TANNING TECHNOLOGY CORPORATION

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(1) BASIS OF PRESENTATION

        The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by Tanning Technology Corporation (the "Company") pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission regarding interim financial reporting. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2001 included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting solely of normal, recurring adjustments) which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of results for the interim periods presented. The results of operations for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2002, or other periods presented, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for any future period or the full fiscal year.

(2) EARNINGS PER SHARE

        Basic earnings (loss) per share (EPS) excludes dilution and is computed by dividing income (loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur if stock options were exercised, resulting in the issuance of common stock that then shared in the earnings of the Company. Potential dilution of stock options exercisable into common stock was computed using the treasury stock method based on the average fair market value of the stock. The Company has a net loss for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2002 and 2001. Therefore, for these periods, the effect of common stock equivalents is excluded from the computation of earnings (loss) per share since their effect is anti-dilutive. Under the treasury stock method, if the Company were not in a net loss position, the securities included in the computation would have been 168 shares and 603,386 shares for the three months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively, and 4,169 shares and 718,023 shares for the six months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively. The following table reflects the basic and diluted weighted average shares.

(3) CAPITAL STOCK

        During the six months ended June 30, 2002, the Company issued 36,290 shares of common stock out of treasury in conjunction with purchases under its qualified employee stock purchase plan.

        During the third quarter of 2001, the Company entered into a stock subscription agreement with a key executive who commenced employment on November 1, 2001. This agreement provides that the executive will purchase, on various dates from November 2001 to November 2002, a total of 176,788 shares of the Company's common stock at a per share price of $4.10, for an aggregate purchase price of $724,831. This obligation to purchase common stock is not contingent upon future employment of the key executive. During the first quarter of 2002, 120,202 shares of common stock were issued out of treasury in conjunction with this agreement.

        During the first quarter of 2002, the Company received 151,874 shares of its common stock from a former key executive as full payment on a promissory note, owed to the Company by the former executive, including accrued interest, in the amount of $282,486. These shares are included in treasury stock at June 30, 2002.

(4) DEFERRED TAXES

        The Company's financial statements contain certain deferred tax assets which have arisen primarily as a result of tax benefits recorded against operating losses incurred in 2001, as well as tax benefits resulting from the exercise of employee stock options, which benefits were recorded as additional paid-in capital in the period of exercise. Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes," requires the establishment of a valuation allowance to reflect the likelihood of realization of deferred tax assets. Significant management judgment is required in determining any valuation allowance recorded against the net deferred tax assets. As a result of operating losses incurred in 2001, the continued operating losses in 2002, and uncertainty as to the extent and timing of profitability in future periods, the Company recorded a full valuation allowance against the deferred tax asset of approximately $6.3 million during the quarter ended March 31, 2002. The increase in the valuation allowance recorded on the Company's statement of operations in the first quarter was approximately $1.2 million, with the balance of the valuation allowance adjustment of approximately $5.1 million reflected as a reduction of the Company's additional paid-in capital. Accordingly, the Company has recorded a full valuation allowance on the tax benefit associated with pretax losses of $5.1 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2002.

        If the realization of deferred tax assets in the future is considered more likely than not, an adjustment to the deferred tax asset would increase net income in the period such determination is made. The amount of the deferred tax asset considered realizable is based on significant estimates, and it is at least reasonably possible that changes in these estimates could materially affect the financial condition and results of operations. The Company's effective tax rate may vary from period to period based on changes in estimated taxable income or loss; changes to the valuation allowance; changes to federal, state or foreign tax laws; future expansion into areas with varying country, state, and local income tax rates and rules regarding the deductibility of certain costs and expenses;and as a result of acquisitions.

(5) SEGMENT REPORTING

        Operating segments are components of an enterprise about which separate financial information is available and regularly evaluated by the chief operating decision maker(s) of an enterprise. Under this definition, the Company operated as a single business unit for all periods presented.

