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 preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and
accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates and
assumptions.
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 loss per share was computed for the three and

At June 30, 2008 and 2007, 34.3 million and 39.6 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 inclusion of stock options
in the computation would have been antidilutive.
b. In October 2005, the company announced a plan to reduce its cost structure.
As part of this plan, during the three months ended June 30, 2007, the company
consolidated facility space and committed to an additional reduction of 551
employees. This resulted in a pretax charge in the quarter of $33.3 million.
The charge related to work force reductions of $19.8 million is broken down as
follows: (a) 425 employees in the U.S. for a charge of $12.0 million and (b) 126
employees outside the U.S. for a charge of $7.8 million. The facility charge of
$13.5 million principally relates to leased property that the company ceased
using as of June 30, 2007. The facility charge represents the fair value of the
liability at the cease-use date and was determined based on the remaining lease
rental payments, reduced by estimated sublease rentals that could be reasonably
obtained for the property. The pretax charge was recorded in the following
statement of income classifications: cost of revenue-services, $6.8 million;
cost of revenue-technology, $.5 million; selling, general and administrative
expenses, $16.5 million; research and development expenses, $9.7 million; and
other income (expense), net, $.2 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.
6
For the six months ended June 30, 2007, pretax charges of $66.0 million were
recorded in the following statement of income classifications: cost of revenue-
services, $31.8 million; cost of revenue-technology, $.5 million; selling,
general and administrative expenses, $18.6 million; research and development
expenses, $15.9 million; and other income (expense), net, $.8 million.
There were no additional cost-reduction charges recorded during the three and
six months ended June 30, 2008; however, a $2.5 million change in estimate was
recorded as expense in the current quarter compared with $9.5 million recorded
as income in the year-ago period, and a $.8 million change in estimates was
recorded as income in the current six-month period compared with $15.7 million
recorded as income in the year-ago six-month period. In addition, during the
three months ended June 30, 2008, the company recorded a pretax charge of $5.5
million in selling, general and administrative expense related to a lease
guarantee.

In April 2008, the company adopted changes to certain of its U.K. defined
benefit pension plans whereby effective June 30, 2008 all future accruals of
benefits under the plans ceased. As a result of this change, the company
recorded a pretax curtailment loss of $1.5 million in the second quarter of
2008. In addition, the company has enhanced its contributions to certain U.K.
defined contribution plans, effective July 1, 2008. The changes to the U.K.
plans are part of a global effort by the company to provide a competitive
retirement program while controlling the level and volatility of retirement
costs.
The company currently expects to make cash contributions of approximately $82
million to its worldwide defined benefit pension plans in 2008 compared with
$78.7 million in 2007. For the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, $38.5
million and $34.3 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 six
months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 was $26.7 million and $26.0 million,
respectively. During the three months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, the company
recorded an expense for a true-up match related to the prior year in the amount
of $3.5 million and $1.0 million, respectively.
Net periodic postretirement benefit expense for the three and six months ended

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 six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, $10.2 million and $16.7
million, respectively, of cash contributions have been made.

d. In February 2007, the company sold its media business for gross proceeds of
$27.7 million and recognized a pretax gain of $23.1 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 June 30, 2008,
the company has granted non-qualified stock options and restricted stock units
under these plans. At June 30, 2008, 22.0 million shares of unissued common
stock of the company were available for granting under these plans.
For the six months ended June 30, 2008, 168,000 stock options were granted;
there were no stock options granted during the six months ended June 30, 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:
Six Months Ended June 30,
----------------------------
2008 2007
---- ----
Weighted-average fair value of grant $1.64 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 six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, the company recorded $11.9
million and $5.5 million of share-based compensation expense, respectively,
which is comprised of $11.6 million and $5.3 million of restricted stock unit
expense and $.3 million and $.2 million of stock option expense, respectively.

