NOTE 1. GENERAL

The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The interim condensed consolidated financial statements include the consolidated accounts of Perot Systems Corporation and its majority-owned subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”) with all significant intercompany transactions eliminated. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair statement of the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented have been made. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such SEC rules and regulations. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2002, in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 12, 2003. Operating results for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2003, are not necessarily indicative of the results for the year ending December 31, 2003.

Certain of the 2002 amounts in the accompanying financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation.

Change in Accounting Principle for Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables

The Company has long-term fixed-price contracts that include multiple deliverables. Prior to January 1, 2003, the Company recognized revenue on these contracts under the percentage-of-completion method using incurred costs as a measure of progress towards completion. On November 21, 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Emerging Issues Task Force reached a consensus on Issue No. 00-21, “Accounting for Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables” (“EITF 00-21”), regarding whether an arrangement involving multiple deliverables contains more than one unit of accounting and how arrangement consideration should be measured and allocated to the separate units of accounting in an arrangement. The Company was required to apply the provisions of EITF 00-21 to all new agreements with multiple deliverables entered into in fiscal periods beginning after June 15, 2003. Alternatively, the Company was permitted to apply EITF 00-21 to existing agreements and record the effect of adoption as the cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle. On January 1, 2003, the Company adopted EITF 00-21 and changed its method of accounting for revenue from agreements with multiple deliverables for both existing and prospective customer contracts.

The Company’s adoption of EITF 00-21 on January 1, 2003, resulted in an expense for the cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle of $69,288 ($42,959, net of the applicable income tax benefit), or $0.37 per diluted share, which includes approximately $19,500 of expense (approximately $12,090, net of the applicable income tax benefit), or $0.11 per diluted share, to recognize an estimated loss on a contract element included in a contract that the Company expected to be profitable in the aggregate over its term.

For contracts including multiple deliverables meeting the separation criteria of EITF 00-21, the Company allocates the total arrangement consideration to each separate unit of accounting based on the relative fair values of the deliverables in each unit of accounting and recognizes revenue based on the Company’s revenue recognition policy applicable to each separate unit of accounting. In general, EITF 00-21 limits the amount of revenue allocated to an individual deliverable under an agreement to the lesser of its relative fair value or the amount not contingent on the Company’s performance of other deliverable elements under the agreement, regardless of the probability of the Company’s performance.

Long-term accrued revenue on in-progress fixed-price contracts totaled $7,471 and $74,489 at September 30, 2003, and December 31, 2002, respectively. The amount of revenue the Company recognized during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2003, that was previously recognized and included as a component of the cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle relating to the adoption of EITF 00-21, was not significant.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company has elected to follow Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees” (“APB 25”), and related interpretations in accounting for its employee stock options. Under APB 25, compensation expense is recorded when the exercise price of employee stock options is less than the fair value of the underlying stock on the date of grant. The Company has implemented the disclosure-only provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards Board No. (“FAS”) 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation,” and FAS 148, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation Transition and Disclosure.” Had the Company elected to adopt the expense recognition provisions of FAS 123, the pro forma impact on net income (loss) and earnings (loss) per common share would have been as follows:

The Company utilizes the Black-Scholes option pricing model to calculate its pro forma stock-based compensation expense, and the assumptions used for each period are as follows:

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

Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 46

In January 2003, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 46, “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities” (“FIN 46”), an interpretation of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51, “Consolidated Financial Statements,” which changes the criteria for consolidation by business enterprises of variable interest entities. FIN 46 requires a variable interest entity to be consolidated by a company if that company is subject to a majority of the risk of loss from the variable interest entity’s activities or entitled to receive a majority of the entity’s residual returns or both. The consolidation requirements of FIN 46 apply immediately to variable interest entities created after January 31, 2003. On October 9, 2003, the FASB deferred the effective date for applying the provisions of FIN 46 to variable interest entities created prior to February 1, 2003, which now must be consolidated as of the end of the first interim or annual period ending after December 15, 2003. FIN 46 may be applied prospectively with a cumulative-effect adjustment as of the date on which it is first applied or by restating previously issued financial statements for one or more years with a cumulative-effect adjustment as of the beginning of the first year restated.

In June 2000, the Company entered into an operating lease contract with a variable interest entity for the use of land and office buildings in Plano, Texas, including a data center facility. The Company currently does not consolidate this entity but will be required to consolidate this entity under FIN 46 beginning on December 31, 2003. The Company does not plan to restate any previously issued financial statements in connection with its adoption of FIN 46, but it will provide disclosures of the pro forma impact of FIN 46 on all previous fiscal periods presented in its financial statements. Accordingly, upon consolidation of this entity on December 31, 2003, the Company will increase its assets and long-term debt by approximately $65,200 and $75,500, respectively. Additionally, the Company will record an expense for the cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle of approximately $10,300 ($6,400, net of the applicable income tax benefit), or approximately $.06 per share (diluted), representing primarily the cumulative depreciation expense on the office buildings and data center facility through December 31, 2003. In 2004, the Company will begin recording additional depreciation expense of approximately $3,200 per year relating to these newly consolidated assets.

NOTE 2. ACQUISITIONS
