AND SUBSIDIARIES Comments to Financial Statements Earnings used to calculate both basic and diluted earnings per share are the reported earnings in the Company's consolidated statement of earnings. Because of the Company's capital structure, all reported earnings pertain to common shareholders and no other assumed adjustments are necessary. The number of shares used to calculate basic and diluted earnings per share for the first quarter ended March 31, 1999 and 1998 was determined as follows: 1999 1998 ---------- ---------- Basic ----- Average shares outstanding 19,045,691 19,923,652 Restricted shares issued not vested (40,528) (49,400) ---------- ---------- 19,005,163 19,874,252 ========== ========== Diluted ------- Shares used for basic 19,005,163 19,874,252 Dilutive effect of stock options 21,062 95,655 Dilutive effect of restricted shares issued not vested 1,354 4,137 Dilutive effect of shares issuable under Management Stock Purchase Plan 20,479 - ---------- ---------- 19,048,058 19,974,044 ========== ========== Operating segment data for the first quarter ended March 31, 1999 and 1998 follows ($000s): 1999 1998 ------- ------- Revenues: Information Technology Services $ 84,214 75,459 Technical Services 226,642 226,756 Management Recruiters 25,844 26,631 Todays Staffing 52,421 49,920 ------- ------- $ 389,121 378,766 ======= ======= 7 1999 1998 ------- ------- Earnings from continuing operations before income taxes and minority interests: Operating profit Information Technology Services $ 5,611 4,713 Technical Services 11,074 8,941 Management Recruiters 4,411 5,179 Todays Staffing 3,209 2,540 Corporate expenses (4,005) (3,611) ------- ------- 20,300 17,762 Interest expense 427 6 ------- ------- $ 19,873 17,756 ======= ======= Intersegment activity is not significant. Therefore, revenues reported for each operating segment is substantially all from external customers. The Company's total assets increased approximately $36 million from December 31, 1998 to March 31, 1999. Approximately $13 million of that increase was in Information Technology Services and $15 million was in Technical Services. During the quarter ended March 31, 1999, the Company completed acquisitions in which it invested $9,403,000. These acquisitions were accounted for using the purchase method. Assets acquired totaled approximately $10 million including $6 million of goodwill. These acquisitions did not have a significant effect on the results of operations for the quarter ended March 31, 1999. During the quarter ended March 31, 1999, there were 20,000 shares of common stock issued upon the exercise of stock options granted under the Company's Non-Qualified Stock Option and Stock Appreciation Rights Plan. As a result of the option exercises, common stock and additional paid-in capital were increased by $2,000 and $310,000, respectively. During the quarter ended March 31, 1999, 3,612 shares of restricted common stock issued in 1997 vested and 3,803 shares related to performance-based vesting did not vest and were forfeited. The vesting of the shares resulted in additional paid-in capital decreasing by $10,000 because of income tax effects related to the vesting. The forfeited shares were put in treasury increasing treasury stock by $87,000 and decreasing unamortized value of restricted stock issued by the same amount. Also during the quarter, additional paid-in capital and unamortized value of restricted stock issued were each increased by $70,000 for market price changes related to the shares that will vest based upon performance. In addition, unamortized value of restricted stock issued was decreased by $87,000 for charges to earnings associated with the amortization of the value of the restricted shares. 8 As of March 31, 1999, the loss reserve that had been established for the discontinued operations remained substantially unchanged from December 31, 1998. Net assets of the discontinued operations as of March 31, 1999 were comprised of working capital and deferred income taxes. The financial statements included in this report are unaudited and reflect all adjustments which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair statement of the results for the periods presented. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. Results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the full year. These comments contain only the information which is required by Form 10-Q. Further reference should be made to the comprehensive disclosures contained in the Company's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1998. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Results of Operations --------------------- Consolidated revenues for the first quarter ended March 31, 1999 advanced 3% over the first quarter of 1998. Operating profit margin was 5.2% of revenues for the first quarter of 1999 vs. 4.7% for the first quarter of 1998. Information Technology Services' revenues for the first quarter ended March 31, 1999 increased 12% over the first quarter of 1998. Operating profit margin for the first quarter of 1999 was 6.7% of revenues vs. 6.2% for the first quarter of 1998. In 1998 the Company reorganized the Information Technology Services and Technical Services business units to create a discrete operating unit for Information Technology Services to focus on a more diverse customer base and to increase sales of its value-added project and functional outsourcing. This reorganization is enabling Information Technology Services to focus on new and higher margin opportunities. Technical Services' revenues for the first quarter ended March 31, 1999 was essentially flat compared to the first quarter of 1998. Operating profit margin for the first quarter of 1999 was 4.9% of revenues vs. 3.9% for the first quarter of 1998. Margins improved in 1999 due to a better mix of business consistent with Technical Services focus on the development of business having higher margins. Management Recruiters' revenues for the first quarter ended March 31, 1999 declined 3% from the first quarter of 1998. Operating profit margin for the first quarter of 1999 was 17.1% of revenues vs. 19.4% for the first quarter of 1998. The first quarter of 1999 started very slowly in part attributable to Management Recruiters having completed several large search contracts in 1998 which were not replaced. 9 While the revenue decline was 3% first quarter vs. first quarter, the reduction compared to third and fourth quarters of 1998 was more significant. The fixed support costs introduced into the segment as it grew during 1998 adversely impacted operating results in the first quarter when revenues fell off. Management Recruiters' first quarter 1999 results include $393,000 in after-tax operating profit related to the settlement of a dispute with a franchisee. Todays Staffing revenues for the first quarter ended March 31, 1999 increased 5% over the first quarter of 1998. Operating profit margin for the first quarter of 1999 was 6.1% of revenues vs. 5.1% for the first quarter of 1998. Todays Staffing benefitted from continuing demand for its services, from its targeted geographic expansion into major metropolitan areas and from increasing its higher margin legal and financial staffing business. As of March 31, 1999 the loss reserve that had been established for the discontinued operations remained substantially unchanged from December 31, 1998. Negotiations to settle a disputed receivable that is fully reserved are continuing and may result in some recovery. Year 2000 --------- Many existing computer systems use two digits to identify a year with the assumption that the first two digits of a year are "19." With the year 2000 approaching, computer systems that are not Year 2000 compliant will read the year 2000 as 1900 and malfunction. The Company's program to assess the extent of issues related to Year 2000 compliance and to develop and implement solutions for those issues is being directed by senior management with the Company's Chief Information Officer having primary responsibility for the coordination, remediation and implementation efforts. Designated personnel at the Company's headquarters and at each of the Company's operating locations have been assigned Year 2000 compliance responsibilities. The program is focused on internal information technology systems, computer-aided design systems, non-IT systems (purchased systems with embedded logic chips), facilities and the status of compliance by larger customers, suppliers and other key third parties. The program involves the following phases: Inventory Assessment and planning Remediation or replacement and testing Implementation The internal IT systems compliance issues are most critical and relate to the Company's financial systems, computer networks and communications systems and personnel recruiting and human resource systems. Corporate level personnel have responsibility to insure that these systems will be Year 2000 compliant as well as determining the status of compliance by larger customers, suppliers and other key third parties. 10 Year 2000 compliance related to internal financial systems is being addressed in two ways. First, the Company is replacing its primary financial system with a state-of-the-art integrated enterprise-wide system. The new system will provide enhanced processing, control and reporting capabilities. The new system, currently in pilot, will be Year 2000 compliant and is expected to be fully operational in the fourth quarter, 1999. Second, the existing primary system and other satellite systems are being evaluated for Year 2000 compliance and required remediation, testing and implementation are underway. These efforts are scheduled to be concluded by mid-1999. A Company-wide expansion and upgrade of its computer networks and communications systems has been underway since mid-1997. The roll out and implementation of the new platform, which is Year 2000 compliant, is scheduled to be completed in the second quarter, 1999. Personnel recruiting and human resource systems are being replaced by new systems which were developed prior to the end of 1997. These new systems are Year 2000 compliant and are in the process of being installed in the operating locations. The roll-out is scheduled to be completed during the second quarter, 1999 in the U.S. and Canada and during the third quarter, 1999 overseas. With respect to larger customers, suppliers and other key third parties, questionnaire surveys have been distributed for use in assessing their state of compliance in order to develop plans in case of