1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Affiliated
Computer Services, Inc. and its majority-owned subsidiaries. All material
intercompany profits, transactions and balances have been eliminated. We are
a Fortune 1000 Company providing technology solutions to commercial and
government clients worldwide. We deliver e-solutions; consulting and systems
integration services; and complete technology and business process
outsourcing solutions to a diverse base of clients and industries. Our
solutions are designed to promote value and enhance business performance and
are delivered by more than 18,000 people in 20 countries.
The financial information presented should be read in conjunction with our
consolidated financial statements for the year ended June 30, 2000. The
foregoing unaudited consolidated financial statements reflect all
adjustments (all of which are of a normal recurring nature) which are, in
the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the results
of the interim periods. The results for the interim periods are not
necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the year.
2. DERIVATIVES AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES
In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, "Accounting for Derivatives and
Hedging Activities". The statement requires us to record all derivatives on
the balance sheet at fair value. Derivatives that are not hedges must be
adjusted to fair value through earnings. If the derivative is a hedge,
depending on the nature of the hedge, changes in the fair value of the
derivatives are either recognized in earnings or are recognized in other
comprehensive income until the hedged item is recognized in earnings. In
June 1999, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 137, "Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities - Deferral of the Effective Date of the
FASB Statement No. 133", which deferred the effective date of SFAS No. 133
to fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000. The adoption of SFAS No. 133
on July 1, 2000 resulted in our recording $2.4 million in "Long-term
investments and other assets" representing the fair market value of our
interest rate hedges that expire in December 2001. In addition, we
recognized $1.5 million, net of tax effect, in other comprehensive income,
which appears as a separate component of Stockholder's Equity as
"Accumulated other comprehensive income".
3. COMPREHENSIVE INCOME
We have adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 130,
"Reporting Comprehensive Income." The objective of SFAS No. 130 is to report
a measure of all changes in equity of an enterprise that result from
transactions and other economic events of the period other than transactions
with owners. Comprehensive income is the total of net income and other
non-owner charges in equity.
The components of comprehensive income are as follows (in the thousands):

"Other non-operating income, net" related to the sale of a non-strategic
minority investment in ACS Merchant Services, Inc.
In the first quarter of fiscal 2001, we recorded a $10.4 million charge in
connection with the termination of certain hardware leases and disaster
recovery contracts, which is included in "Rent, lease and maintenance"
expense. In addition, we recorded a $2.1 million charge for non-recurring
litigation costs and the writedown of property held-for-sale to market value
to "Other operating expense."

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations includes "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of Section
27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934. All statements, other than statements of historical facts, included in
this MD&A regarding our financial position, business strategy and plans and
objectives of our management for future operations are forward-looking
statements. These forward-looking statements rely on a number of assumptions
concerning future events and are subject to a number of uncertainties and other
factors, many of which are outside of our control, that could cause actual
results to materially differ from such statements. While we believe that the
assumptions concerning future events are reasonable, we caution that there are
inherent difficulties in predicting certain important factors, especially the
timing and magnitude of technological advances; the performance of recently
acquired businesses; the prospects for future acquisitions; the possibility that
a current customer could be acquired or otherwise be affected by a future event
that would diminish its information technology requirements; the competition in
the information technology industry and the impact of such competition on
pricing, revenues and margins; the degree to which business entities continue to
outsource information technology and business processes; uncertainties
surrounding budget reductions or changes in funding priorities or existing
government programs and the cost of attracting and retaining highly skilled
personnel.
SIGNIFICANT DEVELOPMENTS
During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2000, we entered into a formal plan to
divest certain business units consisting primarily of our ATM processing
business and our commercial staffing business due to the fact that these
businesses were no longer strategic to our long-term goal of providing
information technology and business process outsourcing services. At September
30, 2000, we had completed the sale of and received the proceeds from these
divestitures, except for the sale of one small business unit representing $0.3
million, which is presented on the balance sheet under the caption "Net assets
held for sale." This remaining transaction was completed in October 2000. As a
result of the proceeds from these divestitures, we paid down our debt by
approximately $155.0 million at September 30, 2000.
