NOTE 1. GENERAL
The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). The interim condensed consolidated financial statements include the consolidated accounts of Perot Systems Corporation and its majority-owned subsidiaries (collectively, the Company) with all significant intercompany transactions eliminated. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair statement of the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented have been made. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such SEC rules and regulations. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2002, as filed in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 12, 2003. Operating results for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2003, are not necessarily indicative of the results for the year ending December 31, 2003.
Certain of the 2002 amounts in the accompanying financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation.
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q supercedes the financial information contained in the Companys press release dated July 29, 2003, and attached to the Current Report on Form 8-K filed the same date, announcing its second quarter financial results.
Change in Accounting Principle for Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables
The Company has long-term fixed-price contracts that include multiple deliverables. Prior to January 1, 2003, the Company recognized revenue on these contracts under the percentage-of-completion method using incurred costs as a measure of progress towards completion. On November 21, 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board Emerging Issues Task Force reached a consensus on Issue No. 00-21, Accounting for Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables (EITF 00-21), regarding whether an arrangement involving multiple deliverables contains more than one unit of accounting and how arrangement consideration should be measured and allocated to the separate units of accounting in an arrangement. The Company was required to apply the provisions of EITF 00-21 to all new agreements with multiple deliverables entered into in fiscal periods beginning after June 15, 2003. Alternatively, the Company was permitted to apply EITF 00-21 to existing agreements and record the effect of adoption as the cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle. On January 1, 2003, the Company adopted EITF 00-21 and changed its method of accounting for revenue from agreements with multiple deliverables for both existing and prospective customer contracts.
The Companys adoption of EITF 00-21 on January 1, 2003, resulted in an expense for the cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle of $69,288 ($42,959, net of the applicable income tax benefit), or $0.37 per diluted share, which includes approximately $19,500 of expense (approximately $12,090, net of the applicable income tax benefit), or $0.11 per diluted share, to recognize an estimated loss on a contract element included in a contract that the Company expected to be profitable in the aggregate over its term.
For contracts including multiple deliverables meeting the separation criteria of EITF 00-21, the Company allocates the total arrangement consideration to each separate unit of accounting based on the relative fair values of the deliverables in each unit of accounting and recognizes revenue based on the Companys revenue recognition policy applicable to each separate unit of accounting. In general, EITF 00-21 limits the amount of revenue allocated to an individual deliverable under an agreement to the lesser of its relative fair value or the amount not contingent on the Companys performance of other deliverable elements under the agreement, regardless of the probability of the Companys performance.

Long-term accrued revenue on in-progress fixed-price contracts totaled $7,006 and $74,489 at June 30, 2003, and December 31, 2002, respectively.
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company has elected to follow Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees (APB 25), and related interpretations in accounting for its employee stock options. Under APB 25, compensation expense is recorded when the exercise price of employee stock options is less than the fair value of the underlying stock on the date of grant. The Company has implemented the disclosure-only provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards Board No. (FAS) 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, and FAS 148, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation Transition and Disclosure. Had the Company elected to adopt the expense recognition provisions of FAS 123, the pro forma impact on net income (loss) and earnings (loss) per share would have been as follows:

With the exception of certain grants with cliff vesting and acceleration features, the expected life of each grant was generally estimated to be a period equal to one half of the vesting period, plus one year, for all periods presented. The expected life for cliff vesting grants was equal to the vesting period, and the expected life for grants with acceleration features was estimated to be equal to the midpoint of the vesting period.

Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 46
In January 2003, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 46, Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities (FIN 46), an interpretation of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51, Consolidated Financial Statements, which changes the criteria for consolidation by business enterprises of variable interest entities. FIN 46 requires a variable interest entity to be consolidated by a company if that company is subject to a majority of the risk of loss from the variable interest entitys activities or entitled to receive a majority of the entitys residual returns or both. The consolidation requirements of FIN 46 apply immediately to variable interest entities created after January 31, 2003, and apply in the first fiscal period beginning after June 15, 2003, for variable interest entities created prior to February 1, 2003. FIN 46 may be applied prospectively with a cumulative-effect adjustment as of the date on which it is first applied or by restating previously issued financial statements for one or more years with a cumulative-effect adjustment as of the beginning of the first year restated.
The Company has an operating lease contract with a variable interest entity (also called a special purpose entity) for the use of land and office buildings in Plano, Texas, including a data center facility. The Company currently does not consolidate this entity. However, the Company will be required to consolidate this entity beginning in the third quarter of 2003. Upon consolidation of this entity, the Company will increase its assets and long-term debt by approximately $66,300 and $75,500, respectively, and begin recording additional depreciation expense of approximately $3,200 per year. The assets will be recorded as land, buildings, improvements and equipment.
The Company has not yet determined whether to restate any previously issued financial statements in connection with the adoption of FIN 46. If the Company elects to apply FIN 46 on a prospective basis, the Company would record a cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle of approximately $8,700 (approximately $5,400, net of the applicable income tax benefit) in the third quarter of 2003, representing primarily the cumulative depreciation expense on the buildings, improvements and equipment through June 30, 2003.
NOTE 2. ACQUISITIONS
Soza & Company, Ltd.
On February 20, 2003, the Company acquired Soza & Company, Ltd. (Soza), a professional services company that provides information technology, management consulting, financial services and environmental services primarily to public sector customers. As a result of the acquisition, the Company increased its customer base and service offerings in its Government Services segment.