non-compliance. Customers with whom there is electronic interchange of data are of primary focus to ensure that both the Company and those customers are Year 2000 compliant with the standards established for such interchange. The approximate status for each of these areas follows: Remediation Implementation Assessment or and and replacement projected Inventory planning and testing completion ------------- ------------- ------------- -------------- Financial Substantially Substantially Approximately systems complete complete 80% complete Q4, 1999 Computer networks and communi- cations Substantially Substantially Substantially systems complete complete complete Q2, 1999 Personnel recruit- ing and human resource Substantially Substantially Substantially systems complete complete complete Q3, 1999 11 Remediation Implementation Assessment or and and replacement projected Inventory planning and testing completion ------------- ------------- ------------- -------------- Larger Substantially Approximately Not customers complete 80% complete applicable Q2, 1999 Larger suppliers and Substantially Approximately Not others complete 70% complete applicable Q2, 1999 The responsibility for identifying, assessing compliance issues and then implementing solutions for computer-aided design systems, non-IT systems, facilities and the status of compliance by local suppliers and third parties rests primarily with each operating office. Solutions for Year 2000 issues related to computer-aided design systems, non-IT systems and facilities will, of necessity, come from vendors and others providing the related services. The Company, however, needs to identify compliance issues and insure that remediation or replacement is accomplished. With respect to local suppliers and third parties, the Company has also distributed questionnaire surveys in order to assess their state of compliance in order to develop plans in case of non- compliance. The identification and assessment process is well underway with the expectation that solutions will be in place by second quarter, 1999. The cost of the Company's Year 2000 program is expected to be approximately $2 million, all of which will be charged against operations. This amount does not include costs associated with the new financial system or the new personnel recruiting and human resource systems described above. These systems already were scheduled for implementation and their implementation was not accelerated because of Year 2000 issues. As of March 31, 1999 approximately $1.7 million has been spent on the Year 2000 program, most of which relates to the remediation effort associated with the existing financial systems. Expenditures through March 31, 1999 on the new financial system and the new personnel recruiting and human resource systems were $15.5 million. It is anticipated that an additional $3 million will be invested in these new systems during the remainder of 1999. The Company believes that its program to address Year 2000 compliance is on schedule for completion before the end of 1999. However, there can be no assurance that there will be no material impact as a result of Year 2000 issues, particularly considering the dependence and interdependence that exists with third parties and that resources for remediation and replacement may not be available in the time frame required. Since the Company has a greater level of control over implementing solutions to Year 2000 issues relating to its internal systems, it is more likely that adverse impacts on the Company could originate with third parties rather than with the Company's 12 inability to have its internal systems Year 2000 compliant. If issues related to internal systems or those related to third parties are not resolved before the end of 1999, the consequences to the Company would be material. The Company has not developed a most reasonably likely worst case Year 2000 scenario. The Company will determine the extent to which contingency plans are required by mid-1999. Financial Condition ------------------- The ratio of current assets to current liabilities was 2.2 to 1 as of March 31, 1999 compared to 2.3 to 1 as of December 31, 1998. The ratio of long-term debt to total capital (long-term debt plus shareholders' equity) was 13% as of March 31, 1999 and December 31, 1998. During the quarter ended March 31, 1999, the Company completed acquisitions in which it invested $9,403,000. These acquisitions were accounted for using the purchase method. Assets acquired totaled approximately $10 million including $6 million of goodwill. These acquisitions did not have a significant effect on the results of operations for the quarter ended March 31, 1999. The Company believes that capital resources available from operations and financing arrangements are adequate to support the Company s businesses. New Accounting Standards ------------------------ In June, 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. Statement No. 133 establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments and for hedging activities and is effective for years beginning after June 15, 1999. The Company will determine the extent to which Statement No. 133 applies and adopt the standards established as required. Currently the Company has no derivative or hedging activities.
