MANPOWER INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
FOR THE NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2001 AND 2000
(IN MILLIONS, EXCEPT PER SHARE DATA)
(1) Basis of Presentation
Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial
statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the
Securities and Exchange Commission, although the Company believes that the
disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. These
consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the
consolidated financial statements included in the Company's 2000 Annual Report
to Shareholders.
The information furnished reflects all adjustments that, in the opinion of
management, are necessary for a fair statement of the results of operations for
the periods presented. Such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature.
(2) New Accounting Pronouncements
During June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standard ("SFAS") No. 141, "Business
Combinations," which requires all business combinations completed subsequent to
June 30, 2001 to be accounted for using the purchase method. Although the
purchase method generally remains unchanged, this standard also requires that
acquired intangible assets should be separately recognized if the benefit of the
intangible assets are obtained through contractual or other legal rights, or if
the intangible assets can be sold, transferred, licensed, rented or exchanged,
regardless of the acquirer's intent to do so. Intangible assets separately
identified must be amortized over their estimated economic life.
This statement was adopted by the Company on July 1, 2001. The Company has
accounted for all previous acquisitions under the purchase method and the
related excess of purchase price over net assets was mainly goodwill, therefore,
the adoption of this statement did not have a material impact on the
consolidated financial statements.
During June 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible
Assets," which prohibits the amortization of goodwill or identifiable intangible
assets with an indefinite life beginning January 1, 2002. In addition, goodwill
or identifiable intangible assets with an indefinite life resulting from
business combinations completed between July 1, 2001 and December 31, 2001 are
no longer required to be amortized. Rather, goodwill will be subject to
impairment reviews by applying a fair-value-based test at the reporting unit
level, which generally represents operations one level below the segments
reported by the Company. An impairment loss will be recorded for any goodwill
that is determined to be impaired.
The impairment testing provisions of this statement are effective for the
Company on January 1, 2002. Upon adoption, the Company will perform an
impairment test on all existing goodwill, which will be updated at least
annually. The Company has not yet determined the extent of any impairment losses
on its existing goodwill, however, any such losses are not expected to be
material to the consolidated financial statements.
The non-amortization provisions of this statement related to goodwill resulting
from business combinations between July 1, 2001 and December 31, 2001 were
adopted as of July 1, 2001. The remaining non-amortization provisions of this
statement will be effective for the Company on January 1, 2002.

(3) Acquisitions
During July 2001, the Company acquired Jefferson Wells International, Inc.
("Jefferson Wells"), a professional services provider of internal audit,
accounting, technology and tax services, for total consideration of
approximately $174.0, including assumed debt. The acquisition of Jefferson Wells
was originally financed through the Company's existing credit facilities.
Jefferson Wells operates a network of offices throughout the United States and
Canada. Approximately $153.4 was recorded as goodwill.
During the first nine months of 2001, the Company also acquired and invested in
several companies throughout the world. The total consideration paid for such
transactions was $121.7 as of September 30, 2001, the majority of which was
recorded as goodwill. This consideration includes the final payment of $30.0 in
deferred consideration related to the Company's January 2000 acquisition of Elan
Group Limited.
Goodwill and intangible assets resulting from such transactions subsequent to
June 30, 2001 has been accounted for in accordance with SFAS Nos. 141 and 142.
(4) Debt
During August 2001, the Company issued $435.4 in aggregate principal amount at
maturity of unsecured zero-coupon convertible debentures, due August 17, 2021
("Debentures"). These Debentures were issued at a discount to yield an effective
interest rate of 3% per year and rank equally with all existing and future
senior indebtedness of the Company. Gross proceeds of $240.0 were used to repay
borrowings under the revolving credit facility and advances under the U.S.
Receivable facility. At September 30, 2001, the unamortized discount was $194.5.
There are no scheduled cash interest payments associated with the Debentures.
The Debentures are convertible into shares of the Company's common stock at an
initial price of $39.50 per share if the closing price of the Company's common
stock on the New York Stock Exchange exceeds specified levels or in other
certain circumstances.
