AFFILIATED COMPUTER SERVICES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Affiliated Computer Services, Inc., (the Company) is a Fortune 500 and S&P 500 company with
approximately 62,000 employees providing business process outsourcing and information technology
services to commercial and government clients. We were incorporated in Delaware on June 8, 1988 and
our corporate headquarters are located in Dallas, Texas. Our clients have time-critical,
transaction-intensive business and information processing needs, and we typically service these
needs through long-term contracts.
The consolidated financial statements are comprised of our accounts and the accounts of our
controlled subsidiaries. All significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been
eliminated in consolidation. The year-end condensed balance sheet data was derived from audited
financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America. The financial information presented should be
read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements for the year ended June 30, 2007.
The foregoing unaudited consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments which are, in the
opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the results of the interim period. The
results for the interim period are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the
year.
Significant accounting policies are detailed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year
ended June 30, 2007.
We present cost of revenues in our Consolidated Statements of Income based on the nature of the
costs incurred. Substantially all these costs are incurred in the provision of services to our
customers. The selling, general and administrative costs included in cost of revenues are not
material and are not separately presented in the Consolidated Statements of Income.
2. DEASON/CERBERUS PROPOSAL
On March 20, 2007, we received a proposal from Darwin Deason, our Chairman, and Cerberus Capital
Management, L.P. (Cerberus), on behalf of certain funds and accounts managed by it or its
affiliates to acquire all of the outstanding shares of the Company for $59.25 per share in cash,
other than certain shares and options held by Mr. Deason and members of our management team. On
April 21, 2007, we received a revised proposal from Mr. Deason and Cerberus to acquire, for a cash
purchase price of $62 per share, all of the outstanding shares of our common stock, other than
certain shares and options held by Mr. Deason and members of our management team that would be
rolled into equity securities of the acquiring entity in connection with the proposed transaction.
In connection with this proposal Mr. Deason entered into an Exclusivity Agreement with Cerberus.
On October 30, 2007, Cerberus withdrew its offer to
acquire the Company.
During the first quarter of fiscal year 2008,
we recognized approximately $4.1 million in legal and
other costs related to this potential transaction and $0.8 million related to shareholder
derivative lawsuits related to this potential transaction. Through September 30, 2007, we have
recognized approximately $8.1 million in legal and other costs related to this potential
transaction and $2.8 million related to shareholder derivative lawsuits related to this potential
transaction.

Goodwill activity for the first three months of fiscal year 2008 was primarily due to contingent
consideration payments earned during the quarter on prior year acquisitions. Approximately $2.1
billion, or 78.6%, of the original gross amount of goodwill recorded is deductible for income tax
purposes.

Aggregate amortization includes amounts charged to amortization expense for customer-related
intangibles and other intangibles, other than contract inducements. Amortization of contract
inducements of $3.7 million and $3.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2007 and
2006, respectively, is recorded as a reduction of related contract revenue. Amortization expense
includes approximately $11 million and $10.2 million for acquired customer-related intangibles for
the three months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Amortization expense includes
approximately $6.4 million and $4.8 million for customer-related and all other intangibles for the
three months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Amortizable intangible assets are
amortized over the related contract term. The amortization period of customer-related intangible
assets ranges from 1 to 17 years, with a weighted average of approximately 10 years. The
amortization period for all other intangible assets, including trademarks, ranges from 3 to 20
years, with a weighted average of approximately 6 years.

4. DEBT
Senior
Notes
On June 6, 2005, we completed a public offering of $250 million aggregate principal amount of 4.70%
Senior Notes due June 1, 2010 and $250 million aggregate principal amount of 5.20% Senior Notes due
June 1, 2015 (collectively, the Senior Notes). Interest on the Senior Notes is payable
semiannually. The net proceeds from the offering of approximately $496 million, after deducting
underwriting discounts, commissions and expenses, were used to repay a portion of the outstanding
balance of our Prior Facility. We may redeem some or all of the Senior Notes at any time prior to
maturity, which may include prepayment penalties determined according to pre-established criteria.
The Senior Notes were issued pursuant to that certain Indenture dated June 6, 2005 (which, along
with any Supplemental Indentures entered into subsequent thereto and in connection therewith, is
referred to as the Indenture) between us and The Bank of New York Trust Company, N.A. (BONY),
as trustee, with the Wilmington Trust Company having replaced BONY as trustee on December 19, 2006
(the Trustee). Please see Note 10 for a discussion of the forward interest rate hedges related
to the issuance of the Senior Notes.
As the result of our failure to timely file our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the period ending
June 30, 2006 by September 13, 2006, certain holders of the Senior Notes sent various notices
alleging that we were in default of our covenants under the Indenture. Subsequently, those certain
holders declared an acceleration of the Senior Notes, as a result of our failure to remedy the
purported default set forth in their earlier notices and demanded payment of all amounts owed in
respect of the Senior Notes.
It is our position that no default has occurred under the Indenture and that no acceleration has
occurred with respect to the Senior Notes or otherwise under the Indenture. Further we have filed a
lawsuit against the Trustee in the United States District Court, Northern District of Texas, Dallas
Division, seeking a declaratory judgment affirming our position. The Trustee filed an answer and
counterclaim seeking immediate payment of all principal and accrued and unpaid interest on the
Senior Notes. Alternatively, the counterclaim seeks damages measured by the difference between the
fair market value of the Senior Notes on or about September 22, 2006 and par value of the Senior
Notes.
Unless and until there is a final judgment rendered in the lawsuit described above (including any
appellate proceedings), no legally enforceable determination can be made as to whether the failure
to timely file our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the period ending June 30, 2006 is a default
under the Indenture as alleged by the letters referenced above. If there is a final legally
enforceable determination that the failure to timely file our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the
period ending June 30, 2006 is a default under the Indenture, and that acceleration with respect to
the Senior Notes was proper, the principal and premium, if any, and all accrued and unpaid
interest, if any, on the Senior Notes would be immediately due and payable.
In the event the claim of default against us made by certain holders of the Senior Notes is upheld
in a court of law and we are required to pay off the Senior Notes, it is most likely that we would
utilize cash on hand and borrowings under our Credit Agreement with Citicorp USA, Inc., as
Administrative Agent (Citicorp), Citigroup Global Markets Inc., as Sole Lead Arranger and Book
Runner, and with Morgan Stanley Bank, SunTrust Bank, Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi UFJ, Ltd., Wachovia
Bank National Association, Bank of America, N.A., Bear Stearns Corporate Lending and Wells Fargo
Bank, N.A., as Co-Syndication Agents, and various other lenders and issuers (the Credit Facility)
to fund such payoff. Under the terms of the Credit Facility, we can utilize borrowings under the
Revolving Credit Facility, subject to certain liquidity requirements, or may seek additional
commitments for funding under the Term Loan Facility of the Credit Facility. We estimate we have
sufficient liquidity to meet both the needs of our operations and any potential payoff of the
Senior Notes. While we do have availability under our Credit Facility to draw funds to repay the
Senior Notes, there may be a decrease in our credit availability that could otherwise be used for
other corporate purposes, such as acquisitions and share repurchases.
If our Senior Notes are refinanced or the determination is made that the outstanding balance is due
to the noteholders, the remaining unrealized loss on forward interest rate agreements reported in
other comprehensive income of $13.1 million ($8.2 million, net of income tax), unamortized deferred
financing costs of $2.5 million ($1.6 million, net of income tax) and unamortized discount of $0.5
million ($0.4 million, net of income tax) associated with our Senior Notes as of September 30, 2007
may be adjusted and reported as interest expense in our Consolidated Statement of Income in the
period of refinancing or demand.
Credit
Facility
On September 26, 2006, we received an amendment, consent and waiver from the lenders under our
Credit Facility with respect to, among other provisions, waiver of any default or event of default
arising under the Credit Facility as a result of our failure to comply with certain reporting
covenants relating to other indebtedness, including covenants purportedly requiring the filing of
reports with

(UNAUDITED)
either the SEC or the holders of such indebtedness, so long as those requirements were
complied with by December 31, 2006. As consideration for this amendment, consent and waiver, we
paid a fee of $2.6 million.

Contributions
We made contributions to the pension plans of approximately $5.7 million in the three months ended
September 30, 2007. We expect to contribute approximately $14 million during fiscal year 2008.
6. INCOME TAXES
Effective July 1, 2007, we adopted the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB)
Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes an interpretation of FASB
Statement No. 109 (FIN 48), which clarifies the accounting for and disclosure of uncertainty in
tax positions. Additionally, FIN 48 provides guidance on the recognition, measurement,
de-recognition, classification and disclosure of tax positions and on the accounting for related
interest and penalties. As a result of the implementation of
FIN 48, we recognized an $11 million
(net of tax benefit) increase in the reserves for uncertain tax positions, of which $8.8 million
(net of tax benefit) was attributable to the accrual of interest and penalties. These amounts were
recognized as a decrease to retained earnings of $9.9 million, an increase to deferred tax
assets of $1 million and an increase to income taxes
receivable of $0.1 million. Following our adoption of FIN 48, the gross balance of unrecognized tax
benefits was $54.5 million at July 1, 2007, which excludes $9 million of offsetting tax benefits,
primarily from international tax treaties which provide for potential relief from double taxation.
The net unrecognized tax benefits of $45.5 million include $41.5 million that, if recognized, would
benefit our effective income tax rate.
We recognize accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as a component of
income tax expense. Accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits were
approximately $8.8 million (net of tax benefit) as of July 1, 2007, and $9.7 million (net of tax
benefit) as of September 30, 2007. We do not anticipate a significant change to the total amount
of these unrecognized tax benefits within the next 12 months.
We file income tax returns in various jurisdictions in which we operate, including U.S. Federal,
U.S. state and numerous foreign jurisdictions. We are currently subject to U.S. Federal income tax
examinations for fiscal years 2000 and after, and are currently under examination for fiscal years
2000 through 2004. In addition, we are subject to income tax examinations in various foreign
jurisdictions for fiscal years 2001 and after.
Our effective income tax rate decreased to 35.2% in the first quarter of fiscal year 2008 from 37%
in the first quarter of fiscal year 2007. Our effective income tax rate decreased primarily due to
an increase in other deductions and credits, as well as interest accrued on expected tax refunds in
accordance with the provisions of FIN 48. Our effective income tax rate is higher than the 35%
federal statutory rate primarily due to the effect of state income taxes.

7. EQUITY
Share repurchase program
In August 2006, our Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase program of up to $1 billion of
our Class A common stock. The program, which is open ended, allows us to repurchase our shares on
the open market, from time to time, in accordance with the requirements of the Securities and
Exchange Commission (SEC) rules and regulations, including shares that could be purchased
pursuant to SEC Rule 10b5-1. The number of shares to be purchased and the timing of purchases will
be based on the level of cash and debt balances, general business conditions, and other factors, including alternative investment
opportunities. No repurchases have been made under the August 2006 authorization as of the date of
this filing. If any repurchases are made, such repurchases would be funded from cash on hand and
borrowings under our Credit Facility.
Stock option grants
During the December 9, 2006 Compensation Committee meeting, it was recognized that the grants made
to Mr. Blodgett and Mr. Rexford were for a number of shares that were less than the number of
shares that would have been normally granted to a new CEO and new CFO because of the limited
number of options remaining available under the 1997 Stock Incentive Plan. The Compensation
Committee noted that it should consider a future grant to supplement the number of options made in
the earlier grant so that the aggregate number of shares granted to Mr. Blodgett and Mr. Rexford
would be equal to the number that would normally be granted to a new CEO and new CFO. To
accomplish this purpose, at a meeting on July 2, 2007, the Committee approved option grants (the
Grants) to Lynn Blodgett to purchase 60,000 shares of the Companys Class A Common Stock under
the 2007 Equity Incentive Plan and to John Rexford to purchase 25,000 shares of the Companys
Class A Common Stock under the 2007 Equity Incentive Plan, subject to the waiver of the Stock
Option Grant Policy by the Board of Directors, which occurred on July 9, 2007 and on which date
the Grants became effective.
Stock option repricing
Please see Note 13 for a discussion of the repricing of certain outstanding stock options, our
tender offer to amend certain options and results of the tender offer, as well as our offer to
former employees.

