Unisys Corporation
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)
In the opinion of management, the financial information furnished herein
reflects all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the financial
position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods
specified. These adjustments consist only of normal recurring accruals except
as disclosed herein. Because of seasonal and other factors, results for
interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected
for the full year.
The company's accounting policies are set forth in detail in note 1 of the
notes to the consolidated financial statements in the company's Annual Report
on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007 filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission. Such Annual Report also contains a discussion of the
company's critical accounting policies. The company believes that these
critical accounting policies affect its more significant estimates and
judgments used in the preparation of the company's consolidated financial
statements. There have been no changes in the company's critical accounting
policies from those disclosed in the company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for
the year ended December 31, 2007.
a. The following table shows how earnings (loss) per share were computed for the
three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007 (dollars in millions, shares in
thousands):

======== =========
At March 31, 2008 and 2007, 37.0 million and 29.6 million, respectively, of
employee stock options were not included in the computation of diluted earnings
per share because either a loss was reported or the option prices were above
the average market price of the company's common stock.
b. In October 2005, the company announced a plan to reduce its cost structure.
As part of this plan, during the three months ended March 31, 2007, the company
committed to a reduction of 966 employees. This resulted in a pretax charge in
the quarter of $32.7 million, principally related to severance costs. The
charge was broken down as follows: (a) 451 employees in the U.S. for a charge
of $11.6 million and (b) 515 employees outside the U.S. for a charge of $21.1
million. The pretax charge was recorded in the following statement of income
classifications: cost of revenue-services, $25.0 million; selling, general and
administrative expenses, $2.1 million; research and development expenses, $6.2
million; and other income (expense), net, $.6 million. The income recorded in
other income (expense), net relates to minority shareholders' portion of the
charge related to the majority owned subsidiaries which are fully consolidated
by the company. There were no additional cost-reduction charges recorded
during the three months ended March 31, 2008; however, a $3.3 million change in
estimates was recorded as income in the current quarter compared with $6.2
million of income in the year-ago period.

The company currently expects to make cash contributions of approximately
$80 million to its worldwide defined benefit pension plans in 2008 compared
with $78.7 million in 2007. For the three months ended March 31, 2008 and
2007, $19.1 million and $15.6 million, respectively, of cash contributions
have been made. In accordance with regulations governing contributions to
U.S. defined benefit pension plans, the company is not required to fund its
U.S. qualified defined benefit pension plan in 2008.
The expense related to the company's match to the U.S. 401(k) plan for the
three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007 was $12.1 million and $12.9 million,
respectively.

The company expects to make cash contributions of approximately $28 million to
its postretirement benefit plan in 2008 compared with $24.4 million in 2007.
For the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, $2.6 million and $7.3
million, respectively, of cash contributions have been made.

d. In February 2007, the company sold its media business for gross proceeds of
$28.3 million and recognized a pretax gain of $23.7 million, which is included
in other income (expense).
In March 2007, the company settled an income tax audit in the Netherlands and
as a result, recorded a tax benefit of $39.4 million.
e. Under the company's stockholder approved stock-based plans, stock options,
stock appreciation rights, restricted stock and restricted stock units may be
granted to officers, directors and other key employees. As of March 31, 2008,
the company has granted non-qualified stock options and restricted stock units
under these plans. At March 31, 2008, 22.2 million shares of unissued common
stock of the company were available for granting under these plans.
For the three months ended March 31, 2008, 72,000 stock options were granted;
there were no stock options granted during the three months ended March 31,
2007. The company currently expects that any future grants of stock option
awards will be principally to newly hired individuals.
The fair value of stock option awards was estimated using the Black-Scholes
option pricing model with the following assumptions and weighted-average fair
values:
Three Months Ended March 31,
----------------------------
2008 2007
---- ----
Weighted-average fair value of grant $1.60 N/A
Risk-free interest rate 3.63% N/A
Expected volatility 45.28% N/A
Expected life of options in years 3.67 N/A
Expected dividend yield - -
For periods after January 1, 2006, the company has granted an annual restricted
stock unit award to officers, directors and other key employees in lieu of an
annual stock option grant. The restricted stock unit awards granted can
contain both time-based units and performance-based units. Each performance-
based unit will vest into zero to 1.5 shares depending on the degree to which
the performance goals are met. Compensation expense resulting from these
awards is recognized as expense ratably for each installment from the date of
grant until the date the restrictions lapse and is based on the fair market
value at the date of grant and the probability of achievement of the specific
performance-related goals. The company records share-based expense in selling,
general and administrative expense.
During the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, the company recorded
$6.0 million and $2.3 million of share-based compensation expense, respectively,
which is comprised of $5.9 million and $2.3 million of restricted stock unit
expense and $.1 million and zero of stock option expense, respectively.

The aggregate intrinsic value in the above table reflects the total pretax
intrinsic value (the difference between the company's closing stock price on
the last trading day of the period and the exercise price of the options,
multiplied by the number of in-the-money stock options) that would have been
received by the option holders had all option holders exercised their options
on March 31, 2008. The intrinsic value of the company's stock options changes
based on the closing price of the company's stock. The total intrinsic value
of options exercised for the three months ended March 31, 2008 was zero since
no options were exercised and the amount for the three months ended March 31,
2007 was $8.7 million. As of March 31, 2008, $.9 million of total unrecognized
compensation cost related to stock options is expected to be recognized over a
weighted-average period of 1.6 years.
A summary of restricted stock unit activity for the three months ended March 31,
2008 follows (shares in thousands):

The fair value of restricted stock units is determined based on the stock price
of the company's common shares on the date of grant. The weighted-average grant-
date fair value of restricted stock units granted during the three months ended
March 31, 2008 and 2007 was $4.12 and $8.31, respectively. As of March 31,
2008, there was $42.9 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related
to outstanding restricted stock units granted under the company's plans. That
cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.1 years.
The total fair value of restricted share units vested during the three months
ended March 31, 2008 and 2007 was $.8 million and $2.9 million, respectively.
Common stock issued upon exercise of stock options or upon lapse of
restrictions on restricted stock units are newly issued shares. Cash received
from the exercise of stock options for the three months ended March 31, 2008
and 2007 was zero and $7.0 million, respectively. The company is currently not
recognizing any tax benefits from the exercise of stock options or upon
issuance of stock upon lapse of restrictions on restricted stock units in light
of its tax position. Tax benefits resulting from tax deductions in excess of
the compensation costs recognized are classified as financing cash flows.

