(Unaudited)
(1) BASIS OF PRESENTATION
GP Strategies Corporation ("the Company") was incorporated in Delaware in
1959. As of March 31, 2005, the Company's business consists of its
training and workforce development business operated by General Physics
Corporation ("General Physics" or "GP") and its simulation business
operated by GSE Systems Inc. ("GSE").
The accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2005
and the condensed consolidated statements of operations and cash flows for
the three months ended March 31, 2005 have not been audited, but have been
prepared in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles
for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q
and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. These condensed consolidated financial
statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated
financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2004 as presented in
our Annual Report on Form 10-K/A dated April 5, 2005. In the opinion of
management, this interim information includes all material adjustments,
which are of a normal and recurring nature, necessary for a fair
presentation. The results for the 2005 interim periods are not necessarily
indicative of results to be expected for the entire year. Certain amounts
in 2004 have been reclassified to conform with the presentation for 2005.
Prior to November 24, 2004, the Company had five operating business
segments: Manufacturing & Process, Information Technology, Simulation,
Optical Plastics and Home Improvement Distribution. On November 24, 2004,
the Company completed the distribution, which we refer to as the
"spin-off," of the common stock of National Patent Development Corporation
("NPDC"), which comprised our Optical Plastics and Home Improvement
Distribution segments and certain other non-core assets.
Subsequent to the spin-off, we have reclassified the operations of NPDC as
discontinued in our condensed consolidated financial statements for the
three months ended March 31, 2004.
General Physics is a workforce development company that improves the
effectiveness of organizations by providing training, management
consulting, e-Learning solutions and engineering services that are
customized to meet the specific needs of clients.
GSE develops and delivers business and technology solutions by applying
simulation software, systems and services to energy, process and
manufacturing industries worldwide. In the first quarter of 2005, GSE
incurred a significant operating loss. GSE's revenue and profitability
were primarily impacted by a lower volume of orders logged.

(Unaudited)
The condensed consolidated financial statements include the operations of
the Company and its majority-owned subsidiaries. The minority interests
balance as of March 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004 is comprised of the 43%
minority share in GSE, which the Company did not own. All significant
intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.
(2) INCOME PER SHARE
Basic income per share is based upon the weighted average number of common
shares outstanding, including Class B stock, during the periods. Class B
stockholders have the same rights to share in profits and losses and
liquidation values as common stockholders.
Diluted income per share is based upon the weighted average number of
common shares outstanding during the period assuming the issuance of
common stock for all potential dilutive common stock equivalents
outstanding.

The Company issued 76,000 shares of restricted stock in the period which
are included in the basic weighted average shares outstanding. For the
three months ended March 31, 2005, the dilutive effect of stock options,
warrants, and convertible notes, which totaled 574,000 are not included
since they are anti-dilutive.
The difference between the basic and diluted number of weighted average
shares outstanding for the three months ended March 31, 2005 and 2004
represents dilutive stock options and warrants to purchase shares of
common stock computed under the treasury stock method, using the average
market price during the period.

(3) STOCK BASED COMPENSATION
The Company applies the intrinsic-value-based method of accounting
prescribed by Accounting Principles Board ("APB") Opinion No. 25,
Accounting for Stock Issues to Employees, and related interpretations
including Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Interpretation No.
44, Accounting for Certain Transactions Involving Stock Compensation, an
interpretation of APB Opinion No. 25, to account for its fixed-plan stock
options. Under this method, compensation expense is recorded on the date
of grant only if the current market price of the underlying stock exceeds
the exercise price of the options. SFAS No. 123, Accounting for
Stock-Based Compensation, as amended, established accounting and
disclosure requirements using a fair-value-based method of accounting for
stock-based employee compensation plans. As allowed by SFAS No. 123, the
Company has elected to continue to apply the intrinsic-value-based method
of accounting described above, and has adopted only the disclosure
requirements of SFAS No. 123.
