2.2. | Scope of consolidation |
Major changes to the scope of consolidation during the period were as follows:
2.2.1. | Acquisitions |
January 2002Atos Origin increased its interest in Atos Odyssée from 86% to 93% in accordance with the progressive stock purchase agreement. This additional interest was purchased for a consideration of EUR 2.2 million. Atos Odyssée is a French company included in the Consulting Division.

January/June 2002acquisition of the entire common stock of the French company Idée Industrie Services (2IS), fully consolidated since January 1st, 2002 at a value of EUR 2.7 million. As a result of the acquisition of this company, which holds a 34% stake in A2B, Atos Origin increased its interest in this latter from 51% to 66%.
August 2002acquisition of the entire common stock of KPMG Consulting in the United Kingdom and in The Netherlands, fully consolidated since September 1st, 2002. In consideration for the acquisition of KPMG Consulting in the United Kingdom and The Netherlands, Atos Origin issued 3,657,000 bonds redeemable in Atos Origin shares (ORA bonds) at a price of EUR 64.2 each, representing a total of EUR 235 million. The ORA bonds will be redeemed automatically, irrevocably and fully in shares, on August 16th, 2003 at a rate of one new Atos Origin share for one ORA bond.

2.2.2. | Disposals |
January 2002the Group disposed of its 35% interest in TIS & Origin Consulting (Japan — System Integration). This disposal does not impact Group Revenue as this company was equity accounted in 2001.
2.3. | Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements* |
2.3.1. | Accounting Policies |
With effect from January 1st, 2001, the consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the ‘new accounting rules and methods applicable to consolidated financial statements’ approved by the Order of June 22nd, 1999, implementing the Accounting Standards Committee Regulation CRC 99-02.
* The consolidated financial statements as of and for the fiscal periods ended December 31, 2001 and 2000 were not audited in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards in the United States, and are not covered by the audit report of Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu and Amyot Exco Grant Thornton with respect the Atos Origin consolidated financial statements of Atos Origin as of and for the year ended December 31, 2002, which states that an audit of the Atos Origin financial statements for such period was conducted in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States.
ATOS ORIGIN ANNUAL REPORT 200229
2 ANNUAL REPORT | > FINANCIAL REPORT |
These accounting policies do not differ from those previously adopted by the Group and detailed in the Notes to the consolidated financial statements presented in the 2000 Annual Report.
In accordance with the option offered by Regulation 99-02, Atos Origin has not retroactively adjusted investment and divestment transactions performed prior to January 1st, 2001.
With effect from January 1st, 2002, the Group adopted CRC Regulation 00-06 regarding liabilities. Application of this regulation has no impact on opening shareholders’ equity.
As part of the preparation of the consolidated financial statements, Atos Origin has aligned itself with the provisions of certain standards established by the IASC with respect to measurement and recognition.
In particular, Atos Origin has aligned itself with the measures prescribed for the recognition of revenue from services involving fixed price contracts based on the percentage of completion method (IAS 11), the determination of income taxes (IAS12) the recording of property, plant and equipment (IAS 16) and leases (IAS 17), the measurement and recognition of employee benefits (IAS 19), the effects of changes in foreign exchange rates (IAS 21), the impairment of assets (IAS 36) and the recognition of provisions, contingent liabilities and contingent assets (IAS 37).
2.3.2. | Consolidation rules |
a. Methods of consolidation
The financial statements of companies over which Atos Origin (hereinafter referred to as ‘the Company’) exercises exclusive control, whether directly or indirectly, are fully consolidated.
