(formerly KPMG Consulting, Inc.) NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (in thousands, except share and per share amounts) (unaudited) Note 1. Basis of Presentation On October 2, 2002, KPMG Consulting, Inc. changed its name to BearingPoint, Inc. (referred to below as "we," "BearingPoint" or the "Company"). Our brand name underscores our global commitment to set a clear direction for our clients. In conjunction with our branding initiative, BearingPoint moved to the New York Stock Exchange and began trading on October 3, 2002, under the new ticker symbol "BE." BearingPoint is a global provider of management consulting and business systems integration services. The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated condensed financial statements of BearingPoint, Inc. have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") for quarterly reports on Form 10-Q. These statements do not include all of the information and note disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles, and should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2002, included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC. The accompanying consolidated condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and reflect adjustments (consisting solely of normal, recurring adjustments) which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of results for these interim periods. The results of operations for the three months ended September 30, 2002 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2003. Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform with the current period presentation. Note 2. Segment Reporting The Company discloses business segment information in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standard ("SFAS") No. 131, "Disclosures About Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information." SFAS No. 131 established standards for the way public business enterprises report information about operating segments in annual financial statements and required those enterprises to report selected information about operating segments in interim financial statements. Performance of the segments is evaluated based on operating income excluding the costs of infrastructure functions (such as information systems, finance and accounting, human resources, legal and marketing). Effective in the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2002, upon completion of a series of international acquisitions, the company has six reportable segments in addition to the Corporate/Other category. Prior year segment data has been reclassified to reflect the addition of an international segment. Three Months Ended September 30, 2002 2001 ------------------------------ -------------------------------- Operating Operating Revenue Income Revenue Income ------------------------------ -------------------------------- Public Services $ 267,125 $ 77,921 $ 218,720 $ 70,649 Communications & Content 96,195 25,501 133,347 41,287 Financial Services 62,012 14,687 67,705 8,136 Consumer & Industrial Markets 102,711 21,486 84,355 22,150 High Technology 37,025 8,577 62,588 12,496 International 180,721 26,015 42,057 1,955 Corporate/Other (1) 1,771 (142,422) 119 (112,641) ------------------------------ -------------------------------- Total $ 747,560 $ 31,765 $ 608,891 $ 44,032 ============================== ================================ (1) Corporate/Other operating loss is principally due to infrastructure costs. 6 Note 3. Comprehensive Income (Loss) The Company accounts for comprehensive income (loss) under SFAS No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income." Total comprehensive income (i.e., net income plus foreign currency translation adjustment and other comprehensive income), for the three months ended September 30, 2002 was $13,043. Total comprehensive loss for the three months ended September 30, 2001 was $57,004. Note 4. Earnings Per Share of Common Stock Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period plus the dilutive effect of potential future issues of common stock relating to the Company's stock option program and other potentially dilutive securities. In calculating diluted earnings per share, the dilutive effect of stock options is computed using the average market price for the period. The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share: Three Months Ended September 30, 2002 2001 ------------- ------------- Net income before cumulative effect of change in accounting principle - basic $ 15,181 $ 22,316 Convertible debt adjustment 133 114 ------------- ------------- Adjusted income before cumulative effect of change in accounting principle - diluted 15,314 22,430 Cumulative effect of change in accounting principle -- (79,960) ------------- ------------- Adjusted income (loss) - diluted $ 15,314 $ (57,530) ============= ============= Weighted average shares outstanding - basic 172,077,633 158,331,525 Effect of dilutive securities: Employee stock options 98,408 106,628 Convertible debt 868,056 868,056 ------------- ------------- Weighted average shares outstanding - diluted 173,044,097 159,306,209 ============= ============= Earnings (loss) per share - basic and diluted $ 0.09 $ (0.36) ============= ============= Common shares related to outstanding stock options and other potentially dilutive securities that were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share as the effect would have been anti-dilutive were 33,757,628 and 27,222,989 for the three months ended September 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively. 