(7) RESTRUCTURING CHARGES

        During the second quarter of 2001, the Company implemented a plan to realign its European staffing profile. The aggregate financial impact of this plan was a restructuring charge of approximately $0.5 million, primarily consisting of severance pay associated with a workforce reduction of 16 employees in the Company's European operation. During the second half of 2001, the Company executed a series of cost control initiatives in its North American and European operations, resulting in additional aggregate restructuring charges of $4.8 million during 2001. These charges include approximately $3.1 million in severance pay and other costs associated with a workforce reduction of 107 employees, of which 78 were billable consultants, and 29 were sales, general or administrative employees. The remainder of the restructuring charges relates to lease termination and other costs associated with office closures, losses on computer hardware and software and furniture/fixture disposals, and the disposition of cumulative currency translation adjustments. As a result of these initiatives, the Company closed its European office.

        During the first quarter of 2002, the Company executed a global business reorganization associated with its North American and Indian operations. This reorganization resulted in a charge of $1.3 million taken in the first quarter of 2002. The charge includes approximately $1.3 million in severance pay and other costs associated with a workforce reduction of 75 billable consultants and 23 sales, general and administrative employees.

        Approximately $373,000 of previously recorded restructuring charges were reversed during the second quarter of 2002.

        Approximately $327,000 in restructuring charges remain unpaid and are included in current liabilities as of June 30, 2002.

        Original restructuring charges, occurring during the last three quarters of 2001 and the first half of 2002, additional charges, reversals and utilization, both cash and non-cash, as of June 30, 2002 are as follows (in thousands):

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

        Certain statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including information with respect to our future business plans, constitute "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and are subject to the "safe harbor" created by those sections. For this purpose, any statements contained herein that are not statements of historical fact may be deemed to be forward-looking statements. Without limiting the foregoing, the words "believes," "plans," "expects," "anticipates" and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Such forward-looking statements are subject to various risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond our control. There are a number of important factors that could cause our results to differ materially from those indicated by such forward-looking statements and our expectations as a result of, among other things, variations in demand for information technology services and in economic conditions generally; our ability to attract business from new clients, and maintain and expand business from existing clients; potential difficulties in managing costs and resource levels, and recruiting and retaining technical and management professionals and key employees; our dependence on our principal clients; the ability of clients to terminate projects before completion; difficulties associated with international operations; difficulties in estimating the time and resources necessary for project engagements and in continuing to perform challenging and critical projects in a manner that satisfies our clients; potential collection risks arising from clients with uncertain financial condition; the intensely competitive nature of the business areas in which we compete; difficulties in responding to changing technology, industry standards and client preferences; dependence on continued growth in use and acceptance of the Internet; difficulties associated with potential acquisitions and investments; and the other factors set forth in Exhibit 99.1 to our Securities and Exchange Commission filings as well as factors discussed elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

OVERVIEW

        We are an information technology services provider that develops and deploys IT systems that reduce cost, improve performance and drive competitive advantage for leading companies worldwide. We focus on mission-critical business systems that are engineered to integrate, perform and scale, reliably and predictably. Our years of experience in pushing system performance limits has resulted in a unique family of Powering Performance™ solutions and methodologies that are at the core of everything we do. Our offerings are targeted, and our domain expertise is focused, on industries in which mission-critical high-performance IT systems provide competitive advantage, including financial services, logistics, travel and transportation, insurance, healthcare and telecommunications.

        Our revenue is comprised of fees generated for professional services. We generally provide services to clients on a time and materials or a fixed-fee basis. Under time and materials contracts, we recognize revenue as services are provided. Under fixed-fee contracts, we recognize revenue on a percentage of completion basis, which relies on estimates of total expected contract revenues and costs. We follow this method because we believe we can make reasonably dependable estimates of the revenue and costs applicable to various stages of a contract. Because the financial reporting of these contracts depends on estimates, which are assessed continually during the contract term, recognized revenues and profits are subject to revisions as the contract progresses to completion. We are generally reimbursed for reasonable expenses under our contracts. These expenses and reimbursements are not reflected on our statements of operations.

        During the second quarter of 2001, we implemented a plan to realign our European staffing profile. The aggregate financial impact of this plan was a restructuring charge of approximately $0.5 million, primarily consisting of severance pay associated with a workforce reduction of 16 employees in our European operation.