The purchase price includes $72,778 in cash (net of $2,222 of cash acquired), including $5,000 of which is being held in an escrow account for up to two years, and may include additional payments totaling up to $32,000 in cash or stock over the next two years. The possible future payments are contingent upon Soza achieving certain financial targets over the same period, and at the Companys discretion, up to 70% of these payments may be settled in Class A Common Stock of the Company. The results of operations of Soza and the estimated fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed are included in the Companys condensed consolidated financial statements beginning on the acquisition date.
The allocation of the excess of the purchase price over the net assets acquired is pending completion of the tangible asset appraisal and a contractual purchase price adjustment period; however, the estimated excess purchase price (in the amount of $51,357) was recorded as goodwill on the condensed consolidated balance sheets, was assigned to the Government Services segment, and is not deductible for tax purposes.

During the first six months of 2003, the Company determined that financial performance targets for two acquisitions were achieved. As a result, an additional $10,000 in cash was paid to the previous owners of Advanced Receivable Strategy, Inc. (ARS), and the related goodwill was assigned to the IT Solutions segment and is deductible for tax purposes. The Company acquired substantially all of the assets of ARS in 2001. In addition, the Company paid $3,000 to the previous shareholders of ADI Technology Corporation (ADI), which the Company acquired in 2002. Also during the first six months of 2003, the Company recorded a purchase price adjustment for ADI based on the completion of a contractual purchase price adjustment period, which reduced goodwill by $2,985.

The increase in the number of shares of Class A Common Stock is due to the exercise of options and the issuance of shares to participants in the Employee Stock Purchase Plan.
NOTE 6. EXITING OF BUSINESS RELATIONSHIPS
During the three months ended June 30, 2003, the Company exited an
under-performing contract that included a software development project in which
the actual development costs were expected to exceed the estimated costs as
stated in the contract. While the contract provides for the Company to collect
most of the excess of the actual cost over the estimate in the contract, the
Company and its client were unable to reach
Page 8
PEROT SYSTEMS CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES agreement on the timing and form of payment for the excess. As a result, the
Company recorded $17,676 of expense in direct cost of services, which is
composed of the following:
In the second quarter of 2002, the Company began to expect that the application
development project would generate a loss. However, the Company did not
recognize a loss on the contract at that time because it expected that the
contract would be profitable in the aggregate over its term. As part of the
Companys adoption of EITF 00-21 in the first quarter of 2003, the Company
separated the deliverables in the contract into separate units of accounting
and recognized an estimated loss on the application development project
totaling approximately $19,500 (approximately $12,090, net of the applicable
income tax benefit), or $0.11 per diluted share, which was recorded as part of
the cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle.
The Company is providing the services necessary to transition certain functions
back to the client. The Company expects the transition to end in the fourth
quarter of 2003.
During the three months ended June 30, 2002, the Company terminated a certain
business relationship. As a result, the Company received a termination fee of
$7,289 and incurred expenses of $759 that were recorded in revenue and direct
costs of services, respectively. In addition, in connection with this
termination, the Company reduced a deferred tax asset valuation allowance,
resulting in an income tax benefit of $1,565.
NOTE 7. SEGMENT DATA
The Companys operations are classified into three primary lines of business,
which are also reportable segments. These lines of business are IT Solutions,
Government Services, and Consulting. The IT Solutions segment provides
services to customers primarily under long-term contracts in strategic
relationships. These services include technology and business process
outsourcing, as well as industry domain-based short-term project and consulting
capabilities. The Government Services segment provides consulting and
technology-based business process solutions for the Department of Defense and
various other governmental agencies. The Consulting segment provides services
related to business and technical expertise and the design and implementation
of business and software solutions, primarily under short-term contracts
related to specific projects. The Companys remaining operating areas and
corporate activities are included in Other and include profits and expenses
that are not related to the operations of the other reportable segments.
The reporting segments follow the same accounting policies used for the
Companys condensed consolidated financial statements. The Company evaluates
segment performance based on income (loss) from operations before income taxes,
exclusive of profits and expenses that are included in the Other category.
All corporate and centrally incurred costs are allocated to the segments based
principally on expenses, employees, square footage, or usage.

During the second quarter of 2003, the Company recorded $17,676 of expense in direct cost of services associated with exiting an under-performing contract, which is included in the IT Solutions segment. In addition, as discussed below in Note 8, the Company revised its estimates to complete its previous years streamlining efforts, resulting in a reduction in selling, general and administrative expenses of $5,415, which is included in the Other category.
During the second quarter of 2002, the Company recorded $7,289 of revenue associated with the termination of a certain business relationship, and this revenue is included in the IT Solutions segment. Because of the nature of this revenue, the Company has reported the related gross profit of $6,530 in Other. Also included in Other are a payment received from a customer in bankruptcy that was previously believed to be unrecoverable, severance and other costs to exit certain activities, and expenses associated with the California energy investigations and related litigation.
NOTE 8. REALIGNED OPERATING STRUCTURE
During 2001, the Company realigned its operating structure in order to strengthen the Companys market position and reduce its costs. This realignment resulted in charges of $74,690, of which $33,713 was recorded during the first quarter of 2001 and $40,977 was recorded during the third quarter of 2001. In 2002, the Company continued efforts to streamline its operations and recorded charges of $8,151 in the second quarter and $2,936 in the third quarter related to severance and other costs to exit certain activities.