f. The company has two business segments: Services and Technology. Revenue
classifications by segment are as follows: Services - systems integration and
consulting, outsourcing, infrastructure services and core maintenance;
Technology - enterprise-class servers and specialized technologies.
The accounting policies of each business segment are the same as those followed
by the company as a whole. Intersegment sales and transfers are priced as if
the sales or transfers were to third parties. Accordingly, the Technology
segment recognizes intersegment revenue and manufacturing profit on hardware
and software shipments to customers under Services contracts. The Services
segment, in turn, recognizes customer revenue and marketing profits on such
shipments of company hardware and software to customers. The Services segment
also includes the sale of hardware and software products sourced from third
parties that are sold to customers through the company's Services channels. In
the company's consolidated statements of income, the manufacturing costs of
products sourced from the Technology segment and sold to Services customers are
reported in cost of revenue for Services.
Also included in the Technology segment's sales and operating profit are
sales of hardware and software sold to the Services segment for internal use
in Services engagements. The amount of such profit included in operating
income of the Technology segment for the three months ended March 31, 2008
and 2007 was $5.5 million and $.5 million, respectively. The profit on
these transactions is eliminated in Corporate.
The company evaluates business segment performance on operating income
exclusive of restructuring charges and unusual and nonrecurring items, which
are included in Corporate. All other corporate and centrally incurred costs
are allocated to the business segments based principally on revenue,
employees, square footage or usage. Therefore, the segment comparisons
below exclude the cost reduction items mentioned in note (b).
A summary of the company's operations by business segment for the three-
month periods ended March 31, 2008 and 2007 is presented below (in millions

h. For equipment manufactured by the company, the company warrants that it will
substantially conform to relevant published specifications for 12 months
after shipment to the customer. The company will repair or replace, at its
option and expense, items of equipment that do not meet this warranty. For
company software, the company warrants that it will conform substantially to
then-current published functional specifications for 90 days from customer's
receipt. The company will provide a workaround or correction for material
errors in its software that prevents its use in a production environment.
The company estimates the costs that may be incurred under its warranties
and records a liability in the amount of such costs at the time revenue is
recognized. Factors that affect the company's warranty liability include
the number of units sold, historical and anticipated rates of warranty
claims and cost per claim. The company quarterly assesses the adequacy of
its recorded warranty liabilities and adjusts the amounts as necessary.
Presented below is a reconciliation of the aggregate product warranty

i. Cash paid during the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007 for income
taxes was $6.9 million and $11.3 million, respectively.
Cash paid during the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007 for interest

j. Effective January 1, 2008, the company adopted Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 157, "Fair Value Measurements" (SFAS No. 157). SFAS
No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value
and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. This statement applies
under other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value
measurements. Accordingly, SFAS No. 157 does not require any new fair value
measurements. In February 2008, the FASB deferred the effective date for one
year for certain nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities. Adoption of
SFAS No. 157 did not have an impact on the company's consolidated results of
operations and financial position.
Effective January 1, 2008, the company adopted Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 159, "The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and
Financial Liabilities" (SFAS No. 159). SFAS No. 159 permits entities to choose
to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value.
Unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been
elected are reportable in earnings. Adoption of SFAS No. 159 did not have an
impact on the company's consolidated results of operations and financial
position.
12
In December 2007, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 141 (revised 2007), "Business Combinations" (SFAS No. 141R).
SFAS No. 141R replaces SFAS No. 141, "Business Combinations," and establishes
principles and requirements for how the acquirer: (a) recognizes and measures
in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities
assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree; (b) recognizes and
measures the goodwill acquired in the business combination or a gain from a
bargain purchase; and (c) determines what information to disclose to enable
users of the financial statements to evaluate the nature and financial effects
of the business combination. SFAS No. 141R applies prospectively to business
combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the
first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008, which is
January 1, 2009 for the company. An entity may not apply it before that date.
The company will adopt SFAS No. 141R for business combinations, if any, after
January 1, 2009.
In December 2007, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 160, "Noncontrolling Interest in Consolidated Financial
Statements" (SFAS No. 160). SFAS No. 160 describes a noncontrolling interest,
sometimes called a minority interest, as the portion of equity in a subsidiary
not attributable, directly or indirectly, to a parent. SFAS No. 160
establishes accounting and reporting standards that require, among other items:
(a) the ownership interests in subsidiaries held by parties other than the
parent be clearly identified, labeled, and presented in the consolidated
statement of financial position within equity, but separate from the parent's
equity; (b) the amount of consolidated net income attributable to the parent
and the noncontrolling interests be clearly identified and presented on the
face of the consolidated statement of income; and (c) entities provide
sufficient disclosures that clearly identify and distinguish between the
interests of the parent and the interests of the noncontrolling owners. SFAS
No. 160 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal
years, beginning on or after December 15, 2008, which is January 1, 2009 for
the company. Earlier adoption is prohibited. SFAS No. 160 shall be applied
prospectively as of the beginning of the fiscal year in which the statement is
initially applied, except for the presentation and disclosure requirements
which shall be applied retrospectively for all periods presented. The company
is currently assessing the impact of the adoption of SFAS No. 160 on its
consolidated results of operations and financial position.
k. There are various lawsuits, claims, investigations and proceedings that
have been brought or asserted against the company, which arise in the ordinary
course of business, including actions with respect to commercial and government
contracts, labor and employment, employee benefits, environmental matters and
intellectual property. In accordance with SFAS No. 5, "Accounting for
Contingencies," the company records a provision for these matters when it is
both probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can
be reasonably estimated. Any provisions are reviewed at least quarterly and
are adjusted to reflect the impact and status of settlements, rulings, advice
of counsel and other information and events pertinent to a particular matter.
The company believes that it has valid defenses with respect to legal
matters pending against it. Based on its experience, the company also believes
that the damage amounts claimed in the lawsuits disclosed below are not a
meaningful indicator of the company's potential liability. Litigation is
inherently unpredictable, however, and it is possible that the company's
results of operations or cash flow could be affected in any particular period
by the resolution of one or more of the legal matters pending against it.
