Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
Three and nine months ended March 31,September 30, 2005 and 2004
(Unaudited)
(1) BASIS OF PRESENTATION
GP Strategies Corporation ("the Company") was incorporated in Delaware in
1959. As of March 31,September 30, 2005, the Company's business consists of its
training and workforce development business operated by General Physics
Corporation ("General Physics" or "GP"). General Physics is a workforce
development company that seeks to improve the effectiveness of
organizations by providing training, management consulting, e-Learning
solutions and engineering services that are customized to meet the specific
needs of clients.
On September 30, 2005, the Company completed a taxable spin-off of its simulation business
operated by57%
interest in GSE Systems Inc. ("GSE") through a dividend to the Company's
stockholders. GSE is a stand alone public company which provides simulation
solutions and services to energy, process and manufacturing industries
worldwide. On September 30, 2005, stockholders received in the spin-off
0.283075 shares of GSE common stock for each share of the Company's common
stock or Class B stock held on the record date of September 19, 2005.
Following the spin-off, the Company ceased to have any ownership interest
in GSE and the operations of GSE have been reclassified as discontinued in
the Company's condensed consolidated statements of operations for all
periods presented (see note 4). The Company will continue to provide
corporate support services to GSE, including accounting, finance, human
resources, legal, network support and tax, pursuant to a management
services agreement, which has been extended through December 31, 2005 (see
notes 4 and 10).
On November 24, 2004, the Company completed the tax-free spin-off of
National Patent Development Corporation ("NPDC"). Subsequent to the
spin-off, the results of operations of NPDC are presented as discontinued
in the Company's condensed consolidated statements of operations for the
three and nine months ended September 30, 2004.
The condensed consolidated financial statements include the operations of
the Company and its majority-owned subsidiaries. All significant
intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.
The accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of March 31,September 30,
2005,
and the condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three and
nine months ended September 30, 2005, and the condensed consolidated
statement of cash flows for the threenine months ended March 31,September 30, 2005 have
not been audited, but have been prepared in conformity with U.S. generally
accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with
the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. These
condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction
with the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended
December 31, 2004 as presented in our Annual Report on Form 10-K/A dated
April 5,May 16, 2005. In the opinion of management, this interim information
includes all material adjustments, which are of a normal and recurring
nature, necessary for a fair presentation. The results for the 2005 interim
periods are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the
entire year. Certain amounts infor 2004 have been reclassified to conform
with the presentation for 2005.
Prior to November 24, 2004,In September 2005 in conjunction with the spin-off of GSE, the Company
had five operating business
segments: Manufacturing & Process, Information Technology, Simulation,
Optical Plastics and Home Improvement Distribution. On November 24, 2004,identified an amount in its deferred tax assets that related to the excess
tax basis over book basis of its investment in GSE. This deferred tax asset
should have been eliminated in purchase accounting when the Company
completedincreased its ownership interest in GSE to 57% in October 2003. The Company
has reclassified $1.5 million from noncurrent deferred tax assets to
goodwill in its December 31, 2004 condensed consolidated balance sheet
herein. The Company determined the distribution, which we refer to asreclassification had a deminimus impact
on the "spin-off,"results of the common stock of National Patent Development Corporation
("NPDC"), which comprised our Optical PlasticsCompany's operations for all periods subsequent to
October 2003 and Home Improvement
Distribution segments and certain other non-core assets.
Subsequentwas not material quantitatively or qualitatively to the spin-off, we have reclassified the operations of NPDC as
discontinued in our condensed
consolidated financial statements for the
three months ended March 31, 2004.
General Physics istaken as a workforce development company that improves the
effectiveness of organizations by providing training, management
consulting, e-Learning solutions and engineering services that are
customized to meet the specific needs of clients.
GSE develops and delivers business and technology solutions by applying
simulation software, systems and services to energy, process and
manufacturing industries worldwide. In the first quarter of 2005, GSE
incurred a significant operating loss. GSE's revenue and profitability
were primarily impacted by a lower volume of orders logged.whole.

(3) STOCK BASED COMPENSATION
The Company applies the intrinsic-value-based method of accounting
prescribed by Accounting Principles Board ("APB") Opinion No. 25,
Accounting for Stock IssuesIssued to Employees, and related interpretations
including Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Interpretation No.
44, Accounting for Certain Transactions Involving Stock Compensation, an
interpretation of APB Opinion No. 25, to account for its fixed-plan stock
options. Under this method, compensation expense is recorded on the date of
grant only if the current market price of the underlying stock exceeds the
exercise price of the options. SFASStatement of Financial Accounting Standards
(SFAS) No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, as amended,
established accounting and disclosure requirements using a fair-value-based
method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation plans. As
allowed by SFAS No. 123, the Company has elected to continue to apply the
intrinsic-value-based method of accounting described above, and has adopted
only the disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 123.