The following table illustrates the effect on net income if the
fair-value-based method had been applied to all outstanding and unvested
awards for the three months ended March 31, 2005 and 2004 (Dollars in
thousands, except per share data):

(a) Pursuant to a Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement dated August 8,
2003, the Company issued and sold to four Gabelli Funds $7,500,000
aggregate principal amount of 6% Conditional Subordinated Notes due
2008 (the "Gabelli Notes") and 937,500 warrants ("GP Warrants"),
each entitling the holder thereof to purchase (subject to
adjustment) one share of the Company's common stock. The aggregate
purchase price for the Gabelli Notes and GP Warrants was $7,500,000.

GP STRATEGIES CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
Three months ended March 31, 2005 and 2004
(Unaudited)
The Gabelli Notes bear interest at 6% per annum payable
semi-annually commencing on December 31, 2003 and mature in August
2008. The Gabelli Notes are secured by a mortgage on the Company's
former property located in Pawling, New York which was distributed
to NPDC. In addition, at any time that less than $1,875,000 of the
principal amount of the Gabelli Notes are outstanding, the Company
may defease the obligations secured by the mortgage and obtain a
release of the mortgage by depositing with an agent for the
Noteholders, bonds or government securities with an investment grade
rating by a nationally recognized rating agency which, without
reinvestment, will provide cash on the maturity date of the Gabelli
Notes in an amount not less than the outstanding principal amount of
the Gabelli Notes.
The GP Warrants have an exercise price of $6.14 per share, as
amended following the spin-off of NPDC, and are exercisable at any
time until August 2008. The exercise price may be paid in cash, by
delivery of the Gabelli Notes, or a combination of the two. The GP
Warrants contain anti-dilution provisions for stock splits,
reorganizations, mergers and similar transactions. The fair value of
the GP Warrants at the date of issuance was $2,389,000, which
reduced long-term debt in the accompanying condensed consolidated
balance sheets.
This amount is being accreted as additional interest expense using
the effective interest rate over the term of the Gabelli Notes. The
Gabelli Notes have a yield to maturity of 15.436% based on the
discounted value. Accretion charged as interest expense was
approximately $102,000 and $89,000 during for the three months ended
March 31, 2005 and 2004 respectively.
In connection with the spin-off, the Company contributed the Pawling
property, subject to the mortgage, to MXL Industries, Inc. (MXL).
MXL assumed the mortgage, but without liability for repayment of the
Gabelli Notes or any other obligations of the Company under the Note
and Warrant Purchase Agreement (other than foreclosure on such
property). If there is a foreclosure on the mortgage for payment of
the Gabelli Notes, the Company has agreed to indemnify MXL for loss
of the value of the property.
(b) The Company has a five-year 5% note due in full on October 21, 2008
in the principal amount of $5,250,955 to ManTech International.
Interest is payable quarterly. Each year during the term of the
note, the holder of the note has the option to convert up to 20% of
the original principal amount of the note into common stock of the
Company at the then market price of the Company's common stock, but
only in the event that the Company's common stock is trading at $10
per share or more. In the event that less than 20% of the principal
amount of the note is not converted in any year, such amount not
converted will be eligible for conversion in each subsequent year
until converted or until the note is repaid in cash.

(5) SHORT-TERM BORROWINGS
(a) GENERAL PHYSICS
General Physics and General Physics' subsidiary, SkillRight, Inc.,
have a two-year $25 million Financing and Security Agreement (the
Credit Agreement) with a bank that expires on August 13, 2006 with
annual renewal options. The "Credit Agreement" is secured by certain
assets of General Physics and provides for an unsecured guaranty
from the Company.
The interest rate on the Credit Agreement is at LIBOR market index
rate plus 3.00%, which as of March 31, 2005 was approximately 5.85%.
Based upon the financial performance of General Physics, the
interest rate can be reduced. The Credit Agreement contains
covenants with respect to General Physics' minimum tangible net
worth, leverage ratio, interest coverage ratio and its ability to
make capital expenditures. The Credit Agreement also contains
certain restrictive covenants including a prohibition on future
acquisitions, incurrence of debt and the payment of dividends.
General Physics is currently restricted from paying dividends or
management fees to the Company in excess of $1,000,000 in any fiscal
year. On March 9, 2005, General Physics received a waiver to loan
GSE a maximum of $1.0 million to satisfy any GSE short-term capital
requirements (the "GSE Loan") as described below. General Physics
was in compliance with all loan covenants under the Credit Agreement
as of March 31, 2005.