The Company may call the Debentures beginning August 17, 2004 for cash at the
issue price, plus accreted original issue discount. Holders of the Debentures
may require the Company to purchase the Debentures at the issue price, plus
accreted original issue discount, on the first, third, fifth, tenth and
fifteenth anniversary dates. The Company may purchase these Debentures for
either cash, or the Company's common stock, or combinations thereof.
(5) Income Taxes
The Company provided for income taxes at 36.0%, which is equal to the estimated
annual effective tax rate based on the currently available information. This
rate is higher than the U.S. Federal statutory rate due to the impact of higher
foreign tax rates and U.S. state income taxes, however that impact is minimized
by the use of foreign tax credit carryforwards.

(9) Contingencies
The Company is involved in a number of lawsuits arising in the ordinary course
of business that will not, in the opinion of management, have a material effect
on the Company's results of operations, financial position or cash flows.
The Company had been named as a defendant in numerous lawsuits in Louisiana. The
lawsuits in Louisiana were settled within the Company's available insurance
coverage.
(10) Derivative Financial Instruments
Since June 1998, the FASB has issued SFAS Nos. 133, 137 and 138 related to
"Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" ("SFAS No. 133,
as amended" or "Statements"). These Statements establish accounting and
reporting standards requiring derivative instruments to be recorded on the
balance sheet as either an asset or liability measured at fair value. If the
derivative is designated as a fair value hedge, the changes in the fair value of
the derivative and of the hedged item attributable to the hedged risk are
recognized in earnings. If the derivative is designated as a cash flow hedge,
the effective portions of the changes in the fair value of the derivative are
recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and
recognized in the consolidated statement of earnings when the hedged item
affects earnings. Ineffective portions of changes in the fair value of cash flow
hedges are recognized in earnings.
On January 1, 2001, the Company adopted SFAS No. 133, as amended. As a result of
adopting the standard, the Company recognized the fair value of all derivative
contracts as a net liability of $3.4 on the consolidated balance sheets. This
amount was recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income
(loss). There was no impact on earnings.
The Company enters into various derivative financial instruments to manage
certain of its foreign currency exchange rate and interest rate risks. The
Company does not use derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative
purposes.
Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Management
In certain circumstances, the Company enters into foreign currency forward
exchange contracts to reduce the effects of fluctuating foreign currency
exchange rates on cash flows with foreign subsidiaries. Such contracts have been
designated as cash flow hedges and were considered highly effective as of
September 30, 2001.
10
The Company's borrowings which are denominated in Euro, Japanese yen, and
British pounds have been designated and are effective as economic hedges of the
Company's net investment in its foreign subsidiaries with the related functional
currencies. Therefore, all translation gains or losses related to these
borrowings are recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income
(loss).
Interest Rate Risk Management
The Company enters into interest rate swaps to manage the effects of interest
rate movements on the Company's variable rate borrowings. The swaps are
denominated in Euro and Japanese yen and exchange floating rate for fixed rate
payments on a periodic basis over the terms of the related borrowings. Such
contracts have been designated as cash flow hedges and were considered highly
effective as of September 30, 2001.

Item 2 - Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations
Operating Results - Three Months Ended September 30, 2001 and 2000
Revenues decreased 5.2% to $2,675.4 million for the third quarter of 2001.
Revenues were unfavorably impacted by changes in currency exchange rates during
the third quarter of 2001 due to the strengthening of the U.S. dollar, as
compared to the third quarter of 2000, relative to the currencies in most of the
Company's non-U.S. markets. At constant exchange rates, revenues would have
decreased 2.5%. Acquisitions had a favorable impact of less than 2% on
consolidated revenues, on a constant currency basis, during the third quarter of
2001.
The United States experienced a revenue decrease of 24.4% for the third quarter
of 2001 compared to 2000 due to lower customer demand in all sectors resulting
from the continued economic slowdown. Local currency revenue in France
contracted 2.5% during the third quarter of 2001 as the French economy continued
to slow throughout the quarter. Constant currency revenue increases for the
third quarter of 2001 were experienced in the United Kingdom (5.4%), Other
Europe (3.6%) and Other Countries (24.3%).
