AFFILIATED COMPUTER SERVICES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
We are a Fortune 500 and S&P 500 company with approximately 58,000 employees providing business
process and information technology services to commercial and government clients. We were
incorporated in Delaware on June 8, 1988 and are based in Dallas, Texas. Our clients have
time-critical, transaction-intensive business and information processing needs, and we typically
service these needs through long-term contracts. The consolidated
financial statements are comprised of our accounts and our controlled subsidiaries. All
significant intercompany accounts and transactions have
been eliminated in consolidation.
The financial information presented should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial
statements for the year ended June 30, 2006. The foregoing unaudited consolidated financial
statements reflect all adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair
presentation of the results of the interim periods. The results for the interim periods are not
necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the year.
We present cost of revenues in our Consolidated Statements of Income based on the nature of the
costs incurred. Substantially all these costs are incurred in the provision of services to our
customers. The selling, general and administrative costs included in cost of revenues are not
material and are not separately presented in the Consolidated Statements of Income.
Significant accounting policies are detailed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
June 30, 2006. For a discussion of our critical accounting policies, please refer to Managements
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations herein.
Financial results for the first quarter of the fiscal year 2006 have been restated as a
result of the review of our stock option grant practices and other tax
matters discussed in Note 2. Please see Note 2 to our Consolidated
Financial Statements and our Annual Report
on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2006 for further discussion of this restatement.
2. REVIEW OF STOCK OPTION GRANT PRACTICES
On March 3, 2006 we received notice from the Securities and Exchange Commission that it is
conducting an informal investigation into certain stock option grants made by us from October 1998
through March 2005. On June 7, 2006 and on June 16, 2006 we received requests from the SEC for
information on all of our stock option grants since 1994. We have responded to the SECs requests
for information and are cooperating in the informal investigation.
On May 17, 2006, we received a grand jury subpoena from the United States District Court, Southern
District of New York requesting production of documents related to granting of our stock option
grants. We have responded to the grand jury subpoena and have provided documents to the United
States Attorneys Office in connection with the grand jury proceeding. We have informed the
Securities and Exchange Commission and the United States Attorneys Office for the Southern
District of New York of the results of our internal investigation into our stock option grant
practices and will continue to cooperate with these governmental entities and their investigations.
We initiated an internal investigation of our stock option grant practices in response to the
pending informal investigation by the Securities and Exchange Commission and a subpoena from a
grand jury in the Southern District of New York. The investigation reviewed our historical stock
option grant practices during the period from 1994 through 2005, including all 73 stock option
grants made by us during this period, and the related disclosure in our Form 10-Q for the
quarter ended March 31, 2006, filed May 15, 2006 (the May 2006 Form 10-Q).
The investigation was overseen by a special committee of the Board of Directors which consisted of
all the independent members of the Board. The special committee retained Bracewell & Giuliani LLP
as independent counsel to conduct the internal investigation. In November 2006 the results of the
investigation were reported to the special committee, at which time the committee submitted
recommendations for action to the Board. These recommendations are now being implemented by the
Board substantially as submitted by the special committee.
During the course of the investigation, more than 2 million pages of electronic and hardcopy
documents and emails were reviewed. In addition, approximately 40 interviews of current and former
officers, directors, employees and other individuals were conducted. The independent directors, in
their role as special committee members and as independent directors prior to formation of the
committee, met extensively since the SEC informal investigation commenced to consider the matters
related to the stock option grant practices. The investigation was necessarily limited in that the
investigation team did not have access to certain witnesses with relevant

(UNAUDITED)
information (including
former Chief Executive Officer, Jeffrey A. Rich) and due to the lack of metadata for certain
electronic documentation prior to 2000.
The following background pertaining to our historical stock option grant practices was confirmed
through the investigation. Option grants were typically initiated by our senior management or
Darwin Deason, Chairman of the Board (and chairman of the compensation committee from 1994 through
August 2003), on a prospective basis at times when they believed it was appropriate to consider
option grants and the price of our common stock was relatively low based on an analysis of, among
other things, price-earnings multiples. With respect to each grant of options to senior
executives, the Chairman gave a broad authorization to the CEO which included approval of option
recipients and the number of stock options to be awarded to each recipient. In the case of
non-senior management grants, the Chairman gave his general authorization for the awarding of
options and the CEO would subsequently obtain his approval of option recipients and the number of
stock options to be awarded. With respect to both senior executive and non-senior management
grants, after the Chairmans broad authorization, Jeffrey A. Rich,
Mark A. King and/or Warren D. Edwards then
selected the date to be recorded as the grant date as they, assisted by employees who reported to
them, prepared the paperwork that documented the grant recommendations to be considered by the
applicable compensation committee. Thus, between 1994 and 2005, grant dates and related exercise
prices were generally selected by Mr. Rich, Mr. King, and/or Mr. Edwards. Mr. Rich served as CFO
during the period prior to 1994 and until May 1995, President and Chief Operating Officer from May
1995 until February 1999, President and Chief Executive Officer from February 1999 until August
2002, and Chief Executive Officer from August 2002 until his resignation September 29, 2005. Mr.
King served as CFO from May 1995 through March 2001, COO from March 2001 through August 2002,
President and COO from August 2002 through September 2005, and President and CEO from September
2005 through November 26, 2006. Mr. Edwards served as CFO from March 2001 through November 26,
2006.
As described in our May 2006 Form 10-Q, our regular and special compensation committees used
unanimous written consents signed by all members of the committee ratifying their prior verbal
approvals of option grants to senior executives or options granted in connection with significant
acquisitions. In connection with option grants to senior executives, the historical practice was
for the Chairman, on or about the day he gave senior management his broad authorization to proceed
with preparing paperwork for option grants, to call each of the compensation committee members to
discuss and obtain approval for the grants. In cases where grants were awarded to senior
executives and in large blocks to non-senior management the Chairman and members of the
compensation committee discussed grants to senior executives specifically and, on certain
occasions, acknowledged generally that a block of grants would be awarded to non-senior management
as well. For grants to non-senior management which were not combined with senior executive grants,
the Chairman and the committee members generally did not discuss the grants at the time the
Chairman gave his broad authorization to senior management to proceed with preparing paperwork for
option grants, but unanimous written consents were subsequently signed by the committee members in
order to document the effective date of the grants.
The investigation concluded that in a significant number of cases Mr. Rich, Mr. King and/or Mr.
Edwards used hindsight to select favorable grant dates during the limited time periods after Mr.
Deason had given the officers his authorization to proceed to prepare the paperwork for the option
grants and before formal grant documentation was submitted to the applicable compensation
committee. No evidence was found to suggest that grant dates which preceded Mr. Deasons broad
authorization were ever selected. In a number of instances, our stock price was trending downward
at the time Mr. Deasons authorization was given, but started to rise as the grant recommendation
memoranda were being finalized. The investigation found that in those instances Mr. Rich, Mr. King
and/or Mr. Edwards often looked back in time and selected as the grant date a date on which the
price was at a low, notwithstanding that the date had already passed and the stock price on the
date of the actual selection was higher. Recommendation memoranda attendant to these grants were
intentionally misdated at the direction of Mr. Rich, Mr. King and/or Mr. Edwards to make it appear
as if the memoranda had been created at or about the time of the chosen grant date, when in fact,
they had been created afterwards. As a result, stock options were awarded at prices that were at,
or near, the quarterly low and we effectively granted in the money options without recording the
appropriate compensation expense.
The evidence gathered in the investigation disclosed that aside from Mr. Rich, Mr. King and Mr.
Edwards, one other of our current management employees, who is not an executive officer or
director, was aware of the intentional misdating of documents. Based on the evidence reviewed, no
other current executives, directors or management employees were aware of either the improper use
of hindsight in selecting grant dates or the intentional misdating of documents. It was also
determined that these improper practices were generally followed with respect to option grants made
to both senior executives and other employees. No evidence was found to suggest that the practices
were selectively employed to favor executive officers over other employees.
Further, with respect to our May 2006 Form 10-Q, the investigation concluded that Note 3 to the
Consolidated Financial Statements which stated, in part, that we did not believe that any director
or officer of the Company has engaged in the intentional backdating of stock option grants in order
to achieve a more advantageous exercise price, was inaccurate because, at the time the May 2006
Form 10-Q was filed, Mr. King and Mr. Edwards either knew or should have known that we awarded
options through a process in which
5
AFFILIATED COMPUTER SERVICES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
favorable grant dates were selected with the benefit of
hindsight in order to achieve a more advantageous exercise price and that the term backdating was
readily applicable to our option grant process. Neither Mr. King nor Mr. Edwards told our
directors, outside counsel or independent accountants that our stock options were often granted by
looking back and taking advantage of past low prices. Instead, both Mr. King and Mr. Edwards
attributed the disparity between recorded grant dates and the creation dates of the paperwork
attendant to the stock option grants to other factors that did not involve the use of hindsight.
The investigation concluded that the conduct of Mr. King and Mr. Edwards with regard to the
misdating of recommendation memoranda as well as their conduct with regard to the May 2006 Form
10-Q violated our Code of Ethics for Senior Financial Officers. As a result the special committee
recommended that Mr. King and Mr. Edwards should resign. Effective November 26, 2006 each of Mr.
King and Mr. Edwards resigned from all executive management positions with us. See Note 14.
Departure of Executive Officers for a discussion of the terms of their separation.
The Board of Directors appointed Lynn Blodgett, who had been serving as our Executive Vice
President and Chief Operating Officer and as a director since September 2005, as President and
Chief Executive Officer, and John Rexford, who had been serving as
Executive Vice President
Corporate Development since March 2001, as Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer and
as a director, in each case effective on November 26, 2006. Mr. Blodgett and Mr. Rexford each have
served in various executive capacities with us for over ten years.
In addition to the resignations of Mr. King and Mr. Edwards and the approval of the terms of their
separation, the Board of Directors announced the
following actions and decisions, some of which have already been implemented, as the result of the
findings of our stock option investigation:
|
|
|
The stock options held by our employees (other than Messrs. King and Edwards and one
management employee) will be adjusted as necessary, with the optionees consent, to avoid
adverse tax consequences to the employee, and we will compensate such employees for any
increase in exercise price resulting from the matters which were the subject of the
internal investigation. |
|
|
|
|
Our non-employee directors, to avoid the appearance of inappropriate gain, voluntarily
agreed that with respect to any historical option grants to them which require
incremental compensation expense as a result of revised measurement dates, the
exercise price will be increased to equal the fair market value of the stock on the revised measurement date, regardless of whether such increase is necessary to avoid
adverse tax consequences to the director. The non-employee directors will not be
reimbursed to offset any individual loss of economic benefit related to such
repriced stock options. |
|
|
|
|
Another employee (not an officer as defined in Rule 16a-1(f) under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934) will be reassigned and all of such employees stock options will be
repriced so that the exercise price equals the fair market value of our stock on the proper
measurement date. |
|
|
|
|
We will consider whether to recover certain profits from Jeffrey A. Rich, former Chief
Executive Officer, which relate to stock options awarded to Mr. Rich which the internal
investigation concluded were awarded through a process in which favorable grant dates were
selected after the fact. |
|
|
|
|
We implemented, or are in the process of implementing, a number of changes to our
internal controls, including: |
|
o |
|
After reviewing the results of the investigation to date, our Board of
Directors determined that it would be appropriate to accept the resignations of Mr.
King and Mr. Edwards. Our Board of Directors has since appointed a new Chief
Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer. |
|
|
o |
|
Designating internal legal and accounting staffs to oversee the
documentation and accounting of all grants of stock options or restricted stock. |
|
|
o |
|
Monitoring industry and regulatory developments in stock option and
restricted stock awards and implementing and maintaining best practices with respect
to grants of stock options or restricted stock. |
|
|
o |
|
Adhering to the practice of making annual grants on a date certain and
through board or committee meetings, and not through a unanimous written consent
process. This change has already been implemented. |
We have concluded that there were accounting errors with respect to a number of stock option
grants. In general, these stock options were originally granted with an exercise price equal to the
NYSE or NASDAQ closing market price for our common stock on the date
6
AFFILIATED COMPUTER SERVICES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
set forth on unanimous written
consents signed by one or more members of the appropriate Compensation Committees. We originally
used the stated date of these consents as the measurement date for the purpose of accounting for
them under Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP), and as a result recorded no
compensation expense in connection with the grants.
We have concluded that a number of unanimous written consents were not fully executed or effective
on the date set forth on the consents and that using the date stated thereon as the measurement
date was incorrect. We have determined a revised measurement date for each stock option grant based
on the information now available to us. The revised measurement date reflects the date for which
there is objective evidence that the required granting actions necessary to approve the grants, in
accordance with our corporate governance procedures, were completed. The accounting guidelines we
used in determining the correct accounting measurement date
for our option grants require clear evidence of final corporate granting action approving the
option grants. Therefore, while the internal investigation did not conclude that option grant
dates with respect to certain grants had been selected with hindsight, we nevertheless concluded in
many cases that the accounting measurement dates for these grants should be adjusted because the
final corporate granting action occurred after the original grant date reflected in our unanimous
written consents. In cases where the closing market price on the revised measurement date exceeded
the NYSE or NASDAQ closing market price on the original measurement date, we have recognized
compensation expense equal to this excess over the vesting term of
each option, in accordance with Accounting Principles Board Opinion
No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,
(APB 25) for periods ending on or before June 30, 2005. Additionally, beginning July 1, 2005, we have
recognized compensation expense in accordance with Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based Payment (SFAS 123(R)) based on the fair value of stock
options granted, using the revised measurement dates.
Subsequent to the delivery of the results of the investigation, we, with the approval of our Audit
Committee, have determined that the cumulative non-cash stock-based compensation expense adjustment
was material and that our consolidated financial statements for each of the first three quarters
of fiscal year ended June 30, 2006, each of the quarters in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2005 and each of the
fiscal years ended June 30, 2005 and June 30, 2004, as well as the selected consolidated financial
data for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2003 and 2002 should be restated to record additional stock-based compensation expense resulting from stock options granted during 1994 to 2005 that were incorrectly accounted for under GAAP, and related income tax effects.
Related income tax effects include deferred income tax benefits on the compensation expense, and
additional income tax liabilities and estimated penalties and interest related to the application
of Internal Revenue Code Section 162(m) and related Treasury
Regulations (Section 162(m)) to stock-based executive
compensation previously deducted, that is now no longer deductible as a result of revised
measurement dates of certain stock option grants.
We have also included in our restatements additional income tax
liabilities and estimated penalties and interest, with adjustments to
additional paid-in capital and income tax expense, related to certain
cash and stock-based executive compensation deductions previously
taken under Section 162(m), which we believe may now be
non-deductible as a result of information that has been obtained by
us in connection with our internal investigation, due to factors unrelated to revised measurement dates. Our decision to restate our financial statements was based on
the facts obtained by management and the special committee.
We have determined that the cumulative, pre-tax, non-cash stock-based compensation expense
resulting from revised measurement dates was approximately $51.2 million during the period from our
initial public offering in 1994 through June 30, 2006. The corrections relate to options covering
approximately 19.4 million shares. We recorded additional stock-based compensation expense of $2.1
million for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2006 and $6.1 million and $7.5 million for the fiscal
years ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively, and $35.5 million for fiscal years ending prior
to fiscal 2004. Previously reported total revenues were not impacted by our restatement. The table
below reflects the cumulative effect on our stockholders equity during the period from our initial
public offering in 1994 through June 30, 2006 (in thousands):

Estimated interest and penalties on income tax underpayment deficiencies resulting from
disallowed executive compensation deductions under Section 162(m). |
Please see our Consolidated Statement of Income and Consolidated
Statement of Cash Flows below for the impact on our September 30, 2005 financial information.
In connection with the restatement of our consolidated financial statements discussed above, we
assessed the impact of the findings of our internal investigation into our historical stock option
grant practices and other tax matters on our reported income tax benefits and deductions, including
income tax deductions previously taken for cash and stock-based executive compensation under the
provisions of Section 162(m). In connection with that assessment, we determined that adjustments were
required to our (i) income tax expense previously reported in our Consolidated Statements of
Income; (ii) the tax benefits on stock option exercises previously reported in our Consolidated Statements of Cash
Flows and Consolidated Statement of Changes in Stockholders Equity and (iii) the deferred tax
assets previously reported in our Consolidated Balance Sheets, in order to give effect to the
impact of the investigation findings and those of our assessments.
In our Consolidated Statements of Income, we recorded deferred income tax benefits of $0.8 million,
$2.2 million and $2.7 million for the fiscal years ending June 30, 2006, 2005 and 2004,
respectively, and $9.6 million for periods prior to fiscal year 2004 related to the stock-based
compensation adjustments arising from revised measurement dates. Of
these cumulative deferred income tax benefits of $15.3 million, $10.2 million has been realized through June 30, 2006 upon stock option exercises and has
been reflected as a reduction of excess tax benefits previously
recorded in additional paid-in capital. At June 30, 2006 and 2005, we recorded adjustments in our Consolidated
Balance Sheets of $5.1 million and $9.2 million, respectively, to recognize deferred income tax
assets on stock-based compensation relating to unexercised stock
options remaining at those dates.
We also recorded current income
tax benefits of $1.1

million, $0.6 million and $0.4 million for the fiscal years ending June 30,
2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively, and $0.1 million for
periods prior to fiscal year 2004 related to the income tax benefit of the estimated deductible
interest expense on income tax underpayment deficiencies related to
disallowed cash and stock-based executive compensation deductions
previously taken under Section 162(m) as discussed in Other tax matters below. These income tax benefits are reduced by
current income tax expense of $0 million, $0.6 million and $1.2 million for the fiscal years June
30, 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively, and $2.8 million for periods prior to fiscal year 2004
related to disallowed cash based executive incentive compensation deductions that were previously
believed to qualify as a deduction under Section 162(m). The sum of these current and deferred
income tax adjustments are reflected as income tax benefit, net, in the above tables.
The components of income tax benefit, net, are as follows (in thousands):

Other tax matters
The revision of measurement dates for certain stock option grants in connection with our internal
investigation required us to assess our previous performance-based cash and stock-based executive
compensation income tax deductions previously claimed under Section 162(m) during the applicable
periods. As a result of those assessments, we have determined that certain previously claimed
stock-based executive compensation deductions under Section 162(m) upon stock option exercise are
no longer deductible as a result of revised in-the-money measurement dates. Accordingly, our
restatements include adjustments to record additional income taxes payable in the amount of $13.4
million with a corresponding reduction of excess tax benefits previously recorded in additional
paid-in capital. Our restatements also include adjustments to record additional income taxes
payable in the amount of approximately $15 million with a corresponding reduction of excess tax
benefits previously recorded in additional paid-in capital of $10.5 million and an increase in
current income tax expense of $4.5 million, related to certain cash and stock-based executive
compensation deductions previously taken under Section 162(m), which we
believe may now be non-deductible as a result of information that has been obtained by us in
connection with our internal investigation, due to factors unrelated to revised measurement dates. We have also
recorded estimated penalties and interest in the amount of $3 million, $2.5 million and $2.5
million for the years ended June 30, 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively, and $3.5 million for
periods prior to fiscal year 2004 for these estimated income tax payment deficiencies.
At
September 30, 2006, we have recorded approximately $38.5 million of additional income taxes payable,
including estimated interest and penalties related to disallowed Section 162(m) executive
compensation deductions either resulting from revised measurement dates or due to factors unrelated
to revised measurement dates, but which were previously believed to qualify for Section 162(m)
deductions. At this time, we cannot predict when the Section 162(m) underpayment deficiencies,
together with interest and penalties, if any, will be paid. We expect to fund any such payment from
cash flows from operating activities.

Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code (Section 409A) provides that option holders with
options granted with a below-market exercise price, to the extent the options were not vested as of
December 31, 2004, may be subject to adverse Federal income tax consequences. Holders of these
options will likely be required to recognize taxable income at the date of vesting for those
options vesting after December 31, 2004, rather than upon exercise, on the difference between the
amount of the fair market value of our Class
A common stock on the date of vesting and the exercise price, plus an additional 20 percent penalty
tax and interest on any income tax to be paid. We will be amending the exercise price of certain
outstanding stock options to avoid adverse tax consequences to individual option holders under
Section 409A and all of our employees and executives (other than Mark A. King, former President and
Chief Executive Officer; Warren D. Edwards, former Executive Vice President and Chief Financial
Officer; and one management employee) will be reimbursed to offset any loss of economic benefit
related to such re-priced stock options. We will not be re-pricing all option grants for which
accounting measurement dates were adjusted. Option grants to executives, employees and certain
former employees whose options remain outstanding will be re-priced only to the extent necessary to
avoid adverse tax consequences to the individuals, other than Mr. King, Mr. Edwards and one
management employee. Grants to certain current and former officers and employee directors were
required to be repriced on or before December 31, 2006 in order to comply with income tax
regulations, and accordingly, on December 28, 2006, we repriced awards totaling 876,800 shares held
by certain current and former officers and employee directors.
We expect to pay to certain current and former employees approximately $8 million in order to
compensate such individuals for any increase in exercise price resulting from the matters which
were the subject of the internal investigation, in order to avoid the adverse individual income tax
impact of Section 409A due to revised measurement dates. The $8 million related to Section 409A
will be paid to the affected individuals beginning in January 2008 and
as the related stock options vest. We
expect to fund any such payment from cash flows from operating
activities, however, we have not yet determined the impact to our
results of operations and financial condition. The increase in the
exercise prices to be paid by optionholders upon their exercise is expected to offset, in the
aggregate, the $8 million; however, the timing of any such exercises cannot be determined.

weighted average shares outstanding for the period used in calculating basic earnings per
share, plus the dilutive effect of stock options outstanding during the period. Share

3. ACQUISITION
In July 2006, we completed the acquisition of Primax Recoveries, Inc. (Primax), one of the
industrys oldest and largest health care cost recovery firms. The transaction was valued at
approximately $40 million, plus related transaction costs excluding contingent consideration of up
to $10 million based upon future financial performance and was funded from cash on hand and
borrowings on our Credit Facility (defined below). The purchase price was allocated to assets
acquired and liabilities assumed based on estimated fair value as of the date of acquisition. We
acquired assets of $63.8 million and assumed liabilities of $23.8 million. We recorded $19.6
million in goodwill, which is not deductible for income tax purposes, and intangible assets of
$20.5 million. The $20.5 million of intangible assets is attributable to customer relationships
and non-compete agreements with weighted average useful lives of 11 years. We believe this
acquisition expands our payor offering to include subrogation and overpayment recovery services to
help clients improve profitability while maintaining their valued relationships with plan
participants, employers and providers. The operating results of the acquired business are included
in our financial statements in the Commercial segment from the effective date of the acquisition,
July 12, 2006.
4. DIVESTITURES
In December 2005, we completed the divestiture of substantially all of our Government
welfare-to-workforce services business (the WWS Divestiture) to Arbor E&T, LLC (Arbor), a
wholly owned subsidiary of ResCare, Inc., for approximately $69 million, less transaction costs.
Assets sold were approximately $30.3 million and liabilities assumed by Arbor were approximately
$0.2 million, both of which were included in the Government segment. We retained the net working
capital related to the WWS Divestiture. We recognized a pretax gain of $0.7 million ($0.4 million, net of
income tax) and $0 in the first quarter of fiscal years 2007 and 2006, respectively, upon the
assignment of customer contracts to Arbor. During fiscal year 2006, we recorded a gain of $33.5
million ($20.1 million, net of income tax). Approximately $3 million of the consideration relates
to certain customer contracts whose assignment to Arbor was not complete as of September 30, 2006,
and is reflected as deferred proceeds in other accrued liabilities in our Consolidated Balance
Sheet as of September 30, 2006. We completed the transfers of these remaining contracts to Arbor
in the second quarter of fiscal year 2007. The after tax proceeds from the divestiture were
primarily used for general corporate purposes.
Revenues from the WWS Divestiture were $0.6 million and $53.5 million for the first quarter of
fiscal years 2007 and 2006, respectively. Operating (loss) income from the WWS Divestiture,
excluding the gain on sale, was ($0.5 million) and $4.5 million for the first quarter of fiscal
years 2007 and 2006, respectively.
The welfare-to-workforce services business is no longer strategic or core to our operating
philosophy. This divestiture allows us to focus on our technology-enabled business process
outsourcing and information technology service offerings.
At September 30, 2006, we classified as assets held for sale certain customer contracts related to
the WWS Divestiture whose transfer to Arbor was not complete as of September 30, 2006. The
following table sets forth the assets held for sale included in prepaid expenses and other current
assets in our Consolidated Balance Sheets (in thousands):

RESTRUCTURING ACTIVITIES
During fiscal year 2006, we began a comprehensive assessment of our operations, including our
overall cost structure, competitive position, technology assets and operating platform and foreign
operations. As a result, we began certain restructuring initiatives and activities that are
expected to enhance our competitive position in certain markets, and recorded certain restructuring
charges and asset impairments arising from our discretionary decisions. We estimate a total of
2,100 employees will be involuntarily terminated as a result of these initiatives, consisting
primarily of offshore processors and related management; however, we anticipate that a majority of
these positions will be migrated to lower cost markets. As of September 30, 2006, approximately
2,000 employees have been involuntarily terminated.
In our Commercial segment, we recorded a restructuring charge for involuntary termination of
employees of $4.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2006, which is reflected in
wages and benefits in our Consolidated Statements of Income, and $0.9
14

(UNAUDITED)
million for the three months
ended September 30, 2006, for impairments of facility costs and facility shutdown charges, which
are reflected as part of total operating expenses in our Consolidated Statements of Income. In our
Government segment, we recorded a
restructuring charge for involuntary termination of employees of $0.4 million for the three months
ended September 30, 2006, which is reflected in wages and benefits in our Consolidated Statements
of Income.
The following table summarizes activity for the accrual for involuntary termination of employees
for the three months ended September 30, 2006 (in thousands), exclusive of the Acquired HR Business

The September 30, 2006 accrual for involuntary termination of employees is expected to be paid
primarily in fiscal year 2007 from cash flows from operating activities.
During fiscal year 2005, we acquired the human resources consulting and outsourcing businesses of
Mellon Financial Corporation (the Acquired HR Business). In the fourth quarter of fiscal year
2006, we substantially completed the integration of the Acquired HR Business. The integration
included the elimination of redundant facilities, marketing and overhead costs, and the
consolidation of processes from the historical cost structure of the
acquired Mellon organization. The liabilities recorded at closing for the Acquired HR Business
include $22.3 million in involuntary employee termination costs for employees of the Acquired HR
Business in accordance with Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 95-3 Recognition of Liabilities
in Connection with a Purchase Business Combination. During the first quarter of fiscal year 2007,
$0.4 million in involuntary employee termination payments were made and charged against accrued
compensation bringing the total payments made to $16.1 million. We also recorded a $3.1 million
and a $1.2 million reduction to the accrual and to goodwill in fiscal year 2006 and the first
quarter of fiscal year 2007, respectively, as a result of a change in our estimates of severance to
be paid. As of September 30, 2006, the balance of the related accrual was $1.9 million and is
expected to be paid primarily in fiscal year 2007 from cash flows from operating activities.

Primax (see Note 3). Approximately $2 billion, or 80.3%, of the original gross amount of goodwill
recorded is deductible for income tax purposes.

Aggregate amortization includes amounts charged to amortization expense for customer-related
intangibles and other intangibles, other than contract inducements. Amortization of contract
inducements of $3.8 million and $3.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2006 and
2005, respectively, is recorded as a reduction of related contract revenue. Amortization expense
includes approximately $10.2 million and $9.8 million for acquired customer-related intangibles for
the three months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively. Amortizable intangible assets
are amortized over the related contract term. The amortization period of customer-related
intangible assets ranges from 1 to 17 years, with a weighted average of approximately 9 years. The
amortization period for all other intangible assets, including trademarks, ranges from 3 to 20
years, with a weighted average of approximately 6 years.
7. LONG-TERM DEBT
Credit Facility
On July 6, 2006, we amended our secured term loan facility (Term Loan Facility) under our Credit
Agreement dated March 20, 2006 (Credit Facility) and borrowed an additional $500 million on July
6, 2006 and an additional $500 million on August 1, 2006. As a result of the increase to the
facility, the Applicable Margin, as defined in the Credit Facility, increased to LIBOR plus 200
basis points. We used the proceeds of the Term Loan Facility increase to finance the purchase of
shares of our Class A common stock under the June 2006 $1
billion share repurchase authorization (See Note 8) and for the payment of transaction costs, fees and expenses
related to the increase in the Term Loan Facility.
Following the Tender Offer, our credit ratings were downgraded by Moodys and Standard and Poors,
both to below investment grade. Standard & Poors further downgraded us to BB upon our
announcement in June 2006 of the approval by our Board of Directors of a new $1 billion share
repurchase plan. Fitch initiated its coverage of us in August 2006 at a rating of BB, except for
our Senior Notes (defined below) which were rated BB-. Standard & Poors downgraded our credit
rating further, to B+, following our announcement on September 28, 2006 that we would not be able
to file our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the period ending June 30, 2006 by the September 28,
2006 extended deadline.
On September 26, 2006, we received an amendment, consent and waiver from the lenders under our
Credit Facility with respect to, among other provisions, waiver of any default or event of default
arising under the Credit Facility as a result of our failure to comply
16
AFFILIATED COMPUTER SERVICES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
with certain reporting
covenants relating to other indebtedness, including covenants purportedly requiring the filing of
reports with either the SEC or the holders of such indebtedness, so long as those requirements are
complied with by December 31, 2006. As consideration for this amendment, consent and waiver, we
paid a fee of $2.6 million.
On December 21, 2006, we received an amendment, consent and waiver from lenders under our Credit
Facility. The amendment, consent and waiver includes the following provisions, among others:
|
(1) |
|
Consent to the delivery, on or prior to February 14, 2007,
of (i) the financial statements, accountants report and
compliance certificate for the fiscal year ended June 30,
2006 and (ii) financial statements and related compliance
certificates for the fiscal quarters ended June 30, 2006
and September 30, 2006, and waiver of any default arising
from the failure to deliver any such financial statements,
reports or certificates within the applicable time period
provided for in the Credit Agreement, provided that any
such failure to deliver resulted directly or indirectly
from the previously announced investigation of the
Companys historical stock option grant practices (the
Options Matter). |
|
|
(2) |
|
Waiver of any default or event of default arising from the
incorrectness of representations and warranties made or
deemed to have been made with respect to certain financial
statements previously delivered to the Agent as a result of
any restatement, adjustment or other modification of such
financial statements resulting directly or indirectly from
the Options Matter. |
|
|
(3) |
|
Waiver of any default or event of default which may arise
from the Companys or its subsidiaries failure to comply
with reporting covenants under other indebtedness that are
similar to those in the Credit Agreement (including any
covenant to file any report with the Securities and
Exchange Commission or to furnish such reports to the
holders of such indebtedness), provided such reporting
covenants are complied with on or prior to February 14,
2007. |
|
|
(4) |
|
Amendments to provisions relating to the permitted uses of
the proceeds of revolving loans under the Credit Agreement
that (i) increase to $500 million from $350 million the
aggregate principal amount of revolving loans that may be
outstanding, the proceeds of which may be used to satisfy
the obligations under the Companys 4.70% Senior Notes due
2010 or 5.20% Senior Notes due 2015 and (ii) until June 30,
2007, decrease to $200 million from $300 million the
minimum liquidity (i.e., the aggregate amount of the
Companys unrestricted cash in excess of $50 million and
availability under the Credit Agreements revolving
facility) required after giving effect to such use of
proceeds. |
As consideration for this amendment, waiver and consent, we paid a fee of $1.3 million.
Senior Notes
On September 22, 2006, we received a letter from CEDE & Co. (CEDE) sent on behalf of certain
holders of our 5.20% Senior Notes due 2015 (the 5.20% Senior Notes) issued by us under that
certain Indenture dated June 6, 2005 (the Indenture) between us and The Bank of New York Trust
Company, N.A. (the Trustee) advising us that we were in default of our covenants under the
Indenture. The letter alleged that our failure to timely file our Annual Report on Form 10-K for
the period ending June 30, 2006 by September 13, 2006, was a default under the terms of the
Indenture. On September 29, 2006, we received a letter from CEDE sent on behalf of the same persons
declaring an acceleration with respect to the 5.20% Senior Notes, as a result of our failure to
remedy the default set forth in the September 22 letter related to our failure to timely file our
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the period ended June 30, 2006. The September 29 letter declared
that the principal amount and premium, if any, and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the
5.20% Senior Notes were due and payable immediately, and demanded payment of all amounts owed in
respect of the 5.20% Senior Notes.
On September 29, 2006 we received a letter from the Trustee with respect to the 5.20% Senior Notes.
The letter alleged that we were in default of our covenants under the Indenture with respect to the
5.20% Senior Notes, as the result of our failure to timely file our Annual Report on Form 10-K for
the period ending June 30, 2006 on or before September 28, 2006. On October 6, 2006, we received a
letter from the Trustee declaring an acceleration with respect to the 5.20% Senior Notes as a
result of our failure to timely file our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the period ending June 30,
2006 on or before September 28, 2006. The October 6, 2006 letter declared the principal amount and
premium, if any, and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the 5.20% Senior Notes to be due and
payable immediately, and demanded payment of all amounts owed in respect of the 5.20% Senior Notes.
In addition, our 4.70% Senior Notes due 2010 (the 4.70% Senior Notes) were also issued under the
Indenture and have identical default and acceleration provisions as the 5.20% Senior Notes. On
October 9, 2006, we received letters from certain holders of the 4.70% Senior Notes issued
by us under the Indenture, advising us that we were in default of our covenants under the
Indenture. The letters alleged that our failure to timely file our Annual Report on Form 10-K for
the period ending June 30, 2006 by
17
AFFILIATED COMPUTER SERVICES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
September 13, 2006, was a default under the terms of the
Indenture. On November 9, 10 and 16, 2006, we received letters from CEDE sent on behalf of certain
holders of our 4.70% Senior Notes, declaring an acceleration of the 4.70% Senior Notes as the
result of our failure to timely file our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the period ending June 30,
2006. The November 9, 10 and 16, 2006 letters declared the
principal amount and premium, if any, and accrued and unpaid
interest, if any, on the 4.70% Senior Notes to be due and payable immediately, and
demanded payment of all amounts owed under the 4.70% Senior Notes.
It is our position that no default has occurred under the Indenture and that no acceleration has
occurred with respect to the 5.20% Senior Notes or the 4.70% Senior Notes (collectively, the
Senior Notes) or otherwise under the Indenture. Further we have filed a lawsuit against the
Trustee in the United States District Court, Northern District of Texas, Dallas Division, seeking a
declaratory judgment affirming our position. On January 8, 2007, the Court entered an order
substituting Wilmington Trust Company for the Bank of New York. On January 16, 2007, Wilmington
Trust Company filed an answer and counterclaim. The counterclaim seeks immediate payment of all
principal and accrued and unpaid interest on the Senior Notes. Alternatively, the counterclaim
seeks damages measured by the difference between the fair market value of the Senior Notes on or
about September 22, 2006 and par value of the Senior Notes.
Unless and until there is a final judgment rendered in the lawsuit described above (including any
appellate proceedings), no legally enforceable determination can be made as to whether the failure
to timely file our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the period ending June 30, 2006 is a default
under the Indenture as alleged by the letters referenced above. If there is a final legally
enforceable determination that the failure to timely file our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the
period ending June 30, 2006 is a default under the Indenture, and that acceleration with respect to
the Senior Notes was proper, the principal and premium, if any, and all accrued and unpaid
interest, if any, on the Senior Notes would be immediately due and payable.
In the event the claim of default against us made by certain holders of the Senior Notes is upheld
in a court of law and we are required to payoff the Senior Notes, it
is most likely that we would utilize the Credit Facility to fund such payoff. Under the terms of the Credit
Facility, we can utilize borrowings under the Revolving Credit
Facility, subject to certain liquidity requirements, or may seek additional commitments for funding under the
Term Loan Facility of the Credit Facility. We estimate we
have sufficient liquidity to meet both the needs of our operations and any potential payoff of the
Senior Notes. While we do have availability under our Credit Facility
to draw funds to repay the
Senior Notes, there may be a decrease in our credit availability that could otherwise be used for
other corporate purposes, such as acquisitions and share repurchases.
If our Senior Notes are refinanced or the determination is made that the outstanding balance is due
to the noteholders, the remaining unrealized loss on forward interest rate agreements reported in
other comprehensive income of $15.7 million ($9.8 million, net of income tax), unamortized deferred
financing costs of $3 million ($1.9 million, net of income tax) and unamortized discount of $0.6
million ($0.4 million, net of income tax) associated with our Senior Notes as of September 30, 2006
may be adjusted and reported as interest expense in our Consolidated Statement of Income in the
period of refinancing or demand.
On December 19, 2006, we entered into an Instrument of Resignation, Appointment and Acceptance with
The Bank of New York Trust Company, N.A. and Wilmington Trust Company, whereby The Bank of New York
Trust Company, N.A. resigned as trustee, as well as other offices or agencies, with respect to the
Senior Notes, and was replaced by Wilmington Trust Company.
8. EQUITY
On August 15, 2006, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors granted 2,091,500 options
to employees under the 1997 Stock Incentive Plan. Based on executive managements recommendation,
no stock option grants were made to corporate executive management pending substantive
determination regarding corporate executive managements actions in the matters related to the
informal stock option investigation by the Securities and Exchange Commission and the grand jury
subpoena issued by the United States District Court, Southern District of New York. However, the
Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors agreed to grant options of 100,000 shares each to
Ann Vezina, Chief Operating Officer, Commercial Solutions Group and Tom Burlin, Chief Operating
Officer, Government Solutions Group, but those grants were deferred. The delay in the grants to
Ms. Vezina and Mr. Burlin was necessary at the time because there were insufficient shares
remaining in the 1997 Stock Incentive Plan to make the grants to Ms. Vezina and Mr. Burlin.
Subsequent to August 15, 2006, there were a number of options granted under the 1997 Stock
Incentive Plan that terminated, which options then became available to grant to other employees,
including Ms. Vezina and Mr. Burlin. Please see further
discussion in Note 16.
In June and August 2006, our Board of Directors authorized two share repurchase programs of up to
$1 billion each of our Class A common stock. The programs,
which are open ended, allow us to
repurchase our shares on the open market, from time to time, in accordance with the requirements of
the SEC rules and regulations, including shares that could be purchased pursuant to SEC Rule
10b5-1. The number of shares to be purchased and the timing of purchases will be based on the
level of cash and debt balances,

(UNAUDITED)
general business conditions, and other factors, including
alternative investment opportunities. As of September 30, 2006, we had repurchased approximately
19.9 million shares under the June 2006 authority at an average cost of approximately $50.30 per
share (approximately $1 billion) all of which have been retired,
of which 14.4 million shares with an average cost of
approximately $50.64 per share (approximately $730.7 million)
were repurchased and retired in the first quarter of fiscal year 2007. No repurchases have been made
under the August 2006 authority as of the date of this filing. We expect to fund repurchases under
this additional share repurchase program from borrowings under our Credit Facility.
In the first quarter of fiscal year 2007, we reissued approximately 57,000 treasury shares for
proceeds totaling approximately $2.9 million to fund contributions to our employee stock purchase
plan.

Additional dilution from assumed exercises of stock options is dependent upon several factors,
including the market price of our common stock. During the three months ended September 30, 2006
and 2005, options to purchase approximately 6,282,000 and 6,826,000 shares of common stock,
respectively, were outstanding but were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per
share because the average market price of the underlying stock did not exceed the sum of the option
exercise price, unrecognized compensation expense and the windfall tax benefit.
The calculation of diluted earnings per share requires us to make certain assumptions related to
the use of proceeds that would be received upon the assumed exercise of stock options. These
assumed proceeds include the excess tax benefit that we receive upon assumed exercises. We
calculate the assumed proceeds from excess tax benefits based on the deferred tax assets actually
recorded without consideration of as if deferred tax assets calculated under the provisions of
SFAS 123(R).
10. COMPREHENSIVE INCOME
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 130, Reporting Comprehensive Income (SFAS 130),
establishes standards for reporting and display of comprehensive income and its components in
financial statements. The objective of SFAS 130 is to report a measure of all changes in equity of
an enterprise that result from transactions and other economic events of the period other than
transactions with owners. Comprehensive income is the total of net income and all other non-owner
changes within a companys equity.

The amortization of unrealized loss on forward interest rate agreements relates to interest rate
hedges, which were settled in June 2005. The agreements were designated as cash flow hedges of
forecasted interest payments in anticipation of the issuance of our Senior Notes. The settlement
of the forward interest rate agreements of $19 million ($12 million, net of income tax) is
reflected in accumulated other comprehensive loss, net, and will be amortized as an increase in
reported interest expense over the term of the Senior Notes, with approximately $2.5 million to be
amortized over the next 12 months. During both the first quarters of fiscal years 2007 and 2006,
we amortized approximately $0.6 million to interest expense.
We hedge the variability of a portion of our anticipated future Mexican peso cash flows through
foreign exchange forward agreements. The agreements are designated as cash flow hedges of
forecasted payments related to certain operating costs of our Mexican operations. As of September
30, 2006, the notional amount of these agreements totaled 419.5 million pesos ($37.7 million) and
expire at various dates over the next 12 months. Upon termination of these agreements, we will
purchase Mexican pesos at the exchange rates specified in the forward agreements to be used for
payments on our forecasted Mexican peso operating costs. The unrealized gain (loss) on these
foreign exchange forward agreements is reflected in accumulated other comprehensive loss, net.

13. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Regulatory Agency Investigations Relating to Stock Option Grant Practices
On March 3, 2006 we received notice from the Securities and Exchange Commission that it is
conducting an informal investigation into certain stock option grants made by us from October 1998
through March 2005. On June 7, 2006 and on June 16, 2006 we received requests from the SEC for
information on all of our stock option grants since 1994. We have responded to the SECs requests
for information and are cooperating in the informal investigation.
On May 17, 2006, we received a grand jury subpoena from the United States District Court, Southern
District of New York requesting production of documents related to granting of our stock option
grants. We have responded to the grand jury subpoena and have provided documents to the United
States Attorneys Office in connection with the grand jury proceeding. We have informed the
Securities and Exchange Commission and the United States Attorneys Office for the Southern
District of New York of the results of our internal investigation into our stock option grant
practices and will continue to cooperate with these governmental entities and their investigations.
Please see Note 2. Review of Stock Option Grant Practices and Note 14. Departure of Executive
Officers in these Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for discussions of our internal
investigation of our stock option grant practices and subsequent restatement of previously filed
financial statements and the departure of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer
as a result of that investigation.
Lawsuits Related to Stock Option Grant Practices
Several derivative lawsuits have been filed in connection with our stock option grant practices

The cases described above are being vigorously defended. However, it is not possible at this time
to reasonably estimate the possible loss or range of loss, if any.