The payments made against these charges during the first six months of 2003 are as follows:

During the second quarter of 2002, the Company reduced a deferred tax asset valuation allowance of $1,565 in connection with the termination of a certain business relationship. Without the effect of this $1,565 tax benefit, the effective tax rate for the second quarter of 2002 would have been 39.5%.

NOTE 11. CONTINGENCIES
Litigation
The Company is, from time to time, involved in various litigation matters arising in the ordinary course of its business. The Company believes that the outcomes of these litigation matters, either individually or taken as a whole, will not have a material adverse effect on the Companys consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
IPO Allocation Securities Litigation
In July and August 2001, Perot Systems, as well as some of its current and former officers and the investment banks that underwrote Perot Systems initial public offering, were named as defendants in two purported class action lawsuits. These lawsuits, Seth Abrams v. Perot Systems Corp. et al. and Adrian Chin v. Perot Systems, Inc. et al., were filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. The suits allege violations of Rule 10b-5, promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and Sections 11, 12(a)(2) and 15 of the Securities Act of 1933. Approximately 300 issuers and 40 investment banks have been sued in similar cases. The suits against the issuers and underwriters have been consolidated for pretrial purposes in the IPO Allocation Securities Litigation. The lawsuit involving Perot Systems focuses on alleged improper practices by the investment banks in connection with Perot Systems initial public offering in February 1999. The plaintiffs allege that the investment banks, in exchange for allocating public offering shares to their customers, received undisclosed commissions from their customers on the purchase of securities and required their customers to purchase additional Perot Systems shares in aftermarket trading. The lawsuit also alleges that the Company should have disclosed in its public offering prospectus the alleged practices of the investment banks, whether or not the Company was aware that the practices were occurring.
During 2002, the individual Perot Systems defendants were dismissed from the case. In exchange for the dismissal, the individual defendants entered agreements with the plaintiffs that toll the running of the statute of limitations and permit the plaintiffs to refile claims against them in the future. In February 2003, in response to the defendants motion to dismiss, the court dismissed the plaintiffs Rule 10b-5 claims against Perot Systems, but did not dismiss the remaining claims.
The Company has recently decided to accept a settlement proposal presented to all issuer defendants. Pursuant to the proposed settlement, plaintiffs would dismiss and release all claims against the Company and its current and former officers and directors, in exchange for an assurance by the insurance companies collectively responsible for insuring the issuers in all of the IPO cases that the plaintiffs will achieve a minimum recovery (including amounts recovered from the underwriters), and for the assignment or surrender of certain claims the Company may have against the underwriters. The Company would not be required to make any cash payment with respect to the settlement. The proposed settlement requires approval of an unspecified percentage of issuers. The proposed settlement would also require court approval, which cannot be assured. In the event that the settlement is not completed, the Company will continue to vigorously defend itself in this case.

Litigation Relating to the California Energy Market
In June 2002, the Company was named as a defendant in a purported class action lawsuit that alleges that it conspired with energy traders to manipulate the California energy market. This lawsuit, Art Madrid v. Perot Systems Corporation et al., was filed in the Superior Court of California, County of San Diego.
In June, July and August 2002, Perot Systems, Ross Perot and Ross Perot, Jr., were named as defendants in eight purported class action lawsuits that allege violations of Rule 10b-5, and, in some of the cases, common law fraud. These suits allege that the Companys SEC filings contained material misstatements or omissions of material facts with respect to Perot Systems activities related to the California energy market. Two lawsuits, Herbert Condell v. Perot Systems Corp. et al. and Richard J. Dowling v. Perot Systems Corp. et al., were filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. Four lawsuits, Robert Markewich v. Perot Systems Corp. et al., Vincent Milano v. Perot Systems Corp. et al., Lori Will v. Perot Systems Corp. et al. and June Zordich v. Perot Systems Corp. et al., were filed in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Texas, Dallas Division. Two lawsuits, Joffre Berger v. Perot Systems Corp. et al., and Daniel Taubenfeld v. Perot Systems Corp. et al., were filed in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Texas, Sherman Division. All of these eight cases have been consolidated in the Northern District of Texas, Dallas Division.
The Company believes the claims against it are without merit and will vigorously defend itself in these cases.
Other Contingencies
Contract-Related Contingency
As discussed in note six, during the second quarter of 2003, the Company exited an under-performing contract that included a software development project in which the actual development costs were expected to exceed the estimated costs as stated in the contract. While the contract provides for the Company to collect most of the excess of the actual cost over the estimate in the contract, the Company and its client were unable to reach agreement on the timing and form of payment for the excess.
The Company is providing the services necessary to transition certain functions back to the client. The Company expects the transition to end in the fourth quarter of 2003.
