JANUS CAPITAL GROUP INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

Note 1 — Basis of Presentation

In the opinion of Janus Capital Group Inc. (the “Company” or “Janus”) management, the accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments necessary to fairly present the financial position and results of operations in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). Such interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2002.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared consistently with the accounting policies described in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements that are presented in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2002. Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.

Note 2 — Recent Accounting Pronouncements

The adoption of Financial Accounting Standard Board (“FASB”) Interpretation No. 45, “Guarantor’s Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others,” and FASB Interpretation No. 46, “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, an Interpretation of ARB No. 51,” in the first quarter 2003 did not have an impact on Janus’ results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

During May 2003, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 150, “Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity”. SFAS No. 150 clarifies the accounting for certain financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity and requires that those instruments be classified as liabilities in statements of financial position. SFAS No. 150 is effective for financial instruments entered into, or modified after, May 31, 2003, and is otherwise effective July 1, 2003. Janus does not have any financial instruments impacted by the provisions of SFAS No. 150, and therefore, the adoption of the statement will not have an impact on Janus’ consolidated financial statements.

Note 3 — Earnings Per Share

The effect of stock options represent the difference between the weighted average shares used for the basic earnings per share computation compared to the diluted earnings per share computation. The adjustment to the numerator of the Company’s diluted earnings per share computation includes potentially dilutive securities of subsidiaries and affiliates. The following is a summary of the earnings per share calculation (in millions, except per share data):

                                 
    Three Months Ended   Six Months Ended
    June 30,   June 30,
   
 
    2003   2002   2003   2002
   
 
 
 
Net income
  $ 47.5     $ 73.7     $ 86.1     $ 170.9  
Dilutive securities at subsidiaries and affiliates
    (0.1 )     (0.4 )     (0.2 )     (1.1 )
 
   
     
     
     
 
Net income for dilutive computation
  $ 47.4     $ 73.3     $ 85.9     $ 169.8  
 
   
     
     
     
 
Weighted average common shares outstanding
    228.9       222.4       226.4       222.3  
Incremental shares from assumed conversion of stock options
    1.8       2.0       1.6       2.2  
 
   
     
     
     
 
Weighted average diluted common shares outstanding
    230.7       224.4       228.0       224.5  
 
   
     
     
     
 
Basic earnings per share
  $ 0.21     $ 0.33     $ 0.38     $ 0.77  
 
   
     
     
     
 
Diluted earnings per share (as originally disclosed)
  $ 0.21     $ 0.30     $ 0.38     $ 0.72  
 
   
     
     
     
 
Diluted earnings per share (as adjusted)*
    n/a     $ 0.33       n/a     $ 0.76  
 
           
             
 

  *   Diluted earnings per share have been adjusted from the amounts originally disclosed in the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2002. The original diluted earnings per share calculation included all unvested restricted shares of Janus Capital Management LLC (“JCM”). The calculation did not include the impact of the assumed repurchase of shares (using total unamortized restricted stock compensation as the proceeds), pursuant to the treasury stock method defined in SFAS No. 128, “Earnings per Share.” Using the treasury stock method, the decline in fair market value of the JCM shares subsequent to the date of grant resulted in the unvested JCM shares becoming antidilutive.

The following securities have been excluded from the earnings per share computations as their inclusion would be antidilutive:

    Stock options that have an exercise price greater than the average market price of Janus’ common stock (for the three-month periods ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, 4.6 million and 3.3 million options, respectively, were excluded and for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, 8.4 million and 3.1 million options, respectively, were excluded);
 
    1.9 million shares of common stock reserved for issuance upon conversion of the zero-coupon convertible notes due 2031, at June 30, 2003 and 2002; and
 
    9.8 million unvested restricted stock awards that were issued and outstanding, at June 30, 2003.

Potential DST Transaction. As previously disclosed, Janus and DST have been discussing potential transactions that may result in DST acquiring some or all of the DST shares owned by Janus. Any transaction would have a material impact on Janus’ consolidated financial statements. DST and Janus have not entered into a definitive agreement at this time, and there can be no assurance that DST and Janus will enter into a definitive agreement regarding this transaction.

