PART I
ITEM 1. BUSINESS
GENERAL
CIBER, Inc. ("CIBER" or the "Company") is a provider of information
technology ("IT") consulting services. At August 31, 1999, CIBER had
approximately 6,500 employees located in 45 major cities in 25 states plus
Canada, and offered IT solutions in the following areas:
- Strategic IT & Management Consulting
- e.Business Solutions
- ERP/Enterprise Software Solutions
- Custom IT Solutions
- Enterprise Systems & Network Integration
- Enterprise Outsourcing
Effective July 1, 1999, CIBER's services began being sold 100% under one
name, CIBER, using a common marketing theme and new logo. This approach
replaced the several different names, logos, and marketing themes of the
Company's previous operating subsidiaries. Management believes the new
marketing approach will offer several benefits, including better brand
identification and market clarity, increased market recognition and increased
cross-selling to the Company's customer base.
The Company began operations in 1974 to assist companies in need of computer
programming support. In the mid-1980s, the Company initiated a growth
strategy that included expanding its range of computer-related services,
developing a professional sales force and selectively acquiring or merging
established complementary companies. Since fiscal 1995, after restatements
for poolings of interests business combinations, the Company's revenues have
increased from $234.1 million to $719.7 million in fiscal 1999, a compound
annual growth rate of 32%. Over the same period, pro forma net income
increased from $8.2 million in fiscal 1995 to $54.5 million in fiscal 1999, a
compound annual growth rate of 61%. Revenues and pro forma net income have
grown at a compound annual growth rate of 60% and 91%, respectively, over the
same period when compared to CIBER's results of operations originally
reported for fiscal 1995.
BUSINESS STRATEGY
The Company's strategy is to expand its business by continuing to build
long-term relationships with major clients based on providing high-quality
information technology services tailored to meet client needs, with an
emphasis on services involving electronic business ("e.business"). The
Company's traditional model has been expanded to include a comprehensive
array of services that constitute the major element of the Company's
e.business offering, including: management consulting, information systems
design, development, integration and implementation, and project management
services. The Company's strategy includes the following key elements:
- - e.BUSINESS FOCUS. Electronic business is a revolutionary transformation for
the way government, business and society relate to one another and handle
their relationships. e.Business spans a broad range of initiatives, from
web-enabling legacy applications, to creating enterprise portals, to
completely rebuilding an organization with an electronic business model.
Almost all of CIBER's service offerings include e.business in some form.
Consequently, all of CIBER's operations are in an "electronic universe" of
groups and practices which are delivering services to the market as packaged
solutions.
- - BUILD STRONG CLIENT RELATIONSHIPS. The Company is committed to providing IT
services that meet the demands of mid to large size organizations with
substantial data processing operations. Management believes the Company's
emphasis on building long-term relationships with major clients has been a
primary reason for the Company's success. Most of the Company's largest
clients have been clients for many years.
3
- - GROW THROUGH BUSINESS COMBINATIONS AND INTERNAL EXPANSION. The Company
intends to expand by acquiring companies that broaden CIBER's array of
consulting services, that have strategic client relationships or that are
located in attractive geographic locations, including overseas. The Company
also intends to expand the operations of existing offices primarily by
providing additional information technology consulting services to existing
clients. The Company may also start new branches in attractive markets with
its own personnel.
- - EXPAND INTEGRATION, IMPLEMENTATION AND OTHER SERVICES. The Company's
historical time and material custom programming services have expanded to
include management level strategic systems solutions, as well as the
implementation of clients' long-term information technology strategies, from
design and development of their information systems through testing and
implementation, to migration from mainframe to client/server architectures,
as well as package software project implementation. As a result of these
efforts, the Company is taking greater responsibility for projects and
providing greater value-added services to its clients. This expansion of
focus, combined with the Company's processes, methodologies, tools and
templates, help position the Company as a full-service provider for its
existing and new clients' information technology and application needs. The
Company believes as enterprise level packaged software applications (such as
PeopleSoft, SAP, Lawson, J. D. Edwards, Oracle, Siebel and Baan) continue to
enhance functionality and performance, including the expanding functionality
related to e.business and the internet, and such products become more widely
used, that implementation services can present an area of increasing
opportunity for the Company.
- - FOCUS ON QUALITY SERVICE. The Company seeks to be a leader in providing
quality services and processes to its clients. Certain of CIBER's operations
have received ISO 9001 certification as well as certain customer quality
awards. ISO 9001 certification has enhanced the Company's ability (i) to
achieve preferred supplier status from larger companies, (ii) to satisfy
current and prospective clients who insist on a documented quality assurance
system and (iii) to improve its operations by facilitating cost controls and
other efficiencies on a continuing basis.

BUSINESS COMBINATIONS
The Company has expanded its geographic breadth, expanded its technical
expertise, increased its client base and believes it has achieved other
competitive advantages through business combinations. Given the highly
fragmented nature of the information technology services industry, the
Company intends to pursue business combinations as part of its growth and
operation strategy, including possible international opportunities. The
success of this strategy depends not only upon the Company's ability to
identify and acquire businesses on a cost effective basis, but also upon its
ability to integrate acquired operations into its organization effectively,
to retain and motivate personnel and to retain clients of acquired or merged
companies. In reviewing potential business combinations, the Company focuses
on the target company's geographic area, client base, capabilities in
specific technical services, acquisition availability, cost, anticipated
financial performance, sales, management and recruiting of personnel and
potential client demand, among other factors. From July 1, 1996 to June 30,
1999, the Company has completed the following business combinations:

CLIENTS
The Company focuses its marketing efforts on mid to larger sized companies
and other organizations, such as governments, with substantial needs for IT
service solutions. Such clients afford the Company opportunities to develop
long-term relationships based on the high quality, consistent services the
Company has provided for 25 years. Although most assignments are from three
to twelve months, many of the Company's client relationships have continued
for more than 10 years.
The ability to serve large clients in diverse industries demonstrates the
Company's adaptability to a wide variety of client environments. Whether
clients are in the services or manufacturing sector, the Company provides
consultants having skills matching the requirements of each project. The
Company routinely satisfies the diverse information technology needs of
clients in a wide variety of industries.
