NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
In the opinion of management, the financial information furnished
herein reflects all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of
the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the
interim periods specified. These adjustments consist only of normal
recurring accruals. Because of seasonal and other factors, results
for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to
be expected for the full year.
a. The following table shows how earnings per share were computed for the
three and nine months ended September 30, 2001 and 2000 (dollars in millions,

the option prices are above the average market price of the company's common
stock.

b. Effective January 1, 2001, the company adopted Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 133 "Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities." This statement establishes accounting
and reporting standards for derivative instruments and hedging activities.
SFAS No. 133 requires a company to recognize all derivatives as either assets
or liabilities in the statement of financial position and measure those
instruments at fair value. Derivatives that are not hedges must be adjusted
to fair value through income. If the derivative is a hedge, depending on the
nature of the hedge, changes in the fair value of derivatives are either
offset against the change in fair value of assets, liabilities, or firm
commitments through earnings or recognized in other comprehensive income
until the hedged item is recognized in earnings. The ineffective portion of
a derivative's change in fair value will be immediately recognized in
earnings. The cumulative effect of the change in accounting principle due to
the adoption of SFAS No. 133 resulted in the recognition of income of $3.3
million (net of $1.8 million of tax) in other comprehensive income.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations.
Overview
--------
During the third quarter of 2001, the company continued to face a very
challenging economic environment, with economic uncertainty compounded by the
events of September 11, 2001. Nevertheless, the company managed its business
profitably in the quarter, primarily through tight controls on expenses and
actions taken to strengthen its balance sheet and reduce interest expense.
In this economic environment, the company saw its customers, particularly in
airlines and travel, financial services, and communications, delay planned IT
decisions. This resulted, late in the quarter, in a sharp falloff in demand in
key areas of the company's business, particularly high-end enterprise servers
and networking and systems integration projects. Given the global economic
uncertainty and the impact it has had on demand for the company's products and
services, the company plans to take additional actions in the fourth quarter of
2001 to further reduce its cost structure. The company expects to take an
estimated pre-tax charge of $200 million in the fourth quarter of 2001 to cover
a workforce reduction of approximately 3,000 people and other actions. Included
in the charge is an early retirement incentive for certain eligible groups of
U.S. employees. At the same time, the company plans to continue to invest in
enhancing its skills mix in services and funding further development and
marketing of its high-end, CMP-based servers.
Results of Operations
---------------------
The following discussion of results of operations compares the results for the
three and nine months ended September 30, 2001 with both the as reported and pro
forma results for the comparable periods of 2000. The pro forma results exclude
low-margin commodity hardware business that the company has de-emphasized as a
result of its focus on higher value-added business areas. For the three and
nine months ended September 30, 2000, financial highlights on an as reported and
on a pro forma basis are as follows (in millions of dollars, except per share
data):

For the three months ended September 30, 2001, the company reported net income
of $20.9 million, or $.07 per diluted share, compared to $42.9 million, or $.14
per diluted share, for the three months ended September 30, 2000.
Total revenue for the quarter ended September 30, 2001 was $1.38 billion, down
19% from revenue of $1.69 billion for the quarter ended September 30, 2000.
The decrease in revenue was principally due to lower sales of commodity products
(discussed above) and enterprise servers. Excluding the negative impact of
9
foreign currency translations, revenue in the quarter was down 15% when compared
to the year-ago period. When compared to pro forma revenue of $1.46 billion for
the third quarter of 2000, revenue for the current quarter decreased 6% (1% on a
constant currency basis).
Total gross profit was 27.6% in the third quarter of 2001 compared to 28.1% in
the year-ago period, principally due to a lower mix of higher-margin products
and services than in the year-ago quarter as well as pricing pressures.
For the three months ended September 30, 2001, selling, general and
administrative expenses were $262.7 million (19.1% of revenue) compared to
$320.1 million (18.9% of revenue) for the three months ended September 30, 2000.
The decrease reflected tight controls placed on discretionary spending during
the quarter as well as the benefits of the restructuring actions announced in
the fourth quarter of 2000.
For the third quarter of 2001, the company reported an operating income percent
of 3.2% compared to 4.6% (5.4% on a pro forma basis) for the third quarter of
2000.

In the Services segment, customer revenue was $1.05 billion, down 12% from $1.20
billion in the year-ago period, principally due to a decline in proprietary
maintenance and lower sales of commodity products. The gross profit percent
declined to 20.8% in the current quarter compared to 21.6% in the prior-year
period, principally reflecting the startup of large outsourcing contracts, and a
lower mix of higher-margin proprietary maintenance revenue in the quarter.
Operating income percent increased to 2.2% in the current quarter from 1.5% last
year, principally due to a decline in selling, general and administrative
expenses. Customer revenue in the Services segment was flat in the current
quarter compared to pro forma revenue in the year-ago quarter.
In the Technology segment, customer revenue declined 34% to $325 million in the
third quarter of 2001 from $491 million in the prior-year period, principally
due to declines in enterprise server revenue and lower commodity hardware sales.
