Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(In Thousands Except Per Share Amounts)

 

Note A.

Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and, accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements.  In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations for the interim periods reported and of the Company’s financial condition as of the date of the interim balance sheet have been included.  Operating results for the three-month period ended March 31, 2003 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2003 or for any other period.

 

 

 

The balance sheet at December 31, 2002 has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date, but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements.

 

 

 

Certain reclassifications have been made to the 2002 financial statements to conform to the 2003 presentation.  Such reclassifications have no effect on previously reported net income or stockholders’ equity.

 

 

 

For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2002 and filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 26, 2003.

Stock-Based Compensation

 

The Company’s stock-based compensation plans provide for grants of stock options to employees, officers and directors of, and consultants and advisors to, the Company at a purchase price of not less than 100% of the fair market value of the Company’s stock on the date of grant.  This stock-based compensation is accounted for utilizing the intrinsic value method in accordance with the provisions of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25 (APB 25), “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,”

 

6



 

 

and related Interpretations.  As such, the Company does not recognize stock-based compensation expense in its calculation of net income as reported in its condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

 

 

Had the Company accounted for stock-based compensation utilizing the fair value method and provisions proscribed in Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (FAS No. 123), “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation,” the Company’s net income and income per share would have been reduced to the pro forma amounts indicated below:

Note D.

Comprehensive Income

 

Total comprehensive income (i.e. net income plus available-for-sale securities valuation adjustments, currency translation adjustments and adjustments related to a foreign defined benefit plan, net of tax) for the three-month period ended March 31, 2003 and 2002 was $10.7 million and $6.5 million, respectively.

 

 

Note E.

Business Acquisitions

 

On March 15, 2002, Keane acquired SignalTree Solutions Holding, Inc. (SignalTree Solutions), a privately held, United States-based corporation with two software development facilities in India and additional operations in the United States.  Under the terms of the merger agreement, Keane paid $68.2 million in cash for SignalTree Solutions.

 

 

 

The Company accounted for the acquisition as a purchase, pursuant to which the assets and liabilities of SignalTree Solutions, including intangible assets, were recorded at their respective fair values.  All identifiable intangible assets are being amortized over their estimated useful lives with the exception of goodwill.  The financial position, results of operations and cash flows of SignalTree Solutions were included in the Company’s financial statements effective as of the acquisition date.

 

 

 

The total cost of the acquisition was $78.9 million.  Portions of the purchase price, including intangible assets, were identified by independent appraisers utilizing proven valuation procedures and techniques.  Goodwill was recorded at $41.3 million and other identified intangible assets were valued at $21.5 million.  At the date of acquisition, the Company entered into a plan to exit certain activities and consolidate facilities.  As a result, the Company recorded a restructuring liability of $1.6 million related to the lease obligations and certain other costs for the consolidated facilities.  In accordance with EITF 95-3, “Recognition of Liabilities in Connection with a Purchase Business Combination,” these costs have been reflected in the purchase price of the acquisition.

In addition to the SignalTree Solutions acquisition, the Company completed an acquisition of a business complementary to the Company’s business strategy during the Third Quarter of 2002.  The merger and consideration costs of this acquisition, which were accounted for using the purchase method of accounting, totaled $13.4 million in 2002.  The purchase price included contingent consideration based

upon operating performance of the acquired business.  During the First Quarter of 2003, the Company paid an additional $895,000 related to earn-outs and has recorded this amount as additional purchase price.  Future earn-outs are based on specific net revenue targets.  Payments for achieving these goals will range from $1.0 to $2.0 million in future periods.  The Company also recorded $3.0 million as deferred revenue related to contingent service credits and issued a $3.0 million non-interest bearing note payable as partial consideration.  The note has a one-year term with a possible one-year extension based on additional acquisition service credits.  As of March 31, 2003, the Company had not recorded additional contingent liabilities in relation to the earn-outs.

 

 

 

The results of operations of these acquired companies have been included in the Company’s condensed consolidated statement of income from the date of acquisition.  The excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net assets has been allocated to identifiable intangible assets and goodwill.  Identifiable intangible assets are being amortized on a straight-line basis over periods ranging from three to seven years.  Pro forma results of operations for these acquisitions have not been provided, as they were not material to the Company on either an individual or an aggregate basis.

 

 

Note F.

Restructuring

 

In the Fourth Quarters of 2002, 2001, 2000, and 1999, the Company recorded restructuring charges of $17.6 million, $10.4 million, $8.6 million, and $13.7 million, respectively.  Of these charges, $3.2 million, $4.4 million, $1.7 million and $3.8 million related to a workforce reduction of approximately 229, 900, 200 and 600 employees for the years 2002, 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively.  In 2002, the Company also released excess accruals of $251,000 in connection with workforce reduction, which resulted in a net workforce restructuring charge of $2.9 million.  Cash expenditures in the First Quarter of 2003 related to workforce reductions were $1.1 million.