The financial statements of companies in which voting rights are split between the Company and another shareholder are consolidated as follows:
• | companies over which the Company has effective control of their business operations are fully consolidated; | |
• | companies over which the Company exercises significant influence are accounted for using the equity method. Significant influence is assumed to exist where more than 20% of voting rights are held. |
b. Basis of consolidation
All companies are consolidated on the basis of financial statements or accounts drawn up to December 31st and adjusted, where necessary, in accordance with Group accounting policies.
c. Foreign companies
The balance sheets of subsidiaries, which do not use the single European currency, are translated into euros at year-end rates of exchange and their income statements are translated at average exchange rates for the year. The impact of exchange rate movements on the balance sheet and net income for the year is taken to shareholders’ equity under ‘Translation adjustments’ (IAS21).
d. Review of the value in use of long-term assets
Long-term assets (property, plant and equipment, intangible assets and goodwill) are adjusted to their value in use when significant adverse changes are identified indicating that the value in use of an asset appears to be lower than its net carrying amount on a long-term basis.
The value in use is reviewed for each asset category by taking into account the Group expectations in terms of economic and operational trends relating to the use of the assets concerned. When an impairment appears necessary, the amount recognized is equal to the difference between the net carrying amount and the value in use.
The value in use is determined by referring to discounted future cash flows, market prices and replacement costs for the used equipment.
For goodwill, the value in use takes into account, in addition to future economic benefits, the benefits expected from the acquisition, such as the synergies resulting from the integration of the acquired enterprise with the Group’s activities and the enterprise’s strategic value for the Group.
The Group is thus in line with the measures of IAS 36, which inspired CNC opinion 2002-07 regarding asset depreciation and impairment.
e. Goodwill
Goodwill represents that portion of the difference between the cost of an investment and the Group’s share in the adjusted net assets of the company acquired as of the date of acquisition, not allocated to fair value adjustments.
Goodwill is amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated period of benefit, not exceeding 20 years.

Atos signed a Transfer and Subscription Agreement on August 27th, 2000 under which Royal Philips Electronics transferred 98.2% of Origin common stock to Atos, in consideration for the issue of 19,532,732 Atos shares and 2,387,836 Atos shares each with two stock subscription warrants attached (ABSA). The ABSA were divided immediately after issue into 2,387,836 shares and 4,775,672 stock subscription warrants. As of December 31st, 2002, only the second tranche of stock subscription warrants (2,387,836 warrants) remained in circulation. The resulting goodwill was deducted from additional paid-in capital recognized at the time of the transfer, up to the
30 ATOS ORIGIN ANNUAL REPORT 2002
> FINANCIAL REPORT | ANNUAL REPORT 2 |
amount thereof, in accordance with COB monthly bulletin no. 210 of January 1988. The residual balance was recorded in assets in the consolidated balance sheet.
Notional annual amortization of EUR 9.0 million would have been recorded in respect of the Origin goodwill had this not been partially offset against additional paid-in capital in fiscal year 2000.
Atos KPMG Consulting goodwill
On August 16th, 2002, Atos Origin purchased the entire common stock of Atos KPMG Consulting in the United Kingdom and The Netherlands. This acquisition was remunerated by the issue of 3,657,000 bonds redeemable in shares (ORA bonds) with stock subscription warrants attached at a price of EUR 64.20 each, representing a total amount of EUR 235 million, and a cash payment of EUR 417 million.
Pursuant to Article 210 of CRC Regulation 99-02, the acquisition cost of the KPMG Consulting in the United Kingdom and The Netherlands securities is equal, at the date on which control becomes effective, to the fair value of securities issued. The fair value of the ORA bonds presented in consideration was determined using a multi-criteria approach taking into account the stock market price of the Atos Origin share and the transaction value set by the parties. This method produced a value of EUR 64.20 per share, or a total value for the ORA bonds of EUR 235 million.
The stock subscription warrants attached to the shares underpin the earn-out clause granted in favor of the Atos KPMG Consulting partners in the United Kingdom and The Netherlands.
The stock subscription warrants detached from the ORA bonds represent an additional component of the purchase price for the Atos KPMG consulting activity, payable solely on the realization of certain activity results (earn-out clause). These stock subscription warrants may only be exercised if revenue and profitability objectives of the activities purchased are realized.