The Gabelli Notes bear interest at 6% per annum payable semi-annually
commencing on December 31, 2003 and mature in August
2008. The Gabelli Notes are secured by a mortgage on the Company's former property located
in Pawling, New York, which was distributed to NPDC. In addition, at
any time that less than $1,875,000 of the principal amount of the
Gabelli Notes are outstanding, the Company may defease the obligations
secured by the mortgage and obtain a release of the mortgage by
depositing with an agent for the Noteholders, bonds or government
securities with an investment grade rating by a nationally recognized
rating agency which, without reinvestment, will provide cash on the
maturity date of the Gabelli Notes in an amount not less than the
outstanding principal amount of the Gabelli Notes.
The GP Warrants have an exercise price of $6.14$5.85 per share, as amended
following the spin-offspin-offs of NPDC and GSE, and are exercisable at any
time until August 2008. The exercise price may be paid in cash, by
delivery of the Gabelli Notes, or a combination of the two. The GP
Warrants contain anti-dilution provisions for stock splits,
reorganizations, mergers and similar transactions. The fair value of
the GP Warrants at the date of issuance was $2,389,000, which reduced
long-term debt in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance
sheets. This amount is being accreted as additional interest expense
using the effective interest rate over the term of the Gabelli Notes.

Agreement (the Credit Agreement)"Credit Agreement") for which $1,500,000 is allocated for
use by GSE, with a bank that expires on August 13, 2006 with annual renewal
options. The "Credit Agreement"Credit Agreement is secured by certain assets of General
Physics and provides for an unsecured guaranty from the Company.
The interest rate on the Credit Agreement is at the daily LIBOR market
index rate plus 3.00%3%, which as of March 31,September 30, 2005 was approximately 5.85%6.84%.

coverage ratio and its ability to make capital expenditures. General
Physics was in compliance with all loan covenants under the Credit
Agreement as of September 30, 2005. The Credit Agreement also contains
certain restrictive covenants including a prohibition on future
acquisitions, incurrence of debt and the payment of dividends. General
Physics is currently restricted from paying dividends or management fees to
the Company in excess of $1,000,000 in any fiscal year.
On March 9, 2005, General Physics received a waiver to loan
GSE a maximum of $1.0 million to satisfy any GSE short-term capital
requirements (the "GSE Loan") as described below. General Physics
was in compliance with all loan covenants under the Credit Agreement
as of March 31, 2005.
The Company repaid in full the $6,068,000 outstanding under the Credit
Agreement as of December 31, 2004 in the first quarter of 2005, using the
proceeds received from the arbitration settlement.settlement as discussed in more
detail in Note 9, Litigation. As of March 31,September 30, 2005, there werethe Company had no
borrowings outstanding under the Credit Agreement and there was
approximately $18,395,000$19,313,000 of available borrowings based upon 80% of
eligible accounts receivable and 80% of eligible unbilled receivables.
(b) GSE
On March 30, 2004, under the terms of the General Physics' Credit
Agreement, as amended, $1,500,000 of General Physics' Credit
Agreement was allocated for use by GSE. The Credit Agreement was
amended to provide for additional collateral consisting of
substantially all of GSE's assets, as well as certain covenants
specific to GSE. It provides for borrowings by GSE up to 80% of
eligible accounts receivable and 80% of eligible unbilled
receivables, up to a maximum of $1,500,000. The interest rate is
based upon the LIBOR market index rate plus 3%, with interest only
payments due monthly (5.85 % as of March 31, 2005). The Company
agreed to guarantee GSE's borrowings under the Credit Agreement, as
amended, in consideration for a fee pursuant to the Management
Services Agreement. There were no borrowings outstanding at December
31, 2004. As of March 31, 2005, the amount outstanding under the
Credit Agreement was $700,000 and approximately $800,000 was
available to be borrowed under the Credit Agreement. The Company has
classified the borrowings outstanding under the Credit Agreement as
a current obligation.
The Credit Agreement requires GSE to comply with certain financial
ratios. At March 31, 2005, GSE was not in compliance with its debt

GSE no later than June 9, 2006 and will be on such other terms and
conditions as are agreed upon by General Physics and GSE. The GSE
Loan would be reduced by any amounts owed by GSE to the Company or
General Physics, primarily in connection with the Management
Services Agreement, which aggregated approximately $570,000 as of
March 31, 2005. Therefore, the availability under the GSE Loan was

equity financing, although there can be no assurance that such debt
or equity financing will be available. The Company is currently
evaluating various alternatives with respect to its investment in
GSE. The Company expects to support GSE with its short-term capital
requirements as disclosed. Additional financial support from the