The Company repaid in full the $6,068,000 outstanding under the
Credit Agreement as of December 31, 2004 in the first quarter of
2005, using the proceeds received from the arbitration settlement.
As of March 31, 2005, there were no borrowings outstanding under the
Credit Agreement and there was approximately $18,395,000 of
available borrowings based upon 80% of eligible accounts receivable
and 80% of eligible unbilled receivables.
(b) GSE
On March 30, 2004, under the terms of the General Physics' Credit
Agreement, as amended, $1,500,000 of General Physics' Credit
Agreement was allocated for use by GSE. The Credit Agreement was
amended to provide for additional collateral consisting of
substantially all of GSE's assets, as well as certain covenants
specific to GSE. It provides for borrowings by GSE up to 80% of
eligible accounts receivable and 80% of eligible unbilled
receivables, up to a maximum of $1,500,000. The interest rate is
based upon the LIBOR market index rate plus 3%, with interest only
payments due monthly (5.85 % as of March 31, 2005). The Company
agreed to guarantee GSE's borrowings under the Credit Agreement, as
amended, in consideration for a fee pursuant to the Management
Services Agreement. There were no borrowings outstanding at December
31, 2004. As of March 31, 2005, the amount outstanding under the
Credit Agreement was $700,000 and approximately $800,000 was
available to be borrowed under the Credit Agreement. The Company has
classified the borrowings outstanding under the Credit Agreement as
a current obligation.
The Credit Agreement requires GSE to comply with certain financial
ratios. At March 31, 2005, GSE was not in compliance with its debt
service coverage ratio. The Company obtained a letter dated May 9,
2005 in which the lender has agreed to forebear from exercising its
rights under the credit agreement against the Borrowers with respect
to this event of default by GSE until the earlier to occur of (a)
delivery of the quarterly financial statements for the period ending
June 30, 2005 or (b) August 15, 2005.
The GSE Loan, if made by General Physics, will be due and payable by
GSE no later than June 9, 2006 and will be on such other terms and
conditions as are agreed upon by General Physics and GSE. The GSE
Loan would be reduced by any amounts owed by GSE to the Company or
General Physics, primarily in connection with the Management
Services Agreement, which aggregated approximately $570,000 as of
March 31, 2005. Therefore, the availability under the GSE Loan was
approximately
10
GP STRATEGIES CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
Three months ended March 31, 2005 and 2004
(Unaudited)
$430,000 as of March 31, 2005. GSE is seeking additional debt and/or
equity financing, although there can be no assurance that such debt
or equity financing will be available. The Company is currently
evaluating various alternatives with respect to its investment in
GSE. The Company expects to support GSE with its short-term capital
requirements as disclosed. Additional financial support from the
Company would require Board of Director and bank approval.

(8) LITIGATION
On January 3, 2001, the Company commenced an action alleging that MCI
Communications Corporation ("MCI"), MCI's Systemhouse subsidiaries
("Systemhouse"), and Electronic Data Systems Corporation, as successor to
Systemhouse ("EDS"), committed fraud in connection with the Company's 1998
acquisition of Learning Technologies from the defendants for $24,300,000.
The Company seeks actual damages in the amount of $117,900,000 plus
interest, punitive damages in an amount to be determined at trial, and
costs, subject to reduction as set forth below.
The complaint, which is pending in the New York State Supreme Court,
alleges that the defendants fraudulently induced the Company to acquire
Learning Technologies by concealing the poor performance of Learning
Technologies' United Kingdom operation. The complaint also alleges that
the defendants represented that Learning Technologies would continue to
receive new business from Systemhouse even though the defendants knew that
the sale of Systemhouse to EDS was imminent and that such new business
would cease after such sale. In February 2001, the defendants filed
answers denying liability.

No counterclaims against the plaintiffs have been asserted. Although
discovery had not yet been completed, defendants made a motion for summary
judgment, which was submitted in April 2002. The motion was denied by the
court due to the MCI bankruptcy, but with leave to the other defendants to
renew.
