THOMAS GROUP, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

        1.     Basis of Presentation—The unaudited consolidated financial statements of Thomas Group, Inc. (the "Company") include all adjustments, which include only normal recurring adjustments, which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to present fairly the results of operations of Thomas Group for the interim periods presented. The unaudited financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto in the Thomas Group Form 10-K for the 2006 fiscal year, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The results of operations for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2007 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations for the entire year ending December 31, 2007. Certain amounts from prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the 2007 presentation.

        2.     Earnings per Share—Basic earnings per share is based on the number of weighted average shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share includes the effect of dilutive securities such as stock options and restricted stock awards expected to vest. The following table reconciles basic earnings per share to diluted earnings per share under the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, "Earnings Per Share."

  Diluted   $ 0.17   $ 0.23   $ 0.33   $ 0.43

        Stock options outstanding that are not included in the diluted earnings per share computation, due to the anti-dilutive effects, were approximately 29,000 and 5,000 for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2007, respectively, and approximately 52,000 and 274,000 for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2006, respectively. Such options are excluded due to exercise prices exceeding the average market value of Thomas Group common stock.

        3.     Stock Based Compensation—We grant incentive and non-qualified stock options and had reserved 3,550,000 shares of common stock for issuance under our 1988, 1992 and 1997 stock option plans, of which 384,712 shares remain authorized and available for grant. Options to purchase shares of Thomas Group common stock have been granted to directors, officers and employees. The majority of the options granted become exercisable at the rate of 20% per year, and generally expire ten years

6



after the date of grant. At June 30, 2007, options to purchase 298,900 shares of our common stock were outstanding and exercisable.

        Since the adoption of our 2005 Omnibus Stock and Incentive Plan ("2005 Plan"), we have granted restricted stock awards to employees representing 720,000 shares of our common stock pursuant to this Plan. The majority of these awards vest annually over a three-year period if we achieve certain established profit levels during such time. One of these awards vests quarterly over a five-year period based on the per share market price of our common stock. The awards automatically terminate and expire on the earlier of (i) the date on which all restricted shares have become vested shares, or (ii) the date the Holder's full-time employment with us is terminated for any reason, and upon the date of such separation all restricted shares which have not previously vested will be permanently forfeited. The 2005 Plan will terminate on December 20, 2015. Shares are not delivered to the Holder until all restrictions on the shares have lapsed under the terms of the individual award. At June 30, 2007, 280,000 shares remain authorized and available for grant under the 2005 Plan.

        Prior to October 1, 2005, we accounted for our stock option plans under the recognition and measurement provisions of APB Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees," and related Interpretations. No stock-based employee compensation cost was initially reflected in net income for the three or nine month periods ending September 30, 2005, as all options granted under those plans had an exercise price equal to the market value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant. However, as part of the restatement resulting from the review of stock option granting procedures, described in more detail in Note 15 to the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the financial statements for the three and nine month periods ending September 30, 2005 now include amounts to reflect stock based employee compensation. Effective October 1, 2005, we adopted the fair value recognition provisions of FASB Statement No. 123(R), "Share-Based Payment," which revises FASB Statement No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation" using the modified prospective application method. Under the modified prospective application method of adoption selected by us under the provisions of FASB Statement No. 148, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation—Transition and Disclosure," compensation cost recognized in the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, is the same as would have been recognized had the recognition provisions of FAS 123 been applied from our original effective date. The fair values of stock options were estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes model and the restricted stock awards were estimated using the binomial lattice method. Both pricing models use a risk-free interest rate based on the U.S. 10-year Treasury Bond yield. Beginning in October 2005, with the adoption of FAS 123(R), the expected lives of stock options and grants are estimated using the term of the awards granted and historical experience. The expected lives of the restricted stock awards are based on the anticipated time to maturity of the individual awards, typically between one and five years. This information is summarized as follows:

 
  June 30,
 
 
  2007
  2006
 
Dividend yield   4 % 3 %
Expected volatility   72 % 73 %
Risk free interest rate   5 % 5 %
Expected life (years) of stock options   5   5  

        On November 10, 2005, the FASB issued Staff Position No. 123(R)-3 ("FSP 123R-3"), "Transition Election Related to Accounting for the Tax Effects of Share-Based Payment Awards." The Company

7



elected not to adopt the alternative transition method provided in FSP 123R-3, which provides an alternative (and simplified) method to calculate the pool of excess income tax benefits upon the adoption of SFAS No. 123(R), and chose the transition method presented in FAS 123(R).

        4.     Significant Clients—We recorded revenue from one client, CACI, Inc.—Federal, a wholly owned subsidiary of CACI International, Inc. ("CACI") (www.caci.com), of $5.8 million, or 41% of revenue, and $11.9 million, or 41% of revenue, for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2007, respectively. Revenue from the same client totaled $7.1 million, or 45% of revenue, and $14.7 million, or 51% of revenue, for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2006, respectively. All revenues derived from CACI represent contracts with the United States Navy in which we utilize CACI as the prime contractor.

        We recorded revenue from a second client, the United States Navy (the "Navy"), of $6.6 million, or 47% of revenue, and $13.5 million, or 47% or revenue, for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2007, respectively. Revenue from the same client totaled $7.3 million, or 47% of revenue, and $12.1 million, or 42% of revenue, for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2006, respectively.

        There were no other clients from whom revenue exceeded 10% of total revenue in the three or six month periods ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

        5.     Concentration of Credit Risk—Financial instruments that potentially subject us to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of trade receivables. We encounter a certain amount of credit risk as a result of a concentration of receivables among a few significant customers. Accounts receivable from CACI totaled $4.1 million and $4.8 million, or 40% and 38% of accounts receivable, at June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively. Accounts receivable from another client, the Navy, totaled $4.7 million and $5.8 million, or 46% of accounts receivable, at June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively. Accounts receivable from all customers dependent on the financial condition of the Navy totaled $9.3 million and $10.9 million, or 91% and 87% of accounts receivable, at June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively.

    Stock Appreciation Rights ("SAR")

        Effective April 8, 2003, we entered into a SARs agreement with James T. Taylor, our current President and CEO, granting him 99,351 SARs at a price of $0.42 per SAR. The SARs were exercisable in full or in part immediately upon grant and entitled Mr. Taylor to a cash payment equal to the fair market value (defined as the last reported sale price of our common stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market on the last business day of the quarter immediately preceding the quarter in which an exercise occurs) of a share of Thomas Group common stock over $0.42 per share. On September 25, 2006, Mr. Taylor notified us of his election to exercise the SARs in their entirety, and the resulting payment to be made was reviewed by our Audit Committee of the Board of Directors. On October 25, 2006, the Audit Committee determined the closing price of $14.02 on June 30, 2006, as reported on the Nasdaq Capital Market, was the fair market value for purposes of this SAR exercise, and approved payment to the SAR holder under the terms of the agreement. On October 25, 2006, $1.35 million was paid to Mr. Taylor under the terms of the agreement, less required withholding taxes.

