Therefore, revenues reported for each operating segment are substantially all generated from external customers. The Company's total assets increased approximately $65 million from December 31, 1998 to September 30, 1999. Approximately $4 million of that increase was in Information Technology Services, $41 million was in Technical Services, $6 million was in Todays Staffing and $14 million was in Management Recruiters. During the nine months ended September 30, 1999, the Company completed acquisitions in which it invested $22.7 million. These acquisitions were accounted for using the purchase method. Assets acquired totaled approximately $23 million including $19 million of goodwill. These acquisitions did not have a significant effect on the results of operations for the nine months and quarter ended September 30, 1999. 8 During the nine months ended September 30, 1999, there were 26,000 shares of common stock issued upon the exercise of stock options granted under the Company's Non-Qualified Stock Option Plan. As a result of the option exercises, common stock and additional paid-in capital were increased by $3,000 and $445,000, respectively. During the nine months ended September 30, 1999, 3,612 shares of restricted common stock issued in 1997 vested and 7,043 shares were forfeited. The vesting of the shares resulted in additional paid-in capital decreasing by $10,000 because of income tax effects related to the vesting. The forfeited shares were put in treasury increasing treasury stock by $188,000 and decreasing unamortized value of restricted stock issued by the same amount. Also during the nine month period ended September 30, 1999, additional paid-in capital and unamortized value of restricted stock issued were each increased by $114,000 for market price changes related to restricted shares that will vest based upon performance. In addition, unamortized value of restricted stock issued was decreased by $262,000 for charges to earnings associated with the amortization of the value of the restricted shares. During the quarter ended June 30, 1999, events occurred that resulted in the resolution of certain contingencies and contractual matters related to the Company's discontinued operations. Accordingly, the Company recognized a gain of $3.1 million ($2.0 million after taxes). Net assets of the discontinued operations as of September 30, 1999 were comprised of working capital items and deferred income taxes. The financial statements included in this report are unaudited and reflect all adjustments which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair statement of the results for the periods presented. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. Results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the full year. These comments contain only the information which is required by Form 10-Q. Further reference should be made to the comprehensive disclosures contained in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1998. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Results of Operations --------------------- Consolidated revenues for the nine months and quarter ended September 30, 1999 were 4.2% and 5.1% higher, respectively, compared to the same periods a year ago. Operating profit for the nine months and third quarter of 1999 increased by 16.9% and 6.8% from the comparable periods of 1998. The Company's operating profit margin for the nine months and third quarter in 1999 was 5.4% and 5.7% of revenues, 9 respectively, compared to 4.8% and 5.6% for the nine months and third quarter in 1998. During the second quarter of 1998, the Company incurred $2.3 million of reorganization costs and other non-recurring charges related to Technical Services. Excluding these charges in 1998, the operating profit margin for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 was 5% and consolidated operating profit for the nine month period ended September 30, 1999 increased by 12% in comparison to the comparable period a year ago. Technical Services' revenues for the nine months and third quarter of 1999 increased 3% and 6%, respectively, from last year's comparable periods. Technical Services operating profit for the nine and three month periods ended September 30, 1999 increased 37% and 18%, respectively, in relation to comparable periods in 1998. Operating profit margins for the nine months and third quarter of 1999 were 4.8% and 5.0% of revenue, respectively, compared to 3.7% and 4.5% for the nine months and third quarter in 1998. Second quarter 1998 figures include reorganization costs and other non-recurring charges of $2.3 million. Excluding these charges in 1998, Technical Services= operating profit margin for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 was 4% and operating profit for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 increased by 25% in comparison to the comparable period in 1998. The aforementioned reorganization program is complete. The improvement in Technical Services results reflects the higher margins associated with strength in managed engineering services, increased contract selectivity and ongoing cost containment efforts. Information Technology Services' revenues were up 6% for the nine months of this year and down 1% compared to last year's third quarter. Operating profit increased 11% and 9% during the nine and three month periods ended September 30, 1999 versus comparable periods in 1998. Operating profit margins for the nine months and third quarter of 1999 were 6.7% and 7.2%, respectively, compared to 6.4% and 6.6%, respectively, for the periods in 1998. While 1999 operating results have improved in relation to 1998, the IT staffing market has been very difficult this year for several reasons, including a very tight candidate market, particularly for people with high-end skills. The market also has been affected by slower overall demand as some customers have delayed discretionary projects to reduce potential year-end Y2K