The aggregate intrinsic value represents the pretax value of 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 June 30, 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 six months ended
June 30, 2008 was zero since no options were exercised and the amount for the
six months ended June 30, 2007 was $2.8 million. As of June 30, 2008, $.6
million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to stock options is
expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.8 years.

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 six months ended
June 30, 2008 and 2007 was $4.12 and $8.32, respectively. As of June 30, 2008,
there was $36.2 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 1.8 years. The
total fair value of restricted share units vested during the six months ended
June 30, 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 six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 was
zero and $11.3 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 June 30, 2008 and 2007 was
$5.7 million and $1.3 million, respectively. The amount for the six months
ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 was $11.2 million and $1.8 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).

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 customers 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 liability (in millions of

i. Cash paid during the six months ended June 30, 2008 for income taxes was
$25.0 million compared with net cash refunds received during the six months
ended June 30, 2007 of $30.1 million, respectively.
Cash paid during the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 for interest was
$38.2 million and $41.8 million, respectively.
During the six months ended June 30, 2007, the company financed $22.7 million of
internal use software licenses.
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.
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.
14
In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, "Disclosures about Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities" (SFAS No. 161). SFAS No. 161 requires
enhanced disclosures about (a) how and why an entity uses derivative
instruments, (b) how derivative instruments and related hedged items are
accounted for under SFAS No. 133 and its related interpretations, and (c) how
derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity's financial
position, financial performance and cash flows. SFAS No. 161 is effective for
financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after
November 15, 2008, which is January 1, 2009 for the company.
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 has
filed its defense and counterclaim in the amount of approximately 18.5 million
euros.
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 has filed its defense and
counterclaim in the amount of 1.5 million euros.
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 June 30,
2008, it has adequate provisions for any such matters.
15
l. The company accounts for income taxes in accordance with SFAS No. 109,
"Accounting for Income Taxes," which requires that deferred tax assets and
liabilities be recognized using enacted tax rates for the effect of temporary
differences between the book and tax bases of recorded assets and liabilities.
SFAS No. 109 also requires that deferred tax assets be reduced by a valuation
allowance if it is more likely than not that some portion or the entire deferred
tax asset will not be realized.
The company evaluates quarterly the realizability of its deferred tax assets by
assessing its valuation allowance and by adjusting the amount of such allowance,
if necessary. The factors used to assess the likelihood of realization are the
company's forecast of future taxable income and available tax-planning
strategies that could be implemented to realize the net deferred tax assets.
The company has used tax-planning strategies to realize or renew net deferred
tax assets to avoid the potential loss of future tax benefits.
In 2005, based upon the level of historical taxable income and projections of
future taxable income over the periods during which the deferred tax assets are
deductible, management concluded that it is more likely than not that the U.S.
and certain foreign deferred tax assets in excess of deferred tax liabilities
would not be realized. A full valuation allowance was recognized in 2005 and is
currently maintained for all U.S. and certain foreign deferred tax assets in
excess of deferred tax liabilities. 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. In addition, in recent
months, the company has been working with its Board of Directors on evaluating
portfolio rationalization options to unlock value in the company's business and
drive growth and success in the marketplace.
The company has made significant progress in enhancing its profitability as a
result of the repositioning program. For the first half of 2008, the company
reported operating profit of $50.6 million compared with an operating loss of
$27.1 million in the year-ago period. Services operating profit percent was
2.8% for the first half compared with 0.8% in the year-ago period. However, in
the second quarter of 2008, the company's revenue and profitability have been
impacted by a weaker economic environment, particularly in the financial
services industry, as well as the ending of $18.8 million of quarterly royalty
revenue from a 2005 intellectual property agreement with Nihon Unisys Ltd. (NUL)
that ended on March 31. In addition, in June 2008, the company learned of the
decision by the U.S. Transportation Security Administration (TSA) that it had
not selected the company to continue on to Phase 2 of the procurement for TSA's
Information Technology Infrastructure Program (ITIP) contract providing for the
establishment of secure information technology environments in airports. The
company has filed a protest disputing this decision. The company began working
for the TSA shortly after the agency was established and was instrumental in
creating and managing the IT infrastructure that enabled the TSA to be mission-
ready by November 2002. For 2007 the company recognized revenue of
approximately $225 million from the TSA.
