EXPLANATORY NOTE
As a result of significant delays in completing our consolidated financial statements for the
year ended December 31, 2006 (fiscal 2006), we were unable to timely file with the Securities and
Exchange Commission (the SEC) our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December
31, 2006 (the 2006 Form 10-K), this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31,
2006 and our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended June 30, 2006 and September 30,
2006. In addition, we were unable to timely file with the SEC our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q
for the quarter ended March 31, 2007.
We
filed the 2006 Form 10-K on June 28, 2007. Due to the delay in the filing of this

BEARINGPOINT INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(in thousands, except share and per share amounts)
(unaudited)
Note 1. Basis of Presentation and Liquidity
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited interim Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements of
BearingPoint, Inc. (the Company) have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the
SEC for Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q. These statements do not include all of the information and
Note disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America, and should be read in conjunction with our Consolidated Financial Statements and notes
thereto for the year ended December 31, 2006, included in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K
and filed with the SEC on June 28, 2007 (the 2006 Form 10-K). The accompanying Consolidated
Condensed Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America and reflect adjustments (consisting solely of
normal, recurring adjustments, except as noted below) which are, in the opinion of management,
necessary for a fair presentation of results for these interim periods. The results of operations
for the three months ended March 31, 2006 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be
expected for any other interim period or the entire fiscal year.
The interim Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements reflect the operations of the Company
and all of its majority-owned subsidiaries. Upon consolidation, all significant intercompany
accounts and transactions are eliminated. Certain of the Companys consolidated foreign
subsidiaries reported their results on a one-month reporting lag, which allowed additional time to
compile results.
During 2005, the Company identified certain errors in its previously reported financial
statements. Because these changes are not material to the Companys financial statements for the
periods prior to 2005 or to 2005 taken as a whole, the Company corrected these errors in the first
quarter of 2005. These adjustments included entries to correct errors in accounting for revenue,
certain foreign tax withholdings, income taxes, and other miscellaneous items. Had these errors
been recorded in the proper periods, the impact of the adjustments on the first quarter of 2005
would have been an increase to revenue and gross profit of $726 and $4,927, respectively, and a
decrease to net loss of $15,445.
Liquidity
The interim Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements of the Company are prepared on a going
concern basis, which assumes that the Company will continue its operations for the foreseeable
future and will realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the ordinary course of
business. The Company has recently experienced a number of factors that have negatively impacted
its liquidity, including the following:
|
|
|
The Company has experienced significant recurring net losses. At March 31, 2006, the
Company had an accumulated deficit of $1,556,912 and a total stockholders deficit of
$98,235. |
|
|
|
|
The Companys business has not generated positive cash from operating activities in
certain quarters during fiscal years 2006 and 2005. |
|
|
|
|
Due to the material weaknesses in its internal controls, the Company continues to
experience significant delays in completing its consolidated financial statements and
filing periodic reports with the SEC on a timely basis. Accordingly, the Company continues
to devote substantial additional internal and external resources, and experience higher
than expected fees for audit services. |

|
|
Through December 31, 2006, the Company incurred cumulative losses of $139,882 under a
significant contract and a final settlement in 2007 with Hawaiian Telcom Communications,
Inc. (HT), which consequently resulted in significantly less cash from operating
activities in 2006 and, management believes, 2007. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The Company currently is a party to a number of disputes that
involve or may involve litigation or other legal or regulatory
proceedings. See Note 9, Commitments and Contingencies. |
During 2006 and into 2007, the Company engaged in a number of activities intended to further
improve its cash balances and their accessibility. The Companys continued focus during 2006 on
reducing days sales outstanding (DSOs) and improving
profitability has improved cash flows from
operations. In addition, as discussed in Note 3, Notes Payable, during May 2007, the Company
entered into the 2007 Credit Facility, as defined herein, which includes term loans in the
aggregate principal amount of $250,000. In June 2007, the 2007 Credit Facility was
amended to, among other things, increase the aggregate principal amount under the term loans by
$50,000. All term loans have been drawn down. Management believes the terms of these term loans
have been structured to eliminate the risk of any event of default occurring with respect to the
production of financial statements or SEC periodic reports prior to October 2008.
Based on the foregoing and its current state of knowledge of the outlook for its business, the
Company currently believes that cash provided from operations, existing cash balances and
borrowings under its 2007 Credit Facility will be sufficient to meet its working capital needs
through the end of 2007. The Companys management may seek
alternative strategies, intended to further improve the
Companys cash balances and their accessibility, if current
estimates for cash uses for 2007 prove incorrect. These activities
include: initiating further cost reduction efforts, seeking
improvements in working capital management, reducing or delaying
capital expenditures, seeking additional debt or equity capital and
selling assets. However, actual results may
differ from current expectations for many reasons, including losses of business that could result
from the Companys continuing failure to timely file periodic reports with the SEC, the occurrence
of any event of default that could provide the Companys lenders with a right of acceleration
(e.g., non-payment), possible delisting from the New York Stock Exchange, further downgrades of its
credit ratings or unexpected demands on its current cash resources
(e.g., to settle lawsuits).
Note 2. Stock-Based Compensation and Employee Stock Purchase Plan
Long-Term Incentive Plan
The Company is authorized to grant stock options and other awards to its employees and
directors under its 2000 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the LTIP). On December 14, 2006, the Company
amended its LTIP which included the elimination of the formula used to determine the number of
shares available for issuance under the LTIP. Previously, the number of shares of common stock
authorized for issuance under the LTIP was determined by a formula equal to the greater of (i)
35,084,158 shares of common stock and (ii) 25% of the sum of (x) the number of issued and
outstanding shares of the Companys common stock and (y) the authorized shares. The amendment to
the LTIP eliminated this formulaic determination of the number of shares of common stock authorized
for issuance under the LTIP and replaced this formula with the specified number of authorized
shares of 92,179,333, an aggregate increase of 25 million shares available for awards under the
LTIP.
Stock options are granted with an exercise price equal to the common stocks fair market value
at the date of grant. Generally, stock options granted have 10-year contractual terms and vest over
three to four years from the date of grant. Stock-based awards, including shares of restricted
stock, restricted stock units (RSUs) and performance share units (PSUs), may be issued under
the LTIP for consideration as determined by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors
and will be settled with the existing authorized share base. As of March 31, 2006, the Company had
stock options, restricted stock awards and RSUs outstanding.
Activity for stock awards and options granted under the LTIP during the quarter ended
March 31, 2006 was as follows:

The Company adopted the modified prospective transition method permitted under Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123(R), Share-Based Payment (SFAS
123(R)), and consequently has not adjusted results from prior years. Under the modified
prospective transition method, compensation costs associated with awards for the three months ended
March 31, 2006 now include the expense relating to the remaining unvested awards granted prior to
December 31, 2005 and the expense relating to any awards issued subsequent to December 31, 2005.
For grants which vest based on certain specified performance criteria, the grant date fair value of
the shares is recognized over the requisite period of performance once achievement of criteria is
deemed probable. For grants that vest through the passage of time, the grant date fair value of the
award is recognized over the vesting period. The amount of stock-based compensation recognized
during the period is based on the value of the portion of the award that is ultimately expected to
vest. SFAS 123(R) requires forfeitures to be estimated at the time of grant and revised, if
necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. The pre-tax
effect of the change in accounting associated with the adoption of SFAS 123(R) was $8,097 for the
three months ended March 31, 2006 and the application of a forfeiture rate to compensation expense
recognized in prior years was not considered significant for disclosure. The Consolidated
Condensed Statements of Operations for the quarter ended March 31, 2006 include stock-based
compensation expense of $9,984 related to stock option awards, restricted stock awards, RSUs, and
the Companys Employee Stock Purchase Plan (ESPP) and BE an Owner programs.
The Company elected the alternative transition method as outlined in Financial Accounting
Standards Board (FASB) Staff Position 123(R)-3, Transition Election Related to Accounting for
the Tax Effects of Share-Based Payment Awards, to calculate the pool of excess tax benefits
available to absorb tax deficiencies recognized subsequent to the adoption of SFAS 123(R). There
was no impact to the windfall tax benefit in 2006, as the Company was
in a net operating loss
carryforward position.
The after-tax stock-based compensation impact of adopting SFAS 123(R) for the quarter ended
March 31, 2006 was $7,796 and a $0.04 per share reduction to earnings per share. Prior to the
adoption of SFAS 123(R), the Company used the intrinsic value method of accounting prescribed by
Accounting Principles Board Opinion (APB) No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees
(APB 25), and related interpretations, including FASB Interpretation (FIN) No. 44, Accounting
for Certain Transactions Involving Stock Compensation, for its plans. Under this accounting
method, stock-option awards that are granted with the exercise price at the current fair value of
the Companys common stock as of the date of the award generally did not require compensation
expense to be recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
As of March 31, 2006, unrecognized compensation costs and related weighted-average lives over
which the costs will be amortized were as follows:

Certain of the Companys stock-based compensation awards continue to vest and do not
accelerate vesting upon retirement, or at the attainment of retirement eligibility, therefore, the
requisite service period subsequent to attaining such eligibility is considered non-substantive.
With the adoption of SFAS 123(R), the Company recognizes compensation expense related to
stock-based awards issued on or after January 1, 2006 over the shorter of the requisite service
period or the period to attainment of retirement eligibility. Certain
awards granted to retirement-eligible
employees prior to January 1, 2006 have not been accelerated and will continue to be amortized over
their original vesting periods, until employment with the Company has terminated, at which point
the compensation expense associated with any remaining unvested awards will be recognized. Had the
Company adopted the retirement eligibility provisions of SFAS 123(R) to awards granted prior to
January 1, 2006, the cumulative impact of the change in accounting would have been a reduction to
expense of $876 and $1,311 in the three months ended March 31, 2006 and 2005 (pro forma),
respectively.
The fair value of each option award was estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes
option pricing model. The
Company determined the expected volatility of the options based on a blended average of the
Companys historical volatility and the volatility from its peer group, due to the limited trading
experience of the Company and its current filing status. For 2006 awards, the expected life was
approximated by averaging the vesting term and the contractual term in accordance with the
simplified method described in Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 107, Share-Based Payment.
The risk-free interest rate is the yield currently available on U.S. Treasury zero-coupon issues
with a remaining term approximating the expected term used as the input to the Black-Scholes model.

periods, is as follows:

risk-free interest rates ranging from 1.03% to 3.29%, an expected life ranging from 6 to 24 months
and an expected dividend yield of zero. For the three months ended March 31, 2006 and 2005, the

The aggregate intrinsic values for stock options
outstanding, exercisable and vested or expected to vest as of March 31, 2006 of
$9,266, $4,504 and $8,551, respectively, represent the total pre-tax intrinsic
values based upon our closing stock price of $8.49 as of March 31, 2006 which
would have been received by the option holders had all the in-the-money options
been exercised as of that date. |
Options exercisable at March 31, 2006 had a weighted average remaining contractual life of 6.3
years.
Options exercisable at March 31, 2005 were 30,355,797, with a weighted average exercise price
of $13.93.
The aggregate intrinsic value for stock options exercised during the three months ended March
31, 2006 and 2005 was $0 and $178, respectively. The cash received in association with these
exercises was $0 and $985, respectively. No stock options were exercised in the first quarter of 2006.
On December 13, 2005, the Company accelerated the vesting of certain unvested and
out-of-the-money stock options with exercise prices equal to or greater than $9.57 per share
previously awarded to its employees (excluding executive officers and directors) under the LTIP.
The acceleration of vesting was effective for stock options outstanding as of December 13, 2005.
Options to purchase approximately 2.9 million shares of common stock, or approximately 21% of the
Companys outstanding unvested options, were subject to the acceleration. The weighted average
exercise price of the options subject to the acceleration was $10.39, and the exercise price of
these options ranged from $9.58 to $21.17 per share, with approximately 93.7% and 99.9% of such
options scheduled to vest in 2006 and 2007, respectively. The purpose of the acceleration was to
enable the Company to avoid recognizing compensation expense associated with these options in
future periods in its Consolidated Statements of Operations, upon adoption of SFAS 123(R). The
Company believes that because the accelerated options had exercise prices in excess of the current
market value of the Companys common stock, the options had limited economic value and were not
achieving their original objective of incentive compensation and employee retention.
Total compensation expense recorded in the first quarter of 2006 for stock options was $6,469.
Restricted Stock Units
On March 25, 2005, the Compensation Committee of the Companys Board of Directors approved the
issuance of up to an aggregate of $165,000 in RSUs under the LTIP to the Companys current managing
directors (MDs) and a limited number of key employees, and delegated to the Companys officers
the authority to grant these awards. The following table summarizes the RSU activity under this
authorization during the first quarter of 2006:

RSUs granted during the three months ended March 31, 2006 generally either: (i) cliff vest and
settle three years from the grant date; or (ii) vest and settle over two to four years from the
date of grant. Certain of these RSU awards have performance-based vesting criteria, for which the
Company has determined achievement to be probable. The total fair value of RSUs that vested, net
of forfeitures, during the three months ended March 31, 2006 and 2005 associated with these RSU
awards was approximately $1,887 and $26, respectively.
None of the common stock equivalents underlying these RSUs are considered to be issued or
outstanding common stock, as issuance is dependant on various vesting and settlement terms as
noted above. In addition, settlement and issuance of any shares underlying these RSUs is delayed
until the Company is current with its SEC periodic filings.
As of March 31, 2006, the Company had 13,219,031 RSUs outstanding (excluding approximately
97,818 RSUs awarded to recipients in China where local laws require a cash settlement), with a
grant date weighted average fair value of $7.62.
Employee Stock Purchase Plan
The Companys ESPP was adopted on October 12, 2000 and allows eligible employees to purchase
shares of the Companys common stock at a discount, up to a
maximum of $25 at fair value, through accumulated
payroll deductions of 1% to 15% of their compensation. Under the ESPP, shares of the Companys
common stock were purchased at 85% of the lesser of the fair market value at the beginning of the
24-month offering period (the Look-Back Purchase Price), and the fair market value at the end of
each six-month purchase period ending on July 31 and January 31, respectively. In 2005, the Board
of Directors amended the ESPP to remove the 24-month Look-Back Purchase Price for all future
offering periods under the ESPP. As amended, future offering periods will be a 6-month offering
period and the purchase price for the Companys common stock will be calculated at a 15% discount
from the closing price on the last day of the 6-month offering period. The purchase price of the
Companys common stock for the purchase period in effect at the time of such amendment was
grandfathered from this change (i.e., the purchase price was the lower of the Look-Back Purchase
Price and the fair market value at the end of the purchase period) (the Grandfathered Offering
Period). On April 18, 2007, the Board of Directors amended the ESPP to eliminate the Look-Back
Purchase Price for the Grandfathered Offering Period. As amended, the purchase price for the
Grandfathered Offering Period will be 85% of the fair market value of the Companys common stock at the
end of the Grandfathered Offering Period. During the three months ended March 31, 2006 and 2005,
employees purchased a total of 0 and 2,053,154 shares for $0 and $13,769, respectively. As of March
31, 2006, 23,749,276 shares of common stock remained available for issuance under the ESPP.
Employee contributions to the ESPP held by the Company were approximately $20,454 at March 31,
2006. These amounts are included in cash and cash equivalents and are repayable on demand.
In June 2005, the Company announced that certain employees below the managing director level
were eligible to participate in its BE an Owner Program. Under this program, as amended, the
Company made a cash payment in January 2006 to each eligible employee in an amount equal to 1.5% of
that employees annual salary as of October 3, 2005 (which payment was approximately $18,456 in the
aggregate). The Company intends to make, when it has become current
in its SEC periodic filings, a special
contribution under the ESPP to each eligible employee in an amount equal to 1.5% of that employees
annual salary as of October 3, 2005 into his or her ESPP account, which contribution will be used
to purchase shares of the Companys common stock at a 15% discount.
The 15% discount offered to employees under these plans represents a cost to the Company that
must be recognized in the Consolidated Condensed Statements of Operations in accordance with SFAS
123(R). As a result compensation expense of $1,628 was recognized for the quarter ended March 31,
2006. For the quarter ended March 31, 2005, approximately $3,722 was included in the pro forma
disclosure for compensation expense under SFAS 123.

2007 Credit Facility
On May 18, 2007, the Company entered into a $400,000 senior secured credit facility, and on
June 1, 2007, the Company amended and restated the credit facility to increase the aggregate commitments
under the facility from $400,000 to $500,000 (the 2007 Credit Facility). The 2007 Credit Facility consists of
(1) term loans in an aggregate principal amount of $300,000 (the Term Loans) and (2) a letter of
credit facility in an aggregate face amount at any time outstanding not to exceed $200,000 (the LC
Facility). Interest on the Term Loans under the 2007 Credit Facility is calculated, at the
Companys option, (1) at a rate equal to 3.5% plus the London Interbank Offered Rate, or LIBOR, or
(2) at a rate equal to 2.5% plus the higher of (a) the federal funds rate plus 0.5% and (b) UBS AG,
Stamford Branchs prime commercial lending rate. As of
June 1, 2007, the Company has borrowed
$300,000 under the Term Loans, and an aggregate of approximately $89,300 of letters of credit
previously outstanding under the 2005 Credit Facility has been assumed under the LC Facility.
The Companys obligations under the 2007 Credit Facility are secured by liens and security
interests in substantially all of the Companys assets and most of its material domestic
subsidiaries, as guarantors of such obligations (including a pledge of 65% of the stock of certain
of its foreign subsidiaries), subject to certain exceptions.
The 2007 Credit Facility requires the Company to make prepayments of outstanding Term Loans
and cash collateralize outstanding Letters of Credit in an amount equal to (i) 100% of the net
proceeds received from property or asset sales (subject to exceptions), (ii) 100% of the net
proceeds received from the issuance or incurrence of additional debt (subject to exceptions), (iii)
100% of all casualty and condemnation proceeds (subject to exceptions), (iv) 50% of the net
proceeds received from the issuance of equity (subject to exceptions) and (v) for each fiscal year
ending on or after December 31, 2008 (and, at the Companys election for the second half of the
2007 fiscal year), the difference between (a) 50% of the Excess Cash Flow (as defined in the 2007
Credit Facility) and (b) any voluntary prepayment of the Term Loan or the LC Facility (as defined
in the 2007 Credit Facility) (subject to exceptions). If the Term Loan is prepaid or the LC
Facility is reduced prior to May 18, 2008 with other indebtedness or another letter of credit
facility, the Company may be required to pay a prepayment premium of 1% of the principal amount of
the Term Loan so prepaid or LC Facility so reduced if the cost of such replacement indebtedness of
letter of credit facility is lower than the cost of the 2007 Credit
Facility. In addition, the Company is required to pay $750 in principal plus
any accrued and unpaid interest at the end of each quarter,
commencing on June 29, 2007 and ending on March 31, 2012.
The 2007 Credit Facility contains affirmative and negative covenants:
|
|
|
The affirmative covenants include, among other things: the delivery of unaudited
quarterly and audited annual financial statements, all in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles, certain monthly operating metrics and budgets; compliance
with applicable laws and regulations (excluding, prior to October 31, 2008, compliance with
certain filing requirements under the securities laws); maintenance of existence and
insurance; after |

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

|
|
|
October 31, 2008, as requested by the Administrative Agent, maintenance of credit ratings;
and maintenance of books and records (subject to the material weaknesses previously
disclosed in the Companys 2005 Form 10-K). |
|
|
|
|
The negative covenants, which (subject to exceptions) restrict certain of the Companys
corporate activities, include, among other things, limitations on: disposition of assets;
mergers and acquisitions; payment of dividends; stock repurchases and redemptions;
incurrence of additional indebtedness; making of loans and investments; creation of liens;
prepayment of other indebtedness; and engaging in certain transactions with affiliates. |
Events of default under the 2007 Credit Facility include, among other things: defaults based
on nonpayment, breach of representations, warranties and covenants, cross-defaults to other debt
above $10,000, loss of lien on collateral, invalidity of certain guarantees, certain bankruptcy and
insolvency events, certain ERISA events, judgments against the Company in an aggregate amount in
excess of $20,000, and change of control events.
Under the terms of the 2007 Credit Facility, the Company is not required to become current
with its SEC periodic filings until October 31, 2008. Until October 31, 2008, the Companys failure
to provide annual audited or quarterly unaudited financial statements, to keep its books and
records in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
in the United States of America (GAAP) or to timely file its SEC periodic reports will not be considered
an event of default under the 2007 Credit Facility.
The 2007 Credit Facility replaced the Companys 2005 Credit Facility, which was terminated on
May 18, 2007. For information about the 2005 Credit Facility, see below.
Discontinued 2005 Credit Facility
On July 19, 2005, the Company entered into a $150,000 Senior Secured Credit Facility (the
2005 Credit Facility). The 2005 Credit Facility, as amended, provided for up to $150,000 in
revolving credit and advances, all of which was available for issuance of letters of credit.
Advances under the revolving credit line were limited by the available borrowing base, which was
based upon a percentage of eligible accounts receivable and unbilled receivables. The 2005 Credit
Facility was terminated on May 18, 2007. On that date, all outstanding obligations under the 2005
Credit Facility were assumed by the 2007 Credit Facility and liens and security interests under
the 2005 Credit Facility were released.
The entire $150,000 under the 2005 Credit Facility was not always available to the Company
because, among other things: (i) certain accounts receivable for government contracts could not be
included in the calculation of the borrowing base without obtaining certain consents (this
restriction was removed by amendment on March 30, 2006); and (ii) delays in the Companys ability
to provide month-end account receivables reports negatively impacted the Companys ability to
include such account receivables as part of the borrowing base, which determined the amount the
Company could borrow under the 2005 Credit Facility. Borrowings available under the 2005 Credit
Facility are used for general corporate purposes. As of March 31, 2006, the Company had
approximately $53,779 available under the borrowing base.
In addition, prior to the March 30, 2006 amendment, the Company was required to cash
collateralize 105% of its borrowings, including any outstanding letters of credit, under the 2005
Credit Facility and any accrued and unpaid interest and fees thereon. As of March 31, 2006, the
Company had no borrowings under the 2005 Credit Facility but had letters of credit outstanding of
approximately $80,132. The Company was charged an annual rate of 2.75% for the credit spread and
other fees for its outstanding letters of credit. The Company fulfilled its obligation to cash
collateralize using cash on hand. The requirement to deposit and maintain cash collateral
terminated as part of the March 30, 2006 amendment to the 2005 Credit Facility, and such cash
collateral was released to the Company.
Interest on loans (other than swingline loans) under the 2005 Credit Facility was calculated,
at the Companys option, at a rate equal to LIBOR, or, for dollar-denominated loans, at a rate
equal to the higher of the banks corporate base rate or the Federal funds rate plus 50 basis
points (Base Rate Loans). No matter which rate the Company chose, an applicable margin was added
that varied depending upon availability under the revolver and the
status of the Companys SEC periodic filings. For Base
Rate Loans and LIBOR loans, the applicable margins were 1.00% and 2.00%,
respectively, as the Company was not current in its SEC
periodic filings during the term of the
facility. As of March 31, 2006, the interest rate under the 2005 Credit Facility was 7.0%.
The 2005 Credit Facility contained financial, affirmative, and negative covenants.
|
|
|
The financial covenants included: (i) a minimum U.S. cash collections requirement, (ii)
a minimum trailing twelve-month EBITDA covenant, (iii) a maximum leverage ratio and (iv) a
maximum trailing twelve-month capital expenditures covenant. |
11
BEARINGPOINT INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
(in thousands, except share and per share amounts)
(unaudited)
The EBITDA and maximum leverage ratio was not tested for a quarterly test period if (i) at all
times during the test period that the borrowing base was less than $120,000, borrowing availability
was greater than $15,000, (ii) at all times during the test period that the borrowing base was
greater than or equal to $120,000 and less than $130,000, borrowing availability was greater than
$20,000, or (iii) at all times during the test period that the borrowing base was greater than or
equal to $130,000, borrowing availability was greater than $25,000. These ratios were never tested,
since the Company at all times maintained the minimum borrowing base.
|
|
|
The affirmative covenants included the Company becoming
current in its SEC periodic filings in
accordance to a predetermined schedule, repatriation of a $65,000 of cash from foreign
subsidiaries and the submission to its lender certain weekly and monthly reports providing
various financial information. |
|
|
|
|
The negative covenants significantly restricted the Companys corporate activities and
ability to dispose of assets without the lenders consent. |
|
|
|
|
Standard events of default for a senior secured facility were included, as well as
default for payments in respect of judgments against the Company in excess of $18,000;
termination of trading of Company stock; and certain indictments, convictions or the
commencement of criminal proceedings of or against the Company or any subsidiary. |
Upon an event of default under the 2005 Credit Facility, the lenders could require the Company
to post cash collateral in an amount equal to 105% of the principal amount of the outstanding
letters of credit or declare all borrowings outstanding under the 2005 Credit Facility, together
with accrued interest and other fees, immediately due and payable. Any default agreements governing
the Companys other significant indebtedness could lead to an acceleration of debt under the 2005
Credit Facility.
The Companys obligations under the 2005 Credit Facility were secured by liens and security
interests in substantially all of its present and future tangible and intangible assets and those
of certain of its domestic subsidiaries, as guarantors of such obligations (including 65.0% of the
stock of its foreign subsidiaries), subject to certain exceptions.
In addition, the lenders of the 2005 Credit Facility granted the Company
waivers for any default under the 2005 Credit Facility and also consented to the Companys payment of consent
fees to the holders of each series of debentures as well as increases in the interest rates payable
on all of the debentures. The Company accounted for these modifications in accordance with Emerging
Issues Task Force Issue No. 96-19, Debtors Accounting for a Modification or Exchange of Debt
Instruments (EITF 96-19). In accordance with EITF 96-19, since the change in the terms of
outstanding debentures did not result in substantially different cash flows, this change in terms
is accounted for as a modification. As such, the additional interest
payments will be expensed
over the period from November 2, 2006 through December 23, 2011 for Series A, and December 23, 2014
for Series B, and consent fees will be recognized over future periods. In addition, the Company paid approximately $1,800 in fees and expenses to third-parties
for work performed in connection with all of the modifications to the Companys outstanding
debentures, which were expensed as incurred.
Note 4. Earnings (Loss) Per Share
Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed based on the weighted average number of
common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is computed using
the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period plus the dilutive effect
of potential future issues of common stock relating to the Companys stock option program,
restricted stock units, convertible debt and other potentially dilutive securities. In calculating
diluted earnings (loss) per share, the dilutive effect of stock options is computed using the
average market price for the period in accordance with the treasury stock method. The effect of
convertible securities on the calculation of diluted net loss per share is calculated using the if
converted method. During the three months ended March 31, 2006 and 2005, 135,886,212 and
102,381,051 shares, respectively, were not included in the computation of diluted EPS because to do
so would have been anti-dilutive.