In 2002, the company and the Transportation Security Administration (TSA)
entered into a competitively awarded contract providing for the establishment
of secure information technology environments in airports. The Civil Division
of the Department of Justice, working with the Inspector General's Office of
the Department of Homeland Security, is reviewing issues relating to labor
categorization and overtime on the TSA contract. The company is working
cooperatively with the Civil Division. The company does not know whether the
Civil Division will pursue the matter, or, if pursued, what effect this might
have on the company.

In April 2007, the Ministry of Justice of Belgium sued Unisys Belgium SA-NV,
a Unisys subsidiary (Unisys Belgium), in the Court of First Instance of
Brussels. The Belgian government had engaged the company to design and develop
software for a computerized system to be used to manage the Belgian court
system. The Belgian State terminated the contract and in its lawsuit has
alleged that the termination was justified because Unisys Belgium failed to
deliver satisfactory software in a timely manner. It claims damages of
approximately 28 million euros. Unisys Belgium believes it has valid defenses
to the claims and contends that the Belgian State's termination of the contract
was unjustified and caused millions of euros in damages to Unisys Belgium.
Unisys Belgium expects to file its defense and counterclaim no later than June
2008.
In December 2007, Lufthansa AG sued Unisys Deutschland GmbH, a Unisys
subsidiary (Unisys Germany), in the District Court of Frankfurt, Germany, for
allegedly failing to perform properly its obligations during the initial phase
of a 2004 software design and development contract relating to a Lufthansa
customer loyalty program. Under the contract, either party was free to
withdraw from the project at the conclusion of the initial design phase.
Rather than withdraw, Lufthansa instead terminated the contract and failed to
pay the balance owed to Unisys Germany for the initial phase. Lufthansa's
lawsuit alleges that Unisys Germany breached the contract by failing to deliver
a proper design for the new system and seeks approximately 21.4 million euros
in damages. Unisys Germany believes it has valid defenses and expects to file
its defense and counterclaim no later than June 2008.
Notwithstanding that the ultimate results of the lawsuits, claims,
investigations and proceedings that have been brought or asserted against the
company are not currently determinable, the company believes that at March 31,
2008, it has adequate provisions for any such matters.
l. Due to the establishment of a full valuation allowance for all of the
company's U.S. deferred tax assets and certain international subsidiaries in
2005, the company no longer has a meaningful effective tax rate. The company
will record a tax provision or benefit for those international subsidiaries
that do not have a full valuation allowance against their deferred tax assets.
Any profit or loss recorded for the company's U.S. operations will have no
provision or benefit associated with it. As a result, the company's provision
or benefit for taxes will vary significantly quarter to quarter depending on
the geographic distribution of income.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations.
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Overview
Since late 2005, the company has been implementing a comprehensive, multi-year
program to significantly enhance its profitability and competitive position in
the information technology market. The repositioning program has involved
fundamental changes to the company's business, from its strategic focus, to its
sales and marketing efforts, to its cost structure and service delivery model.
The program has also involved divestitures of non-core business areas, with the
proceeds used to fund the cost-reduction efforts.
During the first quarter of 2008, the company continued to improve its operating
profit despite some weakness in the U.S. business. The company's federal
business was impacted by contracting delays at certain federal agencies and the
company saw some unfavorable impact on its U.S. technology sales as
organizations tightened spending on information technology projects due to
economic concerns. Despite this, the company was able to continue to improve
profit margins in the services business as a result of the cost-reduction
actions over the past two years.
For the first quarter of 2008, the company reported operating profit of $28.0
million compared with an operating loss of $29.6 million in the year-ago period.
Services operating profit percent was 2.3% for the first quarter compared with
an operating loss percent of 1.0% in the year-ago period. For the first
quarter of 2008, the company reported a tax provision of $23.8 million compared
with a tax benefit of $26.6 million in the year-ago period, which included a
$39.4 million benefit for settlement of a tax audit. For the three months ended
March 31, 2008, the company reported a net loss of $23.4 million, or $.07 per
share, compared with net income of $3.6 million, or $.01 per share, for the
three months ended March 31, 2007.
Results of operations
Company results
Revenue for the quarter ended March 31, 2008 was $1.30 billion compared with
$1.35 billion for the first quarter of 2007, a decrease of 3% from the prior
year. This decrease was due to a 1% decrease in Services revenue and a 16%
decrease in Technology revenue. Foreign currency fluctuations had a
5-percentage-point positive impact on revenue in the current period compared
with the year-ago period. U.S. revenue declined 11% in the first quarter
compared with the year-ago period, principally driven by weakness in Federal
government revenue due in part to contracting delays at certain agencies and
reduced technology revenue as clients tightened spending on information
technology projects due to economic concerns. The U.S. decline was partially
offset by a 3% increase in revenue in international markets led by increases in
Latin America, Brazil, South Pacific and Japan which were partially offset by a
decline in Europe. On a constant currency basis, international revenue declined
6% in the three months ended March 31, 2008 compared with the three months
ended March 31, 2007.
During the three months ended March 31, 2007, the company committed to a
reduction of 966 employees. This resulted in a pretax charge in the quarter of
$32.7 million, principally related to severance costs. The pretax charge was
recorded in the following statement of income classifications: cost of revenue-
services, $25.0 million; selling, general and administrative expenses, $2.1
million; research and development expenses, $6.2 million; and other income
(expense), net, $.6 million. The income recorded in other income (expense),
net relates to the minority shareholders' portion of the charge related to
majority owned subsidiaries which are fully consolidated by the company. No
cost-reduction charges were recorded in the three months ended March 31, 2008;
however, a $3.3 million change in estimates was recorded as income in the
current quarter compared with $6.2 million of income in the year-ago period.
15
For the three months ended March 31, 2008 pension income was $11.5 million
compared with pension expense of $10.6 million for the three months ended March
31, 2007. The change in pension expense in 2008 from 2007 was principally due
to the amendments in the U.S. pension plans made in 2006 as well as increases
in worldwide discount rates and higher returns on plan assets worldwide. The
company records pension income or expense, as well as other employee-related
costs such as payroll taxes and medical insurance costs, in operating income in
the following income statement categories: cost of revenue; selling, general
and administrative expenses; and research and development expenses. The amount
allocated to each category is based on where the salaries of active employees
are charged.
