The following description of the business of enherent Corp. ("enherent" or the "Company") contains certain forward-looking statements that involve substantial risks and uncertainties. When used in this section and elsewhere in this Form 10-K, the words "anticipate," "believe," "expect," "estimate," "predict," "plan," "will," "should," "intend" and similar expressions as they relate to the Company or its management are intended to identify such forward-looking statements. The Company's actual results, performance or achievements could differ materially from the results expressed in, or implied by, such forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include, without limitation, those discussed in "Factors that May Affect Future Results" below.
GENERAL
enherent Corp. (f/k/a PRT Group Inc.) was first incorporated as PRT Corp. of America, a New York corporation, in 1989. The Company was reincorporated in Delaware in 1996 as PRT Group Inc. In 2002, the Company transitioned its principal executive offices from 12300 Ford Road, Suite 450, Dallas, Texas 75234 to 80 Lamberton Rd., Windsor, Connecticut 06095. The Company's telephone number is (860) 687-2200.
enherent, in partnership with its clients and through the utilization of its Balanced Development MethodologySM, accelerates the design, development and delivery of discrete and seamless end-to-end solutions along the application development lifecycle. enherent addresses cross-industry business needs by focusing on the critical disciplines of project management, business requirements management and technology integration, while leveraging its intellectual capital to deliver scalable solutions that create value for its clients. On January 31, 2003, the Company had approximately 135 employees in the United States. Effective October 15, 2002, the Company had ceased operations at its near-shore Solution Center in Barbados, West Indies.
enherent provides its services through two primary lines of business. The firstIT Staffingprovides clients with access to a wide range of IT professionals to augment their staffing needs. The secondApplication Development Lifecycle Solutionsenables clients to turn over to enherent the management of an application development project, application maintenance project, application production support function or an entire IT departmentwith a goal of improving efficiency and maximizing results.
enherent's Balanced Development MethodologySM is designed to ensure that its solutions meet industry standards while reflecting the realities of the client's business priorities. The Balanced Development Methodology is a dynamic approach that draws on four sources for setting and meeting quality goals for each solution component: rigorous quality principles based on the Software Engineering Institute's Capability Maturity Model (CMM); iRAD, enherent's own iterative rapid application development process; project management principles based on the Project Management Institute's Project Management Book of Knowledge (PMBOK); and the business value of the function as stated by the client.
To strengthen quality measurement and control, enherent keeps its quality assurance teams independent from project management teams. It also maintains a proprietary, Lotus Notes-based Knowledge Asset DatabaseSM with best-practice methods, tool sets and work products that are available to all project teams.
IT Staffing
enherent's IT Staffing delivers individual or team staffing with a focus on the critical disciplines of project management, business requirements management and application development, from legacy
1
systems and client servers to Internet and network solutions. The Company provides specific industry expertise in the insurance, financial services, capital markets/banking, pharmaceutical and high-tech industry sectors. To keep skills sharp, the Company provides required training for employees.
Application Development Lifecycle Solutions
enherent provides clients access to expert technical support without the expense and administrative burden of maintaining facilities and technology or adding full-time personnel. Application Development Lifecycle Solutions include: 1) Application Engineeringarchitecture, strategy and design services; 2) Application Development and Integrationbusiness analysis, project management, planning, development, coding, testing and deployment services; and 3) Performance Optimizationimprovement, maintenance, enhancement, and production support services.
Target Markets
enherent supports cross-industry platforms and technologies with targeted industry sectors including insurance, financial services, banking and capital markets, pharmaceuticals, healthcare and high-tech. enherent is active in several geographic markets, including the northeastern United States, from Washington, D.C. to Maine and the central United States including Texas and Illinois.
enherent focuses its marketing efforts primarily at Fortune 1000-sized companies with significant IT and application development business needs. For the 12 months ending December 31, 2002, enherent's top 10 clients, listed alphabetically, were ASCAP, Chase Manhattan Bank, Cigna, Guy Carpenter, Hartford Insurance, J.P. Morgan, Mass Mutual, Pfizer, Prudential Insurance and SNET.
THE IT SERVICES INDUSTRY
enherent believes that a number of key industry trends will continue to have a major influence on the worldwide IT services market and, therefore, on enherent's business.
General Business Conditions
The current and continued economic recession and world events after the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks on the United States coupled with the general macroeconomic drivers of the global economy have caused a significant negative impact on overall Information Technology spending. The market for application development services has demonstrated a continued decline throughout 2002, and the Company believes that at the present time there do not appear to be signs of a significant recovery in the market for application development services in the near-term.
Budget ConstraintsIT Spending
As a result of the general economic climate, there are several significant trends that continue to affect spending on application development and IT staffing services. enherent believes that its existing and potential clients are experiencing reduced budgets and are choosing to delay and/or cancel projects. In addition, the Company has faced a significant increase in price pressure as a result of overall budget constraints and the abundance of IT professionals in the core IT market space. In those industries hardest hit by the economic slowdown, clients are implementing rate reductions without negotiation and in the Company's experience these reductions have approached greater than 10 percent of billing rates.
Vendor Management OrganizationsHuman Capital Management
enherent has observed that throughout 2002 companies increasingly engaged Vendor Management Organizations (Human Capital Management) firms to assist them with managing and reducing their
2
overall IT expenditures. As a result of this increase in Vendor Managed organizations, the supplier-side resource providers, such as enherent, are encountering the elimination of preferred vendor status, increased competition, reduced revenues and the advent of Vendor Management fees that are paid by the suppliers to the Vendor Managers. In the Company's experience these fees can range from 1% to greater than 5% of billing rates.
Outsourcing and Desktop Standardization Will Generate Business Opportunities
Few enterprises can escape the conflicting demands of budget constraints and the requirements to maintain both existing systems and to develop new strategic initiatives. Many clients have turned to outsourcing to help meet these conflicting demands. While the maturation of the Indian and other offshore alternatives has attracted a significant amount of U.S. development work over the past two years, there is a viable market for "on-site" outsourcing for those IT providers who are capable of developing long-term relationships with clientsrelationships based on mutual trust and on explicit risk mitigation procedures to protect the clients' long-term interests. enherent has demonstrated its ability to provide "on-site" outsourcing, and this operating model has gained more interest among our client base in the past several months.
enherent believes that clients are also starting to realize the advantages of requiring a standardized desktop image across their organizations. enherent, in conjunction with an alliance partner, recently completed a successful desktop standardization project that the client estimates will save it $20 million over the next five years. This repeatable offering has been documented and is being marketed to a receptive target audience.