Note 6. Segment Reporting
The Companys segment information has been prepared in accordance with SFAS No. 131,
Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information. Operating segments are
defined as components of an enterprise engaging in business activities about which separate
financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the Companys chief operating
decision-maker, the Chief Executive Officer, in deciding how to allocate resources and assess
performance. The Companys reportable segments consist of its three North America industry groups
(Public Services, Financial Services and Commercial Services), its three international regions
(EMEA, Asia Pacific and Latin America) and the Corporate/Other category (which consists primarily
of infrastructure costs). Accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in
Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, of the Companys 2006 Form 10-K. Upon
consolidation, all intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated. Inter-segment revenue is
not included in the measure of profit or loss. Performance of the segments is evaluated on
operating income excluding the costs of infrastructure and shared service costs (such as
facilities, information systems, finance and accounting, human resources, legal and marketing),
which is represented by the Corporate/Other segment. Beginning in 2005, the Company combined its
Communications, Content and Utilities and Consumer, Industrial and Technology industry groups to
form the Commercial Services industry group.

The Company completed its required annual impairment test in April 2006 and determined that
the carrying value of goodwill was not impaired.
Identifiable intangible assets include finite-lived intangible assets, which primarily consist
of market rights, order backlog, customer contracts and related customer relationships.
Identifiable intangible assets are amortized using the straight-line method over their expected
period of benefit, which generally ranges from one to five years. Identifiable intangible assets
consist of the following:

Note 8. Restructuring Activities
In connection with the Companys previously announced office space reduction efforts, the

Corporate/Other operating segment, included $2,520 related to the fair value of future lease
obligations (net of estimated sublease income) and $280 in other costs associated with exiting
facilities. Since July 2003, the Company has incurred a total of $105,516 in lease and facilities
related restructuring charges in connection with its office space reduction effort relating to the
following regions: $15,223 in EMEA, $863 in Asia Pacific and $89,430 in North

America. As of March
31, 2006, the Company has a remaining lease and facilities accrual of $49,741, of which $11,949 and
$37,792 have been identified as current and non-current portions, respectively. The remaining lease
and facilities accrual will be paid over the remaining lease terms which expire in 2014.

Note 9. Commitments and Contingencies
The Company currently is a party to a number of disputes which involve or may involve
litigation or other legal or regulatory proceedings. Generally, there are three types of legal
proceedings to which the Company has been made a party:
|
|
|
Claims and investigations arising from its continuing inability to timely file periodic
reports under the Exchange Act (the Exchange Act), and the restatement of its financial
statements for certain prior periods to correct accounting errors and departures from
generally accepted accounting principles for those years (SEC Reporting Matters); |
|
|
|
|
Claims and investigations being conducted by agencies or officers of the U.S. Federal
government and arising in connection with its provision of services under contracts with
agencies of the U.S. Federal government (Government Contracting Matters); and |
|
|
|
|
Claims made in the ordinary course of business by clients seeking damages for alleged
breaches of contract or failure of performance, by current or former employees seeking
damages for alleged acts of wrongful termination or discrimination, and by creditors or
other vendors alleging defaults in payment or performance (Other Matters). |
The Company currently maintains insurance in types and amounts customary in its industry,
including coverage for professional liability, general liability and management and director
liability. Based on managements current assessment and insurance coverages believed to be
available, the Company believes that its financial statements include adequate provision for
estimated losses that are likely to be incurred with regard to all matters of the types described
above.
SEC Reporting Matters
2005 Class Action Suits
In and after April 2005, various separate complaints were filed in the U.S. District
Court for the Eastern District of Virginia alleging that the Company and certain of its current and
former officers and directors violated Section 10(b) of the Exchange Act, Rule 10b-5 promulgated
thereunder and Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act by, among other things, making materially
misleading statements between August 14, 2003 and April 20, 2005 with respect to its financial
results in the Companys SEC periodic filings and press releases. On January 17, 2006, the court certified a
class, appointed class counsel and appointed a class representative. The plaintiffs filed an
amended complaint on March 10, 2006 and the defendants, including the Company, subsequently filed a
motion to dismiss that complaint, which was fully briefed and heard on May 5, 2006. The Company
was awaiting a ruling when, on March 23, 2007, the court stayed the case, pending the U.S. Supreme
Courts
15
BEARINGPOINT INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
(in thousands, except share and per share amounts)
(unaudited)
decision in the case of Makor Issues & Rights, Ltd v. Tellabs, argued before the Supreme
Court on March 28, 2007. On June 21, 2007, the Supreme
Court issued its opinion in the Tellabs case, holding that to plead a strong inference of a defendants fraudulent intent under the applicable federal securities laws, a plaintiff must demonstrate that such an inference is not merely reasonable, but cogent and at least as compelling as any opposing inference of non-fraudulent intent. The Supreme Court decision is expected to significantly inform the
courts decision regarding the complaint and the Companys
motion to dismiss the complaint. It is not possible to predict with
certainty whether or not the Company will ultimately be successful in
this matter or, if not, what the impact might be. Accordingly, no
liability has been recorded.
2005 Shareholders Derivative Demand
On May 21, 2005, the Company received a letter from counsel representing one of its
shareholders requesting that the Company initiate a lawsuit against its Board of Directors and
certain present and former officers of the Company, alleging breaches of the officers and
directors duties of care and loyalty to the Company relating to the events disclosed in its report
filed on Form 8-K, dated April 20, 2005. On January 21, 2006, the shareholder filed a derivative
complaint in the Circuit Court of Fairfax County, Virginia, that was not served on the Company
until March 2006. The shareholders complaint alleged that his demand was not acted upon and
alleged the breach of fiduciary duty claims previously stated in his demand. The complaint also
included a non-derivative claim seeking the scheduling of an annual meeting in 2006. On May 18,
2006, following an extensive audit committee investigation, the Companys Board of Directors
responded to the shareholders demand by declining at that time to file a suit alleging the claims
asserted in the shareholders demand. The shareholder did not amend the complaint to reflect the
refusal of his demand. The Company filed demurrers on August 11, 2006, which effectively sought to
dismiss the matter related to the fiduciary duty claims. On November 3, 2006, the court granted the
demurrers and dismissed the fiduciary claims, with leave to file amended claims. As a result of the
Companys annual meeting of stockholders held on December 14, 2006, the claim seeking the
scheduling of an annual meeting became moot. On January 3, 2007, the plaintiff filed an amended
derivative complaint re-asserting the previously dismissed derivative claims and alleging that the
Boards refusal of his demand was not in good faith. The Companys renewed motion to dismiss all
remaining claims was heard on March 23, 2007 and no ruling has yet been entered.
Series B Debenture Suit
On
September 8, 2005, certain holders of the 2.75% Series B
Convertible Subordinated Debentures (the Series B
Debentures) provided a purported
Notice of Default to the Company based upon its failure to timely file certain of its SEC periodic
reports due in 2005. Thereafter, these holders asserted that as a result, the principal amount of
the Series B Debentures, accrued and unpaid interest and unpaid damages were due and payable
immediately.
The indenture trustee for the Series B Debentures then brought suit against the Company and,
on September 19, 2006, the Supreme Court of New York ruled on a motion that the Company was in
default under the indenture for the Series B Debentures and ordered that the amount of damages be
determined subsequently at trial. The Company believed the ruling to be in error and on September
25, 2006, appealed the courts ruling and moved for summary judgment on the matter of determination
of damages.
After further negotiations, the Company and the relevant holders of its Series B
Debentures entered into a First Supplemental Indenture (the
First Supplemental Indenture) with The Bank of New York, as trustee, which amends the
subordinated indenture governing the 2.50% Series A Convertible
Subordinated Debentures due 2024 (the Series A
Debentures) and the Series B
Debentures. Concurrently, the Company and the relevant holders of the
Series B Debentures lawsuit agreed to discontinue the
lawsuit.
The First
Supplemental Indenture modifies the debentures to include: (i) a
waiver of the Companys SEC periodic reporting
requirements under the subordinated indenture through October 31, 2008, (ii) the interest rate
payable on all Series A Debentures increased from 3.00% per annum to 3.10% per annum until December
23, 2011, and (iii) adjustment of the interest rate payable on all Series B Debentures from 3.25%
per annum to 4.10% per annum until December 23, 2014.
In
order to address any possibility of a claim of cross-default, on November 2, 2006, the Company
entered into the First Supplemental
Indenture with The Bank of New York, as trustee, which amends the
indenture governing the 5.0% Convertible Senior Subordinated
Debentures due 2025. The supplemental indenture includes a waiver
of the Companys SEC periodic reporting requirements through October 31, 2007 and provides for further
extension through October 31, 2008 upon the payment of an additional fee of 0.25% of the principal
amount of the debentures. The Company paid to certain consenting holders of these debentures a
consent fee equal to 1.00% of the outstanding principal amount of the debentures. In addition, on
November 9, 2006, the Company entered into an agreement with the holders of the 0.50% Convertible
Senior Debentures due July 2010, pursuant to which the Company paid a consent fee equal to 1.00% of
the outstanding principal amount of the debentures, in accordance with the terms of the purchase
agreement governing the issuance of these debentures.
SEC Investigation
On April 13, 2005, pursuant to the same matter number as its inquiry concerning the Companys
restatement of certain financial statements issued in 2003, the staff of the SECs Division of
Enforcement requested information and documents
16
BEARINGPOINT INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
(in thousands, except share and per share amounts)
(unaudited)
relating to the Companys March 18, 2005 Form 8-K. On September 7, 2005, the Company announced that
the staff had issued a formal order of investigation in this matter. The Company subsequently has
received subpoenas from the staff seeking production of documents and information including certain
information and documents related to an investigation conducted by its Audit Committee. The Company
continues to provide information and documents to the SEC as requested. The investigation is
ongoing and the SEC is in the process of taking the testimony of a number of its current and former
employees, as well as one of its former directors.
In connection with the investigation by its Audit Committee, the Company became aware of
incidents of possible non-compliance with the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and its internal
controls in connection with certain of its operations in China and voluntarily reported these
matters to the SEC and U.S. Department of Justice in November 2005. Both the SEC and the Department
of Justice are investigating these matters in connection with the formal investigation described
above. On March 27, 2006, the Company received a subpoena from the SEC regarding information
related to these matters. The Company has a reasonable possibility of loss in this matter,
although no estimate of such loss can be determined at this time. Accordingly, no liability has
been recorded.
Government Contracting Matters
Government Contracts
A significant portion of the Companys business relates to providing services under contracts
with the U.S. Federal government or state and local governments, inclusive of government sponsored enterprises. These contracts are subject to
extensive legal and regulatory requirements and, from time to time, agencies of the U.S. Federal
government or state and local governments investigate whether the Companys operations are being
conducted in accordance with these requirements and the terms of the relevant contracts. In the
ordinary course of business, various government investigations are ongoing. U.S. Federal government
investigations of the Company, whether relating to these contracts or conducted for other reasons,
could result in administrative, civil or criminal liabilities, including repayments, fines or
penalties being imposed upon the Company, or could lead to suspension or debarment from future U.S.
Federal government contracting. The Company believes that it has adequately reserved for any losses
it may experience from these investigations. Whether such amounts could have a material effect on
the results of operations in a particular quarter or fiscal year cannot be determined at this time.
California Subpoena
In December 2004, the Company was served with a subpoena by the Grand Jury for the United
States District Court for the Central District of California. The subpoena sought records relating
to twelve contracts between the Company and the U.S. Federal government, including two General
Service Administration (GSA) schedules, as well as other documents and records relating to its
U.S. Federal government work. The Company has produced documents in accordance with an agreement
with the Assistant U.S. Attorney. The focus of the review is upon its billing and time/expense
practices, as well as alliance agreements where referral or commission payments were permitted. In
July 2005, the Company received a subpoena by the U.S. Army related to Department of Defense
contracts. The Company subsequently was served with subpoenas issued by the inspectors general of
the GSA and the Department of Defense. The subpoenas were largely duplicative of the grand jury
subpoena. In December 2006, the Companys counsel was informally informed by the Assistant U.S.
Attorney involved in this matter that the government has declined to pursue any criminal
proceedings arising out of this matter. The government continues to pursue the investigation on
the civil side. The Company does not believe that it is either probable that the subpoena will
result in a liability to the Company or that the amount or range of a future liability, if any, can
be determined. Accordingly, no liability has been recorded.
Travel Rebate Investigation
In December 2005, the Company executed a settlement agreement with the Civil Division of the
U.S. Department of Justice to settle allegations of potential understatement of travel credits to
government contracts. Pursuant to the settlement agreement, in December 2005, the Company paid
$15,500 in the aggregate, including related fees. The settlement payment is included as part of
selling, general and administrative expenses in the Consolidated Statement of Operations for the
year ended December 31, 2004.

