Part I

Item 1.    Description of Business

 

(a) General Development of Business

 

CIBER, Inc. was originally incorporated in Michigan in 1974 and later reincorporated in Delaware in 1993.  CIBER, Inc. and its subsidiaries (generally referred to herein as “we”) provide information technology (IT) system integration consulting and other services and to a lesser extent, resell certain hardware and software products. Our clients consist primarily of Fortune 500 and middle market companies across most major industries and governmental agencies. We operate from branch offices across the United States, plus offices in Canada and Europe. At December 31, 2001, we had approximately 5,000 employees.

 

We began operations in 1974 to assist companies in need of computer programming support. In the mid-1980s, we initiated a growth strategy that included expanding our range of computer-related services, developing a professional sales force and selectively acquiring established complementary companies. Since July 1998 we have completed 22 business combinations, which are more fully described in Notes 3 and 4 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included under item 8 of this Report. We continue to expand and modify our service offerings to address changes in customer demands and rapidly changing technology. In addition, we look to form strategic alliances with select package software and hardware vendors to stay at the leading edge of technology advances, to develop new business and to generate additional revenue.

 

(b) Financial Information about Industry Segments

 

The information required by this item is incorporated herein by reference to Note 20 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included under item 8 of this Report.

 

(c) Narrative Description of Business

 

Services and Operations

 

In the second half of 2001 we reorganized some of our business operations. In 2000, we originally formed DigiTerra and announced our intent to spin off DigiTerra to CIBER shareholders as a separate publicly traded entity.  In 2001, as the result of unfavorable business and market conditions, the plans to spin off DigiTerra were cancelled and DigiTerra significantly refocused and restructured its business making leadership changes, organizational changes and transforming its costs structure.  As part of the DigiTerra reorganization, a new CIBER division named CIBER Enterprise Solutions (CES) was formed.  CES was previously part of DigiTerra, Inc.  In September 2001, we merged the operations of our subsidiary, Waterstone, Inc., into our CIBER branch office operations, suspending its brand and eliminating the related corporate overhead costs.  As a result of the reorganizations in 2001, at December 31, 2001 we have two reportable segments, Custom Solutions and Package Solutions. The Custom Solutions segment primarily includes our CIBER custom branch offices and our CIBER Solution Partners European operations.  Our Package Solutions segment is comprised of our CIBER Enterprise Solutions Division and our subsidiary DigiTerra, Inc.

 

CIBER Custom Solutions

 

Our CIBER custom branch operations provide IT project solutions and IT staffing in custom developed software environments.  Each branch office has local leadership, sales, recruiting and delivery capabilities.  Our branch office network is integral to our business strategy. Through the branch office network, we can (1) offer a broad range of consulting services on a local basis, (2) respond to changing market demands for IT services through a variety of contacts in many industries and geographic areas and (3) maintain a quality professional staff because of our nationwide reputation and our training programs.  Our strategy is to leverage our long-standing staffing relationships to win strategic consulting and/or project solutions and systems integration business.  As we begin 2002, the business mix of CIBER custom branch operations is approximately 40% project solutions and systems integration business and 60% strategic staffing.

The migration toward a more solutions-based business model has resulted from our efforts to (1) create significant thought leadership in leading technologies through our National Practices, (2) establish a consultative sales methodology that enhances our ability to identify, pursue and close solutions-based business, and (3) improve our solutions delivery capability by continuing to refine our project management and delivery methodology.  Our National Practices, which support the local sales and delivery functions, include:

 

        Enterprise Application Integration

        Business Intelligence

        Internet Solutions

        Infrastructure and Security

        Wireless Integration

        Outsourcing

        Managed Services

 

While 70% of our operations are directed at commercial clientele, 30% of our custom branch operations have a focus on state and federal government organizations.  Our State Government Practice has a number of specialty focus areas, including: health and human services; public health; law and justice, and motor vehicles, among others.  Our Federal Government Practice initiatives include: defense/aerospace; outsourcing; human resource and financial management systems; and strategy and enterprise services.

 

Our Custom Solutions reporting segment also includes our CIBER Solution Partners European operations, which are based in Eindhoven, the Netherlands. In 2001 we opened new offices in Germany and Hungary.  Solution Partners provides custom-based solutions on various software platforms as well as SAP and Microsoft implementation consulting and other e-business solutions.

 

CIBER Package Solutions

 

Our CIBER Enterprise Solutions Division (CES) provides consulting services to support software from enterprise solutions vendors including Oracle, PeopleSoft and SAP.  CES supports the Customer Relationship Management (CRM) offerings of these enterprise partners, and in addition, provides services for users of independent CRM software, such as Siebel and Onyx.  CES is an Oracle Certified Solutions Partner, a PeopleSoft Certified Consulting Partner as well as an SAP Services Partner.  CES also has earned corporate-level certification on Internet enabled PeopleSoft Version 8.  CES has vertical expertise in healthcare, higher education, public sector, telecommunications and manufacturing, among others.

 

CIBER Solution Partners UK, based in Oxford, England is a Microsoft Gold Certified Partner delivering a range of enterprise and Internet solutions.

 

DigiTerra, Inc. primarily provides middle-market companies with packaged software assessment, planning and implementation services, with an emphasis on software from J. D. Edwards and Lawson, as well as several Supply Chain Management (SCM) products.  DigiTerra is a J. D. Edwards Consulting Alliance Partner.  DigiTerra’s Technology Solutions Practice helps clients select, configure and design IT platform-related solutions and is an authorized reseller of selected hardware and software products from IBM, Hewlett-Packard, Sun Microsystems and Intermec.

 

Business Combinations

 

We have expanded our geographic breadth, increased our client base and added to our technical expertise and service offerings through business combinations. Given the highly fragmented nature of the IT services industry, we intend to pursue business combinations as part of our growth and operation strategy, including possible international opportunities. The success of this strategy depends not only upon our ability to identify and acquire businesses on a cost-effective basis, but also upon our ability to integrate acquired operations into our organization effectively, to retain and motivate personnel and to retain clients of

acquired or merged companies. In reviewing potential business combinations, we consider the target company’s geographic reach, cultural fit, capabilities in specific technical services, client base, expected financial performance, valuation expectations, and the abilities of management, sales and recruiting personnel, among other factors. From July 1998 to December  2001, we have completed the following business combinations:

Clients

 

Our clients consist primarily of Fortune 500 and middle market companies across most major industries and governmental agencies. These organizations typically have significant IT budgets and/or depend on outside consultants to help achieve their business and IT objectives.

 

In 2001, our approximate percentage of revenue by client industry was:

 

Information technology

 

27

%

Government

 

20

%

Manufacturing

 

17

%

Finance, banking & insurance

 

12

%

Telecommunications

 

8

%

%

%

Certain customers account for a significant portion of our revenues. Our five largest clients represented approximately 16% of our total revenues in 2001 with our largest client accounting for approximately 6% of our revenues. Some of our significant clients include: Boeing; City & County of San Francisco; Commonwealth of Pennsylvania; Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation; Fidelity Investments; Ford; IBM; Lockheed Martin; WorldCom; and Xerox. If any significant client terminates its relationship with us or substantially decreases its use of our services, it could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. We seek to develop long-term relationships with our clients. Although a typical individual client assignment ranges from three months to twelve months in duration, some of our client relationships have continued for more than 10 years.

 

Sales Force

 

We maintain a direct sales force of approximately 200 employees at December 31, 2001 who market our services to senior business executives, chief information officers, information systems managers and others who purchase IT services. New client contacts are generated through a variety of methods, including client referrals, trade shows, personal sales calls and direct mailings to targeted clients.

 

Consultants and Recruiters

 

Our future success depends in part on our ability to hire and retain adequately trained personnel who can address the changing and increasingly sophisticated technology needs of our clients. Our ongoing personnel needs arise from turnover, which is generally high in the industry, and client needs for consultants trained in the newest software and hardware technologies. Few of our employees are bound by non-compete agreements. Historically, competition for personnel in the information technology services industry has been significant. We have had in the past, and expect at some point in the future, to have difficulty attracting and retaining an optimal level of qualified consultants. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in attracting and retaining the personnel we require to conduct and expand our operations successfully. Because of this, the recruitment of skilled consultants is a critical element to our success. We devote significant resources to meeting our personnel requirements. At December 31, 2001, we had approximately 70 full-time recruiters.

 

Competition

 

The IT services industry is extremely competitive and characterized by continuous changes in customer requirements and improvements in technologies. Our competition varies significantly from city to city as well as by the type of service provided.

 

Our principal competitors include: Accenture; American Management Systems; Atos Origin; Cap Gemini Ernst &Young; CMG; IBM Global Services; Keane; and KPMG Consulting. Many large accounting and consulting firms also offer services that overlap with some of our services. Many of our competitors are larger than we are and have greater financial, technical, sales and marketing resources than we do. In addition, we must frequently compete with a client’s own internal information technology staff. We also compete with Internet professional services firms as well as the service divisions of various software developers. There can be no assurance that we will be able to continue to compete successfully with existing or future competitors or that competition will not have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.