Additional dilution from assumed exercises of stock options is dependent upon several factors,
including the market price of our common stock. Options to purchase approximately 8,248,000 and
6,282,000 shares of common stock during the three months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006,
respectively, were outstanding but were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per
share because the average market price of the underlying stock did not exceed the sum of the option
exercise price, unrecognized compensation expense and the windfall tax benefit.
The calculation of diluted earnings per share requires us to make certain assumptions related to
the use of proceeds that would be received upon the assumed exercise of stock options. These
assumed proceeds include the excess tax benefit that we receive upon assumed exercises. We
calculate the assumed proceeds from excess tax benefits based on the deferred tax assets actually
recorded

without consideration of as if deferred tax assets calculated under the provisions of Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based Payment (SFAS 123(R)).
9. COMPREHENSIVE INCOME
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 130, Reporting Comprehensive Income (SFAS 130),
establishes standards for reporting and display of comprehensive income and its components in
financial statements. The objective of SFAS 130 is to report a measure of all changes in equity of
an enterprise that result from transactions and other economic events of the period other than
transactions with owners. Comprehensive income is the total of net income and all other non-owner
changes within a companys equity.

10. DERIVATIVES AND HEDGING INSTRUMENTS
Interest rate hedges
In March 2007, we entered into a five-year amortizing interest rate swap agreement. As of September
30, 2007 and June 30, 2007, the notional amount of the agreement totaled $700 million. The
agreement is designated as a cash flow hedge of forecasted interest payments on up to $700 million
outstanding floating rate debt under our Credit Facility. The interest rate swap is structured
such that we pay a fixed rate of interest of 4.897%, and receive a floating rate of interest based
on one month LIBOR. The fair value of the agreement of $(4.4 million) and $8.1 million at
September 30, 2007 and June 30, 2007 reflects termination cash value. The unrealized loss as of
September 30, 2007 of $4.4 million ($2.8 million, net of income tax) and the unrealized gain as of
June 30, 2007 of $8.1 million ($5.3 million, net of income tax), was reflected in accumulated other
comprehensive income. As of September 30, 2007, the fair market value of $(4.4 million) is
reflected in other long-term liabilities. As of June 30, 2007, the fair market value of $8.1
million

is reflected in other assets.
In order to hedge the variability of future interest payments related to our Senior Notes issuance,
we entered into forward interest rate agreements in April 2005. The agreements were designated as
cash flow hedges of forecasted interest payments in anticipation of the issuance of the Senior
Notes. The notional amount of the agreements totaled $500 million and the agreements were
terminated in June 2005 upon issuance of the Senior Notes. The settlement of the forward interest
rate agreements of $19 million ($12 million, net of income tax) was recorded in accumulated other
comprehensive income, to be amortized as an increase in reported interest expense over the term of
the Senior Notes, with approximately $2.5 million to be amortized over the next 12 months. During
both the first quarter of fiscal years 2008 and 2007, we amortized approximately $0.6 million ($0.4
million, net of income tax) to interest expense. The amount of gain or loss related to hedge
ineffectiveness was not material.
Foreign currency forward agreements
We hedge the variability of a portion of our anticipated future Mexican peso cash flows through
foreign exchange forward agreements. The agreements are designated as cash flow hedges of
forecasted payments related to certain operating costs of our Mexican operations. As of September
30, 2007 and June 30, 2007, the notional amount of these agreements totaled 312 million pesos
(approximately $28.6 million and $28.9 million at September 30, 2007 and June 30, 2007,
respectively). These agreements expire at various dates over the next 12 months. Upon termination
of these agreements, we will purchase Mexican pesos at the exchange rates specified in the forward
agreements to be used for payments on our forecasted Mexican peso operating costs. As of September
30, 2007 and June 30, 2007, the unrealized gain on these foreign exchange forward agreements,
reflected in accumulated other comprehensive income was $0.2 million ($0.1 million, net of income
tax) and $0.6 million ($0.4 million, net of income tax), respectively. The fair market value of
$0.2 million and $0.6 million as of September 30, 2007 and June 30, 2007, respectively, is
reflected in other current assets.
In December 2005, we completed the acquisition of the Transport Revenue division of Ascom AG
(Transport Revenue). As part of the Transport Revenue acquisition, we acquired foreign exchange
forward agreements that hedge our French operations Euro foreign exchange exposure related to its
Canadian dollar and U.S. dollar revenues. These agreements do not qualify for hedge accounting
under SFAS 133. As a result, we recorded a loss on hedging instruments of approximately $0.2
million ($0.1 million, net of income tax) for the first quarter of fiscal year 2008 and
approximately $0.8 million ($0.5 million, net of income tax) for the first quarter of fiscal year
2007 in other non-operating income, net in our Consolidated Statements of Income. As of September
30, 2007 and June 30, 2007, the notional amount of these agreements totaled 25.1 million Euros
(approximately $35.8 million) and 25.2 million Euros (approximately $33.9 million), respectively,
and are set to expire at various times over the next three years. A liability was recorded for the
related fair value of approximately $(4.7 million) and $(4.3 million) as of September 30, 2007 and
June 30, 2007, respectively.

11. SEGMENT INFORMATION
During the first quarter of fiscal year 2008, we reorganized the internal operating and reporting
structures in our Commercial and Government segments to more formally align our sales, service
delivery and financial organizations under its appropriate leadership. As a result, we have
restated our Commercial and Government segment results for prior periods to reflect our current
operating and reporting structure. The restatement has no impact on our consolidated results for
the period of restatement.

12. RESTRUCTURING ACTIVITIES
During fiscal year 2006, we began a comprehensive assessment of our operations, including our
overall cost structure, competitive position, technology assets and operating platform and foreign
operations. As a result, we began restructuring initiatives and activities that are expected to
enhance our competitive position in certain markets, and recorded restructuring charges and asset
impairments arising from our discretionary decisions. As of June 30, 2007, approximately 2,500
employees were involuntarily terminated as a result of these initiatives, consisting primarily of
offshore processors and related management; however, we anticipate that a majority of these
positions would be migrated to lower cost markets. The following table summarizes the activity for
the accrual for involuntary termination of employees for the three months ended September 30, 2007

We substantially completed the integration of the human resources consulting and outsourcing
businesses acquired from Mellon Financial Corporation (the Acquired HR Business) in the fourth
quarter of fiscal year 2006. The integration included the elimination of redundant facilities,
marketing and overhead costs, and the consolidation of processes from the historical cost structure
of the acquired organization. The liabilities recorded at closing for the Acquired HR Business
include $22.3 million in involuntary employee termination costs for employees of the Acquired HR
Business in accordance with Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 95-3 Recognition of Liabilities

13. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Regulatory Agency Investigations Relating to Stock Option Grant Practices
On March 3, 2006, we received notice from the SEC that it was conducting an investigation into
certain stock option grants made by us from October 1998 through March 2005. On June 7, 2006 and
on June 16, 2006, we received requests from the SEC for information on all of our stock option
grants since 1994. We have been providing supplemental information to the SEC on a voluntary basis
following the initial SEC requests. The Company has learned that the SEC obtained a formal order
of investigation in this matter in August 2006. We are continuing to cooperate with the SECs
investigation.
On May 17, 2006, we received a grand jury subpoena from the United States District Court, Southern
District of New York, requesting production of documents related to granting of our stock option
grants. We have responded to the grand jury subpoena and have provided documents to the United
States Attorneys Office in connection with the grand jury proceeding. We have informed the SEC and
the United States Attorneys Office for the Southern District of New York of the results of our
internal investigation into our stock option grant practices and will continue to cooperate with
these governmental entities and their investigations.
We initiated an internal investigation of our stock option grant practices in response to the
pending informal investigation by the SEC and a subpoena from a grand jury in the Southern District
of New York. The investigation reviewed our historical stock option grant practices during the
period from 1994 through 2005, including all 73 stock option grants made by us during this period,
and the related disclosure in our Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2006, filed May 15,
2006 (the May 2006 Form 10-Q). The results of our internal investigation are fully disclosed in
our Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2006.
Subsequent to the delivery of the results of the investigation, we, with the approval of our Audit
Committee, determined that the cumulative non-cash stock-based compensation expense adjustment and
related income tax effects was material. Our decision to restate our financial statements was based
on the facts obtained by management and the special committee. We determined that the cumulative,
pre-tax, non-cash stock-based compensation expense resulting from revised measurement dates was
approximately $51.2 million during the period from our initial public offering in 1994 through June
30, 2006. The corrections relate to options covering approximately 19.4 million shares. Previously
reported total revenues were not impacted by our restatement. The impact of the restatement on
each year of our previously issued financial statements is more fully disclosed in our Annual
Report on Form 10-K/A for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2006.
Related income tax effects included deferred income tax benefits on the compensation expense, and
additional income tax liabilities and estimated penalties and interest related to the application
of Internal Revenue Code Section 162(m) and related Treasury Regulations (Section 162(m)) to
stock-based executive compensation previously deducted, that was no longer deductible as a result
of revised measurement dates of certain stock option grants. We also included in our restatements
additional income tax liabilities and estimated penalties and interest, with adjustments to
additional paid-in capital and income tax expense, related to certain cash and stock-based
executive compensation deductions previously taken under Section 162(m), which we believed may be
non-deductible as a result of information that has been obtained by us in connection with our
internal investigation, due to factors unrelated to revised measurement dates. We recorded
approximately $33.4 million of additional income taxes, estimated penalties and interest related to
disallowed Section 162(m) executive compensation deductions resulting from revised measurement
dates. At this time, we cannot predict when these Section 162(m) issues will be resolved; however,
during the third quarter of fiscal year 2007, we paid approximately $35 million of estimated income
taxes, penalties and interest related to Section 162(m) issues in order to reduce future
12

(UNAUDITED)
interest that would accrue on the amounts of estimated taxes, penalties and interest. This payment
is reflected in cash flows from operating activities at June 30, 2007.
In December 2006, we amended the exercise price of outstanding stock options of certain current
executive officers, other executive officers and former executive officers in order to re-price all
or a portion of the respective option grant to the correct accounting measurement date to avoid
adverse tax consequences to individual option holders under Section 409A of the Internal Revenue
Code. We will pay cash payments in the aggregate amount of $2.4 million in accordance with the
terms of the amendment, which will be paid in the third quarter of fiscal year 2008 from cash flows
from operating activities. Of the $2.4 million cash payment, approximately $0.5 million was
charged to wages and benefits in our Consolidated Statement of Income in fiscal year 2007, and the
balance was charged to additional paid-in capital in our Consolidated Balance Sheet.
On June 18, 2007, we initiated a tender offer to amend certain options (the Eligible Options) to
purchase an aggregate of 1,703,650 shares (as amended) of our Class A common stock in order to
re-price all or a portion of the respective option grant to the correct accounting measurement date
to avoid adverse tax consequences to individual option holders under Section 409A of the Internal
Revenue Code. The Eligible Options included options that (i) were granted under our 1997 Stock
Incentive Plan, as amended; (ii) had exercise prices per share that were less, or may have been
less, than the fair market value per share of ACS on the revised measurement dates for such
options, as determined by us for accounting and tax purposes; (iii) were unexercised and unvested,
either in whole or in part, as of January 1, 2005; (iv) were outstanding as of the expiration time
of this tender offer; and (v) were held by individuals who (x) were employed by the Company through
the expiration time of this tender offer (other than any executive officer or director) and (y) are
subject to income taxation in the United States. Eligible participants could elect to (i) amend
Eligible Options to increase the exercise price per share to the fair market value of the Companys
Class A common stock on the respective options measurement date and (ii) receive a cash payment
equal to the difference between the new exercise price per share of each amended option and the
original exercise price per share of such amended option, multiplied by the number of unexercised
shares of the Companys Class A common stock subject to such amended option.
The tender offer expired on July 17, 2007. Pursuant to the offer, we accepted for amendment options
to purchase 1,696,650 shares of our Class A common stock, which represented 99.6% of the shares of
our Class A common stock subject to all Eligible Options. We will pay cash payments in the
aggregate amount of $4.0 million in accordance with the terms of the tender offer, which will be
paid in the third quarter of fiscal year 2008 from cash flows from operating activities. During
the first quarter of fiscal year 2008, we charged approximately $1.3 million to wages and benefits
in our Consolidated Statement of Income and charged the balance of the estimated cash payments to
additional paid-in capital in our Consolidated Balance Sheet. This payment will be made in the
third quarter of fiscal year 2008 from cash flow from operating activities.
In July 2007, we notified certain former employees with vested, unexercised and outstanding options
which had exercise prices per share that were less, or may have been less, than the fair market
value per share of ACS on the revised measurement dates for such options, as determined by us for
accounting and tax purposes, that we will pay them the additional 20% income tax imposed by Section
409A based on the excess, if any, of the fair market value of our Class A common stock (up to $62
per share) on the date a triggering event occurs or condition exists that under Section 409A
results in the excess being recognized and reported as income on the former employees W-2 and the
exercise price of the affected option (reduced by any gain that had become subject to tax in a
prior year because of an earlier triggering event). As of September 30, 2007, we anticipate that
these income tax reimbursements will be up to approximately $0.8 million based on the current fair
market value of our Class A common stock on the exercise date and will be paid from cash flows from
operating activities as the triggering event occurs for each option holder, beginning in the third
quarter of fiscal year 2008. In the first quarter of fiscal year 2008, we charged approximately
$0.8 million to wages and benefits in our Consolidated Statement of Income related to these income
tax reimbursements based on the current fair market value of our Class A common stock as of
September 30, 2007. The estimated liability related to these income tax reimbursements will be
adjusted to reflect changes in the current fair market value of our Class A common stock each
quarter until the options are exercised.
In the first quarter of fiscal year 2008, we amended the exercise price of outstanding stock
options of certain current executive officers in order to re-price all or a portion of the
respective option grant to the correct accounting measurement date to avoid adverse tax
consequences to individual option holders under Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code. We will
pay cash payments in the aggregate amount of $0.3 million in accordance with the terms of the
amendment, which will be paid in the third quarter of fiscal year 2008 from cash flows from
operating activities. Of the $0.3 million cash payment, approximately $43,000 was charged to wages
and benefits in our Consolidated Statement of Income in fiscal year 2007, and the balance was
charged to additional paid-in capital in our Consolidated Balance Sheet.
Lawsuits Related to Stock Option Grant Practices
Several derivative lawsuits have been filed in connection with our stock option grant practices,
generally alleging claims related to

