(Unaudited)

1.     Organization and Basis of Presentation

      Covansys Corporation was founded in 1985. Covansys Corporation and its subsidiaries (the Company) is a global technology services company, with a focus on industry-specific solutions, strategic outsourcing and integration solutions. The Company addresses the most challenging technology issues companies are facing through a unique onsite, offsite, offshore delivery model that helps clients achieve rapid deployment and reduced costs. The Company offers high-level subject matter expertise in the public sector industry, as well as years of experience in retail, healthcare, distribution, manufacturing, financial services, telecommunications and utilities. The Company applies its industry-specific knowledge to deliver a wide range of outsourcing and integration services, including: application maintenance and development outsourcing (AMD/O); custom application development; e-business services; packaged software implementation, upgrades and enhancements; and other services.

      The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by management pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments, including normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the financial position of Covansys Corporation and subsidiaries as of March 31, 2005, the results of its operations for the three month periods ended March 31, 2005 and 2004, and cash flows for the three month periods ended March 31, 2005 and 2004. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company’s 2004 Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004.

      The results of operations for the three month period ended March 31, 2005 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected in future quarters or for the year ending December 31, 2005.

      On April 27, 2004, the Company announced that it had entered into a long-term Master Services Agreement and a Stock Purchase Agreement with Fidelity Information Services (“FIS”), Inc., a subsidiary of Fidelity National Financial, Inc. The Master Services Agreement is expected to generate an anticipated $150,000 in revenues to the Company through April, 2009.

      Under the Stock Purchase Agreement, as amended, with FIS and approved by shareholders on September 15, 2004, the Company issued to FIS 8,700,000 shares of the Company’s common stock and warrants for $95,700. The four tranches of warrants, each for 1,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, have a strike price between $15 and $24 per share. FIS also acquired 2,300,000 shares of the Company’s common stock from Rajendra Vattlikuti, founder and Chief Executive Officer of the Company.

      In order to facilitate the transactions with FIS, the Company also entered into a Recapitalization Agreement, as amended, with a wholly-owned subsidiary of a private equity investment fund managed by Clayton, Dubilier & Rice, Inc. (the “CDR Stockholder”) to restructure the CDR Stockholder’s ownership interest in the Company and certain corresponding governance rights, in exchange for a combination of cash, stock, notes and warrants. The CDR Stockholder owned 200,000 shares of the Company’s Series A Voting Convertible Preferred Stock, or approximately 8,695,000 shares of common stock on an as converted basis, and 5,300,000 common stock warrants with a strike price ranging from $25 to $31 per share.

      Under the terms of the Recapitalization Agreement approved by shareholders on September 15, 2004 the CDR Stockholder exchanged all of its existing holdings in the Company for consideration valued at $227,700

consisting of $177,500 of cash, 2,000,000 shares of common stock of the Company, subordinated notes in the total amount of $17,500 due December 31, 2005, which bears interest at LIBOR plus 2.20%, and five-year warrants for 5,000,000 shares of common stock with a strike price of $18 per share. In accordance with EITF D-42, as amended by EITF 00-27, the Company recorded a reduction to income available to common shareholders of $28,674 in the third quarter of 2004. The Company financed the transaction with the CDR Stockholder with cash on hand as well as proceeds from the FIS investment.

3.     Income Taxes

      The Company has provided federal, foreign and state income taxes in the condensed consolidated statements of operations based on the anticipated effective tax rate for fiscal years 2005 and 2004. The Company’s tax rate is impacted by permanent items such as Subpart F income and nondeductible travel and entertainment expenses as well as the mix between domestic and foreign earnings.

      Realization of deferred tax assets associated with the Company’s future deductible temporary differences and net operating loss carryforwards is dependent upon generating sufficient taxable income prior to their expiration. Although realization of the deferred tax assets is not assured, management believes it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will be realized through future taxable income. On a quarterly basis, management assesses whether it remains more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will be realized.

      The Company has six (five in 2004) business units in India which are entitled to a tax holiday for 10 consecutive years commencing with the year the business unit started producing computer software or until the Indian tax year ending March 31, 2009, whichever is earlier. The tax holiday period for two of the business units has expired. The remaining business units are subject to the tax holiday for various periods ranging through March 31, 2009. As the tax holiday expires, the Company’s overall effective tax rate will be negatively impacted.

4.     Fixed Price Contracts

      The Company realized approximately 40% and 37% of its revenue during the three months ended March 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively, from fixed price contracts (percentage of completion as well as fixed price IT outsourcing and maintenance). Approximately 13% and 8% of the Company’s revenue during the three months ended March 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively, was realized from fixed price contracts with respect to which we recognize revenue on a percentage of completion basis. These contracts expose the Company to collection risk on both billed and unbilled receivables in the event that contract milestones are not met or the client does not accept the product as delivered. In addition, the Company could incur unanticipated losses if it is necessary to increase its estimated cost to complete.

