NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
In the opinion of management, the financial information furnished
herein reflects all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of
the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the
interim periods specified. These adjustments consist only of normal
recurring accruals. Because of seasonal and other factors, results
for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to
be expected for the full year.
a. The following table shows how earnings per share were computed for the
three and nine months ended September 30, 2002 and 2001 (dollars in millions,

At September 30, 2002, 36.6 million shares related to employee stock plans
were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because
the option prices are above the average market price of the company's common
stock.
b. Effective January 1, 2002, the company adopted Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 142 "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets."
SFAS No. 142 no longer permits the amortization of goodwill and indefinite-
6
lived intangible assets. Instead, these assets must be reviewed annually for
impairment in accordance with this statement. SFAS 142 requires the company
to perform a transitional impairment test of its goodwill as of January 1,
2002, as well as perform impairment tests on an annual basis and whenever
events or circumstances occur indicating that the goodwill may be impaired.
The company performed the transitional impairment test of goodwill as of
January 1, 2002, which indicated that the company's goodwill was not
impaired.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2002, there was an increase in
goodwill of $3.0 million related to an immaterial acquisition. All other
changes were attributable to foreign currency translation adjustments.
Goodwill as of September 30, 2002 was allocated by segment as follows:
Technology - $117.2 million; Services - $41.3 million.
The company's net income and earnings per share for the three and nine months
ended September 30, 2002 and 2001, adjusted to exclude goodwill amortization,
was as follows (in millions of dollars, except per share amounts):

c. The company has two business segments: Services and Technology. Revenue
classifications by segment are as follows: Services - systems integration
and consulting, outsourcing, network services, and core maintenance;
Technology - enterprise-class servers and specialized technologies. The
accounting policies of each business segment are the same as those followed
by the company as a whole. Intersegment sales and transfers are priced as if
the sales or transfers were to third parties. The company evaluates business
segment performance on operating income exclusive of restructuring charges
and unusual and nonrecurring items, which are included in Corporate. All
other corporate and centrally incurred costs are allocated to the business
segments based principally on assets, revenue, employees, square footage or
usage.

e. In response to the weak economic environment in 2001, the company took
actions to reduce its cost structure. In the fourth quarter of 2001, the
company recorded a pretax charge of $276.3 million, or $.64 per share,
primarily for a work-force reduction of approximately 3,750 people (1,700
in the United States and 2,050 outside the United States). Of the total,
1,910 people left the company in 2001, which included 764 people who
accepted an early retirement program in the United States. For those
employees who accepted the early retirement program, cash requirements were
provided through the company's pension plan. Cash expenditures in 2001
related to the involuntary reductions were $23.3 million. These activities
did not significantly affect the company's operations while they were
ongoing. A further breakdown of the individual components of these costs

------ ------ ------ ------
(1)Includes severance, notice pay, medical and other benefits.
(2)Includes product and program discontinuances, principally representing
a provision for asset write-offs.
(3)Changes in estimates and translation adjustments.
Most of the 2001 fourth-quarter charges were related to work-force
reductions ($204.7 million), principally severance costs. Other employee-
related costs are not significant. Approximately $58.8 million of this
total was funded from the company's U.S. pension plan. The remainder of
the cost related to work-force reductions as well as idle lease costs,
discussed below, is being funded from the company's operating cash flow.
The charge related to idle lease costs was $29.5 million and relates to
contractual obligations (reduced by estimated sublease income) existing
under long-term leases of vacated facilities. Estimates of the amounts
and timing of sublease income were based on discussions with real estate
brokers that considered the marketability of the individual property
involved. The charge for product and program discontinuances was $42.1
million and principally represented capitalized marketable software and
inventory related to products or programs that were discontinued at
December 31, 2001. These actions have lowered the company's cost base
(principally employee-related costs), thereby making the company better
able to compete in the marketplace.