Total gross profit margin was 22.5% in the three months ended March 31, 2008
compared with 19.1% in the three months ended March 31, 2007. Included in the
gross profit margin in 2007 were cost reduction charges of $25.0 million. The
increase in gross profit margin excluding these charges principally reflects
the benefits derived in 2008 from the prior-years cost reduction actions as
well as a decline in pension expense of $17.0 million (income of $9.1 million
in 2008 compared with expense of $7.9 million in 2007).
Selling, general and administrative expenses were $232.5 million for the three
months ended March 31, 2008 (17.9% of revenue) compared with $244.6 million
(18.1% of revenue) in the year-ago period. Included in selling, general and
administrative expense in 2007 were cost reduction charges of $2.1 million.
The decrease in selling, general and administrative expense excluding these
charges principally reflects the benefits derived in 2008 from the prior-years
cost reduction actions as well as a decline in pension expense of $3.6 million
(income of $.6 million in 2008 compared with expense of $3.0 million in 2007).
Research and development (R&D) expenses in the first quarter of 2008 were $32.7
million compared with $42.4 million in the first quarter of 2007. The company
continues to invest in proprietary operating systems, enterprise server
operating systems, middleware and in key programs within its industry practices.
Included in R&D expense in 2007 were cost reduction charges of $6.2 million.
The reduction in R&D in 2008 compared with 2007 excluding these charges
principally reflects the benefits derived in 2008 from the prior-years' cost
reduction actions.
For the first quarter of 2008, the company reported an operating profit of
$28.0 million compared with an operating loss of $29.6 million in the first
quarter of 2007. The principal items affecting the comparison of 2008 with
2007 were charges of $33.3 million in 2007 relating to the cost-reduction
actions, as well as the benefits derived in 2008 from the prior-years' cost
reduction actions. Also contributing to the increase in operating profit for
the three months ended March 31, 2008 compared with the year-ago period was a
decline in pension expense of $22.1 million (income of $11.5 million in 2008
compared with expense of $10.6 million in 2007).
Interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2008 was $21.6 million
compared with $18.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007. The
increase in interest expense was primarily due to increased interest rates
related to the refinancing of the $200 million 7 7/8% notes due 2008 with the
company's $210 million 12 1/2% notes due 2016.
Other income (expense), net, which can vary from period to period, was an
expense of $6.0 million in the first quarter of 2008, compared with income of
$25.5 million in 2007. Other income (expense) in 2007 principally reflects a
gain of $23.7 million on the sale of the company's media business (see note
(d)). In addition, for the three months ended March 31, 2008 other income
(expense) includes foreign exchange losses of $.3 million compared with gains
of $4.9 million in the year-ago period.
Income before income taxes for the three months ended March 31, 2008 was $.4
million compared with a loss of $23.0 million in 2007. The provision for
income taxes was $23.8 million in the current quarter compared with a benefit
of $26.6 million in the year-ago period. The tax benefit in the prior-year
period includes $39.4 million related to an income tax audit settlement (see
note (d)). Due to the establishment of a full valuation allowance for all of
the company's U.S. deferred tax assets and certain international subsidiaries
in 2005, the company no longer has a meaningful effective tax rate. The
company will record a tax provision or benefit for those international
subsidiaries that do not have a full valuation allowance against their deferred
tax assets. Any profit or loss recorded for the company's U.S. operations will
have no provision or benefit associated with it. As a result, the company's
provision or benefit for taxes will vary significantly quarter to quarter
depending on the geographic distribution of income.
In 2002, the company and the Transportation Security Administration (TSA)
entered into a competitively awarded contract providing for the establishment
of secure information technology environments in airports. The Civil Division
of the Department of Justice, working with the Inspector General's Office of
the Department of Homeland Security, is reviewing issues relating to labor
categorization and overtime on the TSA contract. The company is working
cooperatively with the Civil Division. The company does not know whether the
Civil Division will pursue the matter, or, if pursued, what effect this might
have on the company.

Segment results
The company has two business segments: Services and Technology. Revenue
classifications by segment are as follows: Services - systems integration and
consulting, outsourcing, infrastructure services and core maintenance;
Technology - enterprise-class servers and specialized technologies. The
accounting policies of each business segment are the same as those followed by
the company as a whole. Intersegment sales and transfers are priced as if the
sales or transfers were to third parties. Accordingly, the Technology segment
recognizes intersegment revenue and manufacturing profit on hardware and
software shipments to customers under Services contracts. The Services
segment, in turn, recognizes customer revenue and marketing profit on such
shipments of company hardware and software to customers. The Services segment
also includes the sale of hardware and software products sourced from third
parties that are sold to customers through the company's Services channels. In
the company's consolidated statements of income, the manufacturing costs of
products sourced from the Technology segment and sold to Services customers are
reported in cost of revenue for Services.
Also included in the Technology segment's sales and operating profit are sales
of hardware and software sold to the Services segment for internal use in
Services agreements. The amount of such profit included in operating income of
the Technology segment for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007 was
$5.5 million and $.5 million, respectively. The profit on these transactions
is eliminated in Corporate.
The company evaluates business segment performance on operating profit
exclusive of cost reduction charges and unusual and nonrecurring items, which
are included in Corporate. All other corporate and centrally incurred costs
are allocated to the business segments, based principally on revenue, employees,
square footage or usage. Therefore, the segment comparisons below exclude the
cost reduction items mentioned above.

In the Services segment, customer revenue was $1.14 billion for the three
months ended March 31, 2008 down 1.4% from the three months ended March 31,
2007. Foreign currency translation had a 5-percentage-point positive impact on
Services revenue in current quarter compared with the year-ago period.
Revenue from systems integration and consulting increased 0.4% from $342.6
million in the March 2007 quarter to $344.1 million in the March 2008 quarter.
Outsourcing revenue increased 5.4% for the three months ended March 31, 2008 to
$494.5 million compared with the three months ended March 31, 2007, led by
increases in both information technology outsourcing (ITO) and business
processing outsourcing (BPO).
Infrastructure services revenue declined 14.0% for the three month period ended
March 31, 2008 compared with the three month period ended March 31, 2007 due to
weakness in demand for network design and consulting projects, the shift of
project-based infrastructure work to managed outsourcing contracts and the
company's shift away from low-margin project work, all of which is expected to
continue.