The Company announced on June 3, 2002 its intentions to close the Company's Barbados, West Indies, Solution Center to reduce costs and improve operating efficiency. The Company implemented a plan to close the Barbados Solution Center, which was closed on October 15, 2002. (For additional information, see Footnote 10 in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.)
COMPETITION
The IT services industry is highly competitive and served by numerous international, national, regional and local firms, all of which are either existing or potential competitors of the Company. Primary competitors of enherent are software consulting and implementation firms, applications software firms, service groups of computer equipment companies, general management consulting firms, programming companies and temporary staffing firms as well as the internal IT staff of enherent's clients. The Company believes that the principal competitive factors in the IT services industry include the range of services offered, cost, technical expertise, responsiveness to client needs, speed in delivering IT solutions, quality of service and perceived value. enherent does not believe that it has a significant advantage or disadvantage with respect to any of the enumerated competitive factors.
INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS
The Company believes that its success and ability to compete are dependent in part upon its proprietary systems and technology. The Company relies on a combination of copyright, trademark and trade secret laws as well as confidentiality agreements with its employees, subcontractors, key suppliers and customers to establish and protect its technology and other proprietary rights. The Company does not have any patents. The Company has copyright protection with respect to certain of its proprietary software, its web site and certain marketing materials, as well as U.S. trademark registration for many of its trade and service marks. While the Company relies on trademark, trade secret and copyright laws to protect its proprietary rights, the Company believes that the technical and creative skills of its personnel, high-quality service standards, continued software development and maintenance needs of its
3
proprietary systems and technology and brand-name recognition are more important to establish and maintain a leadership position and strengthen its brand.
As part of its confidentiality procedures, the Company typically enters into agreements with its employees, subcontractors and certain clients which limit access to and distribution of its software, documentation and other proprietary information. There can be no assurance that steps taken by the Company will be adequate to prevent misappropriation of its technology, that agreements entered into for that purpose will be enforceable or that the Company will be able to detect unauthorized use and take appropriate steps to enforce its intellectual property rights. Policing unauthorized use of the Company's proprietary rights is difficult. Any misappropriation of the Company's technology or development of competitive technologies could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, results of operations or financial condition. The Company could incur substantial costs and management's attention could be diverted from the Company's operations in protecting and enforcing its intellectual property. Moreover, there can be no assurance that claims asserting that the intellectual property rights of the Company infringe on the intellectual property rights of others will not arise. There can be no assurance that such a claim will not result in litigation or that the Company would prevail in such litigation or be able to obtain a license for the use of any infringing intellectual property from a third party on commercially reasonable terms, if at all, in the event of an adverse determination. The Company typically has agreed to indemnify its customers and key suppliers for liability in connection with the infringement of a third party's intellectual property. While the Company is not currently subject to any such claims, any future claim, with or without merit, could result in material adverse effect on the Company's business, results of operations or financial condition.

Fiscal Year 2002 Compared to Fiscal Year 2001
Revenues. Revenues decreased approximately 29.9% to $20.8 million in fiscal year 2002 from $29.7 million in fiscal year 2001. The decrease in revenue was the result of several projects coming to an end, the non-renewal of certain client assignments and lower rates realized for billable consultants. The Company anticipates that this trend will continue.
Cost of Revenues. Cost of revenues decreased approximately 24.7% to $16.4 million in fiscal year 2002 from $21.8 million for the comparable period in 2001. As a percentage of revenues, cost of revenues increased to approximately 78.8% in fiscal year 2002 from approximately 73.3% for fiscal year 2001. The increase in cost of revenues as a percentage of revenues was due to a combination of higher personnel costs and lower rates realized for billable consultants.
Gross Profit. For the reasons set forth above, gross profit decreased as a percentage of revenues to approximately 21.2% in 2002 from approximately 26.7% for the comparable period in 2001.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses (SG&A). SG&A expenses decreased approximately 44.1% to $8.2 million in fiscal year 2002 from $14.7 million for the comparable period in 2001. As a percentage of revenues, SG&A expenses decreased to approximately 39.5% in fiscal year 2002 from approximately 49.6% for the comparable period in 2001. The decrease in SG&A expenses resulted from cost-cutting measures implemented in 2001 and 2002 and a reduction in bad debt expense of approximately $1.5 million. Cost-cutting measures included staffing reductions representing approximately $2.8 million. These decreases are partially offset by the costs associated with the settlement of litigation, the closure of the Barbados Solution Center and severance paid to former CEO Dan Woodward. The Company implemented a plan to close the Barbados Solution Center and recorded a pretax charge of approximately $440,000 in the period ended June 30, 2002. The Company recorded a liability of approximately $200,000 for severance and other employee costs for 28 support staff and approximately $95,000 for facility-related costs. The pretax charge includes approximately $145,000 to write the fixed assets down to their market value. The liability has been paid as of September 30, 2002, and the office was closed on October 15, 2002. The Company recorded a charge of approximately $340,000 in connection with the severance paid to the former CEO. As of December 31, 2002, $50,000 of this severance obligation remains unpaid.

Restructuring Charges and Impairment of Goodwill. Due to significant negative industry and economic trends affecting both our current and expected future revenues, management performed an analysis of the undiscounted cash flow from the Computer Management Resources, Inc. ("CMR") and Advanced Computing Techniques, Inc. ("ACT") acquisitions and concluded that the goodwill was impaired. Based on the analysis of the discounted cash flow, an impairment charge of approximately $15 million was recorded in the fourth quarter of 2001.