As a result of the exiting of this contract, in the second quarter of 2003 the Company determined that certain contract-related assets were impaired and additional expenses would be incurred in the future related to exiting this contract, resulting in a loss of $17,676 recorded in direct cost of services. This estimated loss represents managements current estimate of the loss related to exiting this contract. The amount of actual loss with respect to exiting this contract may differ from the Companys current estimates.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Change in Accounting Principle for Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables
We have long-term fixed-price contracts that include multiple deliverables. Prior to January 1, 2003, we recognized revenue on these contracts under the percentage-of-completion method using incurred costs as a measure of progress towards completion. On November 21, 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board Emerging Issues Task Force reached a consensus on Issue No. 00-21, Accounting for Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables, regarding whether an arrangement involving multiple deliverables contains more than one unit of accounting and how arrangement consideration should be measured and allocated to the separate units of accounting in an arrangement. We were required to apply the provisions of EITF 00-21 to all new agreements with multiple deliverables entered into in fiscal periods beginning after June 15, 2003. Alternatively, we were permitted to apply EITF 00-21 to existing agreements and record the effect of adoption as the cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle. On January 1, 2003, we adopted EITF 00-21 and changed our method of accounting for revenue from agreements with multiple deliverables for both existing and prospective customer contracts.
Our adoption of EITF 00-21 on January 1, 2003, resulted in an expense for the cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle of $69.3 million ($43.0 million, net of the applicable income tax benefit), or $0.37 per diluted share, which includes approximately $19.5 million of expense (approximately $12.1 million, net of the applicable income tax benefit), or $0.11 per diluted share, to recognize an estimated loss on a contract element included in a contract that we expected to be profitable in the aggregate over its term. The $69.3 million expense was recorded as a reduction in long-term accrued revenue of $58.8 million and an increase in accrued liabilities of $10.5 million.
To illustrate the impact of the adoption of EITF 00-21 on our financial results for 2002, we have shown in the table below the pro forma revenue, gross profit, gross margin and net income (loss) as if EITF 00-21 had been applied during the three and six months ended June 30, 2002 (amounts in millions):

Exiting of a Customer Contract
During the three months ended June 30, 2003, we exited an under-performing contract that included a software development project in which the actual development costs were expected to exceed the estimated costs as stated in the contract. While the contract provides for us to collect most of the excess of the actual cost over the estimate in the contract, we and our client were unable to reach agreement on the timing and form of payment for the excess. As a result, we recorded $17.7 million of expense in direct cost of services, which is composed of the following:
Page 14
PEROT SYSTEMS CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
| The impairment of assets related to this contract totaling $20.7 million, including the impairment of $14.7 million of long-term accrued revenue; | |
| The accrual of estimated costs to exit this contract of $3.8 million; and | |
| Partially offsetting the above expenses was the reversal of $6.8 million in accrued liabilities that had been recognized for future losses that we expected to incur to complete the application development project. |
In the second quarter of 2002, we began to expect that the application development project would generate a loss. However, we did not recognize a loss on the contract at that time because we expected that the contract would be profitable in the aggregate over its term. As part of our adoption of EITF 00-21 in the first quarter of 2003, we separated the deliverables in the contract into separate units of accounting and recognized an estimated loss on the application development project totaling approximately $19.5 million (approximately $12.1 million, net of the applicable income tax benefit), or $0.11 per diluted share, which was recorded as part of the cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle. Of the $19.5 million estimate loss:
| $12.7 million is included in the pro forma gross profit for the second quarter of 2002 ($5.0 million as a reduction of revenue and $7.7 million as an increase in direct cost of services); and | |
| $14.8 million is included in the pro forma gross profit for the first six months of 2002 ($7.1 million as a reduction of revenue and $7.7 million as an increase in direct cost of services). |
We are providing the services necessary to transition certain functions back to the client. We expect the transition to end in the fourth quarter of 2003.
Comparison of the Three Months Ended June 30, 2003 and 2002
Revenue
Revenue for the second quarter of 2003 increased by $26.5 million, or 7.9%, to $360.0 million from revenue of $333.5 million in the second quarter of 2002. As noted above, we adopted EITF 00-21 effective January 1, 2003, which adjusted revenue recognized on existing contracts based on the new criteria of EITF 00-21 regarding whether an arrangement involving multiple deliverables contains more than one unit of accounting and how arrangement consideration should be measured and allocated to the separate units of accounting in an arrangement. The effect from this change in accounting is reflected above in the presentation of pro forma amounts for revenue, gross profit, gross margin and net income (loss) for the three months ended June 30, 2002. The following comparison of second quarter 2003 to second quarter 2002 was prepared using pro forma amounts for second quarter 2002.
Revenue for the second quarter of 2003 increased by $37.6 million, or 11.7%, compared to pro forma second quarter 2002 revenue of $322.4 million. This increase in revenue is due to an increase in revenue from the Government Services segment, partially offset by decreases in revenue from the IT Solutions and Consulting segments.
In July 2002, we acquired ADI Technology Corporation and formed our Government Services segment. In February 2003, we acquired Soza & Company, Ltd., which became part of our Government Services segment. Revenue from Government Services was $58.4 million for the second quarter of 2003.
Revenue from the IT Solutions segment decreased $19.4 million, or 6.3%, to
$287.5 million in the second quarter of 2003 from pro forma revenue of $306.9
million in the second quarter of 2002. This decrease was primarily
attributable to:
Page 15
Table of Contents
PEROT SYSTEMS CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
| a $15.5 million decrease from existing accounts, short-term offerings, and project work that is provided to customers within our long-term account base. Within our long-term client contracts we typically perform services above our base level of services. Given the discretionary nature of these additional services, the amount of these services that we provide to our customers may fluctuate from period to period depending on many factors, including economic conditions and specific client needs; | |
| a $17.9 million decrease in revenue as a result of exiting certain business relationships and under-performing delivery units during 2002, including two joint ventures; and | |
| a $4.5 million decrease from UBS to $59.9 million in 2003 from $64.4 million in 2002. |
These decreases in revenue were partially offset by an $18.5 million increase in revenue from contracts signed since the second quarter of 2002 with new customers.
