PART I

Item 1. Business

The Company

        We provide diversified professional and technical services involving the application of scientific, engineering and management expertise to solve complex technical problems for government and commercial customers in the United States and abroad. These services frequently involve computer and systems technology.

        Our technical services consist of basic and applied research services; design and development of computer software; systems integration; systems engineering; technical operational and management support services; environmental engineering; design and integration of network systems; technical engineering, analysis and consulting support services; and development of systems, policies, concepts and programs. Our high-technology products, which we design and develop, include customized and standard hardware and software, such as automatic equipment identification technology, sensors, nondestructive imaging and security instruments.

        Through one of our subsidiaries, Telcordia Technologies, Inc., which we call "Telcordia," we are a provider of software, engineering and consulting services, advanced research and development, technical training and other services to the telecommunications industry.

        The major customers of our services are in the market segments of federal business, telecommunications and commercial. Effective February 1, 2004, we realigned our organizational structure to help improve our competitiveness by better aligning our business units with our major customers and key markets.

        Our business units are divided into three segments: Regulated, Non-Regulated Telecommunications and Non-Regulated Other, depending on the nature of the customers, the contractual requirements and the regulatory environment governing our services.

        Our business units in the Regulated segment provide the following technical services: research and intelligence; system and network solutions; transformation, test, training and logistics; enterprise and infrastructure solutions; and naval engineering and technical services. We provide our technical services and products through contractual arrangements as either a prime contractor or a subcontractor to other contractors, primarily for departments and agencies of the U.S. Government, including the Department of Agriculture, Department of Commerce, Department of Defense, Department of Energy, Department of Health and Human Services, Department of Homeland Security, Department of Justice, Department of Transportation, Department of Treasury, Department of Veterans Affairs, Environmental Protection Agency and National Aeronautics and Space Administration. Operations in the Regulated segment are subject to specific regulatory accounting and contracting guidelines such as Cost Accounting Standards and Federal Acquisition Regulations. The percentage of our revenues attributable to the Regulated segment for fiscal years 2004, 2003 and 2002 was 81%, 74% and 68%, respectively.

        Our business units in the Non-Regulated Telecommunications and the Non-Regulated Other segments provide technical services and products primarily to customers in commercial markets. Generally, operations in the Non-Regulated Telecommunications and the Non-Regulated Other segments are not subject to specific regulatory accounting or contracting guidelines.

        Our business units in the Non-Regulated Telecommunications segment provide technical services and products primarily for customers in the telecommunications business area. For fiscal years 2004, 2003 and 2002, our Telcordia subsidiary made up the Non-Regulated Telecommunications segment. The percentage of our revenues attributable to the Non-Regulated Telecommunications segment for fiscal years 2004, 2003 and 2002 was 13%, 18% and 25%, respectively.

2



        Our business units in the Non-Regulated Other segment provide technical services and products primarily for customers in commercial and international markets. The percentage of our revenues attributable to the Non-Regulated Other segment for fiscal years 2004, 2003 and 2002 was 6%, 8% and 8%, respectively. For certain other financial information regarding our reportable segments and geographic areas, see Note 2 of the notes to consolidated financial statements on page F-15 of this Form 10-K.

    Regulated Segment

        We provide a wide array of technical services to our government customers.

    Homeland Security. We provide a broad range of technical, information and security systems, products and services to the Department of Homeland Security as well as related federal, state and local law enforcement and emergency response agencies.

    Research and Intelligence. We provide systems engineering and program consulting support; operational analysis; software and systems development and integration; space, earth and atmospheric sciences and safety, reliability and quality assurance support to the Intelligence agencies, the Department of Defense and NASA. Additionally, we provide research and technology development and analysis for defense research programs.

    System and Network Solutions. We provide telecommunications network architecture design, implementation and operation; system and software development, integration, installation and operation for Department of Defense, Department of Justice and other federal agencies. Additionally, we provide information technology and information security services for federal agency customers.

    Transformation, Test, Training & Logistics. We provide policy and concept development; engineering life cycle support; system and subsystem modeling and simulation; and test, training and logistics support to major federal acquisition programs.

    Enterprise & Infrastructure Solutions. We provide enterprise architecture development and engineering; information technology systems, services and support; and infrastructure engineering and life cycle support to several federal civil agencies.

    Naval Engineering & Technical Services. We provide naval engineering design, systems and subsystems modification, installation, maintenance, training and life cycle support to shipboard and shore based naval programs and support systems.

    Non-Regulated Telecommunications

        In the telecommunications area, we provide new software and enhancement of existing software for network management and operation, and network design and implementation services.

    Non-Regulated Other

        Our technical services and products are sold to commercial customers in both the United States and abroad. We provide a broad range of consulting services and information technology and outsourcing systems and services to commercial and international customers. Included are business and industry consulting, network systems design, development, management and operations as well as enterprise systems and applications software development, integration, operation and maintenance.

3


    Other

        In addition to our operating groups, we make equity investments in publicly traded and private emerging technology companies. We hold and manage substantially all of these investments in our wholly-owned subsidiaries, SAIC Venture Capital Corporation and Telcordia Venture Capital Corporation.

        We own 55% of AMSEC LLC, a joint venture that provides maintenance engineering and technical support services to the U.S. Navy and marine industry customers. We also hold 60% of the common stock of a joint venture, Informática, Negocios y Tecnología, S.A., which we call "INTESA." As of January 31, 2003, the operations of our INTESA joint venture have been classified as discontinued operations and are no longer reflected in operating income. For further discussion of our participation in INTESA, see "Management Discussion & Analysis—Commitments and Contingencies;" "Legal Proceedings—INTESA;" and Note 22 of the notes to the consolidated financial statements on page F-42 of this Form 10-K.

        We were originally incorporated as a California corporation in 1969 and re-incorporated as a Delaware corporation in 1984. Our principal office and corporate headquarters are located in San Diego, California at 10260 Campus Point Drive, San Diego, California 92121 and our telephone number is (858) 826-6000. All references to "we," "us," or "our" include, unless the context indicates otherwise, our predecessor.

Resources

        The technical services and products that we provide utilize a wide variety of resources. We can obtain a substantial portion of the computers and other equipment, materials and subcontracted work that we require from more than one supplier. However, with respect to certain products and programs, we depend on a particular source or vendor. While a temporary or permanent disruption in the supply of these materials or services could cause inconvenience or delay or impact the profitability of any affected program or product, we believe it would not have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations.

        The availability of skilled employees who have the necessary education and/or experience in specialized scientific and technological disciplines remains critical to our future growth and profitability. Because of our growth and the competition for experienced personnel, it has become more difficult to meet all of our needs for these employees in a timely manner. However, these difficulties have not had a significant impact on us to date. We intend to continue to devote significant resources to recruit and retain qualified employees. We also maintain a variety of benefit programs for our employees, including retirement and bonus plans, group life, health, accident and disability insurance as well as the opportunity to participate in employee ownership. See "Business—Employees and Consultants" and "Market for Registrant's Common Equity and Related Stockholder Matters—The Limited Market."

Marketing

        Our marketing activities in the Regulated, Non-Regulated Telecommunications and Non-Regulated Other segments are focused on key vertical markets and are primarily conducted by our own professional staff of engineers, scientists, analysts and other personnel. Our marketing approach for our technical services begins with the development of information concerning the requirements of our government, commercial and other potential customers for the types of technical services that we provide. This information is gathered in the course of contract performance, reviewing requests for competitive bids, formal briefings, participation in professional organizations and published literature. This information is then evaluated and exchanged among our internal marketing groups (organized along functional, geographic and other lines) in order to devise and implement, subject to management review and approval, the best means of taking advantage of available business opportunities, including

4



the preparation of proposals responsive to the stated and perceived needs of customers. Our products may be marketed with the assistance of independent sales representatives.

Competition

        Our business is highly competitive, particularly in the business areas of telecommunications and information technology outsourcing in both the Non-Regulated Telecommunications and the Non-Regulated Other segments. We have a large number of competitors, some of which have been established longer and have substantially greater financial resources and larger technical staffs. We also compete with smaller, more specialized entities that are able to concentrate their resources on particular areas. In the Regulated segment, we also compete with the U.S. Government's own in-house capabilities and federal non-profit contract research centers.

        We compete on the basis of technical expertise, management and marketing abilities and price. Our continued success is dependent upon our ability to hire and retain highly qualified scientists, engineers, technicians, management and professional personnel who will provide superior service and performance on a cost-effective basis.

Significant Customers

        During fiscal years 2004, 2003 and 2002, approximately 91%, 92% and 88%, respectively, of the revenues in the Regulated segment were attributable to prime contracts directly with a number of departments and agencies of the U.S. Government or to subcontracts with other contractors engaged in work for the U.S. Government. Revenues from the U.S. Army represented 12% and 11% of consolidated revenues in 2004 and 2003, respectively. Revenues from the U.S. Navy represented 11% and 10% of consolidated revenues in 2004 and 2003, respectively. No other customer or single contract accounted for 10% or more of consolidated revenues in fiscal years 2004, 2003 and 2002.

        Telcordia historically has derived a majority of its revenues from the regional Bell operating companies, which we call "RBOCs." The percentage of the revenues in the Non-Regulated Telecommunications segment from the RBOCs was 65% in fiscal year 2004, 2003 and 2002. No single RBOC accounted for 10% or more of consolidated revenues in fiscal years 2004, 2003 and 2002.

Government Contracts

        The U.S. Government is our primary customer in the Regulated segment. Many of the U.S. Government programs in which we participate as a contractor or subcontractor may extend for several years; however, such programs are normally funded on an annual basis. All U.S. Government contracts and subcontracts may be modified, curtailed or terminated at the convenience of the government if program requirements or budgetary constraints change. If a contract is terminated for convenience, we are generally reimbursed for our allowable costs through the date of termination and are paid a proportionate amount of the stipulated profit or fee attributable to the work actually performed. Although contract and program modifications, curtailments or terminations have not had a material adverse effect on us in the past, no assurance can be given that such modifications, curtailments or terminations will not have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations in the future.

        In addition, the U.S. Government may terminate a contract for default. Although the U.S. Government has never terminated any of our contracts for default, such a termination could have a significant impact on our business. If a contract is terminated for default, we may be unable to recover amounts billed or billable under the contract and may be liable for other costs and damages.

        Contract costs for services or products supplied to the U.S. Government, including allocated indirect costs, are subject to audit and adjustments as a result of negotiations between U.S.

5



Government representatives and us. Substantially all of our indirect contract costs have been agreed upon through fiscal year 2002 and are not subject to further adjustment. Contract revenues for fiscal years 2003 and 2004 have been recorded in amounts which are expected to be realized upon final settlement with the U.S. Government. However, audits and adjustments for fiscal years 2003 and 2004 may result in decreased revenues or profits for those years.

Contract Type

        Our business with the U.S. Government and other customers is generally performed under cost-reimbursement, target cost and fee with risk sharing, time-and-materials, fixed-price level-of-effort or firm fixed-price contracts. Under cost-reimbursement contracts, the customers reimburse us for our direct costs and allocable indirect costs, plus a fixed fee or incentive fee. Under target cost and fee with risk sharing contracts, the customers reimburse our costs plus a specified or target fee or profit, if our actual costs equal a negotiated target cost. If actual costs fall below the target cost, we receive a portion of the cost underrun as additional fee or profit. If actual costs exceed the target cost, our target fee and cost reimbursement are reduced by a portion of the overrun. Under time-and-materials contracts, we are paid for labor hours at negotiated, fixed hourly rates and reimbursed for other allowable direct costs at actual costs plus allocable indirect costs. Under fixed-price level-of-effort contracts, the customer pays us for the actual labor hours provided to the customer at negotiated hourly rates up to a fixed ceiling. Under firm fixed-price contracts, we are required to provide stipulated products or services for a fixed price. Because we assume the risk of performing a firm fixed-price contract at a set price, the failure to accurately estimate ultimate costs or to control costs during contract performance could result, and in some instances has resulted, in reduced profits or losses for particular contracts.

        In recent years, the U.S. Government has increasingly used a contracting process called Indefinite Delivery, Indefinite Quantity contracts, known as IDIQ contracts, to obtain contractual commitments from contractors to provide certain products or services at established general terms and conditions. We may compete with multiple contractors for a single IDIQ contract award or in some cases, a single procurement may result in IDIQ contract awards to multiple contractors. At the time of the award of the IDIQ contract, the U.S. Government generally commits to purchase only a minimum amount of products or services from the contractor to whom the IDIQ contract was awarded. After award of the IDIQ contract, the U.S. Government may issue task orders for specific services or products it needs. The contractor provides such products or services in accordance with the pre-established terms and conditions. IDIQ contracts frequently have multi-year terms and unfunded ceiling amounts which enable, but do not commit, the U.S. Government to purchase substantial amounts of products and services from the contractor. The U.S. Government's use of IDIQ contracts makes it more difficult for a contractor to estimate the actual value of products or services to be ultimately awarded under a given contract.

        Any costs that we incur on projects for which we have been requested by the customer to begin work under a new contract or extend work under an existing contract, and for which formal contracts or contract modifications have not been executed are incurred at our risk, and it is possible that the customer will not reimburse us for these pre-contract costs.

        Pre-contract costs at January 31, 2004 and 2003 were as follows:

 
  January 31
 
  2004
  2003
 
  (In millions)

Regulated segment   $ 41   $ 49
Non-Regulated Telecommunications segment     1     1
Non-Regulated Other segment     4      
   
 
    $ 46   $ 50
   
 

        We expect to recover substantially all of these costs; however, no assurance can be given that the contracts or contract amendments will be executed or that we will recover the related costs.

Research and Development

        We conduct research and development activities under customer funded contracts and with independent research and development (IR&D) funds. IR&D efforts consist of projects involving basic research, applied research, development, and systems and other concept formulation studies. In fiscal year 2004, we spent approximately $82 million on IR&D, which was included in selling, general and administrative expenses. We spent $86 million and $118 million on such activities in 2003 and 2002, respectively.

Patents and Proprietary Information

        Other than with respect to Telcordia, our technical services and products are not generally dependent upon patent protection. We claim a proprietary interest in certain of our products, software programs, methodology and know-how. This proprietary information is protected by copyrights, trade secrets, licenses, contracts and other means.

        In the Non-Regulated Telecommunications segment, Telcordia's patent portfolio consists of more than 900 U.S. and foreign patents. More than 100 of these patents have been licensed to organizations worldwide. Telcordia has been granted patents across a wide range of disciplines, including telecommunications transmission, services and operations, optical networking, switching, wireless communications, protocols, architecture and coding. Along with Telcordia, we actively pursue opportunities to license our technologies to third parties and enforce our patent rights. We also evaluate potential spin-offs of our technologies.

        In connection with the performance of services for customers in the Regulated segment, the U.S. Government has certain rights to data, computer codes and related material that we develop under U.S. Government-funded contracts and subcontracts. Generally, the U.S. Government may disclose such information to third parties, including, in some instances, competitors. In the case of subcontracts, the prime contractor may also have certain rights to the programs and products that we develop under the subcontract.

Backlog

        Backlog includes only the funded dollar amount of contracts in process and does not include the dollar amount of projects for which we have been given permission by the customer (i) to begin work but for which a formal contract has not yet been entered into or (ii) to extend work under an existing contract prior to the formal amendment or modification of the existing contract. In these cases, either contract negotiations have not been completed or a contract or contract amendment has not been executed. When a contract or contract amendment is executed, the backlog will be increased by the difference between the dollar value of the contract or contract amendment and the revenue recognized to date. We expect that a substantial portion of our backlog at January 31, 2004 will be recognized as revenues prior to January 31, 2005. Some contracts associated with the backlog are incrementally funded and may continue for more than one year.

        The approximate amount of backlog at January 31, 2004 and 2003 was as follows:

 
  January 31
 
  2004
  2003
 
  (In millions)

Regulated segment   $ 3,127   $ 2,499
Non-Regulated Telecommunications segment     965     921
Non-Regulated Other segment     228     232
   
 
    $ 4,320   $ 3,652
   
 

Employees and Consultants

        As of January 31, 2004, we employed approximately 42,700 full and part time employees. We also use consultants to provide specialized technical and other services on specific projects. To date, we have not experienced any strikes or work stoppages and we consider our relations with our employees to be good.

        The highly technical and complex services and products provided by us are dependent upon the availability of professional, administrative and technical personnel having high levels of training and

8



skills. Because of our growth and competition for experienced personnel, it has become more difficult to meet all of our needs for these employees in a timely manner. However, such difficulties have not had a significant impact on us to date. We intend to continue to devote significant resources to recruit and retain qualified employees. Management believes that our employee ownership programs and philosophy are major factors in our ability to attract and retain qualified personnel.

RISK FACTORS

        You should carefully consider the risks and uncertainties described below in your evaluation of our business and us. These are not the only risks and uncertainties that we face. If any of these risks or uncertainties actually occur, our business, financial condition or operating results could be materially harmed and the price of our common stock could decline.

Risks Relating to Our Business

A substantial percentage of our revenue is from U.S. Government customers and the regional Bell operating companies

        We derive a substantial portion of our revenues from the U.S. Government as a prime contractor or a subcontractor. The percentage of total revenues from the U.S. Government was 74% in fiscal year 2004, 69% in fiscal year 2003 and 61% in fiscal year 2002. In addition, revenues from the U.S. Army represented 12% of consolidated revenues in fiscal year 2004 and 11% of consolidated revenues in fiscal year 2003. Revenues from the U.S. Navy represented 11% of consolidated revenues in fiscal year 2004 and 10% of consolidated revenues in fiscal year 2003. Our revenues could be adversely impacted by a reduction in the overall level of U.S. Government spending and by changes in its spending priorities from year to year. Furthermore, even if the overall level of U.S. Government spending does increase or remains stable, the budgets of the government agencies with whom we do business may be decreased or our projects with them may not be sufficiently funded, particularly because Congress usually appropriates funds for a given project on a fiscal-year basis even though contract performance may take more than one year. In addition, obtaining U.S. Government contracts remains a highly competitive process and this has led to a greater portion of our revenue base being associated with contracts providing for a lower amount of reimbursable cost than we have traditionally been able to recover.

        Telcordia historically has derived a majority of its revenues from the RBOCs. The percentage of total Telcordia revenues from the RBOCs was 65% in fiscal year 2004, 2003 and 2002. With the continuing economic challenges in the telecommunications industry, Telcordia's business is more dependent on its business from the RBOCs and it continues efforts to diversify its business by obtaining new customers. As a result of the changes and continuing challenges in the marketplace, Telcordia's customers, particularly the RBOCs, continue to reduce their contract spending and place pressure on Telcordia to reduce prices and accept less favorable terms on existing and future contracts. Telcordia continues to seek opportunities for growth through the introduction of new products and diversification into new markets and with new customers. A continued weakness in the telecommunications industry and loss of business from the RBOCs or other commercial customers could further reduce revenues and have an adverse impact on our business.

        We are heavily dependent upon the U.S. Government as our primary customer and the RBOCs as a major source of Telcordia's revenues. Our future success and revenue growth will depend in part upon our ability to continue to expand our customer base.

If we fail to control fixed-price or target cost and fee with risk sharing contracts, it may result in reduced profits or losses

        The percentage of our Regulated segment revenues from firm fixed-price contracts was 15% for fiscal year 2004, 15% for fiscal year 2003 and 16% for fiscal year 2002. The percentage of our Non-Regulated Telecommunications segment revenues from firm fixed-price contracts was 85% for fiscal year 2004, 82% for fiscal year 2003 and 82% for fiscal year 2002. Because we assume the risk of performing a firm fixed-price contract at a set price, the failure to accurately estimate ultimate costs or to control costs during performance of the work could result, and in some instances has resulted, in reduced profits or losses for such contracts.

10



        Many of our customers in the information technology outsourcing business contract on the basis of target cost and fee with risk sharing. During fiscal years 2004, 2003 and 2002, approximately 33%, 56% and 46%, respectively, of the Non-Regulated Other segment revenues were derived from target cost and fee with risk sharing contracts. Under target cost and fee with risk sharing contracts, the customers reimburse our costs plus a specified or target fee or profit; however, if our actual costs exceed the target cost, our target fee and cost reimbursement are reduced by a portion of the overrun. Failure to control costs during performance of the work could result in reduced profits for such contracts.

Our business could suffer if we lose the services of key personnel

        Our success to date has resulted in part from the significant contributions of our executive officers. From the time he founded the company in 1969, Dr. J.R. Beyster was our only chief executive officer and chairman of the board. As a result of the succession plan adopted by the board of directors in April 2003, Kenneth C. Dahlberg became our chief executive officer and president in November 2003. Our executive officers are expected to continue to make important contributions to our success. The loss of our key personnel could materially affect our operations.

We face risks relating to Government contracts

        The Government may modify, curtail or terminate our contracts.    Many of the U.S. Government programs in which we participate as a contractor or subcontractor may extend for several years; however, these programs are normally funded on an annual basis. The U.S. Government may modify, curtail or terminate its contracts and subcontracts at its convenience. Modification, curtailment or termination of our major programs or contracts could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.

        Our business is subject to potential Government inquiries and investigations.    We are from time to time subject to certain U.S. Government inquiries and investigations of our business practices due to our participation in government contracts. We cannot assure you that any such inquiry or investigation will not have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.

        Our contract costs are subject to audits by Government agencies.    The costs we incur on our U.S. Government contracts, including allocated indirect costs, may be audited by U.S. Government representatives. These audits may result in adjustments to our contract costs. We normally negotiate with the U.S. Government representatives before settling on final adjustments to our contract costs. Substantially all of our indirect contract costs have been agreed upon through fiscal year 2002 and are not subject to further adjustment. We have recorded contract revenues in fiscal years 2003 and 2004 based upon costs we expect to realize upon final audit. However, we do not know the outcome of any future audits and adjustments and we may be required to reduce our revenues or profits upon completion and final negotiation of these audits.

If we fail to recover pre-contract costs, it may result in reduced profits or losses

        Any costs that we incur on projects for which we have been requested by the customer to begin work under a new contract or extend work under an existing contract and for which formal contracts or contract modifications have not been executed are incurred at our risk, and it is possible that the customer will not reimburse us for these pre-contract costs. At January 31, 2004, we had pre-contract costs of $41 million in the Regulated segment, $1 million in the Non-Regulated Telecommunications segment and $4 million in the Non-Regulated Other segment. We cannot assure you that contracts or contract amendments will be executed or that we will recover the related costs.

11



If we fail to execute our acquisitions or investments, our business could suffer

        We have historically supplemented our internal growth through acquisitions, investments or joint ventures. We evaluate potential acquisitions, investments and joint ventures on an ongoing basis. Our acquisitions and investments pose many risks, including:

    We may not be able to compete successfully for available acquisition candidates, complete future acquisitions and investments or accurately estimate their financial effect on our business

    Future acquisitions, investments and joint ventures may require us to issue additional common stock, spend significant cash amounts or decrease our operating income

    We may have trouble integrating the acquired business and retaining its personnel

    Acquisitions, investments or joint ventures may disrupt our business and distract our management from other responsibilities

    If our acquisitions or investments fail, our business could be harmed

Unsuccessful resolution of the Telkom South Africa Arbitration could harm our business

        Our Telcordia subsidiary initiated arbitration proceedings against Telkom South Africa as a result of a contract dispute. Telcordia is seeking to recover damages of approximately $130 million, plus interest at a rate of 15.5%. Telkom South Africa counterclaimed, seeking substantial damages from Telcordia, including repayment of approximately $97 million previously paid to Telcordia under the contract and the excess costs of reprocuring a replacement system, estimated by Telkom South Africa to be $234 million. In a Partial Award dated as of September 27, 2002, the arbitrator dismissed the counterclaims of Telkom South Africa and found that Telkom South Africa repudiated the contract. Telcordia initiated proceedings in the U.S. to confirm the Partial Award. The U.S. Court dismissed the action for lack of jurisdiction over Telkom South Africa. Telcordia has appealed this ruling and a hearing before the U.S. Court of Appeals was held on April 1, 2004. In another set of proceedings, Telkom South Africa requested that the South African High Court set aside the Partial Award, dismiss the Arbitrator and the International Court of Arbitration, and submit the dispute to a new arbitration panel in South Africa. On November 27, 2003, the South African High Court granted the relief requested by Telkom South Africa and ordered Telcordia to pay Telkom South Africa's legal costs for the High Court action. Telcordia filed a notice of appeal with the South African Supreme Court of Appeal of the South African High Court's decision. A hearing on Telcordia's application is scheduled for April 28, 2004. Due to the complex nature of the legal and factual issues involved and the uncertainty of litigation in general, the outcome of the arbitration and the related court actions are not presently determinable; however, an adverse resolution could materially harm our business, consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows. Protracted litigation, regardless of outcome, could result in substantial costs and divert management's attention and company resources. For more discussion of this dispute, see "Legal Proceedings—Telkom South Africa" and Note 22 of the notes to the consolidated financial statements on page F-42 of this Form 10-K.

We face risks associated with our international business

        Our international business operations are subject to a variety of the risks associated with conducting business internationally. These risks include:

    unexpected changes in regulatory requirements

    tariffs

    political and economic changes or instability

    unfamiliar and unknown business practices and customs

12


    restrictive trade policies

    inconsistent product regulation

    complying with a variety of laws

    licensing requirements

        We do not know the impact that these regulatory, geopolitical and other factors may have on our business in the future.

        We have a firm fixed-price contract that was awarded by the Greek government to provide components of the security infrastructure that will be used in support of the 2004 Athens Summer Olympic Games. Due to the high profile of the Olympic Games, the current world environment and the focus on potential security incidents, our performance under this contract is subject to heightened media attention. Therefore, in addition to the risks generally associated with performing a firm fixed-price contract in a foreign country, the occurrence of any adverse situation relating to the security of the Olympic Games generally or to our performance on this contract, even indirectly, could result in increased costs and our receiving negative publicity. Such negative publicity could damage our reputation and adversely affect our ability to attract or retain customers. See—"If we fail to control fixed-price or target cost and fee with risk sharing contracts, it may result in reduced profits or losses."

        We currently have certain contracts with the U.S. Government that involve the support of the Iraqi reconstruction efforts. In addition to the risks inherent in performing on U.S. Government contracts, conducting business operations in a country experiencing military conflict and other hostile situations, and without an established legal or business infrastructure, could result in the delay of project schedules, threaten the health and safety of our employees and increase our cost of operations. Government contractors operating in Iraq are receiving increased media, legislative and regulatory attention regarding their work in Iraq. Our activities in Iraq could result in negative publicity, which could have an adverse impact on our business. Additionally, should we choose to reduce or discontinue our level of activity in Iraq as a result of these risks, we could lose future potential revenues. See—"We face risks relating to Government contracts."

        We have transactions denominated in foreign currencies because some of our business is conducted outside of the United States. In addition, our foreign subsidiaries generally conduct business in foreign currencies. We are exposed to fluctuations in exchange rates, which could result in losses and have a significant impact on our results of operations. Our risks include the possibility of significant changes in exchange rates and the imposition or modification of foreign exchange controls by either the U.S. or applicable foreign governments. We have no control over the factors that generally affect these risks, such as economic, financial and political events and the supply and demand for the applicable currencies. We may use foreign currency forward exchange contracts to hedge against movements in exchange rates for contracts denominated in foreign currencies. We cannot assure you that a significant fluctuation in exchange rates will not have a significant negative impact on our results of operations.

Unsuccessful resolution of the dispute with PDVSA regarding INTESA could harm our business

        We own a 60% interest in INTESA, a Venezuelan joint venture. An unstable political and economic environment in Venezuela, including a general work stoppage from approximately December 2002 to March 2003 affected the petroleum sector, including INTESA and Petróleos de Venezuela, S.A., which we call "PDVSA," Venezuela's national oil company and the other joint venture partner. We had previously consolidated our 60% interest in the joint venture, but the operations of INTESA were classified as discontinued operations as of January 31, 2003 and INTESA is currently insolvent. Due to the suspension of operations and our relationship with PDVSA, the operations of the joint venture are not expected to resume. We have strongly recommended that INTESA file for bankruptcy as required under Venezuelan law, but PDVSA has refused to support such a filing.

13



INTESA had derived substantially all its revenues from an outsourcing services agreement with PDVSA. In January 1997 when the joint venture was formed, we guaranteed INTESA's obligations under the services agreement to PDVSA. The services agreement expired on June 30, 2002 and the parties were not able to reach agreement on a renewal. The Venezuelan Supreme Court has granted PDVSA's request for injunctive relief against INTESA on the basis of public interest of Venezuela, which obligates INTESA to transfer to PDVSA all the information technology and equipment that corresponds to PDVSA. PDVSA has taken certain actions, including denying INTESA access to certain of its facilities and assets, which we believe constitutes expropriation without compensation. On September 4, 2003, we filed a claim of approximately $10 million with the Overseas Protection Insurance Company, a U.S. governmental entity that provides insurance coverage against expropriation of U.S. business interests by foreign governments and instrumentalities ("OPIC"), on the basis that PDVSA and the Venezuelan government's conduct constituted the expropriation of our investment in INTESA without compensation. On February 24, 2004, OPIC made a finding that expropriation had occurred, but the value of our recovery has not been determined. Many issues relating to INTESA, including the termination of the services agreement, the amount we will receive based on our OPIC claim, and the proposal for INTESA to file bankruptcy, remain unresolved. In addition, the Attorney General of Venezuela initiated a criminal investigation of INTESA alleging unspecified sabotage by INTESA employees. The SENIAT, the Venezuelan tax authority, has also filed a claim against INTESA for approximately $30 million for alleged non-payment of VAT taxes in 1998. In addition, SAIC Bermuda, in its capacity as shareholder, has been added at the request of PDVSA to a number of suits by INTESA employees claiming unpaid pension benefits. SAIC's Venezuelan counsel advises that we do not have any legal obligation for these claims but given the unsettled and political nature of the Venezuelan environment, their outcome is uncertain. Due to the complex nature of the legal and factual issues involved in these matters and the uncertain economic and political environment in Venezuela, the outcome is not presently determinable; however, adverse resolutions could materially harm our business, consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows. For further discussion of our participation in INTESA, see "Management Discussion & Analysis—Commitments and Contingencies;" "Legal Proceedings—INTESA;" and Note 22 of the notes to the consolidated financial statements on page F-42 of this Form 10-K.

Unfavorable economic conditions could harm our business

        Our business, financial condition and results of operations may be affected by various economic factors. Unfavorable economic conditions may make it more difficult for us to maintain and continue our revenue growth. In an economic recession or under other adverse economic conditions, customers and vendors may be more likely to be unable to meet contractual terms or their payment obligations. A decline in economic conditions may have a material adverse effect on our business.

Risks Relating to Our Industry

Our business could suffer if we fail to attract, train and retain skilled employees

        The availability of highly trained and skilled professional, administrative and technical personnel is critical to our future growth and profitability. Competition for scientists, engineers, technicians, management and professional personnel is intense and competitors aggressively recruit key employees. Because of our growth and competition for experienced personnel, particularly in highly specialized areas, it has become more difficult to meet all of our needs for these employees in a timely manner. We intend to continue to devote significant resources to recruit, train and retain qualified employees; however, we cannot assure you that we will be able to attract and retain such employees on acceptable terms. Any failure to do so could have a material adverse effect on our operations.