Cash expenditures related to the 2001 and prior-year restructuring charges
were approximately $87 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2002
compared to $41 million for the prior-year period, and are expected to be
approximately $31 million (which includes approximately $2 million related
to restructuring charges taken prior to 2001) for the remainder of 2002
and $69 million (which includes approximately $10 million related to
restructuring charges taken prior to 2001) in total for all subsequent
years, principally for work-force reductions and idle lease costs.
Personnel reductions in the first nine months of 2002 related to these
restructuring actions were 1,698 and are expected to be 323 for the
remainder of the year.
11
During the nine months ended September 30, 2002, the company reduced its
accrued workforce reserve by $12.7 million. This reduction related to 306
employees who were designated for involuntary termination but were
retained as a result of job positions that became available due to
voluntary terminations or acceptance of alternative positions within the
company. In addition, given the continuing weak economic environment,
the company identified new restructuring activities and recorded, in the
second quarter of 2002, an additional provision of $20.2 million,
principally for a workforce reduction of 568 people.
f. The amount credited to stockholders' equity for the income tax benefit
related to the company's stock plans for the nine months ended September
30, 2002 and 2001 was $3.1 million and $4.1 million, respectively. The
company expects to realize these tax benefits on future Federal income tax
returns.
g. In April 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 145, "Rescission
of FASB Statements No. 4, 44, and 64, Amendment of FASB Statement No. 13,
and Technical Corrections." SFAS No. 145 rescinds SFAS No. 4 which
required that all gains and losses from extinguishment of debt be reported
as an extraordinary item. SFAS No. 145 also amends SFAS No. 13, Accounting
for Leases," in respect to sale-leaseback transactions.
The provisions of SFAS No. 145 related to the rescission of SFAS No. 4 must
be applied in fiscal years beginning after May 15, 2002. The company will
adopt this statement effective January 1, 2003. Any gain or loss on
extinguishment of debt that was classified as an extraordinary item in
prior periods that does not meet the criteria of Opinion 30 for
classification as an extraordinary item will be reclassified from
extraordinary item to other income (expense), net. Adoption of SFAS No.
145 will have no effect on the company's consolidated financial position,
consolidated net income or liquidity.
In June 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 146, "Accounting for Costs
Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities." SFAS No. 146 requires
companies to recognize costs associated with exit or disposal activities
when they are incurred rather than at the date of a commitment to an exit
or disposal plan. SFAS No. 146 replaces previous accounting guidance
provided by EITF Issue No. 94-3, "Liability Recognition for Certain
Employee Termination Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an Activity
(including Certain Costs Incurred in a Restructuring)" and will be
effective for the company for exit or disposal activities initiated after
December 31, 2002. The company does not believe that adoption of this
statement will have a material impact on its consolidated financial
position, consolidated results of operations, or liquidity.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations.
Results of Operations
- ---------------------
For the three months ended September 30, 2002, the company reported net income
of $59.0 million, or $.18 per share, compared to $20.9 million, or $.07 per
share, for the three months ended September 30, 2001.
Total revenue for the quarter ended September 30, 2002 was $1.33 billion, down
3% from revenue of $1.38 billion for the quarter ended September 30, 2001.
Both Services revenue of $1.02 billion and Technology revenue of $316 million
declined 3% from the prior-year period.
U.S. revenue increased 3% in the third quarter to $619 million from $599
million in the year-ago period, while revenue in international markets
decreased 8% to $713 million from $777 million in the year-ago period.
Currency changes had a negligible impact on revenue in the quarter when
compared to the prior-year quarter, with currency strength in Europe
offsetting currency weakness in Latin America.
Total gross profit was 30.3% in the third quarter of 2002 compared to 27.6% in
the year-ago period. The increase was principally due to the company's focus
on higher value-added business opportunities and continued tight cost controls.
For the three months ended September 30, 2002, selling, general and
administrative expenses were $241.3 million (18.1% of revenue) compared to
$262.7 million (19.1% of revenue) for the three months ended September 30, 2001.
The decline in selling, general and administrative expenses was principally
driven by the company's cost reduction actions.