Revenue from the Consulting segment decreased 8.1% to $13.7 million in the second quarter of 2003 from $14.9 million in the second quarter of 2002 due primarily to the weak demand for custom application solutions and package implementation services.
Gross Margin
Gross margin for the second quarter of 2003 of 14.7% of revenue was lower than the gross margin for the second quarter of 2002 of 25.0% and is lower than the pro forma gross margin for the second quarter of 2002 of 20.1%. The following items are important in understanding the decrease in gross margin as compared to the pro forma gross margin for 2002:
| In the second quarter of 2002, we recorded revenue of $7.3 million and direct cost of services of $0.8 million, resulting in gross profit of $6.5 million, associated with the termination of a certain business relationship; | |
| In the second quarter of 2002, we received a $3.0 million payment from a customer in bankruptcy reorganization that was previously believed to be unrecoverable; | |
| As discussed above in Exiting of a Customer Contract, the pro forma gross profit for the second quarter of 2002 includes a reduction of $12.7 million associated with the adoption of EITF 00-21 for this contract ($5.0 million as a reduction of revenue and $7.7 million as an increase in direct cost of services); and | |
| As discussed above in Exiting of a Customer Contract, in the second quarter of 2003 we recorded $17.7 million of expense in direct cost of services associated with the exiting of this contract. |
Without the effects of these items, gross margin for the second quarter of 2003 would have decreased to 19.6% of revenue from a gross margin of 21.2% in the second quarter of 2002 (calculated by adjusting the pro forma gross margin of 20.1% for the second quarter of 2002 for the 2002 items discussed above). The year over year decline in gross margin is primarily due to lower demand for short-term services, lower gross margins from contracts signed since the second quarter of 2002 with new customers, and lower profit margins from our Government Services segment.
Selling, General, and Administrative Expenses
Selling, general and administrative expenses for the second quarter of 2003
decreased 14.4% to $47.0 million from $54.9 million for the second quarter of
2002. SG&A for the second quarter of 2003 was 13.1% of revenue, which is lower
than SG&A for the second quarter of 2002 of 17.0% of pro forma revenue. In our
analysis of SG&A for the second quarters of 2003 and 2002, we identified the
following items that are important in understanding this change:
Page 16
Table of Contents
PEROT SYSTEMS CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
| During the second quarter of 2002, we recorded $8.1 million of expense in SG&A associated with the elimination of approximately 235 positions and the exiting of certain business operations and $3.5 million of expense associated with our response to investigations of the California energy crisis; and | |
| During the second quarter of 2003, we recorded $3.3 million of expense in SG&A related to severance and other costs to eliminate approximately 150 positions in various business functions and geographic areas. In addition, we recorded a reduction of expense of $5.4 million resulting from revising our estimate of liabilities associated with actions in previous years to streamline our operations, which included a favorable resolution of an employment dispute. |
Without the effects of these items, SG&A would have increased by $5.8 million, or 13.4%, to $49.1 million for the second quarter of 2003 from $43.3 million for the second quarter of 2002. As a percentage of revenue, SG&A would have increased to 13.6% of revenue for the second quarter of 2003 from 13.4% of pro forma revenue for the prior year period. This increase is due primarily to additional SG&A expenses associated with our recently formed Government Services segment as well as an increase in expense associated with upgrading our corporate information technology systems.
Other Statement of Operations Items
Equity in earnings of unconsolidated affiliates, which represents our share of the earnings of HCL Perot Systems N.V. (HPS), a software joint venture based in India, was $1.5 million in the three months ended June 30, 2003, compared to $2.0 million in the same period of 2002.
The effective tax rate for income before the cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle in the second quarter of 2003 was 39.0%. During the second quarter of 2002, we reduced a deferred tax asset valuation allowance of $1.6 million in connection with the termination of a certain business relationship. Without the effect of this $1.6 million tax benefit, the effective tax rate for the second quarter of 2002 would have been 39.5%.
Comparison of the Six Months Ended June 30, 2003 and 2002
Revenue
Revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2003, increased by $37.2 million, or 5.6%, to $696.4 million from revenue of $659.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2002. As noted above, we adopted EITF 00-21 effective January 1, 2003, which adjusted revenue recognized on existing contracts based on the new criteria of EITF 00-21 regarding whether an arrangement involving multiple deliverables contains more than one unit of accounting and how arrangement consideration should be measured and allocated to the separate units of accounting in an arrangement. The effect from this change in accounting is reflected above in the presentation of pro forma amounts for revenue, gross profit, gross margin and net income (loss) for the six months ended June 30, 2002. The following comparison of the first six months of 2003 to the first six months of 2002 was prepared using pro forma amounts for the first six months of 2002.
Revenue for the first six months of 2003 increased by $56.7 million, or 8.9%, compared to pro forma revenue for the first six months of 2002 of $639.7 million.