3:06-CV-1110-M (the Texas Federal Derivative Action). On April 5, 2007, the plaintiffs filed a
Second Amended Complaint, adding causes of action related to the announced buy-out transaction as
well. On June 4, 2007, ACS and the individual defendants filed a Motion to Dismiss the Second
Amended Complaint, on the grounds that the buy-out claims were not yet ripe for adjudication. On
August 1, 2007, the federal judge dismissed the buy-out related causes of action, and dismissed the
Section 16(b) claims against Jeff Rich and Mark King, (which had formerly been filed in the
Delaware U.S. District Court) and was transferred to the United States District Court for the
Northern District of Texas in June, 2007). The federal judge also dismissed the SEC Rule 10(b)5
cause of action against William L. Deckelman, Jr., based on plaintiffs failure to state a claim
against Mr. Deckelman. Defendant David Black was also dismissed from this case by the plaintiffs.

February 12, 2007, the Simeon case and the Burke case were consolidated into one case, under the
caption, In re Affiliated Computer Systems [sic] ERISA Litigation, Master File No. 3:06-CV-1592-M.
Plaintiffs in the consolidated action filed a Consolidated Amended Class Action Complaint on March
21, 2007. The Consolidated Amended Class Action Complaint added Lynn Blodgett, Dennis McCuistion,
Warren Edwards, John Rexford, and John M. Brophy as defendants. On April 6, 2007, the Court issued
an order staying this case for 180 days, or until either party requested that the stay be lifted.
On October 6, 2007, the stay was lifted and the defendants responses were due by November 3, 2007.
All of the cases described above are being vigorously defended. However, it is not possible at
this time to reasonably estimate the possible loss or range of loss, if any.
Litigation arising from buy-out offer
Several lawsuits have been filed in connection with the announced buyout transaction, generally
alleging claims related to breach of fiduciary duty, and seeking class action status. The
plaintiffs in each case purport to be ACS stockholders bringing a class action on behalf of all of
our public stockholders. Each plaintiff alleges that the proposal (Proposal) presented to us by
Darwin Deason and Cerberus on March 20, 2007, to acquire our outstanding stock, is unfair to
shareholders, because the consideration offered in the Proposal is alleged to be inadequate and to
have resulted from an unfair process.
In the Delaware Chancery Court, six cases were filed, as follows:

On May 4, 2007, each of the six Delaware buy-out cases was consolidated into one case, pending in
the Delaware Chancery Court, entitled In Re Affiliated Computer Services, Inc. Shareholder
Litigation, Civil Action No. 2821-VCL. On October 30,
2007, Cerberus withdrew its offer to acquire ACS. On November 2, 2007,
a Consolidated Amended Class Action and Derivative Complaint
was filed by the plaintiffs, adding allegations of breach of
fiduciary duties related to the events surrounding the resignation of
the outside directors.
In the District Court of Dallas County, Texas, two stand-alone buy-out cases were filed, as
follows:

Capital Management, L.P., Cause No. 07-02768 in the District Court of Dallas, Texas,
160th Judicial District, filed on March 28, 2007. |
In addition, in the TX State Court Consolidated stock option derivative case, on March 26, 2007,
plaintiffs filed a Third Amended Consolidated Complaint, adding causes of action related to the
announced buy-out transaction as well. On May 1, 2007, ACS and the individual defendants filed a
Special Exceptions Motion, on the grounds that plaintiffs buy-out claims were not yet ripe for
adjudication, i.e., no claim related to the Proposal can properly be the subject of litigation,
because the Proposal has not been accepted or recommended by either the Company or by the Special
Committee formed to evaluate the Proposal and strategic alternatives to the Proposal, and that
plaintiffs cannot bring both direct and derivative claims in a single lawsuit. The Third Amended
Petition also alleges breach of fiduciary duty premised upon an allegation that our assets and
information were misappropriated by Mr. Deason and Cerberus in order to facilitate their
preparation of the Proposal, and that the Proposal represents an attempt to extinguish the
derivative claims related to stock option practices by eliminating the standing of the plaintiff
stockholders to pursue those claims. The Third Amended Petition also suggests that the
consideration offered to stockholders in the Proposal is inadequate and seeks to enjoin
consummation of the Proposal.
Also, on March 29, 2007, the two stand-alone buy-out cases pending in the District Court of Dallas
County, Texas were consolidated into the TX State Court Consolidated stock option derivative case.
In the Texas Federal Court Consolidated stock option derivative case, on April 5, 2007, the
plaintiffs filed a Second Amended Complaint, adding causes of action related to the announced
buy-out transaction as well, and adding as defendants, Clifford Kendall, David Black, Henry
Hortenstine, Peter A. Bracken, William Deckelman, Jr., PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, and Cerberus
Capital Management LP. Like the Third Amended Petition in the Texas State Court Derivative Action,
the Second Amended Complaint in the Texas Federal Court Derivative Action challenged both the
process through which the Proposal was generated, and the substance of the Proposal. On June 4,
2007, ACS and the individual defendants filed a Motion to Dismiss the Second Amended Complaint, on
the grounds that the buy-out claims were not yet ripe for adjudication, i.e., no claim related to
the Proposal can properly be the subject of litigation, because the Proposal has not been accepted
or recommended by either the Company or by the Special Committee formed to
16

(UNAUDITED)
evaluate the Proposal and strategic alternatives to the Proposal. On August 1, 2007, the federal
judge dismissed the buy-out related causes of action. The federal judge also dismissed the SEC Rule
10(b)5 cause of action against defendant William Deckelman, Jr., based on plaintiffs failure to
state a claim against Mr. Deckelman. Defendant David Black was also dismissed from this case by the
plaintiffs.
All of the
cases described above are being vigorously defended.

Notes and waivers, amendments, and consents obtained for our Credit Facility.
Investigation Regarding Photo Enforcement Contract in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada
We and one of our Canadian subsidiaries, ACS Public Sector Solutions, Inc., received a summons
issued February 15, 2006 by the Alberta Department of Justice, requiring us and our subsidiary to
answer a charge of a violation of a Canadian federal law which prohibits giving, offering or
agreeing to give or offer any reward, advantage or benefit as consideration for receiving any favor
in connection with a business relationship. The charge covers the period from January 1, 1998
through June 4, 2004, and references the involvement of two Edmonton police officers. The two
officers were separately charged for violation of this law. The alleged violation relates to the
subsidiarys contract with the City of Edmonton for red-light camera photo-enforcement services.
We acquired this subsidiary and contract from Lockheed Martin Corporation in August 2001, when we
acquired Lockheed Martin IMS Corporation. The contract currently is on a month-to-month term with
revenues of approximately $0.8 million and $0.6 million (U.S. dollars) in the first quarters of
fiscal years 2008 and 2007, respectively. A renewal contract was awarded to our subsidiary in
2004 on a sole source basis, but this renewal award was rescinded by the City of Edmonton and a
subsequent request for proposals for an expanded photo enforcement contract was issued in September
2004. Prior to announcement of any award, however, the City of Edmonton suspended this procurement
process, pending the completion of the investigation by the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, which
led to the February 15, 2006 summons. We conducted an internal investigation of this matter, and
based on our findings from our internal investigation, we believe that our subsidiary has
sustainable defenses to the charge. We notified the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) and the SEC
upon our receipt of the summons and continue to periodically report the status of this matter to
them.
On October 31, 2006, legal counsel to the Alberta government withdrew the charge against ACS. On
June 8, 2007, the Alberta government withdrew the original charges against the two police officers,
and informed the court it would proceed against them on the lesser charge of breach of public
trust and fraud on the government. On June 27, 2007, the Alberta government also withdrew the
original charge against our subsidiary, and informed the court that it would proceed against our
subsidiary on the lesser charge of aiding and abetting a breach of public trust and fraud on the
government. On August 8, 2007, the Alberta government dismissed all charges against one of the
police officers. A preliminary hearing for ACS Public Sector Solutions, Inc. commenced on September
10, 2007, and closing arguments were made on September 20, 2007. After the hearing, the judge
announced that he would issue his ruling on November 13, 2007, as to whether to bind the case over
for trial. We are unable to express an opinion as to the likely outcome of this matter at this
time. It is not possible at this time to reasonably estimate the possible loss or range of loss, if
any.
Investigation Concerning Procurement Process at Hanscom Air Force Base
One of our subsidiaries, ACS Defense, LLC, and several other government contractors received a
grand jury document subpoena issued by the U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts in
October 2002. The subpoena was issued in connection with an inquiry being conducted by the
Antitrust Division of the DOJ. The inquiry concerns certain IDIQ (Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity) procurements and their related task orders, which occurred in the late 1990s
at Hanscom Air Force Base in Massachusetts. In February 2004, we sold the contracts associated
with the Hanscom Air Force Base relationship to ManTech International Corporation (ManTech);
however, we have agreed to indemnify ManTech with respect to this DOJ investigation. The DOJ is
continuing its investigation, but we have no information as to when the DOJ will conclude this
process. We have cooperated with the DOJ in producing documents in response to the subpoena, and
our internal investigation and review of this matter through outside legal counsel will continue
through the conclusion of the DOJ investigatory process. We are unable to express an opinion as to
the likely outcome of this matter at this time. It is not possible at this time to reasonably
estimate the possible loss or range of loss, if any.
Investigation Regarding Certain Child Support Payment Processing Contracts
Another of our subsidiaries, ACS State & Local Solutions, Inc. (ACS SLS), and a teaming partner
of this subsidiary, Tier Technologies, Inc. (Tier), received a grand jury document subpoena
issued by the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York in May 2003. The subpoena
was issued in connection with an inquiry being conducted by the Antitrust Division of the
17
AFFILIATED COMPUTER SERVICES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
DOJ. We believe that the inquiry concerns the teaming arrangements between ACS SLS and Tier on
child support payment processing contracts awarded to ACS SLS, and Tier as a subcontractor to ACS
SLS, in New York, Illinois and Ohio but may also extend to the conduct of ACS SLS and Tier with
respect to the bidding process for child support contracts in certain other states. Effective June
30, 2004, Tier was no longer a subcontractor to us in Ohio. Our revenue from the contracts for
which Tier was a subcontractor was approximately $11.9 million and $10.9 million for the first
quarter of fiscal years 2008 and 2007, respectively, representing approximately 0.8 % of our
revenues for both the first quarters of fiscal years 2008 and 2007. Our teaming arrangement with
Tier also contemplated the California child support payment processing request for proposals, which
was issued in late 2003; however, we did not enter into a teaming agreement with Tier for the
California request for proposals. Based on Tiers filings with the SEC, we understand that on
November 20, 2003, the DOJ granted conditional amnesty to Tier in connection with this inquiry
pursuant to the DOJs Corporate Leniency Policy. The policy provides that the DOJ will not bring
any criminal charges against Tier as long as it continues to fully cooperate in the inquiry (and
makes restitution payments if it is determined that parties were injured as a result of
impermissible anticompetitive conduct). In May 2006, we were advised that one of our current
employees, (who has not been active in our government business segment since June 2005), and one
former employee of ACS SLS, both of whom held senior management positions in the subsidiary during
the period in question, received target letters from the DOJ related to this inquiry. The DOJ is
continuing its investigation, but we have no information as to when the DOJ will conclude this
process. We have cooperated with the DOJ in producing documents in response to the subpoena, and
our internal investigation and review of this matter through outside legal counsel will continue
through the conclusion of the DOJ investigatory process. We are unable to express an opinion as to
the likely outcome of this matter at this time. It is not possible at this time to reasonably
estimate the possible loss or range of loss, if any.
Investigation regarding Florida Workforce Contracts
On January 30, 2004, the Florida Agency for Workforce Innovations (AWI) Office of Inspector
General (OIG) issued a report that reviewed 13 Florida workforce regions, including Dade and
Monroe counties, and noted concerns related to the accuracy of customer case records maintained by
our local staff. We had no revenue related to this contract in fiscal years 2008 and 2007. In
March 2004, we filed our response to the OIG report. The principal workforce policy organization
for the State of Florida, which oversees and monitors the administration of the States workforce
policy and the programs carried out by AWI and the regional workforce boards, is Workforce Florida,
Inc. (WFI). On May 20, 2004, the Board of Directors of WFI held a public meeting at which the
Board announced that WFI did not see a systemic problem with our performance of these workforce
services and that it considered the issue closed. There were also certain contract billing issues
that arose during the course of our performance of our workforce contract in Dade County, Florida,
which ended in June 2003. However, during the first quarter of fiscal year 2005, we settled all
financial issues with Dade County with respect to our workforce contract with that county and the
settlement is fully reflected in our results of operations for the first quarter of fiscal year
2005. We were also advised in February 2004 that the SEC had initiated an informal investigation
into the matters covered by the OIGs report, although we have not received any request for
information or documents since the middle of calendar year 2004. On March 22, 2004, ACS SLS
received a grand jury document subpoena issued by the U.S. District Court for the Southern District
of Florida. The subpoena was issued in connection with an inquiry being conducted by the DOJ and
the Inspector Generals Office of the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) into the subsidiarys
workforce contracts in Dade and Monroe counties in Florida, which also expired in June 2003, and
which were included in the OIGs report. On August 11, 2005, the South Florida Workforce Board
notified us that all deficiencies in our Dade County workforce contract have been appropriately
addressed and all findings are considered resolved. On August 25, 2004, ACS SLS received a grand
jury document subpoena issued by the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Florida in
connection with an inquiry being conducted by the DOJ and the Inspector Generals Office of the
DOL. The subpoena related to a workforce contract in Pinellas County, Florida, for the period from
January 1999 to the contracts expiration in March 2001, which was prior to our acquisition of this
business from Lockheed Martin Corporation in August 2001. Further, we settled a civil lawsuit with
Pinellas County in December 2003, with respect to claims related to the services rendered to
Pinellas County by Lockheed Martin Corporation prior to our acquisition of ACS SLS (those claims
having been transferred with ACS SLS as part of the acquisition), and the settlement resulted in
Pinellas County paying ACS SLS an additional $600,000. We are continuing to cooperate with the DOJ
and DOL in connection with their investigations. At this stage of these investigations, we are
unable to express an opinion as to their likely outcome. It is not possible at this time to
reasonably estimate the possible loss or range of loss, if any. During the second quarter of
fiscal year 2006, we completed the divestiture of substantially all of our welfare-to-workforce
business. However, we retained the liabilities for this business which arose from activities prior
to the date of closing, including the contingent liabilities discussed above.
On January 3, 2003, a Complaint was filed under seal in the United States District Court, Middle
District of Florida, Tampa Division, by a former Pinellas County Administrator under the Qui Tam
provisions of the False Claims Act. On October 23, 2006, the United States filed a notice with the
court that it would not intervene in the Complaint. The court then entered an order to unseal the
Complaint and, we were subsequently served with the Complaint. The allegations in this Complaint
arise from the workforce contract in Pinellas County, Florida, that is the subject of the grand
jury document subpoena issued by the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Florida in
connection with an inquiry being conducted by the DOJ and the Inspector Generals Office of the DOL
(as
18