16
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
COMPANY RESULTS
Revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2008 was $1.34 billion compared with
$1.38 billion for the three months ended June 30, 2007, a decrease of 3% from
the prior year. This decrease was due to a 1% decrease in Services revenue and
a 14% decrease in Technology revenue. Foreign currency fluctuations had a 4-
percentage-point positive impact on revenue in the current period compared with
the year-ago period. U.S. revenue declined 3% in the second quarter compared
with the year-ago period. International revenue declined 2% in the current
quarter compared with the year-ago period principally due to declines in Europe
and Japan, offset in part by increases in Latin America, Brazil, Asia and South
Pacific. On a constant currency basis, international revenue declined 10% in
the three months ended June 30, 2008 compared with the three months ended June
30, 2007.
During the three months ended June 30, 2007, the company consolidated facility
space and committed to an additional reduction of 551 employees. This resulted
in a pretax charge in the quarter of $33.3 million. The charge related to work
force reductions of $19.8 million is broken down as follows: (a) 425 employees
in the U.S. for a charge of $12.0 million and (b) 126 employees outside the U.S.
for a charge of $7.8 million. The facility charge of $13.5 million principally
relates to leased property that the company ceased using as of June 30, 2007.
The facility charge represents the fair value of the liability at the cease-use
date and was determined based on the remaining lease rental payments, reduced by
estimated sublease rentals that could be reasonably obtained for the property.
The pretax charge was recorded in the following statement of income
classifications: cost of revenue-services, $6.8 million; cost of revenue-
technology, $.5 million; selling, general and administrative expenses, $16.5
million; research and development expenses, $9.7 million; and other income
(expense), net, $.2 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.
There were no additional cost-reduction charges recorded during the three months
ended June 30, 2008; however, a $2.5 million change in estimates was recorded as
expense in the current quarter compared with a $9.5 million change in estimate
recorded as income in the year-ago period.
During the three months ended June 30, 2008, the company recorded a pretax
charge of $5.5 million in selling, general and administrative expense related to
a lease guarantee (see note (b)).
For the three months ended June 30, 2008 pension income was $8.8 million
compared with pension expense of $11.4 million for the three months ended June
30, 2007. The change in pension expense in 2008 from 2007 was principally due
to increases in worldwide discount rates and prior years' 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 22.7% in the three months ended June 30, 2008
compared with 21.8% in the three months ended June 30, 2007. Included in the
gross profit margin in 2007 were cost reduction charges of $7.3 million. The
change 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 $15.0 million (income of $6.6 million in 2008
compared with expense of $8.4 million in 2007).
Selling, general and administrative expenses were $251.0 million for the three
months ended June 30, 2008 (18.7% of revenue) compared with $247.4 million
(18.0% of revenue) in the year-ago period. Included in selling, general and
administrative expense in 2008 was $5.5 million of expense related to the lease
guarantee, discussed above, as well as higher pre-sales costs related to a
number of large federal and public sector engagements. Included in 2007 were
cost reduction charges of $16.5 million. The change in selling, general and
administrative expense also reflects the benefits derived in 2008 from the
prior-years cost reduction actions as well as a decline in pension expense of
$3.8 million (income of $.6 million in 2008 compared with expense of $3.2
million in 2007).
17
Research and development (R&D) expenses in the second quarter of 2008 were $30.2
million compared with $49.5 million in the second 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 $9.7 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 second quarter of 2008, the company reported an operating profit of
$22.6 million compared with $2.5 million in the second quarter of 2007. The
principal items affecting the comparison of 2008 with 2007 are discussed above.