complications. However, because of the differences in needed skill sets, delays in discretionary projects have not had a material impact on easing the shortage of candidates with high-demand skills. Management Recruiters' revenues were level for the nine months of this year and up 2% compared to last year's third quarter. Operating profit for the nine month period ended September 30, 1999 decreased 1% but increased 12% for the third quarter over the third quarter of 1998. Operating profit margins for the nine months and third quarter of 1999 were 19.8% and 21.5%, respectively, compared to 20.0% and 19.5%, respectively, for the same periods in 1998. Management Recruiters' first quarter and year-to-date 1999 results include $393,000 in after-tax operating profit related to the settlement of a dispute with a franchisee. While the market has remained strong for Management 10 Recruiters' middle management search and recruiting services, the segments revenue growth in 1999 has been adversely impacted by a tight candidate pool and slower than anticipated growth in large, national contracts. Todays Staffing revenues for the nine months and third quarter of 1999 were 10% and 13% higher, respectively, compared to the same periods a year ago. Operating profit for the nine and three month periods ended September 30, 1999 increased 13.5% and 4.4%, respectively, in relation to comparable periods in 1998. Operating profit margins for the nine months and third quarter of 1999 were 6.6% and 7.2%, respectively, compared to 6.4% and 7.8%, respectively, for the same periods in 1998. The operating profit growth rate was slower than in previous quarters in part because of one-time costs associated with integration of a business acquired earlier in 1999. Demand for office/clerical services continued to be strong. The third quarters of 1999 and 1998 include favorable pre-tax adjustments of $2.0 million and $1.5 million, respectively, resulting from annual actuarial studies of the Company's workers' compensation liabilities. During the first nine months of 1999, the Company capitalized $610,000 of interest in connection with its implementation of an enterprise information system. Interest incurred, net of capitalized amounts, during the nine and three month period ended September 30, 1999, was higher than comparable periods in 1998 because of higher levels of debt outstanding. Corporate expenses were higher in the third quarter as the Company began its transition from development into implementation of an enterprise-wide information system. Implementation expenses for the third quarter of 1999 totaled approximately $1.2 million. During the second quarter 1999, the Company recorded a gain from discontinued operations of $2 million, net of applicable income taxes. This gain primarily resulted from the resolution of certain contingencies and contractual matters that had been pending. Year 2000 --------- Many existing computer systems use two digits to identify a year with the assumption that the first two digits of a year are "19." With the year 2000 approaching, computer systems that are not Year 2000 compliant may read the year 2000 as 1900 and malfunction. The Company's program to assess the extent of issues related to Year 2000 compliance and to develop and implement solutions for those issues is being directed by senior management with the Company's Chief Information Officer having primary responsibility for coordination, remediation and implementation efforts. Designated personnel at the Company's headquarters and at each of the Company's operating locations have been assigned Year 2000 compliance responsibilities. 11 The program is focused on internal information technology systems, computer-aided design systems, non-IT systems (purchased systems with embedded logic chips), facilities and the status of compliance by larger customers, suppliers and other key third parties. The program involves the following phases: Inventory Assessment and planning Remediation or replacement and testing Implementation Contingency/transition planning The internal IT systems compliance issues are most critical and relate to the Company's financial systems, computer networks and communications systems and personnel recruiting and human resource systems. Corporate level personnel have responsibility to insure that these systems will be Year 2000 compliant as well as determining the status of compliance by larger customers, suppliers and other key third parties. Year 2000 compliance related to internal financial systems is being addressed in two ways. First, the Company is replacing its primary financial system with a state-of-the-art integrated enterprise-wide system (ERP). The new system will provide enhanced processing, control and reporting capabilities. The new system will be Year 2000 compliant and is being implemented throughout the majority of the enterprise. Remaining business units will continue to use the remediated legacy systems (for which remediation has been completed and testing is in progress) until converted to the new ERP. A Company-wide expansion and upgrade of its computer networks and communications systems has been underway since mid-1997. The roll out and implementation of the new platform, which is Year 2000 compliant, was substantially completed in the third quarter of 1999. Personnel recruiting and human resource systems are being replaced by new systems which were developed prior to the end of 1997. These new systems are Year 2000 compliant. This roll-out was substantially completed during the second quarter of 1999 and is scheduled to be fully implemented by year end 1999. With respect to larger customers, suppliers and other key third parties, surveys have been conducted for use in assessing their state of compliance in order to develop plans in case of non-compliance. Customers with whom there is electronic interchange of data are of primary focus to ensure that both the Company and those customers are Year 2000 compliant with the standards established for such interchange. 