        The total amount recorded for SARs expense was $0 for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2007. The total amount recorded for the SAR expense was $525,000 and $394,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006.

        There were no additional SARs issued during the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2007 or 2006, respectively, and no SARs were outstanding and exercisable at June 30, 2007 or December 31, 2006.

        10.   Income Taxes

        We follow SFAS No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes," which requires use of the asset and liability method of accounting for deferred income taxes and providing deferred income taxes for all significant temporary differences.

        Income tax expense of $2.2 million for the first half of 2007 reflected an effective rate of 37%, compared to $2.4 million, or an effective rate of 34%, for the first half of 2006. The reduced effective rate in 2006 is the result of a reduction in the deferred tax valuation allowance of $0.3 million during the first quarter of 2006 which created a tax benefit of $0.03 per diluted share in that quarter. Beginning in 2001, we provided a valuation allowance for the full amount of our net deferred tax assets. During the three months ended March 31, 2006, we determined the future sources of taxable income, the reversing of temporary differences and other tax planning strategies will be sufficient to realize certain components of our deferred tax asset. Therefore, approximately $0.3 million of the deferred tax asset valuation allowance was removed during the three months ended March 31, 2006. At December 31, 2006, after further evaluation of operating results of the most recent three-year period and comparison of all positive and negative evidence, we determined that a valuation allowance was only appropriate on approximately $117,000 of the net operating loss carryforward, due to annual limitations under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. Therefore, we removed $1.5 million of the valuation allowance, which decreased income tax expense and increased assets. As of June 30, 2007, our valuation allowance was approximately $117,000.

        We adopted the provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 48 ("FIN 48"), "Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes," on January 1, 2007. As a result of the implementation of FIN 48, we recognized a $40,000 increase in the liability for unrecognized tax benefits, which was recorded as a reduction of retained earnings in our Consolidated Balance Sheets at January 1, 2007. We see no significant changes to the facts and circumstances underlying ours reserves and allowances. We recognize deductible interest accrued related to tax penalties as interest expense in our Consolidated Statements of Operations and we recognize non-deductible accrued interest and penalties as income tax expense in our Consolidated Statements of Operations. During the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2007, we recorded no interest and penalties.

        We are currently under a routine audit by the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") for the calendar year 2005 and are currently subject to the statutes of limitations for federal and state income taxes in the states in which we perform our services.

        11.   Discontinued Operations—In the second quarter of 2005, we committed to an exit plan related to our wholly owned subsidiary in Switzerland. This action was taken in response to declining revenue and cash flows from the operations of this subsidiary during 2004 and 2005. All existing revenue contracts of this subsidiary were completed in the second quarter of 2004, and the subsidiary had no significant assets or operations. Selling efforts during 2004 and the first quarter of 2005 were unsuccessful, and as a result, management decided to liquidate the Swiss subsidiary. In December 2005, we liquidated the remaining investment in our Swiss subsidiaries and will have no significant continuing involvement in Switzerland. We eliminated the operations and cash flows of the Swiss subsidiaries from ongoing operations, and have presented the results of the Swiss subsidiaries as discontinued operations for all periods. There were no payments made during the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2007 related to exit activities and, as of June 30, 2007, there were no accrued costs related to the exit activities of this subsidiary. The effect of the discontinued Swiss operations was $0, net of tax, or $0.00 per diluted share, for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2007. For the three and six

12



months ended June 30, 2006, approximately $53,000 and $93,000, respectively, in cash was paid related to exit activities and at June 30, 2006 there was approximately $72,000 in accrued compensation, legal, and other administrative costs was classified as a current liability based on the expected completion date of the liquidation. The effect of the discontinued Swiss operations was $3,000, net of tax, or $0.00 per diluted share, for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2006.

        The presentation of all prior periods is revised to reflect the Swiss operations as discontinued operations.

        12.   Comprehensive Income or Loss—Comprehensive income or loss includes all changes in equity (foreign currency translation), except those resulting from investments by owners and distributions to owners. For the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, net income is the only component of comprehensive income.

        13.   Sublease activity—On August 1, 2006, we were notified that the subtenant of our Reston, Virginia office space had filed bankruptcy under Chapter 7 of the U.S. Bankruptcy code on July 31, 2006. On September 28, 2006, we signed an occupancy agreement with the bankruptcy trustee. The terms provided rent payments by the bankruptcy trustee at approximately the same monthly rate as the subtenant previously paid through December 31, 2006, and as of January 1, 2007, the subtenant no longer occupied our office space. The remaining rent reserve balance of approximately $92,000 at June 30, 2007, is being amortized ratably against rent expense until the expiration of the lease on October 31, 2007.

        14.   Financing Agreement—On December 15, 2006, we entered into a credit agreement with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. This credit agreement forms the basis of a $5.5 million revolving line of credit maturing March 31, 2009. Interest on the outstanding amount under the credit facility is payable either quarterly or at the end of the applicable LIBOR interest period elected by us, at a rate equal to, at our option, either (i) the bank's prime rate then currently in effect minus 1.5% or (ii) the LIBOR rate plus 1.25%. Our obligations under the credit facility are secured by a security interest in our accounts and related collateral as well as a security interest in our equity ownership of all subsidiaries. The credit agreement limits our ability to, among other things, make certain distributions and dividends, incur liens, dispose of our assets and consummate any merger, certain acquisitions and other business combination transactions. We are also required to meet certain financial covenants under the credit agreement, including maintaining a minimum tangible net worth as defined in the credit agreement.

        Prior to August 31, 2006, and during 2005 and 2004, we utilized a $5.5 million revolving line of credit with Bank of America, N.A. For the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, we had no borrowings or repayments on our current or former credit facility and we had no outstanding balance on our current credit facility as of June 30, 2007 or December 31, 2006. At June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, we were in compliance with all of our debt covenants.

        15.   Review of Stock Option Grant Practices—As previously announced on February 2, 2007, our Board of Directors, with concurrence and oversight by our Audit Committee, which is comprised solely of independent directors, initiated a review of our historical stock option practices and related accounting during the period 1988 to 2006. This voluntary review was initiated in connection with our assessment of our historical capitalization documentation and not in response to any specific concerns from within Thomas Group about option practices or any inquiry from the Securities and Exchange Commission or any other regulatory agency. The review was conducted with the assistance of our

13



outside legal counsel and specially-retained forensic accountants. Based on the preliminary findings of this review, we restated our financial statements and related footnote disclosures for fiscal years ending December 31, 2002 through 2005 and the first three quarters of the 2006 fiscal year.