7 Note 5. Business Combinations KPMG Consulting AG Effective August 1, 2002, as part of a significant expansion in our international presence, the Company acquired KPMG Consulting AG ("KCA"), the consulting practice of the German member firm of KPMG International, with operations in Germany, Switzerland and Austria, for approximately $643,020. The purchase of KPMG Consulting AG was paid for through the issuance of 30,471,309 shares of common stock to the sellers at $11.96 per share, $273,583 in cash to the sellers, and approximately $5,000 in acquisition related transaction costs incurred to date. The preliminary allocation of the purchase price to assets acquired and liabilities assumed was as follows: Preliminary Allocation of Purchase Price -------------- Current assets $ 138,479 Goodwill and other intangible assets 677,424 Other long-lived assets 15,755 -------------- Total assets $ 831,658 Current liabilities (133,886) Long-term liabilities (54,752) -------------- Net assets $ 643,020 ============== Purchased intangibles acquired include backlog of $21,084 and trade name of $1,404. Goodwill is expected to be non-deductible for foreign income tax purposes. However, the goodwill is expected to have U.S. income tax basis that may have beneficial impact on future tax credits upon possible repatriation of earnings. Effective August 1, 2002, the results of KCA's operations have been included in the consolidated financial results of the Company. The pro forma results of operations for the three months ended September 30, 2002, assuming consummation of the purchase as of July 1, 2002, reflect revenues of $787,301; net income of $13,301, and earnings per share (basic and diluted) of $0.07. Significant pro forma adjustments include amortization expense on purchased intangibles of $999 (net of tax), interest expense on borrowings made in connection with the KCA acquisition of $377 (net of tax) and an increase in weighted average shares outstanding (basic and diluted) of 16,891,704 as a result of including the shares issued as consideration for the purchase of KCA from July 1, 2002. For the pro forma effects of this acquisition on the Company's results of operations for the year ended June 30, 2002, and the Company's financial position at June 30, 2002, refer to the Company's Form 8-K/A filed with the SEC on October 17, 2002. Andersen Business Consulting Practices During the quarter ended September 30, 2002, the Company engaged in a number of acquisitions, group hires and other transactions involving certain independent business consulting practices affiliated with member firms of Andersen Societe Cooperative Worldwide ("Andersen BC Practices"). On July 1, 2002, the Company finalized its previously announced agreement to hire certain partners and staff formerly associated with the Andersen BC Practice in the United States for $60,350. The transaction added approximately 1,490 professionals to the Company's U.S. billable workforce. The preliminary allocation of the transaction price resulted in the allocation of $60,350 to goodwill. On August 1, 2002, the Company acquired the business consulting unit of Arthur Andersen y Cia in Spain for approximately $27,070 of which approximately $5,500 has been recorded as an acquisition obligation to be paid upon completion of certain post-closing requirements. The preliminary allocation of the purchase price to acquired assets and liabilities resulted in the allocation of $28,694 to goodwill. On August 1, 2002, the Company acquired the assets of the Andersen BC Practice in Japan for approximately $19,700. The preliminary allocation of the purchase price to acquired assets and liabilities resulted in $14,612 of goodwill and $632 of purchased intangibles. 8 Effective September 1, 2002, the Company acquired the Andersen BC Practice in France for approximately $15,650. The preliminary allocation of the purchase price to acquired assets and liabilities resulted in the allocation of $29,051 to goodwill and $1,951 to purchased intangibles. Additionally, during the first quarter of fiscal 2003, the Company completed the acquisition of all or portions of Andersen BC Practices in Switzerland, Norway, Finland, Sweden, Singapore, South Korea, and Peru and the group hire of certain employees formerly associated with the Andersen BC Practice in Brazil for approximately $13,250. The preliminary allocation of the purchase price to acquired assets and liabilities resulted in the allocation of $15,692 to goodwill and $1,335 of purchased intangibles. The pro forma effects on operations of the Andersen BC Practice transactions were not material. In connection with the acquisitions of KCA and certain European Andersen BC Practices, the Company is in the process of finalizing plans of restructuring to balance resources with market demand for services, including specifically identifying excess resources, and finalizing the cost of the actions with appropriate regulatory bodies. The Company also plans to exit redundant office facilities and consolidate staff in selected facilities. The Company's preliminary estimate of these acquisition liabilities is $20,130, none of which was disbursed through September 30, 2002. The plans are expected to be finalized in the quarter ended December 31, 2002 and fully implemented by the end of the fiscal year, subject to regulatory approvals. For all of the acquisitions noted above, the Company is in the process of finalizing the allocation of the purchase price to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their fair values at the date of acquisition, in accordance with SFAS No. 141, "Business Combinations." Any adjustment to the allocation of the purchase price for these acquisitions upon finalization of our valuation of these assets acquired and liabilities assumed is not expected to have a significant effect on our balance sheet. Note 6. Notes Payable On August 21, 2002, the Company entered into a $220,000 revolving credit facility for the purpose of funding a portion of the acquisition cost of KCA. This credit facility matures on December 15, 2002 and is in addition to the Company's other credit facilities. Borrowings bear interest at either the prime rate, the LIBOR rate plus a margin ranging from 0.875% to 1.625% or money market rates, the option of which is determinable by the Company. On August 22, 2002, in connection with the closing of the KCA acquisition, the