BUTLER INTERNATIONAL, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

  1. PRESENTATION:
  2. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Butler International, Inc. and subsidiaries (the "Company") have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments consisting of normal recurring adjustments and accruals, as well as accounting changes (see Note 2) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been reflected in these condensed consolidated financial statements. Operating results for the quarter are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2002 due to seasonal and other factors. Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statement and footnotes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2001.

  3. ACCOUNTING CHANGES:
  4. Change in Accounting for Goodwill and Certain Other Intangibles

    Effective January 1, 2002, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets". SFAS No. 142 requires that goodwill and other indefinite lived intangible assets not be amortized, but be tested for impairment at least annually at the reporting unit level. An impairment charge will be recognized only when the implied fair value of a reporting unit, including goodwill, is less than its carrying amount. Accordingly, the Company ceased amortization of all goodwill on January 1, 2002. The application of the non-amortization provisions of SFAS No. 142 is expected to result in additional net income for the year of approximately $1,553,000 or approximately $0.16 per common share.

    SFAS No. 142 provides a six-month transitional period from the effective date of adoption for the Company to perform an assessment of whether there is an indication that goodwill is impaired. To the extent that an indication of impairment exists, the Company must perform a second test to measure the amount of the impairment. The Company determined the implied fair value of each of its reporting units using a discounted cash flow analysis and compared such values to the respective reporting units' carrying amounts. This evaluation indicated that goodwill recorded in the Technology Solutions segment was impaired as of January 1, 2002. The primary factor resulting in the impairment charge was the continuing difficult economic environment in the information technology sector. Accordingly, the Company recognized a non-cash charge of approximately $12,338,000 (net of tax benefit of approximately $1,404,000), recorded as of January 1, 2002, as a cumulative effect of a change in accounting pr inciple for the write-down of goodwill to its fair value. No impairment charge was appropriate under the previous goodwill impairment standard, which was based on undiscounted cash flows.

    Other Accounting Pronouncements

    Effective January 1, 2002, the Company also adopted SFAS No 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets", which supersedes SFAS No. 121. Though it retains the basic requirements of SFAS No. 121 regarding when and how to measure an impairment loss, SFAS No. 144 provides additional implementation guidance. SFAS No. 144 applies to long-lived assets to be held and used or to be disposed of, including assets under capital leases of lessees; assets subject to operating leases of lessors; and prepaid assets. SFAS No. 144 also expands the scope of a discontinued operation to include a component of an entity, and eliminates the current exemption to consolidation when control over a subsidiary is likely to be temporary. The adoption of SFAS 144 did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated results of operations and financial position.

  5. RESTRUCTURING AND OTHER CHARGES:
  6. In April 2001, the Company announced a Company-wide cost reduction plan. The Company recorded restructuring and other charges totaling $9.3 million during 2001. These charges were for costs incurred to eliminate excess capacity, reduce both staff and service delivery personnel in all of the Company's business units, the closing of certain unprofitable locations and the termination of unprofitable contracts and activities. As a result of the restructuring, a total of 389 employees were terminated in 2001. During the first and second quarters of 2002, the Company recorded additional charge of $1,554,000 principally related to the termination of an additional 112 employees, the closing of certain unprofitable locations and the termination of an unprofitable contract. Also, the Company finalized certain previously recorded restructuring accruals resulting in a credit to income of $527,000 primarily due to favorable settlements of facility lease commitments.

    Basic earnings/(loss) per common share is calculated by dividing net income/(loss), adjusted for preferred stock dividends, by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings/(loss) per share is calculated by dividing net income/(loss) by the sum of the weighted average number of common shares that would have been outstanding if potentially dilutive securities or common stock equivalents had been issued. As a result of the net loss reported for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, potential common shares of 410.583 and 232,000, respectively, have been excluded from the calculations of diluted loss per share because their effect would be anti-dilutive. In addition, for the three and six-month periods ending June 30, 2002 and 2001, there were options and warrants totaling 1,279,500 and 1,148,500, respectively, where the exercise price was greater than the average market price of the common shares were excluded from the computation of diluted loss per share.

