PART I

 

 

Item 1.  Business.

 

                Analysts International Corporation and its subsidiaries (“Analysts International,” “Analysts” or the “Company”) is a highly diversified eBusiness and Information Technology consulting and services firm. The Company’s mission is to provide clients with IT vision and value in addressing their IT needs. Analysts International serves over 1,000 client companies through a network of sales offices. The Company also has a minor presence in Canada and the United Kingdom.

 

Approximately 90 percent of Analysts’ revenue are from services provided to its existing customer base, which consists primarily of Fortune 500® companies. This high percentage of repeat business demonstrates the Company’s emphasis on customer satisfaction and development of long-term relationships with customers who have an ongoing need for the services Analysts International provides. Analysts offers its clients a full range of information technology consulting and software services offerings sometimes referred to in the industry as “solutions.”  These services and solutions include custom software application development under Company project management, traditional supplemental IT and software engineering staffing under client project management, and single source staffing of programmers and other software professionals through the Company’s Managed Services Group.  The Company also assists clients with their service needs in areas such as eBusiness consulting, mobile and wireless computing, network infrastructure, applications development and legacy system maintenance.  The Company’s engagements have involved nearly every type and manufacture of computer and all of the major operating systems.

 

In April 2000, the Company acquired 80.1% of the outstanding common stock of SequoiaNET.com, Inc. (“Sequoia”).  The Company acquired the remaining 19.9% of Sequoia effective December 29, 2000.  The Company believes that Sequoia has strengthened the Company’s eBusiness capabilities, particularly in network infrastructure and web-based applications, and has given the Company market share dominance in the Detroit—Greater Michigan market.  The acquisition also brought the Company key relationships with Microsoft, Cisco, Dell, HP and other key vendors in the network infrastructure arena. The Company has combined SequoiaNET.com’s offerings with select offerings of the Company into Analysts International’s Sequoia Services Group. These practices include Internet Development, Applications Integration, Enterprise Networking, Product Procurement, Sequoia Connect, Field Engineering, Hosting and Call Center.  The Sequoia Services Group offers its services in other geographical markets through Analysts International’s 34 district sales offices and customer service sites.

 

One of Analysts International’s largest customers is Qwest Communications.  The Qwest unit served by the Company is headquartered in Denver and provides telecommunication services, as well as domestic and international cable and telephone, wireless communications, directory and information services.  To meet these needs, and to facilitate its management of the computer programmers and other technical personnel on assignment at Qwest, the Managed Services Group of the Company fills requirements, manages assigned personnel and provides time record keeping/billing services through proprietary software developed specifically for this service offering.  The Company’s contract expires January 31, 2003, subject to Qwest’s right to cancel on 45 days’ notice, with an automatic one-year extension.  Revenue from services provided to Qwest was approximately 15% for the year ended December 31, 2001, and approximately 13%, 22%, and 23% during the six month period ended December 31, 2000, and the two fiscal years ended June 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively.  Loss of this business could have a material adverse effect on the Company.

 

The Company has expanded the Managed Services Group offering to other clients, including Chevron Information Technology Company (Chevron Corporation’s technology subsidiaries), Salt River Project (the nation’s third largest public power utility), International Trucking, PacifiCare, and Motorola, including Motorola’s Semi-Conductor Products subsidiary.  These Managed Services Group customers use the Company as their sole source for supplemental IT/software engineering staffing.

 

Analysts International provides services through all of its districts to various divisions of International Business Machines Corporation (IBM).  The Company is a national service provider under IBM’s National Procurement initiative.  During the six-months ended December 31, 2000, the Company successfully underwent a re-bidding process with IBM, and was awarded a three-year contract as one of only five national service providers.  The Company’s contract with IBM expires October 31, 2003, subject to IBM’s right to cancel for convenience on 30 days’ written notice.  IBM’s National Procurement initiative requires the Company and other participating vendors to accept lower hourly rates in return for the opportunity to do a greater volume of business with IBM.  There can be no assurance, however, that volume will offset lower rates.  IBM business under the national contract accounted for approximately 15% of revenue in the year ended December 31, 2001, and 14%, 17% and 16% of revenue in the six month period ended December 31, 2000 and in each of the last two fiscal years ended June 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively.  Loss of this business could have a material adverse effect on the Company.

                Analysts International provides its services to a wide range of industries.  Its revenue for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2001, was derived from services rendered to customers in the following industry groups:

                Analysts International provided services to more than 1,000 clients during the year ended December 31, 2001.  Consistent with its practices in prior years, the Company rendered these services almost exclusively on a time and materials hourly rate basis under which invoices for services rendered were submitted no less frequently than monthly with payment generally due in 30 days.

 

Organization and Marketing

                Analysts International provides its software services through its district sales and customer service offices, assigned on a geographical basis to one of two regions.  Each district sales office is staffed with technical personnel and is managed by a district sales manager (DSM), who has primary responsibility for the profitability of the district.  The DSM has broad authority to conduct the operation of the office, subject to adherence to corporate policies.  In general, customer service offices are established to support specific projects for one or more specific customers at locations not served by a district sales office and are managed by a district sales office within the same geographical region.  A customer service office may become a district sales office when the volume of business and the prospects for additional business justify the additional expenses associated with district office status.

 

During the year ended December 31, 2001, the Company maintained offices in the following locations: Atlanta, Austin, Boca Raton, Chicago, Cincinnati/Dayton, Cleveland, Columbus (Ohio), Dallas, Danbury, Denver, Des Moines, Detroit, Houston, Indianapolis, Kansas City, Iselin (New Jersey), Lexington (Kentucky), Los Angeles, Minneapolis, New York City, Omaha, Phoenix, Portland, Raleigh/Durham, Rochester (Minnesota), Rochester (New York), St. Louis, San Francisco, Seattle, Silicon Valley, Tampa, Toronto, Canada and Tulsa.

 

Analysts International utilizes its own direct sales force to sell its services.  At December 31, 2001, the Company’s sales staff totaled more than 120 in number.  The ability to recruit and hire experienced technical personnel with backgrounds and experience suitable for customer requirements is an important factor in the Company’s business.  At December 31, 2001, the Company’s recruiting staff totaled more than 50 in number.

 

Competition

                Analysts International competes with the software consulting divisions of several large companies (including Accenture, IBM, Olsten, Volt and Manpower) on a national basis.  These organizations and their software consulting divisions are substantially larger than the Company in terms of sales volume and personnel and have substantially greater financial resources.