Investigation Regarding Photo Enforcement Contract in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada
We and one of our Canadian subsidiaries, ACS Public Sector Solutions, Inc., received a summons
issued February 15, 2006 by the Alberta Department of Justice requiring us and our subsidiary to
answer a charge of a violation of a Canadian Federal law which prohibits giving, offering or
agreeing to give or offer any reward, advantage or benefit as consideration for receiving any favor
in
23
\
AFFILIATED COMPUTER SERVICES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
connection with a business relationship. The charge covers the period from January 1, 1998
through June 4, 2004 and references the involvement of certain Edmonton, Alberta police officials.
Two Edmonton police officials have been separately charged for violation of this law. The alleged
violation relates to the subsidiarys contract with the City of Edmonton for photo enforcement
services. We
acquired this subsidiary and contract from Lockheed Martin Corporation in August 2001 when we
acquired Lockheed Martin IMS Corporation. The contract currently is on a month-to-month term with
revenues of approximately $0.6 million (U.S. dollars) in the first quarter of both fiscal years
2007 and 2006. A renewal contract had been awarded to our subsidiary in 2004 on a sole source
basis, but this renewal award was rescinded by the City of Edmonton and a subsequent request for
proposals for an expanded photo enforcement contract was issued in September 2004. Prior to
announcement of any award, however, the City of Edmonton suspended this procurement process pending
the completion of the investigation by the Royal Canadian Mounted Police which led to the February
15, 2006 summons. We conducted an internal investigation of this matter, and based on our findings
from our internal investigation, we believe that our subsidiary has sustainable defenses to the
charge. We notified the U.S. Department of Justice and the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission
upon our receipt of the summons and continue to periodically report the status of this matter to
them.
On October 31, 2006, legal counsel to the Alberta government withdrew the charge against ACS. The
charge against our subsidiary has not been withdrawn and a preliminary hearing on this matter has
been scheduled for September 7, 2007. We are unable to express
an opinion as to the likely outcome of this matter at this time. It is not possible at this time to reasonably estimate the
possible loss or range of loss, if any.
Investigation Concerning Procurement Process at Hanscom Air Force Base
One of our subsidiaries, ACS Defense, LLC, and several other government contractors received a
grand jury document subpoena issued by the U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts in
October 2002. The subpoena was issued in connection with an inquiry being conducted by the
Antitrust Division of the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ). The inquiry concerns certain IDIQ
(Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity) procurements and their related task orders, which
occurred in the late 1990s at Hanscom Air Force Base in Massachusetts. In February 2004, we sold
the contracts associated with the Hanscom Air Force Base relationship to ManTech International
Corporation (ManTech); however, we have agreed to indemnify ManTech with respect to this DOJ
investigation. The DOJ is continuing its investigation, but we have no information as to when the
DOJ will conclude this process. We have cooperated with the DOJ in producing documents in response
to the subpoena, and our internal investigation and review of this matter through outside legal
counsel will continue through the conclusion of the DOJ investigatory process. We are unable to
express an opinion as to the likely outcome of this matter at this time. It is not possible at
this time to reasonably estimate the possible loss or range of loss, if any.
Investigation Regarding Certain Child Support Payment Processing Contracts
Another of our subsidiaries, ACS State & Local Solutions, Inc. (ACS SLS), and a teaming partner
of this subsidiary, Tier Technologies, Inc. (Tier), received a grand jury document subpoena
issued by the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York in May 2003. The subpoena
was issued in connection with an inquiry being conducted by the Antitrust Division of the DOJ. We
believe that the inquiry concerns the teaming arrangements between ACS SLS and Tier on child
support payment processing contracts awarded to ACS SLS, and Tier as a subcontractor to ACS SLS, in
New York, Illinois and Ohio but may also extend to the conduct of ACS SLS and Tier with respect to
the bidding process for child support contracts in certain other states. Effective June 30, 2004,
Tier was no longer a subcontractor to us in Ohio. Our revenue from the contracts for which Tier
was a subcontractor was approximately $10.9 million and $11.3 million for the first quarter of
fiscal years 2007 and 2006, respectively, representing approximately 0.8% and 0.9% of our revenues
for the first quarter of fiscal years 2007 and 2006, respectively. Our teaming arrangement with
Tier also contemplated the California child support payment processing request for proposals, which
was issued in late 2003; however, we did not enter into a teaming agreement with Tier for the
California request for proposals. Based on Tiers filings with the Securities and Exchange
Commission, we understand that on November 20, 2003 the DOJ granted conditional amnesty to Tier in
connection with this inquiry pursuant to the DOJs Corporate Leniency Policy. The policy provides
that the DOJ will not bring any criminal charges against Tier as long as it continues to fully
cooperate in the inquiry (and makes restitution payments if it is determined that parties were
injured as a result of impermissible anticompetitive conduct). In May 2006 we were advised that
one of our current employees (who has not been active in our government business segment since June
2005) and one former employee of ACS SLS, both of whom held senior management positions in the
subsidiary during the period in question, have received target letters from the DOJ related to this
inquiry. The DOJ is continuing its investigation, but we have no information as to when the DOJ
will conclude this process. We have cooperated with the DOJ in producing documents in response to
the subpoena, and our internal investigation and review of this matter through outside legal
counsel will continue through the conclusion of the DOJ investigatory process. We are unable to
express an opinion as to the likely outcome of this matter at this time. It is not possible at
this time to reasonably estimate the possible loss or range of loss, if any.

Investigation regarding Florida Workforce Contracts
On January 30, 2004, the Florida Agency for Workforce Innovations (AWI) Office of Inspector
General (OIG) issued a report that reviewed 13 Florida workforce regions, including Dade and
Monroe counties, and noted concerns related to the accuracy of customer case records maintained by
our local staff. Our total revenue generated from the Florida workforce services amounts to
approximately 0.8% of our revenues for the first quarter of fiscal year 2006. We had no revenue
related to this contract in the first quarter of fiscal year 2007. In March 2004, we filed our
response to the OIG report. The principal workforce policy organization for the State of Florida,
which oversees and monitors the administration of the States workforce policy and the programs
carried out by AWI and the regional workforce boards, is Workforce Florida, Inc. (WFI). On May
20, 2004, the Board of Directors of WFI held a public meeting at which the Board announced that WFI
did not see a systemic problem with our performance of these workforce services and that it
considered the issue closed. There were also certain contract billing issues that arose during the
course of our performance of our workforce contract in Dade County, Florida, which ended in June
2003. However, during the first quarter of fiscal year 2005, we settled all financial issues with
Dade County with respect to our workforce contract with that county and the settlement is fully
reflected in our results of operations for the first quarter of fiscal year 2005. We were also
advised in February 2004 that the SEC had initiated an informal investigation into the matters
covered by the OIGs report, although we have not received any request for information or documents
since the middle of calendar year 2004. On March 22, 2004, ACS SLS received a grand jury document
subpoena issued by the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida. The subpoena was
issued in connection with an inquiry being conducted by the DOJ and the Inspector Generals Office
of the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) into the subsidiarys workforce contracts in Dade and
Monroe counties in Florida, which also expired in June 2003, and which were included in the OIGs
report. On August 11, 2005, the South Florida Workforce Board notified us that all deficiencies in
our Dade County workforce contract have been appropriately addressed and all findings are
considered resolved. On August 25, 2004, ACS SLS received a grand jury document subpoena issued by
the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Florida in connection with an inquiry being
conducted by the DOJ and the Inspector Generals Office of the DOL. The subpoena relates to a
workforce contract in Pinellas County in Florida for the period from January 1999 to the contracts
expiration in March 2001, which was prior to our acquisition of this business from Lockheed Martin
Corporation in August 2001. Further, we settled a civil lawsuit with Pinellas County in December
2003 with respect to claims related to the services rendered to Pinellas County by Lockheed Martin
Corporation prior to our acquisition of ACS SLS (those claims having been transferred with ACS SLS
as part of the acquisition), and the settlement resulted in Pinellas County paying ACS SLS an
additional $600,000. We are continuing our internal investigation of these matters through outside
legal counsel and we are continuing to cooperate with the DOJ and DOL in connection with their
investigations. At this stage of these investigations, we are unable to express an opinion as to
their likely outcome. It is not possible at this time to reasonably
estimate the possible loss or range of loss, if any. During the
second quarter of fiscal year 2006, we completed the divestiture of substantially all of our
welfare-to-workforce business (See Note 4 Divestitures for further information). However, we
retained the liabilities for this business which arose from activities prior to the date of
closing, including the contingent liabilities discussed above.
Certain contracts, primarily in our Government
segment, require us to provide a surety bond or a
letter of credit as a guarantee of performance. As of September 30, 2006, outstanding surety bonds
of $497.6 million and $93.3 million of our outstanding letters of credit secure our performance of
contractual obligations with our clients. Approximately $22.4 million of letters of credit and
$1.9 million of surety bonds secure our casualty insurance and vendor programs and other corporate
obligations. In general, we would only be liable for the amount of these guarantees in the event of
default in our performance of our obligations under each contract, the probability of which we
believe is remote. We believe that we have sufficient capacity in the surety markets and liquidity
from our cash flow and our Credit Facility to respond to future requests for proposals.
In fiscal year 2006, we purchased approximately $17.3 million of U.S. Treasury Notes in conjunction
with a contract in our Government segment, and pledged them in accordance with the terms of the
contract to secure our performance. The U.S. Treasury Notes are accounted for as held to maturity
pursuant to Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 115, Accounting for Certain
Investments in Debt and Equity Securities and reflected in other assets in our Consolidated
Balance Sheets.
We are obligated to make contingent payments to former shareholders of acquired entities upon
satisfaction of certain contractual criteria in conjunction with certain acquisitions. During the
first quarter of fiscal year 2007, we made contingent consideration payments of $1.5 million
related to acquisitions completed in prior years. As of September 30, 2006, the maximum aggregate
amount of the outstanding contingent obligations to former shareholders of acquired entities is
approximately $70.3 million. Upon satisfaction of the specified contractual criteria, such payments
primarily result in a corresponding increase in goodwill.
We have indemnified Lockheed Martin Corporation against certain specified claims from certain
pre-sale litigation, investigations, government audits and other issues related to the sale of the
majority of our Federal business to Lockheed Martin Corporation in fiscal year 2004. Our
contractual maximum exposure under these indemnifications is $85 million; however, we believe the
actual exposure
25
AFFILIATED COMPUTER SERVICES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
to be significantly less. As of September 30, 2006, other accrued liabilities
include a reserve for these claims in an amount we believe to be adequate at this time.
Our Education Services business, which is included
in our Commercial segment, performs third party
student loan servicing in the Federal Family Education Loan program (FFEL) on behalf of various
financial institutions. We service these loans for investors under outsourcing arrangements and do
not acquire any servicing rights that are transferable by us to a third party. At September 30,
2006, we serviced a FFEL portfolio of approximately 2.1 million loans with an outstanding principal
balance of approximately $29.8 billion. Some servicing agreements contain provisions that, under
certain circumstances, require us to purchase the loans from the investor if the loan guaranty has
been permanently terminated as a result of a loan default caused by our servicing error. If
defaults caused by us are cured during an initial period, any obligation we may have to purchase
these loans expires. Loans that we purchase may be subsequently cured, the guaranty reinstated and
then we repackage the loans for sale to third parties. We evaluate our exposure under our purchase
obligations on defaulted loans and establish a reserve for potential losses, or default liability
reserve, through a charge to the provision for loss on defaulted loans purchased. The reserve is
evaluated periodically and adjusted based upon managements analysis of the historical performance
of the defaulted loans. As of September 30, 2006, other accrued liabilities include reserves which
we believe to be adequate.
In April 2004, we were awarded a contract by
the North Carolina Department of Health and Human
Services (DHHS) to replace and operate the North Carolina Medicaid Management Information System
(NCMMIS). There was a protest of the contract award;
however, DHHS requested that we commence
performance under the contract. One of the parties protesting the contract has continued to seek
administrative and legal relief to set aside the contract award. However, we continued our
performance of the contract at the request of DHHS. On June 12, 2006, we reported that contract
issues had arisen and each of ACS and DHHS alleged that the other party has breached the contract.
The parties entered into a series of standstill agreements in order to permit discussion of their
respective issues regarding the contract and whether the contract would be continued or terminated.
On July 14, 2006, the DHHS sent us a letter notifying us of the termination of the contract. We do
not believe the agency has a valid basis for terminating the contract and intend to pursue legal
action against DHHS. We filed in the General Court of Justice, Superior Court Division, in
Wake County, North Carolina, a complaint and motion to preserve records related to the contract.
Subsequent to the filing of the complaint, North Carolina produced records and represented to the
Court that all records had been produced, after which the complaint was dismissed. In a letter
dated August 1, 2006, DHHS notified us of its position that the value of reductions in compensation
assessable against the compensation otherwise due to us under the contract is approximately $33
million. On August 14, 2006, we provided a detailed response to that August 1, 2006 letter
contending that there should be no reductions in compensation owed to us. Also, on August 14, 2006
and in accordance with the contract, we submitted our Termination Claim to DHHS seeking additional
compensation of approximately $27.1 million. On January 22, 2007, we filed a complaint in the
General Court of Justice, Superior Court Division, in Wake County, North Carolina against DHHS and
the Secretary of DHHS seeking to recover damages in excess of $40 million that we have suffered as
the result of actions of DHHS and its Secretary. Our claim is based on breach of contract; breach
of implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing; breach of warranty; and misappropriation of our
trade secrets. In the complaint we are also requesting the court to grant a declaratory judgment
that we were not in default under the contract; and a permanent injunction against the State from
using our proprietary materials and disclosing our proprietary material to third parties.
In addition to the foregoing, we are subject to certain other legal proceedings, inquiries, claims
and disputes, which arise in the ordinary course of business. Although we cannot predict the
outcomes of these other proceedings, we do not believe these other actions, in the aggregate, will
have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or liquidity.
14. DEPARTURE OF EXECUTIVE OFFICERS
On November 26, 2006, Mark A. King resigned as our President, Chief Executive Officer and as a
director. In connection therewith, on November 26, 2006 we and Mr. King entered into a separation
agreement (the King Agreement). The King Agreement provides, among other things, that Mr. King
will remain with us as an employee providing transitional services until June 30, 2007. In
addition, under the terms of the King Agreement, all unvested stock options held by Mr. King have
been terminated as of November 26, 2006, excluding options that would have otherwise vested prior
to August 31, 2007 which will be permitted to vest on their regularly scheduled vesting dates
provided that Mr. King does not materially breach certain specified provisions of the King
Agreement. The King Agreement also provides that the exercise price of Mr. Kings vested stock
options will be increased to an amount determined by us in a manner consistent with the final
determination of the review performed by us in conjunction with the audit of our financial
statements for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2006 and the exercise price of certain vested
options will be further increased by the amount by which the aggregate exercise price of stock
options previously exercised by Mr. King would have been increased had the stock options not been
previously exercised. Mr. Kings vested options, if unexercised, will expire no later than June
30, 2008. The King Agreement also subjects Mr. King to non-competition and non-solicitation
covenants until December 31, 2009. In addition, the
26
AFFILIATED COMPUTER SERVICES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
King Agreement provides that Mr. Kings
severance agreement with us is terminated, Mr. Kings salary will be reduced during the transition
period and Mr. King will not be eligible to participate in our
bonus plans. Mr. King will
be eligible to receive certain of our provided health benefits through December 31, 2009 the
estimated cost of which is not material.
On November 26, 2006, Warren D. Edwards resigned as our Executive Vice President and Chief
Financial Officer. In connection therewith, on November 26, 2006 we and Mr. Edwards entered into a
separation agreement (the Edwards Agreement). The Edwards
Agreement provides, among other things, that Mr. Edwards will remain with us as an employee
providing transitional services until June 30, 2007. In addition, under the terms of the Edwards
Agreement, all unvested stock options held by Mr. Edwards have been terminated as of November 26,
2006, excluding options that would have otherwise vested prior to August 31, 2007 which will be
permitted to vest on their regularly scheduled vesting dates provided that Mr. Edwards does not
materially breach certain specified provisions of the Edwards Agreement. The Edwards Agreement
also provides that the exercise price of Mr. Edwards vested stock options will be increased to an
amount determined by us in a manner consistent with the final determination of the review performed
by us in conjunction with the audit of our financial statements for the fiscal year ending June 30,
2006. Mr. Edwards vested options, if unexercised, will expire no later than June 30, 2008. The
Edwards Agreement also subjects Mr. Edwards to non-competition and non-solicitation covenants until
December 31, 2009. In addition, the Edwards Agreement provides that Mr. Edwards severance
agreement with us is terminated, Mr. Edwards salary will be reduced during the transition period
and Mr. Edwards will not be eligible to participate in our bonus plans. Mr. Edwards will be
eligible to receive certain of our provided health benefits through December 31, 2009, the
estimated cost of which is not material.
On September 29, 2005, Jeffrey A. Rich submitted his resignation as a director and Chief Executive
Officer. On September 30, 2005 we entered into an Agreement with Mr. Rich, which, among other
things, provided the following: (i) Mr. Rich remained on our payroll and was paid his current base
salary (of $820 thousand annually) through June 30, 2006; (ii) Mr. Rich was not eligible to
participate in our performance-based incentive compensation program in fiscal year 2006; (iii) we
purchased from Mr. Rich all options previously granted to Mr. Rich that were vested as of the date
of the Agreement in exchange for an aggregate cash payment, less applicable income and payroll
taxes, equal to the amount determined by subtracting the exercise price of each such vested option
from $54.08 per share and all such vested options were terminated and cancelled; (iv) all options
previously granted to Mr. Rich that were unvested as of the date of the Agreement were terminated
(such options had an in-the-money value of approximately $4.6 million based on the closing price of
our stock on the New York Stock Exchange on September 29, 2005); (v) Mr. Rich received a lump sum
cash payment of $4.1 million (vi) Mr. Rich continued to receive executive benefits for health,
dental and vision through September 30, 2007; (vii) Mr. Rich also received limited administrative
assistance through September 30, 2006; and (viii) in the event Mr. Rich established an M&A advisory
firm by January 1, 2007, we agreed to retain such firm for a two year period from its formation for
$250 thousand per year plus a negotiated success fee for completed transactions. The Agreement
also contains certain standard restrictions, including restrictions on soliciting our employees for
a period of three years and soliciting our customers or competing with us for a period of two
years. Mr. Rich has established an M&A advisory firm and in June 2006, we entered into an agreement
with Rich Capital LLC, an M&A advisory firm owned by Mr. Rich. The agreement is for two years,
during which time we will pay a total of $0.5 million for M&A advisory services, payable in equal
quarterly installments. We paid $63 thousand related to this agreement through June 30, 2006.
However, we have currently suspended payment under this agreement pending a determination whether
Rich Capital LLC is capable of performing its obligations under the contract in view of the
internal investigations conclusions regarding stock options awarded to Mr. Rich.
15. NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 158, Employers Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other
Postretirement Plans (SFAS 158), SFAS 158 amends SFAS 87, Employers Accounting for Pensions,
SFAS 88, Employers Accounting for Settlements and Curtailments of Defined Benefit Pension Plans
and for Termination Benefits, SFAS 106, Employers Accounting for Postretirement Benefits Other
Than Pensions, and SFAS 132 (revised 2003), Employers Disclosures about Pensions and Other
Postretirement Benefits. SFAS 158 requires employers to recognize in its statement of financial
position an asset for a plans overfunded status or a liability for a plans underfunded status.
It also requires employers to measure plan assets and obligations that determine its funded status
as of the end of the fiscal year. Lastly, employers are required to recognize changes in the
funded status of a defined benefit postretirement plan in the year that the changes occur with the
changes reported in comprehensive income. SFAS 158 is required to be adopted by entities with
fiscal years ending after December 15, 2006. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have
a material impact on our financial condition, results of operation or liquidity.
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157 Fair Value Measurements (SFAS 157). SFAS 157
defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with U.S. GAAP,
and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. The statement clarifies that the exchange
price is the price in an orderly transaction between market participants to sell
27
AFFILIATED COMPUTER SERVICES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
an asset or transfer a liability at the measurement date. The statement emphasizes that fair value
is a market-based measurement and not an entity-specific measurement. It also establishes a fair
value hierarchy used in fair value measurements and expands the required disclosures of assets and
liabilities measured at fair value. SFAS 157 is effective for financial statements issued for
fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The adoption of this standard is not expected to
have a material impact on our financial condition, results of operation or liquidity.
In September 2006, the SEC released SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108, Considering the Effects
of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements,
(SAB 108), which addresses how uncorrected errors in previous years should be considered when
quantifying errors in current-year financial statements. SAB 108 requires registrants to consider
the effect of all carry over and reversing effects of prior-year misstatements when quantifying
errors in current-year financial statements. SAB 108 does not change the SEC staffs previous
guidance on evaluating the materiality of errors. It allows registrants to record the effects of
adopting SAB 108 guidance as a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings. This adjustment
must be reported in the annual financial statements of the first fiscal year ending after November
15, 2006. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material impact on our financial
condition, results of operation or liquidity.
In July 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 48 (FIN 48), Accounting for Uncertainty in
Income Taxesan interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109, which prescribes comprehensive guidelines
for recognizing, measuring, presenting and disclosing in the financial statements tax positions
taken or expected to be taken on tax returns. FIN 48, effective for fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 2006, seeks to reduce the diversity in practice associated with certain aspects of the
recognition and measurement related to accounting for income taxes. We are currently assessing the
impact of FIN 48 on our consolidated financial position and results of operations.
16. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
Please see Note 2. Review of Stock Option Grant Practices and Note 14. Departure of Executive
Officers in these Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for discussions of our internal
investigation of our stock option grant practices and subsequent restatement of previously filed
financial statements and the departure of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer
as a result of that investigation.
Please see Note 7. Long-Term Debt for a discussion of the Alleged Default and Purported
Acceleration of our Senior Notes and waiver, amendments and consents
received for our Credit
Facility.
In October 2006, we completed the acquisition of Systech Integrators, Inc. (Systech), an
information technology solutions company offering an array of SAP software services. Systechs
services include SAP consulting services, systems integration and custom application development
and maintenance. The transaction was valued at approximately $65 million plus contingent payments
of up to $40 million based on future financial performance. The transaction was funded with a
combination of cash on hand and borrowings under our Credit Facility. We believe this acquisition
will enhance our position as a comprehensive provider of SAP services across numerous markets.
Because of the investigation into our stock option grant practices, we were unable to timely file
our Annual Report on Form 10-K and our Annual Meeting of Stockholders was delayed, and the
regularly scheduled meeting of our Board of Directors that was to have occurred in November 2006
was focused solely on stock option investigation matters and any other matters for consideration
were deferred. Under our stock option granting policy, the day prior to or the day of that
regularly scheduled November Board meeting, the Compensation Committee could have granted options
to new hires, employees receiving a grant in connection with a promotion, or persons who become ACS
employees as a result of an acquisition. On the morning of December 9, 2006, the Compensation
Committee met to discuss whether options, which were now available under the 1997 Stock Incentive
Plan, should be granted to new hires, employees receiving a grant in connection with a promotion,
or persons who became ACS employees as a result of an acquisition. After consideration of the fact
that options would have been granted in November, if the regularly scheduled Board meeting had not
deferred consideration of matters other than the stock option investigation, the Compensation
Committee met on December 9, 2006 and, as a result of their
actions at that meeting, a grant of 692,000 shares was made to new hires, employees receiving a grant in connection with a promotion, or persons
who become ACS employees as a result of an acquisition, with such grants including 140,000 shares
to Lynn Blodgett, who had been promoted to President and Chief Executive Officer; 75,000 shares to
John Rexford
who had been promoted to Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer and named a director;
and 100,000 shares each to Ms. Vezina and Mr. Burlin, which
grants were in recognition of their recent promotions to Chief
Operating Officers of the Commercial and Government segments,
respectively, and had been approved by the compensation committee on
August 15, 2006 but were deferred until shares were available for
grant.