discussed above). We intend to vigorously defend this case. However, it is not possible at this
time to reasonably estimate the possible loss or range of loss, if any.
Other
Certain contracts, primarily in our Government segment, require us to provide a surety bond or a
letter of credit as a guarantee of performance. As of
September 30, 2007, $453.2 million of our
outstanding surety bonds and $92.7 million of our outstanding letters of credit secure our
performance of contractual obligations with our clients. Approximately $20.9 million of letters of
credit secure our casualty insurance and vendor programs and other corporate obligations. In
general, we would only be liable for the amount of these guarantees in the event of default in our
performance of our obligations under each contract; the probability of which we believe is remote.
We believe that we have sufficient capacity in the surety markets and liquidity from our cash flow
and our Credit Facility to respond to future requests for proposals.
We have approximately $17.3 million of U.S. Treasury Notes in conjunction with a contract in our
Government segment pledged in accordance with the terms of the contract to secure our performance.
The U.S. Treasury Notes are accounted for as held to maturity pursuant to SFAS No. 115, Accounting
for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities and reflected in other assets in our
Consolidated Balance Sheets.
We are obligated to make certain contingent payments to former shareholders of acquired entities
upon satisfaction of certain contractual criteria in conjunction with certain acquisitions. During
the first quarter of fiscal year 2008, we made contingent consideration payments of $23.7 million,
related to acquisitions completed in prior years, of which $20.9 million was accrued at June 30,
2007. As of September 30, 2007, the maximum aggregate amount of the outstanding contingent
obligations to former shareholders of acquired entities is approximately $62.4 million. Any such
payments primarily result in a corresponding increase in goodwill.
As discussed in Note 6, we adopted the provisions of FIN 48 as of July 1, 2007. As of September 30,
2007, we had gross reserves for uncertain tax positions totaling $54.8 million. We are unable to
make a reasonably reliable estimate as to when a cash settlement with a taxing authority will
occur.
We indemnified Lockheed Martin Corporation against certain specified claims from certain pre-sale
litigation, investigations, government audits and other issues related to the sale of the majority
of our federal business to Lockheed Martin Corporation in fiscal year 2004. Our contractual maximum
exposure under these indemnifications is $85 million; however, we believe the actual exposure to be
significantly less. As of September 30, 2007, other accrued liabilities include a reserve for these
claims in an amount we believe to be adequate at this time.
Our Education Services business, which is included in our Commercial segment, performs third party
student loan servicing in the Federal Family Education Loan program (FFEL) on behalf of various
financial institutions. We service these loans for investors under outsourcing arrangements and do
not acquire any servicing rights that are transferable by us to a third party. At September 30,
2007, we serviced a FFEL portfolio of approximately 2.3 million loans with an outstanding principal
balance of approximately $33.7 billion. Some servicing agreements contain provisions that, under
certain circumstances, require us to purchase the loans from the investor if the loan guaranty has
been permanently terminated as a result of a loan default caused by our servicing error. If
defaults caused by us are cured during an initial period, any obligation we may have to purchase
these loans expires. Loans that we purchase may be subsequently cured, the guaranty reinstated and
the loans repackaged for sale to third parties. We evaluate our exposure under our purchase
obligations on defaulted loans and establish a reserve for potential losses, or default liability
reserve, through a charge to the provision for loss on defaulted loans purchased. The reserve is
evaluated periodically and adjusted based upon managements analysis of the historical performance
of the defaulted loans. As of September 30, 2007, other accrued liabilities include reserves which
we believe to be adequate.
In addition to the foregoing, we are subject to certain other legal proceedings, inquiries, claims
and disputes, which arise in the ordinary course of business. Although we cannot predict the
outcomes of these other proceedings, we do not believe these other actions, in the aggregate, will
have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or liquidity.
14. NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In July 2006, the FASB issued FIN 48, which clarifies the accounting for and disclosure of
uncertainty in tax positions. Additionally, FIN 48 provides guidance on the recognition,
measurement, de-recognition, classification and disclosure of tax positions and on the accounting
for related interest and penalties. We adopted FIN 48 effective July 1, 2007. Please see Note 6
for a discussion of the adoption of FIN 48 and the impact on our financial condition and results of
operations.
19
AFFILIATED COMPUTER SERVICES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 157
Fair Value Measurements (SFAS 157). SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for
measuring fair value in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, and expands
disclosures about fair value measurements. The statement clarifies that the exchange price is the
price in an orderly transaction between market participants to sell an asset or transfer a
liability at the measurement date. The statement emphasizes that fair value is a market-based
measurement and not an entity-specific measurement. It also establishes a fair value hierarchy
used in fair value measurements and expands the required disclosures of assets and liabilities
measured at fair value. SFAS 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years
beginning after November 15, 2007. We have not yet determined the impact, if any, that SFAS 157
will have on our financial position or results of operations.
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and
Financial Liabilities Including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115, (SFAS 159) which
permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair
value at specified election dates. Unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value
option has been elected will be recognized in earnings at each subsequent reporting date. SFAS
159 provides entities with the opportunity to mitigate volatility in reported earnings caused by
measuring related assets and liabilities differently without having to apply complex hedge
accounting provisions. SFAS 159 is effective as of the beginning of an entitys fiscal year
beginning after November 15, 2007. Early adoption is permitted as of the beginning of the previous
fiscal year provided that the entity makes that choice in the first 120 days of that fiscal year
and also elects to apply the provisions of FASB Statement No. 157, Fair Value Measurements. We
have not yet determined the impact, if any, that SFAS 159 will have on our financial position or
results of operations.
15. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
In an October 30, 2007 special meeting of the Board called by the Chairman, the Chairman requested
that each of our five independent directors resign immediately from the Board. The Chairman also
presented a group of four nominees to immediately fill the vacancies caused by the requested
resignations and to run for election at the Companys next shareholders meeting. In a November 1,
2007 special meeting of the Board called by the Chairman, the independent directors advised the
Chairman that they will not run for re-election at the next shareholders meeting and will resign
as directors once they have had the opportunity to meet with the Chairmans nominees and any other
director candidates suggested by shareholders to determine that they are independent and capable of
protecting minority shareholders. The meetings between the independent directors and the proposed
replacements are currently underway. To date, no shareholders have suggested any director
candidates.
A lawsuit was filed in the Chancery Court of Delaware (New Castle County) on November 1, 2007 by
our independent directors against us and our management directors, as defendants, seeking an order
declaring that the independent directors did not breach their fiduciary duties in connection with
the process conducted by the Special Committee of the Board that was formed to consider strategic
alternatives available to the Company, including a possible sale of the Company.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
All statements in this Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations that are not based on historical fact are forward-looking statements within the
meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and the provisions of Section 27A

debt service cost could limit cash flow available to fund our operations, and may limit our
ability to obtain further debt or equity financing; |
|
|
|
|
Alleged defaults and purported acceleration of our Senior Notes, if upheld in
litigation, could have a negative impact on our cash flow and divert resources that could
otherwise be utilized in our business operations; |
|
|
|
|
The complexity of regulatory environments in which we operate has increased and may
continue to increase our costs; |
|
|
|
|
We are subject to the oversight of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and
other regulatory agencies and investigations by those agencies could divert managements
focus and could have a material adverse impact on our reputation and financial condition; |
|
|
|
|
Reductions of our credit rating may have an adverse impact on our business; |
|
|
|
|
A decline in revenues from or a loss of significant clients could reduce our
profitability and cash flow; |
|
|
|
|
Our ability to recover capital investments in connection with our contracts is subject
to risk; |
|
|
|
|
We have non-recurring revenue, which subjects us to a risk that our revenues from year
to year may fluctuate; |
|
|
|
|
The markets in which we operate are highly competitive and we may not be able to compete
effectively; |
|
|
|
|
We may not be able to make acquisitions that will complement our growth; |
|
|
|
|
A failure to properly manage our operations and our growth could have a material adverse
effect on our business; |
|
|
|
|
Our Government contracts are subject to termination rights, audits and investigations,
which, if exercised, could negatively impact our reputation and reduce our ability to
compete for new contracts; |
|
|
|
|
We may incur delays in signing and commencing new business as the result of protests of
government contracts that we are awarded; |
|
|
|
|
The exercise of contract termination provisions and service level penalties may have an
adverse impact on our business; |
|
|
|
|
Some of our contracts contain pricing provisions that could adversely affect our
operating results and cash flow; |
|
|
|
|
Claims associated with our actuarial consulting and benefit plan management services
could negatively impact our business; |
|
|
|
|
The loss of or change in our significant software vendor relationships could have a
material adverse effect on our business; |
|
|
|
|
We may be subject to claims of infringement of third-party intellectual property rights
which could adversely affect our business; |
|
|
|
|
We are subject to United States and foreign jurisdiction laws relating to individually
identifiable information, and failure to comply with those laws, whether or not
inadvertent, could subject us to legal actions and negatively impact our operations; |
|
|
|
|
We are subject to breaches of our security systems; |
|
|
|
|
Budget deficits and/or fluctuations in the number of requests for proposals issued by
state and local governments and their agencies may adversely impact our business; |
|
|
|
|
Our international operations are subject to a number of risks; |
|
|

