GP STRATEGIES CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
Three and six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004
(Unaudited)
(1) BASIS OF PRESENTATION
GP Strategies Corporation ("the Company") was incorporated in Delaware in
1959. Through March 31, 2005, the Company operated under two business
segments which consisted 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").
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.
On April 26, 2005, the Board of Directors elected Scott N. Greenberg, who
was then President and Chief Financial Officer of the Company, to the
additional position of Chief Executive Officer ("CEO") of the Company,
succeeding Jerome I. Feldman. As a result of Mr. Greenberg's appointment
as CEO, the Company re-evaluated its reportable business segments under
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 131, Disclosures
about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information. Based on the
information which Mr. Greenberg reviews in order to assess the performance
of the Company and make decisions regarding the allocation of resources,
the Company determined that it has three reportable business segments
effective with Mr. Greenberg's appointment as CEO. General Physics now
consists of two reportable business segments: 1) Process, Energy &
Government; and 2) Manufacturing & Business Process Outsourcing. GSE
continues to be one reportable business segment. Information regarding
these business segments is discussed in more detail in Note 7, Business
Segments.
On November 24, 2004, the Company completed the spin-off of National
Patent Development Corporation ("NPDC"). Subsequent to the spin-off, the
results of operations of NPDC are presented as discontinued in our
condensed consolidated financial statements for the three and six months
ended June 30, 2004.
During the six months ended June 30, 2005, GSE incurred a significant
operating loss. GSE's revenue and profitability were primarily impacted by
a lower volume of orders logged in 2004 coupled with the delay of two
large international simulator orders which GSE now anticipates receiving
in the third quarter of 2005 (see Note 5).
On June 20, 2005, the Board of Directors approved the Company's plan to
spin-off its 57% interest in GSE through a special dividend to the
Company's stockholders. Stockholders will receive in the spin-off a
pro-rata share of GSE common stock based on the number of shares of the
Company's common stock or Class B stock held on the record date, which
will be determined on a future date. On July 8, 2005, GSE filed a
registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission
relating to the shares of GSE to be distributed in the spin-off. The
Company anticipates that the record date will be set and the spin-off will
occur shortly after such registration statement is declared effective.
The condensed consolidated financial statements include the operations of
the Company and its majority-owned subsidiaries. The minority interest
balance is comprised of the minority share in GSE of 43% as of June 30,
2005 and 42% as of December 31 2004, which the Company did not own. All
significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.

The accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2005,
the condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three and six
months ended June 30, 2005, and the condensed consolidated statement of
cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 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
May 16, 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 for 2004 have been reclassified to
conform with the presentation for 2005.
(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.
Income per share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004
is as follows (in thousands, except per share data):

The Company issued 76,000 shares of fully vested stock awards during the first
quarter of 2005 which are included in the basic weighted average shares
outstanding. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2005, stock options,
warrants, and convertible notes totaling 574,000 shares for both periods were
not dilutive and were excluded from the computation of diluted income per share.
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2004, stock options, warrants, and
convertible notes totaling 2,063,000 for both periods were not dilutive and were
excluded from the computation of diluted income per share.
The difference between the basic and diluted number of weighted average shares
outstanding for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004 represents
dilutive stock options and warrants, computed under the treasury stock method
using the average market price during the period. The difference between the
basic and diluted number of weighted average shares outstanding for the three
months ended June 30, 2005 also includes dilutive non-vested restricted stock
awards granted during the second quarter of 2005, computed under the treasury
stock method using average market price.

(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 Issued 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 and six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004 (in
thousands, except per share data):

The Company granted 1,000 options during the first quarter of 2005 and no
options during the second quarter of 2005. The per share weighted-average
fair value of the Company's stock options granted during the six months
ended June 30, 2005 and 2004 were $3.35 and $1.46, respectively, on the
date of grant using the modified Black-Scholes option-pricing model with
the following weighted-average assumptions:

GSE granted 600,000 stock options with an average exercise price of $1.85
during the first quarter of 2005, all of which immediately vested.
Outstanding GSE options relate to grants to employees and directors of
GSE. GSE did not grant any stock options during the second quarter of
2005.
In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123R, Share-Based Payment,
which changed the accounting for stock-based compensation to require
companies to expense stock options and other equity awards based on their
grant-date fair values. SFAS No. 123R is discussed in more detail in Note
11, Accounting Standard Issued.

