook. "WNS is a leading BPO provider in this sector, with an extensive service offering and enviable client list. We look forward to helping the company further strengthen its leadership position."
Mr. Gupta added, "WNS constantly seeks opportunities to enhance the services we provide. This acquisition furthers our strategy to provide integrated technology platform based BPO services to our clients. We believe these additional services will provide significant opportunities to deepen existing partnerships and build new ones."
New Client Win: Leading North American Airline**
Separately, WNS announced a multi-year contract with a leading North American airline to provide revenue accounting and audit services. The scope for revenue accounting services was further expanded by the airline to include revenue recovery and audit solutions following WNS' acquisition of PRG Airline Services.
"The customer followed a very rigorous process to evaluate many top-tier global players, and selected WNS based on its domain knowledge, delivery track record and management team," said Anish Nanavaty, Executive Vice President, WNS North America. "We are very excited about this relationship and it will enable us to strengthen our position in the North American market."
* This acquisition is not expected to have a material impact on the financial results of the company for fiscal year 2007.
**One of the new client wins discussed on the Q1 Earnings Call held on August 21, 2006.

Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement, Termination of a Materi
Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
On September 29, 2006, PRG-Schultz International, Inc. (the "Company") entered into an Option Termination Agreement (the "Agreement") with its President, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board, James B. McCurry. Under the Agreement, Mr. McCurry voluntarily surrendered for cancellation his option to purchase 200,000 shares of Company common stock, after giving effect to the Company's 1-for-10 reverse stock split effected on August 14, 2006, which option was granted on July 29, 2005, as part of his initial employment package.
The cancellation of the referenced stock option will accelerate share-based compensation expense that otherwise would be recorded in future periods under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 123(R). The Company estimates that this action will result in an aggregate acceleration of approximately $1.7 million in the Company's share-based compensation expense, which would have been amortized over the relevant vesting periods of the option.
The transaction has the effect of returning 200,000 shares to the Company's unrestricted reserve of common stock, which shares may be used for general corporate purposes. Mr. McCurry voluntarily offered the option to the Company for cancellation and did not request or receive any payment from the Company in connection with the cancellation.
The material terms of the cancelled option were disclosed in the Company's Form 8-K which was filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on July 25, 2005, the contents of which are incorporated herein by reference. The cancelled option had an exercise price of $31.60 per share. The vesting of the time-vesting tranche of the option (50,000 shares) was subsequently accelerated in anticipation of the Company's adoption of SFAS No. 123(R). The remaining tranches of the option (150,000 shares) would have vested only upon the achievement (and maintenance for 45 consecutive trading days) of closing market prices of the Company's common stock ranging from $45 to $80 per share.
The description above is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Agreement. A copy of the Agreement is incorporated herein by reference and attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1.
Mr. McCurry has no material relationships with the Company or any of its affiliates, other than as a holder of Company's securities and a director and officer of the Company, and as previously disclosed in the Company's periodic reports on file with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
Item 1.02 Termination of a Material Definitive Agreement.

PRG-Schultz Announces Third Quarter 2006 Financial Results
Tuesday November 7, 6:00 am ET
ATLANTA--(BUSINESS WIRE)--PRG-Schultz International, Inc. (Nasdaq: PRGX - News), the world's largest recovery audit firm, today announced its unaudited financial results for the third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2006.
Highlights of Financial Results
Net loss for the 2006 third quarter was $4.2 million or ($.69) per basic and diluted share, including a loss on discontinued operations of $0.2 million, a charge of $2.0 million related to grants under the recently adopted management incentive plan for the Company's senior executives, a charge of $1.7 million associated with the voluntary surrender and cancellation of stock options by the Company's chief executive officer, $0.4 million of other stock-based compensation charges, and a charge of $0.2 million for severance related to the Company's operational restructuring which began in the third quarter of 2005. This compares to a net loss of $20.8 million, or ($3.35) per basic and diluted share for the same period in 2005, which included a loss from discontinued operations of $1.1 million, and a charge of $7.9 million for severance and other charges related to the previously mentioned operational restructuring.
Adjusted EBITDA for the 2006 third quarter was $8.7 million compared to a negative adjusted EBITDA of ($5.4 million) for the same period in 2005. The 2006 third quarter adjusted EBITDA is earnings (loss) from continuing operations before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) excluding the $1.7 million charge related to the cancellation of the CEO's options, the $2.4 million of charges related to other stock-based compensation, and the $0.2 million charge for severance associated with the operational restructuring. The negative adjusted EBITDA for the third quarter of 2005 is EBITDA for the period excluding the $7.9 million operational restructuring charge and $0.1 million of stock-based compensation charges. (Schedule 3 attached to this press release provides a reconciliation of net earnings (loss) to each of EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA.)
Consolidated revenue for the third quarter of 2006 was $64.7 million, a decline of 2.6% compared to $66.4 million for the same period in 2005. Cost of Revenue and SG&A expenses combined were $62.7 million for the third quarter, a decrease of $12.7 million, or 16.8%, compared to the same period in 2005.
Net loss for the first nine months of 2006 was $18.2 million or ($2.95) per basic and diluted share, including a non-cash charge of $10 million resulting from the Company's financial restructuring which was completed in March of this year, a loss on discontinued operations of $0.9 million, a charge of $1.7 million related to the cancellation of stock options, charges of $3.1 million related to other stock-based compensation, and a charge of $2.1 million for severance and other charges related to the operational restructuring. This compares to a net loss of $32.0 million, or ($5.16) per basic and diluted share for the same period in 2005, which included a loss on discontinued operations of $1.2 million, the $7.9 million charge related to the operational restructuring, $0.3 million of stock-based compensation charges, and accruals of $3.5 million for the retirement benefits of the Company's former chairman and CEO, John Cook, and its former vice chairman, Jack Toma.
Adjusted EBITDA for the first nine months of 2006 was $21.8 million compared to negative adjusted EBITDA of ($0.3 million) in the first nine months of 2005. Adjusted EBITDA for the 2006 nine-month period excludes a $1.7 million charge related to the cancellation of stock options, $3.1 million of charges related to other stock-based compensation, and a $2.1 million charge for severance and other charges associated with the operational restructuring. The negative adjusted EBITDA for the first nine months of 2005 is EBITDA for the period excluding the $3.5 million retirement accrual for Messrs. Cook and Toma, the $7.9 million operational restructuring charge, and $0.3 million of stock-based compensation charges.
Consolidated revenue for the first nine months of 2006 was $195.6 million, a decline of 11.0% compared to $219.7 million for the first nine months of 2005. Cost of Revenue and SG&A expenses combined were $186.9 million for the 2006 nine-month period, a decrease of $48.0 million, or 20.4%, compared to the same period in 2005.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA are both "non-GAAP financial measures" presented as supplemental measures of our performance. They are not required by, or presented in accordance with, accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, or GAAP. The Company believes these measures provide additional meaningful information in evaluating the Company's performance over time, and that the rating agencies and a number of lenders use EBITDA and similar measures for similar purposes. In addition, a measure similar to adjusted EBITDA is used in the restrictive covenants contained in the Company's secured credit facility. However, EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA have limitations as analytical tools, and you should not consider them in isolation, or as substitutes for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. In addition, in evaluating EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA, you should be aware that in the future we will incur expenses such as those used in calculating these measures. Our presentation of these measures should not be construed as an inference that our future results will be unaffected by unusual or nonrecurring items. Schedule 3 provides a reconciliation of net earnings (loss) to each of EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA.
Forward Looking Statements
This press release includes certain forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, in addition to historical information. Such statements include both implied and express statements regarding the Company's financial condition and position, the expected contribution to earnings of its Medicare payments audit in California and the ability to successfully complete the Company's operational turnaround (including plans to streamline the Company's organization). Such forward looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause the actual results, performance or achievements of the Company to differ materially from the historical results or from any results expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Risks that could affect the Company's future performance include the Company's ability to retain personnel, Medicare audit revenues that do not meet expectations or justify costs incurred, the Company's ability to replace the declining revenues from its core accounts payable services, changes in the market for the Company's services, client bankruptcies, loss of major clients, and other risks generally applicable to the Company's business. For a discussion of other risk factors that may impact the Company's business and the success of its restructuring plan, please see the Company's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including its Form 10-K filed on March 23, 2006 and its Registration Statement on Form S-1, as amended and filed on August 15, 2006. The Company disclaims any obligation or duty to update or modify these forward-looking statements.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA are both "non-GAAP financial measures" presented as supplemental measures of our performance. They are not required by, or presented in accordance with, accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, or GAAP. The Company believes these measures provide additional meaningful information in evaluating the Company's performance over time, and that the rating agencies and a number of lenders use EBITDA and similar measures for similar purposes. In addition, a measure similar to adjusted EBITDA is used in the restrictive covenants contained in the Company's secured credit facility. However, EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA have limitations as analytical tools, and you should not consider them in isolation, or as substitutes for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. In addition, in evaluating EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA, you should be aware that in the future we will incur expenses such as those used in calculating these measures. Our presentation of these measures should not be construed as an inference that our future results will be unaffected by unusual or nonrecurring items. Schedule 3 provides a reconciliation of net earnings (loss) to each of EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA.
Forward Looking Statements
This press release includes certain forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, in addition to historical information. Such statements include both implied and express statements regarding the Company's financial condition and position, the expected contribution to earnings of its Medicare payments audit in California and the ability to successfully complete the Company's operational turnaround (including plans to streamline the Company's organization). Such forward looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause the actual results, performance or achievements of the Company to differ materially from the historical results or from any results expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Risks that could affect the Company's future performance include the Company's ability to retain personnel, Medicare audit revenues that do not meet expectations or justify costs incurred, the Company's ability to replace the declining revenues from its core accounts payable services, changes in the market for the Company's services, client bankruptcies, loss of major clients, and other risks generally applicable to the Company's business. For a discussion of other risk factors that may impact the Company's business and the success of its restructuring plan, please see the Company's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including its Form 10-K filed on March 23, 2006 and its Registration Statement on Form S-1, as amended and filed on August 15, 2006. The Company disclaims any obligation or duty to update or modify these forward-looking statements.

Auf Mauritius will ich auch irgenwann mal
Das kann aber noch ein Weilchen dauern

The Atlanta-based recovery audit firm (NASDAQ: PRGX - News) had a net loss of $21.1 million on $266.1 million in revenue, compared with a net loss of $207.7 million on $292.2 million in revenue in 2005. Loss per share was $3.32, compared with a loss per share of $33.50 in 2005.

The 2005 loss included a non-cash charge of $170.4 million for impairment of goodwill and other intangibles; a charge of $11.6 million associated with the company's operational restructuring; a charge of $3.9 million for severance costs related to the departures of the company's former CEO and former vice chairman; a loss on discontinued operations of $2.2 million; and a charge of $400,000 for stock-based compensation.
"The first full year of our turnaround has put our company on a solid footing for attacking our future opportunities," said James B. McCurry, chairman, president and CEO. "A realigned cost structure and a focused commitment to meeting the objectives of our most important clients have transformed our core recovery audit business into a reliable source of cash for paying down debt and investing in new sources of future revenue. We are learning and developing new ways to bring value to our strong existing base of clients throughout the world."
McCurry added that the coming national expansion of recovery audit of Medicare to all 50 states is a good growth opportunity for the company.