Gross profit decreased .5% to $504.6 million for the third quarter of 2001
compared to 2000. Gross profit margin increased 90 basis points (.9%) from the
third quarter of 2000 to 18.9% in 2001. This increase is due primarily to a
change in business mix to higher value services and improved pricing in most
major markets, particularly in France.
Selling and administrative expenses increased 6.0% to $436.2 million in the
third quarter of 2001 compared to the same period in 2000. These expenses, as a
percent of gross profit, have increased from 81.1% in the third quarter of 2000
to 86.5% in the third quarter of 2001 due primarily to the de-leveraging of the
business caused by the slowing revenue growth coupled with the Company's
continued investment in certain expanding markets and strategic initiatives.
Interest and other expense decreased $1.7 million from the third quarter of 2000
to $10.4 million in the third quarter of 2001. Net interest expense, including
the loss on sale of accounts receivable, was $9.5 million in the third quarter
of 2001 compared to $10.1 million in the third quarter of 2000. This decrease in
expense is mainly due to lower interest rates and fees on the Company's variable
rate borrowings and amounts sold under the U.S. Receivables Facility,
respectively, during the third quarter of 2001 compared to the same period in
2000. Translation gains were $.3 million in the third quarter of 2001 compared
to losses of $.5 million in the third quarter of 2000.
The Company provided for income taxes during the third quarter of 2001 at 36.0%,
which is equal to the estimated annual effective tax rate based on the currently
available information. This rate is higher than the U.S. Federal statutory rate
due to the impact of higher foreign tax rates and U.S. state income taxes,
however that impact is minimized by the use of foreign tax credit carryforwards.
On a diluted basis, net earnings per share was $.48 in the third quarter of 2001
compared to $.70 in the third quarter of 2000. The net earnings per share, on a
diluted basis, for the third quarter of 2001 was negatively impacted by $.03 due
to changes in exchange rates.
Operating Results - Nine Months Ended September 30, 2001 and 2000
Revenues decreased 1.9% to $7,947.4 million for the first nine months of 2001
compared to the first nine months of 2000. Revenues were unfavorably impacted by
changes in currency exchange rates during the first nine months of 2001 due to
the strengthening of the U.S. dollar, as compared to the first nine months of
2000, relative to the currencies in most of the Company's non-U.S. markets. At
constant exchange rates, revenues would have increased 3.1%. Acquisitions had a
favorable impact of less than 1% on consolidated revenues, on a constant
currency basis, during the first nine months of 2001.
12
Constant currency revenue increases during the first nine months of 2001
compared to 2000 were experienced in France (1.8%), the United Kingdom (11.6%),
Other Europe (10.6%) and Other Countries (21.1%). The United States experienced
a revenue decrease of 14.3% for the first nine months of 2001 compared to the
first nine months of 2000. Constant currency revenue trends in all segments,
excluding acquisitions, are down from those realized in previous quarters of
2001, reflecting further slowing in worldwide markets.
Gross profit increased 3.2% to $1,477.6 million for the first nine months of
2001 compared to 2000. Gross profit margin increased 90 basis points (.9%) from
the first nine months of 2000 to 18.6% in 2001. This increase is due primarily
to a change in business mix to higher value services and improved pricing in
most of the Company's major markets.
Selling and administrative expenses increased 6.5% to $1,294.4 million in the
first nine months of 2001 compared to the same period in 2000. As a percent of
gross profit, these expenses were 87.6% in the first nine months of 2001
compared to 84.9% in the first nine months of 2000. This increase is due
primarily to the de-leveraging of the business caused by the slowing revenue
growth coupled with the Company's continued investment in certain expanding
markets and strategic initiatives. Such expenses, as a percent of gross profit,
have decreased each quarter of 2001 from 89.2% in the first quarter to 86.5% in
the third quarter. This decline partially reflects the Company's concerted
effort to control costs in response to the economic slowdown.
Interest and other expense decreased $4.4 million from the first nine months of
2000 to $29.2 million in the first nine months of 2001. Net interest expense,
including the loss on sale of accounts receivable, was $26.0 million in the
first nine months of 2001 compared to $27.5 million for the same period in 2000.
