Notes to Unaudited Condensed
Financial Statements
Note 1. Interim Financial Statements
The accompanying unaudited interim condensed financial statements of SPR
Inc. (the "Company") have been prepared by the Company in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and
in conjunction with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange
Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in
annual financial statements have been condensed or omitted pursuant to those
rules and regulations. However, the Company believes that the disclosures
contained herein are adequate to make the information presented not misleading.
These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's
audited financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31,
1998 in the Company's annual report on Form 10-K.
The financial statements reflect, in the opinion of management, all
material adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments) necessary
to present fairly the Company's financial position and results of operations.
Certain items previously reported have been reclassified to conform with the
1999 presentation. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended
September 30, 1999 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be
expected for the full year.
Note 2. Business Segments
In June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards No. 131, "Disclosure about Segments of an
Enterprise and Related Information" ("SFAS No. 131"). The Company has no
separately reportable segments in accordance with this standard. Under the
enterprise-wide disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 131, the Company reports
revenues by service offering. Amounts for the three and nine months ended
September 30, 1999 and 1998, are shown in the table below:

Note 5. Income Taxes
The Company's effective tax rate was 67% for the third quarter and 57%
for the first nine months of 1999. The provision for income taxes was favorably
impacted in both the three month and nine month periods by the recognition of a
tax benefit amounting to $0.3 million related to intangibles.
Note 6. Employee Stock Option Plan
On June 24, 1999, the Company's shareholders approved the new 1999
Employee Stock Option Plan. The 1999 plan provides for the granting of options
to purchase a maximum of 1,250,000 shares of common stock. Through November 12,
1999, the Company has granted options to purchase 247,000 shares of common stock
under this plan at an exercise price of $3.75 per share. The options granted

======== ======== ======== ========
Revenues. Revenues decreased 36% to $14.3 million and 24% to $47.5
million in the third quarter and first nine months of 1999, respectively, from
$22.4 million and $62.8 million for the
9
comparable 1998 periods. The decreases in the 1999 periods versus the comparable
1998 periods were primarily the result of earlier than expected project
completions, delays in beginning new client projects, and general industry
conditions. The Company's billing rate per hour increased 8% in the third
quarter of 1999 from the comparable 1998 quarter and for the first nine months
of 1999 has remained constant as compared to the fourth quarter of 1998.
Gross Profit. Gross profit decreased 72% to $2.7 million in the third
quarter of 1999 from $9.4 million in the third quarter of 1998. Gross profit in
the first nine months of 1999 decreased 61% to $10.0 million from $25.9 million
in the first nine months of 1998. Gross profit as a percentage of revenues
decreased to 19% in the third quarter and to 21% in the first nine months of
1999 from 42% and 41%, respectively, for the comparable 1998 periods. The
decreases in gross profit were primarily attributable to decreases in consultant
utilization rates. As a result of the decreases in consultant utilization rates,
the Company instituted reductions in force totaling approximately 200
consultants in May, August, and September, 1999. The results for the third
quarter and the first nine months of 1998 were negatively impacted by
management's estimate of the services to be performed related to completing the
Company's century date compliance projects.
Selling Expenses. Selling expenses were $1.4 million in the third
quarter of 1999 and 1998. For the first nine months ended September 30, 1999,
selling expenses increased 4% to $4.0 million from $3.8 million for the
comparable 1998 period. The Company's selling expenses as a percentage of
revenues increased to 9% in the third quarter and to 8% in the first nine months
of 1999 from 6% for the comparable 1998 periods. The increase was primarily the
result of increased sales executive compensation due to the increase in the
sales force, to an average of 24 in the first nine months of 1999 from an
average of 20 in the comparable 1998 period.
Recruiting Expenses. Recruiting expenses decreased 50% to $0.2 million
in the third quarter of 1999 from $0.5 million for the third quarter of 1998.
For the first nine months of 1999, recruiting expenses decreased 27% to $1.0
million from $1.4 million for the first nine months of 1998. Hiring during the
first and third quarters of 1999 consisted only of project-specific skill sets
required on client engagements.
General and Administrative Expenses. General and administrative expenses
decreased 19% to $2.7 million and 13% to $8.4 million in the third quarter and
first nine months of 1999, respectively, from $3.3 million and $9.7 million for
the comparable 1998 periods. Increased expenses were incurred in the third
quarter and the first nine months of 1999 for internal technology, office space,
and telecommunications. The first nine months of 1999 also incuded expenses for
merger-related costs for travel, legal and accounting fees.The increases were
offset by decreases in expenses for management bonuses, training costs
associated with the entry-level portion of the Information Technology Consultant
(ITC) Training Program, and the reversal of an allowance for doubtful accounts
relating to the recovery of amounts owed by a client which was formerly in
bankruptcy proceedings.
Interest Income. Interest income decreased to $0.6 million and increased
to $1.9 million in the third quarter and the first nine months of 1999 from $0.7
million and $1.5 million for the comparable 1998 periods. The increase in first
nine months of 1999 as compared to the 1998
10
period, was attributable to interest earned on the investment of funds received
in the May 5, 1998 follow-on offering.
Provision for Income Taxes. The Company's effective tax rate was 67% for
the third quarter and 57% for the first nine months of 1999, and 40% for the
comparable 1998 periods. The provision for income taxes was favorably impacted
in both the three month and nine month periods by the recognition of a tax
benefit amounting to $0.3 million related to intangibles.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The remaining net proceeds of approximately $7.6 million from the
Company's initial public offering, together with the $23.1 million from the
follow-on public offering, and cash from operations are being temporarily
invested in investment grade securities. The Company intends to use the
remaining net proceeds for general corporate purposes, including the expansion
of the curriculum of its ITC Training Program, the development of new service
offerings related to E-Business and enterprise application integration
strategies, additional virtual insourcing centers, working capital, branch
expansion and possible acquisitions of related businesses.
At September 30, 1999, the Company had approximately $52.2 million of
cash and short-term investments. Prior to its initial public offering in October
1997, the Company financed its growth through cash flows from operations,
periodically supplemented by borrowings under its line of credit or revolving
credit and term loan facilities. Receivables have increased to 64 days of
revenues at September 30, 1999, from 52 days of revenues at December 31, 1998.
The Company, subsequent to the initial public offering, has no
outstanding debt. The Company believes the net proceeds from such offerings,
together with existing sources of liquidity and funds generated from operations,
will provide adequate cash to fund its anticipated cash needs, including funding
the Company's growth strategy.
Stock Repurchase Program
On March 17, 1999 the Company announced a plan to purchase up to 1.5
million of its shares of common stock under a stock repurchase program. The
quantity to be purchased and the targeted price will be determined daily, based
upon management's discretion. As of November 12, 1999, the Company has purchased
1,150,692 shares.
Year 2000
The Company established a Year 2000 project team to review the Company's
financial systems and ancillary software, local and wide area networks,
telecommunications, VIC connectivity, and third-party vendors for any Year 2000
issues. The team has completed its review and has corrected any situations where
it was determined that the Company was not compliant.
11
The Company's information technology staff will be available over the
January 1, 2000, weekend to handle any unanticipated issues that may arise. The
Company believes that the staff will be able to correct the issues in time to
prevent any impacts on the Company's operations.