 

The Company also competes with other national software services companies such as Computer Task Group, Ciber,
Keane Inc. and Computer Horizons.

 

The Company’s district and customer services offices compete in local market areas with numerous regional and locally based software services firms.  Most of these competitors are approximately the same size as or smaller than the Company’s local office, although in certain market areas they are larger than the Company’s local office.

 

Analysts believes its total staff and sales volume are larger than most of the national, regional and local software services companies, but in some market areas certain of these competitors may be larger.  Although there are no comprehensive industry statistics available, the Company believes it is among the ten largest national software services companies in the United States.

 

Principal competitive factors in the software services business include technical expertise, responsiveness to customers’ needs, reputation and credibility, and hourly rates.  Analysts International believes it is competitive in these respects.

3



 

Personnel

                Analysts International has approximately 3,800 personnel. Of these, approximately 3,200 are systems analysts, computer programmers and other business/technology personnel whose services are billable to clients.  Several years of programming experience is generally a prerequisite to employment with the Company.

 

Maintaining the present volume of the Company’s business and growing that business depends to a significant extent on the Company’s ability to attract and retain qualified technical personnel.  Although the Company has been able to attract and retain qualified technical personnel and believes its personnel relations are satisfactory, there can be no assurance that Analysts International will be able to continue to attract and retain such personnel.  Its inability to do so could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business.

 

Other Matters

                Analysts International was incorporated under Minnesota law on March 29, 1966.  Its principal office is identified in response to Item 2 below.  Raw materials, seasonality, compliance with environmental protection laws, and patents, trademarks, licenses, franchises or other concessions are not material to an understanding of the Company’s business.  No portion of the Company’s business is subject to re-negotiation of profits at the election of the government.  Backlog is not material because nearly all of the Company’s contracts for services, including contracts with the government (which are not material), are terminable by either the customer or the Company on notice of 30 days or less.

 

 

Cautionary Statement under the Safe Harbor Provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.

 

          The statements included in this document that are not strictly historical fact, including without limitation, the Company’s statements relating to the continued need of current and prospective customers for the Company’s services and the Company’s ability to win that business, the effects of competition and the Company’s ability to respond to competitive conditions, the availability of qualified professional staff, the Company’s ability to increase billing rates as labor costs increase, the Company’s ability to maintain gross margin levels and control operating cost increases, the Company’s belief they will have the ability to secure favorable terms for the refinancing of the Company’s debt and the Company’s ability to achieve and maintain profitability are forward looking statements made under the safe harbor provision of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act.  Words such as “believes,” “intends,” “possible,” “expects,” “estimates,” “anticipates,” or “plans” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements.  Such statements are based on the Company’s current expectations as of the date of this document but involve risks, uncertainties and other factors which could cause actual results to differ materially from those contemplated by such forward looking statements.  Investors are cautioned to consider these forward looking statements in light of important factors which may result in variations from results contemplated by such forward looking statements.

Recent Announcements

On February 26, 2002 it was announced that Frederick W. Lang, Founder, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board of Directors of Analysts International, would retire as the April 30, 2002. That same day, the Company announced that Michael J. LaVelle, President and Chief Operating Officer, would succeed Lang as Chief Executive Officer and that John D.

To Our Shareholders

 

 

Analysts International faced a challenging and difficult business environment in 2001, as did all of the major players in our industry. It was a year that saw a significant reduction in the IT budgets of many of our clients and a year that saw the national tragedy of September 11th. These and other factors contributed to as uncertain a market as we have ever experienced. Yet, despite the challenges and the difficulties, we were able to meet a number of our objectives for the year.

 

We managed the business to operational profitability in an environment when many in the industry did not. Revenue for the year totaled $552 million, down slightly from the $559 million reported for the twelve months ended December 31, 2000. Cash earnings for the year were $0.10 per diluted share, compared with $0.38 per diluted share for 2000. Cash earnings per share excludes the amortization of goodwill and other intangible assets, along with restructuring and other unusual charges. For the year ended December 31, 2001, the net loss was $3.0 million, or $(0.12) per diluted share, compared with a loss of $2.6 million, or $(0.12) per diluted share, in the prior year. The year’s results include a fourth on investment is a write-off of an equity investment in a private, Minneapolis-based software company specializing in the storage and transmission of high volume data.

Although we believe the technology remains viable and the company has active customers, the loss of a significant contract makes future prospects uncertain; we have no other such investments. For a more in-depth discussion of the to the “Management’s Discussion and Analysis” section of this annual report.

With a strong focus on the future of IT, we became a stronger, leaner and more versatile company over the past year. We have built on the strengths of our 35 years of experience, our solid customer relationships and our superior technical resources, especially our knowledgeable staff of IT professionals and engineers. In the report that follows we are pleased to be able to provide you a summary of the scope of our service offerings and four recent case studies that highlight our expertise and our commitment to customer satisfaction.

During the year, we shifted our business mix to provide a more diversified yet balanced set of services in high-growth markets, developed a centralized, customer-focused sales organization and created a lean operating model to weather the economic downturn.

Although there was an across-the-board drop in demand for IT services, we maintained our client base, providing services to almost half of the Fortune 100, and won several new accounts over the past year. We forged new customer relationships in the areas of Solutions and Infrastructure services, hosting services, Web development, telecommunications and network engineering.

We believe the future of Analysts International is bright. According to industry analyst firm I.D.C., U.S. spending for Internet-related services is forecast to grow from $11.2 billion in 2000 to $30.9 billion in 2005, and spending in the area of network security services is expected to grow from $5.1 billion in 2000 to $14.2 billion in 2005. The Gartner Group, another key analyst firm, forecasts that the overall IT services market will reach $603 billion in 2002, growing at a rate of 8.9 percent. In listening to our customers, we learned that we are well positioned to provide the kinds of IT services that businesses need going forward, helping them leverage their current IT investments as well as implementing additional technologies that will take them, and us, forward toward a profitable future.

Looking ahead in 2002, most analysts expect to see the market stabilize in the first half of the year and improve in the second half. While revenues for 2002 will be less than 2001, as the economy recovers, we expect to see an improvement in operating profitability for the year and a return to net profitability in the second half of the year.