(8)(9) LITIGATION
On January 3, 2001, the Company commenced an action alleging that MCI
Communications Corporation ("MCI"), MCI's Systemhouse subsidiaries
("Systemhouse"), and Electronic Data Systems Corporation, as successor to
Systemhouse ("EDS"), committed fraud in connection with the Company's 1998
acquisition of Learning Technologies from the defendants for $24,300,000.$24,300,000 in
cash. The Company seeks actual damages in the amount of $117,900,000$74,067,044 plus
interest, punitive damages in an amount to be determined at trial, and
costs, subject to reduction as set forth below.
The complaint, which is pendingwas filed in the New York State Supreme Court, alleges
that the defendants fraudulently induced the Company to acquire Learning
Technologies by concealing the poor performance of Learning Technologies'
United Kingdom operation. The complaint also alleges that the defendants
represented that Learning Technologies would continue to receive new
business from Systemhouse even though the defendants knew that the sale of
Systemhouse to EDS was imminent and that such new business would cease
after such sale. In February 2001, the defendants filed answers denying
liability. 13

No counterclaims against the plaintiffs have been asserted.
Although discovery had not yet been completed, defendants made a motion for

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

motion was denied by the court due to the MCI bankruptcy, but with leave to
the other defendants to renew.
The defendants other than MCI then made an application to the court to stay
the fraud action until the Company and EDS completed a later-commenced
arbitration, allegingin which the Company alleged breach of the acquisition
agreement and of a separate agreement to refer business to General Physics
on a preferred provider basis and seeking actual damages in the amount of
$17,600,000 plus interest, was concluded.interest. In a decision dated May 9, 2003, the court
granted the motion and stayed the fraud action pending the outcome of the
arbitration.
The arbitration hearings began on May 17, 2004 and concluded on May 24,
2004 before JAMS, a private dispute resolution firm. On September 10, 2004,
the arbitrator issued an interim award in which she found that the sellers
of Learning Technologies breached certain representations and warranties
contained in the acquisition agreement. In a final award dated November 29,
2004, the arbitrator awarded General Physics $12,273,575 in damages and
$6,016,109 in pre-award interest. (The damages sought in the litigation are
subject to reduction by the $12,273,575 in damages awarded in the
arbitration.) On December 30, 2004, EDS made a payment of $18,428,486,
which included $138,802 of post-award interest, to the
CompanyGeneral Physics to
satisfy its obligation under the arbitration award, which cash was held in
escrow as of December 31, 2004. EDS subsequently agreed that the
arbitration award was final and binding and that it would take no steps of
any kind to vacate or otherwise challenge the award. As a result of the
foregoing, the Company recognized a gain on the arbitration award, net of
legal fees and expenses, of $13,660,000 in 2004.
As a result of the conclusion of the arbitration, the state court lifted
the stay of the fraud claim against the defendants other than MCI. On
February 14, 2005, such defendants filed a new motion for summary judgment
dismissing the Company's fraud claim against them. The Company opposed the
motion, which was argued on April 4, 2005. TheOn June 6, 2005, the court
has not yet ruledissued a decision on the motion but setfor summary judgment refusing to dismiss
the Company's claims against EDS and Systemhouse relating to false
representations concerning the financial condition of Learning
Technologies' United Kingdom operation and held that the Company had
presented evidence sufficient to raise triable issues of fact as to whether
defendants provided the Company with financial projections which they knew
to be false or unreasonable, and made representations or omissions
indicating that Learning Technologies' United Kingdom operation was on
track to achieve revenue targets which they knew it would be unable to
achieve. However, the court dismissed the Company's claim that it had been
fraudulently induced to acquire Learning Technologies based on false
representations that Systemhouse was not for sale. The Company requested a
jury trial. Jury selection has commenced, and the trial dateis expected to
begin the week of November 1, 2005 in the event the
summary judgment motion is denied.14, 2005.
The fraud action against MCI had been stayed as a result of the bankruptcy
of MCI. In February 2004, the Bankruptcy Court lifted the stay so that the
state court could rule on the merits of MCI's summary judgment motion. MCI
has asked the Bankruptcy Court to reinstate the stay and to rule on its
summary judgment motion. The Company has argued that it would be more
efficient if the state court ruled on both summary judgment motions. The
Bankruptcy Court has not yet decided whether it or the state court should
determine MCI's summary judgment motion.
In connection with the spin-off of NPDC by the Company, the Company agreed
to make an additional capital contribution to NPDC in an amount equal to
the first $5,000,000 of any proceeds (net of litigation