Company borrowed $220,000 under the new facility and $75,000 under the Company's existing receivables purchase facility. At September 30, 2002, these borrowings bore interest at 2.98% and 2.22%, respectively. On August 30, 2002, the Company expanded its yen-denominated line of credit facility to an aggregate principal balance not to exceed 2 billion Yen (approximately $16,800). Borrowings under the facility accrue interest of TIBOR plus 0.90% and are used to finance working capital for the Company's Japanese operations. There are no covenants under the facility, and it matures on August 30, 2003. At September 30, 2002, there were borrowings outstanding on this line of $4,926, which accrue interest at 0.97%. Note 7. Derivative Instruments and Hedging Agreements The Company has borrowings outstanding under bank credit facilities, which carry variable interest rates (see Note 6). These debt obligations expose the Company to variability in interest payments due to changes in interest rates. If interest rates increase, interest expense increases. Conversely, if interest rates decrease, interest expense decreases. During the second quarter of fiscal 2003, the Company intends to replace its $220,000 short-term revolving credit facility used to fund recent acquisitions with fixed rate debt. In anticipation of this refinancing, the Company entered into treasury rate locks on $125,000 of five year debt. The treasury locks are derivative instruments as defined by SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities," and have been designated as highly effective cash flow hedges. The treasury locks are anticipated to convert fixed rate cash flows from 6.71% to approximately 6.57% on $125,000 of the new debt. 9 The accumulated loss related to the treasury locks included in other comprehensive income as of September 30, 2002 was approximately $887. On November 6, 2002 the treasury locks were settled, resulting in a gain of $787. Until the anticipated refinancing is consummated the amount of accumulated gain that will be reclassified into interest expense over the next twelve months can not be projected. Note 8. Transactions with KPMG LLP During fiscal 2002, the Company began to wind down the services provided by KPMG LLP under the transition services agreement. In connection with winding down and terminating services, we are potentially liable for the payment of termination costs, as defined in the agreement, incurred by KPMG LLP, including transitioning personnel and contracts from KPMG LLP to our Company. The Company has given notice to KPMG LLP of its intent to terminate certain services during fiscal 2003, for which the amount of termination costs have yet to be determined by KPMG LLP or agreed upon by the parties. Accordingly, the amount of termination costs that the Company will pay to KPMG LLP in the future cannot be reasonably estimated at this time. The Company believes that the amount of termination costs yet to be assessed will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's consolidated financial position, cash flows, or liquidity. Whether such amounts could have a material effect on the results of operation in a particular quarter or fiscal year cannot be determined at this time. During July 2002, the Company purchased $30,754 of leasehold improvements from KPMG LLP at its net book value. These assets had been used by the Company under the transition services agreement (for which usage charges had been included in the monthly costs under the agreement) and will continue to be used in our business. Based on information currently available, the Company anticipates paying KPMG LLP an additional $40,000 to $60,000 for the sale and transfer of additional capital assets currently used by the Company through the transition services agreement. Note 9. Capital Stock and Option Awards On September 3, 2002, in accordance with the February 1, 2002 tender offer relating to stock options with an exercise price of $55.50, the Company issued 4,397,775 replacement options at an exercise price of $11.01, which was 110% of the closing market price on that date. In connection with the various Andersen BC Practice transactions, the Company committed to issuing approximately 4,000,000 shares of common stock to former partners of those practices as a retentive measure and for no monetary consideration from such persons. The shares will be issued in equal one-third increments over a three-year period on the anniversary date of the respective transactions so long as the recipient remains employed by the Company. Compensation expense will be recorded ratably over the three-year period beginning in July 2002. Compensation expense for the three months ended September 30, 2002 was $3,380. On September 30, 2002, the Company filed with the SEC a registration statement on Form S-3 relating to the resale of 30,471,309 shares of the Company's common stock issued in connection with the closing of the KCA acquisition. The registration statement indicates that the Company will not be selling any of the shares covered by the registration statement and will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale of shares to the extent that any of the shares are sold by the selling shareholders. This registration statement became effective on October 18, 2002. Note 10. Commitment to Re-Branding In August 2002, the Company announced its commitment to a re-branding initiative, under which the Company expects to spend $20,000 to $40,000 during fiscal 2003. For the three months ended September 30, 2002, the Company has incurred costs of $6,790 ($4,016 after tax, or $0.02 per share). Note 11. Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets Effective July 1, 2001, the Company adopted SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets," which established financial accounting and reporting standards for acquired goodwill and other intangible assets and superseded Accounting Principles Board Opinion ("APB") No. 17, "Intangible Assets." Under SFAS No. 142, goodwill and indefinite-lived purchased intangible assets are no longer amortized but are reviewed at least annually for impairment; the Company has elected to perform this review annually as of April 1. Identifiable intangible assets that have finite lives, continue to be amortized over their estimated useful lives. 