  1. GOODWILL
  2. As described in Note 2, the Company adopted SFAS No. 142 as of January 1, 2002 and, as a result, all of the Company's goodwill is no longer amortized. The effect of this accounting change is reflected prospectively. The following table reflects the Company's comparative net loss before the cumulative effect of accounting change and goodwill amortization under SFAS No. 142 (in thousands except for per share data):

    The Company primarily operates in the United States. The Technical Group operations include the results of its United Kingdom ("UK") and India subsidiaries. Sales from the UK and India operations were approximately $3.9 million and $3.1 million for the three-month period ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively and $7.2.million and $6.3 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2002, respectively. Operating profits from the UK subsidiary were approximately $111,000 and $86,000 for the three-month periods ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively, and approximately $216,000 and $195,000 for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively. The India subsidiary began operations in April 2001. It generated operating profits of approximately $96,000 and $82,000 for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2002, respectively, compared to losses of $59,000 for the same periods in 2001.

    Management reviews the Company's assets on a consolidated basis, as it is not meaningful to allocate assets to the various segments. Unallocated amounts of operating profits consist of corporate expenses and certain general and administrative expenses from field operations.

  1. CONTINGENCIES:
  2. The Company and its subsidiaries are parties to various legal proceedings and claims incidental to its normal business operations for which no material liability is expected beyond which is recorded. While the ultimate resolution is not known, management does not expect that the resolution of such matters will have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial statements and results of operations.

    On July 21, 2002, a significant customer of the Company, Worldcom, Inc. ("WorldCom"), filed for reorganization under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. At the time of the bankruptcy filing, the Company had outstanding receivables due from WorldCom of approximately $700,000. Although it is impossible to predict the outcome of the WorldCom reorganization, management believes that adequate provisions have been made for probable losses with respect thereto and that the outcome, after such provisions, will not have a material adverse effect on the consolidated results of operations or financial position.

  3. LONG-TERM DEBT:
  4. The Company has a seven year mortgage for its corporate office facility.  During the quarter, the Company did not meet the fixed charge coverage ratio covenant contained in the mortgage agreement. The Company did receive a waiver from the mortgage holder, however, in exchange for the waiver, among other things, the bank has accelerated the maturity date from November 1, 2004 to September 30, 2002.  As result, the mortgage has been reclassified to current and is included in the current portion of long-term debt on the June 30, 2002 balance sheet.  In response, the Company has received and executed a mortgage offer letter from another institution and is currently in the due diligence phase of the proposed transaction.  The Company expects to close on the new mortgage by September 30, 2002.  Additionally, the Company has also received a sale-leaseback offer for its corporate headquarters facility.

  5. RECENTLY ISSUED FINANCIAL ACCOUNTING STANDARDS:

In June 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 143, "Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations". This Statement establishes accounting standards for the recognition and measurement of an asset retirement obligation and associated asset retirement cost. It also provides accounting guidance for legal obligations associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets. SFAS No. 143 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2002 with early adoption permitted.   The Company plans to adopt SFAS No. 143 effective January 1, 2003 and expects that it will not have a material impact on its consolidated results of operations and financial position..

In April 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 145, Rescission of FASB Statements No. 4, 44, and 64, Amendment of FASB Statement No. 13, and Technical Corrections. Statement 145 rescinds SFAS No. 4, which required all gains and losses from extinguishment of debt to be aggregated and, if material, classified as an extraordinary item, net of related income tax effect. As a result, the criteria in Opinion 30 will now be used to classify those gains and losses. SFAS No. 64 amended SFAS No. 4, and is no longer necessary because SFAS No. 4 has been rescinded. SFAS No. 44 was issued to establish accounting requirements for the effects of transition to the provisions of the Motor Carrier Act of 1980. Because the transition has been completed, SFAS No. 44 is no longer necessary. SFAS No. 145 amends SFAS No. 13 to require that certain lease modifications that have economic effects similar to sale-leaseback transactions should be accounted for in the same manner as sale-leaseback transactions. Th e provisions of this Statement related to the rescission of SFAS No. 4 are effective for fiscal years beginning after May 15, 2002,and all other provisions of this Statement are effective for financial statements issued on or after May 15, 2002, with early application encouraged. The Company plans to adopt SFAS No. 145 effective January 1, 2003.

