NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(unaudited)
1. Basis of Presentation
The consolidated financial statements of Answerthink, Inc.
("Answerthink" or the "Company") include the accounts of the Company and all of
its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and balances have
been eliminated in consolidation.
In the opinion of management, the accompanying consolidated financial
statements reflect all normal and recurring adjustments which are necessary for
a fair presentation of the Company's financial position, results of operations,
and cash flows as of the dates and for the periods presented. The consolidated
financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of
the Securities and Exchange Commission regarding interim financial reporting.
Accordingly, these statements do not include all the disclosures normally
required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America for annual financial statements and should be read in conjunction with
the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended
December 29, 2000 included in the Form 10-K filed by the Company with the
Securities and Exchange Commission. The consolidated results of operations for
the quarter ended March 30, 2001 are not necessarily indicative of the results
to be expected for any future period or for the full fiscal year. Certain prior
period amounts have been reclassified to conform to current period presentation.
2. Net Income (Loss) Per Common Share
Basic net income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net
income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during
the period. With regard to common shares issued to employees under employment
agreements, the calculation includes only the vested portion of such shares.
Accordingly, common shares outstanding for the basic net income (loss) per share
computation are lower than actual shares issued and outstanding.
Income (loss) per common share assuming dilution is computed by
dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares
outstanding, increased by the assumed conversion of other potentially dilutive
securities during the period. Potentially dilutive shares were excluded from the
diluted loss per share calculation for the quarter ended March 30, 2001 because
their effects would have been anti-dilutive to the loss incurred by the Company.
Therefore, the amounts reported for basic and diluted net loss per share were
the same for the quarter. Potentially dilutive shares which were not included in
the diluted loss per share calculation for the quarter ended March 30, 2001
include 3,062,497 shares of unvested common stock issued under employment
agreements and 851,921 shares issuable upon the exercise of stock options and
warrants assuming the treasury stock method.
For the quarter ended March 31, 2000, potentially dilutive securities
included 5,345,129 shares of unvested common stock issued under employment
agreements and 1,892,218 shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of
stock options and warrants assuming the treasury stock method.
3. Non-Cash Transactions
During 2000, the Company recorded a liability of $5.2 million for an
earned contingent consideration to be paid in the Company's common stock in
March 2001. This amount was included in accrued expenses and other liabilities
in the consolidated balance sheet as of December 29, 2000. In March 2001, the
Company issued 755,374 shares of the Company's common stock for the earned
contingent consideration.

4. Stock Compensation Expense
In the first quarter of 2001, the Company granted stock options to
participants in the Company's Employee Stock Purchase Plan. These options were
granted in replacement of the Employee Stock Purchase Plan shares that could not
be issued because the plan was oversubscribed for the purchase periods ending
December 31, 2000 and June 30, 2001. The Company recorded a non-cash
compensation charge of $2.8 million in the first quarter of 2001 (and will
record a non-cash compensation charge of approximately $1.8 million in the
second quarter of 2001) based on the vesting provision of the options for the
difference between the fair market value of the stock on the option grant date
and the exercise price.
5. Litigation
THINK New Ideas, Inc. ("THINK New Ideas") and three of its former
officers are defendants in a consolidated class action filed in federal court in
New York. This suit was previously described in Answerthink's Annual Report on
Form 10-K for the year ended December 29, 2000. In February 1999, a
Consolidated and Amended Class Action Complaint ("Consolidated Complaint") was
filed seeking to assert claims on behalf of all individuals who purchased THINK
New Ideas' common stock from November 5, 1997 through September 21, 1998. The
defendants filed a motion to dismiss the Consolidated Complaint and the
plaintiffs opposed the motion. On March 15, 2000, the court granted the
defendants' motion to dismiss the Consolidated Complaint. The plaintiffs filed a
Second Consolidated and Amended Class Action Complaint ("Second Amended
Complaint") on April 14, 2000. The defendants filed a motion to dismiss the
Second Amended Complaint on May 1, 2000. On September 14, 2000, the Court denied
the motion. The defendants filed an answer to the Second Amended Complaint on
November 10, 2000. The parties are engaged in discovery. No schedule has been
set for the completion of discovery or for further proceedings. The Company
believes there are meritorious defenses to the claims made in the Second Amended
Complaint and intends to contest those claims vigorously. Although there can be
no assurance as to the outcome of these matters, an unfavorable resolution could
have a material adverse effect on the results of operations and/or financial
condition of the Company in the future.