Note 5 — Acquisitions

Berger Financial Group LLC (“Berger”) Minority. In February 2003, Janus purchased 100% of the outstanding Berger minority LLC interests. The purchase was executed with a combination of cash and Janus common stock. The terms of the purchase have not been presented as they are immaterial to the consolidated financial statements of Janus.

Janus Capital Management LLC (“JCM”) Awards. On March 12, 2003, JCM became a wholly owned subsidiary of Janus through the conversion of all outstanding employee-held shares of JCM into shares of Janus common stock.

Table of Contents

The conversion was completed to simplify Janus’ corporate structure and more closely align interests of Janus employees with those of shareholders.

A special committee of independent members of Janus’ Board of Directors approved a conversion ratio of 20.1 shares of Janus common stock for each JCM share. The conversion ratio was based on the fair market value of each equity instrument at the date of conversion. The conversion resulted in the issuance of approximately 15.6 million shares of Janus common stock; 3.7 million shares were vested prior to conversion and 1.8 million shares vested on March 31, 2003. The conversion did not modify any of the existing terms of the stock awards.

Enhanced Investment Technologies, LLC (“INTECH”). In April 2003, Janus exercised its call option to purchase an additional 27.5% of INTECH, increasing Janus’ ownership of INTECH to 78%. The call option was accounted for as a financing arrangement; therefore, the consolidated financial statements of Janus have included INTECH as a 78% majority-owned subsidiary since the initial acquisition in February 2002. No additional goodwill or intangibles were recorded as a result of the exercise of the option.

Perkins, Wolf, McDonnell and Company, LLC (“PWM”). In May 2003, Janus completed the acquisition of a 30% ownership interest in PWM which is being accounted for under the equity method. PWM is the named subadvisor for certain of the Company’s small- and mid-cap value products. The terms of the purchase and summarized financial information have not been presented as they are immaterial to Janus’ consolidated financial statements.

The Berger and JCM transactions resulted in additional goodwill and intangibles of $64.0 million being recorded during the six months ended June 30, 2003. Janus is in the process of finalizing the purchase price allocations.

Note 6 — Goodwill and Intangible Assets

The following is a summary of changes in goodwill for the six-month period ended June 30, 2003 (in millions):

Note 9 — Stock Options

As permitted by SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock Based Compensation,” Janus accounts for stock options granted to employees and non-employee directors using the intrinsic value method in accordance with the provisions of Accounting Principles Board (“APB”) No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees.” Accordingly, no stock-based employee compensation cost is reflected in net income for the value of stock options as all such instruments had an exercise price equal to the market value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant. The following table illustrates the effect on net income and earnings per share if Janus had applied the fair value method of accounting to stock options (in millions, except per share data):

Restricted stock compensation included in Janus’ operating results relate to historical stock awards, and is based on the value of the awards at the date of grant. The grants are accounted for as fixed awards with the expense spread over the vesting period. The measurement and accounting for restricted stock awards are identical under APB No. 25 and SFAS No. 123.

Note 10 — Segment Information

For purposes of segment reporting, Janus has two segments: Investment Management, which represents businesses that derive the majority of their revenues and income from providing investment management services under investment advisory agreements, and DST, which is composed of the Company’s equity investment in DST.

Prior to January 1, 2003, the DST segment also included holding company activities and other immaterial operations. On January 1, 2003, Janus completed a corporate reorganization that resulted in the transfer of management responsibilities from Janus’ headquarters in Kansas City, Missouri to Denver, Colorado. As Janus is now both the operating company and the manager of the overall business, its segment reporting has been revised. The Investment Management segment now includes investment advisory services, corporate-level activities and other insignificant operations. Prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the new presentation.

Note 11 — Subsequent Events

In July 2003, Janus agreed to the terms of a sale of Nelson Money Managers plc, a UK—based investment management company. The disposition of Nelson will not have a material impact on Janus’ financial results, but upon closing, will reduce assets under management and total headcount by approximately $1 billion and 170 employees, respectively. Closing is expected during the third quarter 2003.