14



Our failure to remain competitive could harm our business

        Our business is highly competitive, particularly in the business areas of telecommunications and information technology outsourcing in both our Non-Regulated Telecommunications and our Non-Regulated Other segments. We compete with larger companies that have greater name recognition, financial resources and larger technical staffs. We also compete with smaller, more specialized entities who are able to concentrate their resources on particular areas. In the Regulated segment, we also compete with the U.S. Government's own in-house capabilities and federal non-profit contract research centers. To remain competitive, we must provide superior service and performance on a cost-effective basis to our customers. Effective February 1, 2004, we modified our organizational structure to help improve our competitiveness by better aligning our business units with our major customers and key markets. There can be no assurance that this realignment effort will produce the desired results.

Risks Relating to Our Stock

Because no public market exists for our stock, the ability of stockholders to sell their SAIC stock is limited

        There is no public market for our common stock. The limited market maintained by our wholly owned broker-dealer subsidiary, Bull, Inc., permits existing stockholders to offer our Class A stock for sale only on predetermined trade dates and only at the price determined by the board of directors. Generally, there are four trade dates each year, however, a scheduled trade date could be postponed or cancelled. In fact, the trade originally scheduled for July 26, 2002 was postponed to August 16, 2002 in order to establish a new stock price after it was determined that the stock price set by the board of directors on July 12, 2002 no longer represented a fair market value.

If a trade in the limited market is undersubscribed, our stockholders may not be able to sell all the shares they desire to sell

        If the number of shares offered for sale by stockholders exceeds the number of shares sought to be purchased by authorized buyers in any trade, our stockholders who requested to sell shares may not be able to sell all such shares in that trade. The number of shares we may purchase in the limited market on any given trade date is subject to legal and contractual restrictions. Under Delaware law, we may repurchase our shares only out of available surplus. In addition, financial covenants under our credit agreement or agreements we enter into in the future may restrict our ability to repurchase shares. Subject to these legal and contractual restrictions, we are currently authorized, but not obligated to purchase shares of Class A common stock in the limited market on any trade date. In deciding whether to make such purchases, we will consider a variety of factors, including our cash position and cash flows, investment and capital activities, financial performance, financial covenants, the number of shares outstanding and the amount of the undersubscription in the limited market. The final determination is not made before the trade date. We have purchased a significant amount of Class A common stock in the limited market during recent periods. We purchased a total of 6,824,113 shares on the trade dates in fiscal year 2004 and a total of 16,238,751 shares on the trade dates in fiscal year 2003. These purchases accounted for 65.5% and 84.5%, respectively, of the total shares purchased by all buyers in the limited market during fiscal years 2004 and 2003. Our purchases balanced the number of shares offered for sale by stockholders with the number of shares sought to be purchased by authorized buyers. We cannot assure you that we will continue to purchase such excess shares in the future. Accordingly, if the aggregate number of shares offered for sale exceeds the aggregate number of shares sought to be purchased by authorized buyers, and we elect not to participate in a trade or otherwise limit our participation in a trade, our stockholders may be unable to sell all the shares they desire to sell in the limited market. Because no other market exists for our stock, our stockholders may be unable to sell all the shares they desire to sell.

15



        During the 2004 and 2003 fiscal years, the trustees of certain of our retirement and benefit plans purchased an aggregate of 2,351,031 and 1,998,956 shares, respectively, in the limited market. These purchases accounted for approximately 22.6% and 10.4% of the total shares purchased by all buyers in the limited market during fiscal years 2004 and 2003, respectively. Such purchases may change in the future, depending on the levels of participation in and contributions to such plans and the extent to which such contributions are invested in Class A common stock. In addition, the trustees of our retirement plans are not permitted to purchase shares of our Class A common stock in the limited market unless the stock price established by the board of directors is determined in good faith by the plan fiduciaries, in reliance on an appraisal by an independent appraiser, to be the fair market value of the shares.

        To the extent that purchases by the trustees of our retirement and benefit plans decrease, and purchases by us decrease or do not increase, the ability of stockholders to resell their shares in the limited market will likely be adversely affected. Although all shares of Class A common stock offered for sale were sold in the limited market on each trade date occurring during fiscal years 2004 and 2003, we cannot assure you that a stockholder desiring to sell all or a portion of his or her shares of our Class A common stock on any trade date will be able to do so.

Our stock price may be impacted by the lack of liquidity provided by the limited market

        The stock price may be impacted by the liquidity provided to our stockholders by the limited market. In its valuation of our stock, Houlihan Lokey Howard & Zukin Financial Advisors, Inc., our independent appraiser, considers, among other factors, the limited market trade imbalances, our inability to guarantee 100% liquidity in the limited market trades, regardless of the amount of the undersubscription, and the degree of liquidity actually provided to stockholders by the limited market. Based upon its judgment, the appraiser may apply, and from time to time has applied, a liquidity discount in its valuation of our stock. As a result, the stock price, as set by the board of directors, may be adversely impacted by a decrease in the liquidity of our stock in the limited market, particularly if we elect not to purchase shares in the limited market to fully balance an undersubscribed trade.

The ability of stockholders to sell or transfer their common stock outside the limited market is restricted

        Our certificate of incorporation limits our stockholders' ability to sell or transfer shares of Class A common stock in some circumstances. These restrictions include:

    our right of first refusal to purchase shares a stockholder offers to sell to a third party other than in our limited market

    our right to repurchase shares upon the termination of a stockholder's employment or affiliation with us

        We may, but are not obligated to defer our repurchase rights with respect to those employees who qualify for our Alumni Program or Former Employee Program.

Our stock price and the price at which all trades in the limited market occur is determined by our board of directors and is not established by market forces

        Our stock price is not determined by a trading market of bargaining buyers and sellers. Our board of directors, all of whom are stockholders, determines the price at which the Class A common stock trades by using the valuation process that includes input from an independent appraiser and a stock price formula as described under "Price Determination of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock." The stock price remains in effect until subsequently changed. The board of directors reviews the stock price during the period between a quarterly board meeting and the trade date to determine whether the stock price continues to represent a fair market value, and if necessary, modifies

16



the price. The board of directors has authorized its stock policy committee to conduct this review and, in some quarters, the stock policy committee has conducted this review. If a stock price modification is necessary, the stock policy committee or board of directors would apply the same valuation process used by the board of directors at a quarterly board meeting. The stock policy committee modified the stock price on July 29, 2002 after it was determined that the stock price established by the board of directors on July 12, 2002 no longer represented a fair market value. All trades in the limited market will occur at the stock price determined by the board of directors or its stock policy committee. Our board of directors believes the stock price represents a fair market value; however, we cannot assure you that the stock price represents the value that would be obtained if our stock were publicly traded. The formula, which is one part of the valuation process, does not specifically include variables reflecting all financial and valuation criteria that may be relevant. In addition, our board of directors generally has broad discretion to modify the formula. Absent changes in the market factor used in the formula, which may change from quarter to quarter as appropriate to reflect changing business, financial and market conditions, and accounting and other impacts unrelated to our value, the mechanical application of the formula tends to reduce the impact of quarterly fluctuations in our operating results on the stock price because the formula takes into account our segment operating income for the four fiscal quarters immediately preceding the price determination.

Future returns on our common stock may be significantly lower than historical returns

        We cannot assure you that the Class A common stock will provide returns in the future comparable to those achieved historically or that the price will not decline. In fact, the price declined 13.2% during fiscal year 2003.

Changes in our business and the volatility of the market value of our comparable companies may increase the volatility of the stock price

        The stock price could be subject to fluctuations in the future. This volatility may result from the impact on our stock price of:

    the mix of our commercial and international business as a proportion of our overall business and the volatility associated with companies in those business areas

    the impact of acquisitions, investments, joint ventures and divestitures that we may undertake

    the impact of the volatility of the market value of comparable public companies that are considered in our valuation process and any publicly traded securities we may own

Restrictions in our certificate of incorporation and bylaws may discourage takeover attempts that you might find attractive

        Our certificate of incorporation and bylaws may discourage or prevent attempts to acquire control of us that are not approved by our board of directors, including transactions in which stockholders might receive a premium for their shares above the stock price. Our stockholders may view such a takeover attempt favorably. In addition, the restrictions may make it more difficult for our stockholders to elect directors not endorsed by us.

Forward-Looking Statement Risks

You may not be able to rely on forward-looking statements

        The information contained in this report or in documents that we incorporate by reference or in statements made by our management includes some forward-looking statements that involve a number of risks and uncertainties. A number of factors, including but not limited to those outlined in the Risk Factors, could cause our actual results, performance, achievements, or industry results to be very

17



different from the results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements.

Item 2. Properties

        As of January 31, 2004, we conducted our operations in more than 400 offices located in 42 states, the District of Columbia and various foreign countries. We occupy a total of approximately 10,300,000 square feet of space. Of this total, we own approximately 3,500,000 square feet, and the balance is leased. Our major locations are in the San Diego, California, Washington, D.C. and Piscataway, New Jersey metropolitan areas, where we occupy approximately 1,200,000 square feet, 2,600,000 square feet and 1,100,000 square feet of space, respectively.

        We own and occupy the following properties:

    San Diego metropolitan area

    At our primary campus location in San Diego, California, seven buildings totaling approximately 677,000 square feet of space situated on 22.2 acres of land

    Washington, D.C. metropolitan area

    At our McLean, Virginia campus location, four buildings totaling approximately 900,000 square feet situated on 18.3 acres of land

    In Vienna, Virginia, three buildings totaling approximately 330,000 square feet of space on 33.74 acres of land

    In Reston, Virginia, a 62,000 square foot building on 2.6 acres of land

    Piscataway, New Jersey metropolitan area

    At our Piscataway, New Jersey campus, six buildings totaling approximately 882,000 square feet of space, located on 93 acres of land, and we own an additional 28 acres of vacant land

    Other areas

    In Orlando, Florida, an 85,000 square foot building on 17.99 acres of land

    In Oak Ridge, Tennessee, an 83,000 square foot building on approximately 8.4 acres of land, and we own an additional 4.07 acres of land

    In Dayton, Ohio, two buildings totaling 79,400 square feet on 4.5 acres of land

18


        The nature of our business is such that there is no practicable way to relate occupied space to industry segments. We consider our facilities suitable and adequate for our present needs. See Note 16 of the notes to consolidated financial statements on page F-38 of this Form 10-K for information regarding commitments under leases.


Item 3. Legal Proceedings

        Telkom South Africa.    As previously disclosed in our filings with the SEC, our Telcordia subsidiary initiated arbitration proceedings against Telkom South Africa as a result of a contract dispute. Telcordia is seeking to recover damages of approximately $130 million, plus interest at a rate of 15.5%. Telkom South Africa counterclaimed, seeking substantial damages from Telcordia, including repayment of approximately $97 million previously paid to Telcordia under the contract and the excess costs of reprocuring a replacement system, estimated by Telkom South Africa to be $234 million. In a Partial Award dated as of September 27, 2002, the arbitrator dismissed the counterclaims of Telkom South Africa and found that Telkom South Africa repudiated the contract. Telcordia initiated proceedings in the U.S. to confirm the Partial Award. The U.S. Court dismissed the action for lack of jurisdiction over Telkom South Africa. Telcordia has appealed this ruling and a hearing before the U.S. Court of Appeals was held on April 1, 2004. In another set of proceedings, Telkom South Africa requested that the South African High Court set aside the Partial Award, dismiss the Arbitrator and the International Court of Arbitration, and submit the dispute to a new arbitration panel in South Africa. On November 27, 2003, the South African High Court granted the relief requested by Telkom South Africa and ordered Telcordia to pay Telkom South Africa's legal costs for the High Court action. Telcordia filed a notice of appeal with the South African Supreme Court of Appeal of the South African High Court's decision. A hearing on Telcordia's application is scheduled for April 28, 2004. Due to the complex nature of the legal and factual issues involved and the uncertainty of litigation in general, the outcome of the arbitration and the related court actions are not presently determinable; however an adverse resolution could materially harm our business, consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows. Protracted litigation, regardless of outcome, could result in substantial costs and divert management's attention and resources.

        INTESA.    INTESA, a foreign joint venture we formed in 1997 with Venezuela's national oil company, PDVSA, to provide information technology services in Latin America, is involved in various legal proceedings. The Venezuelan Supreme Court has granted PDVSA's request for injunctive relief against INTESA on the basis of public interest of Venezuela, which obligates INTESA to transfer to PDVSA all the information technology and equipment that corresponds to PDVSA. PDVSA has taken certain actions, including denying INTESA access to certain of its facilities and assets, which we believe constitutes expropriation without compensation. On September 4, 2003, we filed a claim of approximately $10 million with the Overseas Protection Insurance Company, a U.S. governmental entity that provides insurance coverage against expropriation of U.S. business interests by foreign governments and instrumentalities ("OPIC"), on the basis that PDVSA and the Venezuelan government's conduct constituted the expropriation of our investment in INTESA without compensation. On February 24, 2004, OPIC made a finding that expropriation had occurred, but the value of our claim has not been finalized. In addition, the Attorney General of Venezuela initiated a criminal investigation of INTESA alleging unspecified sabotage by INTESA employees. The SENIAT, the Venezuelan tax authority, has also filed a claim against INTESA for approximately $30 million for alleged non-payment of VAT taxes in 1998. In addition, SAIC Bermuda, in its capacity as shareholder, has been added at the request of PDVSA to a number of suits by INTESA employees claiming unpaid pension benefits. Our Venezuelan counsel advises that we do not have any legal obligation for these claims but given the unsettled and political nature of the Venezuelan environment, their outcome is uncertain. We have strongly recommended that INTESA file for bankruptcy as required under Venezuelan law, but PDVSA has refused to support such a filing. Many issues relating to INTESA,

19



including, the amount we will recover on our OPIC claim and the proposal for INTESA to file bankruptcy, remain unresolved.

        Other.    We are also involved in various investigations, claims and lawsuits arising in the normal conduct of our business, none of which, in the opinion of our management, is expected to have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations, cash flows or our ability to conduct business.


Item 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders

        Not applicable.

Executive Officers of the Registrant

        Pursuant to General Instruction G(3) of General Instructions to Form 10-K, the following list is included as an unnumbered Item in Part I of this Form 10-K in lieu of being incorporated by reference from our definitive Proxy Statement used in connection with the solicitation of votes for our 2004 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the "2004 Proxy Statement").

PART II

Item 5. Market for Registrant's Common Equity and Related Stockholder Matters

The Limited Market

        Since our inception, we have followed a policy of remaining essentially employee owned. As a result, there has never been a general public market for any of our securities. In order to provide some liquidity for our stockholders, however, we have maintained a limited secondary market which we call the "limited market," through our wholly owned, broker-dealer subsidiary, Bull, Inc., which was organized in 1973 for the purpose of maintaining the limited market.

        The limited market permits existing stockholders to offer for sale shares of Class A common stock on predetermined days which we call a "trade date." Generally, there are four trade dates each year, however, a scheduled trade date could be postponed or cancelled. In fact, the trade originally scheduled for July 26, 2002 was postponed to August 16, 2002 in order to establish a new stock price after it was determined that the stock price set by the board of directors on July 12, 2002 no longer represented a fair market value. A trade date typically occurs one week after our quarterly board of directors meetings, currently scheduled for January, April, July and October. All shares of Class B common stock to be sold in the limited market must first be converted into 20 times as many shares of Class A common stock.

        All sales and purchases are made at the prevailing price of the Class A common stock determined by the board of directors or its stock policy committee pursuant to the valuation process described below. All participants who wish to participate in a particular trade must submit a trade request in the form of a limit order. A limit order is a request to buy stock at any price equal to or below the limit price specified by the person placing the order or a request to sell stock at any price equal to or above the limit price specified. A limit order will not be processed if the limit price is not satisfied by the price established by the board of directors unless the order is modified. A participant may not submit both a buy limit order and a sell limit order on the same account for the same trade.

        Trade participants may submit their limit order requests either online or in paper format. In order to participate in a particular trade, the participant's limit order must be received by Bull, Inc. no later than 5 p.m. Pacific Time on the day before the board of directors meeting at which the price of the Class A common stock is determined which we refer to as the "limit order deadline." After the stock price has been determined, participants can cancel their orders prior to 5 p.m. Pacific Time on the Friday one week after the stock price is determined which we refer to as the "trade modification deadline." In addition, those participants who submitted their orders online may modify their orders prior to the trade modification deadline. Participants who submitted their order by paper may not modify their orders once submitted, other than to cancel their order. Participants may not change a buy order to a sell order, or a sell order to a buy order after the limit order deadline. All sellers in the limited market (other than our retirement plans and us) pay Bull, Inc. a sales commission. Stockholders submitting sales orders online pay a commission currently equal to 0.5% of the proceeds from such sales and stockholders submitting sales orders by paper pay a commission currently equal to 1% of the proceeds from such sales. No commission is paid by purchasers in the limited market.

        The purchase of Class A common stock in the limited market is restricted to (i) current employees of SAIC and eligible subsidiaries who desire to purchase Class A common stock in an amount that does not exceed a pre-approved limit established by the board of directors or the operating committee of the board, (ii) current employees, consultants and non-employee directors of SAIC and eligible subsidiaries who have been specifically approved by the board of directors or the operating committee of the board to purchase a specified number of shares which may exceed the pre-approved limit, and (iii) trustees or agents of the retirement and benefit plans of SAIC and its eligible subsidiaries. These

23



employees, consultants, directors, trustees and agents are referred to as "authorized buyers." No one, other than these authorized buyers, is eligible to purchase Class A common stock in the limited market.

        If the aggregate number of shares offered for sale in the limited market on any trade date is greater than the aggregate number of shares sought to be purchased by authorized buyers, offers by stockholders to sell 2,000 or less shares of Class A common stock (or up to the first 2,000 shares if more than 2,000 shares of Class A common stock are offered by any such stockholder) will be accepted first. Offers to sell shares in excess of 2,000 shares of Class A common stock will be accepted on a pro-rata basis determined by dividing the total number of shares remaining under purchase orders by the total number of shares remaining under sell orders. If, however, there are insufficient purchase orders to support the primary allocation of 2,000 shares of Class A common stock for each proposed seller, then the purchase orders will be allocated equally among all of the proposed sellers up to the total number of shares offered for sale.

        We are currently authorized, but not obligated, to purchase shares of Class A common stock in the limited market on any trade date, but only if and to the extent that the number of shares offered for sale by stockholders exceeds the number of shares sought to be purchased by authorized buyers, and we, in our discretion, determine to make such purchases. However, the number of shares we may purchase in the limited market on any given trade date is subject to legal and contractual restrictions. Under Delaware law, we may repurchase our shares only out of available surplus. In addition, financial covenants under our credit agreement or agreements we enter into in the future may restrict our ability to repurchase shares. In deciding whether to make such purchases, we will consider a variety of factors, including our cash position and cash flows, investment and capital activities, financial performance, financial covenants, the number of shares outstanding and the amount of the undersubscription in the market. The final determination is not made before the trade date. We have purchased a significant amount of Class A common stock in the limited market during recent periods. We purchased a total of 6,824,113 shares on the trade dates in fiscal year 2004 and a total of 16,238,751 shares on the trade dates in fiscal year 2003. These purchases accounted for 65.5% and 84.5%, respectively, of the total shares purchased by all buyers in the limited market during fiscal years 2004 and 2003. Our purchases balanced the number of shares offered for sale by stockholders with the number of shares sought to be purchased by authorized buyers. We cannot assure you that we will continue to purchase such excess shares in the future. Accordingly, if the aggregate number of shares offered for sale exceeds the aggregate number of shares sought to be purchased by authorized buyers, and we elect not to participate in a trade or otherwise limit our participation in a trade, our stockholders may be unable to sell all the shares they desire to sell in the limited market. Because no other market exists for our stock, our stockholders may be unable to sell all the shares they desire to sell. In addition, if a limited market trade were undersubscribed and prorated or the liquidity of our stock in the limited market were otherwise impaired, the stock price, as set by the board of directors, could be adversely impacted because the independent appraiser could apply or increase any liquidity discount used in valuing our stock.

        During the 2004 and 2003 fiscal years, the trustees of certain of our retirement and benefit plans purchased an aggregate of 2,351,031 and 1,998,956 shares, respectively, in the limited market. These purchases accounted for approximately 22.6% and 10.4% of the total shares purchased by all buyers in the limited market during fiscal years 2004 and 2003, respectively. Such purchases may change in the future, depending on the levels of participation in and contributions to such plans and the extent to which such contributions are invested in Class A common stock. In addition, the trustees of our retirement plans are not permitted to purchase shares of our Class A common stock in the limited market unless the stock price established by the board of directors is determined in good faith by the plan fiduciaries, in reliance on an appraisal by an independent appraiser, to be the fair market value of the shares. The inability of the retirement plans to purchase shares in the limited market could adversely impact the liquidity of our stock.

24



        To the extent that purchases by the trustees of our retirement and benefit plans decrease, and purchases by us decrease or do not increase, the ability of stockholders to resell their shares in the limited market will likely be adversely affected. Although all shares of Class A common stock offered for sale were sold in the limited market on each trade date occurring during fiscal years 2004 and 2003, we cannot assure you that a stockholder desiring to sell all or a portion of his or her shares of our Class A common stock on any trade date will be able to do so.

        To the extent that the aggregate number of shares sought to be purchased by authorized buyers exceeds the aggregate number of shares offered for sale by stockholders, we may, but are not obligated to, sell authorized but unissued shares of Class A common stock in the limited market. In making this determination, we will consider a variety of factors, including our cash position and cash flows, investment and capital activities, financial performance, financial covenants, the number of shares outstanding and the amount of the over subscription in the limited market. The final determination is not made before the trade date. In fiscal years 2004 and 2003, we did not sell any shares of Class A common stock in the limited market as the number of shares sought to be purchased by authorized buyers did not exceed the number of shares offered for sale by stockholders. To the extent that we choose not to sell authorized but unissued shares of Class A common stock in the limited market, the ability of individuals to purchase shares on the limited market may be adversely affected. We cannot assure you that an individual desiring to buy shares of our Class A common stock in any future trade will be able to do so.

Price Determination of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock

    Valuation Process

        Our board of directors determines the price of the Class A common stock using the valuation process described below. In establishing the stock price, the board of directors considers a broad range of valuation data and financial information, including analysis provided by Houlihan Lokey Howard & Zukin Financial Advisors, Inc. ("HLHZ"), our independent appraisal firm. The board also considers valuation data and financial information relating to publicly traded companies considered by our appraiser to be comparable to SAIC or relevant to the valuation of our stock. The valuation process includes the valuation formula set forth below, which has an earnings component and an equity component and includes a variable called the market factor. After considering the analysis of the independent appraisal firm and other valuation data and information, the board of directors sets the market factor at the value that causes the formula to yield a stock price that the board believes represents a fair market value for the Class A common stock within a broad range of financial criteria. The stock price and market factor, as determined by the board of directors, remain in effect until subsequently changed by the board of directors or its stock policy committee.

        The Class A common stock is traded in the limited market maintained by Bull, Inc. at the stock price determined by the board of directors. In accordance with our certificate of incorporation, the price of the Class B common stock is equal to 20 times the stock price applicable to the Class A common stock.

    Role of Appraiser

        HLHZ has served as the appraiser of our stock for over 20 years. HLHZ is a nationally recognized investment banking firm that provides business and securities valuations for a variety of regulatory and planning purposes, renders fairness opinions, and provides financial advisory services in connection with mergers and acquisitions, leveraged buyouts, recapitalizations, financial restructurings and private placements of debt and equity securities. Each quarter in conjunction with the board of directors' valuation process, HLHZ performs an appraisal of our Class A common stock. As part of its

25


methodology, HLHZ uses market multiple analysis of comparable public companies to value SAIC as a whole (excluding Telcordia), Telcordia and major business areas of SAIC.

        In its appraisal of our stock, HLHZ may apply, and from time to time has applied, a liquidity discount based on its assessment of the liquidity provided by the limited market. HLHZ provides substantial valuation data and analysis, which the board relies upon, among other factors, in establishing the stock price. The data and analysis include the reasonable range of fair market value established by the appraisers. In establishing the range of fair market value, the appraiser considers, among other things, the volatility of the stock prices and implied volatility of stock options of the comparable companies and any significant publicly traded securities that we may own. After the board has established the stock price, HLHZ reviews the price and provides an opinion letter to the board of directors and the SAIC and AMSEC retirement plans committees as to whether the stock price appears to reflect the fair market value of our stock. The trustees of our retirement plans are not permitted to purchase shares of our Class A common stock in the limited market unless the stock price established by the board of directors is determined in good faith by the plan fiduciaries, in reliance on an appraisal by an independent appraiser, to be the fair market value of the shares. If the stock price established by the board of directors did not reflect the fair market value as determined by an independent appraisal firm, our retirement plans would be unable to purchase shares of our Class A common stock in that trade and the liquidity of the limited market and our stock price could be adversely impacted.

    Stock Price Formula

        The following formula is used in the valuation method:

    the price per share is equal to the sum of

            (1)   a fraction, the numerator of which is our stockholders' equity at the end of the fiscal quarter immediately preceding the date on which a price determination is to occur, adjusted to reflect the value of our publicly traded equity securities classified as investments in marketable securities, as well as the profit or loss impact, if any, on stockholders' equity arising from investment activities, non-recurring gains or losses on sales of business units, subsidiary common stock or similar transactions closed, as of the valuation date ("E") and the denominator of which is the number of outstanding common shares and common share equivalents at the end of such fiscal quarter ("W(1)") and

            (2)   a fraction, the numerator of which is 5.66 multiplied by the market factor ("M" or "market factor"), multiplied by our operating income for the four fiscal quarters immediately preceding the price determination, net of taxes, excluding investment activities, losses on impaired intangible assets, non-recurring gains or losses on sales of business units, subsidiary common stock and similar items, and including our equity in the income or loss of unconsolidated affiliates and the minority interest in income or loss of consolidated subsidiaries ("P"), and the denominator of which is the weighted average number of outstanding common shares and common share equivalents for those four fiscal quarters, as used by us in computing diluted earnings per share ("W").

        The formula, shown as an equation, is as follows:

Stock Price =   E   +   5.66MP
   
     
    W(1)       W

        The number of outstanding common shares and common share equivalents described above in the formula assumes that each share of Class B common stock is converted into 20 shares of Class A common stock.

26



        The board of directors first used a valuation formula in establishing the price of the Class A common stock in 1972. The valuation formula has periodically been modified ever since. The market factor concept was first added to the formula in 1973. The 5.66 factor was added to the formula in 1976 as a constant to cause the price generated by the formula to reflect a fair market value of the Class A common stock. In 1984, the board of directors, with the assistance of an outside appraisal firm, began its current practice of establishing the value of the market factor to reflect the broad range of business, financial and market forces that also affect the fair market value of the Class A common stock. In 2001, the board of directors approved the modifications of the definitions of the "E" or the stockholders' equity component and "P" or the earnings component of the formula. Before approving these changes to the formula, the board of directors consulted with HLHZ and then determined that these definitional changes were appropriate and that our valuation process would continue to generate a fair market value of the Class A common stock within a broad range of financial criteria.

    Other Valuation Considerations

        In determining the price of the Class A common stock, the board of directors considers many relevant factors, including:

    valuation input from HLHZ

    the performance of the general securities markets and relevant industry groups

    our historical financial performance versus comparable public companies

    the prospects for our future performance

    the value of our investments

    general economic conditions

    general capital market considerations

    other factors the board of directors deems appropriate

        Although orders to buy or sell shares of Class A common stock in the limited market must be entered prior to the board's determination of the stock price, this information is not made available to the board of directors and is not a consideration in determining the price. However, if we elect not to purchase shares in the limited market to fully balance an undersubscribed trade, this could impact both the current and subsequent valuations of our stock.

Review of Stock Price

        Our board of directors reviews the stock price at least four times each year, generally at quarterly meetings. These meetings are currently scheduled in January, April, July and October of each year and are held approximately one week before the four predetermined trade dates. The board of directors reviews the stock price during the period between a quarterly board meeting and the trade date to determine whether the stock price continues to represent a fair market value, and if necessary, modifies the price. The board of directors has authorized its stock policy committee to conduct this review, and, in some quarters, the stock policy committee has conducted this review. If a stock price modification is necessary, the stock policy committee or the board of directors would apply the same valuation process used by the board of directors at a quarterly board meeting. The stock policy committee modified the stock price on July 29, 2002 after it was determined that the stock price established by the board of directors on July 12, 2002 no longer represented a fair market value.

27



Modification of Valuation Process

        The board of directors has broad discretion to modify the valuation process. However, the board of directors does not anticipate changing the valuation process unless:

    a change in the formula or any other aspect of the valuation process used to value the Class A common stock is required under applicable law, or

    in the good faith exercise of its fiduciary duties and after consultation with our independent accountants as to whether the change would result in a charge to earnings upon the sale of Class A common stock, the board of directors, including a majority of the directors who are not our employees, determines that the valuation process no longer results in a fair market value for the Class A common stock, or

    in the good faith exercise of its fiduciary duties, the board of directors, including a majority of directors who are not our employees, after consulting with an independent appraisal firm, determines that a change in the formula or any other aspect of the valuation process is appropriate and that the stock price established by the board of directors through the modified valuation process reflects a fair market value of the Class A common stock.

Risk of Price Fluctuation

        The price of the Class A common stock could be subject to fluctuations in the future due to a number of factors, including:

    the mix of our commercial and international business as a proportion of our overall business and the volatility associated with companies in these business areas

    the impact of acquisitions, investments, joint ventures and divestitures that we may undertake

    the volatility of the market value of comparable public companies that are considered in our valuation process and any publicly traded securities we may own

    the limited market trade imbalances, our inability to guarantee 100% liquidity in the quarterly trades, regardless of the amount of the undersubscription, and the degree of liquidity actually provided to stockholders by the limited market

    the impact of any of the foregoing on HLHZ's valuation analysis and the board of directors' ultimate determination of the stock price

Stock Price Table

        The following table sets forth information concerning the stock price for the Class A common stock, the applicable price for the Class B common stock and each of the variables contained in the formula, including the market factor, in effect for the periods beginning on the dates indicated. The Class A common stock has been rounded to the nearest penny. There can be no assurance that the Class A common stock or the Class B common stock will in the future provide returns comparable to historical returns or that the price will not decline. In fact, the price declined 13.2% during fiscal year

28



2003. See "Business—Risk Factors—Future returns on our common stock may be significantly lower than historical returns."

(1)
"E" is our stockholders' equity at the end of the fiscal quarter immediately preceding the date on which a price determination is to occur, adjusted to reflect the value of publicly traded equity securities classified as investments in marketable securities, as well as the profit or loss impact, if any, on stockholders' equity arising from investment activities, non-recurring gains or losses on sales of business units, subsidiary common stock, or similar transactions closed, as of the valuation date.

(2)
"W1" is the number of outstanding common shares and common share equivalents at the end of the fiscal quarter immediately preceding the date on which a price determination is to occur.

