(UNAUDITED)
1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
We are a Fortune 500 and S&P 500 company with approximately 58,000 employees providing business
process and information technology services to commercial and government clients. We were
incorporated in Delaware on June 8, 1988 and are based in Dallas, Texas. Our clients have
time-critical, transaction-intensive business and information processing needs, and we typically
service these needs through long-term contracts. The consolidated financial statements are
comprised of our accounts and the accounts of our controlled subsidiaries. All significant
inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
The financial information presented should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial
statements for the year ended June 30, 2006. The foregoing unaudited consolidated financial
statements reflect all adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair
presentation of the results of the interim periods. The results for the interim periods are not
necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the year.
Significant accounting policies are detailed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the fiscal
year ended June 30, 2006. For a discussion of our critical accounting policies, please refer to
Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
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.
Financial results for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2006 have been restated as a result
of the review of our stock option grant practices and other tax matters discussed in Note 2. Please
see Note 2 to our Consolidated Financial Statements and our Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the
fiscal year ended June 30, 2006 for further discussion of this restatement.
2. REVIEW OF STOCK OPTION GRANT PRACTICES
On March 3, 2006 we received notice from the Securities and Exchange Commission that it is
conducting an informal investigation into certain stock option grants made by us from October 1998
through March 2005. On June 7, 2006 and on June 16, 2006 we received requests from the SEC for
information on all of our stock option grants since 1994. We have responded to the SECs requests
for information and are cooperating in the informal investigation.
On May 17, 2006, we received a grand jury subpoena from the United States District Court, Southern
District of New York requesting production of documents related to granting of our stock option
grants. We have responded to the grand jury subpoena and have provided documents to the United
States Attorneys Office in connection with the grand jury proceeding. We have informed the
Securities and Exchange Commission and the United States Attorneys Office for the Southern
District of New York of the results of our internal investigation into our stock option grant
practices and will continue to cooperate with these governmental entities and their investigations.
We initiated an internal investigation of our stock option grant practices in response to the
pending informal investigation by the Securities and Exchange Commission and a subpoena from a
grand jury in the Southern District of New York. The investigation reviewed our historical stock
option grant practices during the period from 1994 through 2005, including all 73 stock option
grants made by us during this period, and the related disclosure in our Form 10-Q for the quarter
ended March 31, 2006, filed May 15, 2006 (the May 2006 Form 10-Q).
The investigation was overseen by a special committee of the Board of Directors which consisted of
all the independent members of the Board. The special committee retained Bracewell & Giuliani LLP
as independent counsel to conduct the internal investigation. In November 2006 the results of the
investigation were reported to the special committee, at which time the committee submitted
recommendations for action to the Board. These recommendations have been implemented by the Board
substantially as submitted by the special committee.
During the course of the investigation, more than 2 million pages of electronic and hardcopy
documents and emails were reviewed. In addition, approximately 40 interviews of current and former
officers, directors, employees and other individuals were conducted. The independent directors, in
their role as special committee members and as independent directors prior to formation of the
committee, met extensively since the SEC informal investigation commenced to consider the matters
related to the stock option grant practices. The investigation was necessarily limited in that the
investigation team did not have access to certain witnesses with relevant
4
AFFILIATED COMPUTER SERVICES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
information (including former Chief Executive Officer, Jeffrey A. Rich) and due to the lack of
metadata for certain electronic documentation prior to 2000.
The following background pertaining to our historical stock option grant practices was confirmed
through the investigation. Option grants were typically initiated by our senior management or
Darwin Deason, Chairman of the Board (and chairman of the compensation committee from 1994 through
August 2003), on a prospective basis at times when they believed it was appropriate to consider
option grants and the price of our common stock was relatively low based on an analysis of, among
other things, price-earnings multiples. With respect to each grant of options to senior
executives, the Chairman gave a broad authorization to the CEO which included approval of option
recipients and the number of stock options to be awarded to each recipient. In the case of
non-senior management grants, the Chairman gave his general authorization for the awarding of
options and the CEO would subsequently obtain his approval of option recipients and the number of
stock options to be awarded. With respect to both senior executive and non-senior management
grants, after the Chairmans broad authorization, Jeffrey A. Rich, Mark A. King and/or Warren D.
Edwards then selected the date to be recorded as the grant date as they, assisted by employees who
reported to them, prepared the paperwork that documented the grant recommendations to be considered
by the applicable compensation committee. Thus, between 1994 and 2005, grant dates and related
exercise prices were generally selected by Mr. Rich, Mr. King, and/or Mr. Edwards. Mr. Rich served
as CFO during the period prior to 1994 and until May 1995, President and Chief Operating Officer
from May 1995 until February 1999, President and Chief Executive Officer from February 1999 until
August 2002, and Chief Executive Officer from August 2002 until his resignation September 29, 2005.
Mr. King served as CFO from May 1995 through March 2001, COO from March 2001 through August 2002,
President and COO from August 2002 through September 2005, and President and CEO from September
2005 through November 26, 2006. Mr. Edwards served as CFO from March 2001 through November 26,
2006.
As described in our May 2006 Form 10-Q, our regular and special compensation committees used
unanimous written consents signed by all members of the committee ratifying their prior verbal
approvals of option grants to senior executives or options granted in connection with significant
acquisitions. In connection with option grants to senior executives, the historical practice was
for the Chairman, on or about the day he gave senior management his broad authorization to proceed
with preparing paperwork for option grants, to call each of the compensation committee members to
discuss and obtain approval for the grants. In cases where grants were awarded to senior
executives and in large blocks to non-senior management the Chairman and members of the
compensation committee discussed grants to senior executives specifically and, on certain
occasions, acknowledged generally that a block of grants would be awarded to non-senior management
as well. For grants to non-senior management which were not combined with senior executive grants,
the Chairman and the committee members generally did not discuss the grants at the time the
Chairman gave his broad authorization to senior management to proceed with preparing paperwork for
option grants, but unanimous written consents were subsequently signed by the committee members in
order to document the effective date of the grants.
The investigation concluded that in a significant number of cases Mr. Rich, Mr. King and/or Mr.
Edwards used hindsight to select favorable grant dates during the limited time periods after Mr.
Deason had given the officers his authorization to proceed to prepare the paperwork for the option
grants and before formal grant documentation was submitted to the applicable compensation
committee. No evidence was found to suggest that grant dates which preceded Mr. Deasons broad
authorization were ever selected. In a number of instances, our stock price was trending downward
at the time Mr. Deasons authorization was given, but started to rise as the grant recommendation
memoranda were being finalized. The investigation found that in those instances Mr. Rich, Mr. King
and/or Mr. Edwards often looked back in time and selected as the grant date a date on which the
price was at a low, notwithstanding that the date had already passed and the stock price on the
date of the actual selection was higher. Recommendation memoranda attendant to these grants were
intentionally misdated at the direction of Mr. Rich, Mr. King and/or Mr. Edwards to make it appear
as if the memoranda had been created at or about the time of the chosen grant date, when in fact,
they had been created afterwards. As a result, stock options were awarded at prices that were at,
or near, the quarterly low and we effectively granted in the money options without recording the
appropriate compensation expense.
The evidence gathered in the investigation disclosed that aside from Mr. Rich, Mr. King and Mr.
Edwards, one other of our current management employees, who is not an executive officer or
director, was aware of the intentional misdating of documents. Based on the evidence reviewed, no
other current executives, directors or management employees were aware of either the improper use
of hindsight in selecting grant dates or the intentional misdating of documents. It was also
determined that these improper practices were generally followed with respect to option grants made
to both senior executives and other employees. No evidence was found to suggest that the practices
were selectively employed to favor executive officers over other employees.
Further, with respect to our May 2006 Form 10-Q, the investigation concluded that Note 3 to the
Consolidated Financial Statements which stated, in part, that we did not believe that any director
or officer of the Company has engaged in the intentional backdating of stock option grants in order
to achieve a more advantageous exercise price, was inaccurate because, at the time the May 2006
Form 10-Q was filed, Mr. King and Mr. Edwards either knew or should have known that we awarded
options through a process in which
5
AFFILIATED COMPUTER SERVICES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
favorable grant dates were selected with the benefit of hindsight in order to achieve a more
advantageous exercise price and that the term backdating was readily applicable to our option
grant process. Neither Mr. King nor Mr. Edwards told our directors, outside counsel or independent
accountants that our stock options were often granted by looking back and taking advantage of past
low prices. Instead, both Mr. King and Mr. Edwards attributed the disparity between recorded grant
dates and the creation dates of the paperwork attendant to the stock option grants to other factors
that did not involve the use of hindsight.
The investigation concluded that the conduct of Mr. King and Mr. Edwards with regard to the
misdating of recommendation memoranda as well as their conduct with regard to the May 2006 Form
10-Q violated our Code of Ethics for Senior Financial Officers. As a result the special committee
recommended that Mr. King and Mr. Edwards should resign. Effective November 26, 2006 each of Mr.
King and Mr. Edwards resigned from all executive management positions with us. See Note 17.
Departure of Executive Officers for a discussion of the terms of their separation.
The Board of Directors appointed Lynn Blodgett, who had been serving as our Executive Vice
President and Chief Operating Officer and as a director since September 2005, as President and
Chief Executive Officer, and John Rexford, who had been serving as Executive Vice President
Corporate Development since March 2001, as Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer and
as a director, in each case effective on November 26, 2006. Mr. Blodgett and Mr. Rexford each have
served in various executive capacities with us for over ten years.
In addition to the resignations of Mr. King and Mr. Edwards and the approval of the terms of their
separation, the Board of Directors announced the following actions and decisions, which have been
implemented, as the result of the findings of our stock option investigation:
|
|
|
The stock options held by our employees (other than Messrs. King and Edwards and one
management employee) will be adjusted as necessary, with the optionees consent, to avoid
adverse tax consequences to the employee, and we will compensate such employees for any
increase in exercise price resulting from the matters which were the subject of the
internal investigation. |
|
|
|
|
Our non-employee directors, to avoid the appearance of inappropriate gain, voluntarily
agreed that with respect to any historical option grants to them which require incremental
compensation expense as a result of revised measurement dates, the exercise price will be
increased to equal the fair market value of the stock on the revised measurement date,
regardless of whether such increase is necessary to avoid adverse tax consequences to the
director. The non-employee directors will not be reimbursed to offset any individual loss
of economic benefit related to such repriced stock options. |
|
|
|
|
Another employee (not an officer as defined in Rule 16a-1(f) under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934) will be reassigned and all of such employees stock options will be
repriced so that the exercise price equals the fair market value of our stock on the proper
measurement date. |
|
|
|
|
We will consider whether to recover certain profits from Jeffrey A. Rich, former Chief
Executive Officer, which relate to stock options awarded to Mr. Rich which the internal
investigation concluded were awarded through a process in which favorable grant dates were
selected after the fact. |
|
|
|
|
We implemented a number of changes to our internal controls, including: |
|
o |
|
After reviewing the results of the investigation to date, our Board of
Directors determined that it would be appropriate to accept the resignations of Mr.
King and Mr. Edwards. Our Board of Directors has since appointed a new Chief
Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer. |
|
|
o |
|
Designating internal legal and accounting staffs to oversee the
documentation and accounting of all grants of stock options or restricted stock. |
|
|
o |
|
Monitoring industry and regulatory developments in stock option and
restricted stock awards and implementing and maintaining best practices with respect
to grants of stock options or restricted stock. |
|
|
o |
|
Adhering to the practice of making annual grants on a date certain and
through board or committee meetings, and not through a unanimous written consent process. |
We have concluded that there were accounting errors with respect to a number of stock option grants. In general, these stock options
were originally granted with an exercise price equal to the NYSE or NASDAQ closing market price for our common stock on the date
set forth on unanimous written consents signed by one or more members of the appropriate Compensation Committees. We originally
6
AFFILIATED COMPUTER SERVICES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
used the stated date of these consents as the measurement date for the purpose of accounting for
them under Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP), and as a result recorded no
compensation expense in connection with the grants.
We have concluded that a number of unanimous written consents were not fully executed or effective
on the date set forth on the consents and that using the date stated thereon as the measurement
date was incorrect. We have determined a revised measurement date for each stock option grant based
on the information now available to us. The revised measurement date reflects the date for which
there is objective evidence that the required granting actions necessary to approve the grants, in
accordance with our corporate governance procedures, were completed. The accounting guidelines we
used in determining the correct accounting measurement date for our option grants require clear
evidence of final corporate granting action approving the option grants. Therefore, while the
internal investigation did not conclude that option grant dates with respect to certain grants had
been selected with hindsight, we nevertheless concluded in many cases that the accounting
measurement dates for these grants should be adjusted because the final corporate granting action
occurred after the original grant date reflected in our unanimous written consents. In cases where
the closing market price on the revised measurement date exceeded the NYSE or NASDAQ closing market
price on the original measurement date, we have recognized compensation expense equal to this
excess over the vesting term of each option, in accordance with Accounting Principles Board Opinion
No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, (APB 25) for periods ending on or before June
30, 2005. Additionally, beginning July 1, 2005, we have recognized compensation expense in
accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based
Payment (SFAS 123(R)) based on the fair value of stock options granted, using the revised
measurement dates.
Subsequent to the delivery of the results of the investigation, we, with the approval of our Audit
Committee, have determined that the cumulative non-cash stock-based compensation expense adjustment
was material and that our consolidated financial statements for each of the first three quarters
of fiscal year ended June 30, 2006, each of the quarters in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2005 and
each of the fiscal years ended June 30, 2005 and June 30, 2004, as well as the selected
consolidated financial data for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2003 and 2002 should be restated to
record additional stock-based compensation expense resulting from stock options granted during 1994
to 2005 that were incorrectly accounted for under GAAP, and related income tax effects. Related
income tax effects include deferred income tax benefits on the compensation expense, and additional
income tax liabilities and estimated penalties and interest related to the application of Internal
Revenue Code Section 162(m) and related Treasury Regulations (Section 162(m)) to stock-based
executive compensation previously deducted, that is now no longer deductible as a result of revised
measurement dates of certain stock option grants. We have also included in our restatements
additional income tax liabilities and estimated penalties and interest, with adjustments to
additional paid-in capital and income tax expense, related to certain cash and stock-based
executive compensation deductions previously taken under Section 162(m), which we believe may now
be non-deductible as a result of information that has been obtained by us in connection with our
internal investigation, due to factors unrelated to revised measurement dates. Our decision to
restate our financial statements was based on the facts obtained by management and the special
committee.
We have determined that the cumulative, pre-tax, non-cash stock-based compensation expense
resulting from revised measurement dates was approximately $51.2 million during the period from our
initial public offering in 1994 through June 30, 2006. The corrections relate to options covering
approximately 19.4 million shares. We recorded additional stock-based compensation expense of $2.1
million for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2006 and $6.1 million and $7.5 million for the fiscal
years ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively, and $35.5 million for fiscal years ending prior
to fiscal 2004. Previously reported total revenues were not impacted by our restatement. The table
below reflects the cumulative effect on our stockholders equity during the period from our initial
public offering in 1994 through June 30, 2006 (in thousands):

(1) Estimated interest and penalties on income tax underpayment deficiencies resulting from
disallowed executive compensation deductions under Section 162(m).
Please see our Consolidated Statement of Income and Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows below for
the impact on our March 31, 2006 financial information.
In connection with the restatement of our consolidated financial statements discussed above, we
assessed the impact of the findings of our internal investigation into our historical stock option
grant practices and other tax matters on our reported income tax benefits and deductions, including
income tax deductions previously taken for cash and stock-based executive compensation under the
provisions of Section 162(m). In connection with that assessment, we determined that adjustments
were required to our (i) income tax expense previously reported in our Consolidated Statements of
Income; (ii) the tax benefits on stock option exercises previously reported in our Consolidated
Statements of Cash Flows and Consolidated Statement of Changes in Stockholders Equity and (iii)
the deferred tax assets previously reported in our Consolidated Balance Sheets, in order to give
effect to the impact of the investigation findings and those of our assessments.
In our Consolidated Statements of Income, we recorded deferred income tax benefits of $0.8 million,
$2.2 million and $2.7 million for the fiscal years ending June 30, 2006, 2005 and 2004,
respectively, and $9.6 million for periods prior to fiscal year 2004 related to the stock-based
compensation adjustments arising from revised measurement dates. Of these cumulative deferred
income tax benefits of $15.3 million, $10.2 million has been realized through June 30, 2006 upon
stock option exercises and has been reflected as a reduction of excess tax benefits previously
recorded in additional paid-in capital. At June 30, 2006 and 2005, we recorded adjustments in our
Consolidated Balance Sheets of $5.1 million and $9.2 million, respectively, to recognize deferred
income tax assets on stock-based compensation relating to unexercised stock options remaining at
those dates.

We also recorded current income tax benefits of $1.1 million, $0.6 million and $0.4 million for the
fiscal years ending June 30, 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively, and $0.1 million for periods prior
to fiscal year 2004 related to the income tax benefit of the estimated deductible interest expense
on income tax underpayment deficiencies related to disallowed cash and stock-based executive
compensation deductions previously taken under Section 162(m) as discussed in Other tax matters
below. These income tax benefits are reduced by current income tax expense of $0 million, $0.6
million and $1.2 million for the fiscal years June 30, 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively, and $2.8
million for periods prior to fiscal year 2004 related to disallowed cash based executive incentive
compensation deductions that were previously believed to qualify as a deduction under Section
162(m). The sum of these current and deferred income tax adjustments are reflected as income tax
benefit, net, in the above tables.
The components of income tax benefit, net, are as follows (in thousands):

Other tax matters
The revision of measurement dates for certain stock option grants in connection with our internal
investigation required us to assess our previous performance-based cash and stock-based executive
compensation income tax deductions previously claimed under Section 162(m) during the applicable
periods. As a result of those assessments, we have determined that certain previously claimed
stock-based executive compensation deductions under Section 162(m) upon stock option exercise are
no longer deductible as a result of revised in-the-money measurement dates. Accordingly, our
restatements include adjustments to record additional income taxes payable in the amount of $13.4
million with a corresponding reduction of excess tax benefits previously recorded in additional
paid-in capital. Our restatements also include adjustments to record additional income taxes
payable in the amount of approximately $15 million with a corresponding reduction of excess tax
benefits previously recorded in additional paid-in capital of $10.5 million and an increase in
current income tax expense of $4.5 million, related to certain cash and stock-based executive
compensation deductions previously taken under Section 162(m), which we believe may now be
non-deductible as a result of information that has been obtained by us in connection with our
internal investigation, due to factors unrelated to revised measurement dates. We have also
recorded estimated penalties and interest in the amount of $3 million, $2.5 million and $2.5
million for the years ended June 30, 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively, and $3.5 million for
periods prior to fiscal year 2004 for these estimated income tax payment deficiencies.
Through March 31, 2007, we have recorded approximately $39.7 million of additional income taxes,
estimated penalties and interest related to disallowed Section 162(m) executive compensation
deductions either resulting from revised measurement dates or due to factors unrelated to revised
measurement dates, but which were previously believed to qualify for Section 162(m) deductions. At
this time, we cannot predict when 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 these Section 162(m) issues in order to
10

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
reduce future interest that would accrue on the amounts of estimated taxes, penalties and interest.
This payment is reflected in cash flows from operating activities at March 31, 2007. At March 31,
2007, we have approximately $4.7 million of additional income taxes, estimated interest and
penalties accrued related to these disallowed Section 162(m) executive compensation deductions. At
this time, we cannot predict when the remaining Section 162(m) underpayment deficiencies, together
with interest and penalties, if any, will be paid. We expect to fund any such payments from cash
flows from operating activities.
Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code (Section 409A) provides that option holders with
options granted with a below-market exercise price, to the extent the options were not vested as of
December 31, 2004, may be subject to adverse Federal income tax consequences. Holders of these
options will likely be required to recognize taxable income at the date of vesting for those
options vesting after December 31, 2004, rather than upon exercise, on the difference between the
amount of the fair market value of our Class A common stock on the date of vesting and the exercise
price, plus an additional 20 percent penalty tax and interest on any income tax to be paid. We
will be amending the exercise price of certain outstanding stock options to avoid adverse tax
consequences to individual option holders under Section 409A and all of our employees and
executives (other than Mark A. King, former President and Chief Executive Officer; Warren D.
Edwards, former Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer; and one management employee)
will be reimbursed to offset any loss of economic benefit related to such re-priced stock options.
We will not be re-pricing all option grants for which accounting measurement dates were adjusted.
Option grants to executives and employees whose options remain
outstanding will be re-priced only to the extent necessary to avoid adverse tax consequences to the
individuals, other than Mr. King, Mr. Edwards and one management employee. Grants to certain
current and former officers and employee directors were required to be repriced on or before
December 31, 2006 in order to comply with income tax regulations, and accordingly, on December 28,
2006, we repriced awards totaling 876,800 shares held by certain current and former officers and
employee directors.
We expect to pay to certain current and former employees approximately $9 million in order to
compensate such individuals for any economic loss such individual may suffer as the result of the
use of a measurement date that resulted in the option being granted at a below market option price.
We anticipate the $9 million related to Section 409A will be paid to the affected individuals beginning in
January 2008. We expect to fund any such payment from cash flows from operating activities,
however, we have not yet determined the impact to our results of operations and financial
condition. The increased exercise prices to be paid by optionholders upon their exercise is
expected to offset a significant portion of the $9 million; however, the timing of any such exercises
cannot be determined.