Atos Origin has not recorded the stock subscription warrants in its balance sheet and will treat them as an off-balance sheet commitment until their exercise date.
Given the recent nature of the transaction and the expected benefits of the acquisition, such as synergies resulting from the integration of purchased activities with those of the Group, and the quality, importance and competitive positioning of these activities, it was not considered necessary to perform an impairment test leading to a reduction in the net book value of assets allocated to these activities.
f. Effective date of acquisitions and disposals
Net income of companies acquired or sold during the course of the fiscal year is recorded in the consolidated income statement with effect from the date control is acquired or up to the date of disposal respectively.
g. Research and development expenditure
Research and development expenditure in respect of specific applications or products is expensed in the period incurred.
h. Other intangible fixed assets
Other intangible fixed assets primarily comprise software acquired by the Group and amortized on a straight-line basis over periods specific to each acquisition, subject to a maximum of five years. The cost of software developed for internal or commercial use is generally expensed in the period incurred.
It may however be capitalized within intangible fixed assets where the following conditions are satisfied:
• | the project is clearly identified and the corresponding costs are itemized and monitored in a reliable manner; | |
• | the technical design feasibility of the software is demonstrated; | |
• | the Group intends to produce, commercialize or use the software internally; | |
• | a potential market exists for software intended for rental, sale or marketing in any other form and the utility of the software to the Group has been approved in the case of internal use; | |
• | sufficient resources exist to carry the project through to commercialization or internal use; | |
• | the Group possesses the management and monitoring tools necessary to satisfy these conditions. |
Only costs incurred during the software production phase are capitalized, with costs incurred during design, user configuration and follow-up phases expensed in the period.
The Group holds a number of patents but has not granted any licenses in respect thereof. The Group incurs license fees in respect of licenses granted to it. These fees are recorded in the Income statement under Operating costs and expenses.
i. Tangible fixed assets
Tangible fixed assets are recorded at acquisition cost net of any interest expenses. They are depreciated on a straight-line or reducing-balance basis over the following expected useful lives:
- Buildings | 20 years | |
- Fixtures and fittings | 5 to 10 years | |
- Computer hardware | 3 to 5 years | |
- Vehicles | 4 years | |
- Office furniture and equipment | 5 to 10 years |
Assets acquired under operating lease contracts are not capitalized.
Assets acquired under finance lease contacts are capitalized and the corresponding borrowing recorded in liabilities in the
ATOS ORIGIN ANNUAL REPORT 200231
2 ANNUAL REPORT | > FINANCIAL REPORT |
balance sheet. The accounting policy adopted by the Group is consistent with IAS 17 ‘Leases’.
j. Investments
Non-consolidated participating interests are stated at the lower of acquisition cost and fair value.
Fair value corresponds to fair value to the Group, taking into account the Group’s share in adjusted net worth and the future profitability prospects of the Company. A provision for impairment is recorded where the fair value of an investment falls below its acquisition cost.
k. Treasury stock
The Atos Origin shares held by the parent company are charged against consolidated shareholders’ equity.
The accounting treatment for these shares is attributable to the purpose of their holding.
In the event of a disposal, the gain or loss and the corresponding tax impact are recorded in changes in consolidated shareholders’ equity.
l. Operating Receivables
Operating receivables are recorded at nominal value. They are assessed individually and, where appropriate, a provision is raised to take likely recovery problems into account.
m. Transferable securities
Transferable securities are recorded in the balance sheet at the lower of acquisition cost and market value.
For listed securities, market value is equal to the stock market price at the fiscal year-end. SICAV units are recorded at net asset value. Unrealized capital gains are not recognized.
n. Provisions for contingencies and losses
Provisions for contingencies and losses are recognized in compliance with the rulings of the Comité de la Réglementation Comptable governing liabilities (CRC N° 2000-06), whose application is mandatory for fiscal years beginning as of January 1st, 2002. This application had no impact on shareholders’ equity.