(3)
"P" is our operating income for the four fiscal quarters immediately preceding the price determination, net of taxes, excluding investment activities, losses on impaired intangible assets, non-recurring gains or losses on sales of business units, subsidiary common stock and similar items, and including our equity in the income or loss of unconsolidated affiliates and the minority interest in income or loss of consolidated subsidiaries. The aggregate amount of these items on a pre-tax basis is disclosed as "segment operating income" in our consolidated quarterly and annual financial statements filed with the SEC. The operations of our INTESA joint venture have been classified as discontinued operations as of January 31, 2003 and are no longer reflected in operating income. Beginning with the April 11, 2003 stock price determination, the "P" variable of the formula no longer includes the operations of INTESA.

Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities

        On December 19, 2003, in connection with the acquisition of Exploranium, G.S. Limited, we issued 38,899 shares of our Class A common stock with a per share price of $31.79 to one of the principals in consideration for a noncompetition agreement. No underwriters were involved in this transaction. The issuance of the shares in connection with this transaction was exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, in accordance with Section 4(2) of the Securities Act as a transaction by an issuer not involving any public offering.

        On July 25, 2003, we acquired all the outstanding shares of Opta Limited ("Opta"). In accordance with the stock acquisition, five Opta shareholders, who owned a majority of the shares of Opta, entered into a purchase agreement dated July 25, 2003, as amended October 16, 2003, under which the shareholders agreed to purchase shares of our Class A common stock in our limited market. On January 16, 2004, one individual purchased 5,421 shares at the per share price of $36.52 and on October 17, 2003, four individuals purchased an aggregate of 27,941 shares at the per share price of $31.79. No underwriters were involved in these transactions. Although shares issued in our limited market transactions generally are considered registered under the Securities Act, since these individuals made an investment decision to purchase these shares and a commitment to do so under the purchase agreement prior to the occurrence of the limited market transaction, these shares are considered not to be registered under the Securities Act. The issuance of the shares in connection with this transaction was exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act in accordance with Section 4(2) of the Securities Act as a transaction by an issuer not involving any public offering.

        As of March 31, 2004, there were 1,479,973 shares of our Class A common stock outstanding which were issued by us to non-affiliates since February 1, 2002 in transactions that were not registered under the Securities Act. These shares are considered "restricted securities" (as that term is defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act) and, subject to any contractual restrictions and our right of first refusal, may become eligible for resale under Rule 144(k) as follows:

Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

        The following discussion in "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" and in "Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk," which follows, should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and contains forward-looking statements, including statements regarding our intent, belief or current expectations with respect to, among other things, trends affecting our financial condition or results of operations and the impact of competition. Such statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve risks and uncertainties, and actual results may differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements as a result of various factors. Some of these factors include, but are not limited to: a decrease in or the failure to increase business with the U.S. Government particularly in the defense and homeland security areas, regional Bell operating companies ("RBOCs") and international and commercial customers; the risks associated with our international business; our ability to continue to identify, consummate and integrate additional acquisitions; our ability to competitively price our technical services and products; the risk of early termination of U.S. Government contracts; the risk of losses or reduced profits on firm fixed-price and target cost and fee with risk sharing contracts; a failure to obtain reimbursement for costs incurred prior to the execution of a contract or contract modification; audits of our costs, including allocated indirect costs, by the U.S. Government; a downturn in economic conditions; limited market trade activity; legislative proposals; litigation risks; and other uncertainties, all of which are difficult to predict and many of which are beyond our control. Given these uncertainties and risks, you are warned not to rely on such forward-looking statements. We are not undertaking any obligation to update these factors or to publicly announce the results of any changes to our forward-looking statements due to future events or developments. Additional information about potential factors that could affect our business and financial results is included in the section titled "Risk Factors" on page 10.

        Unless otherwise noted, references to the years are for fiscal years ended January 31, not calendar years.

Overview

        We have three reportable segments: Regulated, Non-Regulated Telecommunications and Non-Regulated Other. Business units in our Regulated segment provide technical services and products primarily for departments and agencies of the U.S. Government through contractual arrangements as either a prime contractor or subcontractor to other contractors. Business units in the Non-Regulated Telecommunications segment, which consists of our Telcordia subsidiary, provide technical services and products primarily for customers in the telecommunications industry. Business units in the Non-Regulated Other segment provide technical services and products primarily to customers in commercial and international markets. For further discussion of our segments, refer to Note 2 of the notes to consolidated financial statements.

        Our consolidated revenues grew 14% in 2004, as growth of 24% from our U.S. Government customers more than offset declines in our commercial segments, primarily at our Telcordia telecommunications business. We expect our U.S. Government revenues to continue to increase, and also expect the decline in Telcordia's telecommunications revenues to stabilize in 2005.

        Our consolidated segment operating income, as defined on page 41, grew 8%, and grew more slowly than revenue because our highest-margin segment, the Non-Regulated Telecommunications segment, represented a smaller fraction of consolidated revenues. We expect segment operating income growth from our government business to again offset a decline in the Non-Regulated Telecommunications segment operating income in 2005.

        Our net income increased 43% in 2004 and grew more rapidly than segment operating income because of improvement in our investment results. Investment impairment losses were down substantially in 2004 and we do not expect investment impairments to be significant in 2005. An increase in net interest expense was caused by the negative spread between interest rates earned on our cash and short-term investments and the interest rate expense on our long-term debt. We hope to offset our net interest expense with greater cash flow from operations as our business continues to grow both organically and from acquisitions as we continue deploying more of our cash resources in connection with acquisitions in 2005 and future years.

        At the end of 2004, cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments totaled $2.4 billion. In addition, we had $637 million available under our revolving credit facilities. Notes payable and long-term debt totaled $1.3 billion, with long-term debt maturities primarily between 2012 and 2033.

        Cash flows from operating activities were down slightly in 2004, because of working capital investment required by our higher revenue growth and because of reduced advance payments from certain of Telcordia's customers. Working capital and accounts receivable management remain significant areas of focus. We expect cash flows from operating activities to increase in 2005.

        We used $194 million of cash in 2004 in connection with business acquisitions. We intend to continue to make acquisitions as part of our overall growth strategy, and expect that the use of cash in connection with acquisitions will increase in the future.

        Repurchases of our common stock decreased substantially in 2004, primarily as a result of a lower number of shares offered for sale in our quarterly stock trades. We have the right, but are not obligated to purchase shares in the limited market on any trade date.

        We intend the following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations to provide information that will assist in understanding our consolidated financial statements, the changes in certain key items in those financial statements from year to year, and the primary factors that accounted for those changes, as well as how certain accounting principles, policies and estimates affect our financial statements. In addition, the following discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations focuses on our continuing operations; it, therefore, excludes amounts related to INTESA which was reclassified as discontinued operations in 2003. For further background explanation on INTESA, refer to Note 21 of the notes to consolidated financial statements.

Critical Accounting Policies

        Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements, which are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). The preparation of these financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingencies at the date of the financial statements as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Management evaluates these estimates and assumptions on an on-going basis including those relating to allowances for doubtful

33



accounts, inventories, fair value and impairment of investments, fair value and impairment of intangible assets and goodwill, income taxes, warranty obligations, restructuring charges, estimated profitability of long-term contracts, pensions and other postretirement benefits, contingencies and litigation. Our estimates and assumptions have been prepared on the basis of the most current available information. The results of these estimates form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results could differ from these estimates under different assumptions and conditions.

        We have several critical accounting policies that are both important to the portrayal of our financial condition and results of operations and require management's most difficult, subjective and complex judgments. Typically, the circumstances that make these judgments complex and difficult have to do with making estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. Our critical accounting policies are as follows:

    Revenue Recognition—As discussed under "Revenue Recognition" in Note 1 of the notes to consolidated financial statements, our revenues are primarily recognized using the percentage-of-completion method as discussed in Statement of Position 81-1, "Accounting for Performance of Construction-Type and Certain Production-Type Contracts." Under the percentage-of-completion method, revenues are recognized based on progress towards completion, with performance measured by the cost-to-cost method, efforts-expended method or units delivery method, all of which require estimating total costs at completion. Estimating costs at completion on these long-term contracts is complex and involves significant judgments about uncertain matters due to the long-term nature of the contract and the technical nature of our services. We have procedures and processes in place to monitor the actual progress of a project against estimates. Should the estimates indicate that we will experience a loss on the contract, we will be required to recognize the estimated loss at the time it is determined. Additional information may subsequently indicate that the loss is more or less than initially recognized which would require further adjustment in our financial statements. Any adjustment as a result of a change in estimate, whether it is a loss or an adjustment to revenue, is made on a prospective basis when events or estimates warrant an adjustment. Estimates are updated quarterly or more frequently if circumstances warrant it.

    Pension and other postretirement benefit plans—As discussed in Note 11 of the notes to consolidated financial statements, we provide retiree benefits under one qualified and three nonqualified defined benefit pension plans for employees of Telcordia and a defined benefit pension plan for certain employees in the United Kingdom that are accounted for under SFAS No. 87, "Employers' Accounting for Pensions." The Telcordia qualified pension plan is our most significant pension plan with the largest number of participants. We also provide retiree medical and life insurance benefits at Telcordia under two plans that are accounted for under SFAS No. 106, "Employers' Accounting for Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions." The cost of providing these benefits is recognized over the period the employee is working and requires actuarial calculations in determining the amount of expense to recognize. The actuarial calculations involve significant assumptions about a number of factors including the expected cost of the benefits and the expected return on the plan assets, if any. Note 11 discloses the most important assumptions, which include the discount rate used to value the future obligation, the rate of future compensation increases, the expected return on plan assets and the health care cost trend rate. We select these assumptions based on current and long-term views of many factors and make our best effort to select the appropriate assumptions. Changes in these key assumptions can have a significant impact on the amount of our liability to retirees, the amount we are required to fund and the amount of cost recognized in the consolidated financial statements. If the performance of our defined benefit pension plan assets is below our expectations, we may have to contribute funds in excess of our current funding obligations.

34


      At January 31, 2004, the accumulated benefit obligation of our foreign pension plan was still greater than the fair value of the pension assets, which means the pension plan remains underfunded. Therefore, we recorded a minimum pension liability of $13 million and an after-tax non-cash reduction to stockholders' equity and other comprehensive income of $14 million on our foreign pension plan. With respect to the Telcordia qualified pension plan, it currently is not in an underfunded position. At the end of 2003, we were concerned that the Telcordia qualified pension plan could have been in an underfunded position at the end of 2004 had the equity markets continued to decline and had changes been made to other key actuarial assumptions. At January 31, 2004, the fair value of the Telcordia qualified pension assets was greater than the accumulated benefit obligation by $162 million and, therefore, the pension plan was not in an underfunded position. In conjunction with management's 2004 update of the assumptions used in the actuarial valuations that are performed on the plan's measurement date, we lowered the discount rate, which is used to value the future pension obligation, to 6.0% and we maintained the rate of return on assets at 8.0%. A lower discount rate increases the present value of benefit obligations and increases pension expense. A .25% decrease in the discount rate would have increased pension expense in 2004 by approximately $5 million while a .25% increase in the discount rate would have decreased pension expense in 2004 by approximately $5 million. A .25% decrease in the expected return on the assets would have increased pension expense in 2004 by approximately $4 million while a .25% increase in the expected return on the assets would have decreased pension expense in 2004 by approximately $4 million. Another factor that impacts pension expense is unrecognized actuarial losses which may result in higher pension expense. At January 31, 2004, we had unrecognized actuarial losses on the four Telcordia pension plans of $476 million compared to $586 million at January 31, 2003. As a result of reducing the discount rate and increased amortization of unrecognized actuarial losses, absent other changes, Telcordia's pension expense for 2005 would increase by $31 million, which includes $25 million of additional amortization of unrecognized actuarial losses over the prior year.

      Subsequent to the year ended January 31, 2004, Telcordia adopted and communicated to all participants a plan to redesign pension benefits. Effective January 1, 2005, we will be freezing the four defined benefit pension plans such that there will be no future cost accruals under these plans for service rendered after the effective date. Benefits earned based on past service prior to the effective date remain unchanged. In consideration for future service, Telcordia will implement a defined contribution plan in the form of a profit sharing and stock bonus plan in which eligible employees can participate. The redesign of pension benefits triggers a curtailment of the benefit obligation and a remeasurement of the plans as of the date of adoption. Therefore, in the first quarter of 2005, the plans' projected benefit obligations will be reduced to reflect the elimination of assumed future compensation increases on benefits earned to date. With the remeasurement, all actuarial assumptions will be reviewed and updated as appropriate. The remeasurement could impact the pension expense recognized in 2005, but we are unable to determine the impact until all assumptions have been updated.

    Investments in marketable and private equity securities—As discussed under "Investments In Marketable and Private Equity Securities" in Note 1 of the notes to consolidated financial statements, our marketable equity securities are carried on the balance sheet at fair value, with changes in fair value recorded through equity. When the market value of a security falls below its cost basis and the decline is deemed to be other-than-temporary, we record the difference between cost and market value as a realized loss. As of January 31, 2004, we held $4 million in marketable equity and debt securities subject to changes in fair value. Similarly, other private equity investments accounted for on the cost method or equity method must be marked down to estimated fair value if an other-than-temporary decline occurs. As of January 31, 2004, we held $101 million in private equity investments. In determining whether a decline is

35


      other-than-temporary, management considers a wide range of factors that may vary depending upon whether the investment is a publicly held equity security or a private investment. These factors include the period of time that the market value of the security or investment has been below its cost, recent financing rounds at a value that is below our carrying value, the operating performance of the entity, its liquidity and our investment intent. The private equity investments involve more judgment than the marketable equity securities because there is no readily available fair market value of a private equity security. Therefore, management, in addition to considering a wide range of other factors, must also use valuation methods to estimate the fair value of a private equity investment. Management judgments about these factors may impact the timing of when an other-than-temporary loss is recognized, and management's use of valuation methods to estimate fair value may also impact the amount of the impairment loss.

    Goodwill Impairment—As discussed in Note 1 and Note 7 of the notes to consolidated financial statements, we account for our goodwill, which represents 22% of our consolidated long-term assets and 6% of consolidated total assets at January 31, 2004, under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets." SFAS No. 142 changed the accounting for goodwill from an amortization approach to an impairment-only approach. Goodwill is tested annually at the same time every year and when an event occurs or circumstances change such that it is reasonably possible that an impairment may exist. The goodwill impairment test is a two-step process which requires management to make judgments in determining what assumptions to use in the calculation. The first step of the process consists of estimating the fair value of each of the reporting units based on a discounted cash flow model using revenue and profit forecasts and comparing those estimated fair values with the carrying values, which includes the allocated goodwill. If the fair value is less than the carrying value, a second step is performed to compute the amount of the impairment by determining an implied fair value of goodwill. The implied fair value of goodwill is the residual fair value derived by deducting the fair value of a reporting unit's assets and liabilities from its estimated fair value calculated in step one. The impairment charge represents the excess of the carrying amount of the reporting unit's goodwill over the implied fair value of their goodwill. The revenue and profit forecasts used in step one are based on management's best estimate of future revenues and operating costs. Changes in these forecasts could cause a particular reporting unit to either pass or fail the first step in the impairment test, which could significantly change the amount of the impairment recorded from step two. In addition, the estimated future cash flows are adjusted to present value by applying a discount rate. Changes in the discount rate impact the impairment by affecting the calculation of the fair value of the reporting unit in step one.

    Derivative instruments—While our 2004 derivative instruments are not material compared to 2003 and 2002 when we held equity collars, we consider our accounting policy on derivative instruments to be critical because of the nature of derivative instruments and the difficulty of determining their fair value. As discussed in Note 8 of the notes to consolidated financial statements, we use derivative instruments for risk management purposes. GAAP requires all derivative instruments to be recorded on the balance sheet as either assets or liabilities measured at fair value. In some cases, quoted market prices are not available, so we are required to estimate the fair value of the instruments. Fair value estimates might be provided by the counterparty to the instrument or we may use cash flow or other models to determine a fair value. In all cases, estimates and assumptions as of a specific point in time, often about future financial prices and rates that are truly continuous in nature, are required to arrive at a fair value. The estimated fair value of the derivative instruments does not necessarily reflect the future settlement amount since the fair value is calculated at various points in time using estimates, assumptions and factors relevant to that particular point in time. Because of the

36


      factors used to estimate fair value, the ultimate gain or loss on the derivative could differ from the amount recorded in the prior financial statements.

        Consolidated revenues increased in 2004 and 2003 primarily due to growth in revenues from our U.S. Government customers in our Regulated segment. The growth in our Regulated segment in 2004 more than offset the declines in revenue from our commercial customers in the Non-Regulated Telecommunications and Non-Regulated Other segments. Revenues from our telecommunications commercial customers decreased in 2004 and 2003 as the telecommunications industry continued to experience weakness. Revenues from our non-telecommunications commercial customers decreased in 2004 and 2003 also due to challenging economic conditions facing our customers, largely in the energy industry.

        The growth in our Regulated segment revenues in 2004 was the result of growth in our traditional business areas with departments and agencies of the U.S. Government and reflects increased contract awards from the U.S. Government. Our growth also reflects the increased budgets of our customers in the national security business area. Approximately 6% of the 2004 growth in revenues was a result of acquisitions made in 2004, while the remaining 18% represented internal growth. We derive a substantial portion of our revenues from the U.S. Government as either a prime contractor or subcontractor, and therefore, our revenues could be adversely impacted by a reduction in the overall level of U.S. Government spending and by changes in its spending priorities from year to year. We were concerned last year that the Iraq conflict could have adversely impacted our revenues in 2004 if U.S. Government funding shifted to direct war fighting efforts, as we could have experienced delays in new contract awards and funding of contracts not directly related to the conflict. The Iraq conflict did not have a significant adverse impact on our revenues in 2004. We did generate revenues from contracts related to homeland security and defense as well as Iraqi reconstruction efforts. In general, obtaining U.S. Government contracts remains a highly competitive process. We continue to increase revenues with the U.S. Government in the service type contracts which are competitively priced utilizing lower cost structures. This constant growth reflects the increasingly competitive business environment in our traditional business areas, as well as our increased success in the engineering and field services markets, which typically involve these lower cost service type contracts.

37



        The decline in our Non-Regulated Telecommunications segment revenues in 2004 and 2003 was attributable to continued customer pricing pressure and lower sales demand, which adversely affected Telcordia's revenues, as our customers continue to experience telecommunications market challenges. Telcordia historically has derived a majority of its revenues from the RBOCs. As a result of the changes and continuing challenges in the marketplace, Telcordia's customers, particularly the RBOCs, continue to reduce their contract spending and place significant pressure on Telcordia to reduce prices and accept less favorable terms on existing and future contracts. During 2004, Telcordia signed contracts with four of the RBOCs to extend maintenance and enhancement support at a lower price for calendar year 2004. Competition for these services is increasing as certain software companies offer competing capabilities in certain areas and several of the RBOCs utilize their own information technology staffs. Telcordia is focused on opportunities for growth through the introduction of new products and diversification into new customers and markets. However, loss of business from the RBOCs or other commercial customers in the global telecommunications market could further reduce revenues and continue to adversely impact our business.

        The decline in our Non-Regulated Other segment revenues in 2004 and 2003 was attributable to our commercial information technology outsourcing customers, largely in the energy industry, who are also continuing to experience a challenging economic environment that is causing them to reduce contract spending. This difficult economic environment started in 2003 and has continued into 2004. In 2004, these customers again reduced contract spending and placed pressure on us to reduce prices.

        Revenues from our contracts in the three reportable segments are generated from the efforts of our technical staff as well as the pass-through of costs for material and subcontract efforts, which primarily occur on large, multi-year systems integration type contracts. At the end of 2004, we had approximately 42,700 full-time and part-time employees compared to 38,700 and 38,000 at the end of 2003 and 2002, respectively. Material and subcontract ("M&S") revenues were $2.0 billion in 2004, $1.5 billion in 2003 and $1.3 billion in 2002. M&S revenues as a percentage of consolidated revenues increased to 29% in 2004 from 26% in 2003.

        Contract types—This discussion relates to the types of contracts we enter into and the financial risk associated with each type. The following table summarizes revenues by contract type for the last three years:

 
  Year ended January 31
 
 
  2004
  2003
  2002
 
Cost-reimbursement   40 % 40 % 35 %
Time-and-materials and fixed-price level-of-effort   34 % 30 % 30 %
Firm fixed-price   24 % 26 % 31 %
Target cost and fee with risk sharing   2 % 4 % 4 %
   
 
 
 
  Total   100 % 100 % 100 %
   
 
 
 

        Cost-reimbursement contracts provide for the reimbursement of direct costs and allowable indirect costs, plus a fee or profit component. Time-and-materials ("T&M") contracts typically provide for the payment of negotiated fixed hourly rates for labor hours incurred plus reimbursement of other allowable direct costs at actual cost plus allocable indirect costs. Fixed-price level-of-effort contracts are similar to T&M contracts since ultimately revenues are based upon the labor hours provided to the customer. Firm fixed-price ("FFP") contracts require us to provide stipulated products, systems or services for a fixed price. We assume greater performance risk on FFP contracts and our failure to accurately estimate ultimate costs or to control costs during performance of the work could result, and in some instances has resulted, in reduced profits or losses for particular contracts. Target cost and fee with risk sharing contracts provide for the customer to reimburse our costs plus a specified or target fee or profit, if our actual costs equal a negotiated target cost. If actual costs fall below the target cost,

38



we receive a portion of the cost underrun as additional fee or profit. If actual costs exceed the target cost, our target fee and cost reimbursement are reduced by a portion of the overrun. Our commercial information technology outsourcing business frequently contracts on this basis.

        Volume—The growth of our business is directly related to the receipt of contract awards and contract performance. We performed on 835 contracts with annual revenues greater than $1 million in 2004 compared to 910 and 961 such contracts in 2003 and 2002, respectively. These larger contracts represented 77% of our revenues in 2004, 79% in 2003 and 73% in 2002. Of these contracts, 88 contracts had individual revenues greater than $10 million in 2004 compared to 81 such contracts in 2003 and 78 in 2002. The remainder of our revenues is derived from a large number of individual contracts with revenues of less than $1 million. Although we have committed substantial resources and personnel needed to pursue and perform larger contracts, we believe we also maintain a suitable environment for the performance of smaller, highly technical research and development contracts. These smaller programs often provide the foundation for our success on larger procurements.

Cost of Revenues

        The following table summarizes cost of revenues as a percentage of revenues:

 
  Year ended January 31
 
 
  2004
  2003
  2002
 
Consolidated cost of revenues as a percentage of consolidated revenues   83.1 % 81.6 % 79.9 %
Segment cost of revenues:              
  Regulated as a percentage of its revenues   87.1 % 87.3 % 87.8 %
  Non-Regulated Telecommunications as a percentage of its revenues   54.8 % 57.3 % 57.4 %
  Non-Regulated Other as a percentage of its revenues   75.3 % 76.0 % 75.6 %

        Consolidated cost of revenues as a percentage of consolidated revenues is impacted by our mix of commercial and government business. The increase in consolidated cost of revenues as a percentage of consolidated revenues for 2004 and 2003 is primarily attributable to the changes in relative revenues among our three business segments. Our revenues from our commercial customers have more of their associated costs in selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") as opposed to cost of revenues. Therefore, the lower mix of revenues from our Non-Regulated Telecommunications and Non-Regulated Other segments in 2004 and 2003 primarily caused the overall cost of revenues to increase as a percentage of revenues.

        Cost of revenues as a percentage of revenues for the Regulated segment declined in 2004 and 2003 primarily due to an increase in the overall negotiated contract margins and a decrease in FFP contract losses over the prior year.

        The decrease in Non-Regulated Telecommunications segment cost of revenues in 2004 reflects the net impact of several different factors. One factor which caused segment cost of revenues to decrease in 2004 was Telcordia's redesign of its postretirement health and welfare benefits. The changes, as further described in Note 11 of the notes to consolidated financial statements, included the elimination of postretirement dental coverage. For financial reporting purposes, we recognized a non-cash gain before income taxes of $16 million, which is the result of the elimination of the accumulated postretirement dental benefit obligation of $9 million and the recognition of previously unrecognized dental actuarial gain and unrecognized dental prior service costs of $7 million. Another factor which decreased segment cost of revenues in 2004 was a reduction in warranty costs of $30 million that was primarily a result of improved warranty cost control. While these factors caused cost of revenues to decrease as a percentage of revenues, there are other factors that caused the cost of revenues as a percentage of revenues to increase in 2004. These primary factors were: Telcordia experiencing lower revenues; continued customer pricing pressure; higher pension and health and welfare costs for active

39



and retired employees; a $5 million impairment charge related to leasehold improvements and equipment at an underutilized customer training facility; and a $10 million charge for shutting down a customer training facility and an office facility because of continued underutilization in 2004.

        Non-Regulated Other segment cost of revenues as a percentage of its revenues did not change significantly.

SG&A

        SG&A expenses are comprised of general and administrative, bid and proposal ("B&P") and independent research and development ("IR&D") expenses. The following table summarizes SG&A as a percentage of revenues:

 
  Year ended January 31
 
 
  2004
  2003
  2002
 
Consolidated SG&A as a percentage of consolidated revenues   8.8 % 9.8 % 12.7 %
Segment SG&A:              
  Regulated as a percentage of its revenues   4.7 % 5.2 % 5.7 %
  Non-Regulated Telecommunications as a percentage of its revenues   29.8 % 26.2 % 30.1 %
  Non-Regulated Other as a percentage of its revenues   18.1 % 16.3 % 14.5 %

        SG&A as a percentage of revenues in the Regulated segment decreased in 2004 and 2003 primarily because we have been able to largely maintain our existing administrative infrastructure to support the revenue growth. Included in SG&A for 2004 are organizational realignment costs, which are further discussed below in "Realignment and Restructuring Charges." The levels of B&P and IR&D activities and costs have not significantly fluctuated and have remained relatively consistent with the revenue growth.

        SG&A in the Non-Regulated Telecommunications segment increased as a percentage of revenues in 2004 primarily due to the decline in revenues. Absolute SG&A costs have remained relatively constant in 2004 compared to 2003. The decrease in 2003 was a result of the involuntary workforce reductions, restructuring and cost control efforts that began at Telcordia in 2002 in response to the downturn in the telecommunications industry.

        SG&A in the Non-Regulated Other segment increased as a percentage of revenues in 2004 primarily due to the overall decline in revenues while increasing marketing efforts in the face of the challenging economic environment that is affecting our current commercial customers.

Realignment and Restructuring Charges

        Included in cost of revenues and SG&A are costs related to realignment and restructuring activities. In January 2004, we undertook an organizational realignment to better align our operations with our major customers and key markets, and to create larger operating units. As a result, in 2004, we had involuntary workforce reductions of 260 employees and recorded total realignment charges of $8 million in SG&A, primarily in the Regulated segment. The related accrued liabilities will be paid by July 2004. The one-time termination benefits consisted of severance benefits, extension of medical benefits and outplacement services of $7 million and accelerated vesting stock compensation of $1 million.

        As in 2003 and 2002, our Telcordia subsidiary had involuntary workforce reductions in 2004. The workforce was reduced by 640 employees in 2004 compared to 686 in 2003 and 2,100 in 2002 to realign Telcordia's staffing levels with lower telecommunications revenues. In addition, Telcordia closed down a customer training facility and an office facility in 2004 due to continual underutilization in 2004. In

40



conjunction with the workforce reduction in 2002, we also recognized a non-cash gain of $10 million for the curtailment of pension benefits, $8 million of which was reflected in cost of revenues with the remaining balance reflected in SG&A. There was no such gain in 2004 and 2003. The components of the Telcordia restructuring charge for the last three years are as follows:

 
  Year ended January 31
 
  2004
  2003
  2002
 
  (In millions)

Special termination pension benefits   $ 5   $ 13   $ 62
Severance, extension of medical and outplacement services     9     1     20
Facilities shutdown     10     1     3
   
 
 
    $ 24   $ 15   $ 85
   
 
 

        The changes in the accrued liabilities related to the realignment and reorganization activities as of January 31, 2004 are as follows:

 
  January 31
 
 
  2004
  2003
 
 
  (In millions)

 
Beginning of the year   $ 1   $ 7  
Additions     27     2  
Payments     (7 )   (8 )
   
 
 
End of the year   $ 21   $ 1  
   
 
 

        The Telcordia severance and related benefits will be paid within the next twelve months while the facilities shutdown accrual will be paid out over the lease terms through 2013. Until July 1, 2003, the special termination pension benefits were funded through Telcordia's pension assets and allocated to the participants' pension accounts as appropriate. These benefits are being paid from the pension trust as plan obligations. Commencing July 1, 2003, Telcordia discontinued using the pension assets to fund severance payments and started funding severance payments through cash flows from its operations. Telcordia has elected to resume funding potential severance payments as a special termination pension benefit from the pension plan as of April 1, 2004.

Segment Operating Income ("SOI")

        SOI, which is presented in accordance with SFAS No. 131, "Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information," is considered a non-GAAP financial measure. We use SOI as our internal measure of operating performance. It is calculated as operating income before income taxes less losses on impaired intangible and goodwill assets, less non-recurring gains or losses on sales of business units, subsidiary stock and similar items, plus equity in the income or loss of unconsolidated affiliates, plus minority interest in income or loss of consolidated subsidiaries. We use SOI as our internal performance measure because we believe it provides a more comprehensive view of our ongoing business operations and, therefore, is more useful in understanding our operating results. Unlike operating income, SOI includes only our ownership interest in income or loss from our majority-owned subsidiaries and our partially-owned unconsolidated affiliates. In addition, SOI excludes the effects of transactions that are not part of on-going operations such as gains or losses from the sale of business units or other operating assets as well as investment activities of our subsidiary, SAIC Venture Capital Corporation ("VCC"). In accordance with SFAS No. 131, for 2004, 2003 and 2002, the reconciliation of consolidated SOI of $546 million, $507 million and $431 million, respectively, to consolidated operating income of $540 million, $499 million and $432 million, respectively, is shown in

41



Note 2 of the notes to consolidated financial statements. The following table summarizes changes in SOI on an absolute basis and as a percentage of segment revenues:

 
  Year ended January 31
 
 
  2004

  2002
 
 
  ($ in millions)

 
Consolidated SOI   $546   $507   $431

$  35

 

$  50

 
  Decrease over prior year   (14 )% (30 )%    
  As a percentage of its revenues   7.2 % 7.8 % 10.8 %

        The 2004 and 2003 increase in Regulated SOI, on an absolute basis and as a percentage of its revenues, reflects higher revenues, increased overall negotiated contract margins, lower FFP contract losses and lower SG&A expenses.

        The 2004 decrease in Non-Regulated Telecommunications SOI, on an absolute basis and as a percentage of its revenues, is the net result of the following key factors previously discussed above in "Cost of revenues" and "SG&A:"

    Reducing SOI:

    Lower revenues

    Price reductions due to increased pressure from customers

    Increase of $28 million in pension and health and welfare costs over 2003

    Impairment of leasehold improvements of $5 million and facilities shutdown cost totaling $10 million related to an underutilized customer training facility and an office facility that was closed as of January 31, 2004

    Increasing SOI:

    Non-cash gain of $16 million from the elimination of the accumulated postretirement dental benefit obligation and the recognition of previously unrecognized actuarial gain and unrecognized prior service costs related to the postretirement dental plan

    Reduced warranty costs of $30 million

    Other cost reduction initiatives

        The 2003 increase in Non-Regulated Telecommunications SOI, on an absolute basis and as a percentage of its revenues, was due to lower restructuring charges than the prior year and the improved operating performance as a result of cost reduction actions taken in the second half of the prior year and throughout 2003 to realign the cost structure with the decline in revenues.