Department of Interior
On September 29, 2005, the Company received a Termination for Cause notice (the Notice)
directing it to cease work on a task order (Task Order 3) being completed for the Department of
Interior (DOI). The Company complied and has properly reserved any outstanding amounts owed to it
by the DOI as of December 31, 2004. The underlying Basic Purchase Agreement was subsequently
terminated for cause as well, though the only task order that was potentially affected was Task
Order 3. In the Notice, the DOI also stated that it may seek to recover excess reprocurement costs
or pursue other legal remedies, but it has taken no action in this regard. The Company believes
that it has a strong defense of excusable delay, and believes that where there is a meritorious
case of excusable delay, terminations for cause have been overturned. The Company also believes
that if the termination for cause is removed, any potential reprocurement cost liability is also
removed. On July 28, 2006, the Company submitted a claim in the amount of approximately $20,000 to
the Government for amounts it believes are owed to it by the DOI. In January 2007, the DOIs
contracting officer denied the Companys administrative claim for the payment of its unpaid fees.
In addition, in September 2006, the Company filed a lawsuit against the DOI in the U.S. Court of
Federal Claims, seeking to overturn the termination for cause. On April 30, 2007, the U.S. Court
of Federal Claims granted the Companys motion to dismiss the lawsuit, holding that the DOIs
termination for default was procedurally invalid. The DOI may appeal this decision. The only
remaining claim in this matter is the Companys claim against the DOI for unpaid project fees, in
part for wrongful termination. The Company intends to appeal the contracting officers denial of
its claim for the payment of unpaid fees.
United States Agency for International Development Contract
On October 25, 2005, the Company received a letter from United States Agency for International
Development in which the Contracting Officer stated that she had determined to disallow
approximately $10,746 in subcontractor costs for Kroll, the Companys security subcontractor in
Iraq. The Company also received a final decision from the Contracting Officer, dated January 7,
2006, disallowing the Kroll costs. However, on July 10, 2006, based on review and analysis of
additional documentation, the Contracting Officer issued a revised final decision that allowed
$10,320 of the costs, while disallowing the remainder, which the Company substantially recovered
from Kroll.
Core Financial Logistics System
There is an ongoing investigation of the Core Financial Logistics System (CoreFLS) project
by the Inspector Generals Office of the Department of Veterans Affairs and by the Assistant U.S.
Attorney for the Central District of Florida. To date, the Company has been issued three subpoenas,
in June 2004, December 2004 and May 2006, seeking the production of documents relating to the
CoreFLS project. The Company is cooperating with the investigation
and has produced documents in
response to the subpoenas. To date, there have been no specific allegations of criminal or
fraudulent conduct on the Companys part or any contractual claims filed against it by the Veterans
Administration in connection with the project. The Company continues to believe it has complied
with all of its obligations under the CoreFLS contract. It cannot, however, predict the outcome of
the inquiry. It is not possible to predict with certainty whether or not the Company will
ultimately be successful in this matter or, if not, what the impact might be. As such, no liability
has been recorded.
General Services Administration Audit
The Office of the Inspector General of the GSA of the United States Government conducted an
audit of the Companys GSA Management, Organizational, and Business Improvement Services (MOBIS)
contract for the period beginning January 1, 2001 through December 31, 2002. The findings from this
audit report allege non-compliance, which may have resulted in overcharges to Government customers.
Specifically, the report alleges that the Company failed to report and pass on to GSA customers,
the reduction it made to its commercial labor rate (Standard Bill Rate) for Administrative Support
effective July 1, 2000. On March 6, 2007, the Contracting Officer specified a demand of $2,318
against the Company, along with certain demand for price reductions.
While the Company continues to believe that it has not overcharged the Government, the Company has entered into settlement discussions with the Government in order to mutually resolve this matter. As part of these discussions, the Company is discussing revisions to the contract with the Contracting
Officer to better align its terms, including pricing, to the expectations of both parties.
Given the current stage of discussions, the outcome cannot yet be determined and management
estimates the probable amount of loss is $1,200.

Other Matters
Peregrine Litigation
The Company was named as a defendant in several civil lawsuits regarding certain software
resale transactions with Peregrine Systems, Inc. during 1999 and 2001, in which
purchasers and other individuals who acquired Peregrine stock alleged that the Company participated
in or aided and abetted a fraudulent scheme by Peregrine to inflate
Peregrines stock price. The Company was also sued by a trustee succeeding the interests of Peregrine for the same conduct.
In December 2005, the Company executed conditional settlement agreements whereby it was released
from liability in these matters and in all claims for indemnity by KPMG, the Companys former
parent, in each of these cases. The Company issued settlement payments of approximately $36,900
with respect to these matters in September 2006. In addition, on January 5, 2006, the Company
finalized an agreement with KPMG, providing conditional mutual releases to each other from fee
advancement and indemnification claims with respect to these matters, with no settlement payment or
other exchange of monies between the parties.
The Company did not settle the In re Peregrine Systems, Inc. Securities Litigation and on
January 19, 2005, the matter was dismissed by the trial court as it relates to the Company. The
plaintiffs have appealed the dismissal and briefing of the appeal has been completed. To the
extent that any judgment is entered in favor of the plaintiffs against KPMG, KPMG has notified the
Company that it will seek indemnification for any such sums. The Company disputes KPMGs
entitlement to any such indemnification.
On November 16, 2004, Larry Rodda, a former employee, pled guilty to one count of criminal
conspiracy in connection with the Peregrine software resale transactions that continue to be the
subject of the government inquiries. Mr. Rodda also was named in a civil suit brought by the SEC.
The Company was not named in the indictment or civil suit, and are cooperating with the government
investigations.
Hawaiian Telcom Communications, Inc.
The Company had a significant contract (the HT Contract) with Hawaiian Telcom
Communications, Inc., a telecommunications industry client, under which the Company was engaged to
design, build and operate various information technology systems for the client. The Company
incurred losses of approximately $13,624 and $113,130 under this contract in the first quarters of
2006 and 2005, respectively. The HT Contract experienced delays in its build and deployment phases
and contractual milestones were missed. The client alleged that the Company was responsible to
compensate it for certain costs and other damages incurred as a result of these delays and other
alleged failures. The Company believed the clients nonperformance of its responsibilities under
the HT Contract caused delays in the project and impacted its ability to perform, thereby causing
it to incur significant damages. On February 8, 2007, the Company entered into a Settlement
Agreement and Transition Agreement with the client. Pursuant to the Settlement Agreement, the
Company paid $52,000 to the client, $38,000 of which was paid by certain of its insurers. In
addition, the Company waived approximately $29,600 of invoices and other amounts otherwise payable
by the client to the Company. The Transition Agreement governed its transitioning of the remaining
work under the HT Contract to a successor provider, which has been completed.
Telecommunications Company
A
telecommunications industry client initiated an audit of certain of the Companys time
and expense charges, alleging that the Company inappropriately billed the client for days claimed
to be non-work days, such as days before and after travel days, travel days, overtime, and other
alleged errors. A preliminary audit by the Company of the time and expense records for the project
did not reveal the improprieties as alleged. On June 18, 2007, the Company and the client entered
into a settlement resolving the clients claims. In connection
with the settlement, the Company will make six equal annual payments
to the client in an aggregate amount of $24,000, with the first
payment made on the signing date in return for a full release of the
clients claims.
Michael Donahue
In March 2005, Mr. Donahue filed suit against the Company in connection with the termination
of his employment in February 2005. Mr. Donahue alleges he is owed $3,000 under the terms and
conditions of a Special Termination Agreement he executed in November 2001, between $1,700 and
$2,400 as compensation for the value of stock options he was required to forfeit as the result of
his discharge, and an additional $200 for an unpaid bonus. Mr. Donahue has also argued that a 25%
19