In July 2002, we acquired ADI Technology Corporation and formed our Government Services segment. In February 2003, we acquired Soza & Company, Ltd. Revenue from this segment was $93.4 million for the first six months of 2003.
Revenue from the IT Solutions segment decreased $33.3 million, or 5.5%, to
$575.4 million for the first six months of 2003 from pro forma revenue of
$608.7 million in the same period of 2002. This decrease was primarily
attributable to:

MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
| A $23.3 million decrease from existing accounts, short-term offerings, and project work that is provided to customers within our long-term account base. Within our long-term client contracts we typically perform services above our base level of services. Given the discretionary nature of these additional services, the amount of these services that we provide to our customers may fluctuate from period to period depending on many factors, including economic conditions and specific client needs; | |
| A $30.7 million decrease in revenue as a result of exiting certain business relationships and under-performing delivery units during 2002, including two joint ventures; and | |
| An $8.7 million decrease from UBS to $118.8 million in 2003 from $127.5 million in 2002. |
These decreases in revenue were partially offset by a $29.4 million increase in revenue from contracts signed since the second quarter of 2002 with new customers.
Revenue from the Consulting segment decreased 10.7% to $26.7 million in the first six months of 2003 from $29.9 million in the same period of 2002 due primarily to the weak demand for custom application solutions and package implementation services.
Gross Margin
Gross margin for the six months ended June 30, 2003, was 16.8% of revenue, was lower than the gross margin for the six months ended June 30, 2002, of 23.9% and is lower than the pro forma gross margin for the six months ended June 30, 2002, of 20.4%. The following items are important in understanding the decrease in gross margin as compared to the pro forma gross margin for 2002:
| In the first six months of 2002, we recorded revenue of $7.3 million and direct cost of services of $0.8 million, resulting in gross profit of $6.5 million, associated with the termination of a certain business relationship; | |
| In the first six months of 2002, we received a $3.0 million payment from a customer in bankruptcy reorganization that was previously believed to be unrecoverable; and | |
| As discussed above in Exiting of a Customer Contract, the pro forma gross profit for the first six months of 2002 includes a reduction of $14.8 million associated with the adoption of EITF 00-21 for this contract ($7.1 million as a reduction of revenue and $7.7 million as an increase in direct cost of services); and | |
| As discussed above in Exiting of a Customer Contract, in the first six months of 2003 we recorded $17.7 million of expense in direct cost of services associated with the exiting of this contract. |
Without the effects of these items, gross margin for the first six months of 2003 would have decreased to 19.4% of revenue from a gross margin of 21.2% in the same period of 2002 (calculated by adjusting the pro forma gross margin of 20.4% for the first six months of 2002 for the 2002 items discussed above). The year over year decline in gross margin is primarily due to lower demand for short-term services, lower gross margins from contracts signed since the second quarter of 2002 with new customers, lower profit margins from our Government Services segment, and $3.0 million of expense associated with unfulfilled minimum purchase commitments.
Selling, General, and Administrative Expenses
SG&A for the six months ended June 30, 2003, decreased 9.6% to $90.4 million
from $100.0 million for the same period of 2002. SG&A for the first six months
of 2003 was 13.0% of revenue, which is lower than SG&A for the same period of
2002 of 15.6% of pro forma revenue. In our analysis of SG&A for the first
Page 18
Table of Contents
PEROT SYSTEMS CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
six months of 2003 and 2002, we identified the following items that are important in understanding this change:
| During the first six months of 2002, we recorded $8.1 million of expense in SG&A associated with the elimination of approximately 235 positions and the exiting of certain business operations and $3.5 million of expense associated with our response to investigations of the California energy crisis; and | |
| During the first six months of 2003, we recorded $3.3 million of expense in SG&A related to severance and other costs to eliminate approximately 150 positions in various business functions and geographic areas. In addition, we recorded a reduction of expense of $5.4 million resulting from revising our estimate of liabilities associated with actions in prior years to streamline our operations, which included a favorable resolution of an employment dispute. |
Without the effects of these items, SG&A would have increased by $4.1 million, or 4.6%, to $92.5 million for the first six months of 2003 from $88.4 million for the same period of 2002. As a percentage of revenue, SG&A would have decreased to 13.3% of revenue for the first six months of 2003 from 13.8% of pro forma revenue for the prior year period. This decrease is due primarily to our efforts to reduce SG&A costs. Partially offsetting these expense reductions are an increase in SG&A expenses associated with our recently formed Government Services segment.
Other Statement of Operations Items
Equity in earnings of unconsolidated affiliates, comprised of equity in earnings from HPS, was $3.0 million in the six months ended June 30, 2003, compared to $3.9 million in the same period of 2002.
The effective tax rate for income before the cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle for the six months ended June 30, 2003, was 39.0%. During the first six months of 2002, we reduced a deferred tax asset valuation allowance of $1.6 million in connection with the termination of a certain business relationship. Without the effect of this $1.6 million tax benefit, the effective tax rate for the first six months of 2002 would have been 39.5%.
Business Outlook
The following statements regarding our business outlook are based on current expectations. These statements are forward-looking and actual results may differ materially. In formulating this outlook, we considered recent and potential sales, acquisitions and current market conditions.
