Basic earnings per share has been computed based on the weighted average
number of common shares outstanding during the applicable period. Diluted
earnings per share includes the number of shares issuable upon exercise of stock
options, less the number of shares that could have been repurchased with the
exercise proceeds, using the treasury stock method.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
OVERVIEW.
The Company is a leading international provider of education for employees of
companies which are implementing business information technology. The Company
provides customized change communications, education and performance support
services designed to maximize its clients' returns on their substantial
investments in business information technology.
Recognizing the global nature of its existing and prospective client base
the Company has built a substantial international presence. The Company is
currently organized into three divisions: the Americas Division, which includes
its North, South, and Central America operations; the EMEA Division, which
includes its Europe, Middle East, and Africa operations; and the Asia Pacific
Division, which includes its Australia and Asia operations.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1998 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1999
Revenue. Revenue increased by $9.5 million, or 65.4%, from $14.6 million in
the first quarter of 1998 to $24.1 million in the first quarter of 1999,
reflecting increases both in volume of services and in rates. Revenues from the
Americas Division increased by 66.6% from $9.1 million to $15.2 million;
revenues from the EMEA Division increased by 86.6% from $3.9 million to $7.2
million; and revenues from the Asia Pacific Division increased by 8.8% from $1.6
million to $1.8 million. The Company ended the first quarter with 913 total
employees, up from 590 employees at the end of the same period of the prior
year.
Gross profit. Gross profit increased by $5.7 million, or 83.2%, from $6.8
million in the first quarter of 1998 to $12.5 million in the first quarter of
1999 and increased as a percent of revenue from 46.9% in the first quarter of
1998 to 52.0% in the first quarter of 1999. This increase in the gross profit
margin is primarily attributable to rate increases in the Americas Division and
increased staff utilization in all Divisions and tools developed to enhance
software systems training.
Selling and marketing expense. Selling and marketing expense increased
$643,000 or 52.7%, from $1.2 million in the first quarter of 1998 to $1.9
million in the first quarter of 1999, and decreased as a percentage of revenue
from 8.4% in the first quarter of 1998 to 7.7% in the first quarter of 1999.
This decrease as a percentage of revenue is primarily attributable to increased
revenue as described above.
Development expense. Development expense increased $465,000, or 131.3%, from
$355,000 in the first quarter of 1998 to $820,000 in the first quarter of 1999,
and increased as a percent of revenue from 2.4% in the first quarter of 1998 to
3.4% in the first quarter of 1999. The increase is primarily attributable to the
Company's expansion of its service offerings and the development of proprietary
and third party technologies to be used in the education programs delivered to
its clients. The Company also increased its global technology infrastructure and
service and support group, which allows the Company to rapidly deploy and
support new services. The Company
8
expects that development expense will continue to increase in the future as the
Company continues to expand its service offerings.
General and administrative expense. General and administrative expense
increased by $3.3 million, or 78.6%, from $4.3 million in the first quarter of
1998 to $7.6 million in the first quarter of 1999 and increased as a percentage
of revenue from 29.3% in the first quarter of 1998 to 31.7% in the first quarter
of 1999. The increase in expense is attributable to the cost of building
administrative infrastructure including staff, systems and facilities to support
future growth. The Company incurred costs totaling $350,000 during the quarter
for the termination of employees. The charges included non-cash items of
$143,000. The costs were offset by other gains and previously established
reserves.
Operating income. Operating income increased by $1.2 million or 123.5%, from
$992,000 in the first quarter of 1998 to $2.2 million in the first quarter of
1999 and increased as a percentage of revenue from 6.8% in the first quarter of
1998 to 9.2% in the first quarter of 1999. This increase is composed of the
changes described above.
Other income (expense) net. Other income (expense), net changed from expense
of $113,000 in the first quarter of 1998 to income of $104,000 in the first
quarter of 1999. Interest (expense) income, net changed from expense of $94,000
in the first quarter of 1998 to income of $140,000 in the first quarter of 1999.
The increase in interest income is due to investment earnings from the Company's
investments of proceeds from the Public Stock Offering, which was completed in
April 1998, compared to borrowings on the Company's line of credit during the
same prior year period.
Provision for income taxes. The Company's effective tax rate was 38.0% in the
first quarter of 1998 compared to 36.8% in the first quarter of 1999. The
decrease in the effective rate is due to increased income in lower taxing
jurisdictions.
Net income. The Company's net income increased by $923,000, or 169.4%, from
$545,000 in the first quarter of 1998 to $1.5 million in the first quarter of
1999. Diluted earnings per share increased from $0.11 in the first quarter of
1998 to $0.22 in the first quarter of 1999 for reasons discussed above.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Company's cash and cash equivalents were $5.9 million at March 31, 1999,
compared to $10.0 million at December 31, 1998. The Company's working capital
was $23.7 million at March 31, 1999 and $25.6 million at December 31, 1998.
The Company's operating activities required cash of $5.0 million for the three
months ended March 31, 1999, compared to $131,000 provided by operations for the
same period in 1998. The increase in cash used in operations resulted primarily
from increased accounts receivable due to the timing of contract completions and
obtaining benchmarks on various contracts. The increase also resulted from
differences in the timing of payments of accounts payable and accrued
liabilities in the three months ended March 31, 1999, compared to the same
period in 1998. Increased accounts receivable days sales outstanding have
returned to lower levels for the quarter ended March 31, 1999 as compared to the
quarter ended March 31, 1998.