        During the second half of 2001, we executed a series of cost control measures in our North American and European operations, resulting in additional aggregate restructuring charges of approximately $4.8 million during 2001. These charges primarily consist of severance pay and other costs associated with a workforce reduction of 107 employees. The remainder of the restructuring charges relates to lease termination and other costs associated with office closures, losses on computer hardware and software and furniture/fixture disposals, and the disposition of cumulative translation adjustments. As a result of these initiatives, we closed our European office. We will continue to serve our international clients from our North American and Indian facilities.

        During January 2002, we executed additional cost control measures in our North American and Indian operations, resulting in a workforce reduction of 98 employees, as well as certain office closures. The aggregate financial impact of these measures was a restructuring charge of approximately $1.3 million, recorded during the first quarter of 2002, primarily consisting of severance pay and lease termination costs.

        Based on our best estimate of existing liabilities related to these restructuring initiatives, we reversed approximately $373,000 of previously recorded restructuring charges during the second quarter of 2002.

        Historically, a large portion of our revenues has been derived from a limited number of clients. Our top five customers accounted for 90% and 69% of total revenues during the first six months of 2002 and 2001, respectively. To the extent we are unable to mitigate this revenue concentration through new business development, any cancellation, reduction or deferral in work performed for our principal clients will have an adverse effect on us. Many factors can result in a cancellation, reduction or deferral of services requested by our customers, including budget constraints, perceived project progress, perceived project success or value, industry shifts and consolidation, and economic factors. For example, as a result of projects ending and client budget pressure, our work for a number of clients who were among our five largest in 2001 has sharply declined, significantly adversely affecting our revenue at the end of 2001 and continuing into 2002.

        Revenue from foreign operations represents revenue for professional services performed for clients outside North America. Foreign operations represented 7% of revenues in the first six months of 2002, and 36% of revenues for the same period in 2001. Given the closure of our European facilities, we do not anticipate significant revenue from foreign operations in the foreseeable future.

        The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires our management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates relied upon in preparing these financial statements include expected future earnings and cash flows used to evaluate the recoverability of deferred tax assets, and the adequacy of the allowances for bad debts. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

        Significant management judgment is required to determine the realizability of our deferred tax assets, and any valuation allowance recorded against the deferred tax assets. We evaluate the weight of all available evidence to determine whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred income tax will not be realized. As a result of operating losses incurred in 2001, the continued operating losses in 2002, and uncertainty as to the extent and timing of profitability in future periods, we recorded a valuation allowance against the deferred tax asset of approximately $6.3 million during the quarter ended March 31, 2002. The increase in the valuation allowance recorded on our statement of operations in the first quarter of 2002 was $1.2 million, with the balance of the valuation allowance adjustment of $5.1 million reflected as a reduction of our additional paid-in capital. Accordingly, we have recorded a full valuation allowance on the tax benefit associated with pretax losses of $5.1 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2002. If the realization of deferred tax assets in the future is considered more likely than not, an adjustment to the valuation allowance would increase net income in the period such determination is made. Since the amount of the deferred tax asset considered realizable is based on significant estimates, it is at least reasonably possible that changes in the estimates could materially affect our financial conditions and results of operations.

        We evaluate the collectibility of our accounts receivable based on a combination of factors. In circumstances where we are aware of a specific customer's inability or unwillingness to meet its financial obligations to us, we record a specific reserve for bad debts against amounts due to reduce the net recognized receivable to the amount we reasonably believe will be collected. If circumstances change (i.e. higher than expected defaults or the unexpected material change in a major customer's ability or willingness to meet its financial obligations to us), our estimates of the recoverability of amounts due could increase or decrease by a material amount.

        The demand for the services that we provide is sensitive to a variety of factors, including industry trends and economic conditions. Throughout 2001 and continuing in 2002, poor general economic conditions and industry-specific shifts in demand have caused and could continue to cause existing and/or potential clients to reduce or eliminate their investment in the types of services we provide, and make it more difficult to replace any principal clients of ours that have reduced their level of investment in our services. Further, competitive and pricing pressures have increased. Our ability to maintain and grow our revenues will continue to be adversely affected by these factors.