Annual Report
ITEM 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations
Introduction
The Company's revenues are based on specific contracts with its clients. Such contracts generally specify: (a) time periods covered by the audit; (b) nature and extent of audit services to be provided by the Company; (c) the client's duties in assisting and cooperating with the Company; and (d) fees payable to the Company, generally expressed as a specified percentage of the amounts recovered by the client resulting from overpayment claims identified. Clients generally recover claims by either taking credits against outstanding payables or future purchases from the involved vendors, or receiving refund checks directly from those vendors. The manner in which a claim is recovered by a client is often dictated by industry practice. In addition, many clients establish client-specific procedural guidelines that the Company must satisfy prior to submitting claims for client approval. For some services provided by the Company, client contracts provide for compensation to the Company in the form of a flat fee, or fee rate per hour, or per unit of usage for the rendering of that service.
The Company generally recognizes revenue on the accrual basis except with respect to its Meridian VAT reclaim business and certain international Accounts Payable Services units where revenue is recognized on the cash basis in accordance with guidance issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission in Staff Accounting Bulletin ("SAB") No. 104, "Revenue Recognition." Revenue is generally recognized for a contractually specified percentage of amounts recovered when it has been determined that the client has received economic value (generally through credits taken against existing accounts payable due to the involved vendors or refund checks received from those vendors), and when the following criteria are met: (a) persuasive evidence of an existing contractual arrangement between the Company and the client exists; (b) services have been rendered; (c) the fee billed to the client is fixed or determinable; and
(d) collectability is reasonably assured. In certain limited circumstances, the Company will invoice a client prior to meeting all four of these criteria. In those instances, revenue is deferred until all of the criteria are met. Historically, there has been a certain amount of revenue that, even though meeting the requirements of the Company's revenue recognition policy, relates to underlying claims ultimately rejected by the Company's clients' vendors. In that case, the Company's clients may request a refund of such amount. The Company records such refunds as a reduction of revenue (See "Critical Accounting Policies - Unbilled Revenue and Refund Liability" as fully described in Note 1 of Notes of the Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8. of this Form 10-K). The contingent fee based VAT reclaim division of the Company's Meridian business, along with certain other international Accounts Payable Services units, recognize revenue on the cash basis in accordance with guidance issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission in Staff Accounting Bulletin ("SAB") No. 104, "Revenue Recognition." Based on the guidance in SAB No. 104, Meridian defers recognition of contingent fee revenues to the accounting period in which cash is both received from the foreign governmental agencies reimbursing the VAT claims and transferred to Meridian's clients. The Company derives a relatively small amount of revenues on a "fee-for-service" basis where revenue is based upon a flat fee, or fee per hour, or fee per unit of usage. The Company recognizes revenue for these types of services as they are provided and invoiced and when the revenue recognition criteria described above in clauses (a) through (d) have been satisfied. On March 29, 2005, the Company announced that CMS, the federal agency that administers the Medicare program, awarded the Company a contract to provide recovery audit services for the State of California's Medicare spending. The three-year contract was effective on March 28, 2005. To fully address the range of payment recovery opportunities, the Company has sub-contracted with Concentra Preferred Systems, the nation's largest provider of specialized cost containment services for the healthcare industry, which will add its clinical experience to the Company's expertise in recovery audit services. The contract was awarded as part of a demonstration program by CMS to recover overpayments through the use of recovery auditing. The Company began to incur capital expenditures and employee compensation costs related to this contract in 2005. Such capital expenditures and employee compensation costs will continue to be incurred during 2007 as the Company continues to build this business. Management remains optimistic that the audit of Medicare payments in California will make an important contribution to future earnings; however, the Company has only limited ability to influence the timing of the processing of identified claims by third party claims processors, and the Company's revenues from its Medicare audit efforts may vary significantly from period to period.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Table of Contents
In late 2006, legislation was passed that mandated that recovery audit of Medicare be extended beyond March 27, 2008, the end of the three-year recovery audit demonstration project under the original authorizing legislation, and that CMS enter into additional contracts with recovery audit contractors to expand recovery auditing of Medicare out to all fifty states by January 1, 2010. While it is difficult to assess the impact of this legislation, management believes it will provide additional opportunities to expand the Company's Medicare audit recovery business.
Operational Restructuring
On August 19, 2005, the Company announced that it had taken the initial step in implementing an expense restructuring plan, necessitated by the Company's declining revenue trend over the previous two and one-half years. On September 30, 2005, the Company's Board of Directors approved the restructuring plan and authorized implementation of the plan. At the time the operational restructuring plan was approved, annualized savings from the restructuring plan were expected to be approximately $42.2 million. Management believes that as of December 31, 2006, cost savings in excess of the original estimate have been achieved. The expense restructuring plan encompassed exit activities, including reducing the number of clients served, reducing the number of countries in which the Company operates, reducing headcount, and terminating operating leases. Almost all of the savings were realized in the area of selling, general and administrative expenses and only a small percentage of the Company's auditor staff was directly impacted by the reductions. See "- Operational Restructuring Expense" for more details regarding the operational restructuring.
Financial Restructuring
On October 19, 2005 the Board of Directors of the Company formed a Special Restructuring Committee to oversee the efforts of the Company, with the assistance of its financial advisor, Rothschild, Inc., to restructure the Company's financial obligations, including its obligations under its then existing convertible subordinated notes, and to improve the Company's liquidity. The restructuring was successfully completed on March 17, 2006.
Pursuant to the restructuring, the Company exchanged for $124.1 million of its existing convertible subordinated notes due November 2006 (and $1.8 million of accrued interest thereon) the following new securities: $51.5 million of new senior notes, $59.6 million of new senior convertible notes that may be converted into shares of common stock, and new Series A convertible preferred stock having an initial liquidation preference of $14.9 million. As of December 31, 2006, the outstanding Series A convertible preferred stock had a liquidation preference of $11.2 million. Concurrently with closing the exchange offer, the Company also refinanced its senior indebtedness. See "- Liquidity and Capital Resources - Financial Restructuring" for more details regarding the financial restructuting.
Critical Accounting Policies
"Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" includes a discussion of the Company's consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
The Company's significant accounting policies are more fully described in Note 1 of "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements" included in Item 8. of this Form 10-K. However, certain of the Company's accounting policies are particularly important to the portrayal of its financial position and results of operations and require the application of significant judgment by management. As a result, they are subject to an inherent degree of uncertainty. Accounting policies that involve the use of estimates that meet both of the following criteria are considered by management to be "critical" accounting policies. First, the accounting estimate requires the Company to make assumptions about matters that are highly uncertain at the time that the accounting estimate is made. Second, alternate estimates in the current period, or changes in the estimate that are reasonably likely in future periods, would have a material impact on the presentation of the Company's financial condition, changes in financial condition or results of operations.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Table of Contents
In addition to estimates that meet the "critical" estimate criteria, the Company also makes many other accounting estimates in preparing its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. All estimates, whether or not deemed critical, affect reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, as well as disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. On an on-going basis, management evaluates its estimates and judgments, including those related to revenue recognition, refund liabilities, accounts receivable allowance for doubtful accounts, goodwill and other intangible assets and income taxes. Management bases its estimates and judgments on historical experience, information available prior to the issuance of the consolidated financial statements and on various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. This information forms the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Materially different results can occur as circumstances change and additional information becomes known, including changes in those estimates not deemed "critical".
Management believes the following critical accounting policies, among others, involve its more significant estimates and judgments used in the preparation of its consolidated financial statements. The development and selection of accounting estimates, including those deemed "critical," and the associated disclosures in this Form 10-K have been discussed with the audit committee of the Board of Directors.
• Revenue Recognition. The Company recognizes revenue on the accrual basis except with respect to its Meridian VAT reclaim business, and certain international Accounts Payable Services units where revenue is recognized on the cash basis in accordance with guidance issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission in Staff Accounting Bulletin ("SAB") No. 104, Revenue Recognition. Revenue is generally recognized for a contractually specified percentage of amounts recovered when it has been determined that our clients have received economic value (generally through credits taken against existing accounts payable due to the involved vendors or refund checks received from those vendors), and when the following criteria are met:
(a) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (b) services have been rendered; (c) the fee billed to the client is fixed or determinable; and
(d) collectibility is reasonably assured. The determination that each of the aforementioned criteria has been met, particularly the determination of the timing of economic benefit received by the client and the determination that collectibility is reasonably assured, requires the application of significant judgment by management and a misapplication of this judgment could result in inappropriate recognition of revenue.
• Unbilled Receivables & Refund Liabilities. Unbilled receivables are usually contractual and relate to claims for which our client has received economic value. Unbilled receivables arise when a portion of the Company's fee is deferred at the time of the initial invoice. At a later date (which can be up to a year after original invoice, or a year after completion of the audit period), the unbilled receivable amount is invoiced. Notwithstanding the deferred due date, the Company and the client acknowledge that this unbilled receivable has been earned at the time of the original invoice, it just has a deferred due date.
• Refund liabilities result from reductions in the economic value previously received by the Company's clients with respect to vendor claims identified by the Company and for which the Company has previously recognized revenue. Such refund liabilities are recognized by either offsets to amounts otherwise due from clients or by cash refunds to clients. The Company computes the estimate of its refund liabilities at any given time based on actual historical refund data. A hypothetical 1% change in refund liabilities would have an impact on operating income of approximately $0.1 million.
Periodic changes in unbilled receivables and refund liabilities are recorded as adjustments to revenue.
• Accounts Receivable Allowance for Doubtful Accounts. The Company maintains allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability or unwillingness of its clients to make required payments. The Company evaluates the adequacy of these allowances on a periodic basis. This evaluation includes, but is not limited to, historical loss experience, the aging of current accounts receivable balances and provisions for adverse situations that may affect a client's ability to pay. If the evaluation of allowance requirements differs from the actual aggregate allowance, adjustments are made to the allowance. This evaluation is inherently subjective, as it requires estimates that are susceptible to revision as more information becomes available. If the financial condition of any of the Company's clients were to deteriorate, or their operating climates were to change, resulting in an impairment of either their ability or
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Table of Contents
willingness to make payments, additional allowances may be required. If the Company's estimate of required allowances for doubtful accounts is determined to be insufficient, it could result in decreased operating income in the period such determination is made. Conversely, if a client subsequently remits cash for an accounts receivable balance which has previously been written off, it could result in increased operating income in the period in which the payment is received. A hypothetical 1% change in the allowance for doubtful accounts would have an impact on operating income of less than $0.1 million.
• Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. During the fourth quarter of 2006, the Company, working with its independent valuation advisors, Adams Capital, LLC, completed the required annual impairment testing of goodwill and other intangible assets in accordance with SFAS No. 142. As a result of this testing, the Company concluded that there was no impairment of goodwill and other intangible assets.
During the fourth quarter of 2005, as part of its annual intangible asset impairment testing, the Company, together with its independent valuation advisors, Deloitte Financial Advisory Services LLP, performed valuation analyses of its goodwill balances as well as other intangible assets. As a result of this process, the Company determined that non-cash, pre-tax intangible asset impairment charges totaling $170.4 million were required during the quarter and year-ended December 31, 2005, in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. The Company's Accounts Payable Services segment had experienced its third consecutive year of significant declines in revenues and gross profit. The continuing downward trend in this segment was the single most important factor leading to the necessity of the impairment charge. This trend is also what necessitated the initiation of the implementation of the Company's operational restructuring plan in the third quarter of 2005.
• Income Taxes. The Company's reported effective tax rates on earnings
(loss) from continuing operations before income taxes and discontinued operations approximated (11.1)%, (0.4)%, and 12,114% for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively. The unusual 2005 rate is primarily attributable to the nondeductible portions of the impairment charges discussed above and the change in the deferred tax asset valuation allowance. The unusual 2006 and 2004 rates are primarily attributable to the changes in the deferred tax asset valuation allowance.
The Company's effective tax rate is based on historical and anticipated future taxable income, statutory tax rates and tax planning opportunities available to the Company in the various jurisdictions in which it operates. Significant judgment is required in determining the effective tax rate and in evaluating the Company's tax positions. Tax regulations require items to be included in the tax returns at different times than the items are reflected in the financial statements. As a result, the Company's effective tax rate reflected in its Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8. of this Form 10-K is different than that reported in its tax returns. Some of these differences are permanent, such as expenses that are not deductible on the Company's tax returns, and some are temporary differences, such as depreciation expense. Temporary differences create deferred tax assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets generally represent items that can be used as a tax deduction or credit in the Company's tax returns in future years for which it has already recorded the tax benefit in the statement of operations. The Company establishes valuation allowances to reduce deferred tax assets to the amounts that it believes are more likely than not to be realized. These valuation allowances are adjusted in light of changing facts and circumstances. Deferred tax liabilities generally represent tax expense recognized in the Company's consolidated financial statements for which payment has been deferred, or expense for which a deduction has already been taken on the Company's tax returns but has not yet been recognized as an expense in its consolidated financial statements.
SFAS No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes", requires that deferred tax assets be reduced by a valuation allowance if it is more likely than not that some portion or all of a deferred tax asset will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences are deductible. In making this determination, management considers all available positive and negative evidence affecting specific deferred tax assets, including the Company's past and anticipated future performance, the reversal of deferred tax liabilities, the length of carry-back and carry-forward periods, and the implementation of tax planning strategies.
Objective positive evidence is necessary to support a conclusion that a valuation allowance is not needed for all or a portion of deferred tax assets when significant negative evidence exists. Cumulative losses in
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Table of Contents
recent years are the most compelling form of negative evidence considered by management in this determination. In 2004, the Company recognized an increase in the valuation allowance against its remaining net deferred tax assets of $76.6 million. This increase was offset by the use of approximately $4.3 million of capital loss carry-forwards resulting in a net change in the valuation allowance of approximately $72.3 million. During 2005 the Company recorded an additional valuation allowance adjustment of $48.5 million, bringing the total valuation allowance balance to $139.6 million.
For the year ended December 31, 2006, management has determined that based on all available evidence, a valuation allowance of $79.5 million is appropriate, as compared to a valuation allowance in the amount of $139.6 million as of the year ended December 31, 2005. The reduction in the valuation allowance is primarily attributable to the write-off of a number of deferred tax assets as a result of an ownership change as defined in IRC
Section 382, and the corresponding limitations imposed on certain tax attributes as a result of this ownership change. The impact of IRC
Section 382 on the deferred tax assets of the Company is discussed in more detail in Note 10 of "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements" included in Item 8. of this Form 10-K.
• Stock-Based Compensation. The Company adopted the provisions of SFAS 123(R) in 2006. See "New Accounting Standards" below.