 

Employees

 

As of December 31, 2001, we had approximately 5,000 employees. None of our employees are subject to a collective bargaining arrangement. We have employment agreements with our executive officers. We believe our relations with our employees are good.

Item 2.    Properties

 

Our corporate office is located at 5251 DTC Parkway, Suite 1400, Greenwood Village, Colorado 80111, where we have a lease for approximately 38,500 square feet that expires in December 2003. We lease office space at approximately 60 other locations. We believe our facilities are adequate for our current level of operations and that suitable additional or alternative space will be available as needed.

 

Item 3.    Legal Proceedings

 

We are from time to time the subject of lawsuits and other claims and regulatory proceedings arising in the ordinary course of our business. We do not expect any of these matters, individually or in the aggregate, will have a material impact on our financial condition or results of operations.

 

Item 4.    Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders

 

No matters were submitted to a vote of our shareholders during the fourth quarter of 2001.

Our policy is to retain our earnings to support the growth of our business. Accordingly, we have never paid cash dividends on our common stock and have no present plans to do so.  In addition, pursuant to the terms of the Loan and Security Agreement with Wells Fargo Bank dated September 26, 2001, we are prohibited from paying any dividends on our stock.

Notes:

 

                          Effective December 31, 1999, we changed our year end from June 30 to December 31.

                          Other charges for the years ended June 30, 1997 to June 30, 1999 consist of merger costs related to pooling of interests business combinations. During the year ended December 31, 2000, we recorded a goodwill impairment charge of $80,773,000.  In 2000 and 2001 we also incurred certain other charges (see Note 2 to Consolidated Financial Statements).

                          We have completed various acquisitions during the periods presented (see Note 3 to Consolidated Financial Statements).

                          Fiscal 1997 and 1998 amounts have been restated to reflect pooling of interests business combinations that occurred through 1999.

                          Pro forma net income is after a pro forma adjustment to income tax expense resulting from pooling of interests business combinations and is used to calculate earnings per share in those years.

Item 7.    Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

 

The following discussion of the results of operations and financial condition should be read in conjunction with our Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto. With the exception of historical matters and statements of current status, certain matters discussed below are forward-looking statements that involve substantial risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from targets or projected results. Without limiting the foregoing, the words “believes,” “anticipates,” “plans,” “expects” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially are discussed herein under the caption “Factors that May Affect Future Results.” Many of these factors are beyond our ability to predict or control. We disclaim any intent or obligation to update publicly such forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. In addition, as a result of these and other factors, our past financial performance should not be relied on as an indication of future performance.

 

Business and Industry Overview

 

CIBER, Inc. and its subsidiaries provide information technology (“IT”) system integration consulting and other services and to a lesser extent, resell certain hardware and software products.  Our services are offered on a project or strategic staffing basis, in both custom and enterprise resource planning (ERP) package environments, and across all technology platforms, operating systems and infrastructures. Our clients consist primarily of Fortune 500 and middle market companies across most major industries and governmental agencies. We operate from branch offices across the United States, plus offices in Canada and Europe.

 

The market demand for CIBER’s services is heavily dependent on discretionary spending by major corporations in the area of IT.  Due to current macroeconomic conditions, the demand for IT services has been soft compared to prior years.  Beginning in 1998 through the middle of 1999, major corporations spent heavily on IT services in order to prepare their information systems for the potential problems presented by the year 2000 (“Y2K”).  Companies with information systems applications that were not “Y2K compliant” either fixed those systems by re-writing software code or implemented new systems that were Y2K compliant.  CIBER participated in this heavy demand period by providing both Y2K remediation services, re-writing software code to make systems Y2K compliant, and by providing ERP implementation services, implementing new systems that were Y2K compliant.

 

After this period of spending on Y2K compliance, existing major corporations and well funded startup entities spent heavily on systems that supported the conduct of business over the Internet. For major corporations this spending on “ebusiness initiatives” was, in part, a defensive tactic against new businesses entering the market.  These new “dot.com” business entities, raised a great deal of money in both the private and public equity markets and used a significant portion of those proceeds on information systems to support their new business models.

 

Along with these dot.com businesses came Internet consultancies that provided information technology services to support the ebusiness initiatives of both new dot.com business entities and existing corporations wanting to conduct business over the Internet.  Several of these Internet consultancies were successful raising capital in the public equity markets and were also successful gaining acceptance as experts in the newer Internet technologies.  As a consequence, a disproportionate share of the dollars spent on ebusiness initiatives by both new dot.coms and existing corporations went to these new Internet consultancies, at the expense of firms such as CIBER, who had the expertise but not the reputation for delivering solutions in the newer Internet technologies.

 

Beginning in the latter part of 2000 and into 2001, many of these dot.com entities exhausted the capital raised in the equity markets, were not able to raise additional capital, and did not have a cash flow stream to support their businesses as going concerns.  Consequently, many of these firms went out of business, and the threat of these dot.coms to traditional business models waned, negatively impacting IT spending on ebusiness initiatives.  As dot.com entities began failing and IT spending declined, many of the new Internet

consultancies that entered the market failed as well, making the competitive landscape less crowded for well established firms such as CIBER.

 

While the failure of many Internet consultancies was competitively beneficial to CIBER, by the middle of 2001 the U.S. economy was in recession and major corporations further curtailed discretionary IT spending.  As we enter 2002, we are hopeful that the U.S. economic recession will be short lived, and that spending on IT initiatives will grow at normal historical rates.  In that event, we believe that CIBER is competitively well positioned due to our strong long-term client relationships, our comprehensive service offerings and our competitive rate structure, among other factors.

 

Business Combinations

 

We have completed 22 business combinations since July 1998.  For purposes of this report, the term “acquisition” refers to business combinations accounted for as a purchase and the term “merger” refers to business combinations accounted for as a pooling of interests.  Our consolidated financial statements include the results of operations of an acquired business since the date of acquisition. Mergers result in a one-time charge for costs associated with completing the business combination. Unless the effects are immaterial, our consolidated financial statements are restated for all periods prior to a merger to include the results of operations, financial position and cash flows of the merged company. We completed six business combinations in 2001, one in 2000, five during the six months ended December 31, 1999 and ten business combinations during the year ended June 30, 1999.

In July 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 141, “Business Combinations” and SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.”  SFAS 141 requires all business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001 to be accounted for using the purchase method and specifies the criteria for recording intangible assets separate from goodwill.  Under SFAS 142, goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives will no longer be amortized, but instead will be reviewed annually (or more frequently as impairment indicators arise) for impairment. Separate intangible assets that do not have indefinite lives will continue to be amortized over their useful lives.  The non-amortization and amortization provisions of SFAS 142 are effective for goodwill and intangible assets acquired after June 30, 2001.  As a result, we will not record any amortization of goodwill related to the acquisitions of Century Computer Consultants, Inc., Aris Corporation and Metamor Industry Solutions Inc. during the last four months of 2001.  With respect to goodwill and intangible assets acquired prior to July 1, 2001, we will adopt SFAS 142 effective January 1, 2002.  We expect the adoption of these accounting standards will result in a reduction of our amortization of goodwill commencing January 1, 2002, however, periodic impairment reviews may result in future write-downs.

 

Reporting Segments

 

In the second half of 2001 we reorganized some of our business operations.   In 2000, we originally formed DigiTerra and announced our intent to spin off DigiTerra to CIBER shareholders as a separate publicly traded entity.  In 2001, as the result of unfavorable business and market conditions, the plans to spin off DigiTerra were cancelled and DigiTerra significantly refocused and restructured its business making leadership changes, organizational changes and transforming its costs structure. Most of the overhead that was established to support DigiTerra as a separate independent entity was eliminated late in 2001.  As part of the DigiTerra reorganization, a new CIBER division named CIBER Enterprise Solutions (CES) was formed.  CES provides consulting services to support enterprise software of vendors such as Oracle, PeopleSoft and SAP as well as customer relationship software such as Siebel and Onyx.   DigiTerra provides middle-market companies with package software services, specializing in software from J. D. Edwards and Lawson, as well as supply chain services and hardware-related technology solutions.

 

In September 2001, we merged the operations of our subsidiary, Waterstone, Inc., into our CIBER branch office operations, suspending its brand and eliminating the related corporate overhead costs.

As a result of the reorganizations in 2001, at December 31, 2001 we have two reportable segments, Custom Solutions and Package Solutions. The Custom Solutions segment primarily includes our CIBER custom branch offices and our CIBER Solution Partners European operations.  Our Package Solutions segment is comprised of our CIBER Enterprise Solutions Division and our subsidiary DigiTerra, Inc.  Prior year segment information has been restated to conform to the current year presentation.