In June 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 146, Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities. This Statement addresses financial accounting and reporting for cost associated with exit or disposal activities and nullifies Emerging Issue Task Force ("EITF") Issue No. 94-3, Liability Recognition for Certain Employee Termination Benefits and Other Cost to Exit an Activity (including Certain Costs Incurred in a Restructuring). This Statement requires that a liability for a cost associated with an exit or disposal activity be recognized when the liability is incurred. Under Issue 94-3, a liability for an exit cost as defined in Issue 94-3 was recognized at the date of an entity's commitment to an exit plan. A fundamental conclusion reached by the Board in this Statement is that an entity's commitment to a plan, by itself, does not create a present obligation to others that meets the definition of a liability. Therefore, this Statement eliminates the definition and requirements for recognition of exit costs in Issue 94-3. This Statement also establishes that fair value is the objective for initial measurement of the liability.  SFAS No. 146 is effective for exit or disposal activities that are initiated after December 31, 2002, with early adoption permitted.  The Company plans to adopt SFAS No. 146 effective January 1, 2003 and expects that it will not have a material impact on its consolidated results of operations and financial position.

Item 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSIONS AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

    Butler International, Inc. (the "Company") is a global provider of technical and professional services. Focused on quality, technology and learning initiatives, Butler delivers leading edge services to its clients, enabling them to adapt and grow in a cost effective way within our ever-changing world.

    The net loss for the quarter was $1.6 million, or $0.16 per diluted share compared with a loss of $4.5 million, or $0.49 per diluted share in the prior year quarter. The current year quarter includes restructuring and other charges of $1.3 million, on a pre-tax basis, reflecting management's continuing efforts to reduce the Company's cost structure. The prior year had also included restructuring and other charges totaling $4.4 million, also on a pre-tax basis. In accordance with current accounting regulations, the 2002 period excluded any charges related to goodwill amortization. That expense in the second quarter of 2001 was $.5 million, net of tax. Therefore, on a pro forma basis, the current year net loss of $1.6 million, or $0.16 per diluted share, would compare with a net loss of $4.0 million or $0.43 per diluted share for 2001.    

    Exclusive of restructuring and other charges in both periods, the net loss for the 2002 quarter was $0.7 million or $0.07 per diluted share, compared with $0.9 million or $0.10 per diluted share reported in the prior year. On a sequential quarter basis, also before charges, the second quarter loss represents an improvement upon the first quarter of 2002 by 35% or $0.4 million. Sales for the current quarter were $68.3 million, down by 31% from last year's $98.3 million, the majority of the decline coming from the Company's Telecom industry clients.

    On a divisional basis, all segments reported increased operating profits over that of this year's first quarter. Similarly, with the exception of Telecommunications Services, each unit improved upon 2001's quarterly results. These results reflect the impact and success of management's cost reduction initiatives. The profitability of project oriented work in the Technical Group increased by 36% over last year's quarter to $1.8 million, Technology Solutions improved its operating profits to $0.8 million from $0.3 million (which included $0.4 million of goodwill amortization) while Fleet Services profitability increased by 19% to $0.7 million. The Telecommunications Services operation remained profitable in the quarter, however its profits declined by 65% to $1.2 million from last year's $3.4 million, more than offsetting the other segments' gains. In a general sense, a reduction in costs resulted in higher margins and decreased overhead, which more than offset lower revenue. Selling , general and administrative expenses were down by 32% in the current year quarter, while interest expense also decreased principally due to reduced borrowings.