In closing, we would like to note that Analysts International was again recognized in a number of significant ways in 2001. IT Services Business Report ranked us 13th among the top revenue producing IT services firms in the United States, ComputerWorld listed us among the 100 best information technology companies to work for, and Microsoft Corporation named us as the recipient of its Worldwide Infrastructure Solution of the Year Award. This recognition is due in large part to the dedication of our employees and management to the fundamental values of excellence, integrity and innovation. On their behalf and on behalf of our directors, we would like to thank you, our customers and shareholders, for your ongoing interest and support.

Sincerely,

We changed our fiscal year end to December 31 from June 30, effective December 31, 2000. References to fiscal 2000 and 1999 relate to the years ended June 30, 2000 and 1999.

 

Results of Operations, Year Ended December 31, 2001 vs. Year Ended December 31, 2000

 

Total revenues for the year ended December 31, 2001 were $551.7 million, a decrease of $7.5 million, or 1.3%, from the year ended December 31, 2000. Revenues provided directly for the twelve months ended December 31, 2001 were $411.4 million, a decrease of $18.8 million, or 4.4%, from the same period of 2000. Had the Sequoia acquisition taken place on January 1, 2000, revenue provided directly for the year ended December 31, 2000 would have been $17.6 million higher, resulting in an 8.1% decrease in 2001. Nearly all of this decrease in revenue is the result of a 15.0% decrease in billable hours, which is the result of increased competition in the area of supplemental staffing, an industry-wide slowdown and the general state of the economy. The decrease in billable hours was partially offset by an increase in hourly rates charged in our supplemental staffing business. While we have been able to increase rates somewhat over the prior year, there can be no assurance we will be able to continue this as competitive conditions in the industry make it difficult to continually increase the hourly rates we charge for services. Revenues provided through subsupplier billings, primarily with Qwest and IBM, increased $11.4 million, or 8.8%, in the twelve months ended December 31, 2001 as compared to the twelve months ended December 31, 2000. This increase in subsupplier revenues resulted from increases in billable hours of service rendered to these clients, and the addition of new clients under our Managed Services offering. Our subsupplier revenue is mainly pass-through revenue with associated fees providing minimal profit.

 

Personnel totaled 3,800 at December 31, 2001, compared to 4,750 at December 31, 2000. Of the December 31, 2001 total, 3,200 were technical consultants. Much of the overall decrease from 2000 to 2001 consisted of billable technical consultants; however, our administrative and management personnel decreased by 200 as a result of our reorganization and restructuring efforts. Salaries, contracted services and direct charges, which represent primarily our direct labor costs, were 83.0% of revenue in the twelve months ended December 31, 2001 compared to 81.6% of revenues in the same period of 2000. The increase in this expense category as a percentage of revenue is mainly a consequence of normal increases in direct labor rates and reduced hourly rates on some client contracts. Excluding both revenue and labor costs associated with subsupplier contracts, this category of expense was 77.1% of revenue in the twelve month period of 2001, and 76.1% in the comparable period of 2000. Salaries, contracted services and direct charges for the period ended

 

 

12



 

December 31, 2001 included approximately $1.8 million of increased benefit costs. Salaries, contracted services and direct charges for the period ended December 31, 2000 included approximately $3.0 million of unusual costs. These unusual costs consisted of compensation for terminations deemed not to be a part of the restructuring plan and costs of the change in our fiscal year. Without these unusual costs, salaries, contractual services and other direct charges would have been 75.4% of revenue in 2000 and 76.7% in 2001. Our efforts to control these costs involve controlling labor costs, passing on labor cost increases through increased billing rates where possible, and maintaining productivity levels of billable technical consultants. Even though we have taken steps to control this category of expense, there can be no assurance we will be able to return to historical gross margin levels due to intense competition in the industry, which makes it difficult to sustain such gross margin levels.

 

Selling, administrative and other operating (SG&A) costs include commissions paid to sales representatives and recruiters, location and administrative costs. As a percentage of revenue, SG&A was 15.9% in the twelve months ended December 31, 2001 and 17.2% in the same period of 2000. Excluding the subsupplier revenue associated with our subsupplier contracts, this percentage would have been 21.4% for 2001, and 22.4% for 2000. The overall decrease in this category of costs resulted directly from our efforts to reduce costs through reorganization and through reduced labor costs for non-technical personnel, primarily by reducing personnel through our restructuring efforts. The decrease in SG&A is offset by the fact that SG&A costs during the year ended December 31, 2000 included $4.9 million of unusual bad debt costs and consulting and travel costs associated with our restructuring initiatives.

 

Amortization of goodwill and intangible assets increased to $3.2 million in the twelve months ended December 31, 2001 compared to $2.1 million for the same period in 2000. This increase is a result of the purchase of Sequoia and the amortization of the associated intangible assets for a full year in 2001 versus eight months in 2000.

 

We recorded a restructuring expense of $7.0 million in 2000, but had no such expense during the current period. During 2001, we paid $2.2 million of severance costs and $1.5 million associated with office closures and consolidations resulting from the restructuring.  At December 31, 2001, the remaining accrual for office closures and consolidations was $2.6 million.

 

Non-operating income, consisting primarily of interest income, declined to $247,000 during the twelve months ended December 31, 2001 down from $391,000 during the same period of 2000. Interest expense increased to $2.9 million from $2.4 million during the December 31, 2001 period. These changes are the result of lower cash reserves and higher debt levels during the current period, primarily as a result of the use of cash to purchase Sequoia on April 25, 2000.

 

We recorded a $3.0 million loss during 2001 related to a 1999 equity investment in a privately held Minneapolis-based software company specializing in the storage and transmission of high volume data. Although we believe the technology deployed by this company remains viable and the company has active customers, future prospects of the company are uncertain. We have no other such investments.

 

We recorded an income tax expense of $216,000 during the twelve months ended December 31, 2001 in spite of the $2.8 million pre-tax loss, primarily due to the effect of items deducted to arrive at book income that are not deductible for tax purposes. This figure includes the loss of the investment of $3.0 million which represents a capital loss for tax purposes. We do not expect to generate capital gains to enable us to utilize this capital loss during the carry-forward period. The effective tax benefit rate in the comparable period of 2000 was 38%.

 

As a result of the factors discussed above, we reported a net loss in the current twelve month period of $3.0 million compared with net loss of $2.6 million for the same period of 2000.

 

Inflation has not had a major impact on our operations because revenues are derived primarily from services billed at hourly rates, which are generally subject to renegotiation on a periodic basis.