        In addition, the adverse impact of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks could cause existing and prospective customers to significantly reduce or eliminate their information technology services spending. In particular, we have seen significant reductions in spending for IT services among our clients in the travel and transportation and logistics industries, which will materially negatively affect our revenue expectations over the next few quarters.

        Project personnel costs represent a significant expense and consist primarily of salaries, bonuses and employee benefits for company personnel dedicated for client assignments, and fees paid to subcontractors for work performed on our projects. Non-billable time incurred by our project personnel resulting from excess resource capacity adversely affects gross margins, and may continue to cause gross profit margins to decrease. During the third quarter of 2001, we eliminated 30 project personnel positions in our North American operation, to more closely align needed skill sets with market demand. The closure of our European facilities, which commenced during the fourth quarter of 2001, resulted in the elimination of 48 European project personnel positions. During the first quarter 2002, we executed further global reorganization initiatives in our North American and Indian operations, which resulted in the elimination of 75 project personnel positions.

        Selling, marketing and administrative expenses consist primarily of salaries, bonuses, commissions and employee benefits for non-project personnel, occupancy costs, travel expenses, depreciation expense, bad debt expense and promotional costs. During the third quarter of 2001, we eliminated 7 selling, marketing and administrative positions in our North American operation. The closure of our European facilities, which commenced during the fourth quarter of 2001, resulted in the elimination of 22 European selling, marketing and administrative positions. During the first quarter of 2002, we executed further global reorganization initiatives in our North American and Indian operations, which resulted in the elimination of 23 selling, marketing and administrative positions.

        In July 2002 we completed the acquisition of the remaining 24% minority interest in our Indian subsidiary, Tanning Technology (India) Private Limited. Consequently, Tanning Technology (India) Private Limited has become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Tanning.

        In anticipation of long-term business growth, we expect to incur costs and expend capital. Our ability to generate revenues fluctuates from quarter to quarter as a result of a number of factors, and we can give no assurances that we will grow, or that our growth will support these costs and expenditures. To the extent revenues are inadequate to support our costs and expenditures, our results of operations and liquidity would be materially and adversely affected.

Comparison of three months ended June 30, 2001 and 2002

        Our revenues decreased $9.7 million, or 85%, to $1.7 million for the second quarter of 2002 from $11.4 million for the second quarter of 2001. The decrease in revenue is primarily attributable to a decline in the number and size of projects being worked on for certain existing clients, the conclusion of our relationship with certain clients, as well as difficulty generating revenue from new clients. The uncertainty in the economy has reduced IT spending for many of our existing and targeted customers, which has made developing new business, both with existing and potential clients, difficult in recent quarters.

        Our project personnel costs decreased $3.9 million, or 59%, to $2.8 million for the second quarter of 2002 from $6.7 million for the second quarter of 2001. This decrease was primarily due to a $3.5 million reduction in salary, payroll tax and benefit costs associated with fewer project personnel during the second quarter of 2002, as compared to the second quarter of 2001. Employee project personnel decreased from 338 at June 30, 2001 to 169 at June 30, 2002, primarily as a result of a series of restructuring plans that were implemented during the last three quarters of 2001 and the first quarter of 2002. Also contributing to this overall decrease was a $0.5 million reduction in costs associated with subcontractors used during the second quarter of 2002, as compared to the second quarter of 2001.

        Our selling, marketing and administrative expenses decreased $7.0 million, or 59%, to $4.9 million for the second quarter of 2002 from $11.9 million for the second quarter of 2001. This decrease was primarily due to a $3.2 million reduction in salary, payroll tax and benefit costs associated with fewer selling, marketing and administrative employees. Our selling, marketing and administrative staff decreased from 119 employees at June 30, 2001, to 58 employees at June 30, 2002. These reductions result from a series of restructuring plans that were implemented during the last three quarters of 2001 and the first quarter of 2002. The remaining decrease is attributable to reductions in facilities costs, human resource/recruiting costs, marketing costs, travel and entertainment costs, and other administrative costs.