General

Janus’ principal business is to provide investment advisory, distribution and administrative services to individual and institutional investors, primarily through mutual funds, in both domestic and international markets. Revenues are largely dependent on the total value and composition of assets under management, which include domestic and international equity and debt securities. Accordingly, fluctuations in the financial markets and in the composition of assets under management impact revenues and operating results. Assets under management are affected by new money investments or redemptions and by market appreciation or depreciation. Factors that impact the level of net fund sales or redemptions include relative fund performance, marketing efforts, and introduction and market reception of new products. Market appreciation and depreciation reflect fluctuations in investment values.

Janus’ significant subsidiaries and equity investments include:

    Janus Capital Management LLC (“JCM”) (wholly owned subsidiary). JCM’s investment management contracts include the Janus Investment Fund, the Janus Aspen Series, the Janus Adviser Series, the Janus World Funds Plc, and subadvised and private accounts.
 
    Bay Isle Financial LLC (“Bay Isle”) (wholly owned subsidiary). Bay Isle is an investment manager of mutual funds and institutional accounts through a value-style approach.

Table of Contents

    Enhanced Investment Technologies, LLC (“INTECH”) (78% owned subsidiary). INTECH provides investment management services using a proprietary mathematical investment process for mutual funds, and institutional and private clients.
 
    Perkins, Wolf, McDonnell and Company, LLC (“PWM”) (30% equity method investment). PWM manages small- and mid-cap value mutual funds as well as separate accounts.
 
    DST Systems, Inc. (“DST”) (34% equity method investment). DST offers information processing and software services, and products through three operating segments: financial services, output solutions and customer management. Additionally, DST holds certain investments in equity securities, financial interests and real estate holdings.

Significant Developments and Transactions

Potential DST Transaction. As previously disclosed, Janus and DST have been discussing potential transactions that may result in DST acquiring some or all of the DST shares owned by Janus. Any transaction would have a material impact on Janus’ consolidated financial statements. DST and Janus have not entered into a definitive agreement at this time, and there can be no assurance that DST and Janus will enter into a definitive agreement regarding this transaction.

PWM. In May 2003, Janus completed the acquisition of a 30% ownership interest in PWM. PWM is the named subadvisor for certain of the Company’s value products.

INTECH. In April 2003, Janus exercised its call option to purchase an additional 27.5% of INTECH, increasing Janus’ ownership of INTECH to 78%. The call option was accounted for as a financing arrangement, and therefore, the consolidated financial statements of Janus have included INTECH as a 78% majority owned subsidiary since the initial acquisition in February 2002. No additional goodwill or intangibles were recorded as a result of the exercise of the option.

JCM Restricted Stock Awards. On March 12, 2003, JCM became a wholly owned subsidiary through the conversion of all outstanding employee-held shares of JCM into shares of Janus common stock. The conversion was completed to simplify Janus’ corporate structure and more closely align interests of employees with those of shareholders.

A special committee of independent members of Janus’ Board of Directors approved a conversion ratio of 20.1 shares of Janus common stock for each JCM share. The conversion ratio was based on the fair market value of each equity instrument at the date of conversion. The conversion resulted in the issuance of approximately 15.6 million shares of Janus common stock; 3.7 million shares were vested prior to conversion and 1.8 million shares vested on March 31, 2003. The conversion did not modify any of the terms of the awards.

Berger Financial Group LLC (“Berger”) Minority. In February 2003, Janus purchased 100% of the outstanding Berger minority LLC interests. The purchase was executed with a combination of cash and Janus common stock.

Company Reorganization. On January 1, 2003, in response to the changing market environment, the Company reorganized its operations with the goal of eliminating redundant management teams, investment capabilities and infrastructure, and adopted a new business model that better capitalizes on the well-known Janus brand and leverages JCM’s existing and extensive global distribution relationships and network (the “Reorganization”).