 

Results of Operations, Six Months Ended December 31, 2000 vs. Six Months Ended December 31, 1999

 

Revenue provided directly for the six months ended December 31, 2000 were $227 million, an increase of 4.6% from levels for the same period of 1999. Excluding approximately $32.0 million of revenue generated by the acquisition of Sequoia during the period ended December 31, 2000, revenue provided directly declined by 10.1% period to period. Nearly all of this decrease is the result of a 10.2% decrease in billable hours due to an industry-wide slowdown. The decrease in billable hours was partially offset by an increase in hourly rates charged in the Company’s supplemental staffing business. Revenue provided through subsupplier billings, primarily with Qwest and IBM, decreased 13.5% in the six months ended December 31, 2000 as compared to the six months ended December 31, 1999. This decrease in subsupplier revenue resulted from an overall decrease in billable hours of service rendered to these clients.

 

Personnel totaled 4,750 at December 31, 2000, including 580 employees associated with the Sequoia acquisition, compared to 4,700 at December 31, 1999. Excluding the Sequoia employees, the number of personnel had fallen 530, or 11.3%, to 4,170 at December 31, 2000. Much of

 

13



 

the decrease from 1999 to 2000 consisted of billable technical consultants; however, our administrative and management personnel decreased by 100 as part of our reorganization and restructuring efforts.

 

Salaries, contracted services and direct charges, which represent primarily our direct labor costs, were 81.6% of revenues in the six months ended December 31, 2000 compared to 80.3% of revenues in the same period of 1999. The increase in this expense category as a percentage of revenue was mainly a consequence of: (i) normal increases in direct labor rates; (ii) unusually high idle time for technical personnel during the month of December 2000 caused by inclement weather conditions in certain key markets; and (iii) approximately $3.0 million of compensation-related payments for terminations deemed not to be a part of the restructuring plan and costs of the change in our fiscal year. Excluding both revenue and labor costs associated with subsupplier contracts, this category of expense was 76.6% of revenues in the six month period of 2000 and 73.9% in the comparable period of 1999.

 

Selling, administrative and other operating costs include commissions paid to sales representatives and recruiters, employee fringe benefits and location costs. These costs, as a percentage of revenue, were 18.5% in the six months ended December 31, 2000, and 16.2% in the same period of 1999. Excluding the sub-supplier revenues associated with the contracts referred to above, this percentage would have been 23.5% for 2000, and 21.5% for 1999. The increase in this expense category as a percentage of revenue is primarily a result of a provision for bad debts, which exceeded historical levels by approximately $3.1 million, and consulting and travel costs associated with the restructuring, which totaled approximately $1.8 million. The increase in bad debt is largely due to the write-off of several large balances due from dot-com companies.

 

Amortization of goodwill and intangible assets increased to $1.4 million in the six months ended December 31, 2000 compared to $331,000 for the same period in 1999. This increase is a result of the purchase of Sequoia on April 25, 2000, and the amortization of the associated intangible assets.

 

In December 2000, we recorded a restructuring charge of $7.0 million. Of this charge, $2.6 million related to workforce reductions of approximately 120 employees (primarily non-billable staff). In addition, we consolidated our six regions to four and our 45 branch and field locations to 15 district sales offices. While we maintain a presence in most of the 30 locations which were not converted to district sales offices, the need for office space in these locations has declined. As a result, we established a reserve of $4.4 million to cover lease termination and abandonment costs (net of sublease income), including an amount for assets to be disposed of in this consolidation.

 

Non-operating income, consisting primarily of interest income, declined to $68,000 during the six months ended December 31, 2000 from $1.1 million during the same period of 1999. Interest expense increased to $1.5 million from $702,000 during the same periods. These changes are the result of lower cash reserves and higher debt levels during the six-month period ending December 31, 2000, primarily as a result of the use of cash to purchase Sequoia on April 25, 2000.

 

An income tax benefit of $3.9 million during the six months ended December 31, 2000 is reflective of a 39% effective tax benefit rate which is the same effective tax rate as in the comparable period of 1999. These net operating losses were carried back to obtain refunds.

 

As a result of the factors discussed above, the Company incurred a net loss in the six month period ended December 31, 2000 of $6.3 million compared with net income of $6.1 million for the same period of 1999.

 

Results of Operations, Year Ended June 30, 2000 vs. Year Ended June 30, 1999

 

Revenue provided directly for the year ended June 30, 2000 were $420 million, a decrease of 12.6% from 1999 levels. Nearly all of these decreases were the result of a 17.2% decrease in core billable hours, which was a result of an industry-wide slowdown. The decrease in billable hours was partially offset by $9.4 million of revenue associated with the acquisition of Sequoia NET.com on April 25, 2000 and a 3.2% increase in hourly rates charged in our core business. Revenue provided through subsupplier billings, primarily with Qwest and IBM, decreased .6 % in fiscal 2000 from 1999. These decreases in subsupplier revenue resulted from an overall decrease in billable hours of service rendered to these clients.

 

Personnel totaled 4,800 at June 30, 2000, including 575 employees associated with the Sequoia acquisition, compared to 4,900 at June 30, 1999. Excluding the Sequoia employees, personnel levels had fallen 675 or 13.8% to 4,225 at June 30, 2000. Substantially all of the decrease from 1999 to 2000 consisted of billable technical consultants.

 

Salaries, contracted services and direct charges, which represent primarily the 81.0% of revenue in fiscal 2000 compared to 78.5% of revenue in fiscal 1999. The increase in this expense category as a percentage of revenue was mainly a consequence of: (i) normal increases in direct labor rates; and (ii) unusually high idle time as the Company elected to retain higher than needed consultant levels during the second half of the year, in anticipation of an earlier recovery from the industry-wide slowdown. Excluding both revenue and labor costs associated with subsupplier contracts, this category of expense was 74.7% of revenue in fiscal 2000, and 72.3% in fiscal 1999.

 

Selling, administrative and other operating costs include commissions paid to sales representatives and recruiters, employee fringe benefits and location costs. These costs, as a

 

14



 

percentage of revenue, were 16.0% in fiscal 2000, and 15.6% in 1999. Excluding the revenue associated with the subsupplier contracts referenced above, this percentage would have been 21.3% for fiscal 2000, and 20.2% for fiscal 1999. The increase in these expense categories as a percentage of revenue was a consequence of revenue declining more rapidly during fiscal 2000 than these expense categories.

