Vsource(R) Announces Results for Fiscal 2005
LA JOLLA, Calif., May 12 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Vsource, Inc. (OTC:VSCE)
(BULLETIN BOARD: VSCE) , today announced its financial results for its fiscal
year ending January 31, 2005 ("Fiscal 2005").
From 2001 to 2004, the Company provided Fortune 500 and Global 500 companies
with customizable and comprehensive business process outsourcing (BPO)
solutions into and across the Asia-Pacific region. As previously announced and
as a result of an exchange offer (the Exchange Offer) and related transactions
completed on November 22, 2004, the Company disposed of its ownership interest
in Vsource Asia Berhad, its former principal operating subsidiary, and
therefore no longer provides BPO services. Since the completion of the
Exchange Offer, the Company's only active business operations consist of
limited consulting services. Accordingly, the results of the BPO-related
operations conducted by Vsource Asia have been classified as discontinued. In
Fiscal 2005 and through the Exchange Offer, Vsource Asia generated $13.9
million in revenues or approximately 96% of the Company's combined revenues.
This release presents the Company's results from its limited consulting
services, and excludes revenues and expenses from the discontinued BPO-related
operations.
Revenue for fiscal 2005 totaled $0.254 million, compared to zero for the same
prior year period ("Fiscal 2004"). The Company reported a net profit available
to common shareholders of $37.4 million or $18.37 and $17.92 per basic and
diluted share respectively for fiscal 2005. Net profit available to common
shareholders during Fiscal 2005 included credit arising on exchange of
preferred stock resulting from the Exchange Offer of $34.3 million, offset by
non-cash charges of $12.2 million from deemed non-cash dividends to preferred
shareholders. The Company recorded deemed non-cash dividends to preferred
shareholders of $11.9 million for Fiscal 2004 when it reported a net loss
available to common shareholders of $23.2 million or $12.15 per basic share.
The Company's earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization,
adjusted to exclude non-cash expenses ("Adjusted EBITDA"), were a gain of $17.1
million for Fiscal 2005, compared with Adjusted EBITDA loss of $9.0 million,
adjusted to exclude non-cash stock-based compensation charges of $0.1 million,
for Fiscal 2004. Adjusted EBITDA represents a non-GAAP (Generally Accepted
Accounting Principles) financial measure. A table reconciling this measure to
the appropriate GAAP measure is included in the notes to the consolidated
financial statements included in this release. Net cash as of January 31, 2005
totaled $1.1 million, compared to $0.3 million as of January 31, 2004.
As of March 31, 2005, the Company had approximately $0.5 million in cash, cash
equivalents and marketable securities and also had amounts owed to it from
Vsource Asia totaling $1.739 million. These amounts relate to legacy
inter-company obligations when Vsource Asia was a subsidiary of the Company,
prior to the completion of the Exchange Offer in November 2004. The Company is
in discussions with Vsource Asia and its parent Symphony House Berhad to
finalize payment arrangements in respect of this obligation. Because of the
uncertainty of the full repayment of the Vsource Asia obligation, the Company
has made an estimated discount of $0.783 million against it and currently
values the asset at $0.956 million.
The Company intends to continue to consider a potential sale of the Company;
liquidation and distribution of remaining assets to shareholders; and potential
acquisition opportunities. In respect of potential acquisitions, the Company
has not identified a specific industry on which it intends to focus; however,
drawing on the Company's BPO background, it may consider small- to medium-sized
business service companies in the United States, Europe and Japan that can
benefit from the "productivity arbitrage" derived from the migration of
operations involving high volume transaction processing to Asia and/or business
services companies operating in Asia. In the case of a sale or acquisition,
the Company may pursue additional funding opportunities. The Company has no
present arrangements or understandings with respect to the sale of the Company
or the acquisition of any specific business.
Investors should carefully review the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for
the fiscal year ended January 31, 2005 for a more detailed description of the
Company's financial results.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This release contains non-GAAP financial measures. Pursuant to the
requirements of Regulation G, Vsource has provided reconciliation within this
release of the non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP
financial measures. Adjusted EBITDA has been presented in this release in
order to assist in the analysis of the operating profitability of the company
because the company believes this form of measurement eliminates the effects of
non-cash charges such as beneficial conversion feature expense, stock-based
compensation and depreciation and amortization. Management reviews this form
of measurement monthly.

27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, Section 21E of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the Private Securities Litigation Reform
Act of 1995, including, among others (i) prospective business opportunities and
(ii) our potential strategies for redirecting and financing our business.