Certain customers account for a significant portion of the Company's
revenues. The Company's five largest clients represented approximately 15%,
14%, 15% of the Company's total revenues for the years ended June 30, 1997,
1998 and 1999, respectively. Some of the Company's significant clients
include: American Express Company, AT&T, City & County of San Francisco,
Commonwealth of PA, Ford Motor Company, GTE Corporation, IBM, Lockheed
Martin, MCI Telecommunications Corporation and Xerox Corporation.
CIBER has a significant relationship with PeopleSoft as an implementation
partner. In fiscal 1999, approximately 10% of the Company's total revenues
was derived from clients who purchased implementation services for their
PeopleSoft software. In the event PeopleSoft products become obsolete or
non-competitive, or if CIBER should lose its "implementation partner" status
with PeopleSoft, the Company could suffer a material adverse effect.
The Company generally prices its services to clients on a time-and-materials
basis and maintains price ranges that reflect the technical skills and
experience levels of the Company's consultants. The Company has provided and
intends to continue to provide project services to its clients. Projects are
distinguishable from the Company's professional services staff
supplementation consulting by the level of responsibility assumed by the
Company. In a typical project, the Company assumes major responsibilities for
the management of the project and/or the design of deliverables that results
in a client-specific outcome. With professional services staff
supplementation contracts, the Company's clients generally maintain
responsibility for the overall task. The failure of a project or the failure
of the Company to provide project services in a satisfactory manner could
have a material adverse effect on the Company. Further, the Company may
undertake projects on a fixed price basis and also may guarantee performance
based upon defined operating specifications. Cost overruns, unsatisfactory
performance or unanticipated difficulties in completing projects could have a
material adverse effect on the Company's results of operations.
Many larger clients have limited the number of information technology vendors
they use. In order to achieve the reduction in the number of vendors used,
companies often review and screen both existing and potential vendors and
generate select lists of approved vendors. The factors considered for
placement of a company on a vendor list include geographic and technical
breadth of operations, quality assurance programs, reliability and cost
effectiveness.
SALES FORCE
At August 31, 1999, the Company maintained an experienced sales force of
approximately 250 employees who market the Company's services to senior
business executives, chief information officers, information systems managers
and others who purchase IT solution services. The purchasing departments of
many of the Company's larger clients commonly select a limited list of
preferred vendors. Once on the vendor list, the Company's sales
representatives are eligible to work directly with managers of projects or
application systems seeking consultant assistance. New client contacts are
generated through a variety of methods, including client referrals, trade
shows, personal sales calls, direct mailings to targeted clients and
telemarketing.
7
OFFICES
The Company's branch office network is integral to its business strategy.
Through the branch office network, the Company can (i) offer a broad range of
consulting services on a local basis, (ii) respond to changing market demands
for information technology services through a variety of contacts in many
industries and geographic areas and (iii) maintain a quality professional
staff because of its nationwide reputation and its training programs.
Additionally, the offices can market their services as being provided by a
company with a national presence and a long history in the information
technology services business.
The Company believes its operating procedures and financial controls are two
of its primary strengths. Business plans, generally at the office level, are
prepared annually and include monthly projections for the ensuing fiscal
year. Results are tracked monthly to compare actual performance to projected
results. The Company has centralized accounting and cash management functions
to help ensure integrity of data and control of information flow. Operating
data is available on a weekly basis. The Company believes that these
practices enhance results from acquired businesses as well.
The Company established its office network through the internal start-up and
staffing of offices in new geographic locations and through the acquisition
of information technology services companies, their professional staffs and
client relationships. The Company's network of offices currently consists of
approximately 45 offices in 25 states plus Canada. The number of consultants
working out of any office ranges from as few as 10 to over 300.
CONSULTANTS
The Company's future success will depend in part on its ability to hire and
retain adequately trained personnel who can address the changing and
increasingly sophisticated needs of its clients. The Company's on-going
consultant needs arise from (i) increasing demand for the Company's services,
(ii) turnover, which is generally high in the industry, and (iii) the
clients' requests for consultants trained in the newest technologies. Few of
the Company's employees are bound by non-compete agreements. Competition for
personnel in the information technology services industry is significant and
the Company has had, and expects to continue to have, difficulty in
attracting and retaining an optimal level of qualified personnel. In
particular, competition for the limited number of qualified project managers
and professionals with certain specialized skills, such as a working
knowledge of certain technologies, is intense. Because of this, the
recruitment of the Company's skilled consultant group is a critical element
to the Company's success. The Company devotes significant resources to
meeting its personnel requirements. At August 31, 1999, the Company had
approximately 175 full-time recruiters in its offices and approximately 25 in
its National Recruiting Group. The National Recruiting Group maintains a
national, proprietary database of relocatable and harder to find consultants
(due to unique or specialized skill sets), augments local recruiting,
advertises nationally and over the Internet for new consultants, travels to
branches to train new recruiters and performs related tasks.
The Company offers a number of programs designed to retain its trained
personnel. The Company offers a tuition reimbursement program and provides
technical training courses that are available for home study. The Company
also makes available to employees an employee stock purchase plan, a matching
provision as part of its 401(k) savings plan, and stock options.
It is often difficult to match the availability of consultants with client
requirements. Pre-marketing and lead times from clients help, but consultant
availability remains a significant factor in determining whether the Company
or a competitor will obtain the available business. The Company believes that
careful coordination of its recruiting and sales activities gives it an
advantage over many of its smaller competitors.
8
COMPETITION
The information technology services industry is extremely competitive and
characterized by continuous changes in customer requirements and improvements
in technologies. The Company's competition varies significantly from city to
city as well as by the type of service provided. The Company believes that no
one competitor dominates any of its markets.
The Company's principal competitors include: Andersen Consulting LLP,
Cambridge Technology Partners, Inc., Computer Sciences Corporation,
Electronic Data Systems Corporation, Keane, Inc. and Sapient, Inc. Many large
accounting and consulting firms offer services that overlap with a
significant portion of the Company's services. Many of the Company's
competitors are larger and have greater financial, technical, sales and
marketing resources than CIBER. In addition, the Company must frequently
compete with a client's own internal information technology staff. The
Company expects to encounter additional competition as it enters new markets.