 

 

 

The Company also performed a review of its business strategy and concluded that consolidating some of its branch offices was key to its success.  As a result of this review, the Company’s restructuring charges included $12.1 million in 2002, $4.0 million in 2001, $3.5 million in 2000, and $5.1 million in 1999 for branch office closings and certain other expenditures.  In conjunction with the review during the Fourth Quarter of 2002, the Company also performed a review of accrual balances for properties restructured in prior years.  As a result, the Company determined that the cost to consolidate and/or close certain non-profitable offices would be higher than the original estimate.  The change in estimates resulted in a net charge to the Company’s restructuring liability of $756,000 and $1.2 million in 2002 and 2001, respectively.  The resulting net charge in 2002 and 2001 was $12.9 million and $5.1 million, respectively.  Cash expenditures in the First Quarter of 2003 related to branch office closures and other expenditures were $2.4 million.

 

 

 

On November 30, 2001, the Company completed the acquisition of Metro Information Services, Inc. (Metro).  At the date of acquisition, the Company entered into a plan to exit certain activities and consolidate facilities.  As a result, the Company recorded a restructuring liability of $11.0 million in 2001 related to the lease obligations and certain other costs for the consolidated facilities.  During 2002, the Company adjusted the valuation of the liability assumed for the restructured facilities and for other matters unresolved at the time of the acquisition by $3.1 million.  On March 15, 2002, Keane acquired SignalTree Solutions.  At the date of acquisition, the Company entered into a plan to exit certain activities and consolidate facilities.  As a result, the Company recorded a restructuring liability of $1.6 million related to the lease obligations and certain other costs for the consolidated facilities.  In accordance with EITF 95-3, “Recognition of Liabilities in Connection with a Purchase Business Combination,” these costs have been reflected in the purchase price of the acquisition.

Related Parties, Commitments, and Contingencies

 

The principal executive office of the Company as of March 31, 2003, was located at 100 City Square in Boston, Massachusetts (the “New Facility”).  The Company leases the New Facility from Gateway Developers LLC (“Gateway LLC”) as described below.  The Company leases additional office space and apartments in more than seventy locations in North America, the United Kingdom, and India under operating leases and capital leases, some of which may be renewed for periods up to five years, subject to increased rental fees.

 

 

 

In October 2001, the Company entered into a lease with Gateway LLC for a term of twelve years, pursuant to which the Company agreed to lease approximately 95,000 square feet of office and development space.  The Company leases approximately 57% of the New Facility and the remaining 43% is, or will be, occupied by other tenants.  John Keane Family LLC is a member of Gateway LLC.  The

 

10



 

 

members of John Keane Family LLC are trusts for the benefit of John F. Keane, Chairman of the Board of the Company, and his immediate family members.

 

 

 

On October 31, 2001, Gateway LLC entered into a $39.4 million construction loan with Citizens Bank of Massachusetts (the “Gateway Loan”) in connection with the New Facility and an adjacent building located at 20 City Square, Boston, Massachusetts.  John Keane Family LLC and John F. Keane are each liable for certain obligations under the Gateway Loan if and to the extent Gateway LLC requires funds to comply with its obligations under the Gateway Loan.  Stephen D. Steinour, a director of the Company, is Chief Executive Officer of Citizens Bank of Pennsylvania.  Citizens Bank of Massachusetts and Citizens Bank of Pennsylvania are subsidiaries of Citizens Financial Group, Inc. Mr. Steinour was not involved in the approval process for the Gateway Loan.

 

 

 

The Company began occupying the New Facility and making lease payments in March 2003.  Based upon its knowledge of lease payments for comparable facilities in the Boston area, the Company believes that the lease payments under the lease for the New Facility, which will be approximately $3.2 million per year ($33.00 per square foot for the first 75,000 square feet and $35.00 per square foot for the remainder of the premises) for the first six years of the lease term and approximately $3.5 million per year ($36.00 per square foot for the first 75,000 square feet and $40.00 per square foot for the remainder of the premises) for the remainder of the lease term, plus specified percentages of any annual increases in real estate taxes and operating expenses, were, at the time the Company entered into the lease, as favorable to the Company as those which could have been obtained from an independent third party.

 

 

 

In view of these related party transactions, the Company concluded that, during the construction phase of the New Facility, the estimated construction in progress costs for the New Facility would be capitalized in accordance with EITF No. 97-10, “The Effect of Lessee Involvement in Asset Construction.”  A credit in the same amount was included in the caption “Accrued construction-in-progress costs.”  For purposes of the consolidated statement of cash flows, the Company characterized this treatment as a non-cash financing activity.