Interest expense for the three months ended June 30, 2008 was $21.2 million
compared with $18.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 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 $11.8 million in the second quarter of 2008, compared with expense of
$8.7 million in 2007. The change was principally due to foreign exchange gains
and losses; a $1.4 million gain was incurred in the three months ended June 30,
2007 compared with a $2.5 million loss for the three months ended June 30, 2008.
Income (loss) before income taxes for the three months ended June 30, 2008 was a
loss of $10.4 million compared with a loss of $24.9 million in 2007. The
provision for income taxes was $3.6 million in the current quarter compared with
$40.6 million in the year-ago period. Included in the current period tax
provision is a benefit of $5.1 million related to prior years' intercompany
royalties. The net loss for the three months ended June 30, 2008 was $14.0
million, or $.04 per share, compared with a net loss of $65.5 million, or $.19
per share, for the three months ended June 30, 2007.
As discussed in note (l), the company accounts for income taxes in accordance
with SFAS No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes." The company evaluates
quarterly the realizability of its deferred tax assets by assessing its
valuation allowance and by adjusting the amount of such allowance, if necessary.
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.
Revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2008 was $2.64 billion compared with
$2.72 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2007, a decrease of 3% from the
prior year. This decrease was due to a 1% decrease in Services revenue and a
15% 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. On a constant currency basis, international revenue
declined 8% in the six months ended June 30, 2008 compared with the six months
ended June 30, 2007.
For the six months ended June 30, 2008 pension income was $20.3 million compared
with pension expense of $22.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007.
Total gross profit margin was 22.6% in the six months ended June 30, 2008
compared with 20.4% in the six months ended June 30, 2007. Included in the
gross profit margin in 2007 were cost reduction charges of $32.3 million. The
change in gross profit margin reflects the benefits derived in 2008 from the
prior-years' cost reduction actions as well as a decline in pension expense of
$32.0 million (income of $15.7 million in 2008 compared with expense of $16.3
million in 2007).
Selling, general and administrative expenses were $483.5 million for the six
months ended June 30, 2008 (18.3% of revenue) compared with $492.0 million
(18.1% of revenue) in the year-ago period. Included in selling, general and
administrative expense in 2008 was $5.5 million of expense related to a lease
guarantee (discussed above), as well as higher pre-sales costs related to a
number of large federal and public sector engagements. Included in 2007 were
cost reduction charges of $18.6 million. The change in selling, general and
administrative expense also reflects the benefits derived in 2008 from the
prior-years cost reduction actions as well as a decline in pension expense of
$7.4 million (income of $1.2 million in 2008 compared with expense of $6.2
million in 2007).
18
Research and development (R&D) expenses in the first half of 2008 were $62.9
million compared with $91.9 million in the first half of 2007. Included in R&D
expense in 2007 were cost reduction charges of $15.9 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 half of 2008, the company reported an operating profit of $50.6
million compared with an operating loss of $27.1 million in the first half of
2007. The principal items affecting the comparison of 2008 with 2007 are
discussed above.
Interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2008 was $42.8 million
compared with $37.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007. The
increase in interest expense was primarily due to increased interest rates
related to the refinancing discussed above.
Other income (expense), net was an expense of $17.8 million for the six months
ended June 30, 2008, compared with income of $16.8 million in 2007. Other
income (expense) for the six months ended June 30, 2007 principally reflects a
gain of $23.1 million on the sale of the company's media business (see note
(d)). In addition, for the six months ended June 30, 2008, other income
(expense) includes foreign exchange losses of $2.8 million compared with gains
of $6.3 million in the year-ago period.
Income (loss) before income taxes for the six months ended June 30, 2008 was a
loss of $10.0 million compared with a loss of $47.9 million in 2007. The
provision for income taxes was $27.4 million in the current period compared with
$14.0 million in the year-ago period. Included in the current period tax
provision is a benefit of $5.1 million related to prior years' intercompany
royalties. The tax provision in the prior year six-month period included a
$39.4 million benefit related to the Netherlands income tax audit settlement
(see note (d)).