Prior to 2002 we had guaranteed $11.5 million of certain loan obligations owed to Citicorp USA,
Inc. by DDH Aviation, Inc., a corporate airplane brokerage company organized in 1997 (as may have
been reorganized subsequent to July 2002, herein referred to as DDH). Our Chairman owned a
majority interest in DDH. In consideration for that guaranty, we had access to corporate aircraft
at favorable rates. In July 2002, our Chairman assumed in full our guaranty obligations to
Citicorp and Citicorp released in full our guaranty obligations. As partial consideration for the
release of our corporate guaranty, we agreed to provide certain administrative services to DDH at
no charge until such time as DDH meets certain specified financial criteria. In the first quarter
of fiscal year 2003, we purchased $1 million in prepaid charter flights at favorable rates from
DDH. As of June 30, 2006, we had $0.6 million remaining in prepaid flights with DDH. In the second
quarter of fiscal year 2007, we were notified by DDH Aviation, Inc., a corporate airplane brokerage
company in which our Chairman owns a majority interest, of their intent to wind down operations;
therefore, we recorded a charge of $0.6 million related to the unused prepaid charter flights. We
anticipate that these administrative services will cease prior to June 30, 2007 as a result of the
wind down of the DDH operations.
The CSB contract is our largest contract. We have provided loan servicing for the Department of
Educations Direct Student Loan program for over ten years. In 2003 the Department conducted a
competitive procurement for its Common Services for Borrowers initiative (CSB). CSB was a
modernization initiative which integrated a number of services for the Department, allowing the
Department to increase service quality while saving overall program costs. In November 2003 the
Department awarded us the CSB contract. Under this contract we provide comprehensive loan
servicing, consolidation loan processing, debt collection services on delinquent accounts, IT
infrastructure operations and support, maintenance and development of information systems, and
portfolio management services for the Department of Educations
Direct Student Loan program. We are also
developing software for use in delivering these services. The CSB contract has a 5-year base term
which began in January 2004 and provides the Department of Education five one-year options to
extend after the base term. We estimate that our revenues from the CSB contract will exceed $1
billion in total over the base term of the contract. Annual revenues from this contract represent
approximately 4% of our fiscal year 2006 revenues.
Through December 31, 2006 our capitalized expenditures for software development under the CSB
contract have totaled approximately $113 million, of which approximately $38 million has been
implemented with the current production system. Our model for development of software under the
CSB contract may change and we may only be able to use a portion of the uncompleted software with
the current production system. As a result, we may incur a material, non-cash, impairment of a
portion of our remaining capitalized software development costs, which aggregate approximately $75
million. However, we currently cannot determine the amount, if any, of this potential impairment
of our capitalized development costs.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
All statements in this Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations that are not based on historical fact are forward-looking statements within the
meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and the provisions of Section 27A
of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934,
as amended (which Sections were adopted as part of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of
1995). While management has based any forward-looking statements contained herein on its current
expectations, the information on which such expectations were based may change. These
forward-looking statements rely on a number of assumptions concerning future events and are subject
to a number of risks, uncertainties, and other factors, many of which are outside of our control,
that could cause actual results to materially differ from such statements. Such risks,
uncertainties, and other factors include, but are not necessarily limited to, those set forth in Item 1A. Risk Factors in our Annual Report on Form 10-K. In
addition, we operate in a highly competitive and rapidly changing environment, and new risks may
arise. Accordingly, investors should not place any reliance on forward-looking statements as a
prediction of actual results. We disclaim any intention to, and undertake no obligation to, update
or revise any forward-looking statement.
We report our financial results in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the
United States (GAAP). However, we believe that certain non-GAAP financial measures and ratios,
used in managing our business, may provide users of this financial information with additional
meaningful comparisons between current results and prior reported results. Certain of the

OVERVIEW
We derive our revenues from delivering comprehensive business process outsourcing and information
technology services solutions to commercial and government clients. A substantial portion of our
revenues is derived from recurring monthly charges to our clients under service contracts with
initial terms that vary from one to ten years. We define recurring revenues as revenues derived
from services that our clients use each year in connection with their ongoing businesses, and
accordingly, exclude software license fees, short-term contract programming and consulting
engagements, product installation fees, and hardware and software sales. However, as we add,
through acquisitions or new service offerings, consulting or other services to enhance the value
delivered and offered to our clients, which are primarily short-term in nature, we may experience
variations in our mix of recurring versus non-recurring revenues. Since inception, our acquisition
program has resulted in growth and diversification of our client base, expansion of services and
products offered, increased economies of scale and geographic expansion.
Management focuses on various metrics in analyzing our business and its performance and outlook.
One such metric is our sales pipeline, which was approximately $1.6 billion of annual recurring
revenues as of September 30, 2006. Our sales pipeline is a qualified pipeline of deals with
signings anticipated within the next six months and excludes deals with annual recurring revenue
over $100 million. Both the commercial and government pipelines have significant, quality
opportunities across multiple lines of business and in multiple verticals, including business
process outsourcing, commercial and government information technology services and healthcare. We
analyze the cash flow generation qualities of each deal in our pipeline and make decisions based on
its cash return characteristics. While the magnitude of our sales pipeline is an important
indicator of potential new business signings and potential future internal revenue growth, actual
new business signings and internal revenue growth depend on a number of factors including the
effectiveness of our sales pursuit teams, competition for a deal, deal pricing and other risks
described further in Item 1A. Risk Factors in our Annual Report on Form 10-K.
We use internal revenue growth as a measure of the organic growth of our business. Internal revenue
growth is measured as total revenue growth less acquired revenue from acquisitions and revenues
from divested operations. At the date of acquisition, we identify the trailing twelve months of
revenue of the acquired company as the pre-acquisition revenue of acquired companies.
Pre-acquisition revenue of the acquired companies is considered acquired revenues in our
calculation, and revenues from the acquired company, either above or below that amount are
components of internal growth in our calculation. We use the calculation of internal revenue
growth to measure revenue growth excluding the impact of acquired revenues and the revenue
associated with divested operations and we believe these adjustments to historical reported results
are necessary to accurately reflect our internal revenue growth. Revenues from divested operations
are excluded from the internal revenue growth calculation in the periods following the effective
date of the divestiture. Our measure of internal revenue growth may not be comparable to similarly
titled measures of other companies. Prior period internal revenue growth calculations are not
restated for current period divestitures.
30
Management analyzes new business signings on a trailing twelve month basis as it is generally a
better indicator of future growth than quarterly new business signings which can vary due to timing
of contract execution. We define new business signings as recurring revenue from new contracts,
including the incremental portion of renewals, signed during the period and represent the estimated
first twelve months of revenue to be recorded under that contract after full implementation. We use
new business signings as additional measures of estimating total revenue represented by contractual
commitments, both to forecast prospective revenues and to estimate capital commitments. Revenues
for new business signings are measured under GAAP. There are no third party standards or
requirements governing the calculation of new business signings and our measure may not be
comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies.
Renewal rates are a key indicator of client satisfaction. Our fiscal year 2006 renewal rates were
approximately 85%. We define total contract value as the estimated total revenues from contracts signed
during the period and represents estimated total revenue over the term of the contract. We use
total contract value as an additional measure of estimating total revenue represented by
contractual commitments, both to forecast prospective revenues and to estimate capital commitments.
Revenues for total contract value are measured under GAAP. Due to the timing of renewal rates on
a quarterly basis we believe it is appropriate to analyze our renewal rates on an annual basis.
We compete for new business in the competitive IT services and business process outsourcing
markets. The overall health of these markets and the competitive environment can be determined by
analyzing several key metrics. One of the metrics we monitor is the overall expected operating
margin of our new business signings which is a good indicator of our expected future operating
margin given the long-term nature of our customer contracts. We are seeing that the overall
expected operating margin of new business signings is consistent with our historical operating
margin. While the expected operating margin on new business signings may change in the future, we
believe the current expected operating margin trend supports a healthy competitive pricing
environment.
Another metric of new business signings that we monitor is capital intensity, defined as capital
expenditures and additions to intangible assets, of new business signings. Understanding the
capital intensity of new business signings is helpful in determining the future free cash flow
generating levels of our business. Historically the capital intensity in our business has ranged
between 5-7%. During fiscal year 2006, the overall capital intensity of our business was slightly
in excess of 8% due to approximately $60 million in investments that we made in certain areas of
our business. These investments included investments related to integrating the Acquired HR
Business (defined below) and expanding our human resources outsourcing technology platform;
investments made in our Government healthcare technology platforms; the expansion of our data
center capacity with the addition of a new data center and investments to increase global
production both in existing locations and new geographies. The expected capital intensity of new
business signings during fiscal year 2006 was consistent with our historical range. We believe the
expected capital intensity range of our new business signings reflects a healthy competitive
environment and the related risks we are taking with respects to our new IT services and business
process outsourcing business.
Retaining and training our employees is a key ingredient to our historical success and will
continue to be a major factor in our future success. We consistently review our retention rates on
a regional and global basis to ensure that we are competitive in hiring, retaining and motivating
our employees. We perform benchmarking studies against some markets in which we compete to ensure
our competitiveness in compensation and benefits and utilize employee surveys to gauge our
employees level of satisfaction. We provide our employees ongoing technological and leadership
training and will continue to do so to develop our employees and remain competitive. We utilize
incentive based compensation as a means to motivate certain of our employees in both segments of
our business and anticipate increasing our use of incentive based compensation in fiscal year 2007.
We believe our use of incentive based compensation is a competitive advantage for ACS.
REVIEW OF STOCK OPTION GRANT PRACTICES
On March 3, 2006 we received notice from the Securities and Exchange Commission that it is
conducting an informal investigation into certain stock option grants made by us from October 1998
through March 2005. On June 7, 2006 and on June 16, 2006 we received requests from the SEC for
information on all of our stock option grants since 1994. We have responded to the SECs requests
for information and are cooperating in the informal investigation.
On May 17, 2006, we received a grand jury subpoena from the United States District Court, Southern
District of New York requesting production of documents related to granting of our stock option
grants. We have responded to the grand jury subpoena and have provided documents to the United
States Attorneys Office in connection with the grand jury proceeding. We have informed the
Securities and Exchange Commission and the United States Attorneys Office for the Southern
District of New York of the results of our internal investigation into our stock option grant
practices and will continue to cooperate with these governmental entities and their investigations.
We initiated an internal investigation of our stock option grant practices in response to the
pending informal investigation by the Securities and Exchange Commission and a subpoena from a
grand jury in the Southern District of New York. The investigation
31
reviewed our historical stock option grant practices during the period from 1994 through 2005,
including all 73 stock option grants made by us during this period, and the related disclosure
in our Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2006, filed May 15, 2006 (the May 2006 Form
10-Q).
The investigation was overseen by a special committee of the Board of Directors which consisted of
all the independent members of the Board. The special committee retained Bracewell & Giuliani LLP
as independent counsel to conduct the internal investigation. In November 2006 the results of the
investigation were reported to the special committee, at which time the committee submitted
recommendations for action to the Board. These recommendations are now being implemented by the
Board substantially as submitted by the special committee.
During the course of the investigation, more than 2 million pages of electronic and hardcopy
documents and emails were reviewed. In addition, approximately 40 interviews of current and former
officers, directors, employees and other individuals were conducted. The independent directors, in
their role as special committee members and as independent directors prior to formation of the
committee, met extensively since the SEC informal investigation commenced to consider the matters
related to the stock option grant practices. The investigation was necessarily limited in that the
investigation team did not have access to certain witnesses with relevant information (including
former Chief Executive Officer, Jeffrey A. Rich) and due to the lack of metadata for certain
electronic documentation prior to 2000.
The following background pertaining to our historical stock option grant practices was confirmed
through the investigation. Option grants were typically initiated by our senior management or
Darwin Deason, Chairman of the Board (and chairman of the compensation committee from 1994 through
August 2003), on a prospective basis at times when they believed it was appropriate to consider
option grants and the price of our common stock was relatively low based on an analysis of, among
other things, price-earnings multiples. With respect to each grant of options to senior
executives, the Chairman gave a broad authorization to the CEO which included approval of option
recipients and the number of stock options to be awarded to each recipient. In the case of
non-senior management grants, the Chairman gave his general authorization for the awarding of
options and the CEO would subsequently obtain his approval of option recipients and the number of
stock options to be awarded. With respect to both senior executive and non-senior management
grants, after the Chairmans broad authorization, Jeffrey A.
Rich, Mark A. King and/or Warren D. Edwards then
selected the date to be recorded as the grant date as they, assisted by employees who reported to
them, prepared the paperwork that documented the grant recommendations to be considered by the
applicable compensation committee. Thus, between 1994 and 2005, grant dates and related exercise
prices were generally selected by Mr. Rich, Mr. King, and/or Mr. Edwards. Mr. Rich served as CFO
during the period prior to 1994 and until May 1995, President and Chief Operating Officer from May
1995 until February 1999, President and Chief Executive Officer from February 1999 until August
2002, and Chief Executive Officer from August 2002 until his resignation September 29, 2005. Mr.
King served as CFO from May 1995 through March 2001, COO from March 2001 through August 2002,
President and COO from August 2002 through September 2005, and President and CEO from September
2005 through November 26, 2006. Mr. Edwards served as CFO from March 2001 through November 26,
2006.
As described in our May 2006 Form 10-Q, our regular and special compensation committees used
unanimous written consents signed by all members of the committee ratifying their prior verbal
approvals of option grants to senior executives or options granted in connection with significant
acquisitions. In connection with option grants to senior executives, the historical practice was
for the Chairman, on or about the day he gave senior management his broad authorization to proceed
with preparing paperwork for option grants, to call each of the compensation committee members to
discuss and obtain approval for the grants. In cases where grants were awarded to senior
executives and in large blocks to non-senior management the Chairman and members of the
compensation committee discussed grants to senior executives specifically and, on certain
occasions, acknowledged generally that a block of grants would be awarded to non-senior management
as well. For grants to non-senior management which were not combined with senior executive grants,
the Chairman and the committee members generally did not discuss the grants at the time the
Chairman gave his broad authorization to senior management to proceed with preparing paperwork for
option grants, but unanimous written consents were subsequently signed by the committee members in
order to document the effective date of the grants.
The investigation concluded that in a significant number of cases Mr. Rich, Mr. King and/or Mr.
Edwards used hindsight to select favorable grant dates during the limited time periods after Mr.
Deason had given the officers his authorization to proceed to prepare the paperwork for the option
grants and before formal grant documentation was submitted to the applicable compensation
committee. No evidence was found to suggest that grant dates which preceded Mr. Deasons broad
authorization were ever selected. In a number of instances, our stock price was trending downward
at the time Mr. Deasons authorization was given, but started to rise as the grant recommendation
memoranda were being finalized. The investigation found that in those instances Mr. Rich, Mr. King
and/or Mr. Edwards often looked back in time and selected as the grant date a date on which the
price was at a low, notwithstanding that the date had already passed and the stock price on the
date of the actual selection was higher. Recommendation memoranda attendant to these grants were
intentionally misdated at the direction of Mr. Rich, Mr. King and/or Mr. Edwards to make it appear
as if the memoranda had been created at or about the time of the chosen grant date, when in fact,
they had been created afterwards. As a result, stock options were awarded at prices that were at,
or near, the quarterly low and we effectively granted in the money options without recording the
appropriate compensation expense.
32
The evidence gathered in the investigation disclosed that aside from Mr. Rich, Mr. King and Mr.
Edwards, one other of our current management employees, who is not an executive officer or
director, was aware of the intentional misdating of documents. Based on the evidence reviewed, no
other current executives, directors or management employees were aware of either the improper use
of hindsight in selecting grant dates or the intentional misdating of documents. It was also
determined that these improper practices were generally followed with respect to option grants made
to both senior executives and other employees. No evidence was found to suggest that the practices
were selectively employed to favor executive officers over other employees.
The Company has made only one individual stock option grant to Mr. Deason since the Company was
founded in 1988. The investigation, after extensive analysis of the available evidence, could not
conclude that the reported grant date for this stock option grant, July 23, 2002, was selected
using hindsight. Mr. Deason has never exercised any options under this single individual option
grant. (Two other option grants to Mr. Deason are being used by the Company as a means to partially
fund its retirement obligations to Mr. Deason).
Further, with respect to our May 2006 Form 10-Q, the investigation concluded that Note 3 to the
Consolidated Financial Statements which stated, in part, that we did not believe that any director
or officer of the Company has engaged in the intentional backdating of stock option grants in order
to achieve a more advantageous exercise price, was inaccurate because, at the time the May 2006
Form 10-Q was filed, Mr. King and Mr. Edwards either knew or should have known that we awarded
options through a process in which favorable grant dates were selected with the benefit of
hindsight in order to achieve a more advantageous exercise price and that the term backdating was
readily applicable to our option grant process. Neither Mr. King nor Mr. Edwards told our
directors, outside counsel or independent accountants that our stock options were often granted by
looking back and taking advantage of past low prices. Instead, both Mr. King and Mr. Edwards
attributed the disparity between recorded grant dates and the creation dates of the paperwork
attendant to the stock option grants to other factors that did not involve the use of hindsight.
The investigation concluded that the conduct of Mr. King and Mr. Edwards with regard to the
misdating of recommendation memoranda as well as their conduct with regard to the May 2006 Form
10-Q violated our Code of Ethics for Senior Financial Officers. As a result the special committee
recommended that Mr. King and Mr. Edwards should resign. Effective November 26, 2006 each of Mr.
King and Mr. Edwards resigned from all executive management positions with us. See Departure of
Executive Officers below for a discussion of the terms of their separation.
The Board of Directors appointed Lynn Blodgett, who had been serving as our Executive Vice
President and Chief Operating Officer and as a director since September 2005, as President and
Chief Executive Officer, and John Rexford, who had been serving as
Executive Vice President
Corporate Development since March 2001, as Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer and
as a director, in each case effective on November 26, 2006. Mr. Blodgett and Mr. Rexford each have
served in various executive capacities with us for over ten years.
In addition to the resignations of Mr. King and Mr. Edwards and the approval of the terms of their
separation, the Board of Directors announced the
following actions and decisions, some of which have already been implemented, as the result of the
findings of our stock option investigation:
|
|
|
The stock options held by our employees (other than Messrs. King and Edwards and one
management employee) will be adjusted as necessary, with the optionees consent, to avoid
adverse tax consequences to the employee, and we will compensate such employees for any
increase in exercise price resulting from the matters which were the subject of the
internal investigation. |
|
|
|
|
Our non-employee directors, to avoid the appearance of
inappropriate gain, voluntarily
agreed that with respect to any historical option grants to them which require
incremental compensation expense as a result of revised measurement dates, the
exercise price will be increased to equal the fair market value of the stock on the revised measurement date, regardless of whether such increase is necessary to avoid
adverse tax consequences to the director. The non-employee directors will not be
reimbursed to offset any individual loss of economic benefit related to such
repriced stock options. |
|
|
|
|
Another employee (not an officer as defined in Rule 16a-1(f) under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934) will be reassigned and all of such employees stock options will be
repriced so that the exercise price equals the fair market value of our stock on the proper
measurement date. |
|
|
|
|
We will consider whether to recover certain profits from Jeffrey A. Rich, former Chief
Executive Officer, which relate to stock options awarded to Mr. Rich which the internal
investigation concluded were awarded through a process in which favorable grant dates were
selected after the fact. |
33
|
|
|
We implemented, or are in the process of implementing, a number of changes to our
internal controls, including: |
|
o |
|
After reviewing the results of the investigation to date, our Board of
Directors determined that it would be appropriate to accept the resignations of Mr.
King and Mr. Edwards. Our Board of Directors has since appointed a new Chief
Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer. |
|
|
o |
|
Designating internal legal and accounting staffs to oversee the
documentation and accounting of all grants of stock options or restricted stock. |
|
|
o |
|
Monitoring industry and regulatory developments in stock option and
restricted stock awards and implementing and maintaining best practices with respect
to grants of stock options or restricted stock. |
|
|
o |
|
Adhering to the practice of making annual grants on a date certain and
through board or committee meetings, and not through a unanimous written consent
process. This change has already been implemented. |
We have concluded that there were accounting errors with respect to a number of stock option
grants. In general, these stock options were originally granted with an exercise price equal to the
NYSE or NASDAQ closing market price for our common stock on the date set forth on unanimous written
consents signed by one or more members of the appropriate Compensation Committees. We originally
used the stated date of these consents as the measurement date for the purpose of accounting for
them under Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP), and as a result recorded no
compensation expense in connection with the grants.
We have concluded that a number of unanimous written consents were not fully executed or effective
on the date set forth on the consents and that using the date stated thereon as the measurement
date was incorrect. We have determined a revised measurement date for each stock option grant based
on the information now available to us. The revised measurement date reflects the date for which
there is objective evidence that the required granting actions necessary to approve the grants, in
accordance with our corporate governance procedures, were completed. The accounting guidelines we
used in determining the correct accounting measurement date for our option grants require clear
evidence of final corporate granting action approving the option grants. Therefore, while the
internal investigation did not conclude that option grant dates with respect to certain grants had
been selected with hindsight, we nevertheless concluded in many cases that the accounting
measurement dates for these grants should be adjusted because the final corporate granting action
occurred after the original grant date reflected in our unanimous written consents. In cases where
the closing market price on the revised measurement date exceeded the NYSE or NASDAQ closing market
price on the original measurement date, we have recognized compensation expense equal to this
excess over the vesting term of each option, in accordance with
Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock
Issued to Employees, (APB25) for periods ending on or
before June 30, 2005. Additionally, beginning July 1, 2005, we have recognized compensation expense
in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.
123(revised 2004), Share-Based Payment (SFAS 123(R)) based on the fair value of stock options granted, using the revised
measurement dates.
Subsequent to the delivery of the results of the investigation, we, with the approval of our Audit
Committee, have determined that the cumulative non-cash stock-based compensation expense adjustment
was material and that our consolidated financial statements for each of the first three quarters
of fiscal year ended June 30, 2006, each of the quarters in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2005 and each of the
fiscal years ended June 30, 2005 and June 30, 2004, as well as the selected consolidated financial
data for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2003 and 2002 should be restated to record additional
stock-based compensation expense resulting from stock options granted during 1994 to 2005 that were incorrectly accounted for under GAAP, and related income tax effects.
Related income tax effects include deferred income tax benefits on the compensation expense, and
additional income tax liabilities and estimated penalties and interest related to the application
of Internal Revenue Code Section 162(m) and related Treasury
Regulations (Section 162(m)) to stock-based executive
compensation previously deducted, that is now no longer deductible as a result of revised
measurement dates of certain stock option grants. We have also included in our
restatements additional income tax liabilities and estimated penalties and interest, with adjustments to
additional paid-in capital and income tax expense, related to certain cash and stock-based executive compensation deductions previously taken under Section 162(m), which we believe may now be non-deductible
as a result of information that has been obtained by us in connection
with our internal investigation, due to factors unrelated to revised
measurement dates.
Our decision to restate our financial statements was based on
the facts obtained by management and the special committee.
34
We have determined that the cumulative, pre-tax, non-cash stock-based compensation expense
resulting from revised measurement dates was approximately $51.2 million during the period from our
initial public offering in 1994 through June 30, 2006. The corrections relate to options covering
approximately 19.4 million shares. We recorded additional stock-based compensation expense of $2.1
million for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2006 and $6.1 million and $7.5 million for the fiscal
years ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively, and $35.5 million for fiscal years ending prior
to fiscal 2004. Previously reported total revenues were not impacted by our restatement. The table
below reflects the cumulative effect on our stockholders equity during the period from our initial
public offering in 1994 through June 30, 2006 (in thousands):