received with respect to the foregoing arbitration and litigation claims.
Pursuant to such agreement, in January 2005, the Company made a $5,000,000
distribution to NPDC out of the proceeds of the arbitration award. The net
cash proceeds to the Company were approximately $8,500,000 after legal fees
and the distribution to NPDC. A portion of such net proceeds was used to

facility, which as of December 31, 2004 was $6.1 million.
The Company is not a party to any legal proceeding, the outcome of which is
believed by management to have a reasonable likelihood of having a material
adverse effect upon the financial condition and operating results of the
Company.
(9) NEW(10) RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Management Services Agreements Between NPDC and the Company
Prior to the spin-off, NPDC was a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.
In connection with the spin-off, NPDC entered into a separate management
agreement with the Company pursuant to which the Company provides certain
general corporate services to NPDC.
Corporate Tax, Legal Support, and Executive Management Consulting Services
The Company has four associates, including the Chief Executive Officer and
Chief Legal Officer, who also provide services to NPDC under a management
services agreement, for which the Company is reimbursed for such services.
Services under the agreement relate to corporate federal and state income
taxes, corporate legal services, corporate secretarial administrative
support, and executive management consulting. The term of the agreement
extends for three years from the date of the spin-off, or through November
24, 2007, and may be terminated by either NPDC or the Company on or after
July 30, 2006 with 180 days prior written notice. Pursuant to an amendment
to the management services agreement effective July 1, 2005, NPDC will pay
the Company an annual fee of not less than $969,500 as compensation for
these services, payable in equal monthly installments. For the three and
nine months ended September 30, 2005, the Company charged NPDC $242,000 and
$899,000, respectively, which is included as a reduction of selling,
general and administrative expenses for services under this management
agreement.
In connection with the spin-off of NPDC, the Company also entered into a
separate management agreement with NPDC pursuant to which it was
anticipated that the Company would receive certain general corporate
services from NPDC. No such services have been required or provided, so the
Company and NPDC entered into a termination agreement effective as of July
1, 2005 terminating the management agreement.
Corporate Office Lease
NPDC continues to occupy a portion of corporate office space leased by the
Company. NPDC compensates the Company approximately $205,000 annually for
use of this space. The Company's lease extends through December 31, 2006.