Accounts Payable Services
Revenues. Accounts Payable Services revenues for the years ended December 31,
2006, 2005 and 2004 were as follows (in millions):
2006 2005 2004
Domestic Accounts Payable Services revenue:
Retail $ 126.9 $ 137.3 $ 167.8
Commercial 13.5 17.1 33.5
140.4 154.4 201.3
International Accounts Payable Services revenue 85.5 97.2 107.9
Total Accounts Payable Services revenue $ 225.9 $ 251.6 $ 309.2
For the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, the Company continued to experience a decline in revenues for domestic retail/wholesale Accounts Payable Services. The decline in revenues is consistent with the revenue decline that the Company has been experiencing over the past several years and was primarily attributable to fewer claims being processed as a result of improved client processes. Revenues from both domestic and international operations decreased as the Company's clients developed and strengthened their own internal audit capabilities as a substitute for the Company's services. Further, the Company's clients made fewer transaction errors as a result of the training and methodologies provided by the Company as part of the Company's accounts payable recovery process. These trends are expected to continue, and as a result, revenues from the Accounts Payable Services segment are expected to continue to decline for the foreseeable future.
Revenues from the Company's domestic commercial Accounts Payable Services clients declined during 2006 and 2005, as well. The Company believes the market for providing disbursement audit services (which typically entail acquisition from the client of limited purchase data and an audit focus on a select few recovery categories) to commercial entities in the United States is declining with fewer audit starts and lower fee rates due to increasing pricing pressures. In response to the decline in performance for the commercial business, the Company continues to intentionally reduce the number of commercial clients serviced based on profitability, and this trend is expected to continue. As a result of the foregoing, revenues from domestic commercial Accounts Payable Services are expected to continue to decline for the foreseeable future.
The declines in domestic retail, domestic commercial and international Accounts Payable Services revenues in 2005 versus 2004 are likewise attributable to the same factors as discussed above.
The Company intends to maximize the revenue opportunities with each of its existing clients by identifying and auditing new categories of potential errors. The Company also intends to increase its emphasis on using its technology and professional experience to assist its clients in achieving objectives that do not directly involve recovery of past overpayments. These objectives are related to such things as transaction accuracy and compliance, purchasing effectiveness, M&A due diligence analysis, and processing efficiency in the procure-to-pay value chain.
In addition the Company will continue to focus on its business within the Health Care industry and in particular with the Medicare audit. In 2005, CMS, the federal agency that administers the Medicare program, awarded the Company a . . .

ITEM 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations
Introduction
The Company's revenues are based on specific contracts with its clients. Such contracts generally specify: (a) time periods covered by the audit; (b) nature and extent of audit services to be provided by the Company; (c) the client's duties in assisting and cooperating with the Company; and (d) fees payable to the Company, generally expressed as a specified percentage of the amounts recovered by the client resulting from overpayment claims identified. Clients generally recover claims by either taking credits against outstanding payables or future purchases from the involved vendors, or receiving refund checks directly from those vendors. The manner in which a claim is recovered by a client is often dictated by industry practice. In addition, many clients establish client-specific procedural guidelines that the Company must satisfy prior to submitting claims for client approval. For some services provided by the Company, client contracts provide for compensation to the Company in the form of a flat fee, or fee rate per hour, or per unit of usage for the rendering of that service.
The Company generally recognizes revenue on the accrual basis except with respect to its Meridian VAT reclaim business and certain international Accounts Payable Services units where revenue is recognized on the cash basis in accordance with guidance issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission in Staff Accounting Bulletin ("SAB") No. 104, "Revenue Recognition."

On September 30, 2005, the Company's Board of Directors approved the restructuring plan and authorized implementation of the plan. At the time the operational restructuring plan was approved, annualized savings from the restructuring plan were expected to be approximately $42.2 million. Management believes that as of December 31, 2006, cost savings in excess of the original estimate have been achieved. The expense restructuring plan encompassed exit activities, including reducing the number of clients served, reducing the number of countries in which the Company operates, reducing headcount, and terminating operating leases. Almost all of the savings were realized in the area of selling, general and administrative expenses and only a small percentage of the Company's auditor staff was directly impacted by the reductions. See "- Operational Restructuring Expense" for more details regarding the operational restructuring.
Financial Restructuring
On October 19, 2005 the Board of Directors of the Company formed a Special Restructuring Committee to oversee the efforts of the Company, with the assistance of its financial advisor, Rothschild, Inc., to restructure the Company's financial obligations, including its obligations under its then existing convertible subordinated notes, and to improve the Company's liquidity. The restructuring was successfully completed on March 17, 2006.
Pursuant to the restructuring, the Company exchanged for $124.1 million of its existing convertible subordinated notes due November 2006 (and $1.8 million of accrued interest thereon) the following new securities: $51.5 million of new senior notes, $59.6 million of new senior convertible notes that may be converted into shares of common stock, and new Series A convertible preferred stock having an initial liquidation preference of $14.9 million. As of December 31, 2006, the outstanding Series A convertible preferred stock had a liquidation preference of $11.2 million. Concurrently with closing the exchange offer, the Company also refinanced its senior indebtedness. See "- Liquidity and Capital Resources - Financial Restructuring" for more details regarding the financial restructuting.
Critical Accounting Policies
"Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" includes a discussion of the Company's consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
The Company's significant accounting policies are more fully described in Note 1 of "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements" included in Item 8. of this Form 10-K. However, certain of the Company's accounting policies are particularly important to the portrayal of its financial position and results of operations and require the application of significant judgment by management. As a result, they are subject to an inherent degree of uncertainty. Accounting policies that involve the use of estimates that meet both of the following criteria are considered by management to be "critical" accounting policies. First, the accounting estimate requires the Company to make assumptions about matters that are highly uncertain at the time that the accounting estimate is made. Second, alternate estimates in the current period, or changes in the estimate that are reasonably likely in future periods, would have a material impact on the presentation of the Company's financial condition, changes in financial condition or results of operations.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Table of Contents
In addition to estimates that meet the "critical" estimate criteria, the Company also makes many other accounting estimates in preparing its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. All estimates, whether or not deemed critical, affect reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, as well as disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. On an on-going basis, management evaluates its estimates and judgments, including those related to revenue recognition, refund liabilities, accounts receivable allowance for doubtful accounts, goodwill and other intangible assets and income taxes. Management bases its estimates and judgments on historical experience, information available prior to the issuance of the consolidated financial statements and on various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. This information forms the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Materially different results can occur as circumstances change and additional information becomes known, including changes in those estimates not deemed "critical".
Management believes the following critical accounting policies, among others, involve its more significant estimates and judgments used in the preparation of its consolidated financial statements. The development and selection of accounting estimates, including those deemed "critical," and the associated disclosures in this Form 10-K have been discussed with the audit committee of the Board of Directors.
• Revenue Recognition. The Company recognizes revenue on the accrual basis except with respect to its Meridian VAT reclaim business, and certain international Accounts Payable Services units where revenue is recognized on the cash basis in accordance with guidance issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission in Staff Accounting Bulletin ("SAB") No. 104, Revenue Recognition. Revenue is generally recognized for a contractually specified percentage of amounts recovered when it has been determined that our clients have received economic value (generally through credits taken against existing accounts payable due to the involved vendors or refund checks received from those vendors), and when the following criteria are met:
(a) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (b) services have been rendered; (c) the fee billed to the client is fixed or determinable; and
(d) collectibility is reasonably assured. The determination that each of the aforementioned criteria has been met, particularly the determination of the timing of economic benefit received by the client and the determination that collectibility is reasonably assured, requires the application of significant judgment by management and a misapplication of this judgment could result in inappropriate recognition of revenue.
• Unbilled Receivables & Refund Liabilities. Unbilled receivables are usually contractual and relate to claims for which our client has received economic value. Unbilled receivables arise when a portion of the Company's fee is deferred at the time of the initial invoice. At a later date (which can be up to a year after original invoice, or a year after completion of the audit period), the unbilled receivable amount is invoiced. Notwithstanding the deferred due date, the Company and the client acknowledge that this unbilled receivable has been earned at the time of the original invoice, it just has a deferred due date.
• Refund liabilities result from reductions in the economic value previously received by the Company's clients with respect to vendor claims identified by the Company and for which the Company has previously recognized revenue. Such refund liabilities are recognized by either offsets to amounts otherwise due from clients or by cash refunds to clients. The Company computes the estimate of its refund liabilities at any given time based on actual historical refund data. A hypothetical 1% change in refund liabilities would have an impact on operating income of approximately $0.1 million.
Periodic changes in unbilled receivables and refund liabilities are recorded as adjustments to revenue.
• Accounts Receivable Allowance for Doubtful Accounts. The Company maintains allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability or unwillingness of its clients to make required payments. The Company evaluates the adequacy of these allowances on a periodic basis. This evaluation includes, but is not limited to, historical loss experience, the aging of current accounts receivable balances and provisions for adverse situations that may affect a client's ability to pay. If the evaluation of allowance requirements differs from the actual aggregate allowance, adjustments are made to the allowance. This evaluation is inherently subjective, as it requires estimates that are susceptible to revision as more information becomes available. If the financial condition of any of the Company's clients were to deteriorate, or their operating climates were to change, resulting in an impairment of either their ability or
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Table of Contents
willingness to make payments, additional allowances may be required. If the Company's estimate of required allowances for doubtful accounts is determined to be insufficient, it could result in decreased operating income in the period such determination is made. Conversely, if a client subsequently remits cash for an accounts receivable balance which has previously been written off, it could result in increased operating income in the period in which the payment is received. A hypothetical 1% change in the allowance for doubtful accounts would have an impact on operating income of less than $0.1 million.
• Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. During the fourth quarter of 2006, the Company, working with its independent valuation advisors, Adams Capital, LLC, completed the required annual impairment testing of goodwill and other intangible assets in accordance with SFAS No. 142. As a result of this testing, the Company concluded that there was no impairment of goodwill and other intangible assets.
During the fourth quarter of 2005, as part of its annual intangible asset impairment testing, the Company, together with its independent valuation advisors, Deloitte Financial Advisory Services LLP, performed valuation analyses of its goodwill balances as well as other intangible assets. As a result of this process, the Company determined that non-cash, pre-tax intangible asset impairment charges totaling $170.4 million were required during the quarter and year-ended December 31, 2005, in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. The Company's Accounts Payable Services segment had experienced its third consecutive year of significant declines in revenues and gross profit. The continuing downward trend in this segment was the single most important factor leading to the necessity of the impairment charge. This trend is also what necessitated the initiation of the implementation of the Company's operational restructuring plan in the third quarter of 2005.
• Income Taxes. The Company's reported effective tax rates on earnings
(loss) from continuing operations before income taxes and discontinued operations approximated (11.1)%, (0.4)%, and 12,114% for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively. The unusual 2005 rate is primarily attributable to the nondeductible portions of the impairment charges discussed above and the change in the deferred tax asset valuation allowance. The unusual 2006 and 2004 rates are primarily attributable to the changes in the deferred tax asset valuation allowance.
The Company's effective tax rate is based on historical and anticipated future taxable income, statutory tax rates and tax planning opportunities available to the Company in the various jurisdictions in which it operates. Significant judgment is required in determining the effective tax rate and in evaluating the Company's tax positions. Tax regulations require items to be included in the tax returns at different times than the items are reflected in the financial statements. As a result, the Company's effective tax rate reflected in its Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8. of this Form 10-K is different than that reported in its tax returns. Some of these differences are permanent, such as expenses that are not deductible on the Company's tax returns, and some are temporary differences, such as depreciation expense. Temporary differences create deferred tax assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets generally represent items that can be used as a tax deduction or credit in the Company's tax returns in future years for which it has already recorded the tax benefit in the statement of operations. The Company establishes valuation allowances to reduce deferred tax assets to the amounts that it believes are more likely than not to be realized. These valuation allowances are adjusted in light of changing facts and circumstances. Deferred tax liabilities generally represent tax expense recognized in the Company's consolidated financial statements for which payment has been deferred, or expense for which a deduction has already been taken on the Company's tax returns but has not yet been recognized as an expense in its consolidated financial statements.
SFAS No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes", requires that deferred tax assets be reduced by a valuation allowance if it is more likely than not that some portion or all of a deferred tax asset will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences are deductible. In making this determination, management considers all available positive and negative evidence affecting specific deferred tax assets, including the Company's past and anticipated future performance, the reversal of deferred tax liabilities, the length of carry-back and carry-forward periods, and the implementation of tax planning strategies.
Objective positive evidence is necessary to support a conclusion that a valuation allowance is not needed for all or a portion of deferred tax assets when significant negative evidence exists. Cumulative losses in
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Table of Contents
recent years are the most compelling form of negative evidence considered by management in this determination. In 2004, the Company recognized an increase in the valuation allowance against its remaining net deferred tax assets of $76.6 million. This increase was offset by the use of approximately $4.3 million of capital loss carry-forwards resulting in a net change in the valuation allowance of approximately $72.3 million. During 2005 the Company recorded an additional valuation allowance adjustment of $48.5 million, bringing the total valuation allowance balance to $139.6 million.
For the year ended December 31, 2006, management has determined that based on all available evidence, a valuation allowance of $79.5 million is appropriate, as compared to a valuation allowance in the amount of $139.6 million as of the year ended December 31, 2005. The reduction in the valuation allowance is primarily attributable to the write-off of a number of deferred tax assets as a result of an ownership change as defined in IRC
Section 382, and the corresponding limitations imposed on certain tax attributes as a result of this ownership change. The impact of IRC
Section 382 on the deferred tax assets of the Company is discussed in more detail in Note 10 of "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements" included in Item 8. of this Form 10-K.
• Stock-Based Compensation. The Company adopted the provisions of SFAS 123(R) in 2006. See "New Accounting Standards" below.