Basic earnings per share of common stock is computed using the weighted

share is adjusted for the incremental shares that would be outstanding upon the assumed
exercise of stock options. Shares used in computing diluted earnings per share includes the
weighted average shares outstanding for the period used in calculating basic earnings per
share, plus the dilutive effect of stock options outstanding during the period. Share
dilution for the period presented excludes the effect of options outstanding that were
considered antidilutive because the average market price of the underlying stock did not
exceed the sum of the option exercise price, unrecognized compensation expense and windfall
tax benefits. |

3. POTENTIAL SALE OF THE COMPANY
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.
Our Board of Directors has appointed a special committee of independent directors (the Special
Committee) to evaluate our strategic alternatives, including the proposal from Mr. Deason and
Cerberus, and expects to make a recommendation to the Board of Directors following its
consideration of all strategic alternatives, including the proposal and all others received, in due
course. The Special Committee has engaged its own legal counsel and financial advisors to assist in
its review. We accrued approximately $0.6 million in legal and other costs related to this
potential transaction in the third quarter of fiscal year 2007.
4. ACQUISITIONS
In July 2006, we completed the acquisition of Primax Recoveries, Inc. (Primax), one of the
industrys oldest and largest health care cost recovery firms. The transaction was valued at
approximately $40 million, plus related transaction costs excluding contingent consideration of up
to $10 million based upon future financial performance, and was funded from cash on hand and
borrowings on our Credit Facility (defined below). The purchase price was allocated to assets
acquired and liabilities assumed based on estimated fair value as of the date of acquisition. We
acquired assets of $63.8 million and assumed liabilities of $23.8 million. We recorded $19.6
million in goodwill, which is not deductible for income tax purposes, and intangible assets of
$20.5 million. The $20.5 million of intangible assets is attributable to customer relationships
and non-compete agreements with weighted average useful lives of 11 years. This acquisition
expanded our healthcare payor offering to include subrogation and overpayment recovery services to
help our clients improve profitability while maintaining their valued relationships with plan
participants, employers and providers. The operating results of the acquired business are included
in our financial statements in the Commercial segment from the effective date of the acquisition,
July 12, 2006.
In October 2006, we completed the acquisition of Systech Integrators, Inc. (Systech), an
information technology solutions company offering an array of SAP software services. Systechs
services include SAP consulting services, systems integration and custom application development
and maintenance. The transaction was valued at approximately $63.8 million plus contingent
payments of up to $40 million based on future financial performance. The transaction was funded
with a combination of cash on hand and borrowings under our Credit Facility. We acquired assets of
$75.3 million and assumed liabilities of $11.5 million. We recorded $54.2 million in goodwill,
which is deductible for income tax purposes, and intangible assets of $6.6 million. The $6.6
million of intangible assets is attributable to customer relationships and non-compete agreements
with weighted average useful lives of 4 years. This acquisition enhanced our position as a
comprehensive provider of SAP services across numerous markets. The operating results of the
acquired business are included in our financial statements in the Commercial segment from the
effective date of the acquisition, October 2, 2006.

AFFILIATED COMPUTER SERVICES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

(UNAUDITED)
We completed one other small acquisition during the nine months ended March 31, 2007 which is
included in our Government segment.
These acquisitions are not considered material to our results of operations, either individually or
in the aggregate; therefore, no pro forma information is presented.
5. DIVESTITURES
In December 2005, we completed the divestiture of substantially all of our Government
welfare-to-workforce services business (the WWS Divestiture) to Arbor E&T, LLC (Arbor), a
wholly owned subsidiary of ResCare, Inc., for approximately $69 million, less transaction costs.
Assets sold were approximately $31.6 million and liabilities assumed by Arbor were approximately
$0.2 million, both of which were included in the Government segment. We retained the net working
capital related to the WWS Divestiture. We recognized a pretax gain of $0 and $2.5 million ($1.5
million, net of income tax) during the three and nine months ended March 31, 2007, respectively,
upon the assignment of customer contracts to Arbor. During fiscal year 2006, we recorded a gain of
$33.5 million ($20.1 million, net of income tax). The after tax proceeds from the divestiture
were primarily used for general corporate purposes.
Revenues from the WWS Divestiture were $0 and $2.9 million for the three months ended March 31,
2007 and 2006, respectively, and $0.9 million and $104 million for the nine months ended March 31,
2007 and 2006, respectively. Operating (loss) income from the WWS Divestiture, excluding the gain
on sale, was $(0.2 million) and $0.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006,
respectively, and $(1.1 million) and $6.4 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2007 and
2006, respectively.
The welfare-to-workforce services business is no longer strategic or core to our operating
philosophy. This divestiture allows us to focus on our technology-enabled business process
outsourcing and information technology service offerings.
6. RESTRUCTURING ACTIVITIES
During fiscal year 2006, we began a comprehensive assessment of our operations, including our
overall cost structure, competitive position, technology assets and operating platform and foreign
operations. As a result, we began certain restructuring initiatives and activities that are
expected to enhance our competitive position in certain markets, and recorded certain restructuring
charges and asset impairments arising from our discretionary decisions. We estimate a total of
2,400 employees will be involuntarily terminated as a result of these initiatives, consisting
primarily of offshore processors and related management; however, we anticipate that a majority of
these positions will be migrated to lower cost markets. As of March 31, 2007, approximately 2,300
employees have been involuntarily terminated.
In our Commercial segment, we recorded a restructuring charge for involuntary termination of
employees of $1.3 million and $5.9 million during the three and nine months ended March 31, 2007,
which is reflected in wages and benefits in our Consolidated Statements of Income, and $1.5 million
and $2.4 million during the three and nine months ended March 31, 2007, respectively, for lease
termination fees, impairments of facility costs and facility shutdown charges, which are reflected
as part of total operating expenses in our Consolidated Statements of Income.
In our Government segment, we recorded a restructuring charge for involuntary termination of
employees of $0.3 million and $0.7 million during the three and nine months ended March 2007,
respectively, which is reflected in wages and benefits in our Consolidated Statements of Income.
In the third quarter of fiscal year 2007, we recorded approximately $0.5 million related to the
consolidation of solution development groups within the Government segment.
The following table summarizes activity for the accrual for involuntary termination of employees
for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2007 (in thousands), exclusive of the Acquired HR
Business (defined below):

AFFILIATED COMPUTER SERVICES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
The March 31, 2007 accrual balance for involuntary termination of employees is expected to be paid
primarily in fiscal year 2007 from cash flows from operating activities. Our severance plan
provides for severance payments to be paid out over a period of time following termination based on
service.
During fiscal year 2005, we acquired the human resources consulting and outsourcing businesses of
Mellon Financial Corporation (the Acquired HR Business). In the fourth quarter of fiscal year
2006, we substantially completed the integration of the Acquired HR Business. The integration
included the elimination of redundant facilities, marketing and overhead costs, and the
consolidation of processes from the historical cost structure of the acquired Mellon organization.
The liabilities recorded at closing for the Acquired HR Business include $22.3 million in
involuntary employee termination costs for employees of the Acquired HR Business in accordance with
Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 95-3 Recognition of Liabilities in Connection with a Purchase
Business Combination. During the three and nine months ended March 31, 2007, $0.1 million and $1.4
million in involuntary employee termination payments, respectively, were made and charged against
accrued compensation bringing the total payments made to $17 million. We also recorded a $3.1
million and a $1.2 million reduction to the accrual and to goodwill in fiscal year 2006 and the
first quarter of fiscal year 2007, respectively, as a result of a change in our estimates of
severance to be paid. As of March 31, 2007, the balance of the related accrual was $1 million and
is expected to be paid primarily in fiscal year 2007 and the first quarter of fiscal year 2008 from
cash flows from operating activities with any unused balance to be credited to goodwill.

Goodwill activity for the first nine months of fiscal year 2007 was primarily due to the Primax and
Systech acquisitions (see Note 4). In the third quarter of fiscal year 2007, we paid contingent
consideration of $18 million related to the July 2005 acquisition of LiveBridge, Inc. and accrued
contingent consideration of $5 million related to the February 2004 acquisition of Truckload
Management, Inc., which was paid in April 2007. These payments were charged to goodwill.
Approximately $2.1 billion, or 79%, 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 $3.5 million and $4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006,
respectively, and $11.2 million and $11.6 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2007 and
2006, respectively, is recorded as a reduction of related contract revenue. Amortization expense
includes approximately $10.7 million and $8.8 million for acquired customer-related intangibles for
the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively, and $31.5 and $28 million for the
nine months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Amortization expense includes
approximately $5.4 million and $4.8 million for customer-related and all other intangibles for the
three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively, and $15.6 million and $14.1 million for
the nine months ended March 31, 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 9 years. The
amortization period for all other intangible assets, including trademarks, ranges from 3 to 20
years, with a weighted average of approximately 6 years.
8. OTHER ASSETS
In the third quarter of fiscal year 2007, we sold a minority interest in a professional services
company, which was accounted for under the equity method, for approximately 11.5 million Euros
(approximately $15.3 million). We recorded a gain on the sale of our minority interest of
approximately 6.9 million Euros (approximately $9.1 million) in other non-operating (income)
expense, net.
9. LONG-TERM DEBT
Credit Facility
On July 6, 2006, we amended our secured term loan facility (Term Loan Facility) under our Credit
Agreement dated March 20, 2006 (Credit Facility) and borrowed an additional $500 million on July
6, 2006 and an additional $500 million on August 1, 2006. As a result of the increase to the
facility, the Applicable Margin, as defined in the Credit Facility, increased to LIBOR plus 200
basis points. We used the proceeds of the Term Loan Facility increase to finance the purchase of
shares of our Class A common stock under the June 2006 $1 billion share repurchase authorization
(see Note 10) and for the payment of transaction costs, fees and expenses related to the increase
in the Term Loan Facility.
At March 31, 2007, we had approximately $820.9 million available under our revolving credit
facility after giving effect to outstanding indebtedness of $38.5 million and $140.6 million of
outstanding letters of credit that secure certain contractual performance and other obligations and
which reduce the availability of our revolving credit facility. At March 31, 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 of which $1.8 billion bore
interest at approximately 7.32%, and the remainder bore interest from 3.48% to 5.12%. As of March
31, 2007, we were in compliance with the covenants of our Credit Facility, as amended, as described
further below.
Following our tender offer completed in March 2006, our credit ratings were downgraded by Moodys
and Standard and Poors, both to below investment grade. Standard & Poors further downgraded us
to BB upon our announcement in June 2006 of the approval by our Board of Directors of a new $1
billion share repurchase plan. Fitch initiated its coverage of us in August 2006 at a rating of
BB, except for our Senior Notes (defined below) which were rated BB-. Standard & Poors downgraded
our credit rating further, to B+, following our announcement on September 28, 2006 that we would
not be able to file our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the period ending June 30, 2006 by the
September 28, 2006 extended deadline. On March 7, 2007, Standard & Poors raised our credit rating
to BB, reflecting the filing of our Annual and Quarterly Reports. On March 20, 2007, following the
announcement that ACS founder

AFFILIATED COMPUTER SERVICES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
Darwin Deason and private equity fund Cerberus have proposed to buy the company, all three agencies
have placed ACS on review for potential downgrade.
On September 26, 2006, we received an amendment, consent and waiver from the lenders under our
Credit Facility with respect to, among other provisions, waiver of any default or event of default
arising under the Credit Facility as a result of our failure to comply with certain reporting
covenants relating to other indebtedness, including covenants purportedly requiring the filing of
reports with either the SEC or the holders of such indebtedness, so long as those requirements are
complied with by December 31, 2006. As consideration for this amendment, consent and waiver, we
paid a fee of $2.6 million.
On December 21, 2006, we received an amendment, consent and waiver from lenders under our Credit
Facility. The amendment, consent and waiver includes the following provisions, among others:
|
(1) |
|
Consent to the delivery, on or prior to February 14, 2007,
of (i) the financial statements, accountants report and
compliance certificate for the fiscal year ended June 30,
2006 and (ii) financial statements and related compliance
certificates for the fiscal quarters ended June 30, 2006
and September 30, 2006, and waiver of any default arising
from the failure to deliver any such financial statements,
reports or certificates within the applicable time period
provided for in the Credit Agreement, provided that any
such failure to deliver resulted directly or indirectly
from the previously announced investigation of the
Companys historical stock option grant practices (the
Options Matter). |
|
|
(2) |
|
Waiver of any default or event of default arising from the
incorrectness of representations and warranties made or
deemed to have been made with respect to certain financial
statements previously delivered to the Agent as a result of
any restatement, adjustment or other modification of such
financial statements resulting directly or indirectly from
the Options Matter. |
|
|
(3) |
|
Waiver of any default or event of default which may arise
from the Companys or its subsidiaries failure to comply
with reporting covenants under other indebtedness that are
similar to those in the Credit Agreement (including any
covenant to file any report with the Securities and
Exchange Commission or to furnish such reports to the
holders of such indebtedness), provided such reporting
covenants are complied with on or prior to February 14,
2007. |
|
|
(4) |
|
Amendments to provisions relating to the permitted uses of
the proceeds of revolving loans under the Credit Agreement
that (i) increase to $500 million from $350 million the
aggregate principal amount of revolving loans that may be
outstanding, the proceeds of which may be used to satisfy
the obligations under the Companys 4.70% Senior Notes due
2010 or 5.20% Senior Notes due 2015 and (ii) until June 30,
2007, decrease to $200 million from $300 million the
minimum liquidity (i.e., the aggregate amount of the
Companys unrestricted cash in excess of $50 million and
availability under the Credit Agreements revolving
facility) required after giving effect to such use of
proceeds. |
As consideration for this amendment, waiver and consent, we paid a fee of $1.3 million. We filed
our Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2006 on February 1, 2007 and
our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2006 on January 23, 2007.
Senior Notes
On September 22, 2006, we received a letter from CEDE & Co. (CEDE) sent on behalf of certain
holders of our 5.20% Senior Notes due 2015 (the 5.20% Senior Notes) issued by us under that
certain Indenture dated June 6, 2005 (the Indenture) between us and The Bank of New York Trust
Company, N.A. (the Trustee) advising us that we were in default of our covenants under the
Indenture. The letter alleged that our failure to timely file our Annual Report on Form 10-K for
the period ending June 30, 2006 by September 13, 2006, was a default under the terms of the
Indenture. On September 29, 2006, we received a letter from CEDE sent on behalf of the same persons
declaring an acceleration with respect to the 5.20% Senior Notes, as a result of our failure to
remedy the default set forth in the September 22 letter related to our failure to timely file our
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the period ended June 30, 2006. The September 29 letter declared
that the principal amount and premium, if any, and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the
5.20% Senior Notes were due and payable immediately, and demanded payment of all amounts owed in
respect of the 5.20% Senior Notes.
On September 29, 2006 we received a letter from the Trustee with respect to the 5.20% Senior Notes.
The letter alleged that we were in default of our covenants under the Indenture with respect to the
5.20% Senior Notes, as the result of our failure to timely file our Annual Report on Form 10-K for
the period ending June 30, 2006 on or before September 28, 2006. On October 6, 2006, we received a
letter from the Trustee declaring an acceleration with respect to the 5.20% Senior Notes as a
result of our failure to timely file our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the period ending June 30,
2006 on or before September 28, 2006. The October 6, 2006 letter
18
AFFILIATED COMPUTER SERVICES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
declared the principal amount and premium, if any, and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the
5.20% Senior Notes to be due and payable immediately, and demanded payment of all amounts owed in
respect of the 5.20% Senior Notes.
In addition, our 4.70% Senior Notes due 2010 (the 4.70% Senior Notes) were also issued under the
Indenture and have identical default and acceleration provisions as the 5.20% Senior Notes. On
October 9, 2006, we received letters from certain holders of the 4.70% Senior Notes issued by us
under the Indenture, advising us that we were in default of our covenants under the Indenture. The
letters alleged that our failure to timely file our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the period
ending June 30, 2006 by September 13, 2006, was a default under the terms of the Indenture. On
November 9, 10 and 16, 2006, we received letters from CEDE sent on behalf of certain holders of our
4.70% Senior Notes, declaring an acceleration of the 4.70% Senior Notes as the result of our
failure to timely file our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the period ending June 30, 2006. The
November 9, 10 and 16, 2006 letters declared the principal amount and premium, if any, and accrued
and unpaid interest, if any, on the 4.70% Senior Notes to be due and payable immediately, and
demanded payment of all amounts owed under the 4.70% Senior Notes.
It is our position that no default has occurred under the Indenture and that no acceleration has
occurred with respect to the 5.20% Senior Notes or the 4.70% Senior Notes (collectively, the
Senior Notes) or otherwise under the Indenture. Further we have filed a lawsuit against the
Trustee in the United States District Court, Northern District of Texas, Dallas Division, seeking a
declaratory judgment affirming our position.
On December 19, 2006, we entered into an Instrument of Resignation, Appointment and Acceptance with
the Trustee and Wilmington Trust Company (herein so called), whereby the Trustee resigned as
trustee, as well as other offices or agencies, with respect to the Senior Notes, and was replaced
by Wilmington Trust Company. On January 8, 2007, the Court entered an order substituting Wilmington
Trust Company for the Bank of New York. On January 16, 2007, Wilmington Trust Company filed an
answer and counterclaim. The counterclaim seeks immediate payment of all principal and accrued and
unpaid interest on the Senior Notes. Alternatively, the counterclaim seeks damages measured by the
difference between the fair market value of the Senior Notes on or about September 22, 2006 and par
value of the Senior Notes. On February 5, 2007, we filed our answer denying the counterclaim.
On March 26, 2007, the Wilmington Trust Company filed a Motion for Summary Judgment as to our claim
and its counterclaim. Our opposition to the Motion for Summary Judgment was filed on May 7,
2007, and on that date, we also filed a Cross Motion for Summary Judgment as to our claims and
Wilmington Trust Companys counterclaim.
Unless and until there is a final judgment rendered in the lawsuit described above (including any
appellate proceedings), no legally enforceable determination can be made as to whether the failure
to timely file our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the period ending June 30, 2006 is a default
under the Indenture as alleged by the letters referenced above. If there is a final legally
enforceable determination that the failure to timely file our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the
period ending June 30, 2006 is a default under the Indenture, and that acceleration with respect to
the Senior Notes was proper, the principal and premium, if any, and all accrued and unpaid
interest, if any, on the Senior Notes would be immediately due and payable.
In the event the claim of default against us made by certain holders of the Senior Notes is upheld
in a court of law and we are required to payoff the Senior Notes, it is most likely that we would
utilize the Credit Facility to fund such payoff. Under the terms of the Credit Facility, we can
utilize borrowings under the revolving credit facility, subject to certain liquidity requirements,
or may seek additional commitments for funding under the Term Loan Facility of the Credit Facility.
We estimate we have sufficient liquidity to meet both the needs of our operations and any
potential payoff of the Senior Notes. While we do have availability under our Credit Facility to
draw funds to repay the Senior Notes, there may be a decrease in our credit availability that could
otherwise be used for other corporate purposes, such as acquisitions and share repurchases.
If our Senior Notes are refinanced or the determination is made that the outstanding balance is due
to the noteholders, the remaining unrealized loss on forward interest rate agreements reported in
other comprehensive income of $14.4 million ($9 million, net of income tax), unamortized deferred
financing costs of $2.8 million ($1.8 million, net of income tax) and unamortized discount of $0.6
million ($0.4 million, net of income tax) associated with our Senior Notes as of March 31, 2007 may
be adjusted and reported as interest expense in our Consolidated Statement of Income in the period
of refinancing or demand.

10. EQUITY
On August 15, 2006, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors granted 2,091,500 options
to employees under the 1997 Stock Incentive Plan. Based on executive managements recommendation,
no stock option grants were made to corporate executive management pending substantive
determination regarding corporate executive managements actions in the matters related to the
informal stock option investigation by the Securities and Exchange Commission and the grand jury
subpoena issued by the United States District Court, Southern District of New York. However, the
Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors agreed to grant options of 100,000 shares each to
Ann Vezina, Chief Operating Officer, Commercial Solutions Group and Tom Burlin, Chief Operating
Officer, Government Solutions Group, but those grants were deferred. The delay in the grants to
Ms. Vezina and Mr. Burlin was necessary at the time because there were insufficient shares
remaining in the 1997 Stock Incentive Plan to make the grants to Ms. Vezina and Mr. Burlin.
Subsequent to August 15, 2006, there were a number of options granted under the 1997 Stock
Incentive Plan that terminated, which options then became available to grant to other employees,
including Ms. Vezina and Mr. Burlin.
Because of the investigation into our stock option grant practices, we were unable to timely file
our Annual Report on Form 10-K and our Annual Meeting of Stockholders was delayed, and the
regularly scheduled meeting of our Board of Directors that was to have occurred in November 2006
was focused solely on stock option investigation matters and any other matters for consideration
were deferred. Under our stock option granting policy, the day prior to or the day of that
regularly scheduled November Board meeting, the Compensation Committee could have granted options
to new hires, employees receiving a grant in connection with a promotion, or persons who become ACS
employees as a result of an acquisition. On the morning of December 9, 2006, the Compensation
Committee met to discuss whether options, which were now available under the 1997 Stock Incentive
Plan, should be granted to new hires, employees receiving a grant in connection with a promotion,
or persons who became ACS employees as a result of an acquisition. After consideration of the fact
that options would have been granted in November, if the regularly scheduled Board meeting had not
deferred consideration of matters other than the stock option investigation, the Compensation
Committee met on December 9, 2006 and, as a result of their actions at that meeting, a grant of
692,000 was made to new hires, employees receiving a grant in connection with a promotion, or
persons who become ACS employees as a result of an acquisition, with such grants including 140,000
shares to Lynn Blodgett, who had been promoted to President and Chief Executive Officer; 75,000
shares to John Rexford who had been promoted to Executive Vice President and Chief Financial
Officer and named a director; and 100,000 shares each to Ms. Vezina and Mr. Burlin which grants
were in recognition of their recent promotions to Chief Operating Officers of the Commercial and
Government segments, respectively, and had been approved by the Compensation Committee on August
15, 2006 but were deferred until shares were available for grant.
In June and August 2006, our Board of Directors authorized two share repurchase programs of up to
$1 billion each of our Class A common stock. The programs, which are open ended, allow us to
repurchase our shares on the open market, from time to time, in accordance with the requirements of
the SEC rules and regulations, including shares that could be purchased pursuant to SEC Rule
10b5-1. The number of shares to be purchased and the timing of purchases will be based on the
level of cash and debt balances, general business conditions, and other factors, including
alternative investment opportunities. As of March 31, 2007, we had repurchased approximately 19.9
million shares under the June 2006 authorization at an average cost of approximately $50.30 per
share (approximately $1 billion) all of which have been retired, of which 14.4 million shares with
an average cost of approximately $50.64 per share (approximately $730.7 million) were purchased and
retired in the first quarter of fiscal year 2007. No repurchases have been made under the August
2006 authorization as of the date of this filing. We expect to fund repurchases under this
additional share repurchase program from borrowings under our Credit Facility.
In the first quarter of fiscal year 2007, we reissued approximately 57,000 treasury shares for
proceeds totaling approximately $2.9 million to fund contributions to our employee stock purchase
plan.