42



        The decrease in our Non-Regulated Other SOI, on an absolute basis and as percentage of revenues, was primarily attributable to a decline in revenues without a proportional decrease in cost of revenues and SG&A expenses.

        As discussed in more detail in Note 2 of the notes to consolidated financial statements, our total reportable segment operating income includes a corporate line item that represents corporate expenses and certain revenue and expense items that are not allocated to the operating Business Units and that are excluded from the evaluation of the Business Units' operating performance. Corporate segment operating expenses were $104 million, $57 million and $67 million in 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively. The majority of the increase in 2004 was due to a higher internal interest charge primarily related to our Non-Regulated Telecommunications segment, which earned a corresponding higher interest credit due to improved management of their capital resources, and due to higher unallocated accrued incentive compensation costs as a result of improved segment operating income in our Regulated segment. The decrease in 2003 was due to a decrease in certain revenue and expense items that were recorded in the corporate segment and excluded from the Business Units' operating performance, offset by higher internal interest charge primarily related to our Non-Regulated Telecommunications segment, which earned a corresponding higher interest credit.

Other Income Statement Items

Goodwill Impairment

        Goodwill is evaluated for impairment on an annual basis or between annual tests if an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit, which includes the goodwill, below its carrying value. During 2004, as a result of the loss of certain significant contracts and proposals related to a reporting unit, we determined that goodwill assigned to that reporting unit had become impaired. Accordingly, we recorded goodwill impairment charges of $7 million in 2004 compared to $13 million in 2003 and $3 million in 2002. The impairment charges represent the excess of the carrying amount of the reporting units' goodwill over the implied fair value of their goodwill. The implied fair value of goodwill is the residual fair value derived by deducting the fair value of a reporting unit's assets and liabilities from its estimated fair value based on a discounted cash flow model using revenue and profit forecasts. We did not record any impairment charges on intangible assets in 2004 and 2003 because there were no circumstances or events that occurred which would have indicated a possible impairment.

Interest Income and Interest Expense

        During 2004, average interest rates and our average cash balances were relatively consistent with 2003, however, interest income increased in 2004 primarily as a result of interest received from a favorable audit settlement with the Internal Revenue Service for a refund of research tax credits. The decrease in interest income in 2003 was primarily attributable to lower average interest rates as our average cash balance in 2003 was higher than during 2002.

        Interest expense increased in 2004 as a result of recognizing a full year of interest on the $800 million debt that was issued in June 2002 and interest on the $300 million debt issuance in June 2003. Interest expense also reflects interest on our other outstanding public debt securities that were issued in 1998, a building mortgage, deferred compensation arrangements and other notes payable.

Net Gain (Loss) on Marketable Securities and Other Investments, Including Impairment Losses

        Gains or losses related to transactions from our investments that are accounted for as marketable equity or debt securities, as cost method investments or as equity method investments are recorded as "Net gain (loss) on marketable securities and other investments, including impairment losses" and are

43



part of non-operating income or expense. Impairment losses on marketable equity securities and private equity investments resulting from declines in fair values that are deemed to be other-than-temporary are also recorded in this financial statement line item. Due to the non-routine nature of the transactions that are recorded in this financial statement line item, significant fluctuations from year to year are not unusual. In 2004, we recognized a net gain from these transactions compared to net losses in 2003 and 2002.

        The net gain on marketable securities and other investments, including impairment losses, in 2004 compared to a net loss in 2003 is primarily due to lower impairment losses on our marketable and private equity securities from declines in fair value that are deemed to be other-than-temporary in nature, and from lower losses on derivative instruments. We recorded impairment losses totaling $19 million in 2004 compared to $108 million in 2003 and $467 million in 2002. Of the total impairment losses in 2004, 2003 and 2002, $19 million, $87 million and $30 million, respectively, were impairments related to our private equity securities. In 2003 and 2002, total impairment losses also included impairments on our publicly traded equity securities of $21 million and $437 million, respectively. Taking into account these impairments in 2004, as of January 31, 2004, we hold $4 million of publicly-traded equity and debt securities and $101 million of private equity securities.

        During 2004, we recognized a net gain before income taxes of $25 million from the sale of certain investments, primarily from the sale of our investment in publicly-traded equity securities of Tellium, Inc., which resulted in a gain before income taxes of $17 million. In 2003, we recognized a net gain before income taxes of $22 million from the sale of certain investments. The largest component of the net gain in 2003 was the liquidation of all our remaining shares of VeriSign, Inc. ("VeriSign") and Amdocs Limited ("Amdocs") and related equity collars that resulted in a gain before income taxes of $14 million. In 2002, we recognized a net loss before income taxes of $39 million on the sale of certain marketable securities and other investments. The largest component of the net loss for 2002 was the sale of VeriSign shares that resulted in a loss before income taxes of $48 million, which was partially offset by a net gain before income taxes of $9 million from the sale of certain other investments.

        As more fully discussed in Note 8 of the notes to consolidated financial statements, we are currently exposed to interest rate risks, foreign currency risks and equity price risks which are inherent in the financial instruments arising from transactions entered into in the normal course of business. We will from time to time use derivative instruments to manage this risk. As a result of the liquidation in 2003 of all of our remaining VeriSign and Amdocs shares and the equity collars that hedged those shares, the remaining derivative instruments we currently hold have not had a material impact on our consolidated financial position or results of operations. As discussed in Note 19 of the notes to consolidated financial statements, in 2004, net loss from all our derivative instruments was not material compared to a net loss before income taxes of $48 million in 2003 and a net gain before income taxes of $29 million in 2002 when we held equity collars.

Provision For Income Taxes

        The provision for income taxes as a percentage of income before income taxes was 31.3% in 2004, 31.0% in 2003 and 28.5% in 2002. The tax rate in 2004 reflects lower charitable contributions of appreciated property than in 2003, a favorable federal audit settlement for 1997 to 2000 and a favorable federal audit settlement for 1988 to 1993 involving a claim for refund of research tax credits. The tax rate in 2003 was the result of charitable contributions of appreciated property and the favorable resolution of certain tax positions with state and federal tax authorities, as well as a lower effective state tax rate. The tax rate for 2005 could be impacted by proposed federal legislation that could eliminate or limit charitable contributions. Additionally, the federal tax credit for research activities is scheduled to expire on June 30, 2004 and may not be extended or could be reinstated after June 30, 2004 without retroactivity.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash and Cash Flows

        Cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments in marketable securities totaled $2.4 billion at January 31, 2004 and $2.2 billion at January 31, 2003. Our primary sources of liquidity during 2004 were funds provided by operations, existing cash and cash equivalents and funds from the issuance of debt as further described below. We also have two revolving credit facilities ("credit facilities") totaling $750 million with a group of financial institutions that provide for (i) a five-year revolving credit facility of up to $500 million, which allows borrowings until July 2007 and (ii) a 364-day revolving credit facility of up to $250 million, which expires on July 28, 2004. Borrowings under the credit facilities are unsecured and bear interest at a rate determined, at our option, based on either LIBOR plus a margin or a defined base rate. We pay a facility fee on the total commitment amount and a fee if utilization exceeds 50% of the total commitment amount. During 2004 and 2003, we did not borrow under either of our credit facilities, however, the amount available for borrowings on our five-year revolving credit facility was reduced because during 2004, we entered into a foreign customer contract with bonding requirements, some of which have been met through the issuance of standby letters of credit under our five-year revolving credit facility in the approximate dollar equivalent of $113 million. We expect to utilize the five-year revolving credit facility for such purposes up to an approximate dollar equivalent of $150 million through August 2004, and any such utilization would further reduce the amount available for borrowing. As of January 31, 2004, the entire $250 million under our 364-day revolving credit facility was available and $387 million of the five-year revolving credit facility was available. Our credit facilities contain customary affirmative and negative covenants. The financial covenants contained in the credit facilities require us to maintain a trailing four quarter interest coverage ratio of not less than 3.5 to 1.0 and a ratio of consolidated funded debt to a trailing four quarter earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA") of not more than 2.75 to 1.0. These covenants also restrict certain of our activities, including, among other things, our ability to create liens, dispose of assets, merge or consolidate with other entities and create guaranty obligations. The credit facilities also contain customary events of default, including, among others, defaults based on certain bankruptcy and insolvency events; nonpayment; cross-defaults to other debt; breach of specified covenants; change of control and material inaccuracy of representations and warranties. As of January 31, 2004, we were in compliance with all financial covenants under the credit facilities.

        In June 2003, we modified our prior plan for financing the $91 million purchase of land and buildings in McLean, Virginia, which we leased under two operating leases. Rather than use the five-year variable rate mortgage financing previously planned, on June 19, 2003, we issued fixed rate debt by completing a private offering of $300 million of senior unsecured notes ("5.5% notes"). The 5.5% notes are due on July 1, 2033 and pay interest at 5.5% on a semi-annual basis beginning January 1, 2004. In anticipation of this debt issuance, we entered into interest rate lock agreements on May 29, 2003 to lock in the effective borrowing rate on portions of the anticipated debt financing. Due to declines in interest rates from the dates of entering into the treasury lock contracts to the date of the debt issuance, we were required to pay $5 million to settle the treasury lock contracts upon the debt issuance. This loss of $5 million before income taxes is being amortized to interest expense over the term of the related debt.

        The net proceeds from the private debt offering were $293 million, which was net of underwriters' commissions and reflected an interest discount on the notes. In August 2003, we used $91 million of the proceeds to acquire the land and buildings. The remainder of the proceeds will be used for general corporate purposes, including future acquisitions, expansion of our outsourcing business, stock repurchases and capital expenditures. In January 2004, we completed an exchange of substantially all the private notes for new notes registered with the SEC. These new registered notes are identical in all material respects to the terms of the notes issued on June 19, 2003.

45



        During 2004, we entered into swap agreements to manage our overall interest rate risk and cash flow related to our outstanding debt. In conjunction with our modified financing plan discussed above, on May 29, 2003, we also entered into additional interest rate swap agreements ("2003 swap agreements") to offset the effects of the swap agreements entered into in January 2002 ("2002 swap agreements"), as described in Note 8 of the notes to consolidated financial statements. As of May 29, 2003, the 2002 swap agreements were no longer designated in a cash flow hedging relationship and, therefore, all future changes in fair value are being recorded directly into income through August 2008. The cumulative loss of $14 million before income taxes on the 2002 swap agreements through May 29, 2003 is being amortized as additional interest expense over the five-year period from August 2003 through August 2008.

        Cash flows generated from operating activities were $508 million in 2004 compared to $549 million in 2003 and $574 million in 2002. Net cash provided by operating activities in 2004 consisted primarily of net income of $351 million increased for non-cash charges to income of $222 million and other activities of $26 million, offset by $91 million used in working capital. The increased investment in working capital in 2004 was a result of higher revenue growth and a reduction of $91 million in contract prepayments by certain of Telcordia's customers. We continue to place emphasis and management focus on contract billing and collection processes.

        We used cash of $477 million for investing activities in 2004, primarily to purchase the land and buildings in McLean, Virginia that had been leased and to acquire businesses, which is part of our overall growth strategy. In 2004, we also reduced the level of investments in private companies held by our subsidiary, VCC. In 2003, we generated net cash of $200 million from investing activities. This net cash was generated primarily from the liquidation of all our remaining shares in VeriSign and Amdocs and the related equity collars that resulted in $631 million of proceeds, from decreasing our capital expenditures, primarily at Telcordia, and from reducing our level of investments in private companies by VCC. In 2002, we generated net cash of $281 million from investing activities primarily from the sale of investments.

        Our net cash used for financing activities was $26 million, $104 million and $1 billion in 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively. In 2004 and 2003, our primary sources of cash were the net proceeds from the debt offerings in June 2003 and June 2002, respectively. Our primary use of cash for financing activities continues to be for the repurchase of our common stock, as described below:

Repurchases of common stock:

  Total   $ 406   $ 911   $ 1,077
   
 
 

        In 2004, stock repurchases declined in all areas, most notably in the quarterly stock trades. Although we have no obligation to make such repurchases in the quarterly stock trades, we have repurchased the excess of the shares offered for sale above the number of shares sought to be purchased by authorized buyers in the 2004, 2003 and 2002 quarterly stock trades. The number of shares we may purchase in the limited market on any given trade date is subject to legal and contractual restrictions. In 2002, we provided our plan participants with a limited window in which to exchange out of the non-exchangeable SAIC stock funds, resulting in increased repurchases from the plans. Repurchases of our shares reduce the amount of retained earnings in the stockholders' equity section of our consolidated balance sheet. If we continue to experience net share repurchases in quarterly trades and other repurchase activities, as described above, in excess of our cumulative earnings, our retained earnings will be reduced and could result in an accumulated deficit within our stockholders' equity.

        There is no public market for our Class A common stock. As more fully described in the "Limited Market" discussion on page 23 of this Form 10-K, a limited market is maintained by our wholly-owned broker-dealer subsidiary, Bull, Inc., which permits existing stockholders to offer for sale shares of Class A common stock on predetermined days which we call a "trade date." Generally, there are four trade dates each year, however, a scheduled trade date could be postponed or cancelled. All sales in the limited market are made at the prevailing price of the Class A common stock determined by the board of directors or its stock policy committee pursuant to the valuation process described on page 25 of this Form 10-K. If the number of shares offered for sale by stockholders exceeds the number of shares sought to be purchased by authorized buyers in any trade, our stockholders who requested to sell stock may not be able to sell all such stock in that trade. Although we are currently authorized, we are not obligated to purchase shares of stock in the limited market on any trade date. There is no assurance that we will continue to purchase such excess shares in the future. Accordingly, if we elect not to participate in a trade or otherwise limit our participation in a trade, our stockholders may be unable to sell all the shares they desire to sell.

Contractual and Long-term Obligations

        The following table summarizes our contractual and other long-term obligations. For contractual obligations, we included payments that we have a binding legal obligation to make. We did not include deferred income tax liabilities of $49 million or other long-term liabilities of $248 million, which primarily relate to pension and postretirement benefit obligations and deferred compensation arrangements, because it is not entirely certain when those amounts will become due as they are dependent in part on certain events and circumstances.

Includes obligations to transfer funds under legally enforceable agreements for fixed or minimum amounts or quantities of goods or services at fixed or minimum prices. Excludes purchase orders for products or services to be delivered under government contracts under which we have full recourse under normal contract termination clauses.

(3)
Includes estimated payments to settle the 2002 and 2003 swap agreements and contractually required payments to the foreign defined benefit pension plan.

Cash Flow Expectations for 2005

        Managing our cash flow continues to be a key area of focus. We expect our cash flows from operating activities to increase in 2005 and plan to continue our investing activities. We expect to make $74 million of capital expenditures, including $10 million for real estate transactions. We are also planning to increase our level of business acquisitions. We expect to spend cash resources for repurchases of shares in 2005 as we did in 2004. While we cannot predict how much we will spend for

47



such repurchases, it is possible that in 2005 we will spend as much or more than we spent for repurchases in 2004. Based on our existing cash, cash equivalents, short-term investments in marketable securities, borrowing capacity and planned cash flows from operations, we expect to have sufficient funds in 2005 for our operations, capital expenditures, stock repurchases, business acquisitions and equity investments, and to meet our contractual obligations noted in the table above, including interest payments on our outstanding debt. We also believe the risk is low that we would not be able to meet our contractual obligations during 2005.

Commitments and Contingencies

        As discussed in Note 22 of the notes to consolidated financial statements, our Telcordia subsidiary initiated arbitration proceedings against Telkom South Africa as a result of a contract dispute. At January 31, 2004, we continue to pursue our dispute through the courts. Due to the complex nature of the legal and factual issues involved and the uncertainty of litigation in general, the outcome of the arbitration and the related court actions are not presently determinable. We do not have any assets or liabilities recorded related to this contract and related legal proceedings as of January 31, 2004 and 2003.

        As discussed in Note 22 of the notes to consolidated financial statements, INTESA, a foreign joint venture we formed in 1997 with Venezuela's national oil company, PDVSA, to provide information technology services in Latin America, is involved in various legal proceedings. On September 4, 2003, we filed a claim of approximately $10 million with the Overseas Protection Insurance Company, a U.S. Governmental entity that provides insurance coverage against expropriation of U.S. business interests by foreign governments and instrumentalities ("OPIC"), on the basis that PDVSA and the Venezuelan government's conduct constituted the expropriation of our investment in INTESA without compensation. On February 24, 2004, OPIC made a finding that expropriation had occurred, but the value of our claim has not been finalized. Many issues relating to INTESA, including the amount we will recover on our OPIC claim and the proposal for INTESA to file bankruptcy, remain unresolved. Under the 1997 outsourcing services agreement between INTESA and PDVSA, we guaranteed INTESA's obligations. Under the terms of the services agreement, the maximum liability for INTESA for all claims made by PDVSA for damages brought in respect of the service agreement in any calendar year is limited to $50 million. Our maximum obligation under the guarantee is $20 million based on PDVSA's 40% ownership percentage in INTESA. There currently is no liability recorded related to this guarantee. We do not have any assets or liabilities recorded related to this discontinued operation as of January 31, 2004 and 2003.

        In 2004, we were awarded a foreign customer contract that requires us to lease certain equipment under an operating lease from a subcontractor for ten years. The lease term commences as soon as the development and integration of the system under contract is completed and accepted by the customer in 2005. The terms of the customer contract and lease agreement provide that if the foreign customer defaults on its payments to us to cover the future lease payments, then we are not required to make the lease payments to the subcontractor. Accordingly, the maximum contingent lease liability of approximately $105 million at January 31, 2004 is not included in the contractual obligations table above and such amount has not been recorded in the consolidated financial statements.

        We have guaranteed debt of $13 million, representing 50% of certain credit facilities for our 50% owned joint venture, Data Systems and Solutions, LLC, which we account for using the equity method. Another of our investments, Danet Partnership GBR ("GBR"), a German partnership, has an internal equity market similar to our limited market where we provide liquidity rights to the other GBR investors in certain circumstances. These rights allow only the withdrawing investors in the absence of a change in control and all GBR investors in the event of a change of control to put their GBR shares to us in exchange for the current fair value of those shares. We may pay the put price in shares of SAIC common stock or cash. We do not currently record a liability for these rights because their exercise is

48



contingent upon the occurrence of future events which we cannot determine with any certainty will occur. The maximum potential obligation, if we assume all the current GBR employees withdraw from GBR, would be $10 million as of January 31, 2004. If we were to incur the maximum obligation and purchase all the shares outstanding from the other investors, we would then own 100% of GBR.

        We have another guarantee that relates only to claims brought by the sole customer of another of our joint ventures, Bechtel SAIC Company, LLC, for specific contractual nonperformance of the joint venture. We also have a cross-indemnity agreement with the joint venture partner, pursuant to which we will only be ultimately responsible for the portion of any losses incurred under the guarantee equal to our 30% ownership interest. Due to the nature of the guarantee, as of January 31, 2004, we are not able to project the maximum potential amount of future payments we could be required to make under the guarantee but, based on current conditions, we believe the likelihood of having to make any payment is remote. There currently is no liability recorded relating to this guarantee.

        In the normal conduct of our business, we, including our Telcordia subsidiary, seek to monetize our patent portfolio through licensing. We also have and will continue to defend our patent position when we believe our patents have been infringed and, we are involved in such litigation from time to time. We are also involved in various investigations, claims and lawsuits arising in the normal conduct of our business, none of which, in our opinion, will have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations, cash flows or our ability to conduct business.

Accounting Changes

        As discussed further in Note 7 of the notes to consolidated financial statements, effective February 1, 2002, we implemented SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets," which changed the accounting for goodwill from an amortization approach to an impairment-only approach. Upon adoption, we did not have a transitional goodwill impairment charge and, therefore, we did not have a cumulative effect of an accounting change.

        Effective at the beginning of 2002, we adopted SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities," as amended. SFAS No. 133 establishes accounting and reporting standards requiring that derivative instruments, including derivative instruments embedded in other contracts, be recorded on the balance sheet as either an asset or liability measured at its fair value. SFAS No. 133 also requires that changes in the fair value of derivative instruments be recognized currently in results of operations unless specific hedge accounting criteria are met. If the derivative is designated as a cash flow hedge, the effective portions of changes in the fair value of the derivative are recorded in other comprehensive income, which is a component of stockholders' equity, and are recognized in the income statement when the hedged item affects earnings. Ineffective portions of changes in the fair value of cash flow hedges are recognized in earnings. If the derivative is designated as a fair value hedge, the changes in the fair value of the derivative and the hedged item attributable to the hedged risk are recognized in earnings and only the ineffective portion of changes in fair value ultimately impacts earnings. The adoption of SFAS No. 133 on February 1, 2001, resulted in a cumulative effect of an accounting change, net of tax, which increased net income by $1 million.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

        In December 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued a revision to FASB Interpretation No. 46 ("FIN 46R") "Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities," which was originally issued in January 2003. FIN 46R defines variable interest entities and establishes standards for determining under what circumstances variable interest entities should be consolidated by their primary beneficiary. The provisions of FIN 46R are effective immediately for all arrangements entered into after December 31, 2003. We have not entered into any arrangements we believe are variable interest entities since December 31, 2003. For those arrangements that existed prior to December 31, 2003, we

49



are required to adopt the provisions of FIN 46R effective February 1, 2005. We are in the process of determining whether any of our unconsolidated joint ventures meet the definition of a variable interest entity and posses the characteristics for consolidation. Therefore, we have not yet determined the effect, if any, the adoption of FIN 46R will have on our consolidated financial position or results of operations.

        In December 2003, the FASB revised SFAS No. 132, "Employers' Disclosures about Pensions and Other Postretirement Benefits," which is effective for our year ended January 31, 2004. This revised statement requires certain quarterly disclosures and additional annual disclosures about the plan assets, the benefits expected to be paid and the contributions expected to be made in future years. We have adopted SFAS No. 132 and provided the disclosures required in Note 11 of the notes to consolidated financial statements. Since SFAS No. 132 was related to disclosures only, adoption of the revised SFAS No. 132 did not have an effect on our consolidated financial position or results of operations.

        In May 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 150, "Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity," which was effective for financial instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003, and otherwise was effective for our quarter beginning August 1, 2003. SFAS No. 150 establishes standards for how an issuer classifies and measures certain financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity and requires an issuer to classify a financial instrument as a liability or an asset under certain circumstances as defined in SFAS No. 150. The adoption of SFAS No. 150 did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial position or results of operations.

Effects of Inflation

        Our cost-reimbursement type contracts are generally completed within one year. As a result, we have generally been able to anticipate increases in costs when pricing our contracts. Bids for longer-term FFP and T&M type contracts typically include sufficient labor and other cost escalations in amounts expected to cover cost increases over the period of performance. Consequently, because costs and revenues include an inflationary increase commensurate with the general economy, net income as a percentage of revenues has not been significantly impacted by inflation. As we expand our business into international markets, movements in foreign currency exchange rates may impact our results of operations. Currency exchange rate fluctuations may also affect our competitive position in international markets as a result of their impact on our profitability and the pricing offered to our non-U.S. customers.


Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

        We are exposed to certain market risks which are inherent in our financial instruments arising from transactions entered into in the normal course of business. Our current market risk exposures are primarily in the interest rate and foreign currency areas. The following information about our market sensitive financial instruments contains forward-looking statements.

        Interest Rate Risk—Our exposure to market risk for changes in interest rates relates primarily to our cash equivalents, investments in marketable securities and long-term debt obligations.

        We have established investment policies to protect the safety, liquidity and after-tax yield of invested funds. These policies establish guidelines on acceptable instruments in which to invest and maximum maturity dates. They also require diversification in the investment portfolios by establishing maximum amounts that may be invested in designated instruments. We do not authorize the use of derivative financial instruments in our managed short-term investment portfolios. Our policy requires that all investments mature in four years or less. Strategic investments may have characteristics that differ from those described above. Our derivative policies authorize the limited use of derivative agreements to hedge interest rate risks.

50



        At January 31, 2004, our holdings of cash equivalents and managed portfolio investments were about $165 million higher than January 31, 2003. On an overall basis, interest rates remained constant during 2004. If rates decrease, the fair values of existing marketable securities bearing fixed interest rates would increase, while the cash flow from interest earned on existing variable rate instruments would decrease.

        As described in Note 13 of the notes to consolidated financial statements, in June 2003, we issued $300 million of 5.50% 30-year fixed rate debt which increased our interest rate exposure associated with long-term debt obligations. In anticipation of this debt issuance, we entered into treasury lock agreements to lock in the effective borrowing rate on portions of the anticipated debt issuance. Due to declines in interest rates from the dates of entering into the treasury lock contracts to the date of the debt issuance, we were required to pay $5 million to settle the treasury lock contracts in 2004.

        The table below provides information about our financial instruments that are sensitive to changes in interest rates. For debt obligations and short-term investments, the table presents principal cash flows in U.S. dollars and related weighted average interest rates by expected maturity dates. As described in Note 8 of the notes to consolidated financial statements, the 2003 swap agreements we entered into in May 2003 are expected to substantially offset interest rate exposures related to the 2002 swap agreements previously entered into in January 2002. As a result, on a combined basis, these swaps are no longer exposed to changing interest rates and we have excluded the swap agreements from the table below:

The 2005 amount includes $18 million denominated in Euros, $11 million denominated in Canadian dollars and $5 million denominated in British pounds

        Foreign Currency Risk—Although the majority of our transactions are denominated in U.S. dollars, some transactions are based in various foreign currencies. Our objective in managing our exposure to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations is to mitigate adverse fluctuations in earnings and cash flows associated with foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations. Our policy allows us to actively manage cash flows, anticipated transactions and firm commitments through the use of natural hedges

51



and forward foreign exchange contracts. As of January 31, 2004, we had 42 open forward foreign exchange contracts, none of which are significant in size. The currencies hedged as of January 31, 2004 are the British pound, the Canadian dollar, the Euro, the Swedish krona and the United States dollar. We do not use foreign currency derivative instruments for trading purposes.

        We assess the risk of loss in fair values from the impact of hypothetical changes in foreign currency exchange rates on market sensitive instruments by performing sensitivity analysis. The fair values for foreign exchange forward contracts are estimated using spot rates in effect on January 31, 2004. The differences that result from comparing hypothetical foreign exchange rates and actual spot rates as of January 31, 2004 are the hypothetical gains and losses associated with foreign currency risk. As of January 31, 2004, holding all other variables constant, a 10% weakening of the U.S. dollar against each hedged currency would decrease the fair values of the forward foreign exchange contracts by approximately $1 million.

        Equity Price Risk—We are exposed to equity price risks on our strategic investments in publicly-traded equity securities, which are primarily in the high technology market. At January 31, 2004, the quoted fair value of our publicly-traded equity securities was $2 million and the associated risk of loss was not significant.

Item 9A. Controls and Procedures

    (a)
    Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures. We carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our Disclosure Committee and management, including Kenneth C. Dahlberg (Chief Executive Officer) and Thomas E. Darcy (Chief Financial Officer), of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) or 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act")) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported on a timely basis. Based upon that evaluation, Kenneth C. Dahlberg and Thomas E. Darcy concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective in timely alerting them to material information relating to the Company (including its consolidated subsidiaries) required to be included in our periodic SEC filings.

    (b)
    Changes in internal control over financial reporting. There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation of such internal control over financial reporting that occurred in the fourth quarter of the period covered by this report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
Science Applications International Corporation:

        We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Science Applications International Corporation and its subsidiaries (the "Company") as of January 31, 2004 and 2003, and the related consolidated statements of income, stockholders' equity and comprehensive income, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended January 31, 2004. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

        We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in 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 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, such consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of January 31, 2004 and 2003, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended January 31, 2004, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

        As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, effective February 1, 2002, the Company changed its method of accounting for goodwill and other intangible assets to conform to Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142. Effective February 1, 2001, the Company changed its method of accounting for derivative instruments and hedging activities to conform with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, as amended.

SCIENCE APPLICATIONS INTERNATIONAL CORPORATION

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1—Summary of Significant Accounting Policies:

Consolidation

        The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Science Applications International Corporation and all majority-owned and wholly-owned U.S. and international subsidiaries (collectively referred to as "the Company"). Unless otherwise noted, references to the years are for fiscal years ended January 31, not calendar years. All significant intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated in consolidation. Outside investors' interests in the majority-owned subsidiaries are reflected as minority interest.

        Certain majority-owned and wholly-owned subsidiaries have fiscal years ended December 31. The financial position and results of operations of these subsidiaries are included in the Company's consolidated financial statements for the years ended January 31. There were no material intervening events for these subsidiaries from December 31 through January 31 and for each of the years presented that would materially affect the consolidated financial position or results of operations. The operations of the Company's joint venture, Informática, Negocios y Tecnología, S.A. ("INTESA") were classified as discontinued operations in the consolidated balance sheets, statements of income and cash flows and the notes to consolidated financial statements. The consolidated financial statements for 2002 have been reclassified to conform to the 2003 presentation of INTESA as discontinued operations (Note 21).

        Investments in affiliates and corporate joint ventures where the Company has an ownership interest representing between 20% and 50%, or over which the Company exercises significant influence, are accounted for under the equity method whereby the Company recognizes its proportionate share of net income or loss and does not consolidate the affiliates' individual assets and liabilities. Equity investments in affiliates over which the Company does not exercise significant influence and whose securities do not have a readily determinable fair market value as defined in Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities," are generally carried at cost.

Use of Estimates

        The preparation of financial statements, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"), requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingencies at the date of the financial statements as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Estimates have been prepared on the basis of the most current information and actual results could differ from those estimates.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

        The fair value of a financial instrument is the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties and is determined based on quoted market prices, if available, or management's best estimate. It is management's belief that the carrying amounts shown for the Company's financial instruments, which include cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments in marketable securities, long-term receivables, long-term investments in marketable securities and long term investments in private equity securities, are reasonable estimates of their related fair values. The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments in marketable securities approximates fair value because of the short maturity of those instruments. The fair value of short-term and long-term investments in marketable securities is based upon quoted market prices. The fair value of long-term receivables is estimated by discounting the expected future

F-7



cash flows at interest rates commensurate with the creditworthiness of customers and other third parties. The fair value of long term investments in private equity securities is estimated using various valuation techniques and factors, such as discounted cash flow models, market prices of comparable companies and recent capital transactions of portfolio companies. The fair value of long-term debt (Note 13) is estimated based on quoted market prices for similar instruments and current rates offered to the Company for similar debt with the same remaining maturities.

Revenue Recognition

        The Company's revenues result primarily from contracts with commercial customers, the U.S. Government, and various international, state and local governments or from subcontracts with other contractors engaged in work with such customers. The Company performs under a variety of contracts, some of which provide for reimbursement of cost plus fees, or target cost and fee with risk sharing, and others which are fixed-price or time-and-materials type contracts. Revenues and fees on these contracts are recognized using the percentage-of-completion method of accounting, primarily based on contract costs incurred to date compared with total estimated costs at completion ("cost-to-cost method"). The Company also uses efforts-expended methods of percentage of completion (using measures such as labor dollars) for measuring progress towards completion in situations in which this approach is more representative of the progress on the contract than the cost-to-cost method. The efforts-expended method is utilized when there are significant amounts of materials or hardware on a contract for which procurement of materials does not represent significant progress on the contract. Additionally, the Company utilizes the units-of-delivery method under percentage-of-completion on contracts where separate units of output are produced. Under the units-of-delivery method, revenue is recognized when the units are delivered to the customer, providing that all other requirements for revenue recognition have been met. On contracts that provide for incentive or award fees, the Company includes an estimate of the ultimate incentive or award fee to be received on the contract in the estimated contract revenues for purposes of applying the percentage-of-completion method of accounting.