In order to maintain and develop new client relationships, the Company must
offer its services at competitive rates. There are competitors that may offer
the same or similar services as the Company at similar or lower rates.
Additionally, certain of the Company's clients require reduced rates after
services have commenced. There can be no assurance that the Company will be
able to compete effectively on pricing or other requirements and, as a
result, the Company could lose clients or be unable to maintain historic
gross margin levels or to operate profitably. With respect to the Company's
implementation services for software packages, the vendors of such software
may have training or other requirements that inhibit the Company from
competing effectively with other packaged software implementation providers.
In addition, the vendors of such software offer implementation services
similar to the Company which, in certain situations, can place the Company at
a competitive disadvantage.
EMPLOYEES
As of August 31, 1999, the Company had approximately 6,500 full-time
employees, including approximately 1,100 personnel in administrative
positions and approximately 5,400 billable consultants. Administrative
personnel are principally branch managers, sales representatives, recruiters
and administrative assistants located throughout the Company's offices. None
of the Company's employees are subject to a collective bargaining
arrangement. The Company has entered into employment agreements with its
executive officers. The Company believes its relations with its employees are
good.
ITEM 2. PROPERTIES
CIBER's executive offices are located at 5251 DTC Parkway, Suite 1400,
Englewood, Colorado 80111. The Company leases approximately 38,500 square
feet of office space in Denver for its corporate offices. The lease expires
in December 2003.
CIBER leases office space at various other locations under leases ranging
from month-to-month up to ten-year terms. CIBER had leases totaling
approximately 722,000 square feet at June 30, 1999. Total office rent expense
for the year ended June 30, 1999 was $10.7 million for all offices. The
Company's facilities are adequate for its current level of operations.
ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
The Company is not a party to any material legal proceedings.
ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS
No matters were submitted to a vote of the Company's shareholders during the

OVERVIEW
The Company's revenues have increased from $234.1 million in fiscal 1995 to
$719.7 million in fiscal 1999, a compound annual growth rate of 32%. CIBER is
a provider of information technology consulting services in the following
areas:
- Strategic IT & Management Consulting
- e.Business Solutions
- ERP/Enterprise Software Solutions
- Custom IT Solutions
- Enterprise Systems & Network Integration
- Enterprise Outsourcing
CIBER has grown significantly through mergers and acquisitions, as well as
through internal growth. For purposes of this report, the term "acquisition"
refers to business combinations accounted for as a purchase and the term
"merger" refers to business combinations accounted for as a pooling of
interests. The Company's acquisitions involve the capitalization of
intangible assets, which intangible assets are generally amortized over
periods of up to 20 years for financial reporting purposes. The Company's
consolidated financial statements include the results of operations of an
acquired business since the date of acquisition. Mergers result in a one-time
charge in the period in which the transaction is completed for costs
associated with the business combination. Unless the effects are immaterial,
the Company's consolidated financial statements are restated for all periods
prior to a merger to include the results of operations, financial position
and cash flows of the merged company. In addition, selling, general and
administrative expenses may vary as a percentage of revenues depending on the
fluctuations in the selling, general and administrative expenses of merged
companies, if any, during any given period. CIBER completed 10 business

FISCAL YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 1999 COMPARED TO FISCAL YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 1998
The Company's revenues for fiscal 1999 increased 24.8% to $719.7 million from
$576.5 million for fiscal 1998. This represents a 27.8% increase in
consulting revenues offset by a planned decrease in other revenues, primarily
sales of computer hardware products. Other revenues decreased to $59.3
million in fiscal 1999 from $59.8 million in fiscal 1998. The increase in
revenues is derived primarily from an increase in hours billed and, to a
lesser extent, an increase in average billing rates.
Of the 27.8% increase in consulting revenues for fiscal 1999 in comparison to
fiscal 1998, approximately 9% was due to revenues from acquired businesses or
immaterial poolings of interests and approximately 19% was due to organic
growth of existing operations. Organic growth for the year was driven by a
strong demand for ERP implementation services and was lessened, to some
extent, due to declining direct Year 2000 service revenues.
Gross margin percentage improved to 35.6% of revenues in fiscal 1999 from
34.9% in fiscal 1998. This improvement was due to improved gross margins on
both consulting services and other revenues. Gross margins on consulting
services have increased as a larger percentage of the Company's revenues are
derived from higher margin solutions oriented and project work.
Selling, general and administrative expenses were 21.9% of revenues for
fiscal 1999 compared to 23.4% of revenues for fiscal 1998. The decrease as a
percentage of revenues is primarily due to greater economies of scale,
including reduced administrative costs of certain merged companies. As the
Company's focus continues to shift to more solutions oriented and project
work, selling, general and administrative expenses will tend to increase as a
percentage of sales and partially offset the generally higher gross margins
on such work.
Amortization of intangible assets increased to $7.5 million in fiscal 1999
from $3.9 million in fiscal 1998. This increase was due to the additional
amortization of intangible assets resulting from recent mergers and
acquisitions. Fiscal 1999 acquisitions will increase amortization in future
years to approximately $12 million per year.
13
Merger costs, primarily transaction related broker and professional costs, of
$1.5 million were incurred in fiscal 1999 compared to $4.5 million in fiscal
1998.
Net interest and other income increased to $2.6 million in fiscal 1999 from
$1.5 million in fiscal 1998 due to increased average cash balances available
for investment and the elimination of borrowings of certain merged companies.
After the pro forma adjustment, if any, to income tax expense, the Company's
pro forma effective tax rates for fiscal 1999 and 1998 were 40.8% and 42.3%,
respectively. The Company's effective tax rate is higher than its normal tax
rate due to nondeductible merger costs. Nondeductible amortization resulting
from fiscal 1999 acquisitions has also increased the Company's effective tax
rate. The pro forma adjustment to income tax expense reflects the exclusion
of the one-time income tax effects related to changes in the tax status of
certain merged companies and imputes income tax expense for S corporation
operations that were not subject to income taxes.
The Company's pro forma net income increased 59.0% to $54.5 million in fiscal
1999 from $34.3 million in fiscal 1998.
FISCAL YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 1998 COMPARED TO FISCAL YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 1997
The Company's revenues for fiscal 1998 increased 39.5% to $576.5 million from
$413.4 million for fiscal 1997. This represents a 44.2% increase in
consulting revenues and an 8.8% increase in other revenues. Other revenues
increased to $59.8 million in fiscal 1998 from $54.9 million in fiscal 1997.
