REL CONSULTANCY GROUP LTD

Independent Auditors’ Report to the Shareholders of REL Consultancy Group Ltd

 

We have audited the balance sheet of REL Consultancy Group Limited (the Company) as at 31 December 2004 and the profit and loss account and cash flow statement for the year ended 31 December 2004 and notes 1 to 26. These financial statements are the responsibility of REL Consultancy Group Limited’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.

 

We have neither audited nor reviewed the financial information as of and for the nine month periods ended 30 September 2005 and 2004.

 

We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards in the United Kingdom and the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform an audit of its internal controls over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal controls over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. 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 audit provides 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 REL Consultancy Group Limited as of 31 December 2004 and results of its operations and its cash flows for the year ended 31 December 2004 in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United Kingdom. We are not expressing an opinion in respect of any other financial period.

 

Accounting principles generally accepted in the United Kingdom vary in certain significant respects from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Information relating to the nature and effect of such differences is presented in Note 26 to the financial statements.

REL CONSULTANCY GROUP LTD

Notes to the Financial Statements

 

1. PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

The following accounting policies have been applied consistently in dealing with items which are considered material in relation to the accounts.

 

(a) Basis of accounting

 

The accounts have been prepared under the historical cost accounting rules and in accordance with applicable UK accounting standards.

 

(b) Basis of consolidation

 

The Group financial statements consolidate the financial statements of the company and its principal subsidiary undertakings for the year ended 31 December 2004, and the unaudited nine months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004.

 

In accordance with UITF 38, Accounting for ESOP Trusts, until such time as the company’s own shares held by the ESOP trust vest unconditionally in employees, the consideration paid for the shares has been deducted in arriving at shareholders’ funds.

 

(c) Revenue Recognition

 

Revenues on consulting contracts are recognised as the services are performed and amounts are earned, after adjusting for all foreseeable future losses but excluding sales taxes. Revenues are considered to be earned once evidence is available of an agreement, services are delivered, fees are fixed or determinable, and collectibility is reasonably assured. Client prepayments (even if non refundable) are deferred, i.e. classified as a liability, and recognised over future periods as services are delivered or performed.

 

Contracts, including incentives related to costs incurred, benefits produced or adherence to schedule may increase the variability in revenues and margins earned. Revenues relating to such incentive payments are recorded in the period in which the contingency is satisfied and acceptance, where applicable, and delivery of agreed benefits have occurred.

 

Revenue in respect of software product licences with no significant service revenue is recognised 100% on delivery and acceptance. Maintenance revenues are recognised rateably over the term of the maintenance agreement. Consulting and training revenues relating to the implementation of software are recognised as the services are performed on a time and materials basis or, where fixed price agreements are in place, revenue is recognised using the percentage of completion basis.

 

Expenses billed to and paid by customers are excluded from revenues and are treated as an operating cost less the related customer reimbursement.

 

(d) Software development costs

 

Internally generated software development costs associated with new products and significant enhancements to existing software products are expensed as incurred until technological feasibility has been established.

 

(e) Tangible fixed assets and depreciation

 

Fixed assets are stated at cost. Depreciation is provided at rates calculated to write off the cost of each asset on a straight line basis over its expected useful life at the following rates:

 

Short leasehold property

   - over the lease term

Fixtures and equipment

   - 15%-33 1/3% p.a

Motor vehicles

   - 25% p.a

Notes to the Financial Statements 31 December (cont’d)

 

1. PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont’d)

 

(f) Pension costs

 

The Group makes contributions to defined contribution schemes on behalf of employees and directors. Pension costs are charged to the profit and loss account in accordance with SSAP 24.

 

(g) Leasing

 

Assets held under finance leases are included under fixed assets at the fair value of the assets. The assets are depreciated over the shorter of the lease term and their useful lives. Obligations under such agreements are included in creditors net of finance charges allocated to future periods. The finance element of the rental payment is charged to the profit and loss account so as to produce a constant periodic rate of charge on the net obligation outstanding in each period.

 

Rentals payable under operating leases are charged to the profit and loss account on a straight line basis over the lease term.

 

(h) Deferred taxation

 

Deferred tax is provided in full in respect of taxation deferred by timing differences between the treatment of certain items for taxation and accounting purposes at the tax rate enacted or substantially enacted at the year end. The deferred tax balance has not been discounted.

 

(i) Foreign exchange

 

Transactions denominated in foreign currencies are translated into sterling and recorded at the rate of exchange, which approximates to that ruling at the date of the transaction. Balances denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the exchange rates ruling at the balance sheet date. The results of overseas subsidiaries are translated at the average rates of exchange for the year. The balance sheets of overseas subsidiaries are translated at the exchange rate ruling on the balance sheet date. All exchange differences are taken to the profit and loss account with the exception of exchange differences arising from the retranslation of opening net assets together with the difference between the profit and loss account translated at the average rates and the closing rates, which are recorded as movements on reserves.

 

2. TURNOVER

 

Turnover represents the invoiced amount of services provided during the year net of value added tax and is analysed as follows:

26. SUMMARY OF THE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES GENERALLY ACCEPTED IN THE UNITED KINGDOM AND THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA

 

The consolidated financial statements of REL Consultancy Group Limited are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United Kingdom (“U.K. GAAP”) which differ in certain respects from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”).