      The Company’s first quarter 2004 financial results were negatively impacted by approximately $9,400 due to four significant fixed price contracts which it considered to be challenged.

      Communications with contracting parties during 2004 caused management to re-assess the collectibility of billed and unbilled receivables for two troubled projects. In both cases, the Company had been informed that its services would no longer be required to complete the project prior to its implementation. The Company is not performing work on either of these contracts. As a result, the Company reduced the related receivables by $5,500 to their net realizable value in the first quarter of 2004. In accordance with the application of percentage of completion accounting, the Company reflected the changes as a contract price adjustment, and accordingly, as a reduction in revenue.

      The Company also determined it was necessary to increase its estimated cost to complete for three of these projects due to changes in 2004 in both scope and resource requirements. The revision in estimates had the effect of reducing gross margin by $3,900 in the first quarter of 2004.

COVANSYS CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

      At March 31, 2005, the Company has $4,482 in billed and unbilled receivables related to a challenged contract for which the Company is still performing services and which management believes are collectible.

5.     Segment Information

      The Company is a provider of IT services, and is organized geographically throughout North America, India and Asia, and other international locations. The chief operating decision-maker evaluates each location’s performance based primarily on its revenues and income from operations due to the similarity of the nature of services provided to clients. Revenue for the India/Asia operation is evaluated based on the full attribution of bill rates charged to the end customer. The segment revenue figures disclosed below are stated at full attribution. Full attribution revenue is calculated using the end customer invoice rate on intersegment engagements, as opposed to using the transfer price rate. Geographic revenue is presented using the transfer price rate. The chief operating decision-maker does not evaluate segment performance based on assets. Assets, including the related depreciation and amortization expense, are managed primarily by corporate management. Under this organization, the operating segments have been aggregated into the following four operating segments and other.

      The accounting policies of the operating segments are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies as included in the Company’s 2004 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

      India/Asia supplies substantial resources to U.S. operations customers. The rate charged by India to U.S. has been developed utilizing a cost plus transfer pricing methodology. This results in a large component of the available gross margin accruing to U.S. operations where the end customer is located.

COVANSYS CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

Revenue and income (loss) from operations by segment is as follows:

6.     Property and Equipment

      Subsequent to the original issuance of its financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2003, the Company identified $2,561 of adjustments related to property and equipment, $1,495 of which related to prior periods, thereby requiring the Company to restate its previously filed financial statements for all periods affected by the charge. Of the remaining $1,066, $742 relates to equipment that the Company has been unable to determine the period or periods during which the equipment left its possession and $324 relates to equipment that became obsolete in the first quarter of 2004.

      The first quarter 2004 charge of $1,066 was recorded in cost of revenue ($39) and selling, general and administrative expense ($1,027).

7.     Common Stock Repurchase Program

      The Company’s board of directors has authorized the repurchase of up to 14,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. During the quarter ended March 31, 2005, the Company did not repurchase any shares. Through March 31, 2005, the Company has repurchased 11,434,976 shares of its common stock for cash at a total cost of $141,980. At March 31, 2005, 2,565,024 shares remain available for purchase under the board of directors authorization. The Company has entered into a Credit Agreement which restricts the Company’s ability to repurchase shares of its common stock.

8.     Net Income (Loss) Per Share

      Basic and diluted net income (loss) per share is computed in accordance with SFAS No. 128, “Earnings Per Share, as amended by Emerging Issues Task force (“EITF”) Issue 03-6 by dividing net income (loss) available for common shareholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding. The calculation of dilutive net income (loss) per share excludes the following common stock equivalents for the respective periods because their impact was anti-dilutive.

      The Company’s Series A Voting Convertible Preferred Stock was a participating security as defined in Issue 03-6. The Company adopted Issue 03-6 in 2004. The adoption of Issue 03-6 results in a reduction in EPS available for common shareholders in periods where the Company has income and has no impact in periods where the Company has a loss. The Company’s Series A Voting Convertible Preferred Stock was redeemed as part of the Recapitalization Agreement with the CDR Shareholder (see Note 2).

9.     Stock Option Plans

      The Company has elected to account for stock options using the intrinsic value method prescribed in Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,” and related interpretations. Accordingly, no additional compensation expense has been recognized for our stock option plan within the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. Had compensation expense for our stock option plan been determined based on the fair value at the grant date consistent with the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation,” the

Company’s pro forma net income (loss) available for common shareholders and pro forma basic and diluted earnings (loss) per common share would have been reduced to the amounts indicated below:

      In December 2004 the FASB issued FAS 123R, “Share-Based Payment,” that requires companies to expense the value of employee stock options and similar awards. The effective date for application by public companies is annual periods beginning after June 15, 2005. FAS 123R applies to all outstanding and unvested share-based payment awards at a company’s adoption date. FAS 123R allows alternative transition methods. The Company has not yet selected a transition method. Management is presently reviewing the impact on our results of operation and financial position from implementing FAS 123R.