For the six months ended June 30, 2008, the company reported a net loss of $37.4
million, or $.10 per share, compared with a net loss of $61.9 million, or $.18
per share, for the six months ended June 30, 2007. The prior year six-month
period includes pretax charges relating to cost reduction actions of $66.0
million.
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 June 30, 2008 and 2007 was
$5.7 million and $1.3 million, respectively. The amount for the six months
ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 was $11.2 million and $1.8 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 $1.20 billion for the three months
ended June 30, 2008 down 1.0% from the three months ended June 30, 2007.
Foreign currency translation had a 4-percentage-point positive impact on
Services revenue in current quarter compared with the year-ago period.
Revenue from systems integration and consulting increased 5.0% from $370.8
million in the June 2007 quarter to $389.4 million in the June 2008 quarter.
Outsourcing revenue increased 3.1% for the three months ended June 30, 2008 to
$520.2 million compared with the three months ended June 30, 2007, led by an
increase in information technology outsourcing (ITO).
20
Infrastructure services revenue declined 14.4% for the three month period ended
June 30, 2008 compared with the three month period ended June 30, 2007 due to
weakness in demand for network design and consulting projects and the shift of
project-based infrastructure work to managed outsourcing contracts, all of which
is expected to continue.
Core maintenance revenue declined 12.3% in the current quarter compared with the
prior-year quarter. The decline in core maintenance was due to the secular
decline in core maintenance as well as lower maintenance on high-volume, high-
margin check sorting equipment. The company expects the high single-digit
secular decline of core maintenance to continue.
Services gross profit was 19.2% in the second quarter of 2008 compared with
17.3% in the year-ago period. Services operating profit percent was 3.3% in the
three months ended June 30, 2008 compared with 2.5% in the three months ended
June 30, 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 $14.6 million (income of $6.1 million for the three
months ended June 30, 2008 compared with expense of $8.5 million in the year-ago
period) and a decline in pension expense in operating income of $17.8 million
(income of $6.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2008 compared with
expense of $11.3 million in the year-ago period).
In the Technology segment, customer revenue was $143 million in the current
quarter compared with $167 million in the year-ago period for a decrease of
14.4%. The decline in Technology revenue reflects the NUL revenue decline
beginning in the current quarter due to expiration of the one-time fixed royalty
fee of $225 million under an agreement executed in 2005. The company had
recognized revenue of $18.8 million per quarter ($8.5 million in enterprise-
class servers and $10.3 million in specialized technologies) under this royalty
agreement over the three-year period ended March 31, 2008. The expiration of
this royalty from NUL contributed almost 11 percentage points of the technology
segment's 14% decline in revenue. 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 10.1% for the three months
ended June 30, 2008 compared with the three months ended June 30, 2007. The
company expects the secular decline of enterprise-class servers to continue.
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 28.3% for the three months ended June
30, 2008 compared with the three months ended June 30, 2007. The decline was
principally due to the ending of the NUL royalties, discussed above.
Technology gross profit was 39.2% in the current quarter compared with 43.3% in
the year-ago quarter. Technology operating loss percent was (3.7)% in the three
months ended June 30, 2008 compared with (.6)% in the three months ended June
30, 2007. The decline in operating profit margin in 2008 compared with 2007
primarily reflects the NUL revenue decline, discussed above, as well as the
continuing secular decline in enterprise servers.

Services gross profit was 18.8% in the first half of 2008 compared with 16.2% in
the year-ago period. Services operating profit percent was 2.8% in the six
months ended June 30, 2008 compared with .8% in the six months ended June 30,
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 $31.1 million (income of $14.6 million for the six months
ended June 30, 2008 compared with expense of $16.5 million in the year-ago
period) and a decline in pension expense in operating income of $37.2 million
(income of $15.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008 compared with
expense of $21.8 million in the year-ago period).
