NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1: BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Electronic Data Systems Corporation ("EDS" or the "Company") have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") for interim financial information. In the opinion of management, all material adjustments, which are of a normal recurring nature and necessary for a fair presentation, have been included. The results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for any other interim period or for the full year. The information contained herein should be read in conjunction with the Company's Annual Report on Form 10‑K for the year ended December 31, 2006.
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of EDS and its controlled subsidiaries. The Company defines control as a non-shared, non-temporary ability to make decisions that enable it to guide the ongoing activities of a subsidiary and the ability to use that power to increase the benefits or limit the losses from the activities of that subsidiary. Subsidiaries in which other shareholders effectively participate in significant operating decisions through voting or contractual rights are not considered controlled subsidiaries. The Company's investments in entities it does not control, but in which it has the ability to exercise significant influence over operating and financial policies, are accounted for under the equity method. Under such method, the Company recognizes its share of the subsidiaries' income (loss) in other income (expense). If EDS is the primary beneficiary of variable interest entities, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of such entities. No variable interest entities were consolidated during the periods presented.
The preparation of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States requires management to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Because of the use of estimates inherent in the financial reporting process, actual results could differ from those estimates. Areas in which significant judgments and estimates are used include, but are not limited to, cost estimation for Construct Service elements, projected cash flows associated with recoverability of deferred contract costs, contract concessions and long-lived assets, liabilities associated with pensions, performance guarantees and uncertain tax positions, recoverability of deferred tax assets, receivables collectibility, and loss accruals for litigation, exclusive of legal fees which are expensed as services are received. It is reasonably possible that events and circumstances could occur in the near term that would cause such estimates to change in a manner that would be material to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
NOTE 2: EARNINGS PER SHARE
The weighted-average number of shares outstanding used to compute basic and diluted earnings per share are as follows for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006 (in millions):
| | 2007 | 2006 |
| For the three months ended June 30: | | |
| Basic earnings per share | 510 | 518 |
| Diluted earnings per share | 541 | 528 |
| For the six months ended June 30: | | |
| Basic earnings per share | 512 | 520 |
| Diluted earnings per share | 543 | 531 |
| | | |
The Company has contingently convertible debt that is excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share when the result is antidilutive. If the result is dilutive, net income and weighted-average shares outstanding are adjusted as if conversion took place on the first day of the reporting period. The effect of this debt was dilutive for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007. Accordingly, approximately $5 million of tax-effected interest was added to income from continuing operations and net income and 20 million shares were added to weighted-average shares outstanding in the computation of diluted earnings per share for the three months ended June 30, 2007. Approximately $9 million of tax-effected interest was added to income from continuing operations and net income and 20 million shares were added to weighted-average shares outstanding in the computation of diluted earnings per share for the six months ended June 30, 2007.
5
Securities that were outstanding but were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because their effect was antidilutive are as follows for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006 (in millions):
| | 2007 | 2006 |
| For the three months ended June 30: | | |
| Common stock options and warrants | 12 | 15 |
| Convertible debt | - | 20 |
| For the six months ended June 30: | | |
| Common stock options and warrants | 12 | 15 |
| Convertible debt | - | 20 |
NOTE 3: PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT
Property and equipment is stated net of accumulated depreciation of $4.6 billion and $4.4 billion at June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively. Depreciation expense for the three months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006 was $192 million and $189 million, respectively. Depreciation expense for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006 was $373 million and $367 million, respectively.
NOTE 4: DEFERRED CONTRACT COSTS
At June 30, 2007, the Company had net deferred contract and set-up costs of $930 million, of which approximately $548 million related to contracts with active construct activities. The Company normally has between 20 to 25 active construct contracts with deferred costs in excess of $1 million. Some of the Company's client contracts require significant investment in the early stages which is expected to be recovered through billings over the life of the respective contracts. These contracts often involve the construction of new computer systems and communications networks and the development and deployment of new technologies. Substantial performance risk exists in each contract with these characteristics, and some or all elements of service delivery under these contracts are dependent upon successful completion of the development, construction and deployment phases. Some of these contracts have experienced delays in their development and construction phases, and certain milestones have been missed. It is reasonably possible that deferred costs associated with one or more of these contracts could become impaired due to changes in estimates of future contract cash flows.
NOTE 5: INVESTMENTS AND OTHER ASSETS
The Company holds interests in various equipment leases financed with non-recourse borrowings at lease inception accounted for as leveraged leases. The Company also holds an equity interest in a partnership which holds leveraged aircraft lease investments. The Company accounts for its interest in the partnership under the equity method. The carrying amount of the Company's remaining equity interest in the partnership was $28 million at both June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006. The Company's ability to recover its remaining investment in the partnership is dependent upon the continued payment of rentals by the lessees and the realization of expected future aircraft values. In the event such lessees are relieved from their obligation to pay such rentals as a result of bankruptcy, the investment in the partnership would be partially or wholly impaired.
Investments in equipment for lease is comprised of equipment to be leased to clients under long-term IT contracts and net investment in leased equipment associated with such contracts. On March 24, 2006, the Company and the Department of the Navy reached an agreement on the modification of the Navy Marine Corps Intranet ("NMCI") contract which, among other things, extended the contract term from 2007 to 2010 and defined the economic lives of certain desktop and infrastructure assets. As a result of the contract modification which changed lease payment terms, the Company recognized sales-type capital lease revenue of $116 million in the three months ended March 31, 2006 associated with certain assets previously accounted for as operating leases, and certain assets previously accounted for as capital leases with an aggregate net investment balance of $113 million are now being accounted for as operating leases. The net investment in leased equipment associated with the NMCI contract was $305 million and $295 million at June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively. Future minimum lease payments to be received under the NMCI contract were $320 million and $314 million at June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively. The unguaranteed residual values accruing to the Company were $10 million and $3 million, and unearned interest income related to these leases was $25 million and $22 million at June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively. The net lease receivable balance is classified as components of prepaids and other and investments and other assets in the consolidated balance sheets. Future minimum lease payments to be received were as follows: 2007 - $97 million; 2008 - $136 million; 2009 - $66 million; 2010 - $21 million.

NOTE 6: COMPREHENSIVE INCOME (LOSS) AND SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY
Comprehensive income was $285 million and $252 million for the three months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Comprehensive income was $483 million and $314 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. The difference between comprehensive income and net income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006 resulted primarily from foreign currency translation adjustments. During the six months ended June 30, 2006, cumulative translation adjustments of approximately $21 million were transferred from accumulated other comprehensive loss to net income due to the divestiture of A.T. Kearney (see Note 13).
In April 2007, the Company completed the $1 billion share repurchase program announced in February 2006. The Company purchased an aggregate of 37.6 million shares of common stock at a cost of $1 billion (excluding transaction costs) under this program.
In connection with its employee stock incentive plans, the Company issued 7.9 million shares of treasury stock at a cost of $216 million during the six months ended June 30, 2007. The difference between the cost and fair value at the date of issuance of such shares has been recognized as a charge to retained earnings of $59 million during the six months ended June 30, 2007.