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
(in thousands, except share and per share amounts)
(unaudited)
penalty pursuant to Pennsylvania law should be added to each of these sums. In May 2005, the
Company removed the matter to Federal Court. On October 5, 2005,
Mr. Donahue filed his Complaint in Federal Court, under seal. In this Complaint, in response to the Companys motion to compel
arbitration, Mr. Donahue dropped his claims for his stock options and performance bonus, although he is
free to bring those claims again at a later time. On January 31, 2006, Mr. Donahue filed his Demand
for Arbitration, asserting all the claims he originally asserted, including his claims under the
Special Termination Agreement, his claims for his stock options, and his claim for his annual bonus
payment for 2004, in addition to the statutory penalties sought for these unpaid amounts. The
parties have selected arbitrators for the panel, and discovery has commenced. It is reasonably
possible that the Company will incur a loss ranging from $0 to $7,000, with no amount within this
range a better estimate than any other amount. Accordingly, no liability has been recorded.
Canon Australia
On June 16, 2006, employees of the Australian subsidiary of Canon presented objections to the
Companys Australian Country Director related to deficiencies in the Companys work and alleged
misrepresentations by the Company in connection with an implementation of an enterprise resource
planning and customer relationship management system, which went live in January of 2005. Canon
representatives presented arguments supporting their belief that Canon has suffered damages,
including damages for lost profits and other consequential damages, as a result of the
implementation. Canon has indicated that it may proceed with a claim, although the Company has not
received any formal notice of any such claim. This matter is in its very preliminary stages. The
contract limits the damages that may be claimed against the Company to no more than approximately
$22,800. It is reasonably possible the Company will incur a loss. Due to the early stage of this
matter and the nature of the potential claims, a range of loss cannot be determined at this time.
Accordingly, no liability has been recorded.
Transition Services Provided By KPMG LLP
KPMG LLP contended that the Company owes approximately $26,214 in termination costs and
unrecovered capital for the termination of information technology services provided under the
transition services agreement. However, in accordance with the terms of the agreement, the Company
did not believe that it was liable for termination costs arising upon the expiration of the
agreement. In addition, KPMG LLP contended the Company owed an
additional $5,347 in connection with the expiration of the transition
services agreement relating to its share of occupancy related assets
in subleased offices from KPMG LLP.
In
May 2007, the Company and KPMG LLP settled its disputes under the transition services
agreement. KPMG LLP released all claims against the Company. In connection with the settlement, the Company amended certain real estate
documents relating to a number of properties that it currently sublets from KPMG LLP to either allow it
to further sublease these properties to third parties, or to return certain properties the Company
no longer utilizes to KPMG LLP, in return for a reduction of the amount of the Companys sublease
obligations to KPMG LLP for those properties. The Company also agreed to
pay $5,000 over three years to KPMG LLP as part of the settlement.
Other Commitments
In the normal course of business, the Company has indemnified third parties and has
commitments and guarantees under which it may be required to make payments in certain
circumstances. The Company accounts for these indemnities, commitments and guarantees in accordance
with FIN No. 45, Guarantors Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including
Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others. These indemnities, commitments and guarantees
include: indemnities to third parties in connection with surety bonds; indemnities to various
lessors in connection with facility leases; indemnities to customers related to intellectual
property and performance of services subcontracted to other providers; and indemnities to directors
and officers under the organizational documents and agreements of the Company. The duration of
these indemnities, commitments and guarantees varies, and in certain cases, is indefinite. Certain
of these indemnities, commitments and guarantees do not provide for any limitation of the maximum
potential future payments the
20

(unaudited)
Company could be obligated to make. The Company estimates that the fair value of these
agreements was minimal. Accordingly, no liabilities have been recorded for these agreements as of
March 31, 2006.
Some clients, largely in the state and local market, require the Company to obtain surety
bonds, letters of credit or bank guarantees for client engagements. As of March 31, 2006, the
Company had approximately $131,141 of outstanding surety bonds and $80,132 of outstanding letters
of credit for which the Company may be required to make future payment.

Note 11. Income Taxes
For the three months ended March 31, 2006, the Company recognized losses before taxes of
$59,291 and provided for income taxes of $13,422, resulting in an effective tax rate of (22.6%).
The effective tax rate varied from the U.S. Federal statutory tax rate, primarily as a result of a
change in valuation allowance, changes in income tax reserves, the mix of income attributable to
foreign versus domestic jurisdictions, state and local taxes, other items and non-deductible meals
and entertainment.
For the three months ended March 31, 2005, the Company recognized losses before taxes of
$150,845 and provided for income taxes of $81,713, resulting in an effective tax rate of (54.2%).
The effective tax rate varied from the U.S. Federal statutory tax rate, primarily as a result of a
change in valuation allowance, changes in income tax reserves, the mix of income attributable to
foreign versus domestic jurisdictions, state and local taxes, other items and non-deductible meals
and entertainment. During the three months ended March 31, 2005, the Company recorded a valuation
allowance of $57,300 primarily against its U.S. deferred tax assets to reflect the Companys
determination of the likelihood that these benefits would not be realized.
Note 12. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In June 2006, the FASB issued FIN 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes an
interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 (FIN 48). This Interpretation clarifies the accounting
for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an entitys financial statements in accordance with
SFAS No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. It prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement
attribute for financial statement disclosure of tax positions taken or expected to be taken. This

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
(in thousands, except share and per share amounts)
(unaudited)
Interpretation also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and
penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition. FIN 48 is effective for
fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. The Company will be required to adopt this
Interpretation in the first quarter of fiscal year 2007. Management is currently evaluating the
requirements of FIN 48 and has not yet determined the impact on its Consolidated Financial
Statements.
In September 2006, the SEC staff issued SAB No. 108, Considering the Effects of Prior Year
Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements (SAB 108). SAB
108 was issued in order to eliminate the diversity of practice surrounding how public companies
quantify financial statement misstatements. SAB 108 requires registrants to quantify the impact of
correcting all misstatements using both the rollover method, which focuses primarily on the
impact of a misstatement on the income statement and is the method the Company currently uses, and
the iron curtain method, which focuses primarily on the effect of correcting the period-end
balance sheet. The use of both of these methods is referred to as the dual approach and should be
combined with the evaluation of qualitative elements surrounding the errors in accordance with SAB
No. 99, Materiality. The adoption of SAB 108 during 2006 did not have a material impact on the
Companys Consolidated Financial Statements.
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
generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements.
The provisions of SFAS 157 are effective for the fiscal year beginning January 1, 2008. The
Company is currently evaluating the impact of the provisions of SFAS 157.
In
December 2006, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position
No. EITF 00-19-2, Accounting for Registration Payment
Arrangements (FSP No. EITF 00-19-2). FSP
No. EITF 00-19-2 specifies that the contingent obligation
to make future payments or otherwise transfer consideration under a
registration payment arrangement, whether issued as a separate
agreement or included as a provision of a financial instrument or
other agreement, should be separately recognized and measured in
accordance with SFAS No. 5, Accounting for
Contingencies. FSP No. EITF 00-19-2 also requires
additional disclosure regarding the nature of any registration
payment arrangements, alternative settlement methods, the maximum
potential amount of consideration and the current carrying amount of
the liability, if any. FSP No. EITF 00-19-2 shall be
effective immediately for registration payment arrangements and the
financial instruments subject to those arrangements that are entered
into or modified subsequent to the date of issuance of FSP No. EITF 00-19-2.
For registration payment arrangements and
financial instruments subject to those arrangements that were entered
into prior to the issuance of FSP No. EITF 00-19-2, this
guidance shall be effective for financial statements issued for
fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006, and interim
periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently
evaluating the impact FSP No. EITF 00-19-2 could have
on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 158, Employers Accounting for Defined Benefit
Pension and Other Postretirement Plans (SFAS 158). SFAS 158 requires employers to fully
recognize the obligations associated with single-employer defined benefit pension, retiree
healthcare and other postretirement plans in their financial statements. The provisions of SFAS
158 are effective as of the end of the fiscal year ending December 31, 2006. The Company adopted
SFAS 158 in the fourth quarter of 2006.
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets
and Financial Liabilities including an amendment of SFAS 115 (SFAS 159). SFAS 159 allows
entities to choose, at specific election dates, to measure eligible financial assets and
liabilities at fair value that are not otherwise required to be measured at fair value. If a
company elects the fair value option for an eligible item, changes in that items fair value in
subsequent reporting periods must be recognized in current earnings. SFAS 159 is effective for the
fiscal year beginning January 1, 2008. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the
provisions of SFAS 159.