The gross profit percent was 42.1% in the current quarter compared to 38.9% in
the prior period, reflecting lower sales of low-margin commodity hardware
products in the current quarter. Operating profit in this segment was 7.5% in
the current quarter compared to 9.8% in 2000. Customer revenue in the
Technology segment declined 21% in the current period from pro forma revenue in
the year-ago period.
Interest expense for the three months ended September 30, 2001 was $16.5 million
compared to $18.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2000.
Other income (expense), net, which can vary from quarter to quarter, was income
of $3.9 million in the current quarter compared to income of $6.4 million in the
year-ago quarter.
Income before income taxes was $31.2 million in the third quarter of 2001
compared to $65.0 million last year. The provision for income taxes was $10.3
million in the current period (33% effective rate)compared to $22.1 million in
the year-ago period (34% effective rate). The decline in the effective tax rate
was principally due to tax planning strategies.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2001, net income was $102.3 million, or
$.32 per diluted share, compared to net income of $185.9 million, or $.59 per
diluted share, last year. Both periods include an extraordinary item for the
early extinguishment of debt: $17.2 million, or $.05 per share, for the nine
months ended September 30, 2001, and $19.8 million, or $.06 per share, for the
nine months ended September 30, 2000. Excluding these items, income in the
current period was $119.5 million, or $.37 per share, compared to $205.7
million, or $.65 per share, in the year-ago period.
In September 2000, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 140, "Accounting for
Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities."
This statement revises the accounting standards for securitizations and other
transfers of financial assets and collateral and requires certain disclosures.
This statement is effective for transfers and servicing of financial assets
occurring after March 31, 2001. Adoption of SFAS No. 140 had no effect on the
company's consolidated financial position, consolidated results of operations,
or liquidity.
In June 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141, "Business Combinations," and No.
142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets." SFAS No. 141 requires that the
purchase method of accounting be used for all business combinations initiated
after June 30, 2001 and prohibits the use of the pooling-of-interests method.
SFAS No. 141 also includes guidance on the initial recognition and measurement
of goodwill and other intangible assets acquired in a business combination that
is completed after June 30, 2001. SFAS No. 142 no longer permits the
amortization of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets. Instead, these
assets must be reviewed annually for impairment in accordance with this
statement. The company is required to adopt SFAS No. 142 effective January 1,
2002. In anticipation of adoption, the company reclassified certain items in
its financial statements and disclosed the amount of goodwill as a separate line
item in its balance sheet. An initial impairment test must be performed in 2002
as of January 1, 2002. An impairment charge, if any, from this initial test
will be reported as a change in accounting principle. The company is currently
11
assessing the impact that these statements will have on its consolidated
financial position, consolidated results of operations or liquidity. However,
the company anticipates that all amortization of goodwill as a charge to
earnings (approximately $17 million yearly) will be eliminated.
Financial Condition
-------------------
Cash and cash equivalents at September 30, 2001 were $219.7 million compared to
$378.0 million at December 31, 2000.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2001, cash used for operations was
$64.7 million compared to a cash usage of $72.7 million for the nine months
ended September 30, 2000, principally reflecting an improvement in working
capital management, mainly a higher level of advance payments under long-term
contracts. Cash expenditures in the nine months ended September 30, 2001
related to prior-year restructuring charges (which are included in operating
activities) were $41 million compared to $15 million for the prior-year period,
and are expected to be approximately $10 million for the remainder of 2001 and
$18 million in total for all subsequent years, principally for work-force
reductions and facility costs. Personnel reductions in the nine months ended
September 30, 2001 related to prior-year restructuring actions were
approximately 678 and are expected to be approximately 211 for the remainder of
the year.
Cash used for investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2001
was $227.9 million compared to $182.6 million during the nine months ended
September 30, 2000 principally due to lower net proceeds from investments. The
prior-year period included $27.5 million for the termination of a euro swap in
proceeds from investments.
Cash provided by financing activities during the first nine months of 2001 was
$130.7 million compared to cash provided of $37.8 million in the prior year.
The current period includes net proceeds from issuance of long-term debt of
$389.9 million and payments of long-term debt of $354.3 million, as described
below. Included in the prior period were payments of long-term debt of $447.2
million and net proceeds of $442.5 million from short-term borrowings.
At September 30, 2001, total debt was $894.6 million, an increase of $132.0
million from December 31, 2000.
In May and August 2001, the company issued $350 million and $50 million,
respectively of 8 1/8% senior notes due 2006. In June 2001, the company
completed a cash tender offer for $319.2 million principal amount of its 11 3/4%
senior notes due 2004. As a result of the tender, the company recorded an
extraordinary after-tax charge of $17.2 million, net of $9.3 million tax
benefit, or $.05 per diluted share, in the second quarter of 2001 for the
premium paid, unamortized debt-related expenses and transaction costs of the
tender offer. On October 15, 2001, the company redeemed the remaining $14.9
million outstanding 11 3/4% senior notes due 2004 at 103.917% of par.