NOTE 7: STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
Stock Options
During March 2007 and 2006, the Company issued options to purchase approximately 2.3 million and 1.6 million shares, respectively, of common stock with fair values of $8.43 and $8.84, respectively, per option. Options issued during March 2007 and 2006 are scheduled to vest in February 2010 and 2009, respectively. Total compensation expense for stock options was $15 million ($10 million net of tax) and $22 million ($15 million net of tax), respectively, for the three months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006. Total compensation expense for stock options was $21 million ($15 million net of tax) and $79 million ($53 million net of tax), respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006. Total compensation expense for stock options for the six months ended June 30, 2006 includes $16 million ($10 million net of tax) reported in loss from discontinued operations.
Certain stock option grants contain market conditions that accelerate vesting if the Company's stock reaches certain target prices. During the second quarter of 2007, approximately 3.3 million outstanding stock options became exercisable when the Company's stock reached certain target prices, accelerating the recognition of compensation expense of approximately $8 million. During the first quarter of 2006, approximately 7.6 million outstanding stock options became exercisable when the Company's stock reached certain target prices, accelerating the recognition of compensation expense of approximately $25 million.
As of June 30, 2007, options to purchase 29.2 million shares of common stock were outstanding with a weighted-average exercise price of $29 per share, of which options to purchase 22.7 million shares were exercisable with a weighted-average exercise price of $29 per share. At December 31, 2006, options to purchase 35.0 million shares of common stock were outstanding with a weighted-average exercise price of $28 per share, of which 23.0 million shares were exercisable with a weighted-average exercise price of $30 per share.
The Company receives a tax deduction equal to the intrinsic value of a stock option on the date of exercise. Cash retained as a result of this tax deductibility is reported as other cash flows from financing activities in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of cash flows.
The Company plans to utilize treasury shares acquired under the repurchase program authorized in February 2006 (see Note 6) to satisfy future share option exercises and the vesting of restricted stock awards. The Company utilized treasury shares and newly issued shares to satisfy share option exercises and the vesting of restricted stock awards prior to the February 2006 authorization.
Restricted Stock Units
The Company grants time-vesting and performance-based restricted stock units to certain employees. The number of performance-based restricted stock units that will vest is dependent upon the Company's achievement of certain financial performance metrics over a three-year performance period and the employee's continued employment. The Company estimates the number of units that will vest based on the Company's financial performance since inception of the performance period and current expectations of the Company's future financial performance over the remainder of the performance period. Compensation expense for units is recorded on a straight-line basis over the vesting period. Cumulative compensation expense for each grant is adjusted in the period in which there is a change in the estimated number of units that will vest.
7
During March 2007 and 2006, the Company issued approximately 8.2 million and 5.9 million restricted stock units, respectively, with weighted-average fair values of $25.51 and $25.45, respectively, per unit. Regularly scheduled vesting will occur in February 2010 and 2009, respectively, for restricted stock units issued during March 2007 and 2006. Total compensation expense for restricted stock units was $36 million ($23 million net of tax) and $26 million ($17 million net of tax), respectively, for the three months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006. Total compensation expense for restricted stock units was $61 million ($40 million net of tax) and $45 million ($32 million net of tax), respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006. Total compensation expense for restricted stock units for the six months ended June 30, 2006 includes $4 million ($3 million net of tax) reported in loss from discontinued operations.
A.T. Kearney
As a result of the divestiture of A.T. Kearney in January 2006 (see Note 13), vesting was accelerated for options to purchase 2.1 million shares of common stock and 0.3 million restricted stock units, and unvested options to purchase 0.2 million shares were forfeited. This accelerated vesting resulted in the recognition of pre-tax compensation cost of approximately $20 million which is reported as loss from discontinued operations during the six months ended June 30, 2006. All vested options held by A.T. Kearney employees were exercised or forfeited within ninety days of the divestiture.
NOTE 8: SEGMENT INFORMATION
The Company uses operating income (loss) to measure segment profit or loss. Segment information for non-U.S. operations is measured using fixed currency exchange rates in all periods presented. The Company adjusts its fixed currency exchange rates if and when the statutory rate differs significantly from the fixed rate to better align the two rates. Prior period segment information presented below has been restated to reflect a change in the fixed exchange rates of certain non-U.S. currencies and other segment attribute changes in 2007. The "all other" category is primarily comprised of corporate expenses, including stock-based compensation, and also includes differences between fixed and actual exchange rates. Operating segments that have similar economic and other characteristics have been aggregated to form the Company's reportable segments.
Following is a summary of certain financial information by reportable segment as of and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006 (in millions):
| | Three Months Ended June 30, |

NOTE 9: RETIREMENT PLANS
The Company has several qualified and nonqualified pension plans (the "Plans") covering substantially all its employees. The majority of the Plans are noncontributory. In general, employees become fully vested upon attaining two to five years of service, and benefits are based on years of service and earnings. The actuarial cost method currently used is the projected unit credit cost method. The Company's U.S. funding policy is to contribute amounts that fall within the range of deductible contributions for U.S. federal income tax purposes. The Company expects to contribute approximately $135 million to its pension plans during fiscal year 2007, including discretionary and statutory contributions, of which $67 million has been contributed during the six months ended June 30, 2007.
Following is a summary of the components of net periodic pension cost recognized in earnings for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006 (in millions):

NOTE 10: TAXES
The Company's effective income tax rates on income from continuing operations were 28.7% and 15.5% for the three months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. The Company's effective income tax rates on income from continuing operations were 32.8% and 23.2% for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. The effective tax rate in the second quarter of 2007 was impacted by the recently enacted Texas tax legislation which will permit the recovery of $13 million of deferred tax assets that were written off in the second quarter of 2006. The 2006 second quarter tax rate included the impact of the original enactment of the new Texas tax system which required a write off of $16 million of deferred tax assets and favorable changes to the liabilities for tax contingencies of $46 million. The tax rates in the first half of 2006 were also impacted by the expiration of the U.S. research and development credit, the extension of which was not enacted until fourth quarter 2006.
The Company adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. ("FIN") 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes - an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109, effective January 1, 2007. FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an entity's financial statements in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes, and prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for financial statement disclosure of tax positions taken or expected to be taken on a tax return. As a result of the implementation of FIN 48, the Company recognized an increase of $2 million in net unrecognized tax benefits, which was accounted for as a decrease of $17 million to the January 1, 2007 balance of retained earnings and a decrease of $15 million to the balance of goodwill. In addition, reclassifications in balance sheet accounts as required by FIN 48 resulted in a decrease in deferred tax assets of $57 million and a decrease in other long term liabilities of $57 million. As of the date of adoption, the Company's gross unrecognized tax benefits totaled $127 million. Of this amount, $82 million represents the net unrecognized tax benefits that, if recognized, would favorably impact the effective income tax rate. In addition, $18 million is accrued for the payment of interest and penalties related to income tax liabilities. The Company recognizes potential interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense.
The Company files numerous income tax returns in various jurisdictions including U.S. Federal, state and foreign jurisdictions. The Company is subject to U.S. Federal income tax examinations for years after 2002 and is subject to income tax examinations by UK tax authorities for years after 2003.