10.     Comprehensive Income (Loss)

      Total comprehensive income (loss) is summarized as follows:

11.     Related Party Transactions

      On September 15, 2004 the Company issued 8,700,000 shares of common stock and 4,000,000 warrants to FIS for $95,700 (See Note 2). In the second quarter of 2004, the Company entered into a Master Services Agreement with FIS to provide services over a five year period. Services provided by the Company to FIS during the three months ended March 31, 2005 totaled approximately $3,174. The balance owed to the Company by FIS at March 31, 2005 was $1,071.

This note is due in September 2005, and interest is paid quarterly in accordance with its terms.

      The Company paid approximately $179 to CDR, a shareholder, for financial, management advisory, and executive management services during the three month period ended March 31, 2004, respectively. No such services were provided by CDR during the three months ended March 31, 2005.

      During the three month periods ended March 31, 2005 and March 31, 2004, services provided by the Company to SIRVA, Inc., a company related through common ownership of CDR, totaled approximately $2,251 and $2,575 respectively.

12.     Restructuring, Merger and Other Related Charges

      The following is a roll forward of the accrual balance for restructuring, merger and other related charges for the three month periods ended March 31, 2005 and 2004 respectively.

13.     Cost of Computer Software to be Sold, Leased or Marketed

      SFAS No. 86 “Accounting for Costs of Computer Software to be Sold, Leased or Otherwise Marketed” requires capitalization of software development costs incurred subsequent to establishment of technological feasibility and prior to the availability of the product for general release to customers. During the three months ended March 31, 2005 the Company capitalized computer software of approximately $43. Amortization of capitalized costs begins when the product is available for general release to customers and is computed on a straight-line basis over each products estimated economic life — typically five years. Amortization costs were $417 and $422 for the three months ended March 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively.

14.     Goodwill

      Changes in the carrying amount of goodwill for the three months ended March 31, 2005 are as follows:

15.     Credit Agreement

      On September 7, 2004, the Company entered into a new Credit Agreement which provides for borrowings or standby and commercial letters of credit up to $30,000. The Credit Agreement expires on December 28, 2005 but may be extended in one-year increments at the request of the Company and the consent of the lenders. With the prior consent of the Agent, the Company may request to increase the availability under the Credit Agreement by up to $10,000 (not to exceed an aggregate availability of $40,000). Borrowings under the Credit Agreement are collateralized by all domestic assets of the Company.

      Borrowings under the Credit Agreement bear interest at LIBOR plus 1.20% to 1.55% or prime minus .50%. The interest rate matrix is based on the Company’s level of outstanding credit exposure as defined in the Credit Agreement. Under the Credit Agreement, the Company pays a commitment fee of .125% per annum on the unused portion of the commitment and a facility letter of credit fee of .90% to 1.55% per annum based on the level of outstanding credit exposure as defined in the Credit Agreement.

      The Credit Agreement contains covenants which include financial covenants which require the Company to maintain a certain interest coverage ratio, leverage ratio and a minimum total capitalization. At March 31, 2005, the Company had no borrowings and $9,232 in outstanding letters of credit under this Credit Agreement. The Credit Agreement also includes a covenant which restricts the Company’s ability to repurchase shares of its common stock.

16.     Recently Issued Financial Accounting Standards

      In December 2004 the FASB issued FAS 123R, “Share-Based Payment”, that requires companies to expense the value of employee stock options and similar awards. The effective date for application by public companies is annual periods beginning after June 15, 2005. FAS 123R applies to all outstanding and unvested share-based payment awards at a Company’s adoption date. FAS 123R allows alternative transition methods. The Company has not yet selected a transition method. Management is presently reviewing the impact on our results of operations and financial position from implementing FAS 123R.

      In December 2004, the FASB issued an FASB Staff Position (FSP) 109-2 “Accounting and Disclosure Guidance for the Foreign Earnings Repatriation Provision within the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004”, which provides accounting and disclosure guidance for the foreign earnings repatriation provision within the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004. The Act provides special one-time dividends received deduction on the repatriation of certain foreign earnings to a U.S. taxpayer. FSP FASB 109-2 provides for a period of time beyond the financial reporting period of enactment for a company to evaluate the effect of the Act on its plan for reinvestment or repatriation of foreign earnings. The Company is in the process of evaluating the effects of one-time repatriation opportunities provided by the Act. At the time of filing these statements, the Company cannot reasonably estimate the income tax effects of such repatriation under the Act.

18.     Subsequent Event

      On May 3, 2005, Oracle announced that it has exercised its purchase option to acquire PeopleSoft’s development center in Bangalore, India operated by the Company. The transfer of this center is expected to be completed by the end of October 2005, upon which the employees of the center (approximately 500 at March 31, 2005) will become employees of Oracle. Revenue generated from this development center for the Company was approximately $8.4 million and $4.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2004 and the quarter ended March 31, 2005, respectively.

