8 The accompanying notes are an integral part of these financial statements. RCM TECHNOLOGIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 1. General The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2001. Certain information and footnote disclosures which are normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to SEC rules and regulations. The information reflects all normal and recurring adjustments which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position of the Company, and its results of operations for the interim periods set forth herein. The results for the three months ended March 31, 2002 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. 2. Goodwill The net assets of businesses acquired, which are accounted for as purchases, have been reflected at their fair values at dates of acquisition. The excess of acquisition costs over such net assets (goodwill) is reflected in the consolidated balance sheets as Intangible Assets. Goodwill, net of amortization, at March 31, 2002 and December 31, 2001 was $63,148,000 and $62,619,000, respectively, and was amortized on a straight-line method over twenty years through December 31, 2001. Amortization expense for the three months ended March 31, 2002 and 2001 was $5,200 and $2,043,000, respectively. On July 20, 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) 141, Business Combinations, and SFAS 142, Goodwill and Intangible Assets. SFAS 141 is effective for all business combinations completed after June 30, 2001. SFAS 142 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001; however, certain provisions of this Statement apply to goodwill and other intangible assets acquired between July 1, 2001 and the effective date of SFAS 142. Major provisions of these Statements and their effective dates for the Company are as follows: (1) all business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001 must use the purchase method of accounting. The pooling of interest method of accounting is prohibited except for transactions initiated before July 1, 2001, (2) intangible assets acquired in a business combination must be recorded separately from goodwill if they arise from contractual or other legal rights or are separable from the acquired entity and can be sold, transferred, licensed, rented or exchanged, either individually or as part of a related contract, asset or liability, (3) goodwill, as well as intangible assets with indefinite lives, acquired after June 30, 2001, will not be amortized. Effective January 1, 2002, all previously recognized goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives is no longer subject to amortization, (4) effective January 1, 2002, goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives will be tested for impairment annually and whenever there is an impairment indicator, (5) all acquired goodwill must be assigned to reporting units for purposes of impairment testing and segment reporting. The adoption of SFAS No. 142 had a significant impact on the results of operations of the Company for the three months ended March 31, 2002 by eliminating amortization of goodwill. 3. Note Payable The Company and its subsidiaries entered into an agreement with Citizens Bank (successor to Mellon Bank N.A.), administrative agent for a syndicate of banks, which provides for a $75.0 million Revolving Credit Facility (the "Revolving Credit Facility"). The Revolving Credit Facility was amended on October 10, 2001. Borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility bear interest at one of two alternative rates, as selected by the Company. These alternatives are: LIBOR (London Interbank Offered Rate), plus applicable margin, or the agent bank's prime rate. 9 RCM TECHNOLOGIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 3. Note Payable - (Continued) Borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility are collateralized by all of the assets of the Company and its subsidiaries and a pledge of all of the stock of its subsidiaries. The Revolving Credit Facility also contains various financial and non-financial covenants, such as restrictions on the Company's ability to pay dividends. The Revolving Credit Facility expires August 2002. Management of the Company has commenced negotiations for renewal or replacement of the Revolving Credit Facility. The weighted average interest rates for the three months ended March 31, 2002 and 2001 were 3.72% and 7.27%, respectively. The amounts outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility at March 31, 2002 and December 31, 2001 were $24.9 million and $31.5 million, respectively. 4. Interest (Expense) Income, Net Interest (expense) income, net consisted of the following:
Three Months Ended March 31, ------------------------------ 2002 2001 -------------- ------------- Interest expense ($288,344) ($851,045) Interest income 20,391 109,224 -------------- ------------- ($267,953) ($741,821) ============== =============
5. Segment Information The Company has adopted SFAS 131, "Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information" ("SFAS 131"), which establishes standards for companies to report information about operating segments, geographic areas and major customers. The adoption of SFAS 131 has no effect on the Company's consolidated financial position, consolidated results of operations or liquidity. The Company uses earnings before interest and taxes (operating income) to measure segment profit. Segment operating income includes selling, general and administrative expenses directly attributable to that segment as well as charges for allocating corporate costs to each of the operating segments. The following tables reflect the results of the segments consistent with the Company's management system (in thousands):

EBITDA is not a measure of financial performance under generally accepted accounting principles and should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to net income as an indicator of a company's performance or to cash flows from operating activities as a measure of liquidity.