(Unaudited)
Management Services Agreement Between GSE and the Company
Pursuant to a management services agreement, the Company provides corporate
support services to GSE, including accounting, finance, human resources,
legal, network support and tax. GSE pays the Company an annual fee of
$685,000 for these services. The management services agreement can be
renewed by GSE for successive one-year terms and was renewed through
December 31, 2005. Subsequent to the spin-off of GSE effective September
30, 2005, the Company will continue to provide GSE with these corporate
support services through the term of the agreement.
(11) COMMITMENTS
In April 2005, General Physics entered into employment agreements with
certain of its officers, resulting in committed compensation of
approximately $2.0 million annually. These agreements have employment terms
expiring in 2007, provide for grants of restricted stock units pursuant to
the Company's 2003 Incentive Stock Plan, and contain non-compete covenants
and change of control and termination provisions.
(12) ACCOUNTING STANDARDSSTANDARD ISSUED
In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123 - Revised, Share-Based
Payment (SFAS No. 123R),
"Share-Based Payment", which revises SFAS No. 123, "AccountingAccounting for
Stock-Based Compensation",Compensation, and supersedes APB No. 25, "AccountingAccounting for Stock
Issued to Employees." Currently, the Company does not record compensation
expense for certain stock-based compensation. Under SFAS No. 123R, the
Company will measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for
stock, based on the grant-date fair value (with limited exceptions) of the
stock award. Such cost will be recognized over the period during which the
employee is required to provide service in exchange for the stock award
(usually the vesting period). The fair value of the stock award will be
estimated using an option-pricing model, with excess tax benefits, as
defined in SFAS No. 123R, being recognized as an addition to paid in
capital. SFAS No. 123R was to be effective as of July 1, 2005. However,
based on April 14, 2005,Final Rule 74 issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission announced thatin
April 2005, which delayed the effective dateimplementation of SFAS No. 123R, the Company
plans to adopt SFAS No. 123R effective January 1, 2006. The Company expects
to adopt SFAS No. 123R using the Modified Prospective Application method
without restatement of prior periods. Under this method, the Company will
begin to amortize compensation cost for the remaining portion of its
outstanding awards on the adoption date for which the requisite service has
not yet been rendered. Compensation cost for these awards will be postponed until January 1, 2006,based on
the fair value of the awards as disclosed on a pro forma basis under SFAS
123 in Note 3, Stock Based Compensation. The Company will account for
calendar year companies.awards that are granted, modified, or settled after the adoption date in
accordance with SFAS No. 123R. The Company is currently in the process of
evaluating the impact of SFAS No. 123R on its consolidated financial
statements.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
General Overview
GP Strategies Corporation ("As of September 30, 2005, the Company")Company's business consists of its training and
workforce development business operated by General Physics Corporation ("General
Physics" or "GP") and its simulation business operated by GSE Systems Inc. ("GSE").
The Company's primary operating entity is General Physics is a global workforce development company
that improvesseeks to improve the effectiveness of organizations by providing training,
management consulting, e-Learning solutions and engineering services that are
customized to meet the specific needs of clients.
Clients
include Fortune 500 companies, manufacturing, process and energy companies and
other commercial and governmental customers.On September 30, 2005, the Company completed a taxable spin-off of its 57%
interest in GSE Systems Inc. ("GSE") through a dividend to the Company's
stockholders. GSE is a leader in real-time high fidelity simulation technology and model
development andstand alone public company which provides simulation
solutions and services to energy, process and manufacturing industries
worldwide. On September 30, 2005, stockholders received in the power
generation industry,spin-off 0.283075
shares of GSE common stock for each share of the process industries,Company's common stock or Class
B stock held on the record date of September 19, 2005. Following the spin-off,
the Company ceased to have any ownership interest in GSE and the U.S. Government. In
addition,operations of
GSE have been reclassified as discontinued in the Company's condensed
consolidated statements of operations for all periods presented. The Company
currently provides plant monitoringcorporate support services to GSE, including accounting,
finance, human resources, legal, network support and signal analysis monitoringtax, pursuant to a
management services agreement which has been extended through December 31, 2005.
As of September 30, 2005, GSE had borrowings of $1,182,000 and optimization softwarea letter of
credit for $10,000 under General Physics' Credit Agreement, under which
$1,500,000 was allocated for use by GSE. The Company guarantees GSE's borrowings
under the Credit Agreement through August 13, 2006.
During the second quarter of 2005, the Company re-evaluated its reportable
business segments under SFAS No. 131, Disclosures about Segments of an
Enterprise and Related Information, as a result of Scott N. Greenberg's
appointment as CEO of the Company on April 26, 2005. Based on the information
which Mr. Greenberg reviews in order to assess the performance of the Company
and make decisions regarding the allocation of resources, the Company determined
that General Physics consists of two reportable business segments effective with
Mr. Greenberg's appointment as CEO: 1) Process, Energy & Government; and 2)
Manufacturing & Business Process Outsourcing (BPO). GSE ceases to be a
reportable business segment as a result of the spin-off effective September 30,
2005. As a result of the change in the Company's reportable business segments,
all prior period information presented herein has been restated to conform to
the current period's presentation.
The Process, Energy & Government segment provides engineering consulting, design
and evaluation services regarding facilities, the environment, processes and
systems, staff augmentation, curriculum design and development, and training and
technical services primarily to federal and state governmental agencies, large
government contractors, petroleum and chemical refining companies, and electric
power utilities.
The Manufacturing & BPO segment provides training, curriculum design and
development, staff augmentation, system hosting, integration and help desk
support, business process outsourcing, and consulting and technical services to
large companies in the power industry,automotive, pharmaceutical, electronics, and develops specialized
software applications for emerging technologies.
Priorother
industries as well as to governmental clients.
On November 24, 2004, the Company had five operating business segments:
Manufacturing & Process, Information Technology, Simulation, Optical Plastics
and Home Improvement Distribution. On November 24, 2004, we completed the distribution, which we refer to as the "spin-off," of the common stocktax-free spin-off of National
Patent Development Corporation ("NPDC"), which comprised our Optical
Plastics and Home Improvement Distribution segments and certain other non-core
assets. We reorganized the Manufacturing & Process and Information Technology
segments into the General Physics segment. Effective with. Subsequent to the spin-off, the results
of operations of NPDC were reclassifiedare presented as discontinued operations for the three and
nine months ended March 31,September 30, 2004.
In the first quarter of 2005, GSE incurred significant operating losses. GSE's
profitabilityGeneral Physics' backlog for services under signed contracts and revenue were primarily impacted by a lower volume of orders
logged. Accordingly, GSE's cash position weakened during the quarter, with total
cash decreasing from $848,000subcontracts
was approximately $89.0 million as of December 31, 2004 to $94,000 as of March 31,September 30, 2005.
GSE has utilized $700,000 of its $1.5 million credit facility as of March
31, 2005 and expects to increase the utilization in the second quarter of 2005.
Approximately $800,000 was available to be borrowed under the Credit Agreement
as of March 31, 2005. The Company has classified the borrowings outstanding
under the Credit Agreement as a current obligation.