Additional dilution from assumed exercises of stock options is dependent upon several factors,
including the market price of our common stock. Options to purchase approximately 6,708,000 and
2,683,000 shares of common stock during the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006,
respectively, and 6,683,000 and 5,045,000 shares of common stock during the nine months ended March
31, 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
SFAS 123(R).
12. COMPREHENSIVE INCOME
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 130, Reporting Comprehensive Income (SFAS 130),
establishes standards for reporting and display of comprehensive income and its components in
financial statements. The objective of SFAS 130 is to report a measure of all changes in equity of
an enterprise that result from transactions and other economic events of the period other than
transactions with owners. Comprehensive income is the total of net income and all other non-owner
changes within a companys equity.

The amortization of unrealized loss on forward interest rate agreements relates to interest rate
hedges, which were settled in June 2005. The agreements were designated as cash flow hedges of
forecasted interest payments in anticipation of the issuance of our Senior Notes. The settlement
of the forward interest rate agreements of $19 million ($12 million, net of income tax) is
reflected in accumulated other comprehensive loss, net, and will be amortized as an increase in
reported interest expense over the term of the Senior Notes, with approximately $2.5 million to be
amortized over the next 12 months. We amortized approximately $0.6 million during both the three
months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, and approximately $1.9 million during both the nine months
ended March 31, 2007 and 2006 to interest expense.
In March 2007, we entered into a five-year amortizing interest rate swap agreement. The agreement
is designated as a cash flow hedge of forecasted interest payments on the 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. As of March
31, 2007, the notional amount of the agreement totaled $700 million. The fair value of the
agreement was $(0.6 million) reflects termination cash value. The fair value of the agreement, net
of $0.2 million income tax, was reflected in accumulated other comprehensive income.
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 March 31,
2007, the notional amount of these agreements totaled 312 million pesos (approximately $27.8 million) and expire
at various dates over the next 12 months. Upon termination of these agreements, we will purchase
Mexican pesos at the exchange rates specified in the forward agreements to be used for payments on
our forecasted Mexican peso operating costs. The unrealized gain (loss) on these foreign exchange
forward agreements is reflected in accumulated other comprehensive loss, net.

13. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
We have foreign exchange forward agreements that hedge our French operations Euro foreign exchange
exposure related to its Canadian dollar and United States dollar revenues. These agreements do not
qualify for hedge accounting under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, Accounting
for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. As a result, we recorded gains on hedging
instruments of $42,000 ($27,000, net of income tax) and $0.7 million ($0.4 million, net of income
tax) for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006,
respectively and $2.4 million ($1.6
million, net of income tax) and $0.8 million ($0.5 million, net of income tax) for the nine months
ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively, in other non-operating income, net in our Consolidated
Statements of Income. As of March 31, 2007, the notional amount of these agreements totaled $44.4
million Canadian dollars and $4 million U.S. dollars and are set to expire at various times over
the next four years. As of March 31, 2007, a liability was recorded for the related fair value of
approximately $1.9 million.
See Note 12 for a discussion of our interest rate swap and foreign exchange forward agreements.

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

(collectively with the Momentum and Levy actions, the Class Actions). The
plaintiff in each of the Class Actions purports to be an ACS stockholder 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. We have not yet filed an answer or other
responsive pleading in any of the Class Actions. On May 9, 2007, all of the Class Actions pending before the Court of Chancery
in the State of Delaware were consolidated into a single action styled In re: Affiliated Computer Services, Inc. Shareholder Litigation, Civil Action No. 2821-VCL.
In addition, on March 21, 2007, plaintiffs in the Texas State Derivative Action filed a Second
Amended Petition (Second Amended Petition). On March 26, plaintiffs in the Texas State
Derivative Action filed a Third Amended Petition. The Second and Third Amended Petitions in the
Texas State Derivative Action added to the derivative claims already raised in that lawsuit new
class action and purportedly derivative claims related to the Proposal. Specifically, the Third
Amended Petition alleges claims of 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. On May 1, 2007, we filed a pleading with the Court asserting that 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.
On April 6, 2007, Plaintiffs in the Texas Federal Derivative Action filed an Amended Complaint.
The Amended Complaint added as defendants Clifford Kendall, David Black, Henry Hortenstine, Peter
A. Bracken, William Deckelman, Jr., PriceWaterhouseCoopers LLP, and Cerberus Capital Management LP.
The Amended Petition also added to the derivative claims originally raised in the action new
purportedly derivative claims based upon the Proposal. Like the Third Amended Petition in the
Texas State Derivative Action, the Amended Complaint challenges both the process through which the
Proposal was generated and the substance of the Proposal.
The Proposal has not been recommended or accepted by ACS or by the Special Committee formed to
evaluate the Proposal and strategic alternatives to the Proposal. Accordingly, we do not believe
that the claims raised in the Class Actions and in the Texas State Derivative Action and the Texas
Federal Derivative Action related to the Proposal state a live controversy. In addition, we do not
27

believe the claims in the Class Actions or the claims related to the Proposal added to the Texas
State Derivative Action and the Texas Federal Derivative Action have merit, and we intend to
vigorously defend those claims in each lawsuit.

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 certain Edmonton, Alberta police officials.
Two Edmonton police officials have been separately charged for violation of this law. The alleged
violation relates to the subsidiarys contract with the City of Edmonton for photo enforcement
services. We acquired this subsidiary and contract from Lockheed Martin Corporation in August 2001
when we acquired Lockheed Martin IMS Corporation. The contract currently is on a month-to-month
term with revenues of approximately $0.4 million and
$0.5 million (U.S. dollars) in the third quarters of
fiscal years 2007 and 2006, respectively, and $1.7 million and $1.8 million (U.S. dollars) for the first nine
months of fiscal year 2007 and 2006, respectively. A renewal contract had been awarded to our
subsidiary in 2004 on a sole source basis, but this renewal award was rescinded by the City of
Edmonton and a subsequent request for proposals for an expanded photo enforcement contract was
issued in September 2004. Prior to announcement of any award, however, the City of Edmonton
suspended this procurement process pending the completion of the investigation by the Royal
Canadian Mounted Police which led to the February 15, 2006 summons. We conducted an internal
investigation of this matter, and based on our findings from our internal investigation, we believe
that our subsidiary has sustainable defenses to the charge. We notified the U.S. Department of
Justice and the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission upon our receipt of the summons and
continue to periodically report the status of this matter to them.
On October 31, 2006, legal counsel to the Alberta government withdrew the charge against ACS. The
charge against our subsidiary has not been withdrawn and a preliminary hearing on this matter has
been scheduled for September 7, 2007. We are unable to express an opinion as to the likely outcome
of this matter at this time. It is not possible at this time to reasonably estimate the possible
loss or range of loss, if any.
Investigation Concerning Procurement Process at Hanscom Air Force Base
One of our subsidiaries, ACS Defense, LLC, and several other government contractors received a
grand jury document subpoena issued by the U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts in
October 2002. The subpoena was issued in connection with an inquiry being conducted by the
Antitrust Division of the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ). The inquiry concerns certain IDIQ
(Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity) procurements and their related task orders, which
occurred in the late 1990s at Hanscom Air Force Base in Massachusetts. In February 2004, we sold
the contracts associated with the Hanscom Air Force Base relationship to ManTech International
Corporation (ManTech); however, we have agreed to indemnify ManTech with respect to this DOJ
investigation. The DOJ is continuing its investigation, but we have no information as to when the
DOJ will conclude this process. We have cooperated with the DOJ in producing documents in response
to the subpoena, and our internal investigation and review of this matter through outside legal
counsel will continue through the conclusion of the DOJ investigatory process. We are unable to
express an opinion as to the likely outcome of this matter at this time. It is not possible at
this time to reasonably estimate the possible loss or range of loss, if any.
Investigation Regarding Certain Child Support Payment Processing Contracts
Another of our subsidiaries, ACS State & Local Solutions, Inc. (ACS SLS), and a teaming partner
of this subsidiary, Tier Technologies, Inc. (Tier), received a grand jury document subpoena
issued by the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York in May 2003. The subpoena
was issued in connection with an inquiry being conducted by the Antitrust Division of the DOJ. We
believe that the inquiry concerns the teaming arrangements between ACS SLS and Tier on child
support payment processing contracts awarded to ACS SLS, and Tier as a subcontractor to ACS SLS, in
New York, Illinois and Ohio but may also extend to the conduct of ACS SLS and Tier with respect to
the bidding process for child support contracts in certain other states. Effective June 30, 2004,
Tier was no longer a subcontractor to us in Ohio. Our revenue from the contracts for which Tier
was a subcontractor was approximately $11.4 million for both the third quarters
of fiscal years 2007 and 2006, representing approximately 0.8% and 0.9% of our revenues for the
third quarter of fiscal years 2007 and 2006, respectively, and $33.8 million and $33.9 million for
the first nine months of fiscal year 2007 and 2006, respectively, representing approximately 0.8%
and 0.9% of our revenues for the first nine months of fiscal year 2007 and 2006, respectively. Our
teaming arrangement with Tier also contemplated the California child support payment processing
request for proposals, which was issued in late 2003; however, we did not enter into a teaming
28
AFFILIATED COMPUTER SERVICES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
agreement with Tier for the California request for proposals. Based on Tiers filings with the
Securities and Exchange Commission, we understand that on November 20, 2003 the DOJ granted
conditional amnesty to Tier in connection with this inquiry pursuant to the DOJs Corporate
Leniency Policy. The policy provides that the DOJ will not bring any criminal charges against Tier
as long as it continues to fully cooperate in the inquiry (and makes restitution payments if it is
determined that parties were injured as a result of impermissible anticompetitive conduct). In May
2006 we were advised that one of our current employees (who has not been active in our government
business segment since June 2005) and one former employee of ACS SLS, both of whom held senior
management positions in the subsidiary during the period in question, have received target letters
from the DOJ related to this inquiry. The DOJ is continuing its investigation, but we have no
information as to when the DOJ will conclude this process. We have cooperated with the DOJ in
producing documents in response to the subpoena, and our internal investigation and review of this
matter through outside legal counsel will continue through the conclusion of the DOJ investigatory
process. We are unable to express an opinion as to the likely outcome of this matter at this time.
It is not possible at this time to reasonably estimate the possible loss or range of loss, if any.
Investigation regarding Florida Workforce Contracts
On January 30, 2004, the Florida Agency for Workforce Innovations (AWI) Office of Inspector
General (OIG) issued a report that reviewed 13 Florida workforce regions, including Dade and
Monroe counties, and noted concerns related to the accuracy of customer case records maintained by
our local staff. Our total revenue generated from the Florida workforce services amounts to
approximately 0.5% of our revenues for the nine months ended March 31, 2006. We had no revenue
related to this contract in the third quarter of fiscal year 2006 or the first nine months of
fiscal year 2007. In March 2004, we filed our response to the OIG report. The principal workforce
policy organization for the State of Florida, which oversees and monitors the administration of the
States workforce policy and the programs carried out by AWI and the regional workforce boards, is
Workforce Florida, Inc. (WFI). On May 20, 2004, the Board of Directors of WFI held a public
meeting at which the Board announced that WFI did not see a systemic problem with our performance
of these workforce services and that it considered the issue closed. There were also certain
contract billing issues that arose during the course of our performance of our workforce contract
in Dade County, Florida, which ended in June 2003. However, during the first quarter of fiscal
year 2005, we settled all financial issues with Dade County with respect to our workforce contract
with that county and the settlement is fully reflected in our results of operations for the first
quarter of fiscal year 2005. We were also advised in February 2004 that the SEC had initiated an
informal investigation into the matters covered by the OIGs report, although we have not received
any request for information or documents since the middle of calendar year 2004. On March 22,
2004, ACS SLS received a grand jury document subpoena issued by the U.S. District Court for the
Southern District of Florida. The subpoena was issued in connection with an inquiry being
conducted by the DOJ and the Inspector Generals Office of the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL)
into the subsidiarys workforce contracts in Dade and Monroe counties in Florida, which also
expired in June 2003, and which were included in the OIGs report. On August 11, 2005, the South
Florida Workforce Board notified us that all deficiencies in our Dade County workforce contract
have been appropriately addressed and all findings are considered resolved. On August 25, 2004, ACS
SLS received a grand jury document subpoena issued by the U.S. District Court for the Middle
District of Florida in connection with an inquiry being conducted by the DOJ and the Inspector
Generals Office of the DOL. The subpoena relates to a workforce contract in Pinellas County in
Florida for the period from January 1999 to the contracts expiration in March 2001, which was
prior to our acquisition of this business from Lockheed Martin Corporation in August 2001.
Further, we settled a civil lawsuit with Pinellas County in December 2003 with respect to claims
related to the services rendered to Pinellas County by Lockheed Martin Corporation prior to our
acquisition of ACS SLS (those claims having been transferred with ACS SLS as part of the
acquisition), and the settlement resulted in Pinellas County paying ACS SLS an additional $600,000.
We are continuing our internal investigation of these matters through outside legal counsel and we
are continuing to cooperate with the DOJ and DOL in connection with their investigations. At this
stage of these investigations, we are unable to express an opinion as to their likely outcome. It
is not possible at this time to reasonably estimate the possible loss or range of loss, if any.
During the second quarter of fiscal year 2006, we completed the divestiture of substantially all of
our welfare-to-workforce business (See Note 5 Divestitures for further information). However, we
retained the liabilities for this business which arose from activities prior to the date of
closing, including the contingent liabilities discussed above.
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, Florida Assistant 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 is not intervening at this time 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 in 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 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.

AFFILIATED COMPUTER SERVICES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

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 March 31, 2007, outstanding surety bonds of
$524.4 million and $93.3 million of our outstanding letters of credit secure our performance of
contractual obligations with our clients. Approximately $47.3 million of letters of credit and
$1.9 million of surety bonds secure our casualty insurance and vendor programs and other corporate
obligations. In general, we would only be liable for the amount of these guarantees in the event of
default in our performance of our obligations under each contract, the probability of which we
believe is remote. We believe that we have sufficient capacity in the surety markets and liquidity
from our cash flow and our Credit Facility to respond to future requests for proposals.
In fiscal year 2006, we purchased approximately $17.3 million of U.S. Treasury Notes in conjunction
with a contract in our Government segment, and pledged them in accordance with the terms of the
contract to secure our performance. The U.S. Treasury Notes are accounted for as held to maturity
pursuant to Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 115, Accounting for Certain
Investments in Debt and Equity Securities and reflected in other assets in our Consolidated
Balance Sheets.
We are obligated to make contingent payments to former shareholders of acquired entities upon
satisfaction of certain contractual criteria in conjunction with certain acquisitions. During the
nine months of fiscal year 2007, we made contingent consideration payments of $21.1 million related
to acquisitions completed in prior years. As of March 31, 2007, the maximum aggregate amount of
the outstanding contingent obligations to former shareholders of acquired entities is approximately
$90.7 million. Upon satisfaction of the specified contractual criteria, such payments primarily
result in a corresponding increase in goodwill.
We have indemnified Lockheed Martin Corporation against certain specified claims from certain
pre-sale litigation, investigations, government audits and other issues related to the sale of the
majority of our Federal business to Lockheed Martin Corporation in fiscal year 2004. Our
contractual maximum exposure under these indemnifications is $85 million; however, we believe the
actual exposure to be significantly less. As of March 31, 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 March 31, 2007,
we serviced a FFEL portfolio of approximately 2.2 million loans with an outstanding principal
balance of approximately $32 billion. Some servicing agreements contain provisions that, under
certain circumstances, require us to purchase the loans from the investor if the loan guaranty has
been permanently terminated as a result of a loan default caused by our servicing error. If
defaults caused by us are cured during an initial period, any obligation we may have to purchase
these loans expires. Loans that we purchase may be subsequently cured, the guaranty reinstated and
then we repackage the loans for sale to third parties. We evaluate our exposure under our purchase
obligations on defaulted loans and establish a reserve for potential losses, or default liability
reserve, through a charge to the provision for loss on defaulted loans purchased. The reserve is
evaluated periodically and adjusted based upon managements analysis of the historical performance
of the defaulted loans. As of March 31, 2007, other accrued liabilities include reserves which we
believe to be adequate.
In April 2004, we were awarded a contract by the North Carolina Department of Health and Human
Services (DHHS) to replace and operate the North Carolina Medicaid Management Information System
(NCMMIS). There was a protest of the contract award; however, DHHS requested that we commence
performance under the contract. One of the parties protesting the contract has continued to seek
administrative and legal relief to set aside the contract award. However, we continued our
performance of the contract at the request of DHHS. On June 12, 2006, we reported that contract
issues had arisen and each of ACS and DHHS alleged that the other party has breached the contract.
The parties entered into a series of standstill agreements in order to permit discussion of their
respective issues regarding the contract and whether the contract would be continued or terminated.
On July 14, 2006, the DHHS sent us a letter notifying us of the termination of the contract. We
filed in the General Court of Justice, Superior Court Division, in Wake County, North Carolina, a
complaint and motion to preserve records related to the contract. Subsequent to the filing of the
complaint, North Carolina produced records and represented to the Court that all records had been
produced, after which the complaint was dismissed. In a letter dated August 1, 2006, DHHS notified
us of its position that the value of reductions in compensation assessable against the compensation
otherwise due to us under the contract is approximately $33 million. On August 14, 2006, we
provided a detailed response to that August 1, 2006 letter contending that there should be no
reductions in compensation owed to us. Also, on August 14, 2006 and in accordance with the
contract, we submitted our Termination Claim to DHHS seeking additional compensation of
approximately $27.1 million. On January 22, 2007, we filed a complaint in the General Court of
Justice, Superior Court Division, in Wake County, North Carolina against DHHS and the Secretary of
DHHS seeking to recover damages in excess of $40 million that we have suffered as the result of
actions of DHHS and its Secretary. Our claim was based on breach of contract; breach of implied
covenant of good faith and fair dealing; breach of warranty; and misappropriation of our trade
secrets. In

the complaint we also requested the court to grant a declaratory judgment that we were not in
default under the contract; and a permanent injunction against the State from using our proprietary
materials and disclosing our proprietary material to third parties. During the fourth quarter of
fiscal year 2006, we recorded a charge to revenue of approximately $3.9 million related to our
assessment of realization of amounts previously recognized for the North Carolina MMIS contract.
On March 22, 2007, we settled all issues with DHHS. Pursuant to the settlement, DHHS rescinded its
June 6, 2006 notice of intent to terminate the NCMMIS contract and its July 14, 2006 notice of
termination and the parties agreed to a mutual termination of the contract. We agreed, as part of
the settlement, to license to DHHS certain work product we produced in connection with the NCMMIS
contract and DHHS has agreed to pay us the aggregate amount of $10.5 million in four installments
beginning on or before March 31, 2007 and ending on or before June 30, 2008. We recognized $3.4
million in revenue in the third quarter of fiscal year 2007 related to this settlement. In
addition, we may provide certain new services to DHHS under new contracts with a term of two years
and will be compensated based on achieving certain levels of cost savings.
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.
17. DEPARTURE OF EXECUTIVE OFFICERS
On November 26, 2006, Mark A. King resigned as our President, Chief Executive Officer and as a
director. In connection therewith, on November 26, 2006 we and Mr. King entered into a separation
agreement (the King Agreement). The King Agreement provides, among other things, that Mr. King
will remain with us as an employee providing transitional services until June 30, 2007. In
addition, under the terms of the King Agreement, all unvested stock options held by Mr. King have
been terminated as of November 26, 2006, excluding options that would have otherwise vested prior
to August 31, 2007 which will be permitted to vest on their regularly scheduled vesting dates
provided that Mr. King does not materially breach certain specified provisions of the King
Agreement. In accordance with the King Agreement, the exercise price of Mr. Kings vested stock
options were increased to an amount equal to the fair market value of the stock on the correct
accounting measurement date as determined in conjunction with the audit of our financial statements
for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2006 and the exercise price of certain vested options were
further increased by the amount by which the aggregate exercise price of stock options previously
exercised by Mr. King would have been increased had the stock options not been previously
exercised. Mr. Kings vested options, if unexercised, will expire no later than June 30, 2008. The
King Agreement also subjects Mr. King to non-competition and non-solicitation covenants until
December 31, 2009. In addition, the King Agreement provides that Mr. Kings severance agreement
with us is terminated, Mr. Kings salary will be reduced during the transition period and Mr. King
will not be eligible to participate in our bonus plans, and Mr. King will be eligible to receive
certain of our provided health benefits through December 31, 2009, the estimated cost of which is
not material.
On November 26, 2006, Warren D. Edwards resigned as our Executive Vice President and Chief
Financial Officer. In connection therewith, on November 26, 2006 we and Mr. Edwards entered into a
separation agreement (the Edwards Agreement). The Edwards Agreement provides, among other things,
that Mr. Edwards will remain with us as an employee providing transitional services until June 30,
2007. In addition, under the terms of the Edwards Agreement, all unvested stock options held by Mr.
Edwards have been terminated as of November 26, 2006, excluding options that would have otherwise
vested prior to August 31, 2007 which will be permitted to vest on their regularly scheduled
vesting dates provided that Mr. Edwards does not materially breach certain specified provisions of
the Edwards Agreement. In accordance with the Edwards Agreement the exercise price of Mr. Edwards
vested stock options were increased to an amount equal to the fair market value of the stock on the
correct accounting measurement date as determined in conjunction with the audit of our financial
statements for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2006. Mr. Edwards vested options, if unexercised,
will expire no later than June 30, 2008. The Edwards Agreement also subjects Mr. Edwards to
non-competition and non-solicitation covenants until December 31, 2009. In addition, the Edwards
Agreement provides that Mr. Edwards severance agreement with us is terminated, Mr. Edwards salary
will be reduced during the transition period and Mr. Edwards will not be eligible to participate in
our bonus plans, and Mr. Edwards will be eligible to receive certain of our provided health
benefits through December 31, 2009, the estimated cost of which is not material.
On September 29, 2005, Jeffrey A. Rich submitted his resignation as a director and Chief Executive
Officer. On September 30, 2005 we entered into an Agreement with Mr. Rich, which, among other
things, provided the following: (i) Mr. Rich remained on our payroll and was paid his then current
base salary (of $820 thousand annually) through June 30, 2006; (ii) Mr. Rich was not eligible to
participate in our performance-based incentive compensation program in fiscal year 2006; (iii) we
purchased from Mr. Rich all options previously granted to Mr. Rich that were vested as of the date
of the Agreement in exchange for an aggregate cash payment, less applicable income and payroll
taxes, equal to the amount determined by subtracting the exercise price of each such vested option
from $54.08 per share and all such vested options were terminated and cancelled; (iv) all options
previously granted to Mr. Rich that
31

