NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(UNAUDITED)

1.     The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. 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 rules and regulations.

In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Certain previously reported amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation. These condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and related notes contained in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2001.

2.     The results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2002 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected during the balance of the year ending December 31, 2002.

3.     During the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2002, the Company utilized $111,000 and $208,000, respectively, of its restructuring reserves for payments related to employee separations and lease terminations. As of June 30, 2002, remaining restructuring reserves were $1.8 million, $1.4 million of which is included in other noncurrent liabilities. The noncurrent portion of accrued restructuring costs consists of long-term lease obligations related to various United Kingdom offices, which the Company has vacated and is currently attempting to sublease. Management periodically reviews the restructuring reserves and believes the remaining reserves are adequate to complete its plan.

4.     During the quarter ended June 30, 2002, the Company made additional payments of $2.9 million to the former owners of the Garden City Group pursuant to the 1999 purchase agreement. There are no additional contingent payments due under this agreement. On July 3, 2002, the Company acquired the operations of the
