NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the Fiscal Quarters Ended
March 31, 2000 and April 2, 1999
Note 1: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation:
Exponent, Inc., together with its subsidiaries (referred to as the
"Company"), is a multidisciplinary organization of scientists, physicians,
engineers and business consultants performing in-depth scientific research and
analysis in over 50 technical disciplines. The accompanying consolidated
financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned
subsidiaries, Exponent Failure Analysis Associates, Inc. ("FaAA"), Exponent
Health Group, Inc. ("EHG"), Exponent Environmental Group, Inc. ("EEG") and BCS
Wireless, Inc. ("BCS") whose results of operations have been accounted for as a
discontinued operation for the quarters ending March 31, 2000 and April 2, 1999.
The Company operates on a 52-53 week fiscal calendar year ending on the Friday
closest to the last day of December.
The accompanying condensed, consolidated financial statements are prepared
in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and include the
accounts of Exponent, Inc. and its subsidiaries. All significant intercompany
transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. In the opinion
of management, all adjustments which are necessary for the fair presentation of
the condensed consolidated financial statements have been included and all such
adjustments are of a normal and recurring nature. The operating results for the
fiscal quarters ended March 31, 2000 and April 2, 1999, are not necessarily
representative of the results of future quarterly or annual periods.
Note 2: Discontinued Operations
Effective April 2, 1999 the Company committed to a formal plan to divest
its wholly owned subsidiary, BCS Wireless, Inc. ("BCS"). Accordingly, the
results of operations for BCS for the quarters ending March 31, 2000 and April
2, 1999 have been recorded as a discontinued operation in the condensed
consolidated statements of income. The balance sheet of BCS as of March 31, 2000
includes approximately $2.6 million in accounts receivable and other assets,
$682,000 in capital equipment, $2.9 million in an intercompany payable to the
Company and $388,000 in accounts payable and accrued liabilities associated with
BCS. The decision to divest BCS was made because the Company's management
believed the subsidiary was no longer a strategic fit for the Company.
On May 2, 2000, the Company sold certain assets of BCS for $2.0 million in
cash and the assumption of approximately $740,000 in liabilities. The Company
will retain approximately $400,000 in cash and $1.6 million in net accounts
receivables of BCS. The Company expects to record a gain on the sale of BCS, the
exact amount of which is contingent upon the collection of the outstanding
receivables.
Note 3: Net Income Per Share
Basic per share amounts are computed using the weighted average number of
common shares outstanding during the period. Dilutive per share amounts are
computed using the weighted-average number of common shares and potentially
dilutive securities, using the treasury stock method, even when antidilutive, if
their effect would be dilutive on the per share amount of income from continuing
operations.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations
Forward Looking Statements
This Report contains, and incorporates by reference, certain
forward-looking statements (as such term is defined in the Private Securities
Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and the rules promulgated pursuant to the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended) that are based on the beliefs of the Company's management, as well as
assumptions made by and information currently available to the Company's
management. Such forward-looking statements are subject to the safe harbor
created by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. When used in
this document and in the documents incorporated herein by reference, the words
"anticipate," "believe," "estimate," "expect" and similar expressions, as they
relate to the Company or its management, are intended to identify such
forward-looking statements. Such statements reflect the current views of the
Company or its management with respect to future events and are subject to
certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions. Should one or more of these risks
or uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect,
the Company's actual results, performance, or achievements could differ
materially from those expressed in, or implied by, any such forward-looking
statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to such material differences
include those discussed elsewhere in this Report and in the documents
incorporated herein by reference. The inclusion of such forward-looking

General
The Company derives a majority of its revenues from professional service
activities. Revenues from professional services are principally derived under
"time and expenses" and "fixed-fee" billing arrangements, and are recorded as
work is performed. Professional fees are a function of the total number of hours
billed to clients and the associated hourly billing rates or fixed-fee
arrangement with the client. The Company also derives revenue from net billed
expenses and equipment fees, which consist primarily of fees charged to clients
for use of the Company's equipment and facilities in connection with services
provided. The Company's principal expenses are professional compensation and
related expenses.
Results of Operations
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the attached
unaudited, condensed, consolidated financial statements and notes thereto and
with the Company's audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto
for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1999, which is contained in the Company's
fiscal 1999 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
2000 Fiscal Quarter Ended March 31, 2000 Compared to 1999 Fiscal Quarter Ended
April 2, 1999
Revenues for the first quarter of fiscal 2000 were $26.1 million compared
to $23.8 million for the same quarter in fiscal 1999, an increase of 9.7%. This
increase was the result of growth in both the environmental and health, and
other scientific and engineering segments during the quarter. Increases in
billable hours and billing rates as well as revenues from several fixed-price
projects, including the Land Warrior project, contributed to the revenue growth
for the quarter.