(1) Estimated interest and penalties on income tax underpayment deficiencies resulting from
disallowed executive compensation deductions under Section 162(m).
In connection with the restatement of our consolidated financial statements discussed above, we
assessed the impact of the findings of our internal investigation into our historical stock option
grant practices and other tax matters on our reported income tax benefits and deductions, including
income tax deductions previously taken for cash and stock-based executive compensation under the
provisions of Section 162(m). In connection with that assessment, we determined that adjustments were
required to our (i) income tax expense previously reported in our Consolidated Statements of
Income; (ii) the tax benefits on stock option exercises previously reported in our Consolidated Statements of Cash
Flows and Consolidated Statement of Changes in Stockholders Equity and (iii) the deferred tax
assets previously reported in our Consolidated Balance Sheets, in order to give effect to the
impact of the investigation findings and those of our assessments.
In our Consolidated Statements of Income, we recorded deferred income tax benefits of $0.8 million,
$2.2 million and $2.7 million for the fiscal years ending June 30, 2006, 2005 and 2004,
respectively, and $9.6 million for periods prior to fiscal year 2004 related to the stock-based
compensation adjustments arising from revised measurement dates. Of these cumulative deferred income tax benefits of $15.3 million, $10.2 million has been realized through June 30, 2006 upon stock option exercises and has
been reflected as a reduction of excess tax benefits previously
recorded in additional paid-in capital. At June 30, 2006 and 2005, we recorded adjustments in our Consolidated
Balance Sheets of $5.1 million and $9.2 million, respectively, to recognize deferred income tax
assets on stock-based compensation relating to unexercised stock
options remaining at those dates.
We also recorded current income
tax benefits of $1.1 million, $0.6 million and $0.4 million for the fiscal years ending June 30,
2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively, and $0.1 million for periods prior to fiscal year 2004 related
to the income tax benefit of the estimated deductible interest expense on income tax underpayment
deficiencies related to disallowed cash and stock based executive
compensation deductions previously taken under Section 162(m) as
discussed in Other tax matters below. These income tax benefits are reduced by current income tax expense of $0 million,
$0.6 million and $1.2 million for the fiscal years June 30, 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively, and
$2.8 million for periods prior to fiscal year 2004 related to disallowed cash based executive
incentive compensation deductions that were previously believed to qualify as a deduction under
36
Section 162(m). The sum of these current and deferred income tax adjustments are reflected as
income tax benefit, net, in the above tables.

Other tax matters
The revision of measurement dates for certain stock option grants in connection with our internal
investigation required us to assess our previous performance-based cash and stock-based executive
compensation income tax deductions previously claimed under Section 162(m) during the applicable
periods. As a result of those assessments, we have determined that certain previously claimed
stock-based executive compensation deductions under Section 162(m) upon stock option exercise are
no longer deductible as a result of revised in-the-money measurement dates. Accordingly, our
restatements include adjustments to record additional income taxes payable in the amount of $13.4
million with a corresponding reduction of excess tax benefits previously recorded in additional
paid-in capital. Our restatements also include adjustments to record additional income taxes
payable in the amount of approximately $15 million with a corresponding reduction of excess tax
benefits previously recorded in additional paid-in capital of $10.5 million and an increase in
current income tax expense of $4.5 million, related to certain cash and stock-based executive
compensation deductions previously taken under Section 162(m), which we
believe may now be non-deductible as a result of information that has been obtained by us in
connection with our internal investigation, due to factors unrelated to revised measurement dates. We have also
recorded estimated penalties and interest in the amount of
$3 million, $2.5 million and $2.5
million for the years ended June 30, 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively, and $3.5 million for
periods prior to fiscal year 2004 for these estimated income tax payment deficiencies.
At
September 30, 2006, we have recorded approximately $38.5 million of additional income taxes payable,
including estimated interest and penalties related disallowed Section 162(m) executive
compensation deductions either resulting from revised measurement dates or due to factors unrelated
to revised measurement dates, but which were previously believed to qualify for Section 162(m)
deductions. At this time, we cannot predict when the Section 162(m) underpayment deficiencies,
together with interest and penalties, if any, will be paid. We expect
to fund any such payments from
cash flows from operating activities.
Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code (Section 409A) provides that option holders with
options granted with a below-market exercise price, to the extent the options were not vested as of
December 31, 2004, may be subject to adverse Federal income tax consequences. Holders of these
options will likely be required to recognize taxable income at the date of vesting for those
options vesting after December 31, 2004, rather than upon exercise, on the difference between the
amount of the fair market value of our Class A common stock on the date of vesting and the exercise
price, plus an additional 20 percent penalty tax and interest on any income tax to be paid. We
will be amending the exercise price of certain outstanding stock options to avoid adverse tax
consequences to individual option holders under Section 409A and all of our employees and
executives (other than Mark A. King, former President and
37
Chief Executive Officer; Warren D. Edwards, former Executive Vice President and Chief Financial
Officer; and one management employee) will be reimbursed to offset any loss of economic benefit
related to such re-priced stock options. We will not be re-pricing all option grants for which
accounting measurement dates were adjusted. Option grants to executives, employees and certain
former employees whose options remain outstanding will be re-priced only to the extent necessary to
avoid adverse tax consequences to the individuals, other than Mr. King, Mr. Edwards and one
management employee. Grants to certain current and former officers and employee directors were
required to be repriced on or before December 31, 2006 in order to comply with income tax
regulations, and accordingly, on December 28, 2006, we repriced awards totaling 876,800 shares held
by certain current and former officers and employee directors.
We expect to pay to certain current and former employees approximately $8 million in order to
compensate such individuals for any increase in exercise price resulting from the matters which
were the subject of the internal investigation, in order to avoid the adverse individual income tax
impact of Section 409A due to revised measurement dates. The $8 million related to Section 409A
will be paid to the affected individuals beginning in January 2008 and
as the related stock options vest. We expect to fund any such payment
from cash flows from operating activities, however, we have not yet
determined the impact to our results of operations or financial
condition. The increased exercise prices to be paid by optionholders upon their exercise is expected to offset, in the
aggregate, the $8 million; however, the timing of any such exercises cannot be determined.
DEPARTURE OF EXECUTIVE OFFICERS
On November 26, 2006, Mark A. King resigned as our President, Chief Executive Officer and as a
director. In connection therewith, on November 26, 2006 we and Mr. King entered into a separation
agreement (the King Agreement). The King Agreement provides, among other things, that Mr. King
will remain with us as an employee providing transitional services until June 30, 2007. In
addition, under the terms of the King Agreement, all unvested stock options held by Mr. King have
been terminated as of November 26, 2006, excluding options that would have otherwise vested prior
to August 31, 2007 which will be permitted to vest on their regularly scheduled vesting dates
provided that Mr. King does not materially breach certain specified provisions of the King
Agreement. The King Agreement also provides that the exercise price of Mr. Kings vested stock
options will be increased to an amount determined by us in a manner consistent with the final
determination of the review performed by us in conjunction with the audit of our financial
statements for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2006 and the exercise price of certain vested
options will be further increased by the amount by which the aggregate exercise price of stock
options previously exercised by Mr. King would have been increased had the stock options not been
previously exercised. Mr. Kings vested options, if unexercised, will expire no later than June
30, 2008. The King Agreement also subjects Mr. King to non-competition and non-solicitation
covenants until December 31, 2009. In addition, the King Agreement provides that Mr. Kings
severance agreement with us is terminated, Mr. Kings salary will be reduced during the transition
period and Mr. King will not be eligible to participate in our bonus plans. Mr. King will
be eligible to receive certain of our provided health benefits through December 31, 2009 the
estimated cost of which is not material.
On November 26, 2006, Warren D. Edwards resigned as our Executive Vice President and Chief
Financial Officer. In connection therewith, on November 26, 2006 we and Mr. Edwards entered into a
separation agreement (the Edwards Agreement). The Edwards Agreement provides, among other things,
that Mr. Edwards will remain with us as an employee providing transitional services until June 30,
2007. In addition, under the terms of the Edwards Agreement, all unvested stock options held by Mr.
Edwards have been terminated as of November 26, 2006, excluding options that would have otherwise
vested prior to August 31, 2007 which will be permitted to vest on their regularly scheduled
vesting dates provided that Mr. Edwards does not materially breach certain specified provisions of
the Edwards Agreement. The Edwards Agreement also provides that the
exercise price of Mr. Edwards
vested stock options will be increased to an amount determined by us in a manner consistent with
the final determination of the review performed by us in conjunction with the audit of our
financial statements for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2006.
Mr. Edwards vested options, if
unexercised, will expire no later than June 30, 2008. The Edwards Agreement also subjects Mr.
Edwards to non-competition and non-solicitation covenants until December 31, 2009. In addition, the
Edwards Agreement provides that Mr. Edwards severance agreement with us is terminated, Mr.
Edwards salary will be reduced during the transition period and Mr. Edwards will not be eligible
to participate in our bonus plans. Mr. Edwards will be eligible to receive certain of our provided
health benefits through December 31, 2009, the estimated cost of which is not material.
On September 29, 2005, Jeffrey A. Rich submitted his resignation as a director and Chief Executive
Officer. On September 30, 2005 we entered into an Agreement with Mr. Rich, which, among other
things, provided the following: (i) Mr. Rich remained on our payroll and was paid his current base
salary (of $820 thousand annually) through June 30, 2006; (ii) Mr. Rich was not eligible to
participate in our performance-based incentive compensation program in fiscal year 2006; (iii) we
purchased from Mr. Rich all options previously granted to Mr. Rich that were vested as of the date
of the Agreement in exchange for an aggregate cash payment, less applicable income and payroll
taxes, equal to the amount determined by subtracting the exercise price of each such vested option
from $54.08 per share and all such vested options were terminated and cancelled; (iv) all options
previously granted to Mr. Rich that were unvested as of the date of the Agreement were terminated
(such options had an in-the-money value of approximately $4.6 million based on the closing price of
our stock on the New York Stock Exchange on September 29, 2005); (v) Mr. Rich received a lump sum
cash payment of $4.1 million; (vi) Mr. Rich continued to receive executive benefits for health,
dental and vision through September 30, 2007; (vii) Mr. Rich also received limited administrative
assistance through September 30, 2006; and (viii) in the event Mr. Rich established
38
an M&A advisory firm by January 1, 2007, we agreed to retain such firm for a two year period from
its formation for $250 thousand per year plus a negotiated success fee for completed transactions.
The Agreement also contains certain standard restrictions, including restrictions on soliciting our
employees for a period of three years and soliciting our customers or competing with us for a
period of two years. Mr. Rich has established an M&A advisory firm and in June 2006, we entered
into an agreement with Rich Capital LLC, an M&A advisory firm owned by Mr. Rich. The agreement is
for two years, during which time we will pay a total of $0.5 million for M&A advisory services,
payable in equal quarterly installments. We paid $63 thousand related to this agreement through
June 30, 2006. However, we have currently suspended payment under this agreement pending a
determination whether Rich Capital LLC is capable of performing its obligations under the contract
in view of the internal investigations conclusions regarding stock options awarded to Mr. Rich.
SIGNIFICANT DEVELOPMENTS
New Business
During the first quarter of fiscal year 2007, we signed contracts with new clients and incremental
business with existing clients representing $131.7 million of annualized recurring revenue. The
Commercial segment contributed 79% of the new contract signings (based on annual recurring
revenues) including contracts with Anthem, Verizon and Humana. The Government segment contributed
21% of the new contract signings (based on annual recurring revenues) including contracts with the
Indiana Department of Workforce Development and the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services.
Acquisition
In July 2006, we completed the acquisition of Primax Recoveries, Inc. (Primax), one of the
industrys oldest and largest health care cost recovery firms. The transaction was valued at
approximately $40 million, plus related transaction costs excluding contingent consideration of up
to $10 million based upon future financial performance and was funded from cash on hand and
borrowings on our Credit Facility (defined in Liquidity and Capital Resources). We believe this
acquisition expands our payor offering to include subrogation and overpayment recovery services to
help clients improve profitability while maintaining their valued relationships with plan
participants, employers and providers. The operating results of the acquired business are
included in our financial statements in the Commercial segment from the effective date of the
acquisition, July 12, 2006.
Restructuring and other activities
During fiscal year 2006, we began a comprehensive assessment of our operations, including our
overall cost structure, competitive position, technology assets and operating platform and foreign
operations. As a result, we began certain restructuring initiatives and activities that are
expected to enhance our competitive position in certain markets, and recorded certain restructuring
charges and asset impairments arising from our discretionary decisions. We estimate a total of
2,100 employees will be involuntarily terminated as a result of these initiatives, consisting
primarily of offshore processors and related management; however, we anticipate that a majority of
these positions will be migrated to lower cost markets. As of September 30, 2006, approximately
2,000 employees have been involuntarily terminated. We anticipate the costs savings related to
these involuntary terminations will be approximately $105 million ($75 million related to
terminations in the first quarter of fiscal year 2007) of wages and benefits per year; however,
some of the cost savings from these involuntary terminations will be reinvested in subject matter
experts, project management talent and sales personnel as we look to further promote those lines of
businesses that reflect the greatest potential for growth. Our assessment activities are ongoing
and may result in further restructuring and related charges, the amount and timing of which cannot
be determined at this time.
In our Commercial segment, we recorded a restructuring charge for involuntary termination of
employees of $4.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2006, which is reflected in
wages and benefits in our Consolidated Statements of Income, and $0.9 million for the three months
ended September 30, 2006, for impairments of facility costs and facility shutdown charges, which
are reflected as part of total operating expenses in our Consolidated Statements of Income. In our
Government segment, we recorded a restructuring charge for involuntary termination of employees of
$0.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2006, which is reflected in wages and
benefits in our Consolidated Statements of Income.