        The investigation has been completed and our Board of Directors received a report on the results of that investigation on March 30, 2007 from our outside counsel and specially-retained forensic accountants. At that time, such counsel and accountants also submitted recommendations for proposed remedial measures to the Board, which are outlined below. Those proposals did not include any remedial measures pertaining to our directors or senior management team. Except as noted below, those recommendations were reviewed by the Board for possible implementation. After consideration of the report, the Board affirmed its confidence in our senior management team and their continued ability to sign certifications with respect to our periodic SEC reports and our financial statements. We self reported the internal investigation and the restatement to the Securities and Exchange Commission and cooperated with informational or other requests from the SEC. On June 8, 2007, the SEC formally notified us that its investigation related to our historical stock option granting practices had been terminated and that no enforcement action had been recommended.

        During the course of the internal investigation, the investigation team reviewed available electronic and hard copy documentation and conducted interviews of selected current and former officers, directors and employees.

        The following background pertaining to our historical stock option grant practices was confirmed through the investigation.

        From our initial public offering in August 1993 to January 2003, our historical stock option granting process has generally reflected a lack of either Board or Compensation Committee authorization for specific option grants, although a few instances exist where our Board or Compensation Committee took appropriate granting action under Delaware law and our option plans. Instead, from August 1993 to January 2003, we ran a CEO-centric option granting process with additional participation by the President from time to time and with minimal oversight by either our Board or Compensation Committee—particularly with respect to grants to rank and file employees. Our current and former Board members who were interviewed generally recalled periodic discussions concerning option grants to senior executives and directors, but, except for the instances noted above, there is a general lack of confirmatory written evidence in our records that would evidence these discussions. We last issued stock options in January 2003.

        Our CEOs and/or Presidents through January 2003 thought they had the apparent authority to grant options. Although the investigation discovered 1992 Board resolutions purporting to delegate authority to the CEO and President to grant stock options, it does not appear from the investigation that the CEOs and/or Presidents acted pursuant to such delegation but instead acted based on their perceived apparent authority resulting from their positions as senior officers of Thomas Group.

        During the review period, we granted options under the following circumstances: (i) grants to new employees at or near start dates;(ii) grants as part of an annual review process; (iii) grants to employees on their fifth and tenth year anniversaries; (iv) grants that were awarded to a key group of officers and employees; (v) grants made in connection with business developed through the Company's CEO center; (vi) periodic grants to directors for Board service; and (vii) grants made periodically to employees for other reasons. Documents identified pursuant to which CEOs prior to 2003 made option

14



grants include notices of grant awards, stock option agreements, memos, notes and emails directing employees to document the granting of stock options.

        Based on our historical process deficiencies noted above, we concluded that we were required to adjust the accounting measurement dates for certain of our stock option grants as more fully discussed below. In addition to the process deficiencies noted above that allowed grants to be made without proper stock option plan or Delaware statutory approval, our investigation also identified some evidence that could be construed as manipulative for certain option grants and option exercises, including the following:(i) evidence of possible rearward selection of certain grant dates and exercise prices, including due to administrative delays in initiation and/or finalization of stock option terms; (ii) the use of an incorrect calculation to determine exercise prices under two of our stock option plans; (iii) evidence of the extension of expiration dates of certain stock option grants not properly accounted for; (iv) evidence that a limited number of rank and file employees were allowed to exercise options after expiration dates and (v) evidence of the possible rearward selection of an exercise date in one case. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the investigation team concluded that the totality of the information obtained and reviewed does not indicate that (i) stock option grants were intentionally back-dated on a widespread basis in order to obtain more favorable pricing for directors, officers or employees or (ii) option exercises were intentionally manipulated on a widespread basis. The investigation team also concluded that our internal control over financial reporting and our legal processes in connection with stock option grants and exercises have been ineffective.

        In connection with the investigation, the investigation team made the following recommendations with respect to proposed remedial measures: (i) establish modified accounting measurement dates for option grants not properly authorized by either Board or Compensation Committee resolutions, which we did in connection with the restatement; (ii) in order to correct the lack of complete legal documentation, adopt resolutions ratifying all prior option grants that may not have been previously authorized by specific Board or Compensation Committee resolutions, which resolutions were adopted by the Board on March 30, 2007; (iii) adopt and document an effective system of internal control over financial reporting that govern our stock option granting and/or other equity award processes; and (iv) adopt written equity granting practices and procedures that provide for option grants or other equity awards only by our Compensation Committee, consisting of outside independent directors, and that equity awards be made only on a quarterly basis during a meeting of the Compensation Committee.

        Based upon the results of the investigation, we established an accounting measurement date for each grant in accordance with the earliest evidence that the recipient of the grant as well as the number of shares subject to such award were set with finality as described in more detail below. We also concluded that, on balance, our process deficiencies and lack of historical documentation of certain stock option grants did not preclude us from concluding, from an accounting perspective, that such options had been properly granted or that such stock options should be accounted for on a date other than the purported date of grant reflected in our stock option administration software. For stock option grants that were not otherwise evidenced by specific Board or Compensation Committee action, we have determined that it is appropriate to rely upon ancillary documentation that was found in our files and records, when such documentation confirms stock options had been granted. This conclusion is supported by Hein & Associates, our independent public accounting firm. This conclusion is also supported by the SEC's published September 2006 guidance, which generally indicates that the accounting for stock options may depend on the facts and circumstances surrounding a company's stock option grant practices when definitive documentation is not available.

15



        In conducting the review of our stock option practices, the investigation team reviewed all available documentation, including but not limited to corporate minute books, Board of Directors' packages, employment offer letters, employment agreements, notices of stock option grants, stock option agreements and personnel files. We focused on the identified documentation and other evidence that support a determination that a stock option grant was awarded with finality, even if such documentation was not sufficient to otherwise support a conclusion that all necessary legal steps were taken to authorize such an award. In particular, we focused on correspondence or agreements with employees that indicate the employees knew stock option awards were outstanding. We also relied upon internal documents that indicate we recognized the awards were outstanding. Where ancillary documentation existed for a stock option grant and was dated, we determined to use the date of earliest supporting documentation in establishing a revised measurement date. We used the following documents in establishing revised measurement dates:

    Offer letters

    Notices of grant awards

    Section 16 filings

    Stock option grant lists

    Company worksheets prepared to support earnings per share alculations

    Other correspondence to employees recognizing existence of outstanding stock option grants

    Director and officer questionnaires listing outstanding stock option grants

        In connection with the internal investigation, our Board of Directors, with the approval of our Audit Committee, determined that the cumulative non-cash stock-based compensation expense adjustment was material and that our consolidated financial statements for each of the first three quarters of fiscal year ended December 31, 2006, each of the quarters in the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005 and the fiscal years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004 as well as the selected consolidated financial data for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002 should be restated to record additional stock-based compensation expense resulting from stock options granted during 1993 to 2003 that were incorrectly accounted for under GAAP, and related income tax effects.