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

As discussed in Part 1, Item 1, Note 2, management does not expect that the adoption of recent accounting pronouncements will have a material impact on Janus’ statement of financial position, results of operations or cash flow.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Three Months Ended June 30, 2003 Compared with the Three Months Ended June 30, 2002

Net Income. Janus had net income of $47.5 million, or $0.21 per diluted share, in the second quarter of 2003 compared to $73.7 million, or $0.33 per diluted share, in the second quarter of 2002. The decrease in earnings was principally attributable to a decline in average assets under management caused by both the overall decline in the equity markets and redemptions out of Janus-sponsored products.

Assets Under Management/Revenue. Assets under management totaled $149.8 billion at June 30, 2003, a 12.9% increase from assets of $132.7 billion at March 31, 2003, primarily due to market appreciation of $15.5 billion and $1.6 billion of net inflows. The net inflows during the quarter resulted from net outflows of $2.2 billion in the growth equity discipline offset by net inflows of $2.4 billion and $1.4 billion in Janus’ other (non-money market) investment and money market disciplines, respectively.

Assets under management were as follows (in billions):

Investment management and shareowner servicing fees decreased 19.3% to $250.6 million from $310.4 million in the second quarter of 2002, primarily reflecting the decline in average assets under management. Average assets under management in the second quarter of 2003 declined 18.8% to $144.5 billion from $178.0 billion in the second quarter of 2002. Investment management and shareowner servicing fees are generally based upon a percentage of the market value of assets under management and are calculated under contractual agreements with the Company’s mutual funds, subadvised relationships and separate accounts.

Expenses. Employee compensation and benefits decreased $5.6 million, or 8.2%, reflecting a decline in base salaries and benefits due to reduced headcount combined with lower asset-based incentive compensation earned by portfolio management and sales professionals (from the reduction in average assets under management). The decline is offset by $6.8 million of retention bonuses and severance charges incurred in the second quarter of 2003. Final retention bonuses were paid to certain Stilwell Financial Inc. and Berger Financial Group LLC employees for successfully transitioning responsibilities to Janus management. Severance costs were related to employee reductions at JCM.

Marketing and distribution expense declined $19.2 million, or 30.9%, due to decreased average assets under management distributed through the third-party or adviser-assisted segment. Distribution fees, which constitute the majority of the marketing and distribution expenses, are based on a contractual percentage of the market value of assets under management distributed through the third-party or adviser-assisted segment.

General, administrative and occupancy expenses declined $4.8 million, or 13.6%, as a result of the following items:

    a decline in professional services of $3.7 million compared to higher than average expenses in the second quarter of 2002 related primarily to the conversion of JCM from a corporation to a limited liability company;

14


Table of Contents

    an overall reduction in operating expenses of $3.3 million due to a reduction in average number of employees and facility closures in 2002; and
 
    an offsetting increase in corporate insurance premiums of approximately $2.2 million.

Although the average outstanding debt balances decreased quarter over quarter, interest expense increased $1.2 million due to Convertible Notes issued in April 2001 being partially replaced during 2002 by two issuances of Senior Notes bearing higher interest rates.

The provision for income taxes as a percentage of income before taxes and minority interest increased to 39.0% from 35.4% due largely to the method of recording taxes associated with Janus’ investment in DST and the JCM equity grants made in April 2002. When the Reorganization was announced in the third quarter 2002, management indicated strategic alternatives would be evaluated for their investment in DST, including transactions that would be taxable at the full federal and applicable state income tax rates. Subsequent to the Reorganization announcement, the Company began providing for taxes on Janus’ share of DST earnings at full statutory rates. Previous to the third quarter 2002, the Company had provided deferred income taxes on the unremitted earnings of DST net of the 80% dividends received deduction provided for under current tax law.

The impact of the JCM share grants made in April 2002 also contributed to the higher effective tax rate. Since the JCM shares represented profits interests (which are considered to have no value for tax purposes), a tax deduction was not available to the Company with respect to this compensation expense. On March 12, 2003, Janus converted all outstanding employee-held shares of JCM into shares of Janus common stock, and now receives a tax deduction based on the fair market value of the awards on each annual vesting date. Due to the decline in the value of the awards since their grant date, a portion of the compensation expense (which is based on the value of the stock at the date of grant) was not deductible.