Core maintenance revenue declined 9.2% in the current quarter compared with the
prior-year quarter. The company expects the secular decline of core maintenance
to continue.
Services gross profit was 18.5% in the first quarter of 2008 compared with
15.0% in the year-ago period. Services operating income (loss) percent was
2.3% in the three months ended March 31, 2008 compared with (1.0)% in the three
months ended March 31, 2007. The increase in Services margins was principally
due to the benefits derived from the cost reduction actions as well as a
decline in pension expense in gross profit of $16.5 million (income of $8.5
million for the three months ended March 31, 2008 compared with expense of $8.0
million in the year-ago period) and a decline in pension expense in operating
income of $19.4 million (income of $8.9 million for the three months ended
March 31, 2008 compared with expense of $10.5 million in the year-ago period).
In the Technology segment, customer revenue was $164 million in the current
quarter compared with $195 million in the year-ago period for a decrease of
15.8%. Foreign currency translation had a positive impact of approximately
5-percentage points on Technology revenue in the current period compared with
the prior-year period.
Revenue for the company's enterprise-class servers, which includes the
company's ClearPath and ES7000 product families, decreased 14.4% for the three
months ended March 31, 2008 compared with the three months ended March 31, 2007.
As mentioned above, U.S. technology sales during the quarter slowed down as
clients tightened spending on information technology projects due to economic
concerns. The company expects the secular decline of enterprise-class servers
to continue.
18
Revenue from specialized technologies, which includes the company's payment
systems products, third-party technology products and royalties from the
company's agreement with NUL, decreased 20.8% for the three months ended March
31, 2008 compared with the three months ended March 31, 2007. The decline
primarily reflects lower payment systems revenue. Revenue from NUL will
decline beginning in the second quarter of 2008 due to expiration of the one-
time fixed royalty fee of $225 million under an agreement executed in 2005.
The company recognized $18.8 million per quarter under this royalty agreement
over the three-year period ended March 31, 2008.
Technology gross profit was 42.9% in the current quarter compared with 43.3% in
the year-ago quarter. Technology operating income percent was .8% in the three
months ended March 31, 2008 compared with 3.5% in the three months ended March
31, 2007. The decline in revenue and operating profit margin in 2008 compared
with 2007 primarily reflects the continuing secular decline in enterprise
servers.
New accounting pronouncements
See note (j) of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for a full
description of recent accounting pronouncements, including the expected dates
of adoption and estimated effects on results of operations and financial
condition.
Financial condition
Cash and cash equivalents at March 31, 2008 were $490.2 million compared with
$830.2 million at December 31, 2007.
During the three months ended March 31, 2008, cash used for operations was
$49.3 million compared with cash usage of $104.3 million for the three months
ended March 31, 2007. Cash expenditures in the current quarter related to cost-
reduction actions (which are included in operating activities) were
approximately $21 million compared with $50 million for the prior-year quarter.
Cash expenditures for prior year cost-reduction actions are expected to be
approximately $32 million for the remainder of 2008, resulting in an expected
cash expenditure of approximately $53 million in 2008 compared with $151.7
million in 2007.
Cash used for investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2008
was $94.6 million compared with cash usage of $58.8 million during the three
months ended March 31, 2007. Items affecting cash used for investing
activities were the following: Net purchases of investments were $29.3 million
for the three months ended March 31, 2008 compared with net purchases of $3.0
million in the prior-year period. Proceeds from investments and purchases of
investments represent derivative financial instruments used to manage the
company's currency exposure to market risks from changes in foreign currency
exchange rates. In addition, in the current quarter, the investment in
marketable software was $22.4 million compared with $24.3 million in the year-
ago period, capital additions of properties were $14.6 million in 2008 compared
with $19.3 million in 2007 and capital additions of outsourcing assets were
$27.9 million in 2008 compared with $39.3 million in 2007. Cash used for
investing activities in the three months ended March 31, 2007 includes $28.3
million of proceeds from the sale of the company's media business.
Cash used for financing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2008
was $200.8 million compared with $5.9 million of cash provided during the three
months ended March 31, 2007. The decrease was principally due to the January
2008 redemption, at par, of all $200 million of the company's 7 7/8% senior
notes due April 1, 2008.
At March 31, 2008, total debt was $1.07 billion, a decrease of $197.6 million
from December 31, 2007.
The company has a three-year, secured revolving credit facility which expires
in 2009 that provides for loans and letters of credit up to an aggregate of
$275 million. Borrowings under the facility bear interest based on short-term
rates and the company's credit rating. The credit agreement contains customary
representations and warranties, including no material adverse change in the
company's business, results of operations or financial condition. It also
contains financial covenants requiring the company to maintain certain interest
coverage, leverage and asset coverage ratios and a minimum amount of liquidity,
which could reduce the amount the company is able to borrow. The credit
facility also includes covenants limiting liens, mergers, asset sales,
dividends and the incurrence of debt. Events of default include nonpayment,
failure to perform covenants, materially incorrect representations and
warranties, change of control and default under other debt aggregating at least
$25 million. If an event of default were to occur under the credit agreement,
the lenders would be entitled to declare all amounts borrowed under it
immediately due and payable. The occurrence of an event of default under the
credit agreement could also cause the acceleration of obligations under certain
other agreements and the termination of the company's U.S. trade accounts
receivable facility, discussed below. The credit facility is secured by the
company's assets, except that the collateral does not include accounts
receivable that are subject to the receivable facility, U.S. real estate or the
stock or indebtedness of the company's U.S. operating subsidiaries. As of March
31, 2008, there were letters of credit of $67.2 million issued under the
facility and there were no cash borrowings.
19
In addition, the company and certain international subsidiaries have access to
uncommitted lines of credit from various banks. Other sources of short-term
funding are operational cash flows, including customer prepayments, and the
company's U.S. trade accounts receivable facility.
Under the accounts receivable facility, the company has agreed to sell, on an
ongoing basis, through Unisys Funding Corporation I, a wholly owned subsidiary,
interests in up to $300 million of eligible U.S. trade accounts receivable.