The September 30, 2006 accrual for involuntary termination of employees is expected to be paid
primarily in fiscal year 2007 from cash flows from operating activities.
During fiscal year 2005, we acquired the human resources consulting and outsourcing businesses of
Mellon Financial Corporation (the Acquired HR Business). In the fourth quarter of fiscal year
2006, we substantially completed the integration of the Acquired HR Business. The integration
included the elimination of redundant facilities, marketing and
overhead costs, and the consolidation of processes from the
historical cost structure of the acquired Mellon organization. The liabilities recorded at closing for the Acquired HR Business
include $22.3 million in involuntary employee termination costs for employees of the Acquired HR
Business in accordance with Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 95-3 Recognition of Liabilities
in Connection with a Purchase Business Combination. During the first quarter of fiscal year 2007,
$0.4 million in involuntary employee termination payments were made and charged against accrued
compensation bringing the total payments made to $16.1 million. We also recorded a $3.1 million
and a $1.2 million reduction to the accrual and to goodwill in fiscal year 2006 and the first
quarter of fiscal year 2007, respectively, as a result of a change in our estimates of severance to
be paid. As of September 30, 2006, the balance of the related accrual was $1.9 million and is
expected to be paid primarily in fiscal year 2007 from cash flows from operating activities.
Share Repurchase Programs
In June and August 2006, our Board of Directors authorized two share repurchase programs of up to
$1 billion each of our Class A common stock. The programs,
which are open ended, allow us to
repurchase our shares on the open market, from time to time, in accordance with the requirements of
the SEC rules and regulations, including shares that could be purchased pursuant to SEC Rule
10b5-1. The number of shares to be purchased and the timing of purchases will be based on the
level of cash and debt balances, general business conditions, and other factors, including
alternative investment opportunities. As of September 30, 2006, we had repurchased approximately
19.9 million shares under the June 2006 authority at an average cost of approximately $50.30 per
share (approximately $1 billion) all of which have been retired,
of which 14.4 million shares with an average cost of
approximately $50.64 per share (approximately $730.7 million)
were purchased and retired in the first quarter of fiscal year 2007. No repurchases have been made
under the August 2006 authority as of the date of this filing.
We except to fund repurchases under this additional share repurchase
program from borrowings under our Credit Facility.
Subsequent Events
Please see Review of Stock Option Grant Practices and Departure of Executive Officers above in
this Managements Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations and Financial Condition for
discussions of our internal investigation of our stock option grant practices and subsequent
restatement of previously filed financial statements and the departure of our Chief Executive
Officer and Chief Financial Officer as a result of that investigation.
Please see Credit Facility and Senior Notes below in this Managements Discussion and Analysis
of Results of Operations and Financial Condition Liquidity and Capital Resouces for a discussion
of the Alleged Default and Purported Acceleration of our Senior Notes and waivers, amendments and
consents obtained for our Credit Facility.
In October 2006, we completed the acquisition of Systech Integrators, Inc. (Systech), an
information technology solutions company offering an array of SAP software services. Systechs
services include SAP consulting services, systems integration and custom application development and
maintenance. The transaction was valued at approximately
$65 million plus contingent payments of up to $40 million based on future financial performance. The transaction was funded with a combination of cash on
hand and borrowings under our Credit Facility (defined below). We believe this
acquisition will enhance our position as a comprehensive provider of SAP services across numerous
markets.
Because of the ongoing stock option investigation, we were unable to timely file our Annual Report
on Form 10-K and our Annual Meeting of Stockholders was delayed, and the regularly scheduled
meeting of our Board of Directors that was to have occurred in November 2006 was focused solely on
stock option investigation matters and any other matters for consideration were deferred. Under
our stock option granting policy, the day prior to or the day of that regularly scheduled November
Board meeting, the Compensation Committee could have granted options to new hires, employees
receiving a grant in connection with a promotion, or persons who become ACS employees as a result
of an acquisition. On the morning of December 9, 2006 the Compensation Committee met to discuss
whether options, that were now available under the 1997 Stock Incentive Plan, should be granted to
new hires, employees receiving a grant in connection with a promotion, or persons who became ACS
employees as a result of an acquisition. After consideration of the fact that options would have
been granted in November, if the regularly scheduled Board meeting had not deferred consideration
of matters other than the stock option investigation, the
Compensation Committee met on December 9, 2006 and, as a result
of their actions at that meeting, a grant of 692,000 shares was made to new hires,
employees receiving a grant in connection with a promotion, or persons who become ACS employees as
a result of an acquisition, with such grants including 140,000 shares to Lynn Blodgett, who had
been promoted to President and Chief Executive Officer; 75,000 shares to John Rexford who had been
promoted to Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer; and
100,000 shares each to Ann Vezina and Tom Burlin which grants were in recognition of their
recent promotions to Chief Operating Officers of the Commercial and
Government segments, respectively, and had been approved by the
Compensation Committee on August 15, 2006 but were deferred until
shares were available for grants.
Prior to 2002 we had guaranteed $11.5 million of certain loan obligations owed to Citicorp USA,
Inc. by DDH Aviation, Inc., a corporate airplane brokerage company organized in 1997 (as may have
been reorganized subsequent to July 2002, herein referred to as DDH). Our Chairman owned a
majority interest in DDH. In consideration for that guaranty, we had access to corporate aircraft
at favorable rates. In July 2002, our Chairman assumed in full our guaranty obligations to
Citicorp and Citicorp released in full our guaranty obligations. As partial consideration for the
release of our corporate guaranty, we agreed to provide certain administrative
40
services to DDH at no charge until such time as DDH meets certain specified financial criteria. In
the first quarter of fiscal year 2003, we purchased $1 million in prepaid charter flights at
favorable rates from DDH. As of June 30, 2006, we had $0.6 million remaining in prepaid flights
with DDH. In the second quarter of fiscal year 2007, we were notified by DDH Aviation, Inc., a
corporate airplane brokerage company in which our Chairman owns a majority interest, of their
intent to wind down operations; therefore, we recorded a charge of $0.6 million related to the
unused prepaid charter flights. We anticipate that these administrative services will cease prior
to June 30, 2007 as a result of the wind down of the DDH operations.
The CSB contract is our largest contract. We have provided loan servicing for the Department of
Educations Direct Student Loan program for over ten years. In 2003 the Department conducted a
competitive procurement for its Common Services for Borrowers initiative (CSB). CSB was a
modernization initiative which integrated a number of services for the Department, allowing the
Department to increase service quality while saving overall program costs. In November 2003 the
Department awarded us the CSB contract. Under this contract we provide comprehensive loan
servicing, consolidation loan processing, debt collection services on delinquent accounts, IT
infrastructure operations and support, maintenance and development of information systems, and
portfolio management services for the Department of Educations
Direct Student Loan program. We are also
developing software for use in delivering these services. The CSB contract has a 5-year base term
which began in January 2004 and provides the Department of Education five one-year options to
extend after the base term. We estimate that our revenues from the CSB contract will exceed $1
billion in total over the base term of the contract. Annual revenues from this contract represent
approximately 4% of our fiscal year 2006 revenues.
Through December 31, 2006 our capitalized expenditures for software development under the CSB
contract have totaled approximately $113 million, of which approximately $38 million has been
implemented with the current production system. Our model for development of software under the
CSB contract may change and we may only be able to use a portion of the uncompleted software with
the current production system. As a result, we may incur a material, non-cash, impairment of a
portion of our remaining capitalized software development costs, which aggregate approximately $75
million. However, we currently cannot determine the amount, if any, of this potential impairment
of our capitalized development costs.

REVENUE GROWTH
Internal revenue growth is measured as total revenue growth less acquired revenue from acquisitions
and revenues from divested operations. At the date of acquisition, we identify the trailing twelve
months of revenue of the acquired company as the pre-acquisition revenue of acquired companies.
Pre-acquisition revenue of the acquired companies is considered acquired revenues in our
calculation, and revenues from the acquired company, either above or below that amount are
components of internal growth in our calculation. We use the calculation of internal revenue
growth to measure revenue growth excluding the impact of acquired revenues and the revenue
associated with divested operations and we believe these adjustments to historical reported results
are necessary to accurately reflect our internal revenue growth. Revenues from divested operations
are excluded from the internal revenue growth calculation in the periods following the effective
date of the divestiture. Prior period internal revenue growth calculations are not restated for
current period divestitures. Our measure of internal revenue growth may not be comparable to
similarly titled measures of other companies. The following table sets forth the calculation of
internal revenue growth (in thousands):

COMPARISON OF THE THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2006 TO THE THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30,
2005
Revenues
In the first quarter of fiscal year 2007, our revenues increased $74.5 million, or 6%, to $1.4
billion from $1.3 billion in the first quarter of fiscal year 2006. Internal revenue growth for
the first quarter of fiscal year 2007 was 4% and the remainder of the revenue growth was related to
acquisitions. Excluding revenues related to divested operations,
revenues increased $127.6 million, or 10% from the first quarter of
fiscal year 2006.
Revenue in our Commercial segment, which represents 61% of consolidated revenue for the first
quarter of fiscal year 2007, increased $75.7 million, or 10%, to $841.7 million in the first
quarter of fiscal year 2007 compared to the same period last year. Internal revenue growth was 6%,
due primarily to increased revenue related to contracts with Sprint/Nextel, MeadWestvaco, Disney,
Glaxo-Smith-Kline, Humana, UnumProvident, Aetna, Princeton Health Systems and Kaiser Southern
offset by decreases for General Motors and SBC Communications. The items discussed above
collectively represent 97% of our internal revenue growth for the period in this segment. Revenue
growth from acquisitions was 4% for the three months ended September 30, 2006, primarily related to
the Intellinex and Primax acquisitions completed in May and July 2006, respectively.
Revenue in our Government segment, which represents 39% of consolidated revenue for the first
quarter of fiscal year 2007, decreased $1.2 million, to $543.7 million in the first quarter of
fiscal year 2007 compared to the same period last year. Revenue growth from acquisitions was 9%
primarily due to the Transport Revenue acquisition completed in the second quarter of fiscal year
2006. Excluding revenues related to divested operations,
revenues increased $51.9 million, or 10% from the first quarter of
fiscal year 2006. Internal revenue growth was 1% primarily related to contracts with the State of Maryland,
Social Security Administration, Texas Medicaid, New Hampshire Medicaid, Los Angeles County
Transportation Access Pass, Agency for Health Care Administration in Florida, Pennsylvania
Department of Transportation and the State of Michigan offset by decreases for Texas CHIP, New York
43
Metropolitan Transportation Authority, Department of Education and Georgia Department of Community
Health. The items discussed above collectively represent 91% of our internal revenue growth for
the period in this segment.
Operating Expenses
Wages and benefits increased $37.9 million, or 6%, to $666.6 million. As a percentage of revenue,
wages and benefits increased 0.1% to 48.1% in the first quarter of fiscal year 2007 from 48% in the
first quarter of fiscal year 2006. In the first quarter of fiscal year 2007 we recorded $5.1
million, or 0.4% as a percentage of revenue, related to our restructuring activities. In the first
quarter of fiscal year 2006 we recorded compensation expense of $5.4 million, or 0.4% as a
percentage of revenue, related to the departure of Jeffrey A. Rich, our former Chief Executive Officer.
Services and supplies increased $0.6 million, or 0.2%, to $291.4 million. As a percentage of
revenue, services and supplies decreased 1.2% to 21% in the first quarter of fiscal year 2007 from
22.2% in the first quarter of fiscal year 2006. The decrease was
primarily due to the sale of our Government welfare-to-workforces business in the second
quarter of fiscal year 2006. This business had a higher component of services and supplies than
our ongoing operations.
Rent, lease and maintenance increased $23.9 million, or 15.4%, to $179.1 million. As a percentage
of revenue, rent, lease and maintenance increased 1.1%, to 12.9%, in the first quarter of fiscal
year 2007 from 11.8% in the first quarter of fiscal year 2006. This increase was primarily due to
increases in our information technology services business which have a higher component of rent,
lease and maintenance expense than our other operations.
Depreciation and amortization increased $13.6 million, or 19.9%, to $81.6 million. As a percentage
of revenue, depreciation and amortization increased 0.7%, to 5.9%, in the first quarter of fiscal
year 2007 from 5.2% in the first quarter of fiscal year 2006. This increase was primarily due to
capital expenditures during fiscal year 2006 and the first quarter of
fiscal year 2007 in our information technology services business.
Other operating expense increased $5.5 million to $15.3 million. As a percentage of revenue, other
operating expense increased 0.4%, to 1.1%. In the first quarter of fiscal year 2007 we recorded
$7.7 million, or 0.6% as a percentage of revenue, in legal and other costs associated with the
ongoing stock option investigation and shareholder derivative lawsuits. In the first quarter of
fiscal year 2006 we recorded bad debt expense of $3 million, or 0.2% as a percentage of revenue,
for an assessment of risk related to the bankruptcies of certain airline clients.
44
Operating Income
Operating income decreased $13.3 million, or 8.7% in the first quarter of fiscal year 2007 compared
to the prior year. As a percentage of revenues, operating income
decreased 1.6%. In the first quarter of fiscal year 2007, we recorded
$2.1 million of asset impairment and other charges related to
internal use software impairments and facility shutdowns included in
various cost of revenues accounts. Operating income
in the first quarter of fiscal years 2007 and 2006 were negatively impacted by the following (in

Interest Expense
Interest expense increased $33.3 million, to $46 million. As a percentage of revenue, interest
expense increased 2.4% to 3.4% primarily due to interest expense on cash borrowed to finance our
share repurchase programs during fiscal years 2006 and 2007. Interest expense also includes $2.6
million in charges related to a waiver fee on our Credit Facility in the first quarter of fiscal
year 2007.
Other non-operating income, net
Other non-operating income, net decreased $1.8 million to $2.6 million. Other non-operating
income, net decreased primarily due to gains on long-term investments recorded in the first quarter
of fiscal year 2006 offset by increased interest income on cash
investments as a result of higher average cash
balances during the current year quarter.
Income tax expense
Our effective income tax rate increased to 37% in the first quarter of fiscal year 2007 from 36% in
the first quarter of fiscal year 2006. Our effective income tax rate increased primarily due to
higher state and foreign income taxes and a reduction in other deductions and credits. Our
effective income tax rate is higher than the 35% federal statutory rate primarily due to the effect
of state income taxes.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Cash Flow
During the first quarter of fiscal year 2007, we generated approximately $173.2 million in cash
flows provided by operating activities compared to $109.3 million in the first quarter of fiscal
year 2006. Increased collections on accounts receivable
contributed to this increase during the first
quarter of fiscal year 2007. The timing of compensation payments to
employees and benefit payments to providers, as well as reduced
incentive compensation payments in fiscal year 2007, also contributed
to this increase during the first quarter of fiscal year 2007.
Accounts receivable fluctuations may have a significant impact on our cash flows provided by
operating activities. The payments received from clients on our billed accounts receivables and the
increase in such accounts receivable are reflected as a single component of our cash flows provided
by operating activities, and the timing of collections of these receivables may have either a
positive or negative impact on our liquidity.
45
Free cash flow is measured as cash flow provided by operating activities (as reported in our
consolidated statements of cash flow), less capital expenditures (purchases of property, equipment
and software, net of sales, as reported in our consolidated statements of cash flow) less additions
to other intangible assets (as reported in our consolidated statements of cash flows). We believe
this free cash flow metric provides an additional measure of available cash flow after we have
satisfied the capital expenditure requirements of our operations, and should not be taken in
isolation to be a measure of cash flow available for us to satisfy all of our obligations and
execute our business strategies. We also rely on cash flows from investing and financing
activities which, together with free cash flow, are expected to be sufficient for us to execute our
business strategies. Our measure of free cash flow may not be comparable to similarly titled
measures of other companies. The following table sets forth the calculations of free cash flow (in
thousands):