10 In connection with adopting this standard as of July 1, 2001, the Company recognized a transitional impairment loss of $79,960, or $0.50 per basic and diluted earnings per share, as the cumulative effect of an accounting change. The transitional impairment charge resulted from a change in the criteria for the measurement of the impairment loss from undiscounted cash flows, a method required by SFAS No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of," to discounted cash flows as required by SFAS No. 142. Goodwill and other identifiable intangible assets consisted of the following at September 30, 2002 and June 30, 2002: September 30, June 30, 2002 2002 ------------ ------------- Internal-use software $ 91,348 $ 77,033 Purchased intangibles 39,625 13,225 Marketed software 18,371 16,915 Other 2,612 2,612 Total accumulated amortization (43,329) (34,133) --------- --------- Other intangible assets, net 108,627 75,652 Goodwill 886,487 87,663 --------- --------- Total $ 995,114 $ 163,315 ========= ========= Identifiable intangible assets include purchased or internally developed software and finite-lived purchased intangible assets, which primarily consist of market rights, backlog and software license rights. Identifiable intangible assets are amortized principally by the straight-line method over their expected period of benefit. The changes in the carrying amount of goodwill for the three months ended September 30, 2002 are as follows: Balance Balance June 30, September 30, 2002 Additions Other 2002 -------------- -------------- --------------- ---------------- Public Services $ 11,935 $ 11,467 $ - $ 23,402 Communications & Content 8,242 15,088 - 23,330 Financial Services 2,886 6,035 - 8,921 Consumer & Industrial Markets 8,270 22,933 - 31,203 High Technology 1,926 4,827 - 6,753 International 50,608 735,653 2,821 789,082 Corporate/Other 3,796 - - 3,796 -------------- -------------- --------------- ---------------- Total $ 87,663 $ 796,003 $ 2,821 $ 886,487 ============== ============== =============== ================ Note 12. Subsequent Events On October 1, 2002, the Company acquired the consulting unit of the KPMG international member firm in Finland for approximately $4,000. The Company is currently in the process of determining the allocation of the purchase price to the acquired assets and liabilities. * * * * * 11 PART I, ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS The following information should be read in conjunction with the information contained in the Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements and notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. See the discussion relating to "Forward-Looking Statements" below. Accounting policies that management believes are most critical to the Company's financial condition and operating results pertain to revenue recognition and valuation of unbilled revenues (including estimates of costs to complete engagements); collectibility of accounts receivable; valuation of goodwill; and estimates pertaining to discretionary compensation costs and global effective income tax rates. In deriving accounting estimates, management considered available information and exercised reasonable judgment. However, actual results could differ from these estimates.

Company Overview We are one of the world's largest business consulting and systems integration firms with approximately 17,000 employees. We serve Global 2000 companies, small and medium-sized businesses, government agencies and other organizations. We provide business and technology strategy, systems design and architecture, applications implementation, network infrastructure and managed services. Our service offerings are designed to help our clients deploy business systems to access information on a timely basis, and to create value in their enterprises. On October 2, 2002, KPMG Consulting, Inc. changed its name to BearingPoint, Inc. Our brand name underscores our global commitment to help our clients set clear direction and achieve results. In conjunction with our branding initiative, BearingPoint moved to the New York Stock Exchange and began trading on October 3, 2002, under the new ticker symbol "BE." This move strengthens BearingPoint's reach to potential international investors. We have provided consulting services through five industry groups in which we have significant industry-specific knowledge. These groups are Public Services, Communications & Content, Financial Services, Consumer & Industrial Markets and High Technology. In addition, as a result of our significant international acquisitions, we have established a new International Segment. Our focus on specific industries provides us with the ability to tailor our service offerings to reflect an understanding of the marketplaces in which our clients operate, enabling our clients to achieve their business objectives more quickly and efficiently. We now have multinational operations covering North and South America, Europe and the Asia Pacific region. We utilize this multinational network to provide consistent integrated service to our clients throughout the world. During the first quarter of fiscal 2003, we significantly expanded our European presence with the purchase of KPMG Consulting AG ("KCA"), which has approximately 3,000 employees in Germany, Switzerland and Austria. We furthered our global strategy enabling us to better serve our multinational clients by acquiring all or portions of selected Andersen Business Consulting Practices ("Andersen BC Practices") in Australia, China/Hong Kong, Finland, France, Japan, Norway, Peru, Singapore, South Korea, Spain, Sweden and Switzerland, as