We report our financial results in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the
United States (GAAP). However, we believe that certain non-GAAP financial measures and ratios,
used in managing our business, may provide users of this financial information with additional
meaningful comparisons between current results and prior reported results. Certain of the
information set
21
forth herein and certain of the information presented by us from time to time (including free cash
flow and internal revenue growth) may constitute non-GAAP financial measures within the meaning of
Regulation G adopted by the SEC. We have presented herein and we will present in other information
we publish that contains any of these non-GAAP financial measures a reconciliation of these
measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure. The presentation of this
additional information is not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for comparable

OVERVIEW
We derive our revenues from delivering comprehensive business process outsourcing and information
technology services solutions to commercial and government clients. A substantial portion of our
revenues is derived from recurring monthly charges to our clients under service contracts with
initial terms that vary from one to ten years. We define recurring revenues as revenues derived
from services that our clients use each year in connection with their ongoing businesses, and
accordingly, exclude software license fees, short-term contract programming and consulting
engagements, product installation fees, and hardware and software sales. However, as we add,
through acquisitions or new service offerings, consulting or other services to enhance the value
delivered and offered to our clients, which are primarily short-term in nature, we may experience
variations in our mix of recurring versus non-recurring revenues. Since inception, our
acquisition program has resulted in growth and diversification of our client base, expansion of
services and products offered, increased economies of scale and geographic expansion.
Management focuses on various metrics in analyzing our business and its performance and outlook.
One such metric is our sales pipeline, which was approximately $1.7 billion of annual recurring
revenues as of September 30, 2007. Our sales pipeline is a qualified pipeline of deals with
signings anticipated within the next six months and excludes deals with annual recurring revenue
over $100 million. Both the commercial and government pipelines have significant, quality
opportunities across multiple lines of business and in multiple vertical markets, including
opportunities in business process outsourcing, human resources outsourcing, commercial and
government healthcare and transportation services, including international opportunities,
commercial and government information technology services and federal government services. We
analyze the cash flow generation qualities of each deal in our pipeline and make decisions based on
its cash return characteristics. While the magnitude of our sales pipeline is an important
indicator of potential new business signings and potential future internal revenue growth, actual
new business signings and internal revenue growth depend on a number of factors including the
effectiveness of our sales pursuit teams, competition for a deal, deal pricing and other risks
described further in Item 1A. Risk Factors of our Annual Report
on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007.
We use internal revenue growth as a measure of the organic growth of our business. Internal revenue
growth is measured as total revenue growth less acquired revenue from acquisitions and revenues
from divested operations. At the date of acquisition, we identify the trailing twelve months of
revenue of the acquired company as the pre-acquisition revenue of acquired companies.
Pre-acquisition revenue of the acquired companies is considered acquired revenues in our
calculation, and revenues from the acquired company, either above or below that amount are
components of internal growth in our calculation. We use the calculation of internal revenue
growth to measure revenue growth excluding the impact of acquired revenues and the revenue
associated with divested operations and we believe these adjustments to historical reported results
are necessary to accurately reflect our internal revenue growth. Revenues from divested operations
are excluded from the internal revenue growth calculation in the periods following the effective
date of the divestiture. Prior period internal revenue growth calculations are not restated for
current period divestitures. Our measure of internal revenue growth may not be comparable to
similarly titled measures of other companies.
Management analyzes new business signings on a trailing twelve month basis as it is generally a
better indicator of future growth than quarterly new business signings which can vary due to timing
of contract execution. We define new business signings as annual recurring revenue from new
contracts and the incremental portion of renewals that are signed during the period, which represents
the estimated first twelve months of revenue to be recorded under the
contracts after full
implementation. We use new business signings as additional measures of estimating total revenue
represented by contractual commitments, both to forecast prospective revenues and to estimate
capital commitments. Revenues for new business signings are measured under GAAP. There are no
third party standards or requirements governing the calculation of new business signings and our
measure may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. During the first
quarter of fiscal year 2008 we signed approximately $140.8 million of annual recurring revenue with
an estimated total contract value of $604 million. We define total contract value as the estimated
total revenues from contracts signed during the period which represents estimated total revenue
over the term of the contract. We use total contract value as an additional measure of estimating
total revenue represented by contractual commitments, both to forecast prospective revenues and to
estimate capital commitments. Revenues for annual recurring revenue and total contract value are
measured under GAAP.
Renewal rates are a key indicator of client satisfaction. We calculate our renewal rate based on
the total annual recurring revenue of renewals won as a percentage of total annual recurring
revenue of all renewals sought. During the first quarter of fiscal year 2008, we renewed
approximately 94% of total renewals sought totaling approximately $90 million of annual recurring
revenue with a total contract value of approximately $234 million. Average contract life for
renewals typically varies between our government and commercial segments, with the average contract
life of renewals in the government segment often longer than those in the commercial
22
segment. While we track renewal rates on a quarterly basis, we believe it is appropriate to analyze
our renewal rates on an annual basis due to the timing of renewal opportunities.
We compete for new business in the competitive information technology services and business process
outsourcing markets. The overall health of these markets and the competitive environment can be
determined by analyzing several key metrics. One such metric is the overall expected operating
margin of our new business signings which is a good indicator of our expected future operating
margin given the long-term nature of our customer contracts. We believe the expected operating
margin of new business signings is consistent with our historical operating margin. We focus on
the expected operating margins of the new business we are signing to ensure the operating margins
we expect to generate are commensurate with the capital intensity of the new business opportunity,
the risk profile of the services we are providing and the overall return on capital.
We monitor the capital intensity, defined as capital expenditures and additions to intangible
assets, of new business signings. Understanding the capital intensity of new business signings is
helpful in determining the future free cash flow generating levels of our business. Historically,
the capital intensity in our business has ranged between 5% to 7%. During the first quarter of
fiscal year 2008, the overall capital intensity of our business was approximately 5%. During
fiscal year 2007, the overall capital intensity of our business was approximately 6%. We believe
the expected capital intensity range of our new business signings reflects a healthy competitive
environment and the related risks we are taking with respect to our new business process
outsourcing business and information technology services business.
Retaining and training our employees is a key component to our historical success and will continue
to be a major factor in our future success. We consistently review our employee retention rates on
a regional and global basis to ensure that we are competitive in hiring, retaining and motivating
our employees. We perform benchmarking studies against some markets in which we compete to ensure
our competitiveness in compensation and benefits and utilize employee surveys to gauge our
employees level of satisfaction. We provide our employees ongoing technological, management,
financial and leadership training and will continue to do so to develop our employees and remain
competitive. We utilize activity based compensation as a means to motivate certain of our
employees in both segments of our business and anticipate increasing our use of activity based
compensation in fiscal year 2008. We believe our use of activity based compensation is a
competitive advantage for ACS.

Deason/Cerberus Proposal
Please see Note 2 to our Consolidated Financial Statements for a discussion of the Deason/Cerberus
proposal to purchase the Company.
New Business
During the first quarter of fiscal year 2008, we signed contracts with new clients and incremental
business with existing clients representing $140.8 million of annualized recurring revenue with an
estimated $604 million in total contract value. The Commercial segment contributed 58% of the new
contract signings (based on annual recurring revenues) including growth with Sprint/Nextel
Corporation. The Government segment contributed 42% of the new contract signings (based on annual
recurring revenues) including contracts with the Alaska Department of Health and Social Services,
Texas Health and Human Services and the State of Indiana.
Adoption of FIN 48
Effective July 1, 2007, we adopted the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board
Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes an interpretation of FASB
Statement No. 109 (FIN 48), which clarifies the accounting for and disclosure of
uncertainty in
tax positions. Additionally, FIN 48 provides guidance on the recognition, measurement,
de-recognition, classification and disclosure of tax positions and on the accounting for related
interest and penalties. As a result of the implementation of FIN 48,
we recognized an $11 million
(net of tax benefit) increase in the reserves for uncertain tax
positions, of which $8.8 million
(net of tax benefit) was attributable to the accrual of interest and penalties. These amounts were
recognized as a decrease to retained earnings of $9.9 million, an
increase to deferred tax assets of $1 million and an increase to
income taxes receivable of $0.1 million. Following our adoption of FIN 48, the gross balance
of unrecognized tax benefits was $54.5 million at July 1, 2007, which excludes $9 million of
offsetting tax benefits, primarily from international tax treaties which provide for potential
relief from double taxation. The net unrecognized tax benefits of $45.5 million include $41.5
million that, if recognized, would benefit our effective income tax rate.
We recognize accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as a component of
income tax expense. Accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits were
approximately $8.8 million (net of tax benefit) as of
July 1, 2007, and $9.7 million (net of tax
benefit) as of September 30, 2007. We do not anticipate a significant change to the total amount
of unrecognized tax benefits within the next 12 months.

Option Repricing for a discussion of the repricing of certain outstanding stock options, our
tender offer to amend certain options and results of the tender offer, as well as our offer to
former employees.
Subsequent
events
In an October 30, 2007 special meeting of the Board called by the Chairman, the Chairman requested
that each of our five independent directors resign immediately from the Board. The Chairman also
presented a group of four nominees to immediately fill the vacancies caused by the requested
resignations and to run for election at the Companys next shareholders meeting. In a November 1,
2007 special meeting of the Board called by the Chairman, the independent directors advised the
Chairman that they will not run for re-election at the next shareholders meeting and will resign
as directors once they have had the opportunity to meet with the Chairmans nominees and any other
director candidates suggested by shareholders to determine that they are independent and capable of
protecting minority shareholders. The meetings between the independent directors and the proposed
replacements are currently underway. To date, no shareholders have suggested any director
candidates.
A lawsuit was filed in the Chancery Court of Delaware (New Castle County) on November 1, 2007 by
our independent directors against us and our management directors, as defendants, seeking an order
declaring that the independent directors did not breach their fiduciary duties in connection with
the process conducted by the Special Committee of the Board that was formed to consider strategic
alternatives available to the Company, including a possible sale of the Company.