 

 

 

Due to completion of the construction phase and its current occupancy, the related capitalized costs are now classified as “Building” in the accompanying balance sheets.  A credit for the same amount appears as accrued building costs into both its short and long-term components.  The Company will amortize the cost of the building on a straight-line basis over a 39-year useful life.  Additionally, the obligation will be reduced over the life of the lease at an interest rate of 8.67%.  The net effect of the amortization that will be included in the operating results will approximate the rent expense resulting from the contractual payments the Company is required to make under the lease.

 

 

 

In February 1985, the Company entered into a lease, which subsequently was extended to a term of 20 years, with City Square Limited Partnership (“City Square”), pursuant to which the Company leased approximately 34,000 square feet of office and development space in a building located at Ten City Square, in Boston, Massachusetts.  The Company now leases approximately 88% of this building and the remaining 12% is leased by other tenants.  John F. Keane, Chairman of the Board of the Company, and Philip J. Harkins, a director of the Company, are limited partners of City Square.  Based upon its knowledge of lease payments for comparable facilities in the Boston area, the Company believes that the lease payments under this lease, which will be approximately $0.8 million per year ($25.00 per square foot) for the remainder of the lease term (until February 2006), plus specified percentages of any annual increases in real estate taxes and operating expenses, were, at the time the Company entered into the lease, as favorable to the Company as those which could have been obtained from an independent third party. As a result of its occupancy of the New Facility (as described above), the Company is in the process of seeking a third party to sublease the space it occupied at Ten City Square.

 

 

 

As a result of the vacancy at Ten City Square in December 2002, the Company reserved the remaining lease payments due to City Square for the remainder of the lease term, resulting in a charge of approximately $3.9 million in the Fourth Quarter of 2002 financial statements.

 

 

 

In January 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Interpretation No. 46 (FIN 46), “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities,” which requires the consolidation of a variable interest entity, as defined, by its primary beneficiary.  Primary beneficiaries are those companies that are subject to a majority of the risk of loss or entitled to receive a majority of the entity’s residual returns, or both.  In

 

11



 

 

determining whether it is the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity, an entity with a variable interest shall treat variable interests in that same entity held by its related parties as its own interests.

 

 

 

The Company is currently evaluating whether or not City Square and Gateway LLC are variable interest entities, as defined by FIN 46 and, if so, whether or not the Company is the primary beneficiary of these entities.

 

 

 

If the Company determines that City Square or Gateway LLC, or both, are variable interest entities, the Company will be required to consolidate the financial position and results of operation of the entity or entities for which it determines it is the primary beneficiary.  Such consolidation will be required beginning July 1, 2003.

 

 

 

If the Company concludes it is not required to consolidate either of these entities and that it is the primary beneficiary, the Company will continue to account for its leases with City Square and Gateway LLC in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.  With respect to the Gateway LLC lease, if the Company concludes it is not required to consolidate this entity, the Company will continue to amortize the asset and liability.

 

 

 

In March 2003, the Company’s Audit Committee approved a related party transaction involving a director of the Company.  The Company has subcontracted with Guardent, Inc. (“Guardent”) for a customer project.  Maria Cirino, a director of the Company, is an executive officer, director, and shareholder of Guardent.  The payments from the Company to Guardent are not expected to exceed approximately $25,000.  In addition, the Audit Committee permitted the Company to engage Guardent as a sub-contractor for the purposes of providing future services to the Company’s customers.  No payment by the Company to Guardent for a single engagement may exceed $75,000 and no payment by the Company to Guardent for all engagements in any calendar year may exceed $250,000.

 

 

 

In April 2003, the Company’s Audit Committee again approved a related party transaction involving a director of the Company.  The Company has sub-contracted with ArcStream, Inc (“ArcStream”) for two customer projects.  John F. Keane, Jr., a director of the Company, is Chief Executive Officer, director, and founder of ArcStream, Inc.  John F. Keane, Jr. is the son of John F. Keane, Sr., the Company’s Chairman of the Board of Directors, and the brother of Brian T. Keane, the Company’s President, Chief Executive Officer and a director.  The payments by the Company to ArcStream related to these projects are not expected to exceed $50,000.  In addition, the Audit Committee permitted the Company to engage ArcStream as a sub-contractor for the purposes of providing future services to the Company’s customers.  No payment by the Company to ArcStream for a single engagement may exceed $75,000 and no payment by the Company to ArcStream for all engagements in any calendar year may exceed $250,000.

 

 

 

The Company is a guarantor with respect to a line of credit for Innovate EC, an entity in which the Company acquired a minor equity position as a result of a previous acquisition.  The total line of credit is for $600,000.  The Company guarantees $300,000 of this obligation.  The line is subject to review by the lending institution.  The Company would be required to meet its guarantor obligation in the event the lending institution refuses to extend the credit facility and Innovate EC is unable to satisfy its obligation.