      Under terms of the agreement, Oracle will pay a buyout fee and an amount equal to the book value of the net assets related to this business. The Company does not believe that these payments will have a material effect on either the financial condition or results of operations of the Company in 2005. The Company is continuing to analyze the underlying agreement to determine the final financial impact of the transfer of these assets.

      The following section should be read in conjunction with our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and related Notes appearing in this Form 10-Q. With the exception of statements regarding historical matters and statements concerning our current status, certain matters discussed in this “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” are forward-looking statements that involve substantial risks and uncertainties. Such forward-looking statements may be identified by the words “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “expect” or “intend” and similar expressions. Our actual results, performance or achievements could differ materially from these forward-looking statements.

      Factors that could cause or contribute to such material differences include internal control weaknesses, impact of changes in estimates on fixed price projects, variability of operating results, failure to recruit, train and retain skilled Information Technology (“IT”) professionals, exposure to regulatory, political and general economic conditions in India and Asia, short term nature and termination provisions of contracts, competition in the IT services industry, economic conditions unique to clients in specific industries, the success of the company to negotiate contract renewals at comparable terms, decline in profitability of European operations, public sector budget constraints, limited protection of intellectual property rights, and risks related to merger, acquisition and strategic investment strategy.

Overview

      We are a global technology services company, with a focus on industry-specific solutions, strategic outsourcing and integration solutions. We address the most challenging technology issues companies are facing through a unique onsite, offsite, offshore delivery model that helps clients achieve rapid deployment and reduced costs. We offer high-level subject matter expertise in the public sector industry, as well as years of experience in retail, healthcare, distribution, manufacturing, financial services, telecommunications and utilities. We apply our industry-specific knowledge to deliver a wide range of outsourcing and integration services, including: application maintenance and development outsourcing (AMD/ O); custom application development; e-business services; packaged software implementation, upgrades and enhancements; and other services. Our strategy is to establish long-term client relationships and to secure additional engagements with existing clients by providing quality services and by being responsive to client needs.

      We generally assume responsibility for project management and may bill the client on either a time-and-materials or fixed-price basis. We recognize revenues on time-and-materials engagements as the services are performed. On fixed-price engagements, we recognize revenues under the percentage of completion method except for fixed-price outsourcing contracts where we recognize revenues ratably over the applicable period. For the three month periods ended March 31, 2005 and 2004, approximately 40% and 37%, respectively, of our total revenues were generated from fixed-price engagements.

      Our most significant cost is project personnel cost, which consists primarily of salaries, wages and benefits for our IT professionals. We strive to maintain our gross profit margin by controlling project costs and managing salaries and benefits relative to billing rates. We use a human resource management team to ensure that IT professionals are quickly placed on assignments to minimize nonbillable time and are placed on assignments that use their technical skills and allow for maximum billing rates.

      In an effort to sustain our growth and profitability, we have made and continue to make substantial investments in our infrastructure, including: (1) development centers in the United States and India; (2) system methodologies; and (3) internal systems.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

      The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, revenues and expenses and related disclosures in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. We regularly evaluate and discuss with our Audit Committee the accounting policies and estimates we use to prepare our consolidated financial statements. Estimates are used for, but not limited to, revenue recognition under the percentage-of-completion method, impairment assessments of goodwill and other long-lived assets, realization of deferred tax assets, allowance for doubtful accounts, and litigation related contingencies. These estimates are based on historical experience, project management, and various assumptions that we believe to be reasonable given the particular facts and circumstances. Although we believe that our estimates, assumptions and judgments are reasonable, they are based upon information presently available. Actual results could differ significantly from these estimates under different assumptions, judgments or conditions.

      The Securities and Exchange Commission has defined “critical accounting policies” as those that are most important to the portrayal of a company’s financial condition and results of operations, and which require the Company to make its most difficult and subjective judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates. Based on this definition, we have identified the critical accounting policies discussed below. We have other significant accounting policies, which also involve the use of estimates, judgments and assumptions that are integral to understanding our results of operations. For a complete discussion of all significant accounting policies, see Note 1 of our Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in our 2004 Form 10-K.

      The following is an overview discussion of our critical accounting policies.

      Revenue Recognition. We recognize revenue in accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104, for our time-and-materials and fixed price outsourcing contracts. For those service contracts which are billed on a time and materials basis, we recognize revenues as the services are performed. In our time and materials contracts our effort, measured by our time incurred, represents the contractual milestones or output measure which is the contractual earnings pattern. For our fixed price IT outsourcing and maintenance contracts, we recognize revenue ratably over the applicable outsourcing or maintenance period as the services are performed continuously over the contract period.

      For our contracts to design, develop or modify complex information systems based upon the client’s specifications, we recognize revenue on a percentage of completion basis in accordance with Statement of Position 81-1. The percentage of completion is determined by relating the actual cost of labor performed to date to the estimated total cost of labor for each contract. Estimates of total contract revenues and costs are continuously monitored during the term of the contract, and recorded revenues and costs are subject to revision as the contract progresses. Such revisions, which may result in increases or decreases to revenue and income, are reflected in the financial statements in the period in which they are first identified. If the estimate indicates a loss on a particular contract, a provision is made for the entire estimated loss without reference to the percentage of completion.