Loss from Operations. For the reasons set forth above, loss from operations for the fiscal year 2002 was $3.8 million compared to a loss of $21.8 million in the comparable period in 2001. As a percentage of revenues, the loss from operations for the fiscal year 2002 was approximately (18.3)% compared to approximately (73.3)% in the comparable period in 2001. For the reasons set forth above, excluding the impairment of goodwill charge, loss from operations for the fiscal year 2002 decreased $3.0 million in fiscal year 2002 to $3.8 from $6.8 million in the comparable period in 2001.
Other Income (Expense). Other income (expense) includes interest income, interest expense and miscellaneous income (expense). Interest income decreased approximately 84% to approximately $33,000 in 2002 from approximately $206,000 in 2001. This decrease in interest earned was due to lower cash balances and lower interest rates. Interest expense decreased approximately $14,000 in 2002 due to the maturing of capital leases. In 2002, miscellaneous income includes a gain on the disposal of certain fixed assets of approximately $72,000.
Preferred Stock Dividends and Accretion Net of Benefit to Common Shareholders. Preferred Stock Dividends decreased $.5 million in 2002 because under the terms of a Stock Purchase Agreement with The Travelers Indemnity Company ("The Travelers"), The Travelers converted 1,000,000 shares of its Series A Senior Participating Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock to 1,000,000 shares of enherent Common Stock. Under the terms of the Stock Purchase Agreement, The Travelers then sold the 1,000,000 shares of Common Stock to enherent for $200,000. Subsequently, enherent retired the 1,000,000 shares of Series A Senior Participating Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock. The Preferred Stock was carried at approximately $720,000 at the date of the transaction. Because the Common Stock was purchased below the carrying value of the Preferred Stock, a benefit to common shareholders of approximately $527,000 was recorded. Accretion on the remaining preferred stock was approximately $511,000 for the year ended December 31, 2002.
Fiscal Year 2001 Compared to Fiscal Year 2000
Revenues. Revenues decreased approximately 32.1% to $29.7 million in fiscal year 2001 from $43.7 million in fiscal year 2000. The decrease in revenue was the result of several projects coming to an end, the non-renewal of certain client assignments and lower rates realized for billable consultants.
Cost of Revenues. Cost of revenues decreased approximately 29.2% to $21.8 million in fiscal year 2001 from $30.8 million for the comparable period in 2000. As a percentage of revenues, cost of revenues increased to approximately 73.3% in fiscal year 2001 from approximately 70.4% for fiscal year 2000. The increase in cost of revenues as a percentage of revenues was due to lower rates realized for billable consultants.
Gross Profit. For the reasons set forth above, gross profit decreased as a percentage of revenues to approximately 26.7% in 2001 from approximately 29.6% for the comparable period in 2000.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses (SG&A). SG&A expenses decreased approximately 32.5% to $14.7 million in fiscal year 2001 from $21.8 million for the comparable period in 2000. As a percentage of revenues, SG&A expenses decreased to approximately 49.6% in fiscal year 2001 from approximately 49.9% for the comparable period in 2000. The decrease in SG&A expenses resulted
9
from cost-cutting measures implemented in 2000 and 2001, offset by an increase in bad debt expense of approximately $.8 million.
Restructuring Charges and Impairment of Goodwill. Due to significant negative industry and economic trends affecting both our current and expected future revenues, management performed an analysis of the undiscounted cash flow from the Computer Management Resources, Inc. ("CMR") and Advanced Computing Techniques, Inc. ("ACT") acquisitions and concluded that the goodwill was impaired. Based on the analysis of the discounted cash flow, an impairment charge of approximately $15 million was recorded in the fourth quarter of 2001.
Loss from Operations. For the reasons set forth above, loss from operations for the fiscal year 2001 was $21.8 million compared to a loss of $8.8 million in the comparable period in 2000. As a percentage of revenues, the loss from operations for the fiscal year 2001 was approximately (73.3)% compared to approximately (20.3)% in the comparable period in 2000.
Other Income (Expense). Other income (expense) includes interest income, interest expense and miscellaneous income (expense). Interest income decreased approximately 51.5% to approximately $206,000 in 2001 from approximately $425,000 in 2000. This decrease in interest earned was due to lower cash balances and the sale of marketable securities. Interest expense decreased approximately $187,000 in 2001 due to the retirement of a promissory note in the second quarter of 2000 and no borrowings against the credit facility. In 2001, miscellaneous expense includes a loss on the disposal of certain fixed assets related to office closures.
Preferred Stock Dividends and Accretion Net of Benefit to Common Shareholders. Preferred Stock Dividends decreased $5.2 million in 2001 due to the sale of 8,000,000 shares of Series A Senior Participating Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock by the Company in the second quarter of 2000, at a price below the then-current market price of the Company's Common Stock. This discount, aggregating approximately $5.2 million, was deemed a dividend on Preferred Stock. The Preferred Stock is being accreted to its liquidation value at April 12, 2005. Accretion increased $.2 million in 2001 due to a full year of expense in 2001 compared to a partial year in 2000.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company's working capital decreased to $4.0 million at December 31, 2002 from $7.1 million at December 31, 2001. Cash and equivalents were $3.1 million at December 31, 2002 compared to $5.3 million at December 31, 2001. The primary uses of cash during the year ended December 31, 2002 were to fund the cash used in operations as a result of the net operating loss of $3.8 million, partially offset by a decrease in accounts receivable of $1.5 million.
The Company anticipates that its primary uses of working capital in the near term will be to fund current operations. The current operating plan includes increasing the amount of services rendered to existing clients, the development of new clients and controlling operating expenses. Controlling operating expenses could include a further reduction in personnel and/or the consolidation of facilities. The Company continues to review all costs associated with operating its business. The Company believes that its current cash equivalents will be sufficient to meet anticipated cash needs for working capital and capital expenditures for at least the next 12 months. Currently the Company does not have a credit facility. If cash generated form operations is insufficient and the Company is unsuccessful in obtaining additional sources of financing, the Company could experience difficulty meeting its current obligations as they become due.
11
Critical Accounting Policies
In preparing the Company's consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, the Company uses certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and related disclosures and may vary from actual results. The Company considers the following accounting policies as those most important to the portrayal of its financial condition and those that require the most subjective judgment. Although the Company believes that its estimates and assumptions are reasonable, actual results may differ, and such differences could be significant to our financial results.