PART I, ITEM 2. MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS
The following Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations (MD&A) should be read in conjunction with the interim Consolidated Condensed Financial
Statements and the Notes to the Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements included elsewhere in
this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Disclosure Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
Some of the statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q constitute forward-looking
statements within the meaning of the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of
1995. These statements relate to our operations that are based on our current expectations,
estimates and projections. Words such as may, will, could, would, should, anticipate,
predict, potential, continue, expects, intends, plans, projects, believes,
estimates, goals, in our view and similar expressions are used to identify these
forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements contained in this Annual Report include
statements about our internal control over financial reporting, our results of operations and our
financial condition. Forward-looking statements are only predictions and as such are not
guarantees of future performance and involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions that are
difficult to predict. Forward-looking statements are based upon assumptions as to future events or
our future financial performance that may not prove to be accurate. Actual outcomes and results may
differ materially from what is expressed or forecast in these forward-looking statements. The
reasons for these differences include changes that occur in our continually changing business
environment, and the following factors:
|
|
|
Our continuing failure to timely file certain periodic reports with the SEC poses
significant risks to our business, each of which could materially and adversely affect our
financial condition and results of operations. |
|
|
|
|
In 2004, we identified material weaknesses in our internal control over financial
reporting, the remediation of which has materially and adversely affected our business and
financial condition, and as of December 31, 2006, these material weaknesses remain. |
|
|
|
|
We face risks related to securities litigation and regulatory actions that could
adversely affect our financial condition and business. |
|
|
|
|
Our business may be adversely impacted as a result of changes in demand, both globally
and in individual market segments, for our consulting and systems integration services. |
|
|
|
|
Our operating results will suffer if we are not able to maintain our billing and
utilization rates or control our costs. |
|
|
|
|
We continue to incur selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses at levels
significantly higher than those of our competitors. If we are unable to significantly
reduce SG&A expenses over the near term, our ability to achieve, and make significant
improvements in, net income and profitability will remain in jeopardy. |
|
|
|
|
The systems integration consulting markets are highly competitive, and we may not be
able to compete effectively if we are not able to maintain our billing rates or control our
costs related to these engagements. |
|
|
|
|
Contracting with the Federal government is inherently risky and exposes us to risks that
may materially and adversely affect our business. |
|
|
|
|
Our ability to attract, retain and motivate our managing directors and other key
employees is critical to the success of our business. We continue to experience sustained,
higher-than-industry average levels of voluntary turnover among our workforce, which has
impacted our ability to grow our business. |
|
|
|
|
Our contracts can be terminated by our clients with short notice, or our clients may
cancel or delay projects. |
|
|
|
|
If we are not able to keep up with rapid changes in technology or maintain strong
relationships with software providers, our business could suffer. |
|
|
|
|
Loss of our joint marketing relationships could reduce our revenue and growth prospects. |
|
|
|
|
We are not likely to be able to significantly grow our business through mergers and acquisitions in the near term. |
|
|
|
|
There will not be a consistent pattern in our financial results from quarter to quarter,
which may result in increased volatility of our stock price. |
|
|
|
|
Our profitability may decline due to financial, regulatory and operational risks
inherent in worldwide operations. |
|
|
|
|
We may bear the risk of cost overruns relating to our services, thereby adversely affecting our profitability. |
|
|
|
|
We may face legal liabilities and damage to our professional reputation from claims made against our work. |
23
|
|
|
Our services may infringe upon the intellectual property rights of others. |
|
|
|
|
We have only a limited ability to protect our intellectual property rights, which are important to our success. |
|
|
|
|
Our current cash resources might not be sufficient to meet our expected cash needs over time. |
|
|
|
|
We have been unable to issue shares of our common stock under our ESPP since February 1,
2005. The longer we are unable to issue shares of our common stock, the more likely our
ESPP participants may elect to withdraw their accumulated cash contributions from the ESPP
at rates higher than those we have historically experienced. |
|
|
|
|
Our 2007 Credit Facility imposes a number of restrictions on the way in which we operate
our business and may negatively affect our ability to finance future needs, or do so on
favorable terms. If we violate these restrictions, we will be in default under the 2007
Credit Facility, which may cross-default to our other indebtedness. |
|
|
|
|
If we cannot generate positive cash flow from our operations, we eventually may not be
able to service our indebtedness. |
|
|
|
|
We may be unable to obtain new surety bonds, letters of credit or bank guarantees in
support of client engagements on acceptable terms. |
|
|
|
|
Downgrades of our credit ratings may increase our borrowing costs and materially and
adversely affect our financial condition. |
|
|
|
|
Our leverage may adversely affect our business and financial performance and may
restrict our operating flexibility. |
|
|
|
|
The holders of our debentures have the right, at their option, to require us to purchase
some or all of their debentures upon certain dates or upon the occurrence of certain
designated events, which could have a material adverse effect on our liquidity. |
|
|
|
|
The price of our common stock may decline due to the number of shares that may be
available for sale in the future. |
|
|
|
|
There are significant limitations on the ability of any person or company to acquire the
Company without the approval of our Board of Directors. |
For a more detailed discussion of these factors, please refer to Item 1A, Risk Factors,
included in our 2006 Form 10-K.
Explanatory Note
As a result of significant delays in completing our Consolidated Financial Statements for
fiscal 2006, we were unable to timely file with the SEC our 2006 Form 10-K and Quarterly Reports on
Form 10-Q for fiscal 2006. In addition, we were unable to timely file with the SEC our Quarterly
Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2007.
We
filed the 2006 Form 10-K on June 28, 2007. Due to the delay in the filing of this
Quarterly Report, certain information presented in this Quarterly Report relates to significant
events that have occurred subsequent to March 31, 2006.
Overview
We provide strategic consulting applications services, technology solutions and managed
services to government organizations, Global 2000 companies and medium-sized businesses in the
United States and internationally. In North America, we provide consulting services through our
Public Services, Commercial Services and Financial Services industry groups in which we focus
significant industry-specific knowledge and service offerings to our clients. Outside of North
America, we are organized on a geographic basis, with operations in EMEA, the Asia Pacific region
and Latin America.
We have started the transition of our business to a more integrated, global delivery model. In
2007, we created a Global Account Management Program and a Global Solutions Council represented by
all of our industry groups that will focus on identifying opportunities for globalized solutions
suites. Our Global Delivery Centers continue to grow, both in terms of personnel and the
percentage of work they provide to our industry groups.
Economic and Industry Factors
We believe that our clients spending for consulting services is partially correlated to,
among other factors, the performance of the domestic and global economy as measured by a variety of
indicators such as gross domestic product, government policies, mergers and acquisitions activity,
corporate earnings, U.S. Federal and state government budget levels, inflation and interest rates
and client confidence levels, among others. As economic uncertainties increase, clients interests
in business and technology consulting historically have turned more to improving existing processes
and reducing costs rather
24
than investing in new innovations. Demand for our services, as evidenced by new contract
bookings, also does not uniformly follow changes in economic cycles. Consequently, we may
experience rapid decreases in new contract bookings at the onset of significant economic downturns
while the benefits of economic recovery may take longer to realize.
The markets in which we provide services are increasingly competitive and global in nature.
While supply and demand in certain lines of business and geographies may support price increases
for some of our standard service offerings from time to time, to maintain and improve our
profitability we must constantly seek to improve and expand our unique service offerings and
deliver our services at increasingly lower cost levels. Our Public Services industry group, which
is our largest, also must operate within the U.S. Federal, state and local government markets where
unique contracting, budgetary and regulatory regimes control how contracts are awarded, modified
and terminated. Budgetary constraints or reductions in government funding may result in the
modification or termination of long-term government contracts, which could dramatically affect the
outlook of that business.
Revenue and Income Drivers
We derive substantially all of our revenue from professional services activities. Our revenue
is driven by our ability to continuously generate new opportunities to serve clients, by the prices
we obtain for our service offerings, and by the size and utilization of our professional workforce.
Our ability to generate new business is directly influenced by the economic conditions in the
industries and regions we serve, our anticipation and response to technological change, the type
and level of technology spending by our clients and by our clients perception of the quality of
our work. Our ability to generate new business is also indirectly and increasingly influenced by
our clients perceptions of our ability to manage our ongoing issues surrounding our financial
accounting, internal controls and SEC reporting capabilities.
Our gross profit consists of revenue less our costs of service. The primary components of our
costs of service include professional compensation and other direct contract expenses.
Professional compensation consists of payroll costs and related benefits associated with client
service professional staff (including the vesting of various stock awards, tax equalization for
employees on foreign and long-term domestic assignments and costs associated with reductions in
workforce). Other direct contract expenses include costs directly attributable to client
engagements. These costs include out-of-pocket costs such as travel and subsistence for client
service professional staff, costs of hardware and software, and costs of subcontractors. If we are
unable to adequately control or estimate these costs, or properly anticipate the sizes of our
client service and support staff, our profitability will suffer.
Our operating profit reflects our revenue less costs of service and certain additional items
that include, primarily, SG&A expenses, which include costs related
to marketing, information systems, depreciation and amortization, finance and accounting, human
resources, sales force, and other expenses related to managing and growing our business.
Write-downs in the carrying value of goodwill and amortization of intangible assets have also
reduced our operating profit.
Our operating cash flow is derived predominantly from gross operating profit and how we manage
our receivables and payables.
Key Performance Indicators
In evaluating our operating performance and financial condition, we focus on the following key
performance indicators: bookings, revenue growth, gross margin (gross profit as a percentage of
revenue), utilization, days sales outstanding, free cash flow and attrition.
|
|
|
Bookings. We believe that information regarding our new contract bookings provides
useful trend information regarding how the volume of our new business changes over time.
Comparing the amount of new contract bookings and revenue provides us with an additional
measure of the short-term sustainability of revenue growth. Information regarding our new
bookings should not be compared to, or substituted for, an analysis of our revenue over
time. There are no third-party standards or requirements governing the calculation of
bookings. New contract bookings are recorded using then existing currency exchange rates
and are not subsequently adjusted for currency fluctuations. These amounts represent our
estimate at contract signing of the net revenue expected over the term of that contract and
involve estimates and judgments regarding new contracts as well as renewals, extensions and
additions to existing contracts. Subsequent cancellations, extensions and other matters may
affect the amount of bookings previously reported. Bookings do not include potential
revenue that could be earned from a client relationship as a result of future expansion of
service offerings to that client, nor does it reflect option years under contracts that are
subject to client discretion. In addition, government contracts or work orders are not included in bookings until
related appropriations spending has been properly approved and, then, only to the extent of the
amount of spending approved. Consequently, there can be significant differences between the times
of contract signing and new contract booking recognition. Although our level of bookings provides an indication of
how our
|
25
|
|
|
business is performing, we do not characterize our bookings, or our engagement contracts
associated with new bookings, as backlog because our engagements generally can be cancelled
or terminated on short notice or without notice. |
|
|
|
|
Revenue Growth. Unlike bookings, which provide only a general sense of future
expectations, period-over-period comparisons of revenue provide a meaningful depiction of
how successful we have been in growing our business over time. |
|
|
|
|
Gross Margin (gross profit as a percentage of revenue). Gross margin is a meaningful
tool for monitoring our ability to control our costs of services. Analysis of the various
cost elements, including professional compensation expense, effects of foreign exchange
rate changes and the use of subcontractors, as a percentage of revenue over time can
provide additional information as to the key challenges we are facing in our business. The
cost of subcontractors is generally more expensive than the cost of our own workforce and
can negatively impact our gross profit. While the use of subcontractors can help us to win
larger, more complex deals, and also may be mandated by our clients, we focus on limiting
the use of subcontractors whenever possible in order to minimize our costs. We also
utilize certain adjusted gross margin metrics in connection with the vesting and settlement
of certain employee incentive awards. For a discussion of these
metrics, see Item 11,
Executive Compensation
Compensation Discussion and Analysis, included in our 2006 Form 10-K. |
|
|
|
|
Utilization. Utilization represents the percentage of time our consultants are
performing work, and is defined as total hours charged to client engagement or to
non-chargeable client-relationship projects divided by total available hours for any
specific time period, net of holiday and paid vacation hours. In 2006, we changed how we
define utilization to make this metric more consistent with how we believe our industry
peer group measures this metric. Utilization percentages for fiscal 2005 set forth herein
have been adjusted to conform to this new definition. |
|
|
|
|
Days Sales Outstanding (DSO). DSO is an operational metric that approximates the
amount of earned revenue that remains unpaid by clients at a given time. DSOs are derived
by dividing the sum of our outstanding accounts receivable and unbilled revenue, less
deferred revenue, by our average net revenue per day. Average net revenue per day is
determined by dividing total net revenue for the most recently ended trailing twelve-month
period by 365. |
|
|
|
|
Free Cash Flow. Free cash flow is calculated by subtracting purchases of property and
equipment from cash provided by operating activities. We believe free cash flow is a useful
measure because it allows better understanding and assessment of our ability to meet debt
service requirements and the amount of recurring cash generated from operations after
expenditures for fixed assets. Free cash flow does not represent our residual
cash flow available for discretionary expenditures as it excludes certain mandatory
expenditures such as repayment of maturing debt. We use free cash flow as a measure of
recurring operating cash flow. Free cash flow is a non-GAAP financial measure. The most
directly comparable financial measure calculated in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of
America (GAAP) is net cash
provided by operating activities. |
|
|
|
|
Attrition. Attrition, or voluntary total employee turnover, is calculated by dividing
the number of our employees who have chosen to leave the Company within a certain period by
the total average number of all employees during that same period. Our attrition statistic
covers all of our employees, which we believe provides metrics that are more compatible
with, and comparable to, those of our competitors. |
Readers should understand that each of the performance indicators identified above are
utilized by many companies in our industry and by those who follow our industry. There are no
uniform standards or requirements for computing these performance indicators, and, consequently,
our computations of these amounts may not be comparable to those of our competitors.
First Quarter of 2006 Highlights
In
2006, we were able to sustain our underlying operations and our core
business continued to perform, despite the issues we continue to face
with respect to our financial accounting systems and efforts to
become timely in our SEC periodic reports. We began to see the
benefits of restructuring efforts undertaken in previous years, particularly in our Asia Pacific and EMEA
industry groups, as well as management actions aimed at improving our profitability. These benefits
allowed us to show significant improvements in gross profit and net income (loss) while maintaining
relatively constant year-over-year levels of bookings and revenue. We were also successful in
resolving and settling a number of long-running contractual disputes.
26
We were able to achieve these results despite increasing pricing pressures and competition for
the retention of skilled personneltwo current industry-wide phenomena that affect us more acutely
due to our continuing efforts to timely produce our financial statements and file our periodic
reports with the SEC. We continue to be uniquely challenged in these regards and by persisting
negative perceptions regarding our financial position that may have been, in our opinion,
unjustifiably increased by our settlement of a vigorously contested lawsuit initiated by several
holders of our Series B Debentures.
A summary of our financial highlights for the first quarter of 2006 is presented below. For
information on additional highlights occurring throughout fiscal 2006, please refer to our 2006
Form 10-K:
|
|
|
New contract bookings for first quarter of 2006 were $804.6 million, an increase of
$110.4 million, or 15.9%, over new contract bookings of $694.2 million for the first
quarter of 2005. New contract bookings increased in North America, driven by strong
bookings in our Public Services industry group, which offset slightly decreased bookings in
our Financial Services and Commercial Services industry groups. Bookings also increased in
our EMEA and Asia Pacific regions. |
|
|
|
|
Our revenue for the first quarter of 2006 was $833.7 million, representing a decrease of
$37.6 million, or 4.3%, from first quarter of 2005 revenue of $871.3 million. Our
Commercial Services industry group experienced decreased revenue due to declines and
reversals attributable to the settlement of disputes with two significant
telecommunications industry clients, which more than offset increases in our Financial
Services industry group. |
|
|
|
|
Our gross profit for the first quarter of 2006 was $98.5 million, compared with $25.0
million for the first quarter of 2005. Gross profit as a percentage of revenue increased to
11.8% during the first quarter of 2006 from 2.9% during the first quarter of 2005.
Significant reductions in professional compensation expense and other direct contract
expenses contributed to this improvement, despite the decline in revenue. |
|
|
|
|
We incurred SG&A expenses of $188.9 million in
the first quarter of 2006, representing an increase of $25.5 million, or 15.6%, over SG&A
expenses of $163.4 million in the first quarter of 2005. The increase was due to increases
in our finance and accounting costs, primarily for sub-contracted labor and other costs
related to the closing of our 2005 financial statements. |
|
|
|
|
During the first quarter of 2006, we realized a net loss of $72.7 million, or a loss of
$0.34 per share, compared to a net loss of $232.6 million, or a loss of $1.16 per share,
during the first quarter of 2005. This change in net loss was attributable to several
factors, including: |
|
|
|
Gross profit for the first quarter of 2006 improved Company-wide compared to
our gross profit for the first quarter of 2005, representing an increase of
$73.5 million; |
|
|
|
|
We recorded $38.0 million in the first quarter of 2006 for an insurance
settlement in connection with our settlement with Hawaiian Telcom
Communications, Inc. (the HT Contract); and |
|
|
|
|
Our income tax provision for the first quarter of 2006 was lower than our
income tax provision for the first quarter of 2005, as the 2005 amount included
a $57.3 million increase to valuation allowance, primarily against our U.S.
deferred tax assets. |
|
|
|
Contributing
to the net loss for the first quarter of 2006 were $33.6 million of losses related to the
previously mentioned settlements with telecommunication clients, $12.9 million accrued for bonuses
payable to our employees, $10.0 million of stock-based
compensation expense and $2.8 million of lease
and facilities restructuring charges.
|
|
|
|
|
Utilization for the first quarter of 2006 was 73.4%, a decrease of 320 basis points from
the first quarter of 2005. Utilization for the three months ended March 31, 2007 was 76.6%. |
|
|
|
|
Free cash flow for the first quarters of 2006 and 2005 was ($59.6) million and ($112.6)
million, respectively. Net cash used in operating activities in the first quarters of 2006
and 2005 was ($45.5) million and ($106.2) million, respectively. Purchases of property and
equipment in the first quarters of 2006 and 2005 were $14.1 million and $6.4 million,
respectively. The change in free cash flow for the first quarter of 2006 compared to the
first quarter of 2005 resulted from the following: |
|
|
|
At March 31, 2006, our DSOs stood at 102 days, representing a decrease of 10
days, or 9%, from our DSOs at March 31, 2005, largely due to more aggressive
collection efforts. Our continued focus on this metric during 2006 improved our
free cash flow by $76.6 million during the first quarter of 2006 as compared to
the first quarter of 2005. |
|
|
|
|
We experienced higher operating profitability in our business, as evidenced
by the sharp decline in operating loss for the first quarter of 2006 as compared
to the first quarter of 2005. |
|
|
|
|
We experienced greater cash outflows in first quarter of 2006 due to payments
made for professional services and related expenses accrued during 2005 under
our contract with HT. |
27
|
|
|
As of March 31, 2006, we had approximately 17,500 full-time employees, including
approximately 15,400 consulting professionals. This represented an increase in billable
headcount of approximately 3.4% from our headcount as of March 31, 2005, which consisted of
approximately 17,000 full-time employees and 14,900 consulting professionals, respectively.
As of March 31, 2007, we had approximately 17,500 full-time employees, including
approximately 15,200 consulting professionals. |
|
|
|
|
Our voluntary, annualized attrition rate for the first quarter of 2006 was 24.2%,
compared to 24.9% for the first quarter of 2005. The highly competitive industry in which
we operate, and our continuing issues related to our North American financial reporting
systems and internal controls, have made it particularly critical and challenging for us to
attract and retain experienced personnel. Our voluntary, annualized attrition rate for the
three months ended March 31, 2007 was 23.9%. |
Principal Business Priorities for 2007 and Beyond
In early 2007 our Board of Directors determined our principal business priorities to be to:
(1) enhance shareholder value, (2) become timely in our financial and SEC periodic reporting, (3)
replace our North American financial reporting systems, (4) reduce employee attrition, (5) increase
client awareness, confidence and satisfaction, and (6) strengthen our balance sheet. For
additional information on managements current and planned initiatives to achieve the priorities
established by our Board of Directors, please refer to our 2006 Form 10-K.
Segments
Our reportable segments for 2006 consist of our three North America industry groups (Public
Services, Commercial Services, and Financial Services), our three international regions (EMEA, Asia
Pacific and Latin America) and the Corporate/Other category (which consists primarily of
infrastructure costs). Revenue and gross profit information about our segments are presented
below, starting with each of our industry groups and then with each of our three international
regions (in order of size).
Our chief operating decision maker, the Chief Executive Officer, evaluates performance and
allocates resources among the segments. Upon consolidation, all intercompany accounts and
transactions are eliminated. Inter-segment revenue is not included in the measure of profit or loss
for each reportable segment. Performance of the segments is evaluated on operating income excluding
the costs of infrastructure functions (such as information systems, finance and accounting, human
resources, legal and marketing) as described in Note 6, Segment Reporting, of the Notes to
Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements. During 2005, we combined our Communications, Content
and Utilities and Consumer, Industrial and Technology industry groups to form the Commercial
Services industry group.