(UNAUDITED)
were unvested as of the date of the Agreement were terminated (such options had an in-the-money
value of approximately $4.6 million based on the closing price of our stock on the New York Stock
Exchange on September 29, 2005); (v) Mr. Rich received a lump sum cash payment of $4.1 million;
(vi) Mr. Rich continued to receive executive benefits for health, dental and vision through
September 30, 2007; (vii) Mr. Rich also received limited administrative assistance through
September 30, 2006; and (viii) in the event Mr. Rich established an M&A advisory firm by January 1,
2007, we agreed to retain such firm for a two year period from its formation for $250 thousand per
year plus a negotiated success fee for completed transactions. The Agreement also contains certain
standard restrictions, including restrictions on soliciting our employees for a period of three
years and soliciting our customers or competing with us for a period of two years. Mr. Rich has
established an M&A advisory firm and in June 2006, we entered into an agreement with Rich Capital
LLC, an M&A advisory firm owned by Mr. Rich. The agreement is for two years, during which time we
will pay a total of $0.5 million for M&A advisory services, payable in equal quarterly
installments. We paid $63 thousand related to this agreement through June 30, 2006. However, we
have currently suspended payment under this agreement pending a determination whether Rich Capital
LLC is capable of performing its obligations under the contract in view of the internal
investigations conclusions regarding stock options awarded to Mr. Rich.
18. NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 158, Employers Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other
Postretirement Plans (SFAS 158), SFAS 158 amends SFAS 87, Employers Accounting for Pensions,
SFAS 88, Employers Accounting for Settlements and Curtailments of Defined Benefit Pension Plans
and for Termination Benefits, SFAS 106, Employers Accounting for Postretirement Benefits Other
Than Pensions, and SFAS 132 (revised 2003), Employers Disclosures about Pensions and Other
Postretirement Benefits. SFAS 158 requires employers to recognize in its statement of financial
position an asset for a plans overfunded status or a liability for a plans underfunded status.
It also requires employers to measure plan assets and obligations that determine its funded status
as of the end of the fiscal year. Lastly, employers are required to recognize changes in the
funded status of a defined benefit postretirement plan in the year that the changes occur with the
changes reported in comprehensive income. SFAS 158 is required to be adopted by entities with
fiscal years ending after December 15, 2006. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have
a material impact on our financial condition, results of operation or liquidity.
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157 Fair Value Measurements (SFAS 157). SFAS 157
defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with U.S. GAAP,
and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. The statement clarifies that the exchange
price is the price in an orderly transaction between market participants to sell an asset or
transfer a liability at the measurement date. The statement emphasizes that fair value is a
market-based measurement and not an entity-specific measurement. It also establishes a fair value
hierarchy used in fair value measurements and expands the required disclosures of assets and
liabilities measured at fair value. SFAS 157 is effective for financial statements issued for
fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The adoption of this standard is not expected to
have a material impact on our financial condition, results of operation or liquidity.
In September 2006, the SEC released SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108, Considering the Effects
of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements,
(SAB 108), which addresses how uncorrected errors in previous years should be considered when
quantifying errors in current-year financial statements. SAB 108 requires registrants to consider
the effect of all carry over and reversing effects of prior-year misstatements when quantifying
errors in current-year financial statements. SAB 108 does not change the SEC staffs previous
guidance on evaluating the materiality of errors. It allows registrants to record the effects of
adopting SAB 108 guidance as a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings. This adjustment
must be reported in the annual financial statements of the first fiscal year ending after November
15, 2006. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material impact on our financial
condition, results of operation or liquidity.
In July 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 48 (FIN 48), Accounting for Uncertainty in
Income Taxesan interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109, which prescribes comprehensive guidelines
for recognizing, measuring, presenting and disclosing in the financial statements tax positions
taken or expected to be taken on tax returns. FIN 48, effective for fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 2006, seeks to reduce the diversity in practice associated with certain aspects of the
recognition and measurement related to accounting for income taxes. We are currently assessing the
impact of FIN 48 on our consolidated financial position and results of operations.

19. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
See Note 3 for a discussion of the proposal received from our Chairman, Darwin Deason, and
Cerberus to acquire all of the outstanding shares of the Company.
Prior to 2002 we had guaranteed $11.5 million of certain loan obligations owed to Citicorp USA,
Inc. by DDH Aviation, Inc., a corporate airplane brokerage company organized in 1997 (as may have
been reorganized subsequent to July 2002, herein referred to as DDH). Our Chairman owns a
majority interest in DDH. In consideration for that guaranty, we had access to corporate aircraft
at favorable rates. In July 2002, our Chairman assumed in full our guaranty obligations to
Citicorp and Citicorp released in full our guaranty obligations. As partial consideration for the
release of our corporate guaranty, we agreed to provide certain administrative services to DDH at
no charge until such time as DDH meets certain specified financial criteria. We anticipate that
these administrative services will cease prior to June 30, 2007 as a result of the wind down of the
DDH operations. In the first quarter of fiscal year 2003, we purchased $1 million in prepaid
charter flights at favorable rates from DDH. As of June 30, 2006, we had $0.6 million remaining in
prepaid flights with DDH. In the second quarter of fiscal year 2007, we were notified by DDH of its
intent to wind down operations; therefore, we recorded a charge of $0.6 million related to the
unused prepaid charter flights.
20. CONTRACT WITH THE DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION
The CSB contract is our largest contract. We have provided loan servicing for the Department of
Educations Direct Student Loan program for over ten years. In 2003 the Department conducted a
competitive procurement for its Common Services for Borrowers initiative (CSB). CSB was a
modernization initiative which integrated a number of services for the Department, allowing the
Department to increase service quality while saving overall program costs. In November 2003, the
Department awarded us the CSB contract. Under this contract we provide comprehensive loan
servicing, consolidation loan processing, debt collection services on delinquent accounts, IT
infrastructure operations and support, maintenance and development of information systems, and
portfolio management services for the Department of Educations Direct Student Loan program. We
are also developing software for use in delivering these services. The CSB contract has a 5-year
base term which began in January 2004 and provides the Department of Education five one-year
options to extend after the base term. We estimate that our revenues from the CSB contract will
exceed $1 billion in total over the base term of the contract. Annual revenues from this contract
represented approximately 4% of our fiscal year 2006 revenues.
Through March 31, 2007 our capitalized expenditures for software development under the CSB contract
have totaled approximately $116 million, of which approximately $39 million has been implemented
with the current production system. Our model for development of software under the CSB contract
may change and we may only be able to use a portion of the uncompleted software with the current
production system. As a result, we may incur a material, non-cash, impairment of a portion of our
remaining capitalized software development costs, which aggregate approximately $77 million.
However, we currently cannot determine the amount, if any, of this potential impairment of our
capitalized development costs.
21. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
In April 2007, we acquired certain assets of Albion, Inc., a company specializing in integrated
eligibility software solutions. The purchase price of $25.5 million, subject to certain
adjustments, was funded through a combination of cash and borrowings under our Credit Facility. We
believe this acquisition will enhance our capabilities in the Health and Human Services (HHS)
sector. The acquisition enables us to address key HHS challenges facing State and Local government
clients, including: expensive legacy systems; a need for cost effectiveness; and a client-centered
approach to service delivery. The acquired proprietary @Vantage software addresses these clients
challenges while meeting Federal financial support requirements for a commercial, off-the-shelf
(COTS) solution.
In April 2007, we acquired CDR Associated, LLC (CDR), a leading provider of credit balance audit
recovery and software services to healthcare payers, providers and State Medicaid agencies. The
purchase price of $28.2 million, plus transaction costs, was funded from cash on hand and
borrowings under our Credit Facility. We believe this acquisition strengthens our position as a
leading BPO provider to the healthcare industry. The acquisition expands our service mix in the
healthcare payer and provider markets and provides a platform to bridge the gap between the payer
and provider communities.

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
34
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 Securities and Exchange Commission (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 amounts determined in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles in the United States.
OVERVIEW
We derive our revenues from delivering comprehensive business process outsourcing and information
technology services solutions to commercial and government clients. A substantial portion of our
revenues is derived from recurring monthly charges to our clients under service contracts with
initial terms that vary from one to ten years. We define recurring revenues as revenues derived
from services that our clients use each year in connection with their ongoing businesses, and
accordingly, exclude software license fees, short-term contract programming and consulting
engagements, product installation fees, and hardware and software sales. However, as we add,
through acquisitions or new service offerings, consulting or other services to enhance the value
delivered and offered to our clients, which are primarily short-term in nature, we may experience
variations in our mix of recurring versus non-recurring revenues. Since inception, our acquisition
program has resulted in growth and diversification of our client base, expansion of services and
products offered, increased economies of scale and geographic expansion.
Management focuses on various metrics in analyzing our business and its performance and outlook.
One such metric is our sales pipeline, which was approximately $1.6 billion of annual recurring
revenues as of March 31, 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 verticals, including business process
outsourcing, commercial and government information technology services, human resources
outsourcing, healthcare, transportation 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 in our Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2006.
We use internal revenue growth as a measure of the organic growth of our business. Internal revenue
growth is measured as total revenue growth less acquired revenue from acquisitions and revenues
from divested operations. At the date of acquisition, we identify the trailing twelve months of
revenue of the acquired company as the pre-acquisition revenue of acquired companies.
Pre-acquisition revenue of the acquired companies is considered acquired revenues in our
calculation, and revenues from the acquired company, either above or below that amount are
components of internal growth in our calculation. We use the calculation of internal revenue
growth to measure revenue growth excluding the impact of acquired revenues and the revenue
associated with divested operations and we believe these adjustments to historical reported results
are necessary to accurately reflect our internal revenue growth. Revenues from divested operations
are excluded from the internal revenue growth calculation in the periods following the effective
date of the divestiture. Our measure of internal revenue growth may not be comparable to similarly
titled measures of other companies. Prior period internal revenue growth calculations are not
restated for current period divestitures.
Management analyzes new business signings on a trailing twelve month basis as it is generally a
better indicator of future growth than quarterly new business signings which can vary due to timing
of contract execution. We define new business signings as recurring revenue from new contracts,
including the incremental portion of renewals, signed during the period and represent the estimated
first twelve months of revenue to be recorded under that contract after full implementation. We use
new business signings as additional measures of estimating total revenue represented by contractual
commitments, both to forecast prospective revenues and to estimate capital commitments. Revenues
for new business signings are measured under GAAP. There are no third party standards or
requirements governing the calculation of new business signings and our measure may not be
comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies.
Renewal rates are a key indicator of client satisfaction. 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 third quarter, we renewed approximately 83% of total
renewals sought this quarter totaling approximately $161.6 million of annual recurring revenue with
a total contract value of approximately $438.2 million. For the first nine months of fiscal 2007,
we renewed approximately 93% of total renewals sought, totaling $628.5 million of annual recurring
revenue with a total contract value of approximately $1.9 billion. 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 shorter than those in the commercial 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 define total
contract value as the estimated total revenues from contracts signed during the period and
represents estimated total
35
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.
We compete for new business in the competitive IT services and business process outsourcing
markets. The overall health of these markets and the competitive environment can be determined by
analyzing several key metrics. One 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 are seeing that the overall 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 5-7%. During the first nine months of
fiscal year 2007, the overall capital intensity of our business was approximately 6.3%. During
fiscal year 2006, the overall capital intensity of our business was slightly in excess of 8% due to
approximately $60 million in investments that we made in certain areas of our business. These
investments included investments related to integrating the Acquired HR Business (defined below)
and expanding our human resources outsourcing technology platform; investments made in our
Government healthcare technology platforms; the expansion of our data center capacity with the
addition of a new data center and investments to increase global production both in existing
locations and new geographies. The expected capital intensity of new business signings during
fiscal year 2006 and the first nine months of fiscal year 2007 was consistent with our historical
range. We believe the expected capital intensity range of our new business signings reflects a
healthy competitive environment and the related risks we are taking with respects to our new IT
services and business process outsourcing business.
Retaining and training our employees is a key ingredient to our historical success and will
continue to be a major factor in our future success. We consistently review our 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 and leadership
training and will continue to do so to develop our employees and remain competitive. We utilize
incentive based compensation as a means to motivate certain of our employees in both segments of
our business and anticipate increasing our use of incentive based compensation in fiscal year 2007.
We believe our use of incentive based compensation is a competitive advantage for ACS.
REVIEW OF STOCK OPTION GRANT PRACTICES
On March 3, 2006 we received notice from the Securities and Exchange Commission that it is
conducting an informal investigation into certain stock option grants made by us from October 1998
through March 2005. On June 7, 2006 and on June 16, 2006 we received requests from the SEC for
information on all of our stock option grants since 1994. We have responded to the SECs requests
for information and are cooperating in the informal investigation.
On May 17, 2006, we received a grand jury subpoena from the United States District Court, Southern
District of New York requesting production of documents related to granting of our stock option
grants. We have responded to the grand jury subpoena and have provided documents to the United
States Attorneys Office in connection with the grand jury proceeding. We have informed the
Securities and Exchange Commission and the United States Attorneys Office for the Southern
District of New York of the results of our internal investigation into our stock option grant
practices and will continue to cooperate with these governmental entities and their investigations.
We initiated an internal investigation of our stock option grant practices in response to the
pending informal investigation by the Securities and Exchange Commission and a subpoena from a
grand jury in the Southern District of New York. The investigation reviewed our historical stock
option grant practices during the period from 1994 through 2005, including all 73 stock option
grants made by us during this period, and the related disclosure in our Form 10-Q for the quarter
ended March 31, 2006, filed May 15, 2006 (the May 2006 Form 10-Q).
The investigation was overseen by a special committee of the Board of Directors which consisted of
all the independent members of the Board. The special committee retained Bracewell & Giuliani LLP
as independent counsel to conduct the internal investigation. In November 2006 the results of the
investigation were reported to the special committee, at which time the committee submitted
recommendations for action to the Board. These recommendations have been implemented by the Board
substantially as submitted by the special committee.
36
During the course of the investigation, more than 2 million pages of electronic and hardcopy
documents and emails were reviewed. In addition, approximately 40 interviews of current and former
officers, directors, employees and other individuals were conducted. The independent directors, in
their role as special committee members and as independent directors prior to formation of the
committee, met extensively since the SEC informal investigation commenced to consider the matters
related to the stock option grant practices. The investigation was necessarily limited in that the
investigation team did not have access to certain witnesses with relevant information (including
former Chief Executive Officer, Jeffrey A. Rich) and due to the lack of metadata for certain
electronic documentation prior to 2000.
The following background pertaining to our historical stock option grant practices was confirmed
through the investigation. Option grants were typically initiated by our senior management or
Darwin Deason, Chairman of the Board (and chairman of the compensation committee from 1994 through
August 2003), on a prospective basis at times when they believed it was appropriate to consider
option grants and the price of our common stock was relatively low based on an analysis of, among
other things, price-earnings multiples. With respect to each grant of options to senior
executives, the Chairman gave a broad authorization to the CEO which included approval of option
recipients and the number of stock options to be awarded to each recipient. In the case of
non-senior management grants, the Chairman gave his general authorization for the awarding of
options and the CEO would subsequently obtain his approval of option recipients and the number of
stock options to be awarded. With respect to both senior executive and non-senior management
grants, after the Chairmans broad authorization, Jeffrey A. Rich, Mark A. King and/or Warren D.
Edwards then selected the date to be recorded as the grant date as they, assisted by employees who
reported to them, prepared the paperwork that documented the grant recommendations to be considered
by the applicable compensation committee. Thus, between 1994 and 2005, grant dates and related
exercise prices were generally selected by Mr. Rich, Mr. King, and/or Mr. Edwards. Mr. Rich served
as CFO during the period prior to 1994 and until May 1995, President and Chief Operating Officer
from May 1995 until February 1999, President and Chief Executive Officer from February 1999 until
August 2002, and Chief Executive Officer from August 2002 until his resignation September 29, 2005.
Mr. King served as CFO from May 1995 through March 2001, COO from March 2001 through August 2002,
President and COO from August 2002 through September 2005, and President and CEO from September
2005 through November 26, 2006. Mr. Edwards served as CFO from March 2001 through November 26,
2006.
As described in our May 2006 Form 10-Q, our regular and special compensation committees used
unanimous written consents signed by all members of the committee ratifying their prior verbal
approvals of option grants to senior executives or options granted in connection with significant
acquisitions. In connection with option grants to senior executives, the historical practice was
for the Chairman, on or about the day he gave senior management his broad authorization to proceed
with preparing paperwork for option grants, to call each of the compensation committee members to
discuss and obtain approval for the grants. In cases where grants were awarded to senior
executives and in large blocks to non-senior management the Chairman and members of the
compensation committee discussed grants to senior executives specifically and, on certain
occasions, acknowledged generally that a block of grants would be awarded to non-senior management
as well. For grants to non-senior management which were not combined with senior executive grants,
the Chairman and the committee members generally did not discuss the grants at the time the
Chairman gave his broad authorization to senior management to proceed with preparing paperwork for
option grants, but unanimous written consents were subsequently signed by the committee members in
order to document the effective date of the grants.
The investigation concluded that in a significant number of cases Mr. Rich, Mr. King and/or Mr.
Edwards used hindsight to select favorable grant dates during the limited time periods after Mr.
Deason had given the officers his authorization to proceed to prepare the paperwork for the option
grants and before formal grant documentation was submitted to the applicable compensation
committee. No evidence was found to suggest that grant dates which preceded Mr. Deasons broad
authorization were ever selected. In a number of instances, our stock price was trending downward
at the time Mr. Deasons authorization was given, but started to rise as the grant recommendation
memoranda were being finalized. The investigation found that in those instances Mr. Rich, Mr. King
and/or Mr. Edwards often looked back in time and selected as the grant date a date on which the
price was at a low, notwithstanding that the date had already passed and the stock price on the
date of the actual selection was higher. Recommendation memoranda attendant to these grants were
intentionally misdated at the direction of Mr. Rich, Mr. King and/or Mr. Edwards to make it appear
as if the memoranda had been created at or about the time of the chosen grant date, when in fact,
they had been created afterwards. As a result, stock options were awarded at prices that were at,
or near, the quarterly low and we effectively granted in the money options without recording the
appropriate compensation expense.
The evidence gathered in the investigation disclosed that aside from Mr. Rich, Mr. King and Mr.
Edwards, one other of our current management employees, who is not an executive officer or
director, was aware of the intentional misdating of documents. Based on the evidence reviewed, no
other current executives, directors or management employees were aware of either the improper use
of hindsight in selecting grant dates or the intentional misdating of documents. It was also
determined that these improper practices were generally followed with respect to option grants made
to both senior executives and other employees. No evidence was found to suggest that the practices
were selectively employed to favor executive officers over other employees.
The Company has made only one individual stock option grant to Mr. Deason since the Company was
founded in 1988. The investigation, after extensive analysis of the available evidence, could not
conclude that the reported grant date for this stock option
37
grant, July 23, 2002, was selected
using hindsight. Mr. Deason has never exercised any options under this single individual option
grant. (Two other option grants to Mr. Deason are being used by the Company as a means to partially
fund its retirement obligations to Mr. Deason).
Further, with respect to our May 2006 Form 10-Q, the investigation concluded that Note 3 to the
Consolidated Financial Statements which stated, in part, that we did not believe that any director
or officer of the Company has engaged in the intentional backdating of stock option grants in order
to achieve a more advantageous exercise price, was inaccurate because, at the time the May 2006
Form 10-Q was filed, Mr. King and Mr. Edwards either knew or should have known that we awarded
options through a process in which favorable grant dates were selected with the benefit of
hindsight in order to achieve a more advantageous exercise price and that the term backdating was
readily applicable to our option grant process. Neither Mr. King nor Mr. Edwards told our
directors, outside counsel or independent accountants that our stock options were often granted by
looking back and taking advantage of past low prices. Instead, both Mr. King and Mr. Edwards
attributed the disparity between recorded grant dates and the creation dates of the paperwork
attendant to the stock option grants to other factors that did not involve the use of hindsight.
The investigation concluded that the conduct of Mr. King and Mr. Edwards with regard to the
misdating of recommendation memoranda as well as their conduct with regard to the May 2006 Form
10-Q violated our Code of Ethics for Senior Financial Officers. As a result the special committee
recommended that Mr. King and Mr. Edwards should resign. Effective November 26, 2006 each of Mr.
King and Mr. Edwards resigned from all executive management positions with us. See Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations Departure of
Executive Officers below for a discussion of the terms of their separation.
The Board of Directors appointed Lynn Blodgett, who had been serving as our Executive Vice
President and Chief Operating Officer and as a director since September 2005, as President and
Chief Executive Officer, and John Rexford, who had been serving as Executive Vice President
Corporate Development since March 2001, as Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer and
as a director, in each case effective on November 26, 2006. Mr. Blodgett and Mr. Rexford each have
served in various executive capacities with us for over ten years.
In addition to the resignations of Mr. King and Mr. Edwards and the approval of the terms of their
separation, the Board of Directors announced the following actions and decisions, which have been
implemented, as the result of the findings of our stock option investigation:
|
|
|
The stock options held by our employees (other than Messrs. King and Edwards and one
management employee) will be adjusted as necessary, with the optionees consent, to avoid
adverse tax consequences to the employee, and we will compensate such employees for any
increase in exercise price resulting from the matters which were the subject of the
internal investigation. |
|
|
|
|
Our non-employee directors, to avoid the appearance of inappropriate gain, voluntarily
agreed that with respect to any historical option grants to them which require incremental
compensation expense as a result of revised measurement dates, the exercise price will be
increased to equal the fair market value of the stock on the revised measurement date,
regardless of whether such increase is necessary to avoid adverse tax consequences to the
director. The non-employee directors will not be reimbursed to offset any individual loss
of economic benefit related to such repriced stock options. |
|
|
|
|
Another employee (not an officer as defined in Rule 16a-1(f) under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934) will be reassigned and all of such employees stock options will be
repriced so that the exercise price equals the fair market value of our stock on the proper
measurement date. |
|
|
|
|
We will consider whether to recover certain profits from Jeffrey A. Rich, former Chief
Executive Officer, which relate to stock options awarded to Mr. Rich which the internal
investigation concluded were awarded through a process in which favorable grant dates were
selected after the fact. |
|
|
|
|
We implemented a number of changes to our internal controls, including: |
|
o |
|
After reviewing the results of the investigation to date, our Board of
Directors determined that it would be appropriate to accept the resignations of Mr.
King and Mr. Edwards. Our Board of Directors has since appointed a new Chief
Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer. |
|
|
o |
|
Designating internal legal and accounting staffs to oversee the
documentation and accounting of all grants of stock options or restricted stock. |
|
|
o |
|
Monitoring industry and regulatory developments in stock option and
restricted stock awards and implementing and maintaining best practices with respect
to grants of stock options or restricted stock. |
38
|
o |
|
Adhering to the practice of making annual grants on a date certain and through board
or committee meetings, and not through a unanimous written consent process. |
We have concluded that there were accounting errors with respect to a number of stock option
grants. In general, these stock options were originally granted with an exercise price equal to the
NYSE or NASDAQ closing market price for our common stock on the date set forth on unanimous written
consents signed by one or more members of the appropriate Compensation Committees. We originally
used the stated date of these consents as the measurement date for the purpose of accounting for
them under Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP), and as a result recorded no
compensation expense in connection with the grants.
We have concluded that a number of unanimous written consents were not fully executed or effective
on the date set forth on the consents and that using the date stated thereon as the measurement
date was incorrect. We have determined a revised measurement date for each stock option grant based
on the information now available to us. The revised measurement date reflects the date for which
there is objective evidence that the required granting actions necessary to approve the grants, in
accordance with our corporate governance procedures, were completed. The accounting guidelines we
used in determining the correct accounting measurement date for our option grants require clear
evidence of final corporate granting action approving the option grants. Therefore, while the
internal investigation did not conclude that option grant dates with respect to certain grants had
been selected with hindsight, we nevertheless concluded in many cases that the accounting
measurement dates for these grants should be adjusted because the final corporate granting action
occurred after the original grant date reflected in our unanimous written consents. In cases where
the closing market price on the revised measurement date exceeded the NYSE or NASDAQ closing market
price on the original measurement date, we have recognized compensation expense equal to this
excess over the vesting term of each option, in accordance with Accounting Principles Board Opinion
No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, (APB 25) for periods ending on or before June
30, 2005. Additionally, beginning July 1, 2005, we have recognized compensation expense in
accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based
Payment (SFAS 123(R)) based on the fair value of stock options granted, using the revised
measurement dates.
Subsequent to the delivery of the results of the investigation, we, with the approval of our Audit
Committee, have determined that the cumulative non-cash stock-based compensation expense adjustment
was material and that our consolidated financial statements for each of the first three quarters
of fiscal year ended June 30, 2006, each of the quarters in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2005 and
each of the fiscal years ended June 30, 2005 and June 30, 2004, as well as the selected
consolidated financial data for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2003 and 2002 should be restated to
record additional stock-based compensation expense resulting from stock options granted during 1994
to 2005 that were incorrectly accounted for under GAAP, and related income tax effects. Related
income tax effects include deferred income tax benefits on the compensation expense, and additional
income tax liabilities and estimated penalties and interest related to the application of Internal
Revenue Code Section 162(m) and related Treasury Regulations (Section 162(m)) to stock-based
executive compensation previously deducted, that is now no longer deductible as a result of revised
measurement dates of certain stock option grants. We have also included in our restatements
additional income tax liabilities and estimated penalties and interest, with adjustments to
additional paid-in capital and income tax expense, related to certain cash and stock-based
executive compensation deductions previously taken under Section 162(m), which we believe may now
be non-deductible as a result of information that has been obtained by us in connection with our
internal investigation, due to factors unrelated to revised measurement dates. Our decision to
restate our financial statements was based on the facts obtained by management and the special
committee.
We have determined that the cumulative, pre-tax, non-cash stock-based compensation expense
resulting from revised measurement dates was approximately $51.2 million during the period from our
initial public offering in 1994 through June 30, 2006. The corrections relate to options covering
approximately 19.4 million shares. We recorded additional stock-based compensation expense of $2.1
million for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2006 and $6.1 million and $7.5 million for the fiscal
years ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively, and $35.5 million for fiscal years ending prior
to fiscal 2004. Previously reported total revenues were not impacted by our restatement. The table
below reflects the cumulative effect on our stockholders equity during the period from our initial
public offering in 1994 through June 30, 2006 (in thousands):