 

 

 

During the First Quarter of 2003, the Company paid $895,000 related to certain earn out considerations in connection with an acquisition made during the Third Quarter of 2002.  Future earn-outs are based on specific net revenue targets.  Payments for achieving these goals will range from $1.0 to $2.0 million in future periods.  The Company also recorded, in the Third Quarter of 2002, $3.0 million as deferred revenue related to contingent service credits and issued a $3.0 million non-interest bearing note payable as partial consideration.  The note has a one-year term with a possible one-year extension based on additional acquisition service credits.

 

 

 

In April 1998, United Services Planning Association, Inc. and Independent Research Agency for Life Insurance, Inc. filed a complaint in the District Court for Tarrant County, Texas (Civil Action No. 96-173235-98) against the Company and two of its employees alleging that the Company misrepresented its ability to complete a project contracted for by the plaintiffs and concealed from the plaintiffs material facts related to the status of the project.  The parties are currently engaged in discovery.  The case is scheduled to go to trial in October of 2003.  The plaintiffs seek monetary relief.  The Company believes

 

12



 

 

that it has a meritorious defense to the plaintiff’s complaint and intends to contest the claims vigorously.  However, the Company is presently unable to assess the likely outcome of the matter.

 

 

 

During the First Quarter of 2003, the Company received a $7.3 million award in connection with an arbitration proceeding initiated by the Company in 2000 against Signal Corporation for a breach of an agreement between Signal Corporation and the Company’s Federal Systems subsidiary.

 

 

 

The Company is involved in other litigation and various legal matters, which have arisen in the ordinary course of business.  The Company does not believe that the ultimate resolution of these matters will have a material adverse effect on its financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.  The Company believes these litigation matters are without merit and intends to defend these matters vigorously.

Item 2.   Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

 

This Report contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.  For purposes of these Acts, any statement that is not a statement of historical fact may be deemed a forward-looking statement.  For example, statements containing the words “believes,” “anticipates,” “plans,” “expects,” and similar expressions may be forward-looking statements.  Keane cautions investors not to place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements in this Report.  Keane undertakes no obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.  There are a number of factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those indicated by these forward-looking statements, including without limitation, the factors set forth below under the caption “Certain Factors That May Affect Future Results.”  These factors and the other cautionary statements made in this quarterly report should be read as being applicable to all related forward-looking statements wherever they appear in this quarterly report.  If one or more of these factors materialize, or if any underlying assumptions prove incorrect, the Company’s actual results, performance or achievements may vary materially from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements.

 

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The Company’s total revenue for the First Quarter of 2003 was $204.7 million, a 7.5% decrease from revenue of $221.3 million for the First Quarter of 2002.  This decrease in total revenue was primarily the result of clients continuing to defer discretionary technology-related expenditures as a result of economic uncertainty.

 

Revenue from the Company’s Plan services was $13.6 million in the First Quarter of 2003, a decrease of 26.5% from revenue of $18.5 million in the First Quarter of 2002.  Plan revenue is comprised primarily of business consulting services, including the Company’s Applications Rationalization Service, delivered by Keane Consulting Group, the Company’s business consulting arm.  Additional IT focused consulting services within Plan are sold and implemented out of the Company’s network of branch offices.  The decrease in Plan revenue was primarily the result of the deferral of consulting projects and a decrease in billing rates caused by general economic conditions.

 

Revenue from the Company’s Build services was $50.1 million in the First Quarter of 2003, a decrease of 10.4% from revenue of $55.9 million in the First Quarter of 2002.  The Company’s Build revenue, which consists primarily of Application Development and Integration (AD&I) business, was adversely affected during the First Quarter of 2003 by the deferral of software development projects due to the current reduction in capital spending related to technology.  However, the decline in Build revenue was offset in part by revenue generated from the less cyclical healthcare and public sector vertical markets.  Compared to the Fourth Quarter of 2002, First Quarter of 2003 Build revenue was 1.8% lower, reflecting what the Company believes to be a more stable but still challenging environment for Application Development and Integration services.

 

Revenue from the Company’s Manage services, which consist primarily of Applications Outsourcing service as well as Staff Augmentation services and other Maintenance and Migration services, was $141.0 million during the First Quarter of 2003, a decrease of 4.0% from revenue of $146.9 million in the First Quarter of 2002.  Although not immune from economic fluctuations, Applications Outsourcing revenues are more stable than revenue associated with Plan or Build due to the long-term and recurring nature of outsourcing contracts and the cost-saving benefits related to outsourcing.  Generally, under an Applications Outsourcing agreement, the Company receives a fixed monthly fee in return for meeting or exceeding a contractually agreed upon service level.  Applications Outsourcing agreements generally do not require any capital outlay from the Company.  Outsourcing revenue and expense are recognized on a monthly basis consistent with the service provided by the Company to its customers.  The Company does not employ percentage-of-completion accounting on its outsourcing agreements.