        The Company also derives revenues from maintenance contracts and from the sale of manufactured products. Revenues from maintenance contracts are recognized over the term of the respective contracts as maintenance services are provided. Amounts billed but not yet recognized as revenue under certain types of contracts are deferred in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Revenues from the sale of manufactured products are recorded when the products have been delivered to the customer.

        The Company provides for anticipated losses on contracts by a charge to income during the period in which the losses are first identified. Unbilled receivables are stated at estimated realizable value. Contract costs on U.S. Government contracts, including indirect costs, are subject to audit and adjustment by negotiations between the Company and government representatives. Substantially all of the Company's indirect contract costs have been agreed upon through 2002. Contract revenues on U.S. Government contracts have been recorded in amounts that are expected to be realized upon final settlement.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

        Cash equivalents are highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less. Cash and cash equivalents at January 31, 2004 and 2003 include $1 billion invested in commercial paper and institutional money market funds.

F-8



Investments in Marketable and Private Equity Securities

        Marketable debt and equity securities are classified as either available-for-sale or held-to-maturity at the time of purchase. Available-for-sale securities are carried at fair market value and held-to-maturity debt securities are carried at amortized cost. Unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale securities are carried net of related tax effects in accumulated other comprehensive income in stockholders' equity. Realized gains and losses on the sale of available-for-sale securities are determined using the adjusted cost of the specific securities sold.

        At each balance sheet date, management assesses whether an impairment loss on its marketable and private equity securities has occurred due to declines in fair value and other market conditions. If management determines that a decline in the fair value has occurred and is deemed to be other-than-temporary in nature, an impairment loss is recognized to reduce the marketable security to its estimated fair value (Note 19).

Inventories

        Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined using the average cost and first-in, first-out methods.

Property, Plant and Equipment

        Depreciation and amortization of buildings and related improvements are provided using the straight-line method over estimated useful lives of ten to forty years and the shorter of the lease term or ten years, respectively. Depreciation of equipment is provided using the straight-line method or the declining-balance method over their estimated useful lives of three to ten years.

        Additions to property and equipment together with major renewals and betterments are capitalized. Maintenance, repairs and minor renewals and betterments are charged to expense. When assets are sold or otherwise disposed of, the cost and related accumulated depreciation or amortization are removed from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is recognized.

        The Company assesses potential impairments to its long-lived assets when there is evidence that events or changes in circumstances have made recovery of the asset's carrying value unlikely and the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the estimated future undiscounted cash flows. When the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the estimated future undiscounted cash flows, an impairment loss is recognized to reduce the asset's carrying amount to its estimated fair value based on the present value of the estimated future cash flows. During 2004, the Company's Telcordia subsidiary recognized an impairment loss of $5 million, primarily related to leasehold improvements and equipment at an under-utilized training facility for telecommunications customers. The impairment loss is reflected in cost of revenues and in the Non-Regulated Telecommunications segment.

Goodwill and Intangible Assets

        Goodwill, which represents the excess of the cost of an acquired entity over the net amounts assigned to assets acquired and liabilities assumed, is assessed for impairment under SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets" (Note 7). Intangible assets with finite lives are amortized on a straight-line basis over their useful lives of three to fifteen years and are evaluated for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying value may not be recoverable under SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets."

F-9



Warranty Obligations

        The majority of the Company's warranty costs are incurred in connection with warranty provisions included in Telcordia's software development contracts. The Company generally offers a twelve-month warranty for software defects. The liability is estimated based primarily on prior claims experience and current software license revenue subject to warranty obligations. The obligation is accrued as development contracts are performed. The Company assesses the adequacy of the reserve on a periodic basis to determine if any adjustments are necessary due to changes in actual spending by product or other factors. During 2004, Telcordia experienced lower actual warranty costs primarily due to improved cost controls resulting in a $13 million reduction in accrued warranty obligations and cost of revenues, which is reflected in total adjustments of $14 million. The changes in accrued warranty obligations are as follows:

 
  January 31
 
 
  2004
  2003
 
 
  (In millions)

 
Beginning of the year   $ 49   $ 60  
New warranties     21     30  
Adjustments     (14 )   9  
Payments     (25 )   (50 )
   
 
 
End of the year   $ 31   $ 49  
   
 
 

Income Taxes

        Income taxes are provided utilizing the liability method. The liability method requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the carrying amounts and tax bases of assets and liabilities. Additionally, under the liability method, changes in tax rates and laws will be reflected in income in the period such changes are enacted.

Stock-Based Compensation

        The Company has a number of stock-based employee compensation plans, including stock options, stock purchase and restricted stock plans, which are described in Note 10. The Company accounts for employee stock-based compensation using the intrinsic value method for each period presented under the recognition and measurement principles of APB Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees," and related interpretations. Under the intrinsic value method, no compensation expense is reflected in net income for options granted to employees, as all options granted under those plans had an exercise price equal to the fair market value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant, and no compensation expense is recognized for the employee stock purchase plan. The Company accounts for stock options granted to non-employees using the fair value method under SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation." The following table illustrates the effect on net income

F-10



and earnings per share if the Company had applied the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123 to the employee stock options and employee stock purchase plan:

 
  Year ended January 31
 
 
  2004
  2003
  2002
 
 
  (In millions, except per share amounts)

 
Net income, as reported   $ 351   $ 246   $ 19  
Deduct: Total stock-based employee compensation expense determined under fair value based method for all awards, net of related tax effect     (36 )   (39 )   (37 )
   
 
 
 
Pro forma net income (loss)   $ 315   $ 207   $ (18 )
   
 
 
 
Earnings (loss) per share:                    
  Basic—as reported   $ 1.90   $ 1.26   $ .09  
   
 
 
 
  Basic—pro forma   $ 1.70   $ 1.06   $ (.08 )
   
 
 
 
  Diluted—as reported   $ 1.86   $ 1.21   $ .08  
   
 
 
 
  Diluted—pro forma   $ 1.67   $ 1.02   $ (.08 )
   
 
 
 

        The pro forma compensation costs were determined using weighted-average per share fair values of options granted in 2004, 2003 and 2002 of $4.12, $6.61 and $6.31, respectively. The fair value for these options was estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions for 2004, 2003 and 2002: no dividend yield, no volatility, risk-free interest rates ranging from 2.5% to 5.1% and expected lives of five years.

        The Black-Scholes option valuation model was developed for use in estimating the fair value of traded options which have no vesting restrictions and are fully transferable. In addition, option valuation models require the input of highly subjective assumptions including the expected stock price volatility. The Company meets the definition of a non-public company for the purposes of calculating fair value and, therefore, assumes no volatility in the fair value calculation. Because the Company's employee stock options have characteristics significantly different from those of traded options and because changes in subjective input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimates, in management's opinion, the existing models do not necessarily provide a reliable single measure of the fair value of its employee stock-based compensation plans.

Common Stock and Earnings Per Share

        The Company is authorized to issue 1 billion shares of Class A common stock, par value $.01 and 5 million shares of Class B common stock, par value $.05. As of January 31, 2004, 181,221,000 shares of Class A common stock and 226,000 shares of Class B common stock were issued and outstanding. Each share of Class B common stock is convertible into 20 shares of Class A common stock. Class A and Class B common stock are collectively referred to as common stock in the Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements and are shown assuming that the Class B was converted into Class A common stock.

        Although there has never been a general public market for the Company's common stock, the Company has maintained a limited market through its wholly-owned broker-dealer subsidiary, Bull, Inc. Quarterly determinations of the price of the common stock are made by the Board of Directors

F-11



pursuant to a valuation process that includes valuation input from an independent appraiser and a stock price formula. The Board of Directors believes that the valuation process results in a value which represents a fair market value for the Class A common stock within a broad range of financial criteria. The Board of Directors reserves the right to alter the formula and valuation process.

        Basic earnings per share ("EPS") is computed by dividing income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding. Diluted EPS is computed similar to basic EPS, except the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding is increased to include the effect of dilutive common stock equivalents, which is comprised of stock options and other stock awards granted to employees under stock-based compensation plans that were outstanding during the period.

Concentration of Credit Risk

        Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash equivalents, accounts receivable, short-term investments in marketable securities, foreign currency forward exchange contracts and long-term receivables.

        The Company invests its available cash principally in U.S. Government and agency securities, corporate obligations, asset-backed and mortgage-backed securities, municipal debt and commercial paper and has established guidelines relative to diversification and maturities in an effort to maintain safety and liquidity. These guidelines are periodically reviewed and modified to take advantage of trends in yields and interest rates.

        Concentrations of credit risk with respect to receivables have been limited because the Company's principal customers are the various agencies of the U.S. Government and commercial customers engaged in work for the U.S. Government. Due to continuing economic challenges in the telecommunications market, the Company has concentration of credit risk on certain receivables from the regional Bell operating companies ("RBOCs") and other telecommunications customers.

Foreign Currency

        Financial statements of international subsidiaries, for which the functional currency is the local currency, are translated into U.S. dollars using the exchange rate at each balance sheet date for assets and liabilities and a weighted average exchange rate for revenues, expenses, gains and losses. Translation adjustments are recorded as accumulated other comprehensive income in stockholders' equity.

Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss and Other Comprehensive Loss

        The Company's accumulated other comprehensive loss is comprised of foreign currency translation adjustments, unrealized gains or losses on the Company's available-for-sale marketable securities,

F-12



unrealized gains and losses on derivative instruments and minimum pension liability adjustments as follows:

 
  January 31
 
 
  2004

  (In millions)

 
Accumulated other comprehensive loss:              
  Foreign currency translation adjustments   $ (2 ) $ (3 )
  Unrealized net gain on marketable securities     2     9  
  Unrealized net loss on derivative instruments     (16 )   (10 )
  Minimum pension liability adjustments     (14 )   (10 )
   
 
 
    $ (30 ) $ (14 )
   
 
 

        As of January 31, 2004, approximately $2 million of the unrealized net loss on derivative instruments is expected to be reclassified into income within the next twelve months.

        Comprehensive income consists of net income and other comprehensive loss. Other comprehensive loss refers to revenues, expenses, gains and losses that under GAAP are included in comprehensive income but are excluded from net income as these amounts are recorded directly as an adjustment to stockholders' equity, net of tax and are as follows:

 
  Year ended January 31

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

        In December 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued a revision to FASB Interpretation No. 46 ("FIN 46R") "Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities," which was originally issued in January 2003. FIN 46R defines variable interest entities and establishes standards for determining under what circumstances variable interest entities should be consolidated by their primary

F-13



beneficiary. The provisions of FIN 46R are effective immediately for all arrangements entered into after December 31, 2003. The Company has not entered into any arrangements it believes are variable interest entities since December 31, 2003. For those arrangements that existed prior to December 31, 2003, the Company is required to adopt the provisions of FIN 46R effective February 1, 2005. The Company is in the process of determining whether any of its unconsolidated joint ventures meet the definition of a variable interest entity and possess the characteristics for consolidation. Therefore, the Company has not yet determined the effect, if any, the adoption of FIN 46R will have on its consolidated financial position or results of operations.

        In December 2003, the FASB revised SFAS No. 132, "Employers' Disclosures about Pensions and Other Postretirement Benefits," which is effective for the Company's year ended January 31, 2004. This revised statement requires certain quarterly disclosures and additional annual disclosures about plan assets, the benefits expected to be paid and the contributions expected to be made in future years. The Company has adopted SFAS No. 132 and provided the required disclosures in Note 11. SFAS No. 132 was related to disclosures only, consequently, adoption of the revised SFAS No. 132 did not have an effect on the Company's consolidated financial position or results of operations.

        In May 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 150, "Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity," which was effective for financial instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003, and otherwise was effective for the Company's quarter beginning August 1, 2003. SFAS No. 150 establishes standards for how an issuer classifies and measures certain financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity and requires an issuer to classify a financial instrument as a liability or an asset under certain circumstances as defined in SFAS No. 150. The adoption of SFAS No. 150 did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial position or results of operations.

Gains on Issuance of Stock by Subsidiary

        Gains on issuances of shares of stock by a subsidiary are reflected as equity transactions and recorded directly to additional paid-in capital.

Reclassifications

        Certain amounts from previous years have been reclassified in the accompanying consolidated financial statements to conform to the 2004 presentation.

Accounting Change

        Effective February 1, 2002, the Company adopted SFAS No. 142, which changed the accounting for goodwill from an amortization approach to an impairment-only approach. Upon adoption, the Company did not have a transitional goodwill impairment charge and, therefore, the Company did not have a cumulative effect of an accounting change.

        Effective February 1, 2001, the Company adopted SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities," as amended. SFAS No. 133 establishes accounting and reporting standards requiring that derivative instruments, including derivative instruments embedded in other contracts, be recorded on the balance sheet as either an asset or liability measured at its fair value. SFAS No. 133 also requires that changes in the fair value of derivative instruments be recognized currently in results of operations unless specific hedge accounting criteria are met. If the derivative is designated as a cash flow hedge, the effective portions of changes in the fair value of the derivative are recorded in other comprehensive income and are recognized in the income statement when the hedged

F-14



item affects earnings. Ineffective portions of changes in the fair value of cash flow hedges are recognized in earnings. If the derivative is designated as a fair value hedge, the changes in the fair value of the derivative and the hedged item attributable to the hedged risk are recognized in earnings. The adoption of SFAS No. 133 on February 1, 2001, resulted in a cumulative effect of an accounting change in 2002, net of tax, which increased net income by $1 million.

Note 2—Business Segment Information:

        The Company provides diversified professional and technical services involving the application of scientific, engineering and management expertise to solve complex technical problems for a broad range of government and commercial customers in the U.S. and abroad and is also a provider of software, engineering and consulting services, advanced research and development, technical training and other services to the telecommunications industry. These services frequently involve computer and systems technology. The Company also designs and develops high-technology products. These products include customized and standard hardware and software, such as automatic equipment identification technology, sensors and nondestructive imaging and security instruments. Product revenues represented 2%, 2% and 1% of consolidated revenues in 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively.

        The Company defines its reporting segments using the management approach, which is based on the way the chief operating decision maker ("CODM") manages the operations within the Company for allocation of resources, decision making and performance assessment.

        Using the management approach, the Company has three reportable segments: Regulated, Non-Regulated Telecommunications and Non-Regulated Other. The Company's operating business units ("BU"), on which performance is assessed, are aggregated into the Regulated, Non-Regulated Telecommunications or Non-Regulated Other segments, depending on the nature of the customers, the contractual requirements and the regulatory environment governing the BUs' services.

        BUs in the Regulated segment provide technical services and products through contractual arrangements as either a prime contractor or subcontractor to other contractors, primarily for departments and agencies of the U.S. Government. Operations in the Regulated segment are subject to specific regulatory accounting and contracting guidelines such as Cost Accounting Standards and Federal Acquisition Regulations. BUs in the Non-Regulated Telecommunications and the Non-Regulated Other segments provide technical services and products primarily to customers in commercial markets. Generally, operations in the Non-Regulated Telecommunications and Non-Regulated Other segments are not subject to specific regulatory accounting or contracting guidelines. For 2004, 2003 and 2002, the Company's Telcordia subsidiary made up the Non-Regulated Telecommunications segment.

        The accounting policies of the reportable segments are the same as those described in Note 1, except that the internal measure of operating income before income taxes ("segment operating income") excludes losses on impaired intangible assets, non-recurring gains or losses on sales of business units, subsidiary common stock and similar items, and includes equity in the income or loss of unconsolidated affiliates and the minority interest in income or loss of consolidated subsidiaries. Certain corporate expenses are reflected in segment operating income based on agreed-upon allocations to the segments or as required by Government Cost Accounting Standards. Corporate expense variances to these allocations and an internal interest charge or credit ("Cost of Capital") are retained in the corporate line item. In certain circumstances, for management purposes as determined by the CODM, certain revenue and expense items are excluded from the evaluation of a BU's operating performance. Those revenue and expense items excluded from the BU's performance

F-15



reporting are reflected in the corporate line item. Elimination of intersegment revenues is also reflected in the corporate line item. Sales between segments were $29 million, $37 million and $47 million in 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively, and were recorded at cost. Asset information by segment is not a key measure of performance. However, the Company does use asset information to calculate an internal interest charge or credit and allocates this Cost of Capital to the BUs, which is included in segment operating income. The Company also monitors capital expenditures by BUs. Interest expense, as reported in the consolidated financial statements, is primarily recorded at the corporate level.

        The Company formed SAIC Venture Capital Corporation and Telcordia Venture Capital Corporation to manage its investments in publicly traded and private technology companies. The Company may also spin off technologies that are considered non-strategic but may bring future value from an investment perspective. These activities are of an investment nature and are not reported to the CODM as part of the core operating segments of the Company and, therefore are shown as "Investment activities" in the reconciliation of segment financial information to the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

        As discussed in Note 21, prior year segment information has been conformed to the 2003 presentation of INTESA as discontinued operations. Therefore, 2002 segment information no longer reflects operating results of INTESA.

        During 2004, 2003 and 2002, approximately 74%, 69% and 61%, respectively, of the Company's consolidated revenues were attributable to prime contracts with the U.S. Government or to subcontracts with other contractors engaged in work for the U.S. Government and are reflected in the Regulated segment revenues. Revenues from the U.S. Army represent 12% and 11% of consolidated revenues in 2004 and 2003, respectively, while revenues from the U.S. Navy represent 11% and 10% of consolidated revenues in 2004 and 2003, respectively. No other customer or single contract accounted for revenues greater than 10% of the Company's consolidated revenues in 2004, 2003 and 2002.

At January 31, 2003, aggregate gross unrealized losses were $1 million and gross unrealized gains were $16 million, of which $11 million was attributable to equity securities. No other investment category had significant gross unrealized gains. Substantially all of the unrealized losses at January 31, 2004 have been in a loss position for less than twelve months.

        At January 31, 2004, $660 million of investments in debt securities have maturities of one year or less, and $605 million of investments in debt securities have maturities of two to five years. Actual maturities may differ from contractual maturities as a result of the Company's intent to sell these securities prior to maturity date and as a result of features of the securities that enable either the Company, the issuer, or both to redeem these securities in part or in full at an earlier date.

  (In millions)

Receivables less allowance for doubtful accounts of $10 million and $28 million at January 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively:

  Unbilled     392     272
  Contract retentions     18     24
   
 
    $ 1,367   $ 1,128
   
 

        Provision expense for allowance for doubtful accounts was $5 million, $3 million and $19 million in 2004, 2003, and 2002, respectively. Unbilled receivables at January 31, 2004 and 2003 include $46 million and $50 million, respectively, related to costs incurred on projects for which the Company has been requested by the customer to begin work under a new contract or extend work under an existing contract, and for which formal contracts or contract modifications have not been executed at the end of the year. The balance of unbilled receivables consists of costs and fees billable on contract completion or other specified events, the majority of which is expected to be billed and collected within one year. Contract retentions are billed when the Company has negotiated final indirect rates with the U.S. Government and, once billed, are subject to audit and approval by outside third parties. Consequently, the timing of collection of retention balances is outside the Company's control. Based on the Company's historical experience, the majority of the retention balance is expected to be collected beyond one year.

Note 6—Acquisitions and Investments in Affiliates:

        At January 31, 2004, the Company has seven equity investments, accounted for under the equity method as described in Note 1, with the Company's ownership ranging from 30% to 50%. The carrying value of the Company's equity method investments was $28 million and $25 million at January 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively, which includes the excess of the Company's equity investments over its equity in the underlying net assets of $4 million and $3 million, respectively. The Company also has cost method investments of $73 million and $83 million at January 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively.

        The Company completed acquisitions of certain business assets and companies in 2004, 2003 and 2002, which individually were not considered significant business combinations in the year acquired. In some cases, the Company acquired all the issued and outstanding common stock of certain companies while in other cases, the Company acquired certain specific assets and liabilities. All of these acquisitions have been accounted for under the purchase method of accounting and the operations of the companies acquired have been included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements from their respective dates of acquisition. The aggregate purchase price was allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based upon their estimated fair values. The aggregate excess of the purchase price over the fair value of tangible assets acquired has been allocated to other identifiable intangible assets and goodwill.

        In 2004, the Company completed eleven acquisitions for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $280 million, which consisted of approximately $194 million in cash (net of cash

F-20



received), approximately 1 million shares of the Company's common stock which had a fair value of approximately $47 million on the dates of issuance, other consideration of $2 million and future acquisition payments of $37 million. The amount of purchase price assigned to identifiable intangible assets and goodwill was $43 million and $215 million, respectively. Additional potential contingent payments related to these acquisitions were approximately $11 million, payable through 2006, of which $7 million will be treated as incremental purchase price. These acquisitions have been recorded based on preliminary financial information. Other than potential contingent payments, the Company does not anticipate a material change to the aggregate purchase price or assets acquired and liabilities assumed. These acquisitions in the aggregate are not considered material business combinations for financial reporting; therefore, pro forma financial information is not presented. The weighted average amortization period for the acquired intangible assets is approximately three years, and approximately $57 million of the acquired goodwill is tax deductible.

        In 2003, the Company completed four acquisitions for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $16 million, which consisted of approximately $9 million in cash, $6 million in shares of the Company's common stock and future acquisition payments of $1 million. The amount of purchase price assigned to identifiable intangible assets and goodwill was $1 million and $14 million, respectively. Potential contingent payments related to these acquisitions were approximately $3 million, of which $1 million was paid in 2004. The remaining payment of $2 million is payable through 2005 and will be treated as incremental purchase price.

        In 2002, the Company completed five acquisitions for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $17 million, which consisted of approximately $15 million in cash and future acquisition payments of $2 million. Approximately $10 million of the purchase price was assigned to goodwill. At January 31, 2004, potential contingent payments related to these acquisitions were approximately $4 million, payable in 2005, of which none will be treated as incremental purchase price.

Note 7—Goodwill and Intangible Assets:

        Effective February 1, 2002, the Company implemented SFAS No. 142 and reclassified one intangible asset for assembled workforce of $2 million to goodwill. Under SFAS No. 142, the goodwill impairment test is a two-step process. The first step consists of estimating the fair values of each of the reporting units based on a discounted cash flow model using revenue and profit forecasts and comparing those estimated fair values with the carrying values, which includes the allocated goodwill. If the fair value is less than the carrying value, a second step is performed to compute the amount of the impairment by determining an implied fair value of goodwill. The implied fair value of goodwill is the residual fair value derived by deducting the fair value of a reporting unit's assets and liabilities from its estimated fair value calculated in step one. The impairment charge represents the excess of the carrying amount of the reporting units' goodwill over the implied fair value of their goodwill. SFAS No. 142 requires goodwill to be tested annually at the same time every year and when an event occurs or circumstances change such that it is reasonably possible that an impairment may exist. The Company selected January 31 as its annual testing date. The Company's annual assessment as of January 31, 2004 resulted in no impairment of goodwill.

        During 2004, the Company determined that a portion of the goodwill assigned to a reporting unit in the Regulated segment had become impaired as a result of the loss of certain significant contracts and proposals related to that reporting unit. During 2003, the Company determined that goodwill assigned to three reporting units in the Regulated segment had become impaired as a result of the loss of certain significant contracts and proposals related to those reporting units. The impairment charges, representing the excess of the reporting units' carrying amount over their fair value, were based on a

F-21



discounted cash flow model using revenue and profit forecasts for the next five years. Total goodwill impairment charges were $7 million, $13 million and $3 million in 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively.

        The changes in the carrying amount of goodwill by segment as of January 31, 2004 are as follows:

        Software and technology with a gross carrying value of $19 million and other intangible assets with a gross carrying value of $4 million became fully amortized at January 31, 2003 and, therefore, are no longer reflected in the gross carrying value at January 31, 2004. Amortization expense related to amortizable intangible assets was $11 million, $7 million and $10 million for 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively. Based on the intangible assets as of January 31, 2004, the estimated annual amortization expense of intangible assets for the years ending January 31 is as follows:

Year ending January 31

    $ 60
   

        Actual amortization expense to be reported in future periods could differ from these estimates as a result of acquisitions, divestitures, impairments and other factors.

        In 2004, 2003 and 2002, the Company did not recognize an impairment loss on intangible assets since there were no circumstances or events that indicated a possible impairment.

Note 8—Derivative Instruments:

        The Company is exposed to certain market risks which are inherent in certain transactions entered into in the normal course of business. They include sales contracts denominated in foreign currencies, investments in equity securities and exposure to changing interest rates. The Company has a risk management policy in place which is used to assess and manage cash flow and fair value exposures. The policy permits the use of derivative instruments with certain restrictions and appropriate authorization. The Company presently uses derivative instruments to manage exposures to foreign currency and interest rate risks and uses natural hedges to minimize exposure for net investments in foreign subsidiaries. The Company does not hold derivative instruments for trading or speculative purposes.

Interest Rate Risk

        In June 2003, the Company modified its prior plan for financing the $91 million purchase of land and buildings under two operating leases (Note 16) and issued $300 million of fixed rate debt (Note 13). In anticipation of this debt issuance, the Company entered into interest rate lock

F-23



agreements on May 29, 2003 to lock in the effective borrowing rate on portions of the anticipated debt financing. Due to declines in interest rates from the dates of entering into the treasury lock contracts to the date of the debt issuance, the Company was required to pay $5 million to settle the treasury lock contracts upon the debt issuance. This loss of $5 million before income taxes is being amortized to interest expense over the term of the related debt. The treasury lock contracts were designated as cash flow hedges that were fully effective, therefore, the net of tax loss of $3 million was recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss in stockholders' equity.

        The Company entered into four forward starting interest rate swap agreements in January 2002 ("2002 swap agreements") pursuant to its previous plan to use five-year variable interest rate mortgage to finance the purchase of the land and buildings noted above. The mortgage financing would have required payments to a third party lender based on a variable interest rate. Under the terms of the 2002 swap agreements, the Company will either pay to or receive from the swap agreements' counterparty an amount which would effectively have made the net cash outflow a fixed amount. The 2002 swap agreements were designated as cash flow hedges and were fully effective through May 29, 2003 with cumulative net of tax losses of $9 million recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss in stockholders' equity. As of May 29, 2003, the 2002 swap agreements were no longer designated in a cash flow hedging relationship and, therefore, all future changes in fair value are recorded directly into income through August 2008. The cumulative loss before income taxes of $14 million on the 2002 swap agreements is being amortized as additional interest expense over the five-year period from August 2003 through August 2008.

        In conjunction with the modified financing plan which resulted in the issuance of fixed rate debt in June 2003, on May 29, 2003, the Company entered into additional interest rate swap agreements ("2003 swap agreements") to offset the effects of the 2002 swap agreements. The net change in the fair values of the 2002 and 2003 swap agreements since May 29, 2003 was not material and has been recorded as additional interest expense for 2004. At January 31, 2004, the combined fair value of the 2003 and 2002 swap agreements was $13 million, of which $3 million and $10 million are reflected in other accrued liabilities and other long-term liabilities, respectively. At January 31, 2003, the fair value of the 2002 swap agreements of $10 million was reflected in other long-term liabilities.

        In June 2002, the Company entered into a series of treasury lock contracts to economically lock in the effective borrowing rate on portions of the $800 million of fixed rate debt (Note 13). Due to declines in interest rates from the dates of entering into the treasury lock contracts to the date of the debt issuance, the Company was required to pay $8 million in 2003 to settle the treasury lock contracts upon the debt issuance. Since the treasury lock contracts were designated as cash flow hedges that were fully effective, the net of tax loss of $5 million was recorded in 2003 as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income in stockholders' equity and is being amortized to interest expense over the terms of the related debt.

        In February 2004, the Company entered into new interest rate swap agreements ("2004 swap agreements") to convert the fixed interest payments on the $95 million 6.75% notes (Note 13) to a floating rate to better balance the fixed and floating rate debt obligations.

Foreign Currency Risk

        Although the majority of the Company's transactions are in U.S. dollars, some transactions are denominated in foreign currencies. The Company's objective in managing its exposure to foreign currency rate fluctuations is to mitigate adverse fluctuations in earnings and cash flows associated with foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations. The Company currently manages cash flow exposure of

F-24



receivables, payables and anticipated transactions through the use of natural hedges and foreign currency forward exchange contracts. Foreign currency forward exchange contracts are contracts requiring the Company to exchange a stated quantity of foreign currency for a fixed amount of a second currency, typically U.S. dollars. At January 31, 2004, currencies hedged were the British pound, Canadian dollar, the Euro, the Swedish krona and the U.S. dollar. The Company has designated certain of its foreign currency forward exchange contracts as cash flow hedges of transactions forecasted to occur by December 2005, primarily related to sales contracts and receivables. The effective portion of the change in the fair value of these derivatives is recorded in comprehensive income and recognized in the income statement when the related hedged item affects earnings. Other foreign currency forward exchange contracts manage similar exposures but do not qualify for hedge accounting due to changes in terms of the anticipated transactions. In 2004, those contracts designated as cash flow hedges were fully effective and a net of tax loss of $1 million was recognized as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income in stockholders' equity. Net loss on contracts designated as cash flow hedges in 2003 was not material.

Equity Securities Price Risk

        The Company's portfolio of publicly-traded equity securities is subject to market price risk and there are instances where the Company will use derivative instruments such as equity collars to manage this risk of potential loss in fair value resulting from decreases in market prices. At January 31, 2004 and 2003, the Company did not hold any derivative instruments related to its portfolio of publicly-traded equity securities. The equity collars previously held to mitigate the risk of significant price fluctuations of the Company's investment in VeriSign, Inc. ("VeriSign") and Amdocs Limited ("Amdocs") were liquidated at various dates throughout 2003 and 2002. In 2003 and 2002, these derivative instruments were designated as fair value hedges of the underlying marketable equity securities and, therefore, the changes in fair value of the derivative instruments and the hedged items attributable to the hedged risk were recorded in the statement of income. The Company recorded a net loss before income taxes of $45 million in 2003 and a net gain before income taxes of $31 million in 2002 for the ineffective portion of changes in the fair value of equity collars (Note 19).

Other Derivatives

        Through its venture capital subsidiaries, the Company holds investments in equity securities of private and publicly-held companies. Certain of these investments include warrants to purchase equity securities of these companies. Warrants that can be net settled at the time of exercise, which means the Company would receive the difference between the exercise price and fair value of the additional shares, are deemed derivative financial instruments and are not designated as hedging instruments. Changes in the value of these derivatives are reflected in income. In 2004, net loss before income taxes was not material compared to $3 million and $2 million in 2003 and 2002, respectively. The changes in fair value are reflected in "Net gain (loss) on marketable securities and other investments, including impairment losses" (Note 19). The fair value of these instruments was not material at January 31, 2004 or 2003.