    Although each division experienced a volume decrease from prior year levels, Telecommunication industry clientele were the principal drivers of the revenue decline. The Technical Group's project oriented work increased by 33% to $13.8 million in the current year quarter. There has been a pick-up in order activity in Telecommunications Services at the beginning of this year's third quarter. The Company is hopeful that it signals an end to the decline experienced over the last twelve months.

    On a year-to-date basis, exclusive of restructuring, goodwill and other charges, the net loss for the 2002 period was $1.8 million or $0.18 per diluted share, an improvement from the $3.4 million or $0.36 per diluted share reported, on a comparable basis, in the prior year. The current year net loss, inclusive of all charges was $14.8 million, or $1.51 per share, compared with a loss of $6.5 million or $0.71 per diluted share in 2001. The loss includes an impairment charge of $12.3 million, net of tax, related to the carrying value of goodwill in the Company's Technology Solutions business segment and is reported as a cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle. On a pro forma basis, excluding goodwill amortization, the 2001 year-to-date loss was $5.7 million or $0.62 per diluted share. Sales for the six months were $139.8 million, down by 30% from last year's $199.5 million

    Effective January 1, 2002, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets". SFAS No. 142 requires that goodwill and other indefinite lived intangible assets not be amortized, but be tested for impairment at least annually at the reporting unit level. An impairment charge will be recognized only when the implied fair value of a reporting unit, including goodwill, is less than its carrying amount. Accordingly, the Company ceased amortization of all goodwill on January 1, 2002. The application of the non-amortization provisions of SFAS No. 142 is expected to result in additional net income for the year of approximately $1,553,000 or approximately $0.16 per common share.

    SFAS No. 142 provides a six-month transitional period from the effective date of adoption for the Company to perform an assessment of whether there is an indication that goodwill is impaired. To the extent that an indication of impairment exists, the Company must perform a second test to measure the amount of the impairment. The Company determined the implied fair value of each of its reporting units using a discounted cash flow analysis and compared such values to the respective reporting units' carrying amounts. This evaluation indicated that goodwill recorded in the Technology Solutions segment was impaired as of January 1, 2002. The primary factor resulting in the impairment

12


charge was the continuing difficult economic environment in the information technology sector. Accordingly, the Company recognized a non-cash charge of approximately $12,338,000 (net of tax benefit of approximately $1,404,000), recorded as of January 1, 2002, as a cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle for the write-down of goodwill to its fair value. No impairment charge was appropriate under the previous goodwill impairment standard, which was based on undiscounted cash flows.

    Effective January 1, 2002, the Company also adopted SFAS No 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets", which supersedes SFAS No. 121. Though it retains the basic requirements of SFAS No. 121 regarding when and how to measure an impairment loss, SFAS No. 144 provides additional implementation guidance. SFAS No. 144 applies to long-lived assets to be held and used or to be disposed of, including assets under capital leases of lessees; assets subject to operating leases of lessors; and prepaid assets. SFAS No. 144 also expands the scope of a discontinued operation to include a component of an entity, and eliminates the current exemption to consolidation when control over a subsidiary is likely to be temporary. The adoption of SFAS 144 did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated results of operations and financial position.

    In June 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 143, "Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations". This Statement establishes accounting standards for the recognition and measurement of an asset retirement obligation and associated asset retirement cost. It also provides accounting guidance for legal obligations associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets. SFAS No. 143 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2002 with early adoption permitted.  The Company plans to adopt SFAS No. 143 effective January 1, 2003 and expects that it will not have a material impact on its consolidated results of operations and financial position. 