6. Contingencies The Company has received claims and notices of possible claims from various persons from whom the Company acquired stock or assets in four separate acquisitions that occurred during 1998 and 1999. Such claims and possible claims are not related. These claims and possible claims relate to allegations of wrongful termination and failure of the Company to pay deferred consideration under the relevant acquisition agreements. In the opinion of management, the Company has meritorious defenses to such claims and does not believe that the resolution of such claims should have a material adverse effect on the Company, its financial position, its results of operations or its cash flows. In 1998, two former officers filed suit against the Company alleging wrongful termination of their employment, wrongful failure to make severance payments and wrongful conduct by the Company in connection with the grant and non-vestiture of Stock Options to the plaintiffs. The complaint also alleged that the Company wrongfully limited the number of shares of Company stock that could be sold by the plaintiffs under a Registration Rights Agreement and made various other claims. The plaintiffs' complaint sought damages of approximately $480,000 and further sought additional unliquidated damages. The claims relating to wrongful termination of employment and wrongful conduct by the Company in connection with the grant of Stock Options to the plaintiffs have been resolved in binding arbitration. With respect to the Company's alleged wrongful limiting of the number of shares the plaintiffs could sell and one plaintiff's claim of entitlement to severance pay of $240,000, the Company is awaiting completion of discovery and the fixing of a trial date. The Company is also awaiting the court's ruling on its motion for summary judgment in its favor with respect to the plaintiffs' claims concerning the non-vestiture of their stock options. Substantial damages are being sought on the share-selling limitation and stock option claims; however, the alleged damages are subject to significant reduction by reason of their speculative nature and for having been avoidable losses. Management believes the suit is without merit and will continue to defend the claims vigorously. 11 ITEM 2. MANAGEMENTS'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITON AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS RCM TECHNOLOGIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations Private Securities Litigation Reform Act Safe Harbor Statement Certain statements included herein and in other Company reports and public filings are forward-looking within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.

Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date made. The Company undertakes no obligation to publicly release the results of any revision of these forward-looking statements to reflect these ends or circumstances after the date they are made or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events. 12 RCM TECHNOLOGIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - (Continued) Overview RCM Technologies is a premier provider of business and technology solutions designed to enhance and maximize the performance of its customers through the adaptation and deployment of advanced information technology and engineering services. RCM is an innovative leader in the design, development and delivery of these services to various industries. RCM's offices are located throughout North America, including many major metropolitan centers. The Company provides a diversified and extensive range of service offerings and deliverables. Its portfolio of Information Technology services includes e-Business, Enterprise Management, Enterprise Application Integration and Supply Chain. RCM's Engineering services focus on Engineering Design, Technical Support, and Project Management and Implementation. The Company's Commercial services business unit provides Healthcare contract professionals as well as Clerical and Light Industrial temporary personnel. The Company provides its services to clients in banking and finance, healthcare, insurance, aerospace, pharmaceutical, telecommunications, utility, technology, manufacturing and distribution and government sectors. The Company believes that the breadth of services fosters long-term client relationships, affords cross-selling opportunities and minimizes the Company's dependence on any single technology or industry sector. RCM sells and delivers its services through a network of branch offices located in selected regions throughout North America. The Company has executed a regional strategy to better leverage its consulting services offering. The Company has also implemented a reorganization of its Solutions practices to centralize management oversight and to expand the sales and marketing of those services. Many of the Company's clients are facing challenging economic times. This is creating uncertainty in their ability to pursue technology projects, which had previously been considered a competitive imperative. Many clients are laying off their own permanent staff and reducing the demand for consulting services in attempts to maintain profitability. This has had a direct impact on RCM's revenues. Management believes that most companies have recognized the importance of the Internet and information management technologies to competing in today's business climate. However, the uncertain economic environment has curtailed many companies' motivation for rapid adoption of many technological enhancements. The process of designing, developing and implementing software solutions has become increasingly complex. Management believes that Companies today are focused on return on investment analysis in prioritizing the initiatives they undertake. This has had the effect of delaying or totally negating the spending on many emerging