 

Within its Applications Outsourcing business, the Company carefully monitors and reports what it designates as large, long-term Application Outsourcing engagements.  These deals represent outsourcing contracts that have been signed since January of 2000, and that are valued at a minimum of $5.0 million in revenue.  The Company believes that these engagements are representative of the type of Applications Outsourcing business that forms the core element of its growth strategy.  During the First Quarter of 2003, long-term strategic Applications Outsourcing engagements generated $53.4 million in revenue, a 33.2% increase from $40.1 million in the First Quarter of 2002.  Total revenue from large long-term Applications Outsourcing customers, including cross-sales of additional Plan and

 

14



 

Build business, was $66.1 million during the First Quarter of 2003, representing 32.3% of the Company’s total revenue.

 

The Company observed signs of increasing stability of demand within its customer base during the First Quarter of 2003.  However, it has not yet seen indications of a broad-based and sustainable trend of an increase in discretionary IT spending.  As a result, the Company anticipates continuing softness in its AD&I business, which represents a majority of its Build sector, and its Plan sector, until economic conditions improve and customers once again begin funding technology projects.  However, the Company continues to see ongoing opportunities in its Applications Outsourcing business, which represents a majority of its Manage sector, as well as opportunities within the healthcare and public sector vertical markets.  Keane’s Outsourcing Services has been enhanced with the addition of two Advanced Development Centers in India in addition to its near shore facilities in Halifax, Nova Scotia.  The Company believes that outsourcing provides greater stability of revenue due to long-term contracts and recurring revenue.

 

Salaries, wages, and other direct costs for the First Quarter of 2003 were $142.4 million, or 69.6% of total revenue, compared to $157.8 million, or 71.3% of total revenue, for the First Quarter of 2002.  The decrease in direct costs was primarily attributable to ongoing efforts to bring costs in alignment with anticipated revenue.

 

Total billable employees for all operations were 5,925 as of March 31, 2003, compared to 6,175 total billable employees as of December 31, 2002 and 6,301 as of March 31, 2002.  In addition to these employees, the Company may occasionally sub-contract personnel to augment its billable staff.  The year-over-year decrease was the result of bringing personnel resources, which account for the vast majority of the Company’s direct costs, in alignment with the Company’s current and expected revenue stream.  The Company’s base of billable employees within its India operation was 500 billable employees as of March 31, 2003.  The Company acquired its India operation in March 2002 with its acquisition of SignalTree Solutions.

 

The Company’s gross margin (revenue less salaries, wages, and other direct costs as a percentage of revenue) for the First Quarter of 2003 was 30.4%, as compared to 28.7% for the First Quarter of 2002.  The increase in gross margin was largely the result of improved utilization and lower severance costs related to the Company’s base of billable personnel in North America.  The Company believes this improvement is also the result of the implementation of its long-term strategy, and that it reflects the significant operating leverage within its business model as economic conditions stabilize and begin to improve.

 

Selling, General & Administrative (“SG&A”) expenses for the First Quarter of 2003 were $48.1 million, or 23.5% of total revenue, as compared to $52.3 million, or 23.6% of total revenue, for the First Quarter of 2002.  The decrease in SG&A expenses was attributable to cost synergies obtained from the acquisition of Metro as well as the Company’s continuing focus on tightly controlling discretionary expenses.

 

Amortization of intangible assets for the First Quarter of 2003 was $4.0 million, or 2.0% of total revenue, compared to $3.3 million, or 1.5% of total revenue, for the First Quarter of 2002.  The increase in amortization of intangible assets was primarily attributable to additional intangible assets resulting from the Company’s acquisitions of SignalTree Solutions and one other acquisition complementary to the Company’s business strategy made during the Third Quarter of 2002.

 

Interest and dividend income totaled $348,000 for the First Quarter of 2003, compared to $1.0 million for the First Quarter of 2002.  The decrease in interest and dividend income was attributable to lower cash balances and marketable securities earning interest and dividends due to the Company’s use of cash to repurchase shares of it’s common stock, as well as interest rate declines.  Other income was $7.2 million for the First Quarter of 2003, as compared to other income of $470,000 in the First Quarter of 2002.  Other income during the First Quarter of 2003 increased due to a $7.3 million favorable judgment in an arbitration award proceeding related to damages for breach of an agreement between Signal Corporation and Keane Federal Systems.