Note 9—Revolving Credit Facilities:

        The Company has two revolving credit facilities ("credit facilities") totaling $750 million with a group of financial institutions that provide for (i) a five-year revolving credit facility of up to $500 million, which allows borrowings until July 2007 and (ii) a 364-day revolving credit facility of up to $250 million, which expires on July 28, 2004. Borrowings under the credit facilities are unsecured and

F-25



bear interest at a rate determined, at the Company's option, based on either LIBOR plus a margin or a defined base rate. The Company pays a facility fee on the total commitment amount and a fee if utilization exceeds 50% of the total commitment amount. During 2004 and 2003, the Company did not borrow under either of its credit facilities. During 2002, the maximum and average amounts outstanding under the credit facility were $120 million and $31 million, respectively, and the weighted average interest rate was 4.3% based upon average daily balances.

        During 2004, the Company entered into a foreign customer contract with bonding requirements, some of which have been met through the issuance of standby letters of credit under the five year revolving credit facility in the approximate dollar equivalent of $113 million. The standby letters of credit reduce the amount available for borrowings under the five-year revolving credit facility. The Company expects to utilize the five-year revolving credit facility for such purposes up to a total approximate U.S. dollar equivalent of $150 million through August 2004, and any such utilization would further reduce the amount available for borrowing. The Company pays fees for the standby letters of credit issued under the five-year revolving credit facility, but the outstanding standby letters of credit are not considered borrowings and the Company does not incur related interest cost.

        As of January 31, 2004, the entire $250 million under the 364-day revolving credit facility was available and $387 million of the five-year revolving credit facility was available. These credit facilities contain customary affirmative and negative covenants. The financial covenants contained in the credit facilities require the Company to maintain a trailing four quarter interest coverage ratio of not less than 3.5 to 1.0 and a ratio of consolidated funded debt to a trailing four quarter earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA") of not more than 2.75 to 1.0. These covenants also restrict certain of the Company's activities, including, among other things, the Company's ability to create liens, dispose of assets, merge or consolidate with other entities, and create guaranty obligations. The credit facilities also contain customary events of default, including, among others, defaults based on certain bankruptcy and insolvency events; nonpayment; cross-defaults to other debt; breach of specified covenants; change of control and material inaccuracy of representations and warranties. As of January 31, 2004, the Company was in compliance with all financial covenants under the credit facilities.

Note 10—Employee Benefit Plans:

        The Company has one principal 401(k) Profit Sharing Plan ("401(k)"), which is the result of the merger of the Company's Profit Sharing Retirement Plan with the Company's Cash or Deferred Arrangement effective November 28, 2003. The 401(k) allows eligible participants to defer a portion of their income through contributions. Such deferrals are fully vested, are not taxable to the participant until distributed from the 401(k) upon termination, retirement, permanent disability or death and may be matched by the Company. Participants' interests in the Company's matching and profit sharing contributions vest 20% per year in the first through fifth year of service. Participants also become fully vested upon reaching age 591/2, permanent disability or death. The Company's contributions charged to income under the 401(k) were $48 million, $42 million and $54 million for 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively.

        The Company has an Employee Stock Retirement Plan ("ESRP") in which eligible employees participate. Cash or stock contributions to the ESRP are based upon amounts determined annually by the Board of Directors and are allocated to participants' accounts based on their annual compensation. The Company recognizes the fair value of the Company's common stock or the amount of cash contributed in the year of contribution as compensation expense. The vesting requirements for the ESRP are the same as the Company's contributions to the 401(k). Any participant who leaves the

F-26



Company, whether by retirement or otherwise, may be able to elect to receive either cash or shares of Company common stock as a distribution from their account. Shares of Company common stock distributed from the ESRP bear a limited put option that, if exercised, would require the Company to repurchase all or a portion of the shares at their then current fair value during two specified 60-day periods following distribution. If the shares are not put to the Company during the specified periods, the shares no longer bear a put option, and the Company will not be required to repurchase the shares. At January 31, 2003, shares distributed from the ESRP with the limited put option represented a potential repurchase obligation of $38 million. During 2004, only $2 million of the total outstanding potential repurchase amount at January 31, 2003 was actually put to the Company. At January 31, 2004, shares distributed from the ESRP that bear a limited put option represented a potential repurchase obligation of $19 million. The ESRP held 50 million shares of common stock at January 31, 2004 and 2003 with a fair value of $1.8 billion and $1.4 billion, respectively. Contributions charged to income under the ESRP were $55 million, $52 million and $29 million for 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively.

        Previously, the Company sponsored two contributory savings plans for Telcordia employees. During 2002, the two plans were merged into the Telcordia Technologies 401(k) Savings Plan. The plan allows eligible Telcordia employees to defer a portion of their pre-tax income through contributions to the plan and contribute a portion of their income on an after-tax basis. Such deferrals are fully vested, are not taxable to the participant until distributed upon termination, retirement, permanent disability or death and may be matched by the Company. The Company's matching contributions charged to income were $13 million, $16 million and $21 million for 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively.

        The Company has two principal bonus compensation plans, the Bonus Compensation Plan and the Annual Incentive Plan ("AIP"), which provide for bonuses to reward outstanding performance. The AIP was assumed in connection with the acquisition of Telcordia in 1998. Bonuses are paid in the form of cash, fully vested or vesting shares of the Company's common stock. Awards of vesting shares of the Company's common stock vest at the rate of 20%, 20%, 20% and 40% after one, two, three and four years, respectively. The fair market value of these vesting shares awarded is recorded as unearned compensation which is included in stockholders' equity and amortized over the vesting period. The amounts charged to income under these plans were $129 million, $96 million and $97 million for 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively.

        The Company has a Stock Compensation Plan and Management Stock Compensation Plan, together referred to as the "Stock Compensation Plans." The Stock Compensation Plans provide for awards of share units to eligible employees, which generally correspond to shares of the Company's common stock, held in trust for the benefit of participants. Participants' interests in these share units vest on a seven year schedule at the rate of one-third at the end of each of the fifth, sixth and seventh years following the date of the award. The fair market value of shares awarded under these plans is recorded as unearned compensation which is included in stockholders' equity and amortized over the vesting period. The amounts charged to income under these plans were $7 million, $7 million and $6 million for 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively.

        The Company also has an Employee Stock Purchase Plan ("ESPP") which allows eligible employees to purchase shares of the Company's common stock at a discount of 15% of the existing fair market value. In 2002, the discount was 10%. There are no charges to income under this plan because it is a non-compensatory plan. The pro forma effect on net income and earnings per share of compensation expense under SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation" is presented in Note 1. At January 31, 2004, 5 million shares of the Company's common stock were reserved for issuance under the ESPP.

F-27



        The Company maintains two deferred compensation plans for the benefit of key executives and directors and allows eligible participants to elect to defer a portion of their compensation. The Company makes no contributions under the Keystaff Deferral Plan but does credit participant accounts for deferred compensation amounts and interest earned. Interest is accrued based on the Moody's Seasoned Corporate Bond Rate (6.71% in 2004). Deferred balances will generally be paid upon the later of the attainment of age 65, ten years of plan participation or retirement, unless participants obtain approval for an early pay-out. Under the Key Executive Stock Deferral Plan, eligible participants may elect to defer a portion of their compensation into a trust established by the Company which invests in shares of the Company's common stock. The Company makes no contributions to the accounts of participants. Deferred balances will generally be paid upon retirement or termination.

Note 11—Pension and Other Postretirement Benefit Plans:

        The Company has four defined benefit pension plans and two postretirement benefit plans for employees and retirees of the Company's Telcordia subsidiary. Three of the pension plans are unfunded, non-qualified plans that provide benefits to certain members of management at Telcordia. In addition, the Company also has a foreign defined benefit pension plan for certain employees in the United Kingdom.

        The following tables set forth the funded status and amounts recognized in the consolidated balance sheets for the Company's defined benefit pension plans and other postretirement benefit plans. Pension benefits data includes Telcordia's qualified pension plan and the foreign pension plan as well as the three unfunded, non-qualified pension plans at Telcordia. The Telcordia pension and postretirement benefit plans have a December 31 measurement date while the foreign pension plan has a January 31

        The accumulated benefit obligation for all defined benefit pension plans was $1.5 billion and $1.4 billion at January 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively. The fair value of the pension assets of the foreign pension plan was less than the accumulated benefit obligation at January 31, 2004 and 2003. As a result, an additional minimum pension liability adjustment, net of tax, of $4 million and $10 million was included in other comprehensive income in 2004 and 2003, respectively.

        As described in Note 20, Telcordia's workforce reductions resulted in special termination pension benefits of $5 million, $13 million and $62 million in 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively, and a curtailment gain of $10 million in 2002 attributable to the employees that were part of the reduction in workforce. In addition, a workforce reduction in the United Kingdom resulted in special termination benefits of $4 million in 2003. These amounts are included in the determination of net periodic pension cost in the table above.

        During 2004, in response to escalating medical, dental and prescription drug claim costs combined with lower revenues and profits, Telcordia redesigned the postretirement health and welfare benefits offered to current and future retirees who are also participants in Telcordia's traditional pension plan. The changes were effective January 1, 2004 and were communicated to all employees and retirees on September 26, 2003. The changes include increased participant cost sharing for medical benefits and prescription drug coverage, a future limit on Telcordia's contribution for annual enrollment for employees that retire after January 1, 2004, reduction of the retiree life insurance benefit, and elimination of dental coverage. Retirees will generally be permitted to buy additional life insurance coverage at group rates at their own expense. As a result of the plan changes, the Company remeasured the plans' obligations as of the communication date using updated assumptions, including the medical inflation trend rate and discount rate. The changes to the medical and life insurance

F-30



benefits are plan amendments that reduced the remeasured accumulated postretirement benefit obligation from $295 million to $210 million, a decrease of $85 million, which will be amortized as a decrease of the net periodic benefit cost over the current estimated remaining service life of 6 years for the plan participants. Because the elimination of dental coverage is considered a plan curtailment for financial reporting purposes, the Company recognized a non-cash gain before income taxes of $16 million, which is included in the determination of net periodic benefit cost for the postretirement benefits other than pensions, and which was reflected in cost of revenues in our statement of income. This non-cash gain is the result of the elimination of the accumulated postretirement dental benefit obligation of $9 million and the recognition of previously unrecognized actuarial gain and unrecognized prior service costs of $7 million.

Actuarial Assumptions

        The weighted-average assumptions used in determining the benefit obligations and the net periodic benefit cost of pension and other postretirement benefits were as follows:

 
  Pension benefits
  Postretirement benefits
other than pensions

 
 
  2004
  2003
  2004
  2003
 
Assumptions used to determine benefit obligations at the plans' measurement dates:                  
  Discount rate   6.00 % 6.50 % 6.00 % 6.50 %
  Rate of compensation increase   4.75 % 4.75 %     4.75 %
  Health care cost trend rate assumed for next year (initial rate)           12.00 % 9.50 %
  Rate to which the cost trend rate is assumed to decline (ultimate rate)           6.00 % 5.25 %
  Year that the rate reaches the ultimate trend rate           2012   2009  

Assumptions used to determine net periodic benefit cost for the year ended January 31:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 
  Discount rate   6.50 % 7.25 % 6.50 % 7.25 %
  Expected return on plan assets   8.00 % 8.00 % 8.00 % 8.00 %
  Rate of compensation increase   4.75 % 4.75 % 4.75 % 4.75 %

        The long-term rate of return assumption represents the expected average earnings on funds invested or to be invested by the plans. This return is determined in consultation with investment advisors and is based on a variety of factors including long-term historical market returns for the various asset classes in the plans, investment advisors' views of expected future long-term returns for asset classes in the plans and review of peer data. A weighting of these asset class returns, based on the anticipated long-term allocation of the asset classes in the plans, is performed to determine an overall average expected long-term rate of return.

F-31



        Assumed health care cost trend rates have a significant effect on the amounts reported for the postretirement health benefit programs. A one-percentage point change in the assumed health care cost trend rates would have the following effects:

Effect on total service and interest cost components   $ 1   $ (1 )
Effect on postretirement benefit obligation   $ 14   $ (12 )

Plan Assets

        As of the measurement date, pension and life insurance benefit plan assets were allocated as follows:

 
  Pension plans
  Life insurance
benefit plan

 
 
  2004
  2003
  2004
  2003
 
Domestic equity securities   43 % 42 % 64 % 59 %
Debt securities   31 % 35 % 36 % 41 %
International equity securities   19 % 17 %        
Real estate   7 % 6 %        
   
 
 
 
 
    100 % 100 % 100 % 100 %
   
 
 
 
 

        The Company's overall investment strategy for all pension plan assets is to utilize a total return investment approach whereby a mix of equities, fixed income and real estate investments are used to maximize the long-term return of plan assets for a prudent level of risk. Risk tolerance is established through consideration of plan demographics, plan liabilities, plan funded status and overall corporate financial condition. The investment portfolio contains a diversified blend of both domestic and international equity securities, fixed income securities, real estate investments and derivatives. Derivatives may be used to mitigate market exposure in an efficient and timely manner; however, derivatives may not be used to leverage the portfolio beyond the market value of the underlying investments. The assets in the life insurance benefit plan are passively managed through an allocation to a debt index fund and an equity index fund. Target asset allocation as prescribed by the investment strategy is substantially similar to actual allocation at measurement date.

Cash Flows

        During 2005, the Company expects to contribute approximately $5 million to the defined benefit pension plans and $10 million to the Telcordia other postretirement benefit plans. Estimated benefit

F-32



payments for the next ten years, which reflect expected future service, as appropriate, are expected to be paid by the plans as follows:

Other

        The Company also makes contributions to a defined benefit pension plan for employees working on one U.S. Government contract. As part of the contractual agreement, the customer reimburses the Company for contributions made to the plan. If the Company were to cease to be the contractor as a result of a recompetition process, this defined benefit pension plan would transfer to the new contractor. In addition, certain employees at AMSEC LLC, a consolidated joint venture, continue to participate in a defined benefit pension and a retiree medical and life insurance plan sponsored by the other joint venture participant. AMSEC LLC recorded expense of $1 million, $2 million and $1 million in 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively, for payments made to the other joint venture partner for the cost of the benefits these plans provide.

Postretirement Health and Life Insurance Benefits

        In December 2003, the Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement and Modernization Act of 2003 ("the Act") was signed into law. The Act expanded Medicare by introducing a prescription drug benefit as well as a federal subsidy to sponsors of retiree health care benefit plans. In January 2004, the FASB issued Staff Position No. FAS 106-1, "Accounting and Disclosure Requirements Related to the Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement and Modernization Act of 2003," which permits the Company to make a one-time election to defer accounting for the effects of the Act until final authoritative guidance is issued. Because of various uncertainties related to this legislation, the FASB has not issued final authoritative guidance. Therefore, the Company has elected to defer recognition of the effects of the Act and depending on the transition provisions provided in the final guidance, the Company may be required to change previously reported information upon adoption of the new accounting standard. The accumulated postretirement benefit obligation and net periodic postretirement benefit costs disclosed in the tables above do not reflect the effects of the Act.

Subsequent Event

        Subsequent to the year ended January 31, 2004, Telcordia adopted and communicated to all participants a plan to redesign pension benefits. Effective January 1, 2005, the Company will be freezing the four defined benefit pension plans such that there will be no future cost accruals under these plans for service rendered after the effective date. Benefits earned based on past service prior to the effective date remain unchanged. In consideration for future service, Telcordia will implement a

F-33



defined contribution plan in the form of a profit sharing and stock bonus plan in which eligible employees can participate. The redesign of pension benefits triggers a curtailment of the benefit obligation and a remeasurement of the plans as of the date of adoption. Therefore, in the first quarter of 2005, the plans' projected benefit obligations will be reduced to reflect the elimination of assumed future compensation increases on benefits earned to date. With the remeasurement, all actuarial assumptions will be reviewed and updated as appropriate. The remeasurement could impact the pension expense recognized in 2005, but the Company is unable to determine the impact until all assumptions have been updated.

        In conjunction with the acquisition of a business, in December 2003, the Company's 55% owned joint venture, AMSEC LLC, entered into a 3-year term note for $45 million ("3-year note") maturing December 1, 2006. The 3-year note is secured by certain assets of the joint venture. Principal is paid quarterly and interest is paid monthly. The interest rate is adjusted monthly based on 30-day LIBOR plus 85 basis points and was 1.95% at January 31, 2004.

        In June 2003, the Company completed a private offering of $300 million of senior unsecured notes ("5.5% notes"). The 5.5% notes are due on July 1, 2033 with interest payable at 5.5% on a semi-annual basis beginning January 1, 2004. The note discounts, issuance costs and the loss on the treasury lock contracts (Note 8) are amortized to interest expense, which results in an effective interest rate of 5.8% for the 5.5% notes. In January 2004, the Company completed an exchange of substantially all the private notes for new notes registered with the SEC. These new registered notes are identical in all material respects to the terms of the notes issued in June 2003. The carrying values of the 5.5% notes exceeded the fair value by $17 million at January 31, 2004.

        In June 2002, the Company issued $550 million of 6.25% senior unsecured notes ("6.25% notes") and $250 million of 7.125% senior unsecured notes ("7.125% notes"). The 6.25% notes and the 7.125% notes are due on July 1, 2012 and July 1, 2032, respectively, with interest payable semi-annually beginning January 1, 2003. The note discounts, issuance costs and the loss on the treasury lock contracts (Note 8) are amortized to interest expense, which results in an effective interest rate of 6.5% for the 6.25% notes and 7.43% for the 7.125% notes. The fair values of the 6.25% notes and 7.125% notes exceeded the carrying value by $57 million and $40 million, respectively, at January 31, 2004.

        In January 1998, the Company issued $100 million of 6.75% notes with a nominal discount ("6.75% notes") which are due February 1, 2008 with interest payable semi-annually beginning August 1, 1998. The 6.75% notes have an effective interest rate of 8.3%, due principally to the amortization of a loss on a forward treasury lock agreement, the discount on issuance of the notes and underwriting fees associated with the offering. The fair value of the 6.75% notes exceeded the carrying value by $17 million at January 31, 2004. Subsequent to January 31, 2004, the Company entered into interest rate swaps as described in Note 8.

        The Company is subject to certain restrictions on the notes described above, such as limitations on liens, sale and leaseback transactions and consolidation, merger and sale of assets. As of January 31, 2004, the Company was in compliance with the restrictions.

        The Company has various other notes payable with interest rates from 2.5% to 6.0% that are due on various dates through 2016.

        Options to purchase 22 million shares of common stock at prices ranging from $28.90 to $33.06 per share were outstanding during 2003, but were not included in the computation of diluted EPS at January 31, 2003 because the effect of such options would be antidilutive. Such options expire at various dates through January 2008.

Note 15—Common Stock and Options:

        The Company has options outstanding under various stock option plans. Options are granted with exercise prices not less than the fair market value at the date of grant and for terms not greater than ten years. Options granted under these plans generally become exercisable 20%, 20%, 20%, and 40% after one, two, three and four years, respectively.

Note 16—Leases:

        The Company occupies most of its facilities under operating leases. Most of the leases require the Company to pay maintenance and operating expenses such as taxes, insurance and utilities and also contain renewal options extending the leases from one to twenty years. Certain of the leases contain purchase options and provisions for periodic rate escalations to reflect cost-of-living increases. Certain

F-38



equipment, primarily computer-related, is leased under short-term or cancelable operating leases. Rental expenses for facilities and equipment were $120 million, $132 million and $140 million in 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively, which is net of sublease income of $5 million, $19 million and $19 million in 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively.

        In August 2003, the Company exercised its options to purchase the land and buildings previously financed under synthetic leases that were accounted for as operating leases. The total purchase price of $91 million was financed from the proceeds of the June 2003 debt issuance (Note 13).

        In 2004, the Company was awarded a foreign customer contract that requires the Company to lease certain equipment under an operating lease from a subcontractor for ten years. The lease term commences as soon as the development and integration of the system under contract is completed and accepted by the customer in 2005. The terms of the customer contract and lease agreement provide that if the foreign customer defaults on its payments to the Company to cover the future lease payments, then the Company is not required to make the lease payments to the subcontractor. Accordingly, the maximum contingent lease liability of approximately $105 million at January 31, 2004 is not reflected in the future minimum lease commitments table below and such amount has not been recorded in the consolidated financial statements.

        The Company leases equipment for use on U.S. Government contracts through an arrangement with an unrelated leasing company. Because federal contracts are subject to annual renewals, the Company has the right to terminate these leases with the leasing company should the U.S. Government terminate its contract with the Company for convenience, non-renewal or lack of funding. If the U.S. Government terminated its contract with the Company for default or non-performance, the Company would be liable for the remaining lease payments. The maximum contingent lease liability remaining under these arrangements is $2 million. This contingent liability has not been recorded in the consolidated financial statements.

        Minimum lease commitments, primarily for facilities under all non-cancelable operating leases in effect at January 31, 2004 are as follows:

Year ending January 31

  Operating lease

        As of January 31, 2004, the Company has capital lease obligations of approximately $9 million that are payable over the next three years.

Note 17—Supplementary Income Statement and Cash Flow Information:

        Charges to costs and expenses for depreciation of property, plant and equipment and assets acquired under capital leases were $70 million, $89 million and $97 million for 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively.

F-39



        Included in selling, general and administrative expenses are independent research and development costs of $82 million, $86 million and $118 million in 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively.

        Total interest paid in 2004, 2003 and 2002 amounted to $73 million, $34 million and $14 million, respectively.

Note 18—Gain on Sale of Business Units, Net:

        In 2003, the Company recognized gains before income taxes of $5 million due to the settlement of contingent liabilities related to business units that were sold in prior years. In 2002, the Company recognized net gains before income taxes of $10 million from the sale of three business units and the settlement of contingent liabilities related to business units sold in 2001.

Note 19—Net Gain (Loss) on Marketable Securities and Other Investments, Including Impairment Losses:

        Net gain (loss) on marketable securities and other investments, including impairment losses, consists of the following:

 
  Year ended January 31
 
 
  2004
  2003
  2002
 
 
  (In millions)

 
Impairment losses   $ (19 ) $ (108 ) $ (467 )

Net (loss) gain on derivative instruments           (48 )   29  
Amdocs and Solect transaction                 21  
   
 
 
 
    $ 6   $ (134 ) $ (456 )
   
 
 
 

        The Company recognized impairment losses on certain marketable and private equity securities due to declines in fair market value which were deemed to be other-than-temporary. Of the total impairment losses in 2004, 2003 and 2002, $19 million, $87 million and $30 million, respectively, were impairments related to the Company's private equity securities. In 2003 and 2002, total impairment charges also included impairments on the Company's publicly traded equity securities of $21 million and $437 million, respectively.

        In 2004, the primary component of the net gain before income taxes from the sale of investments was a gain before income taxes of $17 million from the sale of the Company's investment in publicly-traded equity securities of Tellium, Inc. The remainder of the aggregate gain was related to sales of certain other investments. In 2003, the net gain before income taxes from the sale of investments includes a net gain before income taxes of $14 million related to the liquidation of all the Company's remaining shares and related equity collars in VeriSign and Amdocs. In 2003, the Company also recognized a net gain before income taxes of $8 million from the sale of certain other investments. The largest component of the net loss before income taxes for 2002 was the sale of VeriSign shares that resulted in a loss of $48 million, which was partially offset by a net gain before income taxes of $9 million from the sale of certain other investments.

        In 2004, the net loss before income taxes on derivative instruments was related to warrants to purchase additional equity securities in certain investments in private and publicly-held companies. As described in Note 8, as of January 31, 2004 and 2003, the Company no longer held derivative instruments related to its portfolio of publicly-traded equity securities. However, during 2003 and 2002,

F-40



the Company recognized a net loss before income taxes of $48 million and a net gain before income taxes of $29 million, respectively, primarily from changes in the fair value of its equity collars and warrants as described in Note 8.

        In 2002, the Company recognized a gain before income taxes of $21 million related to its former investment in Solect Technology Group ("Solect") which was acquired by Amdocs in 2001.

Note 20—Realignment and Restructuring Costs:

        In January 2004, the Company undertook an organizational realignment, primarily in the Regulated segment, to better align its operations with major customers and key markets and to create larger operating units. As a result, in 2004, the Company had involuntary workforce reductions of 260 employees and recorded related charges of $8 million in selling, general and administrative expenses (SG&A). The related accrued liabilities will be paid by July 2004. The one-time termination benefits consisted of severance benefits, extension of medical benefits and outplacement services aggregating $7 million and accelerated vesting stock compensation of $1 million.

        As in 2003 and 2002, the Company's Telcordia subsidiary had involuntary workforce reductions in 2004. The workforce was reduced by 640 employees in 2004 compared to 686 in 2003 and 2,100 in 2002 to realign Telcordia's staffing levels with lower telecommunications revenues. In addition, Telcordia closed down a customer training facility and an office facility in 2004 due to continual underutilization in 2004. In conjunction with the workforce reduction in 2002, the Company also recognized a non-cash gain of $10 million for the curtailment of pension benefits, $8 million of which is reflected in cost of revenues with the remaining balance reflected in selling, general and administrative expenses. There was no such gain in 2004 and 2003. The components of the Telcordia restructuring charge are as follows:

 
  Year ended January 31
 
  2004
  2003
  2002
 
  (In millions)

Special termination pension benefits   $ 5   $ 13   $ 62
Severance, extension of medical and outplacement services     9     1     20
Facilities costs     10     1     3
   
 
 
    $ 24   $ 15   $ 85
   
 
 

        The changes in the accrued liabilities related to the realignment and restructuring activities as of January 31, 2004 are as follows:

 
  January 31
 
 
  2004
  2003
 
 
  (In millions)

 
Beginning of the year   $ 1   $ 7  
Additions     27     2  
Payments     (7 )   (8 )
   
 
 
End of the year   $ 21   $ 1  
   
 
 

        The Telcordia severance and related benefits will be paid within the next twelve months while the facilities shutdown accrual will be paid out over the lease terms through 2013. Until July 1, 2003, the special termination pension benefits were funded through Telcordia's pension assets and allocated to

F-41



the participants' pension accounts as appropriate. These benefits are being paid from the pension trust as plan obligations and represents a non-cash charge to the Company. Commencing July 1, 2003, Telcordia discontinued using the pension assets to fund severance payments and started funding severance payments through cash flows from its operations. Telcordia has elected to resume funding potential severance payments as a special termination pension benefit from the pension plan as of April 1, 2004.

Note 21—Discontinued Operations:

        In January 1997, the Company formed a foreign joint venture, INTESA, with Venezuela's national oil company, PDVSA, to provide information technology services in Latin America. Since the formation of INTESA, the Company has held a 60% majority ownership in the joint venture with the remaining 40% owned by PDVSA. INTESA derived substantially all its revenues from an outsourcing services agreement with PDVSA. The basic term of the services agreement expired on June 30, 2002, but INTESA's services continued pursuant to the disentanglement phase of the services agreement. The parties negotiated for a possible renewal of the services agreement or purchase by PDVSA of SAIC's interest in INTESA, but as of January 31, 2003, no agreement was reached. Due to the suspension of operations, general work force strike and the relationship with PDVSA, the operations of the joint venture were not expected to and have not resumed. In 2003, INTESA was classified as discontinued operations. INTESA's revenues of $215 million and $324 million for 2003 and 2002, respectively, were part of the Non-Regulated Other segment and had represented 32% and 41% of Non-Regulated Other segment revenues for the respective years. An estimated loss of $7 million from a write-down of the Company's investment in INTESA was included in "Gain from discontinued operations of INTESA joint venture, net of income tax" for 2003. The effect of INTESA's income before income taxes, net of the loss on investment, was $3 million and $12 million for the years ended 2003 and 2002, respectively, and is reflected in "Gain from discontinued operations of INTESA joint venture, net of income tax" in the consolidated statements of income, net of related taxes of $3 million and $5 million for the respective years. Net assets of INTESA's discontinued operations are not significant.

Note 22—Commitments and Contingencies:

        The Company has various commitments as of January 31, 2004, which include outstanding letters of credit aggregating $186 million, principally related to guarantees on contracts with commercial and foreign customers, and outstanding surety bonds aggregating $83 million, principally related to performance and payment type bonds. Included in outstanding letters of credit is $113 million issued under the Company's five year revolving credit facility (Note 9).

        Telcordia instituted arbitration proceedings against Telkom South Africa as a result of a contract dispute. Telcordia is seeking to recover damages of approximately $130 million, plus interest at a rate of 15.5%. Telkom South Africa counterclaimed, seeking substantial damages from Telcordia, including repayment of approximately $97 million previously paid to Telcordia under the contract and the excess costs of reprocuring a replacement system, estimated by Telkom South Africa to be $234 million. In a Partial Award dated as of September 27, 2002, the arbitrator dismissed the counterclaims of Telkom South Africa and found that Telkom South Africa repudiated the contract. Telcordia initiated proceedings in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia to confirm the Partial Award. On July 20, 2003, the District Court dismissed Telcordia's petition to confirm the Partial Award, on the grounds that the court lacks personal jurisdiction over Telkom South Africa. Telcordia has appealed this ruling and a hearing before the U.S. Court of Appeals was held on April 1, 2004. In another set of proceedings, Telkom South Africa requested that the South African High Court set aside the Partial

F-42



Award, dismiss the Arbitrator and the International Court of Arbitration, and submit the dispute to a new arbitration panel in South Africa. On November 27, 2003, the South African High Court granted the relief requested by Telkom South Africa and ordered Telcordia to pay Telkom South Africa's legal costs for the High Court action. Telcordia filed a notice of appeal with the South African Supreme Court of Appeal of the South African High Court's decision. A hearing on Telcordia's application is scheduled for April 28, 2004. Due to the complex nature of the legal, factual and political considerations involved and the uncertainty of litigation in general, the outcome of the arbitration and the related court actions are not presently determinable. The Company does not have any assets or liabilities recorded related to this contract and the related legal proceedings as of January 31, 2004 and 2003.

        INTESA is involved in various legal proceedings. The Venezuelan Supreme Court has granted PDVSA's request for injunctive relief against INTESA on the basis of public interest of Venezuela, which obligates INTESA to transfer to PDVSA all the information technology and equipment that corresponds to PDVSA. PDVSA has taken certain actions, including denying INTESA access to certain of its facilities and assets, which the Company believes constitutes expropriation without compensation. On September 4, 2003, the Company filed a claim of approximately $10 million with the Overseas Protection Insurance Company, a U.S. governmental entity that provides insurance coverage against expropriation of U.S. business interests by foreign governments and instrumentalities ("OPIC"), on the basis that PDVSA and the Venezuelan government's conduct constituted the expropriation of our investment in INTESA without compensation. On February 24, 2004, OPIC made a finding that expropriation had occurred, but the value of the Company's claim has not been finalized. In addition, the Attorney General of Venezuela initiated a criminal investigation of INTESA alleging unspecified sabotage by INTESA employees. The SENIAT, the Venezuelan tax authority, has also filed a claim against INTESA for approximately $30 million for alleged non-payment of VAT taxes in 1998. In addition, SAIC Bermuda, in its capacity as shareholder, has been added at the request of PDVSA to a number of suits by INTESA employees claiming unpaid pension benefits. Our Venezuelan counsel advises that the Company does not have any legal obligation for these claims but given the unsettled and political nature of the Venezuelan environment, their outcome is uncertain. The Company has strongly recommended that INTESA file for bankruptcy as required under Venezuelan law, but PDVSA has refused to support such a filing. Many issues relating to INTESA, including the amount we will recover on our OPIC claim and the proposal for INTESA to file bankruptcy, remain unresolved. Under the 1997 outsourcing services agreement between INTESA and PDVSA, the Company guaranteed INTESA's obligations. Under the terms of the services agreement, the maximum liability for INTESA for all claims made by PDVSA for damages brought in respect of the service agreement in any calendar year is limited to $50 million. The Company's maximum obligation under the guarantee is $20 million based on PDVSA's 40% ownership percentage in INTESA. There currently is no liability recorded related to this guarantee. The Company does not have any assets or liabilities recorded related to this discontinued operation as of January 31, 2004 and 2003.