new solutions, which management formally anticipated. Nonetheless, IT managers must integrate and manage computing environments consisting of multiple computing platforms, operating systems, databases and networking protocols, and must implement packaged software applications to support existing business objectives. Companies also need to continually keep pace with new developments, which often render existing equipment and internal skills obsolete. Consequently, business drivers cause IT managers to support increasingly complex systems and applications of significant strategic value, while working under budgetary, personnel and expertise constraints. This has given rise to increasing demand for outsourcing. Clients are increasingly evaluating the potential for outsourcing business critical applications and entire business functions. The Company is positioned to take advantage of this accelerating trend. The Company presently realizes revenues from client engagements that range from the placement of contract and temporary technical consultants to project assignments that entail the delivery of end-to-end solutions. These services are primarily provided to the client at hourly rates that are established for each of the Company's consultants based upon their skill level, experience and the type of work performed. The Company also provides project management and consulting work which are billed either by an agreed upon fixed fee or hourly rates, or a combination of both. The billing rates and profit margins for project management and solutions work are higher than those for professional consulting services. The Company has an ongoing effort to expand its sales of higher margin solution and project management services. 13 RCM TECHNOLOGIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - (Continued) Overview (Continued) The majority of the Company's services are provided under purchase orders. Contracts are utilized on more of the complex assignments where the engagements are for longer terms or where precise documentation on the nature and scope of the assignment is necessary. Contracts, although they normally relate to longer-term and more complex engagements, generally do not obligate the customer to purchase a minimum level of services and are generally terminable by the customer on 60 to 90 days' notice. Revenues are recognized when services are provided. Costs of services consist primarily of salaries and compensation-related expenses for billable consultants, including payroll taxes, employee benefits and insurances. Selling, general and administrative expenses consist primarily of salaries and benefits of personnel responsible for business development, recruiting, operating activities and training, and include corporate overhead expenses. Corporate overhead expenses relate to salaries and benefits of personnel responsible for corporate activities, including the Company's acquisition program and corporate marketing, administrative and reporting responsibilities. The Company records these expenses when incurred. Depreciation relates primarily to the fixed assets of the Company. Amortization in 2001 relates principally to the goodwill resulting from the Company's acquisitions. These acquisitions have been accounted for under the purchase method of accounting for financial reporting purposes and have created goodwill.

Revenues. Revenues decreased 30.2%, or $19.5 million, for the three months ended March 31, 2002 as compared to the same period in the prior year (the "comparable prior year period"). Revenue decline was primarily attributable to continued softness in the Information Technology ("IT") sector. Management attributes this softness to overall economic conditions as well as hesitancy by customers to launch new capital spending programs. 15 RCM TECHNOLOGIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - (Continued) Three Months Ended March 31, 2002 Compared to Three Months Ended March 31, 2001 - (Continued) Cost of Services. Cost of services decreased 30.0%, or $14.0 million, for the three months ended March 31, 2002 as compared to the comparable prior year period. This decrease was primarily due to a decrease in salaries and compensation associated with decreased revenues experienced during the three months ended March 31, 2002. Cost of services as a percentage of revenues increased to 72.3% for the three months ended March 31, 2002 from 72.0% for the comparable prior year period. This increase was primarily attributable to an increase of the Company's revenues being derived from Professional Engineering services which have historically had lower gross profit margins. Selling, General and Administrative. Selling, general and administrative expenses ("SGA") decreased 31.7%, or $3.9 million, for the three months ended March 31, 2002 as compared to the comparable prior year period. This decrease was primarily attributable to a reduction in revenues and a corresponding reduction in the related variable costs and cost cutting initiatives. SGA expenses as a percentage of revenues was 18.8% for the three months ended March 31, 2002 as compared to 19.2% for the comparable prior year period. Depreciation. Depreciation increased 28.5%, or $67,000, for the three months ended March 31, 2002 as compared to the comparable prior year period. This increase was primarily due to the depreciation and amortization of infrastructure and leasehold improvements incurred since March 31, 2001. Other Expense. Other expense consists principally of interest expense, net of interest income. For the three months ended March 31, 2002, actual interest expense of $288,000 was offset by $20,400 of interest income, which was earned from investments in interest bearing deposits. Interest expense, net decreased $474,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2002 as compared to the comparable prior year period. This decrease was primarily due to the increased cash derived from operating activities, which was used to reduce interest bearing debt by $6.6 million during the three months ended March 31, 2002. Income Tax. Income tax expense decreased 30.1%, or $558,000, for the three months ended March 31, 2002 as compared to the comparable prior year period. This decrease was attributable to a lower level of income before taxes for the three months ended March 31, 2002 compared to the comparable prior year period. Amortization of Intangibles. Amortization of intangibles for the three months ended March 31, 2002 and 2001 was net of income tax benefit of $2,000 and $395,000, respectively. Amortization of intangibles decreased 99.8%, or $1.