Investing activities provided cash of $1.1 million in the three months ended
March 31, 1999, compared to the use of cash of $331,000 for the same period in
1998 primarily due to sales of short term investments offset by purchases of
property and equipment.
Financing activities used cash of $407,000 for the three months ended
March 31, 1998, which primarily consisted of Public Stock Offering costs offset
by proceeds from the line of credit during that period. There were no cash flows
from financing activities for the same period in 1999.
On March 29, 1999, the Board of Directors authorized the Company to
repurchase up to 250,000 shares of its outstanding common stock. The Company
repurchased 95,000
9
shares of its own stock during the quarter ended March 31, 1999 and as of the
date of this report had purchased an additional 105,000 shares. The Company has
a $5.0 million unsecured revolving line of credit with a commercial bank, which
bears interest at the prime rate of interest plus 0.5%. The Company may utilize
this line of credit to finance a portion of its working capital needs.
During 1999, the Company plans approximately $10.0 million in capital
expenditures, primarily for office furniture, computer and office equipment and
leasehold improvements to support the anticipated growth in its professional and
administrative staff. Capital expenditures in the first quarter of 1999 were
$2.9 million, of which $1.5 million was related to the implementation costs of
the Company's primary information system.
The Company believes its current cash balances, cash from future operations,
and its revolving line of credit will be sufficient to meet the Company's
working capital and cash needs for at least the next twelve months.
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS.
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains certain statements that are not
historical facts which constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning
of the Private Securities Legislation Reform Act of 1995 which provides a safe
harbor for forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements,
including those relating to Year 2000 compliance issues, are subject to
substantial risks and uncertainties that could cause the Company's actual
results, performance or achievements to differ materially from those expressed
or implied by these forward-looking statements. When used in this Report, the
words "anticipate," "believe," "expect" and similar expressions as they relate
to the Company or its management are intended to identify such forward-looking
statements. Actual future results and trends may differ materially from
historical results as a result of certain factors, including but not limited to:
dependence on SAP AG and the ERP software market, risks associated with
management of a geographically dispersed organization, fluctuating quarterly
results, the need to attract and retain professional employees, substantial
competition, dependence on key personnel, risks associated with management of
growth, rapid technological change, limited protection of proprietary expertise,
methodologies and software, as well as those set forth in the Liquidity and
Capital Resources section of Management's Discussion and Analysis section in
the Company's final prospectus dated April 24, 1998 and Form 10-K as filed with
the Securities and Exchange Commission.
YEAR 2000 COMPLIANCE ISSUES.
Assessment: The Company has analyzed and identified the anticipated
consequences that the Year 2000 issue may have on its worldwide operations. The
major systems in use by the Company may be affected by the Year 2000 issue.
However, the Company has taken the significant steps described below toward
minimizing the risk associated with non-compliance.
Internal Project: During 1998, the Company began to implement plans to ensure
that its systems continue to meet its internal and external requirements. During
the first quarter of 1999, the Company completed the Year 2000 remediation of
its corporate headquarters and Americas division based on currently available
information. The Company expects to complete this remediation process for its
EMEA and Asia Pacific divisions in the second quarter of 1999. Implementation of
the SAP system is scheduled for completion during the third quarter of 1999.
Internal Systems: In addition to computer and software systems, the Company
recognizes that the use of internal systems such as telephone systems and other
business-related items may be affected by the Year 2000 issue. The Company is
currently addressing the potential effects and the cost to mitigate these
effects, and believes that the necessary steps can be taken to upgrade or
replace these items without a material impact on the Company's financial
position.
10
Third Parties: The Company has communicated and will continue to communicate
with third parties with which the Company does business in order to identify, to
the extent possible, the status of such parties' Year 2000 readiness. Although
these companies have confirmed that they will indeed be compliant by the Year
2000, the Company has limited or no control over the actions taken by these
third parties. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that all third parties
with which the Company does business will successfully resolve all of their Year
2000 compliance issues. The failure of these third parties to resolve their Year
2000 compliance issues could have an adverse effect on the Company. The
Company's present analysis of its worst case scenario included Year 2000
failures in the telecommunications and electricity industries that may cause
disruptions in the Company's operations, thus causing an inability to provide
services to customers and temporary financial losses.
Contingency Plan: While the Company is in the process of addressing its Year
2000 issues prior to being affected by them, there can be no assurances as to
the ultimate success of the Company's compliance efforts. Uncertainties exist as
to the Company's ability to detect all Year 2000 problems. If the progress of
its current conversion project deviates from the expected timeline, the Company
will implement its contingency plan to convert the one known existing non-
compliant financial system over a one-month period. Management believes that
current monitoring and actions provide ample response time to avoid material and
adverse effects on the Company's business and financial results, however, the
Company is unable to quantify at this time the potential effect of any customer
or Company non-compliance on the Company's business or financial results. The
Company has completed nearly 50% of its system conversions at March 31, 1999.
The total expected cost of the Company's current systems conversion is
approximately $7.8 million, including $3.3 million that has already been
expended. This conversion is not necessary in order for the Company to become
Year 2000 compliant. The cost of converting the only non-compliant system would
be nominal.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
The Company holds short-term investments which consist of variable rate
municipal debt instruments. The Company uses a sensitivity analysis technique to
evaluate the hypothetical effect that changes in market interest rates may have
on the fair value of the Company's investments. At March 31, 1999, the potential
decrease in the fair value of investments assuming a ten percent adverse change
in the market rates is not significant.