Revenue Recognition
Revenue is primarily derived from placing consultants on engagements with clients for a specified period of time. Revenue is recognized as services are performed on a time-and-materials basis and calculated from a consultant's time sheet and expense report using agreed-upon hourly rates. From time to time, project development work with a defined scope and a detailed budget is sold at a fixed price. Revenue for fixed price project development contracts is recognized in the period earned using the proportional performance method with revenues being recognized ratably over the performance period. From time to time, the Company also enters into fixed priced software development contracts. The Company recognizes revenue from fixed price software contracts using the percentage of completion method of accounting based on hours to date in comparison to total hours projected at completion. In 2002, less than two percent of the Company's revenues were from fixed price contracts. Financial reporting of these agreements depends on estimates, which are assessed continually during the term of the agreement (including overruns and additional charges for scope changes), as such estimated amounts are subject to revisions as the project progresses. Anticipated losses on fixed price contracts are recognized when estimable. Cash payments received but unearned are recognized as deferred revenue.
Accounts ReceivableAllowance for Doubtful Accounts
The Company's accounts receivable balance is reported net of allowances for amounts not expected to be collected from clients. Because our accounts receivable typically are unsecured, the Company periodically evaluates the collectability of these accounts based on a combination of factors, including a particular customer's ability to pay as well as the age of the receivables. To evaluate a specific customer's ability to pay, the Company analyzes financial statements, payment history and third-party credit analysis reports. In cases where the evidence suggests a customer may not be able to satisfy its obligations, the Company sets up a specific reserve in an amount determined to be appropriate for the perceived risk.
Goodwill
In assessing the recoverability of the Company's goodwill, the Company must make assumptions regarding estimated future cash flows and other factors to determine the fair value of the goodwill. Due to significant negative industry and economic trends affecting both our current and expected future revenues, management performed an analysis of the undiscounted cash flow from the CMR and ACT acquisitions and concluded that the goodwill was impaired. Based on the analysis of the discounted cash flow, an impairment charge of approximately $15 million was recorded in the fourth quarter of 2001, reducing the balance of goodwill to zero.
Deferred Taxes
For U.S. federal income tax purposes, at December 31, 2002, the Company had a net loss carryforward of approximately $44.6 million which begins to expire in 2018. Due to the uncertainty of
12
our ability to utilize these deferred tax assets, the Company has provided a valuation allowance to offset these deferred tax assets. If the Company generates U.S. taxable income in future periods, reversal of this valuation could have a significant positive impact on net income.
FACTORS THAT MAY AFFECT FUTURE RESULTS
General Business Conditions
The current and continued economic recession and world events after the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks on the United States coupled with the general macroeconomic drivers of the global economy have caused a significant negative impact on overall Information Technology spending. The market for application development services has demonstrated a continued decline throughout 2002 and the Company believes that at the present time there do not appear to be signs of a significant recovery in the near-term. The Company's business could be impacted by customer actions to delay, reduce in scope or cancel orders for the Company's services. There can be no assurance that there will be continued demand for the Company's services, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, operating results and financial condition.
Budget ConstraintsIT Spending
As a result of the general economic climate, there have been several significant trends that continue to affect spending on application development and IT staffing services. enherent believes that its existing and potential clients are experiencing reduced budgets and are choosing to delay and/or cancel projects. In addition there has been a significant increase in price pressure as a result of overall budget constraints and the abundance of IT professionals in the core IT market space. In those industries hardest hit by the economic slowdown, clients are implementing rate reductions without negotiation. In the Company's experience, these reductions have approached greater than 10 percent of billing rates.
Vendor Management OrganizationsHuman Capital Management
enherent has observed that throughout 2001 and 2002, companies increasingly have engaged Vendor Management Organizations (Human Capital Management) firms to assist them with managing and reducing their overall IT expenditures. As a result of this increase in Vendor Managed organizations, the supplier-side resource providers, such as enherent, are encountering the elimination of preferred vendor status, increased competition, reduced revenues and the advent of Vendor Management fees that are paid by the suppliers to the Vendor Managers. In the Company's experience, these fees can range from 1% to greater than 5% of billing rates. The Company anticipates that this trend will continue.
Recruitment and Retention of IT Professionals
The Company's business is labor-intensive. The Company's success depends upon its ability to attract, develop, motivate and retain IT consultants and IT sales professionals who possess the necessary technical skills and experience or can be trained to deliver the Company's services. Qualified IT consultants and IT sales professionals are in high demand worldwide and are likely to remain a limited resource for the foreseeable future. There can be no assurance that enherent will continue to have access to qualified IT and IT sales professionals, will be successful in retaining current or future IT professionals or that the cost of employing and subcontracting such IT professionals will not increase due to shortages. Failure to attract or retain qualified IT professionals in sufficient numbers could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, operating results and financial condition.
13
Risks Associated with International Operations
During the years ended December 31, 2000, 2001 and 2002, the percentage of the Company's revenue generated outside the United States was 8.6%, 9.7%, and 7.8%, respectively. There were no revenues generated by the Company outside the United States prior to 1995, and the Company does not expect to generate revenues from outside the United States for the foreseeable future.
enherent operated its Barbados CSEC for approximately six years. The Company announced on June 3, 2002 its intentions to close the Company's Barbados Solution Center to reduce costs and improve operating efficiency. The Company implemented a plan to close the Barbados Solution Center and recorded a pretax charge of approximately $440,000 in the period ended June 30, 2002. The Company recorded a liability of approximately $200,000 for severance and other employee costs for 28 support staff and approximately $95,000 for facility-related costs. The pretax charge includes approximately $145,000 to write the fixed assets down to their market value. The liability was paid as of September 30, 2002. The Barbados Solution Center was closed on October 15, 2002. The risks formerly associated to the Company's international operations do not apply now that the Company has no operations internationally.
Losses
The Company has incurred losses from the years ended December 31, 1995 through the year ended December 31, 2002. In order to operate profitably in the future, the Company must accomplish some or all of the following objectives: (i) increase the amount of services rendered to existing clients and develop new clients; (ii) develop and realize additional revenue sources, (iii) reduce costs of providing services or (iv) control operating expense.