Unrecognized tax benefits and related interest in non-US jurisdictions decreased by $15 million in the first half and are anticipated to decrease by an additional $8 million during the second half of 2007. These reductions are due to statute of limitation expirations related to the deduction of expenses where the documentation supporting the deductions did not meet the statutory requirements. The Company also anticipates settling approximately $29 million of liabilities during 2007, primarily related to various U.S. tax returns, at amounts that are not
9
significantly different from the amounts currently accrued. In addition, due to the ongoing nature of current examinations in various jurisdictions, other changes could occur in the amount of gross unrecognized tax benefits during the next twelve months which cannot be estimated at this time.
The Company accounts for taxes directly imposed on revenue-producing transactions by governmental authorities on a net basis (excluded from revenues).
NOTE 11: COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
In connection with certain service contracts, the Company may arrange a client supported financing transaction ("CSFT") with a client and an independent third-party financial institution or its designee. Under CSFT arrangements, the financial institution finances the purchase of certain IT-related assets and simultaneously leases those assets for use in connection with the service contract. As of June 30, 2007, an aggregate of $82 million was outstanding under CSFTs yet to be paid by the Company's clients. The Company believes it is in compliance with performance obligations under all service contracts for which there is a related CSFT and the ultimate liability, if any, incurred in connection with such financings will not have a material adverse affect on its consolidated results of operations or financial position.
In the normal course of business, the Company may provide certain clients, principally governmental entities, with financial performance guarantees, which are generally backed by standby letters of credit or surety bonds. In general, the Company would only be liable for the amounts of these guarantees in the event that nonperformance by the Company permits termination of the related contract by the Company's client, which the Company believes is remote. At June 30, 2007, the Company had $593 million of outstanding standby letters of credit and surety bonds relating to these performance guarantees. The Company believes it is in compliance with its performance obligations under all service contracts for which there is a financial performance guarantee, and the ultimate liability, if any, incurred in connection with these guarantees will not have a material adverse affect on its consolidated results of operations or financial position. In addition, the Company had $14 million of other financial guarantees outstanding at June 30, 2007 relating to indebtedness of others.
Pending Litigation and Proceedings
The Company and certain of its former officers are defendants in numerous shareholder class action suits filed from September through December 2002 in response to its September 18, 2002 earnings pre-announcement, publicity about certain equity hedging transactions that it had entered into, and the drop in the price of EDS common stock. The cases allege violations of various federal securities laws and common law fraud based upon purported misstatements or omissions of material facts regarding the Company's financial condition. In addition, five class action suits were filed on behalf of participants in the EDS 401(k) Plan against the Company, certain of its current and former officers and, in some cases, its directors, alleging the defendants breached their fiduciary duties under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act ("ERISA") and made misrepresentations to the class regarding the value of EDS shares. All of the foregoing cases have been centralized in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas (the "District Court"). In addition, representatives of two committees responsible for administering the EDS 401(k) Plan notified the Company of their demand for payment of amounts they believe are owing to plan participants under Section 12(a)(1) of the Securities Act of 1933 (the "Securities Act") as a result of an alleged failure to register certain shares of EDS common stock sold pursuant to the plan during a period of approximately one year ending on November 18, 2002.
On July 7, 2003, the lead plaintiff in the consolidated securities action and the lead plaintiffs in the consolidated ERISA action each filed a consolidated class action complaint. The amended consolidated complaint in the securities action alleges violations of Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act"), Rule 10b‑5 thereunder and Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act. The plaintiffs allege that the Company and certain of its former officers made false and misleading statements about the financial condition of EDS, particularly with respect to the NMCI contract and the accounting for that contract. The consolidated complaint in the ERISA action alleges violation of fiduciary duties under ERISA by some or all of the defendants and violation of Section 12(a)(1) of the Securities Act by selling unregistered EDS shares to plan participants. The defendants in the ERISA claims are EDS, certain current and former officers of EDS, members of the Compensation and Benefits Committee of its Board of Directors, and certain current and former members of the two committees responsible for administering the plan.
On November 1, 2005, the Company entered into a memorandum of understanding with the lead plaintiff and class representative to settle the consolidated securities action, subject to final approval of the settlement by the District Court. The District Court approved that settlement on March 7, 2006. The terms of the settlement provide for a cash payment of $137.5 million, substantially all of which was paid during the first quarter of 2006. The amount paid by the Company aggregated $77.5 million, with the remainder paid by its insurers (in addition to amounts paid by such insurers in respect of legal fees related to this action). The Company recorded incremental reserves of $24 million in 2005 in connection with this settlement. The remaining cost of the settlement was recognized in the Company's financial statements prior to 2004. Two
10
appeals have been filed with respect to the District Court's approval of this settlement. One appeal challenges the amount of attorneys fees awarded to the counsel for plaintiffs. That appeal was dismissed on June 15, 2007. The other appeal challenges the approval of the settlement on the grounds that there is a subclass who receives no economic benefit, the release is overbroad, and the claims form was overly burdensome.
On November 8, 2004, the District Court certified a class in the ERISA action on certain of the allegations of breach of fiduciary duty, of all participants in the EDS 401(k) Plan and their beneficiaries, excluding the defendants, for whose accounts the plan made or maintained investments in EDS stock through the EDS Stock Fund between September 7, 1999 and October 9, 2002. Also on that date the court certified a class in the ERISA action on the allegations of violation of Section 12(a)(1) of the Securities Act of all participants in the Plan and their beneficiaries, excluding the defendants, for whose accounts the Plan purchased EDS stock through the EDS Stock Fund between October 20, 2001 and November 18, 2002. On December 29, 2004, the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeal granted the Company's petition to appeal the class certification order from the District Court, and oral arguments were heard on the appeal on April 5, 2005. On January 18, 2007, the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeal issued its decision vacating the district court's class certification decision and remanding the matter to the district court to re-evaluate whether the action may be maintained as a class certification in light of the Fifth Circuit's opinion and instructions. The Company intends to defend this action vigorously.
In addition, there are three derivative complaints filed by shareholders in the District Court of Collin County, Texas against certain current and former Company directors and officers and naming EDS as a nominal defendant. The actions allege breach of fiduciary duties, abuse of control and gross mismanagement based upon purported misstatements or omissions of material facts regarding the Company's financial condition similar to those raised in the class actions described above. These cases have been consolidated into a single action. This action will be defended vigorously.
On February 25, 2004, a derivative complaint was filed by a shareholder against certain current and former directors and officers of the Company in the District Court. The plaintiff relies upon substantially the same factual allegations as the consolidated securities action discussed above. However, the plaintiff brings the suit on behalf of the Company against the named defendants claiming that they breached their fiduciary duties by failing in their oversight responsibilities and by making and/or permitting material, false and misleading statements to be made concerning the Company's business prospects, financial condition and expected financial results which artificially inflated its stock and resulted in numerous class action suits. Plaintiff seeks contribution and indemnification for the claims and litigation resulting from the defendants' alleged breach of their fiduciary duties. This action had been stayed pending the outcome of the consolidated securities action. On March 13, 2006, the District Court filed an order lifting the stay in this action based upon that court's final approval of the settlement of the consolidated securities action. This action will be defended vigorously.