    In April 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS No. 145, Rescission of FASB Statements No. 4, 44, and 64, Amendment of FASB Statement No. 13, and Technical Corrections. Statement 145 rescinds SFAS No. 4, which required all gains and losses from extinguishment of debt to be aggregated and, if material, classified as an extraordinary item, net of related income tax effect. As a result, the criteria in Opinion 30 will now be used to classify those gains and losses. SFAS No. 64 amended SFAS No. 4, and is no longer necessary because SFAS No. 4 has been rescinded. SFAS No. 44 was issued to establish accounting requirements for the effects of transition to the provisions of the Motor Carrier Act of 1980. Because the transition has been completed, SFAS No. 44 is no longer necessary. SFAS No. 145 amends SFAS No. 13 to require that certain lease modifications that have economic effects similar to sale-leaseback transactions should be accounted for in the same manner as sale-leaseback transactions. The provisions of this Statement related to the rescission of SFAS No. 4 are effective for fiscal years beginning after May 15, 2002, and all other provisions of this Statement are effective for financial statements issued on or after May 15, 2002, with early application encouraged. The Company plans to adopt SFAS No. 145 effective January 1, 2003.

    In June 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 146, Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities. This Statement addresses financial accounting and reporting for cost associated with exit or disposal activities and nullifies Emerging Issue Task Force ("EITF") Issue No. 94-3, Liability Recognition for Certain Employee Termination Benefits and Other Cost to Exit an Activity (including Certain Costs Incurred in a Restructuring). This Statement requires that a liability for a cost associated with an exit or disposal activity be recognized when the liability is incurred. Under Issue 94-3, a liability for an exit cost as defined in Issue 94-3 was recognized at the date of an entity's commitment to an exit plan. A fundamental conclusion reached by the Board in this Statement is that an entity's commitment to a plan, by itself, does not create a present obligation to others that meets the definition of a liability. Therefore, this Statement eliminates the definition and requirements for recognition of exit costs in Issue 94-3. This Statement also establishes that fair value is the objective for initial measurement of the liability.  SFAS No. 146 is effective for exit or disposal activities activities that are initiated after December 31, 2002, with early adoption permitted.  The Company plans to adopt SFAS No. 146 effective January1, 2003 and expects that it will not have a material impact on its consolidated results of operations and financial position.

    On July 21, 2002, a significant customer of the Company, Worldcom, Inc. ("WorldCom"), filed for reorganization under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. At the time of the bankruptcy filing, the Company had outstanding receivables due from WorldCom of approximately $700,000. Although it is impossible to predict the outcome of the WorldCom reorganization, management believes that adequate provisions have been made for probable losses with respect thereto and that the outcome, after such provisions, will not have a material adverse effect on the consolidated results of operations or financial position.  Should WorldCom cease operations in the near future, the Company does not expect that the loss of WorldCom related business would have a material impact on the Company's operations.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

    The Company's primary sources of funds are generated from operations and borrowings under its credit facility with General Electric Capital Corporation ("GECC"). Cash provided by operating activities was $9.3 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2002, increase of $1.1 million over the same period in 2001.

    On September 28, 2001, the Company closed on the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement with General Electric Capital Corporation ("GECC"). This three year, $85 million credit facility provides the Company with increased borrowing capacity, which will be used for accommodating future growth. The agreement provides a revolving credit facility for loans up to $47 million, including $9.0 million for letters of credit, Term Loan A for $20 million, and Term Loan B for $18 million. The sum of the aggregate amount of loans outstanding under the revolving credit facility plus the aggregate amount available for letters of credit may not exceed the lesser of (i) $47 million or (ii) an amount equal to 85% of eligible receivables plus 75% of eligible pending receivables. The current interest rate with respect to revolving credit advances is the 30-day Commercial Paper Rate plus three hundred basis points. The current interest rate for Term Loan A is the 30-day Commercial Paper Rate plus three hundred fifty basis points. With respect to Term Loan B, the current interest rate in effect as of June 30, 2002 was the Prime Rate plus three hundred seventy basis points. Term Loan B interest rate will be increased by 15 basis points per month for each month that any balance is outstanding up to 14%, thereafter inc reasing 15 basis points quarterly. Interest rate reductions are available for the revolving credit facility and Term Loan A based upon the Company achieving certain financial results, after repayment of Term Loan B. In connection with the refinancing, the Company will grant warrants to GECC, the aggregate value of which cannot exceed $400,000.