The Company is involved in legal proceedings, claims, and litigation
arising in the ordinary course of business not specifically discussed herein. In
the opinion of management, the final disposition of such other matters will not
have a material adverse effect on the financial position or results of
operations of the Company.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations
CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This report and the information incorporated by reference in it include
"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. We intend
the forward-looking statements to be covered by the safe harbor provisions for
forward-looking statements in these sections. All statements regarding our
expected financial position and operating results, our business strategy, our
financing plans and forecasted demographic and economic trends relating to our
industry are forward-looking statements. These statements can sometimes be
identified by our use of forward-looking words such as "may," "will,"

expectations in such forward-looking statements will turn out to be correct.
Factors that impact such forward looking statements include, among others, our
ability to attract additional business, the potential for contract cancellation
by our customers, changes in expectations regarding the information technology
industry, our ability to attract and retain skilled employees, possible changes
in collections of accounts receivable, risks of competition, price and margin
trends, changes in general economic conditions and interest rates. An additional
description of our risk factors is set forth in our Registration Statement on
Form S-3 (Registration Form 333-32342). We undertake no obligation to update or
revise publicly any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new
information, future events or otherwise.

Results of Operations
The following table sets forth, for the periods indicated, our results
of operations and the percentage relationship to net revenues of such results:
Quarter Ended
----------------------------------------------
March 30, March 31,
(dollars in thousands) 2001 2000
--------------------- --------------------
Net revenues $ 72,015 100.0% $ 76,297 100.0%
Costs and expenses:
Project personnel and expenses 45,381 63.0% 44,741 58.6%
Selling, general and administrative expenses 24,401 33.9% 22,538 29.6%
Stock compensation expense 3,031 4.2% 213 0.3%
--------------------- --------------------
Total costs and operating expenses 72,813 101.1% 67,492 88.5%
--------------------- --------------------
Income (loss) from operations (798) (1.1%) 8,805 11.5%
Other income (expense):
Interest income, net 434 0.6% 272 0.4%
--------------------- --------------------
Income (loss) before income taxes (364) (0.5%) 9,077 11.9%
Income taxes (164) (0.2%) 3,722 4.9%
--------------------- --------------------
Net income (loss) $ (200) (0.3%) $ 5,355 7.0%
===================== ====================
8
Net Revenues. Net revenues for the quarter ended March 30, 2001
decreased by $4.3 million or 5.6% compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2000.
The decrease in net revenues was primarily attributable to a decrease in the
number of customers resulting from reduced demand for information technology
services. For the quarter ended March 30, 2001, three customers each had
revenues greater than 5% of total net revenues. In the aggregate, these three
customers accounted for approximately 29% of total net revenues. No single
customer accounted for more than 5% of net revenues for the quarter ended March
31, 2000.
Project Personnel and Expenses. Project personnel costs and expenses
consist primarily of salaries, benefits and bonuses for consultants. Project
personnel costs and expenses for the quarter ended March 30, 2001 increased by
1.4% to $45.4 million compared to $44.7 million in the quarter ended March 31,
2000. The increase in project personnel and expenses was the result of an
increase in average salaries, partially offset by a decrease in the number of
consultants. Project personnel and expenses as a percentage of net revenues
increased to 63.0% in the quarter ended March 30, 2001 from 58.6% in the
comparable quarter of 2000. The increase in project personnel costs and expenses
as a percentage of net revenues was primarily due to the lower revenue levels in
2001 which resulted in lower consultant utilization.
Selling, General and Administrative. Selling, general and
administrative expenses increased 8.3% to $24.4 million in the quarter ended
March 30, 2001 from $22.5 million in the quarter ended March 31, 2000. The
increase in selling, general and administrative expenses primarily related to an
increase in bad debt expense. Selling, general and administrative expenses as a
percentage of net revenues increased to 33.9% in the quarter ended March 30,
2001 from 29.6% in the comparable quarter of 2000. The increase in selling,
general and administrative expenses as a percentage of net revenues was
attributable to the higher bad debt expense as well as the lower revenue levels
during 2001.
Stock Compensation Expense. Stock compensation expense in the first
quarter of 2001 primarily related to the granting of stock options to
participants in our Employee Stock Purchase Pan. These stock options were
granted in replacement of the Employee Stock Purchase Plan shares that could not
be issued because the plan was oversubscribed for the purchase periods ending on
December 31, 2000 and June 30, 2001. We recorded a non-cash compensation charge
of $2.8 million in the quarter ended March 30, 2001 (and will record
approximately $1.8 million in the second quarter of 2001) based on the vesting
provision of the options for the difference between the fair market value of the
stock on the option grant date and the exercise price.