During the first quarter of fiscal 2001, we recorded a $12.8 million gain in
"Other non-operating income, net" associated with the sale of a non-strategic
minority investment in ACS Merchant Services, Inc. In addition, we recorded
non-recurring charges totaling $12.5 million during the first quarter of fiscal
2001 related to the termination of certain computer equipment leases and
consolidation of disaster recovery contracts ($10.4 million recorded in "Rent,
lease and maintenance") and litigation expense and the writedown of a facility
held-for-sale to market value ($2.1 million recorded in "Other operating
expense").

COMPARISON OF THE QUARTER ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2000 TO THE QUARTER ENDED
SEPTEMBER 30, 1999
The recently divested business units contributed $7.5 million and $79.7 million
in revenue for the first quarter of fiscal 2001 and 2000, respectively.
Excluding these divested units, revenue increased 28% over the prior year to
$471.2 million with half of the increase, or 14%, derived from internal growth.
Excluding divested revenue, revenue from our commercial segment increased 29%
primarily due to signing new state Medicaid and Welfare benefit program
management contracts, as well as new information technology contract signings.
Revenue from our federal government segment increased 27% primarily due to the
acquisition of Intellisource in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2000.
Excluding the $12.5 million non-recurring charges (see "Significant
Developments"), operating margins increased 1.2% from 10.2% to 11.4% in the
first quarter of fiscal 2001 as a result of the recently completed divestiture
program announced in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2000. Wages and benefits as a
percentage of revenue increased from 43.5% to 45.2% in first quarter of fiscal
2001 due to the divestitures, which had a smaller component of wages and benefit
expense, and our continued focus on delivering business process outsourcing
services, which has a larger component of wages and benefits expense. Services
and supplies expense as a percentage of revenue decreased 2.6% , from 29.7% to
27.1% , in the first quarter of fiscal 2001 due to the divestiture of the ATM
processing business, which had a large component of interchange fees paid to ATM
distributors. After adjusting for the $10.4 million of non-recurring charges,
rent, lease and maintenance expense decreased from 11.3% to 10.9% in the first
quarter of fiscal 2001.
Other non-operating income for the first quarter of fiscal 2001 includes the
recognition of a $12.8 million gain associated with the sale of a non-strategic
minority investment in ACS Merchant Services, Inc.
The effective tax rate of approximately 39.5% in the first three months of
fiscal 2001 exceeded the federal statutory rate of 35% due primarily to the
amortization of certain acquisition-related costs that are non-deductible for
tax purposes, plus the net effect of state income taxes.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
At September 30, 2000, we had cash and cash equivalents totaling $18.9 million
compared to $44.5 million at June 30, 2000. Included in the cash balances at
September 30, 2000 and June 30, 2000 are $21.2 million and $22.3 million,
respectively, of restricted cash held on behalf of governmental customers.
Working capital decreased to $274.6 million at September 30, 2000 from $413.6
million at June 30, 2000 due primarily to the collection of proceeds from
divestitures and the subsequent paydown of long-term debt.
During the first quarter of fiscal 2001, we paid approximately $50.0 million in
incomes taxes related to our net gain from our divestiture activity, which is
reflected in cash flows from operations. In addition, we paid approximately
$10.4 million of non-recurring lease termination charges during the quarter (see
Note 6). After adjusting for these items, our net cash provided by operating
activities would have been approximately $3.0 million for the first quarter of
fiscal 2001. Historically, our operating cash flow during the first quarter of
our fiscal year has been low due to the timing of annual bonus payments,
interest payments and income tax payments. Cash flow from investing activities
increased $301.6 million due to the collection of proceeds from divestitures and
the first quarter fiscal 2000 acquisition of Consultec, LLC. The proceeds from
the divestitures were used to pay down debt, resulting in a $236.5 million
increase in net cash used by financing activities.