    As of June 30, 2002, $60.6 million was outstanding under the GECC credit facility, with an additional $2.1 million used to collateralize letters of credit compared to $70.3 million outstanding under the GECC credit facility with additional $3 million for letters of credit as December 31, 2001. Proceeds from the credit facility are used to finance internal business growth, working capital and capital expenditures. The credit facility excludes the U.K. operation, which has its own £ 1.5 million facility. As of June 30, 2002, £ 465,194 was outstanding under the U.K. facility.

    The Company has a seven-year mortgage for its corporate office facility. The mortgage consists of a $6.4 million loan that is repayable based upon a 15-year amortization schedule. In 1997, the Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement with its mortgage holder. The Company makes monthly interest payments at the fixed rates of 8.1% on the $6.4 million mortgage loan. The Company receives payments based upon the one month Libor plus 175 basis points.

    The Company is pursuing a refinancing of the mortgage on its corporate office facility. It is also considering entering into a sale-leaseback transaction.  During the quarter, the Company did not meet the fixed charge coverage ratio covenant contained in the mortgage agreement. The Company did receive a waiver from the mortgage holder, however, in exchange for the waiver, among other things, the bank has accelerated the maturity date from November 1, 2004 to September 30, 2002.  As result, the mortgage has been reclassified to current and is included in the current portion of long-term debt on the June 30, 2002 balance sheet.  In response, the Company has received and executed a mortgage offer letter from another institution and is currently in the due diligence phase of the proposed transaction.  The Company expects to close on the new mortgage by September 30, 2002.  Additionally, the Company has also received a sale-leaseback offer for its corporate headquarters facility.

The Company believes that the combination of its operating cash flow and the proceeds from either a refinancing of the mortgage or a closing of a sale-leaseback transaction will provide sufficient liquidity for at least the next twelve months. Should neither the refinancing or sale-leaseback transactions occur, the Company would seek other financing to support its operations

As such, it is based upon certain assumptions and is subject to various risks and uncertainties, which may not be controllable by the Company. To the extent that these assumptions prove to be incorrect, or should any of these risks or uncertainties materialize, the actual results may vary materially from results expressed in, or implied by, this forward-looking statement.

Item 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK

    The Company is exposed to market risk primarily from changes in interest rates, and to a lesser extent, changes in foreign currency rates.

    The Company has a credit agreement with GECC which, provides a revolving credit facility for loans up to $47 million, including $9.0 million for letters of credit, Term Loan A for $20 million and Term Loan B for $18 million. The interest rates in effect at June 30, 2002 were 4.77%, 5.27% and 8.45% on the revolver, Term Loan A and Term Loan B, respectively. During the first six months of 2002, the average interest rate on the revolving credit facility was 4.77% and the average interest rates on the other GECC loans was 6.65%. Interest reductions are available based upon the Company achieving certain financial results after the repayment of Term Loan B.

    From time-to-time the Company has used derivative instruments to limit its exposure to fluctuating interest rates. It is not the Company's policy to use these transactions for speculation purposes. The Company has taken advantage of cash flow hedging activities through the use of interest rate swaps.

    In 1997, the Company entered into interest rate swap arrangement with its mortgage holder. The Company makes monthly interest payments at the fixed rates of 8.1% on the $6.4 million loan. The Company receives payments based upon the one month Libor plus 175 basis points. If the interest rate swap agreement was terminated as of June 30, 2002, the Company would owe its lender an additional $348,666.

    The Company's international operations are directed from offices in the United Kingdom and Hyderabad, India. International operations accounted for approximately 5.1% of the Company's sales for the six months ended June 30, 2002, principally from the United Kingdom. In the six months of 2002, changes in foreign currency rates had an immaterial impact on sales and earnings per share.