REVENUE GROWTH
During the first quarter of fiscal year 2008, we reorganized the internal operating and reporting
structures in our Commercial and Government segments to more formally align our sales, service
delivery and financial organizations under its appropriate leadership. As a result, we have
restated our Commercial and Government segment results for prior periods to reflect our current
operating and reporting structure. The restatement has no impact on our consolidated results for
the period of restatement.
Internal revenue growth is measured as total revenue growth less acquired revenue from acquisitions
and revenues from divested operations. At the date of acquisition, we identify the trailing twelve
months of revenue of the acquired company as the pre-acquisition revenue of acquired companies.
Pre-acquisition revenue of the acquired companies is considered acquired revenues in our
calculation, and revenues from the acquired company, either above or below that amount are
components of internal growth in our calculation. We use the calculation of internal revenue
growth to measure revenue growth excluding the impact of acquired revenues and the revenue
associated with divested operations and we believe these adjustments to historical reported results
are necessary to accurately reflect our internal revenue growth. Revenues from divested operations
are excluded from the internal revenue growth calculation in the periods following the effective
date of the divestiture. Prior period internal revenue growth calculations are not restated for
current period divestitures. Our measure of internal revenue growth may not be comparable to
similarly titled measures of other companies. The following table sets forth the calculation of
internal revenue growth (in thousands):

COMPARISON OF THE THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2007 TO THE THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30,
2006
Revenues
In the first quarter of fiscal year 2008, our revenues increased $107.6 million, or 8%, to $1.49
billion from $1.39 billion in the first quarter of fiscal year 2007. Internal revenue growth for
the first quarter of fiscal year 2008 was 6% and the remainder of the revenue growth was related to
acquisitions.
Revenue in our Commercial segment, which represents 59% of consolidated revenue for the first
quarter of fiscal year 2008, increased $46.7 million, or 6%, to $878.9 million in the first quarter
of fiscal year 2008 compared to the same period last year. Internal revenue growth was 3%, due
primarily to increased revenue related to contracts with Sprint/Nextel, MeadWestvaco, Disney,
T-Mobile, Apollo, Aetna and growth in our human resource consulting and benefits outsourcing lines
of business. The growth in these contracts was offset by declines for APL and General Motors. The
items discussed above collectively represent approximately 96% of our internal revenue growth for
the period in this segment. Revenue growth from acquisitions was 3% for the first quarter of
fiscal year 2008, primarily related to the acquisition of Systech Integrators, Inc. and CDR
Associates in the second and fourth quarters of fiscal year 2007, respectively.
Revenue in our Government segment, which represents 41% of consolidated revenue for the first
quarter of fiscal year 2008, increased $60.9 million, or 11%, to $614.2 million in the first
quarter of fiscal year 2008 compared to the same period last year. Internal revenue growth was 10%
and growth from acquisition was 1%. We experienced growth in the following areas: (i) our
international and domestic transportation contracts, including contracts for Melbourne, Australia
and Maryland EZPass and our commercial vehicle operations; and (ii) our government and community
solutions contracts, including contracts with the states of Indiana for eligibility and Maryland
for information technology outsourcing. The areas discussed above collectively represent
approximately 97% of our internal revenue growth for the period in this segment.
26
Operating
Expenses
Wages and benefits increased $33.3 million or 5% to $699.9 million. As a percentage of revenue,
wages and benefits decreased 1.2% to 46.9% in the first quarter of fiscal year 2008 from 48.1% in
the first quarter of fiscal year 2007. During the first quarter of fiscal year 2008, we recorded
$1.2 million of compensation expense related to amending certain employee stock options and $0.8
million for estimated costs related to certain former employees stock options as discussed in
Disclosures about our Contractual Obligations and Commercial Commitments below. During the first
quarter of fiscal year 2007, we recorded $5.1 million of compensation expense related to our
restructuring activities and $1.1 million for duplicate cost related to our efforts to relocate
domestic functions to offshore facilities. An increase in revenue in our information technology
services business contributed approximately 0.3% of the decrease as a percentage of revenue in the
first quarter of fiscal year 2008. Our information technology services business has a lower
component of wages and benefits than our other operations.
Services and supplies increased $50.4 million, or 17.3%, to $341.8 million. As a percentage of
revenue, services and supplies increased 1.9% to 22.9% in the first quarter of fiscal year 2008
from 21% in the first quarter of fiscal year 2007. During the first quarter of fiscal year 2008,
we recorded $3.7 million in other costs associated with the potential buyout of the Company.
During the first quarter of fiscal year 2007, we recorded $0.2 million related to our ongoing stock
option investigation and shareholder derivative lawsuits and $0.2 million for other impairment
charges. Increased revenues and related cost of revenues in our international transportation
contracts contributed 0.8% and increased revenues in our information technology business
contributed 0.5% of the increase of services and supplies as a percentage of revenue in the first
quarter of fiscal year 2008. Both of these lines of business have higher components of services
and supplies than our other operations.
Rent, lease and maintenance increased $5.9 million, or 3.3%, to $184.9 million. As a percentage of
revenue, rent, lease and maintenance decreased 0.5%, to 12.4%. During the first quarter of fiscal
year 2008, we recorded $0.5 million for electronic data storage costs related to our ongoing stock
option investigation. During the first quarter of fiscal year 2007, we recorded $0.5 million
related to our restructuring activities. The remaining decrease is primarily due to lower
software costs for several information technology outsourcing clients in the first quarter of
fiscal year 2008 than the first quarter of fiscal year 2007.
Other expenses decreased $3.7 million, or 34.9%, to $6.9 million. As a percentage of revenue,
other expenses decreased 0.4%, to 0.4%, in the first quarter of fiscal year 2008 from 0.8% in the
first quarter of fiscal year 2007. During the first quarter of fiscal year 2007, we recorded $0.4
million related to our restructuring activities and $0.8 million for other impairment charges.
Other operating expenses increased $8 million or 52.4% to $23.3 million. As a percentage of
revenue, other operating expenses increased 0.5%, to 1.6%. We recorded $10.7 million and $7.7
million of legal costs associated with the ongoing stock option investigations and shareholder
derivative lawsuits during the first quarter of fiscal years 2008 and 2007, respectively. During
the first quarter of fiscal year 2008, we recorded approximately $3 million for an estimated
pre-acquisition litigation settlement related to our human resources consulting and outsourcing
business acquired from Mellon Financial Corporation in May 2005. We also recorded $1.2 million in
legal costs associated with the potential sale of the Company and shareholder derivative lawsuits
during the first quarter of fiscal year 2008.

Operating
Income
Operating income increased $4.5 million, or 3.2%, to $145.4 million. As a percentage of revenue,
operating income decreased 0.5% to 9.7% in the first quarter of fiscal year 2008 from 10.2% in the
first quarter of fiscal 2007. Operating income in the first quarter of fiscal years 2008 and 2007

Interest
Expense
Interest expense decreased $2 million, to $44 million. Interest expense in the first quarter of
fiscal year 2007 includes $2.6 million in charges related to a waiver fee on our Credit Facility
(defined below).
Other
income, net
Other income, net decreased $1.9 million, to $0.7 million primarily due to net losses on the
investments supporting our deferred compensation plans during the first quarter of fiscal year
2008.
Income
tax expense
Our effective income tax rate decreased to 35.2% in the first quarter of fiscal year 2008 from 37%
in the first quarter of fiscal year 2007. Our effective income tax rate decreased primarily due to
an increase in other deductions and credits, as well as interest accrued on expected tax refunds in
accordance with the provisions of FIN 48. Our effective income tax rate is higher than the 35%
federal statutory rate primarily due to the effect of state income taxes.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Cash
Flow
During the first quarter of fiscal year 2008, we generated approximately $8 million in cash flows
provided by operating activities compared to $173.2 million in the first quarter of fiscal year
2007. Our cash flows provided by operating activities were impacted by lower cash collections,
higher annual incentive compensation payments to employees and higher payments to employees for
wages and benefits during the first quarter of fiscal year 2008 than in the prior year period. Our
cash flows provided by operating activities were also impacted by the following items (in
millions):

Accounts receivable fluctuations may have a significant impact on our cash flows provided by
operating activities. The payments
received from clients on our billed accounts receivables and the increase in such accounts
receivable are reflected as a single component of our cash flows provided by operating activities,
and the timing of collections of these receivables may have either a positive or negative impact on
our liquidity.
Free cash flow is measured as cash flow provided by operating activities (as reported in our
consolidated statements of cash flow), less capital expenditures (purchases of property, equipment
and software, net of sales, as reported in our consolidated statements of cash flow) less additions
to other intangible assets (as reported in our consolidated statements of cash flows). We believe
this free cash flow metric provides an additional measure of available cash flow after we have
satisfied the capital expenditure requirements of our operations, and should not be taken in
isolation to be a measure of cash flow available for us to satisfy all of our obligations and
execute our business strategies. We also rely on cash flows from investing and financing
activities which, together with free cash flow, are expected to be sufficient for us to execute our
business strategies. Our measure of free cash flow may not be comparable to similarly titled
measures of other companies.
The following table sets forth the calculations of free cash flow (in thousands):

During the first quarter of fiscal year 2008, net cash used in investing activities was $99 million
compared to $150.9 million in the first quarter of fiscal year 2007. In the first quarter of
fiscal year 2008, we used $23.7 million for acquisitions, primarily for contingent consideration
payments on prior year acquisitions, including Heritage Information Systems, Inc. and Primax
Recoveries, Inc. In the first quarter of fiscal year 2007, we used $34 million for acquisitions,
primarily for the purchase of Primax Recoveries, Inc., net of cash acquired, and a contingent
consideration payment for a prior year acquisition. Cash used for the purchase of property,
equipment and software and additions to other intangible assets was $75.3 million and $110.6
million for the first quarter of fiscal years 2008 and 2007, respectively. During the first
quarter of fiscal year 2007, we used $6.4 million to purchase long-term investments primarily
related to our deferred compensation plans.
During the first quarter of fiscal years 2008 and 2007, net cash provided by financing activities
was $29.7 million and $19.2 million, respectively. Such financing activities include net
borrowings on our Credit Agreement with Citicorp USA, Inc., as Administrative Agent (Citicorp),
Citigroup Global Markets Inc., as Sole Lead Arranger and Book Runner, and with Morgan Stanley Bank,
SunTrust Bank, Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi UFJ, Ltd., Wachovia Bank National Association, Bank of
America, N.A., Bear Stearns Corporate Lending and Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., as Co-Syndication Agents,
and various other lenders and issuers (the Credit Facility), proceeds from the exercise of stock
options, excess tax benefits from stock-based compensation and proceeds from the issuance of
treasury shares offset by purchases of treasury shares under our share repurchase programs.
Credit arrangements
Draws made under our credit facilities are made to fund cash acquisitions, share repurchases and
for general working capital requirements. During the last twelve months, the balance outstanding
under our credit facilities for borrowings ranged from $1.8 billion to $2.1 billion. At September
30, 2007, we had approximately $0.8 billion available under our revolving Credit Facility after
giving effect to outstanding indebtedness of $68 million and $113.6 million of outstanding letters
of credit that secure certain contractual performance and other obligations and reduce the
availability of our revolving facility. At September 30, 2007, we had $1.8 billion outstanding
under our Credit Facility, of which $1.8 billion is reflected in long-term debt and $18 million is
reflected in current portion of long-term debt, and approximately $1.8 billion of which bore
interest at 7.44% and $68 million bore interest from 3.78% to 5.75%. Please see Note 10 to our
Consolidated Financial Statements for a discussion of an interest rate swap agreement related to
interest rates on our Credit Facility.

action with respect to the alleged default and purported acceleration of our Senior Notes.

Credit Ratings
Following our tender offer completed in March 2006, our credit ratings were downgraded by Moodys
and Standard & Poors, both to below investment grade. Standard & Poors further downgraded us to
BB upon our announcement in June 2006 of the approval by our Board of Directors of a new $1 billion
share repurchase plan. Fitch initiated its coverage of us in August 2006 at a rating of BB, except
for our Senior Notes which were rated BB-. Standard & Poors downgraded our credit rating further,
to B+, following our announcement on September 28, 2006 that we would not be able to file our
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the period ending June 30, 2006 by the September 28, 2006 extended
deadline. On March 7, 2007, Standard & Poors raised our credit rating to BB, reflecting the
filing of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2006 and our Quarterly Report
for the quarter ended September 30, 2006. On March 20, 2007, following the announcement that ACS
founder Darwin Deason and private equity fund Cerberus proposed to buy the Company, all three
agencies placed ACS on review for potential downgrade. There may be additional reductions in
our ratings depending on the timing and amounts that may be drawn under our Credit Facility. As a
result, the terms of any financings we choose to enter into in the future may be adversely
affected. In addition, as a result of these downgrades, the sureties which provide performance
bonds backing our contractual obligations could reduce the availability of these bonds, increase
the price of the bonds to us or require us to provide collateral such as a letter of credit.
However, we believe that we will continue to have sufficient capacity in the surety markets and
liquidity from our cash flow and Credit Facility to respond to future requests for proposals. In
addition, certain of our commercial outsourcing contracts provide that, in the event our credit
ratings are downgraded to certain specified levels, the customer may elect to terminate its
contract with us and either pay a reduced termination fee or in some instances, no termination fee.
While we do not anticipate that the downgrading of our credit ratings will result in a material
loss of commercial outsourcing revenue due to the customers exercise of these termination rights,
there can be no assurance that such a credit ratings downgrade will not adversely affect these
customer relationships.