Year Ended December 31, 2001 as Compared to Year Ended December 31, 2000

 

Total revenues decreased 10% to $558.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2001 from $621.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2000. This represents a 10% decrease in consulting services revenues and an 8% decrease in other revenues. Other revenues decreased to $32.3 million in 2001 from $35.1 million in 2000 due to decreased hardware sales. Custom Solutions revenues decreased 9% while Package Solutions revenues decreased 16%, when compared to last year. Custom Solutions accounted for approximately 78% of revenues in 2001 compared to 77% in 2000.

 

Delayed starts to new projects and increased competition have created a very challenging IT service marketplace in 2001.  The decrease in revenues is primarily attributable to a decrease in billable consultants during the first half of the year, partially off-set by the addition of approximately 960 consultants as a result of our acquisitions of Century Computer Consultants, Inc., Aris Corporation and Metamor Industry Solutions Inc. during the last four months of the year.  Average billing rates remained consistent with the prior year.

Gross margin percentage decreased to 30.7% of revenues in 2001 from 32.1% of revenues in 2000. This decrease is due to declining gross margins on consulting services offset partially by improved gross margins on other revenues. Consulting services gross margins declined primarily due to a decrease in the utilization levels of our consultants as well as increased consultant costs. Custom Solutions gross margin on consulting services declined to 28.7% in 2001 from 30.4% in 2000, while Package Solutions consulting gross margin declined to 34.5% in 2001 from 34.7% in 2000. Gross margin percentage on other revenues increased due to decreased sales of lower margin computer hardware products.

 

Selling, general and administrative expenses (“SG&A”) decreased to $153.7 million in 2001 from $158.6 million in 2000, while as a percentage of sales, SG&A increased to 27.5% in 2001 from 25.5% in 2000. This reflects the semi-fixed nature of SG&A and the decline in revenues.  In September 2001, we merged the operations of our subsidiary, Waterstone, Inc., into our Custom Solutions operations, suspending its brand and eliminating the related corporate overhead costs.  Beginning in mid-2000, in connection with our planned spin-off of DigiTerra, we developed a corporate overhead structure for DigiTerra to prepare it to be an independent entity.  We reorganized DigiTerra’s operations in the second half of 2001 and eliminated a large part of its corporate overhead costs.  As our focus continues to shift to more solutions-oriented and project work, SG&A is expected to increase as a percentage of sales and partially offset the expected higher gross margins on such work.

 

Income from operations before amortization and other charges (which is how we internally measure our operations) decreased to $17.8 million (3.2% of revenues) for 2001 from $40.9 million (6.6% of revenues) in 2000.

 

Amortization of intangible assets decreased to $12.2 million in 2001 from $14.0 million in 2000. This decrease was primarily due to the effects of the goodwill write-down in the September 2000 quarter.

 

Other charges of $3.1 million were incurred in 2001.  These charges are comprised of  $1.8 million of severance costs and $1.3 million of office closure costs.  In connection with our reorganization of our DigiTerra and Waterstone subsidiaries, during the fourth quarter of 2001, we incurred severance costs related to certain executive management positions that were eliminated.  In addition, during 2001 we incurred charges related to losses on excess office space that we have sub-leased to other parties.  During the quarter ended September 30, 2000, we recorded a goodwill impairment charge of $80.8 million to write-down the goodwill associated with certain acquisitions. This charge represents the amount required to write-down the goodwill to our best estimate of the future discounted cash flows of these operations. In addition in 2000, we incurred $1.3 million of severance costs resulting from involuntary terminations related to personnel realignment, $975,000 for an asset write-down, and $720,000 of professional fees resulting from our planned spin-off of DigiTerra. In 2001, as the result of changes in market and business conditions, the plans to spin-off DigiTerra were cancelled.

 

Net other income, including interest income and interest expense, decreased to $261,000 in 2001 from $1.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2000. Other income includes $2,000 and $504,000 in 2001 and 2000, respectively, from gains on sales of investments. Interest income and expense fluctuates based on our average cash balance invested or amounts borrowed under our line of credit.  In addition, in connection with our acquisition of Metamor in October 2001, we borrowed under our line of credit.

 

Tax expense was $1.2 million in 2001 as compared to $10.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2000.  Tax expense was recorded for the year ended December 31, 2000, even though pre-tax loss was reported, because most of the goodwill impairment charge was not deductible for income tax purposes since the majority of the impaired goodwill related to non-taxable acquisitions.  Our effective tax rate for the year ended December 31, 2001 was 41.1% compared to 50.8% (excluding the effects of the goodwill impairment charge) in 2000.  The decrease in our effective tax rate in 2001, results from a $1.4 million federal and state tax benefit from adjusting our prior years estimate tax liability to actual amounts upon completion of our tax returns.

 

Net income was $1.7 million in 2001 as compared to a net loss of $66.8 million in 2000.

Year Ended December 31, 2000 as Compared to Year Ended December 31, 1999

 

Total revenues decreased 16% to $621.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2000 from $741.9 million for the year ended December 31, 1999. This represents a 16% decrease in consulting services revenues and a decrease in other revenues. Other revenues decreased to $35.1 million in 2000 from $43.6 in 1999 due to decreased hardware sales and reduced software revenues. Custom Solutions revenues decreased 13% while Package Solutions revenues decreased 23%, when compared to the prior year. Custom Solutions accounted for approximately 77% of revenues in 2000 compared to 74% in 1999.

 

During 2000, there continued to be an industry-wide shift in IT spending, principally resulting from the resolution of the Y2K issue and ERP curtailments. Many companies reduced IT expenditures beginning mid-1999 due to completion of Y2K and ERP specific projects and a general tendency to minimize new IT initiatives during the end of 1999. This adversely impacted us, particularly in our mainframe staffing and ERP related service offerings. There was a significant industry trend toward new IT services driven by the Internet and increased bandwidth availability. These new services include web-designed, e-business technologies, customer relationship management (“CRM”) and supply chain software, and wireless integration, among others. We have focused more of our efforts to deliver these newer IT services. These efforts include new alliances with independent software vendors, such as Commerce One and Siebel, and the realignment of our professional and sales personnel toward a greater focus on new technology services. In addition, commencing in the Spring of 2000, the IT services industry was negatively impacted by the shift in investor sentiment away from development and early stage dot.com businesses. As a result, industry demand for IT services by dot.com companies decreased significantly. This has led to greater competition within the IT services industry.

 

Gross margin percentage decreased to 32.1% of revenues in 2000 from 34.6% of revenues in 1999. This decrease is due to declining gross margins on consulting services offset partially by improved gross margins on other revenues. Consulting services gross margins declined primarily due to a decrease in the utilization levels of professional staff. Custom Solutions gross margin on consulting services declined to 30.4% in 2000 from 30.9% in 1999, while Package Solutions consulting gross margin declined to 34.7% in 2000 from 44.1% in 1999. Gross margin percentage on other revenues increased due to decreased sales of lower margin computer hardware products.

 

Selling, general and administrative expenses (“SG&A”) decreased to $158.6 million in 2000 from $167.6 million in 1999, while as a percentage of sales, SG&A increased to 25.5% for the year ended December 31, 2000 from 22.6% in 1999. This reflects the semi-fixed nature of SG&A. We also incurred additional SG&A in 2000 related to new marketing and branding initiatives as well as costs to prepare for DigiTerra (which we formed in April 2000) to be a stand-alone entity.

 

Income from operations before amortization and other charges (which is how we internally measure our operations) decreased to $40.9 million (6.6% of revenues) in 2000 from $88.8 million (12.0% of revenues) in 1999.

 

Amortization of intangible assets increased to $14.0 million in 2000 from $12.1 million in 1999. This increase was due to the additional intangible assets resulting from acquisitions, partially offset by the effects of the goodwill write-down in the September 2000 quarter.

 

Other charges of $83.8 million were incurred in 2000.  We recorded a goodwill impairment charge of $80.8 million during the quarter ended September 30, 2000 to write-down the goodwill associated with certain acquisitions. This charge represents the amount required to write-down the goodwill to our best estimate of the future discounted cash flows of these operations. In addition, we incurred charges of $1.3 million for severance costs resulting from involuntary terminations related to personnel realignment, $975,000 for an asset write-down, and $720,000 of professional fees resulting from our planned spinoff of DigiTerra.

 

Net other income, including interest income and interest expense, decreased to $1.0 million in 2000 from $2.8 million in 1999. Other income in 2000 includes gains of $504,000 from sales of investments and other income in 1999 includes a gain of $827,000 on the sale of our LogisticsPRO software business.  The fluctuations in interest income and expense are the result of changes in our average cash balance invested or amounts borrowed under our line of credit.

Tax expense of $10.9 million was recorded in 2000 even though a pre-tax loss was reported. Tax expense was recorded for the year ended December 31, 2000 because most of the goodwill impairment charge was not deductible for income tax purposes since the majority of the impaired goodwill related to non-taxable acquisitions. Excluding the effects of the goodwill impairment charge, our effective tax rate would have been approximately 50.8% in 2000 as compared to 41.2% in 1999. Tax expense for 2000 also reflects the effects of increased non-deductible goodwill amortization, increased other non-deductible expenses and increased state income taxes.