        We also analyzed the impact of our investigation related to Internal Revenue Code Section 162(m), which provides for a $1 million tax deduction cap on compensation awarded to certain top executives that is not considered performance-based. After completing our analysis, we determined that Section 162(m) may apply to option exercises in 2006 for 180,649 shares held by James T. Taylor, our CEO, which, when combined with other applicable employee remuneration, will be limited to a tax deduction of $1 million in 2006. We estimate the non-deductible amount for 2006 to be approximately $381,000, which will result in increased taxes of approximately $133,000.

        We have determined that the cumulative, pre-tax, non-cash stock-based compensation expense resulting from revised measurement dates was approximately $2.1 million during the period from our initial public offering in August 1993 through December 31, 2006. The adjustments relate to options covering approximately 1.9 million shares. We recorded additional stock-based compensation expense of $5,532, $48,567 and $53,722 for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively, and $2.0 million for fiscal years ending prior to fiscal 2002. Previously reported total revenues were not impacted by our restatement. The table below reflects the cumulative effect on our stockholders' equity

        In connection with the restatement of our consolidated financial statements discussed above, we assessed the impact of the findings of our internal investigation into our historical stock option grant practices and other tax matters on our reported income tax benefits and deductions, including income tax deductions previously taken for cash and stock-based executive compensation under the provisions of Section 162(m). In connection with that assessment, we determined that no adjustments were required to our (i) income tax expense previously reported in our Consolidated Statements of Income; (ii) tax benefits on stock option exercises previously reported in our Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows and Consolidated Statement of Changes in Stockholders' Equity or (iii) deferred tax assets previously reported in our Consolidated Balance Sheets.

        We have recorded $101,230 of income tax benefit in our Consolidated Statements of Income for the year ended December 31, 2006 and in our Consolidated Balance Sheets at December 31, 2006 to recognize deferred income tax assets on stock-based compensation relating to unexercised stock options. This amount is not included in the tables above because it is a fourth quarter 2006 entry, and not part of the restatement.

        Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code ("Section 409A") provides that option holders with options granted with a below-market exercise price, to the extent the options were not vested as of December 31, 2004, may be subject to adverse Federal income tax consequences. Holders of these options will likely be required to recognize taxable income at the date of vesting for those options vesting after December 31, 2004, rather than upon exercise, on the difference between the amount of the fair market value of our common stock on the date of vesting and the exercise price, plus an additional 20 percent penalty tax and interest on any income tax to be paid. To the extent this process

18



is available to affected employees, we have decided to follow the IRS Settlement Offer issued in February 2007 to pay penalty and interest to the IRS on behalf of the employees and potentially gross-up employees for tax costs.The IRS Settlement Offer is available for exercises of discounted stock rights by all employees and former employees, other than those who were Section 16 persons on the grant date of the discounted stock rights and those who are currently Section 16 persons, who exercised a discounted stock right in 2006.

        Certain grants of stock options made during the period under investigation were priced below fair market value, rather than at fair market value. Consequently, certain grants intended to be classified as ISOs, requiring pricing at no less than fair market value on the date of grant, should have been classified as nonqualified stock options, or NQs. Given the significant differences in the tax treatment between ISOs and NQs, we underreported or underwithheld certain payroll taxes for those options which were exercised during the period through 2006. We have recorded certain tax liabilities related to these issues in the period of exercise with related penalties and interest charged in subsequent periods, except for periods closed by the statute of limitations where no liability is recorded. We intend to pursue a negotiated settlement with the IRS as soon as practicable; however, there can be no assurance that we will settle these issues for amounts consistent with the estimated liabilities we have recorded. In the aggregate, the financial impact of these tax errors was approximately $0.1 million and is included in the adjustment.

Overview

        We are an operations and process improvement services firm headquartered in Irving, Texas that provides process improvement solutions that enhance business efficiency, competitiveness and financial performance. We develop and employ methodologies to transform the processes, procedures and people within our clients' organizations to enable more efficient and seamless operations. Our methodologies address business processes throughout the "Extended Enterprise." Extended Enterprise is a term we use to describe the full spectrum of a client's value chain from its suppliers, through its internal operations, and to its customers.

        As specialists in operations and process improvement, we create and implement process improvement solutions that remove barriers, increase productivity, improve cultures and enable our clients to improve and sustain operational performance as measured by the following:

    total cycle time;

    time to market;

    delivering lead times;

    operational and administrative productivity;

    cost savings;

    product yields;

    inventory turns; and

    return on assets.

        To deliver these solutions, we utilize our staff of professionals, whom we refer to as "Resultants™," who average over 25 years of business experience. To manage our client engagements, our Resultants

20


typically leverage our Process Value Management, or PVM, approach, which incorporates our proprietary Total Cycle Time®, or TCT®, methodology along with other industry accepted process improvement methodologies. PVM is used to manage client engagements, identify process inefficiencies and implement change within our clients in order to achieve a total transformation to what we refer to as the "Process Managed Enterprise." A Process Managed Enterprise is one in which management focus and systems are centered on customers and managed around processes.

        We have delivered operations and process improvement solutions to approximately 375 clients since our inception in 1978. Historically, most of our clients have been large, diversified commercial or government enterprises in North America, Europe, and Asia. During the last three years, however, our engagements have involved primarily various government entities. We have also served international clients in previous years from our former offices in Switzerland, Sweden, Germany, Singapore, China and Hong Kong. Currently, we are focused on delivering our solutions in North America. In some instances, we provide solutions to the same organization under separate contract agreements. While we believe our methodologies are applicable to any industry, we have developed a significant amount of subject-matter expertise relevant to specific industries, including automotive, aviation, distribution, government, healthcare, manufacturing, semiconductor, textiles and transportation.

        We generally derive our revenue from fees for the implementation of business operations improvement programs delivered by our Resultants. Total revenue consists of fees and other billings derived from fixed fees, task-based fees, incentive fees and reimbursed travel expenses. Our fee type and structure for each client engagement is dependant on a number of variables, including the size of the client, the complexity and geographic dispersion of its business, the level of the opportunity for us to improve the client's processes and other factors.

        Fixed fee revenue is recognized on the proportional performance model (which approximates the percentage completion method), based on direct labor hours expended. In order to calculate the completion ratio on a given project, time and effort to date are divided by the total estimated time and effort for the entire project. This ratio is then multiplied by the total fixed fee to be earned on the project, resulting in the amount of revenue earned to date. Revenues attributable to fixed fees were 7% and 8% of consolidated revenue for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2007, respectively. Revenues attributable to fixed fees were 6% of consolidated revenue for both the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2006.

