(1) On July 1, 2003, Hewitt Holdings distributed the shares of Hewitt Associates, Inc. Class B common stock it previously held, to its owners, with the exception of certain owners resident outside the United States who continue to hold their shares through Hewitt Holdings. The distribution reduced Hewitt Holdings’ ownership interest in Hewitt Associates, Inc. to approximately 2%; accordingly the Company no longer consolidates the results of Hewitt Associates, Inc., but accounts for the remaining investment in Hewitt Associates, Inc. using the equity method of accounting. As a result, the Company’s consolidated statement of operations for three months ended December 31, 2003, does not include the consolidated results from operations for Hewitt Associates, Inc. However, for the three months ended December 31, 2002, the Company’s results include the consolidated results from operations for Hewitt Associates, Inc.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

DECEMBER 31, 2003 AND 2002

(Unaudited)

(Dollars in thousands)

 

1. Description of Business

 

Hewitt Holdings LLC and Subsidiaries (“Hewitt Holdings” or the “Company”) consists of the “Property Entities” which consist of Hewitt Properties I LLC, Hewitt Properties II LLC, Hewitt Properties III LLC, Hewitt Properties IV LLC, Hewitt Properties V LLC, Hewitt Properties VI LLC, Hewitt Properties VII LLC and The Bayview Trust. Prior to July 1, 2003, Hewitt Associates, Inc. and its subsidiaries or its predecessor, Hewitt Associates LLC and Affiliates (“Hewitt Associates”) was the principal operating subsidiary of the Company. Hewitt Associates provides human resources outsourcing and consulting services. The term “owner” refers to the individuals who are current or retired owners of limited liability company interests of Hewitt Holdings.

 

Hewitt Holdings owns significant real estate assets directly and through its Property Entities. Substantially all of the activities of the Property Entities involve assets that are leased to Hewitt Associates on terms which at inception, were intended to be comparable to those which would have been obtained in an arm’s length transaction. The investments in these properties were funded through capital contributions of Hewitt Holdings’ owners and third-party debt. The debt is a non-recourse obligation of Hewitt Holdings’ Property Entities and is not an obligation of nor guaranteed by Hewitt Associates. The properties the Company owns are located in Illinois, Florida, and Texas.

 

In fiscal 2002, Hewitt Associates completed its transition to a corporate structure and initial public offering. As part of that transition, Hewitt Holdings, received 70,819,520 shares of Hewitt Associates’ Class B common stock. On July 1, 2003, Hewitt Holdings distributed the shares of Class B common stock of Hewitt Associates to its owners, with the exception of certain owners resident outside the United States who continue to hold their shares through Hewitt Holdings. The shares continue to be subject to the same restrictions with respect to voting, transfer and book to market phase-in as they were when the shares were held by Hewitt Holdings. The distribution reduced Hewitt Holdings’ majority interest in Hewitt Associates of approximately 72% at June 30, 2003, to a minority interest of approximately 2% at July 1, 2003 and December 31, 2003.

 

On August 6, 2003, Hewitt Associates completed a registered secondary offering of Hewitt Associates’ Class A common stock. In conjunction with Hewitt Associates’ secondary offering, the Company distributed 350,431 shares of Hewitt Associates’ Class B common stock to certain owners resident outside the United States who had held their shares through Hewitt Holdings.

 

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission for quarterly reports on Form 10-Q. In the opinion of management, these financial statements include all adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows as of December 31, 2003, and for all periods presented. All adjustments made have been of a normal and recurring nature. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted. The Company believes that the disclosures included are adequate and provide a fair presentation of interim period results. Interim financial statements are not necessarily indicative of the financial position or operating results for an entire year. It is suggested that these interim financial statements be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and the notes thereto, together with management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations, included in the Company’s Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2003 as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain previously reported amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.

The consolidated financial statements are prepared on the accrual basis of accounting. The significant accounting policies are summarized below:

 

Principles of Consolidation

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements reflect the operations of the Company and its majority owned subsidiaries after elimination of intercompany transactions and profits.

 

Investments in less than 50%-owned affiliated companies over which the Company has the ability to exercise significant influence are accounted for using the equity method of accounting. The Company applies the equity method of accounting and does not consolidate its 51% interest in Overlook Associates, an Illinois partnership, as Hewitt Holdings does not exercise control over this partnership. Overlook Associates owns and operates commercial office buildings and develops and sells vacant land in Lincolnshire, Illinois.

 

On July 1, 2003, the Company distributed 67,783,937 shares of Class B common stock of Hewitt Associates then held by the Company to its owners (the “Distribution”). The Distribution reduced Hewitt Holdings’ majority interest in Hewitt Associates to approximately 2% so that the Company no longer consolidates the results of Hewitt Associates, but accounts for the remaining investment in Hewitt Associates using the equity method of accounting. Prior to the Distribution, all of the assets, liabilities and earnings of Hewitt Associates and its subsidiaries were consolidated in the Company’s financial statements, and the non-affiliated investors’ Class A, Class B and Class C common stock interests in Hewitt Associates were recorded as a “Minority Interest” on the consolidated balance sheet and statement of operations for financial reporting purposes. The Company’s consolidated balance sheets at December 31, 2003 and September 30, 2003 do not reflect the consolidated assets, liabilities and capital of Hewitt Associates. However, the Company’s consolidated statement of operations and statement of cash flows for the three months ended December 31, 2002, include the consolidated results of operations of Hewitt Associates.

 

Prior to July 1, 2003, significant eliminating entries resulting from the consolidation of Hewitt Associates included the elimination of intercompany capital leases and the reversal of intercompany rental income and expense and the recognition of depreciation and interest expense related to the real estate under capital leases. As such, on a consolidated basis, the Company’s financial statements prior to July 1, 2003, reflect the Company’s owned real estate and related third-party debt and no intercompany lease obligations and related activities.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

HR services revenues include fees generated from outsourcing contracts and from consulting services provided to Hewitt Associates’ clients. Under outsourcing contracts, which typically have a three- to five-year term, clients generally pay an implementation fee and an ongoing service fee. In accordance with the Securities and Exchange Commission’s Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101, Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements, Hewitt Associates recognizes revenues for non-refundable, upfront implementation fees evenly over the period between the initiation of ongoing services through the end of the contract term (on a straight-line basis). Indirect costs of implementation are expensed as incurred. However, incremental direct costs of implementation are deferred and recognized as expense over the same period that deferred implementation fees are recognized. If a client terminates an outsourcing contract prematurely, both the deferred implementation revenues and related costs are recognized in the period in which the termination occurs.

 

HR services revenues related to ongoing service fees and to services provided outside the scope of outsourcing contracts are recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, services have been rendered, the fee is determinable and collectibility of the fee is reasonably assured. Ongoing service fees are typically billed and recognized on a monthly basis, typically based on the number of plan participants or services and often with a minimum monthly fee. Services provided outside the scope of outsourcing contracts are billed and recognized on a time-and-material or fixed fee basis.

 

Losses on outsourcing or consulting arrangements are recognized during the period in which a loss becomes probable and the amount of the loss is reasonably estimable. Contract or project losses are determined to be the amount by which the estimated direct and a portion of indirect costs exceed the estimated total revenues that will be

generated by the arrangement. Estimates are continuously monitored during the term of the arrangement and any changes to estimates are record