 

The Company’s effective tax rate was 40.0% for the First Quarter of both 2003 and 2002.

 

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company is focused on continuing to generate strong cash flow in order to fund potential mergers and acquisitions, stock repurchases, and build long-term shareholder value.  The Company’s cash and investments at March 31, 2003, decreased to $54.4 million from $68.3 million at December 31, 2002.  This decrease was primarily

 

15



 

attributable to the Company’s stock repurchase program, pursuant to which the Company acquired shares for a purchase price totaling $23.6 million during the First Quarter of 2003.

 

Net cash provided by operating activities totaled $12.0 million for the First Quarter of 2003 compared to a $2.6 net use of cash by operating activities for the First Quarter of 2002.  During the First Quarter of 2003, the Company received a $7.3 million award in connection with an arbitration proceeding initiated by the Company in 2000 against Signal Corporation for a breach of an agreement between Signal Corporation and the Company’s Federal Systems subsidiary.  Also during the First Quarter of 2003, the Company paid approximately $3.5 million associated with previously reported restructuring charges.

 

Net cash used in investing activities was $12.4 million and $27.0 million for the First Quarter of 2003 and 2002, respectively.  Net cash used in investing activities in each of these periods was primarily the result of investments, acquisitions, and capital expenditures.  During the First Quarter of 2003, the Company purchased investments of $10.0 million in marketable securities and spent $2.9 million on property and equipment along with $903,000 for payments related to prior years acquisitions.  In connection with an acquisition made during the Third Quarter of 2002, the Company may incur additional payments related to certain earn-out considerations that are based on achieving specific net revenue targets.  Payments for achieving these goals will range from $1.0 to $2.0 million in future periods.  The Company also recorded, in the Third Quarter of 2002, $3.0 million as deferred revenue related to contingent service credits and issued a $3.0 million non-interest bearing note payable as partial consideration.  The note has a one-year term with a possible one-year extension based on additional acquisition service credits.

 

Net cash used for financing activities totaled $21.9 million for the First Quarter of 2003 compared to $3.3 million in cash provided by financing activities for the First Quarter of 2002.  In the First Quarter of 2003, cash used in financing activities is the result of the Company’s previously authorized stock repurchase program.  On October 25, 2002, the Board of Directors authorized the Company to repurchase 5 million shares of its common stock over the next 12 months.  This repurchase authorization was in addition to two prior share repurchase authorizations in September 2001 and July 2002.  The repurchases may be made on the open market or in negotiated transactions, and the timing and amount of shares repurchased will be determined by the Company’s management based on its evaluation of market and economic conditions and other factors.  During the First Quarter of 2003, the Company purchased 3,052,100 shares of its common stock under this authorization for a total investment of $23.6 million at an average price per share of $7.72.  The remaining authorized amount is 624,300 shares from the authorization given on October 25, 2002.  Between May 1999 and March 31, 2003, the Company has invested $186.6 million to repurchase 15,007,900 shares of its common stock under seven separate authorizations.

 

In February 2003, the Company entered into a new $ 50.0 million revolving credit agreement with two banks.  The credit facility replaces a previous $10.0 million demand line of credit, which expired in July 2002.  The terms of the credit facility require the Company to maintain a maximum total funded debt and other financial ratios.  Based on the Company’s current operating plan, the Company believes that its cash and cash equivalents on hand, marketable securities, cash flows from operations, and its new line of credit will be sufficient to meet its current capital requirements for at least the next twelve months.

IMPACT OF INFLATION AND CHANGING PRICES

Inflationary increases in costs have not been material in recent years and, to the extent permitted by competitive pressures, are passed on to clients through increased billing rates.  Rates charged by the Company are based on the cost of labor and market conditions within the industry.

 

CERTAIN FACTORS THAT MAY AFFECT FUTURE RESULTS

The following important factors, among others, could cause actual results to differ materially from those indicated by forward-looking statements made in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and presented elsewhere by management from time to time.

 

Keane’s quarterly operating results have varied, and are likely to continue to vary significantly.  This may result in volatility in the market price of Keane’s shares.  Keane has experienced and expects to continue to experience fluctuations in its quarterly results.  Keane’s gross margins vary based on a variety of factors including employee utilization rates and the number and type of services performed by Keane during a particular period.  A variety of factors influence Keane’s revenue in a particular quarter, including:

 

•    general economic conditions which may influence investment decisions or cause downsizing;

•    the number and requirements of client engagements;

•    employee utilization rates;

•    changes in the rates Keane can charge clients for services;

•    acquisitions; and

•    other factors, many of which are beyond Keane’s control.