The receivables are sold at a discount that reflects a margin based on, among
other things, the company's then-current S&P and Moody's credit rating. The
facility may be terminated by the purchasers if the company's corporate rating
is below B by S&P or B2 by Moody's and requires the maintenance of certain
ratios related to the sold receivables. At March 31, 2008, the company's
corporate rating was B+ and B2 by S&P and Moody's, respectively. In December
2007, the facility was amended to provide that the termination date would be
May 28, 2008. The company is currently negotiating a replacement of this
facility and expects to have it in place on or before May 28, 2008. At March
31, 2008 and December 31, 2007, the company had sold $113 million and $140
million, respectively, of eligible receivables.
At March 31, 2008, the company has met all covenants and conditions under its
various lending and funding agreements. The company expects to continue to
meet these covenants and conditions. The company believes that it will have
adequate sources and availability of short-term funding to meet its expected
cash requirements.
The company may, from time to time, redeem, tender for, or repurchase its
securities in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions depending
upon availability, market conditions and other factors.
The company has on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission a
registration statement covering $440 million of debt or equity securities, which
enables the company to be prepared for future market opportunities.
Stockholders' equity decreased $16.3 million during the three months ended
March 31, 2008, principally reflecting a net loss of $23.4 million and foreign
currency translation losses of $13.5 million. Partially offsetting these
declines was an improvement of $6.0 million in the funded status of the
company's defined benefit plans and $14.8 million from share-based plans.
Factors that may affect future results
From time to time, the company provides information containing "forward-looking"
statements, as defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.
Forward-looking statements provide current expectations of future events and
include any statement that does not directly relate to any historical or
current fact. Words such as "anticipates," "believes," "expects," "intends,"
"plans," "projects" and similar expressions may identify such forward-looking
statements. All forward-looking statements rely on assumptions and are subject
to risks, uncertainties and other factors that could cause the company's actual
results to differ materially from expectations. Factors that could affect
future results include, but are not limited to, those discussed below. Any
forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which that statement is
made. The company assumes no obligation to update any forward-looking statement
to reflect events or circumstances that occur after the date on which the
statement is made.
20
Factors that could affect future results include the following:
THE COMPANY'S BUSINESS IS AFFECTED BY CHANGES IN GENERAL ECONOMIC AND BUSINESS
CONDITIONS. The company continues to face a highly competitive business
environment. If the level of demand for the company's products and services
declines in the future, the company's business could be adversely affected. The
company's business could also be affected by acts of war, terrorism or natural
disasters. Current world tensions could escalate, and this could have
unpredictable consequences on the world economy and on the company's business.
Although the company has not seen an impact in its business caused by the
recent turmoil in the credit markets, if the turmoil spills over into the
general economy and it results in a recession, the company's business could be
impacted.
THE COMPANY FACES AGGRESSIVE COMPETITION IN THE INFORMATION SERVICES AND
TECHNOLOGY MARKETPLACE. The information services and technology markets in
which the company operates include a large number of companies vying for
customers and market share both domestically and internationally. The company's
competitors include consulting and other professional services firms, systems
integrators, outsourcing providers, infrastructure services providers, computer
hardware manufacturers and software providers. Some of the company's
competitors may develop competing products and services that offer better price-
performance or that reach the market in advance of the company's offerings.
Some competitors also have or may develop greater financial and other resources
than the company, with enhanced ability to compete for market share, in some
instances through significant economic incentives to secure contracts. Some
also may be better able to compete for skilled professionals. Any of these
factors could have an adverse effect on the company's business. Future results
will depend on the company's ability to mitigate the effects of aggressive
competition on revenues, pricing and margins and on the company's ability to
attract and retain talented people.
THE COMPANY FACES VOLATILITY AND RAPID TECHNOLOGICAL CHANGE IN ITS INDUSTRY.
The company operates in a highly volatile industry characterized by rapid
technological change, evolving technology standards, short product life cycles
and continually changing customer demand patterns. Future success will depend
in part on the company's ability to anticipate and respond to these market
trends and to design, develop, introduce, deliver or obtain new and innovative
products and services on a timely and cost-effective basis. The company may not
be successful in anticipating or responding to changes in technology, industry
standards or customer preferences, and the market may not demand or accept its
services and product offerings. In addition, products and services developed by
competitors may make the company's offerings less competitive.
THE COMPANY'S FUTURE RESULTS WILL DEPEND ON THE SUCCESS OF ITS REPOSITIONING
STRATEGY. The company's future results will depend in part on the success of
its efforts to control and reduce costs through the development and use of low-
cost subsidiaries and low-cost offshore and global sourcing models. Future
results will also depend in part on the success of the company's focused
investment and sales and marketing strategies. These strategies are based on
various assumptions, including assumptions regarding market segment growth,
client demand, and the proper skill set of and training for sales and
marketing management and personnel, all of which are subject to change.
Furthermore, the company's institutional stockholders may attempt to influence
these strategies.
THE COMPANY'S FUTURE RESULTS WILL DEPEND ON ITS ABILITY TO RETAIN SIGNIFICANT
CLIENTS. The company has a number of significant long-term contracts with
clients, including governmental entities, and its future success will depend,
in part, on retaining its relationships with these clients. The company could
lose clients due to contract expiration, conversion to a competing service
provider, disputes with clients or a decision to in-source services, including
for contracts with governmental entities as part of the rebid process. The
company could also lose clients as a result of their merger, acquisition or
business failure. The company may not be able to replace the revenue and
earnings from any such lost client.
THE COMPANY'S FUTURE RESULTS WILL DEPEND IN PART ON ITS ABILITY TO GROW
OUTSOURCING. The company's outsourcing contracts are multiyear engagements
under which the company takes over management of a client's technology
operations, business processes or networks. In a number of these arrangements,
the company hires certain of its clients' employees and may become responsible
for the related employee obligations, such as pension and severance commitments.
In addition, system development activity on outsourcing contracts may require
the company to make significant upfront investments. The company will need to
have available sufficient financial resources in order to take on these
obligations and make these investments.
21
Recoverability of outsourcing assets is dependent on various factors, including
the timely completion and ultimate cost of the outsourcing solution, and
realization of expected profitability of existing outsourcing contracts. These
risks could result in an impairment of a portion of the associated assets,
which are tested for recoverability quarterly.
