OVERVIEW
Claremont Technology Group, Inc. ("Claremont" or the "Company"), was organized
in 1989 and provides enterprise-wide information technology ("IT") solutions
that re-engineer mission-critical business processes such as customer service,
order processing, billing and logistics. Claremont delivers its services,
including IT planning, systems integration and development and outsourcing,
through a project management methodology that can employ reusable object
oriented software modules and transferable design frameworks on a fixed-price
basis or a time and materials basis. Claremont provides solutions to large
organizations in select IT intensive, vertical markets, including
communications, financial services and pension/retirement services. Claremont's
clients consist of large corporations and government organizations in the United
States and certain foreign markets including Canada, the United Kingdom, Saudi
Arabia and New Zealand.
Claremont provides its services to organizations within industries where
technology- enabled change and re-engineering of business processes can have a
significant competitive impact. The Company's focus on opportunities within
select vertical markets is facilitated by its expertise with the particular
customer interface within these markets and its dedication to partner with
clients to co-develop large scale business solutions. The Company's clients
include: AT&T and its subsidiaries, Fred Meyer, Inc., Lucent Technologies, Ohio
State Teachers Retirement System and PacifiCorp.
INDUSTRY BACKGROUND
Organizations today face constant pressure to improve the quality of products
and services, reduce cost and time to market and improve operating efficiency
while strengthening customer relationships. To compete effectively,
organizations must improve business processes to empower the end user and must
develop internal decision-making processes and methods of exchanging information
that are more efficient and effective. Such changes mean that IT deployment
decisions are increasingly made at the senior executive level rather than at the
departmental level and are implemented across the entire organization.
Information systems and their rapid development and deployment have become a
source of strategic advantage and are increasingly mission-critical.
As IT systems have evolved to a value-added component of an organization's
strategy, the need has grown to design, develop and deploy business applications
solutions rapidly, flexibly and in a technological framework that supports
today's geographically distributed business environment. Consequently, there has
been a shift in the past few years in the computing platforms favored by large
organizations, from single-vendor legacy mainframe-based systems to open,
multi-vendor client/server computing systems, and most recently to corporate
intranets. However, the benefits of client/server and other advanced
technologies can be difficult to obtain, because designing, developing,
deploying and managing client/server systems is complex, time consuming and
costly. In addition, organizations often lack the range and depth of skills
necessary to develop these systems internally and often cannot effectively
attract and retain personnel with the required technological expertise.
2
Organizations increasingly wish to use their information systems to address
these mission-critical business processes faster and more effectively at a lower
cost. Computer information systems now often serve as the primary information
resource through which organizations serve their customers, and increasingly
serve as the organization's primary interface to its customers. Many
organizations have found that among the most compelling applications that employ
client/server technology are solutions that effectively distribute information
directly to the business end-user who services customers, or directly to the
customers themselves. Applications such as customer service, order processing,
billing, distribution and logistics directly influence an organization's ability
to generate customer satisfaction and revenue, and therefore tend to be
priorities for allocation of any organization's capital budgets in both strong
and slow economic climates.
The complexity of current technologies, the lack of sufficient in-house
resources and the competitive pressures requiring rapid implementation of new
mission-critical systems in client/server and distributed technologies, have led
to increasing demand for third-party solution providers. To meet that demand
effectively, providers of applications and systems solutions require global
reach, a full range of technical skill, ability to provide the best available
technologies, in-depth knowledge of the customer interface in particular
industries and the ability to manage complex technological projects to
completion on time and within budget.
CLAREMONT SERVICES
Claremont provides IT applications solutions encompassing IT planning, IT
systems integration and development, and IT outsourcing of IT
maintenance/enhancement services for large corporations and government
organizations in the United States and certain foreign markets including Canada,
the United Kingdom, Saudi Arabia and New Zealand. Through its TISE methodology,
the Company seeks to deliver, in a timely fashion, cost effective systems that
meet the clients' needs and provide the flexibility to meet future application
processing requirements. The Company's TISE methodology for delivering its
services is typically divided into the three phases illustrated below:
The following is a brief description of each phase and task of the TISE
methodology:
PHASE I: IT CONSULTING. Generally, IT Consulting precedes the actual
systems integration project and is completed in a timeframe of one to two
months. IT Consulting typically concludes with a return-on-investment analysis
and a proposal including budgets and anticipated timeframe for implementation of
the proposed solution. The purpose of this phase is to allow executives,
managers and end users from the client work in partnership with Claremont
consultants to develop recommendations for strategic business process changes.
Claremont's preference is to also develop a high-level architectural
infrastructure design in this phase which provides Claremont and the client with
a structural roadmap for approaching Phase II, the Systems
Development/Integration phase.
PHASE II: SYSTEMS DEVELOPMENT/INTEGRATION. Systems Development/Integration
generally results in delivery of a fully implemented solution in three to 12
months. Appropriate application of the TISE methodology during this phase
results in the development of the IT solution, as well as the effective
implementation of that solution and meaningful change in the client's business
processes. Systems Development/Integration involves these stages:
3
PROCESS DESIGN. A key to Phase II of the TISE methodology is an
assessment of the operational impact of a new system, and designing
re-engineered business processes for the client to insure that the solution
developed will provide the desired results. This process begins at the
earliest stages of the design of the application itself, and continues
throughout the Systems Development/Integration process. These processes
lead to the generation of a high-level object oriented business model and
the development of an architected system infrastructure, and can often draw
on VALUE SERVER design frameworks already developed by Claremont as central
design elements.
SYSTEM DEVELOPMENT. Once the high-level system
infrastructure is in place, the TISE methodology places an emphasis on
solving detail-level system logic and design problems before coding
begins, and results in sufficiently detailed specifications that
enable Claremont to complete the actual coding and testing of the
application's software objects in a highly controlled, factory-like
manufacturing process. In this process, where appropriate, Claremont
can incorporate previously developed and reusable software modules.
Because Claremont's solutions replace, rather than simply surround,
the client's old and often inflexible legacy code, system development
also includes the development of a significant number of interfaces to
other client systems. Claremont assembles all the code from the
previously completed tasks and conducts a functional test of the new
system.
SYSTEM DEPLOYMENT. Complete implementation of the solution
requires two final steps. The first is developing the new job descriptions
and operational procedures and training people in how to take maximum
advantage of the new system. The second step is to put the entire system
through a complete test from the user's perspective, including testing the
software, as well as the new procedures and the interfaces with existing
systems.
PHASE III: OUTSOURCING. Outsourcing of the ongoing support and enhancement
for the client's new system and/or total system environment is an area of
Claremont's services that has increased over the past three years. The
outsourcing phase of the TISE methodology provides opportunities for the Company
to enhance client partnerships and broaden the scope of its engagements.
