EXPLANATORY NOTE
 
 
This Annual Report on Form 10-K/A is being filed as Amendment No. 1 to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005, which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 31, 2006 (the "Original Filing"). We are filing this Amendment No. 1 to correctly reflect on the cover page that the report contains disclosure of delinquent filers pursuant to Item 405 of Regulation S-K and to add the following sentence to the end of the second paragraph of Item 9A: "The Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that as a result of the material weakness, as of December 31, 2005, the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were not effective." This additional sentence does not change the conclusions as previously disclosed.
 
This Amendment No. 1 does not reflect events occurring after the filing date of the Original Filing or modify or update those disclosures that may have been affected by subsequent events.

Item 9A. Disclosure Controls and Procedures.
 
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 We have established disclosure controls and procedures to ensure that material information relating to the Company, including its consolidated subsidiaries, is made known to the officers who certify the Company’s financial reports and to other members of senior management and the Board of Directors.
 
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the Company’s reports under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including the principal executive officer and principal financial officer of the Company, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. The Company’s management, with the participation of the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the fiscal year covered by this Annual Report on Form 10-K. As described below under Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting, the Company has identified significant deficiencies related to inadequate staffing levels which aggregated to a material weakness in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f)). The Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that as a result of the material weakness, as of December 31, 2005, the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were not effective.

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 Rules 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.

A significant deficiency is a control deficiency, or combination of control deficiencies, that adversely affects our ability to initiate, authorize, record, process, or report external financial data reliably in accordance with generally accepted accounting principals such that there is more than a remote likelihood that a misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements that is more than inconsequential will not be prevented or detected. A material weakness is a control deficiency, or combination of control deficiencies, that results in more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected. As of December 31, 2005, certain significant deficiencies were identified, principally caused by inadequate staffing levels, as described below:

§  
Lack of segregation of duties, with certain accounting personnel being assigned inappropriate access to the automated general ledger system, such as in our procure to pay and order to cash processes;
§  
The design of our internal control structure emphasized significant reliance on manual detect controls, primarily performed by a single individual, and limited reliance on application and prevent controls;
§  
Lack of detail review of key financial spreadsheets, including spreadsheets supporting journal entries affecting revenue such as unbilled revenue and deferred revenue.

In our assessment, we determined that the aggregation of the significant deficiencies described above constitutes a material weakness as of December 31, 2005 which results in a more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected. Based on this material weakness and the criteria set forth by the COSO Framework, we have concluded that our internal control over financial reporting at December 31, 2005 was not effective.

Our management’s assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2005 has been audited by BDO Seidman, LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in their report which is included herein.

Remediation Plan for Material Weakness in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

During 2005, the Company implemented significant new internal information technology systems and applications including a new general ledger system and a new time and expense reporting system which can be utilized to deliver more automated information technology application controls and reduce the reliance on financial accounting personnel and the need for segregation of duties. In addition, given our significant growth, we understand that our financial accounting group must expand and that we must automate many of our information technology application controls in order to meet the internal control requirements of our rapidly growing organization. By hiring more financial accounting personnel and by leveraging the capabilities of our new internal information systems and accounting systems to automate controls, we believe will remedy the material weakness described in Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. However, we do not believe that all of these changes will be in effect at the end of the first quarter of 2006, and therefore, we will likely report that a material weakness in internal control continues to exist in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the first quarter of fiscal 2006.

Changes in Internal Controls
 
There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting or in factors affecting internal control over financial reporting during the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2005, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
 
Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
 
The Board of Directors and Stockholders of Perficient, Inc.
Austin, Texas

We have audited management's assessment, included in the accompanying Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting, that Perficient, Inc. did not maintain effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2005, because of the effect of a material weakness identified in management’s assessment, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Perficient, Inc.’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 an opinion on management's assessment and an opinion 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. Our audit included 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 considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

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 accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. A company's internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) 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 (3) 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.

A material weakness is a control deficiency, or a combination of control deficiencies, that results in more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected.

The following material weakness, which encompasses an aggregation of significant deficiencies, has been identified and included in management’s assessment as of December 31, 2005:

The Company did not maintain a sufficient number of personnel to fill key accounting functions which resulted in the existing accounting staff to be assigned to perform incompatible duties, such as in the procure to pay and order to cash processes, and some personnel having inappropriate access to the automated general ledger system. Further, the lack of adequate staff levels contributed to the Company placing limited reliance on prevent and application controls and an over reliance on detect controls, primarily performed by one individual. In addition, this weakness contributed to the lack of detail reviews of key spreadsheet controls, such as in the unbilled revenue and deferred revenue accounts. This situation could result in accounting personnel effecting unauthorized transactions or overlooking valid transactions to be recorded or accounting errors to go undetected. Consequently, a material misstatement of significant accounts and disclosures could occur resulting in a material misstatement to the Company’s interim and annual consolidated financial statements.

This material weakness was considered in determining the nature, timing and extent of audit tests applied in our audit of the financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2005, and this report does not affect our report dated March 30, 2006 on those financial statements.

In our opinion, management's assessment that Perficient, Inc. did not maintain effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2005, is fairly stated, in all material respects, based on the COSO criteria. Also in our opinion, because of the effect of the material weakness described above on the achievement of the objectives of the control criteria, Perficient, Inc. has not maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2005, based on the criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).

We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheets of Perficient, Inc. as of December 31, 2005 and 2004, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity and comprehensive income, and cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2005, of Perficient, Inc. and our report dated March 30, 2006, expressed an unqualified opinion.