Research and development ("R&D") expense was $65.5 million compared to $73.4
million a year earlier. The lower level of R&D reflects changes that the
company has made to improve efficiencies, to consolidate R&D activities in
systems integration to improve synergies, and to make use of lower-cost
offshore resources for software support. Although the amount of R&D is down,
the company continues to invest in high-end CMP server technology and in key
programs within its industry practices.
For the third quarter of 2002, the company reported an operating income
percent of 7.2% compared to 3.2% for the third quarter of 2001.
The company has two business segments: Services and Technology. Revenue
classifications by segment are as follows: Services - systems integration and
consulting, outsourcing, network services, and core maintenance;
Technology - enterprise-class servers and specialized technologies. The
accounting policies of each business segment are the same as those followed by
the company as a whole. Intersegment sales and transfers are priced as if the
sales or transfers were to third parties. The company evaluates business
segment performance on operating income exclusive of restructuring charges and
unusual and nonrecurring items, which are included in Corporate. All other
corporate and centrally incurred costs are allocated to the business segments
based principally on assets, revenue, employees, square footage or usage. The
following gross profit percent and operating income percent are as a percent
of total revenue.

In the Services segment, customer revenue was $1.02 billion, down 3% from
$1.05 billion in the year-ago period, as a 12% increase in outsourcing ($371
million in the third quarter of 2002 compared to $332 million in the prior
period) was more than offset by a 12% decline in network services ($199
million in the current period compared to $227 million in the prior-year
period), a 12% decline in systems integration ($308 million in the current
period compared to $348 million in the prior period), and a 4% decline in core
maintenance revenue ($139 million in the current period compared to
$145 million in the prior period). Within the Services segment, the year-over-
year change in revenue reflects market conditions. Market demand in the
Services segment currently varies by revenue classification. Demand for
services that drive short-term cost and process efficiencies (outsourcing)
remains strong, while market demand for project-based work (systems
integration and network services) remains weak. The growth in outsourcing
revenue, which was particularly driven by growth in business process
outsourcing, as well as the decline in both systems integration and network
services in the quarter were reflective of these market conditions.
Additionally, the core maintenance decline in the quarter is reflective of the
long-term industry trend for reduction in maintenance, as the underlying
equipment reliability has improved over time. The Services segment gross
profit percent increased to 22.5% in the current quarter from 20.8% in the
prior period. The Services segment's operating profit percent increased to
5.7% in the current quarter compared to 2.2% in the year-ago period. The
company achieved these margin improvements by executing its strategy of
selective pursuit of higher value-added business opportunities, growing its
annuity-based outsourcing business and resizing its workforce to meet the
market demand.
In the Technology segment, customer revenue declined 3% to $316 million in the
third quarter of 2002 from $325 million in the prior-year period. Demand in
the Technology segment remained weak industry-wide as customers deferred
spending on new computer hardware and software. Sales of enterprise-class
servers declined 7% to $206 million from $222 million in the year-ago quarter,
primarily reflecting lower ClearPath server sales. Sales of specialized
technology products increased 8% to $110 million in the third quarter of 2002
from $103 million in the third quarter of 2001, principally driven by the
payment systems business.
14
The gross profit percent in the Technology segment was 46.4% in the current
quarter compared to 42.1% in the prior period, and operating profit in this
segment increased to 10.1% in the current quarter from 7.5% in 2001,
primarily reflecting, within ClearPath revenue, a higher proportion of
high-end, higher margin products, as well as increased demand for
high-end payment systems products.
Interest expense for the three months ended September 30, 2002 was
$17.6 million compared to $16.5 million for the three months ended
September 30, 2001.
Other income (expense), net was income of $9.5 million in the current quarter
compared to income of $3.9 million in the year-ago quarter. The principal
reason for the increase was foreign exchange gains, principally in Latin
America, of $9.6 million in the current period compared to $3.1 million of
foreign exchange gains in the year-ago period.
Income before income taxes was $88.1 million in the third quarter of 2002
compared to $31.2 million last year. The provision for income taxes was $29.1
million in the current period compared to $10.3 million in the year-ago period.
The effective tax rate in both periods was 33%.