Accounts Payable Services
Revenues. Accounts Payable Services revenues for the years ended December 31,
2006, 2005 and 2004 were as follows (in millions):
2006 2005 2004
Domestic Accounts Payable Services revenue:
Retail $ 126.9 $ 137.3 $ 167.8
Commercial 13.5 17.1 33.5
140.4 154.4 201.3
International Accounts Payable Services revenue 85.5 97.2 107.9
Total Accounts Payable Services revenue $ 225.9 $ 251.6 $ 309.2
For the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, the Company continued to experience a decline in revenues for domestic retail/wholesale Accounts Payable Services. The decline in revenues is consistent with the revenue decline that the Company has been experiencing over the past several years and was primarily attributable to fewer claims being processed as a result of improved client processes. Revenues from both domestic and international operations decreased as the Company's clients developed and strengthened their own internal audit capabilities as a substitute for the Company's services. Further, the Company's clients made fewer transaction errors as a result of the training and methodologies provided by the Company as part of the Company's accounts payable recovery process. These trends are expected to continue, and as a result, revenues from the Accounts Payable Services segment are expected to continue to decline for the foreseeable future.
Revenues from the Company's domestic commercial Accounts Payable Services clients declined during 2006 and 2005, as well. The Company believes the market for providing disbursement audit services (which typically entail acquisition from the client of limited purchase data and an audit focus on a select few recovery categories) to commercial entities in the United States is declining with fewer audit starts and lower fee rates due to increasing pricing pressures. In response to the decline in performance for the commercial business, the Company continues to intentionally reduce the number of commercial clients serviced based on profitability, and this trend is expected to continue. As a result of the foregoing, revenues from domestic commercial Accounts Payable Services are expected to continue to decline for the foreseeable future.
The declines in domestic retail, domestic commercial and international Accounts Payable Services revenues in 2005 versus 2004 are likewise attributable to the same factors as discussed above.
The Company intends to maximize the revenue opportunities with each of its existing clients by identifying and auditing new categories of potential errors. The Company also intends to increase its emphasis on using its technology and professional experience to assist its clients in achieving objectives that do not directly involve recovery of past overpayments. These objectives are related to such things as transaction accuracy and compliance, purchasing effectiveness, M&A due diligence analysis, and processing efficiency in the procure-to-pay value chain.
In addition the Company will continue to focus on its business within the Health Care industry and in particular with the Medicare audit. In 2005, CMS, the federal agency that administers the Medicare program, awarded the Company a . . .

Quarterly Report
Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations
Introduction
The Company's revenues are based on specific contracts with its clients. Such contracts generally specify: (a) time periods covered by the audit; (b) nature and extent of audit services to be provided by the Company; (c) the client's duties in assisting and cooperating with the Company; and (d) fees payable to the Company, generally expressed as a specified percentage of the amounts recovered by the client resulting from overpayment claims identified. Clients generally recover claims by either taking credits against outstanding payables or future purchases from the involved vendors, or receiving refund checks directly from those vendors. The manner in which a claim is recovered by a client is often dictated by industry practice. In addition, many clients establish client-specific procedural guidelines that the Company must satisfy prior to submitting claims for client approval. For some services provided by the Company, client contracts provide for compensation to the Company in the form of a flat fee, or fee rate per hour, or per unit of usage for the rendering of that service.
The Company generally recognizes revenue on the accrual basis except with respect to its Meridian VAT reclaim business and certain international Accounts Payable Services units where revenue is recognized on the cash basis in accordance with guidance issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission in Staff Accounting Bulletin ("SAB") No. 104, "Revenue Recognition." Revenue is generally recognized when invoiced. Invoicing typically occurs for a contractually specified percentage of amounts recovered when it has been determined that the client has received economic value (generally through credits taken against existing accounts payable due to the involved vendors or refund checks received from those vendors), and when the following criteria are met: (a) persuasive evidence of an existing contractual arrangement between the Company and the client exists; (b) services have been rendered; (c) the fee billed to the client is fixed or determinable; and (d) collectability is reasonably assured. In certain limited circumstances, the Company will invoice a client prior to meeting all four of these criteria. In those instances, revenue is deferred until all of the criteria are met. Historically, there has been a certain amount of revenue that, even though meeting the requirements of the Company's revenue recognition policy, relates to underlying claims ultimately rejected by the Company's clients' vendors. In that case, the Company's clients may request a refund of such amount. The Company records such refunds as a reduction of revenue.
The contingent fee based VAT reclaim division of the Company's Meridian business, along with certain other international Accounts Payable Services units, recognize revenue on the cash basis in accordance with guidance issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission in Staff Accounting Bulletin ("SAB") No. 104, "Revenue Recognition." Based on the guidance in SAB No. 104, Meridian defers recognition of contingent fee revenues to the accounting period in which cash is both received from the foreign governmental agencies reimbursing the VAT claims and transferred to Meridian's clients.
The Company derives a relatively small amount of revenues on a "fee-for-service" basis where revenue is based upon a flat fee, or fee per hour, or fee per unit of usage. The Company recognizes revenue for these types of services as they are provided and invoiced and when the revenue recognition criteria described above in clauses (a) through (d) have been satisfied.
On March 29, 2005, the Company announced that the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services ("CMS"), the federal agency that administers the Medicare program, awarded the Company a contract to provide recovery audit services for the State of California's Medicare spending. The three-year contract was effective on March 28, 2005. To fully address the range of payment recovery opportunities, the Company sub-contracted with Concentra Preferred Systems ("Concentra"), the nation's largest provider of specialized cost containment services for the healthcare industry, to add Concentra's clinical experience to the Company's expertise in recovery audit services.
The CMS contract was awarded as part of a demonstration program by CMS to recover overpayments through the use of recovery auditing. The Company began to incur capital expenditures and employee compensation costs related to this contract in 2005. Such capital expenditures and employee compensation costs will continue to be incurred during 2007 as the Company continues to build this business. Management remains optimistic that the audit of Medicare payments in California will make an important contribution to future earnings; however, the Company has only limited ability to influence the timing of the processing of identified claims by third party claims processors, and the Company's revenues from its Medicare audit efforts may vary significantly from period to period.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Table of Contents
In late 2006, legislation was passed that mandated that recovery audit of Medicare be extended beyond March 27, 2008, the end of the three-year recovery audit demonstration project under the original authorizing legislation, and that CMS enter into additional contracts with recovery audit contractors to expand recovery auditing of Medicare out to all fifty states by January 1, 2010. While it is difficult to assess the impact of this legislation, management believes it will provide additional opportunities to expand the Company's Medicare audit recovery business, and the Company is working to strengthen its Medicare auditing capabilities in preparation for these opportunities.
Critical Accounting Policies
The Company's significant accounting policies have been fully described in Note 1 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006. Certain of these accounting policies are considered "critical" to the portrayal of the Company's financial position and results of operations, as they require the application of significant judgment by management; as a result, they are subject to an inherent degree of uncertainty. These "critical" accounting policies are identified and discussed in the Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations section of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006. Management bases its estimates and judgments on historical experience and on various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates its estimates and judgments, including those considered "critical". The development, selection and evaluation of accounting estimates, including those deemed "critical," and the associated disclosures in this Form 10-Q have been discussed with the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors.
New Accounting Standards
In June 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Interpretation No. 48 "Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes - an Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109" ("FIN No. 48"). The Interpretation prescribes a "more-likely-than-not" recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The Interpretation also offers guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition. The Company adopted FIN 48 effective January 1, 2007. In accordance with FIN 48, paragraph 19, the Company's policy for recording interest and penalties associated with tax positions is to record such items as a component of income before taxes. As a result of the implementation of FIN 48, the Company recognized a $0.3 million increase in liability for unrecognized tax benefits, which was accounted for as an increase to the January 1, 2007 balance of accumulated deficit.
In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 157, "Fair Value Measurements" ("SFAS No. 157"). SFAS No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, with earlier application encouraged. Any amounts recognized upon adoption as a cumulative effect adjustment will be recorded to the opening balance of retained earnings (deficit) in the year of adoption. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting SFAS No. 157 on its consolidated financial statements.
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, "The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities - Including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115" ("SFAS No. 159"). This standard permits an entity to choose to measure certain financial assets and liabilities at fair value. SFAS No. 159 also revises provisions of SFAS No. 115 that apply to available-for-sale and trading securities. This statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The Company is currently evaluating the effect, if any, that the adoption of this pronouncement will have on its consolidated financial statements.

Quarter Ended March 31, 2007 Compared to the Quarter Ended March 31, 2006 Accounts Payable Services
Revenues. Accounts Payable Services revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006 were as follows (in millions):
2007 2006
Domestic Accounts Payable Services revenue $ 37.0 $ 34.7
International Accounts Payable Services revenue 20.0 21.0
Total Accounts Payable Services revenue $ 57.0 $ 55.7
For the quarter ended March 31, 2007 compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2006, total Accounts Payable Services revenues increased approximately 2.3%. Although the Company experienced this slight increase in first quarter 2007 revenues compared to the same period last year, the Company has experienced a trend of declining revenues in Accounts Payable Services for the past several years. Improvements by clients in their own internal processes and internal audit capabilities have contributed to the Company's recent historical trend of declining Accounts Payable Services revenues. The Company believes that the declining revenue trend in its core retail/wholesale accounts payable services is likely to continue for the foreseeable future, and as a result, the overall trend in revenues from the Accounts Payable Services as a whole is largely dependent on the Company's ability to generate additional revenues from its Medicare audit activities and its new services offerings.
The Company intends to maximize the revenue opportunities with each of its existing clients by identifying and auditing new categories of potential errors. The Company also intends to increase its emphasis on using its technology and professional experience to assist its clients in achieving objectives that do not directly involve recovery of past overpayments. These objectives are related to such things as transaction accuracy and compliance, purchasing effectiveness, M&A due diligence analysis, and processing efficiency in the procure-to-pay value chain.

In addition the Company will continue to focus on its business within the Health Care industry and in particular with the Medicare Audit. As discussed above, in late 2006, legislation was passed that mandated that recovery audit of Medicare be extended beyond March 27, 2008, the end of the three-year recovery audit demonstration project under the original authorizing legislation, and that CMS enter into additional contracts with recovery audit contractors to expand recovery auditing of Medicare out to all fifty states by January 1, 2010. While it is difficult to assess the impact of this legislation, management believes it will provide additional opportunities to expand the Company's Medicare audit recovery business, and the Company is working to strengthen its Medicare auditing capabilities in preparation for these opportunities.
Cost of Revenues ("COR"). COR consists principally of commissions paid or payable to the Company's auditors based primarily upon the level of overpayment recoveries, and compensation paid to various types of hourly workers and salaried operational managers. Also included in COR are other direct costs incurred by these personnel, including rental of non-headquarters offices, travel and entertainment, telephone, utilities, maintenance and supplies and clerical assistance. A significant portion of the components comprising COR for the Company's domestic Accounts Payable Services operations are variable and will increase or decrease with increases and decreases in revenues. The COR support bases for domestic retail and domestic commercial operations are not separately distinguishable and are not evaluated by management individually. The Company's international Accounts Payable Services also have a portion of their COR, although less than domestic Accounts Payable Services, that will vary with revenues. The lower variability is due to the predominant use of salaried auditor compensation plans in most emerging-market countries.
Accounts Payable Services COR for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006 were as follows (in millions):
2007 2006
Domestic Accounts Payable Services COR $ 21.8 $ 23.6
International Accounts Payable Services COR 15.5 16.3
Total Accounts Payable Services COR $ 37.3 $ 39.9
On a percentage basis, COR as a percentage of revenues from the Accounts Payable services decreased to 65.4% for the three months ended March 31, 2007 compared to 71.6% in 2006. The improvement is primarily related to the fact that the 2007 first quarter is the first quarter that reflects the full implementation of the 2005 operational restructuring plan that was still being implemented during the first half of 2006. In addition, the improvement also reflects the initial impact from the 2006 fourth quarter headcount reductions that were primarily targeted at reducing COR expenses.
Selling, General, and Administrative Expenses ("SG&A"). SG&A expenses include the expenses of sales and marketing activities, information technology services and the corporate data center, human resources, legal, accounting, administration, currency translation, headquarters-related depreciation of property and equipment and amortization of intangibles with finite lives. The SG&A support bases for domestic retail and domestic commercial operations are not separately distinguishable and are not evaluated by management individually. Due to the relatively fixed nature of the Company's SG&A expenses, these expenses as a percentage of revenues can vary markedly period to period based on fluctuations in revenues.