This decrease in expense is due to a combination of lower interest rates and
fees on the Company's variable rate borrowings and amounts sold under the U.S.
Receivables Facility, respectively, during the third quarter of 2001 compared to
2000 and lower borrowing levels earlier in 2001 compared to the same period in
2000. Translation gains were $.5 million in the first nine months of 2001
compared to losses of $1.9 million in the first nine months of 2000.
The Company provided for income taxes during the first nine months of 2001 at
36.0%, which is equal to the estimated annual effective tax rate based on the
currently available information. This rate is higher than the U.S. Federal
statutory rate due to the impact of higher foreign tax rates and U.S. state
income taxes, however that impact is minimized by the use of foreign tax credit
carryforwards.
On a diluted basis, net earnings per share was $1.28 for the first nine months
of 2001 compared to $1.52 for the same period in 2000. The net earnings per
share, on a diluted basis, for the first nine months of 2001 was negatively
impacted by $.12 due to changes in exchange rates.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Cash provided by operating activities was $57.6 million and $46.1 million in the
first nine months of 2001 and 2000, respectively. Excluding the changes in
amounts advanced under the Receivable Facility, cash provided by operating
activities was $159.6 million and $116.1 million in the first nine months of
2001 and 2000, respectively. This increase is mainly due to lower working
capital usage due to a 2-day improvement in consolidated accounts receivable
days sales outstanding ("DSO") during the first nine months of 2001 compared to
2000. Cash provided by operating activities before changes in working capital
requirements was $169.7 million in the first nine months of 2001 compared to
$179.5 million in the first nine months of 2000.
Capital expenditures were $66.6 million in the first nine months of 2001
compared to $50.9 million during the first nine months of 2000. These
expenditures were primarily comprised of purchases of computer equipment and
software, office furniture and other costs related to office openings and
refurbishments, as well as capitalized software development costs.

During July 2001, the Company acquired Jefferson Wells International, Inc.
("Jefferson Wells"), a professional services provider of internal audit,
accounting, technology and tax services, for total consideration of
approximately $174.0 million, including assumed debt. The acquisition of
Jefferson Wells was originally financed through the Company's existing credit
facilities. Jefferson Wells operates a network of offices throughout the United
States and Canada.
During the first nine months of 2001, the Company also acquired and invested in
several companies throughout the world. The total consideration paid for such
transactions was $121.7 million as of September 30, 2001, which includes the
final payment of $30.0 million in deferred consideration related to the
Company's January 2000 acquisition of Elan Group Limited.
Net cash provided from borrowings was $356.4 million and $156.9 million in the
first nine months of 2001 and 2000, respectively. Including changes in amounts
advanced under the accounts receivable securitization, net borrowings were
$254.4 million and $86.9 million in the first nine months of 2001 and 2000,
respectively. Net borrowings in 2001 were mainly used to finance acquisitions,
whereas amounts in 2000 were used to finance acquisitions and working capital
needs.
The Company repurchased 100,000 shares and 658,800 shares at a cost of $3.3
million and $20.0 million, respectively, during the first nine months of 2001
and 2000, respectively.
Net accounts receivable increased to $2,122.4 million at September 30, 2001 from
$2,094.4 million at December 31, 2000. This increase is mainly due to $102.0
million fewer receivables sold under the U.S. Receivables Facility at September
30, 2001 compared to December 31, 2000, offset by a $66.1 million decrease
related to changes in foreign currency exchange rates over the same period.
As of September 30, 2001, the Company had borrowings of $230.7 million and
letters of credit of $73.2 million outstanding under its $415.0 million U.S.
revolving credit facility, and borrowings of $65.8 million outstanding under its
U.S. commercial paper program. The commercial paper borrowings have been
classified as long-term debt due to the availability to refinance them on a
long-term basis under the revolving credit facility.