The regulation defines a liability as an element of the asset base with a negative economic value for the entity, i.e. an obligation (legal, regulatory, or contractual) of the entity with respect to a third party for which an outflow of resources benefiting this third party is probable or certain, without a consideration expected from the latter that is at least equivalent.
The accounting policy adopted by the Group is consistent with IAS 37 ‘Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets’.
Atos Origin merger provisions
These provisions concern the Atos Origin merger and break down as follows:
• | Origin fair value adjustment initially established to cover long-term commitments to purchase software licenses for which there was no corresponding business, disputes, litigation and claims as well as previously identified employee-related and tax contingencies and losses to completion on fixed-price contracts; | |
• | provisions for discontinued operations; | |
• | provisions for reorganization (employee costs); | |
• | provisions for real estate end data center rationalization (closure of business sites, regrouping, optimization, etc.). |
Other provisions on acquisitions
These provisions concern the acquisition of KPMG Consulting in the United Kingdom and The Netherlands and primarily comprise:
• provisions for employee-related restructuring costs;
• provisions for adjustments to the opening balance sheet recorded to cover shared service contractual commitments subscribed with KPMG International Group without corresponding resources, due to the progressive integration of purchased activities in Atos Origin.
Provisions for retirement benefits and similar commitments
The Group valuation policy for retirement benefits and similar commitments is in line with IAS 19.
In accordance with the recommendations detailed in this standard, a periodic valuation of these commitments is performed by independent actuarial experts using the projected unit credit method. This actuarial method notably involves a number of assumptions regarding employee turnover, salary increases and the expected future return on plan assets. The discounted present value of these commitments is then calculated using a discount rate taking account of the financial environment in the different countries concerned and multiplied by a coefficient reflecting the remaining working life of employees before payment of the benefits provided by the different regimes.
The assets allocated to finance these employee commitments are recorded at fair value and the expected yield on plan assets is determined taking into account the make-up of investments. Actuarial differences resulting from changes in assumptions, plan amendments or differences between actual and expected returns on plan assets, are amortized over the activity period or the expected remaining life of beneficiaries, in so far as they exceed the 10% corridor provided for by IAS 19. Where the value of assets allocated to the financing of regimes exceeds commitments (surplus position), the Group applies IAS 19, which seeks to limit the recognition of prepaid expenses in the balance sheet. Charges relating to defined benefit plans are expensed as incurred.

> FINANCIAL REPORT | ANNUAL REPORT 2 |
o. Debt issuance costs and bond redemption premiums
Debt issuance costs are included in deferred charges and released to the income statement on a straight-line basis over the life of the loan.
Bonds are recorded in liabilities in an amount corresponding to the issue proceeds and a provision raised over the life of the loan to cover the net-of-tax amount of the related premiums.
A provision for the redemption premium is recognized over the life of the loan for the net-of-tax-amount.
The Group has also decided to adopt the position expressed by the COB in its 1994 Annual Report and reiterated in its recommendations for the 2002 year-end closing, which consists in providing for all redemption premiums at the closing from the time the share price falls below the discounted value of the bond redemption.
p. Accounting classification of ORA bonds in the consolidated balance sheet
The bonds redeemable in shares (ORA bonds) issued on the acquisition of KPMG Consulting in the United Kingdom and The Netherlands by Atos Origin are recorded in shareholders’ equity in accordance with French accounting rules and due, primarily, to the absence of any remuneration and the suppression of the escape clause. On August 16th, 2003, shares will be automatically and irrevocably issued to redeem these bonds.
q. Financial Instruments
The Group uses various financial instruments to hedge against foreign exchange and interest rate risks. All hedging instruments are traded with leading banks.
Foreign exchange risks are hedged using forward contracts and currency swaps and interest rate risks using standard interest rate swap agreements.
Hedging gains and losses are matched against the loss or gain on the hedged item.
r. Revenue
Revenue corresponds to the proceeds from sales of services and equipment carried out by fully consolidated companies in the normal course of business. The Group therefore is in line with IAS 11.