 

Income taxes decreased from $14.5 million in fiscal 1999 to $5.7 million in fiscal 2000. The effective rate of income taxes decreased from 39% of pre-tax income in 1999 to 36.4% in 2000 primarily due to the reversal of taxes provided for in previous years.

 

Net income in fiscal 2000 decreased 56.9% from fiscal 1999. As a percentage of total revenue, net income was 1.8% in fiscal 2000 as compared to 3.7% in fiscal 1999. The Company’s net income as a percentage of revenue for services provided directly was 2.3% and 4.7% for fiscal years 2000 and 1999, respectively.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Working capital at December 31, 2001 was $16.6 million, down 65.3% from $47.8 million at December 31, 2000, which was down 14.3% from $55.8 million at June 30, 2000. The current year decrease in working capital is primarily the result of the reclassification of all of our debt from a long-term liability to a current liability. During the fourth quarter of 2001, we began pursuing options for refinancing of our debt since on a number of occasions during 2001 we failed to meet operating covenant requirements and sought and received amendments to the agreements. We did not complete this refinancing by the end of the year. As a result, we did not meet operating and other requirements of our credit line and Note Purchase Agreement. Therefore, effective December 28, 2001, reflective of our continuing desire to restructure our debt, we amended our bank line of credit and our Note Purchase Agreement to move the maturities on these instruments to June 30, 2002, and to eliminate all but two operating covenants. Subsequent to December 31, 2001, we have obtained a commitment to refinance this debt and we expect to close this transaction during the first half of 2002. See further discussion below regarding this $55.0 million commitment. Current assets include cash and cash equivalents of $18.2 million at December 31, 2001 compared to $2.2 million at December 31, 2000 and $2.0 million at June 30, 2000 and accounts receivable of $83.3 million at December 31, 2001, compared to $98.5 million at December 31, 2000 and $98.4 million at June 30, 2000. Absent the effect of debt classifications, the ratios of current assets to current liabilities and total assets to total liabilities have increased since December 31, 2000.

 

Our primary need for working capital is to support accounts receivable resulting from our business and to fund the time lag between payroll disbursement and receipt of fees billed to clients. Over the past three years, we have been able to support changes in our business, except for the acquisition of Sequoia and the purchase of the headquarters building, with internally generated funds. More recently, as revenues and payroll have declined, our need for working capital to support accounts receivable has also declined, resulting in larger cash reserves. When our revenues and payroll begin to grow again, we would expect our need for working capital to once again increase.

 

In January of 2000, we obtained a $25.0 million bank line of credit. This line of credit was increased to $30.0 million in December 2000. On April 25, 2000, the Company drew down $13.0 million on the line of credit and utilized $30.5 million of its cash balances to complete the acquisition of SequoiaNET.com, Inc. Following the December 2001 amendment, which reduced the line of credit back down to $25.0 million, there was $4.0 million available to be drawn on the line of credit at December 31, 2001. The line of credit bears interest at 9%.

 

On December 30, 1998, we entered into a Note Purchase Agreement whereby we sold $20.0 million of 7% Senior Notes. These notes bear interest at 9%, require a $1.5 million principal payment on March 29, 2002 and mature on June 30, 2002.

 

Following the December 28, 2001 amendments, the credit line and Note Purchase Agreement contain provisions requiring us to maintain minimum monthly earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA), and trailing three-month “Net Cash Flow,” defined as EBITDA less cash paid for taxes, capital expenditures, restructuring charges, interest expense, and principal paid on Senior Notes. The credit line and Note Purchase Agreement restrict payment of dividends on common stock. We believe the provisions imposed by these amendments are achievable based on our expected operating results during the first half of 2002.

 

Subsequent to our December 2001 amendments, we have obtained a commitment from a major financial institution to extend us a $55.0 million line of credit secured by the assets of the Company. The commitment carries a three-year term with interest to be charged at either the London InterBank Offered Rate (LIBOR) plus 3.0% or the Prime Rate plus 0.75%.

 

Upon refinancing of our existing debt, we expect to record a pre-tax loss on the early extinguishment of debt of approximately $1.0 million. This is primarily related to make-whole payments associated with the 1998 Note Purchase Agreement and the write-off of costs associated with the previous financings which were being amortized over the original terms of those agreements.

 

In addition to this $55.0 million line of credit, to increase availability of working capital for future growth, we are currently evaluating options with respect to our corporate headquarters building. Possible options include a sale and partial lease-back of the facility or obtaining a long-term

 

 

15



 

mortgage on the facility. The sale of the building, should we decide to sell it in the current real estate market, would likely result in a loss of $1.5 to $2.5 million.

 

During the twelve months ended December 31, 2001, we made capital expenditures totaling $4.9 million compared to $2.1 million in the six month period ended December 31, 2000, and $3.4 million in fiscal year 2000. These capital expenditures were funded through a combination of unsecured debt and cash reserves. Fiscal 2002 capital spending is expected to approximate $3.0 million.

 

In October 2001, the Board of Directors voted to suspend the quarterly dividend to retain capital. The amount of future quarterly dividends, if any, will be based on results of operations, available cash, obligations in our financing agreements and anticipated cash requirements of the business.

 

In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (SFAS) Nos. 141, “Business Combinations” and 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.” SFAS No. 141 was effective for all business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001, and has had no impact on our financial statements. SFAS No. 142 addresses how intangible assets should be accounted for, and is effective for our fiscal year beginning January 1, 2002. We expect to adopt SFAS No. 142 during the first quarter of fiscal year 2002. Amortization recorded during the years ended December 31, 2001 and 2000 was $3.2 million and $2.1 million, respectively. Upon adoption of SFAS No. 142, this amortization is expected to decline significantly. As of December 31, 2001 and 2000, we had net goodwill and other intangible assets of approximately $45.7 million and $49.3 million, respectively. Based on a review of the standard and preliminary impairment assessment, management believes we will record a goodwill impairment charge upon adoption, and the amount of such charge is likely to be significant in relation to our unamortized goodwill balance. Such impairment charge will be recorded as a cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle and therefore will not impact operating income.

 

During the period ended December 31, 2000, we adopted Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101 “Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements.” The impact of the adoption of this bulletin was not material.