      Covansys periodically enters into contracts that include multiple-element arrangements, which may include any combination of services, software, support/ maintenance, and the re-sale of hardware or software. Contracts entered into after June 30, 2003 containing multiple elements or deliverables are segmented into

separate units of accounting where the separate elements represent separate earnings processes in accordance with EITF 00-21. Revenues are allocated among the elements based on the relative fair values of the elements and are recognized in accordance with our policies for the separate elements unless the undelivered elements are essential to the functionality of the delivered elements. In circumstances where an undelivered element is essential to the functionality of the delivered element, no revenue is recognized for the delivered element until the undelivered element is delivered.

      Retainages, which are not material for any of the periods presented, are included in revenue earned in excess of billings in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. Revenue earned in excess of billings is primarily comprised of revenue recognized on certain contracts in excess of contractual billings on such contracts. Billings in excess of revenue earned are classified as deferred revenue.

      Impairment of Long-Lived Assets. We review the recoverability of our long-lived assets, including property and equipment when events or changes in circumstances occur that indicate that the carrying value of the asset may not be recoverable and goodwill on an annual basis. The assessment of possible impairment is based on our ability to recover the carrying value of the asset from expected future pre-tax cash flows of the related asset group or operating segment. If these cash flows are less than the carrying value of such asset, an impairment loss is recognized for the difference between estimated fair value and carrying value. The measurement of impairment requires management to make estimates of these cash flows related to long-lived assets, as well as other fair value determinations.

      Computer Software. We perform research to develop software for various business applications. The costs of such research are charged to expense when incurred. When the technological feasibility of the product is established, subsequent costs are capitalized. Capitalized software costs are amortized on a product-by-product basis. Amortization is recorded on the straight-line method over the estimated economic life of the product, generally five years, commencing when such product is available. The establishment of technological feasibility and the ongoing assessment of the recoverability of these costs requires considerable judgment by management with respect to certain external factors including, but not limited to, anticipated future gross product revenue, estimated economic product lives and changes in software and hardware technology. These assumptions are reevaluated and adjusted as necessary at the end of each accounting period. Management reviews the valuation and amortization of capitalized development costs. We periodically consider the value of future cash flows attributable to the capitalized development costs in evaluating potential impairment of the asset. Amounts charged to expense for research and development of computer software were not material in the periods indicated.

      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 basis. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured 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. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.

      Realization of deferred tax assets associated with the Company’s future deductible temporary differences and net operating loss carryforwards is dependent upon generating sufficient taxable income prior to their expiration. Although realization of the deferred tax assets is not assured, management believes it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will be realized through future taxable income. On a quarterly basis, management assesses whether it remains more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will be realized.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

      As of March 31, 2005, the Company had cash and short-term investments of $78.7 million. The Company funds its operations and working capital needs through internally generated funds. Cash provided from operations in the first quarter of 2005 was $9.4 million which included the use of cash for working capital of $1.8 million.

      Investing activities used $2.7 million in cash, principally for the enhancement and development of the Company’s offshore software development centers.

      To facilitate future cash flow needs, the Company has a credit facility which provides for borrowings or standby and commercial letters of credit up to $30.0 million through December 28, 2005.

      The Credit Agreement contains financial covenants which require the Company to maintain a certain interest coverage ratio, leverage ratio and a minimum total capitalization. At March 31, 2005, the Company was in compliance with these ratios. At March 31, 2005, the Company had no borrowings and $9.2 million in outstanding letters of credit under this Credit Agreement. The Credit Agreement also includes a covenant which restricts the Company’s ability to repurchase shares of its common stock without the prior approval of the Lender.

      Financing activities provided $.9 million in cash from the exercise of stock options.

      The Company has no off-balance sheet transactions.

Results of Operations

      Revenue and gross profit by segment are as follows:

      Revenue:     Revenue was $104.3 million and $84.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively. Revenue from the commercial segment was $61.6 million, an increase of 5.5% over 2004 revenue of $58.4 million. During the fourth quarter of 2004, the Company continued to perform services for one of its significant customers after it had reached the authorized spending limit on a time and material contract. While the Company believed it would be paid for these services, management concluded that it did not have a legally enforceable contractual right to the revenue at December 31, 2004. As a result, in accordance with the Company’s revenue recognition policies and Staff Accounting Bulletin 104, the Company recognized the costs for these services but did not recognize any revenue for these services in the fourth quarter of 2004, which negatively impacted fourth quarter 2004 revenue and gross profit by approximately $3.5 million. In the first quarter of 2005, the Company received the contract which covered these services and recognized the revenue with a corresponding increase in gross profit.