        Task-based fees are recognized as revenue when the task is completed or the deliverable is received by the client. Typically, task-based revenue recognition involves the delivery of a report, minutes or some other evidence of completion. Revenues attributable to task-based fees were 92% and 91% of consolidated revenue for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2007, respectively. Revenues attributable to task-based fees were 93% of consolidated revenue for both the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2006.

        Incentive fees are tied to improvements in a variety of client performance measures typically involving cycle time, asset utilization and productivity. Incentive fee revenue is recognized in the period in which the related client improvements are achieved. Our typical incentive fee agreements predefine performance improvement standards that form the basis of our incentive fees earned. Incentive fees are affected by a client's business performance and prevailing economic conditions, both of which are out of our control, and may cause variability in revenue and profit margins earned on such engagements. We do not recognize revenue until the client has agreed that performance improvements have in fact been achieved. Revenues attributable to incentive fees were 0% of consolidated revenue for each of the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2007 and 2006. As of August 3, 2007, we had no contractual agreements for incentive fees.

        Reimbursement revenue represents the client's repayment of our mutually agreed upon travel expenses as incurred. All billable travel expenses are submitted to and approved by the client.

21



Revenues attributable to reimbursement were 1% of consolidated revenue for each of the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2007 and 2006.

        Cost of sales represents the direct costs involved in providing services and solutions to our clients. The components include, but are not limited to, direct labor and benefit costs, support costs such as telecommunications and computer costs, travel costs and other costs incurred in providing services and solutions to our clients.

        Selling, general and administrative expenses include the costs of all labor and other goods and services necessary for our selling and marketing efforts, human resource support, accounting and finance services, legal and other professional services, facilities and equipment, information technology and telecommunications support and services, and other corporate functions. Selling, general and administrative expenses also include depreciation and amortization on the fixed assets used to support these functions.

        In addition, during the last three years, we have used cash generated from operating activities to eliminate debt incurred in 2001 and 2002. We repurchased all of our outstanding warrants in September 2005, and, in December 2005, we instituted our first annual dividend policy, which was subsequently increased to $0.30 per share annually in June 2006 and $0.40 per share annually in December 2006.

        Sublease losses and income arise from the sublease contracts we maintained with former subtenants in our Reston, VA and Troy, MI offices. Losses are generally the result of a subtenant defaulting on a lease or at the termination of a lease in which we anticipate that the future subtenant income will not be sufficient to recoup our costs associated with the subleased office space. Sublease income is recognized generally upon the termination of a sublease in which we, as a result of the termination, are able to avoid future anticipated costs previously recognized as sublease losses.

        In addition to our United States operations, we have minimal activities in the Asia/Pacific region and Europe. Some of our revenue related transactions have been denominated in the local currency where the client is located. The majority of our operating expenses for our subsidiaries have been denominated in the local currency of the subsidiary. Therefore, we are exposed to currency fluctuation risks. See Item 3, "Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risk."

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

        General—The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the accompanying financial statements and related notes. Management bases its estimates and assumptions on historical experience, observance of industry trends and various other sources of information and factors. Actual results could differ from these estimates. Critical accounting policies are defined as those that are reflective of significant judgments and uncertainties, and potentially could result in materially different results under different assumptions and conditions.

        Revenue Recognition—Revenue is recognized when realizable and earned generally as services and solutions are provided over the life of a contract. Fixed fee revenue is recognized using the proportional performance model (which approximates the percentage completion method), based on direct labor hours expended. Task-based, or deliverable based, fees are recognized when the task or deliverable is completed and delivered to the client. Incentive fee revenue is recognized in the period in which the related improvements are achieved. Our incentive fee agreements with our clients define in advance the performance improvement standards that will form the basis of our incentive fees earned. We do not recognize revenue until the client has agreed that performance improvements have in fact been achieved.

22



        Unbilled Receivables—Although fixed fee revenue recognition generally coincides with billings, as an accommodation to our clients, we may structure fee billings to increase in the latter stages of a program. In such instances, amounts collectible for services and solutions provided but not yet billed are represented in unbilled receivables.

        Deferred Taxes—Income taxes are calculated using the asset and liability method required by FASB Statement No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes." Deferred income taxes are recognized for the tax consequences resulting from timing differences by applying enacted statutory tax rates applicable to future years. These timing differences are associated with differences between the financial and the tax basis of existing assets and liabilities. Under FAS No. 109, a statutory change in tax rates will be recognized immediately in deferred taxes and income. Net deferred taxes are recorded both as a current deferred income tax asset and as other long-term liabilities based upon the classification of the related timing difference. A valuation allowance is recognized if, based on the weight of available evidence, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of a deferred tax asset will not be realized. All available evidence, both positive and negative, is considered when determining the need for a valuation allowance. Judgment is used in considering the relative impact of negative and positive evidence. The weight given to the potential effect of negative and positive evidence is commensurate with the extent to which it can be objectively verified. In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes, evidence, such as operating results during the most recent three-year period, is given more weight than our expectations of future profitability, which are inherently uncertain.

        In addition to timing differences arising from operating assets and liabilities, we also record deferred tax assets for the tax benefits of net operating losses and foreign tax credits. For United States federal tax purposes, at December 31, 2002, we had net operating loss ("NOL") carryovers of approximately $4.2 million. Under the Section 382 limitation, discussed below, $0.7 million was used to offset United States taxable income in 2003. In 2004, $0.2 million expired under Section 382, but an $8.1 million in United States net operating loss was generated, resulting in a balance of $11.4 million at December 31, 2004. In 2005, we used $8.1 million of the net operating loss to offset United States taxable income and used $0.2 million of the net operating loss carryforward limited under Section 382, resulting in a net operating loss carryforward balance of $3.1 million at December 31, 2005. In 2006, we used $0.2 million of the net operating loss carryforward balance of $2.9 million at December 31, 2006. We had unused foreign tax credit carryovers of $0.8 million, on December 31, 2002. These credits were converted to deductions and amended returns were filed for the appropriate years, leaving approximately $3,000 in foreign tax credits which were utilized in 2005. In Asia, we used our remaining $0.7 million of net operating loss carryovers to offset taxable income in 2004.

        In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, we considered whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Due to the uncertainty of our ability to utilize our net deferred tax assets, primarily due to the Section 382 limitation discussed above, we provided a valuation allowance of $1.4 million against net deferred tax assets of $1.4 million, leaving a net deferred tax asset of approximately $33,000 at September 30, 2006. At December 31, 2006, after further evaluation of operating results of the most recent three-year period and comparison of all positive and negative evidence, we determined that a valuation allowance was only appropriate on approximately $117,000 of the NOL carryforward, due to annual limitations under Section 382. Therefore, we removed $1.5 million of the valuation allowance, which decreased income tax expense and increased assets. As of June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, our valuation allowance was approximately $117,000.