 

On July 1, 2000, we adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (SFAS) No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities,” as amended by SFAS No. 138, “Accounting for Certain Derivative Instruments and Certain Hedging Activities.” Management has reviewed the requirements of SFAS No. 133 and has determined that they have no free-standing or embedded derivatives. All agreements that contain provisions meeting the definition of a derivative also meet the requirements of, and have been designated as, normal purchases or sales. Our policy is not to use free-standing derivatives and not to enter into contracts with terms that cannot be designated as normal purchases or sales.

 

On April 25, 2000, we purchased an 80.1% interest in SequoiaNET.com, Inc. for $43.5 million. Effective December 29, 2000, we acquired the remaining 19.9% of SequoiaNET.com in exchange for common shares valued at $6.1 million and notes payable totaling $3.3 million. SequoiaNET.com, which provided network installation and support services and other eBusiness services, has been effectively merged and now makes up a significant portion of our Infrastructure and Business Solutions practices of our Sequoia Services Group. SequoiaNET.com reported $57.7 million in revenues with pre-tax profits of $3.8 million for the year ended  December 31, 1999.

 

During the third quarter of the fiscal year ending June 30, 2000, we invested $3.0 million in an alliance partner, a software company specializing in the storage and transmission of high volume data. Due to the uncertain future prospects of this company, this investment was written off in 2001. See discussion under Results of Operations and Financial Condition.

 

We believe funds generated from our business, current cash balances and credit available under the new credit facility will be adequate to meet demands placed upon our resources by our operations and capital investments.

 

Market Conditions,Business Outlook and Risks to Our Business

 

Forward Looking Statements

 

The statements contained in the letter from the CEO and the President and in “Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” that are not strictly historical fact, including without limitation, our statements relating to the continued need of current and prospective customers for our services and our ability to win that business, the effects of competition and our ability to respond to competitive conditions, the availability of qualified professional staff, our ability to increase billing rates as labor costs increase, our ability to maintain gross margin levels and control operating cost increases, our belief that we will have the ability to secure favorable terms for the refinancing of our debt and our ability to achieve and maintain profitability are forward looking statements made under the safe harbor provision of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act. Words such as “believes,” “intends,” “possible,” “expects,” “estimates,” “anticipates,” or “plans” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward looking statements. Such statements are based on management’s current expectations as of the date of this document but involve risks, uncertainties and other factors which could cause actual results to differ materially from those contemplated by such forward looking statements. Investors are cautioned to consider these forward looking statements in light of important factors which may result in variations from results

 

 

16



 

contemplated by such forward looking statements including, but not limited to, the risk factors discussed below.

 

For the past two years, several competitive conditions have affected our industry. The number of large competitors, the industry-wide slowdown and the general state of the economy have created pricing pressures in the technical staff augmentation sector of the computer consulting industry. Staff augmentation continues to represent almost half of total revenue (revenue from services provided directly to client (direct revenue) plus revenue from services provided to our clients by subsuppliers (subsupplier revenue)) and well over half of our direct revenue. While we expect the industry slowdown to begin to reverse in 2002, there can be no assurance as to when, or if, revenue will return to previous levels. Our ability to respond to these conditions will bear directly on our performance.

 

Increased competition in the area of technical staff augmentation has created pressure on billable hourly rates, and clients have begun to request increasingly lower cost models for staff augmentation services. As a result, while we were able to increase billing rates slightly over the prior year, there can be no assurance we will be able to continue to do so or to return to historical gross margin levels. Management expects that clients will continue for the foreseeable future to request lower cost offerings for staff augmentation services through e-procurement systems, extremely competitive bidding processes, the granting of various types of discounts and the use of off-shore resources. We are considering various low-cost alternatives, including relationships with e-procurement software vendors and off-shore service providers, in response to these developments in the industry, and we have implemented new software and internet capabilities in our recruiting function. Our ability to respond to customer requests for lower pricing or to provide other low cost solutions in this area of our business will have a direct effect on our performance. Management expects competitive conditions in the area of technical staff augmentation to continue for the foreseeable future, although it expects that demand for these services will increase as the general economy begins to recover.

 

Increased competition could affect our ability to obtain and retain client contracts. Our two top clients are IBM and Qwest. In 2001, these clients each represented 15% of our revenues. During the six-month transition period, these clients represented 14% and 13% of our revenue, respectively. During fiscal years ending June 30, 2000 and 1999, IBM represented 17% and 16% of revenue, respectively; and Qwest represented 22% and 23% of revenue, respectively. While we have reduced our dependence on each of these clients, loss of either of these client relationships or a significant portion thereof could have a material adverse effect on the Company.

 

Our ability to control labor costs, employee benefit costs and other costs also will affect our future performance. In an effort to contain our benefits costs, we implemented substantial changes to our benefits plans for fiscal year 2002. While we believe the changes we implemented will be effective, the actual results from these changes may vary due to factors we cannot control such as rising medical costs, the amount of medical services used by our employees and similar factors. We have streamlined our operations by consolidating offices, reducing administrative and management personnel and continue to review our company structure for more efficient methods of operating our business and delivering our services. We may not be able to continue to reduce costs without affecting our ability to deliver service to our clients and therefore may choose to forego particular cost reductions if we believe it would be prudent to do so for the future business of the Company.

 

As a result of the pricing and other competitive pressures affecting the technical staff augmentation area of our business, management has sought and plans to continue to seek new customers for our other service offerings, especially with small and medium size companies. Management plans to continue adding new customers or obtaining contracts with existing customers in the areas of software and web site development and maintenance (business solutions), network infrastructure services, computer security and criminal justice. While we believe these areas of our business present opportunities to grow our business, growth in these areas will depend on improvement in spending in the overall IT services market, our ability to compete with other vendors and how successful we are at obtaining new clients.

 

We believe the provisions imposed by the December 2001 amendments to our credit line and Note Purchase Agreement are achievable based on our expected operating results during the first half of 2002. We expect to complete our refinancing before the June 30, 2002 maturity date of our existing debt. However, if we were unable to complete this financing, it could have a material adverse impact on our ability to operate on a daily basis or to support growth in our business. If this were to occur, we may choose to enter into a sale and lease-back transaction or arrange for a long-term mortgage on our corporate headquarters building.