In October 2004, two derivative complaints were filed in the District Court by shareholders against certain current and former directors and officers of the Company. The allegations against the Company include breach of fiduciary duties, abuse of control, gross mismanagement, constructive fraud, waste and unjust enrichment based upon purported misstatements or omissions of material facts regarding the Company's financial condition similar to those raised in the class actions described above. Plaintiffs seek damages, disgorgement by individual defendants, governance reforms, and punitive damages. The actions had also been stayed pending resolution of the above referenced securities action. On March 13, 2006, the District Court filed an order lifting the stay in this action based upon that court's final approval of the settlement of the consolidated securities action. These actions will be defended vigorously.
The Company does not expect these actions to have a material adverse impact on its consolidated results of operations or financial position.
The SEC staff is conducting a formal investigation of matters relating to the Company's derivatives contracts in connection with its program to manage the future stock issuance requirements of its employee stock incentive plans, the Company's NMCI contract, a contract with a client of the Company that contained a prepayment provision, and the Company's guidance and other events leading up to its third quarter 2002 earnings announcement. The SEC has deposed current and former members of the Company's management and the NMCI account team as well as other witnesses regarding these issues. The SEC staff is also investigating allegations that a former employee working in India for a branch of a former subsidiary of the Company made questionable payments allegedly to further that entity's business in India, a matter which the Company self-reported to the SEC staff and other relevant governmental authorities. In 2004, the Company voluntarily reported to the SEC staff a matter regarding payments made and credits given by the Company to Delphi during 2000 and 2001 and certain payments made by Delphi to the Company for services in 2002 and in early 2003. In October 2006, the SEC filed a lawsuit against Delphi, former Delphi personnel and other persons not employed by Delphi, including one current and two former employees of the Company, alleging violations of securities laws related to these and other matters. The lawsuit was simultaneously settled by Delphi and certain of the other persons charged by the SEC, including the two former employees of the Company. The Company was not charged in this lawsuit.
11
In February 2007, the Company reached an agreement with the Division of Enforcement of the SEC (the "Division") as to the terms of a proposed settlement that the Division has agreed to recommend to other SEC staff offices and to the Commissioners of the SEC for their approval. The proposed settlement would resolve all matters under investigation by the SEC related to the Company. Such settlement, if approved by the SEC, would not have a material adverse impact upon the Company. However the Division has no authority to bind the Commission to any settlement. The Commissioners of the SEC are not obligated to accept the recommendation of the Division and may approve or disapprove this settlement. Accordingly, the Company is unable to predict the ultimate outcome of the investigation or any action the SEC might ultimately take.
On December 19, 2003, Sky Subscribers Services Limited ("SSSL") and British Sky Broadcasting Limited ("BSkyB"), a former client of the Company, served a draft pleading seeking redress for the Company's alleged failure to perform pursuant to a contract between the parties. Under applicable legal procedures, the Company responded to the allegations. Despite the response, on August 17, 2004, SSSL and BSkyB issued and served upon the Company a pleading alleging the following damages, each presented as an alternative cause of action: (1) pre-contract deceit in 2000 in the amount of £320 million (approximately $640 million); (2) pre-contract negligent misrepresentation in 2000 in the amount of £127 million (approximately $255 million); (3) deceit inducing the Letter of Agreement in July 2001 in the amount of £261 million (approximately $525 million); (4) negligent misrepresentation inducing the Letter of Agreement in July 2001 in the amount of £116 million (approximately $235 million); and (5) breach of contract from 2000 through 2002 in the amount of £101 million (approximately $200 million). On November 12, 2004, the Company filed its defense and counterclaim denying the claims and seeking damages in the amount of £4.7 million (approximately $9.4 million). On December 21, 2005, SSSL and BSkyB filed a Re-Amended Particulars of Claim alleging the following damages, still as alternative causes of action: (1) pre-contract deceit in the amount of £480 million (approximately $965 million); (2) pre-contract negligent misrepresentation and negligent misstatement in the amount of £480 million (approximately $965 million); (3) deceit inducing the Letter of Agreement and negligent misrepresentation inducing the Letter of Agreement of £415 million (approximately $835 million); and (4) breach of contract in the amount of £179 million (approximately $360 million). The principal stated reason for the increases in amount of damages was that the claimants had taken the opportunity to re-assess their alleged lost profits and increased costs to deliver the project in light of the extended timetable they then required to complete delivery of the project that was the subject of the contract. Claimants said then that they would further re-assess these alleged losses prior to trial. In April 2007, the claimants served on EDS in draft further amendments to the Particulars of Claim, and the Court conditionally granted claimants request to amend. The claimants have increased the damages claim still further, as follows: (1) pre-contract deceit, negligent misrepresentation and negligent misstatement in the sum of £711.4 million (approximately $1.4 billion); (2) deceit, negligent misrepresentation and negligent misstatement inducing the Letter of Agreement in the sum of £582.9 million (approximately $1.2 billion); and (3) breach of contract in the amount of £160.3 million (approximately $320 million). These heads of claim are still pleaded in the alternative. The principal stated reason for the increases in the amount of damages is that the claimants say they have re-assessed their alleged losses in the light of expert witness evidence. Weeks later, and immediately prior to a hearing on May 25, 2007, the claimants made further revisions to the quantum of their damages claims, as follows: (1) pre-contract deceit, negligent misrepresentation and negligent misstatement in the sum of £709.3 million (approximately $1.4 billion); (2) deceit, negligent misrepresentation and negligent misstatement inducing the Letter of Agreement in the sum of £523 million (approximately $1.1 billion); and (3) breach of contract remained unchanged in the amount of £160.3 million (approximately $320 million). These heads of claim are still pleaded in the alternative. The stated reason for the revisions of the damages claims in (1) and (2) above is that the claimants made arithmetical errors in the preceding amendments a few weeks earlier. A hearing was held on May 25, 2007 at which the court granted claimants leave to amend their pleaded case. The dispute surrounds a contract the Company entered into with BSkyB in November 2000, which was terminated by the Company in January 2003 for BSkyB's failure to pay its invoices. The contract had an initial total contract value of approximately £48 million which rose to just over £60 million during the term of the contract. The Company intends to defend against these allegations vigorously. Discovery is still ongoing in this matter and trial is scheduled to start October 15, 2007. Although there can be no assurance as to the outcome of this matter, the Company does not believe it will have a material adverse impact on its consolidated results or financial position.
There are other various claims and pending actions against the Company arising in the ordinary course of its business. Certain of these actions seek damages in significant amounts. The amount of the Company's liability for such claims and pending actions at June 30, 2007 was not determinable. However, in the opinion of management, the ultimate liability, if any, resulting from such claims and pending actions will not have a material adverse affect on the Company's consolidated results of operations or financial position.

NOTE 12: ACQUISITIONS
On June 26, 2007, the Company acquired RelQ Software Private Limited, a software testing company based in Bangalore, India. The cash purchase price of RelQ, net of cash acquired, was approximately $36 million. The acquisition of RelQ enhances the Company's global applications testing, validation and verification, and quality assurance services. The unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations include the results of the acquired business since the date of acquisition. The preliminary purchase price allocation is as follows: accounts receivable - $8 million; property and equipment - $2 million; goodwill and other intangibles - $30 million; and other liabilities - $4 million. The preliminary purchase price allocation may change upon completion of the valuations of acquired assets and assumed liabilities of the business. Had the Company completed the acquisition as of the earliest date presented, results of operations on a pro forma basis would not have been materially different from actual results.