While individual Phase I projects are small, typically $25,000 to $100,000,
total client engagements regularly involve multiple projects over several years
and can generate revenue in excess of $20 million. Claremont has been successful
in negotiating resale rights for several of its software solutions.
Claremont provides its services on both a time and materials and fixed-price
basis. Invoices for time and materials work are presented on a bi-weekly or
monthly basis. Invoices for fixed-price engagements are presented in accordance
with achievement of negotiated milestones or dates during the development
process.
TECHNOLOGICAL EXPERTISE
Claremont's Advanced Technology/Internet Practice provides technological
resources across all of Claremont's industry practice areas and seeks to build
and maintain the Company's expertise in leading edge technologies. Advanced
Technology/Internet Practice personnel are located in Montreal, Canada; Basking
Ridge, New Jersey; Columbus and
4
Cleveland, Ohio; Beaverton, Oregon; Sacramento, California; Seattle, Washington
and North Sydney, Australia. The Advanced Technology/Internet Practice is
managed on a world-wide basis so that clients, regardless of location, have
access to Claremont's technical expertise.
At present, Claremont focuses its advanced technology skills in four main areas:
object oriented systems development; electronic commerce (internet/intranet and
groupware solutions); client/server enterprise architectures (complex network
management); and on-line analytical processing (executive support systems/data
warehousing). Claremont uses its relationships with hardware and software
providers such as Arbor Software Corporation, Forte Software, Inc., Hewlett
Packard Company, IBM, Netscape Communications Corporation, Oracle
Technology, Inc., Silicon Graphics, Inc., and SyBase, Inc. to help ensure that
it remains current with the latest technology and to serve as a source of new
business opportunities for the Company's industry practice areas.
Claremont has captured its knowledge of certain business transactional processes
in the form of reusable software objects which it refers to as VALUE SERVERS.
These reusable software modules, built upon modern object oriented client/server
software concepts, serve as software engines to provide a mechanism to transfer
code among clients and hence reduce the cost of the software development
process. VALUE SERVERS exist for the communications, retirement and
environmental practices. Each server is designed for flexibility and is
enhanced with each additional client assignment.
MARKETS AND CLIENTS
Claremont focuses its marketing efforts on clients in information-intensive
businesses, including communications, financial services, government services
and retail/commercial services/manufacturing and other. Within these vertical
markets, the Company targets clients for whom enterprise-wide IT solutions can
provide a competitive advantage. The Company intends to continue to pursue
opportunities to provide its services in other industry sectors with similar
needs.
Claremont's most significant clients, in terms of revenue earned in the fiscal
1996, within its industry practice areas are listed below:
COMMUNICATIONS FINANCIAL SERVICES
-------------- ------------------
AT&T Bank One
Lucent Technologies Colonial Pacific Leasing
Sprint Lloyds Bank
PENSION/RETIREMENT AND RETAIL/COMMERCIAL SERVICES/
OTHER GOVERNMENT SERVICE MANUFACTURING AND OTHER
------------------------ -----------------------
California Public Employees Retirement Blue Cross/Blue Shield Oregon
System ("CalPERS") Fred Meyer, Inc.
Mississippi Public Employee Retirement PacifiCorp
System ("Mississippi PERS") Wacker Siltronic Corporation
Ohio State Teachers Retirement
System ("Ohio STRS")
State of Oregon, Department of
Environmental Quality
5
The Company has in the past derived, and may in the future derive, a significant
portion of its revenue from a relatively small number of clients. For the fiscal
year ended June 30, 1996, the Company had three clients which each represented
in excess of 10 percent of the Company's revenues: Lucent Technologies, 20
percent, Ohio STRS, 14 percent and Mississippi PERS, 11 percent. For the
fiscal year ended June 30, 1995, the Company had two clients which each
represented in excess of 10 percent of the Company's revenues: Ohio STRS, 38
percent and AT&T Network Systems Group (now Lucent Technologies), 19 percent.
The volume of work performed for specific clients is likely to vary from year to
year, and a major client in one year may not use the Company's services in a
subsequent year. The loss of any large client could have a material adverse
effect on the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations.
Most of the Company's contracts are terminable by the client following limited
notice and without significant penalty to the client. The cancellation of a
large project or a significant reduction in the scope of such a project could
have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition
and results of operations, and in the past the cancellation of a large project
has had such an effect. Furthermore, a decision by any large client not to
proceed with a project to the stage anticipated by the Company could have a
material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition and
results of operations. As a result of the Company's focus in specific industries
the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations are
influenced by economic and other conditions affecting these industries.
The Company's IT consulting services focus on four key industry sectors:
communications, financial services, pension/retirement and other government
services and retail/commercial services/manufacturing and other which
represented approximately 30 percent, 5 percent, 34 percent and 31 percent,
respectively, of the Company's revenue for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1996.
COMMUNICATIONS. During fiscal 1995 and fiscal 1996, the Company performed
a number of engagements, including assisting in developing the business
architecture models for the Saudi Arabian telephone expansion project. AT&T and
Lucent Technology are among the Company's clients and the Company has recently
added Sprint and the New Zealand Telephone Company to its client list. The
communications practice area has developed a VALUE SERVER consisting of a
reusable set of object oriented software modules constructed to support
communications clients in their billing and customer care functions.
Collectively, these modules represent a highly flexible VALUE SERVER to support
these critical billing and customer care business functions. The Company
believes that in suitable applications the reusable software modules will enable
Claremont to offer its clients reduced development time and cost.
FINANCIAL SERVICES. Lloyd's Bank is the anchor account for the financial
services practice area, and is served out of Claremont's London and Montreal
offices. Substantial efforts in this practice area are also underway in Ohio,
where BancOne, Limited Credit Services and Fifth Third Bank are clients of the
Company, and in the Pacific Northwest where Frank Russell and Colonial Pacific
Leasing are clients of the Company.
6
PENSION/RETIREMENT AND OTHER GOVERNMENT SERVICES. Claremont began its
pension/retirement systems practice as a result of a strategic partnership with
the Ohio STRS. The relationship has produced a VALUE SERVER consisting of
reusable software modules for the pension/retirement systems industry, which is
being marketed under the name CLARETY. The CLARETY product was created using the
Forte software development client/server tool set. Claremont is currently
implementing CLARETY software for Mississippi PERS, and CLARETY has just been
selected for implementation by the State of New Hampshire. The Company believes
that CLARETY software is the only object oriented client/server product of its
kind being marketed to the pension/retirement systems market.
Claremont is a leading provider of IT consulting and custom software development
services to the State of Oregon, Department of Environmental Quality and the
State of Washington, Department of Ecology. For the Oregon Department of
Environmental Quality, Claremont developed a software product called HWIMSY for
tracking hazardous waste. Claremont now has marketing rights for this software.