DST Systems, Inc. Janus’ equity earnings from DST increased to $18.1 million from $17.7 million as a result of DST repurchases of its common stock in the second quarter 2003, which increased Janus’ ownership interest to 34.4% from 33.2%. DST’s diluted earnings per share totaled $0.44 in both the second quarter 2003 and 2002.

Six Months Ended June 30, 2003 Compared with the Six Months Ended June 30, 2002

Net Income. Janus had net income of $86.1 million, or $0.38 per diluted share, in the first six months of 2003 compared to $170.9 million, or $0.76 per diluted share, in the first six months of 2002. The decrease in earnings was principally attributable to a decline in average assets under management caused by both the overall decline in the equity markets and redemptions out of Janus-sponsored products.

Assets Under Management/Revenue. Assets under management totaled $149.8 billion at June 30, 2003, an 8.2% increase from assets of $138.4 billion at December 31, 2002. Assets under management for the first six months of 2003 increased by $12.0 billion due to market appreciation offset by net outflows of $0.6 billion. The net outflows consisted of net redemptions of $5.0 billion in the growth equity discipline offset by net inflows of $3.7 billion and $0.7 billion in Janus’ other (non-money market) investment and money market disciplines, respectively.

Investment management and shareowner servicing fees decreased 23.9% to $486.1 million from $638.7 million in the first six months of 2002, reflecting the decline in average assets under management and changes in product mix from equity funds to lower fee fixed income and money market funds. Average assets under management in the first six months of 2003 declined 23.0% to $140.4 billion from $182.3 billion in the first six months of 2002. Investment management and shareowner servicing fees are generally based upon a percentage of the market value of assets under management and are calculated under contractual agreements with the Company’s mutual funds, subadvised relationships and separate accounts.

Expenses. Employee compensation and benefits decreased $14.4 million, or 10.5%, reflecting lower headcount as a result of the 2002 restructuring, combined with lower incentive compensation earned by portfolio management and sales professionals. The decline is partially offset by approximately $10.8 million of retention bonuses and severance charges incurred in 2003. Final retention bonuses were paid to certain Stilwell Financial Inc. and Berger

Financial Group LLC employees for successfully transitioning responsibilities to Janus management. Severance costs were related to employee reductions at JCM.

Restricted stock compensation increased $13.2 million to $42.0 million, or 45.8%, reflecting the impact of the equity grants made to JCM employees in April 2002.

Marketing and distribution expense declined $39.6 million, or 32.0%, due to decreased average assets under management distributed through the third-party or adviser-assisted segment, combined with lower overall marketing and promotion expenditures as a result of reduced advertising spending on Janus products. Distribution fees, which constitute the majority of marketing and distribution expense, are generally based upon a percentage of the market value of assets under management distributed through the third-party or adviser-assisted segment.

General, administrative and occupancy expenses declined $5.7 million, or 8.5%, due to reduction of the following items:

    a decline in professional services of $3.6 million caused by higher than average expenses related primarily to the conversion of JCM from a corporation to a limited liability company;
 
    an overall reduction in operating expenses of $6.4 million due to a reduction in average number of employees and facility closures in 2002; and
 
    an offsetting increase in corporate insurance premiums of approximately $4.3 million.

Although the average outstanding debt balances decreased in the first six months of 2003 compared to the same 2002 period, interest expense increased $4.0 million due to Convertible Notes (issued in April 2001) being partially replaced during 2002 by two issuances of Senior Notes bearing higher interest rates.

The provision for income taxes as a percentage of income before taxes and minority interest increased to 40.0% from 34.3% due largely to the method of recording taxes associated with Janus’ investment in DST and the JCM equity grants made in April 2002. When the Reorganization was announced in the third quarter 2002, management indicated that strategic alternatives would be evaluated for their investment in DST, including transactions that would be taxable at the full federal and applicable state income tax rates. Subsequent to the Reorganization announcement, the Company began providing for taxes on Janus’ share of DST earnings at full statutory rates. Previous to the third quarter 2002, the Company had provided deferred income taxes on the unremitted earnings of DST net of the 80% dividends received deduction provided for under current tax law.