well as hiring professionals from Andersen BC Practices in the United States and Brazil. In addition, we strengthened our Latin American business with the acquisition of Ernst & Young's Brazilian consulting practice. HISTORICAL RESULTS OF OPERATIONS OVERVIEW During the three months ended September 30, 2002, the Company completed its acquisition of KCA and a number of acquisitions and other transactions involving Andersen BC Practices around the globe, including the group hire of approximately 1,500 Andersen BC Practice employees in the United States. The Company realized net income for the three months ended September 30, 2002 of $15.2 million, or $0.09 per share, compared to a net loss of $57.6 million, or $0.36 per share including a transitional impairment charge relating to the cumulative effect of change in accounting principle of $80.0 million (net of tax) or $0.50 per share, for the three months ended September 30, 2001. Net income before cumulative effect of change in accounting principle for the quarters ended September 30, 2002 and 2001, were $15.2 million and $22.3 million, respectively. 12 This decrease is principally due to the integration of approximately 1,500 personnel hired from the Andersen BC Practice in the United States, as these professionals were hired on July 1, 2002 and their utilization was, as expected, significantly below our existing business for most of the quarter. Three Months Ended September 30, 2002 Compared to Three Months Ended September 30, 2001 Revenues. Revenues increased $138.7 million, or 22.8%, from $608.9 million in the three months ended September 30, 2001, to $747.6 million in the three months ended September 30, 2002. The overall increase in revenue is attributable to international acquisitions ($127.6 million) and the group hire of Andersen BC Practice personnel in the United States, including collaborative market action with our core business ($52.0 million). Public Services, the Company's largest business unit, generated strong revenue growth of $38.1 million, up 17.4% excluding the impact of acquisitions and other transactions compared to the prior year. International revenue increased $138.7 million from $42.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2001 to $180.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2002 due to acquisitions, group hires and other transactions around the globe. Growth in revenue from Public Services, acquisitions and other transactions was offset by declines in the High Technology and Communications & Content business units, whose clients have been impacted by the uncertain economic environment, thereby impacting their contributions to our business. The Company expects this period of economic uncertainty may continue to impact revenue growth for at least another quarter with the most significant impact being in the Communications & Content industry. However, this is expected to be more than offset by the addition of revenues from recent acquisitions, group hires and other transactions. Gross Margin. Gross margin as a percentage of gross revenues decreased to 23.3% from 26.9% for the three months ended September 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively. This decrease is primarily due to the lower utilization rates for the former U.S. Andersen BC Practice personnel hired on July 1, 2002. In dollar terms, gross margin increased by $10.0 million, or 6.1%, from $164.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2001, to $174.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2002. The increase in gross margin was due to an increase in revenue of $138.7 million described above, partially offset by: o A net increase in professional compensation of $99.8 million, or 40.7%, to $344.8 million compared to $245.1 million in the prior year's quarter. This increase was predominantly due to the addition of approximately 7,000 billable employees through acquisitions and other transactions (including a $3.4 million noncash charge relating to common stock awards to be made to our managing directors from Andersen BC Practices), partially offset by the Company's workforce actions that have occurred over the last 12 months in response to a challenging economy. Overall the Company's average billable headcount has increased 51.2% from approximately 8,400 in the first quarter of fiscal 2002 to 12,700 in the current quarter. o A net increase in other direct contract expenses of $19.2 million, or 13.3%, to $163.4 million, representing 21.9% of revenue, compared to $144.2 million, or 23.7% of revenue in the prior year's quarter. The $19.2 million increase is attributable to higher revenue levels while the improvement as a percentage of revenue is due to the Company's continued efforts to limit the use of subcontractors and travel expenses as well as historically lower use of subcontractors internationally. o A net increase in other costs of service of $9.7 million, or 17.4%, to $65.4 million from $55.6 million, was primarily due to acquisitions and other transactions, partially offset by lower levels of bad debt expense and tighter controls on discretionary expenses. Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses and amortization of purchased intangibles was $142.