Table of Contents
Accounts Payable Services SG&A for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006 were as follows (in millions):
2007 2006
Domestic Accounts Payable Services SG&A $ 3.6 $ 5.8
International Accounts Payable Services SG&A 2.7 3.3
Total Accounts Payable Services SG&A $ 6.3 $ 9.1
SG&A expenses decreased by $2.8 million or 30.8% for the Company's Accounts Payable Services operations, when compared to the same period of 2006. This reduction was primarily related to the fact that the 2007 first quarter is the first quarter that reflects the full implementation of the Company's 2005 operational restructuring plan that was still being implemented during the first half of 2006. As a percentage of revenue, first quarter 2007 SG&A was 11.1% as compared to 16.3% in the first quarter of 2006.
Meridian
Meridian's operating income for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006 were as follows (in millions):
2007 2006
Revenues $ 9.9 $ 9.8
Cost of revenues 8.2 7.4
Selling, general and administrative expenses 1.1 0.9
Operating income $ 0.6 $ 1.5
Revenues. Meridian recognizes revenue in its contingent fee based VAT reclaim operations on the cash basis in accordance with SAB No. 104. Based on the guidance in SAB No. 104, Meridian defers recognition of revenues to the accounting period in which cash is both received from the foreign governmental agencies reimbursing VAT claims and transferred to Meridian's clients. Since Meridian has minimal influence over when the foreign governmental agencies make their respective VAT reimbursement payments, Meridian's revenues can vary markedly from period to period.
Revenue generated by Meridian increased by $0.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007 when compared to the same period of 2006 due to a combination of timing of cash receipts and the exchange rate impact relating to the strengthening of the Euro to the US dollar. In addition to its contingency fee based VAT reclaim services, Meridian offers a number of other business services such as services on a fee for service basis, accounts payable and employee expense processing for third parties, tax return processing for governmental departments, and Local Agent Services Division ("LASD") services. The revenues from these services totaled $ 1.4 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2007 as compared to $ 1.0 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2006.
COR. COR consists principally of compensation paid to various types of hourly workers and salaried operational managers. Also included in COR are other direct costs incurred by these personnel, including rental of offices, travel and entertainment, telephone, utilities, maintenance and supplies and clerical assistance. COR for the Company's Meridian operations are largely fixed and, for the most part, will not vary significantly with changes in revenue.
COR for the quarter ended March 31, 2007 was $8.2 million as compared to $7.4 million for the same period in the prior year. The increase was primarily due to the exchange rate impact of the strengthening of the Euro to the US dollar.
SG&A. Meridian's SG&A expenses include the expenses of marketing activities, administration, professional services, property rentals and currency translation. Due to the relatively fixed nature of Meridian's SG&A expenses, these expenses as a percentage of revenues can vary markedly period to period based on fluctuations in revenues.
Meridian's SG&A for the quarter ended March 31, 2007 compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2006 increased by $0.2 million. This increase was primarily due to the exchange rate impact of the strengthening of the Euro to the US dollar.

Corporate Support
SG&A. SG&A expenses include the expenses of sales and marketing activities, information technology services associated with the corporate data center, human resources, legal, accounting, administration, currency translation, headquarters-related depreciation of property and equipment and amortization of intangibles with finite lives. Due to the relatively fixed nature of the Company's Corporate Support SG&A expenses, these expenses as a percentage of revenues can vary markedly period to period based on fluctuations in revenues. Corporate support represents the unallocated portion of corporate SG&A expenses not specifically attributable to Accounts Payable Services or Meridian and totaled the following for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006 (in millions):
2007 2006 Selling, general and administrative expenses $ 7.3 $ 4.9
Corporate Support SG&A expenses increased by $2.4 million or 49.0% for the Corporate Support operations, when compared to the same period of 2006. This increase was primarily related to approximately $2.7 million of SFAS No. 123R compensation expense that was recorded in the first quarter of 2007 as compared to approximately $0.4 million during the first quarter of 2006. Excluding the impact of SFAS No. 123R compensation expense, the Corporate Support expenses for the quarter are basically flat year over year.
Operational Restructuring Expense
On August 19, 2005, the Company announced that it had taken the initial step in implementing an operational restructuring plan, necessitated by the Company's declining revenue trend over the previous two and one-half years. On September 30, 2005, the Company's Board of Directors approved the restructuring plan and authorized implementation of the plan. The operational restructuring plan encompassed exit activities, including reducing the number of clients served, reducing the number of countries in which the Company operates, reducing headcount, and terminating operating leases. Almost all of the savings were realized in the area of selling, general and administrative expenses and only a small percentage of the Company's auditor staff was directly impacted by the reductions.
The restructuring expense for the periods ending March 31, 2007 and 2006 was as follows (in millions):
2007 2006 Restructuring expense $ 0.0 $ 0.4
As of December 31, 2006, the operational restructuring plan as originally contemplated and approved in 2005 had essentially been completed. Management plans to continue to diligently manage costs on an ongoing basis.
Financial Restructuring
On October 19, 2005, the Board of Directors of the Company formed a Special Restructuring Committee to oversee the efforts of the Company, with the assistance of its financial advisor, Rothschild, Inc., to restructure the Company's financial obligations, including its obligations under its then existing convertible subordinated notes, and to improve the Company's liquidity. The restructuring was successfully completed on March 17, 2006.
Pursuant to the restructuring, the Company exchanged for $124.1 million of its existing convertible subordinated notes due November 2006 (and $1.8 million of accrued interest thereon) the following new securities: $51.5 million of new senior notes, $59.6 million of new senior convertible notes that may be converted into shares of common stock, and new Series A convertible preferred stock having an initial liquidation preference of $14.9 million. As of March 31, 2007, the outstanding Series A convertible preferred stock had a liquidation preference of $8.9 million. Concurrently with closing the exchange offer, the Company also refinanced its senior indebtedness.
As a part of its financial restructuring, the Company also entered into a new senior secured credit facility with Ableco LLC ("Ableco") and The CIT/Group/Business Credit, Inc., a portion of which was syndicated to the Company's prior bridge financing lenders, Petrus Securities L.P. and Parkcentral Global Hub Limited (collectively, the "Petrus Entities") and Blum Strategic Partners II GmbH & Co. K.G. and Blum Strategic Partners II, L.P. (collectively, the "Blum Entities"). An affiliate of the Blum Entities was a member of the Ad Hoc Committee of

noteholders of the Company's convertible subordinated notes due November 2006, with the right to designate one member of the Company's Board of Directors, and together with its affiliates, is the Company's largest shareholder. The new credit facility included (1) a $25.0 million term loan, and (2) a revolving credit facility that provides for revolving loan borrowings of up to $20 million. No borrowings are currently outstanding under the revolving credit facility.
During the first quarter of 2007, 19,249 shares of Series A preferred stock and $0.6 million in principal amount of senior convertible notes were converted into 945,028 shares of common stock. Also during the first quarter of 2007, the Company repaid $9.6 million of the term loan. No borrowings are currently outstanding under the revolving credit facility. As of March 31, 2007, the revolving credit facility had approximately $16.3 million of calculated availability.
Discontinued Operations
During the fourth quarter of 2005, the Company classified its Channel Revenue and Airline businesses, and the Accounts Payable Service business units in South Africa and Japan, as discontinued operations. The Company's Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements reflect the results of these businesses as discontinued operations for all periods presented. The carrying values of the . . .

Quarterly Report
Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations
Introduction
The Company's revenues are based on specific contracts with its clients. Such contracts generally specify: (a) time periods covered by the audit; (b) nature and extent of audit services to be provided by the Company; (c) the client's duties in assisting and cooperating with the Company; and (d) fees payable to the Company, generally expressed as a specified percentage of the amounts recovered by the client resulting from overpayment claims identified. Clients generally recover claims by either taking credits against outstanding payables or future purchases from the involved vendors, or receiving refund checks directly from those vendors. The manner in which a claim is recovered by a client is often dictated by industry practice. In addition, many clients establish client-specific procedural guidelines that the Company must satisfy prior to submitting claims for client approval. For some services provided by the Company, client contracts provide for compensation to the Company in the form of a flat fee, or fee rate per hour, or per unit of usage for the rendering of that service.
The Company generally recognizes revenue on the accrual basis except with respect to its Meridian VAT reclaim business and certain international Accounts Payable Services units where revenue is recognized on the cash basis in accordance with guidance issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission in Staff Accounting Bulletin ("SAB") No. 104, "Revenue Recognition." Revenue is generally recognized when invoiced. Invoicing typically occurs for a contractually specified percentage of amounts recovered when it has been determined that the client has received economic value (generally through credits taken against existing accounts payable due to the involved vendors or refund checks received from those vendors), and when the following criteria are met: (a) persuasive evidence of an existing contractual arrangement between the Company and the client exists; (b) services have been rendered; (c) the fee billed to the client is fixed or determinable; and (d) collectability is reasonably assured. In certain limited circumstances, the Company will invoice a client prior to meeting all four of these criteria. In those instances, revenue is deferred until all of the criteria are met. Historically, there has been a certain amount of revenue that, even though meeting the requirements of the Company's revenue recognition policy, relates to underlying claims ultimately rejected by the Company's clients' vendors. In that case, the Company's clients may request a refund of such amount. The Company records such refunds as a reduction of revenue.
The contingent fee based VAT reclaim division of the Company's Meridian business, along with certain other international Accounts Payable Services units, recognize revenue on the cash basis in accordance with guidance issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission in Staff Accounting Bulletin ("SAB") No. 104, "Revenue Recognition." Based on the guidance in SAB No. 104, Meridian defers recognition of contingent fee revenues to the accounting period in which cash is both received from the foreign governmental agencies reimbursing the VAT claims and transferred to Meridian's clients.
The Company derives a relatively small amount of revenues on a "fee-for-service" basis where revenue is based upon a flat fee, or fee per hour, or fee per unit of usage. The Company recognizes revenue for these types of services as they are provided and invoiced and when the revenue recognition criteria described above in clauses (a) through (d) have been satisfied.
On March 29, 2005, the Company announced that the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services ("CMS"), the federal agency that administers the Medicare program, awarded the Company a contract to provide recovery audit services for the State of California's Medicare spending. The three-year contract was effective on March 28, 2005. To fully address the range of payment recovery opportunities, the Company sub-contracted with Concentra Preferred Systems ("Concentra"), the nation's largest provider of specialized cost containment services for the healthcare industry, to add Concentra's clinical experience to the Company's expertise in recovery audit services.
The CMS contract was awarded as part of a demonstration program by CMS to recover overpayments through the use of recovery auditing. The Company began to incur capital expenditures and employee compensation costs related to this contract in 2005. Such capital expenditures and employee compensation costs will continue to be incurred during 2007 as the Company continues to build this business. Management remains optimistic that the audit of Medicare payments in California will make an important contribution to future earnings; however, the Company has only limited ability to influence the timing of the processing of identified claims by third party claims processors, and the Company's revenues from its Medicare audit efforts may vary significantly from period to period.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In late 2006, legislation was passed that mandated that recovery audit of Medicare be extended beyond March 27, 2008, the end of the three-year recovery audit demonstration project under the original authorizing legislation, and that CMS enter into additional contracts with recovery audit contractors to expand recovery auditing of Medicare out to all fifty states by January 1, 2010. While it is difficult to assess the impact of this legislation, management believes it will provide additional opportunities to expand the Company's Medicare audit recovery business, and the Company is working to strengthen its Medicare auditing capabilities in preparation for these opportunities.
Critical Accounting Policies
The Company's significant accounting policies have been fully described in Note 1 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006. Certain of these accounting policies are considered "critical" to the portrayal of the Company's financial position and results of operations, as they require the application of significant judgment by management; as a result, they are subject to an inherent degree of uncertainty. These "critical" accounting policies are identified and discussed in the Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations section of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006. Management bases its estimates and judgments on historical experience and on various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates its estimates and judgments, including those considered "critical". The development, selection and evaluation of accounting estimates, including those deemed "critical," and the associated disclosures in this Form 10-Q have been discussed with the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors.
New Accounting Standards
In June 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Interpretation No. 48 "Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes - an Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109" ("FIN No. 48"). The Interpretation prescribes a "more-likely-than-not" recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The Interpretation also offers guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition. The Company adopted FIN 48 effective January 1, 2007. In accordance with FIN 48, paragraph 19, the Company's policy for recording interest and penalties associated with tax positions is to record such items as a component of income before taxes. As a result of the implementation of FIN 48, the Company recognized a $0.3 million increase in liability for unrecognized tax benefits, which was accounted for as an increase to the January 1, 2007 balance of accumulated deficit.
In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 157, "Fair Value Measurements" ("SFAS No. 157"). SFAS No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, with earlier application encouraged. Any amounts recognized upon adoption as a cumulative effect adjustment will be recorded to the opening balance of retained earnings (deficit) in the year of adoption. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting SFAS No. 157 on its consolidated financial statements.
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, "The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities - Including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115" ("SFAS No. 159"). This standard permits an entity to choose to measure certain financial assets and liabilities at fair value. SFAS No. 159 also revises provisions of SFAS No. 115 that apply to available-for-sale and trading securities. This statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The Company is currently evaluating the effect, if any, that the adoption of this pronouncement will have on its consolidated financial statements.