Fluctuations in Operating Results
The Company's revenues and operating results are subject to significant variation from quarter to quarter depending on a number of factors, including, but not limited to: (i) the timing and number of client projects commenced (or delayed by the client) and completed during the quarter, (ii) the number of working days in a quarter and (iii) employee hiring, attrition and utilization rates. Because a high percentage of the Company's expenses, in particular personnel and facilities costs, is relatively fixed, variations in revenues may cause significant variations in operating results. Additionally, the Company periodically incurs cost increases due to both the hiring of new employees and strategic investments in its infrastructure in anticipation of future projects and opportunities for revenue growth. Quarterly results are likely to fluctuate, which may cause a material adverse effect on the market price of enherent's Common Stock. (See Quarterly results section in Item 7. "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation.")
Concentration of Revenues
In fiscal year 2002, approximately 72% of the Company's revenues were derived from five clients with one client accounting for approximately 30% of the Company's revenues in 2002, 20% of the Company's revenues in 2001and 14% of the Company's revenue in 2000. During each of fiscal years 2000 and 2001, approximately 53% and 68% of the Company's revenues were derived from its five largest clients.
Potential Liability to Clients
Many of the Company's engagements involve services that are critical to the operations of its clients' businesses and provide benefits that may be difficult to quantify. Although the Company attempts to contractually limit its liability for damages arising from errors, mistakes, omissions or negligent acts in rendering its services, there can be no assurance that its attempts to limit liability will
14
be successful. Additionally, the Company's attempts to contractually reduce liability with many of its largest clients have met with limited success. The Company's failure or inability to meet a client's expectations in the performance of its services could result in a material adverse effect on the client's operations and, therefore, could give rise to claims against the Company or damage the Company's reputation, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, operating results and financial condition.
Contract Risk
Most of the Company's contracts are terminable by the client following limited notice and without early termination payments or liquidated damages due to enherent. In addition, each stage of a project often represents a separate contractual commitment, at the end of which the client may elect to delay or not to proceed to the next stage of the project. While, to date, none of the Company's clients has terminated a material contract or materially reduced the scope of a large project, there can be no assurance that one or more of the Company's clients will not take such actions in the future. The delay, cancellation or significant reduction in the scope of a large project or number of projects could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, operating results and financial condition.
Fixed-Price Engagements
The Company principally bills for its services on a time-and-materials or line-of-code basis. The Company occasionally has entered into fixed-price billing engagements and may in the future enter into additional engagements billed on a fixed-price basis. While the Company's business, operating results and financial condition have not been materially adversely affected by any failure of the Company to complete a fixed-price engagement within budget in the past and the Company does not anticipate any such failure in the future, any such failure could expose the Company to risks associated with cost overruns, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, operating results and financial condition. Fixed price engagements represented approximately 2% of the Company's revenue in 2002.
Risks of Technological Change and Evolving Industry Standards
The IT services industry is characterized by rapid technological change, shifting client preferences and new product developments. The introduction of competitive IT solutions embodying new technologies and the emergence of new industry standards may render the Company's existing IT solutions, skills base or underlying technologies obsolete or unmarketable. As a result, the Company will be dependent in large part upon its ability to develop new IT solutions and capabilities that address the increasingly sophisticated needs of its clients and keep pace with new, competitive service and product offerings and emerging industry standards to achieve broad market acceptance. There can be no assurance that: (i) the Company will be successful in developing and marketing new IT solutions that respond to technological changes, shifting client requirements or evolving industry standards; (ii) that the Company will not experience difficulties that could delay or prevent the successful development, introduction and marketing of these new IT solutions; or (iii) its IT solutions will adequately meet the requirements of the marketplace and achieve market acceptance. Any failure to respond to technological change or evolving industry standards could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, operating results and financial condition.
Competition
The Company experiences intense competition. The market for services such as those enherent offers is very broad and such services are offered by a large number of private and public companies, many of which are significantly larger than, and have greater financial, technical and marketing resources than, enherent. Additionally, in certain sectors of the Company's business, particularly IT
15
Services, there are few barriers to entry and new competitors do and are expected to enter the market. As competitors enter the market to provide services similar to the Company, enherent's ability to compete effectively will increasingly depend upon the quality and price of its services. Competition could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, operating results and financial condition.
United States Government Regulation of Immigration
The Company recruits employees from around the world. Some of these employees work in the United States under H-1B, L-1 or TN temporary work permits. As of December 31, 2002, approximately 24% of enherent's worldwide workforce was working under such temporary work permits in the United States. Although, to date, enherent has not experienced difficulties in obtaining sufficient H-1B work permits, in the future the Company may be unable to obtain work permits to bring necessary employees to the United States for any number of reasons including, without limitation, limits set by the Department of Homeland Security or State Department. Continued compliance with existing United States or foreign immigration laws or changes in such laws, making it more difficult to hire foreign nationals or limiting the ability of the Company to retain work permit employees in the United States or employees working under work permits in other countries, could increase the Company's cost of recruiting and retaining the requisite number of IT professionals, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, operating results and financial condition.
Intellectual Property Rights
In order to protect its proprietary rights in its various intellectual properties, the Company currently relies on copyrights, trade secrets and unpatented proprietary know-how that may be duplicated by others. The Company employs various methods, including nondisclosure agreements and other contractual arrangements with employees and suppliers and technical protective measures to protect its proprietary know-how. There can be no assurance that the steps taken by the Company to protect its proprietary rights will be adequate to deter misappropriation of its intellectual property, or that the Company will be able to deter unauthorized use and take appropriate steps to enforce its rights. In addition, the failure of such protective measures could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, operating results and financial condition. There can be no assurance that other persons will not independently develop such know-how or obtain access to it, or independently develop technologies that are substantially equivalent or superior to enherent's technology. The Company presently holds no patents or registered copyrights, but enherent has several registered trademarks for "enherent" and the enherent logo. Although the Company believes that its intellectual property rights, including intellectual property rights licensed from third parties by the Company, do not infringe on the intellectual property rights of others, there can be no assurance that: (i) such a claim will not be asserted against the Company in the future; (ii) assertion of such claims will not result in litigation or that the Company would prevail in such litigation or be able to obtain a license for the use of any infringed intellectual property from a third party on commercially reasonable terms; or (iii) any of enherent's software could be redesigned on an economical basis or at all, or that any such redesigned software would be competitive with the software of the Company's competitors. The Company expects that the risk of infringement claims against the Company will increase if more of enherent's competitors are able to successfully obtain patents for software products and processes. Any such claims, regardless of their outcome, could result in substantial costs and diversion of resources and could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, operating results and financial condition.