During the first quarter of fiscal year 2007, net cash used in investing activities was $150.9
million compared to $165.4 million in the first quarter of fiscal year 2006. In the first quarter
of fiscal year 2007, we used $34 million for acquisitions,
primarily the purchase of Primax, net of
cash acquired, and contingent consideration payment on a prior year acquisition. In the first
quarter of fiscal year 2006, we used $42.6 million for acquisitions, primarily the purchase of
LiveBridge, Inc. and a contingent consideration payment on a prior year acquisition. Cash used for the
purchase of property, equipment and software and additions to other intangible assets was $110.6
million and $101.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively.
During the first quarter of fiscal year 2006, we used $16.5 million to acquire intangible assets in
connection with the termination of a subcontractor arrangement.
During the first quarter of fiscal year 2007 and 2006, net cash provided by financing activities
was $19.2 million and $27.6 million, respectively. Such financing activities include net
borrowings on our Credit Facility, proceeds from the exercise of stock options, excess tax benefits
from stock-based compensation arrangements and proceeds from the issuance of treasury shares offset
by purchases treasury shares of under our share repurchase programs.
Credit Facility
On July 6, 2006, we amended our secured term loan facility (Term Loan Facility) under our Credit
Agreement dated March 20, 2006 (Credit Facility) and borrowed an additional $500 million on July
6, 2006 and an additional $500 million on August 1, 2006. As a result of the increase to the
facility, the Applicable Margin, as defined in the Credit Facility, increased to LIBOR plus 200
basis points. We used the proceeds of the Term Loan Facility increase to finance the purchase of
shares of our Class A common stock under our June 2006
authorization and for the payment of transaction costs, fees and expenses
related to the increase in the Term Loan Facility. The borrowing rate
under the Term Loan Facility as of January 12, 2007 was 7.36%.
Following the Tender Offer, our credit ratings were downgraded by Moodys and Standard and Poors,
both to below investment grade. Standard & Poors further downgraded us upon our announcement in
June 2006 of the approval by our Board of Directors of a new $1 billion share repurchase plan.
Fitch initiated its coverage of us in August 2006 at a rating of BB, except for our Senior Notes
which were rated BB-. Standard & Poors downgraded our credit rating further, to B+, following our
announcement on September 28, 2006 that we would not be able to file our Annual Report on Form 10-K
for the period ending June 30, 2006 by the September 28, 2006 extended deadline.
Draws made under our credit facilities are made to fund cash acquisitions, share repurchases and
for general working capital requirements. During the trailing twelve months ended September 30,
2006, the balance outstanding under our credit facilities for borrowings ranged from $233 million
to $1.9 billion. At September 30, 2006, we had approximately $820.7 million available under our
revolving credit facility after giving effect to outstanding indebtedness of $63.7 million and
$115.6 million of outstanding letters of credit that secure certain contractual performance and
other obligations and which reduce the availability of our revolving credit facility. At September
30, 2006, we had $1.9 billion outstanding under our Credit Facility, of which $1.8 billion is
reflected in long-term debt and $18 million is reflected in current portion of long-term debt, and
of which $63.8 million bore interest from 3.025% to 4.620% and the remainder bore interest from
7.389% to 7.4%. As of September 30, 2006, we were in compliance with the covenants of our Credit
Facility, as amended, as described further below.
On September 26, 2006, we received an amendment, consent and waiver from the lenders under our
Credit Facility with respect to, among other provisions, waiver of any default or event of default
arising under the Credit Facility as a result of our failure to comply with certain reporting
covenants relating to other indebtedness, including covenants purportedly requiring the filing of
reports with either the SEC or the holders of such indebtedness, so long as those requirements are
complied with by December 31, 2006. As consideration for this amendment, consent and waiver, we
paid a fee of $2.6 million.
46
On December 21, 2006, we received an amendment, consent and waiver from lenders under our Credit
Facility. The amendment, consent and waiver includes the following provisions, among others:
|
(1) |
|
Consent to the delivery, on or prior to February 14, 2007,
of (i) the financial statements, accountants report and
compliance certificate for the fiscal year ended June 30,
2006 and (ii) financial statements and related compliance
certificates for the fiscal quarters ended June 30, 2006
and September 30, 2006, and waiver of any default arising
from the failure to deliver any such financial statements,
reports or certificates within the applicable time period
provided for in the Credit Agreement, provided that any
such failure to deliver resulted directly or indirectly
from the previously announced investigation of the
Companys historical stock option grant practices (the
Options Matter). |
|
|
(2) |
|
Waiver of any default or event of default arising from the
incorrectness of representations and warranties made or
deemed to have been made with respect to certain financial
statements previously delivered to the Agent as a result of
any restatement, adjustment or other modification of such
financial statements resulting directly or indirectly from
the Options Matter. |
|
|
(3) |
|
Waiver of any default or event of default which may arise
from the Companys or its subsidiaries failure to comply
with reporting covenants under other indebtedness that are
similar to those in the Credit Agreement (including any
covenant to file any report with the Securities and
Exchange Commission or to furnish such reports to the
holders of such indebtedness), provided such reporting
covenants are complied with on or prior to February 14,
2007. |
|
|
(4) |
|
Amendments to provisions relating to the permitted uses of
the proceeds of revolving loans under the Credit Agreement
that (i) increase to $500 million from $350 million the
aggregate principal amount of revolving loans that may be
outstanding, the proceeds of which may be used to satisfy
the obligations under the Companys 4.70% Senior Notes due
2010 or 5.20% Senior Notes due 2015 and (ii) until June 30,
2007, decrease to $200 million from $300 million the
minimum liquidity (i.e., the aggregate amount of the
Companys unrestricted cash in excess of $50 million and
availability under the Credit Agreements revolving
facility) required after giving effect to such use of
proceeds. |
As consideration for this amendment, waiver and consent, we paid a fee of $1.3 million.
Senior Notes
On September 22, 2006, we received a letter from CEDE & Co. (CEDE) sent on behalf of certain
holders of our 5.20% Senior Notes due 2015 (the 5.20% Senior Notes) issued by us under that
certain Indenture dated June 6, 2005 (the Indenture) between us and The Bank of New York Trust
Company, N.A. (the Trustee) advising us that we were in default of our covenants under the
Indenture. The letter alleged that our failure to timely file our Annual Report on Form 10-K for
the period ending June 30, 2006 by September 13, 2006, was a default under the terms of the
Indenture. On September 29, 2006, we received a letter from CEDE sent on behalf of the same persons
declaring an acceleration with respect to the 5.20% Senior Notes, as a result of our failure to
remedy the default set forth in the September 22 letter related to our failure to timely file our
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the period ended June 30, 2006. The September 29 letter declared
that the principal amount and premium, if any, and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the
5.20% Senior Notes were due and payable immediately, and demanded payment of all amounts owed in
respect of the 5.20% Senior Notes.
On September 29, 2006 we received a letter from the Trustee with respect to the 5.20% Senior Notes.
The letter alleged that we were in default of our covenants under the Indenture with respect to the
5.20% Senior Notes, as the result of our failure to timely file our Annual Report on Form 10-K for
the period ending June 30, 2006 on or before September 28, 2006. On October 6, 2006, we received a
letter from the Trustee declaring an acceleration with respect to the 5.20% Senior Notes as a
result of our failure to timely file our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the period ending June 30,
2006 on or before September 28, 2006. The October 6, 2006 letter declared the principal amount and
premium, if any, and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the 5.20% Senior Notes to be due and
payable immediately, and demanded payment of all amounts owed in respect of the 5.20% Senior Notes.
In addition, our 4.70% Senior Notes due 2010 (the 4.70% Senior Notes) were also issued under the
Indenture and have identical default and acceleration provisions as the 5.20% Senior Notes. On
October 9, 2006, we received letters from certain holders of the 4.70% Senior Notes issued
by us under the Indenture, advising us that we were in default of our covenants under the
Indenture. The letters alleged that our failure to timely file our Annual Report on Form 10-K for
the period ending June 30, 2006 by September 13, 2006, was a default under the terms of the
Indenture. On November 9, 10 and 16, 2006, we received letters from CEDE sent on behalf of certain
holders of our 4.70% Senior Notes, declaring an acceleration of the 4.70% Senior Notes as the
result of our failure to timely file our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the period ending June 30,
2006. The November 9, 10 and 16, 2006 letters declared the
principal amount and premium, if any, and, accrued and unpaid
interest, if any, on the 4.70% Senior Notes to be due and payable immediately, and
demanded payment of all amounts owed under the 4.70% Senior Notes.
47
It is our position that no default has occurred under the Indenture and that no acceleration has
occurred with respect to the 5.20% Senior Notes or the 4.70% Senior Notes (collectively, the
Senior Notes) or otherwise under the Indenture. Further we have filed a lawsuit against the
Trustee in the United States District Court, Northern District of Texas, Dallas Division, seeking a
declaratory judgment affirming our position. On January 8, 2007, the Court entered an order
substituting Wilmington Trust Company for the Bank of New York. On January 16, 2007, Wilmington
Trust Company filed an answer and counterclaim. The counterclaim seeks immediate payment of all
principal and accrued and unpaid interest on the Senior Notes. Alternatively, the counterclaim
seeks damages measured by the difference between the fair market value of the Senior Notes on or
about September 22, 2006 and par value of the Senior Notes.
Unless and until there is a final judgment rendered in the lawsuit described above (including any
appellate proceedings), no legally enforceable determination can be made as to whether the failure
to timely file our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the period ending June 30, 2006 is a default
under the Indenture as alleged by the letters referenced above. If there is a final legally
enforceable determination that the failure to timely file our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the
period ending June 30, 2006 is a default under the Indenture, and that acceleration with respect to
the Senior Notes was proper, the principal and premium, if any, and all accrued and unpaid
interest, if any, on the Senior Notes would be immediately due and payable.
In the event the claim of default against us made by certain holders of the Senior Notes is upheld
in a court of law and we are required to payoff the Senior Notes, it
is most likely that we would utilize the Credit Facility to fund such payoff. Under the terms of the Credit
Facility, we can utilize borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility,
subject to certain liquidity requirements, or may seek additional commitments for funding under the
Term Loan Facility of the Credit Facility. We estimate we
have sufficient liquidity to meet both the needs of our operations and any potential payoff of the
Senior Notes. While we do have availability under our Credit Facility
to draw funds to repay the
Senior Notes, there may be a decrease in our credit availability that could otherwise be used for
other corporate purposes, such as acquisitions and share repurchases.
If our Senior Notes are refinanced or the determination is made that the outstanding balance is due
to the noteholders, the remaining unrealized loss on forward interest rate agreements reported in
other comprehensive income of $15.7 million ($9.8 million, net of income tax), unamortized deferred
financing costs of $3 million ($1.9 million, net of income tax) and unamortized discount of $0.6
million ($0.4 million, net of income tax) associated with our Senior Notes as of September 30, 2006
may be adjusted and reported as interest expense in our Consolidated Statement of Income in the
period of refinancing or demand.
On December 19, 2006, we entered into an Instrument of Resignation, Appointment and Acceptance with
The Bank of New York Trust Company, N.A. and Wilmington Trust Company, whereby The Bank of New York
Trust Company, N.A. resigned as trustee, as well as other offices or agencies, with respect to the
Senior Notes, and was replaced by Wilmington Trust Company.
Other credit arrangements
Certain contracts, primarily in our Government segment, require us to provide a surety bond or a
letter of credit as a guarantee of performance. As of September 30, 2006, outstanding surety bonds
of $497.6 million and $93.3 million of our outstanding letters of credit secure our performance of
contractual obligations with our clients. Approximately $22.4 million of letters of credit and
$1.9 million of surety bonds secure our casualty insurance and vendor programs and other corporate
obligations. In general, we would only be liable for the amount of these guarantees in the event of
default in our performance of our obligations under each contract, the probability of which we
believe is remote. We believe that we have sufficient capacity in the surety markets and liquidity
from our cash flow and our Credit Facility to respond to future requests for proposals.
Credit Ratings
Following the Tender Offer, our credit ratings were downgraded by Moodys and Standard and Poors,
both to below investment grade. Standard & Poors further downgraded us to BB upon our
announcement in June 2006 of the approval by our Board of Directors of a new $1 billion share
repurchase plan. Fitch initiated its coverage of us in August 2006 at a rating of BB, except for
our Senior Notes which were rated BB-. Standard & Poors downgraded our credit rating further, to
B+, following our announcement on September 28, 2006 that we would not be able to file our Annual
Report on Form 10-K for the period ending June 30, 2006 by the September 28, 2006 extended
deadline. There may be additional reductions in our ratings depending on the timing and amounts
that may be drawn under our Credit Facility. As a result, the terms of any financings we choose to
enter into in the future may be adversely affected. In addition, as a result of these downgrades,
the sureties which provide performance bonds backing our contractual obligations could reduce the
availability of these bonds, increase the price of the bonds to us or require us to provide
collateral such as a letter of credit. However, we believe that we will continue to have sufficient
capacity in the surety markets and liquidity from our cash flow and Credit Facility to respond to
future requests for proposals. In addition, certain of our commercial outsourcing contracts
provide that, in the event our credit ratings are downgraded to certain specified levels, the
customer may elect to terminate its contract with us and either pay a reduced termination fee or in
some instances, no termination fee. While we do not anticipate that the downgrading of our credit
ratings in connection with the Tender Offer will result in a material loss of commercial
outsourcing revenue due to the customers exercise of these termination rights, there can be no
assurance that such a credit ratings downgrade will not adversely affect these customer
relationships.
48
Derivative instruments and hedging activities
We hedge the variability of a portion of our anticipated future Mexican peso cash flows through
foreign exchange forward agreements. The agreements are designated as cash flow hedges of
forecasted payments related to certain operating costs of our Mexican operations. As of September
30, 2006, the notional amount of these agreements totaled 419.5 million pesos ($37.7 million) and
expire at various dates over the next 12 months. Upon termination of these agreements, we will
purchase Mexican pesos at the exchange rates specified in the forward agreements to be used for
payments on our forecasted Mexican peso operating costs. As of September 30, 2006, the unrealized
gain on these foreign exchange forward agreements, reflected in accumulated other comprehensive
loss, net, was approximately $67,000 ($43,000, net of income tax). As of June 30, 2006, the unrealized
loss on these foreign exchange forward agreements, reflected in accumulated other comprehensive
loss, was approximately $0.5 million ($0.3 million, net of income tax).
As part of the Transport Revenue acquisition, we acquired foreign exchange forward agreements that
hedge our French operations Euro foreign exchange exposure related to its Canadian dollar and
United States dollar revenues. These agreements do not qualify for hedge accounting under
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and
Hedging Activities. As a result, we recorded a loss on hedging instruments of $0.8 million ($0.5
million, net of income tax) for the three months ended September 30, 2006 in other non-operating
income, net in our Consolidated Statements of Income. As of September 30, 2006, the
notional amount of these agreements totaled $44.4 million Canadian dollars and $4.4 million U.S.
dollars, respectively, and are set to expire at various times over the next four years. As of
September 30, 2006, a liability was recorded for the related fair value of approximately $4.9
million.
Share Repurchase Programs
In June and August 2006, our Board of Directors authorized two share repurchase programs of up to
$1 billion each of our Class A common stock. The programs,
which are open ended, allow us to
repurchase our shares on the open market, from time to time, in accordance with the requirements of
the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) rules and regulations, including shares that could
be purchased pursuant to SEC Rule 10b5-1. The number of shares to be purchased and the timing of
purchases will be based on the level of cash and debt balances, general business conditions, and
other factors, including alternative investment opportunities. As of September 30, 2006, we had
repurchased approximately 19.9 million shares under the June 2006 authority at an average cost of
approximately $50.30 per share (approximately $1 billion) all of
which have been retired, of which 14.4 million shares with an
average cost of approximately $50.64 per share (approximately
$730.7 million) were purchased and retired in the first quarter
of fiscal year 2007. No
repurchases have been made under the August 2006 authority as of the date of this filing. We expect
to fund repurchases under this additional share repurchase program from borrowings under our Credit
Facility.
Other
As discussed in Review of Stock Option Grant Practices above, as a result of our internal
investigation into our stock option grant practices, we restated certain of our previously filed
consolidated financial statements and recorded cumulative adjustments for non-cash stock-based
compensation expense totaling $51.2 million. While these expenses are non-cash, the income tax
related impacts are expected to require the use of cash. At September 30, 2006, we have recorded
approximately $38.5 million of additional income taxes payable, including estimated interest and
penalties related to certain disallowed Section 162(m) executive compensation deductions. We also
expect to pay to certain current and former employees approximately $8 million in order to
compensate such individuals for any increase in exercise price resulting from the matters which
were the subject of the internal investigation, in order to avoid the adverse individual income tax
impact of Section 409A due to revised measurement dates. The $8 million related
to Section 409A will be paid to the affected
individuals beginning in January 2008 and as the related stock
options vest. We expect to fund any such payment from cash flows from
operating activities, however, we have not yet determined the impact
to our results of operations and financial condition. The increased exercise prices to be paid by optionholders upon their exercise
is expected to offset, in the aggregate, the $8 million; however, the timing of any such exercises
cannot be determined. At this time, we cannot predict when the Section 162(m) underpayment
deficiencies, together with interest and penalties, if any, will be paid.
At September 30, 2006, we had cash and cash equivalents of $142.2 million compared to $100.8
million at June 30, 2006. Our working capital (defined as current assets less current liabilities)
increased $21.5 million to $725.7 million at September 30,
2006 from $704.2 million at June 30, 2006.
Our current ratio (defined as total current assets divided by total current liabilities) was 1.8
and 1.9 at September 30, 2006 and June 30, 2006, respectively. Our debt-to-capitalization ratio
(defined as the sum of short-term and long-term debt divided by the sum of short-term and long-term
debt and equity) was 57% and 40% at September 30, 2006 and June 30, 2006, respectively.
We believe that available cash and cash equivalents, together with cash generated from operations
and available borrowings under our Credit Facility, will provide adequate funds for our anticipated
internal growth and operating needs, including capital expenditures, and will meet the cash
requirements of our contractual obligations. However, due to the additional borrowings made in
relation to our share repurchase programs and if we utilize the unused portion of our Credit
Facility to repay the Senior Notes or for other corporate purposes, our indebtedness and interest
expense would increase, possibly significantly, and our indebtedness could be substantial in
relation to our stockholders equity. We believe that our expected cash flow provided by operating
activities, and anticipated access to the unused portion of our new Credit Facility and capital
markets will be adequate for our expected liquidity needs, including capital
49
expenditures, and to meet the cash requirements of our contractual obligations. In addition, we
intend to continue our growth through acquisitions, which could require significant commitments of
capital. In order to pursue such opportunities we may be required to incur debt or to issue
additional potentially dilutive securities in the future. No assurance can be given as to our
future acquisitions and expansion opportunities and how such opportunities will be financed.

Excludes accrued interest of $22.9 million at September 30, 2006. |

We have various contractual commitments to lease hardware and software and for the
purchase of maintenance on such leased assets with varying terms through fiscal year 2013,
which are included in operating leases in the table. |
|
(3) |
|
We have entered into various contractual agreements to purchase telecommunications
services. These agreements provide for minimum annual spending commitments, and have
varying terms through fiscal year 2010, and are included in purchase obligations in the
table. |
|
(4) |
|
We have entered into a two year agreement with Rich Capital, LLC, an M&A advisory
firm owned by our former Chief Executive Officer, to provide us with advisory services in
connection with potential acquisition candidates. This contractual obligation is included
in purchase obligations in the table above. However, we have currently suspended payment
under this agreement pending determination whether Rich Capital LLC is capable of
performing its obligations under the contract in view of the internal investigations
conclusions regarding stock options awarded to Mr. Rich. |
We expect to contribute approximately $11 million to our pension plans in fiscal year 2007.
Minimum pension funding requirements are not included in the table above as such amounts are zero
for our pension plans as of September 30, 2006. See Critical Accounting Policies for discussion of
our pension plans.
As discussed above, certain contracts, primarily in our Government segment, require us to provide a
surety bond or a letter of credit as a guarantee of performance. As of September 30, 2006,
outstanding surety bonds of $497.5 million and $93.3 million of our outstanding letters of credit
secure our performance of contractual obligations with our clients. Approximately $22.4 million of
letters of credit and $1.9 million of surety bonds secure our casualty insurance and vendor
programs and other corporate obligations. In general, we would only be liable for the amount of
these guarantees in the event of default in our performance of our obligations under each contract;
the probability of which we believe is remote. We believe that we have sufficient capacity in the
surety markets and liquidity from our cash flow and our Credit Facility to respond to future
requests for proposals.
We are obligated to make contingent payments to former shareholders of acquired entities upon
satisfaction of certain contractual criteria in conjunction with certain acquisitions. During the
first quarter of fiscal year 2007, we made contingent consideration payments of $1.5 million
related to acquisitions completed in prior years. As of September 30, 2006, the maximum aggregate
amount of the outstanding contingent obligations to former shareholders of acquired entities is
approximately $70.3 million. Upon satisfaction of the specified contractual criteria, such payments
primarily result in a corresponding increase in goodwill.
We have indemnified Lockheed Martin Corporation against certain specified claims from certain
pre-sale litigation, investigations,
50
government audits and other issues related to the Divested
Federal Business. Our contractual maximum exposure under these indemnifications is $85 million;
however, we believe the actual exposure to be significantly less. As of September 30, 2006, other
accrued liabilities include a reserve for these claims in an amount we believe to be adequate at
this time. As discussed in Note 13 to our Consolidated Financial Statements, we have agreed to
indemnify ManTech International Corporation with respect to the DOJ investigation related to
purchasing activities at Hanscom during the period 1998-2000.
Our Education Services business, which is included in our Commercial segment, performs third party
student loan servicing in the Federal Family Education Loan program (FFEL) on behalf of various
financial institutions. We service these loans for investors under outsourcing arrangements and do
not acquire any servicing rights that are transferable by us to a third party. At September 30,
2006, we serviced a FFEL portfolio of approximately 2.1 million loans with an outstanding principal
balance of approximately $29.8 billion. Some servicing agreements contain provisions that, under
certain circumstances, require us to purchase the loans from the investor if the loan guaranty has
been permanently terminated as a result of a loan default caused by our servicing error. If
defaults caused by us are cured during an initial period, any obligation we may have to purchase
these loans expires. Loans that we purchase may be subsequently cured, the guaranty reinstated and
then we repackage the loans for sale to third parties. We evaluate our exposure under our purchase
obligations on defaulted loans and establish a reserve for potential losses, or default liability
reserve, through a charge to the provision for loss on defaulted loans purchased. The reserve is
evaluated periodically and adjusted based upon managements analysis of the historical performance
of the defaulted loans. As of September 30, 2006 and June 30, 2006, other accrued liabilities
include reserves which we believe to be adequate.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The preparation of our financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles requires us to make estimates and assumptions relating to the reporting of assets and
liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, and the reported amounts of
revenues and expenses. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other
assumptions or conditions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual
results could differ from those estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
Critical accounting policies are defined as those that are reflective of significant judgments and
uncertainties and may result in materially different results under different assumptions and
conditions. We believe that the following critical accounting policies used in the preparation of
our consolidated financial statements involve significant judgments and estimates.
Revenue recognition
A significant portion of our revenue is recognized based on objective criteria that do not require
significant estimates or uncertainties. For example, transaction volumes and time and costs under
time and material and cost reimbursable arrangements are based on specific, objective criteria
under the contracts. Accordingly, revenues recognized under these methods do not require the use
of significant estimates that are susceptible to change. Revenue recognized using the
percentage-of-completion accounting method does require the use of estimates and judgment as
discussed below.
Our policy follows the guidance from SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin 104 Revenue Recognition (SAB
104). SAB 104 provides guidance on the recognition, presentation, and disclosure of revenue in
financial statements and updates Staff Accounting Bulletin Topic 13 to be consistent with Emerging
Issues Task Force Issue No. 00-21, Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables (EITF
00-21). We recognize revenues when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the services
have been provided to the client, the sales price is fixed or determinable, and collectibility is
reasonably assured.
During fiscal year 2006, approximately 77% of our revenue was recognized based on transaction
volumes, approximately 10% was fixed fee based, wherein our revenue is earned as we fulfill our
performance obligations under the arrangement, approximately 7% was related to cost reimbursable
contracts, approximately 4% of our revenue was recognized using percentage-of-completion accounting
and the remainder is related to time and material contracts. Our revenue mix is subject to change
due to the impact of acquisitions, divestitures and new business.
Revenues on cost reimbursable contracts are recognized by applying an estimated factor to costs as
incurred, such factor being determined by the contract provisions and prior experience. Revenues on
unit-price contracts are recognized at the contractual selling prices of work completed and
accepted by the client. Revenues on time and material contracts are recognized at the contractual
rates as the labor hours and direct expenses are incurred.
Revenues for business process outsourcing services are recognized as services are rendered,
generally on the basis of the number of accounts or transactions processed. Information technology
processing revenues are recognized as services are provided to the client, generally at the
contractual selling prices of resources consumed or capacity utilized by our clients. Revenues from
annual maintenance contracts are deferred and recognized ratably over the maintenance period. Revenues
from hardware sales are recognized
51
upon delivery to the client and when uncertainties regarding
customer acceptance have expired.
Revenues on certain fixed price contracts where we provide information technology system
development and implementation services are recognized over the contract term based on the
percentage of development and implementation services that are provided during the period compared
with the total estimated development and implementation services to be provided over the entire
contract using Statement of Position 81-1, Accounting for Performance of Construction-Type and
Certain Production-Type Contracts (SOP 81-1). SOP 81-1 requires the use of
percentage-of-completion accounting for long-term contracts that are binding agreements between us
and our customers in which we agree, for compensation, to perform a service to the customers
specifications. These services require that we perform significant, extensive and complex design,
development, modification and implementation activities for our customers systems. Performance
will often extend over long periods, and our right to receive future payment depends on our future
performance in accordance with the agreement.
The percentage-of-completion methodology involves recognizing revenue using the percentage of
services completed, on a current cumulative cost to total cost basis, using a reasonably consistent
profit margin over the period. Due to the longer term nature of these projects, developing the
estimates of costs often requires significant judgment. Factors that must be considered in
estimating the progress of work completed and ultimate cost of the projects include, but are not
limited to, the availability of labor and labor productivity, the nature and complexity of the work
to be performed, and the impact of delayed performance. If changes occur in delivery, productivity
or other factors used in developing the estimates of costs or revenues, we revise our cost and
revenue estimates, which may result in increases or decreases in revenues and costs, and such
revisions are reflected in income in the period in which the facts that give rise to that revision
become known.
EITF 00-21 addresses the accounting treatment for an arrangement to provide the delivery or
performance of multiple products and/or services where the delivery of a product or system or
performance of services may occur at different points in time or over different periods of time.
The Emerging Issues Task Force reached a consensus regarding, among other issues, the applicability
of the provisions regarding separation of contract elements in EITF 00-21 to contracts where one or
more elements fall within the scope of other authoritative literature, such as SOP 81-1. EITF 00-21
does not impact the use of SOP 81-1 for contract elements that fall within the scope of SOP 81-1,
such as the implementation or development of an information technology system to client
specifications under a long-term contract. Where an implementation or development project is
contracted with a client, and we will also provide services or operate the system over a period of
time, EITF 00-21 provides the methodology for separating the contract elements and allocating total
arrangement consideration to the contract elements. We adopted the provisions of EITF 00-21 on a
prospective basis to transactions entered into after July 1, 2003.
Revenues earned in excess of related billings are accrued, whereas billings in excess of revenues
earned are deferred until the related services are provided. We recognize revenues for
non-refundable, upfront implementation fees over the period between the initiation of the ongoing
services through the end of the contract term on a straight-line basis.
Cost of revenues
We present cost of revenues in our Consolidated Statements of Income based on the nature of the
costs incurred. Substantially all these costs are incurred in the provision of services to our
customers. The selling, general and administrative costs included in cost of revenues are not
material and are not separately presented in the Consolidated Statements of Income.
Contingencies
We account for claims and contingencies in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 5, Accounting for Contingencies (SFAS 5). SFAS 5 requires that we record an
estimated loss from a claim or loss contingency when information available prior to issuance of our
financial statements indicates that it is probable that an asset has been impaired or a liability
has been incurred at the date of the financial statements and the amount of the loss can be
reasonably estimated. Accounting for claims and contingencies requires us to use our judgment. We
consult with legal counsel on those issues related to litigation and seek input from other experts
and advisors with respect to matters in the ordinary course of business.
Our contracts with clients typically span several years. We continuously review and reassess our
estimates of contract profitability. If our estimates indicate that a contract loss will occur, a
loss accrual is recorded in the consolidated financial statements in the period it is first
identified. Circumstances that could potentially result in contract losses over the life of the
contract include decreases in volumes of transactions, variances from expected costs to deliver our
services, and other factors affecting revenues and costs.
Valuation of goodwill and intangibles
Due to the fact that we are primarily a services company, our business acquisitions typically
result in significant amounts of goodwill and other intangible assets, which affect the amount of
future period amortization expense and possible expense we could incur as a result of an
impairment. In addition, in connection with our revenue arrangements, we incur costs to originate
contracts and to perform the transition and setup activities necessary to enable us to perform
under the terms of the arrangement. We capitalize certain
incremental direct costs which are related to the contract origination or transition,
implementation and setup activities and amortize
52
them over the term of the arrangement. From time
to time, we also provide certain inducements to customers in the form of various arrangements,
including contractual credits, which are capitalized and amortized as a reduction of revenue over
the term of the contract. The determination of the value of goodwill and other intangibles
requires us to make estimates and assumptions about future business trends and growth. We
continually evaluate whether events and circumstances have occurred that indicate the balance of
goodwill or intangible assets may not be recoverable. In evaluating impairment, we estimate the
sum of expected future cash flows derived from the goodwill or intangible asset. Such evaluation
is significantly impacted by estimates and assumptions of future revenues, costs and expenses and
other factors. If an event occurs which would cause us to revise our estimates and assumptions
used in analyzing the value of our goodwill or other intangible assets, such revision could result
in a non-cash impairment charge that could have a material impact on our financial results.
Share-Based Compensation
We adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based
Payment (SFAS 123(R)) as of July 1, 2005. SFAS 123(R) requires us to recognize compensation
expense for all share-based payment arrangements based on the fair value of the share-based payment
on the date of grant. We elected the modified prospective application method for adoption, which
requires compensation expense to be recorded for all stock-based awards granted after July 1, 2005
and for all unvested stock options outstanding as of July 1, 2005, beginning in the first quarter
of adoption. For all unvested options outstanding as of July 1, 2005, the remaining previously
measured but unrecognized compensation expense, based on the fair
value using revised grant dates as determined in connection with our internal investigation into our
stock option grant practices (see Review of Stock Option Grant Practices above) will be
recognized as wages and benefits in the Consolidated Statements of Income on a straight-line basis
over the remaining vesting period. For share-based payments granted subsequent to July 1, 2005,
compensation expense, based on the fair value on the date of grant, will be recognized in the
Consolidated Statements of Income in wages and benefits on a straight-line basis over the vesting
period. In determining the fair value of stock options, we use the Black-Scholes option pricing
model that employs the following assumptions:
|
|
|
Expected volatility of our stock price based on historical monthly volatility over the
expected term based on daily closing stock prices. |
|
|
|
|
Expected term of the option based on historical employee stock option exercise behavior,
the vesting term of the respective option and the contractual term. |
|
|
|
|
Risk-free interest rate for periods within the expected term of the option. |
|
|
|
|
Dividend yield. |
Our stock price volatility and expected option lives are based on managements best estimates
at the time of grant, both of which impact the fair value of the option calculated under the
Black-Scholes methodology and, ultimately, the expense that will be recognized over the vesting
term of the option.
SFAS 123(R) requires that we recognize compensation expense for only the portion of
share-based payment arrangements that are expected to vest. Therefore, we apply estimated
forfeiture rates that are based on historical employee termination behavior. We periodically adjust
the estimated forfeiture rates so that only the compensation expense related to share-based payment
arrangements that vest are included in wages and benefits. If the actual number of forfeitures
differs from those estimated by management, additional adjustments to compensation expense may be
required in future periods.
Pension and post-employment benefits
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 87, Employers Accounting for Pensions (SFAS
87), establishes standards for reporting and accounting for pension benefits provided to
employees. We have pension plans for employees located in Canada and the United Kingdom (UK).
These defined benefit plans provide benefits for participating employees based on years of service
and average compensation for a specified period before retirement. We have established June 30 as
our measurement date for these defined benefit plans. The net periodic benefit costs for these
plans are included in wages and benefits in our Consolidated Statements of Income.
The measurement of the pension benefit obligation of the plans at the acquisition date was
accounted for using the business combination provisions in SFAS 87, therefore, all previously
existing unrecognized net gain or loss, unrecognized prior service cost, or unrecognized net
obligation or net asset existing prior to the date of the acquisition was included in our
calculation of the pension benefit obligation recorded at acquisition.
In addition to these pension plans, we assumed a post-employment medical plan for Acquired HR
Business employees and retirees in Canada. The amount of health care benefits is limited to
lifetime maximum and age limitations as described in the plan.
In December 2005, we adopted a pension plan for the U.S. employees of Buck Consultants, LLC, a
wholly owned subsidiary, which was acquired in connection with the Acquired HR Business. The U.S.
pension plan is a funded plan. We have established June 30 as
our measurement date for this plan. The plan recognizes service for eligible employees from May 26,
2005, the date of the acquisition
53
of the Acquired HR Business. We recorded prepaid pension costs
and projected benefit obligation related to this prior service which will be amortized over
approximately 9.3 years and included in the net periodic benefit costs which is included in wages
and benefits in our Consolidated Statements of Income. The plan is unfunded as of September 30,
2006.
A small group of employees located in Germany participate in a pension plan. This plan is not
material to our results of operations or financial position and is not included in the disclosures
below. A group of employees acquired with Transport Revenue participate in a multi-employer
pension plan in Switzerland. Contributions to the plan are not considered material to our
Consolidated Statements of Income.