segment income of $1,469,000 principally by$797,000 for General Physics,Physics' two business segments, as well as
reduced corporate general and administrative expenses at the corporate levellevel. Government
revenue accounted for approximately 41% and 59% of $421,000. These
improvements were offset by a reduction inGeneral Physics' revenue for

decrease in revenue from certain contracts, primarily for hurricane recovery
services provided to the State of Florida totaling $2.2 million during the third
quarter of 2004 which did not recur in 2005.
Manufacturing & BPO segment revenue decreased $905,000 or 3.9% during the third
quarter of 2005 compared to the same period of 2004. The decrease in revenue is
primarily due to a change in contract scopes with a business process outsourcing
customer during the third quarter of 2005. This net decrease was partially
offset by increases in business process outsourcing services provided to several
existing customers, increased system implementation and hosting services
primarily to the federal government, and increases in other professional
development and training courses provided to customers in the manufacturing
industry. The Company continues to expand the scope of services it providesprovided to many of its
business process and training outsource customers.

gross profit of approximately $3.9 million or 18.4% of revenue for the same
period of 2004. This increase in gross profit was primarily driven by an
increase in revenue for training services provided to our government and energy
customers. The increase in gross profit as a percentage of revenue is primarily
due to a decrease in overhead expenses as a percentage of revenue as our
infrastructure costs have not increased at the same rate as our contract revenue
growth, excluding the decrease in revenue from the non-recurring hurricane
recovery services in 2004 as discussed above.
Manufacturing & BPO gross profit of $2.6 million or 11.8% of revenue for the
third quarter of 2005 increased by $1.1 million or 66.2% when compared to gross
profit of approximately $1.6 million or 6.8% of revenue for the same period of
2004. The increase is primarily due to decreased overhead expenses as a
percentage of revenue as our infrastructure costs have not increased at the same
rate as our contract revenue growth for business process outsourcing and
training outsourcing services, excluding the decrease in revenue from the change
in contract scopes with a business process outsourcing customer in the third
quarter of 2005 as discussed above.
Selling, General and Administrative Expense
SG&A expenses increased $0.3 million from $3.8 million for the third quarter of
2004 to $4.1 million for the third quarter of 2005. This net increase is
primarily related to higher legal fees associated with the EDS litigation
incurred during the third quarter of 2005. These increases were partially offset
by a decrease in corporate SG&A expenses primarily due to the spin-off of NPDC
in November 2004, which were not allocable to discontinued operations.
Interest Expense
Interest expense decreased $0.1 million from $0.5 million for the third quarter
of 2004 to $0.4 million for the third quarter of 2005. The decrease was
primarily attributable to General Physics' payoff of its short term borrowings
in January 2005.
Other Income
Other income was $0.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2005 and
2004, respectively.
Income Taxes
Income tax expense was $0.9 million for the third quarter of 2005 compared to
$0.5 million for the third quarter of 2004. The Company's effective tax rate was
37.3% and 47.6% for the third quarter of 2005 and 2004, respectively. The
increase is primarily due to increased income from continuing operations during
the third quarter of 2005.

$1,618,000 for the same period in 2004. The improved results were primarily due
to increased operating income of $3,576,000 for General Physics' two business
segments, as well as reduced general and administrative expenses at the
corporate level. Government revenue accounted for approximately 40% and 38% of

March 31, 2005 primarily relates to an increase in business development and
other SG&A cost of $0.5 million at GSE and an increase in SG&A at General
Physics of $0.1 million. Corporate SG&A expenses were reduced for the three
months ended March 31, 2005 by approximately $0.6 million due to the spin off of
NPDC. The corporate reduction was offset by a $0.4 increase in the compensation
expense relating to certain stock options to purchase stock of prior affiliates
accounted for using the fair value method and $0.2 million of legal expenses
related to the EDS litigation that were incurred this period.
Interest Expense
The decrease in interest expense of $0.2 million from $0.6 million for the three

As of March 31,September 30, 2005, the Company had cash and cash equivalents totaling
$5.4$10.5 million. The Company believes that cash generated from operations and
borrowing availability under theits Credit Agreement (described below), will be
sufficient to fund the working capital and other requirements of the Company for
the foreseeable future.