The increase in revenues is derived primarily from an increase in hours
billed and, to a lesser extent, an increase in average billing rates.
Of the 44.2% increase in consulting revenues for fiscal 1998 in comparison to
fiscal 1997, approximately 8% was due to revenues from acquired businesses or
immaterial poolings of interests and approximately 36% was due to organic
growth of existing operations. This growth was from increased demand for IT
services, including an increased demand for Year 2000 related services and
increased demand for ERP software implementation services.
Gross margin percentage improved to 34.9% of revenues in fiscal 1998 from
32.6% of revenues in fiscal 1997. This increase was due to improved gross
margins on both consulting services and other revenues.
Selling, general and administrative expenses were 23.4% of revenues for fiscal
1998 compared to 23.5% of revenues for fiscal 1997.
Amortization of intangible assets increased to $3.9 million in fiscal 1998 from
$3.1 million in fiscal 1997. This increase was due primarily to the Company's
acquisitions in fiscal 1998.
Merger costs, primarily transaction related broker and professional costs, of
$4.5 million were incurred in fiscal 1998 compared to $1.2 million in fiscal
1997.
Net interest income increased to $1.5 million in fiscal 1998 from $1.0 million
in fiscal 1997 due to increased average cash balances available for investments
and the elimination of borrowings of certain merged companies.
After the pro forma adjustment to income tax expense, the Company's pro forma
effective tax rates for fiscal 1998 and 1997 were 42.3% and 40.6%, respectively.
This increase was primarily due to increased nondeductible merger costs. The pro
forma adjustment to income tax expense reflects the exclusion of the one-time
income tax effects related to changes in the tax status of certain merged
companies and imputes income tax expense for S corporation operations that were
not subject to income taxes.
The Company's pro forma net income increased 67.8% to $34.3 million in fiscal
1998 from $20.4 million in fiscal 1997.
14
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
At June 30, 1999, the Company had $149.9 million of working capital, of which
$64.2 million was cash and cash equivalents, and had a current ratio of 3:1.
The Company has primarily used its operating cash flow and the net proceeds
from public offerings to finance working capital needs and acquisitions. The
Company believes that its cash and cash equivalents, its operating cash flow
and the availability of credit under its bank revolving line of credit will
be sufficient to finance working capital needs through at least fiscal 2000.
In June 1999, CIBER's Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to
10% of CIBER's outstanding stock. At June 30, 1999, CIBER had purchased
500,000 shares for $8.7 million under this program. In July and August 1999,
CIBER purchased an additional 1,480,000 treasury shares for $24.9 million and
may, depending on circumstances, purchase more. Furthermore, CIBER may use
cash to purchase businesses. As a result, CIBER may borrow to finance such
activities. Future borrowings may include bank, private or public debt.
Net cash provided by operating activities was $17.8 million, $27.1 million
and $64.7 million in fiscal 1997, 1998 and 1999, respectively. Changes in
operating assets and liabilities have used significant amounts of cash,
primarily as a result of increases in accounts receivable.
The Company's accounts receivable increased 52.4% and 24.2% in fiscal 1998
and 1999, respectively, primarily as a result of the Company's increase in
revenues. The Company's accounts receivable totaled $151.0 million at June
30, 1999 compared to $121.5 million at June 30, 1998. Accounts receivable
days sales outstanding ("DSO") was 71 days at June 30, 1999, which management
believes is in line with industry standards.
Net cash used in investing activities in fiscal 1997, 1998 and 1999 was $27.4
million, $11.2 million and $40.5 million, respectively. The Company used cash
of $19.3 million, $351,000 and $26.5 million for acquisitions during fiscal
1997, 1998 and 1999, respectively. The Company also purchased property and
equipment of $7.2 million, $11.7 million and $14.0 million during fiscal
1997, 1998 and 1999, respectively.
Net cash provided by (used in) financing activities in fiscal 1997, 1998 and
1999 was $12.9 million, ($4.9 million), and $1.8 million respectively. The
Company obtained net cash proceeds from sales of common stock of $22.9
million, $5.8 million and $14.8 million in fiscal 1997, 1998 and 1999,
respectively. Various companies that have been acquired or have merged with
CIBER have had outstanding balances on lines of credit and notes payable.
Upon acquisition by or merger with CIBER, these borrowings were paid in full.
During fiscal 1999, CIBER purchased 706,000 shares of treasury stock for
$13.0 million. Of these treasury shares, 206,000 were reissued as additional
consideration related to the acquisition of CNSI and as sales of common stock
under CIBER's Employee Stock Purchase Plan.
The Company has a $35 million unsecured revolving line of credit with a bank.
There were no outstanding borrowings under this bank line at June 30, 1998
and 1999. Outstanding borrowings bear interest at the three month London
Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") plus 2%. The credit agreement requires a
commitment fee of 0.225% per annum on any unused portion of the line of
credit up to $20 million. The credit agreement expires in December 1999. The
Company expects, although there can be no assurance, to be able to renew this
line of credit on similar terms.
15
YEAR 2000 COMPLIANCE
THE FOLLOWING STATEMENTS ARE "YEAR 2000 READINESS DISCLOSURES" IN CONFORMANCE
WITH THE YEAR 2000 INFORMATION AND READINESS DISCLOSURE ACT OF 1998.
The "Year 2000" issue is the result of computer programs using two digits
rather than four to define the applicable year. Computer software and
hardware and other devices with embedded technology that are date sensitive
may recognize a date using "00" as the year 1900 rather than the year 2000.
This could result in a system failure or miscalculations causing disruptions
of CIBER's operations.
CIBER has instituted various projects to address the Year 2000 issue. CIBER
believes its material internal information technology ("IT") systems,
including payroll, billing and accounting systems, are currently Year 2000
compliant. For significant third-party software applications, CIBER has
obtained confirmation that the software is Year 2000 compliant. CIBER has
completed testing and remediation, if necessary, of all internally developed
software.