Public Services revenue slightly decreased during the first quarter of 2006,
primarily due to a revenue decline in our Civilian business sector, which significantly
offset revenue growth in our Defense and State, Local and Education (SLED) sector. |
|
|
|
|
Commercial Services revenue decreased during the first quarter of 2006, primarily due
to a $30.6 million year-over-year decrease in revenue associated with the HT Contract and a reduction of $20.0 million in revenue related to the resolution of
a billings dispute with another large telecommunications client regarding an engagement
completed in 2003. Reduced customer demand for our services, particularly within the
telecommunications industry affected our revenue. These decreases were partially offset
by the recognition of approximately $11.0 million in previously deferred revenue in the
first quarter of 2006. |
|
|
|
|
Financial Services revenue increased during the first quarter of 2006, due to revenue
growth in all business sectors. The revenue increases in the Banking and Global Markets
sectors were attributable to existing client engagements and the introduction of some new
clients into our traditional client base. Insurance sector revenue increased in response
to industry-wide demand for major technology updates and upgrades to operational systems. |
|
|
|
|
EMEA revenue decreased during the first quarter of 2006, primarily as a result of the
unfavorable impact of the weakening of foreign currencies (primarily the Euro) against
the U.S. dollar. Significant revenue declines in Germany were partially offset by
revenue growth in France. Revenue in Germany decreased due to a combination of the impact
of reductions in billable headcount precipitated by the restructuring of our practice in
Germany, increased pressure on pricing and a reduction in the spending levels of German
public sector |
29
|
|
|
clients. Revenue growth in France was driven by an expanding systems integration
practice and additional penetration into the French public sector market in 2006. |
|
|
|
|
Asia Pacific revenue increased during the first quarter of 2006, primarily due to
significant revenue growth in Australia from a significant new client engagement in the
telecommunications industry. Asia Pacific revenue was negatively affected in the first
quarter of 2006 by the weakening of foreign currencies against the U.S. dollar (primarily
the Japanese Yen). |
|
|
|
|
Latin America revenue decreased during the first quarter of 2006, due to decline in
local revenue growth in Mexico, partially offset by the strengthening of foreign
currencies in Latin America against the U.S. Dollar (particularly the Brazilian Real).
Revenue in Mexico declined as the practice continues to be restructured to position
itself for future growth. |
|
|
|
|
Corporate/Other: Our Corporate/Other segment does not contribute significantly to our
revenue. |
Gross Profit. During the first quarter of 2006, our revenue decreased $37.6 million and total
costs of service decreased $111.1 million when compared to the first quarter of 2005, resulting in
an increase in gross profit of $73.5 million, or 294.7%. Gross profit as a percentage of revenue
increased to 11.8% for the first quarter of 2006 from 2.9% for the first quarter of 2005. The
change in gross profit for the first quarter of 2006 compared to the first quarter of 2005 resulted
primarily from the following:
|
|
|
Professional compensation expense decreased as a percentage of revenue to 51.5% for the
first quarter of 2006, compared to 54.7% for the first quarter of 2005. We experienced a
net decrease in professional compensation expense of $47.3 million, or 9.9%, to $429.2
million for the first quarter of 2006 from $476.6 million for the first quarter of 2005.
The decrease in professional compensation expense from the first quarter of 2005 was
primarily due to higher professional compensation expense recorded in 2005 (as compared to
2006) related to the loss accrual for the HT Contract, partially offset by increasing
payroll costs attributable to additional billable employees hired during the first quarter
of 2006. |
|
|
|
|
Other direct contract expenses decreased as a percentage of revenue to 29.1% for the
first quarter of 2006 compared to 32.6% for the first quarter of 2005. We experienced a
net decrease in other direct contract expenses of $41.4 million, or 14.6%, to $242.4
million for the first quarter of 2006 from $283.8 million for the first quarter of 2005.
The decrease from the first quarter of 2005 was driven primarily by higher other direct
contract expenses recorded in the first quarter of 2005 related to the loss accrual for
the HT Contract. In addition, the decline was driven by reduced subcontractor expenses as
a result of increased use of internal resources. |
|
|
|
|
Other costs of service as a percentage of revenue decreased to 7.3% for the first
quarter of 2006 from 7.6% for the first quarter of 2005. We experienced a net decrease in
other costs of service of $5.5 million, or 8.3%, to $60.8 million for the first quarter of
2006 from $66.4 million for the first quarter of 2005. The decrease was primarily
attributable to a cost savings realized directly or indirectly from office space reduction
efforts taken to date. |
|
|
|
|
In the first quarter of 2006 we recorded, within the Corporate/Other operating
segment, a charge of $2.8 million related to lease, facilities and other exit activities,
compared with a $19.6 million charge related to lease, facilities and other exit
activities in the first quarter of 2005. These charges related primarily to the fair
value of future lease obligations associated with office space, primarily within the EMEA
and North America regions, which we will no longer be using. |

information and performance metrics for each of our reportable segments for the first quarters of