Pension income for the three months ended September 30, 2002 was approximately
$37 million compared to approximately $42 million for the three months ended
September 30, 2001. At the beginning of each year, accounting rules require
that the company establish an expected long-term rate of return on its pension
plan assets. The principal reason for the decline in pension income was that,
effective January 1, 2002, the company reduced its expected long-term rate of
return on plan assets for its U.S. pension plan to 9.5% from 10.0%. This
change will cause 2002 pension income in the U.S. to decline by approximately
$24 million from the 2001 amount. The company records pension income or
expense, as well as other employee-related costs such as FICA and medical
insurance costs, in operating income in the following income statement
categories: cost of sales, selling, general and administrative expenses, and
research and development expenses. The amount allocated to each line is based
on where the salaries of the active employees are charged.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2002, net income was $133.9 million,
or $.41 per share, compared to net income of $102.3 million, or $.32 per share,
last year. The prior-year period included an extraordinary item for the early
extinguishment of debt of $17.2 million, or $.05 per share. Excluding this
item, income in the prior-year period was $119.5 million, or $.37 per share.
Revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 was $4.05 billion, down
9% from $4.46 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2001. Other
income (expense), net for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 was an
expense of $18.9 million compared to income of $32.6 million for the nine
months ended September 30, 2001. The decline was principally due to foreign
exchange losses in the current period of $1.5 million compared to foreign
exchange gains of $25.2 million in the prior year and equity losses of $12.8
million in the current period compared to equity gains of $13.0 million last
year.
Financial Condition
- -------------------
Cash and cash equivalents at September 30, 2002 were $166.2 million compared
to $325.9 million at December 31, 2001.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2002, cash provided by operations was
$70.0 million compared to cash used of $64.7 million for the nine months ended
September 30, 2001. Cash expenditures in the nine months ended September 30,
2002 related to prior-year restructuring charges (which are included in
operating activities) were approximately $87 million compared to $41 million
in the prior-year period. These expenditures are expected to be approximately
$31 million for the remainder of 2002 and $69 million in total for all
subsequent years, principally for work-force reductions and idle lease costs.
Personnel reductions in the first nine months of 2002 relating to these
restructuring actions were 1,698 and are expected to be 323 for the remainder
of the year. See Note e of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
Cash used for investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2002
was $285.5 million compared to $227.9 million during the nine months ended
September 30, 2001. The increase was principally due to net purchases of
investments (derivative financial instruments used to manage the company's
15
exposure to market risks from changes in foreign currency exchange rates) of
$23.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 compared to net
proceeds from investments of $9.1 million in the prior-year period, as well as
higher current period additions to properties, principally related to the
outsourcing business.
Cash provided by financing activities during the nine months ended September 30,
2002 was $54.1 million compared to cash provided of $130.7 million in the prior
year. The decrease was due to lower net proceeds from short-term borrowings
for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 of $33.8 million, compared to net
proceeds from short-term borrowings of $68.9 million in the prior-year period.
In addition, during the nine months ended September 30, 2001, the company had
net proceeds from issuance of long-term debt of $35.6 million compared to a
net payment of $1.6 million in the current period.
At September 30, 2002, total debt was $863.4 million, an increase of $37.3
million from December 31, 2001. The debt to capital ratio was 28% at
September 30, 2002 and December 31, 2001.
The company has a $450 million credit agreement that expires March 2004. As
of September 30, 2002, there were no borrowings under this facility.
Borrowings under the agreement bear interest based on the then current LIBOR
or prime rates and the company's credit rating. The credit agreement contains
financial and other covenants, including maintenance of certain financial
ratios, a minimum level of net worth and limitations on certain types of
transactions, which could reduce the amount the company is able to borrow.
Events of default under the credit agreement include failure to perform
covenants, material adverse change, change of control and default under other
debt aggregating at least $25 million. If an event of default were to occur
under the credit agreement, the lenders would be entitled to declare all
amounts borrowed under it immediately due and payable. The occurrence of an
event of default under the credit agreement could also cause the acceleration
of obligations under certain other agreements and the termination of the
company's U.S. trade accounts receivable facility described below.