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

Other tax matters
The revision of measurement dates for certain stock option grants in connection with our internal
investigation required us to assess our previous performance-based cash and stock-based executive
compensation income tax deductions previously claimed under Section 162(m) during the applicable
periods. As a result of those assessments, we have determined that certain previously claimed
stock-based executive compensation deductions under Section 162(m) upon stock option exercise are
no longer deductible as a result of revised in-the-money measurement dates. Accordingly, our
restatements include adjustments to record additional income taxes payable in the amount of $13.4
million with a corresponding reduction of excess tax benefits previously recorded in additional
paid-in capital. Our restatements also include adjustments to record additional income taxes
payable in the amount of approximately $15 million with a corresponding reduction of excess tax
benefits previously recorded in additional paid-in capital of $10.5 million and an increase in
current income tax expense of $4.5 million, related to certain cash and stock-based executive
compensation deductions previously taken under Section 162(m), which we believe may now be
non-deductible as a result of information that has been obtained by us in connection with our
internal investigation, due to factors unrelated to revised measurement dates. We have also
recorded estimated penalties and interest in the amount of $3 million, $2.5 million and $2.5
million for the years ended June 30, 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively, and $3.5 million for
periods prior to fiscal year 2004 for these estimated income tax payment deficiencies.
Through March 31, 2007, we have recorded approximately $39.7 million of additional income taxes,
estimated penalties and interest related to disallowed Section 162(m) executive compensation
deductions either resulting from revised measurement dates or due to factors unrelated to revised
measurement dates, but which were previously believed to qualify for Section 162(m) deductions. At
this time, we cannot predict when 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 these Section 162(m) issues in order to reduce future interest
that would accrue on the amounts of estimated taxes, penalties and interest. This payment is
reflected in cash flows from operating activities at March 31, 2007. At March 31, 2007, we have
approximately $4.7 million of additional income taxes, estimated interest and penalties accrued
related to these disallowed Section 162(m) executive compensation deductions. At this time, we
cannot predict when the remaining Section 162(m) underpayment deficiencies, together with interest
and penalties, if any, will be paid. We expect to fund any such payments from cash flows from
operating activities.
Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code (Section 409A) provides that option holders with
options granted with a below-market exercise price, to the extent the options were not vested as of
December 31, 2004, may be subject to adverse Federal income tax consequences. Holders of these
options will likely be required to recognize taxable income at the date of vesting for those
options vesting after December 31, 2004, rather than upon exercise, on the difference between the
amount of the fair market value of our Class
A common stock on the date of vesting and the exercise price, plus an additional 20 percent penalty
tax and interest on any income tax to be paid. We will be amending the exercise price of certain
outstanding stock options to avoid adverse tax consequences to
42
individual option holders under Section 409A and all of our employees and executives (other than
Mark A. King, former President and Chief Executive Officer; Warren D. Edwards, former Executive
Vice President and Chief Financial Officer; and one management employee) will be reimbursed to
offset any loss of economic benefit related to such re-priced stock options. We will not be
re-pricing all option grants for which accounting measurement dates were adjusted. Option grants
to executives and employees whose options remain outstanding will be
re-priced only to the extent necessary to avoid adverse tax consequences to the individuals, other
than Mr. King, Mr. Edwards and one management employee. Grants to certain current and former
officers and employee directors were required to be repriced on or before December 31, 2006 in
order to comply with income tax regulations, and accordingly, on December 28, 2006, we repriced
awards totaling 876,800 shares held by certain current and former officers and employee directors.
We expect to pay to certain current and former employees approximately $9 million in order to
compensate such individuals for any economic loss such individual may suffer as the result of the
use of a measurement date that resulted in the option being granted at a below market option price.
We anticipate the $9 million related to Section 409A will be paid to the affected individuals beginning in
January 2008. We expect to fund any such payment from cash flows from operating activities,
however, we have not yet determined the impact to our results of operations and financial
condition. The increased exercise prices to be paid by optionholders upon their exercise is
expected to offset a significant portion of the $9 million; however, the timing of any such exercises
cannot be determined.
DEPARTURE OF EXECUTIVE OFFICERS
On November 26, 2006, Mark A. King resigned as our President, Chief Executive Officer and as a
director. In connection therewith, on November 26, 2006 we and Mr. King entered into a separation
agreement (the King Agreement). The King Agreement provides, among other things, that Mr. King
will remain with us as an employee providing transitional services until June 30, 2007. In
addition, under the terms of the King Agreement, all unvested stock options held by Mr. King have
been terminated as of November 26, 2006, excluding options that would have otherwise vested prior
to August 31, 2007 which will be permitted to vest on their regularly scheduled vesting dates
provided that Mr. King does not materially breach certain specified provisions of the King
Agreement. In accordance with the King Agreement, the exercise price of Mr. Kings vested stock
options were increased to an amount equal to the fair market value of the stock on the correct
accounting measurement date as determined in conjunction with the audit of our financial statements
for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2006 and the exercise price of certain vested options were
further increased by the amount by which the aggregate exercise price of stock options previously
exercised by Mr. King would have been increased had the stock options not been previously
exercised. Mr. Kings vested options, if unexercised, will expire no later than June 30, 2008. The
King Agreement also subjects Mr. King to non-competition and non-solicitation covenants until
December 31, 2009. In addition, the King Agreement provides that Mr. Kings severance agreement
with us is terminated, Mr. Kings salary will be reduced during the transition period and Mr. King
will not be eligible to participate in our bonus plans, and Mr. King will be eligible to receive
certain of our provided health benefits through December 31, 2009, the estimated cost of which is
not material.
On November 26, 2006, Warren D. Edwards resigned as our Executive Vice President and Chief
Financial Officer. In connection therewith, on November 26, 2006 we and Mr. Edwards entered into a
separation agreement (the Edwards Agreement). The Edwards Agreement provides, among other things,
that Mr. Edwards will remain with us as an employee providing transitional services until June 30,
2007. In addition, under the terms of the Edwards Agreement, all unvested stock options held by Mr.
Edwards have been terminated as of November 26, 2006, excluding options that would have otherwise
vested prior to August 31, 2007 which will be permitted to vest on their regularly scheduled
vesting dates provided that Mr. Edwards does not materially breach certain specified provisions of
the Edwards Agreement. In accordance with the Edwards Agreement the exercise price of Mr. Edwards
vested stock options were increased to an amount equal to the fair market value of the stock on the
correct accounting measurement date as determined in conjunction with the audit of our financial
statements for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2006. Mr. Edwards vested options, if unexercised,
will expire no later than June 30, 2008. The Edwards Agreement also subjects Mr. Edwards to
non-competition and non-solicitation covenants until December 31, 2009. In addition, the Edwards
Agreement provides that Mr. Edwards severance agreement with us is terminated, Mr. Edwards salary
will be reduced during the transition period and Mr. Edwards will not be eligible to participate in
our bonus plans, and Mr. Edwards will be eligible to receive certain of our provided health
benefits through December 31, 2009, the estimated cost of which is not material.
On September 29, 2005, Jeffrey A. Rich submitted his resignation as a director and Chief Executive
Officer. On September 30, 2005 we entered into an Agreement with Mr. Rich, which, among other
things, provided the following: (i) Mr. Rich remained on our payroll and was paid his then current
base salary (of $820 thousand annually) through June 30, 2006; (ii) Mr. Rich was not eligible to
participate in our performance-based incentive compensation program in fiscal year 2006; (iii) we
purchased from Mr. Rich all options previously granted to Mr. Rich that were vested as of the date
of the Agreement in exchange for an aggregate cash payment, less applicable income and payroll
taxes, equal to the amount determined by subtracting the exercise price of each such vested option
from $54.08 per share and all such vested options were terminated and cancelled; (iv) all options
previously granted to Mr. Rich that were unvested as of the date of the Agreement were terminated
(such options had an in-the-money value of approximately $4.6
million based on the closing price of our stock on the New York Stock Exchange on September 29,
2005); (v) Mr. Rich received a lump sum cash payment of $4.1 million; (vi) Mr. Rich continued to
receive executive benefits for health, dental and vision through
43
September 30, 2007; (vii) Mr. Rich also received limited administrative assistance through
September 30, 2006; and (viii) in the event Mr. Rich established an M&A advisory firm by January 1,
2007, we agreed to retain such firm for a two year period from its formation for $250 thousand per
year plus a negotiated success fee for completed transactions. The Agreement also contains certain
standard restrictions, including restrictions on soliciting our employees for a period of three
years and soliciting our customers or competing with us for a period of two years. Mr. Rich has
established an M&A advisory firm and in June 2006, we entered into an agreement with Rich Capital
LLC, an M&A advisory firm owned by Mr. Rich. The agreement is for two years, during which time we
will pay a total of $0.5 million for M&A advisory services, payable in equal quarterly
installments. We paid $63 thousand related to this agreement through June 30, 2006. However, we
have currently suspended payment under this agreement pending a determination whether Rich Capital
LLC is capable of performing its obligations under the contract in view of the internal
investigations conclusions regarding stock options awarded to Mr. Rich.
SIGNIFICANT DEVELOPMENTS
Potential Sale of the Company
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.
Our Board of Directors has appointed a special committee of independent directors (the Special
Committee) to evaluate our strategic alternatives, including the proposal from Mr. Deason and
Cerberus, and expects to make a recommendation to the Board of Directors following its
consideration of all strategic alternatives, including the proposal and all others received, in due
course. The Special Committee has engaged its own legal counsel and financial advisors to assist in
its review. We accrued approximately $0.6 million in legal and other costs related to this
potential transaction in the third quarter of fiscal year 2007.
New Business
During the third quarter of fiscal year 2007, we signed contracts with new clients and incremental
business with existing clients representing $156.2 million of annualized recurring revenue and $703
million in total contract value. We define new business signings as recurring revenue from new
contracts, including the incremental portion of renewals, signed during the period and represent
the estimated first twelve months of revenue to be recorded under that contract after full
implementation. The Commercial segment contributed 71% of the new contract signings (based on
annual recurring revenues) including contracts with GlaxoSmithKline, Sprint/Nextel and DCP
Midstream. The Government segment contributed 29% of the new contract signings (based on annual
recurring revenues) including contracts with the U.S. Department of Labor and Indiana Department of
Child Services.
Acquisitions
In July 2006, we completed the acquisition of Primax Recoveries, Inc. (Primax), one of the
industrys oldest and largest health care cost recovery firms. The transaction was valued at
approximately $40 million, plus related transaction costs excluding contingent consideration of up
to $10 million based upon future financial performance and was funded from cash on hand and
borrowings on our Credit Facility (defined in Liquidity and Capital Resources). This acquisition
expanded our healthcare payor offering to include subrogation and overpayment recovery services to
help our clients improve profitability while maintaining their valued relationships with plan
participants, employers and providers. The operating results of the acquired business are
included in our financial statements in the Commercial segment from the effective date of the
acquisition, July 12, 2006.
In October 2006, we completed the acquisition of Systech Integrators, Inc. (Systech), an
information technology solutions company offering an array of SAP software services. Systechs
services include SAP consulting services, systems integration and custom application development
and maintenance. The transaction was valued at approximately $63.8 million plus contingent
payments of up to $40 million based on future financial performance. The transaction was funded
with a combination of cash on hand and borrowings under our Credit Facility. This acquisition
enhanced our position as a comprehensive provider of SAP services across numerous markets. The
operating results of the acquired business are included in our financial statements in the
Commercial segment from the effective date of the acquisition, October 2, 2006.

Operations Liquidity and Capital Resources Senior Notes for a discussion of the declaratory
action with respect to the alleged default and purported acceleration of our Senior Notes.
Restructuring and other activities
During fiscal year 2006, we began a comprehensive assessment of our operations, including our
overall cost structure, competitive position, technology assets and operating platform and foreign
operations. As a result, we began certain restructuring initiatives and activities that are
expected to enhance our competitive position in certain markets, and recorded certain restructuring
charges and asset impairments arising from our discretionary decisions. We estimate a total of
2,400 employees will be involuntarily terminated as a result of these initiatives, consisting
primarily of offshore processors and related management; however, we anticipate that a majority of
these positions will be migrated to lower cost markets. As of March 31, 2007, approximately 2,300
employees have been involuntarily terminated. We anticipate the costs savings related to these
involuntary terminations will be approximately $122 million ($89 million related to terminations in
the first nine months of fiscal year 2007) of wages and benefits per year; however, some of the
cost savings from these involuntary terminations will be reinvested in subject matter experts,
project management talent and sales personnel as we look to further promote those lines of
businesses that reflect the greatest potential for growth. Our assessment activities are ongoing
and may result in further restructuring and related charges, the amount and timing of which cannot
be determined at this time.
In our Commercial segment, we recorded a restructuring charge for involuntary termination of
employees of $1.3 million and $5.9 million during the three and nine months ended March 31, 2007,
respectively, which is reflected in wages and benefits in our Consolidated Statements of Income,
and $1.5 million and $2.4 million during the three and nine months ended March 31, 2007,
respectively, for lease termination fees, impairments of facility costs and facility shutdown
charges, which are reflected as part of total operating expenses in our Consolidated Statements of
Income.
In our Government segment, we recorded a restructuring charge for involuntary termination of
employees of $0.3 million and $0.7 million during the three and nine months ended March 2007, which
is reflected in wages and benefits in our Consolidated Statements of Income. In the third quarter
of fiscal year 2007, we recorded approximately $0.5 million related to the consolidation of
solution development groups within the Government segment.
The following table summarizes activity for the accrual for involuntary termination of employees
for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2007 (in thousands), exclusive of the Acquired HR
Business (defined below):