Income Taxes. Our effective tax rate for the first quarter of 2001 was
45% compared to an effective tax rate of 41% for the first quarter of 2000. The
higher effective tax rate for the first quarter of 2001 was the result of an
increase in the impact of permanent differences on the tax rate as a result of
lower pretax income.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
We have funded our operations primarily with cash flow generated from
operations and the proceeds from our initial public offering. In addition, we
have a revolving credit facility for $25.0 million. The credit facility is
unsecured and contains, among other things, the maintenance of certain financial
covenants such as a maximum leverage ratio, minimum level of tangible net worth,
minimum ratio of earnings to interest expense and minimum quick ratio. At March
30, 2001, we had no borrowings under this credit facility. At March 30, 2001, we
had approximately $40.1 million in cash and cash equivalents compared to $51.7
million at December 29, 2000.
9
Net cash used in operating activities was $8.5 million for the quarter
ended March 30, 2001 compared to $8.2 million used in operating activities
during the comparable period of 2000. During the quarter ended March 30, 2001,
net cash used in operating activities was primarily attributable to a $9.3
million decrease in accrued expenses and other liabilities, a $2.4 million
decrease in media payable and a $2.5 million increase in accounts receivable and
unbilled revenue, partially offset by non-cash expenses of $7.4 million. During
the quarter ended March 31, 2000, net cash used in operating activities was
primarily attributable to a $8.4 million increase in accounts receivable and
unbilled revenue, a $6.3 million decrease in accrued expenses and other
liabilities and a $6.3 million decrease in media payable, partially offset by
our net income of $5.4 million and non-cash expenses of $3.0 million. Media
payables represent media placement costs owed to media providers on behalf of
our customers. Amounts in media payables which have been billed to our customers
are included in other receivables. The level of media payables and the related
receivables will vary with the timing of our customers' media campaigns.
Net cash used in investing activities was $4.1 million for the quarter
ended March 30, 2001 compared to $4.7 million used during the comparative period
of 2000. The use of cash for investing activities in 2001 was attributable to
$4.1 million of purchases of property and equipment. During 2000, the primary
uses of cash in investing activities were $4.3 million of additional contingent
consideration paid for certain prior acquisitions and $1.9 million of purchases
of property and equipment, offset by net sales and redemptions of short-term
investments of $1.5 million.
Net cash provided by financing activities was $1.1 million for the
quarter ended March 30, 2001 compared to $9.5 million provided by financing
activities during the comparable period of 2000. The source of cash from
financing activities during 2001 was $1.1 million of proceeds from the sale of
common stock as a result of exercises of stock options as well as the sale of
stock through our Employee Stock Purchase Plan. During 2000, the primary source
of cash from financing activities was $10.5 million of proceeds from the sale of
common stock as a result of exercises of stock options and warrants as well as
the sale of stock through our Employee Stock Purchase Plan, partially offset by
$1.0 million repayment of notes payable.
We currently believe that available funds and cash flows generated by
operations, if any, will be sufficient to fund our working capital and capital
expenditures requirements for at least the next 12 months. Thereafter, we may
need to raise additional funds. We may decide to raise additional funds sooner
in order to fund more rapid expansion, to develop new or enhanced products and
services, to respond to competitive pressures or to acquire complementary
businesses or technologies. We cannot assure you, however, that additional
financing will be available when needed or desired on terms favorable to us or
at all.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
We do not believe that there is any material market risk exposure with
respect to derivative or other financial instruments, which would require
disclosure under this item.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
THINK New Ideas and three of its former officers are defendants in a
consolidated class action filed in federal court in New York. This suit was
previously described in Answerthink's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year
ended December 29, 2000. In February 1999, a Consolidated and Amended Class
Action Complaint ("Consolidated Complaint") was filed seeking to assert claims
on behalf of all individuals who purchased THINK New Ideas' common stock from
November 5, 1997 through September 21, 1998. The defendants filed a motion to
dismiss the Consolidated Complaint and the plaintiffs opposed the motion. On
March 15, 2000, the Court granted the defendants' motion to dismiss the
Consolidated Complaint. The plaintiffs filed a Second Consolidated and Amended
Class Action Complaint ("Second Amended Complaint") on April 14, 2000. The
defendants filed a motion to dismiss the Second Amended Complaint on May 1,
2000. On September 14, 2000, the Court denied the motion. The defendants filed
an answer to the Second Amended Complaint on November 10, 2000. The parties are
engaged in discovery. No schedule has been set for the completion of discovery
or for further proceedings. We believe there are meritorious defenses to the
claims made in the Second Amended Complaint and we intend to contest those
claims vigorously. Although there can be no assurance as to the outcome of these
matters, an unfavorable resolution could have a material adverse effect on our
results of operations and/or our financial condition in the future.