CIBER is currently evaluating its non-IT systems, such as building security,
elevators, fire-safety systems, telephones, voice mail and other systems
containing embedded microprocessors as well as evaluating the Year 2000
readiness of its significant suppliers. CIBER relies on the services of the
landlords of its offices, telecommunications companies, banks, utilities,
commercial airlines, and insurance companies, among others. As of June 30,
1999, CIBER has received Year 2000 compliance status information from all of
its significant suppliers. Of these, 53% have indicated that they are
currently Year 2000 compliant. The remainder have indicated that they plan to
be Year 2000 compliant by December 31, 1999. If CIBER does not obtain
reasonable assurances from its significant third-party vendors and suppliers
that there will be no interruption of service as a result of the Year 2000
issue, CIBER intends to devise contingency plans. There can be no assurance
that any contingency plans developed by CIBER will prevent such service
interruption on the part of one or more of CIBER's vendors from having a
material adverse effect on CIBER.
CIBER's principal business is providing IT services. Some of CIBER's services
are directly or indirectly related to the Year 2000 issue, including Year
2000 remediation services. CIBER provides services to clients that assist the
client in their Year 2000 projects. In addition, CIBER provides services to
clients directly related to client systems that may or may not be Year 2000
compliant. Due to the potential significance of the Year 2000 issue upon
client operations and upon any failure of critical client systems to which
CIBER has provided services, CIBER may be subject to claims regardless of
whether the failure is related to the services provided by CIBER. If
asserted, the resolution of such claims, including defense costs, could have
a material adverse effect on CIBER. CIBER generally attempts to include
provisions in client contracts that, among other things, disclaim implied
warranties, limit the duration of any express warranties, limit CIBER's
maximum liability and disclaim any warranties for projects managed by the
client. There can be no assurance that CIBER will be able to obtain these
contractual protections in future client contracts, or that such provisions
will protect CIBER from, or limit the amount of, any liability arising from
claims against CIBER.
As a reseller of certain IT products, CIBER only passes to its customers the
applicable vendors' warranties. CIBER makes no warranties regarding Year 2000
compliance of any of the products it resells. CIBER has developed and
licensed certain warehousing and traffic software products that have
subsequently been modified to be Year 2000 compliant. Year 2000 compliant
versions have been tested both internally and by a third party. CIBER is
offering the Year 2000 compliant software versions to its prior and existing
customers at no charge. CIBER plans to contact all its customers and make
available the Year 2000 compliant software by September 30, 1999.
As described above, CIBER has identified various potential issues associated
with the Year 2000 issue. CIBER is devoting internal resources and is working
with its suppliers to help ensure that CIBER's business is not substantially
interrupted as a result of the Year 2000. CIBER believes that the total
amounts spent by it to date and that it expects to spend in fiscal 2000
addressing the Year 2000 issue will be less than $250,000. CIBER currently
does not have a contingency plan in the event of a particular system not
16
being Year 2000 compliant. Such a plan will be developed if it becomes clear
that CIBER is not going to achieve its compliance objectives. Although CIBER
expects to identify and resolve all Year 2000 problems that could materially
adversely affect its business operations, management believes that it is not
possible to determine with certainty that all Year 2000 problems affecting
CIBER, its vendors, or its clients have been identified or corrected. If
CIBER is required to implement any contingency plan, it could have a material
adverse effect on CIBER's operations. In addition, the business interruption,
resulting from Year 2000 issues, of any of CIBER's significant clients could
have a material adverse effect on CIBER. This discussion of CIBER's Year 2000
efforts, management's expectations relating to Year 2000 compliance and the
possible effects on CIBER are forward-looking statements.
SEASONALITY
The Company experiences a moderate amount of seasonality. Typically,
operating income as a percentage of revenues is lowest in the last quarter of
each calendar year (the Company's second fiscal quarter) because more
holidays and vacations are taken at that time of year resulting in fewer
hours billed in that period.
RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
The Company believes that recent accounting pronouncements will not have a
material effect on its financial position or results of operations.
The Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) has proposed a new statement
that would, among other things, eliminate the pooling of interests method of
accounting for business combinations. The proposed statement would require
all business combinations to be recorded using the purchase method of
accounting and any resulting excess purchase price over the fair value of
acquired net assets ("goodwill") would be charged to earnings over a period
of not more than 20 years. The proposal would also allow the reporting of
earnings per share excluding amortization of goodwill. The proposed
accounting would be effective for business combinations after the effective
date. The actual pronouncement, when issued, will likely have changes from
the exposure draft. If issued, management believes this pronouncement would
increase the amount of goodwill recorded for subsequent business combinations
(as CIBER has historically completed a large percentage of business
combinations as poolings of interests) and also increase the amortization
charge against earnings. As a result, management believes its internal
operating metrics, excluding amortization of intangibles, should also be
considered when evaluating the Company's performance. Management also expects
investors to place increasing emphasis on "Cash EPS."
FACTORS THAT MAY AFFECT FUTURE RESULTS
Included in this report and elsewhere from time to time in other written
reports and oral statements, including but not limited to, the Annual Report
to Shareholders, quarterly shareholder letters, news releases and investor
presentations, are forward-looking statements about the Company's business
strategies, market potential, future financial performance and other matters
which reflect management's current expectations. Without limiting the
foregoing, the words "believes," "anticipates," "plans," "expects" and
similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. The
Company disclaims any intent or obligation to update publicly such
forward-looking statements. Actual results may differ materially from those
projected in any such forward-looking statements due to a number of factors,
including, without limitation, those set forth below.
The Company operates in a dynamic and rapidly changing environment that
involves numerous risks and uncertainties. The following section lists some,
but not all, of the risks and uncertainties that may have a material adverse
effect on the Company's business, financial condition, results of operations
and the market price of its common stock.
17
YEAR 2000 EFFECTS - IT services industry growth in 1999 and 1998 was driven
to a great extent by Year 2000 dynamics. This growth was caused not only by
increased demand for direct Year 2000 services, such as code remediation, but
also indirect services, such as ERP systems implementation and replacement of
non-compliant legacy systems.
Towards the end of fiscal 1999, CIBER's growth began to slow as companies
completed Year 2000 readiness programs and became reluctant, in many cases,
to commence significant new initiatives until Year 2000 failure risks have
passed, generally during the first half of calendar 2000.