 

Our existing credit facilities bear interest at a fixed rate, minimizing our exposure to market risk. The new financing transaction, which is expected to close during the first half of 2002, will carry a variable interest rate, which will expose us to certain market risk. Market risk is the potential loss arising from the adverse changes in market rates and prices, such as interest rates. Market risk is estimated as the potential increase in fair value resulting from a hypothetical one percent increase in interest rates which, assuming an average outstanding debt balance of $30.0 million, would result in an annual interest expense increase of approximately $300,000.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

 

A. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Description of business. Analysts International Corporation is a diversified IT services company. Services are provided through the Sequoia Services Group, which provides business solutions and network infrastructure services; the Managed Services Group, which provides a comprehensive range of outsourced business functions; and IT Supplemental Resources (also referred to as Technical Staff Augmentation), which provides high demand resources for supporting clients’ IT staffing needs.

 

Basis of presentation. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

 

As described in Note J, on April 25, 2000, the Company completed the acquisition of 80.1% of SequoiaNET.com. The acquisition was accounted for as a purchase. The accompanying financial statements include 100% of SequoiaNET.com’s operating results for the period from April 25, 2000 to December 31, 2000, offset by the minority shareholders’ interest in Sequoia's net earnings. Effective December 29, 2000, the Company acquired the remaining 19.9% of Sequoia.

 

Change in fiscal year. Analysts International changed its fiscal year end to December 31 from June 30, effective December 31, 2000. References to fiscal 2000 and 1999 relate to the years ended June 30, 2000 and 1999.

 

Unaudited consolidated statements of operations and cash flows for the twelve months ended December 31, 2000 have been included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements for comparative purposes.

 

Depreciation. Property and equipment is being depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives (15 to 50 years for building and improvements and 2 to 7 years for office furniture and equipment) of the assets for financial statement purposes and accelerated methods for income tax purposes.

 

Financial instruments. In accordance with the requirements of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 107, “Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments,” management estimates the carrying value of long-term debt exceeds fair value by approximately $400,000 at December 31, 2000. The carrying value approximated the fair value at December 31, 2001 as a result of the amendments to move the maturity of the long term debt to June 30, 2002. The estimated fair value amount for December 31, 2000 was determined through the use of discounted cash flow analysis using interest rates currently available to the Company for issuance of debt with similar terms and remaining maturities. All other financial instruments approximate fair value because of the short-term nature of these instruments.

 

Revenue recognition. The Company provides custom software design and implementation services primarily under time and material contracts. The Company records professional services revenue at contractually agreed upon rates as the services are provided. The Company grants credit without collateral to customers, a significant portion of whom are engaged in the electronics and telecommunications industries. One customer and its various divisions and operating units accounted for approximately 15%, 13%, 22% and 23% of revenue in fiscal 2001, the six month period ending December 31, 2000 and fiscal 2000 and 1999, respectively. Another customer accounted for 15%, 14%, 17% and 16% of revenue in fiscal 2001, the six month period ending December 31, 2000 and fiscal 2000 and 1999, respectively.

 

Comprehensive income/loss. Other comprehensive income/loss consists of unrealized losses on available-for-sale securities.

 

Net income per share. Basic and diluted earnings per share (EPS) are presented in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, “Earnings per Share.” Basic EPS excludes dilution and is computed by dividing income available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period. The difference between weighted-average common shares and average common and common equivalent shares used in computing diluted EPS is the result of outstanding stock options. Options to purchase 1,819,000, 1,792,000, 908,000 and 358,000 shares of common stock were outstanding during fiscal 2001, the six months ended December 31, 2000 and the fiscal years ended June 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively, but were excluded from the computation of common stock equivalents because they were anti-dilutive.

 

Cash equivalents. Temporary cash investments in money market accounts are considered to be cash equivalents.

 

Shares reserved. At December 31, 2001, there were approximately 29,244,000 shares reserved for issuance under the stock option plans and the rights plan.

 

Estimates. The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions affecting the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

 

Intangible assets. Intangible assets consist of tradenames, in-place work force, customer lists and goodwill, the excess of the purchase price over the appraised fair value of assets acquired in acquisitions. Intangibles are amortized on a

 

 

22



 

straight-line basis over periods of 2 to 18 years. At December 31, 2001, management assessed whether there has been a permanent impairment in the value of intangible assets and the amount of such impairment by comparing anticipated undiscounted future operating income from the applicable business unit with the carrying value of the related intangible assets. The factors considered by management in performing this assessment include current operating results, trends and prospects, as well as the effects of demand, competition and other economic factors. No impairment was indicated at December 31, 2001.

 

In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (SFAS)        Nos. 141, “Business Combinations” and 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.” SFAS No. 141 was effective for all business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001, and has had no impact on the Company’s financial statements. SFAS No. 142 addresses how intangible assets should be accounted for, and is effective for the Company’s fiscal year beginning January 1, 2002. Company expects to adopt SFAS No. 142 during the first quarter of fiscal year 2002. Amortization recorded during the years ended December 31, 2001 and 2000 was $3,212,000 and $2,064,000, respectively. Upon adoption of SFAS No. 142, this amortization is expected to decline significantly. As of December 31, 2001 and 2000, the Company had net goodwill and other intangible assets of approximately $45,656,000 and $49,335,000, respectively. Based on a review of the standard and preliminary impairment assessment, management believes the Company will record a goodwill impairment charge upon adoption, and the amount of such charge is likely to be significant in relation to the Company’s unamortized goodwill balance. Such impairment charge will be recorded as a cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle and therefore will not impact operating income.

 

Accounting Pronouncements. On July 1, 2000, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (SFAS) No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities”, as amended by SFAS No. 138, “Accounting for Certain Derivative Instruments and Certain Hedging Activities”. Management has reviewed the requirements of SFAS No. 133 and has determined that the Company has no free-standing or embedded derivatives. All agreements that contain provisions meeting the definition of a derivative also meet the requirements of, and have been designated as, normal purchases or sales. The derivatives and not to enter into contracts with terms that cannot be designated as normal purchases or sales.

 

During the period ended December 31, 2000, the Company adopted Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101 “Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements”. The impact of the adoption of this bulletin was not material.

D. Deferred Compensation

 

The Company has a Deferred Compensation Plan for key management employees as determined by the Board. Included in liabilities at December 31, 2001 and December 31, 2000 is $8,580,000 and $9,115,000, respectively, representing the Company’s liability under the plan. This liability is being partially funded by the purchase of life insurance and annuity contracts. Included in assets at December 31, 2001 and December 31, 2000 is $5,679,000 and $5,962,000, respectively, representing the carrying value, which approximates market value, of the annuities and insurance cash value. Deferred compensation expense for the year ended December 31, 2001, the six months ended December 31, 2000 and for fiscal years 2000 and 1999 was approximately $299,000, $1,218,000, $292,000 and $363,000, respectively.