22
In the Technology segment, customer revenue was $307 million in the current
period compared with $362 million in the year-ago period for a decrease of
15.2%. The decline in Technology revenue reflects the NUL revenue decline of
$18.8 million per quarter beginning in the June 2008 quarter, as discussed
above. 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 12.4% for the six months ended

(loss) percent was (1.4)% in the current period compared with 1.5% in the year-
ago period. The decline in operating profit margin in 2008 compared with 2007
primarily reflects the NUL revenue decline discussed above as well as 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 June 30, 2008 were $471.4 million compared with
$830.2 million at December 31, 2007.
During the six months ended June 30, 2008, cash provided by operations was $2.3
million compared with cash usage of $81.1 million for the six months ended June
30, 2007. The improvement in operating cash flow was primarily driven by a
lower net loss and working capital management. In addition, the prior year
period included a tax refund of approximately $58 million. Cash expenditures in
the current-year period related to cost-reduction actions (which are included in
operating activities) were approximately $43 million compared with $87 million
for the prior-year period. Cash expenditures for prior year cost-reduction
actions are expected to be approximately $15 million for the remainder of 2008,
resulting in an expected cash expenditure of approximately $58 million in 2008
compared with $151.7 million in 2007.
Cash used for investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2008 was
$167.5 million compared with cash usage of $139.7 million during the six months
ended June 30, 2007. Items affecting cash used for investing activities were
the following: Net purchases of investments were $29.6 million for the six
months ended June 30, 2008 compared with net proceeds of $1.4 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 period, the investment in marketable software was $45.4
million compared with $48.9 million in the year-ago period, capital additions of
properties were $32.1 million in 2008 compared with $39.8 million in 2007 and
capital additions of outsourcing assets were $58.6 million in 2008 compared with
$78.5 million in 2007. Cash used for investing activities in the six months
ended June 30, 2007 included $27.7 million of proceeds from the sale of the
company's media business. During the six months ended June 30, 2007, the
company financed $22.7 million of internal use software licenses.
Cash used for financing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2008 was
$200.8 million compared with $10.7 million of cash provided during the six
months ended June 30, 2007. The change 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 June 30, 2008, total debt was $1.06 billion, a decrease of $199.1 million
from December 31, 2007.
23
The company has a three-year, secured revolving credit facility which expires in
May 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 June 30, 2008, there were letters
of credit of $64.5 million issued under the facility and there were no cash
borrowings.
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.
On May 16, 2008, the company entered into a new three-year, U.S. trade
accounts receivable facility. Under this facility, the company has agreed to
sell, on an ongoing basis, through Unisys Funding Corporation I, a wholly owned
subsidiary, up to $150 million of interests in eligible U.S. trade accounts
receivable. The facility replaces the company's U.S. trade accounts receivable
facility that was scheduled to terminate on May 28, 2008. Under the new
facility, receivables are sold at a discount that reflects, among other things,
a yield based on LIBOR. The new facility includes customary representations and
warranties, including no material adverse change in the company's business,
assets, liabilities, operations or financial condition. It also requires the
company to maintain a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio and requires the
maintenance of certain ratios related to the sold receivables. The facility will
be subject to early termination if, as of February 28, 2010, the company's
6.875% Senior Notes due 2010 have not been refinanced or extended to a date
later than May 16, 2011. Other termination events include failure to perform
covenants, materially incorrect representations and warranties, change of
control and default under debt aggregating at least $25 million. At both June
30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, the company had sold $140 million of eligible
receivables.
At June 30, 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 increased $23.8 million during the six months ended
June 30, 2008, principally reflecting an improvement of $25.4 million in the
funded status of the company's defined benefit plans and $35.8 million from
share-based plans. Partially offsetting these increases was a net loss of
$37.4 million.
24
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.
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 is currently facing a difficult economic environment
that has affected its business. In particular, weakness in the financial
services industry contributed to the decline in the company's revenue in the
second quarter of 2008. In addition, 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.
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.
25
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.
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.
26
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.
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.
27
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.
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 June 30, 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 June 30, 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.
28
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 June 30, 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 has added and will add additional 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.