The defendants other than MCI then made an application to the court to
stay the fraud action until a later-commenced arbitration, alleging breach
of the acquisition agreement and of a separate agreement to refer business
to General Physics on a preferred provider basis and seeking actual
damages in the amount of $17,600,000 plus interest, was concluded. In a
decision dated May 9, 2003, the court granted the motion and stayed the
fraud action pending the outcome of the arbitration.
The arbitration hearings began on May 17, 2004 and concluded on May 24,
2004 before JAMS, a private dispute resolution firm. On September 10,
2004, the arbitrator issued an interim award in which she found that the
sellers of Learning Technologies breached certain representations and
warranties contained in the acquisition agreement. In a final award dated
November 29, 2004, the arbitrator awarded General Physics $12,273,575 in
damages and $6,016,109 in pre-award interest. (The damages sought in the
litigation are subject to reduction by the $12,273,575 in damages awarded
in the arbitration.) On December 30, 2004, EDS made a payment of
$18,428,486, which included $138,802 of post-award interest, to the
Company to satisfy its obligation under the arbitration award, which cash
was held in escrow as of December 31, 2004. EDS subsequently agreed that
the arbitration award was final and binding and that it would take no
steps of any kind to vacate or otherwise challenge the award. As a result
of the foregoing, the Company recognized a gain on the arbitration award,
net of legal fees and expenses, of $13,660,000 in 2004.
As a result of the conclusion of the arbitration, the state court lifted
the stay of the fraud claim against the defendants other than MCI. On
February 14, 2005, such defendants filed a new motion for summary judgment
dismissing the Company's fraud claim against them. The Company opposed the
motion, which was argued on April 4, 2005. The court has not yet ruled on
the motion, but set a trial date of November 1, 2005 in the event the
summary judgment motion is denied.
The fraud action against MCI had been stayed as a result of the bankruptcy
of MCI. In February 2004, the Bankruptcy Court lifted the stay so that the
state court could rule on the merits of MCI's summary judgment motion. MCI
has asked the Bankruptcy Court to reinstate the stay and to rule on its
summary judgment motion. The Company has argued that it would be more
efficient if the state court ruled on both summary judgment motions. The
Bankruptcy Court has not yet decided whether it or the state court should
determine MCI's summary judgment motion.
In connection with the spin-off of NPDC by the Company, the Company agreed
to make an additional capital contribution to NPDC in an amount equal to
the first $5,000,000 of any proceeds (net of litigation expenses and taxes
incurred, if any), and 50% of any proceeds (net of litigation expenses and
taxes incurred, if any) in excess of $15,000,000, received with respect to
the foregoing arbitration and litigation claims.
Pursuant to such agreement, in January 2005, the Company made a $5,000,000
distribution to NPDC out of the proceeds of the arbitration award. The net
cash proceeds to the Company were approximately $8,500,000 after legal
fees and the distribution to NPDC. A portion of such net proceeds was used
to

reduce to zero the outstanding balance of General Physics' revolving
credit facility, which as of December 31, 2004 was $6.1 million.
The Company is not a party to any legal proceeding, the outcome of which
is believed by management to have a reasonable likelihood of having a
material adverse effect upon the financial condition and operating results
of the Company.
(9) NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123 - Revised (SFAS No. 123R),
"Share-Based Payment", which revises SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for
Stock-Based Compensation", and supersedes APB No. 25, "Accounting for
Stock Issued to Employees." Currently, the Company does not record
compensation expense for certain stock-based compensation. Under SFAS No.
123R, the Company will measure the cost of employee services received in
exchange for stock, based on the grant-date fair value (with limited
exceptions) of the stock award. Such cost will be recognized over the
period during which the employee is required to provide service in
exchange for the stock award (usually the vesting period). The fair value
of the stock award will be estimated using an option-pricing model, with
excess tax benefits, as defined in SFAS No. 123R, being recognized as an
addition to paid in capital. SFAS No. 123R was to be effective as of July
1, 2005. However, on April 14, 2005, the Securities and Exchange
Commission announced that the effective date of SFAS 123R will be
postponed until January 1, 2006, for calendar year companies. The Company
is currently in the process of evaluating the impact of SFAS No. 123R on
its consolidated financial statements.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
General Overview
GP Strategies Corporation ("the Company") consists of its training and workforce
development business operated by General Physics Corporation ("General Physics"
or "GP") and its simulation business operated by GSE Systems Inc. ("GSE").