(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
8
GP STRATEGIES CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
Three and six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004
(Unaudited)
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.
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 $103,000 and $89,000 for the three months ended
June 30, 2005, respectively, and approximately $205,000 and $177,000
for the six months ended June 30, 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.
(c) On May 26, 2005, GSE issued and sold to Dolphin Direct Equity
Partners, LP, a Senior Subordinated Secured Convertible Note in the
aggregate principal amount of $2,000,000, maturing March 31, 2009
(the "Dolphin Note"), and a seven-year warrant to purchase 380,952
shares of GSE

(Unaudited)
common stock at an exercise price of $2.22 per share (the "GSE
Warrant"). The Dolphin Note is convertible into 1,038,961 shares of
GSE common stock at a conversion price of $1.925 per share and
accrues interest at 8% payable quarterly. Both the convertible note
and the warrant are subject to anti-dilution provisions for stock
splits, reorganizations, mergers and similar transactions. The
aggregate purchase price for the Dolphin Note and GSE Warrant was
$2,000,000. At the date of issuance, the fair value of the GSE
Warrant was $374,000 and the fair value of the conversion option of
the Dolphin Note was $959,000, which were recorded as other
noncurrent liabilities, with the offset recorded as an original
issue discount (OID). The OID is accreted over the term of the
Dolphin Note and charged to interest expense and the unamortized
balance reduces long-term debt in the accompanying condensed
consolidated balance sheets. The noncurrent liabilities related to
the GSE Warrant and the conversion option are marked to market
through earnings on a quarterly basis in accordance with Emerging
Issues Task Force (EITF) 00-19, Accounting for Derivative Financial
Instruments Indexed to, and Potentially Settled in a Company's Own
Stock.

have a three-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 the daily LIBOR
market index rate plus 3.00%, which as of June 30, 2005 was
approximately 6.32%. 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. General Physics was in compliance with
all loan covenants under the Credit Agreement as of June 30, 2005.
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. In
connection with GSE's sale and issuance of the Dolphin Note and GSE
Warrant (see note 4), General Physics' commitment to loan GSE $1.0
million was terminated.
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
discussed in more detail in Note 8, Litigation. As of June 30, 2005,
the Company had no borrowings outstanding under the Credit Agreement
and there was approximately $20,712,000 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 daily LIBOR market index rate plus 3%, with interest
only payments due monthly (6.32% as of June 30, 2005). The Company
agreed to guarantee GSE's borrowings under the Credit Agreement, as
amended, in consideration for a fee pursuant to its management
services agreement with GSE. There were no borrowings outstanding at
December 31, 2004. As of June 30, 2005, GSE had borrowings of
$675,000 and a letter of credit for $50,000 and approximately
$775,000 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 both March 31, 2005 and June 30, 2005, GSE was not in
compliance with its debt service coverage ratio. The Company
obtained a letter dated August 4, 2005 in which the lender has
agreed to forbear from exercising its rights under the Credit
Agreement against the borrowers with respect to this event of
default by GSE until delivery of the annual financial statements for
the year ended December 31, 2005. The lender will charge GSE a fee
of approximately $2,500 as compensation for the waiver.