        During the second quarter of 2001, we implemented a plan to realign our European staffing profile. The aggregate financial impact of this plan was a restructuring charge of approximately $0.5 million, primarily consisting of severance pay associated with a workforce reduction of 16 employees in our European operation.

        During the second half of 2001, we executed a series of cost control measures in our North American and European operations, resulting in additional aggregate restructuring charges of approximately $4.8 million during 2001. These charges primarily consist of severance pay and other costs associated with a workforce reduction of 107 employees. The remainder of the restructuring charges relates to lease termination and other costs associated with office closures, losses on computer hardware and software and furniture/fixture disposals, and the disposition of cumulative translation adjustments. As a result of these initiatives, we closed our European office.

        During January 2002, we executed additional cost control measures in our North American and Indian operations, resulting in a workforce reduction of 98 employees, as well as certain office closures. The aggregate financial impact of these measures was a charge of approximately $1.3 million, recorded during the first quarter of 2002, primarily consisting of severance pay and lease termination costs.

        Based on our best estimate of existing liabilities related to these restructuring initiatives, we reversed approximately $373,000 of previously recorded restructuring charges during the second quarter of 2002.

        Other income decreased 50%, to $0.4 million for the second quarter of 2002 from $0.8 million for the second quarter of 2001. This decrease was attributable to a decrease in interest income, partially offset by an increase in foreign currency translation gains. The decrease in interest income was a result of both a decline in interest rates during the second quarter of 2002, as well as a decrease in cash and equivalents during the second quarter of 2002, as compared to the second quarter of 2001. All cash has been invested in short-term, interest bearing, investment grade obligations.

        Income tax expense (benefit) represents combined federal, state, and foreign taxes. Our income tax benefit was $1.7 million on pre-tax losses of $6.9 million for the second quarter of 2001. Our ability to realize tax benefits is contingent upon our ability to generate taxable income in the future. As a result of operating losses incurred in 2001, the continued operating losses in 2002, and uncertainty as to the extent and timing of profitability in future periods, we recorded a full valuation allowance against the deferred tax asset of approximately $6.3 million during the quarter ended March 31, 2002. The increase in the valuation allowance recorded on the our statement of operations in the first quarter was $1.2 million, with the balance of the valuation allowance adjustment of $5.1 reflected as a reduction of our additional paid-in capital. Accordingly, we have recorded a full valuation allowance on the tax benefit associated with pretax losses of $5.1 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2002.

Comparison of six months ended June 30, 2001 and 2002

Net revenues

        Our revenues decreased $20.7 million, or 85%, to $3.7 million for the first half of 2002 from $24.4 million for the first half of 2001. The decrease in revenue is primarily attributable to a decline in the number and size of projects being worked on for certain existing clients, the conclusion of our relationship with certain clients, as well as difficulty generating revenue from new clients. The uncertainty in the economy has reduced IT spending for many of our existing and targeted customers, which has made developing new business, both with existing and potential clients, difficult in recent quarters.

Project personnel costs

        Our project personnel costs decreased $8.1 million, or 57%, to $6.1 million for the first half of 2002 from $14.2 million for the first half of 2001. This decrease was primarily due to a $7.0 million reduction in salary, payroll tax and benefit costs associated with fewer project personnel during the second quarter of 2002, as compared to the second quarter of 2001. Employee project personnel decreased from 338 at June 30, 2001 to 169 at June 30, 2002, primarily as a result of a series of restructuring plans that were implemented during the last three quarters of 2001, and the first quarter of 2002. Also contributing to this overall decrease was a $1.1 million reduction in costs associated with subcontractors used during the second quarter of 2002, as compared to the second quarter of 2001.

Selling, marketing and administrative

        Our selling, marketing and administrative expenses decreased $12.7 million, or 56%, to $9.9 million for the first half of 2002 from $22.6 million for the first half of 2001. This decrease was primarily due to a $5.2 million reduction in salary, payroll tax and benefit costs associated with fewer selling, marketing and administrative employees. Our selling, marketing and administrative staff decreased from 119 employees at June 30, 2001, to 58 employees at June 30, 2002. These reductions result from a series of restructuring plans that were implemented during the last three quarters of 2001 and the first quarter of 2002.The remaining decrease is attributable to reductions in facilities costs, human resource/recruiting costs, marketing costs, travel and entertainment costs, and other administrative costs.