As long-term relationships, outsourcing contracts provide a base of recurring
revenue. However, outsourcing contracts are highly complex and can involve the
design, development, implementation and operation of new solutions and the
transitioning of clients from their existing business processes to the new
environment. In the early phases of these contracts, gross margins may be
lower than in later years when an integrated solution has been implemented, the
duplicate costs of transitioning from the old to the new system have been
eliminated and the work force and facilities have been rationalized for
efficient operations. Future results will depend on the company's ability to
effectively and timely complete these implementations, transitions and
rationalizations. Future results will also depend on the company's ability to
continue to effectively address its challenging outsourcing operations through
negotiations or operationally and to fully recover the associated outsourcing
assets.
FUTURE RESULTS WILL ALSO DEPEND IN PART ON THE COMPANY'S ABILITY TO DRIVE
PROFITABLE GROWTH IN CONSULTING AND SYSTEMS INTEGRATION. The company's ability
to grow profitably in this business will depend on the level of demand for
systems integration projects and the portfolio of solutions the company offers
for specific industries. It will also depend on an improvement in the
utilization of services delivery personnel and on the company's ability to work
through disruptions in this business related to the repositioning actions. In
addition, profit margins in this business are largely a function of the rates
the company is able to charge for services and the chargeability of its
professionals. If the company is unable to attain sufficient rates and
chargeability for its professionals, profit margins will suffer. The rates the
company is able to charge for services are affected by a number of factors,
including clients' perception of the company's ability to add value through its
services; introduction of new services or products by the company or its
competitors; pricing policies of competitors; and general economic conditions.
Chargeability is also affected by a number of factors, including the company's
ability to transition employees from completed projects to new engagements, and
its ability to forecast demand for services and thereby maintain an appropriate
headcount.
FUTURE RESULTS WILL ALSO DEPEND, IN PART, ON MARKET DEMAND FOR THE COMPANY'S
HIGH-END ENTERPRISE SERVERS AND MAINTENANCE ON THESE SERVERS. In the company's
technology business, high-end enterprise servers and maintenance on these
servers continue to experience secular revenue declines. The company continues
to apply its resources to develop value-added software capabilities and
optimized solutions for these server platforms which provide competitive
differentiation. Future results will depend, in part, on customer acceptance
of new ClearPath systems and the company's ability to maintain its installed
base for ClearPath and to develop next-generation ClearPath products that are
purchased by the installed base. In addition, future results will depend, in
part, on the company's ability to generate new customers and increase sales of
the Intel-based ES7000 line. The company believes there is growth potential in
the market for high-end, Intel-based servers running Microsoft and Linux
operating system software. However, the company's ability to succeed will
depend on its ability to compete effectively against enterprise server
competitors with more substantial resources and its ability to achieve market
acceptance of the ES7000 technology by clients, systems integrators and
independent software vendors. Future results of the technology business will
also depend, in part, on the successful execution of the company's arrangements
with NEC.
THE COMPANY'S CONTRACTS WITH U.S. GOVERNMENTAL AGENCIES MAY BE SUBJECT TO
AUDITS, CRIMINAL PENALTIES, SANCTIONS AND OTHER EXPENSES AND FINES. The
company frequently enters into contracts with governmental entities. U.S.
government agencies, including the Defense Contract Audit Agency and the
Department of Labor, routinely audit government contractors. These agencies
review a contractor's performance under its contracts, cost structure and
compliance with applicable laws, regulations and standards. The U.S. government
also may review the adequacy of, and a contractor's compliance with contract
terms and conditions, its systems and policies, including the contractor's
purchasing, property, estimating, accounting, compensation and management
information systems. Any costs found to be overcharged or improperly allocated
to a specific contract will be subject to reimbursement to the government. If an
audit uncovers improper or illegal activities, the company may be subject to
civil and criminal penalties and administrative sanctions, including termination
of contracts, forfeiture of profits, suspension of payments, fines and
suspension or prohibition from doing business with the U.S. government.
22
THE COMPANY'S CONTRACTS MAY NOT BE AS PROFITABLE AS EXPECTED OR PROVIDE THE
EXPECTED LEVEL OF REVENUES. A number of the company's long-term contracts for
infrastructure services, outsourcing, help desk and similar services do not
provide for minimum transaction volumes. As a result, revenue levels are not
guaranteed. In addition, some of these contracts may permit customer
termination or may impose other penalties if the company does not meet the
performance levels specified in the contracts.
The company's contracts with governmental entities are subject to the
availability of appropriated funds. These contracts also contain provisions
allowing the governmental entity to terminate the contract at the governmental
entity's discretion before the end of the contract's term. In addition, if the
company's performance is unacceptable to the customer under a government
contract, the government retains the right to pursue remedies under the
affected contract, which remedies could include termination.
Certain of the company's outsourcing agreements require that the company's
prices be benchmarked and provide for a downward adjustment to those prices if
the pricing for similar services in the market has changed. As a result,
anticipated revenues from these contracts may decline.
Some of the company's systems integration contracts are fixed-price contracts
under which the company assumes the risk for delivery of the contracted
services and products at an agreed-upon fixed price. At times the company has
experienced problems in performing some of these fixed-price contracts on a
profitable basis and has provided periodically for adjustments to the estimated
cost to complete them. Future results will depend on the company's ability to
perform these services contracts profitably.
THE COMPANY MAY FACE DAMAGE TO ITS REPUTATION OR LEGAL LIABILITY IF ITS CLIENTS
ARE NOT SATISFIED WITH ITS SERVICES OR PRODUCTS. The success of the company's
business is dependent on strong, long-term client relationships and on its
reputation for responsiveness and quality. As a result, if a client is not
satisfied with the company's services or products, its reputation could be
damaged and its business adversely affected. Allegations by private litigants
or regulators of improper conduct, as well as negative publicity and press
speculation about the company, whatever the outcome and whether or not valid,
may harm its reputation. For example, in September 2007, an article in the
Washington Post alleged that the FBI is investigating the company in connection
with its alleged failure to detect cyber intrusions at the Department of
Homeland Security, a client of the company, and its alleged failure to disclose
these security breaches once detected. The company disputed the allegations
made in the article. In addition to harm to reputation, if the company fails
to meet its contractual obligations, it could be subject to legal liability,
which could adversely affect its business, operating results and financial
condition.