        If future analyses of the positive and negative evidence indicates that it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the net deferred tax asset will not be realized, a partial or full valuation allowance may be required, which could have a negative impact on net income in the period that it becomes more likely than not that deferred tax assets will not be realized.

23



        We adopted the provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 48 ("FIN 48"), "Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes," on January 1, 2007. As a result of the implementation of FIN 48, we recognized a $40,000 increase in the liability for unrecognized tax benefits, which was recorded as a reduction of retained earnings in our Consolidated Balance Sheets at January 1, 2007. We see no significant changes to the facts and circumstances underlying our reserves and allowances. We recognize deductible interest accrued related to tax penalties as interest expense in our Consolidated Statements of Operations and we recognize non-deductible accrued interest and penalties as income tax expense in our Consolidated Statements of Operations. During the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2007, we recorded no interest and penalties.

        We are currently under routine audit by the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") for the calendar year 2005 and are currently subject to the statutes of limitations for federal and state income taxes in the states in which we perform our services.

        Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss—Translation of the financial statements of our operations in Europe and Asia resulted in accumulated translation adjustments of approximately $682,000 at December 31, 2004 that was required to be carried on the balance sheet as a separate component of stockholders' equity. During 2005, we liquidated our subsidiaries in Switzerland resulting in a reclassification of a $713,000 accumulated other comprehensive loss to the income statement. The remaining gain of $31,000 relates to our subsidiary in Hong Kong which is currently under liquidation. Upon substantially complete liquidation of our investment in our Hong Kong subsidiary, $31,000 will be reclassified as a non-cash gain included in operations for the year then ended.

Three Month Period Ended June 30, 2007 Compared to the Three Month Period Ended June 30, 2006

        Revenue—In the second quarter of 2007, revenue decreased $1.6 million, or 10%, to $14.0 million from $15.6 million in the second quarter of 2006. Fixed fee revenue was $1.0 million, or 7% of

24



revenue, in the second quarter of 2007, compared to $1.0 million, or 6% of revenue, in the second quarter of 2006. Task based revenue was $12.8 million, or 92% of revenue, in the second quarter of 2007, compared to $14.4 million, or 93% of revenue, in the second quarter of 2006. During the second quarter of 2007 and 2006, and as of August 3, 2007, we had no active incentive based contracts.

        Reimbursements were $0.2 million, or 1% of revenue, in the second quarters of 2007 and 2006.

        North America region revenue decreased $1.6 million, or 10%, to $14.0 million in the second quarter of 2007 compared to $15.6 million in the second quarter of 2006. Revenue from commercial clients remained constant at $1.2 million in the second quarters of 2007 and 2006. Revenue from United States government contracts decreased $1.6 million, or 11%, to $12.8 million in the second quarter of 2007 compared to $14.4 million in the second quarter of 2006.

        During the second quarter of 2007, we recorded $32,000 in revenue from a client located in Europe. Although we discontinued our Europe operations in 2006, we maintain strategic relationships in Europe through whom we may periodically obtain business. Europe revenue was $0 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006.

        Our Asia/Pacific region revenue decreased to $0 in the second quarter of 2007 from $26,000 in the second quarter of 2006. The decrease is due to non-recurring services provided during the second quarter of 2006. We currently retain limited sales and marketing operations in Asia.

        Gross ProfitGross profit margins were 51% of revenue, or $7.1 million, in the second quarter of 2007, compared to 54%, or $8.4 million, in the second quarter of 2006. Costs of sales consists of direct labor, travel, and other direct costs incurred by our Resultants to provide services to our clients and to complete client related projects, including training. The decrease in our gross profit margin is primarily attributable to lower utilization of our Resultants during 2007.

        Selling, General and Administrative ExpensesSelling, general and administrative expenses decreased $0.1 million to $4.3 million in the second quarter of 2007, or 31% of revenue, from $4.4 million, or 28% of revenue, in the second quarter of 2006. The dollar decrease is primarily due to savings in executive compensation compared to the prior year, offset by the increased usage of outside professional services.

        Sublease LossesDuring June 2006, we terminated a portion of our Detroit, Michigan office lease and its related sublease agreement resulting in a gain of $16,000. As of June 30, 2007, the remaining rent reserve balance of approximately $92,000 relates to our Reston, Virginia office, and is being amortized ratably against rent expense until the expiration of the lease on October 31, 2007.

Europe revenue was $0 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006.

        Our Asia/Pacific region revenue decreased to $0 in the first half of 2007 from $30,000 in the first half of 2006. The decrease is due to non-recurring services provided during the first half of 2006. We currently retain limited sales and marketing operations in Asia.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

        Cash and cash equivalents increased by $1.6 million during the first half of 2007 compared to a $2.5 million increase during the first half of 2006. The major components of these changes are discussed below:

        Cash Flows from Operating ActivitiesNet cash provided by operating activities was $4.9 million in the first half of 2007, compared to $3.2 million in the first half of 2006. The increase in net cash provided is primarily due to the collection of past due accounts receivable balances in the first quarter of 2007.

        Cash Flows from Investing Activities—Net cash used in investing activities of $818,000 for the first half of 2007 consisted primarily of improvements to the training facility located inside our Irving, TX office, compared to $256,000 for the first half of 2006 for upgrades to computer hardware and software.

        Cash Flows from Financing ActivitiesNet cash used in financing activities for the first half of 2007 was $2.5 million, primarily consisting of $0.3 million for the net tax effect of stock issuances and $2.2 million for the payment of dividends. Cash used for financing activities for the first half of 2006 was $0.5 million, consisting of $1.1 million in dividends paid offset by $0.6 million in cash and tax benefit received from option holders upon the exercise of outstanding stock options.

        In January and October of 1999, we announced two stock repurchase plans for up to 250,000 and 500,000 shares, respectively, to be purchased on the open market. In August 2000, we announced an additional stock repurchase plan of up to 750,000 shares to be purchased on the open market. During 1999, we purchased 289,150 shares at an average price of $8.41 per share. During 2000, we purchased 596,300 shares at an average price of $7.96 per share. During 2001, we purchased 109,100 shares at an average price of $5.11 per share. We have not repurchased stock since October 23, 2001 and 505,450 shares remain available to be repurchased under the plans.

$5.5 million Credit Facility with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A.

        On December 15, 2006, we entered into a credit agreement with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. The senior secured revolving credit facility will be used for ongoing working capital needs and general corporate purposes. At June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, no amounts were outstanding under this credit facility. This credit facility will mature on March 31, 2009, at which time it will terminate and all outstanding amounts shall be due and payable. The obligations under the senior secured revolving credit facility are secured by first priority liens on all of our accounts and proceeds thereof.