The March 31, 2007 accrual for involuntary termination of employees is expected to be paid
primarily in fiscal year 2007 from cash flows from operating activities. Our severance plan
provides for severance payments to be paid out over a period of time following termination based on
service.
45
During fiscal year 2005, we acquired the human resources consulting and outsourcing businesses of
Mellon Financial Corporation (the Acquired HR Business). In the fourth quarter of fiscal year
2006, we substantially completed the integration of the Acquired HR Business. The integration
included the elimination of redundant facilities, marketing and overhead costs, and the
consolidation of processes from the historical cost structure of the acquired Mellon organization.
The liabilities recorded at closing for the Acquired HR Business include $22.3 million in
involuntary employee termination costs for employees of the Acquired HR Business in accordance with
Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 95-3 Recognition of Liabilities in Connection with a Purchase
Business Combination. During the three and nine months ended March 31, 2007, $0.1 million and $1.4
million in involuntary employee termination payments, respectively, were made and charged against
accrued compensation bringing the total payments made to $17 million. We also recorded a $3.1
million and a $1.2 million reduction to the accrual and to goodwill in fiscal year 2006 and the
first quarter of fiscal year 2007, respectively, as a result of a change in our estimates of
severance to be paid. As of March 31, 2007, the balance of the related accrual was $1 million and
is expected to be paid primarily in fiscal year 2007 and the first quarter of fiscal year 2008 from
cash flows from operating activities with any unused balance to be credited to goodwill.
Sale of Minority Interest in a Professional Services Business
In the third quarter of fiscal year 2007, we sold a minority interest in a professional services
company, which was accounted for under the equity method, for approximately 11.5 million Euros
(approximately $15.3 million). We recorded a gain on the sale of our minority interest of
approximately 6.9 million Euros (approximately $9.1 million) in other non-operating (income)
expense, net.
Share Repurchase Programs
In June and August 2006, our Board of Directors authorized two share repurchase programs of up to
$1 billion each of our Class A common stock. The programs, which are open ended, allow us to
repurchase our shares on the open market, from time to time, in accordance with the requirements of
the SEC rules and regulations, including shares that could be purchased pursuant to SEC Rule
10b5-1. The number of shares to be purchased and the timing of purchases will be based on the
level of cash and debt balances, general business conditions, and other factors, including
alternative investment opportunities. As of March 31, 2007, we had repurchased approximately 19.9
million shares under the June 2006 authorization at an average cost of approximately $50.30 per
share (approximately $1 billion) all of which have been retired, of which 14.4 million shares with
an average cost of approximately $50.64 per share (approximately $730.7 million) were purchased and
retired in the first quarter of fiscal year 2007. No repurchases have been made under the August
2006 authorization as of the date of this filing. We expect to fund repurchases under this
additional share repurchase program from borrowings under our Credit Facility.
Stock option grants
Because of the ongoing stock option investigation, we were unable to timely file our Annual Report
on Form 10-K and our Annual Meeting of Stockholders was delayed, and the regularly scheduled
meeting of our Board of Directors that was to have occurred in November 2006 was focused solely on
stock option investigation matters and any other matters for consideration were deferred. Under
our stock option granting policy, the day prior to or the day of that regularly scheduled November
Board meeting, the Compensation Committee could have granted options to new hires, employees
receiving a grant in connection with a promotion, or persons who become ACS employees as a result
of an acquisition. On the morning of December 9, 2006 the Compensation Committee met to discuss
whether options, that were now available under the 1997 Stock Incentive Plan, should be granted to
new hires, employees receiving a grant in connection with a promotion, or persons who became ACS
employees as a result of an acquisition. After consideration of the fact that options would have
been granted in November, if the regularly scheduled Board meeting had not deferred consideration
of matters other than the stock option investigation, the Compensation Committee met on December 9,
2006 and, as a result of their actions at that meeting, a grant of 692,000 shares was made to new
hires, employees receiving a grant in connection with a promotion, or persons who become ACS
employees as a result of an acquisition, with such grants including 140,000 shares to Lynn
Blodgett, who had been promoted to President and Chief Executive Officer; 75,000 shares to John
Rexford who had been promoted to Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer; and 100,000
shares each to Ann Vezina and Tom Burlin which grants were in recognition of their recent
promotions to Chief Operating Officers of the Commercial and Government segments, respectively, and
had been approved by the Compensation Committee on August 15, 2006 but were deferred until shares
were available for grant.
Related Party Transactions
See Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
and Results of Operations Potential Sale of the Company above for a discussion of the proposal received from our
Chairman, Darwin Deason, and Cerberus to acquire all of the outstanding shares of the Company.
Prior to 2002 we had guaranteed $11.5 million of certain loan obligations owed to Citicorp USA,
Inc. by DDH Aviation, Inc., a corporate airplane brokerage company organized in 1997 (as may have
been reorganized subsequent to July 2002, herein referred to as DDH). Our Chairman owns a
majority interest in DDH. In consideration for that guaranty, we had access to corporate aircraft
at favorable rates. In July 2002, our Chairman assumed in full our guaranty obligations to
Citicorp and Citicorp released in full our guaranty obligations. As partial consideration for the
release of our corporate guaranty, we agreed to provide certain administrative services to DDH at
no charge until such time as DDH meets certain specified financial criteria. We anticipate that
these administrative services will cease prior to June 30, 2007 as a result of the wind down of the
DDH operations. In the first quarter of
46
fiscal year 2003, we purchased $1 million in prepaid charter flights at favorable rates from DDH.
As of June 30, 2006, we had $0.6 million remaining in prepaid flights with DDH. In the second
quarter of fiscal year 2007, we were notified by DDH of its intent to wind down operations;
therefore, we recorded a charge of $0.6 million related to the unused prepaid charter flights.
Contract with the Department of Education
The CSB contract is our largest contract. We have provided loan servicing for the Department of
Educations Direct Student Loan program for over ten years. In 2003 the Department conducted a
competitive procurement for its Common Services for Borrowers initiative (CSB). CSB was a
modernization initiative which integrated a number of services for the Department, allowing the
Department to increase service quality while saving overall program costs. In November 2003, the
Department awarded us the CSB contract. Under this contract we provide comprehensive loan
servicing, consolidation loan processing, debt collection services on delinquent accounts, IT
infrastructure operations and support, maintenance and development of information systems, and
portfolio management services for the Department of Educations Direct Student Loan program. We
are also developing software for use in delivering these services. The CSB contract has a 5-year
base term which began in January 2004 and provides the Department of Education five one-year
options to extend after the base term. We estimate that our revenues from the CSB contract will
exceed $1 billion in total over the base term of the contract. Annual revenues from this contract
represented approximately 4% of our fiscal year 2006 revenues.
Through March 31, 2007 our capitalized expenditures for software development under the CSB contract
have totaled approximately $116 million, of which approximately $39 million has been implemented
with the current production system. Our model for development of software under the CSB contract
may change and we may only be able to use a portion of the uncompleted software with the current
production system. As a result, we may incur a material, non-cash, impairment of a portion of our
remaining capitalized software development costs, which aggregate approximately $77 million.
However, we currently cannot determine the amount, if any, of this potential impairment of our
capitalized development costs.
Government Healthcare Contract
In April 2004, we were awarded a contract by the North Carolina Department of Health and Human
Services (DHHS) to replace and operate the North Carolina Medicaid Management Information System
(NCMMIS). There was a protest of the contract award; however, DHHS requested that we commence
performance under the contract. One of the parties protesting the contract has continued to seek
administrative and legal relief to set aside the contract award. However, we continued our
performance of the contract at the request of DHHS. On June 12, 2006, we reported that contract
issues had arisen and each of ACS and DHHS alleged that the other party has breached the contract.
The parties entered into a series of standstill agreements in order to permit discussion of their
respective issues regarding the contract and whether the contract would be continued or terminated.
On July 14, 2006, the DHHS sent us a letter notifying us of the termination of the contract. We
filed in the General Court of Justice, Superior Court Division, in Wake County, North Carolina, a
complaint and motion to preserve records related to the contract. Subsequent to the filing of the
complaint, North Carolina produced records and represented to the Court that all records had been
produced, after which the complaint was dismissed. In a letter dated August 1, 2006, DHHS notified
us of its position that the value of reductions in compensation assessable against the compensation
otherwise due to us under the contract is approximately $33 million. On August 14, 2006, we
provided a detailed response to that August 1, 2006 letter contending that there should be no
reductions in compensation owed to us. Also, on August 14, 2006 and in accordance with the
contract, we submitted our Termination Claim to DHHS seeking additional compensation of
approximately $27.1 million. On January 22, 2007, we filed a complaint in the General Court of
Justice, Superior Court Division, in Wake County, North Carolina against DHHS and the Secretary of
DHHS seeking to recover damages in excess of $40 million that we have suffered as the result of
actions of DHHS and its Secretary. Our claim was based on breach of contract; breach of implied
covenant of good faith and fair dealing; breach of warranty; and misappropriation of our trade
secrets. In the complaint we also requested the court to grant a declaratory judgment that we were
not in default under the contract; and a permanent injunction against the State from using our
proprietary materials and disclosing our proprietary material to third parties. During the fourth
quarter of fiscal year 2006, we recorded a charge to revenue of approximately $3.9 million related
to our assessment of realization of amounts previously recognized for the North Carolina MMIS
contract.
On March 22, 2007, we settled all issues with DHHS. Pursuant to the settlement, DHHS rescinded its
June 6, 2006 notice of intent to terminate the NCMMIS contract and its July 14, 2006 notice of
termination and the parties agreed to a mutual termination of the contract. We agreed, as part of
the settlement, to license to DHHS certain work product we produced in connection with the NCMMIS
contract and DHHS has agreed to pay us the aggregate amount of $10.5 million in four installments
beginning on or before March 31, 2007 and ending on or before June 30, 2008. We recognized $3.4
million in revenue in the third quarter of fiscal year 2007 related to this settlement. In
addition, we may provide certain new services to DHHS under new contracts with a term of two years
and will be compensated based on achieving certain levels of cost savings.

SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
In April 2007, we acquired certain assets of Albion, Inc., a company specializing in integrated
eligibility software solutions. The purchase price of $25.5 million, subject to certain
adjustments, was funded through a combination of cash and borrowings under our Credit Facility. We
believe this acquisition will enhance our capabilities in the Health and Human Services (HHS)
sector. The acquisition enables us to address key HHS challenges facing State and Local government
clients, including: expensive legacy systems; a need for cost effectiveness; and a client-centered
approach to service delivery. The acquired proprietary @Vantage software addresses these clients
challenges while meeting Federal financial support requirements for a commercial, off-the-shelf
(COTS) solution.
In April 2007, we acquired CDR Associated, LLC (CDR), a leading provider of credit balance audit
recovery and software services to healthcare payers, providers and State Medicaid agencies. The
purchase price of $28.2 million, plus transaction costs, was funded from cash on hand and
borrowings under our Credit Facility. We believe this acquisition strengthens our position as a
leading BPO provider to the healthcare industry. The acquisition expands our service mix in the
healthcare payer and provider markets and provides a platform to bridge the gap between the payer
and provider communities.

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

COMPARISON OF THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2007 TO THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2006
Revenues
In the third quarter of fiscal year 2007, our revenues increased $126.1 million, or 10%, to $1.4
billion from $1.3 billion in the third quarter of fiscal year 2006. Internal revenue growth for
the third quarter of fiscal year 2007 was 6% and the remainder of the revenue growth was related to
acquisitions. Excluding revenues related to divested operations, revenues increased $129 million,
or 10% from the third quarter of fiscal year 2006.
Revenue in our Commercial segment, which represents 60% of consolidated revenue for the third
quarter of fiscal year 2007, increased $67.9 million, or 9%, to $858.2 million in the third quarter
of fiscal year 2007 compared to the same period last year. Internal revenue growth was 3%, due
primarily to increased revenue related to contracts with MeadWestvaco, Sprint/Nextel, Disney,
GlaxoSmithKline, Aetna, Humana, Burger King, University of Phoenix and Blue Cross Blue Shield
offset by declines for General Motors and SBC Communications. The items discussed above
collectively represent approximately 92% of our internal revenue growth for the period in this
segment. Revenue growth from acquisitions was 6% for the third quarter of fiscal year 2007,
primarily related to the Intellinex, Primax and Systech acquisitions completed in May, July and
October 2006, respectively.
Revenue in our Government segment, which represents 40% of consolidated revenue for the third
quarter of fiscal year 2007, increased $58.2 million, or 11%, to $582.4 million in the third
quarter of fiscal year 2007 compared to the same period last year. Excluding revenues related to divested operations, revenues increased $61.1 million, or 12% from
the third quarter of fiscal year 2006, all from internal growth. We experienced growth in the
following areas: (i) international and domestic transportation contracts,
50
including contracts with the New Jersey Transit Authority and Melbourne, Australia for fare
collections and Maryland EZPass system; (ii) Medicaid and pharmacy benefit management contracts,
including our Texas, North Dakota and New Hampshire contracts; (iii) children and youth services
and electronic payment services contracts, including our Indiana Eligibility contract; and (iv)
government information technology contracts including our contract with the State of Maryland;
offset by lower revenue for our unclaimed property clearinghouse services. We also recorded
approximately $3.4 million in revenue during the fiscal year 2007 quarter related to the settlement
of our contract dispute with the State of North Carolina. The areas discussed above collectively
represent approximately 94% of our internal revenue growth for the period in this segment.
Operating Expenses
Wages and benefits increased $45.1 million or 7% to $689.3 million. As a percentage of revenue,
wages and benefits decreased 1.2% to 47.8% in the third quarter of fiscal year 2007 from 49% in the
third quarter of fiscal year 2006. During the third quarter of fiscal years 2007 and 2006, we
recorded $1.6 million and $2.8 million, respectively, of compensation expense related to our
restructuring activities. In the third quarter of fiscal year 2006, we recorded $2.9 million in
incremental transaction expenses related to the Acquired HR Business. Approximately 0.2% of the
decrease as a percentage of revenue was due to the completion of the transition process on several
contracts in our finance and accounting line of business which began in fiscal year 2006. During
the transition phase of these contracts we incurred higher wages and benefit costs than the
operational phase.
Services and supplies increased $31.7 million, or 11.6%, to $304.7 million. As a percentage of
revenue, services and supplies increased 0.4% to 21.2% in the third quarter of fiscal year 2007
from 20.8% in the third quarter of fiscal year 2006. During the third quarter of fiscal year 2007,
we recorded $0.6 million in other costs associated with the ongoing stock option investigations and
shareholder derivative lawsuits. Increased revenue in our international and domestic
transportation services contributed approximately a 1% as a percentage of revenue increase in
services and supplies. This increase was offset by a 0.4% decrease as a percentage of revenue due
to a decline in our unclaimed property clearinghouse services which have a higher component of
services and supplies expense than our other operations. Cost savings initiatives in travel
expenses also contributed a decrease of approximately 0.1% as a percentage of revenue.
Rent, lease and maintenance increased $17.6 million, or 11.2%, to $174.1 million. As a percentage
of revenue, rent, lease and maintenance increased 0.2%, to 12.1%. During the third quarter of
fiscal year 2007, we recorded $1.6 million related to our restructuring activities, primarily due
to lease termination fees. Software costs increased 0.8% as a percentage of revenue primarily due
to new business and higher rates during fiscal year 2007. This increase was offset by a decrease
of approximately 0.6% as a percentage of revenue due to increased revenues in our Government
international and domestic transportation services and Commercial human resource services which
have a lower component of rent, lease and maintenance costs than our other operations.
Depreciation and amortization increased $15.1 million, or 20.7%, to $88 million. As a percentage
of revenue, depreciation and amortization increased 0.6%, to 6.1%, in the third quarter of fiscal
year 2007 from 5.5% in the third quarter of fiscal year 2006. This increase was due to capital
expenditures during fiscal year 2006 and the first nine months of fiscal year 2007 primarily in our
information technology services business.
Other expenses decreased $11.9 million, or 58.6%, to $8.4 million. As a percentage of revenue,
other expenses decreased 0.9%, to 0.6%, in the third quarter of fiscal year 2007 from 1.5% in the
third quarter of fiscal year 2006. Other expenses for the third quarter of fiscal year 2006
included $5 million related to the settlement of various contract disputes with a client,
approximately $2.1 million and $8.4 million related to a contract loss accrual and asset impairment
charges, respectively, for another client and approximately $0.2 million related to our
restructuring activities. During the third quarter of fiscal year 2007, we recorded approximately
$0.1 million in other expenses for an asset impairment.
51
Other operating expenses increased $1 million or 8.4% to $13.5 million. As a percentage of revenue
other operating expenses decreased 0.1%, to 0.9%, and includes the following (in millions).

Operating income during the third quarter of fiscal year 2006 also includes losses of $21.9 million
related to two underperforming multi-scope human resources contracts (included in various cost of
revenues categories). Of this $21.9 million loss, $5 million was related to settlement of various
contract disputes with a client, and approximately $2.1 million and $8.4 million related to a
contract loss accrual and asset impairment charges, respectively, for another client. These
reserves, contract loss accrual and asset impairment are included in other expenses above.
Interest Expense
Interest expense increased $30.6 million, to $46.4 million, primarily due to interest expense on
cash borrowed to finance our share repurchase programs during fiscal years 2006 and 2007.
Other non-operating (income) expense, net
Other non-operating income, net, increased $12.9 million to $12.3 million primarily due to a gain
of $9.1 million on the sale of a minority interest in a professional services business as well as
increased interest income on cash investments as a result of higher average cash balances during
the current year quarter.

Increased revenue in our international and domestic transportation services contributed
approximately 0.9% as a percentage of revenue increase in services and supplies. This increase
was offset by a 0.4% decrease as a percentage of revenue due to a decline in our unclaimed property
clearinghouse services which have a higher component of services and supplies than our other

approximately 0.2% as a percentage of revenue.
Rent, lease and maintenance increased $55 million, or 11.6%, to $530.2 million. As a percentage of

percentage of revenue, depreciation and amortization increased 0.7%, to 6%, in the first nine
months of fiscal year 2007 from 5.3% in the first nine months of fiscal year 2006. This increase
was primarily due to capital expenditures during fiscal year 2006 and the first nine months of
fiscal year 2007 in our information technology services business.

Operating income during the first nine months of fiscal year 2006 also includes losses of $21.9
million related to two underperforming multi-scope human resources contracts (included in various
cost of revenues categories). Of this $21.9 million loss, $5 million was related to settlement of
various contract disputes with a client, and approximately $2.1 million and $8.4 million related to
a contract loss accrual and asset impairment charges, respectively, for another client. These
reserves, contract loss accrual and asset impairment are included in other expenses above.
Interest Expense
Interest expense
increased $97.9 million, to $140.5 million, primarily due to interest expense on
cash borrowed to finance our share repurchase programs during fiscal years 2006 and 2007. Interest
expense also includes $2.6 million in charges related to a waiver fee on our Credit Facility in the
first nine months of fiscal year 2007, as well as approximately $2.9 million of estimated interest
related to disallowed Section 162(m) executive compensation deductions discussed above in
Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations Review of
Stock Option Grant Practices.
56
Other non-operating (income) expense, net
Other non-operating income, net increased $18.8 million to $24.6 million primarily due to gains on
long-term investments recorded in the first nine months of fiscal year 2007 and increased interest
income on cash investments as a result of higher average cash balances during the current fiscal
year. We recorded $2.4 million in gains related to foreign exchange forward agreements that hedge
our French operations Euro foreign exchange exposure related to its Canadian dollar and United
States dollar revenue during the first nine months of fiscal year 2007 (as discussed in Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations Liquidity and Capital Resources below). We recorded a $9.1 million gain on the sale of a minority interest in
a professional services business during the first nine months of fiscal year 2007 as discussed
above in Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Significant Developments.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Cash Flow
During the first nine months of fiscal year 2007, we generated approximately $395 million in cash
flows provided by operating activities compared to $471.7 million in the first nine months of
fiscal year 2006. Our cash flows provided by operating activities were impacted by the payment of
interest on outstanding debt, which was higher during the nine months ended March 31, 2007 due to
our share repurchase program. Cash paid for interest on outstanding debt was $121.1 million in the
nine months ended March 31, 2007, compared to $28.8 million in the nine months ended March 31,
2006. Our cash flows provided by operating activities were also impacted by the timing of payments
for accounts payable and employee compensation as well as payments for hardware and software
maintenance during the first nine months of fiscal year 2007, as well as the following items (in
millions):

Under the transition services agreement, Mellon provided certain accounting, treasury and
payroll services for an interim period. As part of these services, Mellon was also paying
certain operational costs on our behalf, such as employee related expenses and accounts
payable. This agreement and the related timing of payments to Mellon had a favorable impact
on our net cash provided by operating activities in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2005
and a negative impact on our net cash provided by operating activities in the third quarter
of fiscal year 2006 when the Acquired HR Business was fully integrated. |
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.