(7) BUSINESS SEGMENTS
As discussed in Note 1, the Company re-evaluated its reportable business
segments during the second quarter of 2005 due to the appointment of Scott
N. Greenberg as CEO. Based on the information which Mr. Greenberg reviews
in order to assess the performance of the Company and make decisions
regarding the allocation of resources, the Company determined that it has
three reportable business segments effective with Mr. Greenberg's
appointment as CEO. General Physics now consists of two reportable
business segments: 1) Process, Energy & Government; and 2) Manufacturing &
Business Process Outsourcing (BPO). GSE continues to be one reportable
business segment. As a result of the change in its reportable business
segments, the Company has restated the segment information below for all
prior periods presented to conform to the current period's presentation.
The Process, Energy & Government segment provides engineering consulting,
design and evaluation services regarding facilities, the environment,
processes and systems, staff augmentation, curriculum design and
development, and training and technical services primarily to federal and
state governmental agencies, large government contractors, petroleum and
chemical refining companies, and electric power utilities.
The Manufacturing & BPO segment provides training, curriculum design and
development, staff augmentation, system hosting, integration and help desk
support, business process outsourcing, and consulting and technical
services to large companies in the automotive, pharmaceutical,
electronics, and other industries as well as to governmental clients.
GSE provides simulation solutions and services to the nuclear and fossil
electric utility industry, as well as process industries such as the
chemical and petrochemical industries. In addition, GSE provides plant
monitoring, security access and control and signal analysis monitoring and
optimization software primarily to the power industry.
The Company does not allocate the following corporate items to the
segments: other income and interest expense; selling, general and
administrative expense; and income tax expense. Inter-segment revenue is
eliminated in consolidation and is not significant.

(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 was filed 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
13

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
Three and six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004
(Unaudited)
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 the Company and EDS completed a
later-commenced arbitration, in which the Company alleged 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 General
Physics 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. On June 6, 2005, the court
issued a decision on the motion for summary judgment refusing to dismiss
the Company's claims against EDS and Systemhouse relating to false
representations concerning the financial condition of Learning
Technologies' United Kingdom operation and held that the Company had
presented evidence sufficient to raise triable issues of fact as to
whether defendants provided the Company with financial projections which
they knew to be false or unreasonable, and made representations or
omissions indicating that Learning Technologies' United Kingdom operation
was on track to achieve revenue targets which they knew it would be unable
to achieve. However, the court dismissed the Company's claim that it had
been fraudulently induced to acquire Learning Technologies based on false
representations that Systemhouse was not for sale. A trial date of
November 1, 2005 has been set. The Company has requested a jury trial.
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) RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Management Services Agreements Between NPDC and the Company
Prior to the spin-off, NPDC was a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.
In connection with the spin-off, NPDC entered into a separate management
agreement with the Company pursuant to which the Company provides certain
general corporate services to NPDC.
Corporate Tax, Legal Support, and Executive Management Consulting Services
The Company has four associates, including the Chief Executive Officer and
Chief Legal Officer who also provide services to NPDC under a management
services agreement, for which the Company is reimbursed for such services.
Services under the agreement relate to corporate federal and state income
taxes, corporate legal services, corporate secretarial administrative
support, and executive management consulting. The term of the agreement
extends for three years from the date of the spin-off, or through November
24, 2007, and may be terminated by either NPDC or the Company on or after
July 30, 2006 with 180 days prior written notice. For the three and six
months ended June 30, 2005, the Company charged NPDC $362,000 and
$656,000, respectively, for services under this management agreement,
based on an agreed upon allocation of actual costs incurred by the Company
on behalf of NPDC. Pursuant to an amendment to the management agreement
effective July 1, 2005, NPDC will pay the Company an annual fee of not
less than $970,000 as compensation for these services, payable in equal
monthly installments.
Corporate Office Lease
NPDC continues to occupy a portion of corporate office space leased by the
Company. NPDC compensates the Company approximately $205,000 annually for
use of this space. The Company's lease extends through December 31, 2006.
In connection with the spin-off of NPDC, the Company also entered into a
separate management agreement with NPDC pursuant to which it was
anticipated that the Company would receive certain general corporate
services from NPDC. No such services have been required or provided, so
the Company
15