The Company's primary operating entity is General Physics, a global workforce
development company that improves the effectiveness of organizations by
providing training, management consulting, e-Learning solutions and engineering
services that are customized to meet the specific needs of clients. Clients
include Fortune 500 companies, manufacturing, process and energy companies and
other commercial and governmental customers.
GSE is a leader in real-time high fidelity simulation technology and model
development and provides simulation solutions and services to the power
generation industry, the process industries, and the U.S. Government. In
addition, GSE provides plant monitoring and signal analysis monitoring and
optimization software primarily to the power industry, and develops specialized
software applications for emerging technologies.
Prior to November 24, 2004 the Company had five operating business segments:
Manufacturing & Process, Information Technology, Simulation, Optical Plastics
and Home Improvement Distribution. On November 24, 2004, we completed the
distribution, which we refer to as the "spin-off," of the common stock of
National Patent Development Corporation ("NPDC"), which comprised our Optical
Plastics and Home Improvement Distribution segments and certain other non-core
assets. We reorganized the Manufacturing & Process and Information Technology
segments into the General Physics segment. Effective with the spin-off, the
operations of NPDC were reclassified as discontinued operations for the three
months ended March 31, 2004.
In the first quarter of 2005, GSE incurred significant operating losses. GSE's
profitability and revenue were primarily impacted by a lower volume of orders
logged. Accordingly, GSE's cash position weakened during the quarter, with total
cash decreasing from $848,000 as of December 31, 2004 to $94,000 as of March 31,
2005. GSE has utilized $700,000 of its $1.5 million credit facility as of March
31, 2005 and expects to increase the utilization in the second quarter of 2005.
Approximately $800,000 was available to be borrowed under the Credit Agreement
as of March 31, 2005. The Company has classified the borrowings outstanding
under the Credit Agreement as a current obligation.

Operating Highlights
THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2005 COMPARED TO THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31,
2004
For the three months ended March 31, 2005, the Company had income from
continuing operations before income tax expense and minority interest of
$942,000 compared to $316,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2004. The
improved results were primarily due to increased operating segment income of
$1,469,000 principally by General Physics, as well as reduced corporate general
and administrative expenses at the corporate level of $421,000. These
improvements were offset by a reduction in the operating segment income from GSE
of $1,215,000.
Revenue

General Physics $ 43,727 $ 35,309
GSE 6,126 7,411
----------- -----------
$ 49,853 $ 42,720
=========== ===========
Revenue of General Physics increased by $8.4 million from the three months ended
March 31, 2004 to 2005. The revenue increase is primarily due to the
organization's government training and business process outsource businesses.
Contract awards and contract scopes continue to increase in 2005 for government
training and domestic preparedness services. General Physics also continues to
expand the scope of services it provides to many of its business process and
training outsource customers.
Revenue of GSE decreased by $1.3 million from the three months ended March 31,
2004 to 2005. The decrease reflects the lower order volume logged in 2004.
Gross Profit

--------------------- ----------------------
(Dollars in thousands) % Revenue % Revenue

General Physics $ 5,711 13.1% $ 4,127 11.7%
GSE 868 14.2% 1,575 21.3%
--------- ---- ---------- ----
$ 6,579 13.2% $ 5,702 13.3%
========= ==== ========== ====
General Physics' gross profit of $5.7 million or 13.1% of revenue for the three
months ended March 31, 2005 increased by $1.6 million or 38.4%, when compared to
gross profit of approximately $4.1 million or 11.7% of revenue in 2004. This
increase in gross profit was primarily driven by an increase in revenue from the
17
government training business, an increase in revenue from the business process
outsource and training outsource business, and a decrease in overhead expenses
as a percentage of revenue.
GSE gross profit of $0.9 million or 14.2% of revenue for the three months ended
March 31, 2005 decreased by $0.7 million, when compared to gross profit of $1.6
million, or 21.3% of revenue, in 2004. The decrease was primarily attributable
to a decline in revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2005.
