EXPLANATORY NOTE

 

Answerthink, Inc. (the “Company”) is filing this Amendment No. 2 to its Annual Report on Form 10-K for its fiscal year ended December 31, 2004 (the “Original Filing”), which was originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 16, 2005. This Amendment No. 2 is being filed solely for the purpose of amending Items 8 and 9A.

 

With respect to Item 8, the Company is filing a supplemental Report of Independent Registered Certified Public Accounting Firm which corrects their original Report which inadvertently left out a reference to the audit of the previously filed financial statement schedule. The supplemental Report does not replace the original Report, but only supplements it and should be read together with the original Report and the other information contained in Item 8 included in the Original Filing.

 

With respect to Item 9A, at the time of the Original Filing, the Company elected to utilize the 45-day extension offered to certain registrants by the Securities and Exchange Commission to delay the filing of management’s report on internal control over financial reporting, as required by Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and for the Company’s independent registered certified public accounting firm to attest to this report. Management’s annual report on internal control over financial reporting, the related report of the Company’s independent registered certified public accounting firm and the related consent of independent registered certified public accounting firm are included in this Amendment No. 2 in Item 9A.

 

As a result of this Amendment No. 2, the certifications pursuant to Section 302 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, filed as exhibits to the Original Filing, have been re-executed and re-filed as of the date of this Amendment No. 2.

 

Except for the amendments described above, this Amendment No. 2 does not modify or update the Company’s previously reported financial statements and other financial disclosures in, or exhibits to, the Original Filing. Unaffected items of the Original Filing have not been repeated in this Amendment No. 2.

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

Conclusion Regarding the Effectiveness of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, we conducted an evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined under Rule 13a-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act). Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this annual report.

 

Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

 

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f). Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on the framework in “Internal Control – Integrated Framework” issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on our evaluation under the framework in “Internal Control – Integrated Framework,” our management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of the end of the period covered by this annual report.

 

Our management’s assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of the end of the period covered by this annual report, has been audited by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, an independent registered certified public accounting firm, as stated in their report which is included herein.

 

Report of Independent Registered Certified Public Accounting Firm

 

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders

of Answerthink, Inc.

 

In our opinion, management’s assessment, included in the accompanying Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting, that Answerthink, Inc. (the “Company”) maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2004 based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO), is fairly stated, in all material respects, based on those criteria. Also, in our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2004, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework issued by the COSO. The Company’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting. Our responsibility is to express opinions on management’s assessment and on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. An audit includes obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, evaluating management’s assessment, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control, and performing such other procedures as we consider necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinions.

 

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally


accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

 

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

 

We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated financial statements of Answerthink, Inc. at December 31, 2004 and 2003 and for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2004 and in our report dated March 14, 2005 we expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.