        The Company has guaranteed debt of $13 million, representing 50% of certain credit facilities for its 50% owned joint venture, Data Systems and Solutions, LLC, which is accounted for under the equity method. In another one of the Company's investments in affiliates accounted for under the equity method, the Company is an investor in Danet Partnership GBR ("GBR"), a German partnership. GBR has an internal equity market similar to the Company's limited market. The Company is required to provide liquidity rights to the other GBR investors in certain circumstances. These rights allow only the withdrawing investors in the absence of a change in control and all GBR investors in the event of a change of control to put their GBR shares to the Company in exchange for the current fair value of those shares. The Company may pay the put price in shares of its common

F-43



stock or cash. The Company does not currently record a liability for these rights because their exercise is contingent upon the occurrence of future events which the Company cannot determine with any certainty will occur. The maximum potential obligation, if the Company assumes all the current GBR employees are withdrawing from GBR, would be $10 million as of January 31, 2004. If the Company were to incur the maximum obligation and buy all the shares outstanding from the other investors, the Company would then own 100% of GBR.

        The Company has a guarantee that relates only to claims brought by the sole customer of another of its joint ventures, Bechtel SAIC Company, LLC, for specific contractual nonperformance of the joint venture. The Company also has a cross-indemnity agreement with the joint venture partner, pursuant to which it will only be ultimately responsible for the portion of any losses incurred under the guarantee equal to its ownership interest of 30%. Due to the nature of the guarantee, as of January 31, 2004, the Company is not able to project the maximum potential amount of future payments it could be required to make under the guarantee but, based on current conditions, the likelihood of having to make any payment is remote. There currently is no liability recorded relating to this guarantee.

        In the normal conduct of its business, the Company, including its Telcordia subsidiary, seeks to monetize its patent portfolio through licensing. The Company also has and will continue to defend its patent positions when it believes its patents have been infringed and is involved in such litigation from time to time. The Company is also involved in various investigations, claims and lawsuits arising in the normal conduct of its business, none of which, in the opinion of the Company's management, will have a material adverse effect on its consolidated financial position, results of operations, cash flows or ability to conduct business.

MEETINGS OF STOCKHOLDERS

        Section 2.01    Annual Meetings.    An annual meeting of stockholders shall be held for the election of directors and to transact such other business as may properly be brought before the meeting.

        Section 2.02    Special Meetings.    Special meetings of the stockholders of the Corporation for any purpose or purposes may be called at any time by the Board, or by a committee of the Board which has been duly designated by the Board and whose powers and authority, as provided in a resolution of the Board or in the Bylaws, include the power to call such meetings, but such special meetings may not be called by any other person or persons; provided, however, that if and to the extent that any special meeting of stockholders may be called by any other person or persons specified in any provisions of the Certificate of Incorporation or any amendment thereto or any certificate filed under Section 151(g) of the Delaware General Corporation Law (or its successor statute as in effect from time to time hereafter), then such special meeting may also be called by the person or persons, in the manner, at the times and for the purposes so specified.

        Section 2.03    Time and Place of Meetings.    All meetings of the stockholders shall be held at such places, within or without the State of Delaware, on such date and at such time as may from time to time be designated by the person or persons calling the respective meeting and specified in the respective notices or waivers of notice thereof.

        Section 2.04    Notice of Meetings and Adjourned Meetings; Waivers of Notice.    

            (a)   Whenever stockholders are required or permitted to take any action at a meeting, a written notice of the meeting shall be given to each stockholder of record entitled to vote at such meeting which shall state the place, date and hour of the meeting, and, in the case of a special meeting, the purpose or purposes for which the meeting is called. Notice may be given by such delivery means (mail, telecopy, electronic or other) as the Secretary deems appropriate and in compliance with applicable law and shall be delivered to the stockholders' address as it appears on the stock transfer records of the Corporation. Unless otherwise required by Delaware Law, such notice shall be given not less than 10 nor more than 60 days before the date of the meeting to each stockholder of record entitled to vote at such meeting. Unless otherwise expressly required by Delaware Law, when a meeting is adjourned to another time or place (whether or not a quorum is

1


    present), notice need not be given of the adjourned meeting if the time and place thereof are announced at the meeting at which the adjournment is taken. At the adjourned meeting, the Corporation may transact any business which might have been transacted at the original meeting. If the adjournment is for more than 30 days, or after the adjournment a new record date is fixed for the adjourned meeting, a notice of the adjourned meeting shall be given to each stockholder of record entitled to vote at the meeting.

            (b)   A written waiver of any such notice signed by the person entitled thereto, whether before or after the time stated therein, shall be deemed equivalent to notice. Attendance of a person at a meeting shall constitute a waiver of notice of such meeting, except when the person attends the meeting for the express purpose of objecting, at the beginning of the meeting, to the transaction of any business because the meeting is not lawfully called or convened. Business transacted at any special meeting of stockholders shall be limited to the purposes stated in the notice.

        Section 2.05    Quorum.    Except as provided by Delaware Law, the holders of record of a majority in voting interest of the shares of stock of the Corporation entitled to be voted thereat, present in person or by proxy, shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business at any meeting of the stockholders of the Corporation or any adjournment thereof. In the absence of a quorum at any meeting or any adjournment thereof, a majority in voting interest of the stockholders present in person or by proxy and entitled to vote thereat or, in the absence therefrom of all the stockholders, any officer entitled to preside at, or to act as a secretary of, such meeting may adjourn such meeting from time to time. At any such adjourned meeting at which a quorum is present, any business may be transacted which might have been transacted at the meeting as originally called.

        Section 2.06    Voting.    

            (a)   At each meeting of the stockholders, each stockholder shall be entitled to vote, in person or by proxy, each share or fractional share of the stock of the Corporation having voting rights on the matter in question and which shall have been held by such stockholder and registered in such stockholder's name on the books of the Corporation:

                (i)  on the date fixed pursuant to Section 6.05 of these Bylaws as the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to notice of and to vote at such meeting, or

               (ii)  if no such record date shall have been so fixed, then (a) at the close of business on the day before the day on which notice of the meeting shall be given or (b) if notice of the meeting shall be waived, at the close of business on the day before the day on which the meeting shall be held.

            (b)   Shares of its own stock belonging to the Corporation or to another corporation, if a majority of the shares entitled to vote in the election of directors in such other corporation is held, directly or indirectly, by the Corporation, shall neither be entitled to vote nor be counted for quorum purposes.

            (c)   Any such voting rights may be exercised by the stockholder entitled thereto in person or by his or her proxy appointed by an instrument in writing, subscribed by such stockholder or by such stockholder's attorney thereunto authorized and delivered to the secretary of the meeting; provided, however, that no proxy shall be voted or acted upon after three (3) years from its date unless said proxy shall provide for a longer period. At any meeting of the stockholders all matters, except as otherwise provided in the Certificate of Incorporation, in these Bylaws or by Delaware Law, shall be decided by the vote of a majority in voting interest of the stockholders present in person or by proxy and entitled to vote thereat and thereon, a quorum being present. The vote at any meeting of the stockholders on any question need not be by ballot, except as otherwise provided in the Certificate of Incorporation or unless so directed by the chairman of the meeting.

    On a vote by ballot, each ballot shall be signed by the stockholder voting, or by his or her proxy, if there be such proxy, and it shall state the number of shares voted.

        Section 2.07    Business at Annual Meeting.    To be properly brought before the meeting, business must be either (a) specified in the notice of meeting (or any supplement thereto) given by or at the direction of the Board, (b) otherwise properly brought before the meeting by or at the direction of the Board, or (c) otherwise properly brought before the meeting by a stockholder who was a stockholder of record at the time of the giving of notice provided for in this Bylaw, who is entitled to vote at the meeting and who complies with the notice procedures set forth in this Bylaw. In addition to any other applicable requirements, for business to be properly brought before an annual meeting by a stockholder, the stockholder must have given timely notice thereof in writing to the Secretary of the Corporation. To be timely, a stockholder's notice must be delivered to or mailed and received at the principal offices of the Corporation not less than 50 days nor more than 75 days prior to the meeting; provided, however, that, in the event that less than 65 days' notice or prior public disclosure of the date of the meeting is given or made to stockholders, notice by the stockholder to be timely must be so received not later than the close of business on the 15th day following the day on which such notice of the date of the annual meeting was mailed or such public disclosure was made, whichever first occurs. A stockholder's notice to the Secretary shall set forth as to each matter the stockholder proposes to bring before the annual meeting: (i) a brief description of the business desired to be brought before the annual meeting and the reasons for conducting such business at the annual meeting, (ii) the name and record address of the stockholder proposing such business and any other stockholders of the Corporation known to such stockholder to be in favor of such proposal, (iii) the class and number of shares of capital stock of the Corporation which are beneficially owned by such stockholder on the date of such notice, (iv) any material interest of such stockholder in such proposal, and (v) whether the proponent intends or is part of a group which intends to solicit proxies from other stockholders in support of such proposal.

        No business shall be conducted at the annual meeting except in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 2.07; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 2.07 shall be deemed to preclude discussion by any stockholder of any business properly brought before the annual meeting.

        The chairman of the annual meeting shall, if the facts warrant, determine and declare to the meeting that business was not properly brought before the meeting in accordance with this Section 2.07 and if he should so determine, he shall so declare to the meeting and any such business not properly brought before the meeting shall not be transacted.

        Section 2.08    List of Stockholders.    The Secretary of the Corporation shall prepare and make, at least ten (10) days before every meeting of stockholders, a complete list of the stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting, arranged in alphabetical order, and showing the address of each stockholder and the number of shares registered in the name of each stockholder. Such list shall be open to the examination of any stockholder, for any purpose germane to the meeting, during ordinary business hours, for a period of at least ten (10) days prior to the meeting, either at a place within the city where the meeting is to be held, which place shall be specified in the notice of the meeting, or, if not so specified at the place where the meeting is to be held. The list shall also be produced and kept at the time and place of the meeting during the whole time thereof, and may be inspected by any stockholder who is present.

        Section 2.09    Inspectors.    Prior to each meeting of the stockholders, one or more inspectors shall be appointed by the Board, or, if no such appointment shall have been made, such inspectors shall be appointed by the chairman of the meeting, to act thereat.

Such inspectors shall take charge of the ballots at such meeting, count the ballots cast on any question and deliver a written report of the

3



results thereof to the secretary of such meeting. The inspectors need not be stockholders of the Corporation. Any officer of the Corporation may be an inspector on any question other than a vote for or against his or her election to any position with the Corporation or on any other question in which he or she may be directly interested other than as a stockholder.

        Section 2.10    Regulations for Conduct of Stockholders Meeting.    The Board may adopt by resolution such rules and regulations for the conduct of the meeting of stockholders as it shall deem appropriate. Except to the extent inconsistent with such rules and regulations adopted by the Board, the chairman of any meeting of stockholders shall have the right and authority to prescribe such rules, regulations and procedures and to do all such acts as, in the judgment of such chairman, are appropriate for the proper conduct of the meeting. Such rules, regulations or procedures, whether adopted by the Board or prescribed by the chairman of the meeting, may include, without limitation, the following: (i) the establishment of an agenda or order of business for the meeting; (ii) rules and procedures for maintaining order at the meeting and the safety of those present; and (iii) limitations on the time allotted to questions or comments by participants.

Directors may participate in any regular or special meeting of the Board or a committee by means of conference telephone or similar communications equipment pursuant to which all persons participating in the meeting can hear each other, and such participation shall constitute presence in person at such meeting.

        Section 3.12    Quorum and Manner of Acting.    Except as otherwise provided in these Bylaws or by Delaware Law, the presence of a majority of the total number of directors shall be required to constitute a quorum for the transaction of business at any meeting of the Board or a committee, and all matters shall be decided at any such meeting, a quorum being present, by the affirmative votes of a majority of the directors present.

Every owner of stock of the Corporation shall be entitled to have a certificate or certificates, to be in such form as the Board shall prescribe, certifying the number and class of shares of the stock of the Corporation owned. To the extent that shares are represented by certificates, the certificates shall be numbered in the order in which they shall be issued and shall be signed in the name of the Corporation by the President or a Vice President, and by the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary or by the Treasurer or an Assistant Treasurer.

Every certificate surrendered to the Corporation for exchange or transfer shall be cancelled, and no new certificate or certificates shall be issued in exchange for any existing certificate until such existing certificate shall have been so cancelled, except in cases provided for in Section 6.04.

            (c)   All shares of Class B Common Stock of the Corporation issued subsequent to the effective time of the 1984 Reorganization upon exercise of options granted prior to the effective time of the 1981 Reorganization under any of SAI's stock option plans ("Options") which were converted into Options to purchase shares of Old Common Stock in the 1981 Reorganization but which were not converted into Options to purchase shares of Class A Common Stock in the 1984 Reorganization shall be subject to the same contractual or other restrictions, if any, that would have been applicable to the shares of SAI Common Stock issuable upon exercise of such Options

11



    if such Options had been exercised immediately prior to the effective time of the 1981 Reorganization.

            (d)   To the extent that shares are represented by certificates, all restrictions on the transfer shall be noted conspicuously on the certificate representing such shares and with respect to uncertificated shares such restrictions shall be noted conspicuously in any ownership statement delivered to the stockholder by the Corporation.

The person in whose name shares of stock stand on the books of the Corporation shall be deemed the owner thereof for all purposes as regards the Corporation. Whenever any shares are pledged for collateral security such fact shall be reflected on the books of the Corporation.

        Section 6.03    Regulations.    The Board may make such rules and regulations as it may deem expedient, not inconsistent with these Bylaws, concerning the issue, transfer and registration of certificates for shares of the stock of the Corporation. It may appoint, or authorize any officer or officers to appoint, one or more transfer clerks or one or more transfer agents and one or more registrars, and may require all certificates for stock to bear the signature or signatures of any of them.

        Section 6.04    Lost, Stolen, Destroyed and Mutilated Certificates.    In any case of loss, theft, destruction, or mutilation of any certificate of stock, another may be issued in its place upon proof of such loss, theft, destruction, or mutilation and upon the giving of a bond of indemnity to the Corporation in such form and in such sum as the Board may direct; provided, however, that a new certificate or uncertificated share may be issued without requiring any bond when, in the judgment of the Board, or the Corporate Secretary, it is proper so to do.

        Section 6.05    Fixing Date for Determination of Stockholders of Records.    In order that the Corporation may determine the stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote at any meeting of stockholders or any adjournment thereof, or entitled to receive payment of any dividend or other distribution or allotment of any rights, or entitled to exercise any rights in respect of any other change, conversion or exchange of stock or for the purpose of any other lawful action, the Board may fix, in advance, a record date, which shall not be more than 60 nor less than 10 days before the date of such meeting, nor more than 60 days prior to any other action. If in any case involving the determination of stockholders for any purpose other than notice of or voting at a meeting of stockholders, the Board shall not fix such a record date, the record date for determining stockholders for such purpose shall be the close of business on the day on which the Board shall adopt the resolution relating thereto. A determination of stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of stockholders shall apply to any adjournment of such meeting; provided, however, that the Board may fix a new record date for the adjourned meeting.

To initially participate in the Plan, the Executive or Director must submit his or her Deferral election, including any forms or agreements prescribed by the Committee, during the applicable Deferral election period established by the Committee. Beginning with the deferral election made in the Plan Year ending January 31, 2004 for deferrals of Covered Compensation during calendar year 2004, the Participant's election shall be carried forward automatically to future Plan Years for which the Participant is eligible to participate unless, during the applicable election period for such future Plan Years, the Participant elects to modify or cancel the prior election under procedures established by the Committee.

      Participants may elect to defer up to 100% but not less than 10% of Covered Compensation, in whole percentages, but not less than $1,000 (before reductions, if any, under Section 4.2.1).

    4.2
    Changes to Deferral Elections

    4.2.1
    The maximum allowable total deferral of Covered Compensation for all Participants under this Plan for any Plan Year will be determined by the Committee. In the event that Participant deferral elections are estimated to result in this maximum being exceeded, the following method will be used to reduce Participant deferral percentages so that the total estimated deferral is less than the maximum allowable.

    a)
    All Executives who have elected to defer more than 50% of Covered Compensation will be reduced, on an equal percentage basis, but not below 50% of Covered Compensation or $5,000, whichever is greater.

    b)
    If after implementation of subsection (a) above, the total deferral is still greater than the maximum allowable total deferral, all Executives' percentage deferrals will be reduced on an equal percentage basis until the maximum allowable total deferral is achieved.

    4.2.2
    Any Deferral election by a Participant shall be irrevocable for that Plan Year following the end of such Plan Year's Deferral election period.

    4.2.3
    The Committee, in its sole discretion, may elect to terminate the Plan at any time pursuant to Section 9; in such event, deferrals will cease effective as of the termination date.

    4.3
    Rollover of Balances from Current Deferred Compensation Plan

    4.3.1
    Participants who hold a balance in the Company's current Deferred Compensation Plan may elect to transfer that balance on a bookkeeping basis into this Plan at the beginning of the first Plan Year.

5.
Earnings on Participants' Accounts

5.1
Base Earnings on Deferral

5.1.1
Covered Compensation deferred by a Participant shall be credited to the Participant's Deferral Account as of the date of deferral. Interest in each Plan Year will be credited quarterly on the average Deferral Account balance for that quarter. The rate of interest applied to the Pre-1991 Deferral Account shall be at a base rate equivalent to an annual rate equal to Moody's Rate, and the rate applicable to the Post-1990 Deferral Account shall be at a base rate equivalent to an annual rate equal to the Moody's Rate less 1%. In each case, the Moody's Rate in effect on each Anniversary Date shall be used to determine the applicable rate of interest applied during the subsequent Plan Year.

5.2
Earnings on Rollover Balances

5.2.1
The portion of a Participant's Pre-1991 Deferral Account resulting from the transfer of a balance from the Company's current Deferred Compensation Plan will be credited quarterly with a rate of interest equivalent to 60% of the interest rate announced by Bank of America as its "prime rate" on the previous Anniversary Date for the first four (4) Plan Years. After the fourth Plan Anniversary Date, this portion of the Pre-1991 Deferral Account will be credited with interest quarterly at an effective annual rate equal to Moody's Rate plus 9% until the cumulative interest equals that amount of interest which would have been credited assuming that Moody's Rate had been used since Plan inception. At that time, the distinction between portions of the Pre-1991 Deferral Account from deferrals and from transfers will cease to exist.

5.3
Additional Earnings

5.3.1
The Committee may, in its sole discretion, determine whether and in what amount additional earnings shall be allocated to Participants' Deferral Accounts. Additional earnings in any Plan Year, if any, as determined by the Committee, will be allocated to each Participant's Deferral Account (except as otherwise provided in Section 6.1.3 and except for Deferral Accounts of Participants who have had a Termination of Employment prior to ten years of participation in the Plan) by the ratio of the Participant's Ceiling Excess Earnings to the sum of all Participants' Ceiling Excess Earnings as of the end of the Plan Year, with such additional earnings and Ceiling Excess Earnings calculated separately for Pre-1991 and Post-1990 Deferral Accounts.

6.
Payout of Participants' Accounts

6.1
Hardship

6.1.1
Notwithstanding the provisions of Sections 6.2 and 6.4 hereof, a Participant shall be entitled to request a hardship distribution of all or any portion of his or her Deferral Account(s). A Participant or legal representative of the Participant must make a written request for a hardship distribution, stating the reasons such withdrawal is necessary because of a financial hardship. The Committee, in its sole discretion, shall determine whether or not to grant the hardship distribution of such Participant's Deferral Account(s) and, in so doing, may rely on the Participant's statements, and a hardship distribution may be approved without further investigation unless the Committee has reason to believe such statements are false.

6.2
Termination Payouts

6.2.1
A Participant who has a Termination of Employment prior to one year of Plan Participation shall receive an amount equal to his or her Deferral Account, less any

4


        credited earnings. Payment shall be made in a lump sum within twelve months following Termination of Employment.

      6.2.2
      A Participant who has a Termination of Employment after one year of Plan Participation but prior to 10 years of Plan participation shall receive payment in a lump sum within twelve months following Termination of Employment equal to his or her Deferral Account(s) as of the most recent quarterly valuation.

      6.2.3
      A Participant who has a Termination of Employment after 10 years of Plan participation shall be subject and entitled to the Normal Payout provisions set forth in Section 6.4.

    6.3
    Survivor Payouts

    6.3.1
    If a Participant dies before Normal Payout commences and the Plan Agreement is in effect at the time of death, the Employer shall make a Survivor Payout, as defined in Section 6.3.2, to the designated Beneficiary.

    6.3.2
    The Survivor Payout shall consist of the Participant's Deferral Account(s) at the time of death.

    6.3.3
    The Survivor Payout shall be paid in a lump sum to the Beneficiary within twelve months following verification of the Participant's death.

    6.3.4
    Notwithstanding subsection 6.3.3 above, a Participant may elect on the Beneficiary form provided by the Committee that the Survivor Payout be made over a 20-, 40-, or 60-quarter period rather than as a lump sum.

    6.4
    Normal Payouts

    6.4.1
    Normal Payouts shall commence at age sixty-five (65), Retirement or ten (10) years of Plan participation, whichever is the latest to occur.

    6.4.2
    A Participant who Retires may request that Normal Payout commence upon such Retirement. The Committee in its sole discretion may grant such request in the event that the Participant demonstrates financial need and the cash flow of the Company permits such early commencement.

    6.4.3
    The Participant shall elect to receive the Normal Payout over a 20-, 40- or 60-quarter period. The first payment will commence within 90 days of the quarter end following Retirement.

    6.4.4
    If a Participant does not elect a payout option, the payments shall be over a 20-quarter period.

    6.4.5
    Normal Payout shall consist of the Participant's Deferral Account(s) spread equally over the elected payout period. Earnings, and additional earnings, if applicable, as provided in Subsection 5.3.1, shall continue to be credited to the remaining Deferral Account(s) during the payout period and shall be estimated so that approximately equal payments can be made.

    6.4.6
    If a Participant dies during the Normal Payout period, Normal Payout shall continue as scheduled to the Participant's Beneficiary.

    6.4.7
    The election provided in Section 6.4.3 shall be made during the initial Commitment Period of Plan participation and shall become irrevocable at the end of such period.

    6.5
    Payment for Notification of Death

5


      6.5.1
      If a Participant dies following either Retirement or Termination of Employment, the Company will pay a $5,000 notification payment of a lump sum to the Participant's Beneficiary within 90 days of the quarter end following verification of the Participant's death.

7.
Beneficiary Designation

7.1
Upon forms provided by the Committee, each Participant shall designate in writing the Beneficiary or Beneficiaries whom such Participant desires to receive the benefits of this Plan, payable under Sections 6.3, 6.4 and/or 6.5, in the event of such Participant's death.

7.2
A Participant may from time to time change his or her designated Beneficiary or Beneficiaries without the consent of such Beneficiary or Beneficiaries by filing a new designation in writing with the Committee.

7.3
If a married Participant wishes to designate an individual other than his or her spouse as Beneficiary, such designation shall not be effective (i.e., the surviving spouse shall be treated as the sole Beneficiary) unless consented to in writing by the spouse, which consent shall acknowledge the effect of the designation and be witnessed by a member of the Committee (or an individual designated by the Committee) or acknowledged before a notary public. Notwithstanding the foregoing, spousal consent shall not be necessary if it is established to the satisfaction of the Committee that there is no spouse of the Participant or that the required consent cannot be obtained because the spouse cannot be located. The Company may rely upon the designation of Beneficiary or Beneficiaries last filed by the Participant in accordance with the terms of this Plan.

7.4
If the designated Beneficiary does not survive the Participant, or if there is no valid Beneficiary designation, amounts payable under the Plan shall be paid to the Participant's spouse, or if there is no surviving spouse, then to the duly appointed and currently acting personal representative of the Participant's estate. If there is no personal representative of the Participant's estate duly appointed and acting in that capacity within 60 days after the Participant's death, then all payments due under the Plan shall be payable to the person or persons who can verify by affidavit or court order to the satisfaction of the Committee that they are legally entitled to receive the benefits specified hereunder pursuant to the laws of intestate succession or other statutory provisions in effect at the Participant's death in the state in which the Participant resided.

7.5
In the event any amount is payable under the Plan to a minor, payment shall not be made to the minor, but instead shall be paid to that person's then living parent(s) to act as custodian, or, if no parent of that person is living, to a custodian selected by the Committee to hold the funds for the minor under the Uniform Transfers to Minors Act, or similar law, in effect in the jurisdiction in which the minor resides.

8.
Acceleration Provisions

8.1
Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 6 hereof, a Participant shall be entitled to request a hardship withdrawal of all or any portion of their Deferral Account or acceleration of payments of their Deferral Account if payments have already commenced under the payout option selected by the Participant. A Participant must make a written request to the Committee for a hardship withdrawal or request for accelerated payment, stating the reasons such withdrawal or acceleration is necessary because of a financial hardship. The Committee, in its sole discretion, shall determine whether or not to grant the Participant's request and, in so doing, may rely on the Participant's statements, and a hardship withdrawal or accelerated payment may be approved without further investigation unless the Committee has reason to believe such statements are false.

6


      The Participant shall specify from which of their Deferral Account(s) (i.e., Pre-1991 or Post-1990, or both) the hardship withdrawal shall be taken.

    8.2
    The Committee, acting in its sole discretion, may determine to accelerate, in whole or in part, payments of some or all Deferral Account(s) (including Deferral Account(s) as to which payments have not yet commenced) in the event of a threatened or actual change in control of the Company, or in the event that a change in the legal, accounting, or tax treatment of amounts deferred under the Plan are altered in a manner which would potentially subject the Company, the Participants, or both, to adverse tax or administrative burdens.

9.
Amendment and Termination of Plan

9.1
The Company may, at its absolute and sole discretion, amend or terminate the Plan at any time.

9.2
In the event of Company-initiated Plan termination, Participants' entire Deferral Account(s), including credited interest, will be paid to Participants within twelve months of the quarter end following Plan termination.

10.
Nature of Accounts

10.1
All amounts credited to the Deferral Account(s) shall remain the sole property of the Company and shall be usable by it as part of its general funds for any legal purpose whatsoever. The Deferral Account(s) shall exist only as bookkeeping entries for the purpose of facilitating the computation of earnings credits hereunder and such Deferral Account(s) shall not constitute trust funds, escrow accounts, or any other form of asset segregation in favor of anyone other than the Company. No participant shall have any interest in any specific asset of the Company by virtue of this Plan and each Participant's rights under this Plan shall at all times be limited to those of a general unsecured creditor of the Company.

      Although sometimes referred to in this Plan as "interest," amounts credited to Deferral Account(s) pursuant to Section 5.1, 5.2 and 5.3 may be treated as compensation for tax and payroll withholding purposes, pursuant to applicable Internal Revenue Code and Treasury regulation requirements.

11.
Limitation on Rights of Participants

11.1
If a Participant is an employee of the Company, such employment is not for any specific term and may be terminated by the Participant or Company at any time, for any reason, with or without cause. Neither this Plan nor any election to defer compensation hereunder shall be held or construed to confer on any person any legal right to be continued as an employee, consultant or Director of the Company; nor to constitute any promise or commitment by the Company regarding future positions, future work assignments, future compensation or any other term or condition of employment or affiliation.

12.
Non-Transferability

12.1
No right to payment under this Plan shall be subject to anticipation, alienation, sale, assignment, pledge, encumbrance, or charge and any attempt to anticipate, alienate, sell, assign, pledge, encumber, or charge the same shall be void. No right to payment shall in any manner be liable for, or subject to, the debts, contracts, liabilities or torts of the person entitled thereto.

13.
Restriction Against Assignment

13.1
The Participant or Beneficiary shall not have the power to transfer, assign, anticipate, modify, or otherwise encumber in any manner whatsoever any of the payments that will become due

7


      pursuant to this Plan, nor shall said payments be subject to attachment, garnishment or execution, or be transferable by operation of law in event of bankruptcy or insolvency.

14.
Binding Effect

14.1
The Plan Agreement or Agreements attached hereto, when executed, is/are solely between the Company and the Participant. The Participant and any Beneficiary shall have recourse only against the Company for its enforcement, and any Plan Agreement shall be binding upon the Beneficiary, heirs, and personal representative of the Participant and upon the successors and assigns of the Company.

15.
Settlement of Disputes

15.1
If any disputes arise with regard to the interpretation of any of the provisions of this Plan or with regard to the amount of any payments due under this Plan and the Agreement, the Committee shall make any resolution of such disputes which it deems, in its sole discretion, to be in the best interest of the Company and the Participants. Any such determinations made by the Committee shall be final and binding on all Participants in the Plan.

15.2
The Committee shall adopt procedures, consistent with Section 503 of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, with respect to notice to Participants of claims denied under the Plan and review of denied claims.

16.
Administration

16.1
The Plan shall be administered by the Committee, as appointed by the Board of Directors of the Company.

17.
Forfeiture

    Any payment due to a Participant hereunder which is not claimed by the Participant, his or her Beneficiary, his or her estate or other person legally entitled thereto within four years after becoming payable shall be forfeited and canceled and shall remain with the Company and no other person shall have any right thereto or interest therein. The Company shall have no duty under this Agreement to give notice to any person other than the Participant or his or her designated Beneficiary that amounts are payable hereunder.

Participation in the Plan and any elections made by a Participant, including Deferral elections and elections as to form of distribution under Article VII, is conditioned on the Participant executing an agreement with the Company, in a manner prescribed by the Committee, relating to the Company's right of repurchase of Company Stock and such other matters as the Committee shall prescribe. To initially participate in the Plan, the Employee or Director must submit his or her Deferral election, including any forms or agreements prescribed by the Committee, during the applicable Deferral election period established by the Committee. Beginning with the Deferral election made in the 2003 Plan Year for Deferrable Amounts received during calendar year 2004, the Participant's election shall be carried forward automatically to future Plan Years for which the Participant is eligible to participate unless, during the applicable Deferral election period for such future Plan Years, the Participant elects to modify or

2



cancel the prior election under procedures established by the Committee. In addition to amounts deferred pursuant to a Deferral election, additional Deferrals may be credited to a Participant's Account pursuant to the terms of an offer letter with an Employee made at the time of commencement of employment with the Company, as determined and approved by the Deferral Authority in its sole discretion.

        3.3.    Amounts Subject to Deferral.    The total Deferrals elected for a particular Plan Year may be in an amount up to a specified percentage of Deferrable Amounts, such maximum percentage to be up to one hundred percent (100%) as determined by the Deferral Authority.