On June 20, 2006, the Company acquired a controlling interest in MphasiS Limited, an applications and business process outsourcing services company based in Bangalore, India. The cash purchase price of the controlling interest, net of cash acquired, was $352 million ($349 million of which was paid in the second quarter of 2006). The acquisition of MphasiS enhances the Company's capabilities in priority growth areas of applications development and business process outsourcing services. The unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations include the results of the acquired business since the date of acquisition.
NOTE 13: DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
Loss from discontinued operations includes the results of the Company's A.T. Kearney subsidiary which was sold in January 2006 and the maintenance, repair and operations (MRO) management services business which was sold in March 2007. Loss from discontinued operations also includes various adjustments to gains and losses associated with sales of certain businesses classified as discontinued operations in prior years. Proceeds from the sale of A.T. Kearney included a 10-year promissory note from the buyer valued at $52 million. The Company received a $52 million payment from the buyer in the first quarter of 2007 to satisfy this note. Under the terms of the MRO sale agreement and related customer contract amendments, the Company retained accounts receivable and certain other assets of the business but transferred the tangible assets related to the MRO business to the buyer. The Company will continue to provide the buyer and a major customer with certain services during a transition period which may extend until the end of 2007. Upon completion of this transition period, the Company will have no continuing involvement in operations of the MRO management services business. The MRO business was previously included in the Company's A.T. Kearney segment. No interest expense has been allocated to discontinued operations for any of the periods presented.
Following is a summary of loss from discontinued operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006 (in millions):

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes that appear elsewhere in this document.
Overview
Results. Second quarter 2007 revenues of $5.4 billion increased 5% from the prior year second quarter and 1% on an organic basis, which excludes the impact of currency fluctuations, acquisitions and divestitures. Income from continuing operations was $144 million, or $0.28 per basic share and $0.27 per diluted share, in the second quarter of 2007 compared to $109 million, or $0.21 per basic and diluted share, in the prior year second quarter. Net income was $138 million, or $0.27 per basic and $0.26 per diluted share, in the second quarter of 2007 compared to $104 million, or $0.20 per basic and diluted share, in the prior year second quarter.
Total Contract Value of New Contract Signings. The total contract value, or TCV, of our new contract signings in the second quarter of 2007 was approximately $4.3 billion, compared to approximately $5.4 billion in the second quarter of 2006. We refer you to the discussion of our calculation of TCV under "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Non-GAAP Financial Measures" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006 ("2006 Form 10-K"). We expect the TCV of new contract signings in 2007 to be approximately $23 billion.
NMCI Contract. We provide end-to-end IT infrastructure on a seat management basis to the Department of Navy (the "DoN"), which includes the U.S. Navy and Marine Corps. On March 24, 2006, we entered into a contract modification with the DoN pursuant to which, among other amendments, the DoN exercised its option to extend this contract by three years through September 2010. As a result of the contract modification, in compliance with Emerging Issues Task Force 01-8, Determining Whether an Arrangement Contains a Lease, we recognized sales-type capital lease revenue of $116 million in the first quarter of 2006 associated with certain assets previously accounted for as operating leases, and certain assets previously accounted for as capital leases with an aggregate net investment balance of $113 million are now accounted for as operating leases based on revised estimates of economic lives as agreed in the contract modification (20 years). We expect to recover a significant portion of our investment in this contract through the sale of NMCI infrastructure and desktop assets to the client at the end of the contract term, including amounts in excess of the expected carrying amounts of contract assets. Long-lived assets and lease receivables associated with the contract totaled approximately $376 million and $305 million, respectively, at June 30, 2007. As a result of the activity on the contract during the first quarter of 2006, including the sales-type capital lease revenue resulting from the contract modification, we recognized net non-recurring income of $0.02 per share during that quarter.
U.K. Ministry of Defence Contract. In March 2005, a consortium led by EDS was awarded a 10-year contract for the first increment of the U.K. Ministry of Defence (MoD) project to consolidate numerous existing information networks into a single next-generation infrastructure (the Defence Information Infrastructure Future project). The total contract value of the initial contract was approximately $3.9 billion over 10 years. In December 2006, the contract was amended to include the second increment of such project, increasing the total contract value by approximately $1.27 billion over the remaining eight years of the contract. Our upfront expenditure and capital investment requirements for this contract have adversely impacted our free cash flow and earnings during certain fiscal periods since inception of the contract and may continue to do so in the future. There have occurred and may occur in the future program changes and inabilities to achieve certain related dependencies that extend the initial development timeline. This contract provides for adjustments to be made to reflect the financial impact to EDS of certain program changes and any inability to achieve dependencies. During the first and second quarters of 2007, we reached a mutually satisfactory agreement with the client regarding some billing adjustments under the contract to reflect part of the financial impact to us of an extended development timeline. We will continue in the ongoing course of this contract to work with the client to agree upon any future appropriate adjustments under the contract which may be necessary. If we are unable to reach agreement with the client regarding such adjustments, our revenues, earnings and free cash flow for this contract, or the timing of the recognition thereof, could be adversely impacted.
Share Count. The weighted-average number of shares used to compute basic and diluted earnings per share were 510 million and 541 million, respectively, for the three months ended June 30, 2007, and 512 million and 543 million, respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 2007. Our share count reflects share repurchases as well as shares issued under our employee stock-based compensation programs. Factors that could affect basic and dilutive share counts in the future include the share price and additional repurchases of shares, offset by the dilutive effects of all our employee stock-based compensation plans and our contingently convertible senior notes. We are evaluating a longer-term "share neutral" approach, the objective of which would be to repurchase sufficient additional shares to approximately offset the dilutive effects of our employee stock-based compensation plans. Such approach would not require a material amount of share repurchases in 2007. We expect the weighted-average number of shares used to compute diluted earnings per share to be approximately 545 million shares during 2007 (which includes the dilutive impact of our contingently convertible senior notes). In April 2007, we completed the $1 billion share repurchase program
14
announced in February 2006. We purchased an aggregate of 37.6 million shares of common stock at a cost of $1 billion (excluding transaction costs) under this program. The effect of our contingently convertible debt was dilutive for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007. Accordingly, approximately $5 million of tax-effected interest was added to income from continuing operations and net income and 20 million shares were added to weighted-average shares outstanding in the computation of diluted earnings per share for the three months ended June 30, 2007. Approximately $9 million of tax-effected interest was added to income from continuing operations and net income and 20 million shares were added to weighted-average shares outstanding in the computation of diluted earnings per share for the six months ended June 30, 2007.
MphasiS. In June 2006, we acquired a majority interest in MphasiS Limited, an applications and business process outsourcing services company based in Bangalore, India. As of July 23, 2007, we completed the merger of EDS Electronic Data Systems (India) Private Limited, our wholly-owned Indian subsidiary, into MphasiS. Upon the issuance of shares of MphasiS common stock to us in connection with the merger, which we expect to occur in the third quarter of 2007, our ownership in MphasiS will increase to approximately 61% compared to approximately 50% at June 30, 2007.