Consulting and Systems Integration Division revenue from fixed-price contracts is recognized in line with the technical completion of projects. When income from fixed-price contracts to develop individual applications or integrated systems is recorded over the course of several fiscal years, it is recognized using the percentage completion method. The excess of costs over billings is recorded in the balance sheet under ‘Accounts and notes receivable — trade’ and the excess of billings over costs under ‘Deferred income’.
Managed Services Division revenue is generally determined based on a fixed-price and/or a number of IT work units.
On-line services Division revenue largely corresponds to transaction volumes and IT services rendered.
s. Net income on ordinary activities
Net income on ordinary activities comprises the results of operations and financing transactions of the various Group business lines and any write-downs of non-consolidated participating interests.
t. Non-recurring items
Non-recurring items include income and expenses relating to events or operations clearly outside the ordinary activities of the Group due to their nature, amount or unusual occurrence.
u. Corporate Income Tax
The tax charge recorded in the Income Statement is the total of the current and deferred tax charge.
The Group accounts for deferred tax using the liability method on all temporary differences between the book value and tax base of assets and liabilities recorded in the consolidated balance sheet, with the exception of goodwill and the undistributed earnings of consolidated companies. The deferred tax charge is not discounted to present value. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are netted off at taxable entity level.
Deferred tax assets corresponding to temporary differences and tax loss carryforwards are recognized in the accounts and a provision raised where the likelihood of realization of taxable profits at tax entity level is considered low based on available historical and forecast information. The accounting policy adopted by the Group is consistent with IAS 12 ‘Income Taxes’.
v. Earnings per share
Earnings per share (basic and diluted) is calculated by dividing net income before or after amortization of goodwill by:
• | the weighted average number of shares in issue during the period (basic earnings per share); | |
• | the weighted average number of shares in issue during the period, plus the number of shares that could be issued as a result of the exercise in full of all convertible securities outstanding (diluted earnings per share). |

In October 1, 2000, the company made a number of fair value accounting adjustments to the opening balance sheet of Origin. Provisions were charged against equity to cover long-term software license commitments for which there was no corresponding business, commercial disputes, litigation and claims as well as previously identified employee-related and tax contingencies and losses to completion on fixed-price contracts. These provisions were increased by a further EUR 15 million in 2001, based on our final assessment of those contingencies. EUR 69 million was charged against these provisions in the period. In fiscal 2002 they were utilized in the amount of EUR 15.5 million and released in the amount of EUR 17.1 million in respect of provisions no longer required (EUR 6.8 million — nil impact on consolidated net income) and translation differences (EUR 10.3 million). Provisions of EUR 1.8 million were transferred to operating liabilities At December 31st, 2002, the majority of the EUR 41 million balance related to commitments to purchase excess software licenses over a residual 5-year period and to employee and tax contingencies yet to be settled.

They covered the cost of implementing restructuring plan including significant staff reductions, the rationalization of premises and data processing facilities, and discontinuing or disposing of a number of loss-making and non-core activities. In 2001, EUR 121 million was charged against these provisions to finance the cost of restructuring in the period, while EUR 14 million of restructuring provisions was accounted for as operating activities to cover restructuring engaged at the closing 2001 and utilized in 2002. During 2002, EUR 14 million was used and EUR 4 million was recognized in operating liabilities and will be utilized in the first half of 2003.

The operating provisions essentially concern restructuring unrelated to the Atos Origin merger and the Atos KPMG Consulting acquisition, project commitments, the convertible bond redemption premiums, and various contingencies and losses. The increase in operating provisions in fiscal 2002 is mainly due to identified over-capacity. Other provisions remained stable.

The Atos Origin Group offers its employees several post-retirement benefits and benefits contingent on the accumulation of a number of years service within the Group. These include defined benefit pension schemes and retirement termination payments.
The terms and conditions of these schemes (services. financing and asset investment policy) vary according to applicable legislation and regulations within each country.