Stock Option Repricing
The actions discussed below related to certain employee and former employee stock options
outstanding were the result of our internal investigation of our stock option grant practices.
In December 2006, we amended the exercise price of outstanding stock options of certain current
executive officers, other executive officers and former executive officers in order to re-price all
or a portion of the respective option grant to the correct accounting measurement date to avoid
adverse tax consequences to individual option holders under Section 409A of the Internal Revenue
Code. We will pay cash payments in the aggregate amount of $2.4 million in accordance with the
terms of the amendment, which will be paid in the third quarter of fiscal year 2008 from cash flows
from operating activities. Of the $2.4 million cash payment, approximately $0.5 million was
charged to wages and benefits in our Consolidated Statement of Income in fiscal year 2007, and the
balance was charged to additional paid-in capital in our Consolidated Balance Sheet.
On June 18, 2007, we initiated a tender offer to amend certain options (the Eligible Options) to
purchase an aggregate of 1,703,650 shares (as amended) of our Class A common stock in order to
re-price all or a portion of the respective option grant to the correct accounting measurement date
to avoid adverse tax consequences to individual option holders under Section 409A of the Internal
Revenue Code. The Eligible Options included options that (i) were granted under our 1997 Stock
Incentive Plan, as amended; (ii) had exercise prices per share that were less, or may have been
less, than the fair market value per share of ACS on the revised measurement dates for such
options, as determined by us for accounting and tax purposes; (iii) were unexercised and unvested,
either in whole or in part, as of January 1, 2005; (iv) were outstanding as of the expiration time
of this tender offer; and (v) were held by individuals who (x) were employed by the Company through
the expiration time of this tender offer (other than any executive officer or director) and (y) are
subject to income taxation in the United States. Eligible participants could elect to (i) amend
Eligible Options to increase the exercise price per share to the fair market value of the Companys
Class A common stock on the respective options measurement date and (ii) receive a cash payment
equal to the difference between the new exercise price per share of each amended option and the
original exercise price per share of such amended option, multiplied by the number of unexercised
shares of the Companys Class A common stock subject to such amended option.
The tender offer expired on July 17, 2007. Pursuant to the offer, we accepted for amendment options
to purchase 1,696,650 shares of our Class A common stock, which represented 99.6% of the shares of
our Class A common stock subject to all Eligible Options. We will pay cash payments in the
aggregate amount of $4.0 million in accordance with the terms of the tender offer, which will be
paid in the third quarter of fiscal year 2008 from cash flows from operating activities. During
the first quarter of fiscal year 2008, we charged approximately $1.3 million to wages and benefits
in our Consolidated Statement of Income and charged the balance of the estimated cash payments to
additional paid-in capital in our Consolidated Balance Sheet. This payment will be made in the
third quarter of fiscal year 2008 from cash flow from operating activities.
30
In July 2007, we notified certain former employees with vested, unexercised and outstanding options
which had exercise prices per share that were less, or may have been less, than the fair market
value per share of ACS on the revised measurement dates for such options, as determined by us for
accounting and tax purposes, that we will pay them the additional 20% income tax imposed by Section
409A based on the excess, if any, of the fair market value of our Class A common stock (up to $62
per share) on the date a triggering event occurs or condition exists that under Section 409A
results in the excess being recognized and reported as income on the former employees W-2 and the
exercise price of the affected option (reduced by any gain that had become subject to tax in a
prior year because of an earlier triggering event). As of September 30, 2007, we anticipate that
these income tax reimbursements will be up to approximately $0.8 million based on the current fair
market value of our Class A common stock on the exercise date and will be paid from cash flows from
operating activities as the triggering event occurs for each option holder, beginning in the third
quarter of fiscal year 2008. In the first quarter of fiscal year 2008, we charged approximately
$0.8 million to wages and benefits in our Consolidated Statement of Income related to these income
tax reimbursements based on the current fair market value of our Class A common stock as of
September 30, 2007. The estimated liability related to these income tax reimbursements will be
adjusted to reflect changes in the current fair market value of our Class A common stock each
quarter until the options are exercised.
In the first quarter of fiscal year 2008, we amended the exercise price of outstanding stock
options of certain current executive officers in order to re-price all or a portion of the
respective option grant to the correct accounting measurement date to avoid adverse tax
consequences to individual option holders under Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code. We will
pay cash payments in the aggregate amount of $0.3 million in accordance with the terms of the
amendment, which will be paid in the third quarter of fiscal year 2008 from cash flows from
operating activities. Of the $0.3 million cash payment, approximately $43,000 was charged to wages
and benefits in our Consolidated Statement of Income in fiscal year 2007, and the balance was
charged to additional paid-in capital in our Consolidated Balance Sheet.
Other
At September 30, 2007, we had cash and cash equivalents of $246 million compared to $307.3 million
at June 30, 2007. Our working capital (defined as current assets less current liabilities)
increased $148.5 million to $988.2 at September 30, 2007 from $839.7 million at June 30, 2007. Our
current ratio (defined as total current assets divided by total current liabilities) was 2.1 and
2 at September 30, 2007 and June 30, 2007, respectively. Our debt-to-capitalization ratio
(defined as the sum of short-term and long-term debt divided by the sum of short-term and long-term
debt and equity) was 53% and 54% at September 30, 2007 and June 30, 2007, respectively.
We believe that available cash and cash equivalents, together with cash generated from operations
and available borrowings under our Credit Facility, will provide adequate funds for our anticipated
internal growth and operating needs, including capital expenditures, and will meet the cash
requirements of our contractual obligations. However, due to the additional borrowings made in
relation to our share repurchase programs and if we utilize the unused portion of our Credit
Facility to repay the Senior Notes or for other corporate purposes, our indebtedness and interest
expense would increase, possibly significantly, and our indebtedness could be substantial in
relation to our stockholders equity. Should interest rates continue to rise, our interest expense
could increase, possibly significantly, and impact our results of operations and cash flows. We
believe that our expected cash flow provided by operating activities, and anticipated access to the
unused portion of our Credit Facility and capital markets will be adequate for our expected
liquidity needs, including capital expenditures, and to meet the cash requirements of our
contractual obligations. In addition, we intend to continue our growth through acquisitions, which
could require significant commitments of capital. In order to pursue such opportunities we may be
required to incur debt or to issue additional potentially dilutive securities in the future. No
assurance can be given as to our future acquisitions and expansion opportunities and how such
opportunities will be financed.