Verizon. We provided IT services to MCI, Inc. pursuant to an IT services agreement that included minimum annual purchase obligations through January 2008. MCI was acquired by Verizon Communications, Inc. in January 2006. In December 2006, Verizon in-sourced most of the IT services we had been providing to MCI. During the first quarter of 2007, we received a payment of $225 million from Verizon related to the termination of these services we had been providing to MCI. Such payment is included in our free cash flow for the first quarter of 2007. We refer you to the discussion of free cash flow in "Liquidity and Capital Resources" below. Due to certain contingencies in our agreement with this client, approximately $125 million of the $225 million payment was deferred and is expected to be recognized in the third quarter of 2007. The remaining $100 million of the $225 million payment is included in revenues in our unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations for the first quarter of 2007. As a result of this payment and certain services we will continue to provide and bill for in 2007, we do not expect that our free cash flow or income for this contract for the 2007 fiscal year will be significantly different from the results we would have experienced had the contract continued unchanged through January 2008. However, we do not expect to recognize any significant revenue or earnings or generate any significant cash flow from this client after 2007. We refer you to the discussion of our relationships with Verizon in "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Overview - Verizon" in our 2006 Form 10-K.
Update to 2007 Free Cash Flow Guidance. Primarily as a result of an increase in forecasted capital expenditures and working capital requirements for the remainder of the year, we have updated our free cash flow guidance and now expect to generate free cash flow of $900 million to $1 billion in 2007. We refer you to the definition and discussion of free cash flow under "Liquidity and Capital Resources" below.

Results of Operations
Revenues. As-reported growth percentages are calculated using revenues reported in the consolidated statements of operations. Organic growth percentages are calculated by removing from current year as-reported revenues the impact of the change in exchange rates between the local currency and the U.S. dollar from the current period and the comparable prior period. It further excludes revenue growth due to acquisitions in the period presented if the comparable prior period had no revenue from the same acquisition, and revenue decreases due to businesses divested in the period presented or the comparable prior period. Segment revenues for non-U.S. operations are measured using fixed currency exchange rates. Differences between the fixed and actual exchange rates are included in the "all other" category.
Following is a summary of revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006 (in millions):
| | | | As-Reported | Organic |
| Consolidated revenues: | 2007 | 2006 | Growth % | Growth % |

The decrease in revenues in the Americas was primarily due to the in-sourcing of services by Verizon. As discussed above, the payment from Verizon related to such in-sourcing was not reflected in our second quarter 2007 revenue or earnings. Accordingly, revenues related to this client in the second quarter decreased approximately $100 million compared to the second quarter of 2006. The decrease in Americas revenues was partially offset by revenue growth from a contract with a new client in our consumer industries and retail group and add-on business with an existing client in our financial services industry group. Revenue growth in EMEA was primarily attributable to increased revenues from various contracts with the U.K. MoD and contracts with other clients in the U.K. and in Central and South EMEA. Revenue growth in EMEA was partially offset by the impact of the divestiture of Global Field Services ("GFS"), our desktop support services business located in Europe, during the fourth quarter of 2006. Revenue growth in Asia Pacific was primarily attributable to our acquisition of MphasiS in the second quarter of 2006, partially offset by a decline in revenues from a client in the financial services industry in Australia. Revenue growth in U.S. Government was primarily attributable to the NMCI contract.
Following is a summary of revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006 (in millions):

Revenue growth in the Americas was primarily attributable to a contract with a new client in our consumer industries and retail group and add-on business with an existing client in our financial services industry group, partially offset by a decrease in revenues from Verizon. As discussed above, revenues related to Verizon in the first quarter of 2007 includes $100 million of the $225 million payment discussed above as well as revenues from certain services we will continue to provide Verizon through the remainder of this year. The decrease in EMEA revenues was primarily attributable to the divestiture of GFS and revenue declines in certain U.K. contracts, partially offset by increased revenues from various contracts with the U.K. MoD. Revenue growth in Asia Pacific was primarily attributable to our acquisition of MphasiS in the second quarter of 2006, partially offset by a decline in revenues from a client in the financial services industry in Australia. Revenue growth in U.S. Government was primarily attributable to the NMCI contract. Refer to "Overview" above for a further discussion of the NMCI contract.
Gross margin. Our gross margin percentages [(revenues less cost of revenues)/revenues] were 13.2% and 12.1% for the three months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. The increase in our gross margin percentage in 2007 was primarily attributable to improved financial performance on certain large contracts, including NMCI (125 basis points). Our gross margin in 2007 was unfavorably impacted by the Verizon contract (75 basis points). The remaining change in our gross margin percentage in 2007 was primarily due to efficiencies in our U.S. service delivery organization. Refer to "Overview" above for a further discussion of the Verizon contract.
Our gross margin percentages were 13.3% and 11.2% for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. The increase in our gross margin percentage in 2007 was primarily attributable to improved financial performance on certain large contracts, including NMCI (140 basis points). Our gross margin was also favorably impacted by a reduction in compensation expense related to our stock-based compensation programs (25 basis points), primarily due to the accelerated vesting of certain stock option grants in the first quarter of 2006. The remaining change in our gross margin in 2007 was primarily due to efficiencies in our U.S. service delivery organization. Refer to Note 7 in the accompanying Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information related to our stock-based compensation programs.
Selling, general and administrative. SG&A expenses as a percentage of revenues were 8.9% and 9.2% for the three months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. SG&A expenses as a percentage of revenues were 8.6% and 9.0% for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. The decrease in our SG&A percentages was primarily attributable to an increase in revenues in 2007 while maintaining SG&A spend between periods.
Other income (expense). Other income (expense) includes interest expense, interest and dividend income, investment gains and losses, minority interest expense, and foreign currency transaction gains and losses. Following is a summary of other income (expense) for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006 (in millions):
| | Three Months Ended June 30, | Six Months Ended June 30, |
| | 2007 | 2006 | 2007 | 2006 |
| Interest expense | $ | (56) | $ | (63) | $ | (113) | $ | (123) |
| Interest income and other, net | 24 | 37 | 74 | 75 |
| Total | $ | (32) | $ | (26) | $ | (39) | $ | (48) |
| | | | | |
The decrease in interest income and other in 2007 was primarily due to foreign currency transaction losses and changes in the fair value of our interest rate swap agreements.
Income taxes. Our effective income tax rates on income from continuing operations were 28.7% and 15.5% for the three months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Our effective income tax rates on income from continuing operations were 32.8% and 23.2% for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. The effective tax rate in the second quarter of 2007 was impacted by the recently enacted Texas tax legislation which will permit the recovery of $13 million of deferred tax assets that were written off in the second quarter of 2006. The 2006 second quarter tax rate included the impact of the original enactment of the new Texas tax system which required a write off of $16 million of deferred tax assets and favorable changes to the liabilities for tax contingencies of $46 million. The tax rates in 2006 were also impacted by the expiration of the U.S. research and development credit, the extension of which was not enacted until fourth quarter 2006.
We adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. ("FIN") 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes - an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109, effective January 1, 2007. FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an entity's financial statements in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes, and prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for financial statement
17
disclosure of tax positions taken or expected to be taken on a tax return. As a result of the implementation of FIN 48, we recognized an increase of $2 million in net unrecognized tax benefits. Refer to Note 10 in the accompanying Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.