The EUR 109.4 million provision primarily covers the following countries:
– | The Netherlands, | |
– | Germany, | |
– | Italy (Leaving service), | |
– | France (retirement termination payments). |
The largest commitments concern entities located in the United Kingdom and The Netherlands. where Group employee pensions are primarily assured by separate legal entity pension funds. jointly administered by employees and management. Commitments are funded by employer and employee contributions and the return obtained on plan assets. generally invested in shares and bonds. The solvency of the fund is monitored by local regulators and is reviewed as part of periodic actuarial valuations aimed at ensuring that contribution levels are sufficient to cover services.
Certain other Group entities, primarily in France and Germany, offer complementary pension schemes aimed at increasing expected services provided by mandatory schemes. together with retirement termination payments and long-service bonuses provided for by industry-wide collective bargaining agreements. The Group took into account the 2002 amendment to the limitations provided for in IAS 19 on the recognition of prepaid expenses in the balance sheet, when the value of assets allocated to financing pension regimes (increased by any unrecognized actuarial losses) exceed pension commitments.

All borrowings are denominated in euros.
Convertible bonds (1999-2004)
In June 1999 Atos carried out a EUR 172.5 million convertible bond issue, represented by 1,440,501 bonds with a nominal value of EUR 119.8.
The bonds pay interest at 1% per year.
They are redeemable at any time after October 1st, 2002, at the issuers initiative, with a redemption premium of EUR 11.60 or on October 1st, 2004 at a price of EUR 131.4, representing a yield to maturity of 2.75%.

• | the book value of the syndicated loan, | |
• | the market value of the convertible bonds. |
The net book value of the syndicated loan and the convertible bonds as of December 31st, 2002 represent an amount of EUR 798 million.
Derivatives
The Group uses standard interest rate swap contracts entered into with leading banks in the management of its borrowings. As of December 31st, 2002, Atos Origin held a hedge contract in the amount of EUR 338 million, covering that part of the syndicated loan drawn down at this date.
The average fixed rate of interest guaranteed by swaps entered into during fiscal years 2001 and 2002 exceeds that available on financial markets as of December 31st, 2002.
The market value of these swaps applied to the residual term of the contracts would represent a loss for Atos Origin of EUR 7.3 million as of December 31st, 2002, if the Group decided to unwind the swaps. This valuation only concerns derivatives with a residual period to maturity of more than 1 year.
2. | Management of counterpart risks |
The Group has a strict policy of analyzing counterpart risks. The Group manages the counterpart risks relating to its commercial activities by maintaining a diversified customer portfolio and using risk monitoring instruments. The Group controls the counterpart risk relating to its investments and market transactions by rigorously selecting a range of leading, diversified bank counterparts. As such, the Group considers its exposure to credit risk to be minimal.
3. | Exposure to market risk |
Exposure to foreign exchange risk
The Group’s monetary assets comprise loans and borrowings, transferable securities and cash at bank and in hand. Monetary liabilities comprise borrowings, operating and other liabilities. A large part of Group commercial and financial transactions are Euro denominated.
The Group has implemented a foreign exchange management policy covering positions resulting from commercial and financial transactions performed in currencies other than the Euro. The Group is primarily exposed to movements in the GBP and USD. This policy involves the hedging of all foreign currency invoices once the transaction commitment becomes firm. The Group uses forward contracts and foreign exchange swaps for hedging purposes.
Exposure to interest rate risk
This encompasses two types of risk:
• | a price risk in risk of fixed-rate financial assets and liabilities. For example, by contracting a fixed-rate liability, the Company is exposed to opportunity risk should interest rates fall. A change in interest rates would impact the market value of fixed-rate financial assets and liabilities but would not impact financial income and expenses and, as such, future net income of the Company up to maturity of these assets and liabilities. | |
• | a cash-flow risk in risk of floating-rate financial assets and liabilities. The Group does not believe that a change in interest rates would have a material impact on the value of floating-rate financial assets and liabilities. |
Taking into account hedging instruments contracted by the Group as of December 31st, 2002, borrowings exposed to interest rate risk at this date total EUR 341 million.