 

Our net loss was $66.8 million in 2000 as compared to net income of $46.7 million in 1999.

 

Six Months Ended December 31, 1999 as Compared to Six Months Ended December 31, 1998

 

Our total revenues increased 7% to $362.0 million for the six months ended December 31, 1999 from $339.7 million for the six months ended December 31, 1998. This represents a 13% increase in consulting services revenues offset by a decrease in other revenues, primarily sales of computer hardware products. Other revenues decreased to $20.9 million for the six months ended December 31, 1999 from $36.6 million for the same period of 1998. The increase in consulting services revenues was primarily due to additional revenues from acquisitions.  Custom Solutions revenues remained consistent, while Package Solutions revenues increased 27%. Custom Solutions revenues decreased to approximately 74% of total revenues for the six months ended December 31, 1999 from 79% in the same period of 1998.

 

Gross margin percentage decreased to 33.1% of revenues for the six months ended December 31, 1999 from 35.3% of revenues for the same period of 1998. This decrease was due to declining gross margins on consulting services offset by improved gross margins on other revenues. Consulting services gross margins declined primarily due to a decrease in the utilization levels of professional staff. Custom Solutions gross margin on consulting services declined to 29.6% for the six months ending December 31, 1999 from 33.0% for the same period of 1998, while Package Solutions consulting gross margin declined to 41.5% from 46.1% for the same period of 1998. Gross margin on other revenues increased due to decreased sales of lower margin computer hardware products.

 

Selling, general and administrative expenses were 23.2% of revenues for the six months ended December 31, 1999 compared to 21.9% of revenues for the same period of 1998. This increase was due primarily to additional costs incurred for new programs implemented to position us for future growth, including the addition of senior and executive management team members, branding and marketing initiatives, and internal systems development.

 

Income from operations before amortization and other charges decreased to $36.0 million (9.9% of revenues) for the six months ended December 31, 1999 from $45.6 million (13.4% of revenues) for the same period of 1998.

 

Amortization of intangible assets increased to $6.8 million for the six months ended December 31, 1999 from $2.2 million for the same period of 1998. This increase was due to the additional intangible assets resulting from acquisitions.

 

No other charges were incurred during the six months ended December 31, 1999, while merger costs of $1.5 million, primarily transaction related broker and professional costs related to pooling of interests business combinations, were incurred during the six months ended December 31, 1998.

 

Interest income decreased to $920,000 for the six months ended December 31, 1999 from $1.3 million for the same period of 1998 due to decreased average cash balances available for investment. Interest expense was $190,000 for the six months ended December 31, 1999, while no interest expense was incurred during the same period of 1998. This increase was due to borrowings under our line of credit during the six months ended December 31, 1999. Included in other income for the six months ended December 31, 1999 is an $827,000 gain on the sale of our LogisticsPRO software business.

Our effective tax rate for the six months ended December 31, 1999 was 42.6% compared to 41.2% for the same period of 1998. Our effective tax rate for the six months ended December 31, 1999 increased due to increased nondeductible amortization resulting from certain acquisitions.

 

Net income was $17.6 million for the six months ended December 31, 1999 as compared to $25.4 million for the same period of 1998.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

At December 31, 2001, we had $101.9 million of working capital and a current ratio of 2.7:1. We believe that our cash and cash equivalents, our operating cash flow and our available line of credit will be sufficient to finance our working capital needs through at least the next year.

 

Our Board of Directors has authorized the repurchase of up to 6,888,591 shares of our common stock. As of December 31, 2001, we have purchased 6,735,000 shares for $71.5 million under this program. We may use significant amounts of cash for the repurchase of our stock or to acquire other businesses. As a result, we may borrow to finance such activities.

 

Net cash provided by operating activities was $63.4 million in fiscal 1999, $28.7 million for the six months ended December 31, 1999, and $62.9 million, $36.5 million and $26.4 million for the years ended December 31, 1999, 2000 and 2001, respectively. The decrease in 2001 primarily reflects reduced income, compared to 2000, excluding the non-cash goodwill impairment charge. Accounts receivable totaled $135.3 million at December 31, 2001 compared to $127.2 million at December 31, 2000. Total Accounts receivable days sales outstanding (“DSO”) was 82 days at December 31, 2001.

 

Net cash used in investing activities was $40.5 million in fiscal 1999, $67.3 million for the six months ended December 31, 1999, and $99.3 million, $11.2 million and $49.7 million during the years ended December 31, 1999, 2000 and 2001, respectively. We used cash for acquisitions of $26.5 million during fiscal 1999, $60.1 million during the six months ended December 31, 1999, and $82.5 million, $16.2 million and $50.0 million during the years ended December 31, 1999, 2000 and 2001, respectively. In 2001, we received $5.8 million for the sale of a building acquired through our acquisition of Aris. We purchased property and equipment of $14.0 million during fiscal 1999, $7.2 million during the six months ended December 31, 1999, and $16.8 million, $8.5 million and $6.0 million during the years ended December 31, 1999, 2000 and 2001, respectively. Purchases of property and equipment have decreased in 2001 because of the significant number of assets acquired though acquisitions.

 

Net cash provided by (used in) financing activities was $1.8 million in fiscal 1999, ($20.5 million) in the six months ended December 31, 1999, and ($22.9 million), $8.9 million, and $13.8 million during the years ended December 31, 1999, 2000 and 2001, respectively. We obtained net cash proceeds from employee stock purchases and options exercised of $14.8 million in fiscal 1999, $10.9 million in the six months ended December 31, 1999, and $19.7 million, $10.9 million and $6.9 million during the years ended December 31, 1999, 2000 and 2001, respectively. We purchased 706,000 shares of treasury stock for $13.0 million during fiscal 1999, 2,255,000 shares for $36.7 million during the six months ended December 31, 1999, 2,860,000 shares for $47.9 million, 1,925,000 shares for $14.1 million and 2,055,000 shares for $12.0 million during the years ended December 31, 1999, 2000 and 2001, respectively. We have reissued some of the treasury shares under our stock plans and in connection with acquisitions.

 

We have a $37.5 million reducing revolving line of credit with a bank. At the end of each calendar quarter the maximum available borrowing under this line of credit is reduced by $2.5 million.  There was $18,634,000 outstanding under this line of credit at December 31, 2001.  Outstanding Borrowings bear interest based on the bank’s prime rate and ranges from prime minus 0.20% to prime less 0.70%, depending on our ratio of indebtedness to earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. At December 31, 2001, the bank’s prime rate was 4.75% and our rate on borrowing was 4.05%. We are also required to pay a fee of 0.125% per annum on the unused portion of the line of credit.  The credit agreement expires on September 30, 2004.

 

15



 

Seasonality

 

We experience a moderate amount of seasonality. Typically, operating income as a percentage of revenues is lowest in the fourth quarter of each calendar year because more holidays and vacations are taken at that time of year resulting in fewer hours billed in that period.

 

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

 

Our discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations is based on our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States.  The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent liabilities and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses. On an on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates including those related to the collectibility of accounts receivable, costs to complete fixed-priced projects, the realizability of goodwill, income taxes, certain accrued liabilities and contingencies and litigation. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

We believe the following critical accounting policies affect the significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements. We maintain an allowance for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from customers failing to pay amounts we have billed them.  If the financial condition of our customers were to deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments or if customers were to express dissatisfaction with the services we have provided, additional allowances may be required.  We recognize revenue on fixed-priced contracts using the percentage of completion method, which relies on estimates of total expected contract revenues and costs. The cumulative impact of any revisions in estimated revenues and costs are recognized in the period in which the facts that give rise to the revision become known.  We assess the impairment of goodwill whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable.  Conditions that may trigger an impairment assessment include a history of operating losses of the related business, a significant reduction in the revenues of the related business, and a loss of a major customer, our market capitalization relative to net book value, among others. An impairment would be considered to exist when the estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to result from the use of the intangible asset are less than the carrying amount of the asset. Considerable management judgment is necessary to estimate future cash flows.  To record income tax expense, we are required to estimate our income taxes in each of the jurisdictions in which we operate.  This involves estimating our actual current tax exposure together with assessing temporary differences that result in deferred tax assets and liabilities and expected future tax rates.  We record a valuation allowance to reduce our deferred tax assets to an amount we believe is more likely than not to be realized.  We consider future taxable income and prudent and feasible tax planning strategies in assessing the need for a valuation allowance.  If we subsequently determine that we will realize more or less of our net deferred tax assets in the future, such adjustment would be recorded as an increase or reduction of income tax expense in the period such determination is made.

 

Factors that May Affect Future Results

 

Included in this Report and elsewhere from time to time in other written reports and oral statements, including but not limited to, the Annual Report to Shareholders, quarterly shareholder letters, news releases and investor presentations, are forward-looking statements about our business strategies, market potential, future financial performance and other matters which reflect our current expectations. Without limiting the foregoing, the words “believes,” “anticipates,” “plans,” “expects” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. We disclaim any intent or obligation to update publicly such forward-

looking statements. Actual results may differ materially from those projected in any such forward-looking statements due to a number of factors, including, without limitation, those set forth below.