      Public Sector revenue was $25.9 million in the first quarter of 2005 compared with $18.8 million in the comparable 2004 period. The increase in revenue is due to fewer adjustments in the estimated cost to

complete on certain fixed price contract in respect of which the Company recognizes revenue on a percentage of completion basis. These adjustments resulted in the Company not recognizing approximately $3.7 million of revenue in the first quarter of 2004 which would have been recognized had the estimates to complete not required adjustment. In addition, public sector revenue was also impacted by a $5.5 million adjustment in the first quarter of 2004 related to management’s reassessment of the collectibility of outstanding billed and unbilled receivables associated with troubled projects. In accordance with the application of percentage of completion accounting, the Company reflected the changes as a contract price adjustment, and accordingly as a reduction in revenue.

      India/Asia revenue increased $10.6 million on a full attribution basis to $38.3 million compared with $27.7 million in 2004 and reflect the continued shift to a higher utilization of Indian resources, the transfer of certain commercial segment customer relationships to the region on existing customers, in addition to the additional revenue from the Company’s Master Services Agreement with FIS signed in the second quarter of 2004.

      On May 3, 2005, Oracle announced that it has exercised its purchase option to acquire PeopleSoft’s development center in Bangalore, India operated by the Company. The transfer of this center is expected to be completed by the end of October 2005, upon which the employees of the center (approximately 500 at March 31, 2005) will become employees of Oracle. Revenue generated from this development center for the Company was approximately $8.4 million and $4.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2004 and the quarter ended March 31, 2005, respectively.

      Under terms of the agreement, Oracle will pay a buyout fee and an amount equal to the book value of the net assets related to this business. The Company does not believe that these payments will have a material effect on either the financial condition or results of operations of the Company in 2005. The Company is continuing to analyze the underlying agreement to determine the final financial impact of the transfer of these assets.

      Gross Profit.     Gross profit was $30.3 million or 29.1% of revenue in 2005 compared with $14.9 million or 17.5% of revenue in 2004. Gross profit increased in both dollars and as a percentage of revenue. Gross profit and related gross profit percentage were negatively impacted in the first quarter of 2004 by the reassessment of costs on a lost contract, adjustments to estimates of the cost to complete as discussed above, as well as adjustments of certain unbilled fixed price contract receivables based on perceived collection risk. These adjustments had a negative effect of approximately $9.4 million on gross profit in 2004.

      Commercial segment gross profit was $20.3 million or 33.0% of revenue in 2005 compared with $14.4 million or 24.6% of revenue in 2004. The gross profit improvement is due in part from additional offshore work performed by resources in India. In addition, during the fourth quarter of 2004, the Company continued to perform services for one of its significant customers after it had reached the authorized spending limit on a time and material contract. While the Company believed it would be paid for its services, management concluded that it did not have a legally enforceable contractual right to the revenue as of December 31, 2004. As a result, in accordance with the Company’s revenue recognition policies and Staff Accounting Bulletin 104, the Company recognized the costs for these services in the fourth quarter of 2004, but did not recognize the related revenue. Gross profit was negatively impacted in the fourth quarter of 2004 by approximately $3.5 million. In the first quarter of 2005, the Company received a contract which covered these services and recognized the revenue in the first quarter of 2005, with a corresponding impact in gross profit.

      Gross profit (loss) for the public sector segment was $5.2 million or 20.2% of segment revenue in 2005 compared with $(2.4) million or 12.8% of segment revenue in 2004. Gross profit in 2004 was negatively impacted by performance on certain fixed price projects as well as the adjustment of certain unbilled fixed price contract receivables based on perceived collection risk. All but one of these projects have been completed and actions have been taken to address the remaining challenged project.

      India/Asia gross profit increased from $3.5 million in the first quarter of 2004 to $5.4 million in the first quarter of 2005 due to increased levels of revenue, including the additional revenue from the Company’s Master Services Agreement with FIS signed in the second quarter of 2004.

      Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses were $18.9 million or 18.1% of revenue in 2005 compared with $19.3 million or 22.7% of revenue in 2004. Included in 2004 amounts is $1.0 million related to the writeoff of missing and obsolete equipment and purchased software (see Note 6). Included in 2005 amounts are higher costs associated with professional fees associated with the consultation and external auditing for the implementation of Sarbanes-Oxley Section 404 and higher costs associated with the restatement of prior year financial statements. See the Company’s 2004 Annual Report on Form 10-K for additional information surrounding the restatement.

      Interest Expense. Interest expense of $.2 million was recorded in the first quarter of 2005 on a $17.5 million note issued in connection with the FIS/CDR transaction (see Note 2) and fees in connection with the Credit Agreement (see Note 15).

      Other Income, Net. Other income, net represents interest earned and realized gains and losses from the sale of cash equivalents and short-term investments and foreign currency gains and losses. Included in the amount for 2005 and 2004 are translation gains and (losses) of $.2 million and ($.7) million, respectively from the remeasurement of nonfunctional currency net asset positions into the functional currency of the respective foreign subsidiary.