Changes in gross profit by segment were as follows:
|
|
|
Public Services gross profit decreased in the first quarter of 2006, primarily due to
increases in professional compensation expense related to hiring needs related to demand
for our services. |
|
|
|
|
Commercial Services gross profit increased in the first quarter of 2006 despite
significantly lower revenue, primarily due to a $61.5 million year-over-year reduction in
losses relating to the HT Contract. Other factors contributing to the increase in gross
profit were the cost savings realized in 2006 from 2005 workforce realignments and
reduced subcontractor expenses as a result of the increased use of internal resources. |
|
|
|
|
Financial Services gross profit increased in the first quarter of 2006, as higher
revenue across all sectors more than offset increases in compensation expense related to
a substantial increase in billable headcount. Also reducing gross profit was an increase
in other direct contract expenses due to additional subcontractor usage driven by higher
revenue. |
|
|
|
|
EMEA gross profit increased in the first quarter of 2006, due primarily to improved
profitability in France and Austria along with significantly improved profitability in
Spain as a result of higher utilization and reduced costs. Declines in compensation
expenses and other direct contract expenses also contributed to the increase in gross
profit, although compensation expense for 2006 continued to be affected by severance and
other costs related to the internal restructuring of the Companys business in Germany. |
|
|
|
|
Asia Pacific gross profit increased in the first quarter of 2006 primarily due to
significant improvements in profitability and staff utilization in the Companys
businesses in Australia and China. Due to the high demand for resources in the Japanese
market and limited availability of qualified personnel, increases in subcontractor
expenses served to depress the growth of gross profit in the Companys business in Japan.
Significant regional improvements in compensation expense in 2006 derived from the 2005
workforce reductions in Japan and China were substantially offset by additional
compensation expenses associated with the use of the Companys
|
31
|
|
|
personnel from outside the region in connection with a significant new telecommunications
industry engagement in Australia. |
|
|
|
|
Latin America gross profit decreased in the first quarter of 2006 due to lower revenue
combined with increases to other direct contract expenses, primarily subcontractor
expenses. |
|
|
|
|
Corporate/Other consists primarily of rent expense and other facilities related
charges, which decreased in the first quarter of 2006 primarily due to the lease and
facilities restructuring charges discussed above. |
Amortization of Purchased Intangible Assets. Amortization of purchased intangible assets
decreased $0.1 million to $0.5 million for the first quarter of 2006 from $0.6 million for the
first quarter of 2005.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Selling, general and administrative
expenses increased $25.5 million, or 15.6%, to $188.9 million for the first quarter of 2006 from
$163.4 million for the first quarter of 2005. SG&A expenses as a percentage of gross revenue
increased to 22.7% in the first quarter of 2006 from 18.8% for the first quarter of 2005. The
increase was primarily due to higher finance and accounting costs, primarily for sub-contracted
labor and other costs related to the closing of our 2005 financial statements.
Interest Income. Interest income was $2.3 million and $1.4 million in the first quarters
of 2006 and 2005, respectively. Interest income is earned primarily from cash and cash
equivalents, including money-market investments. The increase in interest income was due to a
higher level of cash available to be invested in money markets during the first quarter of 2006 as
compared to the first quarter of 2005.
Interest Expense. Interest expense was $9.0 million and $8.1 million in the first quarters
of 2006 and 2005, respectively. Interest expense is attributable to our debt obligations,
consisting of interest due along with amortization of loan costs and loan discounts. The increase
in interest expense was due to higher average debt balances in the first quarter of 2006 as
compared to the first quarter of 2005.
Insurance Settlement. During the three months ended March 31, 2006, we recorded $38.0 million
for an insurance settlement, in connection with our settlement with HT. For more information, see
Note 9, Commitments and Contingencies, of the Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial
Statements.
Other Expense, net. Other income, net was $0.0 million and other expense, net was $5.1
million in the first quarters of 2006 and 2005, respectively. The balances in each period
primarily consist of realized foreign currency exchange losses.
Income Tax Expense. We incurred income tax expenses of $13.4 million and $81.7 million in the
three months ended March 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively. The principal reasons for the difference
between the effective income tax rates on loss from continuing operations of (22.6)% and (54.2)%
for the three months ended March 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively, were: a change in valuation
allowance, changes in income tax reserves, the mix of income attributable to foreign versus
domestic jurisdictions, state and local taxes, other items and non-deductible meals and
entertainment.
Net Loss. For the first quarter of 2006, we incurred a net loss of $72.7 million, or a
loss of $0.34 per share. Contributing to the net loss for the first
quarter of 2006 were $33.6 million
of losses related to previously mentioned settlements with
telecommunication clients, $12.9 million accrued for bonuses payable to our employees, $10.0 million of stock-based
compensation expense and $2.8
million of lease and facilities restructuring charges.
For the first quarter of 2005, we incurred a net loss of $232.6 million, or a loss of $1.16
per share. Included in our results for first quarter of 2005 were $113.1 million in operating
losses related to the HT Contract, a $57.3 million increase in the valuation allowance primarily
against our U.S. deferred tax assets, and $19.6 million of lease and facilities restructuring
charges.

Operating Activities. Net cash used in operating activities during the first quarter of
2006 decreased $60.7 million over the first quarter of 2005. This decrease was primarily
attributable to improved profitability and a decrease in accounts receivable of $51.8 million in
the first quarter of 2006 compared to an increase in the first quarter of 2005 of $24.8 million.
This was to due to a decrease in our DSOs to 102 days at March 31, 2006 from 112 days at March 31,
2005, largely due to more aggressive collections efforts.
Investing Activities. Net cash provided by investing activities during the first quarter of
2006 increased $60.7 million over the first quarter of 2005. This increase was predominantly due to
the change in the amount of restricted cash posted as collateral for letters of credit and surety
bonds. The requirement to deposit and maintain cash collateral terminated as part of the March 31,
2006 amendment to our 2005 Credit Facility, and such cash collateral was released to us. The
increase was offset by an increase of $7.7 million in capital expenditures during the three months
ended March 31, 2006 over the three months ended March 31, 2005.
Financing Activities. Net cash provided by financing activities for the first quarter of 2006
was $3.3 million, resulting primarily from an increase in book overdrafts during the quarter of
$7.8 million. Net cash provided by financing activities in first quarter of 2005 was $61.6 million,
resulting primarily from the proceeds on the issuance of debentures with an aggregate principal
amount of $50.0 million.
In addition, issuances of common stock from our ESPP generated $0 and $14.6 million in cash
during the first quarters of 2006 and 2005, respectively. Because we
are not current in our SEC periodic filings, we are unable to issue freely tradable shares of our common stock.
Consequently, we were unable to make any public offerings of our common stock in 2006 or 2005 and
have not issued shares under the LTIP or ESPP since early 2005. These sources of financing will
remain unavailable to us until we are again current in our SEC periodic filings.
For additional information on our liquidity and capital resources, see Item 7, Managements
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations Liquidity and Capital
Resources, included in our 2006 Form 10-K.
For information on our 2007 Credit Facility and our Discontinued 2005 Credit Facility, please
refer to Note 3, Notes Payable.
Debt Ratings
On February 6, 2007, Standard & Poors Rating Services (Standard & Poors) withdrew our
senior unsecured rating of B- and our subordinated debt rating of CCC+ and removed them from
CreditWatch. Separately, on October 6, 2006, Moodys downgraded our corporate family rating to B2
from B1 and the ratings for two of our subordinated convertible bonds series to B3 from B2, and
placed our ratings on review for further downgrade.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In June 2006, the FASB issued FIN No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxesan
interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 (FIN 48). This Interpretation clarifies the accounting
for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an entitys financial statements in accordance with
SFAS No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. It prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement
attribute for financial statement disclosure of tax positions taken or expected to be taken. This
interpretation also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties,
accounting in interim periods, disclosures, and transition. FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years
beginning after December 15, 2006. We will be required to
33
adopt this Interpretation in the first quarter of fiscal 2007. We are currently evaluating the
requirements of FIN 48 and have not yet determined the impact on our Consolidated Financial
Statements.
In September 2006, the SEC staff issued SAB No. 108, Considering the Effects of Prior Year
Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements (SAB 108). SAB
108 was issued in order to eliminate the diversity of practice surrounding how public companies
quantify financial statement misstatements. SAB 108 requires registrants to quantify the impact of
correcting all misstatements using both the rollover method, which focuses primarily on the
impact of a misstatement on the income statement and is the method we currently use, and the iron
curtain method, which focuses primarily on the effect of correcting the period-end balance sheet.
The use of both of these methods is referred to as the dual approach and should be combined with
the evaluation of qualitative elements surrounding the errors in accordance with SAB No. 99,
Materiality. The adoption of SAB 108 during 2006 did not have a material impact on our
Consolidated Financial Statements.
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
generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements.
The provisions of SFAS 157 are effective for the fiscal year beginning January 1, 2008. We are
currently evaluating the impact of the provisions of SFAS 157.
In
December 2006, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. EITF 00-19-2,
Accounting for Registration Payment Arrangements
(FSP No. EITF 00-19-2). FSP No. EITF 00-19-2 specifies
that the contingent obligation to make future payments or otherwise
transfer consideration under a registration payment arrangement,
whether issued as a separate agreement or included as a provision of
a financial instrument or other agreement, should be separately
recognized and measured in accordance with SFAS No. 5,
Accounting for Contingencies. FSP No. EITF 00-19-2 also
requires additional disclosure regarding the nature of any
registration payment arrangements, alternative settlement methods, the
maximum potential amount of consideration and the current carrying
amount of the liability, if any. FSP No. EITF 00-19-2 shall be
effective immediately for registration payment arrangements and the
financial instruments subject to those arrangements that are entered
into or modified subsequent to the date of issuance of FSP No. EITF
00-19-2. For registration payment arrangements and financial
instruments subject to those arrangements that were entered into
prior to the issuance of FSP No. EITF 00-19-2, this guidance shall be
effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning
after December 15, 2006, and interim periods within those fiscal
years. We are currently evaluating the impact FSP No. EITF 00-19-2
could have on our financial position, results of operations or cash
flows.
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 158, Employers Accounting for Defined Benefit
Pension and Other Postretirement Plans (SFAS 158). SFAS 158 requires employers to fully
recognize the obligations associated with single-employer defined benefit pension, retiree
healthcare and other postretirement plans in their financial statements. The provisions of SFAS 158
are effective as of the end of the fiscal year ending December 31, 2006. We adopted SFAS 158 in the
fourth quarter of 2006.
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets
and Financial Liabilities including an amendment of SFAS 115, (SFAS 159). SFAS 159 allows
entities to choose, at specific election dates, to measure eligible financial assets and
liabilities at fair value that are not otherwise required to be measured at fair value. If a
company elects the fair value option for an eligible item, changes in that items fair value in
subsequent reporting periods must be recognized in current earnings. SFAS 159 is effective for the
fiscal year beginning January 1, 2008. We are currently evaluating the impact of the provisions of
SFAS 159.
PART I, ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
For a discussion of our market risk associated with the Companys market sensitive financial
instruments as of December 31, 2006, see Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market
Risk in Part II, Item 7A, of our 2006 Form 10-K. There have been no material changes as of March
31, 2006 to our market risk exposure disclosed in our 2006 Form 10-K.
PART I, ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report, management performed, with
the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, an evaluation of
the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and
15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act. Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that
information required to be disclosed in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is
recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SECs rules
and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including
our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding
required disclosures. Based on the evaluation and the identification of the material weaknesses in
internal control over financial reporting as disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the
year ended December 31, 2006, management concluded that, as of December 31, 2006 and March 31,
2006, the Companys disclosure controls and procedures were not effective.
Because of the material weaknesses identified in our evaluation of internal control over
financial reporting for the year ended December 31, 2006, we performed additional procedures, as
disclosed in Form 10K for the year ended December 31, 2006, so that our consolidated financial
statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2006, including quarterly periods, are
presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of
America (GAAP). The completion of these and other procedures resulted in the identification of
adjustments related to our consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December
31, 2006 and our consolidated condensed financial statements for the quarter ended March 31, 2006.
We believe that because we performed the substantial additional procedures referenced
above and made appropriate adjustments, the consolidated condensed financial statements for the
periods included in this Quarterly Report are fairly stated in all material respects in accordance
with GAAP.
Management is committed to continuing efforts aimed at fully achieving an operationally
effective control environment and timely filing of information that is required to be filed under
the Exchange Act. The remediation efforts, as noted in the Item 9A included in our Annual Report
on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006, will enable us to significantly improve our
control environment, the completeness and accuracy of underlying accounting data, and the
timeliness with which we are able to close our books. These efforts are subject to the Companys
internal control assessment, testing and evaluation processes. While these efforts continue, we
will rely on additional substantive procedures and other measures as needed to assist us with
meeting the objectives otherwise fulfilled by an effective control environment.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during
the most recently completed fiscal quarter that have materially affected or are reasonably likely
to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
