NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1: BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Electronic Data Systems Corporation ("EDS" or the "Company") have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, which are of a normal recurring nature and necessary for a fair presentation, have been included. The results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for any other interim period or for the full year. The information contained herein should be read in conjunction with the Company's 2001 Annual Report on Form 10‑K.
Certain reclassifications have been made to the 2001 unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements to conform to the 2002 presentation.
NOTE 2: EARNINGS PER SHARE
The weighted-average number of shares outstanding used to compute basic and diluted earnings per share are as follows (in millions):
|
|
2002 |
2001 |
|
For the three months ended June 30: |
|
|
|
Basic earnings per share |
481 |
468 |
|
Diluted earnings per share |
490 |
482 |
|
For the six months ended June 30: |
|
|
|
Basic earnings per share |
480 |
467 |
|
Diluted earnings per share |
492 |
480 |
|
|
|
|
Securities that were outstanding but were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because their effect was antidilutive include options and contracts to purchase 48 million and 7 million shares of common stock for the three months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively, 50 million and 8 million shares of common stock for the six months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively, and debt and related forward purchase contracts convertible into 33 million shares of common stock for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2002.
NOTE 3: ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE AND UNBILLED REVENUE
Unbilled revenue of $2,576 million and $1,845 million at June 30, 2002 and December 31, 2001, respectively, represents costs and related profits in excess of billings on certain unit-price and fixed-price contracts. Unbilled revenue was not billable at the balance sheet dates but is recoverable over the remaining life of the contract through billings made in accordance with contractual agreements. At June 30, 2002, total receivables relating to contracts with U.S. Federal and other government clients, primarily the U.K. and state governments, were $897 million and $1,189 million, respectively.
NOTE 4: PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT
Property and equipment is stated net of accumulated depreciation of $4.8 billion and $4.6 billion at June 30, 2002 and December 31, 2001, respectively. Depreciation expense for the six months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001 was $476 million and $490 million, respectively.

NOTE 5: GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE
ASSETS
In July 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. SFAS No. 142 requires that goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite useful lives no longer be amortized but instead tested for impairment at least annually. SFAS No. 142 also requires that intangible assets with definite useful lives be amortized over their respective estimated useful lives to their estimated residual values. The Company fully adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 142 effective January 1, 2002.
Under SFAS No. 142, the Company is required to perform transitional impairment tests for its goodwill and certain intangible assets as of the date of adoption. The Company completed the required transitional impairment tests during the six months ended June 30, 2002. No impairment losses were identified as a result of these tests.
The following
is a summary of net income and earnings per share for the three months and six
months ended June 30, 2001 as adjusted to remove the amortization of
goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite useful lives (in millions,
except per share amounts):

Goodwill
additions during the six months ended June 30, 2002 resulted from adjustments
to the preliminary purchase price allocations related to acquisitions. Other
changes to the carrying amount of goodwill were primarily due to foreign
currency translation adjustments.
Intangible assets with definite useful lives are amortized over their respective estimated useful lives to their estimated residual values. Effective January 1, 2002, intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are not amortized but instead tested for impairment at least annually.

The Company
recorded restructuring charges and asset writedowns totaling $1,031 million in
1999 and 2000, net of reversals of $161 million in 2000 and 2001. Amounts
recorded for restructuring activities in 1999 and 2000 provided for workforce
reductions of approximately 16,050 employees. Total involuntary termination charges
in 1999 and 2000 amounted to $806 million. These initiatives also resulted in
charges of $99 million resulting from the exit of certain business activities
and the consolidation of facilities and $126 million resulting from asset
writedowns. During 1999, the Company's workforce was reduced by approximately
3,240 employees, who were identified in the 1999 restructuring initiative, due
to the acceptance of the Company's early retirement offer. During 2001, the
Company's workforce was reduced by approximately 1,230 employees, who were
identified in the 2000 restructuring initiative, due to the sale of a
subsidiary. Through June 30, 2002, approximately 11,450 employees have left the
Company through involuntary termination as a result of the 1999 and 2000 initiatives,
$526 million of termination benefits have been charged to the accrual and $81
million has been paid in connection with the exit activities described above.
Restructuring actions contemplated under the 1999 and 2000 restructuring plans
are essentially complete as of June 30, 2002 with remaining reserves of $36
million being comprised primarily of future severance-related payments to
terminated employees, future lease payments for exited facilities and accruals
for other restructuring activities. Management expects that remaining cash
expenditures relating to these charges will be incurred in 2002 and 2003.
NOTE 7: COMPREHENSIVE INCOME
Comprehensive income was $539 million and $235 million for the three months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively, and $848 million and $356 million for the six months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively. The primary differences between comprehensive income and net income for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2002 resulted from foreign currency translation adjustments. The primary differences between comprehensive income and net income for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2001 resulted from the reclassification of certain available-for-sale securities into the trading securities classification (see Note 9), and foreign currency translation adjustments.

NOTE 8: SEGMENT INFORMATION
Effective April 15, 2002, the Company combined elements of Information Solutions, Business Process Management and E Solutions into two new lines of business: Operations Solutions and Solutions Consulting. The Operations Solutions line of business integrates the IT outsourcing operations, including centralized and distributed systems and communications management, of Information Solutions with the business process outsourcing capabilities of Business Process Management. The Solutions Consulting line of business combines the capabilities of E Solutions with the applications development business of Information Solutions. A.T. Kearney and Product Lifecycle Management ("PLM") Solutions remain separate lines of business. The accompanying segment information is stated in accordance with the new organizational structure. Prior period segment data has been restated to conform to the 2002 presentation.
The PLM Solutions line of business, launched during the three months ended September 30, 2001, is comprised of the former Structural Dynamics Research Corporation ("SDRC") and the Unigraphics Solutions Inc. ("UGS") businesses. The Company acquired SDRC on August 31, 2001, and completed the acquisition of the 14% minority interest in UGS that had been held by the public on September 28, 2001.
The Company uses operating income, which consists of segment revenues less segment costs and expenses, to measure segment profit or loss.

NOTE 9: CHANGE IN ACCOUNTING FOR DERIVATIVES
Effective January 1, 2001, the Company adopted SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, as amended. SFAS No. 133 establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts, and for hedging activities.