Compensation and related expenses increased 7.1% to $16.2 million for the
first quarter of fiscal 2000 compared to $15.2 million for the same period in
fiscal 1999. This increase is associated with additions in staff as well as
annual salary increases. In addition, bonus expense, which is a function of
profitability, increased in the first three months of fiscal 2000 as compared to
the same period of fiscal
9
1999. As a percentage of revenue, total compensation decreased to 62.2% for the
first quarter of fiscal 2000 from 63.7% for the same quarter in fiscal 1999.
Other operating expenses increased by 1.5% to $4.0 million for the first
quarter of fiscal 2000 compared to $3.9 million for the same quarter in fiscal
1999. The increase was largely due to increased occupancy expenses, partially
offset by decreases in computer supplies. The growth in occupancy expenses is
primarily the result of the addition of two new regional offices in California
during the second half of fiscal 1999 and a new lease agreement for the
Company's Seattle area office, which took effect in May 1999. Other operating
expenses decreased to 15.3% of total revenue for the first quarter of fiscal
2000 compared to 16.6% of revenue for the first quarter of fiscal 1999.
General and administrative expenses were $2.6 million for the first quarter
of fiscal 2000 compared to $2.3 million for the same period in fiscal 1999, an
increase of 14.0%. This increase was largely attributable to an increase in the
provision for doubtful accounts, as well as increased travel expenses. These
increases were partially offset by decreases in legal expenses and bank fees.
General and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenue increased
slightly to 9.9% of total revenues for the first quarter of fiscal 2000 compared
to 9.5% for the first quarter of fiscal 1999.
Other income consists primarily of rental income from leasing excess space
in the Company's headquarters building located in Menlo Park, California less
interest expense on the Company's mortgage. Other income for the first quarter
of fiscal 2000 increased by $12,000 or 3.4% over the same quarter of fiscal
1999. This increase is primarily due to a decrease in interest expense of
approximately $200,000 associated with lower mortgage interest in the first
quarter of fiscal 2000. This decrease in interest expense, which was due to
reduced borrowings on the company's revolving reducing note, was partially
offset by a decrease in interest income and a reduction in rental income. The
decrease in interest income is a result of excess cash being used to pay down
the Company's revolving reducing note. Rental income decreased by $143,000 in
the first three months of fiscal 2000 compared to the same period in fiscal 1999
due to the sale of one of the Company's excess facilities in May 1999.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
2000 Fiscal Quarter Ended March 31, 2000 Compared to 1999 Fiscal Quarter Ended
April 2, 1999
The Company's cash management policy is to use all excess operating cash to
pay down the mortgage on the Company's headquarters building. As a result, the
Company had no cash or cash equivalents as of March 31, 2000. The balance on the
Company's mortgage, however, was reduced to $315,000 as of March 31, 2000
compared to the $13.9 million balance as of April 2, 1999. The Company financed
its business for the current period principally through operating cash.
Net cash provided by operating activities was $5.4 million in the first
three months of fiscal 2000 compared to $983,000 used in operating activities
for the comparable period of fiscal 1999. This increase in cash provided by
operating activities was primarily attributable to increased net income,
decreases in accounts receivable, increases in income taxes payable and cash
provided from deferred revenues. These increases were partially offset by
decreases in accounts payable and accrued payroll and employee benefits.
The Company used $2.2 million of cash for investing activities during the
first quarter of fiscal 2000 compared to $1.0 million of cash used in investing
activities during the first quarter of fiscal 1999. This increase in cash used
was primarily a result of increased capital expenditures related to the
construction of an engineering and test preparation building at the Company's
Test and Engineering Center in Phoenix.
Net cash used for financing activities was $3.2 million for the first
quarter of fiscal 2000 compared to $4.1 million for the same quarter of fiscal
1999. This decrease in cash used in financing
10
activities is due to a reduction in the amount of shares of Company common stock
repurchased during the period. The Company purchased $178,000 in shares during
the first quarter of fiscal 2000 as compared to $1.8 million purchased during
the same period of 1999. This decrease in shares purchased was partially offset
by an increase in the use of excess cash to repay outstanding debt.
The Company's long-term obligations at March 31, 2000 consisted primarily
of the obligation on the $30.0 million revolving mortgage note of $315,000 and
the long-term portion of an insurance financing agreement in the amount of
$372,000.
Management believes that its revolving note, together with funds generated
from operations, will provide adequate cash to fund the Company's anticipated
cash needs through at least the next twelve-month period.
11
FACTORS AFFECTING OPERATING RESULTS AND MARKET PRICE OF STOCK
Exponent operates in a rapidly changing environment that involves a number
of uncertainties, some of which are beyond the Company's control. These
uncertainties include, but are not limited to, those mentioned elsewhere in this
report, and the following:
Attraction and Retention of Key Employees
The Company's business involves the delivery of professional services and
is labor-intensive. The Company's success depends in large part upon its ability
to attract, retain and motivate highly qualified technical and managerial
personnel. Qualified personnel are in great demand and are likely to remain a
limited resource for the foreseeable future. There can be no assurance that the
Company can continue to attract sufficient numbers of highly qualified technical
and managerial personnel and to retain existing employees. The loss of a
significant number of the Company's employees could have a material adverse
impact on the Company, including its ability to secure and complete engagements.