Selling, General and Administrative Expense
SG&A increased $0.6 million or 11.4% from $4.9 million in the three months ended
March 31, 2004 to $5.5 million in 2005. This increase for the three months ended
March 31, 2005 primarily relates to an increase in business development and
other SG&A cost of $0.5 million at GSE and an increase in SG&A at General
Physics of $0.1 million. Corporate SG&A expenses were reduced for the three
months ended March 31, 2005 by approximately $0.6 million due to the spin off of
NPDC. The corporate reduction was offset by a $0.4 increase in the compensation
expense relating to certain stock options to purchase stock of prior affiliates
accounted for using the fair value method and $0.2 million of legal expenses
related to the EDS litigation that were incurred this period.
Interest Expense
The decrease in interest expense of $0.2 million from $0.6 million for the three
months ended March 31, 2004 to $0.4 million in 2005 was primarily attributable
to lower General Physics interest expense, due to the payoff of its short term
borrowings in January of 2005.
Other Income
Other income was $0.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2004 and $0.1
million in 2005.
Income Taxes
Income tax expense increased by approximately $0.6 million from the three months
ended March 31, 2004 to 2005. This increase is due to increased income for the
three months ended March 31, 2005 of the consolidated tax operations. The
Company derived no tax benefit from the $0.9 million loss from GSE operations,
as GSE is not consolidated into the Company's results for federal income tax
purposes.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
As of March 31, 2005, the Company had cash and cash equivalents totaling $5.4
million. The Company believes that cash generated from operations and borrowing
availability under the Credit Agreement (described below), will be sufficient to
fund the working capital and other requirements of the Company for the
foreseeable future.
For the quarter ended March 31, 2005, the Company's working capital increased by
$1.3 million from $20.6 million to $21.9 million.
The increase in cash and cash equivalents of $3.1 million for the three months
ended March 31, 2005 resulted from cash used by investing activities of $0.4
million and cash used by financing activities of $4.9 million; offset by cash
provided by operations of $8.0 million and the effect of exchange rate changes
on cash of $0.3 million. Net cash used by investing activities of $0.4 million
relates to capital expenditures. Net cash used by financing activities of $4.9
million primarily consisted of cash repayments of short-term borrowings of $5.4
million.
18
Cash provided by operations consists of $13.8 million of arbitration proceeds,
$0.7 million depreciation and amortization, $0.1 million non-cash compensation,
offset by a $6.7 million increase in other operating items.
On October 23, 2003, the Company purchased from ManTech International
("ManTech") additional shares of GSE common stock in exchange for a 5% note for
$5.3 million due in full in October 2008. Interest is payable quarterly. Each
year during the term of the note, ManTech has the option to convert up to 20% of
the original principal amount of the note into common stock of the Company at
the then market price of the Company's common stock, but only in the event that
the Company's common stock is trading at $10 per share or more.
General Physics and General Physics' subsidiary SkillRight, Inc. have a two-year
$25 million Credit Agreement with a bank that expires on August 13, 2006 with
annual renewal options. The interest rate on borrowings under the Credit
Agreement is at Libor Market Index Rate plus 3%. The Credit Agreement, as
amended in March 2004 to include GSE, is secured by certain assets of General
Physics. The Credit Agreement also contains certain restrictive covenants.
General Physics is currently restricted from paying dividends and management
fees to the Company in excess of $1.0 million in any fiscal year. On July 30,
2004, General Physics received a waiver and paid the Company an additional $1.0
million. The Company repaid in full the $6.1 million outstanding under the
Credit Agreement as of December 31, 2004 in January of 2005, using the proceeds
received from the EDS arbitration award (see Item 4). On March 9, 2005, General
Physics received a waiver to loan GSE a maximum of $1.0 million to satisfy any
GSE short-term capital requirements over the next 15 months.