Management believes there will be significant increased future demand for IT
services driven by e.business and other factors that will follow the Year
2000 transition period, beginning sometime during the first half of calendar
2000. However, during this transition period, revenues and operating
performance may decline. Given the lack of precedent for an issue of this
nature and magnitude, CIBER's ability to forecast the impact on future
results is limited.
GROWTH THROUGH BUSINESS COMBINATIONS AND INTERNAL EXPANSION - As an integral
part of its business strategy, the Company intends to continue to expand by
acquiring information technology businesses. The Company continuously
evaluates potential business combinations and aggressively pursues attractive
transactions. From July 1, 1996 through June 30, 1999, the Company completed
26 business combinations. The success of this strategy depends not only upon
the Company's ability to identify and acquire businesses on a cost-effective
basis, but also upon its ability to integrate acquired operations into its
organization effectively, to retain and motivate key personnel and to retain
clients of acquired businesses. Business combinations involve numerous risks,
including the ability to manage geographically remote offices, the diversion
of management's attention from other business concerns and the risks of
entering markets in which the Company has limited or no direct experience. In
addition, acquisitions may involve the expenditure of significant funds and
the incurrence of significant charges associated with the amortization of
goodwill or other intangible assets or future write-downs of the recorded
values of assets acquired. There can be no assurance the Company will be able
to combine additional business, or that any business combination will result
in benefits to the Company, or that management will be able to manage
effectively the resulting business. Additionally, the Company experiences
competition for business combinations.
The Company may open new offices in attractive markets with its own
personnel. Many of the Company's branch offices were originally start-up
operations. Not all branch offices, whether start-up or acquired, have been
successful. The Company's growth rate has been due, in part, to the growth of
industry demand for information technology professional services. There can
be no assurance that this increased industry demand will continue in future
periods. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to
successfully start up, identify, acquire, or integrate future successful
branch office operations.
ABILITY TO ATTRACT AND RETAIN QUALIFIED CONSULTANTS - The Company's future
success will depend in part on its ability to hire and retain adequately
trained personnel who can address the changing and increasingly sophisticated
needs of its clients. The Company's on-going personnel needs arise from: (i)
increased demand for the Company's services, (ii) turnover, which is
generally high in the industry and (iii) client requests for consultants
trained in the newest software and hardware technologies. Few of the
Company's employees are bound by non-compete agreements. Competition for
personnel in the information technology services industry is significant and
the Company has had, and expects to continue to have, difficulty in
attracting and retaining an optimal level of qualified consultants. In
particular, competition is intense for the limited number of qualified
project managers and professionals with specialized skills, such as a working
knowledge of certain sophisticated software. There can be no assurance that
the Company will be successful in attracting and retaining the personnel it
requires to continue to grow.
DEPENDENCE ON SIGNIFICANT RELATIONSHIPS AND THE ABSENCE OF LONG-TERM
CONTRACTS -The Company's five largest clients accounted for 15% of the
Company's total revenues for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1999. No one
client accounted for more than 10% of the Company's total revenues in fiscal
1999. CIBER strives to develop long-term relationships with its clients. Most
client assignments are from three to twelve months, however, many of the
Company's client relationships have continued for many years. Although they
may be subject to penalty provisions, clients may generally cancel a contact
at any time. In addition,
18
under many contracts, clients may reduce their use of the Company's services
under such contract without penalty. The termination or significant reduction
of its business relationship with any of its significant clients would have a
material adverse effect on the Company. Additionally, the Company has a
significant relationship with PeopleSoft as a PeopleSoft implementation
partner. In fiscal 1999, the Company derived approximately 10% of its total
revenues from clients who purchased implementation services for their
PeopleSoft software. In the event PeopleSoft products become obsolete or
non-competitive or if the Company should lose its "implementation partner"
status with PeopleSoft, the Company could suffer a material adverse effect.
MANAGEMENT OF A LARGE AND RAPIDLY GROWING BUSINESS - The Company's rapid
growth could place a substantial strain on its operational, administrative
and financial resources. The Company's ability to manage the growth of its
staff and facilities effectively will require it to continue to improve its
operational, financial and other internal systems, and to train, motivate and
manage its consultants. If the Company's management is unable to manage
growth effectively or its consultants are unable to achieve anticipated
performance levels, or if the integration of new businesses results in a
material diversion of management's attention from the day-to-day operations
of the business, the Company's results of operations would be materially
adversely affected.
PROJECT RISKS - The Company has provided and intends to continue to provide
project services to its clients. Projects are distinguishable from the
Company's professional services staff supplementation contracts by the level
of responsibility assumed by the Company and the potentially longer and more
costly sales cycle of a project. These factors may cause fluctuations in
quarterly results. In a typical project, the Company assumes major
responsibilities for the management of the project and/or the design of
deliverables that results in a client-specific outcome. With professional
services staff supplementation contracts, the Company's clients generally
maintain responsibility for the overall tasks. The failure of a project or
the failure of the Company to provide project services in a satisfactory
manner could have a material adverse effect on the Company. Further, the
Company may undertake projects on a fixed-price basis and also may guarantee
performance based upon defined operating specifications. Cost overruns,
unsatisfactory performance or unanticipated difficulties in completing
projects could have a material adverse effect on the Company's results of
operations.
PRICING AND MARGIN PRESSURE - Many of the Company's larger clients purchase
information technology services primarily from a limited number of
pre-approved vendors. In order to remain on its clients' vendor lists and to
develop new client relationships, the Company must satisfy client
requirements at competitive rates. Although the Company continually attempts
to lower its costs, there are other companies that may offer the same or
similar services at equal or lower costs. Furthermore, if competition
intensifies between information technology service providers, there may be
increased demand for qualified consultants resulting in upward market
pressure on consultant compensation. There can be no assurance that the
Company will be able to compete effectively on pricing or other requirements
and, as a result, the Company could lose clients or be unable to maintain
historic gross margin levels or to operate profitably. With respect to the
Company's implementation services for software packages, the manufacturers of
such software may have training or other requirements that inhibit the
Company from competing effectively with other packaged software
implementation providers. In addition, as the Company expands its service
offerings to include a greater number of fixed-price projects, the Company
may experience a decrease in margins as a result of unanticipated cost
overruns resulting from the inability to meet various project requirements.