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2002. This reflects an increase of $22.3 million, or 18.6%, from $119.9 million for the three month period ended September 30, 2001. This increase is principally due to $6.8 million of re-branding costs, $5.0 million of amortization expense related to purchased intangibles (primarily backlog, which will be fully amortized within 12 months) and the impact of the various acquisitions and other transactions, partially offset by reduced discretionary spending and current cost control initiatives. Interest (Income) Expense, Net. Interest (income) expense, net, increased $1.2 million to $1.1 million of net interest expense from $0.1 million of net interest income for the three months ended September 30, 2002 and 2001, 13 respectively. This increase in net interest expense is due to the increase in borrowings outstanding of $322.2 million from $12.3 million at September 30, 2001. The increase in borrowings is primarily due to borrowings of $220.0 million under the Company's new short-term revolving credit facility and $75.0 million of borrowings on its receivables purchase facility predominantly used to finance a portion of the cost of the acquisition of KCA in August 2002. Income Tax Expense. For the three month period ended September 30, 2002, the Company earned income before taxes of $30.7 million and provided income taxes of $15.5 million resulting in an effective tax rate for the quarter of 50.5%. For the three months ended September 30, 2001, the Company earned income before taxes and cumulative effect of change in accounting principle of $44.2 million and provided income taxes of $21.9 million resulting in an effective tax rate for the quarter of 49.5%. The tax rates have been impacted by the non-deductibility of losses associated with certain international operations. Income before Cumulative Effect of Change in Accounting Principle. Income before cumulative effect of change in accounting principle decreased by $7.1 million, from $22.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2001, to $15.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2002. This decrease in profitability reflects lower utilization on billable headcount from acquisitions and other transactions, increased amortization on finite lived intangibles, and re-branding costs partially offset by increased revenues, reduced discretionary spending and cost control initiatives. Cumulative Effect of Change in Accounting Principle. The Company adopted SFAS No. 142 during the first fiscal quarter of the prior year (as of July 1, 2001). This standard eliminated goodwill amortization upon adoption and required an assessment for goodwill impairment upon adoption and at least annually thereafter. As a result of adoption of this standard, the Company no longer amortizes goodwill and during the quarter ended September 30, 2001 incurred a non-cash transitional impairment charge of $80.0 million (net of tax). This transitional impairment charge is a result of the change in accounting principle to measuring impairments on a discounted versus an undiscounted cash flow basis. Net Income (Loss). For the three months ended September 30, 2002, the Company realized net income of $15.2 million, or $0.09 per share. For the three months ended September 30, 2001, the Company realized a net loss applicable to common stockholders of $57.6 million, or $0.36 per share, largely due to recording a transitional impairment charge as a result of a cumulative effect of change in accounting principle. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES At September 30, 2002, the Company had a cash balance of $86.3 million, which is down $117.3 million from June 30, 2002 predominantly due to funding various acquisitions, group hires and other transactions around the globe. The Company has funded these transactions and operations through cash generated from operations, borrowings from various credit agreements of $330.5 million and the issuance of 30.5 million shares of common stock valued at $11.96 per share. The Company has borrowing arrangements available including a revolving credit facility with an outstanding balance of $24.0 million at September 30, 2002 (not to exceed $250 million), a short-term revolving credit facility with an outstanding balance of $220.0 million at September 30, 2002 (not to exceed $220 million), and an accounts receivable financing facility with an outstanding balance of $75.0 million at September 30, 2002 (not to exceed $150 million). The $250 million and $220 million revolving credit facilities expire on May 29, 2005 and December 15, 2002, respectively. The accounts receivable purchase agreement permits "sales" of accounts receivable through May 23, 2003, subject to annual renewal. The accounts receivable purchase agreement is accounted for as a financing transaction; accordingly, it is not an off-balance sheet financing arrangement. The Company intends to replace the short-term revolving credit facility with other financing prior to December 15, 2002. The $250 million revolving credit facility includes affirmative, negative and financial covenants, including, among others, covenants restricting the Company's ability to incur liens and indebtedness, purchase the Company's securities, and pay dividends and requiring the Company to maintain a minimum level of net worth ($832.7 million as of September 30, 2002), maintain fixed charge coverage of at least 1.25 to 1.00 (as defined) and maintain a leverage ratio not to exceed 2.50 to 1.00 (as defined). We are in compliance with the financial ratios, covenants and other restrictions imposed by this credit facility. The credit facility contains customary events of default and a default (i) upon the acquisition by a person or group of beneficial ownership of 30% or more of the Company's common stock, or (ii) if within a period of six calendar months, a majority of the officers of the Company's executive committee cease to serve on its executive committee, and their terminations or departures materially affect the Company's business. The receivables purchase agreement contains covenants that are consistent with the Company's $250 million revolving credit facility and cross defaults to the $250 million revolving credit facility. The 14 short-term revolving credit facility provides that upon receipt of proceeds by the Company from certain dispositions of assets or issuances of equity or debt securities, the revolving credit commitments will automatically be reduced by certain amounts in the case of such dispositions, or by the amount of proceeds received in the case of an issuance of securities, and the Company is required to repay amounts due that exceed the reduced credit commitments. Under the transition