During August 2001, the Company issued $435.4 million in aggregate principal
amount at maturity of unsecured zero-coupon convertible debentures, due August
17, 2021 ("Debentures"). These Debentures were issued at a discount to yield an
effective interest rate of 3% per year and rank equally with all existing and
future senior indebtedness of the Company. Gross proceeds of $240.0 million were
used to repay borrowings under the revolving credit facility and advances under
the U.S. Receivable facility. At September 30, 2001, the unamortized discount
was $194.5 million. There are no scheduled cash interest payments associated
with the Debentures.
The Debentures are convertible into shares of the Company's common stock at an
initial price of $39.50 per share if the closing price of the Company's common
stock on the New York Stock Exchange exceeds specified levels or in other
certain circumstances.
The Company may call the Debentures beginning August 17, 2004 for cash at the
issue price, plus accreted original issue discount. Holders of the Debentures
may require the Company to purchase the Debentures at the issue price, plus
accreted original issue discount, on the first, third, fifth, tenth and
fifteenth anniversary dates. The Company may purchase these Debentures for
either cash, or the Company's common stock, or combinations thereof.
The Company and some of its foreign subsidiaries maintain separate lines of
credit with foreign financial institutions to meet short-term working capital
needs. As of September 30, 2001, such lines totaled $180.8 million, of which
$170.2 million was unused.

On May 1, 2001, the Company's Board of Directors declared a cash dividend of
$.10 per share which was paid on June 14, 2001 to shareholders of record on June
1, 2001.
On October 30, 2001, the Company's Board of Directors declared a cash dividend
of $.10 per share which is payable on December 14, 2001 to shareholders of
record on December 3, 2001.
New Accounting Pronouncements
Since June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") has issued
Statements of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") Nos. 133, 137 and 138
related to "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" ("SFAS
No. 133, as amended" or "Statements"). These Statements establish accounting and
reporting standards requiring derivative instruments to be recorded on the
balance sheet as either an asset or liability measured at its fair value. If the
derivative is designated as a fair value hedge, the changes in the fair value of
the derivative and of the hedged item attributable to the hedged risk are
recognized in earnings. If the derivative is designated as a cash flow hedge,
the effective portions of the changes in the fair value of the derivative are
recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and are
recognized in the consolidated statement of earnings when the hedged item
affects earnings. Ineffective portions of changes in the fair value of cash flow
hedges are recognized in earnings.
On January 1, 2001, the Company adopted SFAS No. 133, as amended. As a result of
adopting the standard, the Company recognized the fair value of all derivative
contracts as a net liability of $3.4 million on the consolidated balance sheets.
This amount was recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive
income (loss). There was no impact on earnings.
During June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standard ("SFAS") No. 141, "Business
Combinations," which requires all business combinations completed subsequent to
June 30, 2001 to be accounted for using the purchase method. Although the
purchase method generally remains unchanged, this standard also requires that
acquired intangible assets should be separately recognized if the benefit of the
intangible assets are obtained through contractual or other legal rights, or if
the intangible assets can be sold, transferred, licensed, rented or exchanged,
regardless of the acquirer's intent to do so. Intangible assets separately
identified must be amortized over their estimated economic life.
This statement was adopted by the Company on July 1, 2001. The Company has
accounted for all previous acquisitions under the purchase method and the
related excess of purchase price over net assets was mainly goodwill, therefore,
the adoption of this statement did not have a material impact on the
consolidated financial statements.
During June 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible
Assets," which prohibits the amortization of goodwill or identifiable intangible
assets with an indefinite life beginning January 1, 2002. In addition, goodwill
or identifiable intangible assets with an indefinite life resulting from
business combinations completed between July 1, 2001 and December 31, 2001 are
no longer required to be amortized. Rather, goodwill will be subject to
impairment reviews by applying a fair-value-based test at the reporting unit
level, which generally represents operations one level below the segments
reported by the Company. An impairment loss will be recorded for any goodwill
that is determined to be impaired.
The impairment testing provisions of this statement are effective for the
Company on January 1, 2002. Upon adoption, the Company will perform an
impairment test on all existing goodwill, which will be updated at least
annually. The Company has not yet determined the extent of any impairment losses
on its existing goodwill, however, any such losses are not expected to be
material to the consolidated financial statements.