        We may prepay all loans under the senior secured revolving credit facility at any time without premium or penalty (other than customary LIBOR breakage costs and payment of accrued interest), subject to certain notice requirements. Amounts borrowed and repaid under the senior secured revolving credit facility may be reborrowed. Indebtedness under the senior secured revolving credit facility bears interest at our option at either the bank's reference rate minus 1.50% or LIBOR plus 1.25%. We incur quarterly commitment fees based on the unused amount of the credit facility.

        The credit agreement for the senior secured revolving credit facility contains various covenants that, among other restrictions, limit our ability to:

    incur additional indebtedness;

    create liens;

    sell our assets or consolidate or merge with or into other companies;

    make loans, extend guarantees or enter into other certain investments;

    engage in transactions with affiliates; and

    make capital expenditures.

        The credit agreement for the senior secured revolving credit facility also contains a covenant requiring us to maintain minimum levels of tangible net worth (as defined in the credit agreement).

        Each of the following will be an event of default under the senior secured revolving credit facility:

    failure to pay any principal, interest, fees, expenses or other amounts when due;

    failure to observe any agreement, obligation, or covenant in the credit agreement, subject to cure periods for certain failures;

    certain judgments against us or any of our subsidiaries, in excess of certain allowances;

    certain bankruptcy or insolvency events involving us or our subsidiaries;

    a change in control not consented to by the bank; and

    the failure of any representation or warranty to be true and correct when made.

        We believe that the senior revolving credit facility will provide adequate liquidity based on our current growth strategies and cost control measures. We also believe that cash flows provided by operating activities will be sufficient to service debt payments as they become due.

        In March 2007, we signed an amendment to the credit facility that increases the capital expenditures we can incurr in compliance with the terms of the credit agreement. The capital expenditure limit was increased to $1.0 million for the year ending December 31, 2007 from the original limit of $0.5 million annually. Effective January 1, 2008, the annual limit reverts to $0.5 million.

        As of June 30, 2007, we had no material commitments for capital expenditures or off-balance sheet arrangements.

27



        Our Liquidity PlanAs a result of net cash provided by operations, we reduced our senior debt $4.5 million in 2003, $2.4 million in 2004, and $1.8 million in 2005, and we had no senior or subordinated debt since June 9, 2005. Our ability to reduce debt and generate cash from operations is due primarily to revenue increases, cost saving measures such as downsizing and subleasing facilities, and more aggressive collection policies. Our ability to maintain gross margins, control costs and generate cash flow from operations in the future will determine our ability to pay dividends and make payments on debts as they become due and to remain in future compliance with debt covenants. We regularly evaluate our business to enhance our liquidity position.

        Our performance will also be affected by prevailing economic conditions. Many of these factors are beyond our control. Recent conflicts throughout the world involving the United States military could potentially have an adverse affect on our liquidity due to the high concentration of United States government contracts, which could result in delays in program operations. If future cash flows and capital resources are insufficient to meet our obligations and commitments, we may be forced to reduce or delay activities and capital expenditures, obtain additional financing or restructure our credit facility.

        We believe that our bank debt facility described above provides adequate liquidity based on our current growth strategies and cost control measures. We also believe that cash flows provided by operating activities will be sufficient to service debt payments as they become due. In the event that revenue growth exceeds anticipated levels, we may be required to seek additional financing.

        Our current dividend policy provides for the payment of an aggregate annual cash dividend of $0.40 on each outstanding share of common stock, payable quarterly at a rate of $0.10 per share. The determination of future cash dividends, if any, will be at the discretion of our Board of Directors after taking into account various factors, including our financial condition, results of operations, cash flow, the level of our capital expenditures, restrictive covenants in our credit facility, future business prospects and any other matters that our Board of Directors deems relevant. There can be no assurance that we will continue to pay dividends at this rate or at all in the future.

        As discussed in "Note 15 to the financial statements," as a result of our internal investigation into our stock option grant practices, we restated certain of our previously filed financial statements and recorded cumulative adjustments for non-cash stock-based compensation expense totaling $2.2 million. While these expenses are non-cash, the tax related impacts are expected to require the use of cash. At December 31, 2006, we had recorded approximately $101,000 of additional taxes, penalty and interest payable related to the exercise of certain incentive stock options. We intend to discuss a settlement with the Internal Revenue Service for a lesser amount. We also expect to pay approximately $46,000 in penalty and interest taxes related to revised measurement dates under Section 409A in the second half of 2007 from cash flows from operating activities.

        Inflation—Although our operations are influenced by general economic conditions, we do not believe inflation had a material effect on the results of operations during the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2007 or 2006. However, there can be no assurance our business will not be affected by inflation in the future.

Stock Option Investigation

        Our Board of Directors, with concurrence and oversight by our Audit Committee, which is comprised solely of independent directors, initiated an independent investigation into our historical stock option practices and related accounting covering the period from 1988 to 2006. As a result of this voluntary investigation, we recorded additional stock based compensation expense and related tax liabilities for certain stock option grants made during the review period and restated our consolidated financial statements and related footnote disclosures for fiscal years ending December 31, 2002 through 2005 and the first three quarters of the 2006 fiscal year. For a discussion of the results of this

28



investigation and a summary of the restatement, see Note 15 to the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

        We voluntarily contacted the SEC regarding this investigation into our stock option grant practices, and on June 8, 2007, the SEC formally notified us that its investigation relating to our historical stock option granting practices had been terminated and that no enforcement action had been recommended.


ITEM 3—QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK

Interest Rate Risk

        We invest cash balances in excess of operating requirements in short-term securities, generally with maturities of 90 days or less. Our credit agreement provides for borrowings, which bear interest at the bank's prime rate then currently in effect minus 1.5%, or the LIBOR rate plus 1.25%, if elected. Since January 1, 1994, the prime rate has fluctuated between 9.5% and 4% and the 1-year LIBOR rate has fluctuated between 7.5% and 1.2%. Based on the volatility of the prime rate in recent years, a five-percentage point increase in interest rates would have resulted in $0 of additional interest expense in the half of 2007. Through August 3, 2007, we had no borrowings or repayments on our revolving line of credit. The outstanding balance at August 3, 2007 was $0.

Foreign Exchange Rate Risk

        Due to our limited foreign operations in Asia, we are exposed to transaction adjustments with respect to foreign currency. Our functional currency is the United States dollar. Under United States dollar functional currency, the financial statements of foreign subsidiaries are remeasured from the recording currency to the United States dollar. The resulting remeasurement adjustment is recorded as foreign exchange gain or loss in the statement of operations. There is no translation adjustment to the separate component of stockholders' equity or adjustment to comprehensive income. We incurred foreign exchange losses of $145 and $2,006 for the first half of 2007 and 2006, respectively. At June 30, 2007, the effect of a 10% increase in foreign exchange rates would have resulted in a $656 foreign currency exchange loss on our non-United States denominated assets and a $10 foreign exchange gain on our non-United States denominated liabilities. As such, the net effect of a 10% increase in our foreign exchange rates, at June 30, 2007, would have been a $646 foreign currency exchange loss. We believe that operating under United States dollar functional currency, combined with transacting business in countries with traditionally stable currencies mitigates the effect of any near-term foreign currency transaction adjustments on Thomas Group's financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

        We have not engaged in foreign currency hedging transactions nor do we have any derivative financial instruments. However, going forward, we will assess the need to enter into hedging transactions to limit our risk due to fluctuations in exchange rates.