Claremont established the health and human services practice area in fiscal 1995
after the recruitment of a team of individuals with in-depth knowledge of the
business processes associated with administering the enforcement of child
support judgments. Claremont has begun work in the health and human services
area for the state governments of Missouri, Oregon and Ohio. The Company has
focused its pension/retirement and other government services practice on state
and local governments. The Company does not currently provide services to the
federal government.
RETAIL/COMMERCIAL SERVICES/MANUFACTURING AND OTHER. The retail/commercial
services/manufacturing and other practice area consists of services to the
manufacturing, retail, public utility and health insurance industries. Claremont
provides IT consulting, custom software development and application maintenance/
enhancement services to clients in all four industries. Projects in these
industries include such applications as systems support for new food
distribution systems; an inventory management system for a retail chain; an
order processing system for a national wood products company and a customer
service system encompassing such functions as meter management, work tracking
and accounts receivable for a major utility.
INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS
The Company's success is dependent upon maintenance and protection of its
intellectual property rights. The Company relies on a combination of copyrights,
trade secrets and trademarks to protect its technology. The Company has
applications pending at the United States Patent and Trademark Office with
respect to the Company's VALUE SERVER, NORTHERN DIAMOND, PREMOST, VALUE
SOFTWARE, TISE AND SPIBOX trademarks. The Company's practice has been to enter
into confidentiality agreements with its employees and signed agreements that
include nondisclosure provisions with its clients.
Despite these activities, no assurance can be given that the steps taken by the
Company will provide adequate protection of its intellectual property rights or
that competitors will not be able to develop similar or functionally equivalent
methodologies or products. Furthermore, effective copyright and trade secret
protection may be unavailable or limited in certain foreign countries. In
addition, litigation may be necessary to enforce the Company's intellectual
property rights, to protect the Company's trade secrets, to
7
determine the validity and scope of the intellectual property rights of others
or to defend against claims of infringement. Such litigation could result in
substantial costs and diversion of resources and could have a material adverse
effect on the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations.
No assurance can be given that infringement or invalidity claims (or claims for
indemnification resulting from infringement claims against third parties, such
as clients) will not be asserted against the Company or that any such assertions
would not have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial
condition or results of operations. If infringement or invalidity claims are
asserted against the Company, litigation may be necessary to defend the Company
against such claims, and in certain circumstances the Company may choose to seek
to obtain a license under the third-party's intellectual property rights. There
can be no assurance that such licenses will be available on terms acceptable to
the Company, if at all.
BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT
Claremont's business development efforts are based primarily upon personal
contacts, the reputations of its senior personnel, industry marketing programs
and attendance at appropriate industry forums. Claremont believes that business
development is an integral part of the responsibility of practice area leaders
and other senior project managers. Claremont also follows a practice of
marketing its services through strategic alliances with a select list of
hardware and software providers.
The Company employs an established selling methodology, the Miller-Heiman
process. The Miller-Heiman process is focused on sales that involve multiple
decision makers at different levels in large organizations. The process provides
an analytical approach to identifying the key decision makers, determining with
the client the value to be provided to the client and managing the sales process
through completion. Claremont maintains a corporate information database
referred to as the Opportunity Center to manage the selling process. The sale of
a new project generally involves a three to six month effort. At any given time,
numerous Claremont professionals are active in the development of new business.
The coordination of their efforts and the tracking of their results is critical
to Claremont's ability to forecast and adequately staff future work. Claremont's
Opportunity Center is a critical management tool to assist the Company's senior
executives in managing this process.
COMPETITION
The markets for the Company's services are highly competitive. The Company
believes that it currently competes principally with the internal information
systems groups of its prospective clients, as well as consulting and software
integration firms including Andersen Consulting, the "Big Six" accounting firms,
ISSC (an affiliate of IBM), Computer Sciences Corporation and with other
hardware and applications software vendors. In addition there are a number of
systems integrators who serve similar markets or provide similar services, such
as Cambridge Technology Partners, Renaissance Solutions, Inc., SHL Systemhouse
(a subsidiary of MCI), Sapient Corporation and Technology Solutions Company,
with whom the Company competes or may compete in the future. Many of these
companies have significantly greater financial, technical and marketing
resources than the Company, generate greater revenue and have greater name
recognition than the Company. In addition, there are relatively low barriers to
entry into the Company's markets and the
8
Company has faced and expects to continue to face additional competition from
new entrants into its markets.
The Company believes that the principal competitive factors in its markets
include reputation, project management expertise, industry expertise, speed of
development and implementation, technical expertise and ability to deliver on a
fixed-price as well as a time and materials basis. There can be no assurance
that the Company will be able to compete effectively with current and future
competitors or that competitive pressures faced by the Company will not cause
the Company's revenue or gross margins to decline or otherwise materially
adversely affect its business, financial condition and results of operations.
CLAREMONT PERSONNEL
The success of the Company is based on attracting and retaining talented,
creative and experienced people at all levels. The Company dedicates significant
senior resources to its recruiting effort, primarily recruiting professionals
with both IT consulting and industry experience. All of Claremont's managers and
senior managers have substantial expertise in designing and implementing
large-scale applications solutions, and many of them have relevant industry
experience. As a result, the Company's consultants provide industry knowledge
and line management expertise, in addition to technical expertise, to the
Company's clients. As of June 30, 1996, the Company had a total of 519
employees.
There is significant competition for employees with the skills required to
perform the services offered by the Company. Qualified project managers and
senior technical and professional staff are in great demand and are likely to
remain a limited resource for the foreseeable future. There can be no assurance
that the Company will be successful in attracting a sufficient number of
highly-skilled employees in the future, or that it will be successful in
training, retaining and motivating employees. The Company's inability to
attract, train and retain skilled employees or the Company's employees'
inability to achieve expected levels of performance could impair the Company's
ability to adequately manage and complete its existing projects and to bid for
or obtain new projects.
In order to accommodate typical project development lead time, the Company has
found that it must recruit and hire additional personnel on the basis of
anticipated demand for their services. Although this practice has contributed to
the Company's growth to date, there can be no assurance that demand for the
Company's services will materialize as anticipated, and this practice could
result in under-utilized employees and consequently have a material adverse
effect upon the Company's business, financial condition and results of
operations.
ITEM 2. PROPERTIES
- ------ ----------
The Company's headquarters and principal administrative offices are located in
approximately 11,011 square feet of leased space located in Beaverton, Oregon.
In addition, Claremont has invested in three software development centers, which
Claremont refers to as "software factories." These centers are located in
Beaverton, Oregon; Montreal, Canada; and Columbus, Ohio.