benefit obligation:

We estimate the long-term rate of return on UK and Canadian and U.S. plan assets will be 7% and
7.5%, respectively, based on the long-term target asset allocation. As of September 30, 2006, the
U.S. plan was not funded. We expect to fund the U.S. plan in fiscal year 2007 upon adoption of
investment policies for the plan. Expected returns for the following asset classes used in the
plans are based on a combination of long-term historical returns and current and expected market
conditions.
54
The UK pension schemes target asset allocation is 50% equity securities, 40% debt securities and
10% in real estate. External investment managers actively manage all of the asset classes. The
target asset allocation has been set by the plans trustee board with a view to meeting the
long-term return assumed for setting the employers contributions while also reducing volatility
relative to the plans liabilities. The managers engaged by the trustees manage their assets with
a view to seeking moderate out-performance of appropriate benchmarks for each asset class. At this
time, the trustees do not engage in any alternative investment strategies, apart from UK commercial
property.
The Canadian funded plans target asset allocation is 37% Canadian provincial and corporate bonds,
33% larger capitalization Canadian stocks, 25% developed and larger capitalization Global ex Canada
stocks (mainly U.S. and international stocks) and 5% cash and cash equivalents. A single
investment manager actively manages all of the asset classes. This manager uses an equal blend of
large cap value and large cap growth for stocks in order to participate in the returns generated by
stocks in the long-term, while reducing year-over-year volatility. The bonds are managed using a
core approach where multiple strategies are engaged such as interest rate anticipation, credit
selection and yield curve positioning to mitigate overall risk. At this time, the manager does not
engage in any alternative investment strategies.
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 106, Employers Accounting for Postretirement
Benefits Other Than Pensions (SFAS 106) requires the disclosure of assumed healthcare cost trend
rates for next year used to measure the expected cost of benefits covered. For measurement
purposes, an 8.3% composite annual rate of increase in the per capita costs of covered healthcare
benefits was assumed for fiscal years 2007; this rate was assumed to decrease gradually to 4.5% by
2013 and remain at that level thereafter. The healthcare cost trend rate assumption may have a
significant effect on the SFAS 106 projections. The table below illustrates the effect of
increasing or decreasing the assumed healthcare cost trend rates by one percentage point for each
future year (in thousands):

Allowance for doubtful accounts
We make estimates of the collectibility of our accounts receivable. We specifically analyze
accounts receivable and historical bad debts, customer credit-worthiness, current economic trends,
and changes in our customer payment terms and collection trends when evaluating the adequacy of our
allowance for doubtful accounts. Any change in the assumptions used in analyzing a specific account
receivable may result in additional allowance for doubtful accounts being recognized in the period
in which the change occurs.
Income taxes
The determination of our provision for income taxes requires significant judgment, the use of
estimates, and the interpretation and application of complex tax laws. Significant judgment is
required in assessing the timing and amounts of deductible and taxable items. We establish
reserves when, despite our belief that our tax return positions are fully supportable, we believe
that certain positions may be challenged and that we may not succeed. Our provision for income
taxes includes the impact of these reserve changes. We adjust these reserves in light of changing
facts and circumstances. In the event that there is a significant unusual or one-time item
recognized in our operating results, the taxes attributable to that item would be separately
calculated and recorded at the same time as the unusual or one-time item.
Deferred income taxes are determined based on the difference between financial statement and tax
bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the years in which such
differences are expected to reverse. We routinely evaluate all deferred tax assets to determine
the likelihood of their realization.
NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 158, Employers Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other
Postretirement Plans (SFAS 158), SFAS 158 amends SFAS 87, Employers Accounting for Pensions,
SFAS 88, Employers Accounting for Settlements and Curtailments of Defined Benefit Pension Plans
and for Termination Benefits, SFAS 106, Employers Accounting for Postretirement Benefits Other
Than Pensions, and SFAS 132 (revised 2003), Employers Disclosures about Pensions and Other
Postretirement Benefits. SFAS No. 158 requires employers to recognize in its statement of
financial position an asset for a plans overfunded status or a liability for a plans underfunded
status. Secondly, it requires employers to measure the plans assets and obligations that determine
its funded status as of the end of the fiscal year. Lastly, employers are required to recognize
changes in the funded status of a defined benefit
postretirement plan in the year that the changes occur with the changes reported in comprehensive
income. SFAS 158 is required to
55
be adopted by entities with fiscal years ending after December 15,
2006. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material impact on our financial
condition, results of operation or liquidity.
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157 Fair Value Measurements (SFAS 157). SFAS 157
defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with U.S. GAAP,
and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. The statement clarifies that the exchange
price is the price in an orderly transaction between market participants to sell an asset or
transfer a liability at the measurement date. The statement emphasizes that fair value is a
market-based measurement and not an entity-specific measurement. It also establishes a fair value
hierarchy used in fair value measurements and expands the required disclosures of assets and
liabilities measured at fair value. SFAS 157 is effective for financial statements issued for
fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The adoption of this standard is not expected to
have a material impact on our financial condition, results of operation or liquidity.
In September 2006, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) released SEC Staff Accounting
Bulletin No. 108, Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying
Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements, (SAB 108), which addresses how uncorrected
errors in previous years should be considered when quantifying errors in current-year financial
statements. SAB 108 requires registrants to consider the effect of all carry over and reversing
effects of prior-year misstatements when quantifying errors in current-year financial statements.
SAB 108 does not change the SEC staffs previous guidance on evaluating the materiality of errors.
It allows registrants to record the effects of adopting SAB 108 guidance as a cumulative-effect
adjustment to retained earnings. This adjustment must be reported in the annual financial
statements of the first fiscal year ending after November 15, 2006. The adoption of this standard
is not expected to have a material impact on our financial condition, results of operation or
liquidity.
In July 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 48 (FIN 48), Accounting for Uncertainty in
Income Taxesan interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109, which prescribes comprehensive guidelines
for recognizing, measuring, presenting and disclosing in the financial statements tax positions
taken or expected to be taken on tax returns. FIN 48, effective for fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 2006, seeks to reduce the diversity in practice associated with certain aspects of the
recognition and measurement related to accounting for income taxes. We are currently assessing the
impact of FIN 48 on our consolidated financial position and results of operations.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
We are exposed to market risk from changes in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates.
As of September 30, 2006, there have been no material changes in our market risk from June 30,
2006. For further information regarding our market risk, refer to our Annual Report on Form 10-K
for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2006.
56
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Managements Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management, with the participation of our current principal executive officer and current
principal financial officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and
procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) as of September
30, 2006. In making this evaluation, our management considered the material weaknesses described
in Item 9A. of our 2006 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to
be disclosed is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in
the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission and that such information is
accumulated and communicated to management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief
Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based
on this evaluation our management, including our current Chief Executive Officer and current Chief
Financial Officer, has concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as
of September 30, 2006.
A material weakness is a control deficiency, or combination of control deficiencies, that results
in more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial
statements will not be prevented or detected. As more fully described in Managements Report on
Internal Control Over Financial Reporting in Item 9A of
our 2006 Annual Report on Form 10-K, management
identified the following material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting as of
June 30, 2006, which also existed as of September 30, 2006:
We did not maintain: (1) an effective control environment
and (2) effective controls over completeness, valuation, presentation
and disclosure of stock-based compensation expense, based on criteria established in Internal
Control Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of
Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.
Not withstanding these material weaknesses, our current management has concluded that our
consolidated financial statements for the periods covered by and included in this Quarterly Report
on Form 10-Q are prepared in accordance with GAAP and fairly presents, in all material respects,
our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There have not been any changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in
Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) during the quarter ended
September 30, 2006 that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect our
internal control over financial reporting.
57
PART II
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
Information regarding legal proceedings is incorporated by reference from Note 13 to our
consolidated financial statements set forth in Part I of this report.
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
As of the date of filing of this report, there had not been any material changes to the information
related to the Item IA. Risk Factors disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the
SEC on January 23, 2007.
ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS
Repurchase activity for the quarter ended September 30, 2006 on our June 2006 and August 2006 share
repurchase plans is reflected in the table below. There were no repurchases on our August 2006
share repurchase plan during the quarter ended September 30, 2006 and therefore our remaining
availability under this plan is $1 billion. Please refer to Liquidity and Capital Resources
Share Repurchase Programs in Part I, Item 2, Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations for a discussion of our share repurchase programs.

ITEM 3. DEFAULTS UPON SENIOR SECURITIES
On July 6, 2006, we amended our secured term loan facility (Term Loan Facility) under our Credit
Agreement dated March 20, 2006 (Credit Facility) and borrowed an additional $500 million on July
6, 2006 and an additional $500 million on August 1, 2006. As a result of the increase to the
facility, the Applicable Margin, as defined in the Credit Facility, increased to LIBOR plus 200
basis points. We used the proceeds of the Term Loan Facility increase to finance the purchase of
shares of our Class A common stock under our June 2006
authorization and for the payment of transaction costs, fees and expenses
related to the increase in the Term Loan Facility.
Following the Tender Offer, our credit ratings were downgraded by Moodys and Standard and Poors,
both to below investment grade. Standard & Poors further downgraded us to BB upon our
announcement in June 2006 of the approval by our Board of Directors of a new $1 billion share
repurchase plan. Fitch initiated its coverage of us in August 2006 at a rating of BB, except for
our Senior Notes which were rated BB-. Standard & Poors downgraded our credit rating further, to
B+, following our announcement on September 28, 2006 that we would not be able to file our Annual
Report on Form 10-K for the period ending June 30, 2006 by the September 28, 2006 extended
deadline.
On September 26, 2006, we received an amendment, consent and waiver from the lenders under our
Credit Facility with respect to, among other provisions, waiver of any default
or event of default arising under the Credit Facility as a result of our failure to comply with
certain reporting covenants relating to other indebtedness, including covenants purportedly
requiring the filing of reports with either the SEC or the holders of such indebtedness, so long as
those requirements are complied with by December 31, 2006. As consideration for this amendment,
consent and waiver, we paid a fee of $2.6 million.
58
On December 21, 2006, we received an amendment, consent and waiver from lenders under our Credit
Facility. The amendment, consent and waiver includes the following provisions, among others:
|
(1) |
|
Consent to the delivery, on or prior to February 14, 2007,
of (i) the financial statements, accountants report and
compliance certificate for the fiscal year ended June 30,
2006 and (ii) financial statements and related compliance
certificates for the fiscal quarters ended June 30, 2006
and September 30, 2006, and waiver of any default arising
from the failure to deliver any such financial statements,
reports or certificates within the applicable time period
provided for in the Credit Agreement, provided that any
such failure to deliver resulted directly or indirectly
from the previously announced investigation of the
Companys historical stock option grant practices (the
Options Matter). |
|
|
(2) |
|
Waiver of any default or event of default arising from the
incorrectness of representations and warranties made or
deemed to have been made with respect to certain financial
statements previously delivered to the Agent as a result of
any restatement, adjustment or other modification of such
financial statements resulting directly or indirectly from
the Options Matter. |
|
|
(3) |
|
Waiver of any default or event of default which may arise
from the Companys or its subsidiaries failure to comply
with reporting covenants under other indebtedness that are
similar to those in the Credit Agreement (including any
covenant to file any report with the Securities and
Exchange Commission or to furnish such reports to the
holders of such indebtedness), provided such reporting
covenants are complied with on or prior to February 14,
2007. |
|
|
(4) |
|
Amendments to provisions relating to the permitted uses of
the proceeds of revolving loans under the Credit Agreement
that (i) increase to $500 million from $350 million the
aggregate principal amount of revolving loans that may be
outstanding, the proceeds of which may be used to satisfy
the obligations under the Companys 4.70% Senior Notes due
2010 or 5.20% Senior Notes due 2015 and (ii) until June 30,
2007, decrease to $200 million from $300 million the
minimum liquidity (i.e., the aggregate amount of the
Companys unrestricted cash in excess of $50 million and
availability under the Credit Agreements revolving
facility) required after giving effect to such use of
proceeds. |
As consideration for this amendment, waiver and consent, we paid a fee of $1.3 million.
Senior Notes
On September 22, 2006, we received a letter from CEDE & Co. (CEDE) sent on behalf of certain
holders of our 5.20% Senior Notes due 2015 (the 5.20% Senior Notes) issued by us under that
certain Indenture dated June 6, 2005 (the Indenture) between us and The Bank of New York Trust
Company, N.A. (the Trustee) advising us that we were in default of our covenants under the
Indenture. The letter alleged that our failure to timely file our Annual Report on Form 10-K for
the period ending June 30, 2006 by September 13, 2006, was a default under the terms of the
Indenture. On September 29, 2006, we received a letter from CEDE sent on behalf of the same persons
declaring an acceleration with respect to the 5.20% Senior Notes, as a result of our failure to
remedy the default set forth in the September 22 letter related to our failure to timely file our
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the period ended June 30, 2006. The September 29 letter declared
that the principal amount and premium, if any, and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the
5.20% Senior Notes were due and payable immediately, and demanded payment of all amounts owed in
respect of the 5.20% Senior Notes.
On September 29, 2006 we received a letter from the Trustee with respect to the 5.20% Senior Notes.
The letter alleged that we were in default of our covenants under the Indenture with respect to the
5.20% Senior Notes, as the result of our failure to timely file our Annual Report on Form 10-K for
the period ending June 30, 2006 on or before September 28, 2006. On October 6, 2006, we received a
letter from the Trustee declaring an acceleration with respect to the 5.20% Senior Notes as a
result of our failure to timely file our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the period ending June 30,
2006 on or before September 28, 2006. The October 6, 2006 letter declared the principal amount and
premium, if any, and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the 5.20% Senior Notes to be due and
payable immediately, and demanded payment of all amounts owed in respect of the 5.20% Senior Notes.
In addition, our 4.70% Senior Notes due 2010 (the 4.70% Senior Notes) were also issued under the
Indenture and have identical default and acceleration provisions as the 5.20% Senior Notes. On
October 9, 2006, we received letters from certain holders of the 4.70% Senior Notes issued
by us under the Indenture, advising us that we were in default of our covenants under the
Indenture. The letters alleged that our failure to timely file our Annual Report on Form 10-K for
the period ending June 30, 2006 by September 13, 2006, was a default under the terms of the
Indenture. On November 9, 10 and 16, 2006, we received letters from CEDE sent on behalf of certain
holders of our 4.70% Senior Notes, declaring an acceleration of the 4.70% Senior Notes as the
result of our failure to timely file our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the period ending June 30,
2006. The November 9, 10 and 16, 2006 letters declared the
principal amount and premium, if any, and, accrued and unpaid
interest, if any, on the 4.70% Senior Notes to be due and payable immediately, and
demanded payment of all amounts owed under the 4.70% Senior Notes.
It is our position that no default has occurred under the Indenture and that no acceleration has
occurred with respect to the 5.20% Senior Notes or the 4.70% Senior Notes (collectively, the
Senior Notes) or otherwise under the Indenture. Further we have filed a
59
lawsuit against the
Trustee in the United States District Court, Northern District of Texas, Dallas Division, seeking a
declaratory judgment affirming our position. On January 8, 2007, the Court entered an order
substituting Wilmington Trust Company for the Bank of New York. On January 16, 2007, Wilmington
Trust Company filed an answer and counterclaim. The counterclaim seeks immediate payment of all
principal and accrued and unpaid interest on the Senior Notes. Alternatively, the counterclaim
seeks damages measured by the difference between the fair market value of the Senior Notes on or
about September 22, 2006 and par value of the Senior Notes.
Unless and until there is a final judgment rendered in the lawsuit described above (including any
appellate proceedings), no legally enforceable determination can be made as to whether the failure
to timely file our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the period ending June 30, 2006 is a default
under the Indenture as alleged by the letters referenced above. If there is a final legally
enforceable determination that the failure to timely file our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the
period ending June 30, 2006 is a default under the Indenture, and that acceleration with respect to
the Senior Notes was proper, the principal and premium, if any, and all accrued and unpaid
interest, if any, on the Senior Notes would be immediately due and payable.
In the event the claim of default against us made by certain holders of the Senior Notes is upheld
in a court of law and we are required to payoff the Senior Notes, it
is most likely that we would utilize the Credit Facility to fund such payoff. Under the terms of the Credit
Facility, we can utilize borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility,
subject to certain liquidity requirements, or may seek additional commitments for funding under the
Term Loan Facility of the Credit Facility. We estimate we
have sufficient liquidity to meet both the needs of our operations and any potential payoff of the
Senior Notes. While we do have availability under our Credit Facility
to draw funds to repay the
Senior Notes, there may be a decrease in our credit availability that could otherwise be used for
other corporate purposes, such as acquisitions and share repurchases.
If our Senior Notes are refinanced or the determination is made that the outstanding balance is due
to the noteholders, the remaining unrealized loss on forward interest rate agreements reported in
other comprehensive income of $15.7 million ($9.8 million, net of income tax), unamortized deferred
financing costs of $3 million ($1.9 million, net of income tax) and unamortized discount of $0.6
million ($0.4 million, net of income tax) associated with our Senior Notes as of September 30, 2006
may be adjusted and reported as interest expense in our Consolidated Statement of Income in the
period of refinancing or demand.
On December 19, 2006, we entered into an Instrument of Resignation, Appointment and Acceptance with
The Bank of New York Trust Company, N.A. and Wilmington Trust Company, whereby The Bank of New York
Trust Company, N.A. resigned as trustee, as well as other offices or agencies, with respect to the
Senior Notes, and was replaced by Wilmington Trust Company.