During the first nine months of fiscal year 2007, net cash used in investing activities was $379.8
million compared to $446.1 million in the first nine months of fiscal year 2006. In the first nine
months of fiscal year 2007, we used $120.5 million for acquisitions, primarily for the purchases of
Systech and Primax, net of cash acquired, and contingent consideration payments on prior year
acquisitions. In the first nine months of fiscal year 2006, we used $155.2 million for
acquisitions, primarily for the purchases of Transport Revenue, LiveBridge, Inc., contingent
consideration payments for Heritage Information Systems, Inc. and a payment related to the first
quarter fiscal year 2005 BlueStar Solutions, Inc. acquisition. Cash used for the purchase of
property, equipment and software and additions to other intangible assets was $269.4 million and
$318.5 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. The decrease in
purchases of property, equipment and software in the nine months ended March 31, 2007 was driven by
lower capital intensity of signed new business as well as continued internal focus to reduce
expenditures. During the first nine months of fiscal year 2006, we used $16.5 million to acquire
intangible assets in connection with the termination of a subcontractor arrangement. During the
first nine months of fiscal years 2007 and 2006, we used $6.5 million and $25.5 million,
respectively, to purchase long-term investments primarily related to our deferred compensation
plans. During the first nine months of fiscal year 2007 we received approximately $15.3 million
related to the sale of a minority interest in a professional services company as discussed above.
During the first nine months of fiscal year 2007 and 2006, net cash (used in) provided by financing
activities was $(20.1 million) and $86.6 million, respectively. Such financing activities include
net borrowings on our Credit Facility, proceeds from the exercise of stock options, excess tax
benefits from stock-based compensation and proceeds from the issuance of treasury shares offset by
purchases of treasury shares under our share repurchase programs.
Credit Facility
On July 6, 2006, we amended our secured term loan facility (Term Loan Facility) under our Credit
Agreement dated March 20, 2006 (Credit Facility) and borrowed an additional $500 million on July
6, 2006 and an additional $500 million on August 1, 2006.
As a result of the increase to the facility, the Applicable Margin, as defined in the Credit
Facility, increased to LIBOR plus 200 basis points. We used the proceeds of the Term Loan Facility
increase to finance the purchase of shares of our Class A common stock under our June 2006
authorization and for the payment of transaction costs, fees and expenses related to the increase
in the Term Loan Facility. The borrowing rate under the Term Loan Facility as of May 4, 2007 was
approximately 7.32%.
Draws made under our credit facilities are made to fund cash acquisitions, share repurchases and
for general working capital requirements. During the trailing twelve months ended March 31, 2007,
the balance outstanding under our credit facilities for borrowings ranged from $861.1 million to
$2.1 billion. At March 31, 2007, we had approximately $820.9 million available under our revolving
credit facility after giving effect to outstanding indebtedness of $38.5 million and $140.6 million
of outstanding letters of credit that secure certain contractual performance and other obligations
and which reduce the availability of our revolving credit facility. At March 31, 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 of which $1.8 billion bore
interest at approximately 7.32% and the remainder bore interest from 3.48% to 5.12%. As of March
31, 2007, we were in compliance with the covenants of our Credit Facility, as amended, as described
further below.
On September 26, 2006, we received an amendment, consent and waiver from the lenders under our
Credit Facility with respect to, among other provisions, waiver of any default or event of default
arising under the Credit Facility as a result of our failure to comply with certain reporting
covenants relating to other indebtedness, including covenants purportedly requiring the filing of
reports with either the SEC or the holders of such indebtedness, so long as those requirements are
complied with by December 31, 2006. As consideration for this amendment, consent and waiver, we
paid a fee of $2.6 million.
On December 21, 2006, we received an amendment, consent and waiver from lenders under our Credit
Facility. The amendment, consent and waiver includes the following provisions, among others:
58
|
(1) |
|
Consent to the delivery, on or prior to February 14, 2007,
of (i) the financial statements, accountants report and
compliance certificate for the fiscal year ended June 30,
2006 and (ii) financial statements and related compliance
certificates for the fiscal quarters ended June 30, 2006
and September 30, 2006, and waiver of any default arising
from the failure to deliver any such financial statements,
reports or certificates within the applicable time period
provided for in the Credit Agreement, provided that any
such failure to deliver resulted directly or indirectly
from the previously announced investigation of the
Companys historical stock option grant practices (the
Options Matter). |
|
|
(2) |
|
Waiver of any default or event of default arising from the
incorrectness of representations and warranties made or
deemed to have been made with respect to certain financial
statements previously delivered to the Agent as a result of
any restatement, adjustment or other modification of such
financial statements resulting directly or indirectly from
the Options Matter. |
|
|
(3) |
|
Waiver of any default or event of default which may arise
from the Companys or its subsidiaries failure to comply
with reporting covenants under other indebtedness that are
similar to those in the Credit Agreement (including any
covenant to file any report with the Securities and
Exchange Commission or to furnish such reports to the
holders of such indebtedness), provided such reporting
covenants are complied with on or prior to February 14,
2007. |
|
|
(4) |
|
Amendments to provisions relating to the permitted uses of
the proceeds of revolving loans under the Credit Agreement
that (i) increase to $500 million from $350 million the
aggregate principal amount of revolving loans that may be
outstanding, the proceeds of which may be used to satisfy
the obligations under the Companys 4.70% Senior Notes due
2010 or 5.20% Senior Notes due 2015 and (ii) until June 30,
2007, decrease to $200 million from $300 million the
minimum liquidity (i.e., the aggregate amount of the
Companys unrestricted cash in excess of $50 million and
availability under the Credit Agreements revolving
facility) required after giving effect to such use of
proceeds. |
As consideration for this amendment, waiver and consent, we paid a fee of $1.3 million. We filed
our Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2006 on February 1, 2007 and
our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2006 on January 23, 2007.
Senior Notes
On September 22, 2006, we received a letter from CEDE & Co. (CEDE) sent on behalf of certain
holders of our 5.20% Senior Notes due 2015 (the 5.20% Senior Notes) issued by us under that
certain Indenture dated June 6, 2005 (the Indenture) between us and The Bank of New York Trust
Company, N.A. (the Trustee) advising us that we were in default of our covenants under the
Indenture. The letter alleged that our failure to timely file our Annual Report on Form 10-K for
the period ending June 30, 2006 by September 13, 2006, was a default under the terms of the
Indenture. On September 29, 2006, we received a letter from CEDE sent on behalf of the same persons
declaring an acceleration with respect to the 5.20% Senior Notes, as a result of our failure to
remedy the default set forth in the September 22 letter related to our failure to timely file our
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the period ended June 30, 2006. The September 29 letter declared
that the principal amount and premium, if any, and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the
5.20% Senior Notes were due and payable immediately, and demanded payment of all amounts owed in
respect of the 5.20% Senior Notes.
On September 29, 2006 we received a letter from the Trustee with respect to the 5.20% Senior Notes.
The letter alleged that we were in default of our covenants under the Indenture with respect to the
5.20% Senior Notes, as the result of our failure to timely file our Annual Report on Form 10-K for
the period ending June 30, 2006 on or before September 28, 2006. On October 6, 2006, we received a
letter from the Trustee declaring an acceleration with respect to the 5.20% Senior Notes as a
result of our failure to timely file our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the period ending June 30,
2006 on or before September 28, 2006. The October 6, 2006 letter declared the principal amount and
premium, if any, and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the 5.20% Senior Notes to be due and
payable immediately, and demanded payment of all amounts owed in respect of the 5.20% Senior Notes.
In addition, our 4.70% Senior Notes due 2010 (the 4.70% Senior Notes) were also issued under the
Indenture and have identical default and acceleration provisions as the 5.20% Senior Notes. On
October 9, 2006, we received letters from certain holders of the 4.70% Senior Notes issued by us
under the Indenture, advising us that we were in default of our covenants under the Indenture. The
letters alleged that our failure to timely file our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the period
ending June 30, 2006 by September 13, 2006, was a default under the terms of the Indenture. On
November 9, 10 and 16, 2006, we received letters from CEDE sent on behalf of certain holders of our
4.70% Senior Notes, declaring an acceleration of the 4.70% Senior Notes as the result of our
failure to timely file our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the period ending June 30, 2006. The
November 9, 10 and 16, 2006 letters declared the principal amount and premium, if any, and accrued
and unpaid interest, if any, on the 4.70% Senior Notes to be due and payable immediately, and
demanded payment of all amounts owed under the 4.70% Senior Notes.
It is our position that no default has occurred under the Indenture and that no acceleration has
occurred with respect to the 5.20% Senior Notes or the 4.70% Senior Notes (collectively, the
Senior Notes) or otherwise under the Indenture. Further we have filed a
59
lawsuit against the
Trustee in the United States District Court, Northern District of Texas, Dallas Division, seeking a
declaratory judgment affirming our position.
On December 19, 2006, we entered into an Instrument of Resignation, Appointment and Acceptance with
the Trustee and Wilmington Trust Company (herein so called), whereby the Trustee resigned as
trustee, as well as other offices or agencies, with respect to the Senior Notes, and was replaced
by Wilmington Trust Company. On January 8, 2007, the Court entered an order substituting Wilmington
Trust Company for the Bank of New York. On January 16, 2007, Wilmington Trust Company filed an
answer and counterclaim. The counterclaim seeks immediate payment of all principal and accrued and
unpaid interest on the Senior Notes. Alternatively, the counterclaim seeks damages measured by the
difference between the fair market value of the Senior Notes on or about September 22, 2006 and par
value of the Senior Notes. On February 5, 2007, we filed our answer denying the counterclaim.
On March 26, 2007, the Wilmington Trust Company filed a Motion for Summary Judgment as to our claim
and its counterclaim. Our opposition to the Motion for Summary Judgment was filed on May 7,
2007, and on that date, we also filed a Cross Motion for Summary Judgment as to our claims and
Wilmington Trust Companys counterclaim.
Unless and until there is a final judgment rendered in the lawsuit described above (including any
appellate proceedings), no legally enforceable determination can be made as to whether the failure
to timely file our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the period ending June 30, 2006 is a default
under the Indenture as alleged by the letters referenced above. If there is a final legally
enforceable determination that the failure to timely file our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the
period ending June 30, 2006 is a default under the Indenture, and that acceleration with respect to
the Senior Notes was proper, the principal and premium, if any, and all accrued and unpaid
interest, if any, on the Senior Notes would be immediately due and payable.
In the event the claim of default against us made by certain holders of the Senior Notes is upheld
in a court of law and we are required to payoff the Senior Notes, it is most likely that we would
utilize the Credit Facility to fund such payoff. Under the terms of the Credit Facility, we can
utilize borrowings under the revolving credit facility, subject to certain liquidity requirements,
or may seek additional commitments for funding under the Term Loan Facility of the Credit Facility.
We estimate we have sufficient liquidity to meet both the needs of our operations and any
potential payoff of the Senior Notes. While we do have availability under our Credit Facility to
draw funds to repay the Senior Notes, there may be a decrease in our credit availability that could
otherwise be used for other corporate purposes, such as acquisitions and share repurchases.
If our Senior Notes are refinanced or the determination is made that the outstanding balance is due
to the noteholders, the remaining unrealized loss on forward interest rate agreements reported in
other comprehensive income of $14.4 million ($9 million, net of income tax), unamortized deferred
financing costs of $2.8 million ($1.8 million, net of income tax) and unamortized discount of $0.6
million ($0.4 million, net of income tax) associated with our Senior Notes as of March 31, 2007 may
be adjusted and reported as interest expense in our Consolidated Statement of Income in the period
of refinancing or demand.
Other credit arrangements
Certain contracts, primarily in our Government segment, require us to provide a surety bond or a
letter of credit as a guarantee of performance. As of March 31, 2007, outstanding surety bonds of
$524.4 million and $93.3 million of our outstanding letters of credit secure our performance of
contractual obligations with our clients. Approximately $47.3 million of letters of credit and
$1.9 million of surety bonds secure our casualty insurance and vendor programs and other corporate
obligations. In general, we would only be liable for the amount of these guarantees in the event of
default in our performance of our obligations under each contract, the probability of which we
believe is remote. We believe that we have sufficient capacity in the surety markets and liquidity
from our cash flow and our Credit Facility to respond to future requests for proposals.
Credit Ratings
Following 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 and Quarterly Reports. On March 20, 2007, following the announcement that ACS
founder Darwin Deason and private equity fund Cerberus have proposed to buy the company, all three
agencies have 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,
60
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.
Derivative instruments and hedging activities
In March 2007, we entered into a five-year amortizing interest rate swap agreement. The agreement
is designated as a cash flow hedge of forecasted interest payments on the 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. As of March
31, 2007, the notional amount of the agreement totaled $700 million. The fair value of the
agreement was $(0.6 million) reflects termination cash value. The fair value of the agreement, net
of $0.2 million income tax, was reflected in accumulated other comprehensive income.
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 March 31,
2007, the notional amount of these agreements totaled 312 million pesos (approximately $27.8 million) and expire
at various dates over the next 12 months. Upon termination of these agreements, we will purchase
Mexican pesos at the exchange rates specified in the forward agreements to be used for payments on
our forecasted Mexican peso operating costs. As of March 31, 2007, the unrealized gain on these
foreign exchange forward agreements, reflected in accumulated other comprehensive loss, net, was
approximately $0.3 million ($0.2 million, net of income tax). As of June 30, 2006, the unrealized
loss on these foreign exchange forward agreements, reflected in accumulated other comprehensive
loss, was approximately $0.5 million ($0.3 million, net of income tax).
We have foreign exchange forward agreements that hedge our French operations Euro foreign exchange
exposure related to its Canadian dollar and United States dollar revenues. These agreements do not
qualify for hedge accounting under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, Accounting
for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. As a result, we recorded gains on hedging
instruments of $42,000 ($27,000, net of income tax) and $0.7 million ($0.4 million, net of income
tax) for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively and $2.4 million ($1.6
million, net of income tax) and $0.8 million ($0.5 million, net of income tax) for the nine months
ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively, in other non-operating income, net in our Consolidated
Statements of Income. As of March 31, 2007, the notional amount of these agreements totaled $44.4
million Canadian dollars and $4 million U.S. dollars and are set to expire at various times over
the next four years. As of March 31, 2007, a liability was recorded for the related fair value of
approximately $1.9 million.
Share Repurchase Programs
In June and August 2006, our Board of Directors authorized two share repurchase programs of up to
$1 billion each of our Class A common stock. The programs, which are open ended, allow us to
repurchase our shares on the open market, from time to time, in accordance with the requirements of
the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) rules and regulations, including shares that could
be purchased pursuant to SEC Rule 10b5-1. The number of shares to be purchased and the timing of
purchases will be based on the level of cash and debt balances, general business conditions, and
other factors, including alternative investment opportunities. As of March 31, 2007, we had
repurchased approximately 19.9 million shares under the June 2006 authorization at an average cost
of approximately $50.30 per share (approximately $1 billion) all of which have been retired, of
which 14.4 million shares with an average cost of approximately $50.64 per share (approximately
$730.7 million) were purchased and retired in the first quarter of fiscal year 2007. No
repurchases have been made under the August 2006 authorization as of the date of this filing. We
expect to fund repurchases under this additional share repurchase program from borrowings under our
Credit Facility.
Other
As discussed in Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations Review of Stock Option Grant Practices above, as a result of our internal
investigation into our stock option grant practices, we restated certain of our previously filed
consolidated financial statements and recorded cumulative adjustments for non-cash stock-based
compensation expense totaling $51.2 million. While these expenses are non-cash, the income tax
related impacts are expected to require the use of cash.
Through March 31, 2007, we have recorded approximately $39.7 million of additional income taxes,
estimated penalties and interest related to disallowed Section 162(m) executive compensation
deductions either resulting from revised measurement dates or due to factors unrelated to revised
measurement dates, but which were previously believed to qualify for Section 162(m) deductions. At
this time, we cannot predict when 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 these Section 162(m) issues in order to reduce future interest
that would accrue on the amounts of estimated taxes, penalties and interest. This payment is
reflected in cash
flows from operating activities at March 31, 2007. At March 31, 2007, we have approximately $4.7 million of
additional income taxes, estimated interest and penalties accrued related to these disallowed
Section 162(m) executive compensation deductions. At this time,
61
we cannot predict when the
remaining Section 162(m) underpayment deficiencies, together with interest and penalties, if any,
will be paid. We expect to fund any such payments from cash flows from operating activities.
We expect to pay to certain current and former employees approximately $9 million in order to
compensate such individuals for any economic loss such individual may suffer as the result of the
use of a measurement date that resulted in the option being granted at a below market option price.
We anticipate the $9 million related to Section 409A will be paid to the affected individuals beginning in
January 2008. We expect to fund any such payment from cash flows from operating activities,
however, we have not yet determined the impact to our results of operations and financial
condition. The increased exercise prices to be paid by optionholders upon their exercise is
expected to offset a significant portion of the $9 million; however, the timing of any such exercises
cannot be determined.
At March 31, 2007, we had cash and cash equivalents of $95.9 million compared to $100.8 million at
June 30, 2006. Our working capital (defined as current assets less current liabilities) increased
$84.4 million to $788.6 million at March 31, 2007 from $704.2 million at June 30, 2006. Our current
ratio (defined as total current assets divided by total current liabilities) was 2 and 1.9 at March
31, 2007 and June 30, 2006, respectively. Our debt-to-capitalization ratio (defined as the sum of
short-term and long-term debt divided by the sum of short-term and long-term debt and equity) was
54% and 40% at March 31, 2007 and June 30, 2006, respectively.
We believe that available cash and cash equivalents, together with cash generated from operations
and available borrowings under our Credit Facility, will provide adequate funds for our anticipated
internal growth and operating needs, including capital expenditures, and will meet the cash
requirements of our contractual obligations. However, due to the additional borrowings made in
relation to our share repurchase programs and if we utilize the unused portion of our Credit
Facility to repay the Senior Notes or for other corporate purposes, our indebtedness and interest
expense would increase, possibly significantly, and our indebtedness could be substantial in
relation to our stockholders equity. We believe that our expected cash flow provided by operating
activities, and anticipated access to the unused portion of our new Credit Facility and capital
markets will be adequate for our expected liquidity needs, including capital 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.

We have 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 $11 million to our pension plans in fiscal year 2007.
Minimum pension funding requirements are not included in the table above as such amounts are zero
for our pension plans as of March 31, 2007. In April 2007, we funded contributions of $6.1 million
to the U.S. Plan, which is included in the estimate of 2007 fundings above. See Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations Critical
Accounting Policies for discussion of our pension plans.
As discussed above, certain contracts, primarily in our Government segment, require us to provide a
surety bond or a letter of credit as a guarantee of performance. As of March 31, 2007, outstanding
surety bonds of $524.4 million and $93.3 million of our outstanding letters of credit secure our
performance of contractual obligations with our clients. Approximately $47.3 million of letters of
credit and $1.9 million of surety bonds secure our casualty insurance and vendor programs and other
corporate obligations. In general, we would only be liable for the amount of these guarantees in
the event of default in our performance of our obligations under each contract; the probability of
which we believe is remote. We believe that we have sufficient capacity in the surety markets and
liquidity from our cash flow and our Credit Facility to respond to future requests for proposals.
We are obligated to make contingent payments to former shareholders of acquired entities upon
satisfaction of certain contractual criteria in conjunction with certain acquisitions. During the
first nine months of fiscal year 2007, we made contingent consideration payments of $21.1 million
and accrued $5 million related to acquisitions completed in prior years. The $5 million accrued in
the third quarter was paid in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2007. As of March 31, 2007, the
maximum aggregate amount of the outstanding contingent obligations to former shareholders of
acquired entities is approximately $90.7 million. Upon satisfaction of the specified contractual
criteria, such payments primarily result in a corresponding increase in goodwill.
We have indemnified Lockheed Martin Corporation against certain specified claims from certain
pre-sale litigation, investigations, government audits and other issues related to the sale of 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 March 31, 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 16 to our Consolidated Financial Statements, we have agreed to indemnify
ManTech International Corporation with respect to the DOJ investigation related to purchasing
activities at Hanscom during the period 1998-2000.
Our Education Services business, which is included in our Commercial segment, performs third party
student loan servicing in the Federal Family Education Loan program (FFEL) on behalf of various
financial institutions. We service these loans for investors under outsourcing arrangements and do
not acquire any servicing rights that are transferable by us to a third party. At March 31, 2007,
we serviced a FFEL portfolio of approximately 2.2 million loans with an outstanding principal
balance of approximately $32 billion. Some servicing agreements contain provisions that, under
certain circumstances, require us to purchase the loans from the investor if the loan guaranty has
been permanently terminated as a result of a loan default caused by our servicing error. If
defaults caused by us are cured during an initial period, any obligation we may have to purchase
these loans expires. Loans that we purchase may be subsequently cured, the guaranty reinstated and
then we repackage the loans for sale to third parties. We evaluate our exposure under our purchase
obligations on defaulted loans and establish a reserve for potential losses, or default liability
reserve, through a charge to the provision for loss on defaulted loans purchased. The reserve is
evaluated periodically and adjusted based upon managements analysis of the historical performance
of the defaulted loans. As of March 31, 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 relating to the reporting of assets and
liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, and the reported amounts of
revenues and expenses. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other
assumptions or conditions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual
results could differ from those estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
Critical accounting policies are defined as those that are reflective of significant judgments and
uncertainties and may result in materially different results under different assumptions and
conditions. We believe that the following critical accounting policies used
in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements involve significant judgments and
estimates.
63
Revenue recognition
A significant portion of our revenue is recognized based on objective criteria that do not require
significant estimates or uncertainties. For example, transaction volumes and time and costs under
time and material and cost reimbursable arrangements are based on specific, objective criteria
under the contracts. Accordingly, revenues recognized under these methods do not require the use
of significant estimates that are susceptible to change. Revenue recognized using the
percentage-of-completion accounting method does require the use of estimates and judgment as
discussed below.
Our policy follows the guidance from SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin 104 Revenue Recognition (SAB
104). SAB 104 provides guidance on the recognition, presentation, and disclosure of revenue in
financial statements and updates Staff Accounting Bulletin Topic 13 to be consistent with Emerging
Issues Task Force Issue No. 00-21, Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables (EITF
00-21). We recognize revenues when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the services
have been provided to the client, the sales price is fixed or determinable, and collectibility is
reasonably assured.
During fiscal year 2006, approximately 77% of our revenue was recognized based on transaction
volumes, approximately 10% was fixed fee based, wherein our revenue is earned as we fulfill our
performance obligations under the arrangement, approximately 7% was related to cost reimbursable
contracts, approximately 4% of our revenue was recognized using percentage-of-completion accounting
and the remainder is related to time and material contracts. Our revenue mix is subject to change
due to the impact of acquisitions, divestitures and new business.
Revenues on cost reimbursable contracts are recognized by applying an estimated factor to costs as
incurred, such factor being determined by the contract provisions and prior experience. Revenues on
unit-price contracts are recognized at the contractual selling prices of work completed and
accepted by the client. Revenues on time and material contracts are recognized at the contractual
rates as the labor hours and direct expenses are incurred.
Revenues for business process outsourcing services are recognized as services are rendered,
generally on the basis of the number of accounts or transactions processed. Information technology
processing revenues are recognized as services are provided to the client, generally at the
contractual selling prices of resources consumed or capacity utilized by our clients. Revenues from
annual maintenance contracts are deferred and recognized ratably over the maintenance period.
Revenues from hardware sales are recognized upon delivery to the client and when uncertainties
regarding customer acceptance have expired.
Revenues on certain fixed price contracts where we provide information technology system
development and implementation services are recognized over the contract term based on the
percentage of development and implementation services that are provided during the period compared
with the total estimated development and implementation services to be provided over the entire
contract using Statement of Position 81-1, Accounting for Performance of Construction-Type and
Certain Production-Type Contracts (SOP 81-1). SOP 81-1 requires the use of
percentage-of-completion accounting for long-term contracts that are binding agreements between us
and our customers in which we agree, for compensation, to perform a service to the customers
specifications. These services require that we perform significant, extensive and complex design,
development, modification and implementation activities for our customers systems. Performance
will often extend over long periods, and our right to receive future payment depends on our future
performance in accordance with the agreement.
The percentage-of-completion methodology involves recognizing revenue using the percentage of
services completed, on a current cumulative cost to total cost basis, using a reasonably consistent
profit margin over the period. Due to the longer term nature of these projects, developing the
estimates of costs often requires significant judgment. Factors that must be considered in
estimating the progress of work completed and ultimate cost of the projects include, but are not
limited to, the availability of labor and labor productivity, the nature and complexity of the work
to be performed, and the impact of delayed performance. If changes occur in delivery, productivity
or other factors used in developing the estimates of costs or revenues, we revise our cost and
revenue estimates, which may result in increases or decreases in revenues and costs, and such
revisions are reflected in income in the period in which the facts that give rise to that revision
become known.
EITF 00-21 addresses the accounting treatment for an arrangement to provide the delivery or
performance of multiple products and/or services where the delivery of a product or system or
performance of services may occur at different points in time or over different periods of time.
The Emerging Issues Task Force reached a consensus regarding, among other issues, the applicability
of the provisions regarding separation of contract elements in EITF 00-21 to contracts where one or
more elements fall within the scope of other authoritative literature, such as SOP 81-1. EITF 00-21
does not impact the use of SOP 81-1 for contract elements that fall within the scope of SOP 81-1,
such as the implementation or development of an information technology system to client
specifications under a long-term contract. Where an implementation or development project is
contracted with a client, and we will also provide services or operate the system over a period of
time, EITF 00-21 provides the methodology for separating the contract elements and allocating
total arrangement consideration to the contract elements. We adopted the provisions of EITF 00-21
on a prospective basis to transactions entered into after July 1, 2003.
64
Revenues earned in excess of related billings are accrued, whereas billings in excess of revenues
earned are deferred until the related services are provided. We recognize revenues for
non-refundable, upfront implementation fees over the period between the initiation of the ongoing
services through the end of the contract term on a straight-line basis.
Cost of revenues
We present cost of revenues in our Consolidated Statements of Income based on the nature of the
costs incurred. Substantially all these costs are incurred in the provision of services to our
customers. The selling, general and administrative costs included in cost of revenues are not
material and are not separately presented in the Consolidated Statements of Income.
Contingencies
We account for claims and contingencies in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 5, Accounting for Contingencies (SFAS 5). SFAS 5 requires that we record an
estimated loss from a claim or loss contingency when information available prior to issuance of our
financial statements indicates that it is probable that an asset has been impaired or a liability
has been incurred at the date of the financial statements and the amount of the loss can be
reasonably estimated. Accounting for claims and contingencies requires us to use our judgment. We
consult with legal counsel on those issues related to litigation and seek input from other experts
and advisors with respect to matters in the ordinary course of business.
Our contracts with clients typically span several years. We continuously review and reassess our
estimates of contract profitability. If our estimates indicate that a contract loss will occur, a
loss accrual is recorded in the consolidated financial statements in the period it is first
identified. Circumstances that could potentially result in contract losses over the life of the
contract include decreases in volumes of transactions, variances from expected costs to deliver our
services, and other factors affecting revenues and costs.
Valuation of goodwill and intangibles
Due to the fact that we are primarily a services company, our business acquisitions typically
result in significant amounts of goodwill and other intangible assets, which affect the amount of
future period amortization expense and possible expense we could incur as a result of an
impairment. In addition, in connection with our revenue arrangements, we incur costs to originate
contracts and to perform the transition and setup activities necessary to enable us to perform
under the terms of the arrangement. We capitalize certain incremental direct costs which are
related to the contract origination or transition, implementation and setup activities and amortize
them over the term of the arrangement. From time to time, we also provide certain inducements to
customers in the form of various arrangements, including contractual credits, which are capitalized
and amortized as a reduction of revenue over the term of the contract. The determination of the
value of goodwill and other intangibles requires us to make estimates and assumptions about future
business trends and growth. We continually evaluate whether events and circumstances have occurred
that indicate the balance of goodwill or intangible assets may not be recoverable. In evaluating
impairment, we estimate the sum of expected future cash flows derived from the goodwill or
intangible asset. Such evaluation is significantly impacted by estimates and assumptions of future
revenues, costs and expenses and other factors. If an event occurs which would cause us to revise
our estimates and assumptions used in analyzing the value of our goodwill or other intangible
assets, such revision could result in a non-cash impairment charge that could have a material
impact on our financial results.
Share-Based Compensation
We adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based
Payment (SFAS 123(R)) as of July 1, 2005. SFAS 123(R) requires us to recognize compensation
expense for all share-based payment arrangements based on the fair value of the share-based payment
on the date of grant. We elected the modified prospective application method for adoption, which
requires compensation expense to be recorded for all stock-based awards granted after July 1, 2005
and for all unvested stock options outstanding as of July 1, 2005, beginning in the first quarter
of adoption. For all unvested options outstanding as of July 1, 2005, the remaining previously
measured but unrecognized compensation expense, based on the fair value using revised grant dates
as determined in connection with our internal investigation into our stock option grant practices
(see Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations Review of Stock Option Grant Practices above) will be recognized as wages and benefits in
the Consolidated Statements of Income on a straight-line basis over the remaining vesting period.
For share-based payments granted subsequent to July 1, 2005, compensation expense, based on the
fair value on the date of grant, will be recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Income in
wages and benefits on a straight-line basis over the vesting period. In determining the fair value
of stock options, we use the Black-Scholes option pricing model that employs the following
assumptions:
|
|
|
Expected volatility of our stock price based on historical monthly volatility over the
expected term based on daily closing stock prices. |
|
|
|
|
Expected term of the option based on historical employee stock option exercise behavior,
the vesting term of the respective option and the contractual term. |
|
|
|
|
Risk-free interest rate for periods within the expected term of the option. |
|
|
|
|
Dividend yield. |
65
Our stock price volatility and expected option lives are based on managements best estimates
at the time of grant, both of which impact the fair value of the option calculated under the
Black-Scholes methodology and, ultimately, the expense that will be recognized over the vesting
term of the option.
SFAS 123(R) requires that we recognize compensation expense for only the portion of
share-based payment arrangements that are expected to vest. Therefore, we apply estimated
forfeiture rates that are based on historical employee termination behavior. We periodically adjust
the estimated forfeiture rates so that only the compensation expense related to share-based payment
arrangements that vest are included in wages and benefits. If the actual number of forfeitures
differs from those estimated by management, additional adjustments to compensation expense may be
required in future periods.
Pension and post-employment benefits
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 87, Employers Accounting for Pensions (SFAS
87), establishes standards for reporting and accounting for pension benefits provided to
employees. We have pension plans for employees located in Canada and the United Kingdom (UK).
These defined benefit plans provide benefits for participating employees based on years of service
and average compensation for a specified period before retirement. We have established June 30 as
our measurement date for these defined benefit plans. The net periodic benefit costs for these
plans are included in wages and benefits in our Consolidated Statements of Income.
The measurement of the pension benefit obligation of the plans at the acquisition date was
accounted for using the business combination provisions in SFAS 87, therefore, all previously
existing unrecognized net gain or loss, unrecognized prior service cost, or unrecognized net
obligation or net asset existing prior to the date of the acquisition was included in our
calculation of the pension benefit obligation recorded at acquisition.
In addition to these pension plans, we assumed a post-employment medical plan for Acquired HR
Business employees and retirees in Canada. The amount of health care benefits is limited to
lifetime maximum and age limitations as described in the plan.
In December 2005, we adopted a pension plan for the U.S. employees of Buck Consultants, LLC, a
wholly owned subsidiary, which was acquired in connection with the Acquired HR Business. The U.S.
pension plan is a funded plan. We have established June 30 as our measurement date for this plan.
The plan recognizes service for eligible employees from May 26, 2005, the date of the acquisition
of the Acquired HR Business. We recorded prepaid pension costs and projected benefit obligation
related to this prior service which will be amortized over approximately 9.3 years and included in
the net periodic benefit costs which is included in wages and benefits in our Consolidated
Statements of Income. The plan was unfunded as of March 31, 2007. In April 2007, we contributed
$6.1 million to this plan.
A small group of employees located in Germany participate in a pension plan. This plan is not
material to our results of operations or financial position and is not included in the disclosures
below. A group of employees acquired with Transport Revenue participate in a multi-employer
pension plan in Switzerland. Contributions to the plan are not considered material to our
Consolidated Statements of Income.