services agreement with KPMG LLP (which terminates no later than February 8, 2004 for non-technology services and February 8, 2005 for technology-related services), the Company contracted to receive certain infrastructure support services from KPMG LLP until the Company completes the build-out of its own infrastructure. If the Company terminates services prior to the end of the term for such services, the Company may be obligated to pay KPMG LLP termination costs, as defined in the transition services agreement, incurred as a result of KPMG LLP winding down and terminating such services. KPMG LLP and the Company have agreed that during the term of the transition services agreement the parties will work together to minimize any termination costs (including transitioning personnel and contracts from KPMG LLP to our Company), and our Company will wind down its receipt of services from KPMG LLP and develop its own internal infrastructure and support capabilities or seek third party providers of such services. The Company has given notice to KPMG LLP of its intent to terminate certain services in fiscal 2003 for which the amount of termination costs have either not been determined by KPMG LLP or not agreed upon by the parties. In July 2002, the Company paid KPMG LLP $30.8 million representing KPMG LLP's net book value of leasehold improvements purchased by KPMG LLP and used exclusively by the Company. Based on information currently available, the Company anticipates paying KPMG LLP approximately $40 million to $60 million for the sale and transfer of additional capital assets (such as computer equipment, furniture and leasehold improvements) currently used by the Company through the transition services agreement (for which usage charges are included in the monthly costs under the agreement). The specific identification and net book value of capital assets that may or may not be transferred to our Company by KPMG LLP in the future, as well as the timing of any such transfers, are subject to negotiation and cannot be readily determined at this time. Until the Company takes ownership of these capital assets, the transition services agreement provides an off-balance sheet financing arrangement. The amount of termination costs that the Company will pay to KPMG LLP in the future cannot be reasonably estimated at this time. The Company believes that the amount of termination costs yet to be assessed will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's consolidated financial position, cash flows, or liquidity. Whether such amounts could have a material effect on the results of operations in a particular quarter or fiscal year cannot be determined at this time. Cash used in operating activities during the three months ended September 30, 2002 was $11.9 million, principally due to cash operating results of $31.0 million more than offset by an increase in accounts receivable and unbilled revenues of $45.8 million. The increase in accounts receivable and unbilled revenues is primarily due to receivables and unbilled balances from acquired entities and other transactions for which no balance sheet was acquired. Cash used in investing activities during the three months ended September 30, 2002 was $442.3 million principally due to $3.8 million in purchases of property and equipment, $30.8 million for the purchase of capital assets from KPMG LLP, and $400.8 million paid for acquisitions. Cash provided by financing activities for the three months ended September 30, 2002 was $336.9 million, principally due to net proceeds from borrowings of $324.5 million and $12.5 million from the issuance of common stock primarily relating to the Company's employee stock purchase plan. While the Company expects this period of economic uncertainty may continue to impact revenue growth for at least another quarter, we continue to actively manage client billings and collections and maintain tight controls over discretionary expenses. The Company believes that the cash provided from operations, borrowings available under the various existing credit facilities, and existing cash balances along with additional financing expected to be completed prior to December 15, 2002 will be sufficient to meet working capital and capital expenditure needs for at least the next 12 months. RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS On July 30, 2002, The Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued SFAS No. 146, "Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities." The statement requires companies to recognize costs associated with exit or disposal activities when they are incurred rather than at the date of a commitment to an exit or disposal plan. Examples of costs covered by the statement include lease termination costs and certain employee severance costs that are associated with a restructuring, discontinued operation, plant closing, or other exit or disposal activity. SFAS No. 146 is to be applied prospectively to exit or disposal activities initiated after December 31, 2002. The Company is currently 15 evaluating the requirements and impact of this statement on our consolidated results of operations and financial position. On October 25, 2002 the Emerging Issues Task Force ("EITF") reached a tentative consensus on Issue 00-21, "Accounting for Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables" which addresses how to account for arrangements that may involve the delivery or performance of multiple products, services, and/or rights to use assets. The EITF plans to ratify this decision at its November 20-21, 2002 meeting and make the final consensus applicable to transactions completed in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2002. The Company is currently evaluating the requirements and impact of this issue on our consolidated results of operations and financial position. DISCLOSURE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS Some of the statements in this report constitute "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements relate to our operations that are based on our current expectations, estimates and projections. Words such as "may," "will," "could," "would," "should," "anticipate," "predict," "potential," "continue," "expects," "intends," "plans," "projects," "believes," "estimates" and similar expressions are used to identify these forward-looking statements. These statements are only predictions and as such are not guarantees of future performance and involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions that are difficult to predict. Forward-looking statements are based upon assumptions as to future events or our future financial performance that may not prove to be accurate. Actual outcomes and results may differ materially from what is expressed or forecast in these forward-looking statements. As a result, these statements speak only as of the date they were made, and we undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. Our actual results may differ from the forward-looking statements for many reasons, including: o the business decisions of our clients regarding the use of our services; o the timing of projects and their termination; o the availability of talented professionals to provide our services; o the pace of technological change; o the strength of our joint marketing relationships; o the actions of our competitors; and o unexpected difficulties associated with our recent acquisitions, group hires and other transactions involving KCA and the former Andersen BC Practices. In addition, our results and forward-looking statements could be affected by general domestic and international economic and political conditions, including the current slowdown in the economy, uncertainty as to the future direction of the economy and vulnerability of the economy to domestic or international incidents, as well as market conditions in our industry. For a more detailed discussion of certain of these factors, see Exhibit 99.1 to this Form 10-Q. We caution the reader that the factors we have identified above may not be exhaustive. We operate in a continually changing business environment, and new factors that may affect our forward-looking statements emerge from time to time. Management cannot predict such new factors, nor can it assess the impact, if any, of such new factors on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those implied by any forward-looking statements. 16 PART I, ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK We are exposed to a number of market risks in the ordinary course of business. These risks, which include interest rate risk and foreign currency exchange risk, arise in the normal course of business rather than from trading activities. Our exposure to changes in interest rates arises primarily because our indebtedness under our bank credit facilities carries variable interest rates. In anticipation of refinancing our $220 million short-term revolving credit facility used to fund recent acquisitions, the Company entered into treasury rate locks on $125 million of five year debt. The treasury locks are expected to convert fixed rate cash flows at 6.71% associated with the $125 million to a fixed rate of approximately 6.57%. See also Note 7 in the Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements above. Our exposure to changes in foreign currency rates primarily relates to net investment exposure, arising from acquisitions in and working capital advances provided to certain international operations, including risk from the recent acquisitions, group hires and other transactions in Europe, Asia Pacific and Latin America. PART I, ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES Within the 90 day period prior to the date of this report, the Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company's management, including the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures. Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures are adequately designed to timely notify them to material information relating to the Company required to be disclosed in the Company's SEC filings. CHANGES IN INTERNAL CONTROLS There have been no significant changes in the Company's internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect those controls since the date of their evaluation, including any corrective actions with regard to significant deficiencies and material weaknesses. PART II. OTHER INFORMATION ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS We are from time to time the subject of lawsuits and other claims and regulatory proceedings arising in the ordinary course of our business. We do not expect that any of these matters, individually or in the aggregate, will have a material impact on our financial condition or results of operations. Item 2. CHANGES IN SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS On August 22, 2002, as partial consideration for its acquisition of KCA, the Company issued 30,471,309 shares of its common stock to the former stockholders of KCA pursuant to a share purchase agreement among the Company, KPMG DTG, the majority stockholder of KCA, and the minority stockholders of KCA as set forth in the share purchase agreement. The shares were issued in a private placement pursuant to the exemption from registration under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933. ITEMS 3-4. NONE ITEM 5. OTHER INFORMATION Robert C. Lamb, Jr., Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of the Company, has accepted a comparable position with FleetBoston Financial. Mr. Lamb will be Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of FleetBoston Financial. His responsibilities will be transitioned prior to calendar year end. Mr. Lamb held a variety of positions during a 14-year career with FleetBoston Financial, including as its Corporate Controller from 1993 to 2000. In June 2000, he joined our Company in his current position. We have commenced a search for Mr. Lamb's replacement. ITEM 6.