 

E. Long-term Debt

 

In January 2000, the Company obtained a $25,000,000 bank line of credit. This line of credit was increased to $30,000,000 in December 2000. Effective December 28, 2001, this agreement was amended to reduce the line of credit to $25,000,000, amend the maturity date to June 30, 2002, and increase the interest rate to a fixed 9%. A commitment fee of .30% is charged on the unused portion of the line.

 

In December 1998, the Company entered into a Note Purchase Agreement whereby it sold $20,000,000 of 7% Senior Notes due December 30, 2006. During fiscal year 2001, this agreement was amended to increase the interest rate to 9%, reduce the make-whole penalty for early

 

 

23



 

extinguishment, defer the $5.3 million principal payment due at December 31, 2001, require a $1.5 million principal payment on March 29, 2002 and move the maturity of the remaining note balance to June 30, 2002.

 

During fiscal year 2001, the credit line and Note Purchase Agreement both contained provisions requiring the maintenance of certain operating and other ratios. On a number of occasions during 2001, the Company failed to meet these requirements and sought and received amendments to the agreements. In anticipation of restructuring all of its debt, effective December 28, 2001, the Company amended both agreements to move all present and future maturities, with the exception of a $1.5 million principal payment of the Notes on March 29, 2002, to June 30, 2002 to give the Company time to effectively restructure its debt. The December 2001 amendments eliminate all previous operating covenants and replace them with required minimum earnings before income taxes, interest, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA), and net cash flow, which is defined as EBITDA less cash paid for taxes, capital expenditures, restructuring accruals, interest expenses, and principal paid on the Notes.

 

Subsequent to December 31, 2001, the Company has obtained a commitment from a major financial institution to extend the Company a $55.0 million line of credit secured by the assets of the Company. The commitment is for a three-year term, carries interest at either the LIBOR rate plus 3.00% or the Prime rate plus .75%. The Company expects to close this refinancing before the June 30, 2002 maturity date of its existing debt. Upon refinancing of its existing debt, the Company expects to record a pre-tax loss on early extinguishment of debt of approximately $1,000,000.

 

F. Stock Option Plans

 

The Company has five stock-based compensation plans, which are described below. The Company has adopted the disclosure provisions of SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation”, and has continued to apply APB Opinion No. 25 and related interpretations in accounting for its plans. Accordingly, no compensation cost has been recognized for its stock option plans. Had compensation cost for the Company’s stock-based compensation plans been determined based on the fair value at the grant dates as calculated in accordance with SFAS No. 123, the Company’s pro forma net (loss) income and (loss) earnings per share for the year ended December 31, 2001, the six months ended December 31, 2000 and the years ended June 30, 2000 and 1999 would have been the amounts indicated below:

G. Shareholders’ Rights Plan

 

On June 15, 1989, the Board of Directors adopted a common stock the Board of Directors declared a dividend of one common share purchase right for each outstanding share of common stock and stock options granted and available for grant. The Board of Directors amended the plan on April 29, 1996 and April 16, 1998. The rights, which expire on April 16, 2008, are exercisable only under certain conditions, and when exercisable the holder will be entitled to purchase from the Company one share of common stock at a price of $160.00, subject to certain adjustments. The rights will become exercisable after a person or group acquires beneficial ownership of 15% or more (or as low as 10% as the Board of Directors may determine) of the common stock or after a person or group announces an offer, the consummation of which would result in such person or group owning 15% or more of the common stock. If the Company is acquired at any time after the rights become exercisable, the rights will be adjusted so as to entitle a holder to purchase a number of shares of common stock of the acquiring company at one-half of their market value. If any person or group acquires beneficial ownership of 15% or more of the Company’s shares, the rights will be adjusted so as to entitle a holder (other than such person or group whose rights become void) to purchase a number of

 

 

25



 

shares of common stock of Analysts International Corporation at one-half of their market value or the Board of Directors may exchange the rights, in whole or in part, at an exchange ratio of one common share per right (subject to adjustment).

 

At any time prior to an acquisition by a person or group of beneficial ownership of 15% or more of the shares, the Board of Directors may redeem the rights at $.01 per right.

SequoiaNET.com reported $57.7 million in revenues with pretax profits of $3.8 million for the year ended December 31, 1999. The purchase of SequoiaNET.com has been accounted for under the purchase method of accounting. Accordingly, the assets acquired, including customer and employee-based intangibles, are recorded at their fair values at the date of acquisition and amortized on a straight-line basis over periods ranging from 3 to 18 years.

On November 6, 1998, the Company acquired specific assets and assumed certain liabilities of Enterprise Solutions, Inc., a Minneapolis, Minnesota-based provider of software services. On February 26, 1999, the Company acquired all of the assets of Real World Training Systems LLC, a Phoenix, Arizona-based provider of software services. The amount paid in connection with these purchases was approximately $4.2 million which was paid with internal funds. These acquisitions were accounted for under the purchase method of accounting. Accordingly, the assets acquired, primarily accounts receivable and property and equipment, were recorded at their estimated fair values as of the date of acquisition. The excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair value of the assets acquired was recorded as goodwill and is being amortized on a straight-line basis over periods of 3 to 12 years.

 

K.Restructuring Charge

 

In December 2000, the Company recorded a restructuring charge of $7.0 million. Of this charge, $2.6 million related to workforce reductions of approximately 120 employees (primarily non-billable staff). In addition, the Company has consolidated its six regions to four and its 45 branch and field locations to 15 district sales offices. While the Company maintains a presence in most of the 30 locations which were not converted to district sales offices, the need for office space in these locations has declined. As a result, the Company has established a reserve of $4.4 million to cover lease termination and abandonment costs (net of sublease income) including an amount for assets to be disposed of in conjunction with this consolidation.

During the second quarter of fiscal 2001, in response to a weakening real estate market, and to better manage its resources, the Company chose not to pay substantial lump sum fees to terminate many of its leases. Instead, the Company has abandoned and is attempting to sublease these spaces. As a result of this change, the Company has reclassified $1.4 million of the Office Closure/Consolidation reserve to a long-term liability.