 

A significant portion of Keane’s expenses do not vary relative to revenue.  As a result, if revenue in a particular quarter does not meet expectations, Keane’s operating results could be materially adversely affected, which in turn may have a material adverse impact on the market price of Keane common stock.  In addition, many of Keane’s engagements are terminable without client penalty.  An unanticipated termination of a major project could result in an increase in underutilized employees and a decrease in revenue and profits.

 

Keane has pursued, and intends to continue to pursue, strategic acquisitions.  Failure to successfully integrate acquired businesses or assets may adversely affect Keane’s financial performance.  In recent years, Keane has grown significantly through acquisitions.  From January 1, 1999 through March 31, 2003, Keane has completed eleven acquisitions.  The aggregate merger and consideration costs of these acquisitions totaled approximately $359.8 million.  Keane’s future growth may be based in part on selected acquisitions.  At any given time, Keane may be in various stages of considering acquisition opportunities.  Keane can provide no assurances that it will be able to find and identify desirable acquisition targets or that it will be successful in entering into a definitive agreement with any one target.  In addition, even if Keane reaches a definitive agreement with a target, there is no assurance that Keane will complete any future acquisition.

 

Keane typically anticipates that each acquisition will bring benefits, such as an increase in revenue.  Prior to completing an acquisition, however, it is difficult to determine if Keane can realize these benefits.  Accordingly, there is a risk that an acquired company may not achieve an increase in revenue or other benefits for Keane.  In addition, an acquisition may result in unexpected costs, expenses, and liabilities.  Any of these events could have a material adverse effect on Keane’s business, financial condition, and results of operations.

 

The process of integrating acquired companies into Keane’s existing business may also result in unforeseen difficulties.  Unforeseen operating difficulties may absorb significant management attention, which Keane might otherwise devote to its existing business.  In addition, the process may require significant financial resources that Keane might otherwise allocate to other activities, including the ongoing development or expansion of Keane’s existing operations.

 

Finally, future acquisitions could result in Keane having to incur additional debt and/or contingent liabilities.  Any of these possibilities could have a material adverse effect on Keane’s business, financial condition, and result of operations.

 

Keane faces significant competition for its services, and its failure to remain competitive could limit its ability to maintain existing clients or attract new clients.  The market for Keane’s services is highly competitive.  The technology for custom software services can change rapidly.  The market is fragmented, and no company holds a dominant position.  Consequently, Keane’s competition for client assignments and experienced personnel varies

 

17



 

significantly from city to city and by the type of service provided.  Some of Keane’s competitors are larger and have greater technical, financial, and marketing resources and greater name recognition in the markets they serve than does Keane.  In addition, clients may elect to increase their internal information systems resources to satisfy their custom software development and integration needs.

 

In the healthcare software systems market, Keane competes with some companies that are larger in the healthcare market and have greater financial resources than Keane.  Keane believes that significant competitive factors in the healthcare software systems market include size and demonstrated ability to provide service to targeted healthcare markets.

 

Keane may not be able to compete successfully against current or future competitors.  In addition, competitive pressures faced by Keane may materially adversely affect its business, financial condition, and results of operations.

 

Keane conducts business in the United Kingdom, Canada, and India, which exposes it to a number of difficulties inherent in international activities.  As a result of its acquisition of SignalTree Solutions in March 2002, Keane has two software development facilities in India.  Moreover, Keane has added approximately 500 technical professionals to its professional services organization in the region.  India is currently experiencing conflicts with Pakistan over the disputed territory of Kashmir as well as clashes between different religious groups within the country.  These conflicts, in addition to other unpredictable developments in the political, economic, and social conditions in India, could eliminate or reduce the availability of these development and professional services.  If access to these services were to be unexpectedly eliminated or significantly reduced, Keane’s ability to meet development objectives important to its new strategy would be hindered, and its business could be harmed.

 

If Keane fails to manage its geographically dispersed organization, it may fail to meet or exceed its financial objectives and its revenues may decline.  Keane performs development activities in the United States, Canada, and in India, and has offices throughout the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, and India.  This geographic dispersion requires substantial management resources that locally based competitors do not need to devote to their operations.

 

Keane’s operations in the United Kingdom, Canada, and India are subject to currency exchange rate fluctuations, foreign exchange restrictions, changes in taxation, and other difficulties in managing operations overseas.  Keane may not be successful in its international operations.

 

Keane may be unable to re-deploy its professionals effectively if engagements are terminated unexpectedly, which would adversely affect its results of operations.  Keane’s clients can cancel or reduce the scope of their engagements with Keane on short notice.  If they do so, Keane may be unable to reassign its professionals to new engagements without delay.  The cancellation or reduction in scope of an engagement could, therefore, reduce the utilization rate of Keane’s professionals, which would have a negative impact on Keane’s business, financial condition, and results of operations.