An increase in interest rates of approximately 100 base points would have increased the 2002 interest expense by EUR 3.4 million.
If the Group had not contracted these interest rate hedges, the 2002 interest expense would have been lower by EUR 1.4 million.

b. Other commitments
Atos Origin undertook to issue common stock on the exercise of the unattached stock subscription warrants allotted to Royal Philips Electronics in consideration for the transfer of Origin stock. The warrants fell into two categories, conferring entitlement to subscribe for one Atos Origin share.
ATOS ORIGIN ANNUAL REPORT 200245
2 ANNUAL REPORT | > FINANCIAL REPORT |
The first warrant category was not exercised.
The second warrant category (category B) could be exercised if the weighted average daily stock market price of the Atos Origin share over 12 consecutive stock market sessions during a period ending June 30th, 2003 exceeds EUR 208.
c. Claims and litigation
In recent years, certain Group companies have been subject to tax audits.
In addition, Atos Origin Brazil has been challenged by the Brazilian employee welfare agency as to the amount of contributions due. Provisions have been recorded for the claims; nevertheless the Group considers that it has sound arguments to successfully contest the proposed reassessments.
With respect to commercial transactions, Management has implemented a strict action plan in view of promoting service quality and avoiding claims and litigation. In this regard, the volume of litigation as of December 31st, 2002, has decreased by more than 50% compared to last year. Further to such measures, the number of new claims and litigation during the year 2002 is considerably below last year’s level. For the current existing claims and litigation, Management is not aware of any claims or litigation likely to have a material impact on the results or assets of the Group that are not adequately provided in the balance sheet as at December 31st, 2002.
At this date, provisions recorded by the Group to cover identified disputes total EUR 29.5 million.
d. Other risks
Industrial and environmental risks
As the Group is a service provider it is not exposed to any material environmental risks.
Other specific risks
-Suppliers | ||
Atos Origin is not, in its opinion, dependent on one or more suppliers as it has alliances and global industrial agreements with many major suppliers. | ||
-Customers | ||
The five largest customers in fiscal year 2002 generated 34% of Group revenue. The Group’s 42 largest customer accounts represent more than 55% of revenue. Excluding Philips, which now represents less than 14%, KPN 10% and Euronext 6%, no single customer generated more than 3% of total Atos Origin revenue in 2002. | ||
-Employee-related risks | ||
Employee management within the Group is a priority for the Management Board. The close attention paid to human resource issues limits considerably any employee-related risks. | ||
-Legal risks | ||
As the activity of Atos Origin is centered on Consulting, Systems Integration, and IT Managed Services, legal risks primarily lie in the non-performance of contractual obligations. Potential liability could thus arise from delays or deficiencies in providing a service. |
The services are, however, largely reliant on the quality of information provided by clients, who have in-house IT experts and must therefore assist the service provider for the performance of services. Accordingly, all Atos Origin contracts contain limitation of liability clauses and require, where necessary, guarantees with respect to intellectual and industrial property right infringement from its software providers.
-Insurance and risk coverage | ||
The Company has taken out a number of third-party liability insurance policies with highly-reputed international companies providing it with a level of coverage considered adequate by Executive Management. |
Given the levels of its contractual commitments, the Group subscribed various policies over 2002 covering general and professional liability for a total exceeding MEUR 100. However, because of constant premium increases and the reduction of the coverage scope by insurers, the Group has set up an alternative insurance structure and implemented higher deductibles, while enforcing a stricter contractual liability limitation together with an improved service quality.
In addition, the Company’s assets are covered by a property damage policy, including coverage for business interruption, for all countries where it operates, providing total coverage of EUR 122 million.
Finally, fraud and computer-related abuse are the subject of a specific coverage, including coverage for business interruption.