|
In June 2006, we entered into a two year agreement with Rich Capital, LLC, an M&A
advisory firm owned by Jeffery A. Rich, a former Chief Executive Officer, to provide us
with advisory services in connection with potential acquisition candidates. This
contractual obligation is included in purchase obligations in the table above. However, we
have currently suspended payment under this agreement pending determination whether Rich
Capital, LLC is capable of performing its obligations under the contract in view of the
internal investigations conclusions regarding stock options awarded to Mr. Rich. |
We expect to contribute approximately $14 million to our pension plans in fiscal year 2008.
Minimum pension funding requirements are not included in the table above as such amounts are zero
for our pension plans as of September 30, 2007. Please see Managements Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations Critical Accounting Policies for discussion of our
pension plans.
Certain contracts, primarily in our Government segment, require us to provide a surety bond or a
letter of credit as a guarantee of performance. As of
September 30, 2007, $453.2 million of our
outstanding surety bonds and $92.7 million of our outstanding letters of credit secure our
performance of contractual obligations with our clients. Approximately $20.9 million of letters of
credit secure our casualty insurance and vendor programs and other corporate obligations. In
general, we would only be liable for the amount of these guarantees in the event of default in our
performance of our obligations under each contract; the probability of which we believe is remote.
We believe that we have sufficient capacity in the surety markets and liquidity from our cash flow
and our Credit Facility to respond to future requests for proposals.
We are obligated to make contingent payments to former shareholders of acquired entities upon
satisfaction of certain contractual criteria in conjunction with certain acquisitions. During the
first quarter of fiscal year 2008, we made contingent consideration payments of $23.7 million,
related to acquisitions completed in prior years, of which $20.9 million was accrued at June 30,
2007. As of September 30, 2007, the maximum aggregate amount of the outstanding contingent
obligations to former shareholders of acquired entities is approximately $62.4 million. Upon
satisfaction of the specified contractual criteria, such payments primarily result in a
corresponding increase in goodwill.
As of September 30, 2007, we have accrued approximately $7.5 million to be paid to current and
former employees related to stock option repricing as the result of our internal investigation of
our stock option grant practices. Please see Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations Liquidity and Capital Resources above.
32
As discussed in Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations Significant Developments
above, we adopted the provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in
Income Taxes an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 (FIN 48) as of July 1, 2007. As
of September 30, 2007, we had gross reserves for uncertain tax positions totaling $54.8 million. We
are unable to make a reasonably reliable estimate as to when a cash settlement with a taxing
authority will occur.
We have indemnified Lockheed Martin Corporation against certain specified claims from certain
pre-sale litigation, investigations, government audits and other issues related to the sale of a
majority of our Federal government business to Lockheed Martin Corporation completed in November
2003. Our contractual maximum exposure under these indemnifications is $85 million; however, we
believe the actual exposure to be significantly less. As of September 30, 2007, other accrued
liabilities include a reserve for these claims in an amount we believe to be adequate at this time.
As discussed in Note 13 to our Consolidated Financial Statements, we have agreed to indemnify
ManTech International Corporation with respect to the DOJ investigation related to purchasing
activities at Hanscom during the period 1998 to 2000.
Our Education Services business, which is included in our Commercial segment, performs third party
student loan servicing in the Federal Family Education Loan program (FFEL) on behalf of various
financial institutions. We service these loans for investors under outsourcing arrangements and do
not acquire any servicing rights that are transferable by us to a third party. At September 30,
2007, we serviced a FFEL portfolio of approximately 2.3 million loans with an outstanding principal
balance of approximately $33.7 billion. Some servicing agreements contain provisions that, under
certain circumstances, require us to purchase the loans from the investor if the loan guaranty has
been permanently terminated as a result of a loan default caused by our servicing error. If
defaults caused by us are cured during an initial period, any obligation we may have to purchase
these loans expires. Loans that we purchase may be subsequently cured, the guaranty reinstated and
the loans repackaged for sale to third parties. We evaluate our exposure under our purchase
obligations on defaulted loans and establish a reserve for potential losses, or default liability
reserve, through a charge to the provision for loss on defaulted loans purchased. The reserve is
evaluated periodically and adjusted based upon managements analysis of the historical performance
of the defaulted loans. As of September 30, 2007, other accrued liabilities include reserves which
we believe to be adequate.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The preparation of our financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets
and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, and the reported amounts of
revenues and expenses. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other
assumptions or conditions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual
results could differ from those estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
Critical accounting policies are defined as those that are reflective of significant judgments and
uncertainties and may result in materially different results under different assumptions and
conditions. We believe that the following critical accounting policies used in the preparation of
our Consolidated Financial Statements involve significant judgments and estimates.
Revenue Recognition
A significant portion of our revenue is recognized based on objective criteria that do not require
significant estimates or uncertainties. For example, transaction volumes and time and material and
cost reimbursable arrangements are based on specific, objective criteria under the contracts.
Accordingly, revenues recognized under these methods do not require the use of significant
estimates that are susceptible to change. Revenue recognized using the percentage-of-completion
accounting method does require the use of estimates and judgment as discussed below.
Our policy follows the guidance from SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin 104 Revenue Recognition (SAB
104), unless the transaction is within the scope of other specific authoritative guidance. SAB 104
provides guidance on the recognition, presentation, and disclosure of revenue in financial
statements and updates Staff Accounting Bulletin Topic 13 to be consistent with Emerging Issues
Task Force Issue No. 00-21, Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables (EITF 00-21). We
recognize revenues when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the services have been
provided to the client, the fee is fixed or determinable, and collectibility is reasonably assured.
During fiscal year 2007, approximately 74% of our revenue was recognized based on transaction
volumes, approximately 9% was fixed fee based, wherein our revenue is earned as we fulfill our
performance obligations under the arrangement, approximately 5% was related to cost reimbursable
contracts, approximately 5% of our revenue was recognized using percentage-of-completion accounting
and the remainder is related to time and material contracts. Our revenue mix is subject to change
due to the impact of acquisitions, divestitures and new business.
33
Revenues on cost reimbursable contracts are recognized by applying an estimated factor to costs as
incurred, such factor being determined by the contract provisions and prior experience. Revenues on
unit-price contracts are recognized at the contractual selling prices of work completed and
accepted by the client. Revenues on time and material contracts are recognized at the contractual
rates as the labor hours and direct expenses are incurred.
Revenues for business process outsourcing services are recognized as services are rendered,
generally on the basis of the number of accounts or transactions processed. Information technology
processing revenues are recognized as services are provided to the client, generally at the
contractual selling prices of resources consumed or capacity utilized by our clients. Revenues from
annual maintenance contracts are deferred and recognized ratably over the maintenance period.
Revenues from hardware sales are recognized upon delivery to the client and when uncertainties
regarding customer acceptance have expired.
Revenues on certain fixed price contracts where we provide information technology system
development and implementation services are recognized over the contract term based on the
percentage of development and implementation services that are provided during the period compared
with the total estimated development and implementation services to be provided over the entire
contract using Statement of Position 81-1, Accounting for Performance of Construction-Type and
Certain Production-Type Contracts (SOP 81-1). SOP 81-1 requires the use of
percentage-of-completion accounting for long-term contracts that are binding agreements between us
and our customers in which we agree, for compensation, to perform a service to the customers
specifications. These services require that we perform significant, extensive and complex design,
development, modification and implementation activities for our customers systems. Performance
will often extend over long periods, and our right to receive future payment depends on our future
performance in accordance with the agreement.
The percentage-of-completion methodology involves recognizing probable and reasonably estimable
revenue using the percentage of services completed, on a current cumulative cost to estimated total
cost basis, using a reasonably consistent profit margin over the period. Due to the longer term
nature of these projects, developing the estimates of costs often requires significant judgment.
Factors that must be considered in estimating the progress of work completed and ultimate cost of
the projects include, but are not limited to, the availability of labor and labor productivity, the
nature and complexity of the work to be performed, and the impact of delayed performance. If
changes occur in delivery, productivity or other factors used in developing the estimates of costs
or revenues, we revise our cost and revenue estimates, which may result in increases or decreases
in revenues and costs, and such revisions are reflected in income in the period in which the facts
that give rise to that revision become known.
EITF 00-21 addresses the accounting treatment for an arrangement to provide the delivery or
performance of multiple products and/or services where the delivery of a product or system or
performance of services may occur at different points in time or over different periods of time.
EITF 00-21 does not impact the use of SOP 81-1 for contract elements that fall within the scope of
SOP 81-1, such as the implementation or development of an information technology system to client
specifications under a long-term contract. Where an implementation or development project is
contracted with a client, and we will also provide services or operate the system over a period of
time, EITF 00-21 provides the methodology for separating the contract elements and allocating total
arrangement consideration to the contract elements but does not stipulate the revenue recognition
methodology that should be applied to these separate elements. In certain instances where revenue
cannot be allocated to a contract element delivered earlier than other elements, costs of delivery
are deferred and recognized as the subsequent elements are delivered. Costs deferred cannot exceed
the relative fair value of the related element. We adopted the provisions of EITF 00-21 on a
prospective basis for transactions entered into or modified after July 1, 2003.
Revenues earned in excess of related billings are accrued, whereas billings in excess of revenues
earned are deferred until the related services are provided. We recognize revenues for
non-refundable, upfront implementation fees on a straight-line basis over the period between the
initiation of the ongoing services through the end of the contract term.
Cost of revenues
We present cost of revenues in our Consolidated Statements of Income based on the nature of the
costs incurred. Substantially all these costs are incurred in the provision of services to our
customers. The selling, general and administrative costs included in cost of revenues are not
material and are not separately presented in the Consolidated Statements of Income.
Contingencies
We account for claims and contingencies in accordance with SFAS No. 5, Accounting for
Contingencies (SFAS 5). SFAS 5 requires that we record an estimated loss from a claim or loss
contingency when information available prior to issuance of our financial statements indicates that
it is probable that an asset has been impaired or a liability has been incurred at the date of the
financial statements and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. Accounting for claims
and contingencies requires us to use our judgment. We consult with legal counsel on those issues
related to litigation and seek input from other experts and advisors with respect to matters in the
ordinary course of business.
34
Our contracts with clients typically span several years. We continuously review and reassess our
estimates of contract profitability. If
our estimates indicate that a contract loss will occur, a loss accrual is recorded in the
Consolidated Financial Statements in the period it is first identified, if allowed by relevant
accounting guidance. Circumstances that could potentially result in contract losses over the life
of the contract include decreases in volumes of transactions, variances from expected costs to
deliver our services, and other factors affecting revenues and costs.
Valuation of goodwill and intangibles
Due to the fact that we are primarily a services company, our business acquisitions typically
result in significant amounts of goodwill and other intangible assets, which affect the amount of
future period amortization expense and possible expense we could incur as a result of an
impairment. In addition, in connection with our revenue arrangements, we incur costs to originate
long-term contracts and to perform the transition and setup activities necessary to enable us to
perform under the terms of the arrangement. We capitalize certain incremental direct costs which
are related to the contract origination or transition, implementation and setup activities and
amortize them over the term of the arrangement. From time to time, we also provide certain
inducements to customers in the form of various arrangements, including contractual credits, which
are capitalized and amortized as a reduction of revenue over the term of the contract. The
determination of the value of goodwill and other intangibles requires us to make estimates and
assumptions about future business trends and growth. In addition to our annual impairment testing,
we continually evaluate whether events and circumstances have occurred that indicate the balance of
goodwill or intangible assets may not be recoverable. In evaluating goodwill for impairment, we
compare the estimated fair value of the reporting unit to its underlying book value. In evaluating
intangible assets for impairment, we compare the estimated fair value of the intangible asset to
its underlying book value. Such evaluation is significantly impacted by estimates and assumptions
of future revenues, costs and expenses and other factors. If an event occurs which would cause us
to revise our estimates and assumptions used in analyzing the value of our goodwill or other
intangible assets, such revision could result in a non-cash impairment charge that could have a
material impact on our financial results.
Valuation of property, equipment and software
We continually evaluate whether events and circumstances have occurred that indicate the balance of
our property, equipment and software may not be recoverable. Such evaluation is significantly
impacted by estimates and assumptions of future revenues, costs and expenses and other factors. If
an event occurs which would cause us to revise our estimates and assumptions used in analyzing the
value of our property, equipment and software, such revision could result in a non-cash impairment
charge that could have a material impact on our financial results.
Stock-Based Compensation
We adopted SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based Payment (SFAS 123(R)) as of July 1, 2005.
SFAS 123(R) requires us to recognize compensation expense for all stock-based payment arrangements
based on the fair value of the stock-based payment on the date of grant. We elected the modified
prospective application method for adoption, which requires compensation expense to be recorded for
all stock-based awards granted after July 1, 2005 and for all unvested stock options outstanding as
of July 1, 2005, beginning in the first quarter of adoption. For all unvested options outstanding
as of July 1, 2005, the remaining previously measured but unrecognized compensation expense, based
on the fair value using revised grant dates as determined in connection with our internal
investigation into our stock option grant practices (please see Note 13 to our Consolidated
Financial Statements) will be recognized as wages and benefits in the Consolidated Statements of
Income on a straight-line basis over the remaining vesting period. For stock-based payment
arrangements granted subsequent to July 1, 2005, compensation expense, based on the fair value on
the date of grant, will be recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Income in wages and
benefits on a straight-line basis over the vesting period. In determining the fair value of stock
options, we use the Black-Scholes option pricing model that employs the following assumptions:
|
|
|
Expected volatility of our stock price based on historical monthly volatility over the
expected term based on daily closing stock prices. |
|
|
|
|
Expected term of the option based on historical employee stock option exercise behavior
and the vesting and contractual terms of the respective option. |
|
|
|
|
Risk-free interest rate for periods within the expected term of the option. |
|
|
|
|
Expected dividend yield. |
Our stock price volatility and expected option lives are based on managements best estimates at
the time of grant, both of which impact the fair value of the option calculated under the
Black-Scholes methodology and, ultimately, the expense that will be recognized over the vesting
term of the option.
SFAS 123(R) requires that we recognize compensation expense for only the portion of stock-based
payment arrangements that are expected to vest. Therefore, we apply estimated forfeiture rates that
are based on historical employee termination behavior. We periodically adjust the estimated
forfeiture rates so that only the compensation expense related to stock-based payment arrangements
that vest are included in wages and benefits. If the actual number of forfeitures differs from
those estimated by management, additional adjustments to compensation expense may be required in
future periods.
35
Pension and post-employment benefits
SFAS No. 87, Employers Accounting for Pensions (SFAS 87), establishes standards for reporting
and accounting for pension benefits provided to employees. On June 30, 2007, we adopted SFAS No.
158 Employers Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans An
Amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106, and 132R (SFAS 158). This Statement requires
recognition of the funded status of a defined benefit plan in the statement of financial position
as an asset or liability if the plan is overfunded or underfunded, respectively. Changes in the
funded status of a plan are required to be recognized in the year in which the changes occur, and
reported in comprehensive income as a separate component of stockholders equity. Further, certain
gains and losses that were not previously recognized in the financial statements are required to be
reported in comprehensive income, and certain disclosure requirements were changed. SFAS 158
also requires the measurement date of the plans funded status to be the same as the companys
fiscal year end. There was no change to our June 30 measurement date as a result of the adoption
of SFAS 158.
We made assumptions of discount rate, long-term rate of return on assets and rate of increase in
compensation levels in order to determine our benefit obligations and net periodic benefit costs.
These assumptions are described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2007.
There have been no changes to our assumptions since that filing.
Allowance for doubtful accounts
We make estimates of the collectibility of our accounts receivable. We specifically analyze
accounts receivable and historical bad debts, customer credit-worthiness, current economic trends,
and changes in our customer payment terms and collection trends when evaluating the adequacy of our
allowance for doubtful accounts. Any change in the assumptions used in analyzing a specific account
receivable may result in additional allowance for doubtful accounts being recognized in the period
in which the change occurs.
Income taxes
The determination of our provision for income taxes requires significant judgment, the use of
estimates, and the interpretation and application of complex tax laws. Significant judgment is
required in assessing the timing and amounts of deductible and taxable items. We establish
reserves when, despite our belief that our tax return positions are fully supportable, we believe
that certain positions may be challenged and that we may not succeed. We adjust these reserves in
light of changing facts and circumstances. Our provision for income taxes includes the impact of
these reserve changes. In the event that there is a significant unusual or one-time item recognized
in our operating results, the taxes attributable to that item would be separately calculated and
recorded at the same time as the unusual or one-time item.
Deferred income taxes are determined based on the difference between financial statement and tax
bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the years in which such
differences are expected to reverse. We routinely evaluate all deferred tax assets to determine
the likelihood of their realization.
Effective July 1, 2007, we adopted the provisions of FIN 48, which clarifies the accounting for and
disclosure of uncertainty in tax positions. Additionally, FIN 48 provides guidance on the
recognition, measurement, de-recognition, classification and disclosure of tax positions and on the
accounting for related interest and penalties. Please see Managements Discussion and Analysis
Significant Developments Adoption of FIN 48 for a discussion of the adoption of FIN 48 and
the impact on our financial condition and results of operations.
NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
Please see Note 14 to our Consolidated Financial Statements for a discussion of recent accounting
pronouncements.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
We are exposed to market risk from changes in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates.
Our Credit Facility is a variable rate facility that is tied to LIBOR. Based on our outstanding
variable rate debt of $1.14 billion at September 30, 2007, net of $700 million under our interest
rate swap agreement (please see Note 10 to our Consolidated Financial Statements), a 100 basis
point change in LIBOR would change annual interest costs by approximately $11.4 million.
As of September 30, 2007, there have been no other material changes in our market risk from June
30, 2007. For further information regarding our market risk, refer to our Annual Report on Form
10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007.
36
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, has
evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e)
of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) as of September 30, 2007. Based on such evaluation, our
principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that such disclosure
controls and procedures were operating effectively as of September 30, 2007. There have not been
any changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Exchange Act Rule
13a-15(f) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) during the quarter ended September 30, 2007 that
have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over
financial reporting.