For the third quarter of 2003, we expect revenue to range from $360.0 million to $375.0 million, representing an increase of between 5.1% and 9.5% as compared to the third quarter of 2002. Comparing revenue for the second quarter of 2003 to our expected revenue for the third quarter of 2003:
| New customer contracts are expected to add between $10.0 million and $15.0 million of additional revenue, and | |
| Potential revenue declines within our long-term account base of approximately $5.0 million may occur. |
For the third quarter of 2003, diluted earnings per share is expected to range
from $0.10 to $0.13. As discussed below in Accounting Standards Issued,
effective July 1, 2003, we will adopt FASB Interpretation No. 46,
Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities (FIN 46), which requires us to
consolidate a variable interest entity with which we have an operating lease
contract for the use of land and our headquarters office buildings in Plano,
Texas, including a data center facility. FIN 46 may be applied prospectively
with a cumulative-effect adjustment as of the date on which it is first applied
or by restating previously issued financial statements for one or more years
with a cumulative-effect adjustment as of the beginning of the first year
restated. We have not yet determined whether to restate any previously issued
Page 19
Table of Contents
PEROT SYSTEMS CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
financial statements in connection with the adoption of FIN 46. If we elect to apply FIN 46 on a prospective basis, we would record a cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle of approximately $8.7 million (approximately $5.4 million, net of the applicable income tax benefit) in the third quarter of 2003, representing primarily the cumulative depreciation expense on the buildings, improvements and equipment through June 30, 2003.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
During the six months ended June 30, 2003, cash and cash equivalents decreased 41.6% to $124.3 million from $212.9 million at December 31, 2002.
Net cash provided by operating activities was $8.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2003, compared to net cash provided by operating activities of $6.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2002. The primary reason for the increase in cash provided by operations is a $10.5 million change in the net cash paid for income taxes, with net refunds of $3.7 million in 2003 compared to net payments of $6.8 million in 2002. Additionally, year-end bonuses paid to associates in 2003 decreased as compared to 2002 by approximately $9.3 million. These improvements in operating cash flows were partially offset by increases in accounts receivable and prepaid expenses and a decrease in income before the cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle for the six months ended June 30, 2003, as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2002.
Net cash used in investing activities increased to $104.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2003, from $76.9 million for the same period in 2002. This increase was due primarily to a $26.0 million increase in the amount of net cash paid for acquisitions of businesses.
| During the first six months of 2002, we paid $49.6 million net cash for the acquisition of Claim Services Resource Group, Inc. and $10.0 million as additional consideration related to the acquisition of ARS. | |
| During the first six months of 2003, we paid $72.8 million net cash for the acquisition of Soza, and $10.0 million and $3.0 million as additional consideration related to the acquisitions of ARS and ADI, respectively. |
For the six months ended June 30, 2003, net cash provided by financing activities decreased to $3.3 million from $13.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2002. This decrease is due primarily to a decrease in the exercise of options to purchase Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock during the first six months of 2003 from the same period in 2002. This decrease was partially offset by a decrease in the number of shares of our Class A Common Stock that we repurchased in the first six months of 2003 as compared to the first six months of 2002.
We have no committed line of credit or other borrowings and anticipate that existing cash and cash equivalents and expected net cash flows from operating activities will provide sufficient funds to meet our operating needs for the foreseeable future. We are currently considering obtaining a line of credit, or an alternative form of financing, which we may need if we make additional acquisitions using cash. As discussed below, upon adoption of FIN 46 we will increase our long-term debt by approximately $75.5 million.
We have had discussions with the other shareholder of HPS regarding the potential purchase from it of its equity ownership in HPS or the potential sale to it of our equity ownership in HPS. The completion of such a transaction would have a significant impact on our cash balance.

Contract-Related Contingency
As discussed above, during the second quarter of 2003 we exited an under-performing contract. We expected this contract to be profitable in the aggregate over its term, but the contract included an application development element that was expected to generate a loss for its remaining term and was negatively impacting our cash flow. As previously disclosed in our 2002 Form 10-K, the cost of this application development element was expected to exceed the original estimate stated in the contract. While the contract provides for us to collect most of the excess of the actual cost over the original estimate, we were unable to reach agreement with the client on the timing and form of payment for the excess. We are providing the services necessary to transition certain functions back to the client, which are expected to end in the fourth quarter of 2003.
As a result of the exiting of this contract, in the second quarter of 2003 we determined that certain contract-related assets were impaired and additional expenses would be incurred in the future related to the exiting of this contract, resulting in a loss of $17.7 million recorded in direct cost of services. This estimated loss represents our current estimate of the loss related to exiting this contract. The amount of actual loss with respect to exiting this contract may exceed our current estimates.
Accounting Standards Issued
Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 46
In January 2003, the FASB issued FIN 46, an interpretation of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51, Consolidated Financial Statements, which changes the criteria for consolidation by business enterprises of variable interest entities. FIN 46 requires a variable interest entity to be consolidated by a company if that company is subject to a majority of the risk of loss from the variable interest entitys activities or entitled to receive a majority of the entitys residual returns or both. The consolidation requirements of FIN 46 apply immediately to variable interest entities created after January 31, 2003, and apply in the first fiscal period beginning after June 15, 2003, for variable interest entities created prior to February 1, 2003. FIN 46 may be applied prospectively with a cumulative-effect adjustment as of the date on which it is first applied or by restating previously issued financial statements for one or more years with a cumulative-effect adjustment as of the beginning of the first year restated.