 

As a result of these and other factors, the Company’s past financial performance should not be relied on as an indication of future performance.  Keane believes that period-to-period comparisons of its financial results are not necessarily meaningful and it expects that results of operations may fluctuate from period to period in the future.

 

Keane’s growth could be limited if it is unable to attract personnel in the Information Technology and business consulting industries.  Keane believes that its future success will depend in large part on its ability to continue to attract and retain highly skilled technical and management personnel.  The competition for such personnel is intense.  Keane may not succeed in attracting and retaining the personnel necessary to develop its business.  If Keane does not, its business, financial condition, and result of operations could be materially adversely affected.

Item 3.    Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risk

 

The Company does not engage in trading market risk sensitive instruments or purchasing hedging instruments or “other than trading” instruments that are likely to expose the Company to market risk, whether interest rate, foreign currency exchange, and commodity price or equity price risk.  The Company has not purchased options or entered into swaps or forward or futures contracts.  The Company’s primary market risk exposure is that of interest rate risk on its investments, which would affect the carrying value of those investments.  Since January 1, 2001, the United States Federal Reserve Board has significantly decreased certain benchmark interest rates, which has led to a general decline in market interest rates.  The decline in market interest rates has resulted in a significant decline in the Company’s interest income.  Additionally, the Company transacts business in the United Kingdom, Canada, and India and as such has exposure associated with movement in foreign currency exchange rates.

 

Item 4.    Controls and Procedures

 

a)             Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures.  Based on their evaluation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-14(c) and 15d-14(c) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) as of a date within 90 days of the filing date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s (SEC) rules and forms and are operating in an effective manner.

 

b)            Changes in Internal Controls.  There were no significant changes in the Company’s internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect these controls subsequent to the date of their most recent evaluation.

Part II             Other Information

 

Item 1.

Legal Proceedings

 

In April 1998, United Services Planning Association, Inc. and Independent Research Agency for Life Insurance, Inc. filed a complaint in the District Court for Tarrant County, Texas (Civil Action No. 96-173235-98) against the Company and two of its employees alleging that the Company misrepresented its ability to complete a project contracted for by the plaintiffs and concealed from the plaintiffs material facts related to the status of the project.  The parties are currently engaged in discovery.  The case is scheduled to go to trial in October 2003.  The plaintiffs seek monetary relief.  The Company believes that it has a meritorious defense to the plaintiff’s complaint and intends to contest the claims vigorously.  However, the Company is presently unable to assess the likely outcome of the matter.

 

 

 

During the First Quarter of 2003, the Company received a $7.3 million award in connection with an arbitration proceeding initiated by the Company in 2000 against Signal Corporation for a breach of an agreement between Signal Corporation and the Company’s Federal Systems subsidiary.

 

 

 

The Company is involved in other litigation and various legal matters, which have arisen in the ordinary course of business.  The Company does not believe that the ultimate resolution of these matters will have a material adverse effect on its financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.  The Company believes these litigation matters are without merit and intends to defend these matters vigorously.

 

 

Item 5.

Other Information

 

On September 26, 2002, the Company filed a Tender Offer Statement in connection with its offer to exchange currently held stock options with new options.  The downturn in the stock market and the resulting underwater position of the Company’s stock options had created a potential motivation and retention issue with key employees and executives of the Company.  Consistent with the Company’s philosophy of using stock options to motivate and retain management and employees, on August 20, 2002, the Company’s Board of Directors approved the opportunity for employees to request that the Company exchange outstanding options to purchase shares of the Company’s Common Stock, which were granted on or after January 1, 2000 and have an exercise price of $12.00 or greater per share, for new options to purchase shares of Common Stock on substantially the following terms (“the Offer”).  Pursuant the terms of the Offer:

 

 

 

(i)                                     all eligible and outstanding options issued under all of the Company’s stock option plans could be exchanged for new options at an exchange rate of four for every five surrendered;

 

 

 

(ii)                                  the grant date of the new options would be the first business day that is at least six months and one day after the date of the expiration of the Offer; and

 

 

 

(iii)                               the exercise price of each new option would be the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the new grant date, which is at least six months and one day after the expiration of the Offer.

 

 

 

The Offer expired on October 7, 2002 (the “expiration date”).  Options for 1,888,394 shares of the Company’s common stock with a weighted average exercise price of $20.45 were eligible for the Offer.  Of this amount, 1,458,298 options were surrendered for exchange, with 324,902 options being retained, with the balance of the 105,194 being canceled because of terminations.

 

 

 

For the 1,458,298 options surrendered for exchange at a rate of 4 new options for every 5 surrendered, the Company granted new stock options for an aggregate of 1,079,959 shares at an exercise price of $8.28 per share on April 8, 2003.  The balance of the surrendered options were canceled because of terminations.