Absence of Backlog
Revenues are primarily derived from services provided in response to client
request or events that occur without notice, and engagements, generally billed
on a "time and expenses" basis, are terminable at any time by clients. As a
result, backlog at any particular time is small in relation to its quarterly
revenues and is not a reliable indicator of revenues for any future periods.
Revenues and operating margins for any particular quarter are generally affected
by staffing mix, resource requirements and timing and size of engagements.
Competition
The markets for the Company's services are highly competitive. In addition,
there are relatively low barriers to entry into the Company's markets and the
Company has faced, and expects to continue to face, additional competition from
new entrants into its markets. Competitive pressure could reduce the market
acceptance of the Company's services and result in price reductions that could
have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition
and results of operations.
Other Income
The Company currently subleases excess facilities, primarily in its Menlo
Park, California headquarters, that have lease terms that expire within the 2000
to 2003 time period. In the first quarters of fiscal 2000 and 1999,
miscellaneous rental income associated with these facilities amounted to
approximately 8.6% and 16.4%, respectively, of income from continuing operations
before income taxes. The sale of one of these excess facilities in May 1999
reduced the amount of future rental income, however much of the impact of this
reduction was offset by corresponding reductions in facility operating costs,
depreciation and interest expense. Should the remaining subleases not be
extended, renewed or have their term options exercised, the loss of additional
miscellaneous rental income could have a material adverse effect on the
Company's operating results.
Regulation
Public concern over health, safety and preservation of the environment has
resulted in the enactment of a broad range of environmental laws and regulations
by local, state and federal lawmakers and agencies. These laws and the
implementing regulations affect nearly every industry, as well as the agencies
of federal, state and local governments charged with their enforcement. To the
extent changes in such laws, regulations and enforcement or other factors
significantly reduce the exposures of
12
manufacturers, owners, service providers and others to liability, the demand for
environmental services may be significantly reduced.
Variability of Quarterly Financial Results
Variations in the Company's revenues and operating results occur from time
to time as a result of a number of factors, such as the significance of client
engagements commenced and completed during a quarter, the number of working days
in a quarter, employee hiring and utilization rates, and integration of
companies acquired. Because a high percentage of the Company's expenses,
particularly personnel and facilities related, are relatively fixed in advance
of any particular quarter, a variation in the timing of the initiation or the
completion of client assignments, at or near the end of any quarter, can cause
significant variations in operating results from quarter to quarter.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risk
The Company is exposed to some interest rate risk associated with the
Company's long-term debt obligation on the Company's headquarters building.
Effective February 1, 1999, the Company refinanced its headquarters building
under a new financing agreement. The new mortgage note consists of a revolving
reducing note, secured by the Company's headquarters building, with a borrowing
amount up to $30.0 million. The $30.0 million revolving reducing note is subject
to automatic annual reductions in the amount available to be borrowed of
approximately $1.3 million to $2.1 million per year until January 31, 2008. As
of December 31, 1999, $26.4 million was available to be borrowed. Any
outstanding amounts on the revolving reducing note are due and payable in full
on January 31, 2009. The Company may from time to time during the term of the
note borrow, partially or wholly repay its outstanding borrowings and re-borrow
up to the maximum principal amounts, subject to the reductions in availability
contained in the note. The note is also subject to two interest rate options of
either prime less 1.5% or the fixed LIBOR plus 1.25% with a term option of one
month, two months, three months, six months, nine months, or twelve months.
Interest will be paid on a monthly basis. Principal amounts subject to the prime
interest rate may be repaid at any time without penalty. Principal amounts
subject to the fixed LIBOR rate may also be repaid at any time but are subject
to a prepayment penalty if paid before the fixed rate term or additional
interest if paid after the fixed rate term.
In February of 1999, the Company also entered into a line of credit
agreement with a borrowing amount up to $5.0 million. The $5.0 million line of
credit is subject to two interest rate options of either the prime rate in
effect from time to time, or a fixed rate determined by the lender to be 2.75%
above LIBOR, with a term option of one month, two months, three months, six
months, nine months or twelve months. The line of credit agreement expired on
February 15, 2000. The Company did not renew the line of credit portion of its
financing agreement.
The Company's general policy for selecting among the interest rate options
and related terms will be to minimize interest expense. However, given the risk
of interest rate fluctuations, the Company cannot be certain that the lowest
rate option will always be obtained, therefore, consistently minimizing the
Company's interest expense. No sensitivity analysis was performed on the
Company's exposure to interest rate fluctuations, however, given the historical
low volatility of both the prime and LIBOR interest rates, the Company believes
any exposure would be minimal.