COMPETITION - The Company operates in a highly competitive and rapidly
changing industry and competes with a variety of companies. Most of these
competing companies, many of which are significantly larger and have greater
financial, technical and marketing resources, provide the same services as
those offered by, and some offer a wider variety of services than, the
Company. Many large accounting and management consulting firms offer services
that overlap with a significant portion of the Company's services, and the
Company competes with the internal information technology staffs of its
clients and potential clients. Also, computer hardware and software vendors
are becoming increasingly involved in systems integration projects. There can
be no assurance that the Company will be able to continue to compete
successfully
19
with its existing or future competitors or that competition will not have a
material adverse effect on the Company's results of operations.
POTENTIAL FLUCTUATIONS IN QUARTERLY OPERATING RESULTS - The Company's
quarterly operating results may fluctuate significantly in the future as a
result of a variety of factors, many of which are outside the Company's
control. Factors that may affect the Company's quarterly revenues or
operating results generally include: costs relating to the expansion of the
Company's business, the extent and timing of business acquisitions, the
incurrence of merger costs, the timing of assignments from customers, the
seasonal nature of the Company's business due to variations in holidays and
vacation schedules, the introduction of new services by the Company or its
competitors, price competition or price changes, general economic conditions
and economic conditions specific to the information technology, consulting,
or information technology staffing industries. Quarterly sales and operating
results can be difficult to forecast even in the short term. Due to all of
the foregoing factors, it is possible that the Company's revenues or
operating results in one or more future quarters will fail to meet or exceed
the expectations of security analysts or investors. In such event, the
trading price of the Company's common stock would likely be materially
adversely affected.
PRICE VOLATILITY - The market price of the Company's common stock could be
subject to significant fluctuations in response to variations in quarterly
operating results, the Company's prospects, changes in earnings estimates by
securities analysts and by economic, financial and other factors and market
conditions that can affect the capital markets generally, the industry
segment of which the Company is a part, the NYSE, including the level of, and
fluctuations in, the trading prices of stocks generally and sales of
substantial amounts of the Company's common stock in the market, or the
perception that such sales could occur, and by other events that are
difficult to predict and are beyond the Company's control. In addition, the
securities markets have experienced significant price and volume fluctuations
from time to time in recent years that have often been unrelated or
disproportionate to the operating performance of particular companies. These
broad fluctuations may adversely affect the market price of the Company's
common stock.
INTERNATIONAL EXPANSION - In future periods, CIBER may significantly expand
its international operations, which currently includes offices in Toronto and
Vancouver, Canada. Such international operations will be subject to political
and economic uncertainties, fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates
and new tax and legal requirements. Other risks inherent in managing
international operations include geographically distant locations, customers
and employees speaking different languages and different cultural approaches
to the conduct of business.
ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
The Company has no activities in derivative financial or commodity
instruments. The Company's exposure to market risks, (i.e. interest rate
risk, foreign currency exchange rate risk, equity price risk) through other
financial instruments, including, among others, cash equivalents, accounts
receivable, lines of credit, is not material.

ITEM 8. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA
INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
The Board of Directors and Shareholders
CIBER, Inc.:
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of CIBER, Inc.
and subsidiaries as of June 30, 1998 and 1999, and the related consolidated
statements of operations, shareholders' equity and cash flows for each of the
years in the three-year period ended June 30, 1999. In connection with our
audits of the consolidated financial statements, we also have audited
Schedule II - Valuation and Qualifying Accounts. These consolidated financial
statements and the financial statement schedule are the responsibility of the
Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
consolidated financial statements and the financial statement schedule based
on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free
of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis,
evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.
An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a
reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above
present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of CIBER,
Inc. and subsidiaries as of June 30, 1998 and 1999, and the results of their
operations and their cash flows for each of the years in the three-year
period ended June 30, 1999, in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles. Also in our opinion, the related financial statement schedule,
when considered in relation to the basic consolidated financial statements
taken as a whole, presents fairly, in all material respects, the information
set forth therein.

CIBER, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 1997, 1998 AND 1999
(1) NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
(a) NATURE OF OPERATIONS
CIBER, Inc. ("CIBER" or the "Company") is a provider of information technology
("IT") consulting services. At August 31, 1999, CIBER had approximately 6,500
employees located in 45 major cities in 25 states plus Canada, and offered IT
solutions in the following areas:
- Strategic IT & Management Consulting
- e.Business Solutions
- ERP/Enterprise Software Solutions
- Custom IT Solutions
- Enterprise Systems & Network Integration
- Enterprise Outsourcing
(b) PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION AND INTERIM FINANCIAL INFORMATION
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and
its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All material intercompany balances and
transactions have been eliminated.
(c) CASH EQUIVALENTS
All highly liquid investments purchased with a maturity of three months or less
are considered to be cash equivalents. Cash equivalents consist of money market
funds of $10,199,000 and $19,601,000 at June 30, 1998 and 1999, respectively,
and investment grade commercial paper of $21,179,000 and $33,213,000 at June 30,
1998 and 1999, respectively.
(d) INVENTORIES
Inventories consist of computer networking equipment and supplies and are stated
at the lower of cost or market using the first-in, first-out method.
(e) PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT
Property and equipment, which consists primarily of computer equipment and
furniture, is stated at cost. Depreciation is computed using straight-line and
accelerated methods over the estimated useful lives, ranging primarily from five
to seven years. Depreciation expense was $3,210,000, $5,532,000 and $7,590,000
for the years ended June 30, 1997, 1998 and 1999, respectively.
(f) COSTS OF DEVELOPING COMPUTER SOFTWARE FOR INTERNAL USE
Direct costs of time and material incurred for the development of software for
internal use are capitalized as property and equipment. These costs are
depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the
software, ranging from three to seven years.
(g) INTANGIBLE ASSETS
Intangible assets consist of goodwill, client lists and noncompete agreements.
Goodwill is amortized over 12 to 20 years. Client lists are amortized over the
estimated useful lives ranging from two to eight years. Noncompete agreements
are amortized over the terms of the contracts that range from one to six years.
Amortization is recorded using the straight-line method.