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)
and NPDC entered into a termination agreement effective as of July 1, 2005
terminating the management agreement.
(10) COMMITMENTS
Effective April 11, 2005, General Physics entered into employment
agreements with certain of its officers, resulting in committed
compensation of approximately $2.0 million annually. These agreements
have employment terms expiring in 2007, provide for grants of restricted
stock units pursuant to the Company's 2003 Incentive Stock Plan, contain
non-compete covenants and change of control and termination provisions.
(11) ACCOUNTING STANDARD ISSUED
In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123 - Revised, Share-Based
Payment (SFAS No. 123R), 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,
based on Final Rule 74 issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission in
April 2005, which delayed the implementation of SFAS No. 123R, the Company
plans to adopt SFAS No. 123R effective January 1, 2006. The Company
expects to adopt SFAS No. 123R using the Modified Prospective Application
method without restatement of prior periods. Under this method, the
Company will begin to amortize compensation cost for the remaining portion
of its outstanding awards on the adoption date for which the requisite
service has not yet been rendered. Compensation cost for these awards will
be based on the fair value of the awards as disclosed on a pro-forma basis
under SFAS 123 in Note 3, Stock Based Compensation. The Company will
account for awards that are granted, modified, or settled after the
adoption date in accordance with SFAS No. 123R. 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
Through March 31, 2005, the Company operated under two business segments
which consisted 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"). General
Physics is 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. 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.
On April 26, 2005, the Board of Directors elected Scott N. Greenberg, who
was then President and Chief Financial Officer of the Company, to the
additional position of Chief Executive Officer ("CEO") of the Company,
succeeding Jerome I. Feldman. As a result of Mr. Greenberg's appointment
as CEO, the Company re-evaluated its reportable business segments under
SFAS No. 131, Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related
Information. Based on the information which Mr. Greenberg reviews in order
to assess the performance of the Company and make decisions regarding the
allocation of resources, the Company determined that it has three
reportable business segments effective with Mr. Greenberg's appointment as
CEO. General Physics now consists of two reportable business segments: 1)
Process, Energy & Government; and 2) Manufacturing & Business Process
Outsourcing (BPO). GSE continues to be one reportable business segment. As
a result of the change in the Company's reportable business segments, all
prior period information presented herein has been restated to conform to
the current period's presentation.
The Process, Energy & Government segment provides engineering consulting,
design and evaluation services regarding facilities, the environment,
processes and systems, staff augmentation, curriculum design and
development, and training and technical services primarily to federal and
state governmental agencies, large government contractors, petroleum and
chemical refining companies, and electric power utilities.
The Manufacturing & BPO segment provides training, curriculum design and
development, staff augmentation, system hosting, integration and help desk
support, business process outsourcing, and consulting and technical
services to large companies in the automotive, pharmaceutical,
electronics, and other industries as well as to governmental clients.
On November 24, 2004, the Company completed the spin-off of National
Patent Development Corporation ("NPDC"). Subsequent to the spin-off, the
results of operations of NPDC are presented as discontinued operations for
the three and six months ended June 30, 2004.
During the six months ended June 30, 2005, GSE incurred a significant
operating loss. GSE's profitability and revenue were primarily impacted by
a lower volume of orders logged. In addition, GSE has continued to spend
heavily on business development activities in order to expand its
simulation business into new sectors, such as the U.S. military and
homeland security markets. GSE's cash position weakened during the six
months ended June 30, 2005, with total cash decreasing from $868,000 as of
December 31, 2004 to $294,000 as of June 30, 2005. As a result, GSE issued
and sold to Dolphin Direct Equity Partners, LP, a Senior Subordinated
Secured
17
Convertible Note in the aggregate principal amount of $2,000,000, maturing
March 31, 2009 (the "Dolphin Note"), and a seven-year warrant to purchase
380,952 shares of GSE common stock at an exercise price of $2.22 per share
(the "GSE Warrant"). The note is convertible into 1,038,961 shares of GSE
common stock at a conversion price of $1.925 per share and accrues
interest at 8% payable quarterly. The aggregate purchase price for the
Dolphin Note and GSE Warrant was $2,000,000. In connection with this
transaction, General Physics' commitment to loan GSE up to $1,000,000 has
been terminated.
Additionally, GSE has utilized $725,000 of its $1.5 million credit
facility as of June 30, 2005, including $50,000 for a letter of credit.
Approximately $775,000 was available to be borrowed under the Credit
Agreement as of June 30, 2005. The Company has classified the borrowings
outstanding under the Credit Agreement as a current obligation.
On June 20, 2005, the Board of Directors approved the Company's plan to
spin-off its 57% interest in GSE through a special dividend to the
Company's stockholders. Stockholders will receive in the spin-off a
pro-rata share of GSE common stock based on the number of shares of the
Company's common stock or Class B stock held on the record date, which
will be determined on a future date. On July 8, 2005, GSE filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission a registration statement relating to
the shares of GSE to be distributed in the spin-off. The Company
anticipates that the record date will be set and the spin-off will occur
shortly after such registration statement is declared effective.
General Physics' backlog for services under signed contracts and
subcontracts was approximately $96.9 million as of June 30, 2005. GSE's
backlog was approximately $14.7 million as of June 30, 2005.