 

We operate in a dynamic and rapidly changing environment that involves numerous risks and uncertainties. The following section lists some, but not all, of the risks and uncertainties that may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and the market price of our common stock.

 

Growth Through Business Combinations and Internal Expansion -- As an integral part of our business strategy, we intend to continue to expand by acquiring information technology businesses. We regularly evaluate potential business combinations and aggressively pursue attractive transactions. Since July 1998, we have completed 22 business combinations. The success of this strategy depends not only upon our ability to identify and acquire businesses on a cost-effective basis, but also upon our ability to successfully integrate the acquired business with our organization and culture. Business combinations involve numerous risks, including: the ability to manage geographically remote operations; the diversion of management’s attention from other business concerns; risks of losing clients and employees of the acquired business; and the risks of entering markets in which we have limited or no direct experience. There can be no assurance we will be able to acquire additional business, or that any business combination will result in benefits to us. In addition, we may open new offices in attractive markets with our own personnel. Many of our branch offices were originally start-up operations. Not all branch offices, whether start-up or acquired, have been successful. There can be no assurances that we will be able to successfully start up, identify, acquire, or integrate future successful branch office operations.

 

Ability to Attract and Retain Qualified Consultants — Our future success depends in part on our ability to attract and retain adequately trained personnel who can address the changing and increasingly sophisticated technology needs of our clients. Our ongoing personnel needs arise from turnover, which is generally high in the industry, and client needs for consultants trained in the newest software and hardware technologies. Few of our employees are bound by non-compete agreements. Competition for personnel in the information technology services industry is significant. We have had, and expect to continue to have, difficulty in attracting and retaining an optimal level of qualified consultants. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in attracting and retaining the personnel we require to conduct and expand our operations successfully.

 

Dependence on Significant Relationships and the Absence of Long-Term Contracts — Our five largest clients accounted for 16% of our revenues in 2001 with our largest client accounting for 6% of revenues. We strive to develop long-term relationships with our clients. Most individual client assignments are from three to twelve months, however, many of our client relationships have continued for many years. Although they may be subject to penalty provisions, clients may generally cancel a contract at any time. In addition, under many contracts, clients may reduce their use of our services under such contract without penalty. If any significant client terminates its relationship with us or substantially decreases its use of our services, it could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Additionally, we have a significant relationship with PeopleSoft as an implementation partner. Approximately 8% of our revenues are from services related to PeopleSoft software. In the event PeopleSoft products become obsolete or non-competitive, or if we should lose our “implementation partner” status with PeopleSoft, we could suffer a material adverse effect. We have other similar relationships and strategic alliances with other technology vendors. The sudden loss of any significant relationship or substantial decline in demand for their products could also adversely affect us.

 

Management of a Rapidly Changing Business — Our market is characterized by rapidly changing technologies, such as the evolution of the Internet, frequent new product and service introductions and evolving industry standards. If we cannot keep pace with these changes, our business could suffer. Our success depends, in part, on our ability to develop service offerings that keep pace with continuing changes in technology, evolving industry standards and changing client preferences. Our success will also depend on our ability to develop and implement ideas for the successful application of existing and new technologies. We may not be successful in addressing these developments on a timely basis or our ideas may not be successful in the marketplace. Products and technologies developed by our competitors may also make our services or product offerings less competitive or obsolete.

Project Risks — We provide and intend to continue to provide project services to our clients. Projects are distinguishable from CIBER’s professional services staff supplementation contracts by the level of responsibility we assume. With professional services staff supplementation contracts, our clients generally maintain responsibility for the overall tasks. In a typical project, we assume major responsibilities for the management of the project and/or the design and implementation of specific deliverables based upon client-defined requirements. As our project engagements become larger and more complex and often must be completed in shorter time frames, it becomes more difficult to manage the project and the likelihood of any mistake increases. In addition, our projects often involve applications that are critical to our client’s business. Our failure to timely and successfully complete a project and meet our client’s expectations could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations or financial condition. Such adverse effects may include delayed or lost revenues, additional services being provided at no charge and a negative impact to our reputation. In addition, claims for damages may be brought against us, regardless of our responsibility, and our insurance may not be adequate to cover such claims. Our contracts generally limit our liability for damages that may arise in rendering our services. However, we cannot be sure these contractual provisions will successfully protect us from liability if we are sued.  We sometimes undertake projects on a fixed-fee basis or cap the amount of fees we may bill on a time and materials basis. Any increased or unexpected costs or unanticipated delays could make such projects less profitable or unprofitable and could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

 

Competition — We operate in a highly competitive industry. We believe that we currently compete principally with IT and Internet professional services firms, technology vendors and internal information systems groups. Many of the companies that provide services in our markets have significantly greater financial, technical and marketing resources than we do. In addition, there are relatively few barriers to entry into our markets and we have faced, and expect to continue to face, competition from new entrants into our markets. There can be no assurance that we will be able to continue to compete successfully with existing or future competitors or that competition will not have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

 

Internet Growth and Usage — Our business is dependent in part upon continued growth of the use of the Internet by our clients and prospective clients as well as their customers and suppliers. If Internet usage and commerce conducted over the Internet does not continue to grow, the demand for our services may decrease and, as a result, our revenues would decline. Capacity constraints of the Internet, unless resolved, could impede further growth of Internet usage. In addition, any laws and regulations relating to the Internet that are adopted by governments in the United States or abroad that could reduce growth or usage of the Internet as a commercial medium may impact our business. We cannot predict how any such government regulations may affect our business. However, if such regulations were to result in a decrease in the demand for our services, they could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

 

International Expansion — We expect to expand our international operations. We currently have offices in five foreign countries: Canada, Germany, Hungary, the Netherlands and the United Kingdom.  Our foreign operations accounted for 3% of our 2001 revenues. We have limited experience in marketing, selling and providing our services internationally. International operations are subject to political and economic uncertainties, fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates and new tax and legal requirements. Other risks inherent in international operations include managing geographically distant locations and customers, employees speaking different languages and different cultural approaches to the conduct of business. If any of these risks materialize, they could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

 

Potential Fluctuations in Quarterly Operating Results — Our quarterly operating results may fluctuate significantly in the future as a result of a variety of factors, many of which are outside our control. Factors that may affect our quarterly revenues or operating results generally include: costs relating to the expansion of our business; the extent and timing of business acquisitions; our ability to obtain new and follow-up on client engagements; the timing of assignments from customers; our consultant utilization rate (including

 

18



 

our ability to transition employees quickly from completed assignments to new engagements); the seasonal nature of our business due to variations in holidays and vacation schedules; the introduction of new services by us or our competitors; price competition or price changes; and our ability to manage costs and economic and financial conditions specific to our clients. Quarterly sales and operating results can be difficult to forecast, even in the short term. Due to all of the foregoing factors, it is possible that our revenues or operating results in one or more future quarters will fail to meet or exceed the expectations of security analysts or investors. In such event, the price of our common stock would likely be materially adversely affected.

 

Price Volatility — The market price of our common stock could be subject to significant fluctuations in response to: variations in quarterly operating results; changes in earnings estimates by securities analysts; any differences between our reported results and securities analysts’ expectations; general economic, financial and other factors; and market conditions that can affect the capital markets. In addition, reaction to announcements made by us or by our competitors, such as new contracts or service offerings, acquisitions or strategic investments may impact our stock price.

 

Item 7A.    Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

 

We are exposed to market risks from foreign currency fluctuations and changes in interest rates on any borrowings we may have. We currently do not use derivative financial or commodity instruments.

 

Foreign Exchange. We are exposed to foreign exchange rate fluctuations as the financial results of our foreign operations are translated into U.S. dollars in consolidation. As exchange rates vary, these results, when translated, may vary from expectations and adversely impact our financial position or results of operations. During the year ended December 31, 2001, approximately 3% of our total revenue was attributable to foreign operations. CIBER does not enter into forward exchange contracts as a hedge against foreign currency exchange risk on transactions denominated in foreign currencies or for speculative or trading purposes. We believe that our exposure to foreign currency exchange risk at December 31, 2001 is not material.

 

Interest Rates. We have a $37.5 million reducing revolving line of credit with a bank. There was $18,634,000 outstanding under this bank line of credit at December 31, 2001. The interest rate on the line of credit is based on the bank’s prime rate and ranges from prime minus 0.20% to prime less 0.70%, depending on our ratio of indebtedness to earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization.  Therefore, as Prime fluctuates, we would experience changes in interest expense related to any outstanding borrowings.

Item 8.    Financial Statements and Supplementary Data

 

Independent Auditors’ Report

 

The Board of Directors and Shareholders

CIBER, Inc.:

 

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of CIBER, Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2000 and 2001, and the related consolidated statements of operations, shareholders’ equity and cash flows for the year ended June 30, 1999, the six-month period ended December 31, 1999 and each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2001. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.