ITEM 4—CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

        Based on the evaluation of the our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report, James T. Taylor, our President and Chief Executive Officer, and David English, our Vice President, Chief Financial Officer, Secretary, and Treasurer, have concluded that, as of June 30, 2007, in their judgment, our disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us, including our subsidiaries, in the reports we file, or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms. Our disclosure controls and procedures include controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our President and Chief Executive

29



Officer and Vice President, Chief Financial Officer, Secretary, and Treasurer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management necessarily applied its judgment in assessing the costs and benefits of such controls and procedures, which, by their nature, can provide only reasonable assurance regarding management's control objectives. The design of any system of controls and procedures is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events. There can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions, regardless of how remote.

        There were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting during Thomas Group's last fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.

PART II—OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1—Legal Proceedings

        We self reported the internal investigation into our historical stock option practices and related restatement to the Securities and Exchange Commission and cooperated with all informational and other requests from the SEC. In June 2007, the SEC notified us that its investigation of our historical stock option granting practices had been terminated with no enforcement action recommended to the Commission.

        We may become subject to various claims and other legal matters, such as collection matters initiated by us in the ordinary course of conducting our business. We believe neither such claims and legal matters nor the cost of prosecuting and/or defending such claims and legal matters will have a material adverse effect on our consolidated results of operations, financial condition or cash flows. No material claims are currently pending; however, no assurances can be given that future claims, if any, will not be material.

        We are currently under routine audit by the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") for the calendar year 2005. As of August 3, 2007, no material adjustments have been proposed. We do not anticipate any material impact on our financial statements as a result of this audit.


ITEM 1A—Risk Factors

        There have been no material changes from the information previously reported under Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006.


ITEM 2—Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

Restricted Stock Awards

Net Profit Based Restricted Stock Awards

        On December 20, 2005, the Compensation Committee of our Board of Directors, with General John T. Chain, Jr. abstaining, granted net profit restricted share awards (i) for the future issuance of 300,000 restricted shares of our common stock to James T. Taylor, our President and Chief Executive Officer, and (ii) for the future issuance of 50,000 restricted shares of our common stock to David English, our Chief Financial Officer. On April 27, 2006, the Committee, with General John T. Chain, Jr. abstaining, granted a net profit restricted share award for the future issuance of 50,000 restricted shares of our common stock to Terry D. Stinson, our President North America Region—Commercial. On February 27, 2007, the Committee, with General John T. Chain abstaining, granted a net profit restricted share award for the future issuance of 20,000 shares of our common stock to Thad Wolfe, our President—Government, Air Force. We refer to these awards collectively as the "Net Profit Awards." The restrictions on one-third of the restricted shares to be issued to each officer will lapse (that is, such restricted shares will become "vested") on the last day of each fiscal year in which we achieve at least a 15% increase in annual profit when compared to the greater of (a) the annual profit for 2005 or (b) the annual profit for the preceding year. The percentage increase in annual profit will be calculated by dividing (x) the excess (if any) of the annual profit for the current year over the greater of (1) the annual profit for the year 2005 and (2) the annual profit for the preceding year; by (y) the greater of (1) or (2). At each time restricted shares become vested, we will issue such shares and deliver to the appropriate participant 40% of such vested shares, and will continue to hold the remaining 60% of vested shares until the participant's termination of full time employment (the "Retention Period"), at which time all such retained vested shares will be delivered to such participant. On April 6, 2007, upon certification of our financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006 by our independent certified public accounting firm, 133,334 shares vested and issuance of these restricted shares was approved by the Board of Directors at its June 26, 2007 meeting. No additional

31



shares vested under the net profit awards during the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2007. No consideration was paid for the shares and there were no proceeds to the company from these awards. The awards and the shares issued thereunder were issued pursuant to exemptions from registration under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, as transactions by an issuer not involving a public offering.

Share Price Restricted Stock Award

        On December 23, 2005, the Compensation Committee of our Board of Directors, pursuant to our 2005 Omnibus Stock Award and Incentive Plan, with General John T. Chain, Jr. abstaining, granted a share price restricted share award for 300,000 shares of restricted stock to James T. Taylor, our President and Chief Executive Officer. We refer to this award as the "Share Price Award." The restricted shares become "available shares" in 20,000 share increments based upon the highest "quarterly price" achieved during the term of such award. The "quarterly price" for a quarter will be equal to the lowest closing price per share of Thomas Group stock during any given calendar quarter, beginning with the quarter ending December 31, 2005. The 20,000 restricted shares become available shares if there is a "quarterly price" of at least $6.00, and an additional 20,000 restricted shares become available for every $1 increase (above $6.00) in the quarterly price so that, if the quarterly price reaches $20, all of the shares will become available shares. As of December 31, 2006, 100,000 restricted shares have become available shares since the date of the Share Price Award. On December 23, 2010 (the fifth anniversary of the date of grant), if the award has not previously terminated, the restrictions on all restricted shares which have become available shares will lapse.

        The restricted shares granted to Mr. Taylor by the award agreement do not constitute issued and outstanding common stock for any corporate purposes, and Mr. Taylor has no rights, powers or privileges of a holder of unrestricted shares, until such time as such shares become available shares. After such time, Mr. Taylor shall have all rights, powers and privileges of a holder of unrestricted shares, including the right to receive dividends or distributions, except the right to receive and transfer such shares until they have vested in accordance with the terms of the award agreement.

        Based on the lowest closing price of Thomas Group stock of $8.68 per share during the second quarter of 2007 and $10.55 per share during the first quarter of 2007, no awards were earned in the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2007. Restricted shares granted under the award have become available shares as follows:

Quarter Ended

  Lowest Closing
Price per Share

  Available
Shares

March 31, 2006   $ 6.97   20,000
June 30, 2006   $ 7.46   20,000
September 30, 2006   $ 8.38   20,000
December 31, 2006   $ 10.15   40,000
March 31, 2007   $ 10.55  
June 30, 2007   $ 8.68  
         
Total         100,000

        No consideration was paid for the shares and there were no proceeds to the Company from the award. The award and the shares issued thereunder were issued in a private transaction with our president and CEO and did not involve a public offering and, therefore, was exempt from registration pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.


ITEM 3—Defaults Upon Senior Securities

        None.