Operating Highlights
THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2005 COMPARED TO THE THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE
30, 2004
For the second quarter of 2005, the Company had income from continuing
operations before income tax expense and minority interest of $2,163,000
compared to $773,000 for the second quarter of 2004. The improved results
were primarily due to increased operating income of $1,311,000 for General
Physics' two business segments, as well as reduced general and
administrative expenses at the corporate level. These improvements were
offset by a reduction in the operating segment income from GSE of
$676,000. Government revenue accounted for approximately 39% of General
Physics' revenue for the quarter ended June 30, 2005.

======= =======
Process, Energy & Government segment revenue increased $1.6 million or
8.3% during the second quarter of 2005 compared to the same period of
2004. The increase is primarily due to an increase in government, homeland
security, and various other training services. New contract awards and
increased contract scopes to provide these services to existing customers
led to increased revenue during the second quarter of 2005.
Manufacturing & BPO segment revenue increased $2.6 million or 12.7% during
the second quarter of 2005 compared to the same period of 2004. The
increase is due to an increase in business process outsourcing services
provided to customers primarily in the electronics industry, increased
system implementation and hosting services primarily to the federal
government, and increases in other professional development and training
courses provided to customers in the manufacturing industry. We continue
to expand the scope of services provided to business process and training
outsource customers.
GSE's revenue decreased $886,000 or 11.9% during the second quarter of
2005 compared to the same period of 2004. The decrease reflects a lower
order volume logged in 2004.