Pursuant to a Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement dated August 8, 2003, the
Company issued and sold to four Gabelli funds $7.5 million aggregate principal
amount of 6% Conditional Subordinated Notes due 2008 and 937,500 warrants, each
entitling the holder thereof to purchase (subject to adjustment) one share of
the Company's common stock. The aggregate purchase price for the Gabelli Notes
and GP Warrants was $7.5 million. The Gabelli Notes are secured by a mortgage on
the Company's former property located in Pawling, New York which was distributed
to NPDC in the spin-off. In addition, at any time that less than $1.9 million
principal amount of the Gabelli Notes are outstanding, the Company may defease
the obligations secured by the mortgage and obtain a release of the mortgage.
On March 30, 2004, GSE was added as an additional borrower under the General
Physics Credit Agreement. Under the terms of the Credit Agreement, as amended,
$1.5 million of General Physics' Credit Agreement has been allocated for use by
GSE. The Credit Agreement was amended to provide for additional collateral
consisting of substantially all of the GSE's assets as well as certain covenants
specific to GSE. The interest rate is based upon the LIBOR Market Index Rate
plus 3%, with interest only payments due monthly. The Company agreed to
guarantee GSE's borrowings under the Credit Agreement, as amended, in
consideration for a fee pursuant to the Management Services Agreement.
The Credit Agreement requires GSE to comply with certain financial ratios. At
March 31, 2005, GSE was not in compliance with its debt service coverage ratio.
The Company obtained a letter dated May 9, 2005 in which the lender has agreed
to forebear from exercising its rights under the credit agreement against the
Borrowers with respect to this event of default by GSE until the earlier to
occur of (a) delivery of the quarterly financial statements for the period
ending June 30, 2005 or (b) August 15, 2005.
The GSE Loan, if made by General Physics, will be due and payable by GSE no
later than June 9, 2006 and will be on such other terms and conditions as are
agreed upon by General Physics and GSE. The GSE Loan would be reduced by any
amounts owed by GSE to the Company or General Physics, primarily in connection
with the Management Services Agreement, which aggregated approximately $570,000
as of March 31, 2005. Therefore, the availability under the GSE Loan was
approximately $430,000 as of March 31, 2005. GSE is seeking additional debt
and/or equity financing, although there can be no assurance that such debt or
equity financing will be available. The Company is currently evaluating various
alternatives with respect to its investment in GSE. The Company expects to
support GSE with its short-term capital requirements as disclosed. Additional
financial support from the Company would require Board of Director and bank
approval.
19
NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123 - Revised (SFAS No. 123R),
"Share-Based Payment", which revises SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation", and supersedes APB No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to
Employees." Currently, the Company does not record compensation expense for
certain stock-based compensation. Under SFAS No. 123R, the Company will measure
the cost of employee services received in exchange for stock, based on the
grant-date fair value (with limited exceptions) of the stock award. Such cost
will be recognized over the period during which the employee is required to
provide service in exchange for the stock award (usually the vesting period).
The fair value of the stock award will be estimated using an option-pricing
model, with excess tax benefits, as defined in SFAS No. 123R, being recognized
as an addition to paid in capital. SFAS No. 123R was to be effective as of July
1, 2005. However, on April 14, 2005, the Securities and Exchange Commission
announced that the effective date of SFAS 123R will be postponed until January
1, 2006, for calendar year companies. The Company is currently in the process of
evaluating the impact of SFAS No. 123R on its consolidated financial statements.
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
The forward-looking statements contained herein reflect GP Strategies'
management's current views with respect to future events and financial
performance. We use words such as "expects", "intends" and "anticipates" to
indicate forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are
subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to
differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements, all of which are
difficult to predict and many of which are beyond the control of GP Strategies,
including, but not limited to, our inability to generate funds by selling any
assets that were included in the spin-off, the ability of GSE to secure
additional financing, our holding company structure, failure to continue to
attract and retain personnel, loss of business from significant customers,
failure to keep pace with technology, changing economic conditions, competition,
our ability to implement procedures that will reduce the likelihood that
material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting will not occur
in the future, and those other risks and uncertainties detailed in GP
Strategies' periodic reports and registration statements filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission.