      Provision for Income Taxes. The effective rate was 32.0% and 33.8% in 2005 and 2004, respectively. The effective rate is based on the estimated tax rate for the year and is driven by the inclusion of subpart F income and certain nondeductible travel related expenses in the U.S., along with the impact of foreign tax rates being different than domestic tax rates.

Recently Issued Financial Accounting Standards

      In December 2004 the FASB issued FAS 123R, “Share-Based Payment,” that requires companies to expense the value of employee stock options and similar awards. The effective date for application by public companies is annual periods beginning after June 15, 2005. FAS 123R applies to all outstanding and unvested share-based payment awards at a company’s adoption date. FAS 123R allows alternative transition methods. The Company has not yet selected a transition method. Management is presently reviewing the impact on our results of operation and financial position from implementing FAS 123R.

      In December 2004, the FASB issued a FASB Staff Position (FSP) 109-2 “Accounting and Disclosure Guidance for the Foreign Earnings Repatriation Program within the American Job Creation Act of 2004”, which provides accounting and disclosure guidance for the foreign earnings repatriation provision within the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004. The Act provides special one-time dividends received deduction on the repatriation of certain foreign earnings to a U.S. taxpayer. FSP FASB 109-2 provides for a period of time beyond the financial reporting period of enactment for a company to evaluate the effect of the Act on its plan for reinvestment or repatriation of foreign earnings. The Company is in the process of evaluating the one-time repatriation opportunities provided by the Act. At the time of filing these statements, the Company cannot reasonably estimate the income tax effects of such repatriation under the Act.

Commitments, Contingencies and Potential Liability to Clients

      The Company is, from time to time, party to ordinary, routine litigation incidental to the Company’s business. After discussion with its legal counsel, the Company does not believe that the ultimate resolution of any existing matter will have a material adverse effect on its financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

      In addition, many of the Company’s engagements involve projects that are critical to the operations of its clients’ businesses and provide benefits that may be difficult to quantify. The Company attempts to contractually limit its liability for damages arising from errors, mistakes, omissions or negligent acts in rendering its services. The Company has undertaken engagements for which the Company guarantees its performance based upon defined client specifications on delivery dates. Certain engagements have required the Company to obtain a performance bond from a licensed surety, to guarantee performance, and to post the performance bond with the client. The Company intends to satisfy all of its performance obligations with its clients and does not anticipate defaulting on any of these performance bonds or letters of credit.

Item 3.     Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

      We are exposed to market risk for the effect of foreign currency fluctuations and interest rate changes. Information relating to quantitative and qualitative disclosure about market risk is set forth below and in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations — Liquidity and Capital Resources.

     Foreign Exchange Risk

      Foreign currency fluctuations during the three months ended March 31, 2005 and 2004 resulted in a translation gain (loss) of approximately $210 and $(718), respectively, from the remeasurement of nonfunctional currency net asset positions into the functional currency of the respective foreign subsidiary. The Company may use derivatives from time to time to hedge against foreign currency fluctuations. The Company had no outstanding derivative position as of March 31, 2005 or December 31, 2004. The Company does not speculate in foreign currency.

     Interest Rate Risk

      Our exposure to market risk for changes in interest rates relates primarily to our cash and short-term investment portfolio, a short term note receivable and debt (all due within one year), which were $78.6 million, $2.8 million and $17.5 million, respectively, as of March 31, 2005. All of our short-term investments are designated as available-for-sale and, accordingly, are presented at fair value in the consolidated balance sheet. A portion of our short term investments are in mutual funds. Mutual funds may have their fair market value adversely affected due to a rise in interest rates, and we may suffer losses in principal if forced to sell securities that have declined in market value due to changes in interest rates. The note receivable and debt are priced with variable interest rates which approximate market.

Item 4.     Controls and Procedures

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

      The Company maintains controls and procedures designed to ensure that it is able to collect the information that is required to be disclosed in the reports it files with the SEC, and to process, summarize and disclose this information within the time period specified by the rules of the SEC. The Company’s Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer are responsible for establishing, maintaining and enhancing these controls and procedures. Based on their evaluation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2005 the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective for the reasons discussed below.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting and Management’s Remediation Initiatives

      The Company’s internal control over financial reporting is the responsibility of the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer. To fulfill this responsibility, management has continued to enhance internal controls and increase the oversight over those affected controls. Management has also taken corrective action with regard to identified significant deficiencies and material weaknesses.

      As a result of management’s evaluation of internal control over financial reporting, certain material weaknesses were identified as set forth in Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting, included in the Company’s 2004 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Management is currently

addressing these material weaknesses through a number of initiatives including those specifically set forth below.