 

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of CIBER, Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2000 and 2001, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the year ended June 30, 1999, the six-month period ended December 31, 1999 and each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2001, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

As discussed in note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, effective July 1, 2001, CIBER, Inc. adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 141, “Business Combinations,” and certain provisions of SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets,” as required for goodwill and intangible assets resulting from business combinations consummated after June 30, 2001.

CIBER, Inc. and Subsidiaries

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

 

(1) Nature of Operations and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

(a) Nature of Operations

 

CIBER, Inc. and its subsidiaries provide information technology (IT) system integration consulting and other services and to a lesser extent, resell certain hardware and software products. Our services are offered on a project or strategic staffing basis, in both custom and ERP package environments, and across all technology platforms, operating systems and infrastructures. Our clients consist primarily of Fortune 500 and middle market companies across most major industries and governmental agencies. We operate from branch offices across the United States, plus offices in Canada and Europe.

 

(b) Principles of Consolidation

 

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of CIBER, Inc. and all wholly-owned and majority-owned subsidiaries. All material intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.

 

(c) Estimates

 

The preparation of these financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent liabilities and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses. On an on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates including those related to the collectibility of accounts receivable, costs to complete fixed-priced projects, the realizability of goodwill, income taxes, certain accrued liabilities and contingencies and litigation. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

(d) Change in Fiscal Year End

 

We changed our year end to December 31 from June 30, effective December 31, 1999.

 

(e) Cash Equivalents

 

Cash equivalents represents funds temporarily invested with original maturities of three months or less.

 

(f) Investments in Marketable Securities

 

Investments in marketable equity securities are classified as available-for-sale and are recorded at fair market value, which is determined based on quoted market prices. Investments in marketable securities are included in prepaid expenses and other current assets on the consolidated balance sheet. The unrealized gain or loss, net of tax, is included in accumulated other comprehensive loss on the consolidated balance sheet. Realized gains and losses on the sale of investments are based on average cost and are included in other income in the consolidated statements of operations.

 

(g) Property and Equipment

 

Property and equipment, which consists of computer equipment, and software, furniture and leasehold improvements, is stated at cost. Depreciation is computed using straight-line and accelerated methods over the estimated useful lives, ranging primarily from three to seven years.  Direct costs of time and material incurred for the development of software for internal use are capitalized as property and equipment. These costs are depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the software, ranging from three to seven years.

 

25



 

(h) Intangible Assets and Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

Intangible assets consist of goodwill and noncompete agreements. Goodwill acquired prior to July 1, 2001 is amortized over 6 to 20 years. Goodwill acquired after June 30, 2001 is not amortized.  Noncompete agreements are amortized over the terms of the contracts, which range from one to three years. Amortization is recorded using the straight-line method.

 

Intangible assets are reviewed for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of intangible assets may not be recoverable. Conditions that may trigger an impairment assessment include a history of operating losses of the related business, a significant reduction in the revenues of the related business, and a loss of a major customer, our market capitalization relative to net book value, among others. An impairment would be considered to exist when the estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to result from the use of the intangible asset are less than the carrying amount of the asset. Future cash flows are estimated at the lowest business unit level that includes all of the operations that directly benefit from the intangible asset. This level may be a practice, branch office, region or subsidiary. If the acquired business has been fully integrated into operations, enterprise-wide goodwill would be evaluated at the consolidated level. Estimated cash flows at the business unit level are net of taxes and do not include any allocation of interest or other corporate level items. Impairment, if any, is measured based on forecasted future discounted operating cash flows. Considerable management judgment is necessary to estimate future cash flows. Accordingly, actual results could vary significantly.

 

In July 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 141, “Business Combinations” and SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.”  SFAS 141 requires all business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001 to be accounted for using the purchase method and specifies the criteria for recording intangible assets separate from goodwill.  Under SFAS 142, goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives will no longer be amortized, but instead will be reviewed annually (or more frequently as impairment indicators arise) for impairment. Separate intangible assets that do not have indefinite lives will continue to be amortized over their useful lives.  The non-amortization and amortization provisions of SFAS 142 are effective for goodwill and intangible assets acquired after June 30, 2001.  As a result we will not record any amortization of goodwill related to the acquisitions of Century, Aris and Metamor (see Note 3).  With respect to goodwill and intangible assets acquired prior to July 1, 2001, we will adopt SFAS 142 effective January 1, 2002.  We expect the adoption of these accounting standards will result in a reduction of our amortization of goodwill commencing January 1, 2002, however, periodic impairment reviews may result in future write-downs.

 

(i) Revenue Recognition

 

We provide consulting services under time-and-material and fixed-priced contracts. The majority of our service revenues are recognized under time-and-material contracts as hours and costs are incurred. Revenues include reimbursable expenses separately billed to clients. For fixed-priced contracts, revenue is recognized on the basis of the estimated percentage of completion based on costs incurred relative to total estimated costs. The cumulative impact of any revisions in estimated revenues and costs are recognized in the period in which the facts that give rise to the revision become known. Losses, if any, on fixed-price contracts are recognized when the loss is determined. Under certain national IT services contracts, we are required by our customer to act as a billing agent for other service providers to such client. We recognize the net fee under these arrangements as revenue.

 

Other revenues include sales of computer hardware products, commissions on computer product sales and software license and maintenance fees. Revenues related to the sale of computer products are recognized when the products are shipped. Where we are the remarketer of certain computer products, commission revenue is recognized when the products are drop-shipped from the vendor to the customer. On September 30, 1999, we sold our software business. Software license fee revenues were recognized over the period of the software implementation and revenues from maintenance agreements were recognized ratably over the maintenance period. Unbilled accounts receivable represent amounts recognized as revenue based on services performed in advance of billings in accordance with contract terms.

 

26



 

(j) Income Taxes

 

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. A tax benefit or expense is recognized for the net change in the deferred tax asset or liability during the period. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities due to a change in tax rates is recognized in income tax expense in the period that includes the enactment date.

 

(k) Stock-based Compensation

 

As permitted by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (“SFAS 123”), we account for stock-based employee compensation in accordance with the provisions of Accounting Principles Board Opinion 25, and related interpretations, including FASB Interpretation No. 44, “Accounting for Certain Transactions Involving Stock Compensation (an Interpretation of APB Opinion No. 25)”. We measure stock-based compensation cost as the excess, if any, of the quoted market price of CIBER common stock (or the estimated fair value of subsidiary stock) at the grant date over the amount the employee must pay for the stock. We generally grant stock options at fair market value at the date of grant. The pro forma disclosures, as if the fair-value based method defined in SFAS 123 had been applied, are provided in Note 15.

 

(l) Minority Interest

 

At December 31, 2000, we owned 88% of Waterstone, Inc. In 2001, we purchased the remaining shares that represented the minority interest in Waterstone for $1.7 million, which resulted in additional goodwill of $792,000. On November 27, 2000, we acquired 51% of Enspherics, Inc.  The minority stockholders’ proportionate share of the equity of these subsidiaries is reflected as minority interest in the consolidated balance sheet.  As Enspherics has incurred losses in excess of minority interest equity capital, no minority interest is recorded at December 31, 2001. The minority stockholders’ proportionate share of the net income (loss) of these subsidiaries is included in other income, net in the consolidated statement of operations.  For the year ended December 31, 2000, the minority interest in the net loss of subsidiaries was $467,000.

 

(m) Comprehensive Loss

 

Comprehensive loss includes changes in the balances of items that are reported directly as a separate component of shareholders’ equity in the consolidated balance sheet. Comprehensive loss includes net income (loss) plus changes in the net unrealized gain/loss on investments, net of taxes and changes in cumulative foreign currency translation adjustment.  At December 31, 2001, the total accumulated other comprehensive loss of $1,701,000 is comprised of unrealized loss on investments of $159,000 and $1,542,000 of foreign currency translation.

 

(n) Foreign Currency Translation

 

The assets and liabilities of our foreign operations are translated into U.S. dollars at current exchange rates and revenues and expenses are translated at average exchange rates for the period. The resulting cumulative translation adjustment is included in accumulated other comprehensive loss on the consolidated balance sheet.  Foreign currency translation adjustment excludes tax effects given that the earnings of non-U.S. subsidiaries are deemed to be reinvested for an indefinite period of time.  Foreign currency transaction gains and losses have not been significant and are included in the results of operations as incurred.

 

(o) Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The fair value of our financial instruments approximates our carrying amounts due to the relatively short periods to maturity of the instruments and/or variable interest rates of the instruments, which approximate current market rates.

2001— In connection with our reorganization of our DigiTerra and Waterstone subsidiaries, during the fourth quarter of 2001, we incurred severance costs related to certain executive management positions that were eliminated.  In addition, during 2001 we incurred charges related to losses on excess office space that we have sub-leased to other parties.