We expect the tax rate to be impacted during 2007 as a result of pending German tax legislation which would change that country's rate of income tax. The law will, when enacted, result in an increase in tax expense of approximately $35 million to write down the value of German deferred tax assets in the quarter of enactment. This impact is reflected in the updated 2007 earnings guidance set forth in our Form 10-Q for the three months ended March 31, 2007.
Discontinued operations. Loss from discontinued operations includes the results of the Company's A.T. Kearney subsidiary which was sold in January 2006 and the maintenance, repair and operations (MRO) management services business which was sold in March 2007. Loss from discontinued operations also includes various adjustments to gains and losses associated with sales of certain businesses classified as discontinued operations in prior years. Refer to Note 13 in the accompanying Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information related to discontinued operations.
Segment information. Refer to Note 8 in the accompanying Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for a summary of certain financial information related to our reportable segments.
Financial Position
At June 30, 2007, we held cash and marketable securities of $2.9 billion, had working capital of $3.0 billion, and had a current ratio (current assets/current liabilities) of 1.57-to-1. This compares to cash and marketable securities of $3.0 billion, working capital of $3.0 billion, and a current ratio of 1.58-to-1 at December 31, 2006. Approximately 5% of our cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities at June 30, 2007 were not available for debt repayment due to various commercial limitations on the use of these assets.
Days sales outstanding for trade receivables ("DSO") were 62 days at June 30, 2007 compared to 56 days at December 31, 2006. The increase in DSO was due to weaker collections of accounts receivable across all of our reportable segments and changes in certain contract billing terms during 2007. We expect to reduce DSO by several days throughout the year to a more normalized level of approximately 56 as achieved at December 31, 2006. The reduction of DSO to such a level is an important element of our ability to achieve our free cash flow guidance for 2007. Days payable outstanding were 29 days at June 30, 2007 compared to 21 days at December 31, 2006.
Total debt was $3.1 billion at June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006. Total debt consists of notes payable and capital leases. The total debt-to-capital ratio (which includes total debt and minority interests as components of capital) was 27% at June 30, 2007 and 28% at December 31, 2006.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements and Contractual Obligations
In connection with certain service contracts, we may arrange a client supported financing transaction ("CSFT") with our client and an independent third-party financial institution or its designee. In CSFTs, client payments are made directly to the financial institution providing the financing. If the client does not make the required payments under the service contract, under no circumstances do we have an ultimate obligation to acquire the underlying assets unless our nonperformance under the service contract would permit its termination, or we fail to comply with certain customary terms under the financing agreements, including, for example, covenants we have undertaken regarding the use of the assets for their intended purpose. We consider the possibility of our failure to comply with any of these terms to be remote.
At June 30, 2007, there were outstanding an aggregate of $82 million under CSFTs yet to be paid by our clients. No additional asset purchases are expected to be financed under existing arrangements. In the event a client contract is terminated due to nonperformance, we would be required to acquire only those assets associated with the outstanding amounts for that contract. Net of repayments, the estimated future maximum amount outstanding under existing financing arrangements is not expected to exceed $100 million. We believe we have sufficient alternative sources of capital to directly finance the purchase of capital assets to be used for our current and future client contracts without the use of these arrangements.

Contractual obligations. Following is a summary of payments due in specified periods related to our contractual obligations as of June 30, 2007, including payments made during the first six months of 2007 and payments due in the remaining six months of 2007 (in millions):
| | | Payments Made / Due by Period |
| | Total | 2007 | 2008-2009 | 2010-2011 | After 2011 |
| Long-term debt, including current portion and interest(1) | $ | 4,792 | $ | 364 | $ | 1,316 | $ | 1,023 | $ | 2,089 |
| Operating lease obligations | 1,848 | 351 | 634 | 353 | 510 |
| Purchase obligations(2) | 2,889 | 1,300 | 1,201 | 384 | 4 |
| Total(3) | $ | 9,529 | $ | 2,015 | $ | 3,151 | $ | 1,760 | $ | 2,603 |
| | | | | | |
(1) Amounts represent the expected cash payments (principal and interest) of our long-term debt and do not include any fair value adjustments or bond premiums or discounts. Amounts also include capital lease payments (principal and interest).
(2) Purchase obligations include material agreements to purchase goods or services, principally software and telecommunications services, that are enforceable and legally binding on EDS and that specify all significant terms, including: fixed or minimum quantities to be purchased; fixed, minimum or variable price provisions; and the approximate timing of the transaction. Purchase obligations exclude agreements that are cancelable without penalty. Purchase obligations also exclude our obligation to repurchase minority interests in joint ventures, including our obligation to repurchase Towers Perrin's minority interest in ExcellerateHRO.
(3) We expect to contribute approximately $135 million to our qualified and nonqualified pension plans in 2007, including discretionary and statutory contributions. Our U.S. funding policy is to contribute amounts that fall within the range of deductible contributions for U.S. federal income tax purposes. See Note 9 of the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information about our retirement plans.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Following is a summary of our cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006 (in millions):
| | 2007 | 2006 |
| Net cash provided by operating activities | $ | 753 | $ | 840 |
| Net cash used in investing activities | (520) | (568) |
| Net cash used in financing activities | (331) | (398) |
| Free cash flow | 148 | 324 |
Operating activities. The decrease in net cash provided by operating activities in 2007 compared to 2006 was due to a $260 million increase in cash provided by earnings (i.e., net income less non-cash operating items) and a $(347) million change in operating assets and liabilities. The change in operating assets and liabilities resulted primarily from a $155 million net decrease in accounts receivable collections resulting from higher DSO in 2007 (see "Financial Position" section above), a $114 million net increase in deferred contract costs primarily associated with the ramp-up of certain large contracts, and a $276 million net decrease in amounts collected from customers but not yet earned. Significant payments collected from customers but not yet earned included $125 million from Verizon in the first half of 2007 (see "Overview" above), compared to a $100 million payment from NMCI and a $270 million payment from another government client in the first half of 2006. The decrease in cash in 2007 resulting from changes in the aforementioned operating assets and liabilities was partially offset by less cash used for taxes ($254 million) in 2007, primarily resulting from higher tax payments in the first half of 2006 associated with payments to the IRS on tax audit issues, and a decrease in deferred tax assets in the first half of 2007.
Investing activities. The decrease in net cash used in investing activities in 2007 compared to 2006 was primarily due to a decrease in net proceeds from sales of marketable securities and investments, partially offset by a decrease in acquisition payments (see Note 12 in the accompanying Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements) and an increase in net proceeds from divested assets. Net proceeds from divested assets in 2007 includes the collection of a $52 million promissory note related to the sale of A.T. Kearney.
Financing activities. The decrease in net cash used in financing activities in 2007 compared to 2006 was primarily due to a decrease in purchases of treasury stock, partially offset by a decrease in cash provided by employee stock transactions.