The company and certain international subsidiaries have access to certain
uncommitted lines of credit from various banks. Other sources of short-term
funding are operational cash flows, including customer prepayments, and the
company's U.S. trade accounts receivable facility. Using this facility, the
company sells, on an on-going basis, up to $225 million of its eligible U.S.
trade accounts receivable through a wholly owned subsidiary, Unisys Funding
Corporation I. At September 30, 2002, receivables of $177 million were sold
and therefore removed from the accompanying consolidated balance sheet. The
facility is renewable annually at the purchasers' option and expires in
December 2003.
At September 30, 2002, the company has met all of the covenants and conditions
under its various lending and funding agreements. Since the company believes
that it will continue to meet these covenants and conditions, the company
believes that it has adequate sources and availability of short-term funding
to meet its expected cash requirements.
The company may, from time to time, redeem, tender for, or repurchase its
securities in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions
depending upon availability, market conditions and other factors.
The company has on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission an
effective registration statement covering $1.5 billion of debt or equity
securities, which enables the company to be prepared for future market
opportunities.
At September 30, 2002, the company had deferred tax assets in excess of
deferred tax liabilities of $1,384 million. For the reasons cited below,
management determined that it is more likely than not that $1,037 million of
such assets will be realized, therefore resulting in a valuation allowance of
$347 million.
The company evaluates quarterly the realizability of its deferred tax assets
and adjusts the amount of the related valuation allowance, if necessary.
The factors used to assess the likelihood of realization are the company's
forecast of future taxable income, and available tax planning strategies that
could be implemented to realize deferred tax assets. Approximately
$3.2 billion of future
16
taxable income (predominantly U.S.) is needed to realize all of the net
deferred tax assets. Failure to achieve forecasted taxable income might
affect the ultimate realization of the net deferred tax assets. See "Factors
that may affect future results" below.
Accounting rules require that a company determine the fair value of its
pension plan assets as well as the discount rate to be used to calculate the
present value of plan liabilities as of the end of its fiscal year, or if
used consistently from year to year, as of a date not more than three months
prior to that date. The company has chosen December 31 as its measurement
date. The discount rate is an estimate of the interest rate at which the
pension benefits could be effectively settled. In estimating the discount
rate, the company looks to rates of return on high quality, fixed income
investments currently available and expected to be available during the
period to maturity of the pension benefits. The company specifically uses
a portfolio of fixed-income securities, which receive at least the second
highest rating given by a recognized rating agency. The discount rate is
used to calculate the present value of the pension obligation (the
accumulated benefit obligation, or "ABO") at a point in time.
Each year, at its normal measurement date (December 31st for the company),
accounting rules further require a company to recognize a liability on
its balance sheet for each pension plan if the fair value of the assets
of that pension plan is less than the ABO. This liability is called a
"minimum pension liability" and is recorded as a charge in "accumulated
other comprehensive income (loss)" in stockholders' equity. In addition,
any prepaid pension assets related to pension plans with a minimum
pension liability must be reclassified to stockholders' equity.
Due to declines in the market value of equity securities during the quarter
ended September 30, 2002, the ABO (estimated as of December 31, 2002) of the
company's U.S. defined benefit pension plan, as well as certain foreign
defined benefit pension plans, exceeded the fair value of plan assets by
approximately $600 million. Should the actual ABO at December 31, 2002 exceed
the fair market value of plan assets at December 31, 2002, the company would
be required to record an additional minimum pension liability to the extent of
such difference. However, if the fair value of plan assets were to increase or
long-term interest rates were to increase to the extent that the fair value of
the assets for such defined benefit pension plans exceeded the ABO at December
31, 2002, no additional minimum pension liability would be required.
Assuming that the December 31, 2002 pension asset and liability amounts were
the same as at September 30, 2002, the company would record a charge to
stockholders' equity, of approximately $1.3 billion, representing the net of
tax impact of recording the minimum pension liability for the U.S. and
certain foreign pension plans and reclassifying the prepaid pension assets
related to these plans. This accounting would have no effect on the
company's net income, liquidity or cash flows. Financial covenants in the
company's credit agreement specifically exclude the effects of the charge
to stockholders' equity caused by recording a minimum pension liability.