The impact of the JCM share grants made in April 2002 also contributed to the higher effective tax rate. Since the JCM shares represented profits interests (which are considered to have no value for tax purposes), a tax deduction was not available to the Company with respect to this compensation expense. On March 12, 2003, Janus converted all outstanding employee-held shares of JCM into shares of Janus common stock and now receives a tax deduction based on the fair market value of the awards on each annual vesting date. Due to the decline in the value of the awards since their grant date, a portion of the compensation expense (which is based on the value of the stock at the date of grant) was not deductible.

DST Systems, Inc. Janus’ equity earnings from DST decreased to $35.2 million from $37.1 million. The decline in equity earnings resulted from a 7.2 % decline in DST’s consolidated net income from $112.5 million to $104.4 million. The decline in net income was partially offset by second quarter 2003 DST repurchases of its common stock which increased Janus’ ownership interest to 34.4% from 33.2%.

Six Months Ended June 30, 2003 Compared with the Six Months Ended June 30, 2002

Janus’ cash flow from operations historically has been positive and sufficient to fund ordinary operations and capital expenditures. Janus generated $58.4 million of cash flows from operations in the six months ended June 30, 2003, compared to $147.5 million in the comparable 2002 period, a decline of $89.1 million. The decline is attributable to lower net income in 2003 and a decrease in cash provided from changes in working capital items, partially due to the payment of $33.8 million of previously accrued restructuring and severance payments related to the Reorganization. Working capital items can vary from quarter to quarter based on the timing of payments.

Cash used for investing activities of $139.7 million in the six-month period ended June 30, 2003 related to investments in advised funds, the acquisition of the Berger minority interest, the exercise of a call option to purchase an additional 27.5% of INTECH from the minority owners and the acquisition of a 30% ownership interest in PWM. In 2002, the primary use of cash for investing activities related to the acquisition of INTECH and the purchase of investments.

Cash used for financing activities in the six-month period ended June 30, 2003, totaled $16.3 million and related to distributions to minority owners. Cash used for financing activities in the first six months of 2002 related to the repayment of the convertible notes offset by the issuance of Senior Notes.

Future Capital Requirements

Short-Term Capital Requirements. Janus believes cash from operations should be sufficient to satisfy its short-term operating and capital requirements. Expected short-term uses of cash include:

    interest payments on outstanding debt;
 
    capital expenditures; and
 
    a declared dividend payment of $0.04 per share in July 2003.

Additionally, management expects that the holders of the zero-coupon convertible Senior Notes issued on April 30, 2001 will require Janus to repurchase all outstanding notes with an accreted value of $84.0 million in April 2004.

JANUS TRENDS AND OUTLOOK

Janus’ earnings and cash flows are heavily dependent on prevailing financial market conditions. Significant increases or decreases in the various securities markets, particularly the equity markets, can have a material impact on Janus’ results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.

Additionally, Janus’ results are impacted by the relative performance of Janus’ products and their risk characteristics, introduction and market reception of new products and the closing of existing funds to new investors, as well as other factors, including increases in the rate of return of alternative investment products, increasing competition as the number of mutual funds and alternative investments continues to grow, changes in marketing and distribution channels, and the ability to retain portfolio management professionals.

Average assets under management fluctuate based on fund flows and changes in the market value of funds and accounts managed by JCM, INTECH, PWM and Bay Isle. Accordingly, revenues and net income for 2003 may be lower than the comparable 2002 periods to the extent that the markets continue to be unfavorable to equity growth investors and average assets under management decline.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

The Company has had no significant changes in its exposure to market risks from that previously reported in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2002.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

The Company’s management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) or 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) as of June 30, 2003 and, based on its evaluation, has concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 30, 2003. In addition, there has been no change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the Company’s most recent fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