Process, Energy & Government gross profit of $4.1 million or 19.4% of
revenue for the second quarter of 2005 increased by $421,000 or 11.6% when
compared to gross profit of approximately $3.6 million or 18.8% of revenue
for the same period of 2004. This increase in gross profit was primarily
driven by an increase in revenue for training services provided to our
government and energy customers. The increase in gross profit as a
percentage of revenue is primarily due to a decrease in overhead expenses
as a percentage of revenue as our infrastructure costs have not increased
at the same rate as our contract revenue growth.
Manufacturing & BPO gross profit of $2.5 million or 10.8% of revenue for
the second quarter of 2005 increased by $1.2 million or 98.7% when
compared to gross profit of approximately $1.2 million or 6.1% of revenue
for the same period of 2004. This increase in gross profit was primarily
driven by an increase in revenue from business process outsourcing and
training outsourcing services. The increase in gross profit as a
percentage of revenue is primarily due to a decrease in overhead expenses
as a percentage of revenue as our infrastructure costs have not increased
at the same rate as our contract revenue growth.
GSE gross profit was $1.5 million or 22.2% of revenue for the three months
ended June 30, 2005 compared to gross profit of $1.4 million or 19.1% of
revenue in the same period of 2004, which is relatively flat for these
comparative periods.
Selling, General and Administrative Expense
SG&A expenses increased $0.2 million from $5.1 million for the second
quarter of 2004 to $5.3 million for the second quarter of 2005. This net
increase is primarily related to higher legal and accounting fees and
certain facility costs at GSE. These increases were partially offset by a
decrease in corporate SG&A expenses primarily due to the spin off of NPDC
in November 2004, which were not allocable to discontinued operations.
Interest Expense
Interest expense decreased $0.1 million from $0.5 million for the second
quarter of 2004 to $0.4 million for the second quarter of 2005. The
decrease was primarily attributable to General Physics' payoff of its
short term borrowings in January of 2005.
Other Income (Expense)
Other expense was $0.1 million for the second quarter of 2005 compared to
other income of $0.1 million for the same period of 2004. The increase in
expense is primarily due to the reduction in estimated fair value of GSE
foreign currency contracts for the sale of Japanese Yen at fixed rates
which is recorded in other expense.
20
Income Taxes
Income tax expense increased by approximately $0.8 million from $0.4
million for the second quarter of 2004 to $1.2 million for the second
quarter of 2005. This increase is due to increased income for the
consolidated tax operations for the second quarter of 2005. The Company
derived no tax benefit from the $0.4 million loss from GSE operations for
the three months ended June 30, 2005, as GSE is not consolidated into the
Company's results for federal income tax purposes.
SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2005 COMPARED TO THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30,
2004
For the six months ended June 30, 2005, the Company had income from
continuing operations before income tax expense and minority interest of
$3,105,000 compared to $1,089,000 for the same period in 2004. The
improved results were primarily due to increased operating income of
$2,780,000 for General Physics' two business segments, as well as reduced
general and administrative expenses at the corporate level. These
improvements were offset by a reduction in the operating segment income
from GSE of $1,891,000. Government revenue accounted for approximately
39% of General Physics' revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2005.

Process, Energy & Government segment revenue increased $4.9 million or
12.7% during the six months ended June 30, 2005 compared to the same
period of 2004. The increase is primarily due to an increase in
government, homeland security, and various other training services. New
contract awards and increased contract scopes to provide these services to
existing customers led to increased revenue during the first six months of
2005.
Manufacturing & BPO segment revenue increased $7.7 million or 21.1% during
the six months ended June 30, 2005 compared to the same period of 2004.
The increase is due to an increase in business process outsourcing
services provided to customers primarily in the electronics industry,
increased system implementation and hosting services primarily to the
federal government, and increases in other professional development and
training courses provided to customers in the manufacturing industry. We
continue to expand the scope of services provided to business process and
training outsource customers.
GSE revenue decreased $2.2 million or 14.6% during the six months ended
June 30, 2005 compared to the same period of 2004. The decrease reflects a
lower order volume logged in 2004.