9
The Company's west coast business development and technical development
personnel operate from the Beaverton, Oregon location. The Company occupies
these premises under a lease expiring in April 1999. In addition, the Company
leases 14,517 square feet in Columbus, Ohio for its retirement system national
practice, central region business development and technical lab. The lease
relating to these premises expires in November 2000. The Company also leases
office space in 11 other locations, including Basking Ridge, New Jersey;
Bellevue, Washington; Cleveland, Ohio; Jackson, Mississippi; Morristown, New
Jersey; Sacramento, California; New York, New York; White Plains, New York;
Montreal, Canada; London, United Kingdom; and North Sydney, Australia, from
which regional project management and business development is conducted. Leases
for these premises range from 2,050 to 4,395 square feet. The Company
anticipates that additional space may be required as the Company's business
operations expand and believes it will be able to obtain suitable space as
needed.
ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
- ------- -----------------

Securities Litigation Reform Act, which involve risks and uncertainties. Actual
results may differ materially from the results described in the forward-looking
statements. When used in this document, the words "anticipate," "believe,"
"estimate," "expect," "intend" and other similar expressions, as they relate to

FISCAL 1996 COMPARED TO FISCAL 1995
REVENUE. The Company's revenue consists primarily of professional fees
(including license fees for Claremont's reusable software modules), and to a
lesser extent resold hardware and software products and resold contract
services. The Company's professional fees increased 64 percent to $44.8 million
in fiscal 1996 from $27.3 million in fiscal 1995. Professional fees increased
primarily due to an increase in the number of projects performed, both for new
and existing clients. In fiscal 1996, $2.6 million, or 5 percent of revenue,
resulted from resold products and services; there was no similar revenue of a
material nature in fiscal 1995. Resold products and services are offered to
clients on an as needed project basis and are resold with little or no mark-up.
The Company does not
12
expect resold products and services to contribute materially to its income from
operations, and generally expects to make little or no profit on such products
and services. The Company expects to provide such products and services only as
an accommodation to the Company's clients as requested for particular projects.
Revenue from foreign operations increased 309 percent to $2.3 million in fiscal
1996 from $562,000 in fiscal 1995. The increase resulted primarily from
operations at the Company's Montreal, Canada software factory, which commenced
operations during the third quarter of fiscal 1995, largely in support of U.S.
domestic clients.
Claremont's revenue has become decreasingly dependent upon its largest clients,
though such concentration remains a characteristic of Claremont's business. The
top five clients accounted for 56 percent of revenue in fiscal 1996, down from
76 percent of revenue in fiscal 1995. In fiscal 1996 and 1995 the largest client
accounted for 20 percent and 38 percent of revenue, respectively. During fiscal
1996, ten clients generated revenue in excess of $1.0 million, compared to seven
clients during fiscal 1995. The cancellation of a large project or a significant
reduction in the scope of such a project could have a material adverse effect on
the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations, and in
the past the cancellation of a large project has had such an effect. No
assurance can be given that such a reduction in concentration will continue or
that client concentration will not leave the Company vulnerable to loss of
projects or clients, or that such a loss would not have a material adverse
impact upon the Company's business, financial condition and results of
operations.
PROJECT COSTS AND EXPENSES. Project costs and expenses consist primarily of
salaries and employee benefits for personnel dedicated to client projects and
associated overhead costs including equipment depreciation and amortization.
Project costs and expenses increased 75 percent to $24.0 million in fiscal 1996
from $13.7 million in fiscal 1995, representing 54 percent and 50 percent of
professional fees in fiscal 1996 and 1995, respectively. The increase in project
costs and expenses was due primarily to the addition of project personnel
necessary to perform the larger number of client projects.
SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE. Selling, general and administrative costs
and expenses consist of costs associated with the Company's executive staff,
finance, facilities and human resources departments (collectively,
"Administrative Personnel"), travel and business development costs. Selling,
general and administrative costs and expenses increased 52 percent to $15.5
million in fiscal 1996 from $10.2 million in fiscal 1995. The increase is
primarily due to increases in professional development and recruiting expenses
associated with the increased professional personnel, increased facility
expenses associated with increased space needs resulting from increased software
development efforts performed at Company facilities rather than at client
locations and increased numbers of Administrative Personnel and expansion into
international markets during the quarter ended March 31, 1996. In addition, the
Company incurred approximately $300,000 in non-recurring charges attributable to
separation agreements with two terminated executives. See "Certain
Transactions." Selling, general and administrative costs and expenses declined
to 35 percent of professional fees in fiscal 1996 from 37 percent of
professional fees in fiscal 1995, due to revenue increases outpacing selling,
general and administrative costs and expenses increases on a percentage basis in
the period.
13
OTHER INCOME (EXPENSE), NET. Other income (expense) consists primarily of
interest expense associated with short term borrowings and interest income on
cash and cash equivalents. Other income (expense), net changed to a net expense
of $169,000 in fiscal 1996 from a net income of $67,000 in fiscal 1995. The
change is primarily attributable to interest expense associated with bank
borrowings incurred to finance the Company's acquisition of computer equipment
in fiscal 1996.
INCOME TAX EXPENSE. Income tax expense represents combined federal, state and
foreign taxes at an effective rate of 43 percent for fiscal 1996 compared to 39
percent for fiscal 1995. The increase in the effective tax rate is due to a
change in the mix of jurisdictions in which the Company does business, as well
as changes in certain federal tax laws.
FISCAL 1995 COMPARED TO FISCAL 1994
REVENUE. The Company's revenue, all of which was attributable to professional
fees, increased 74 percent to $27.3 million in fiscal 1995 from $15.7 million in
fiscal 1994. Revenue increased primarily due to an increase in the number of
major projects performed, both for new clients in new markets and industries and
for existing clients. In addition, in fiscal 1995 the Company received
performance bonuses under a client contract of approximately $1.0 million. In
fiscal 1995 the top five clients accounted for 76 percent of revenue; in fiscal
1994 the top five clients accounted for 92 percent of revenue. In fiscal 1995
the largest client accounted for 38 percent of revenue, compared to 72 percent
of revenue in fiscal 1994. In fiscal 1995 seven clients generated revenue of
$1.0 million or more; in fiscal 1994 two clients generated revenue of $1.0
million or more.
PROJECT COSTS AND EXPENSES. Project costs and expenses increased 51 percent to
$13.7 million in fiscal 1995 from $9.1 million in fiscal 1994, but decreased as
a percentage of revenue, representing 50 percent of revenue in fiscal 1995
compared to 58 percent of revenue in fiscal 1994. The increase in project costs
and expenses was attributable to additional project personnel necessary to
perform additional client projects. The decrease in project costs and expenses
as a percentage of revenue was due to increased revenue and stronger utilization
levels for project personnel.
SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE. Selling, general and administrative costs
and expenses increased 141 percent to $10.2 million in fiscal 1995 from $4.2
million in fiscal 1994, and increased to 37 percent of revenue in fiscal 1995
from 27 percent of revenue in fiscal 1994. This increase resulted from the
Company's investments during 1995 in its global infrastructure to sell and
service new clients, to enter new industries and markets and its investment in
the continued development of its professional staff, and growth in
Administrative Personnel. In fiscal 1994 the Company had active practices in two
domestic locations: Portland, Oregon and Columbus, Ohio; in fiscal 1995 the
Company developed active practices in four additional domestic locations:
Basking Ridge, New Jersey; Cleveland, Ohio; Sacramento, California; Seattle,
Washington; and two international sites: Montreal, Canada and London, United
Kingdom. Additionally, the Company developed and implemented career path
programs for its consulting staff and initiated associated training programs.
OTHER INCOME (EXPENSE), NET. Other income (expense), net increased primarily
due to increased interest income associated with higher cash balances.
14
INCOME TAX EXPENSE. Income tax expense increased from $1.0 million in fiscal
1994 to $1.4 million in fiscal 1995 representing an approximate effective tax
rate of 40 percent in both years. The Company changed its method of recognizing
income and expenses for income tax purposes from a cash basis to an accrual
basis effective July 1, 1994.
VARIABILITY OF QUARTERLY RESULTS
The Company's quarterly revenue and results of operations have fluctuated
significantly in the past and will likely fluctuate in the future. Factors
causing such fluctuations have included and may include, among other factors,
the number, size and scope of projects in which the Company is engaged, the
contractual terms and degree of completion of such projects, any delays incurred
in connection with a project, employee hiring and utilization rates, the
adequacy of provisions for losses, the accuracy of estimates of resources
required to complete ongoing projects, general economic conditions,
weather-related shut-downs in major markets, vacation days, total business days
in a quarter and the business practices of clients such as deferring commitments
on new projects until after the end of the calendar or the client's fiscal year.
Due to the foregoing factors, among others, it is possible that in some future
quarter the Company's results of operations will be below the expectations of
the securities analysts and investors. In such event, the price of the Company's
Common Stock may be materially adversely affected.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Since its inception, the Company has financed its operations and investments in
property and equipment primarily through cash generated from operations, bank
borrowings and capital lease financing. In July 1996, the Company completed its
initial public offering and in August 1996, the Company sold the additional
shares pursuant to the exercise of the underwriters' over-allotment option. Net
proceeds from the offering and over-allotment totaled $27.0 million.
At June 30, 1996, the Company had working capital of $3.5 million, including
$0.5 million of cash and cash equivalents.
Cash increased $186,000 during fiscal 1996 as a result of net cash provided from
financing activities of $7.8 million, offset by $1.7 million used in operations,
$3.6 million for the purchase of property and equipment and $2.1 million for
software development costs.
Accounts receivable increased $2.3 million to $7.8 million at June 30, 1996 from
$5.5 million at June 30, 1995 primarily as a result of growth in revenues. Days
sales outstanding were 64 at June 30, 1996 compared to 74 at June 30, 1995.
Accounts payable increased $0.6 million to $1.5 million at June 30, 1996 from
$0.9 million at June 30, 1995 primarily due to growth of the business and
expenses related to the Company's initial public offering in July 1996.
Accrued expenses increased $1.3 million to $3.4 million at June 30, 1996 from
$2.1 million at June 30, 1995 primarily due to growth of the business and the
timing of payment of accrued payroll taxes.
15
The Company has a revolving line of credit with Bank of America Oregon, a
subsidiary of BankAmerica Corporation, providing for borrowings of up to $6.0
million. As of June 30, 1996, there were $4.6 million in borrowings against this
line, all of which the Company repayed with a portion of the net proceeds of its
initial public offering which occurred on July 19, 1996. Advances under the
line of credit bear interest at Bank of America's NT&SA Reference Rate, plus one
quarter of one percent; the effective rate at June 30, 1996 was 8.5 percent.
This revolving line of credit expires on August 1, 1997, and borrowings
thereunder are secured by all of the assets of the Company.
The Company has certain term loans with Bank of America Oregon primarily to
finance equipment purchases. As of June 30, 1996 there was $2.5 million of
related debt outstanding against these lines. Debt service under these lines is
payable over 36 months, including principal and interest. There are three
separate borrowings under this facility at interest rates ranging from 7.59
percent to 8.05 percent, and all such borrowings are secured by all of the
assets of the Company.
The Company is a guarantor on a non-revolving line of credit with Bank of
America Oregon which provided for borrowings of up to $2.0 million, for purposes
of facilitating the purchase of Claremont's Common Stock by Company executives
in July 1995. As of June 30, 1996 there was $1.7 million of related debt
outstanding against the line. Advances under the line of credit were made
directly to the Company executive with full recourse and bear interest at Bank
of America's NT&SA Reference Rate, plus one percentage point. Claremont's
guaranty is secured by a pledge of each borrower's shares of the Company's
Common Stock. Advances under the line of credit are for 36 months and include
monthly interest payments, made by each Company executive, with principal
repayment by each Company executive due on or before July 31, 1998.
The various lines of credit with Bank of America Oregon are contained in a
master Business Loan Agreement which includes covenants relating to the
maintenance of certain financial ratios and minimum net worth.
During fiscal 1996, the Company had capital expenditures of $3.7 million
primarily related to furniture and personal computers, and $2.0 million
associated with the capitalization of software development costs. As of June
30, 1996 the Company did not have any material commitments for capital
expenditures.
As a provider of professional services, the Company has few tangible assets
against which to borrow. Therefore, the Company primarily requires equity
capital to finance or leverage its working capital. The Company believes that
the cash provided from operations, borrowings available under its revolving line
of credit and the net proceeds of its initial public offering in July 1996 will
be sufficient to meet the Company's working capital and capital expenditure
requirements for at least the next fiscal year.

NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 121, "Accounting for the
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed of,"
("SFAS 121"), which the Company will adopt for its fiscal year ending June 30,
1997, will require "that long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles
to be held and used by an entity be reviewed for impairment whenever events or
changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not
be recoverable." In the opinion of the Company's management, the adoption of
SFAS 121 will not have any effect on the Company's financial position or results
of operations.
In October 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement No.
123 ("SFAS 123"), which establishes a fair value based method of accounting for
stock-based compensation plans. The Company will continue to account for
employee stock options under APB Opinion No. 25, ACCOUNTING FOR STOCK ISSUED TO
EMPLOYEES and therefore believes the statement will have no impact on the
Company's financial statements other than expanded footnote disclosure. SFAS 123
will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1995.