 

2000 — During the quarter ended September 30, 2000, we recorded a goodwill impairment charge of $80.8 million to write-down the goodwill associated with certain acquisitions. These acquisitions included: Business Impact Systems, Inc. (“BIS”), Integration Software Consultants, Inc. (“ISC”), York & Associates, Inc., Interactive Papyrus, Inc. and Paragon Solutions, Inc. Of the total goodwill impairment charge, $58.6 million related to the Custom Solutions segment and $22.2 million related to our Package Solutions segment. These businesses were acquired at a time when the value of IT services companies was much higher than at the time of the impairment charge. In addition, approximately 88% of the goodwill impairment charge related to businesses acquired for consideration paid 100% in our stock. Stock consideration typically involves a premium over cash consideration. These acquired operations experienced a decrease in the demand for their services as post Year 2000 IT spending of many companies decreased. In addition, in the spring of 2000, the IT services requirements of dot.com companies decreased significantly. This has led to greater competition within the IT services industry for the remaining business, and as a result, revenues, cash flows and expected future growth rates of these operations have decreased.

 

Due to the significance of the change in conditions, we performed an evaluation of the recoverability of the goodwill related to these operations in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 121, “Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of.” Because the estimated future undiscounted cash flows of these operations were less than the carrying value of the related goodwill, an impairment charge was required. The impairment charge represents the amount required to write-down this goodwill to our best estimate of these operations’ future discounted cash flows. In addition, we reduced the remaining goodwill amortization periods for BIS and ISC to 10 years and 14 years, respectively. This reduction resulted in additional goodwill amortization of $330,000 during the year ended December 31, 2000, which increased the net loss by the same amount.

 

In March 2000, we announced our intent to spin-off our DigiTerra subsidiary to our shareholders and incurred related charges for an asset write-down as well as professional fees.  In 2001, as the result of changes in market and business conditions, the plans to spin-off DigiTerra were cancelled.

 

1999—-Merger costs represent professional fees, primarily broker fees, associated with certain pooling of interests business combinations.

(3) Acquisitions

 

We have acquired certain businesses, as set forth below, that we have accounted for using the purchase method of accounting for business combinations and accordingly, the accompanying consolidated financial statements include the results of operations of each acquired business since the date of acquisition.

 

Acquisitions — 2001

Metamor Industry Solutions, Inc (“Metamor”) - On October 15, 2001, CIBER, Inc. acquired Metamor Industry Solutions, Inc. and its subsidiary, Metamor Government Solutions, Inc.  CIBER acquired all of the outstanding stock of Metamor Industry Solutions, Inc. from PSINet Consulting Solutions Holdings, Inc., a subsidiary of PSINet, Inc., for consideration of approximately  $37.8 million.  We have recorded goodwill of $29.0 million all of which is expected to be deductible for tax purposes.  The actual purchase price is subject to finalization between the parties. We recorded reserves of $1.7 million for estimated office lease closure costs as additional costs of the acquisition. Metamor, based in Chicago, IL, provided IT consulting services similar to CIBER, including custom software development and IT staffing, primarily to governmental entities.  Our primary reason for acquiring Metamor was to expand our services to federal, state and local governments.

 

Aris Corporation (“Aris”) — On September 18, 2001, we acquired the business and properties of Aris as the result of Aris’ merger with and into CIBER. The total purchase price was $29.9 million consisting of $15.8 million in cash (including acquisition costs), 2,222,092 shares of CIBER common stock valued at $12.7 million and CIBER stock options valued at $1.4 million.  The value of the CIBER shares issued was based on the average closing price of CIBER stock over the two-day period before and after the revised terms of the acquisition were agreed to. We have recorded $4.3 million of goodwill, all of which is not deductible for tax purposes.  No benefit has been recorded for Aris’s foreign tax loss carryforwards at the acquisition date.  Any subsequent realization of these tax benefits will be adjusted to goodwill.  We recorded reserves of $2.0 million and $1.9 million for employee severance and office lease closure costs, respectively, as additional costs of the acquisition.  The severance costs were paid by December 31, 2001.  Aris, headquartered in Bellevue, WA, provided IT consulting services similar to CIBER, including enterprise systems implementation and front-end web development.

In 2000, we reduced the goodwill associated with Paragon to $1.9 million (see Note 2). Paragon, located in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, provided Oracle software implementation services.

 

The Doradus Corporation (“Doradus”) — On November 15, 1998, we acquired all of the outstanding capital stock of Doradus for $4.1 million. Additional consideration of $288,000 was paid in during the six months ended December 31, 1999. We have recorded total goodwill of $4.2 million related to this acquisition, which is being amortized over 15 years. Doradus, located in Minneapolis, Minnesota, provided IT consulting services similar to us.

 

(4) Poolings of Interests

 

During the year ended June 30, 1999, we completed certain business combinations accounted for as poolings of interests, as set forth below.

 

The Cushing Group, Inc. (“Cushing”) — On August 31, 1998, we issued 961,135 shares of our common stock in connection with the merger of Cushing.  Our financial statements include the accounts of EJR since the pooling of interests as prior period amounts were immaterial.

 

EJR Computer Associates, Inc. (“EJR”) — On August 11, 1998, we issued 1,155,516 shares of our common stock in connection with the merger of EJR.  Our financial statements include the accounts of EJR for all periods prior to the pooling of interests.

 

(5) Agilera Investment

 

In March 2000, our wholly owned subsidiary, Agilera, Inc., sold convertible preferred stock to new investors. In connection with the preferred stock sale, Agilera paid us $9.9 million in repayment of our advances to Agilera as of December 31, 1999, reducing our historical cost basis in our remaining ownership in Agilera to zero.  As a result of participating rights obtained by the preferred stockholders in connection with their investment, our voting interest in Agilera was reduced to 41%. Accordingly, effective January 1, 2000, for financial reporting purposes, we do not consolidate Agilera and we account for investment in Agilera using the equity method of accounting. Under the equity method, since the basis of our investment in Agilera is zero and Agilera has incurred losses, we did not record our proportionate share of Agilera’s net losses during that period.  As the result of other Agilera equity transactions, in January 2001 our voting interest in Agilera was reduced to approximately 19%. As a result of this decrease in ownership, we account for our investment in Agilera at cost, which is zero.

 

Agilera provides enterprise application hosting or application service provider (“ASP”) services.  We provide software implementation services to Agilera as a subcontractor under certain Agilera customer contracts. We have recorded revenue of $5,986,000 and $3,952,000 related to these services during the year ended December 31, 2000 and 2001 respectively.  In addition, we have an agreement to sublease an office facility to Agilera at an annual cost of approximately $351,000, through the expiration of our lease in January 2003.

 

(6) Sale of LogisticsPRO

 

On September 30, 1999, we sold our LogisticsPRO software business for $2.0 million resulting in a gain of $827,000 that is included in other income.  As consideration, we received a $2.0 million promissory note that was paid in full in September 2000. The software business was sold to an entity owned by the management of the LogisticsPRO business as well as two non-executive officers of DigiTerra.

On February 1, 2001, we received 285,044 shares of our common stock plus interest upon the maturity of the STRYPES. We recorded these shares as treasury stock at December 31, 2000, at a cost of $1,534,000, net of interest received.  The CIBER, Inc. common stock delivered by Merrill Lynch & Co. in settlement of the STRYPES was purchased by Merrill Lynch & Co. from a trust controlled by Bobby G.

(12) Bank Line of Credit and Financing Agreement

 

Bank Line of Credit - In September 2001, we obtained a new $40 million reducing revolving line of credit from Wells Fargo Bank, N.A.  At the end of each calendar quarter the maximum available borrowing under our line of credit is reduced by $2.5 million, therefore the maximum available borrowing was $37.5 million at December 31, 2001.  The line of credit expires September 30, 2004.  Borrowings bear interest based on the bank’s prime rate and ranges from prime minus 0.20% to prime less 0.70%, depending on our ratio of indebtedness to earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization.  At December 31, 2001 our outstanding balance under the line of credit was $18.6 million.  At December 31, 2001, the bank’s prime rate was 4.75% and our rate on borrowing was 4.05%. We are also required to pay a fee of 0.125% per annum on the unused portion of the line of credit.  The line of credit is secured by substantially all of our assets.  The terms of the credit agreement contain, among other provisions, certain financial covenants including minimum interest coverage and minimum tangible net worth, as well as specific limitations on additional indebtedness, liens and merger activity and prohibits the payment of any dividends.

 

Wholesale Financing Agreement - In connection with our operation as an authorized remarketer of certain computer hardware and products, we have an Agreement for Wholesale Financing with IBM Credit Corporation.  Outstanding amounts under the Wholesale Financing Agreement, which totaled $3,247,000 and $5,310,000 at December 31, 2000 and 2001, respectively, are included in accounts payable on the balance sheet.  Our payment of individual amounts financed is due within normal trade credit payment terms, generally 45 days, and are without interest.  Outstanding amounts under the Wholesale Financing Agreement are secured by substantially all of our assets.