If at the following year-end (December 31, 2003), the fair value of the
pension plan assets exceeds the ABO, the charge to stockholders' equity
would be reversed.
Stockholders' equity increased $98.9 million during the nine months ended
September 30, 2002, principally reflecting net income of $133.9 million, $34.8
million for issuance of stock under stock option and other plans, and $3.1
million of tax benefits related to employee stock plans, partially offset by
currency translation of $68.6 million.
Factors That May Affect Future Results
- --------------------------------------
From time to time, the company provides information containing "forward-
looking" statements, as defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform
Act of 1995. All forward-looking statements rely on assumptions and are
subject to risks, uncertainties and other factors that could cause the
company's actual results to differ materially from expectations. These other
factors include, but are not limited to, those discussed below.
The company's business is affected by changes in general economic and business
conditions. It also could be affected by acts of war, terrorism or natural
disasters. During 2002, the company is facing a very challenging economic
environment. In this environment, many organizations are delaying planned
17
purchases of information technology products and services. If the level of
demand for the company's products and services declines in the future, the
company's business could be adversely affected.
The information services and technology markets in which the company operates
include a large number of companies vying for customers and market share both
domestically and internationally. The company's competitors include computer
hardware manufacturers, software providers, systems integrators, consulting
and other professional services firms, outsourcing providers, and network
services providers. Some of the company's competitors may develop competing
products and services that offer better price-performance or that reach the
market in advance of the company's offerings. Some competitors also have or
may develop greater financial and other resources than the company, with
enhanced ability to compete for market share generally, in some instances
through significant economic incentives to secure contracts. Some may also be
better able to compete for skilled professionals. Any of this could have an
adverse effect on the company's business. Future results will depend on the
company's ability to mitigate the effects of aggressive competition on
revenues, pricing and margins and on the company's ability to attract and
retain talented people.
The company operates in a highly volatile industry characterized by rapid
technological change, evolving technology standards, short product life-cycles
and continually changing customer demand patterns. Future success will
depend in part on the company's ability to anticipate and respond to these
market trends and to design, develop, introduce, deliver, or obtain new and
innovative products and services on a timely and cost-effective basis. The
company may not be successful in anticipating or responding to changes in
technology, industry standards or customer preferences, and the market may not
demand or accept its services and product offerings. In addition, products
and services developed by competitors may make the company's offerings less
competitive.
The company's future results will depend in part on its ability to accelerate
growth in outsourcing and managed services. The company's outsourcing
contracts are multi-year engagements under which the company takes over
management of a client's technology operations, business processes or networks.
The company will need to maintain a strong financial position in order to grow
its outsourcing business. In a number of these arrangements, the company hires
certain of its clients' employees and may become responsible for the related
employee obligations, such as pension and severance commitments.
In addition, system development activity on outsourcing contracts may require
the company to make significant up-front investments. As long-term
relationships, these outsourcing contracts provide a base of recurring revenue.
However, in the early phases of these contracts, gross margins may be lower
than in later years when the work force and facilities have been rationalized
for efficient operations and an integrated systems solution has been
implemented.
Future results will also depend in part on the company's ability to drive
profitable growth in systems integration and consulting. The company's
systems integration and consulting business has been adversely affected by the
current economic slowdown. In this economic environment, customers have been
delaying systems integration projects. The company's ability to grow
profitably in this business will depend in part on an improvement in economic
conditions and a pick-up in demand for systems integration projects. It will
also depend on the success of the actions the company has taken to enhance the
skills base and management team in this business and to refocus the business
on integrating best-of-breed, standards-based solutions to solve client needs.
In addition, profit margins in this business are largely a function of the
rates the company is able to charge for services and the chargeability of its
professionals. If the company is not able to maintain the rates it charges or
appropriate chargeability for its professionals, profit margins will suffer.