In order to manage interest costs and exposure to changing interest rates, we
hold two interest rate hedges initiated in December 1998, and expiring in
December 2001. Each hedge is structured such that we pay a fixed rate of
interest of 4.54% and receive a floating rate of interest based on one month
LIBOR. The notional amount of the two hedges totals $100,000,000 and the fair
market value of the two hedges at September 30, 2000 is $2,446,000, which is
recorded in "Long-term investments and other assets". The fair value of each
interest rate hedge reflects termination cash value.
Management believes that available cash and cash equivalents, together with cash
generated from operations and available borrowings under our credit facility,
will provide adequate funds for our anticipated internal growth needs, including
working capital expenditures. Our management also believes that cash provided by
operations will be sufficient to satisfy all existing debt obligations as they
become due. However, we intend to continue our growth through acquisitions and
from time to time to engage in discussions with potential acquisition
candidates, which could require significant commitments of capital. In order to
pursue such opportunities, we may be required to incur debt or to issue
additional potentially dilutive securities in the future. No assurance can be
given as to our future acquisitions and expansion opportunities and how such
opportunities will be financed.

NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
In March 2000, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Interpretation
No. 44, "Accounting for Certain Transactions Involving Stock Compensation", an
interpretation of APB Opinion No. 25. This interpretation clarifies the
definition of employee for purposes of applying APB No. 25, the criteria for
determining whether a plan qualifies as a non-compensatory plan, the accounting
consequence of various modifications to the terms of a previously fixed stock
option or award and the accounting for an exchange of stock compensation awards
in a business combination We apply the provisions of APB Opinion 25 in
accounting for our stock-based compensation and effective July 1, 2000 we began
applying the guidance in Interpretation No. 44. We do not believe the
application of this interpretation will have a material impact on our future
earnings and financial position.
In December 1999, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued Staff Accounting
Bulletin 101, "Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements". SAB 101 provides
guidance on the recognition, presentation and disclosure of revenue in financial
statements and required adoption no later than the fourth quarter of fiscal
2001. We do not believe the adoption of SAB 101 will have a material impact on
our future earnings and financial position.
PART II
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
On December 16, 1998, a state district court in Houston, Texas entered final
judgment against us in a lawsuit brought by twenty-one former employees of
Gibraltar Savings Association and/or First Texas Savings Association
(collectively, "GSA/FTSA"). The GSA/FTSA employees alleged that they were
entitled to the value of 401,541 shares of our stock pursuant to options issued
to the GSA/FTSA employees in 1988 in connection with a former data processing
services agreement between GSA/FTSA and us. The judgment against us was for
approximately $17,000,000, which includes attorneys' fees and pre-judgment
interest, but excludes additional attorneys' fees of approximately $850,000
which could be awarded in the event the plaintiffs are successful upon appeal
and final judgment. We continue to believe that we have meritorious defense to
all or a substantial portion of the plaintiffs' claims. We filed our appeal of
the judgment on March 15, 1999 and are vigorously pursuing the appeal. The
plaintiffs also filed a notice of appeal and are pursuing their appeal. Should
the proceedings not be favorably resolved on appeal, we would be subject to a
material charge.
On February 11, 1999 and on or about April 16, 1999, Caremark, Inc., one of our
large outsourcing clients, filed lawsuits alleging that we had breached certain
contractual obligations. On February 25, 1999, we filed a lawsuit against
Caremark and its parent, Caremark Rx, Inc., alleging that Caremark had no basis
for its allegations and that Caremark Rx had tortiously interfered with the
Caremark contract. On September 13, 2000, these lawsuits were settled by
agreements of the parties, which resulted in a contract extension through August
31, 2006, and a dismissal of all claims.
Government contracts are subject to review and audit by various governmental
authorities in the normal course of our business. Cost audits have been
completed through fiscal 1998 for a majority of the federal government business
operations. In management's opinion, any such reviews and the results of cost
audits for subsequent fiscal years will not have a material effect on our
financial position or results of operations.
We are subject to certain other legal proceedings, claims and disputes which
arise in the ordinary course of business. Although we cannot predict the
outcomes of these legal proceedings, management does not believe these actions,
in the aggregate, will have a material adverse effect on our financial position,
results of operations or liquidity.