15
The non-amortization provisions of this statement related to goodwill resulting
from business combinations between July 1, 2001 and December 31, 2001 were
adopted as of July 1, 2001. The remaining non-amortization provisions of this
statement will be effective for the Company on January 1, 2002.
The Euro
Twelve of the fifteen member countries of the European Union (the "participating
countries") have established fixed conversion rates between their existing
sovereign currencies (the "legacy currencies") and the Euro and have agreed to
adopt the Euro as their common legal currency. The legacy currencies will remain
legal tender in the participating countries as denominations of the Euro until
January 1, 2002 (the "transition period"). During the transition period, public
and private parties may pay for goods and services using either the Euro or the
participating country's legacy currency. Beginning on January 1, 2002,
Euro-denominated bills and coins will be issued and legacy currencies will be
withdrawn from circulation.
The Company has significant operations in many of the participating countries
and continues to assess the impact of the Euro on its business operations. Since
the Company's labor costs and prices are generally determined on a local basis,
the near-term impact of the Euro has been and is expected to be primarily
related to making internal information systems modifications to meet employee
payroll, customer invoicing and financial reporting requirements. Such
modifications relate to converting currency values and to operating in a dual
currency environment during the transition period. Modifications of internal
information systems have been occurring throughout the transition period and are
mainly coordinated with other system-related upgrades and enhancements. All
modifications are expected to be completed prior to December 2001. The Company
will account for all such system modification costs in accordance with its
existing policy and does not expect such costs to be material to the Company's
consolidated financial statements.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1 - Legal Proceedings
Information relating to legal proceedings is set forth in Note 9 to the
Company's consolidated financial statements.
Item 2 - Changes in Securities and Use of Proceeds
(a) Not applicable.
(b) Not applicable.
(c) The following information is furnished as to securities of the Company
sold during the three months ended September 30, 2001 and prior to the
filing of this document that were not registered under the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended.
On August 17, 2001, the Company sold to Goldman, Sachs & Co. and
Salomon Smith Barney Inc. an aggregate principal amount at maturity of
$362,806,000 of the Company's Zero Coupon Convertible Debentures Due
August 17, 2021. On August 22, 2001, the initial purchasers identified
above exercised their option to purchase an additional $72,561,000
principal amount at maturity of the debentures. The Company offered and
sold the debentures to the initial purchasers in a private transaction
pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act, which exempts from
registration sales of securities that do not involve a public offering.
The initial purchasers sold the debentures to qualified institutional
buyers in reliance on Rule 144A under the Securities Act for cash in an
amount equal to $551.26 per $1,000 principal amount at maturity. The
aggregate offering price was $240,000,000, and the aggregate
underwriting commissions and discounts were $4,800,000.
The debentures are convertible into shares of the Company's common
stock at a conversion rate of 13.9559 shares per debenture (subject to
certain adjustment events) under any of the following circumstances:
- during any conversion period (as defined in the indenture) if
the closing sale price of the Company's shares of common stock
for at least 20 trading days in the 30 consecutive trading
days ending on the first day of such conversion period is more
than 110% of the accreted conversion price on the first day of
the conversion period;
- during the five business day period beginning 10 business days
following any 10 consecutive trading day period in which the
average of the trading prices (as defined in the indenture)
for a debenture was less than 95% of the average closing sales
price of the Company's common stock multiplied by the number
of shares of common stock into which such debenture is
convertible for that period;
- if such debentures have been called for redemption;
- during such period, if any, that the credit rating assigned to
the debentures by Standard & Poor's Ratings Group or Moody's
Investors Service, Inc. is below a specified level; and
- upon the occurrence and continuance of specified corporate
transactions.
The term "accreted conversion price" as of any day will equal the
accreted value of the debenture divided by the number of shares of
common stock issuable upon the conversion of such debenture on that
day. The term "accreted value" means, as of any date, the sum of the
issue price of the debentures and the accrued original issue discount
as of such date.
Net proceeds from the offering of the debentures were used for the
repayment of borrowings under the Company's credit facilities and
advances under its accounts receivable securitization facility.