The rates the company is able to charge for services are affected by a number
of factors, including: clients' perception of the company's ability to add
value through its services; introduction of new services or products by the
company or its competitors; pricing policies of competitors; and general
economic conditions. Chargeability is also affected by a number of factors,
including: the company's ability to transition employees from completed
projects to new engagements; and its ability to forecast demand for services
and thereby maintain an appropriate head count.
18
Future results will also depend in part on market acceptance of the company's
high-end enterprise servers. In its technology business, the company is
focusing its resources on high-end enterprise servers based on its Cellular
MultiProcessing (CMP) architecture. The company's CMP servers are designed to
provide mainframe-class capabilities with compelling price-performance by
making use of standards-based technologies such as Intel chips and Microsoft
operating system software. Recently the company has transitioned both its
legacy ClearPath servers and its Intel-based ES7000s to the CMP platform,
creating a common platform for all the company's high-end server lines. Future
results will depend, in part, on customer acceptance of the new CMP-based
ClearPath Plus systems and the company's ability to maintain its installed
base for ClearPath, which continues to provide the majority of operating
profit in the company's technology business. In addition, future results will
depend, in part, on the company's ability to generate new customers and
accelerate sales of the lower-margin Intel-based ES7000 line. The company
believes there is significant growth potential in the developing market for
high-end Intel-based servers running Microsoft operating system software.
However, competition in this new market is likely to intensify in coming
years, and the company's ability to succeed will depend on its ability to
compete effectively against enterprise server competitors with more
substantial resources and its ability to achieve market acceptance of the
ES7000 technology by clients, systems integrators, and independent software
vendors.
A number of the company's long-term contracts for network services,
outsourcing, help desk and similar services do not provide for minimum
transaction volumes. As a result, revenue levels are not guaranteed. In
addition, some of these contracts may permit termination or may impose other
penalties if the company does not meet the performance levels specified in the
contracts.
Some of the company's systems integration contracts are fixed-priced contracts
under which the company assumes the risk for delivery of the contracted
services and products at an agreed-upon fixed price. At times the company has
experienced problems in performing some of these fixed-price contracts on a
profitable basis and has provided periodically for adjustments to the
estimated cost to complete them. Future results will depend on the company's
ability to perform these services contracts profitably.
The company frequently enters into contracts with governmental entities.
Risks and uncertainties associated with these government contracts include the
availability of appropriated funds and contractual provisions that allow
governmental entities to terminate agreements at their discretion before the
end of their terms.
The success of the company's business is dependent on strong, long-term client
relationships and on its reputation for responsiveness and quality. As a
result, if a client is not satisfied with the company's services or products,
its reputation could be damaged and its business adversely affected. In
addition, if the company fails to meet its contractual obligations, it could
be subject to legal liability, which could adversely affect its business,
operating results and financial condition.
The company has commercial relationships with suppliers, channel partners and
other parties that have complementary products, services or skills. Future
results will depend in part on the performance and capabilities of these third
parties, on the ability of external suppliers to deliver components at
reasonable prices and in a timely manner, and on the financial condition of,
and the company's relationship with, distributors and other indirect channel
partners.
Approximately 56% of the company's total revenue derives from international
operations. The risks of doing business internationally include foreign
currency exchange rate fluctuations, changes in political or economic
conditions, trade protection measures, import or export licensing
requirements, multiple and possibly overlapping and conflicting tax laws,
and weaker intellectual property protections in some jurisdictions.
The company cannot be sure that its services and products do not infringe on
the intellectual property rights of third parties, and it may have
infringement claims asserted against it or against its clients. These claims
could cost the company money, prevent it from offering some services or
products, or damage its reputation.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Within 90 days prior to the date of filing of this report, the company
carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation
of the company's management, including the Chief Executive Officer and
the Chief Financial Officer, of the design and operation of the company's
disclosure controls and procedures. Based on this evaluation, the
company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded
that the company's disclosure controls and procedures are effective for
gathering, analyzing and disclosing the information the company is
required to disclose in the reports it files under the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934, within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms.
There have been no significant changes in the company's internal controls
or in other factors that could significantly affect internal controls
subsequent to the date of this evaluation.