During the quarternine months ended March 31,September 30, 2005, the Company's working capital
increased by $1.3$6.5 million from $20.6 million at December 31, 2004 to $21.9 million.$27.1

The Company's cash balance increased $8.1 million from $2.4 million at December
31, 2004 to $10.5 million at September 30, 2005. The increase in cash and cash
equivalents of $3.1 million forduring the threenine months ended March 31,September 30, 2005 resulted from cash
provided by operating activities of $11.8 million, offset by cash used by
investing activities of $0.4$0.8 million, and cash used by financing activities of $4.9 million; offset by cash
provided by operations of $8.0$2.8
million, and thea negative effect of exchange rate changes on cash of $0.3approximately
$0.1 million.
NetCash Flows from Operating Activities
Cash provided by operating activities was $11.8 million for the nine months
ended September 30, 2005 compared to cash used in operating activities of $0.8
million for the same period of 2004. The increase in cash compared to the prior
period is primarily due to $1.8 million higher net income in 2005 compared to
2004, proceeds from the EDS lawsuit arbitration of $13.8 million in 2005, and
increased non-cash compensation expense of $0.8 million in 2005 compared to
2004. These increases in cash flows from operating activities were offset by a
decrease in changes in other operating items by approximately $4.0 million,
primarily due to a decrease in accrued expenses related to the payout of $5
million of the EDS arbitration proceeds to NPDC in 2005 which were accrued for
in 2004. This decrease in changes in other operating items was partially offset
by favorable changes in working capital.
Cash Flows from Investing Activities
Cash used by investing activities was $0.8 million for the nine months ended
September 30, 2005 compared to cash used by investing activities of $0.4$0.3 million
relatesfor the same period of 2004. The increase in cash used by investing activities
is primarily due to proceeds from the sale of marketable securities of
approximately $1.0 million in 2004 that did not recur in 2005. This increase in
cash used by investing activities was offset by a decrease in capital
expenditures. Netexpenditures for property, plant and equipment of approximately $0.5 million

Cash Flows from Financing Activities
Cash used by financing activities was $2.8 million for the nine months ended
September 30, 2005 compared to cash provided by financing activities of $0.5
million for the same period of 2004. The increase in cash used by financing
activities is primarily due to the repayment by General Physics of $4.9

connection with GSE's issuance of a subordinated convertible note prior to the
Company's spin-off of GSE, compared to repayments of long-term debt by the
Company of $0.7 million depreciation and amortization, $0.1in 2004. Additionally, cash proceeds from the exercise

NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDSSTANDARD
In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123 - Revised (SFAS No. 123R),
"Share-Based Payment",Share-Based Payment, which revises SFAS No. 123, "AccountingAccounting for Stock-Based
Compensation",Compensation, and supersedes APB No. 25, "AccountingAccounting for Stock Issued to
Employees." Currently, the Company does not record compensation expense for
certain stock-based compensation. Under SFAS No. 123R, the Company will measure
the cost of employee services received in exchange for stock, based on the
grant-date fair value (with limited exceptions) of the stock award. Such cost
will be recognized over the period during which the employee is required to
provide service in exchange for the stock award (usually the vesting period).
The fair value of the stock award will be estimated using an option-pricing
model, with excess tax benefits, as defined in SFAS No. 123R, being recognized
as an addition to paid in capital. SFAS No. 123R was to be effective as of July
1, 2005. However, based on April 14, 2005,Final Rule 74 issued by the Securities and Exchange
Commission announced thatin April 2005, which delayed the effective dateimplementation of SFAS No. 123R, the
Company plans to adopt SFAS No. 123R effective January 1, 2006. The Company
expects to adopt SFAS No. 123R using the Modified Prospective Application method
without restatement of prior periods. Under this method, the Company will begin
to amortize compensation cost for the remaining portion of its outstanding
24
awards on the adoption date for which the requisite service has not yet been
rendered. Compensation cost for these awards will be postponed until January
1, 2006,based on the fair value of
those awards as disclosed on a pro-forma basis under SFAS 123 in Note 3, Stock
Based Compensation. The Company will account for calendar year companies.awards that are granted,
modified, or settled after the adoption date in accordance with SFAS No. 123R.
The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the impact of SFAS No.
123R on its consolidated financial statements.
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
The forward-looking statements contained herein reflect GP Strategies'
management's current views with respect to future events and financial
performance. We use words such as "expects", "intends" and "anticipates" to
indicate forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are
subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to
differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements, all of which are
difficult to predict and many of which are beyond the control of GP Strategies,
including, but not limited to, our inability to generate funds by selling any
assets that were included in the spin-off, the ability of GSE to secure
additional financing, our holding company structure, failure to
continue to attract and retain personnel, loss of business from significant
customers, failure to keep pace with technology, changing economic conditions,
competition, our ability to implement procedures that will reduce the likelihood
that material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting will not
occur in the future, and those other risks and uncertainties detailed in GP
Strategies' periodic reports and registration statements filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission.
If any one or more of these expectations and assumptions proves incorrect,
actual results will likely differ materially from those contemplated by the
forward-looking statements. Even if all of the foregoing assumptions and
expectations prove correct, actual results may still differ materially from
those expressed in the forward-looking statements as a result of factors we may
not anticipate or that may be beyond our control. While we cannot assess the
future impact that any of these differences could have on our business,
financial condition, results of operations and cash flows or the market price of
shares of our common stock, the differences could be significant. We do not
undertake to update any forward-looking statements made by us.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK
The Company has no material changes to the disclosure on this matter made in its
report on Form 10-K/A for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2004.
GSE's most significant market risk is changes in foreign currency exchange
rates. GSE's exposure to foreign exchange rate fluctuations arises in part from
inter-company accounts in which costs incurred in one entity are charged to
other entities in different foreign jurisdictions. GSE is also exposed to
foreign exchange rate fluctuations as the financial results of all foreign
subsidiaries are translated into U.S. dollars in consolidation. As exchange
rates vary, those results when translated may vary from expectations and
adversely impact overall expected profitability.
GSE utilizes various derivative financial instruments to manage market risks
associated with the fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. It is GSE's
policy to use derivative financial instruments to protect against market risk
arising in the normal course of business. GSE monitors its foreign currency
exposures to maximize the overall effectiveness of its foreign currency
positions. GSE's objectives for holding derivatives are to minimize the risks
using the most effective methods to reduce the impact of these exposures. GSE
minimizes credit exposure by limiting counterparties to nationally recognized
financial institutions. As of March 31, 2005, GSE had foreign currency contracts
for sale of $3.6 million Japanese Yen at fixed rates. The contracts expire at
various dates through May 2007. The Company has not designated the contracts as
hedges, and accordingly, has recorded the fair value of approximately $0.2
million of these contracts in the consolidated balance sheet.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
We carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation
of our management including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial
Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure
controls and procedures pursuant to Rule 13-15(b) of the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934, as amended. Based upon that evaluation and the material weaknesses
described below, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer
concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were not
effective as of the date covered by this report.
As discussed more fully in Item 9A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K/A-2 dated
April 29, 2005, for the year ended December 31, 2004, in connection with our
audit of our consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended
December 31, 2004, we determined that the Company's policies and procedures did
not provide for adequate management oversight and review of the Company's income
tax accounting. This lack of adequate management oversight and review of the
Company's income tax accounting resulted in material errors in the Company's
income tax provision, which were identified and corrected prior to the issuance
of the accompanying 2004 consolidated financial statements.statements for the year ended December 31, 2004.
This deficiency represents more than a remote likelihood that a material
misstatement of the Company's annual or interim financial statements would not
have been prevented or detected.
The Company's policies and procedures did not provide for adequate management
oversight and review of the Company's consolidated financial statements and
footnote disclosures. In addition, the Company did not have adequate technical
resources to ensure the timely completion and review of its consolidated
financial statements and footnote disclosures. These deficiencies resulted in
material errors in the consolidated financial statements, primarily the number
of weighted average common shares outstanding used in the earnings per share
calculation, the presentation of cash flows from operating and financing
activities, and certain financial statement footnote disclosures related to
income taxes and stock-based compensation, which were identified and corrected
prior to the issuance of the accompanying 2004 consolidated financial statements. These
deficiencies represent more
21
than a remote likelihood that a material
misstatement of the Company's annual or interim financial statements would not
have been prevented or detected.
Based on the material weaknesses described above, management concluded that the
Company's internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of
December 31, 2004. This assessment is based on management's conclusion that as
of December 31, 2004, there was more than a remote likelihood that a material
misstatement of the Company's annual or interim financial statements would not
be prevented or detected on a timely basis by Company employees in the normal
course of performing their assigned functions.
As a result, we implemented changes in certain of our internal controls over
financial reporting during the fiscal quarternine months ended March 31,September 30, 2005, as follows:
- The Company has, subsequent to December 31, 2004, revised its
processes and procedures to prepare the consolidated income tax
provision and the consolidated financial statements and footnote
disclosures, and implemented additional management review controls
over the related processes.
- The Company hired a Director of Financial Reporting who is in the process of hiring an additional technical
resource to dedicatededicated
to the Company's financial reporting requirements.
26
We will continue to evaluate the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and
procedures and our internal controls over financial reporting on an ongoing
basis, and will take further action as appropriate. However, there can be no
assurance that our controls and procedures will prevent or detect material
misstatement of the Company's annual or interim financial statements.