12 The approximate status for each of these areas follows: Remediation Implementation Assessment or and and replacement projected Inventory planning and testing completion ------------- ------------- ------------- -------------- Financial systems Complete Complete Complete Complete Computer networks and communi- cations Substantially Substantially systems Complete Complete complete complete Personnel recruit- ing and human resource systems Complete Complete Complete Q4, 1999 Larger Not customers Complete Complete applicable Complete Larger suppliers and Not others Complete Complete applicable Complete Each operating office is identifying, assessing compliance issues and then implementing solutions for computer-aided design systems, non-IT systems, facilities and the status of compliance by local suppliers and third parties. Solutions for Year 2000 issues related to computer-aided design systems, non-IT systems and facilities will, of necessity, come from vendors and others providing the related services. The Company, however, needs to identify compliance issues and insure that remediation or replacement is accomplished. The Company has to assess their state of compliance in order to develop plans in case of non-compliance. The identification and assessment process was completed during the second quarter, 1999, and all remediation efforts will be completed before year end. The cost of the Company's Year 2000 program is expected to be approximately $2.3 million, all of which will be charged against operations. This amount does not include costs associated with the new financial system or the new personnel recruiting and human resource systems discussed previously. These systems were already scheduled for implementation and their implementation was not accelerated because of Year 2000 issues. 13 As of September 30, 1999, approximately $2.2 million has been spent on the Year 2000 program, most of which relates to the remediation effort associated with the existing financial systems. Capital expenditures through September 30, 1999 on the new financial system and the new personnel recruiting and human resource systems were $21.8 million. It is anticipated that an additional $1.1 million will be invested in these new systems principally during the remainder of 1999. The base functionality and features of these new systems will be further expanded to decrease the Companys dependence on existing legacy systems and better service internal and external customer requirements. Relatedly, installation schedules have been adjusted to accelerate certain large-scale implementations, including related development and configuration in the United States, Canada and the United Kingdom. The Company believes that its program to address Year 2000 compliance is on schedule for completion before the end of 1999. However, there can be no assurance that there will be no material impact as a result of Year 2000 issues, particularly considering the dependence and interdependence that exists with third parties and that resources for remediation and replacement may not be available in the time frame required. Since the Company has a greater level of control over implementing solutions to Year 2000 issues relating to its internal systems, it is more likely that adverse impacts on the Company could originate with third parties rather than with the Company's inability to have its internal systems Year 2000 compliant. If issues related to internal systems or those related to third parties are not resolved before the end of 1999, the consequences to the Company could be material. The Y2K Compliance Project Team is addressing contingency planning. This effort involves the updating of the Company's risk assessment, which considers current and projected project status and its important third-party dependencies. Examples of potential contingency plans may include targeted supply buy-aheads, consideration of alternate suppliers and personnel deployment strategies in the event of unforeseen facility disruption. These plans are scheduled for completion before year-end, 1999. The Company is also developing formal "transition plans" which will document procedures to be implemented immediately before, during and after the turn of the millennium. Examples of transition plans may include increased help desk staffing, expansion of systems (including personal computers), back-up efforts and phased system shutdowns and startups immediately before and after the millennium change. These transition plans are substantially complete. Financial Condition ------------------- The ratio of current assets to current liabilities was 2.5 to 1 as of September 30, 1999 and 2.3 to 1 as of December 31, 1998. The ratio of long-term debt to total capital (long-term debt plus shareholders' equity) was 17% as of September 30, 1999 and 13% as of December 31, 1998. 14 During the nine months ended September 30, 1999, the Company made a number of acquisitions in which it invested $22.7 million. These acquisitions were accounted for using the purchase method. Assets acquired totaled approximately $23 million including $19 million of goodwill. These acquisitions did not have a significant effect on the results of operations for the nine months and quarter ended September 30, 1999. The Company believes that capital resources available from operations and financing arrangements are adequate to support the Company's businesses. New Accounting Standards ------------------------ In June, 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. Statement No. 133 establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments and for hedging activities and is effective for the first quarter of fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000. The Company will determine the extent to which Statement No. 133 applies and adopt the standards established as required. Currently, the Company has no derivative or hedging activities.