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2002 as compared to the comparable prior year period. On July 20, 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) 142, Goodwill and Intangible Assets. SFAS is effective for all fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2001. In accordance with SFAS 142, for the three months ended March 31, 2002, all previously recognized goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives was no longer subject to amortization. Liquidity and Capital Resources Operating activities provided $8.9 million of cash for the three months ended March 31, 2002 as compared to $15.3 million for the comparable period. The decrease in cash provided by operating activities was primarily attributable to decreases in accounts receivable, income tax refund receivable, deferred tax assets, prepaid expenses and other current assets and an increase in accrued payroll, which was partially offset by decreases in accounts payable and accrued expenses, payroll and withheld taxes and income taxes payable. Investing activities used $670,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2002 as compared to $2.7 million for the comparable period. The reduction in the use of cash for the three months ended March 31, 2002 as compared to the comparable period was primarily attributable to a reduction in acquisition and deferred consideration payments. 16 RCM TECHNOLOGIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - (Continued) Liquidity and Capital Resources - (Continued) Financing activities consisting of debt payments of $6.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2002 as compared to payments of $7.4 million for the comparable period. The Company and its subsidiaries entered into an agreement with Citizens Bank (successor to Mellon Bank N.A.), administrative agent for a syndicate of banks, which provides for a $75.0 million Revolving Credit Facility (the "Revolving Credit Facility"). The Revolving Credit Facility was amended on October 10, 2001. Borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility bear interest at one of two alternative rates, as selected by the Company. These alternatives are: LIBOR (London Interbank Offered Rate), plus applicable margin, or the agent bank's prime rate. Borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility are collateralized by all of the assets of the Company and its subsidiaries and a pledge of all of the stock of its subsidiaries. The Revolving Credit Facility also contains various financial and non-financial covenants, such as restrictions on the Company's ability to pay dividends. The Revolving Credit Facility expires August 2002. Management of the Company has commenced negotiations for renewal or replacement of the Revolving Credit Facility. The weighted average interest rates for the three months ended March 31, 2002 and 2001 were 3.72% and 7.27%, respectively. The amounts outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility at March 31, 2002 and December 31, 2001 were $24.9 million and $31.5 million, respectively. The Company anticipates that its primary uses of capital in future periods will be for working capital purposes. Funding for any future acquisitions will be derived from one or more of the Revolving Credit Facility, funds generated through operations, or future financing transactions. The Company's business strategy is to achieve growth both internally through operations and externally through strategic acquisitions. The Company from time to time engages in discussions with potential acquisition candidates. Should the size of the Company and its financial resources increase, acquisition opportunities requiring significant commitments of capital may arise. In order to pursue such opportunities, the Company may be required to incur debt or issue potentially dilutive securities in the future. No assurance can be given as to the Company's future acquisition and expansion opportunities or how such opportunities will be financed. The Company does not currently have material commitments for capital expenditures and does not anticipate entering into any such commitments during the next twelve months. The Company's current commitments consist primarily of lease obligations for office space. The Company believes that its capital resources are sufficient to meet its present obligations and those to be incurred in the normal course of business for the next 12 months. Although, the Company currently believes that it has sufficient capital resources to meet its anticipated working capital and capital expenditures beyond the next 12 months, unanticipated events and opportunities may make it necessary for the Company to increase its current credit facility or establish new credit facilities or raise capital in public and/or private transactions in order to meet its capital requirements. The Company is involved in several litigation matters. See Note 6 to the Financial Statements. Should a significant number of such matters be resolved against the Company, the Company will need to devote capital it anticipates using for other purposes to such litigation matters, which could result in an increased need for capital.