In March 2001, the company entered into a new three-year $450 million unsecured
credit agreement, which replaced the $400 million three-year facility that was
to expire in June 2001. As of September 30, 2001, $150.0 million was borrowed
under this agreement at a rate of 4.6%. In addition, $20.0 million was borrowed
under unsecured U.S. credit lines at a rate of 3.1%.
In April 2000, the company redeemed all of its $399.5 million outstanding
12% senior notes. The redemption was funded through a combination of cash and
short-term borrowings. In March 2000, the company entered into an additional
$150 million credit agreement expiring April 2001 for the purpose of funding
this redemption. On April 12, 2001, the then outstanding balance was repaid at
maturity and the agreement expired.
The company may, from time to time, redeem, tender for, or repurchase its debt
securities in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions depending
upon availability, market conditions, and other factors.
12
The company has on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission an effective
registration statement covering $300 million of debt or equity securities, which
enables the company to be prepared for future market opportunities.
At September 30, 2001, the company had deferred tax assets in excess of deferred
tax liabilities of $1,301 million. For the reasons cited below, management
determined that it is more likely than not that $992 million of such assets will
be realized, therefore resulting in a valuation allowance of $309 million.
The company evaluates quarterly the realizability of its deferred tax assets
and adjusts the amount of the related valuation allowance, if necessary. The
factors used to assess the likelihood of realization are the company's forecast
of future taxable income, and available tax planning strategies that could be
implemented to realize deferred tax assets. Approximately $3.0 billion of future
taxable income (predominantly U.S.) is needed to realize all of the net deferred
tax assets. Failure to achieve forecasted taxable income might affect the
ultimate realization of the net deferred tax assets. See "Factors that may
affect future results" below.
Stockholders' equity increased $80.3 million during the nine months ended
September 30, 2001, principally reflecting net income of $102.3 million, $40.1
million for issuance of stock under stock option and other plans and $4.1
million of tax benefits related to employee stock plans, offset in part by
currency translation of $66.3 million.
Conversion to the Euro Currency
-------------------------------
On January 1, 1999, certain member countries of the European Union established
fixed conversion rates between their existing currencies and the European
Union's common currency (the "euro"). The transition period for the
introduction of the euro began on January 1, 1999. The company is addressing
the issues involved with the introduction of the euro. The more important
issues facing the company include converting information technology systems,
reassessing currency risk, and negotiating and amending agreements.
Based on progress to date, the company believes that the use of the euro will
not have a significant impact on the manner in which it conducts its business.
Accordingly, conversion to the euro is not expected to have a material effect
on the company's consolidated financial position, consolidated results of
operations, or liquidity.
Factors That May Affect Future Results
--------------------------------------
From time to time, the company provides information containing "forward-looking"
statements, as defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.
All forward-looking statements rely on assumptions and are subject to risks,
uncertainties, and other factors that could cause the company's actual results
to differ materially from expectations. In addition to changes in general
economic and business conditions, acts of war, terrorism and natural disasters,
these include, but are not limited to, the factors discussed below.
The company operates in an industry characterized by aggressive competition,
rapid technological change, evolving technology standards, and short product
life cycles.
Future operating results will depend on the company's ability to design,
develop, introduce, deliver, or obtain new products and services on a timely
and cost-effective basis; on its ability to succeed in the high-end information
technology services segment; on its ability to effectively manage the shift in
its technology business into higher growth, standards-based server products; on
its ability to mitigate the effects of competitive pressures and volatility in
the information technology and services industry on revenues, pricing and
margins; and on its ability to successfully attract and retain highly skilled
people. In addition, future operating results could be impacted by market
demand for and acceptance of the company's service and product offerings.
13
A number of the company's contracts are long-term contracts for network
services, outsourcing, help desk and similar services, for which volumes are
not guaranteed. Future results will depend upon the company's ability to meet
performance levels over the terms of these contracts.
Certain of the company's systems integration contracts are fixed-price contracts
under which the company assumes the risk for delivery of the contracted services
at an agreed-upon price. Future results will depend on the company's ability to
profitably perform these services contracts and bid and obtain new contracts.
The company frequently enters into contracts with governmental entities.
Associated risks and uncertainties include the availability of appropriated
funds and contractual provisions allowing governmental entities to terminate
agreements in their discretion before the end of their terms.
The company has commercial relationships with suppliers, channel partners and
other parties that have complementary products, services, or skills. Future
results will depend in part on the performance and capabilities of these third
parties. Future results will also depend upon the ability of external suppliers
to deliver components at reasonable prices and in a timely manner and on the
financial condition of, and the company's relationship with, distributors and
other indirect channel partners.
Approximately 57% of the company's total revenue derives from international
operations. The risk of doing business internationally includes foreign
currency exchange rate fluctuations, changes in political or economic
conditions, trade protection measures, and import or export licensing
requirements.