COMPENSATION OF DIRECTORS
Members of the Board of Directors are reimbursed for out-of-pocket and travel
expenses incurred in attending Board meetings. Non-employee members of the Board
of Directors also receive a stock option grant covering 20,000 shares of the
Company's Common Stock upon election to the Board, which option vests over three
years. Following the first annual meeting of shareholders after the initial
grant is vested, and at every third annual meeting of shareholders thereafter,
such non-employee director will be granted an option covering 15,000 shares of
the Company's Common Stock, which options vest over three years.
The Company retained board member Jerry L. Stone as a consultant through his
consulting firm, Marketing Exchange Corporation, and paid Mr. Stone $72,538 in
fiscal 1996 for such consulting services. The consulting arrangement with
Mr. Stone terminated effective April 26, 1996.
EMPLOYMENT CONTRACTS AND TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT ARRANGEMENTS
On July 1, 1994, the Company entered into a three-year employment agreement with
Paul J. Cosgrave, its President and Chief Executive Officer, which provides for
a minimum salary of $400,000 per year and includes, among other things,
provisions for a $150,000 loan, for which Mr. Cosgrave has signed a promissory
note due July 1, 1997, or if bonuses are earned earlier, $60,000 out of fiscal
1995 bonus and $90,000 out of fiscal 1996 bonus, and if Mr. Cosgrave leaves the
Company, out of termination pay due. The fiscal 1995 and 1996 bonuses were
earned and the $60,000 and $90,000 payments were made; there was no remaining
balance outstanding under this loan at July 1, 1996.
On February 1, 1996, the Company entered into an employment agreement with
Dennis M. Goett, its Chief Financial Officer, which provides for a minimum
annual salary of $295,000.
Both Mr. Cosgrave's and Mr. Goett's agreement provides that the executive is
entitled to a car allowance of $650 per month and certain medical benefits. Each
agreement further provides that if the executive's employment is terminated at
Claremont's election for reasons other than cause, the executive's base salary
will continue for the longer of three years from the start date or six months
from the termination date; provided, however, that Mr. Goett's salary
continuation shall cease if he competes with Claremont or solicits Claremont
customers. If termination is for cause or at the executive's choice, each
agreement also contains covenants of noncompetition and nonsolicitation of
clients. Regardless of the reason for termination, each agreement contains
commitments of nonsolicitation of Claremont personnel. In each agreement, the
noncompetition and nonsolicitation of clients and employees covenants continue
until the later of 18 months after termination of employment, or termination of
base salary payments.
All other Named Executive Officers and all other Company personnel have executed
at-will employment agreements providing for protection of proprietary
information and assignment of intellectual property. In addition, these
agreements prohibit competition with the Company with respect to its clients or
active prospects for varying periods following termination.
CHANGE-IN-CONTROL ARRANGEMENTS
None.

ITEM 13. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS
In January 1994, the Company entered into a separation agreement with Martin
Wright, then a Senior Vice President, under which the vesting of remaining
unvested options held by Mr. Wright were accelerated, Mr. Wright received a loan
for $85,000 at 4 percent interest per year, due originally in June 1994, and
Mr. Wright entered into a two year noncompetition agreement with the Company.
The loan was subsequently extended to July 1995, and repaid in that month.
Mr. Wright subsequently exercised all of his options.
In April 1994, the Company loaned Stephen D. Hawley $35,000 at 4 percent
interest per year, interest is payable quarterly and the principal balance is
due on or before April 15, 1997. In March 1995, the Company loaned Mr. Hawley
an additional $40,000 at 7.01 percent interest per year. The principal balance
is due on or before April 15, 1997, and interest is payable quarterly. Both
loans are secured by a pledge of Mr. Hawley's rights to exercise certain of his
options. Interest payments on both loans are current.
In July 1994, the Company loaned then board member Brian Caldwell $75,000 at 5
percent interest per year. This loan was repaid on July 11, 1995, and while
outstanding was secured by Mr. Caldwell's shares of the Company's Common Stock.
In July 1995, in pursuit of its policy of encouraging employee stock ownership,
the Company guaranteed loans from the Bank of America to 34 of its management
employees to assist them with the purchase of shares of the Company's Common
Stock from Martin Wright, a former officer and employee of the Company, Brian
Caldwell, a director and 10 percent shareholder of the Company, and Steven
Darrow, an officer, director and 10 percent shareholder of the Company, at a
purchase price of $3.55 per share, and to exercise stock options that had become
vested. Claremont's guarantee of these loans can not be called before August
1998. Claremont's guarantee is secured by a pledge of the purchased stock to
Claremont. The employees participating in this program include Joel D. Bucklen,
17,373 shares and a $61,674 loan guaranteed; Paul J. Cosgrave, 49,804 shares and
a $176,804 loan guaranteed; Karen Fast, 23,164 shares and a $82,232 loan
guaranteed; Edward A. Fullman, 24,901 shares and a $88,399 loan guaranteed;
Stephen D. Hawley, 34,781 shares (including 10,000 options) and a $93,073 loan
guaranteed; Ross C. Kayuha, 23,164 shares and an $82,232 loan guaranteed;
Colin B. McKiernan, 24,001 shares and an $85,204 loan guaranteed; and Peter Moe,
28,955 shares and a $102,790 loan guaranteed. In February 1996, Mr. Moe repaid
all outstanding indebtedness under his loan from Bank of America.
In January 1996, the Company entered into a severance agreement with Peter Moe,
then an officer of the Company. Mr. Moe was paid six months salary plus medical
benefits totaling $141,865.
In March 1996, the Company entered into a Retirement and Severance Agreement
with its founder and largest shareholder, Steven L. Darrow. Under that
agreement, in exchange for his commitment not to compete with the Company for
five years, the Company agreed to pay an amount equal to one year's salary
($325,000), provide a continuation of medical benefits during his lifetime,
forgive certain loans by the Company to Mr. Darrow in the aggregate amount of
$410,000 and pay resulting withholding taxes in the amount of
24
$159,444, accelerate the vesting of stock options for 35,800 shares of the
Company's Common Stock with an exercise price of $1.03 per share, and grant him
and certain trusts and individuals to whom he had transferred stock certain
"piggyback" registration rights. The Company also agreed to guarantee a loan to
Mr. Darrow if the guarantee was required by the lender, provided that the
Company's guarantee was secured by a pledge of the shares of the Company's
Common Stock belonging to Mr. Darrow, and to provide good faith cooperation if
he wished to sell shares of the Company's Common Stock in a transaction prior to
the date of the Company's initial public offering.