26
CIBER, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Intangible assets are reviewed for impairment when events indicate the carrying
amount of intangible assets may not be recoverable. Impairments would be
considered to exist when the estimated non-discounted future cash flows expected
to result from the use of the intangible asset are less than the carrying amount
of the asset. Impairment, if any, will be measured based on forecasted future
discounted operating cash flows.
(h) REVENUE RECOGNITION
CIBER provides consulting services under time-and-material and fixed-price
contracts. CIBER recognizes revenue under time-and-material contracts as hours
and costs are incurred. For fixed-price contracts, revenue is recognized on the
basis of the estimated percentage of completion based on costs incurred relative
to total estimated costs. Losses, if any, on fixed-price contracts are
recognized when the loss is determined.
Other revenues include sales of computer hardware products, software license and
maintenance fees, and commissions on computer product sales. Revenues related to
the sale of computer products are recognized when the products are shipped.
Software license fee revenues are recognized over the period of the software
implementation and revenues from maintenance agreements are recognized ratably
over the maintenance period.
(i) INCOME TAXES
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax
consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement
carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax
bases using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years
in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. A
tax benefit or expense is recognized for the net change in the deferred tax
asset or liability during the period. The effect on deferred tax assets and
liabilities due to a change in tax rates is recognized in income tax expense in
the period that includes the enactment date.
Certain companies which merged with CIBER in business combinations accounted for
as poolings of interests had elected S corporation status for U.S. federal
income tax purposes, and therefore, were generally not subject to income taxes.
Accordingly, no income tax expense is included in the historical consolidated
financial statements for the operations of these companies prior to their merger
with CIBER. The related net deferred tax asset or liability of these companies
at the date of their respective mergers with CIBER is recorded as income tax
benefit or expense.
(j) PRO FORMA NET INCOME
Pro forma net income has been presented because certain companies, which have
merged with CIBER in business combinations accounted for as poolings of
interests, were S corporations and generally not subject to income taxes.
Accordingly, no provision for income taxes has been included in the historical
consolidated financial statements for the operations of these companies prior to
their merger with CIBER. The pro forma adjustment to income taxes has been
computed as if the merged companies had been taxable entities subject to income
taxes for all periods prior to their merger with CIBER at the marginal rates
applicable in such periods. In addition, the pro forma adjustments to income tax
expense for the years ended June 30, 1997 and 1998 eliminate the income tax
expense (benefit) of $1,717,000 and ($135,000), respectively, representing the
one-time income tax expense (benefit) resulting from the termination of the S
corporation status of these companies. There was no pro forma adjustment to
income tax expense for the year ended June 30, 1999.
(k) PRO FORMA INCOME PER SHARE
Basic EPS is computed by dividing income available to common shareholders by the
weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS
includes the effects of the potential dilution of the Company's stock options,
determined using the treasury stock method. The computation of weighted average
shares includes the shares and options issued in connection with business
combinations accounted for as poolings of interests as if they had been
outstanding for all periods prior to the merger. The number of antidilutive
stock options omitted from the computation of weighted average shares was
27
CIBER, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1,182,000 for the year ended June 30, 1999. There were no antidilutive stock
options for the years ended June 30, 1998 and 1997.
(l) STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
As permitted by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 ("SFAS
123"), the Company accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with the
provisions of Accounting Principles Board Opinion 25, and related
interpretations ("APB 25"). The Company measures stock-based compensation cost
as the excess, if any, of the quoted market price of CIBER common stock at the
grant date over the amount the employee must pay for the stock. CIBER generally
grants stock options at fair market value at the date of grant. The pro forma
disclosures of net income and income per share, as if the fair-value based
method defined in SFAS 123 had been applied, are provided in Note 10.
(m) ESTIMATES
The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities and disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the
financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during
the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
(n) FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The fair value of the Company's financial instruments approximates their
carrying amounts due to the relatively short periods to maturity of the
instruments and/or variable interest rates of the instruments which approximate
current market rates.
(o) RECLASSIFICATIONS
Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform with the current
year presentation.

up to $20 million. The credit agreement expires in December 1999. The terms and
conditions of the credit agreement include several covenants, including those
whereby CIBER agrees to the maintenance of a certain net worth and debt service
coverage ratios, among other things. Amounts advanced under the line of credit
can be used to consummate an acquisition and may be required by the bank to be

principal; in such event, the line of credit would be reduced by the amount of
the term note.

EMPLOYEES' STOCK OPTION PLAN - The Company has a stock option plan for employees
and up to 8,000,000 shares of the Company's common stock are authorized for
issuance under this plan. The plan administrators may grant to officers,
employees and consultants, restricted stock, stock options, performance bonuses
or any combination thereof. The number and nature of awards granted is
determined by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors. Options
become exercisable as determined at the date of grant by the Board of Directors
and expire within 10 years from the date of grant.
DIRECTORS' STOCK OPTION PLAN - Up to 200,000 shares of the Company's common
stock are authorized for issuance to non-employee, non-affiliate directors under
this plan. Such stock options are non-discretionary and granted annually at the
fair market value of the Company's common stock on the date of grant. The number
of options granted annually is fixed by the plan. Options expire 10 years from
the date of grant.
DIRECTORS' STOCK COMPENSATION PLAN - Up to 50,000 shares of the Company's common
stock are authorized for issuance to non-employee directors under this plan.
Each non-employee director is issued shares having a fair market value of

Directors. During the years ended June 30, 1997, 1998 and 1999, the Company

future issuance under the Company's stock-based compensation plans.
On September 1, 1998, the Board of Directors authorized a repricing program for
employees who were originally granted options under the Employees' Stock Option
Plan from March 1, 1998 to August 31, 1998 at exercise prices ranging from
$28.88 to $38.00 that repriced all of these outstanding stock options to an

ranging from $21.53 to $40.25, to cancel these stock options and replace them
with options under the Employees' Stock Option Plan at an exercise price of

June 30, 1997, 1998 and 1999 was $62,000, $59,000 and $395,000, respectively.
Had the Company determined compensation cost for its stock-based compensation
plans based on the fair value at the grant date, as calculated in accordance
with SFAS 123, the Company's net income, pro forma net income, and pro forma
income per share for the years ended June 30 would have been reduced to the pro
forma amounts indicated below (in thousands, except per share data):