Free cash flow. We reported free cash flow of $148 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007, compared to $324 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006. We define free cash flow as net cash provided by operating activities, less capital expenditures. Capital expenditures is the sum of (i) net cash used in investing activities, excluding proceeds from sales of marketable securities, proceeds related to divested assets and non-marketable equity investments, payments for acquisitions, net of
19
cash acquired, and non-marketable equity investments, and payments for purchases of marketable securities, and (ii) payments on capital leases. Free cash flow excludes items that are actual expenditures that impact cash available to us for other uses and should not be considered a measure of liquidity or an alternative to the cash flow measurements required by GAAP, such as net cash provided by operating activities or net increase/decrease in cash and cash equivalents. We may not define free cash flow in the same manner as other companies and, accordingly, the free cash flow we report may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. We refer you to the discussion of free cash flow in "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Non-GAAP Financial Measures" in our 2006 Form 10-K. Our ability to achieve our free cash flow guidance for 2007 is dependent in part on our ability to maintain capital expenditures and working capital usage at levels consistent with our forecast, including, without limitation, the reduction of DSO to more normalized levels as described above, as well as our ability to achieve our 2007 earnings per share guidance.
Following is a reconciliation of free cash flow to the net change in cash and cash equivalents for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006 (in millions):
| | 2007 | 2006 |
| Net cash provided by operating activities | $ | 753 | $ | 840 |
| | | |
| Capital expenditures: | | |
| Proceeds from investments and other assets | 61 | 171 |
| Payments for purchases of property and equipment | (367) | (327) |
| Payments for investments and other assets | - | (35) |
| Payments for purchases of software and other intangibles | (230) | (267) |
| Other investing activities | 8 | 12 |
| Capital lease payments | (77) | (70) |
| Total net capital expenditures | (605) | (516) |
| Free cash flow | 148 | 324 |
| | | |
| Other investing and financing activities: | | |
| Proceeds from sales of marketable securities | - | 1,431 |
| Net proceeds (payments) from divested assets and non-marketable equity securities | 53 | (11) |
| Payments for acquisitions, net of cash acquired, and non-marketable equity securities | (43) | (349) |
| Payments for purchases of marketable securities | (2) | (1,193) |
| Proceeds from long-term debt | 5 | - |
| Payments on long-term debt | (10) | (10) |
| Purchase of treasury stock | (334) | (455) |
| Employee stock transactions | 129 | 175 |
| Dividends paid | (51) | (52) |

| Effect of exchange rate changes on cash and cash equivalents | 7 | 1 |
| Net decrease in cash and cash equivalents | $ | (91) | $ | (125) |
| | | |
Covenants. On June 30, 2006, we entered into a $1 billion Five Year Credit Agreement (the "Credit Agreement") with a bank group including Citibank, N.A., as Administrative Agent for the lenders, and Bank of America, N.A., as Syndication Agent. At June 30, 2007, there were no amounts outstanding under the Credit Agreement. The Credit Agreement contains certain financial and other restrictive covenants which would allow any amounts outstanding thereunder to be accelerated, or restrict our ability to borrow thereunder, in the event of our noncompliance. Following is a summary of such covenants and the calculated ratios at June 30, 2007:
| | Covenant | Actual |
| Leverage ratio | ≤ 3.00 | 1.12 |
| Interest coverage ratio | ≥ 3.00 | 12.15 |
| | | |
20
Credit ratings. Following is a summary of our senior long-term debt credit ratings by Moody's Investor Services, Inc. ("Moody's"), Standard & Poor's Rating Services ("S&P") and Fitch Ratings ("Fitch") at June 30, 2007:
| | Moody's | S&P | Fitch |
| Senior long-term debt | Ba1 | BBB- | BBB- |
| Outlook | Positive | Stable | Positive |
At June 30, 2007, we had no recognized or contingent material liabilities that would be subject to accelerated payment due to a ratings downgrade. We do not believe a negative change in our credit rating would have a material adverse impact on us under the terms of our existing client agreements.
Liquidity. At June 30, 2007, we had total liquidity of $3.6 billion, comprised of unrestricted cash and marketable securities of $2.8 billion and availability under our unsecured credit facilities of $826 million. Management currently intends to maintain unrestricted cash and marketable securities in an amount equal to at least 12 months of forecasted capital expenditures (as defined under "Free Cash Flow" above), interest payments, debt maturities and dividend payments.
New Accounting Pronouncements
In February 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Statement No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities. This new standard will allow companies to elect to measure specified financial instruments and warranty and insurance contracts at fair value on a contract-by-contract basis, with changes in fair value recognized in earnings in each reporting period. The new standard is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. We are currently evaluating the requirements of Statement No. 159 and have not yet determined the impact on our consolidated financial statements.
In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement No. 157, Fair Value Measurements. This new standard defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. The new standard is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those years. The provisions of the new standard are to be applied prospectively for most financial instruments and retrospectively for others as of the beginning of the fiscal year in which the standard is initially applied. We will be required to adopt this new standard in the first quarter of 2008. We are currently evaluating the requirements of Statement No. 157 and have not yet determined the impact on our consolidated financial statements.
We adopted FIN 48 effective January 1, 2007. We refer you to "Results of Operations" above for additional information about this accounting change.
Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
Except for the historical information and discussions contained herein, statements contained in this Form 10-Q may constitute "forward looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements include statements regarding future financial performance, TCV of new contract signings and other forward-looking financial information. Any forward-looking statement may rely on a number of assumptions concerning future events and be subject to a number of uncertainties and other factors, many of which are outside our control, that could cause actual results to differ materially from such statements. These factors include, but are not limited to, the following: the performance of current and future client contracts in accordance with our cost, revenue and cash flow estimates, including our ability to achieve any operational efficiencies in our estimates; for contracts with U.S. Federal government clients, including our NMCI contract, the government's ability to cancel the contract or impose additional terms and conditions due to changes in government funding, deployment schedules, military action or otherwise; our ability to access the capital markets, including our ability to obtain capital leases, surety bonds and letters of credit; the impact of third-party benchmarking provisions in certain client contracts; the impact on a historical and prospective basis of accounting rules and pronouncements; the impact of claims, litigation and governmental investigations; the success of cost-cutting initiatives and the timing and amount of any resulting benefits; the impact of acquisitions and divestitures; a reduction in the carrying value of our assets; the impact of a bankruptcy or financial difficulty of a significant client on the financial and other terms of our agreements with that client; with respect to the funding of pension plan obligations, the performance of our investments relative to our assumed rate of return; changes in tax laws and interpretations and failure to obtain treaty relief from double taxation; failure to obtain or protect intellectual property rights; fluctuations in foreign currency, exchange rates and interest rates; the impact of competition on pricing, revenues and margins; the degree to which third parties continue to outsource IT and business processes; and the factors discussed elsewhere in this Form 10‑Q and under the heading Risk Factors in Item 1A to Part I of our 2006 Form 10-K. We disclaim any intention or obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as may be required by law.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
EDS evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of its disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. This evaluation was performed under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer. Based upon their evaluation, our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, have concluded that the company's disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this report.
Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Our internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Commencing in the first quarter of 2007, we transitioned certain transaction and journal entry processing and preparation of general ledger account reconciliations from the existing accounting workforce to a newly hired workforce in lower cost Best Shore® locations. This transition is still in process. We expect these actions will improve our internal controls over financial reporting by enabling us to conform general ledger processing to a single, global standard and operate a more centralized accounting function. We have taken steps to mitigate the control risks created by these actions, including establishment of monitoring controls and workforce management and training programs.
Management has evaluated changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the three months ended June 30, 2007. Based on this evaluation, other than the actions referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph, we have identified no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the three months ended June 30, 2007, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