 

There are no significant adjustments to the retained loss for the year and equity shareholders’ funds when reconciling amounts recorded in the financial statements of REL Consultancy Group Limited to the corresponding amounts that would have otherwise been recognised under U.S. GAAP.

26. SUMMARY OF THE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES GENERALLY ACCEPTED IN THE UNITED KINGDOM AND THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA (cont’d)

 

Presentational differences:

 

Balance sheet presentation

 

Under U.K. GAAP, assets in the balance sheet are presented in ascending order of liquidity. Under U.S. GAAP, assets are presented in descending order of liquidity.

 

Comprehensive loss

 

The comprehensive loss under U.S. GAAP is the same as total recognised gains and losses under U.K. GAAP for all periods presented.

 

Cash flow statements

 

Under U.K. GAAP, the consolidated cash flow statement is presented in accordance with FRS No. 1 (Revised) Cash Flow Statements (FRS 1). The statement prepared under FRS 1 presents substantially the same information as that required under SFAS No. 95 Statement of Cash Flows. Under U.S. GAAP, however, there are certain differences from U.K. GAAP with regard to classification of items within the cash flow statement with regard to the definition of cash. Under SFAS No. 95, cash and cash equivalents include cash and short-term investments with original maturities of three months or less. Under FRS 1, cash comprises cash in hand and at bank (on demand) and overnight deposits, net of bank overdrafts.

SUMMARY OF UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL

INFORMATION

 

On November 29, 2005, Answerthink, Inc. (the “Company”) consummated the acquisition (the “Acquisition”) of REL Consultancy Group Limited (“REL”), a privately-held U.K. company that provides working capital management advisory services primarily in Europe and the U.S.

 

Under the terms of the Share Purchase Agreement, the stockholders of REL received aggregate cash consideration of $21.3 million upon closing. Deferred and additional consideration of approximately $7.1 million will be paid at various dates through May 15, 2006, provided that the Company has not notified the Sellers of any warranty or indemnity claims. These amounts do not include additional consideration in a sum not to exceed £5,260,000 or approximately $9 million due upon the achievement of certain revenue targets related to the performance of REL during the 12-month period ending December 31, 2005 and the adjustment to the consideration paid to the shareholders based on the final value of net tangible assets acquired at closing.

 

The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2004 and the nine months ended September 30, 2005 combine historical results for the Company and REL as if the acquisition had occurred on January 1, 2004 and include certain adjustments that are directly attributable to the transaction, which are expected to have a continuing impact on the Company, and are factually supportable, as summarized in the accompanying notes. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2005 combines the historical results for the Company and REL as if the acquisition had occurred on September 30, 2005 and includes certain adjustments that are directly attributable to the transaction and are factually supportable, as summarized in the accompanying notes. The cash purchase price and the cash and non-cash transaction costs have been allocated to specific identifiable tangible and intangible assets and liabilities in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 141 “Business Combination” and supported by a report prepared by an independent valuation firm.

 

The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial information is provided for illustrative purposes only. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial information presented herein is based on management’s estimate of the effects of the Acquisition, had such transaction occurred on the dates indicated herein, based on the current available information and certain assumptions and estimates that the Company believes are reasonable under the circumstances. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial information is not necessarily indicative of the results of operations or financial position that actually would have been achieved had the Acquisition been consummated on the dates indicated, or that may be achieved in the future.

 

The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statement of operations do not reflect any operating efficiencies and cost savings that we may achieve with respect to the entities nor any expenses associated with achieving those benefits. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statements of operations presented are based on currently available information and upon certain assumptions that the Company believes are reasonable as described in the accompanying notes, which include adjustments that have the effect of presenting the pro forma condensed combined statements of operations under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”). The adjustments included in the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements present the Company’s preliminary determination of these adjustments based upon available information. There can be no assurance that the actual adjustments will not differ significantly from the pro forma adjustments reflected in the pro forma financial information.

 

The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial information presented herein should be read in conjunction with the financial statements of REL Consultancy Group contained elsewhere in this Current Report on Form 8-K/A, as well as the information contained in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on December 1, 2005 and the Company’s historical financial statements, together with the notes, thereto, included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004 and quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the period ended September 30, 2005.

 

The Company’s information is derived from its unaudited financial statements for the quarterly period ended September 30, 2005 and its audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2004. These unaudited and audited financial statements are included in the Company’s Form 10-Q, filed on November 9, 2005, and in the Company’s Form 10-K, filed on March 16, 2005, respectively. REL’s information is derived from its unaudited interim financial statements as of and for the nine month period ended September 30, 2005, and its audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2004. REL’s historical information was prepared using accounting principles generally accepted in the United Kingdom (“UK GAAP”) and British Pounds (“UK British Pounds”) and is restated in US GAAP and US Dollars. Additionally, certain line items reported by REL on its historical statements have been reclassified and presented to conform to the method of presentation utilized by the Company.

 

In converting REL’s statement of operations information from UK British Pounds to US Dollars, all statements of operations captions were translated using the average exchange rate for the period presented. In converting REL’s consolidated balance sheet from UK British Pounds to US Dollars, the period end rate was used. In converting REL’s stockholders’ equity from UK British Pounds to US Dollars, the historical exchange rates were used.