In March 1996, Paul J. Cosgrave exercised certain options with an aggregate
exercise price of $337,350 (options for 190,000 shares at $1.73 per share). In
connection with such exercise, Mr. Cosgrave paid the Company an aggregate of
$502,230, including amounts for tax withholding payments the Company was
required to make on nonqualified options, by delivery of a promissory note. The
note bore interest at 5 percent per year, and was payable on demand and in any
event on or before June 30, 1996. Mr. Cosgrave repaid this note on May 22, 1996.
In May 1996, Paul G. Mardesich, then a Senior Vice President, entered into a
separation agreement with the Company to be effective mid-June 1996, which
includes a three-year covenant not to compete in consideration of payment of
$85,000, and a twenty-seven month consulting agreement providing payment in the
aggregate amount of $13,500.
On May 17, 1996, the Company entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement with
certain holders of the Company's Common Stock (including Steven L. Darrow, the
Company's largest shareholder) and certain investors (the "Investors"), pursuant
to which the Investors purchased an aggregate of 910,000 shares of the Company's
Common Stock at an average purchase price of $10.33. Mr. Darrow sold 600,000
shares of the Company's Common Stock to the Investors. Under the terms of the
Stock Purchase Agreement, the Company granted the Investors "piggyback" and
demand registration rights.
On May 20, 1996, the Company issued to DLJ Capital Corporation a five-year
warrant to purchase 400,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock at an exercise
price of $10.33 per share, to settle a dispute between the Company and the
Sprout Group regarding a "Summary Term Sheet" executed by the Company and the
Sprout Group on December 5, 1995. The Summary Term Sheet contemplated the
issuance and sale of 812,500 shares of a newly created series of preferred stock
and other securities. The warrant provides for certain demand and "piggyback"
registration rights.
The Company has entered into employment agreements with Paul J. Cosgrave, its
President and Chief Executive Officer, and Dennis M. Goett, its Chief Financial
Officer. See "Employment Contracts and Termination of Employment Arrangements."
Any future transactions between the Company and its officers, directors and
affiliates will be on terms no less favorable to the Company than can be
obtained from unaffiliated third parties. Such transactions, with such persons,
will be subject to approval by a majority of the Company's outside directors or
will be consistent with policies adopted by such outside directors.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
The Board of Directors
Claremont Technology Group, Inc.
and Subsidiaries:
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Claremont
Technology Group, Inc. and subsidiaries as of June 30, 1996 and 1995 and the
related consolidated statements of operations, shareholders' equity, and cash
flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended June 30, 1996. These
consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated
financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Claremont Technology
Group, Inc. and subsidiaries as of June 30, 1996 and 1995 and the results of
their operations and their cash flows for the each of the years in the three-
year period ended June 30, 1996 in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.

(1) DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
Claremont Technology Group, Inc. (the Company) provides enterprise-wide
information technology (IT) solutions that reengineer mission-critical
business processes such as customer service, order processing, billing and
logistics. Claremont services include IT planning, systems integration and
development and outsourcing, through a project management methodology that
employs reusable object oriented software modules and transferable design
frameworks.
Claremont provides solutions to large organizations in select IT intensive
vertical markets including communications, financial services and
pension/retirement services. Claremont's clients consist of large
corporations and government organizations in the United States and certain
foreign markets.
PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION
The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of
Claremont Technology Group, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries,
Claremont Retirement Technologies, Inc. (CRTI), Gunford Limited (Claremont
Technology Group (Ireland) Ltd.) and Claremont Technology Group Canada,
Inc. (CTGCI). All significant intercompany balances and transactions have
been eliminated in consolidation.
CASH EQUIVALENTS
Cash equivalents consist of investments in highly liquid investment
instruments with original maturities of three months or less.
INVESTMENT IN PARTNERSHIP
Claremont Retirement Solutions, Ltd. is a limited partnership for which
CRTI is the general partner. The investment in the partnership is
accounted for by the cost method.

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The carrying amount of cash equivalents, trade receivables, trade
payables and short-term borrowings approximate fair value because
of the short-term nature of these instruments. The fair value of
long-term debt was estimated by discounting the future cash flows
using market interest rates and does not differ significantly
from that reflected in the financial statements.
Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time, based
on relevant market information about the financial instrument.
These estimates are subjective in nature and involve
uncertainties and matters of significant judgment and, therefore,
cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions
could significantly affect the estimates.
REVENUE AND COST RECOGNITION
Revenues from fixed-price contracts are recognized on the
percentage-of-completion method, measured by the percentage of
cost incurred to date to the estimated total cost at completion.
This method is used because management considers accumulated
costs to be the best available measure of progress on these
contracts. The cumulative impact of any revision in estimates
of the percent complete is reflected in the year in which the
changes become known. Losses on projects in progress are
recognized when known. Revenue earned in excess of billings is
comprised of earnings on certain contracts in excess of
contractual billings on such contracts. Billings in excess of
earnings are classified as deferred revenues.
Revenues from time and materials contracts are recognized during
the period in which the services are provided.
ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE
Accounts receivable are shown net of allowance for doubtful
accounts of $110 and $98 at June 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively.

(CONTINUED)
PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT
Property and equipment are stated at cost. Equipment under
capital leases is stated at the present value of future minimum
lease payments at the inception of the lease.
Depreciation of property and equipment is calculated on the
straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the
assets ranging from three to five years. Equipment held under
capital leases and leasehold improvements are amortized
straight-line over the shorter of the lease term or estimated
useful lives of the assets.
INCOME TAXES
Effective July 1, 1993, the Company adopted Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income
Taxes". Statement 109 requires a change from the deferred method
of accounting for income taxes of APB Opinion 11 to the asset and
liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under the asset
and liability method of Statement 109, deferred tax assets and
liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences
attributable to differences between the financial statement
carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their
respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are
measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable
income in the years in which those temporary differences are
expected to be recovered or settled. Under Statement 109, the
effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in
tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the
enactment date.
FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION
The local currency is the functional currency in the Company's
foreign subsidiaries. Assets and liabilities of the foreign
subsidiaries are translated to U.S. dollars at current rates
of exchange, and revenues and expenses are translated using
weighted average rates, in accordance with Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 52, "Foreign Currency
Translation." Gains and losses from foreign currency translation
are included as a separate component of shareholders' equity.
Foreign currency transaction gains and losses are included as a
component of other income and expense.

INTANGIBLE ASSETS
Software development costs incurred subsequent to establishing a
product's technological feasibility are capitalized until such
product is available for general release to customers in
accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.