Process, Energy & Government gross profit of $7.8 million or 18.0% of
revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2005 increased by $1.2 million
or 18.0% when compared to gross profit of approximately $6.6 million or
17.2% of revenue for the same period of 2004. This increase in gross
profit was primarily driven by an increase in revenue for training
services provided to our government and energy customers. The increase in
gross profit as a percentage of revenue is primarily due to a decrease in
overhead expenses as a percentage of revenue as our infrastructure costs
have not increased at the same rate as our contract revenue growth.
Manufacturing & BPO gross profit of $4.5 million or 10.1% of revenue for
the six months ended June 30, 2005 increased by $2.0 million or 84.6% when
compared to gross profit of approximately $2.4 million or 6.6% of revenue
for the same period of 2004. This increase in gross profit was primarily
driven by an increase in revenue from business process outsourcing and
training outsourcing services. The increase in gross profit as a
percentage of revenue is primarily due to a decrease in overhead expenses
as a percentage of revenue as our infrastructure costs have not increased
at the same rate as our contract revenue growth.
GSE gross profit of $2.3 million or 18.3% of revenue for the six months
ended June 30, 2005 decreased by $0.7 million or 22.3% when compared to
gross profit of $3.0 million or 20.2% of revenue for the same period of
2004. The decrease in gross profit is primarily attributable to the lower
revenue base to cover GSE's relatively fixed overhead costs.
Selling, General and Administrative Expense
SG&A increased $0.8 million or 7.4% from $10.0 million for the six months
ended June 30, 2004 to $10.8 million for the same period of 2005. This net
increase is primarily related to higher legal and accounting fees and
certain facility costs at GSE. These increases were partially offset by a
decrease in corporate SG&A expenses primarily due to the spin off of NPDC
in November 2004, which were not allocable to discontinued operations.
Interest Expense
Interest expense decreased $0.3 million from $1.1 million for the six
months ended June 30, 2004 to $0.8 million for the same period of 2005.
The decrease was primarily attributable to General Physics' payoff of its
short term borrowings in January of 2005.
Other Income (Expense)
Other income was $0.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005
compared to $0.2 million for the same period of 2004. The decrease
compared to the prior period is primarily due to a decrease in interest
income on
22
loans receivable. Additionally, GSE recorded a reduction in the estimated
fair value of foreign currency contracts for the sale of Japanese Yen at
fixed rates which is included in other expense.
Income Taxes
Income tax expense increased by approximately $1.4 million from $0.6
million for the six months ended June 30, 2004 to $2.0 million for the
same period of 2005. This increase is due to increased income of the
consolidated tax operations for the six months ended June 30, 2005. The
Company derived no tax benefit from the $1.4 million loss from GSE
operations for the six months ended June 30, 2005, as GSE is not
consolidated into the Company's results for federal income tax purposes.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
WORKING CAPITAL AND CASH FLOWS
As of June 30, 2005, the Company had cash and cash equivalents totaling
$6.9 million. The Company believes that cash generated from operations and
borrowing availability under its Credit Agreement (described below), will
be sufficient to fund the working capital and other requirements of the
Company for the foreseeable future. During the six months ended June 30,
2005, the Company's working capital increased by $6.7 million from $20.6
million at December 31, 2004 to $27.3 million at June 30, 2005.
The Company's cash balance increased $4.5 million from $2.4 million at
December 31, 2004 to $6.9 million at June 30, 2005. The increase in cash
and cash equivalents during the six months ended June 30, 2005 resulted
from cash provided by operating activities of $8.2 million, offset by cash
used by investing activities of $0.4 million, cash used by financing
activities of $3.2 million, and a negative effect of exchange rate changes
on cash of approximately $0.1 million.
Cash Flows from Operating Activities
Cash provided by operating activities was $8.2 million for the six months
ended June 30, 2005 compared to cash used in operating activities of $4.1
million for the same period of 2004. The increase in cash compared to the
prior period is primarily due to $1.2 million higher net income in 2005
compared to 2004, proceeds from the EDS lawsuit arbitration of $13.8
million in 2005, and increased non-cash compensation expense in 2005
compared to 2004. These increases in cash flows from operating activities
were offset by a decrease in changes in other operating items by
approximately $3.1 million, primarily due to a decrease in accrued
expenses related to the payout of $5 million of the EDS arbitration
proceeds to NPDC in 2005 which were accrued for in 2004. The remainder of
the change in other operating items is due to favorable changes in working
capital.
Cash Flows from Investing Activities
Cash used by investing activities was $0.4 million for the six months
ended June 30, 2005 compared to cash provided by investing activities of
$0.1 million for the same period of 2004. The decrease in cash is
primarily due to proceeds from the sale of marketable securities of
approximately $1.0 million in 2004 that did not recur in 2005. This
increase in cash used by investing activities was offset by a decrease in
capital expenditures for property, plant and equipment of approximately
$0.5 million during the six months ended June 30, 2005 compared to the
same period of 2004.
23
Cash Flows from Financing Activities