We estimate the long-term rate of return on non-U.S. plan assets and U.S. plan assets will be 7%
and 7.5%, respectively, based on the long-term target asset allocation. As of March 31, 2007, the
U.S. plan was not funded. We expect to fund the U.S. plan in fiscal year 2007 upon adoption of
investment policies for the plan. Expected returns for the following asset classes used in the
plans are based on a combination of long-term historical returns and current and expected market
conditions.
The UK pension schemes target asset allocation is 50% equity securities, 40% debt securities and
10% in real estate. External investment managers actively manage all of the asset classes. The
target asset allocation has been set by the plans trustee board with a view to meeting the
long-term return assumed for setting the employers contributions while also reducing volatility
relative to the plans liabilities. The managers engaged by the trustees manage their assets with
a view to seeking moderate out-performance of appropriate benchmarks for each asset class. At this
time, the trustees do not engage in any alternative investment strategies, apart from UK commercial
property.
The Canadian funded plans target asset allocation is 37% Canadian provincial and corporate bonds,
33% larger capitalization Canadian stocks, 25% developed and larger capitalization Global ex Canada
stocks (mainly U.S. and international stocks) and 5% cash and cash equivalents. A single
investment manager actively manages all of the asset classes. This manager uses an equal blend of
large cap value and large cap growth for stocks in order to participate in the returns generated by
stocks in the long-term, while reducing year-over-year volatility. The bonds are managed using a
core approach where multiple strategies are engaged such as interest rate anticipation, credit
selection and yield curve positioning to mitigate overall risk. At this time, the manager does not
engage in any alternative investment strategies.
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 106, Employers Accounting for Postretirement
Benefits Other Than Pensions (SFAS 106) requires the disclosure of assumed healthcare cost trend
rates for next year used to measure the expected cost of benefits covered. For measurement
purposes, an 8.3% composite annual rate of increase in the per capita costs of covered healthcare
benefits was assumed for fiscal year 2007; this rate was assumed to decrease gradually to 4.5% by
2013 and remain at that level thereafter. The healthcare cost trend rate assumption may have a
significant effect on the SFAS 106 projections. The table below illustrates the effect of
increasing or decreasing the assumed healthcare cost trend rates by one percentage point for each
future year

Allowance for doubtful accounts
We make estimates of the collectibility of our accounts receivable. We specifically analyze
accounts receivable and historical bad debts, customer credit-worthiness, current economic trends,
and changes in our customer payment terms and collection trends when evaluating the adequacy of our
allowance for doubtful accounts. Any change in the assumptions used in analyzing a specific account
receivable may result in additional allowance for doubtful accounts being recognized in the period
in which the change occurs.
Income taxes
The determination of our provision for income taxes requires significant judgment, the use of
estimates, and the interpretation and application of complex tax laws. Significant judgment is
required in assessing the timing and amounts of deductible and taxable items. We establish
reserves when, despite our belief that our tax return positions are fully supportable, we believe
that certain positions may be challenged and that we may not succeed. Our provision for income
taxes includes the impact of these reserve changes. We adjust these reserves in light of changing
facts and circumstances. In the event that there is a significant unusual or one-time item
recognized in our operating results, the taxes attributable to that item would be separately
calculated and recorded at the same time as the unusual or one-time item.
Deferred income taxes are determined based on the difference between financial statement and tax
bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the years in which such
differences are expected to reverse. We routinely evaluate all deferred tax assets to determine
the likelihood of their realization.
NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 158, Employers Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other
Postretirement Plans (SFAS 158), SFAS 158 amends SFAS 87, Employers Accounting for Pensions,
SFAS 88, Employers Accounting for Settlements and Curtailments of Defined Benefit Pension Plans
and for Termination Benefits, SFAS 106, Employers Accounting for Postretirement Benefits Other
Than Pensions, and SFAS 132 (revised 2003), Employers Disclosures about Pensions and Other
Postretirement Benefits. SFAS No. 158 requires employers to recognize in its statement of
financial position an asset for a plans overfunded status or a liability for a plans underfunded
status. Thirdly, it requires employers to measure the plans assets and obligations that determine
its funded status as of the end of the fiscal year. Lastly, employers are required to recognize
changes in the funded status of a defined benefit postretirement plan in the year that the changes
occur with the changes reported in comprehensive income. SFAS 158 is required to be adopted by
entities with fiscal years ending after December 15, 2006. The adoption of this standard is not
expected to have a material impact on our financial condition, results of operation or liquidity.
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157 Fair Value Measurements (SFAS 157). SFAS 157
defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with U.S. GAAP,
and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. The statement clarifies that the exchange
price is the price in an orderly transaction between market participants to sell an asset or
transfer a liability at the measurement date. The statement emphasizes that fair value is a
market-based measurement and not an entity-specific measurement. It also establishes a fair value
hierarchy used in fair value measurements and expands the required disclosures of assets and
liabilities measured at fair value. SFAS 157 is effective for financial statements issued for
fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The adoption of this standard is not expected to
have a material impact on our financial condition, results of operation or liquidity.
In September 2006, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) released SEC Staff Accounting
Bulletin No. 108, Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying
Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements, (SAB 108), which addresses how uncorrected
errors in previous years should be considered when quantifying errors in current-year financial
statements. SAB 108 requires registrants to consider the effect of all carry over and reversing
effects of prior-year misstatements when quantifying errors in current-year financial statements.
SAB 108 does not change the SEC staffs previous guidance on evaluating the materiality of errors.
It allows registrants to record the effects of adopting SAB 108 guidance as a cumulative-effect
adjustment to retained earnings. This adjustment must be reported in the annual financial
statements of the first fiscal year ending after November
15, 2006. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material impact on our financial
condition, results of operation or
liquidity.
68
In July 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 48 (FIN 48), Accounting for Uncertainty in
Income Taxesan interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109, which prescribes comprehensive
guidelines for recognizing, measuring, presenting and disclosing in the financial statements tax
positions taken or expected to be taken on tax returns. FIN 48, effective for fiscal years
beginning after December 15, 2006, seeks to reduce the diversity in practice associated with
certain aspects of the recognition and measurement related to accounting for income taxes. We are
currently assessing the impact of FIN 48 on our consolidated financial position and results of
operations.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
We are exposed to market risk from changes in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates.
Our Credit Facility (see Note 9 to our Consolidated Financial Statements) is a variable rate
facility and is subject to market risk from changes in interest rates. Risk can be estimated by
measuring the impact of a near-term adverse movement of 10% in short-term market interest rates.
If these rates at March 31, 2007 were 10% higher or lower, and if the amount of our floating rate debt
outstanding as of March 31, 2007 under the Credit Facility had been outstanding for the three and
nine months ended March 31, 2007, our results of operations would have been approximately $1.3
million and $3.9 million, net of income tax, respectively, lower or higher, respectively.
As of March 31, 2007, there have been no other material changes in our market risk from June 30,
2006. For further information regarding our market risk, refer to our Annual Report on Form 10-K/A
for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2006.
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 March 31, 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 March 31, 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 March 31, 2007 that have
materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over
financial reporting.

PART II
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
Information regarding legal proceedings is incorporated by reference from Note 16 to our
consolidated financial statements set forth in Part I of this report.
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
As of the date of filing of this report, there had not been any material changes to the information
related to the Item IA. Risk Factors disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the fiscal
year ended June 30, 2006 filed with the SEC on February 1, 2007.
ITEM 3. DEFAULTS UPON SENIOR SECURITIES
On July 6, 2006, we amended our secured term loan facility (Term Loan Facility) under our Credit
Agreement dated March 20, 2006 (Credit Facility) and borrowed an additional $500 million on July
6, 2006 and an additional $500 million on August 1, 2006. As a result of the increase to the
facility, the Applicable Margin, as defined in the Credit Facility, increased to LIBOR plus 200
basis points. We used the proceeds of the Term Loan Facility increase to finance the purchase of
shares of our Class A common stock under our June 2006 authorization and for the payment of
transaction costs, fees and expenses related to the increase in the Term Loan Facility.
Following our tender offer completed in March 2006, our credit
ratings were downgraded by Moodys
and Standard and Poors, both to below investment grade. Standard & Poors further downgraded us to
BB upon our announcement in June 2006 of the approval by our Board of Directors of a new $1 billion
share repurchase plan. Fitch initiated its coverage of us in August 2006 at a rating of BB, except
for our Senior Notes (defined below) which were rated BB-. Standard & Poors downgraded our credit rating further,
to B+, following our announcement on September 28, 2006 that we would not be able to file our
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the period ending June 30, 2006 by the September 28, 2006 extended
deadline. On March 7, 2007, Standard & Poors raised our credit rating to BB, reflecting the filing of our Annual and Quarterly
Reports. On March 20, 2007, following the announcement that ACS founder Darwin Deason and private equity fund Cerberus have proposed to buy the company,
all three agencies have placed ACS on review for potential downgrade.
On September 26, 2006, we received an amendment, consent and waiver from the lenders under our
Credit Facility with respect to, among other provisions, waiver of any default or event of default
arising under the Credit Facility as a result of our failure to comply with certain reporting
covenants relating to other indebtedness, including covenants purportedly requiring the filing of
reports with either the SEC or the holders of such indebtedness, so long as those requirements are
complied with by December 31, 2006. As consideration for this amendment, consent and waiver, we
paid a fee of $2.6 million.
On December 21, 2006, we received an amendment, consent and waiver from lenders under our Credit
Facility. The amendment, consent and waiver includes the following provisions, among others:
|
(1) |
|
Consent to the delivery, on or prior to February 14, 2007,
of (i) the financial statements, accountants report and
compliance certificate for the fiscal year ended June 30,
2006 and (ii) financial statements and related compliance
certificates for the fiscal quarters ended June 30, 2006
and September 30, 2006, and waiver of any default arising
from the failure to deliver any such financial statements,
reports or certificates within the applicable time period
provided for in the Credit Agreement, provided that any
such failure to deliver resulted directly or indirectly
from the previously announced investigation of the
Companys historical stock option grant practices (the
Options Matter). |
|
|
(2) |
|
Waiver of any default or event of default arising from the
incorrectness of representations and warranties made or
deemed to have been made with respect to certain financial
statements previously delivered to the Agent as a result of
any restatement, adjustment or other modification of such
financial statements resulting directly or indirectly from
the Options Matter. |
|
|
(3) |
|
Waiver of any default or event of default which may arise
from the Companys or its subsidiaries failure to comply
with reporting covenants under other indebtedness that are
similar to those in the Credit Agreement (including any
covenant to file any report with the Securities and
Exchange Commission or to furnish such reports to the
holders of such indebtedness), provided such reporting
covenants are complied with on or prior to February 14,
2007. |
|
|
(4) |
|
Amendments to provisions relating to the permitted uses of
the proceeds of revolving loans under the Credit Agreement
that (i) increase to $500 million from $350 million the
aggregate principal amount of revolving loans that may be
outstanding, the proceeds of which may be used to satisfy
the obligations under the Companys 4.70% Senior Notes due
2010 or 5.20% Senior Notes due 2015 and (ii) until June 30,
2007, decrease to $200 million from $300 million the
minimum liquidity (i.e., the aggregate amount of the
Companys unrestricted cash in excess of $50 million and
availability under the Credit Agreements revolving
facility) required after giving effect to such use of
proceeds. |
70
As consideration for this amendment, waiver and consent, we paid a fee of $1.3 million. We filed
our Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2006 on February 1, 2007 and
our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2006 on January 23, 2007.
Senior Notes
On September 22, 2006, we received a letter from CEDE & Co. (CEDE) sent on behalf of certain
holders of our 5.20% Senior Notes due 2015 (the 5.20% Senior Notes) issued by us under that
certain Indenture dated June 6, 2005 (the Indenture) between us and The Bank of New York Trust
Company, N.A. (the Trustee) advising us that we were in default of our covenants under the
Indenture. The letter alleged that our failure to timely file our Annual Report on Form 10-K for
the period ending June 30, 2006 by September 13, 2006, was a default under the terms of the
Indenture. On September 29, 2006, we received a letter from CEDE sent on behalf of the same persons
declaring an acceleration with respect to the 5.20% Senior Notes, as a result of our failure to
remedy the default set forth in the September 22 letter related to our failure to timely file our
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the period ended June 30, 2006. The September 29 letter declared
that the principal amount and premium, if any, and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the
5.20% Senior Notes were due and payable immediately, and demanded payment of all amounts owed in
respect of the 5.20% Senior Notes.
On September 29, 2006 we received a letter from the Trustee with respect to the 5.20% Senior Notes.
The letter alleged that we were in default of our covenants under the Indenture with respect to the
5.20% Senior Notes, as the result of our failure to timely file our Annual Report on Form 10-K for
the period ending June 30, 2006 on or before September 28, 2006. On October 6, 2006, we received a
letter from the Trustee declaring an acceleration with respect to the 5.20% Senior Notes as a
result of our failure to timely file our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the period ending June 30,
2006 on or before September 28, 2006. The October 6, 2006 letter declared the principal amount and
premium, if any, and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the 5.20% Senior Notes to be due and
payable immediately, and demanded payment of all amounts owed in respect of the 5.20% Senior Notes.
In addition, our 4.70% Senior Notes due 2010 (the 4.70% Senior Notes) were also issued under the
Indenture and have identical default and acceleration provisions as the 5.20% Senior Notes. On
October 9, 2006, we received letters from certain holders of the 4.70% Senior Notes issued by us
under the Indenture, advising us that we were in default of our covenants under the Indenture. The
letters alleged that our failure to timely file our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the period
ending June 30, 2006 by September 13, 2006, was a default under the terms of the Indenture. On
November 9, 10 and 16, 2006, we received letters from CEDE sent on behalf of certain holders of our
4.70% Senior Notes, declaring an acceleration of the 4.70% Senior Notes as the result of our
failure to timely file our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the period ending June 30, 2006. The
November 9, 10 and 16, 2006 letters declared the principal amount and premium, if any, and accrued
and unpaid interest, if any, on the 4.70% Senior Notes to be due and payable immediately, and
demanded payment of all amounts owed under the 4.70% Senior Notes.
It is our position that no default has occurred under the Indenture and that no acceleration has
occurred with respect to the 5.20% Senior Notes or the 4.70% Senior Notes (collectively, the
Senior Notes) or otherwise under the Indenture. Further we have filed a lawsuit against the
Trustee in the United States District Court, Northern District of Texas, Dallas Division, seeking a
declaratory judgment affirming our position.
On December 19, 2006, we entered into an Instrument of Resignation, Appointment and Acceptance with
the Trustee and Wilmington Trust Company (herein so called), whereby the Trustee resigned as
trustee, as well as other offices or agencies, with respect to the Senior Notes, and was replaced
by Wilmington Trust Company. On January 8, 2007, the Court entered an order substituting Wilmington
Trust Company for the Bank of New York. On January 16, 2007, Wilmington Trust Company filed an
answer and counterclaim. The counterclaim seeks immediate payment of all principal and accrued and
unpaid interest on the Senior Notes. Alternatively, the counterclaim seeks damages measured by the
difference between the fair market value of the Senior Notes on or about September 22, 2006 and par
value of the Senior Notes. On February 5, 2007, we filed our answer denying the counterclaim.
On March 26, 2007, the Wilmington Trust Company filed a Motion for Summary Judgment as to our claim
and its counterclaim. Our opposition to the Motion for Summary Judgment was filed on May 7,
2007, and on that date, we also filed a Cross Motion for Summary Judgment as to our claims and
Wilmington Trust Companys counterclaim.
Unless and until there is a final judgment rendered in the lawsuit described above (including any
appellate proceedings), no legally enforceable determination can be made as to whether the failure
to timely file our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the period ending June 30, 2006 is a default
under the Indenture as alleged by the letters referenced above. If there is a final legally
enforceable determination that the failure to timely file our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the
period ending June 30, 2006 is a default under the Indenture, and that acceleration with respect to
the Senior Notes was proper, the principal and premium, if any, and all accrued and unpaid
interest, if any, on the Senior Notes would be immediately due and payable.
In the event the claim of default against us made by certain holders of the Senior Notes is upheld
in a court of law and we are required to payoff the Senior Notes, it is most likely that we would
utilize the Credit
71
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 $14.4 million ($9 million, net of income tax), unamortized deferred
financing costs of $2.8 million ($1.8 million, net of income tax) and unamortized discount of $0.6
million ($0.4 million, net of income tax) associated with our Senior Notes as of March 31, 2007 may
be adjusted and reported as interest expense in our Consolidated Statement of Income in the period
of refinancing or demand.