Quarter Ended March 31, 2007 Compared to the Quarter Ended March 31, 2006 Accounts Payable Services
Revenues. Accounts Payable Services revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006 were as follows (in millions):
2007 2006
Domestic Accounts Payable Services revenue $ 37.0 $ 34.7
International Accounts Payable Services revenue 20.0 21.0
Total Accounts Payable Services revenue $ 57.0 $ 55.7
For the quarter ended March 31, 2007 compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2006, total Accounts Payable Services revenues increased approximately 2.3%. Although the Company experienced this slight increase in first quarter 2007 revenues compared to the same period last year, the Company has experienced a trend of declining revenues in Accounts Payable Services for the past several years. Improvements by clients in their own internal processes and internal audit capabilities have contributed to the Company's recent historical trend of declining Accounts Payable Services revenues. The Company believes that the declining revenue trend in its core retail/wholesale accounts payable services is likely to continue for the foreseeable future, and as a result, the overall trend in revenues from the Accounts Payable Services as a whole is largely dependent on the Company's ability to generate additional revenues from its Medicare audit activities and its new services offerings.
The Company intends to maximize the revenue opportunities with each of its existing clients by identifying and auditing new categories of potential errors. The Company also intends to increase its emphasis on using its technology and professional experience to assist its clients in achieving objectives that do not directly involve recovery of past overpayments. These objectives are related to such things as transaction accuracy and compliance, purchasing effectiveness, M&A due diligence analysis, and processing efficiency in the procure-to-pay value chain.

In addition the Company will continue to focus on its business within the Health Care industry and in particular with the Medicare Audit. As discussed above, in late 2006, legislation was passed that mandated that recovery audit of Medicare be extended beyond March 27, 2008, the end of the three-year recovery audit demonstration project under the original authorizing legislation, and that CMS enter into additional contracts with recovery audit contractors to expand recovery auditing of Medicare out to all fifty states by January 1, 2010. While it is difficult to assess the impact of this legislation, management believes it will provide additional opportunities to expand the Company's Medicare audit recovery business, and the Company is working to strengthen its Medicare auditing capabilities in preparation for these opportunities.
Cost of Revenues ("COR"). COR consists principally of commissions paid or payable to the Company's auditors based primarily upon the level of overpayment recoveries, and compensation paid to various types of hourly workers and salaried operational managers. Also included in COR are other direct costs incurred by these personnel, including rental of non-headquarters offices, travel and entertainment, telephone, utilities, maintenance and supplies and clerical assistance. A significant portion of the components comprising COR for the Company's domestic Accounts Payable Services operations are variable and will increase or decrease with increases and decreases in revenues. The COR support bases for domestic retail and domestic commercial operations are not separately distinguishable and are not evaluated by management individually. The Company's international Accounts Payable Services also have a portion of their COR, although less than domestic Accounts Payable Services, that will vary with revenues. The lower variability is due to the predominant use of salaried auditor compensation plans in most emerging-market countries.
Accounts Payable Services COR for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006 were as follows (in millions):
2007 2006
Domestic Accounts Payable Services COR $ 21.8 $ 23.6
International Accounts Payable Services COR 15.5 16.3
Total Accounts Payable Services COR $ 37.3 $ 39.9
On a percentage basis, COR as a percentage of revenues from the Accounts Payable services decreased to 65.4% for the three months ended March 31, 2007 compared to 71.6% in 2006. The improvement is primarily related to the fact that the 2007 first quarter is the first quarter that reflects the full implementation of the 2005 operational restructuring plan that was still being implemented during the first half of 2006. In addition, the improvement also reflects the initial impact from the 2006 fourth quarter headcount reductions that were primarily targeted at reducing COR expenses.
Selling, General, and Administrative Expenses ("SG&A"). SG&A expenses include the expenses of sales and marketing activities, information technology services and the corporate data center, human resources, legal, accounting, administration, currency translation, headquarters-related depreciation of property and equipment and amortization of intangibles with finite lives. The SG&A support bases for domestic retail and domestic commercial operations are not separately distinguishable and are not evaluated by management individually. Due to the relatively fixed nature of the Company's SG&A expenses, these expenses as a percentage of revenues can vary markedly period to period based on fluctuations in revenues.

Accounts Payable Services SG&A for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006 were as follows (in millions):
2007 2006
Domestic Accounts Payable Services SG&A $ 3.6 $ 5.8
International Accounts Payable Services SG&A 2.7 3.3
Total Accounts Payable Services SG&A $ 6.3 $ 9.1
SG&A expenses decreased by $2.8 million or 30.8% for the Company's Accounts Payable Services operations, when compared to the same period of 2006. This reduction was primarily related to the fact that the 2007 first quarter is the first quarter that reflects the full implementation of the Company's 2005 operational restructuring plan that was still being implemented during the first half of 2006. As a percentage of revenue, first quarter 2007 SG&A was 11.1% as compared to 16.3% in the first quarter of 2006.

Revenues $ 9.9 $ 9.8
Cost of revenues 8.2 7.4
Selling, general and administrative expenses 1.1 0.9
Operating income $ 0.6 $ 1.5
Revenues. Meridian recognizes revenue in its contingent fee based VAT reclaim operations on the cash basis in accordance with SAB No. 104. Based on the guidance in SAB No. 104, Meridian defers recognition of revenues to the accounting period in which cash is both received from the foreign governmental agencies reimbursing VAT claims and transferred to Meridian's clients. Since Meridian has minimal influence over when the foreign governmental agencies make their respective VAT reimbursement payments, Meridian's revenues can vary markedly from period to period.
Revenue generated by Meridian increased by $0.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007 when compared to the same period of 2006 due to a combination of timing of cash receipts and the exchange rate impact relating to the strengthening of the Euro to the US dollar. In addition to its contingency fee based VAT reclaim services, Meridian offers a number of other business services such as services on a fee for service basis, accounts payable and employee expense processing for third parties, tax return processing for governmental departments, and Local Agent Services Division ("LASD") services. The revenues from these services totaled $ 1.4 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2007 as compared to $ 1.0 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2006.
COR. COR consists principally of compensation paid to various types of hourly workers and salaried operational managers. Also included in COR are other direct costs incurred by these personnel, including rental of offices, travel and entertainment, telephone, utilities, maintenance and supplies and clerical assistance. COR for the Company's Meridian operations are largely fixed and, for the most part, will not vary significantly with changes in revenue.
COR for the quarter ended March 31, 2007 was $8.2 million as compared to $7.4 million for the same period in the prior year. The increase was primarily due to the exchange rate impact of the strengthening of the Euro to the US dollar.
SG&A. Meridian's SG&A expenses include the expenses of marketing activities, administration, professional services, property rentals and currency translation. Due to the relatively fixed nature of Meridian's SG&A expenses, these expenses as a percentage of revenues can vary markedly period to period based on fluctuations in revenues.
Meridian's SG&A for the quarter ended March 31, 2007 compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2006 increased by $0.2 million. This increase was primarily due to the exchange rate impact of the strengthening of the Euro to the US dollar.

Corporate Support
SG&A. SG&A expenses include the expenses of sales and marketing activities, information technology services associated with the corporate data center, human resources, legal, accounting, administration, currency translation, headquarters-related depreciation of property and equipment and amortization of intangibles with finite lives. Due to the relatively fixed nature of the Company's Corporate Support SG&A expenses, these expenses as a percentage of revenues can vary markedly period to period based on fluctuations in revenues. Corporate support represents the unallocated portion of corporate SG&A expenses not specifically attributable to Accounts Payable Services or Meridian and totaled the following for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006 (in millions):
2007 2006 Selling, general and administrative expenses $ 7.3 $ 4.9
Corporate Support SG&A expenses increased by $2.4 million or 49.0% for the Corporate Support operations, when compared to the same period of 2006. This increase was primarily related to approximately $2.7 million of SFAS No. 123R compensation expense that was recorded in the first quarter of 2007 as compared to approximately $0.4 million during the first quarter of 2006. Excluding the impact of SFAS No. 123R compensation expense, the Corporate Support expenses for the quarter are basically flat year over year.
Operational Restructuring Expense
On August 19, 2005, the Company announced that it had taken the initial step in implementing an operational restructuring plan, necessitated by the Company's declining revenue trend over the previous two and one-half years. On September 30, 2005, the Company's Board of Directors approved the restructuring plan and authorized implementation of the plan. The operational restructuring plan encompassed exit activities, including reducing the number of clients served, reducing the number of countries in which the Company operates, reducing headcount, and terminating operating leases. Almost all of the savings were realized in the area of selling, general and administrative expenses and only a small percentage of the Company's auditor staff was directly impacted by the reductions.
The restructuring expense for the periods ending March 31, 2007 and 2006 was as follows (in millions):
2007 2006 Restructuring expense $ 0.0 $ 0.4
As of December 31, 2006, the operational restructuring plan as originally contemplated and approved in 2005 had essentially been completed. Management plans to continue to diligently manage costs on an ongoing basis.
Financial Restructuring
On October 19, 2005, the Board of Directors of the Company formed a Special Restructuring Committee to oversee the efforts of the Company, with the assistance of its financial advisor, Rothschild, Inc., to restructure the Company's financial obligations, including its obligations under its then existing convertible subordinated notes, and to improve the Company's liquidity. The restructuring was successfully completed on March 17, 2006.
Pursuant to the restructuring, the Company exchanged for $124.1 million of its existing convertible subordinated notes due November 2006 (and $1.8 million of accrued interest thereon) the following new securities: $51.5 million of new senior notes, $59.6 million of new senior convertible notes that may be converted into shares of common stock, and new Series A convertible preferred stock having an initial liquidation preference of $14.9 million. As of March 31, 2007, the outstanding Series A convertible preferred stock had a liquidation preference of $8.9 million. Concurrently with closing the exchange offer, the Company also refinanced its senior indebtedness.
As a part of its financial restructuring, the Company also entered into a new senior secured credit facility with Ableco LLC ("Ableco") and The CIT/Group/Business Credit, Inc., a portion of which was syndicated to the Company's prior bridge financing lenders, Petrus Securities L.P. and Parkcentral Global Hub Limited (collectively, the "Petrus Entities") and Blum Strategic Partners II GmbH & Co. K.G. and Blum Strategic Partners II, L.P. (collectively, the "Blum Entities"). An affiliate of the Blum Entities was a member of the Ad Hoc Committee of

No borrowings are currently outstanding under the revolving credit facility.
During the first quarter of 2007, 19,249 shares of Series A preferred stock and $0.6 million in principal amount of senior convertible notes were converted into 945,028 shares of common stock. Also during the first quarter of 2007, the Company repaid $9.6 million of the term loan. No borrowings are currently outstanding under the revolving credit facility. As of March 31, 2007, the revolving credit facility had approximately $16.3 million of calculated availability.
Discontinued Operations
During the fourth quarter of 2005, the Company classified its Channel Revenue and Airline businesses, and the Accounts Payable Service business units in South Africa and Japan, as discontinued operations.

Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
The information set forth under Item 8.01 regarding the Amended and Restated Standstill Agreement dated July 16, 2007 is incorporated by reference into this Item 1.01.
Item 8.01 Other Events.
PRG-Schultz International, Inc. ("PRG" or the "Company") intends to undertake a refinancing whereby PRG will refinance portions of its capital structure to reduce its leverage and to simplify its capital structure. In connection with the proposed refinancing, PRG intends to replace its existing credit facility, redeem its 11% Senior Notes (the "Senior Notes") and redeem, to the extent not previously converted into the Company's common stock, its 10% Senior Convertible Notes (the "Convertible Notes") and its 9% Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (the "Preferred Stock"). PRG intends to solicit consents from holders of the Senior Notes and the Convertible Notes to amend the indentures governing those notes to shorten the time period necessary to complete the refinancing. In connection with the proposed refinancing, PRG has entered into a Conversion and Support Agreement (the "Support Agreement") with Blum Capital Partners, L.P. and certain of its affiliates (collectively "Blum"). Under the terms of the Support Agreement, Blum has agreed, subject to certain terms and conditions, to support the proposed refinancing by providing its consent in connection with the Company's consent solicitation to amend the indentures governing the Senior Notes and the Convertible Notes and, if called for redemption by the Company, to convert all of the Convertible Notes and shares of Preferred Stock it owns into shares of the Company's common stock. In addition, Blum has agreed, as a lender under PRG's current credit facility, to support, if necessary, any amendment to or waiver of the relevant provisions of the credit facility, to permit the simultaneous redemption of the notes. Blum currently holds approximately 28% of the outstanding Senior Notes, approximately 31% of the outstanding Convertible Notes and approximately 57% of the outstanding shares of Preferred Stock. As consideration for the Support Agreement, on July 16, 2007, PRG entered into an Amended and Restated Standstill Agreement (the "New Standstill Agreement") with Blum. Upon effectiveness, the New Standstill Agreement will replace and supersede the Amended and Restated Standstill Agreement dated November 14, 2005 between the Company and Blum (the "Old Standstill Agreement"). Under the terms of the New Standstill Agreement, without the prior written consent of the board of directors of PRG, Blum may not acquire or offer, make a proposal or agree to acquire, in any manner, any voting stock of the Company or its subsidiaries (or beneficial ownership thereof) if, after taking account of such acquisition, Blum will be the beneficial owner of more than 49.9% of the Company's common stock. Previously, under the terms of the Old Standstill Agreement, Blum was generally prohibited from beneficially acquiring any additional shares of the Company's common stock and such limitation was lowered, on a share-for-share basis, every time Blum disposed of any shares. If the Company completes the refinancing and, in connection therewith, all of the Company's outstanding Convertible Notes and shares of Preferred Stock are converted into shares of the Company's common stock, it is anticipated that Blum's beneficial ownership will be approximately 25%. The Company has also agreed under the New Standstill Agreement to amend its Shareholder Protection Rights Agreement to make a corresponding change to Blum's ownership limitations set forth therein.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In addition, the New Standstill Agreement does not include any limitations on Blum's voting of the shares of Company's common stock and the Preferred Stock. Under the Old Standstill Agreement, any shares owned by Blum in excess of 15% of the Company's outstanding voting power (combining the voting power of the Common Stock and the Preferred Stock) were required to be voted by Blum in accordance with the recommendation of PRG's board of directors.
The New Standstill Agreement will not become effective until PRG has received consent from the lenders under its current credit facility to enter into the agreement and the earlier of (A) the holders of the Senior Notes waive certain prohibitions under the Senior Notes indenture, to the extent they apply, that would otherwise prohibit the Company from amending the Old Standstill Agreement or (B) the Company's obligations under the Senior Notes indenture are terminated.
A copy of the New Standstill Agreement is filed with this Current Report as Exhibit 10.1 and is incorporated herein by reference. Forward Looking Statements
This Current Report includes certain forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, in addition to historical information. Such statements include both implied and express statements regarding the Company's proposed refinancing, including replacing the Company's current credit facility and the redemption of the Senior Notes, the Convertible Notes and the Preferred Stock, the solicitation of consents to amend the indentures governing the Senior Notes and the Convertible Notes, the conversion of the Convertible Notes and the Preferred Stock into shares of the Company's common stock and Blum's anticipated beneficial ownership of the Company's common stock following any such refinancing. Such forward looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause the actual events, results, performance or achievements of the Company to differ materially from the historical results or from any results expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Risks that could affect the Company's future performance include the Company's ability to obtain a new credit facility on terms and conditions acceptable to the Company, market conditions relative to the Company's common stock that could affect the conversion of the Convertible Notes and the Preferred Stock and other risks generally applicable to the Company's business.

PRG-Schultz Announces Second Quarter 2007 Financial Results
Wednesday August 1, 6:40 pm ET
ATLANTA--(BUSINESS WIRE)--PRG-Schultz International, Inc. (Nasdaq:PRGX - News), the world's largest recovery audit firm, today announced its unaudited financial results for the second quarter and six months ended June 30, 2007.
Highlights of Financial Results
Net earnings for the 2007 second quarter were $18.6 million or $2.02 per basic and diluted share, compared to a net loss of $3.6 million, or $(0.62) per basic and diluted share for the same period in 2006. The second quarter 2007 net earnings included a gain on the sale of the Company's Meridian business unit of approximately $19.5 million, earnings from discontinued operations of $0.2 million and a $2.7 million charge for stock-based compensation. The second quarter 2006 net loss included a charge of $0.4 million for stock-based compensation and an operational restructuring charge of $1.6 million.
Adjusted EBITDA for the 2007 second quarter was $8.2 million compared to $5.5 million of adjusted EBITDA for the same period in 2006. The 2007 second quarter adjusted EBITDA is earnings (loss) from continuing operations before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) excluding the $2.7 million charge for stock-based compensation. Adjusted EBITDA also does not include the $19.5 million gain on the sale of the Meridian business and the earnings from discontinued operations of $0.2 million. The comparable adjusted EBITDA amount for the second quarter of 2006 excludes from EBITDA for such period the charge of $0.4 million related to stock-based compensation and an operational restructuring charge of $1.6 million. (Schedule 3 attached to this press release provides a reconciliation of net earnings (loss) to each of EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA).
Consolidated revenue for the second quarter of 2007 was $53.3 million, a decrease of 3.3% compared to $55.1 million for the same period in 2006. Cost of Revenue and SG&A expenses combined were $49.4 million for the 2007 second quarter, down 6.3% compared to the same period in 2006.
Net earnings for the first six months of 2007 were $20.1 million or $2.26 per basic and diluted share, which included the gain on the sale of the Meridian business of $19.5 million, earnings from discontinued operations of $0.3 million, and $5.4 million of stock-based compensation expense. This compares to a net loss of $13.9 million, or $(2.27) per basic and diluted share for the same period in 2006, which included earnings from discontinued operations of $1.2 million, a $10.1 million non-cash charge related to the Company's financial restructuring, a charge of $0.7 million related to stock-based compensation, and $2.0 million of restructuring charges.
Adjusted EBITDA for the six months ended June 30, 2007 was $19.1 million compared to $10.4 million of adjusted EBITDA for the same period in 2006. The 2007 adjusted EBITDA excludes the $19.5 million gain on the sale of the Meridian business, earnings from discontinued operations of $0.3 million, and the $5.4 million stock-based compensation charge. The comparable adjusted EBITDA amount for the first six months of 2006 excludes the earnings from discontinued operations of $1.2 million, the non-cash charge of $10.1 million related to the Company's financial restructuring, a charge of $0.7 million related to stock-based compensation, and an operational restructuring charge of $2.0 million.
Consolidated revenue in the first six months of 2007 was $110.3 million compared to $110.9 million for the same period in 2006. Cost of Revenue and SG&A expenses combined were $100.3 million for the first six months of 2007, down 5.9% compared to the same period in 2006.
Liquidity
At June 30, 2007 the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $29.6 million and had no borrowings against its revolving credit facility. Total principal amount of debt outstanding at quarter-end was $108.9 million, a reduction of $21.4 million compared to the debt outstanding at the beginning of the quarter. The reduction in debt during the quarter was the result of the Company's paying off the remaining $15.4 million balance on its term loan and the conversion of $5.9 million principal amount of outstanding Senior Convertible Notes Due 2011 into approximately 903,000 shares of common stock.
Debt outstanding at the end of the second quarter included $51.5 million in principal amount of 11.0% Senior Notes Due 2011, $56.1 million in principal amount of 10.0% Senior Convertible Notes Due 2011, and $1.3 million of capital lease obligations. In addition, the Company had 9.0% Series A preferred stock outstanding at quarter-end with an aggregate liquidation preference of $8.3 million, which is mandatorily redeemable in 2011. The aggregate liquidation preference on the Series A preferred stock decreased by $0.6 million during the quarter, the net result of an increase of $0.2 million from the accretion of unpaid dividends and the conversion of Series A preferred shares representing $0.8 million in liquidation preference into approximately 296,000 shares of common stock.
"We continued our forward momentum during the second quarter, registering our sixth successive quarter of year-over-year increase in adjusted EBITDA," said James B. McCurry, chairman, president and chief executive officer. "During the quarter we reduced our total debt outstanding while increasing our cash on hand, and we sharpened our strategic focus by successfully divesting our Meridian business unit. We also made significant progress in our initiative to pioneer recovery audit in Medicare, with proceeds from our contract to audit Medicare spending in California making an important contribution to our revenue for the quarter."

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA are both "non-GAAP financial measures" presented as supplemental measures of our performance. They are not presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, or GAAP. Management uses these measures in evaluating the Company's financial performance and believes that providing investors with this information provides greater transparency and insight into management's assessment and analysis of that performance. Additionally, rating agencies and a number of lenders, including the Company's secured lenders, use measures similar to EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA to assess the Company's performance. However, EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA have limitations as analytical tools, and you should not consider them in isolation, or as substitutes for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. In evaluating EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA, you should be aware that, as described above, the adjustments may vary from period to period and in the future we will incur expenses such as those used in calculating these measures. Our presentation of these measures should not be construed as an inference that our future results will be unaffected by unusual or nonrecurring items. Schedule 3 provides a reconciliation of net earnings (loss) to each of EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA.

PRG-Schultz Announces Second Quarter 2007 Financial Results
Wednesday August 1, 6:40 pm ET
ATLANTA--(BUSINESS WIRE)--PRG-Schultz International, Inc. (Nasdaq:PRGX - News), the world's largest recovery audit firm, today announced its unaudited financial results for the second quarter and six months ended June 30, 2007.
Highlights of Financial Results
Net earnings for the 2007 second quarter were $18.6 million or $2.02 per basic and diluted share, compared to a net loss of $3.6 million, or $(0.62) per basic and diluted share for the same period in 2006. The second quarter 2007 net earnings included a gain on the sale of the Company's Meridian business unit of approximately $19.5 million, earnings from discontinued operations of $0.2 million and a $2.7 million charge for stock-based compensation. The second quarter 2006 net loss included a charge of $0.4 million for stock-based compensation and an operational restructuring charge of $1.6 million.
Adjusted EBITDA for the 2007 second quarter was $8.2 million compared to $5.5 million of adjusted EBITDA for the same period in 2006. The 2007 second quarter adjusted EBITDA is earnings (loss) from continuing operations before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) excluding the $2.7 million charge for stock-based compensation. Adjusted EBITDA also does not include the $19.5 million gain on the sale of the Meridian business and the earnings from discontinued operations of $0.2 million. The comparable adjusted EBITDA amount for the second quarter of 2006 excludes from EBITDA for such period the charge of $0.4 million related to stock-based compensation and an operational restructuring charge of $1.6 million. (Schedule 3 attached to this press release provides a reconciliation of net earnings (loss) to each of EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA).
Consolidated revenue for the second quarter of 2007 was $53.3 million, a decrease of 3.3% compared to $55.1 million for the same period in 2006. Cost of Revenue and SG&A expenses combined were $49.4 million for the 2007 second quarter, down 6.3% compared to the same period in 2006.
Net earnings for the first six months of 2007 were $20.1 million or $2.26 per basic and diluted share, which included the gain on the sale of the Meridian business of $19.5 million, earnings from discontinued operations of $0.3 million, and $5.4 million of stock-based compensation expense. This compares to a net loss of $13.9 million, or $(2.27) per basic and diluted share for the same period in 2006, which included earnings from discontinued operations of $1.2 million, a $10.1 million non-cash charge related to the Company's financial restructuring, a charge of $0.7 million related to stock-based compensation, and $2.0 million of restructuring charges.
Adjusted EBITDA for the six months ended June 30, 2007 was $19.1 million compared to $10.4 million of adjusted EBITDA for the same period in 2006. The 2007 adjusted EBITDA excludes the $19.5 million gain on the sale of the Meridian business, earnings from discontinued operations of $0.3 million, and the $5.4 million stock-based compensation charge. The comparable adjusted EBITDA amount for the first six months of 2006 excludes the earnings from discontinued operations of $1.2 million, the non-cash charge of $10.1 million related to the Company's financial restructuring, a charge of $0.7 million related to stock-based compensation, and an operational restructuring charge of $2.0 million.
Consolidated revenue in the first six months of 2007 was $110.3 million compared to $110.9 million for the same period in 2006. Cost of Revenue and SG&A expenses combined were $100.3 million for the first six months of 2007, down 5.9% compared to the same period in 2006.
Liquidity
At June 30, 2007 the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $29.6 million and had no borrowings against its revolving credit facility. Total principal amount of debt outstanding at quarter-end was $108.9 million, a reduction of $21.4 million compared to the debt outstanding at the beginning of the quarter. The reduction in debt during the quarter was the result of the Company's paying off the remaining $15.4 million balance on its term loan and the conversion of $5.9 million principal amount of outstanding Senior Convertible Notes Due 2011 into approximately 903,000 shares of common stock.
Debt outstanding at the end of the second quarter included $51.5 million in principal amount of 11.0% Senior Notes Due 2011, $56.1 million in principal amount of 10.0% Senior Convertible Notes Due 2011, and $1.3 million of capital lease obligations. In addition, the Company had 9.0% Series A preferred stock outstanding at quarter-end with an aggregate liquidation preference of $8.3 million, which is mandatorily redeemable in 2011. The aggregate liquidation preference on the Series A preferred stock decreased by $0.6 million during the quarter, the net result of an increase of $0.2 million from the accretion of unpaid dividends and the conversion of Series A preferred shares representing $0.8 million in liquidation preference into approximately 296,000 shares of common stock.
"We continued our forward momentum during the second quarter, registering our sixth successive quarter of year-over-year increase in adjusted EBITDA," said James B. McCurry, chairman, president and chief executive officer. "During the quarter we reduced our total debt outstanding while increasing our cash on hand, and we sharpened our strategic focus by successfully divesting our Meridian business unit. We also made significant progress in our initiative to pioneer recovery audit in Medicare, with proceeds from our contract to audit Medicare spending in California making an important contribution to our revenue for the quarter."

EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA are both "non-GAAP financial measures"
presented as supplemental measures of our performance. They are not
presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted
in the United States, or GAAP. Management uses these measures in
evaluating the Company's financial performance and believes that
providing investors with this information provides greater
transparency and insight into management's assessment and analysis of
that performance. Additionally, rating agencies and a number of
lenders, including the Company's secured lenders, use measures
similar to EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA to assess the Company's

analytical tools, and you should not consider them in isolation, or
as substitutes for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. In
evaluating EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA, you should be aware that, as

ADDING and REPLACING PRG-Schultz Announces Third Quarter 2007 Financial Results
Monday October 29, 7:40 pm ET
ATLANTA--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Please add the Schedule 4, PRG-Schultz International, Inc. and Subsidiaries, Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows to the end of the release.
The corrected release reads:
PRG-SCHULTZ ANNOUNCES THIRD QUARTER 2007 FINANCIAL RESULTS
PRG-Schultz International, Inc. (NASDAQ: PRGX - News), the world's largest recovery audit firm, today announced its unaudited financial results for the third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2007.
Highlights of Financial Results
Net loss for the 2007 third quarter was $3.0 million or $(0.31) per basic and diluted share, compared to a net loss of $4.2 million, or $(0.69) per basic and diluted share for the same period in 2006. The third quarter 2007 net loss included a $6.9 million charge for stock-based compensation, most of which resulted from the issuance of additional performance units in accordance with the anti-dilution provisions of the Company’s 2006 Management Incentive Plan. The net loss also included an operational restructuring charge of $1.6 million related to the Company’s successful sub-leasing and exit of approximately 25% of its headquarters office space. The third quarter 2006 net loss included earnings from discontinued operations of $0.7 million, an operational restructuring charge of $0.2 million and a charge of $4.1 million for stock-based compensation.
Adjusted EBITDA for the 2007 third quarter was $10.7 million compared to $7.2 million of adjusted EBITDA for the same period in 2006. The 2007 third quarter adjusted EBITDA is earnings (loss) from continuing operations before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) excluding the $1.6 million operational restructuring charge related to the exit of a portion of its headquarters office space and the $6.9 million charge for stock-based compensation. The comparable adjusted EBITDA amount for the third quarter of 2006 excludes from EBITDA for such period the charge of $4.1 million related to stock-based compensation and the operational restructuring charge of $0.2 million. (Schedule 3 attached to this press release provides a reconciliation of net earnings (loss) to each of EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA).
Consolidated revenue for the third quarter of 2007 was $53.2 million, a decrease of 2.9% compared to $54.8 million for the same period in 2006. Cost of revenue and SG&A expenses combined were $51.1 million for the 2007 third quarter, down 5.7% compared to the same period in 2006.
Net earnings for the first nine months of 2007 were $17.1 million or $1.80 per basic and diluted share, which included the previously announced gain on the sale of the Meridian business of $19.5 million, earnings from discontinued operations of $0.3 million, the $1.6 million lease exit restructuring charge and $12.3 million of stock-based compensation expense which was also mostly attributable to the anti-dilution provisions of the Company’s 2006 Management Incentive Plan. This compares to a net loss of $18.2 million, or $(2.95) per basic and diluted share for the same period in 2006, which included earnings from discontinued operations of $1.9 million, a $10 million non-cash charge related to the Company’s March 2006 financial restructuring, a charge of $4.8 million related to stock-based compensation, and $2.1 million of operational restructuring charges.
Adjusted EBITDA for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 was $29.8 million compared to $17.6 million of adjusted EBITDA for the same period in 2006. The 2007 adjusted EBITDA excludes the $19.5 million gain on the sale of the Meridian business, earnings from discontinued operations of $0.3 million, the $1.6 million lease exit restructuring charge and the $12.3 million of stock-based compensation charges. The comparable adjusted EBITDA amount for the first nine months of 2006 excludes the earnings from discontinued operations of $1.9 million, the non-cash charge of $10 million related to the Company’s financial restructuring, the charge of $4.8 million related to stock-based compensation, and the operational restructuring charge of $2.1 million.
Consolidated revenue in the first nine months of 2007 was $163.6 million compared to $165.7 million for the same period in 2006. Cost of Revenue and SG&A expenses combined were $151.4 million for the first nine months of 2007, down 5.8% compared to the same period in 2006.
Liquidity
At September 30, 2007 the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $27.8 million and had no borrowings against its revolving credit facility. As recently announced, on October 4, 2007 the Company completed the redemption of its 11% Senior Notes and its 10% Senior Convertible Notes and on October 19, 2007 completed the redemption of its Series A Convertible Preferred Stock. As a result of the call for redemption, virtually all of the convertible securities were converted into shares of PRG-Schultz common stock.
Following the completion of the conversions and redemptions, the Company has approximately 21.5 million shares of common stock outstanding, a $45 million term loan due September 2011 and cash and cash equivalents exceeding $20 million.
“We are pleased to report another quarter of significant progress,” said James B. McCurry, chairman, president and chief executive officer. “We registered our seventh successive quarter of year-over-year increase in adjusted EBITDA, while continuing to build our capabilities in new areas of recovery audit, and in providing new services, beyond recovery audit, to our existing client base.”

Monday October 29, 7:40 pm ET
ATLANTA--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Please add the Schedule 4, PRG-Schultz International, Inc. and Subsidiaries, Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows to the end of the release.
The corrected release reads:
PRG-SCHULTZ ANNOUNCES THIRD QUARTER 2007 FINANCIAL RESULTS
PRG-Schultz International, Inc. (NASDAQ: PRGX - News), the world's largest recovery audit firm, today announced its unaudited financial results for the third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2007.
Highlights of Financial Results
Net loss for the 2007 third quarter was $3.0 million or $(0.31) per basic and diluted share, compared to a net loss of $4.2 million, or $(0.69) per basic and diluted share for the same period in 2006. The third quarter 2007 net loss included a $6.9 million charge for stock-based compensation, most of which resulted from the issuance of additional performance units in accordance with the anti-dilution provisions of the Company’s 2006 Management Incentive Plan. The net loss also included an operational restructuring charge of $1.6 million related to the Company’s successful sub-leasing and exit of approximately 25% of its headquarters office space. The third quarter 2006 net loss included earnings from discontinued operations of $0.7 million, an operational restructuring charge of $0.2 million and a charge of $4.1 million for stock-based compensation.
Adjusted EBITDA for the 2007 third quarter was $10.7 million compared to $7.2 million of adjusted EBITDA for the same period in 2006. The 2007 third quarter adjusted EBITDA is earnings (loss) from continuing operations before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) excluding the $1.6 million operational restructuring charge related to the exit of a portion of its headquarters office space and the $6.9 million charge for stock-based compensation. The comparable adjusted EBITDA amount for the third quarter of 2006 excludes from EBITDA for such period the charge of $4.1 million related to stock-based compensation and the operational restructuring charge of $0.2 million. (Schedule 3 attached to this press release provides a reconciliation of net earnings (loss) to each of EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA).
Consolidated revenue for the third quarter of 2007 was $53.2 million, a decrease of 2.9% compared to $54.8 million for the same period in 2006. Cost of revenue and SG&A expenses combined were $51.1 million for the 2007 third quarter, down 5.7% compared to the same period in 2006.
Net earnings for the first nine months of 2007 were $17.1 million or $1.80 per basic and diluted share, which included the previously announced gain on the sale of the Meridian business of $19.5 million, earnings from discontinued operations of $0.3 million, the $1.6 million lease exit restructuring charge and $12.3 million of stock-based compensation expense which was also mostly attributable to the anti-dilution provisions of the Company’s 2006 Management Incentive Plan. This compares to a net loss of $18.2 million, or $(2.95) per basic and diluted share for the same period in 2006, which included earnings from discontinued operations of $1.9 million, a $10 million non-cash charge related to the Company’s March 2006 financial restructuring, a charge of $4.8 million related to stock-based compensation, and $2.1 million of operational restructuring charges.
Adjusted EBITDA for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 was $29.8 million compared to $17.6 million of adjusted EBITDA for the same period in 2006. The 2007 adjusted EBITDA excludes the $19.5 million gain on the sale of the Meridian business, earnings from discontinued operations of $0.3 million, the $1.6 million lease exit restructuring charge and the $12.3 million of stock-based compensation charges. The comparable adjusted EBITDA amount for the first nine months of 2006 excludes the earnings from discontinued operations of $1.9 million, the non-cash charge of $10 million related to the Company’s financial restructuring, the charge of $4.8 million related to stock-based compensation, and the operational restructuring charge of $2.1 million.
Consolidated revenue in the first nine months of 2007 was $163.6 million compared to $165.7 million for the same period in 2006. Cost of Revenue and SG&A expenses combined were $151.4 million for the first nine months of 2007, down 5.8% compared to the same period in 2006.
Liquidity
At September 30, 2007 the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $27.8 million and had no borrowings against its revolving credit facility. As recently announced, on October 4, 2007 the Company completed the redemption of its 11% Senior Notes and its 10% Senior Convertible Notes and on October 19, 2007 completed the redemption of its Series A Convertible Preferred Stock. As a result of the call for redemption, virtually all of the convertible securities were converted into shares of PRG-Schultz common stock.
Following the completion of the conversions and redemptions, the Company has approximately 21.5 million shares of common stock outstanding, a $45 million term loan due September 2011 and cash and cash equivalents exceeding $20 million.
“We are pleased to report another quarter of significant progress,” said James B. McCurry, chairman, president and chief executive officer. “We registered our seventh successive quarter of year-over-year increase in adjusted EBITDA, while continuing to build our capabilities in new areas of recovery audit, and in providing new services, beyond recovery audit, to our existing client base.”

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA are both "non-GAAP financial measures" presented as supplemental measures of our performance. They are not presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, or GAAP. Management uses these measures in evaluating the Company’s financial performance and believes that providing investors with this information provides greater transparency and insight into management’s assessment and analysis of that performance. Additionally, rating agencies and a number of lenders, including the Company’s secured lenders, use measures similar to EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA to assess the Company’s performance. However, EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA have limitations as analytical tools, and you should not consider them in isolation, or as substitutes for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. In evaluating EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA, you should be aware that, as described above, the adjustments may vary from period to period and in the future we will incur expenses such as those used in calculating these measures. Our presentation of these measures should not be construed as an inference that our future results will be unaffected by unusual or nonrecurring items. Schedule 3 provides a reconciliation of net earnings (loss) to each of EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA.
Forward Looking Statements
In addition to historical information, this press release includes certain forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such statements include both implied and express statements regarding the Company’s financial condition and liquidity, the existence and continuation of the Company’s significant progress, the building of capabilities in new areas of recovery audit, and the Company’s progress in providing new services. Such forward looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause the actual results, performance or achievements of the Company to differ materially from the historical results or from any results expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Risks that could affect the Company’s future performance include the Company’s ability to attract and retain personnel, Medicare audit revenues that do not meet expectations or justify costs incurred, the Company’s ability to replace the declining revenues from its core accounts payable services, changes in the market for the Company’s services, client bankruptcies, loss of major clients, and other risks generally applicable to the Company’s business. For a discussion of other risk factors that may impact the Company's business and the success of its restructuring plan, please see the Company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including its Form 10-K filed on March 23, 2007. The Company disclaims any obligation or duty to update or modify these forward-looking statements.