Cash used by financing activities was $3.2 million for the six months
ended June 30, 2005 compared to cash provided by financing activities of
$3.2 million for the same period of 2004. The decrease in cash is
primarily due to the repayment by General Physics of its short-term
borrowings of $6.1 million during the six months ended June 30, 2005. This
use of cash was offset by net cash proceeds of $1.5 million in connection
with GSE's issuance of the Dolphin Note in 2005 compared to repayments of
long-term debt by General Physics of $0.6 million in 2004. Additionally,
cash proceeds from the exercise of employee stock options increased by
$0.6 million during the six months ended June 30, 2005 compared to the
same period of 2004.
LONG-TERM DEBT AND SHORT-TERM BORROWINGS
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.
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.
General Physics and General Physics' subsidiary, SkillRight, Inc., have a
three-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 the daily 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. 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 Note 8 to the condensed consolidated financial
statements). 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. In connection with GSE's issuance
and sale of the Dolphin Note (discussed below), General Physics'
commitment to loan GSE a maximum of $1.0 million was terminated.
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 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. The interest rate is based upon
the daily 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 both March 31, 2005 and June 30, 2005, GSE was not in compliance with
its debt service coverage ratio. The Company obtained a letter dated
August 4, 2005 in which the lender has agreed to forbear from exercising
its rights under the Credit Agreement against the borrowers with respect
to this event of default by GSE until the delivery of the annual financial
24
statements for the year ended December 31, 2005. The lender will charge
GSE a fee of approximately $2,500 as compensation for the waiver. The
Company has classified the borrowings outstanding under the Credit
Agreement as a current obligation.
On May 26, 2005, GSE issued and sold to Dolphin Direct Equity Partners,
LP, a Senior Subordinated Secured Convertible Note in the aggregate
principal amount of $2,000,000, maturing March 31, 2009, and a seven-year
warrant to purchase 380,952 shares of GSE common stock at an exercise
price of $2.22 per share. The note is convertible into 1,038,961 shares of
GSE common stock at a conversion price of $1.925 per share and accrues
interest at 8% payable quarterly. The aggregate purchase price for the
Dolphin Note and GSE Warrant was $2,000,000. In connection with this
transaction, General Physics' commitment to loan GSE up to $1,000,000 was
terminated. Under the terms of the note, the number of shares of GSE
common stock actually issued on conversion of the Dolphin Note, when
aggregated with the number of shares of GSE common stock actually issued
upon exercise of the GSE Warrant, could not exceed 19.99% of the
outstanding shares of GSE common stock on May 26, 2005 (the "Conversion
Share Limit"). Of the $2 million proceeds from the sale of the Dolphin
Note, $500,000 was placed in escrow until the termination of the
Conversion Share Limit which expired on June 29, 2005. The $500,000 of
cash in escrow was released to GSE on July 7, 2005.
NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARD
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,
based on Final Rule 74 issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission in
April 2005, which delayed the implementation of SFAS No. 123R, the Company
plans to adopt SFAS No. 123R effective January 1, 2006. The Company
expects to adopt SFAS No. 123R using the Modified Prospective Application
method without restatement of prior periods. Under this method, the
Company will begin to amortize compensation cost for the remaining portion
of its outstanding awards on the adoption date for which the requisite
service has not yet been rendered. Compensation cost for these awards will
be based on the fair value of those awards as disclosed on a pro-forma
basis under SFAS 123 in Note 3, Stock-Based Compensation. The Company will
account for awards that are granted, modified, or settled after the
adoption date in accordance with SFAS No. 123R. 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, 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
25
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.
26
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 currency 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 currency 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 objective in holding derivatives is
to minimize risks by using methods to reduce the impact of these
exposures. GSE minimizes credit exposure by limiting counterparties to
nationally recognized financial institutions. As of June 30, 2005, GSE had
foreign currency contracts for the sale of $2.8 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 reduction in estimated fair value of the contracts during the
quarter and six months ended June 30, 2005 of $102,000 and $157,000,
respectively, in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial
statements.
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 consolidated 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 consolidated
financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2004. 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
27
the issuance of the 2004 consolidated financial statements. These
deficiencies represent 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.
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 six months ended June 30, 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 hired a Director of Financial Reporting who is
dedicated 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.