If any one or more of these expectations and assumptions proves incorrect,
actual results will likely differ materially from those contemplated by the
forward-looking statements. Even if all of the foregoing assumptions and
expectations prove correct, actual results may still differ materially from
those expressed in the forward-looking statements as a result of factors we may
not anticipate or that may be beyond our control. While we cannot assess the
future impact that any of these differences could have on our business,
financial condition, results of operations and cash flows or the market price of
shares of our common stock, the differences could be significant. We do not
undertake to update any forward-looking statements made by us.
20
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK
The Company has no material changes to the disclosure on this matter made in its
report on Form 10-K/A for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2004.
GSE's most significant market risk is changes in foreign currency exchange
rates. GSE's exposure to foreign exchange rate fluctuations arises in part from
inter-company accounts in which costs incurred in one entity are charged to
other entities in different foreign jurisdictions. GSE is also exposed to
foreign exchange rate fluctuations as the financial results of all foreign
subsidiaries are translated into U.S. dollars in consolidation. As exchange
rates vary, those results when translated may vary from expectations and
adversely impact overall expected profitability.
GSE utilizes various derivative financial instruments to manage market risks
associated with the fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. It is GSE's
policy to use derivative financial instruments to protect against market risk
arising in the normal course of business. GSE monitors its foreign currency
exposures to maximize the overall effectiveness of its foreign currency
positions. GSE's objectives for holding derivatives are to minimize the risks
using the most effective methods to reduce the impact of these exposures. GSE
minimizes credit exposure by limiting counterparties to nationally recognized
financial institutions. As of March 31, 2005, GSE had foreign currency contracts
for sale of $3.6 million Japanese Yen at fixed rates. The contracts expire at
various dates through May 2007. The Company has not designated the contracts as
hedges, and accordingly, has recorded the fair value of approximately $0.2
million of these contracts in the consolidated balance sheet.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
We carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation
of our management including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial
Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure
controls and procedures pursuant to Rule 13-15(b) of the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934, as amended. Based upon that evaluation and the material weaknesses
described below, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer
concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were not
effective as of the date covered by this report.
As discussed more fully in Item 9A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K/A-2 dated
April 29, 2005, for the year ended December 31, 2004, in connection with our
audit of our financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2004,
we determined that the Company's policies and procedures did not provide for
adequate management oversight and review of the Company's income tax accounting.
This lack of adequate management oversight and review of the Company's income
tax accounting resulted in material errors in the Company's income tax
provision, which were identified and corrected prior to the issuance of the
accompanying 2004 consolidated financial statements. This deficiency represents
more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of the Company's
annual or interim financial statements would not have been prevented or
detected.
The Company's policies and procedures did not provide for adequate management
oversight and review of the Company's consolidated financial statements and
footnote disclosures. In addition, the Company did not have adequate technical
resources to ensure the timely completion and review of its consolidated
financial statements and footnote disclosures. These deficiencies resulted in
material errors in the consolidated financial statements, primarily the number
of weighted average common shares outstanding used in the earnings per share
calculation, the presentation of cash flows from operating and financing
activities, and certain financial statement footnote disclosures related to
income taxes and stock-based compensation, which were identified and corrected
prior to the issuance of the accompanying 2004 consolidated financial
statements. These deficiencies represent more
21
than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of the Company's annual or
interim financial statements would not have been prevented or detected.
Based on the material weaknesses described above, management concluded that the
Company's internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of
December 31, 2004. This assessment is based on management's conclusion that as
of December 31, 2004, there was more than a remote likelihood that a material
misstatement of the Company's annual or interim financial statements would not
be prevented or detected on a timely basis by Company employees in the normal
course of performing their assigned functions.
As a result, we implemented changes in certain of our internal controls over
financial reporting during the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2005, as follows:
- The Company has, subsequent to December 31, 2004, revised its
processes and procedures to prepare the consolidated income tax
provision and the consolidated financial statements and footnote
disclosures, and implemented additional management review controls
over the related processes.
- The Company is in the process of hiring an additional technical
resource to dedicate to the Company's financial reporting
requirements.
We will continue to evaluate the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and
procedures and our internal controls over financial reporting on an ongoing
basis, and will take further action as appropriate. However, there can be no
assurance that our controls and procedures will prevent or detect material
misstatement of the Company's annual or interim financial statements.