 

(13) Leases

 

We have noncancelable operating leases for our office space.  We also have certain office locations that we have subleased to other parties.  Net rent expense for operating leases totaled $10,730,000, $6,218,000, $12,106,000 and $13,387,000 for the year ended June 30, 1999, the six months ended December 31, 1999 and the years ended December 31, 2000 and 2001 respectively. Our net rental expense for the year ended December 31, 2001 consists of gross rental expense of $14,476,000 and sublease income of $1,089,000.

Based on our evaluation of current and anticipated future taxable income, we believe sufficient taxable income will be generated to realize the deferred tax assets.

 

At December 31, 2001 we have available tax loss carryforwards of approximately $17.5 million resulting from certain acquired companies and certain subsidiaries, which begin to expire in 2018.  The valuation allowance at December 31, 2001, relates to $5.0 million of acquired foreign net operating loss carryforwards, for which any future realized benefit would be allocated to reduce goodwill. The utilization of $9.4 million of U.S. net operating loss carryforwards is subject to certain annual limits under the Internal Revenue Code.

 

(15) Stock-Based Plans

 

Our stock-based compensation plans are described below.

 

Employees’ Stock Option Plan — We have a stock option plan for employees and up to 10,500,000 shares of CIBER, Inc. common stock are authorized for issuance under this plan. At December 31, 2001, 1,309,485 options were available for future grants. The plan administrators may grant to officers, employees and consultants, restricted stock, stock options, performance bonuses or any combination thereof. The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors determines the number and nature of awards. Options become exercisable as determined at the date of grant by the Board of Directors and expire within 10 years from the date of grant. In 2001, stock grants were made to employees for 130,000 shares of common stock valued at an average price of $4.50 per share.

 

1989 Stock Option Plan — We established a stock option plan in 1989 that was discontinued during 1994. The options expire twenty years after the date of grant through 2013. At December 31, 2001, options for 148,872 shares were outstanding and vested at an average exercise price of $0.45.

 

Directors’ Stock Option Plan — Up to 200,000 shares of CIBER, Inc. common stock are authorized for issuance to non-employee, non-affiliate directors under this plan. Such stock options are non-discretionary and granted annually at the fair market value of our common stock on the date of grant. The number of options

 

37



 

granted annually is fixed by the plan. Options expire 10 years from the date of grant.  At December 31, 2001, 69,000 options were available for future grants.

 

At December 31, 2001, there were 7,901,442 shares of CIBER, Inc. common stock reserved for future issuance under our stock option plans.

 

Directors’ Stock Compensation Plan A total of 50,000 shares of CIBER, Inc. common stock are authorized for issuance to non-employee directors under this plan.    Each non-employee director is issued shares having a fair market value of approximately $2,500 for attendance at each meeting of our Board of Directors. During the year ended June 30, 1999, the six months ended December 31, 1999 and the years ended December 31, 2000 and 2001, we issued 1,980; 1,445; 3,892 and 7,550 shares, respectively, of common stock under this plan.  At December 31, 2001, 32,236 shares were available for future grants.

DigiTerra, Inc. Equity Incentive Plan — In July 2001, our DigiTerra, Inc. subsidiary established a stock option plan for its employees.  In 2001, options for 3,611,532 shares at an average exercise price of $1.33 were issued of which 1,543,150 have been cancelled and 2,068,385 are outstanding at December 31, 2001. Options for 517,096 shares are vested at December 31, 2001.  As a result of our decision to not spin off DigiTerra and our subsequent reorganization of DigiTerra, efforts are underway to terminate the plan and cancel these options sometime during 2002.

 

Waterstone, Inc. Equity Incentive Plan — Our Waterstone subsidiary had a stock option plan under which there were 1,472,900 options outstanding as of December 31, 2000.  During 2001, this plan was discontinued and all options were cancelled.

 

Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“ESPP”) — We have a stock purchase plan that allows eligible employees to purchase, through payroll deductions, shares of CIBER, Inc. common stock at 85% of the fair market value at specified dates. Up to 4,750,000 shares of common stock are authorized to be issued under the ESPP, of which, a total of 3,730,351 shares have been issued through December 31, 2001. During the years ended June 30, 1999, the six months ended December 31, 1999 and the years ended December 31, 2000 and 2001, employees purchased 633,405, 440,290 and 837,850 and 1,675,670 shares of common stock, respectively.

The effect of applying SFAS 123 in this pro forma disclosure may not be indicative of the effect on pro forma net income for future years because variables such as the number of options granted, exercises and stock price volatility included in these disclosures may not be indicative of future activity.

 

The weighted average fair values of CIBER, Inc. options granted during the year ended June 30, 1999, the six months ended December 31, 1999 and the years ended December 31, 2000 and 2001 were $16.24, $9.20, $6.41 and $3.64, respectively.  The fair value of options at the date of grant was estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions:

Warrants for Common Stock — In connection with our acquisition of Aris, we issued warrants for 96,954 shares of our common stock in replacement of Aris’s previously outstanding warrants.  The warrants are exercisable at prices from $15.63 to $58.24 with an average exercise price of $24.22 and expire at various times through October 2004.

 

(16) 401(k) Savings Plan

 

We have a savings plan under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code. Our company matching contribution is determined based on the employee’s completed years of service.  We recorded expense of $4,555,000, $2,464,000, $3,593,000 and $2,945,000 for the years ended June 30, 1999, the six months ended December 31, 1999 and the years ended December 31, 2000 and 2001, respectively, related to this plan.

(17) Stock Purchase Rights

 

On September 21, 1998, CIBER, Inc. paid a dividend of one preferred stock purchase right (a “Right”) for each outstanding share of CIBER, Inc. common stock (“Common Stock”). A Right is also attached to all shares of Common Stock issued after the dividend date. Each Right entitles the registered holder to purchase one one-hundredth of a share of Series A Junior Preferred Stock, par value $0.01, at a purchase price of $250, subject to adjustment. The Rights become exercisable ten business days following a public announcement that a person or group has acquired, or has commenced or intends to commence a tender offer for 15% or more of our outstanding Common Stock. In the event the Rights become exercisable, each Right will entitle its holder, other than the Acquiring Person (as defined in the Rights Agreement), to that number of shares of our Common Stock having a market value of two times the exercise price of the Right. In the event the Rights become exercisable because of a merger or certain other business combination, each Right will entitle its holder to purchase common stock of the acquiring company having a market value of two times the exercise price of the Right. If the Rights are fully exercised, the shares issued would cause substantial dilution to the Acquiring Person or the shareholders of the acquiring company.  We can redeem the Rights in their entirety, prior to their becoming exercisable, at $0.001 per Right. The Rights expire on August 28, 2008, unless extended or earlier redeemed.

 

(18) Share Repurchase Program

 

On June 21, 1999, our Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to 5,888,591 shares (10%) of our common stock. On April 17, 2001 our Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of an additional 1,000,000 shares of our common stock for a total of 6,888,591 shares that have been authorized for repurchase.  As of December 31, 2001, we have purchased 6,735,000 shares for $71,527,000 under this program.

 

(19) Business and Credit Concentrations

 

Our clients are located principally throughout the United States. Our revenue and accounts receivable are concentrated with large companies across several industries and governmental entities. Our largest client accounted for approximately 6%, 7%, 6% and 6% of total revenues for the years ended June 30, 1999, the six months ended December 31, 1999 and the years ended December 31, 2000 and 2001, respectively. In addition, our five largest clients accounted for, in the aggregate, approximately 15%, 16%, 14% and 16% of our total revenues for the years ended June 30, 1999, the six months ended December 31, 1999 and the years ended December 31, 2000 and 2001, respectively. We have a policy to regularly monitor the creditworthiness of our clients and generally do not require collateral. We have a concentration of revenues related to clients purchasing software from PeopleSoft, Inc. Approximately 10%, 8%, 8% and 8% of our total revenues for the years ended June 30, 1999, the six months ended December 31, 1999 and the years ended December 31, 2000 and 2001, respectively, were generated from implementing PeopleSoft software.

 

(20) Segment Information

 

In the fourth quarter of 2001, we realigned our operations based on the nature of their services.  As a result, we have two reportable segments, Custom Solutions and Package Solutions. The Custom Solutions segment primarily includes our CIBER custom branch offices and our CIBER Solution Partners European operations.  Our Custom Solutions segment provides IT project solutions and IT staffing in custom developed software environments. Our Package Solutions segment is comprised primarily of our CIBER Enterprise Solutions Division and our subsidiary DigiTerra, Inc.  Package Solutions provides enterprise software implementation services including enterprise resource planning (ERP), supply chain management customer relationship management software from software vendors such as  J.D. Edwards, Lawson, Oracle, PeopleSoft, and SAP, among others.  Prior year information has been restated to conform to this presentation.

 

We evaluate our segments based on operating income before amortization of intangible assets and goodwill impairment and other charges. The accounting policies of the reportable segments are the same as those disclosed in the Summary of Significant Accounting Policies.