        3.4.    Deferral Election Irrevocable.    Any Deferral election by a Participant for a particular Plan Year shall be irrevocable for that Plan Year following the end of such Plan Year's Deferral election period.

        3.5.    Deferrals to be Held in Trust.    Within a reasonable period of time following the date on which a Deferrable Amount would have been paid to a Participant but for the Deferral hereunder, the Company shall contribute, to the Trust, Company Stock or money in an amount sufficient to purchase shares of Company Stock equal in value (based on the then prevailing Formula Price as determined under the Company's Certificate of Incorporation) to the Deferral. The Trustee shall apply such contribution toward the purchase of Company Stock in accordance with the directions of the Committee and the terms of the Trust and the Participant shall be credited with the applicable number of Share Units.


ARTICLE IV
TRUST FUND

        4.1.    Trust Fund Established.    The Company has established the Trust pursuant to a trust agreement under which the Trustee will hold and administer in trust all assets deposited with the Trustee in accordance with the terms of this Plan. The Board shall have the authority to select and remove the Trustee to act under the Trust agreement, and to enter into new or amended trust agreements as it deems advisable.

        4.2.    Company, Committee and Trustee Not Responsible for Adequacy of Trust Fund.    Neither the Company, Board, Deferral Authority, Committee nor Trustee shall be liable or responsible for the adequacy of the Trust Fund to meet and discharge any or all payments and liabilities hereunder. All Plan benefits will be paid only from the Trust assets, and neither the Company, Board, Deferral Authority, Committee nor Trustee shall have any duty or liability to furnish the Trust with any funds, securities or other assets except as expressly provided in Section 3.6 hereof.

        4.3.    Invasion of Trust by Creditors.    If assets of the Trust should be reduced due to action of the Company's creditors, as provided in the Trust document, the Committee shall reduce each Account on a pro rata basis to reflect such reduction in Trust assets, and the Company shall have no obligation to replace such lost assets.

        4.4.    Trust Expenses.    Expenses of the Trust which are not paid by the Company shall be applied to reduce each Account on a pro rata basis.


ARTICLE V
ACCOUNTS

        5.1.    Committee to Maintain Accounts.    The Committee shall open and maintain a separate Account for each Participant to record the Deferrals made by the Participant and the assets held in the Trust with respect to such Participant as well as to allocate Trust expenses.

3


        5.2.    Additional Accounting Procedures.    The Committee shall establish and may amend from time to time additional accounting procedures for the purpose of making allocations, distributions, valuations and adjustments to Accounts, and to allocate Trust earnings expenses and losses to such accounts. A Participant or Beneficiary shall have no contractual or other right to have a particular accounting procedure or convention apply, or continue to apply, and the Committee shall be free to alter any such procedure or convention without notice or obligation to any Participant or Beneficiary.

        5.3.    Limitation on Benefits.    Benefits payable to a Participant or Beneficiary under the Plan shall be limited to the vested Account balance credited to such Participant or Beneficiary.

        5.4.    Vesting of Account Balances.    A Participant's Account balance shall be one hundred percent (100%) vested except with respect to the portion of the Account balance attributable to vesting bonuses awarded under the Company's 1984 Bonus Compensation Plan. Such portion of a Participant's Account balance shall become vested (and the nonvested portion forfeited) at the time or times the bonus would have become vested (and the nonvested portion forfeited) under the 1984 Bonus Compensation Plan without regard to deferral under this Plan. The shares of Company Stock represented by such forfeited portion shall be returned to the Company or reallocated in accordance with the Committee's directions and the terms of the Trust.


ARTICLE VI
RIGHTS IN ACQUIRED STOCK

        6.1.    Power to Vote Stock Rests With Trustee.    The power to vote any stock held by the Trustee shall rest solely with the Trustee, who shall vote such stock in the same proportion that the other shareholders vote their shares of Company Stock. For purposes of this Section 6.1, Company Stock shall include both Class A and Class B Common Stock.

        6.2.    Tender Offers.    In the case of a tender offer for the Company Stock, the Trustee shall tender the shares of Company Stock held by the Trust only if more than fifty percent (50%) of the shares of Company Stock held outside the Trust are tendered by the shareholders.

        6.3.    Dividends.    All dividends on Company Stock held in Trust shall be held by the Trustee and reinvested as directed by the Committee. The Committee shall allocate such dividends among the Accounts pro rata to the shares allocated to each Account.


ARTICLE VII
DISTRIBUTIONS

        7.1.    Time of Commencement of Distribution.    Subject to the acceleration provisions of Article VIII, the balance credited to a Participant's Account shall be distributed, or commence to be distributed, to the Participant on the first to occur of the following events:

            (a)   the Participant's Retirement Date; or

            (b)   the date of the Participant's Termination of Affiliation with the Company.

        7.2.    Form of Distribution.    

            Each distribution shall be made in the form of Company Stock unless the Committee determines, in its sole discretion, that distribution of Company Stock is impossible or creates adverse impact on the Company, in which case the Committee may determine to make the distribution in cash. A Participant shall have no right to request a cash distribution.

        7.3    Methods of Distribution.    

            (a)    Lump Sum on Death.    If a Participant dies having an Account balance (regardless of whether distributions have begun under the Plan), the remaining balance in the Participant's

4


    Account shall be paid in the form of a lump sum to the Beneficiary or Beneficiaries designated in accordance with Section 7.4, or as otherwise provided in Sections 7.4 and 7.5, within a reasonable period following the date when the Committee receives notice of the Participant's death.

            (b)    Election for Retirement Distributions.    Subject to the acceleration provisions in Article VIII, distributions made following a Participant's Retirement Date shall be made to the Participant in accordance with a valid election made by the Participant under this subsection (b). The Participant may elect in a manner prescribed by the Committee to have his or her Account paid in one of the following forms:

              (1)   A lump sum payment of the entire Account Balance; or

              (2)   A series of annual payments over a five or ten year period. Each installment shall include one-fifth or one-tenth, as applicable, of the number of shares of Company Stock distributable to the Participant. Effective for new Participants making Deferral elections for the 2004 and subsequent Plan Years, a series of annual payments over a fifteen year period shall be an available option for Retirement distributions. Each installment shall include one-fifteenth of the number of shares of Company Stock distributable to the Participant.

Each election shall be made on forms specified by the Committee and shall be irrevocable when made.

            (c)    Other Distributions.    Distributions other than those specified in (a) or (b) above shall be made as a lump sum within a reasonable period of time following a Participant's Termination of Affiliation.

            (d)    Default Distribution.    If the Participant fails to make a valid election as described in subsection (b), the Participant's Account shall be distributed in full as a lump sum payment within a reasonable period of time following the Distribution Date.

        7.4.    Beneficiary Designation.    

            (a)   Upon forms provided by the Committee, each Participant shall designate in writing the Beneficiary or Beneficiaries whom such Participant desires to receive the benefits of this Plan, if any, payable in the event of such Participant's death. A Participant may from time to time change his or her designated Beneficiary or Beneficiaries without the consent of such Beneficiary or Beneficiaries by filing a new designation in writing with the Committee; provided, however, that if a married Participant wishes to designate an individual other than his or her spouse as Beneficiary, such designation shall not be effective unless consented to in writing by the spouse. Notwithstanding the foregoing, spousal consent shall not be necessary if it is established to the satisfaction of the Committee that there is no spouse of the Participant or that the required consent cannot be obtained because the spouse cannot be located or is legally incompetent. The Company may rely upon the designation of Beneficiary or Beneficiaries last filed by the Participant in accordance with the terms of this Plan.

            (b)   If the designated Beneficiary does not survive the Participant, or if there is no valid Beneficiary designation, amounts payable under the Plan shall be paid to the Participant's spouse, or if there is no surviving spouse, then to the duly appointed and currently acting personal representative of the Participant's estate. If there is no personal representative of the Participant's estate duly appointed and acting in that capacity within sixty (60) days after the Participant's death, then all payments due under the Plan shall be payable to the person or persons who can verify by affidavit or court order to the satisfaction of the Committee that they are legally entitled to receive the benefits specified hereunder pursuant to the laws of intestate succession or other legal provision in effect at the Participant's death in the jurisdiction having authority over disposition of the Participant's estate.

5



        7.5.    Distribution to Guardian.    If the Committee shall find that any person to whom any payment is payable under this Plan is unable to care for his or her affairs because of illness or accident, or is a minor, a payment due (unless a prior claim therefor shall have been made by a duly appointed guardian or other legal representative) may be paid to the spouse, a child, a parent, or a brother or sister, or to any custodian, conservator or other fiduciary responsible for the management and control of such person's financial affairs in such manner and proportions as the Committee may determine. Any such payment shall, to the extent thereof, discharge of the liabilities of the Company to the Participant or Beneficiary under this Plan.

        7.6.    Withholding of Taxes.    To the extent any distribution is subject to withholding taxes, the Committee may require, as a condition to the payment of such distribution, that the Participant or Beneficiary who is eligible for the distribution:

            (a)   make payment to the Company in the form of a check for such withholding taxes; or

            (b)   consent to the withholding of taxes from such distribution by the Trustee, in which case the withheld amounts shall be delivered to the Company which shall pay over the withheld taxes as required by law.

The Committee may offer either or both of these options to the Participant or Beneficiary in the Committee's sole discretion.


ARTICLE VIII
ACCELERATION OF DISTRIBUTION

        8.1.    Change in Control.    All Accounts shall be immediately distributed to the Participants to whom such Accounts belong, upon the occurrence of a Change in Control (as hereinafter defined) of the Company. A Change in Control shall be deemed to occur upon any "person" (as defined in Section 3(a)(9) of the United States Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "34 Act")), other than the Company, any subsidiary or any employee benefit plan or trust maintained by the Company or subsidiary becoming the beneficial owner (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the 34 Act), directly or indirectly, of more than 25% of the Company Stock outstanding at such time, without the prior approval of the Board. For purposes of the foregoing, a subsidiary is any corporation in an unbroken chain of corporations beginning with the Company if each of the corporations, other than the last corporation in such chain, owns at least fifty percent (50%) of the total voting power in one of the other corporations in such chain.

        8.2.    Hardship.    Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 7.1 and 7.3 hereof, a Participant shall be entitled to request a hardship distribution of all or any portion of his or her Account. A Participant or legal representative of the Participant must make a written request for a hardship distribution, stating the reasons such withdrawal is necessary because of a financial hardship. The Committee, in its sole discretion, shall determine whether or not to grant the hardship distribution of such Participant's Account and, in so doing, may rely on the Participant's statements, and a hardship distribution may be approved without further investigation unless the Committee has reason to believe such statements are false.


ARTICLE IX
SOURCE OF PAYMENT

        9.1.    No Direct Interest in Trust Assets.    All distributions hereunder shall be paid solely from the Trust.

A Participant shall have no right, title, or interest whatever in or to any investments which the Company may make through the Trust to meet its obligations hereunder. Nothing contained in this Plan, and no action taken pursuant to its provisions,

In the event of a Plan termination, benefits will either be paid out when due under the terms of the Plan or as soon as possible as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion. To the extent feasible, the Committee shall use its best efforts to avoid adversely affecting the rights of any existing Participants in the Plan, but the Committee shall be under no specific duty or obligation in this regard.

The Committee shall establish a procedure for issuance of a decision by the Committee not later than sixty (60) days after receipt of a request for review from a claimant unless special circumstances, such as the need to hold a hearing, require a longer period of time, in which case a decision shall be rendered as soon as possible but not later than one hundred twenty (120) days after receipt of the claimant's request for review. The decision on review shall be in writing and shall include specific reasons for the decision written in a manner calculated to be understood by the claimant with specific reference to any provisions of this Plan on which the decision is based.

            (a)   To the extent permitted by law, the Company shall indemnify each member of the Deferral Authority, the Committee, and any other employee or director of the Company who was or is a party, or is threatened to be made a party, to any threatened, pending or completed proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative, or investigative, by reason of his or her conduct in the performance in connection with the establishment or administration of the Plan or any amendment or termination of the Plan.

            (b)   This indemnification shall apply against expenses including, without limitation, attorneys fees and any expenses of establishing a right to indemnification hereunder, judgments, fines, settlements and other amounts actually and reasonably incurred in connection with such proceeding, except in relation to matters as to which he or she has acted fraudulently or in bad faith in the performance of such duties.

            (c)   The termination of any proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent shall not, in and of itself, create a presumption that the person acted fraudulently or in bad faith in the performance of his or her duties.

            (d)   Expenses incurred in defending any such proceeding may be advanced by the Company prior to the final disposition of such proceeding, upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the recipient to repay such amount, unless it shall be determined ultimately that the recipient is entitled to be indemnified as authorized in this Section 11.8.

            (e)   The right of indemnification set forth in this Section 11.8 shall be in addition to any other right to which any Committee member or other person may be entitled as a matter of law, by corporate bylaws or otherwise.

        12.1.    Restrictions on Plan Interest.    

            (a)   A Participant's interest in this Plan shall be limited to his or her Account in the Trust and he or she shall have no other interest in any assets of the Company nor any right as against the Company, Deferral Authority or Committee for payment of benefits under this Plan.

            (b)   None of the benefits, payments, proceeds, claims or rights hereunder of any Participant or Beneficiary shall be subject to any claim of any creditor of such Participant or Beneficiary and in particular the same shall not be subject to attachment, garnishment, or other legal process by any creditor of such Participant or Beneficiary.

Each Participant and Beneficiary shall, however, be considered a general creditor of the Company with respect to the assets held in his or her Account in the Trust, so that if the Company should become insolvent, the Participant or Beneficiary will have a claim against the Trust assets equal to that of the Company's other general creditors (regardless of whether such assets are removed from the trust by a trustee in bankruptcy).

9



            (e)   Whenever a provision of this Plan restricts or limits a Participant or a Participant's Account, benefit or distribution, such limitation shall also apply to a Beneficiary unless otherwise specified.

        12.2.    No Enlargement of Employee Rights.    

            (a)   This Plan is strictly a voluntary undertaking on the part of the Company and shall not be deemed to constitute a contract between the Company and any Employee or Director, or be consideration for, or an inducement to, or a condition of, the employment of any Employee or affiliation of any Director.

            (b)   The employment of any Employee is not for any specified term and may be terminated by any Employee or by the Company at any time, for any reason, with or without cause.

            (c)   No person shall have any right to any benefits under this Plan, except to the extent expressly provided herein.

        12.3.    Rights of Repurchase and First Refusal for the Company.    Any Company Stock distributed from the Plan shall be subject to a right of repurchase and right of first refusal by the Company, as well as any conditions, limitations or restrictions contained in an agreement specified in Section 3.2.

        12.4.    Mailing of Payments.    All payments under the Plan shall be delivered in person or mailed to the last address of the Participant (or, in the case of the death of the Participant to that of any other person entitled to such payments under the terms of the Plan). Each Participant shall be responsible for furnishing the Committee with his or her correct current address and the correct current name and address of his or her Beneficiary.

        12.5.    Inability to Locate Participant or Beneficiary.    In the event that the Committee is unable to locate a Participant or Beneficiary to whom benefits are payable hereunder after mailing a notice to the Participant's or Beneficiary's last known address, and such inability lasts for a period of three (3) years, then any remaining benefits payable hereunder shall be forfeited to the Company and no Participant or Beneficiary shall have any right to further benefits from the Plan, even if subsequently located.

        12.9.    Tax Effects.    The Company makes no representations or warranties as to the tax consequences to a Participant or to a Participant's Beneficiary from Deferrals hereunder or the subsequent receipt of any benefits as a result thereof. Each Participant must rely solely on his or her

        12.10.    Receipt or Release.    Any payment to any Participant or Beneficiary in accordance with the provisions of this Plan shall, to the extent thereof, be in full satisfaction of all claims against the Committee and the Company, and the Committee may require such Participant or Beneficiary, as a condition precedent to such payment, to execute a receipt and release to such effect.

Exhibit 10(p)

AGREEMENT

        This AGREEMENT ("Agreement") effective April 26, 2002, by and between CARL M. ALBERO ("Executive") and SCIENCE APPLICATIONS INTERNATIONAL CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation ("SAIC").

        In consideration of the following mutual promises and other good and valuable consideration, the parties hereto agree as follows:

        1.    Term of Employment.    

        SAIC agrees to continue the employment of Executive and Executive agrees to continue being employed as an SAIC Sector Manager under the terms and conditions contained herein for the period commencing April 26, 2002 and ending April 25, 2004 (the "Employment Term"). On April 25, 2004, the Employment Term will automatically extend for an additional one (1) year period unless either party has provided the other party with written notice by January 31, 2004, of its decision not to extend the Employment Term for such additional one (1) year period. Executive shall continue to serve as one of SAIC's appointed directors on the Board of Directors of AMSEC LLC ("AMSEC") throughout the Employment Term. This Agreement only relates to Executive's employment relationship with SAIC and does not govern the terms of his employment as an employee of AMSEC.

        2.    SAIC Stock Ownership and Consulting Employee Status.    

        If the employment of Executive is terminated by SAIC for any reason other than cause (as defined below), Executive shall have the opportunity to transfer to Consulting Employee ("CE") status for up to four (4) years or if shorter, the period required to vest any unvested options ("Options") to purchase shares of Class A Common Stock of SAIC ("SAIC Stock") or vesting SAIC Stock held by Executive.

        (a)   While employed as a CE, Executive will be paid a mutually agreed upon rate of pay for any consulting services he provides to SAIC and/or any of its subsidiaries. The actual number of hours and/or days of consulting work Executive is offered, if any, will be at the sole discretion of SAIC.

        (b)   While employed as a CE, Executive will be provided with office space acceptable to Executive and will have the services of a part-time secretary.

        (c)   While employed as a CE, Executive will be eligible to participate in SAIC's group medical and dental plans and will be able to maintain his SAIC retirement plan accounts to the extent permitted by the terms of the plans and applicable law.

        (d)   While employed as a CE, Executive will be able to retain his SAIC Stock and any Options. Such stock and options will remain on their normal vesting schedule. Following Executive's retirement from CE status, he will be given the opportunity to participate in the SAIC Alumni Program which currently allows qualified employees the ability to retain their SAIC Stock for a period of five (5) years after they retire, provided such program is available to SAIC employees at that time.

        (e)   In the event of Executive's death during his employment at SAIC or any of its subsidiaries, all SAIC Options and unvested SAIC Stock held by Executive shall immediately vest for the benefit of Executive's estate. Such accelerated vesting is subject to final approval by the applicable SAIC Board Committees, if required.

        2.    Covenants Not to Compete.    

        During the five (5)-year period commencing on the date of this Agreement, Executive shall not compete, directly or indirectly, with SAIC or AMSEC LLC ("AMSEC"), interfere with, disrupt or attempt to disrupt the relationship, contractual or otherwise, between SAIC or AMSEC and any

1



customer, client, supplier, consultant or employee of SAIC or AMSEC, including, without limitation, employing or being an investor (representing more than a five percent (5%) equity interest) in, or officer, director or consultant to, any person or entity which employs any person who was a key or technical employee of SAIC or AMSEC during the previous twelve (12) months. Any activity competitive with an activity engaged in by SAIC or AMSEC shall include becoming an employee, officer, consultant or director of, or being an investor (representing more than a five percent (5%) equity interest) in, or owner of, an entity or person engaged in the business areas then engaged in by SAIC or AMSEC.

        It is the desire and intent of the parties that the provisions of this Section 2 shall be enforced to the fullest extent permissible under the laws and public policies applied in each jurisdiction in which enforcement is sought. Accordingly, if any particular portion of this Section 2 shall be adjudicated to be invalid or unenforceable, this Section 2 shall be deemed amended to delete therefrom the portion thus adjudicated to be invalid or unenforceable, such deletion to apply only with respect to the operation of this section in the particular jurisdiction in which such adjudication is made.

        3.    Termination of Employment.    

        Executive is an employee-at-will, and his employment may be terminated by SAIC at any time. SAIC shall be required to make a cash payment to Executive in the amount of the balance of his annual current salary through April 25, 2004, if either of the following events occurs: (i) SAIC terminates the employment of Executive for any reason other than cause (as defined herein) or (ii) if a Change in Control of AMSEC occurs and Executive's employment at AMSEC terminates within six months of such Change in Control.

        "Termination for Cause" shall mean the following:

              (i)  Willful failure of Executive to perform his duties as proscribed by SAIC or its Board of Directors; or

             (ii)  Dishonesty of employee materially and adversely affecting AMSEC or SAIC; or

            (iii)  Drunkenness or use of drugs or any controlled substance which (1) interferes with employee's ability to perform any of his job duties and responsibilities, or (2) violates SAIC's Administrative Policy A-18 "Drug and Substance Abuse"; or

            (iv)  Employee's conviction of a felony; or

             (v)  Any conduct by employee which violates SAIC's Administrative Policy A-26 "Computer Security and Usage" or constitutes (1) the commission of sexual harassment, (2) race, sex or age discrimination, (3) fraud or (4) gross misconduct and which is materially injurious to the Company or SAIC.

        "Change in Control" means (i) any merger, consolidation, or other business combination of the AMSEC with any other entity (other than a subsidiary of AMSEC), excluding any such transaction in which the shareholders of AMSEC immediately prior to such transaction continue to own immediately after the transaction securities representing at least 51% of the total ordinary voting power of the entity surviving such transaction and SAIC owns at least 51% of the securities held by the persons who were shareholders of AMSEC immediately prior to the transaction, (ii) the acquisition after the date hereof by any "person" or "group" of "persons" (as defined in Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) (other than a subsidiary of such person) of beneficial ownership (as defined in Rule 13d-1 and Rule 13d-5 promulgated under the Securities and Exchange Act) of 25% or more of the equity securities of AMSEC from SAIC or a subsidiary of SAIC, and (iii) the acquisition by any person or group of persons of all or substantially all of the assets of AMSEC.

2


        4.    Material Changes.    

        In the event SAIC materially and adversely changes Executive's responsibilities, then Executive shall have the right to terminate his employment with SAIC and receive Two Hundred Thousand Dollars ($200,000.00); provided Executive provides three (3) months prior written notice to SAIC. Within thirty (30) days following such a termination, SAIC shall pay to Executive in cash a termination bonus in the amount of Two Hundred Thousand Dollars ($200,000.00), provided the required prior written notice has been given.

        5.    Indemnification.    

        Each party shall indemnify and hold the other party harmless against all costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees incurred in the enforcement of this Agreement and the collection of any judgment rendered) incurred by such party with respect to the enforcement of their rights under this Agreement.

        6.    Modification, Amendment, Waiver.    

        No modification, amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement will be effective unless set forth in writing signed by SAIC and Executive. SAIC or Executive's failure at any time to enforce any provision of this Agreement will in no way be construed as a waiver of such provision and will not affect the right of SAIC and Executive thereafter to enforce each and every provision of this Agreement in accordance with its terms.

        7.    Severability.    

        Whenever possible, each provision of this Agreement will be interpreted to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect under any applicable law or rule in any jurisdiction, such provision will be ineffective only to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceable in such jurisdiction, without invalidating the remainder of this Agreement in such jurisdiction or any provision hereof in any other jurisdiction.

        8.    Descriptive Headings.    

        The descriptive headings of this Agreement are inserted for convenience and do not constitute a part of this Agreement.

        9.    Choice of Law.    

        All questions concerning the construction, validity and interpretation of this Agreement will be governed by and interpreted in accordance with the internal laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia without giving effect to its conflict of law provisions.

        10.    Venue.    

        Any dispute, claim or controversy of any kind or nature, including but not limited to the issue of arbitrability, arising out of or relating to this Agreement, or the breach thereof, or any disputes which may arise in the future, shall be settled in a final and binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") pursuant to the employment arbitration rules of the AAA. The Arbitrator must be an active member of the AAA's National Labor Panel and must be selected by the "alternate striking" procedure. Each party will bear its own costs in the arbitration process. All costs incurred in enforcing the arbitration award in court will be borne by the losing party. Judgment upon the award may be entered in any Virginia court having jurisdiction thereof.

June 13, 2002

Mr. Matthew J. Desch
17194 Preston Road, #102
Dallas, Texas 75248-1221

Dear Matt:

        I am pleased to offer you a position as Chief Executive Officer for Telcordia Technologies, Inc. (Telcordia)1, reporting directly to me as Chairman of Telcordia's Board. If you accept this position you will be nominated to membership on the Board of Directors of Science Applications International Corporation (SAIC) and the Board of Directors of Telcordia Technologies, Inc. Your assigned office location will be in New Jersey. Your monthly base salary will be $41,666.67, which is equivalent to a rate of $500,000.00 per year. We would like you to start work on Monday, July 8, 2002.


1
Nomination to officer status is subject to Board approval.

        As the senior member of the Telcordia management team, you will be eligible to participate in our annual incentive compensation plan, which has both a short-term and long-term component. Your target short-term performance bonus for the Telcordia fiscal year 2003 (FY03) which ends on January 31, 2003, will be $500,000, with the potential for up to $750,000 for extraordinary performance. Short-term bonuses are payable in cash and fully vested SAIC stock. You will also be eligible for a long-term performance bonus in the form of vesting stock and stock granted on option, the details of which will be explained in a separate letter. Your bonus for FY03 will be based on both corporate performance and achievement of your FY03 objectives (as determined by the Chairman of the Board), and may be pro-rated based on the number of months you are employed during FY03.

        This offer of employment also includes significant sign-on incentives and the opportunity to acquire stock in the SAIC. Specific information on the stock features of your employment offer will be covered in a separate letter.

        Telcordia will cover the cost of relocating you and your family from Texas to New Jersey, with relocation to occur at your earliest convenience. You will be reimbursed for the actual costs of relocating your household, including the cost of temporary living expenses, moving household goods, home travel to New Jersey prior to relocation, real estate acquisition expenses and loss protection benefits. You will also be provided a no interest "bridge loan" if needed, until your home in Texas is sold.

You agree to repay any relocation payments from Telcordia, should you resign your employment within one year of your start date.

        If your employment is terminated by Telcordia for reasons other than cause,3 or if you resign because you were demoted and/or because your base salary and/or target incentive compensation were reduced, Telcordia will provide you with separation benefits equal to eighteen months of your base salary paid as a lump sum, relocation benefits (not to exceed the benefit level provided in the preceding paragraph) and two years consulting status for purposes of vesting your unvested SAIC securities. The severance benefits described in this letter will be Telcordia's sole and exclusive


obligation to you in the event you are terminated for reasons other than cause or if you resign for the reasons described herein. In return for these separation benefits, you will be required to sign a release and a non-compete/non-solicitation agreement.4

"Cause" shall be defined as (i) a willful failure to substantially perform your duties, (ii) gross misconduct or, (iii) conviction of a felony.

Should Telcordia employ you, it is understood that you or the Company may terminate this employment relationship at any time, with or without notice.

1

You are expected to comply, and ensure that the Company complies, with all applicable laws and regulations.

If you have any questions regarding whether a law conflicts with this Code, you should consult with our General Counsel.

    3. Conflicts of Interest

        You must avoid any personal activity, investment or association that could interfere or even appear to interfere with your good judgment concerning SAIC's best interests. You may not exploit your position or relationship with SAIC for personal gain. You should avoid even the appearance of such a conflict. A conflict of interest occurs when your private interests interfere—or even appear to interfere—with the interests of SAIC. You must conduct the Company's business in an honest and ethical manner, including the handling or avoidance of actual or apparent conflicts of interest between personal and professional relationships. You must never act in a manner that could cause you to lose your independence and objectivity or that could adversely affect the confidence of our customers and suppliers or your fellow employees in the integrity of the Company.

        Conflicts of interest include, but are not limited to the examples set forth below. Although we cannot list every conceivable conflict, you must disclose any material transaction or relationship that reasonably could be expected to give rise to a conflict of interest to the SAIC's General Counsel or Audit Committee for proper consideration. If you are not sure whether a transaction or relationship may present a conflict of interest, you should consult with SAIC's General Counsel.

    Improper Personal Benefits—Conflicts of interest arise when you or a member of your family receives improper personal benefits as a result of your position with the Company. You may not accept any benefits from the Company that have not been duly authorized and approved by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors or generally available to all employees. Similarly, you may not accept improper personal benefits from any entity that does or seeks to do business with us.

    Financial Interests in Other Businesses—Neither you nor your immediate family members may have an ownership interest in any other enterprise if that interest compromises or appears to compromise your loyalty to the Company. For example, you may not own an interest in a business that competes or in which the Company has an investment. Similarly, you should not own an interest in a significant supplier or other companies that do business with the Company where your interest could create even the appearance of a conflict.

2


    Business Arrangements with the Company—Without the prior written approval of the Audit Committee, you may not participate in a joint venture, partnership, investment or other business arrangement with the Company or any of its affiliates.

    Corporate Opportunities—You owe a duty to the Company to advance its legitimate interests when the opportunity to do so arises.

    Family Members Working in the Industry—If your spouse or significant other, your children, parents or in-laws, or someone else with whom you have a family relationship is an employee, officer, director or significant stockholder (i.e., owns greater than a 5% equity interest) of a competitor, supplier or customer of the Company, you must disclose the situation to the General Counsel of SAIC. Where this is the case, you must be especially careful in guarding against inadvertently disclosing the Company's confidential information and being involved in decision on behalf of the Company that involve the other company.

    4. Fair Dealing and Confidentiality

        You must strive to deal fairly with the Company's customers, suppliers, competitors and employees and to conduct our business with integrity, honesty and fairness. You must respect and protect any confidential or proprietary information shared with us by customers, suppliers and others.

        As a Senior Officer, you have access to non-public information regarding the Company and other entities. You are not permitted to use or share that information for securities trading purposes or any purpose other than the conduct of our business. As a Senior Officer, you must maintain the confidentiality of non-public proprietary information entrusted to you by the Company, our customers and others with whom we transact business except when disclosure is authorized or legally mandated. Furthermore, to use non-public information for personal financial benefit or to "tip" others who might make an investment decision on the basis of this information is unethical and illegal. The misuse of confidential information may create substantial civil or even criminal liability for you and the Company. If you have any questions, please consult the General Counsel of the Company.

REPORTING OF VIOLATIONS OF CODE OF ETHICS

If you know of or suspect a violation of applicable laws or regulations or this Code of Ethics, you must immediately report that information to the Company's General Counsel or a member of the Audit Committee.

3

COMPLIANCE WITH CODE OF ETHICS

The Company intends to use every reasonable effort to prevent the occurrence of conduct not in compliance with this Code of Ethics and to halt any such conduct that may occur as soon as reasonably possible after its discovery.

CHANGES TO OR WAIVERS OF THE CODE OF ETHICS

        If you would like to seek a waiver of the Code of Ethics you must make full disclosure of your particular circumstances to Company's Audit Committee. The Audit Committee will waive application of the policies set forth in this Code of Ethics only when circumstances warrant granting a waiver, and then only in conjunction with any appropriate monitoring of the particular situation. Only the Board of Directors or the Audit Committee may change or waive provisions in this Code of Ethics.

        Any amendment, waiver or implicit waiver of any provision of this Code of Ethics for a Senior Officer will be disclosed on a Form 8-K or on the Company's website promptly in accordance with applicable SEC requirements. The Company will maintain any such disclosure on its website for at least 12 months after the Company initially posts such disclosure. Following such 12-month period, the Company shall retain such disclosure for at least five years.

NO RIGHTS CREATED