86, "Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software to be Sold,
Leased or Otherwise Marketed". Capitalized software costs are
amortized on a product-by-product basis. Amortization is
recorded based on the greater of (a) the estimated economic life
of the software (generally three years or less) or (b) the ratio
of current gross revenues for each product to the total of
current and anticipated gross revenues for each product,
commencing when such product is available for general release.
Other intangibles include purchased technology and a covenant not
to compete, which are amortized over periods ranging from two to
five years using the straight-line method.
USE OF ESTIMATES IN THE PREPARATION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles requires management
to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported
amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent
assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements
and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the
reporting period. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.
COMPUTATION OF NET INCOME PER SHARE
Net income per share is computed using the weighted average
number of shares of common and common equivalent shares
outstanding. Common equivalent shares from stock options
and warrants are excluded from the computation if their
effect is antidilutive, except that pursuant to the Securities
and Exchange Staff Accounting Bulletins, common and common
equivalents shares issued at prices below the public offering
price during the twelve months immediately preceding the initial
filing date have been included in the calculation as if they
were outstanding for all periods presented using the treasury
stock method and the initial public offering price.

(8) STOCK INCENTIVE PLANS
During fiscal 1992, the Company adopted, and the Board of Directors
approved, a stock incentive plan for eligible employees, directors and
outside consultants of the Company (the 1992 Plan). Either non-qualified
or incentive stock options may be issued under this plan and are
exercisable for a period of up to ten years from the date of grant.
Certain of these options are subject to acceleration clauses. As of
June 30, 1996, the Company had authorized issuance of such options to
purchase up to an aggregate of 5,000 shares of its common stock. The
options vest and are exercisable over various periods from the initial
grant date.
During fiscal 1996, the Company also adopted and the Board of Directors
approved the 1996 Stock Option Plan for Nonemployee Directors (the 1996
Nonemployee Director Plan). Under the terms of the 1996 Nonemployee
Director Plan, directors of the Company who are not employees of the
Company or any subsidiary of the Company are eligible to receive
nonqualified options to purchase shares of common stock. A total of 200
shares of common stock have been reserved for issuance upon exercise of
stock options granted under the 1996 Nonemployee Director Plan. Upon
election to the Board of Directors, each director is granted an option to
purchase 20 shares, which option will vest over a three-year period (each a
"Recruitment Grant"). Following the first annual meeting of shareholders
after a Recruitment Grant is fully vested, the nonemployee director holding
such fully-vested Recruitment Grant will receive an option to purchase an
additional 15 shares of common stock, which option will vest over a
three-year period (a "First Renewal Grant"). Furthermore, following the
first annual meeting of shareholders after a nonemployee director's First
Renewal Grant is fully vested, and following every third annual meeting of
shareholders thereafter, such nonemployee director will be granted an
option to purchase an additional 15 shares of common stock, which option
will vest over a three-year period. The exercise price of options granted
under the 1996 Nonemployee Director Plan may not be less than the fair
market value of a share of common stock on the date of the grant of the
option.

participants to be at least 21 years of age and have completed at least one
hour of service. Employees can make voluntary contributions up to
limitations prescribed by the Internal Revenue Code. Company matching

(10) EMPLOYEE STOCK OWNERSHIP PLAN
In June 1995, the Company established an Employee Stock Ownership Plan
(ESOP) for all non-union U.S. employees. The ESOP is designed to invest
primarily in common stock of the Company. Each nonunion employee of the
Company or any affiliated company automatically participates in the ESOP on
the January 1 or July 1 following such employee's date of hire.
The general assets of the ESOP are held in trust under a Trust Agreement.
The Company has appointed the Hawaiian Trust Company, Ltd. as the trustee
("Trustee"). The Trustee holds legal title to all assets of the ESOP and
subject to applicable laws and the terms of the ESOP has the discretionary
power to buy common stock and to sell common stock held by the ESOP.
The voting rights with respect to common stock held by the ESOP are
exercised by the Trustee, as directed by the ESOP committee. In the case
of a transaction such as a reorganization, recapitalization, merger, sale
of substantially all assets, liquidation, dissolution or similar
transaction which must be approved by the shareholders, the participants
may direct the Trustee how to vote the common stock allocated to their
Company stock accounts.
A participant's account becomes fully vested and nonforfeitable after seven
years of service with the Company, or earlier if the participant attains
age 65, becomes totally disabled or dies. The participant's account vests
at the rate of 10 percent per year for the first four years of employment,
and at the rate of 20 percent per year for each year thereafter, until
fully vested. The Company pays all administrative costs of the ESOP.
The Company makes all contributions to the ESOP, which may be made in
either cash or shares of common stock. The contributions to the ESOP for
the years ending June 30, 1996 and 1995 consisted of cash of $448 and $300,
respectively. Future contributions to the ESOP will be made at the
Company's discretion.
(11) STOCK WARRANT
On May 20, 1996, the Company issued a five-year warrant to purchase 400
shares of common stock at an exercise price of $10.33 per share. The
warrant is subject to certain antidilution rights.

(13) RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
The Company issued notes receivable to its majority shareholder during
fiscal years ended June 30, 1995 and 1994. The notes were forgiven during
1996. There were no amounts due under these notes at June 30, 1996. The
amount of the notes and related interest receivable at June 30, 1995 were
$410 and $13, respectively.
The Company also issued notes receivable totaling $514 and $385 to certain
employees during the fiscal years ended June 30, 1996 and 1995,
respectively. The notes are due at varying dates through July 31, 1997 and
bear interest at rates ranging from 4 percent to 7.1 percent. Interest
receivable on these notes was $3 and $6 at June 30, 1996 and 1995,
respectively. During fiscal 1995, a note receivable totaling $85 was
extended to July 1995 and paid in full at that time.
The Company has entered into a retirement and severance agreement with its
founder, Steven L. Darrow, and (as of the date of the agreement, March 15,
1996) largest shareholder. Under that agreement, in exchange for his
commitment not to complete with the Company for five years, the Company
agreed to pay an amount equal to one year's salary, provide a continuation
of medical benefits during his lifetime, forgive certain loans from the
Company and pay resulting withholding taxes, and grant him and certain
trusts and individuals to whom he had transferred stock certain "piggyback"
registration rights. With respect to this agreement, the Company recorded
$966 as a covenant not to compete and classified such amount under "other
noncurrent assets". Additionally, the agreement provided for the
acceleration of the exercisability of otherwise not yet exercisable stock
options for the 35.8 shares of the Company's

compensation expense of $107. The Company also agreed to guarantee a loan
for him if the guarantee was required by the lender, provided that the
Company's guarantee was secured by a pledge of Company stock belonging to
the founder, and to provide good faith cooperation if he wished to sell
some of his stock in a transaction before the date of the Company's initial
public offering.