FUTURE RESULTS WILL DEPEND IN PART ON THE PERFORMANCE AND CAPABILITIES OF THIRD
PARTIES. The company has commercial relationships with suppliers, channel
partners and other parties that have complementary products, services or skills.
The company has announced that alliance partnerships with select IT companies
are a key factor in the development and delivery of the company's refocused
portfolio. Future results will depend, in part, on the performance and
capabilities of these third parties, on the ability of external suppliers to
deliver components at reasonable prices and in a timely manner, and on the
financial condition of, and the company's relationship with, distributors and
other indirect channel partners.
THE COMPANY IS SUBJECT TO THE RISKS OF DOING BUSINESS INTERNATIONALLY. More
than half of the company's total revenue is derived from international
operations. The risks of doing business internationally include foreign
currency exchange rate fluctuations, changes in political or economic
conditions, trade protection measures, import or export licensing requirements,
multiple and possibly overlapping and conflicting tax laws, new tax
legislation, weaker intellectual property protections in some jurisdictions and
additional legal and regulatory compliance requirements applicable to
businesses that operate internationally, including the Foreign Corrupt
Practices Act and non-U.S. laws and regulations.
23
THE COMPANY COULD FACE BUSINESS AND FINANCIAL RISK IN IMPLEMENTING FUTURE
ACQUISITIONS OR DISPOSITIONS. As part of the company's business strategy, it
may from time to time consider acquiring complementary technologies, products
and businesses and disposing of existing technologies, products and businesses
that may no longer be in alignment with its strategic direction, including
transactions of a material size. Any acquisitions may result in the incurrence
of substantial additional indebtedness or contingent liabilities. Acquisitions
could also result in potentially dilutive issuances of equity securities and an
increase in amortization expenses related to intangible assets. Additional
potential risks associated with acquisitions include integration difficulties;
difficulties in maintaining or enhancing the profitability of any acquired
business; risks of entering markets in which the company has no or limited
prior experience; potential loss of employees or failure to maintain or renew
any contracts of any acquired business; and expenses of any undiscovered or
potential liabilities of the acquired product or business, including relating
to employee benefits contribution obligations or environmental requirements.
Potential risks with respect to dispositions include difficulty finding buyers
or alternative exit strategies on acceptable terms in a timely manner;
potential loss of employees; and dispositions at unfavorable prices or on
unfavorable terms, including relating to retained liabilities. Further, with
respect to both acquisitions and dispositions, management's attention could be
diverted from other business concerns. The risks associated with acquisitions
and dispositions could have a material adverse effect upon the company's
business, financial condition and results of operations. There can be no
assurance that the company will be successful in consummating future
acquisitions or dispositions on favorable terms or at all.
THE COMPANY'S SERVICES OR PRODUCTS MAY INFRINGE UPON THE INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY
RIGHTS OF OTHERS. The company cannot be sure that its services and products do
not infringe on the intellectual property rights of third parties, and it may
have infringement claims asserted against it or against its clients. These
claims could cost the company money, prevent it from offering some services or
products, or damage its reputation.
PENDING LITIGATION COULD AFFECT THE COMPANY'S RESULTS OF OPERATIONS OR CASH
FLOW. There are various lawsuits, claims, investigations and proceedings that
have been brought or asserted against the company, which arise in the ordinary
course of business, including actions with respect to commercial and government
contracts, labor and employment, employee benefits, environmental matters and
intellectual property. See note (k) of the notes to financial statements for
more information on litigation. The company believes that it has valid defenses
with respect to legal matters pending against it. Litigation is inherently
unpredictable, however, and it is possible that the company's results of
operations or cash flow could be affected in any particular period by the
resolution of one or more of the legal matters pending against it.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures
--------------------------------
The Company's management, with the participation of the Company's Chief
Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness
of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2008.
Based on this evaluation, the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief
Financial Officer concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and
procedures were not effective as of March 31, 2008 due to the material weakness
at December 31, 2007, described below. To address the material weakness
referenced below, the Company performed additional analysis and performed other
procedures in order to prepare the unaudited quarterly consolidated financial
statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the
United States of America (U.S. GAAP). Accordingly, management believes that
the consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form
10-Q fairly present, in all material respects, our financial condition, results
of operations and cash flows for the periods presented.
As previously reported in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K, as filed
with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 29, 2008, in connection
with Company's assessment of the effectiveness of its internal control over
financial reporting at the end of its last fiscal year, management identified
the following material weakness in the Company's internal control over
financial reporting as of December 31, 2007 that is in the process of being
remediated as of March 31, 2008: it did not have a sufficient number of
personnel with an appropriate level of U.S. GAAP knowledge and experience
commensurate with its financial reporting requirements. This section of Item 4,
"Controls and Procedures," should be read in conjunction with Item 9A,
"Controls and Procedures," included in the Company's Form 10-K for the year
ended December 31, 2007, for additional information on Management's Report on
Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting.
Management is working to address the material weakness and is committed to
remediate the material weakness as timely as possible. The Company plans to
remediate its material weakness through the following actions:
* The Company has hired a new corporate controller and reassigned
responsibilities among key accounting personnel,
* The Company will add personnel with an appropriate level of U.S. GAAP tax
knowledge and experience to its income tax accounting function and provide
additional income tax accounting training to personnel responsible for its
foreign subsidiaries,
* The Company will add personnel with an appropriate level of U.S. GAAP
accounting knowledge and experience in two locations, and
* The Company will continue to supplement existing resources with consultants
where needed.
Management believes that the above actions, when fully implemented, will be
effective in remediating this material weakness. However, the Company's
material weakness will not be considered remediated until the above personnel
are in place for a period of time and the controls are tested and management
concludes that these controls are properly designed and operating effectively.
The evaluation discussed above identified a change in the Company's internal
control over financial reporting regarding the implementation, as of January 1,
2008, of a financial management and project accounting system, in the Company's
Federal government group. This system is expected to increase the efficiency
of processing transactions and produce more accurate and timely information to
address the various operational and compliance needs of the Company's Federal
government group. The Company conducted and will continue to conduct post-
implementation monitoring to ensure internal control over financial reporting
is properly designed and operating effectively. To date, the Company has not
experienced any significant difficulties in connection with the implementation
or operation of this system.