Restructuring charges

        During the second quarter of 2001, we implemented a plan to realign our European staffing profile. The aggregate financial impact of this plan was a restructuring charge of approximately $0.5 million, primarily consisting of severance pay associated with a workforce reduction of 16 employees in our European operation.

        During the second half 2001, we executed a series of cost control measures in our North American and European operations, resulting in additional aggregate restructuring charges of approximately $4.8 million during 2001. These charges primarily consist of severance pay and other costs associated with a workforce reduction of 107 employees. The remainder of the restructuring charges relates to lease termination and other costs associated with office closures, losses on computer hardware and software and furniture/fixture disposals, and the disposition of cumulative translation adjustments. As a result of these initiatives, we closed our European office.

        During January 2002, we executed additional cost control measures in our North American and Indian operations, resulting in a workforce reduction of 98 employees, as well as certain office closures. The aggregate financial impact of these measures was a charge of approximately $1.3 million, recorded during the first quarter of 2002, primarily consisting of severance pay and lease termination costs. As a result of this reorganization, first quarter 2002 savings were approximately $2.4 million, and expected go-forward quarterly savings are approximately $2.7 million.

        Based on our best estimate of existing liabilities related to these restructuring initiatives, we reversed approximately $373,000 of previously recorded restructuring charges during the second quarter of 2002.

Other income

        Other income decreased $1.6 million, to $0.6 million for the first half of 2002 from $2.2 million for the first half of 2001. This decrease was attributable to a decrease in interest income, as well as decreases in foreign currency translation gains. The decrease in interest income was a result of both a decline in interest rates during the first half of 2002, as well as a decrease in cash and equivalents during the first half of 2002, as compared to the first half of 2001. All cash has been invested in short-term, interest bearing, investment grade obligations.

Provision for (benefit from) income taxes

        Income tax expense (benefit) represents combined federal, state, and foreign taxes. Our income tax benefit was $3.1 million on pre-tax losses of $10.7 million for the first half of 2001. Our ability to realize tax benefits is contingent upon our ability to generate taxable income in the future. As a result of operating losses incurred in 2001, the continued operating losses in 2002, and uncertainty as to the extent and timing of profitability in future periods, we recorded a full valuation allowance against the deferred tax asset of approximately $6.3 million during the quarter ended March 31, 2002. The increase in the valuation allowance recorded on the our statement of operations in the first quarter was $1.2 million, with the balance of the valuation allowance adjustment of $5.1 reflected as a reduction of our additional paid-in capital. Accordingly, we have recorded a full valuation allowance on the tax benefit associated with pretax losses of $12.7 million for the first half of 2002.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

        Historically, we have funded operations and investments in property and equipment primarily through cash generated from operations and the sale of common stock. We had no outstanding debt as of June 30, 2002.

        Cash and cash equivalents decreased to $50.4 million at June 30, 2002 from $57.3 million at December 31, 2001. The decrease was primarily due to a $7.3 million net decrease in cash from operating activities, partially offset by $0.5 million in proceeds from the issuance of common stock, primarily in conjunction with a stock subscription agreement entered into with a key executive. We currently have no material commitments for capital expenditures. Although we did not purchase any treasury shares during the first half of 2002, we may in the future continue to purchase treasury shares under our stock repurchase program.


Item 3. Qualitative and Quantitative Disclosures About Market Risk

        We have provided our services to customers primarily in the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom and Denmark. During the first quarter of 2002, we completed the closure of our European office. Accordingly, risk associated with foreign currency translation has been significantly reduced.

        To the extent Tanning Technology Europe and Tanning Technology (India) Private Limited have monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies, our financial results could be affected by changes in foreign currency exchange rates. Historically, we have not experienced material fluctuations in our results due to foreign currency exchange rates.

        We are not currently providing a significant level of services to clients outside North America. We will continue to serve our international clients from our North American and Indian facilities. If we expand our business with foreign clients, risks associated with foreign currencies will increase.