16
Certain Anti-Takeover Effects
The Company's Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation and Amended and Restated By-Laws and the Delaware General Corporation Law include provisions that may be deemed to have anti-takeover effects and may delay, deter or prevent a takeover attempt that stockholders might consider in their best interests. These include provisions under which only the Board of Directors, the Chairman of the Board or the President may call meetings of stockholders and certain advance-notice procedures for nominating candidates for election to the Board of Directors. Directors of the Company are divided into three classes and are elected to serve staggered three-year terms. The Board of Directors of the Company is empowered to issue up to 10,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock and to determine the price, rights, preferences and privileges of such shares without any further stockholder action. The existence of this "blank-check" Preferred Stock could render more difficult or discourage an attempt to obtain control of the Company by means of a tender offer, merger, proxy contest or otherwise. In addition, this "blank-check" Preferred Stock, and any issuance thereof, may have an adverse effect on the market price of the Company's Common Stock.
Control by Principal Stockholders
As of December 31, 2002, Douglas K. Mellinger, Gregory S. Mellinger and Paul L. Mellinger owned approximately 23% of the outstanding voting equity securities and therefore had significant control of the vote on all matters submitted to a vote of the Company's stockholders, including extraordinary transactions such as mergers, sales of all or substantially all of the Company's assets or going-private transactions. Such control may discourage certain types of transactions involving an actual or potential change of control of the Company, including transactions in which the holders of Common Stock might receive a premium for their shares over prevailing market prices.
Douglas K. Mellinger is a former Chairman of the Board of Directors and former Chief Executive Officer of enherent. Douglas K. Mellinger beneficially owns approximately 8% of the Company's voting equity securities. Gregory S. Mellinger is a former Chief Operating Officer, Director and President of the Company's Professional Services division. Gregory S. Mellinger beneficially owns approximately 7% of the Company's voting equity securities. Paul L. Mellinger, brother of Douglas and Gregory Mellinger, is not and never has been an employee of the Company. Paul Mellinger owns approximately 8% of the Company's voting equity securities.
enherent accepted the proposal of two existing shareholders of the Company, Tudor Investment Corporation and The Travelers, which was designed to allow enherent to receive an immediate infusion of equity capital to meet its working capital needs.
On April 13, 2000, enherent entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with Tudor Investment Corporation, The Travelers and EGF Eurofinancial Investment Company for $8,000,000 in working capital funding in exchange for the private placement of enherent Series A Senior Participating Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock and Warrants. Under the terms of the Agreement, the Company's Series A Senior Participating Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock was purchased at a price per share of $1.00. The Preferred Stock is convertible into an equal number of shares of the Company's Common Stock, subject to adjustment under certain circumstances. In connection with this transaction, enherent issued to the investors Warrants to purchase four million shares of Common Stock, subject to adjustment under certain circumstances, at an exercise price of $1.00 per share.
As a consequence of the Tudor Investment Corporation's purchase of Series A Senior Participating Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock and Tudor's ownership of Common Stock, Tudor owns approximately 18% of the Company's voting equity securities. Tudor's Series A preferred shares vote on an as-converted basis, representing approximately 15% of the Company's voting equity securities.

On January 30, 2002, with the approval of its Board of Directors, enherent entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement (the "Stock Purchase Agreement") with The Travelers Indemnity Company ("The Travelers"), pursuant to which The Travelers converted 1,000,000 shares of its Series A Senior Participating Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock into 1,000,000 shares of enherent Common Stock. Under the terms of the Stock Purchase Agreement, The Travelers then sold the 1,000,000 shares of Common Stock to enherent for $200,000. enherent has retired the 1,000,000 shares of Series A Senior Participating Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock.
The Travelers sold its Series A Senior Participating Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock on December 17, 2002, to Primesoft, LLC ("Primesoft"). As a result of its purchase of The Travelers' 2,750,000 shares of Series A Senior Participating Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock, Primesoft owns approximately 11% of the Company's voting equity securities. Primesoft's Series A preferred shares vote on an as-converted basis, representing approximately 11% of the Company's voting equity securities.
Possible Volatility of Stock Price
The stock market has from time to time experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations that have often been unrelated to the operating performance of particular companies. In addition, factors such as announcements of acquisitions of businesses, technological innovations, new products or services or new client engagements by the Company or its competitors or third parties, as well as market conditions in the IT services industry or the flow of Company business, may have a significant impact on the market price of the Company's Common Stock.
Shares Eligible for Future Sale; Registration Rights
As of December 31, 2002, the Company had an aggregate of 17,502,188 shares of Common Stock and Non-Voting Common Stock outstanding, 16,825,032 of which were freely tradable without restriction or further registration under the Securities Act of 1933 and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, as amended (the "Securities Act"), except those shares, if any, owned or acquired by affiliates of the Company. The remaining 677,156 shares in the aggregate of Common Stock and Non-Voting Common Stock outstanding are "restricted securities" within the meaning of Rule 144 under the Securities Act. Furthermore, on January 27, 2000, the Company filed a registration statement on Form S-8 registering 1,000,000 shares of Common Stock reserved for issuance to employees who elect to purchase such Common Stock as an investment option under the Company's Stock Option Plan.
Tudor beneficially owns (currently owns and has the right to acquire) approximately 28% of the Company's Common Stock and Common Stock equivalents outstanding (through its ownership of Common Stock, Warrants and Convertible Preferred Stock). The shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Convertible Preferred Stock have been registered under an effective registration statement and can be resold upon conversion of the Convertible Preferred Stock. Similarly, Primesoft beneficially owns (currently owns and has the right to acquire) approximately 21% of the Company's Common Stock and Common Stock equivalents outstanding (through its ownership of Common Stock, Warrants and Convertible Preferred Stock). The Company cannot predict the effect that future sales of stock, especially by Tudor or Primesoft, will have on the market price of enherent Common Stock prevailing from time to time. Sales of substantial amounts of enherent Common Stock (including shares issued upon the conversion of the Convertible Preferred Stock or the exercise of stock options or Warrants), and even the perception that such sales could occur, may adversely affect prevailing market prices for enherent Common Stock.

The

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and schedule based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of enherent Corp. and Subsidiaries at December 31, 2001 and 2002, the consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2002, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
Years ended December 31, 2000, 2001 and 2002
1. Description of Business
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of enherent Corp. ("enherent") and its wholly owned subsidiaries (collectively, the "Company"), formerly PRT Group Inc. and subsidiaries ("PRT"). enherent is a provider of information technology services including strategic consulting, project solutions and staff augmentation principally to industries including insurance, financial services, banking and capital markets.
The Company has account management offices located in Connecticut and Texas and a sales location in Connecticut. The Company closed its Solution Center in Barbados, West Indies in 2002. During 2000, the Company relocated its corporate headquarters to Dallas, Texas. In 2002 the Company announced that its Connecticut office would serve as the Company's corporate headquarters. This transition was completed in December 2002.
The Company anticipates that its primary uses of working capital in the near term will be to fund the Company's operations. Management believes that the cash equivalents are sufficient to fund operations for the next 12 months. If available cash and cash generated from operations is insufficient to satisfy the Company's liquidity requirements, the Company may in the future be required to seek additional sources of financing. If the Company is unsuccessful in obtaining additional sources of financing, the Company could experience difficulty meeting its current obligations as they become due.
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Revenue Recognition
Revenue is primarily derived from placing consultants on engagements with clients for a specified period of time. Revenue is recognized as services are performed on a time-and-materials basis and calculated from a consultant's time sheet and expense report using agreed-upon hourly rates. From time to time, project development work with a defined scope and a detailed budget is sold at a fixed price. Revenue for fixed price project development contracts is recognized in the period earned using the proportional performance method with revenues being recognized ratably over the performance period. From time to time, the Company also enters into fixed priced software development contracts. The Company recognizes revenue from fixed-price software contracts using the percentage of completion method of accounting based on hours to date in comparison to total hours projected at completion. In 2002, less than two percent of the Company's revenues were from fixed-price contracts. Financial reporting of these agreements depends on estimates, which are assessed continually during the term of the agreement (including overruns and additional charges for scope changes), as such estimated amounts are subject to revisions as the project progresses. Anticipated losses on fixed-price contracts are recognized when estimable. Cash payments received but unearned are recognized as deferred revenue.
Accounts ReceivableAllowance for Doubtful Accounts
The Company's accounts receivable balance is reported net of allowances for amounts not expected to be collected from clients. Because our accounts receivable typically are unsecured, the Company periodically evaluates the collectability of these accounts based on a combination of factors, including a particular customer's ability to pay as well as the age of the receivables. To evaluate a specific customer's ability to pay, the Company analyzes financial statements, payment history and third-party credit analysis reports. In cases where the evidence suggests a customer may not be able to
F-7
satisfy its obligations, the Company sets up a specific reserve in an amount determined to be appropriate for the perceived risk.
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of enherent and its subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Research and Software Development Costs
The Company expenses as incurred or capitalizes costs incurred to develop new software products in accordance with the Statement of Position 98-1, "Accounting for the Cost of Computer Software Development or Obtained for Internal Use" ("SOP 98-1"). SOP 98-1 requires that costs incurred in the preliminary and post-implementation stages of an internal use software project are expensed as incurred and that certain costs incurred in the application development stage of the project be capitalized. Such costs capitalized under SOP 98-1 are included in fixed assets in the accompanying balance sheet. No research and software development costs were capitalized in 2000, 2001 or 2002.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The carrying values of financial instruments approximate their estimated fair value as a result of variable market interest rates and the short-term maturity of these instruments.
Cash and Equivalents
Cash and equivalents includes all cash, demand deposits, money market accounts and debt instruments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less.
Fixed Assets
Fixed assets are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation on furniture and equipment, computer equipment and software is calculated on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, ranging from three to seven years. Equipment held under capital leases and leasehold improvements is amortized using the straight-line method over the shorter of the lease term or estimated useful life of the asset.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes on the liability method. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized with respect to the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying values and tax bases of existing assets and liabilities and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. 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 the period that includes the enactment date.
F-8
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Goodwill
Goodwill was being amortized over 20 years using the straight-line method. The Company systematically reviewed the recoverability of its goodwill by comparing the unamortized carrying value to anticipated undiscounted future cash flows. It was determined that impairment existed, and the future cashflows were discounted to determine the impairment amount. Based on the results of this analysis in 2001, it was determined that goodwill was impaired and a charge of $14,974,000 was recorded (see note 7).
Net Loss Per Share
The Company calculates earnings per share in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128 ("SFAS 128"), "Computation of Earnings Per Share." Accordingly basic earnings per share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Dilutive shares consist of the incremental common shares issuable upon the conversion of the Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock (using the if-converted method) and related warrants and shares issuable upon the exercise of stock options (using the treasury stock method); such additional shares are excluded from the calculation as the effect of including such shares is anti-dilutive.
The following is a summary of the calculation of loss per share (in thousands, except per share data):

The Company has excluded the impact of the Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock and related warrants and stock options outstanding under the Company's Stock Option Plan as the effect of including such shares would be anti-dilutive.
Stock-Based Compensation
At December 31, 2002, the Company had a stock option plan, which is described more fully in Note 6. The Company accounts for stock options using the intrinsic value method set forth in Accounting Principles Board ("APB") Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees" and accordingly, recognizes compensation expense only if the fair value of the underlying Common Stock exceeds the exercise price of the stock option on the date of grant. As permitted by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation" ("SFAS 123"),
F-9
the Company continues to account for stock-based compensation in accordance with APB Opinion No. 25 and has elected the pro forma disclosure alternative of SFAS No. 123.
The following table illustrates the effect on net loss and loss per share if we applied the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS 123, instead of APB Opinion No. 25's intrinsic value method to account for stock-based employee compensation (in thousands, except per share amounts):

Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and accounts receivables. Concentrations of credit risk with respect to accounts receivable are limited due to the creditworthiness of customers comprising the Company's customer base. Management regularly monitors the creditworthiness of its customers and generally requires no collateral. Management believes that it has adequately provided for any exposure to potential credit losses.
3. Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In July 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 146, "Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities" ("SFAS 146"). This statement nullifies Emerging Issues Task Force ("EITF") Issue No. 94-3, "Liability Recognition for Certain Employee Termination Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an Activity (including
F-10
Certain Costs Incurred in a Restructuring)." The standard requires companies to recognize costs associated with exit or disposal activities when they are incurred rather than at the date of commitment to an exit or disposal plan. This statement is to be applied prospectively to exit or disposal activities initiated after December 31, 2002. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a significant effect on the Company's financial position or results of operations.
In August 2001, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets" ("SFAS No. 144"), which is effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2002, and superseded "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed of" ("SFAS No. 121"). SFAS No. 144 provides a single method of accounting for long-lived assets to be disposed of and retains requirements found in SFAS No. 121 with regards to the impairments of long-lived assets. The implementation of SFAS No. 144 did not have a material effect on the Company's results of operations, cash flows or financial position in the 12-month period ended December 31, 2002.
4. Fixed Assets

Depreciation expense was approximately $2,717,000, $1,433,000 and $809,000 for the years ended December 31, 2000, 2001 and 2002, respectively.
Fixed assets include assets under capital lease aggregating approximately $541,000 at December 31, 2001 and 2002. The accumulated amortization related to assets under capital leases is approximately $485,000 and $503,000 at December 31, 2001 and 2002, respectively.
5. Series A Senior Participating Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock
On April 13, 2000, the Company issued 8,000,000 shares of its Series A Senior Participating Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock ("Preferred Stock") for $8,000,000. The Company also issued a Warrant to the Preferred Stock investors to purchase 4,000,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock at an initial exercise price of $1.00 per share subject to adjustment, as defined. The Preferred Stock is convertible, subject to adjustment, as defined, into Common Stock on a one-for-one basis at any time, and is redeemable after April 12, 2005 at the option of the holder at its liquidation value plus accrued and unpaid dividends and contains voting rights on an as-converted basis. Each Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of Common Stock prior to April 14, 2005. The Preferred Stock and related Warrants were sold below the then-market value of the Company's Common Stock. Accordingly, the guaranteed discount on the conversion of the Preferred Stock and the value of the
F-11
Warrants, aggregating approximately $5,200,000, was deemed to be a dividend for purpose of calculating loss per share. The Preferred Stock is being accreted to its liquidation value at April 12, 2005. Accretion was $308,000, $511,000 and $511,000 for the years ended December 31, 2000, 2001 and 2002, respectively.
On January 30, 2002, with the approval of its Board of Directors, enherent entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement (the "Stock Purchase Agreement") with The Travelers Indemnity Company ("The Travelers"), pursuant to which The Travelers converted 1,000,000 shares of its Series A Senior Participating Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock into 1,000,000 shares of enherent Common Stock. Under the terms of the Stock Purchase Agreement, The Travelers then sold the 1,000,000 shares of Common Stock to enherent for $200,000. enherent has retired the 1,000,000 shares of Series A Senior Participating Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock. The Preferred Stock was carried at approximately $720,000 at the date of the transaction. Because the Common Stock was purchased below the carrying value of the Preferred Stock, a benefit to common shareholders of approximately $527,000 was recorded.
6. Stockholders' Equity
In August 2000, the Board of Directors approved the buy-back of up to 2,000,000 shares of the Company's outstanding Common Stock. In 2001, the Company repurchased approximately 849,000 shares of its outstanding Common Stock for approximately $166,000. In October 2002, the Board of Directors increased this buy-back figure to 4,000,000 shares of the Company's outstanding Common Stock.
In June 1996, the Company established a Stock Option Plan (the "Option Plan") for officers, employees, consultants and non-employee directors to purchase shares of the Company's Common Stock. The Option Plan requires the Company to reserve a sufficient number of authorized shares for issuance upon the exercise of all options that may be granted under the Option Plan. In January 2000, the Board of Directors approved an amendment to the Option Plan that increased the shares reserved by 1,000,000. At December 31, 2002, the Company had reserved 4,108,425 shares of Common Stock for the exercise and future grants of stock options under such Option Plan.
The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors is responsible for determining the type of award, when and to whom awards are granted, the number of shares and terms of the awards and the exercise price. The exercise price shall not be less than the fair market value of the Company's Common Stock at the date the option is granted. As such, the Company has not recorded compensation expense in connection with these awards. The options are exercisable for a period not to exceed ten years from the date of the grant. Vesting periods range from immediate vesting to five years.

14. Litigation
A former Chief Financial Officer of the Company filed a Demand for Arbitration on or about October 27, 2000, claiming that at the time of his termination he was entitled to stock options worth $3,000,000 or the stock option value in cash. The Company filed a Motion for Summary Judgment that was denied on November 13, 2001. The parties reached a settlement agreement on May 22, 2002, for amounts substantially less than the amount claimed. At December 31, 2002, all amounts under this settlement have been paid.
On September 10, 2001 enherent filed a lawsuit in Federal District Court in Virginia for breach of contract to recover monies owed to enherent by Interior Systems, Inc. ("ISI") for services provided by enherent in the amount of approximately $785,000. On October 12, 2001, ISI filed a counterclaim against enherent claiming that enherent breached the contract and inflated invoices during the performance of those services in the amount of approximately $1,153,000. enherent denied these allegations. In December 2001 the parties reached a settlement agreement whereby ISI agreed to pay $250,000 to enherent. As of March 1, 2003, the Company has received $225,000 under this agreement.
In the normal course of business, various claims are made against the Company. At this time, in the opinion of management, there are no pending claims, the outcome of which are expected to result in a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial position or results of operations of the Company.
