3. RECLASSIFICATIONS

     Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.

4. GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS

     Under the transition provisions of SFAS 142, the Company was required to test existing goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite useful lives for impairment as of January 1, 2002. The Company completed the required testing during the second quarter of 2002. As a result, the Company reported a $21.8 million goodwill impairment loss in the Business and IT services reporting unit (a component of the Strategic Initiative segment), arising from the initial application of SFAS 142, which required the carrying amount of goodwill be compared to the fair value. The fair value of that reporting unit was determined by estimating the present value of future cash flows and by reviewing the valuations of comparable public companies.

     SFAS 142 requires that goodwill be tested for impairment at least annually. The Company will complete its annual impairment testing in the fourth quarter. Additionally, goodwill is tested on an interim basis if an event or circumstance indicates that it is more likely than not that an impairment loss has been incurred.

     The following is a summary of changes in the carrying amount of goodwill by segment:

                                 
    Strategic