      Revenue Contract Accounting: In the first quarter of 2005, the Company engaged in a thorough process to organize and catalogue its customer contracts in preparation of the integration of its contract information into a module of its ERP system. This process confirmed that measures implemented by the Company at the end of the second quarter of 2004 had strengthened the Company’s revenue recognition processes by requiring that contract documentation for new engagements be presented to and/or confirmed by the Legal Department prior to recognition of revenue for that contract. There are still improvements required, however, to strengthen the design of the Company’s process to capture and validate the contractual terms which impact the Company’s recognition of revenue. In conjunction with the contract organization process and in preparation of the year-end consolidated financial statements, management reviewed substantially all of its contracts that contain a fee limitation cap to confirm that revenue recognized did not exceed the fee limitation cap. It was through this process that the revenue adjustment associated with the contract disclosed in Note 22 of the consolidated financial statements in the 2004 Form 10-K was identified and recorded during the fourth quarter 2004 closing process. The Company is continuing to develop procedures to improve the flow of information between its legal, finance and field operations, which procedures will include:

      Percentage of Completion Accounting: In November 2003, the Company disclosed a material weakness in its internal controls related to the Company’s application of the percentage-of-completion method of accounting for its fixed price contracts. The Company has implemented a multi-part plan to strengthen controls of fixed price contracts and to enhance the processes supporting application of the percentage-of-completion method of accounting for its fixed price contracts. As of December 31, 2004, however, management concluded that the material weakness had not been adequately remediated. Specifically, management determined that the initiatives encompassed in that plan had not been fully implemented and were not yet operating effectively. Since the material weakness was identified in 2003, management has implemented the following;

      The Company believes the foregoing measures strengthened its accounting policies with regard to percentage-of-completion accounting, but that such measures did not include a consistent risk-adjusted methodology for project managers to use in their estimates of costs to complete on percentage of completion projects. The Company will continue to strengthen its processes in this area in 2005 through;

      Net Property and Equipment: At the conclusion of a physical inventory process undertaken by the Company in June 2004, the Company identified a charge of $2.6 million for assets that could not be located or were no longer in use. This process resulted in a restatement of previously issued financial statements for 2003, 2002, and 2001 and in the Company reporting a material weakness related to the Company’s recording and tracking of fixed assets in its Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2004. Additionally, as discussed in Note 2 of the consolidated financial statements in the 2004 Form 10-K as part of the year-end closing process, management discovered that a consolidating entry to properly record inter-company property and equipment transactions on the balance sheet at December 31, 2003, and at quarterly balance sheets through September 30, 2004, was classified within accumulated comprehensive income in error. This balance sheet misclassification has been corrected in the financial statements in 2004. Since June 2004, the Company has successfully accomplished the following items of its plan to strengthen accounting for its fixed assets:

      The Company anticipates implementing a transaction level fixed asset module within the Company’s ERP system to integrate the tracking of its fixed assets no later than the third quarter 2005.

      Income Taxes: As part of its 2004 year-end closing process, the Company identified errors (disclosed in Note 2 of the consolidated financial statements in the 2004 Form 10-K) when reconciling its cumulative temporary difference and contingent tax liabilities to recorded amounts. Management will strengthen controls over this area in 2005 by enlisting additional tax expertise either within the Company or through more effective use and oversight of third party tax service providers.

      Leases (Step-Rents): As part of its 2004 year-end closing process, it was concluded that straight-line rent expense for the Company’s headquarters had been incorrectly accrued and that the related lease expense for prior periods was incorrect. This error was determined to be a material weakness in internal controls and resulted in a restatement of prior period financial statements. The Company has recently implemented controls to reduce the risk of such an error in the future through implementation of a comprehensive lease review checklist, review of each significant lease for proper accounting treatment by the Company’s controller, and limiting execution of all property leases by the Company’s Chief Financial Officer or authorized designee.

PART II.     OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.     Legal Proceedings

      On July 24, 2004, Covansys reached an agreement with Indiana Marion County Prosecutor to voluntary make a restitution payment of $204,000 and a payment of $50,000 for investigation costs arising from an alleged violation of contract and procurement regulations. Covansys agreed to make the payments in lieu of protracted legal proceedings. The payments related to a contract between Covansys and the Indiana Family and Social Services Administration (“FSSA”). During 2002, Covansys did not receive written confirmation that FSSA had obtained a written waiver of the competitive bidding requirement for the hardware and software components of the contract. The agreement with the Marion County Prosecutor does not inhibit the Company’s ability to obtain any additional work from FSSA or any other agency of the State of Indiana. The Company has accrued these amounts as of March 31, 2004.

      The Company’s previous independent registered public accounting firm has notified the Company that it received a letter from the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) dated October 22, 2004 requesting certain information about the Company relating to the period January 1, 2001 to the present.

Segen, derivatively on behalf of Covansys Corporation versus CDR-Cookie Acquisition, L.L.C., Clayton, Dubilier & Rice Fund VI Limited Partnership, CD&R Associates VI Limited Partnership, CD&R Investment Associates VI, Inc., and Covansys Corporation. The case is filed in the U.S. Southern District Court for the Southern District of New York case no. 05CV3509. The derivative claim seeks recovery under Section 16(b) of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 to obtain disgorgement of profits of CD&R related to the recapitalization transaction consummated with the CD&R entities in September 2004.