We have an operating lease contract with a variable interest entity (also called a special purpose entity) for the use of land and office buildings in Plano, Texas, including a data center facility. We currently do not consolidate this entity. However, we will be required to consolidate this entity beginning in the third quarter of 2003. Upon consolidation of this entity, we will increase our assets and long-term debt by approximately $66.3 million and $75.5 million, respectively, and begin recording additional depreciation expense of approximately $3.2 million per year. The assets will be recorded as land, buildings, improvements and equipment.
We have not yet determined whether to restate any previously issued financial statements in connection with the adoption of FIN 46. If we elect to apply FIN 46 on a prospective basis, we would record a cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle of approximately $8.7 million (approximately $5.4 million, net of the applicable income tax benefit) in the third quarter of 2003, representing primarily the cumulative depreciation expense on the buildings, improvements and equipment through June 30, 2003.

ITEM 3: QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
For a discussion of our market-risk associated with foreign currencies as of December 31, 2002, see Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk in Part II, Item 7A, Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year then ended. For the six months ended June 30, 2003, there has been no significant change in related market risk factors.
ITEM 4: CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
As of the end of the period covered by this report, an evaluation was carried out by our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934). Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that these disclosure controls and procedures were effective.
There were no changes in internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that occurred during our most recent fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, internal control over financial reporting.

PART II: OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1: LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
We are, from time to time, involved in various litigation matters arising in the ordinary course of our business. We believe that the outcomes of these litigation matters, either individually or taken as a whole, will not have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
IPO Allocation Securities Litigation
In July and August 2001, we, as well as some of our current and former officers and the investment banks that underwrote our initial public offering, were named as defendants in two purported class action lawsuits. These lawsuits, Seth Abrams v. Perot Systems Corp. et al. and Adrian Chin v. Perot Systems, Inc. et al., were filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. The suits allege violations of Rule 10b-5, promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and Sections 11, 12(a)(2) and 15 of the Securities Act of 1933. Approximately 300 issuers and 40 investment banks have been sued in similar cases. The suits against the issuers and underwriters have been consolidated for pretrial purposes in the IPO Allocation Securities Litigation. The lawsuit involving us focuses on alleged improper practices by the investment banks in connection with our initial public offering in February 1999. The plaintiffs allege that the investment banks, in exchange for allocating public offering shares to their customers, received undisclosed commissions from their customers on the purchase of securities and required their customers to purchase additional Perot Systems shares in aftermarket trading. The lawsuit also alleges that we should have disclosed in our public offering prospectus the alleged practices of the investment banks, whether or not we were aware that the practices were occurring.
During 2002, the individual Perot Systems defendants were dismissed from the case. In exchange for the dismissal, the individual defendants entered agreements with the plaintiffs that toll the running of the statute of limitations and permit the plaintiffs to refile claims against them in the future. In February 2003, in response to the defendants motion to dismiss, the court dismissed the plaintiffs Rule 10b-5 claims against us, but did not dismiss the remaining claims.
We recently decided to accept a settlement proposal presented to all issuer defendants. Pursuant to the proposed settlement, plaintiffs would dismiss and release all claims against us and our current and former officers and directors, in exchange for an assurance by the insurance companies collectively responsible for insuring the issuers in all of the IPO cases that the plaintiffs will achieve a minimum recovery (including amounts recovered from the underwriters), and for the assignment or surrender of certain claims we may have against the underwriters. We would not be required to make any cash payment with respect to the settlement. The proposed settlement requires approval of an unspecified percentage of issuers. The proposed settlement would also require court approval, which cannot be assured. In the event that the settlement is not completed, we will continue to vigorously defend ourselves in this case.
Litigation Relating to the California Energy Market
In June 2002, we were named as a defendant in a purported class action lawsuit that alleges that we conspired with energy traders to manipulate the California energy market. This lawsuit, Art Madrid v. Perot Systems Corporation et al., was filed in the Superior Court of California, County of San Diego.
Page 24
PEROT SYSTEMS CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
FORM 10-Q
For the Quarter Ended June 30, 2003
In June, July and August 2002, Perot Systems, Ross Perot and Ross Perot, Jr., were named as defendants in eight purported class action lawsuits that allege violations of Rule 10b-5, and, in some of the cases, common law fraud. These suits allege that our SEC filings contained material misstatements or omissions of material facts with respect to our activities related to the California energy market. Two lawsuits, Herbert Condell v. Perot Systems Corp. et al. and Richard J. Dowling v. Perot Systems Corp. et al., were filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. Four lawsuits, Robert Markewich v. Perot Systems Corp. et al., Vincent Milano v. Perot Systems Corp. et al., Lori Will v. Perot Systems Corp. et al. and June Zordich v. Perot Systems Corp. et al., were filed in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Texas, Dallas Division. Two lawsuits, Joffre Berger v. Perot Systems Corp. et al., and Daniel Taubenfeld v. Perot Systems Corp. et al., were filed in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Texas, Sherman Division. All of these eight cases have been consolidated in the Northern District of Texas, Dallas Division.
We believe the claims against us are without merit and will vigorously defend ourselves in these cases.
ITEM 4: SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS
We held an annual meeting of our shareholders on May 7, 2003. The purpose of the meeting was to elect eight nominees to serve as our directors. The number of shares voted with respect to each nominee was as follows:
