Given the existing economic environment, many clients have deferred investments in

As a result, we have concentrated our short-term marketing efforts on helping clients tocreate an integrated supply or value chain, the implementation of an enterprise Customer Relationship Management (CRM) solutionbetter integrate andits integration with an Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system,enhance existing IT applications, andthe designon projects that rapidly improve efficiency andimplementation of an integrated online state vehicle registration and motor carrier services system.

The Company anticipatesglobal delivery. We anticipate that these competencies, together withitsour long-term relationships with Global 2000 companies, particularly those clients for which we provide Application Outsourcing services, will enableitus to benefit from an economic recovery and an increase in spending on information technology.Application Development and Management (ADM) Outsourcing (Manage services) The need to manage critical business applications continues to expand rapidly as companies add systems to their application portfolios. Given the need to focus on core competencies and a growing dependence on information technology, maximizing return on investment from existing application portfolios has become a critical objective of many organizations. As a result, Global 2000 companies are turning to best-of-breed outsourcing as an effective solution for building and supporting their IT systems better, faster, and more cost-effectively. According to IDC, the market for application outsourcing is expected to grow at a compounded annual growth rate of 29% through 2005. Keane's ADM Outsourcing service helps clients manage existing business systems more efficiently and more reliably, improving the performance of these applications while better controlling costs. Under this service offering, Keane assumes responsibility for the management of a client's business applications with goals of: instituting operational efficiencies that provide cost savings over current operations; implementing improvements that reduce time-to-market and enhance flexibility in responding to changing business needs; freeing personnel resources and management attention for other strategic priorities; and achieving higher user satisfaction. Some outsourcing engagements include the hiring of a client's IT personnel as part of the agreement. In these instances, Keane trains client staff in its proprietary methodologies and processes to work on the client outsourcing engagement. Keane seeks to obtain competitive advantages in the ADM Outsourcing market by generating measurable client benefit, using world class methodologies, referencing its Global 2000 client base, and emphasizing its continuous process improvement and seamless client service delivery model. On March 15, 2002, Keane acquired SignalTree Solutions, a U.S.-based corporation with two development facilities in India. The addition of SignalTree's delivery capability expanded Keane's flexible delivery model to include two offshore software development centers in India. Since the benefit that Keane seeks to provide its customers is based on management and process improvements, the Company's ADM Outsourcing business spans multiple vertical industries and includes a broad range of technologies. The effectiveness of Keane's ADM Outsourcing capability is demonstrated by the fact that 37 of its outsourcing engagements have been independently assessed at Level 3 or 4 on the Software Engineering Institute's (SEI) Capability Maturity Model (CMM). In addition, SignalTree's technology centers in Hyderabad and Delhi are independently evaluated at Level 5 on the SEI CMM and comply with ISO 9001 standards. The SEI CMM has five levels of process maturity, and many IT organizations typically operate at Level 1, the lowest level of maturity. Since 1997, Keane has used the SEI CMM as a standard for objectively measuring its success in improving its client's application management environment. The SEI CMM has become the industry's standard method for evaluating the effectiveness of an IT environment and the process maturity of outsourcing vendors. 3ADM outsourcing provides Keane with large client engagements that usually span three-to-five years in duration. In addition, outsourcing projects typically supply Keane with contractually-obligated recurring revenue, and with an incumbent position from which to cross-sell other solutions. The Company has observed historically that consistently providing measurable business value within an existing client account strongly positions it to win additional outsourcing engagements and development and integration projects.Healthcare
Solutions Keane'sSolutions. Our Healthcare Solutions Division(HSD)("HSD") develops and markets a complete line ofpatient management,open-architecture financial management, patient care, clinical operations, enterprise information, long-term care, and practice management systems for healthcareorganizations, as well as relatedorganizations. In addition, HSD provides healthcare-related IT consulting, outsourcing, and IT integration services.Keane helpsBecause the healthcare market is less cyclical in nature than most of the commercial IT market, our HSD business complements our commercial AD&I revenue and typically acts as a stabilizing influence on Build revenue during periods of slower economic growth.HSD's products help healthcare organizations overcome the challenge of providing higher quality patient care while administering more efficient operations through the use of information technology. HSD's core healthcare solutions include EZ-Access, Keane InSight, and VistaKeane. EZ-Access is a browser-based family of healthcare information systems designed to improve access to patient data, reduce the occurrence of medical errors, and protect client investment in information technology. EZ-Access includes our widely installed Patcom Plus, a patient management system that is considered a market leader by industry analysts. Keane InSight is a comprehensive healthcare information system that provides immediate access to patient information using secure, browser-based technology. VistaKeane is a fully integrated financial and clinical solution for long-term and post-acute care providers. HSD's customers include integrated delivery networks, hospitals, long-term care facilities, and physician group practices.

In addition,
Keane'sour broad range of services help healthcare clients address ongoing Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act(HIPAA)("HIPAA") requirements. HIPAA is Federal legislation designed to improve efficiency in the national healthcare system and protect the privacy of health information. It is expected to have far-reaching implications on the healthcare industry's IT infrastructure and business operations.HSD revenues are currently reported under Keane's ADI (Build)Our HIPAA-related services include Enterprise Assessment and Planning, Compliance Implementation, and Ongoing Compliance Management.Manage services

Under our Application Outsourcing service offering, we assume responsibility for managing a client's business applications with the goal of instituting operational efficiencies that enhance flexibility, freeing up client personnel resources, and achieving higher user satisfaction. We seek tohelp companies optimize business performanceobtain competitive advantages in the application outsourcing market by targeting our Global 2000 client base and generating measurable operational and financial benefits to our clients. We achieve these client benefits through theinnovativeuse of our world-class methodologies, continuous process improvement, and our global delivery model.Forty-seven of our Application Outsourcing engagements have been independently assessed at Level 3 or 4 on the Software Engineering Institute's ("SEI") Capability Maturity Model ("CMM").

addition, two of our ADCs in India, located in Hyderabad and Delhi, are independently evaluated at Level 5 on the SEI CMM and comply with ISO 9001: 2000 standards. Our ADC in Halifax, Nova Scotia, has also been independently evaluated at Level 5 on the SEI CMM. The SEI CMM has five levels of process maturity, and many IT organizations typically operate at Level 1, the lowest level of maturity. Since 1997, we have used the SEI CMM as a standard for objectively measuring our success in improving our clients' application management environments. The SEI CMM has become the industry's standard method for evaluating the effectiveness of an IT environment and the process maturity of outsourcing vendors.
Our global delivery model offers customers the flexibility and economic advantage of allocating work among a variety of delivery options, including onsite at a client's facility, nearshore in Halifax, Nova Scotia, and offshore at one of our three locations in India. This integrated, highly flexible mix of cost-effective onsite, nearshore, and offshore delivery is now a component of most new outsourcing engagements. The distribution of work across multiple locations is typically based on a client's cost, technology, and risk management requirements. Our project management approach ensures common methodologies and disciplines across locations, and provides a single point of accountability to the client.
Application Outsourcing provides us with large, long-term contracts. These client engagements usually span three to five years. Application Outsourcing projects typically supply us with contractually obligated recurring revenue and with an ability to cross-sell other solutions. We believe that our ability to consistently provide measurable business value within an existing client account fosters profitable, long-term client relationships by strongly positioning us to win additional outsourcing engagements, as well as development and integration projects.
Business Process Outsourcing. We acquired a majority interest in Worldzen, a provider of BPO services, on October 17, 2003. Worldzen specializes in providing BPO services to clients with complex processes in the financial services, insurance, and healthcare industries, and to clients with back office processes in several industries. Worldzen's BPO services are designed to reduce the cost and increase the efficiency of our clients' business transactions, enabling companies to focus on their more profitable activities, and avoid the overhead and management distraction of
information technology (IT). In addition, Keane aligns its internal focus, measurement processes,non-core back-office processes. Worldzen provides these low-cost, high-value outsourcing services from operations in both the U.S. andcompensation systems to promote the consistent generation of long-term shareholder value.

The Company endeavors to create a positive and supportive work environment for its employees to foster creativity, teamwork, and individual excellence. Distinctive capabilitieseffectiveness through the consistent delivery of high-value outsourcing services. Specifically, we believe thatenable Keane to deliver value to its customers, and to reach its financial milestones, include a relentless focus on processes improvement, mature competencies in project and program management, consistent use of methodologies, a strong quality assurance function, and a seamless client service delivery model. This model currently includes providing services to customers on-site at a client's facility, off-site at a separate location, near-shore at Keane's Advanced Development Center in Canada, and offshore atone of theCompany's two Software Development Centersmost significant business trends over the next five years will be corporations leveraging Application Outsourcing, BPO, and offshore delivery to achieve meaningful cost reductions and business improvement.

We believe these strategic priorities will positionitselfus to take advantage offuture increasesexpected market growth driven by a recovery in ITspending.spending, and the convergence of Application Outsourcing, BPO, and offshore delivery.Achieve sustainable revenue and earnings growth.
We believe that we can achieve long-term revenue expansion by growing our Application Outsourcing and BPO businesses, as well as by leveraging our strong position in less cyclical vertical industries such as healthcare and the public sector. We expect to increase our operating margins over
6
the short-term by improving billing rates and utilization as the IT services sector recovers, and by aggressively controlling selling, general, and administrative ("SG&A") expenses. Longer term, we will increasingly leverage lower-cost offshore resources in providing outsourcing services, while continuously adjusting our expenses to ensure cost-effective delivery. We expect our ability to effectively manage our working capital, most notably Days Sales Outstanding ("DSO"), and capital spending will enable us to generate strong operating cash flow. We plan to use excess cash to complete attractive acquisitions and to continue to repurchase shares of our common stock from time-to-time.
Strengthen our position as an industry leader in innovative, full lifecycle Application Outsourcing initiatives.
We believe industry analysts and clients recognize us as one of the leading application outsourcing vendors in North America. Our ability to provide high-quality service to our clients has been significantly enhanced by our global delivery model, with capability onsite, at nearshore facilities in Halifax, Nova Scotia, and at three facilities in India. We expect to intensify our efforts during 2004 to position Keane as a full lifecycle, global provider of outsourcing, and a means for clients to gain the economic advantage of offshore delivery while reducing their associated risks. We also seek opportunities to proactively target our existing customer base of Global 2000 customers, and our deep expertise in specific industry verticals, to cross-sell our Application Outsourcing services.
Continue to rapidly build offshore/nearshore scale and capabilities.
Global sourcing has become an important component of our clients' overall sourcing strategies. Use of offshore delivery enables clients to gain access to a large pool of cost-effective technical personnel, while enhancing productivity via a 24 hours a day, seven days a week development approach. As a result, we believe offshore delivery is critical for success in today's IT services market. During 2003, we significantly enhanced our offshore sourcing capabilities, doubling the

This business model includes five major elements: recurring revenue, critical mass, operational excellence, synergy across business unitsinfrastructure in accordance with market trends andrepeatable solutions.conditions.7
The
combination of these elements helps Keane to mitigate short-term fluctuations in theIT services market is highly competitive andgenerate significant long-term per share value. 1. Recurring Revenue - Keane believesdriven by continual changes in client business requirements and advances in technology. Our competition varies by themost important ingredient for long-term successtype of service provided and by geographic markets.We compete with traditional players in the IT services industry,
is recurring revenue. The Company seeksincluding large integrators (such as Accenture ("ACN"), Electronic Data Systems ("EDS"), Computer Sciences Corporation ("CSC"), IBM Global Services ("IBM"), and Perot Systems ("PER")); offshore solution providers, including Wipro ("WIT") and Infosys ("INFY"); IT solutions providers (such as Sapient Corporation ("SAPE"), American Management Systems ("AMSY"), BearingPoint ("BP"), and Ciber ("CBR")); and management consulting firms (such as McKinsey and Booz Allen). Some of these competitors are larger and have greater financial resources than we do.We believe that the basis for competition in the IT services industry includes the ability to
buildcreate an integrated solution that best meets the needs of an individual customer, provide competitive cost pricing models, develop strong client relationships, generate recurring revenue,through a combination of services provided over multi-year contractsandclose customer relationships. The Company attemptsoffer flexible client-service delivery options. We believe that we compete favorably with respect toincrease contractually obligated recurring revenuethese factors. However, we may not be able to continue to compete successfully withits ADM Outsourcing service, through which Keane 4typically manages and enhances applications under three-to-five year contracts. These contracts provide Keaneour existing competitors or to compete successfully withsignificant opportunities for expansion and add-on business, while the Company's broad range of Plan, Build, and Manage services enables cross-selling opportunities. Keane's local branch presence allows the Company to gain a high degree of customer intimacy and an understanding of customers' evolving needs, providing a ready market forany newservices. Keane earns customer loyalty by providing concrete and measurable business value through the consistent, high quality delivery of its services. 2. Critical Mass - Critical mass is essential for gaining market and financial leverage. Increasing critical mass drives down SG&A cost as a percentage of revenue, allows depth and breadth of capabilities, and builds market presence and mind share to support sales and recruiting efforts. Keane's strategy to achieve critical mass is to concentrate on business lines and geographic markets where the Company has or can establish leadership. These business lines are Business Consulting, Application Development & Integration, and ADM Outsourcing. Keane plans to focus on geographic markets within North America and Western Europe and strives to achieve significant market share in those markets through organic growth, supplemented by acquisitions. 3. Operational Excellence - Already a recognized leader in providing cost effective and predictable delivery of services to clients, Keane is committed to operational excellence and continuous process improvement in all of its functions. Being efficient enables Keane to offer its customers high value services at competitive rates without compromising the Company's performance margins. Keane achieves operational excellence through critical mass, lower travel costs due to its local branch presence, process improvements, high utilization of staff, and its flexible and integrated client service delivery model. Keane's dedication to continuous process improvement is demonstrated through investments in measurement programs and the creation of the Keane Center for Excellence focused on quality and efficiency enhancements. Operational efficiency enables Keane to maintain profitability regardless of macro-economic conditions. 4. Synergy Across Business Units - As a services company dedicated to turning customer technology challenges into business opportunities, it is imperative that Keane share resources and organizational experience.

The Company's competition varies by the type of service provided and by geographic markets. Competitors typically include traditional players in the IT services industry, including large integrators (such as Accenture, Electronic Data Systems (EDS), Computer Sciences Corporation (CSC), and IBM Global Services); IT solutions providers (including Sapient Corporation, American Management Systems, Logica, and KPMG); and management consulting firms (e.g., KPMG Consulting, McKinsey and Booz Allen). Some of these competitors are larger and have greater financial resources than the Company. In addition, clients may seek to increase their internal IT resources to satisfy their software development and management requirements. The Company believes that the basis for competition in the IT services industry includes the ability to create an integrated solution that best meets the needs of an individual customer, compete cost effectively, develop strong client relationships, generate recurring revenue, offer flexible client service delivery options and use of disciplined methodologies. The Company believes that it competes favorably with respect to those factors. There can be no 7assurance that the Company will continue to compete successfully with its existing competitors or will be able to compete successfully with any new competitors.ITEM 2. PROPERTIES

These options vest in three equal annual installments and have an exercise price equal to the closing price of our common stock on the NYSE on the date of grant. The compensation of our non-employee directors is determined on an approximate 52-week period (the "Annual Directors Term") that runs from annual meeting date to annual meeting date rather than on a calendar year. A director may elect to receive his or her annual fee or meeting attendance fees for an Annual Directors Term in the form of shares of common stock in lieu of cash payments. If a director elects to receive shares of common stock in lieu of cash as payment for the annual fee or meeting attendance fees, the number of shares to be received by the director will be determined by dividing the dollar value of the annual fee or the meeting attendance fees owed by the closing price of our common stock as reported on the NYSE on the last day of the Annual Directors Term.
Directors generally make their elections as to the form of compensation for his or her annual fee or meeting attendance fees in July of each year and such election is valid for the Annual Directors Term beginning in the calendar year in which the election is made.

OVERVIEW
We help clients improve business and IT effectiveness through outsourcing services. We plan, build, and manage application software through our Business Consulting, AD&I, and Application Outsourcing services. We develop long-term relationships with customers by providing a broad range of service offerings delivered on a local basis. We also optimize clients' internal processes through BPO services through Worldzen, our majority owned subsidiary. Our IT services are delivered through an integrated network of local branch offices in North America, the UK, and through ADCs in the U.S.,
Icom Systems LimitedCanada, andFourth Tier, Inc., which were accountedIndia. This global delivery model enables us to provide our services to customers onsite, at our nearshore facilities in Canada, and through our offshore development centers in India. Our centralized Strategic Practices and our Quality Assurance Groups support branch offices. The Practices focus on developing repeatable approaches to common customer needs and challenges, and help to gather and institutionalize our best practices. We believe that our blend of onsite, nearshore, and offshore capabilities enables us to further improve the efficiency and economic advantage of the services that we provide our customers.In order for
as poolings-of-interests.us to remain successful in the near term, we must continue to maintain and grow our client base, provide high-quality service and satisfaction to our existing clients, and take advantage of cross-selling opportunities. In the current economic environment, we must provide our clients with service offerings that are appropriately priced, satisfy their needs, and provide them with measurable business benefit. We believe that maximizing the generation of cash from our operations is fundamental to building long-term per share value. We believe that selling and delivering Application Outsourcing and cross-selling our other services is critical to our long-term success. Attracting, retaining, motivating, and developing talented sales, management, and technical professionals is another essential component to our success. In addition, our ability to leverage SG&A expenses over a broader base of revenue is crucial to increasing net income and cash provided from operations.17
APPLICATION OF CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
TheAND ESTIMATESOur discussion and analysis of
Keane'sour financial condition and results of operations are based on consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in theUnited States.U.S. The preparation of these financial statements requiresKeaneus to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date ofitsour financial statements.ActualThe actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.Critical accounting policies are defined as those that are reflective of significant judgments and uncertainties, and potentially result in materially different results under different assumptions and conditions. Application of these policies is particularly important to the portrayal of
Keane'sour financial condition and results of operations.The Company believesWe believe that the accounting policies described below meet these characteristics.Keane'sOur significant accounting policies are more fully described in the notes to the accompanying consolidated financial statements.Revenue
Recognition: Keane recognizesRecognitionWe recognize revenue as services are performed or products are delivered in accordance with contractual agreements and generally accepted accounting
principals.principles. For general consulting engagements, revenue is recognized on a time and materials basis as services are delivered. For the majority of our outsourcing engagements,the Company 15provideswe provide a specific level of service each month for whichit billswe bill a standard monthly fee. Revenue for these engagements is recognized in monthly installments over the billable portion of the contract. These installments may be adjusted to reflect changes in staffing requirements and service levels consistent with terms of the contract. Costs of transitioning the employees and ensuring we meet required service level agreements may be capitalized over defined periods of time.For
fixed pricefixed-price engagements, revenue is recognized on apercentage of completionproportional performance basis over the life of the contract.Percentage of completionWe use estimated labor-to-complete to measure the proportional performance. Proportional performance recognition relies on accurate estimates of the cost, scope, and duration of each engagement. Ifthe Company doeswe do not accurately estimate the resources required or the scope of the work to be performed, then futureconsulting marginsrevenues may be negatively affected or losses on existing contracts may need to be recognized. All future anticipated losses are recognized in the period they are identified.Revenue associated with application software products is recognized as the software products are
delivered orinstalledon a milestone basis.and as implementation services are delivered. Software maintenance fees on installed products are recognized on a pro-rated basis over the term of theserviceagreement.In all consulting engagements, outsourcing engagements, and software application sales, the risk of issues associated with satisfactory service delivery exists. Although
management feelswe believe these risks are adequately addressed bythe Company'sour adherence to proven project management methodologies, proprietary frameworks, and internal project audits, the potential exists for future revenue charges relating tounresolvedservice delivery issues. Historically, we have not experienced major service delivery issues.Allowance for Bad
Debt:DebtsEach accounting period,

Billed and unbilled receivables that are specifically identified as being at risk are provided for with a charge to revenue in the period the risk is identified. Considerable judgment is used in assessing the ultimate realization of these receivables, including reviewing the financial stability of the client, evaluating the successful mitigation of service delivery disputes, and gauging current market conditions.

This evaluation relies onwe must make assumptions regarding estimated future cash flows and other factors to determine the fair value of these assets. This process is subjective and requires judgment at many points throughout therespective assets.analysis. If these estimates or their related assumptions change in theCompanyfuture, we may be required torecognizerecord impairmentcharges. Deferred Taxes: Keane accountscharges for these assets not previously recorded. As of December 31, 2003, our goodwill totaled $292.9 million.We review our identifiable intangible assets for impairment in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 144 ("SFAS 144"), "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets." In determining whether an intangible asset is impaired, we must make assumptions regarding estimated future cash flows from the asset, intended use of the asset, and other related factors. If the estimates or the related assumptions used to determine the value of the intangible assets change, we may be required to record impairment charges for these assets. As of December 31, 2003, our intangible assets totaled $71.0 million.
Income Taxes
We account for income taxes in accordance with SFAS No. 109 ("SFAS 109"), "Accounting for Income Taxes," which requires that deferred tax assets and liabilities be recognized using enacted tax rates for the effect of temporary differences between the book and tax basis of recorded assets and liabilities. SFAS 109 also requires that deferred tax assets be reduced by a valuation allowance if it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax asset will not be realized.
Based on prior taxable income and estimates of future taxable income, the Company has determined that it is more likely than not that its net deferred tax assets will be fully realized in the future. If actual taxable income varies from these estimates, the Company may be required to recordWe have recorded a valuation allowanceagainst its deferredfor the taxassets resultingbenefits of certain subsidiary net operating losses and the minimum pension liability. Our policy is to establish reserves for taxes that may become payable in future years as a result of an examination by the tax authorities. In accordance with SFAS No. 5 ("SFAS 5"), "Accounting for Contingencies," we establish the reserves based upon our assessment of exposure associated with permanent tax differences and interest expense applicable to both permanent and temporary difference adjustments. The tax reserves are analyzed periodically and adjusted as events occur to warrant the adjustment to the reserve.Stock-based Compensation
We grant stock options for a fixed number of shares to employees with an exercise price equal to the closing price of the shares at the date of grant. We also grant restricted stock for a fixed number of shares to employees for nominal consideration. We account for our stock-based compensation in accordance with Accounting Principles Board ("APB") Opinion No. 25 ("APB 25"), "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees." In accordance with APB 25, we recognize compensation expense based on the difference between the market value at grant date and the grant price and record the compensation expense ratably over the restriction period. We do not recognize compensation expense on our stock option grants as the stock options are granted at the market price at the date of grant.
We adopted the disclosure provisions of SFAS No. 148 ("SFAS 148"), "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation—Transition and Disclosure," an amendment to SFAS No. 123 ("SFAS 123"), "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation." Had we adopted the accounting provisions of SFAS 148, we would have recorded additional compensation expense and reduced net income
tax expense which will be recordedby approximately $4.6 million, $11.3 million, and $10.3 million inthe Company's consolidated statement of operations. Restructuring: Keane has2003, 2002, and 2001, respectively.19
Restructuring
We have recorded restructuring charges and reserves associated with restructuring plans approved by management
overin the lastthreefive years. As of January 1, 2003, we adopted SFAS No. 146 ("SFAS 146"), "Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities," which requires us to recognize costs associated with exit or disposal activities when they are incurred rather than at the date of a commitment to exit or disposal plan exists. These reserves include estimates pertaining to employee separation costs and real estate lease obligations. The reserve associated with lease obligations could be materially affected by factors such as the ability to obtain subleases, the creditworthiness of our sub-lessees, market value of properties, and the ability to negotiate early termination agreements with lessors. Whilethe Company believeswe believe thatitsour current estimates regarding lease obligations are adequate, future events couldnecessitate significantrequire adjustments to these estimates.16ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION ANDBased on the assumptions included in our analysis as of December 31, 2003, to the extent that we are unable to maintain all of our current, contractual subleases, we could incur an additional restructuring charge up to approximately $2.7 million. In addition, if we are able to negotiate early terminations of our operating leases or to obtain a sublessee, we would record a reduction to the restructuring liability and a corresponding expense reduction. In 2003, we recorded an expense reduction of $1.0 million associated with early lease terminations and unanticipated subleases.CONSOLIDATED RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
This Annual Report on Form 10-K contains forward-looking statements. ForIn this
purpose, any statements contained hereinsection, we discuss our results of operations. We measure our revenue performance by comparing the growth in Plan, Build, and Manage service revenues. We evaluate our improvement in profitability by comparing gross margins, and SG&A as a percentage of revenues. Other key metrics that we use to manage and evaluate the performance of our business include: bookings or new sales to customers, the number of billable personnel, and utilization rates. We calculate utilization rates by dividing the total billable hours per consultant by the total hours available from the consultant.2003 Compared to 2002

Revenues in 2003 compared to 2002 decreased as a result of clients' decisions to continue to defer discretionary technology-related expenditures during a period of economic uncertainty. However, throughout the course of the year, we experienced a more stable demand for our services and believe that we are
not statementsbeginning to see some indications ofhistorical factincreases in discretionary IT spending.Plan. Our Plan service revenues are comprised primarily of business consulting services, which include Business Consulting and Program Management. During 2003, we provided the majority of our Business Consulting services through KCG. During the Fourth Quarter of 2003, we entered the growing BPO market through our acquisition of a majority interest in Worldzen. Worldzen specializes in complex processes within the financial services, insurance, and healthcare industries, and provides back office processes for multiple industries. As part of our investment in Worldzen, we contributed to
20
Worldzen a majority of the assets and certain customer contracts associated with KCG. Our Plan services are delivered via our global delivery model, from operations in the U.S., UK, Canada, and India. The decreases in Plan service revenues were primarily the result of the deferral of consulting projects and a decrease in billing rates in response to weak general economic conditions.
Build. Build service revenues, which consist primarily of the AD&I business, were adversely affected during 2003 by customers' decisions to defer software development projects due to the reduction in capital spending related to technology. The products and services we sold within the less cyclical healthcare industry helped to stabilize Build service revenues. Revenues for 2003 from HSD increased $2.6 million, or 4.6% compared to 2002.
Manage. Manage services consist primarily of Application Outsourcing services, together with Staff Augmentation, other Maintenance and Migration services, and BPO services, delivered through Worldzen. The decrease in Manage service revenues was due to lower revenues associated with staff augmentation and other services, offset in part by an increase in Application Outsourcing revenues.
Generally, under Application Outsourcing agreements, we receive a fixed monthly fee in return for meeting or exceeding a contractually agreed upon service level. However, because our customers typically have the ability to reduce services under their contracts, our monthly fees may be
deemed forward-looking statements. Without limitingreduced from theforegoing,stated contract amounts. For example, in accordance with thewords "believes," "anticipates," "plans," "expects"contract terms, PacifiCare has the ability to reduce the baseline resources as defined in the contract, which could potentially reduce the contract value, originally valued at approximately $500.0 million through 2012, by approximately $100.0 million. Application Outsourcing agreements generally do not require any capital outlay from us. Application Outsourcing revenue andsimilar expressionsexpenses areintendedrecognized on a monthly basis consistent with the service provided by us toidentify forward-looking statements. There areour customers. Within our Application Outsourcing business, we carefully monitor and manage designated large, long-term strategic Application Outsourcing engagements. These deals represent Application Outsourcing contracts that have been signed since January of 2000, with anumberminimum contract value ofimportant factors that could cause the Company's actual results to differ materially from those indicated by such forward-looking statements. These factors include, without limitation, those set below under the caption "Certain Factors That May Affect Future Results." RESULTS OF OPERATIONS, 2001 vs. 2000: The Company's revenue for 2001 was $774.0 million, a 7% decrease from revenue of $833.6$5.0 million in2000, excluding revenue associated with Keane's divested help deskrevenue. We believe that these engagements are representative of the type of Application Outsourcing businessor $779.2that forms the core element of our growth strategy. During 2003, these long-term strategic Application Outsourcing engagements generated $230.4 million in2001 compared to $876.9revenue, a 21.8% increase from $189.2 millionin 2000, including $43.3 million of revenue from this divested business. Keane's revenue during 2001 was negatively impacted by the economic slowdown and the related reduction in technology spending. However, this was partially offset by a $16.8 million increasein revenue from these engagements in 2002.The following table summarizes certain line items from our consolidated statements of income (dollars in thousands):
Years Ended December 31, Increase (Decrease) 2003 2002 $ % Revenues $ 804,976 $ 873,203 $ (68,227 ) (7.8 )

)Gross margin $ 250,601 $ 243,156 $ 7,445 3.1 Gross margin % 31.1 % 27.8 % Salaries, wages, and other direct costs
The decrease in salaries, wages, and other direct costs in 2003, as compared to 2002, was primarily attributable to ongoing efforts to bring our costs in alignment with anticipated revenues through workforce reductions and increased offshore staffing, primarily at our India facilities. Salaries, wages, and other direct costs were $554.4 million, or 68.9%, of total revenues, for 2003 and $630.0 million, or 72.2%, of total revenues in 2002. Total billable employees for all operations were 6,182 at the
Company's public sector businessend of 2003, compared to 6,175 total billable employees at the end of 2002. In addition to these employees, we21
occasionally use subcontractors to augment our billable staff. The base of billable employees within our India operation was 876 at the end of 2003, an increase of 463 employees, or 112.1%, compared to 2002. We added our India operation in March 2002 with our acquisition of SignalTree Solutions. We closely monitor utilization rates, billable employees, and other direct costs in an effort to avoid adverse impacts to our gross margin.
Gross margin
We believe gross margin(revenues less salaries, wages, and other direct costs) provides an important measure of our profitability. Gross margin as a
$31.0 millionpercentage of revenue for 2003 was 31.1%, compared to 27.8% in 2002. The increase in gross margin as a percentage of revenuefrom its Application Developmentwas largely the result of a more stable environment for IT services andManagement (ADM) Outsourcing service. ADM Outsourcing revenue represented 51%improved utilization related to our base of billable personnel in North America. Also contributing to the improvement in the gross margin percentage was our lower labor cost due to increased use of offshore resources at our India facilities.Selling, general and administrative expenses
SG&A expenses include salaries for our corporate and branch administrative employees, sales and marketing expenses, as well as the cost of our administrative facilities, including related depreciation expense. SG&A expenses for 2003 decreased $5.9 million, or 3.0%, compared to 2002. SG&A expenses for 2003 were $192.9 million, or 24.0%, of total revenue,
duringcompared to $198.8 million, or 22.8%, of total revenue for 2002. The decrease in SG&A expenses in 2003 was the result of our Fourth Quarter of 2002 workforce reduction, our continued focus on tightly controlling discretionary expenses, and the cost synergies of fully integrating the acquisitions that we made in 2001 and 2002.Amortization of intangible assets
Amortization of intangible assets for 2003 was $15.8 million, a decrease of $0.5 million, or
$393.9 million, an increase3.3%, compared to 2002. The decrease in amortization of8.5% from $363.0 million during 2000. For 2001, revenueintangible assets in 2003 was primarily due to fully amortizing intangibles associated with prior year acquisitions offset in part by the full year amortization of additional intangible assets resulting from theCompany's Plan services was $75.3acquisitions of SignalTree Solutions in March 2002 and one other acquisition complementary to our business strategy made during the Third Quarter of 2002.Restructuring charges, net
During 2003, we reevaluated our estimates recorded for the restructuring charge taken in 2002 and as a result recorded an expense reduction of $1.5 million
down from $107.1for workforce reductions, and $1.0 millionin 2000. Plan revenue is primarily comprised of business innovation consulting delivered via Keane Consulting Group (KCG), the Company's business consulting arm, and IT consulting services, which are sold and implemented out of Keane's network of branch offices. Plan revenue for 2001 was negatively impacted by a general deferral of capital expenditures and consulting projects. For 2001, revenue from the Company's Build Services was $265.9 million, down from $327.1 million in 2000, prior to all one-time charges or $322.2 million in 2000 including all one-time charges. During the fourth quarter of 2000, Keane incurred a charge of $13.5 million, of which $8.6 million wasrelatedto the consolidation and/or closing of certain non-profitable branch offices, employee severance costs, facility leases, and for other miscellaneous purposes, with the balance related to increased reserves against accounts receivable. During the fourth quarter of 2001, Keane booked $10.4 million in one-time charges relatingto the costs ofterminations,consolidating and/or closing certain non-profitable offices. In addition, during 2003 we recorded a restructuring charge of $2.2 million. Of this charge, $1.3 million was for an additional workforce reduction of 75 employees and $0.9 million was for the costs associated with a branch office closing. The net impact of these actions resulted in a net expense reduction to the restructuring charge of $326,000 in our consolidated statement of income.During 2002, we recorded a restructuring charge of $17.6 million. This charge consisted of $3.2 million related to a workforce reduction of approximately 229 employees, $12.1 million for branch office closings and certain other expenditures, $1.8 million of assets which became impaired as a result of these restructuring actions, and $0.5 million for a net change in the prior year's estimate for workforce reductions, branch office closures, and
asset write-downs associatedother expenditures.Interest and dividend income
Interest and dividend income for 2003 was $3.0 million compared to $2.2 million in 2002. The increase in interest and dividend income was the result of higher average cash balances and marketable securities offset in part by overall lower interest rates compared to the same period in 2002. The higher average cash balances and marketable securities was due to the investment of the net proceeds from the issuance of our 2% Convertible Subordinated Debentures ("Debentures") issue in June 2003 and our strong cash flow. Our cash balances were reduced by cash used to repurchase shares of our common stock in 2003.
22
Interest expense for 2003 was $4.2 million compared to $255,000 in 2002. The interest expense increase is primarily related to the issuance of our Debentures and our new corporate facility. The accounting for the facility as explained in Note 15 "RELATED PARTIES, COMMITMENTS, AND CONTINGENCIES" in the notes to the accompanying consolidated financial statements, requires us to impute interest expense on the accrued building costs.
Other income, net
Other income was $7.1 million for 2003 compared to $1.3 million in 2002. Other income in 2003 included a $7.3 million payment received for a favorable judgment in an arbitration award proceeding related to damages for breach of an agreement between Signal Corporation and our Federal Systems subsidiary.
Minority interest
During the Fourth Quarter of 2003, we completed our acquisition of a controlling interest in Worldzen, a privately held BPO firm. Our initial investment resulted in an equity position of approximately 62% of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Worldzen with
gaining synergies fromthe right to increase our ownership position over time. As a result of this transaction, we began to consolidate Worldzen's financial results with ours in the Fourth Quarter of 2003. The amount in minority interest represents the loss attributable to minority shareholders for the period that we consolidated Worldzen.Income taxes
We generated income before taxes of $48.7 million for 2003 compared to $13.6 million in 2002. The provision for income taxes represents the amounts owed for federal, state, and foreign taxes. The effective income tax rate is the provision for income taxes as a percentage of income before the provision for income taxes. Our effective tax rate was 40.0% for 2003 and 2002, and reflects an adjustment of prior year's estimated tax liability in 2003 and 2002. A reconciliation of the statutory federal income tax rate to the effective rate for each period is included in Note 14 "INCOME TAXES" in the notes to the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
Net income
Net income increased to $29.2 million in 2003 compared to $8.2 million in 2002. The improvement in net income is the result of the absence of a restructuring charge in 2003, improved operating income margins, and the favorable judgment in an arbitration award in 2003.

The decrease in Plan service revenues in 2002 compared to 2001 was primarily the result of the deferral of consulting projects and a decrease in billing rates caused by general economic conditions.

ThisUK, as well as by reduced billing rates due to the current reduction in capital spending related to technology. However, the decline in our Build services revenue was offset in part byongoingrevenue generated from the less cyclical public sector and healthcare-related vertical markets, which contributed growing and more stable revenue streams within the Buildprojectservices sector.Manage. The improvement in Manage services revenue was the result of increasing revenue from
existing Global 2000 customers and revenue of $128.4 million attributable to Public Sector business from federal and state governments. Engagements within the Public Sector represented approximately 16.5% of Keane's total revenue in 2001. Revenue from the Company's Manage Services, which consist primarily of Keane's ADMour Application Outsourcing service,as well as Application MaintenanceandMigration services, grew to $432.7 million during 2001, an increase of 8% from $399.2 million in 2000, excluding revenue from divested businesses and one-time charges. Manage revenue was $437.9 million in 2001 and $437.6 million in 2000, includingthedivested help desk business and one time charges. Keane's 2001 revenue from Manage services included approximately $16.0 million as a result of its acquisitionacquisitions of MetroInformation Services, on November 30, 2001.

Although not immune to economic fluctuations, Application Outsourcing revenues are more stable than those associated with Plan or Build service revenues due to theCompany's divested Help Desk business was approximately $43.3 million during 2000long-term and$5.2 million during 2001.

Generally, under an Application Outsourcing agreement, we receive a fixed monthly fee in return for$15.7 millionmeeting or exceeding a contractually agreed upon service level.

The increase in
Keane's Manage revenue during 2001salaries, wages, and other direct costs wasdriven by continuing sales growth inprimarily attributable to theCompany's ADM Outsourcing business, as Global 2000 customers seek to improve productivityMetro andefficiencies associated with the management and enhancement of their application portfolios. This business has not been as negatively impacted by the economy as Keane's Build business. Based on the increase in ADM Outsourcing bookings and growth of the sales pipeline during 2001, the Company anticipates that this 17business will continue to increase in 2002. One significant example of such business is Keane's new, ten-year $500 million ADM Outsourcing contract with PacifiCare Health Systems signed in January of 2002. However, the Company has observed no indication of a healthier economic climate or growth in IT spending over the first two months of 2002. As a result, Keane anticipates continued softness in its Application Development and Integration business, which represents a majority of its Build sector, and within its Plan sector, until economic conditions improve and customers begin funding capital projects once again. In response to this challenging business climate, the Company expanded its customer base and critical mass with its acquisition of Metro Information Services. Metro provides Keane with hundreds of new customers to whom the Company can cross-sell its services. Of Metro's 300 largest customers that accounted for 90% of its revenue for the twelve months ended June 30, 2001, 236 were new customers for Keane. In addition, the Company expects to improve operational leverage by combining corporate functions and consolidating overlapping branch offices. Of Metro's 33 branch offices, 26 are within geographic markets currently served by Keane. The Company has identified a minimum of $15 million in redundant SG&A expenses that can be eliminated and expects to realize at least $11 million of these savings during 2002. On March 15, 2002, Keane acquiredSignalTree SolutionsHolding, Inc., a privately-held, U.S.-based corporation with two software development facilities in India and additional operations in the United States, by the merger of a wholly-owned subsidiary of Keane into SignalTree. Under the terms of the merger agreement, Keane paid $64.5 million in cash for SignalTree, which purchase price is subject to adjustment. The enterprise value of the transaction is approximately 1.2 times SignalTree's 2001 revenue, which was approximately $50 million. Keane expects the addition of SignalTree to enhance its value proposition to customers by providing access to world-class software development processes as well as the economic advantage of a large pool of cost-effective technical professionals.acquisitions. Salaries, wages, and other direct costs were $630.0 million, or 72.2%, of total revenues, for2001 were2002 and $547.9 million, or 70.3%, of total revenues in 2001. Total billable employees for all operations were 6,175 in 2002, compared to 6,566 in 2001. The lower billable employees resulted from a need to bring personnel resources, which account for the vast majority of our direct costs, in alignment with anticipated revenue. Our billable employees within our India operation were 413 billable employees as of December 31, 2002. We did not have billable employees in India during 2001.Gross margin
Gross margin as a percentage of revenue for 2002 was 27.8%, compared to 29.7% in 2001. The decrease in gross margins reflects continuing softness in the demand for IT services resulting in lower billing rates and utilization of billable personnel.

The decline in SG&A expenditures during 2001 is a result of the sale of the Company's Help Desk operations and aggressive control of discretionary spending to bring cost in alignment with revenue. The Company will seek to continue to control aggressively its discretionary expenditures until economic conditions improve and spending on IT projects increases. Amortization of goodwill and other intangible assets for 2001 was$14.5 million, or 1.9% of total revenue,compared to $12.4 million, or 1.4% of total revenue, in 2000.for 2001. The increase in amortizationfor 2001of intangible assets was primarily attributable to additional intangible assets resulting from our acquisitions of Metro and SignalTree Solutions offset by the impact of the adoption of SFAS No. 142 ("SFAS 142"), "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets," under which goodwill is no longer amortized.Restructuring charges, net
During 2002, we recorded a restructuring charge of $17.6 million. This charge consisted of $3.2 million related to a workforce reduction of approximately 229 employees, $12.1 million for branch office closings and certain other expenditures, $1.8 million of assets which became impaired as a result of these restructuring actions, and $0.5 million for a net change in prior year's estimate for workforce reductions and branch office closures and other expenditures.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS, 2000 VS. 1999: The Company's revenue for 2000 was $872.0 million, a 16% decrease from $1.04 billion in 1999.2001. The decrease inrevenue was primarily anet income is the result ofthe rapid declinehigher restructuring charge inthe Company's Year 2000 (Y2K) compliance revenue. Y2K-related revenue for 2000 was $5.4 million, down 97.4% from $206.1 million in 1999. Excluding Y2K-related business, revenue for 2000 was $871.5 million, an increase of 4.4% as compared to similar core non-Y2K revenue in 1999. The Company believes this increase was indicative of the Company's strong positioning in its three core business lines, Business Innovation Consulting (Plan), Application Development2002, andIntegration (Build), and Application Development and Management Outsourcing (Manage). Keane's Plan, Build, and Manage revenue for 2000, excluding Y2K-related revenue, was $107.1 million, $327.1 million, and $437.3 million, respectively. Salaries, wages, and other direct costs for 2000 were $621.2 million, or 71.2% of revenue, compared to $702.8 million, or 67.5% of revenue for 1999. This increase as a percentage of revenue was due primarily tolowerutilization of the Company's billable headcount, caused by the decline of Y2K revenue. In order to bring costs in closer alignment with revenue, in the fourth quarter of 2000, the Company incurred a charge of $13.5 million, of which $8.6 million, or 1.0% of revenue, is related to the consolidation and/or closing of certain non-profitable branch offices, employee severance costs, facility leases, and for other miscellaneous purposes. During the second quarter of 2000, the Company identified ten under-performing branch offices, which had lost critical mass as a result of the Y2K transition and were no longer profitable. Throughout the year, Keane took action to address these under-performing business units through the consolidation of operations, internal growth, the upgrading of management and sales personnel and office closures. Selling, General, & Administrative ("SG&A") expense for 2000 were $201.9 million or 23.1% of revenue, compared to $199.0 million or 19.1% of revenue in 1999. This increase was primarily attributable to the decrease in the Company's revenue and investments the Company continued to make in the development and marketing of its core business lines. Amortization of goodwill and other intangible assets for 2000 was $12.4 million, or 1.4% of revenue, compared to $9.2 million, or 0.9% of revenue, in 1999. The increase was primarily attributable to acquisitions made during the current and prior year. Keane completed two small acquisitions during 2000 at a cost of $32.5 million, net of cash acquired. On July 19, Keane acquired Denver Management Group, a management consulting firm focused on supply chain management and integrated distribution. Denver Management has been incorporated into Keane Consulting Group. On September 7, Keane acquired Care Computer Systems, Inc., a provider of software for the long-term care industry, which expanded the healthcare solutions marketed by Keane's Healthcare Solutions Division. Interest and other expense for each of 2000 and 1999 were $1.5 million. Interestinterest and dividendincome for 2000 totaled $7.7 million, compared to $7.8 million in 1999. The Company's effective tax rate for each of 2000 and 1999 was 40.5%. Net income and earnings per share for 2000 were $20.4 million and $.29 per diluted share including all charges, and $28.4 million and $.41 per diluted share excluding all charges. This compares to net income of $73.1 million and $1.01 per diluted share including all charges, and net income of $81.2 and $1.12 per diluted share excluding all charges for 1999. On February 5, 2001, Keane announced the sale of its help desk business in a cash transaction valued at $15.7 million. Revenue from its divested help desk business and from business units closed as part of its restructuring represented approximately $52 million in unprofitable revenue for the year 2000. 19Net cash provided from operations was at $96 million during 2000, before the expenditure of $81 million for the repurchase of Keane shares and $32.5 million in acquisitions, net of cash acquired.income.RECENT ACCOUNTING
PRONOUNCEMENTS:PRONOUNCEMENTSIn
June 1998,January 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") 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 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. FIN 46 is effective prospectively for all variable interests obtained subsequent to December 31, 2002. For variable interests existing prior to December 31, 2002, consolidation will be required beginning July 1, 2003. In December 2003, the FASB agreed to a broad-based deferral of the effective date of FIN 46 for public companies until the end of periods ending after March 15, 2004, with the exception of interests in special purpose entities, which are required in financial statements of public companies for periods ending after December 15, 2003. We have evaluated the applicability of FIN 46 to our relationship with each of City Square Limited Partnership ("City Square") and Gateway LLC and determined that these entities are not required to be consolidated within our consolidated financial statements. We have determined that Gateway LLC is not a variable interest entity as the equity investment is sufficient to absorb the expected losses and the holders of the equity investment do not lack any of the characteristics of a controlling interest. We have concluded that as we no longer occupy the space at Ten City Square and no longer derive any benefit from leasing the space, we would not be determined to be the related party most closely associated with City Square. As a result, we will continue to account for our leases with City Square and Gateway LLC consistent with our historical practices in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. We believe that we do not have an interest in any variable interest entities that would require consolidation.In April 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 149 ("SFAS 149"), "Amendment of Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities." SFAS 149 amends and clarifies financial accounting and reporting for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts (collectively referred to as derivatives) and for hedging activities under SFAS No. 133,(FAS 133)("SFAS 133"), "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities."which required adoption in periods beginningThis statement is effective for contracts entered into or modified after June15, 1999.

RESOURCES: The Company's cash and investments at December 31, 2001 increased to $ 129.2 million from $ 115.2 million at December 31, 2000. This increase was primarily attributable to the continuing efforts by the Company to decrease its Days Sales Outstanding ("DSO"). The decreaseRESOURCESConsolidated Financial Condition (Dollars in
accounts receivable was offset by payments for acquired debt related to the Metro acquisition of $65.9 million and purchases of property, plant and equipment of $7.6 million. In addition to these payments, the Company spent $ 4.0 million on the purchase of 326,200 shares of its stock at an average price of $12.40 per share.

We have historically financed our operations
in the United States. The Company paid approximately $64.5 million in cash for the acquisition. As a result, this transaction will reduce the Company's cash position at the end of the first quarter of 2002. On September 19, 2001, the Company announced that its Board of Directors had authorized the Company to repurchase up to 1,542,800 shares of its common stock over the next 12 months. Since May of 1999, the Company has invested $108.9 million to repurchase 5,457,200 million shares of its common stock under three separate authorizations. The timing and amount of additional share repurchases will be determined by the Company's management based on its evaluation of market and economic conditions and other factors. A total of 326,200 shares of Common Stock were repurchased during the first quarter of 2001. There were no shares repurchased during the second, third or fourth quarter of 2001. The Company maintains and has 20available a $10 million unsecured demand line of credit with a major Boston bank for operations and acquisition opportunities. Based on the Company's current operating plan, the Company believes that its cash and cash equivalents on hand, cash flows from operations, and its current available line of credit will be sufficient to meet its current capital requirements for at least the next twelve months. The Company financed its operations exclusivelythroughitsour ability to generate cash from operations. We use the net cash generated from our operations to fund capital expenditures, mergers and acquisitions, and stock repurchases. Ifthe Companywe were to experience a decrease in revenue as a result of a decrease in demand foritsour services or a decrease initsour ability to collect receivables,the Companywe would be required tocurtailreduce discretionary spending related to SG&A expenses andadjusts itsadjust our workforce in an effort to maintain profitability. Through the net cash provided by operations during 2003, combined with the proceeds of our convertible debt offering completed in June 2003, we have increased our cash and cash equivalents, and our marketable securities position to $206.1 million at December 31, 2003. We intend to use our cash and marketable securities for general corporate purposes, which may include additional repurchases of our common stock under existing or future share repurchase programs and the funding of future acquisitions and other corporate transactions.Cash flows from operating activities
Net cash provided by operating activities in 2003 increased $15.0 million compared to 2002 due to higher net income and improvements in working capital. We drove the improvements in working capital through our continuing efforts to increase collections of accounts receivable. The
Companyimprovement in collections is evident by a reduction in DSO, which was 53 days, 59 days, and 70 days at December 31, 2003, 2002, and 2001, respectively. We calculate DSO using the trailing three months total revenue divided by the number of days in the quarter to equal daily revenue. The average accounts receivable balance for the three-month period is then divided by daily revenue. Cash provided by operating activities also improved due to a $7.3 million award that we received in the First Quarter of 2003. This award was the result of an arbitration proceeding that we initiated in 2000 for a breach of an agreement between Signal Corporation and our Federal Systems subsidiary. Partially offsetting this increase is approximately $11.9 million that we paid associated with prior and current restructuring charges and $3.5 million that we paid in connection with settling a legal claim in the Third Quarter on 2003.Net cash provided by operating activities in 2002 decreased $20.7 million compared to 2001 due primarily to the lower operating results. During 2002, we paid $16.5 million associated with prior and current restructuring charges. Partially offsetting the operating results and restructuring payments were the improvements in working capital, particularly in the collections of our accounts receivables.
We believe that cash generated from our operating activities will be sufficient to fund our working capital requirements through the next 12 months and beyond. However, in order to protect against the current economic conditions persisting in 2004 and beyond, we have taken and will continue to take, as we deem necessary, steps to reduce our expenses and align our cost structure to our revenue. We anticipate that current cash on hand, cash generated from operations and cash generated from the exercise of employee stock options and our employee stock purchase plan will be adequate to fund our planned capital and financing expenditures for the next 12 months and beyond.
Cash flows used in investing activities
Net cash used in investing activities in each of 2003, 2002, and 2001 was primarily for investments, acquisitions, and capital expenditures.
During 2003, we purchased $144.2 million and sold $18.1 million in marketable securities, generating a net use of cash of $126.1 million. In addition, we invested $15.3 million on property and equipment, and capitalized software costs in connection with the implementation of our PeopleSoft Enterprise Resource Planning applications. We also invested $7.5 million, net of cash acquired, for the controlling interest in Worldzen and paid $0.9 million related to prior year's acquisitions.
During 2002, we purchased $27.9 million and sold $69.8 million in marketable securities, generating net cash of $41.9 million, which we used to partially fund acquisitions. In 2002, we paid
28
$63.2 million, net of cash acquired, to acquire SignalTree Solutions, and another smaller business that is complementary to our business strategy. In connection with the smaller complementary business acquisition, we may have to pay additional earn-out consideration that is based on achieving specific net revenue targets. Payments in the next 12 months for achieving these goals may range from $1.0 million to $2.0 million. During 2002 we 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. As of December 31, 2003, the deferred revenue and non-interest bearing note each had a balance of $2.0 million, a reduction of $1.0 million resulting from the delivery of related service credits. The note has a one-year term with a one-year extension expiring on September 25, 2004. During 2002, we also invested $13.7 million on property and equipment, and capitalized software costs in connection with the implementation of our PeopleSoft Enterprise Resource Planning applications.
During 2001, we purchased $104.6 million and sold $102.3 million in marketable securities. In addition, we invested $7.6 million on property and equipment. We also completed the merger of Metro by exchanging our common stock for all of the common stock of Metro. In connection with this merger, we paid $7.1 million in transaction costs. Partially offsetting these cash requirements was $16.1 million in proceeds that we received in connection with the sale of our Help Desk business.
On February 27, 2004, we acquired Nims Associates, Inc. ("Nims"), an information technology and consulting services company with offices in the Midwest and ADCs in Indianapolis and Dallas. In exchange for all of Nims' outstanding stock, we paid $18.1 million in cash to shareholders of Nims, with the potential to pay up to an additional $15.0 million in earn-out consideration over the next three years, contingent upon the achievement of certain future financial targets.
Cash flows provided by (used in) financing activities
In June 2003, we received $150.0 million in proceeds from our issuance of convertible subordinated debentures. From these proceeds, we simultaneously invested approximately $37.3 million to repurchase approximately 3.0 million shares of our common stock from authorizations approved by our Board of Directors in October of 2002 and May of 2003. Net proceeds after the repurchase of shares and approximately $4.4 million debt issuance costs were approximately $108.3 million. See Note 9 "CONVERTIBLE SUBORDINATED DEBENTURES" in the notes to the accompanying consolidated financial statements for additional information on the Debentures.
Additionally during 2003, we were authorized to repurchase shares of our common stock on the open market or in negotiated transactions, with the timing and amount of shares purchased determined by our management based on its evaluation of market and economic conditions and other factors. From January 1, 2001 through December 31, 2003, our Board of Directors authorized us to repurchase up to 15.6 million shares of our common stock. The following is a summary of our repurchase activity for 2003, 2002, and 2001 (dollars in thousands):
2003 2002 2001 Shares Amount Shares Amount Shares Amount Prior year authorizations at beginning of year 3,676,400 1,542,800 869,000 Authorizations 6,000,000 8,632,200 1,000,000 Repurchases (6,495,200 ) $ 66,696 (6,498,600 ) $ 54,092 (326,200 ) $ 4,045 Shares remaining as of December 31, 3,181,200 3,676,400 1,542,800 Between May 1999 and December 31, 2003, we have invested approximately $229.7 million to repurchase approximately 18.5 million shares of our common stock under nine separate authorizations. These share repurchases more than offset the shares issued under our various stock ownership
29
programs. Under these stock ownership programs, we issued 603,235 shares, 510,312 shares, and 755,348 shares and received proceeds of $4.4 million, $6.4 million, and $6.3 million for the years ended December 31, 2003, 2002, and 2001, respectively.
In February 2003, we entered into a new $50.0 million unsecured revolving credit facility (the "credit facility") 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 us to maintain a maximum total funded debt and other financial ratios. The credit facility also includes covenants that, subject to certain specific exceptions and limitations, among other things, restrict our ability to incur additional debt, make certain acquisitions or dispositions of assets, create liens, and pay dividends. On June 11, 2003, we and two of our banks amended certain provisions of the credit facility relating to financial covenants. These covenants, which include total indebtedness and leverage ratios, are no
significantmore restrictive than those initially contained in the credit facility. On October 17, 2003 and February 5, 2004, we and two of our banks further amended certain provisions of the credit facility to expand our ability to make certain acquisitions. The annual commitment fee for maintaining the credit facility is 30 basis points on the unused portion of the credit facility, up to a maximum of $150,000. As of December 31, 2003, we had no debtbut doesoutstanding under the credit facility. We may draw upon the credit facility up to $50.0 million less any outstanding letters of credit that havecommitmentsbeen issued against the credit facility. Any amounts drawn upon the credit facility constitute senior indebtedness for purposes of the Debentures. Borrowings bear interest at one of the bank's base rate or the Euro currency reserve rate. Based on our current operating plan, we believe that our cash and cash equivalents on hand, marketable securities, cash flows from operations, and our new line of credit will be sufficient to meet our current capital requirements for at least the next 12 months.Net cash used in financing activities in 2002 was primarily the result of our share repurchase program. During 2002, we repurchased 6,498,600 shares of our common stock for a total investment of approximately $54.1 million at an average per share price of $8.32, which was partially offset by $6.3 million in cash proceeds from our various stock ownership programs.
Net cash used in financing activities in 2001 was primarily due to the payment of debt acquired in connection with the merger of Metro and the repayment of long-term debt.
Increase (Decrease) in Cash and Cash Equivalents
Our cash and cash equivalents totaled $56.7 million, $46.4 million, and $65.6 million at December 31, 2003, 2002, and 2001, respectively.

Further discussion regarding our convertible subordinated debentures can be found in Note 9 "CONVERTIBLE SUBORDINATED DEBENTURES."OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS
In January 2003, the FASB issued FIN 46, 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 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. FIN 46 is effective prospectively for all variable interests obtained subsequent to December 31, 2002. For variable interests existing prior to December 31, 2002, consolidation will be required beginning July 1, 2003. In December 2003, the FASB agreed to a broad-based deferral of the effective date of FIN 46 for public companies until the end of periods ending after March 15, 2004, with the exception of interests in special purpose entities, which are required in financial statements
"Related Parties, Commitmentsof public companies for periods ending after December 15, 2003. We have evaluated the applicability of FIN 46 to our relationship with each of City Square andContingencies.Gateway LLC and determined that these entities are not required to be consolidated within our consolidated financial statements. We have determined that Gateway LLC is not a variable interest entity as the equity investment is sufficient to absorb the expected losses and the holders of the equity investment do not lack any of the characteristics of a controlling interest. We have concluded that as we no longer occupy the space at Ten City Square and no longer derive any benefit from leasing the space, we would not be determined to be the related party most closely associated with City Square. As a result, we will continue to account for our leases with City Square and Gateway LLC consistent with our historical practices in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. We believe that we do not have an interest in any variable interest entities that would require consolidation.In November 2002, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 45 ("FIN 45"), "Guarantor's Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others." The
Companystatement requires a guarantor to record certain guarantees at fair value and to make significant new disclosures, even when the likelihood of making any payments under the guarantee iscommittedremote. The interpretation and its disclosure requirements are effective for financial statements of interim or annual periods ending after December 15, 2002. The interpretation's initial recognition and initial measurement provisions are applicable on a prospective basis to guarantees issued or modified after December 31, 2002. Under FIN 45, the guarantor's previous accounting for guarantees issued prior to December 31, 2002 will not be revised or restated.We are a guarantor with respect to a line of credit for Innovate EC, an

IMPACT OF INFLATION AND CHANGING
PRICES:PRICESInflationary 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 Companyus are based on the cost of labor and market conditions within the industry.The Company was able to increase its billing rates over its increases in direct labor costs in 2001.CERTAIN FACTORS THAT MAY AFFECT FUTURE
RESULTS:RESULTSThe following important factors, among others, could cause actual results to differ materially from those indicated by forward-looking statements made in this Annual Report on Form 10-K and presented elsewhere by management from
time to time. Keane'stime-to-time.Our quarterly operating results have varied, and
are likely tomay continue to vary significantly. This may result in volatility in the market price ofKeane's shares. Keane hasour common stock. We have experienced andexpectsexpect to continue to experience fluctuations initsour quarterly results.Keane'sOur gross margins vary based on a variety of factors including employee utilization rates and the number and type of services performedby Keaneduring a particular period. A variety of factors influenceKeane'sour revenue in a particular quarter, including:.

.- •
- the number and requirements of client engagements;
.- •
- employee utilization rates;
.- •
- changes in the rates
Keanewe can charge clients for services;.- •
- acquisitions; and
.- •
- other factors, many of which are beyond
Keane'sour control.21A significant portion of
Keane'sour expenses do not vary relative to revenue. As a result, if revenue in a particular quarter does not meet expectations,Keane'sour operating results could be materially adversely affected, which in turn may have a material adverse impact on the market price ofKeaneour common stock. In addition, many ofKeane'sour 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 hasWe have pursued, and
intendsintend to continue to pursue, strategic acquisitions. Failure to successfully integrate acquired businesses or assets may adversely affectKeane'sour financial performance. Inthe past fiverecent years,Keane haswe have grown significantly through acquisitions. From January 1, 1999 throughDecember 31, 2001, Keane hasMarch 5, 2004, we have completednine13 acquisitions. The aggregatecostmerger and consideration costs of these acquisitions totaled approximately$266.8$408.2 million.Keane'sOur future growth may be based in part on selected acquisitions. At any given time,Keanewe may be in various stages of considering acquisition opportunities.Keane can provide no assurances that it willWe may not be able to find and identify desirable acquisition targets orthat it willbe successful in entering into a definitive agreement with any one target. In addition, even ifKeane reacheswe reach a definitive agreementthere is no assurance that Keane willwith a target, we may be unable to complete any future acquisition.Keane typically anticipatesWe anticipate that each acquisition will bring benefits, such as an increase in revenue.

In addition, an acquisition may result in unexpected costs, expenses, and liabilities. Any of these events could have a material adverse effect onKeane'sour business, financial condition, and results of operations.The process of integrating acquired companies into
Keane'sour existing businessmaymight also result in unforeseen difficulties. Unforeseen operating difficulties may absorb significant management attention, whichKeane mightwe may otherwise devote toitsour existing business. In addition, the process may require significant32
financial resources that
Keanewe might otherwise allocate to other activities, including the ongoing development or expansion ofKeane'sour existing operations.Finally, future acquisitions could result in
Keaneour having to incur additional debt and/or contingent liabilities. We may also issue equity securities in connection with acquisitions, which could have a dilutive effect on our earnings per share. Any of these possibilities could have a material adverse effect onKeane'sour business, financial condition, and result of operations.The complex process of integrating Metro and SignalTree Solutions with Keane may disrupt the business activities of the Company and affect employee morale, thus affecting the Company's ability to pursue its business plan and retain key employees. Integrating the operations and personnel of Metro Information Services, Inc., which Keane acquired in November 2001, and SignalTree Solutions, which the Company acquired in March 2002 with Keane is a complex process. The integration of each of Metro and SignalTree Solutions may not be completed in the expected time period or may not achieve the anticipated benefits of the merger. The successful integration of Metro and SignalTree Solutions with Keane requires, among other things, integration of finance, human resources and sales organizations. The diversion of the attention of Keane's management and any difficulties encountered in the process of combining the companies could cause the disruption of, or a loss of momentum in, the activities of the combined company's business. Further, the process of combining Metro and SignalTree Solutions with Keane could negatively affect employee morale and the ability of the combined company to retain some of its key employees after the merger. The inability to successfully integrate the operations and personnel of Metro and SignalTree Solutions with Keane could have a material adverse effect on Keane's business, financial condition and results of operations. 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. Keane facesWe face significant competition for
itsour services, anditsour failure to remain competitive could limititsour ability to maintain existing clients or attract new clients. The market forKeane'sour 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'sour competition for client assignments and experienced personnel varies significantly from city to city and by the type of service provided. Some ofKeane'sour competitors are larger and have greater technical, financial, and marketing resources and greater name recognition in the markets they serve thandoes 22Keane.we do. 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 competeswe compete with some companies that are larger in the healthcare market and have greater financial resources thanKeane. Keane believeswe do. We believe that significant competitive factors in the healthcare software systems market include size and demonstrated ability to provide service to targeted healthcare markets.KeaneWe may not be able to compete successfully against current or future competitors. In addition, competitive pressures
faced by Keanemay materially adversely affectitsour business, financial condition, and results of operations.Keane conductsWe conduct business in the
United KingdomUK, Canada, and India, which exposesitus to a number of difficulties inherent in international activities. As a result ofitsour acquisition of SignalTree Solutions in March 2002,Keane has twowe now have three software development facilities inIndia and has addedIndia. As of December 31, 2003, we had approximately400876 technical professionalsto 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'sour ability to meet development objectives important toits newour strategy to add offshore delivery capabilities to the services we provide would be hindered, anditsour business could be harmed.If
Keane failswe fail to manageitsour geographically dispersed organization,itwe may fail to meet or exceeditsour financial objectives anditsour revenues may decline.Keane performsWe perform development activities in the U.S.and, Canada, andsoon will bein India, andhashave offices throughout theUnited States, the United Kingdom,U.S., UK, Canada, and India. This geographic dispersion requires us to devote substantial management resources that locally-based competitors do not need to devote to their operations.Keane'sOur operations in the
U.K.UK, Canada, and India are subject to currency exchange rate fluctuations, foreign exchange restrictions, changes in taxation, and other difficulties in managing operations overseas.KeaneWe may not be successful initsmanaging our international operations.KeaneWe may be unable to
redeploy itsre-deploy our professionals effectively if engagements are terminated unexpectedly, which would adversely affectitsour results of operations.Keane'sOur clients can cancel or reduce the scope of their engagements withKeaneus on short notice. If they do so,Keanewe may be unable to reassignitsour professionals to new engagements without delay. The cancellation or reduction in scope of an33
engagement could, therefore, reduce the utilization rate of
Keane'sour professionals, which would have a negative impact onKeane'sour business, financial condition, and results of operations.As a result of these and other factors,
the Company'sour past financial performance should not be relied on as an indication of future performance.Keane believesWe believe thatperiod to periodperiod-to-period comparisons ofitsour financial results are not necessarily meaningful andit expectswe expect that our results of operations may fluctuate fromperiod to periodperiod-to-period in the future.Our growth could be limited if we are unable to attract and retain personnel in the information technology and business consulting industries. We believe that our future success will depend in large part on our ability to continue to attract and retain highly skilled technical and management personnel. The competition for such personnel is intense. We may not succeed in attracting and retaining the personnel necessary to develop our business. If we do not, our business, financial condition, and results of operations could be materially adversely affected.
We may be prohibited from repurchasing, and may not have the financial resources to repurchase, our Debentures on the date for repurchase at the option of the holder or upon a designated event, as required by the indenture governing our Debentures due on June 15, 2013, which could cause defaults under our senior revolving credit facility and any other indebtedness we may incur in the future. The Debenture holders have the right to require us to repurchase all or a portion of their Debentures on June 15, 2008. The Debenture holders may also require us to repurchase all or a portion of their Debentures upon a designated event, as defined in the indenture governing the Debentures. If the Debenture holders elect to require us to repurchase their Debentures on any of the above dates or if a designated event were to occur, we may not have enough funds to pay the repurchase price for all tendered Debentures. We are currently prohibited under our senior revolving credit facility from repurchasing any Debentures if a designated event were to occur. We may also be prohibited under any indebtedness we may incur in the future from purchasing any Debentures prior to their stated maturity. In these circumstances, we will be required to repay all of the outstanding principal of, and pay any accrued and unpaid interest on, such indebtedness or to obtain the requisite consents from the holders of any such indebtedness to permit the repurchase of the Debentures. If we are unable to repay all of such indebtedness or are unable to obtain the necessary consents, we will be unable to offer to repurchase the Debentures, which would constitute an event of default under the indenture for the Debentures, which itself could constitute a default under our senior revolving credit facility or under the terms of any future indebtedness that we may incur. In addition, the events that constitute a designated event under the indenture for the Debentures are events of default under our senior revolving credit facility and may also be events of default under other indebtedness that we may incur in the future.
We incurred indebtedness when we sold our Debentures. We may incur additional indebtedness in the future. The indebtedness created by the sale of our Debentures, and any future indebtedness, could adversely affect our business and our ability to make full payment on the Debentures.Our aggregate level of indebtedness increased in connection with the sale of our Debentures. As of December 31, 2003, we had approximately $193.4 million of outstanding indebtedness and had the ability to incur additional debt under our revolving credit facility. We may also obtain additional long-term debt and working capital lines of credit to meet future financing needs, which would have the effect of increasing our total leverage. Any increase in our leverage could have significant negative consequences, including:
- •
- increasing our vulnerability to adverse economic and industry conditions;
- •
- limiting our ability to obtain additional financing;
- •
- limiting our ability to make acquisitions;
34
- •
- requiring the dedication of a substantial portion of our cash flow from operations to service our indebtedness, thereby reducing the amount of our cash flow available for other purposes, including capital expenditures;
- •
- limiting our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in our business and the industries in which we compete; and
- •
- placing us at a possible competitive disadvantage with less leveraged competitors and competitors that may have better access to capital resources.
Our ability to satisfy our future obligations, including debt service on our Debentures, depends on our future operating performance and on economic, financial, competitive, and other factors beyond our control. Our business may not generate sufficient cash flow to meet these obligations or to successfully execute our business strategy. If we are unable to service our debt and fund our business, we may be forced to reduce or delay capital expenditures, seek additional financing or equity capital, restructure or refinance our debt, or sell assets. We may not be able to obtain additional financing or refinance existing debt or sell assets on terms acceptable to us or at all.
ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
The Company doesWe do not engage in trading
market risk sensitivemarket-risk instruments or purchasing hedginginstrumentsor "other than trading" instruments that are likely to exposethe Companyus to market risk, whether interest rate, foreign currency exchange, and commodity price or equity price risk.The Company hasWe have not purchased options or entered into swaps or forward or futures contracts.The Company'sOur primary market risk exposure is that of interest rate risk onitsour investments, which would affect the carrying value of those investments. However, changes in market rates and the related impact on the fair value of our investments would not generally affect net income as our investments are fixed rate securities and are classified as available-for-sale. Investments classified as available-for-sale are carried at fair value with unrealized gains and losses recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. 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 had an impact on the rate of return on our cash and investments. Additionally,the Company transactswe transact business in theUnited Kingdom,UK, Canada, and India and as suchhashave exposure associated with movement in foreign currency exchange rates.23In 2003, net revenues derived from our foreign operations totaled approximately 3% of our total revenues.

20012003 and2000,2002, and the related consolidated statements of income, stockholders' equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31,2001.2003. These financial statements are the responsibility ofthe Company'sKeane, Inc.'s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Keane, Inc. at December 31,
20012003 and2000,2002, and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31,2001,2003, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States./s/As discussed in Note 5 "GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS" to the consolidated financial statements, in 2002 Keane, Inc. changed its method of accounting for goodwill and other intangible assets in accordance with the adoption of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142.

In some cases, we invoice customers prior to performing the service, resulting in deferred revenues, which are reported as unearned income in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.For fixed-price contracts, revenue is recognized using the proportional performance method. We use estimated labor-to-complete to measure the proportional performance. Proportional performance recognition relies on accurate estimates of cost, scope, and duration of each engagement. If we do not accurately estimate the cost or scope or do not manage our projects properly within the expected period of the project, future revenues may be negatively impacted. Adjustments to revenue are recorded in the period of which the over/under estimate is detected. Our management regularly reviews profitability and underlying estimates for fixed-price contracts.

Subsequent additions, modifications, or upgrades to internal-use software are capitalized only to the extent that they allow the software to perform a task it previously did not perform.

The net computer software costs are included in property and equipment in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.
SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT COSTS: In accordance with SFAS No. 86 ("SFAS 86"), "Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software to be Sold, Leased, or Otherwise Marketed," we capitalize costs incurred to develop commercial software products after technological feasibility has been established.

Enhancements to software products are capitalized where such enhancements extend the life or significantly expand the marketability of the products. Amortization expense is computed on a

GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS: SFAS No. 142 ("SFAS 142"), "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets," clarified criteria to recognize intangible assets
consist principally offrom goodwill andacquired customer-basedestablished requirements to cease amortizing goodwill and indefinite lived intangiblesnoncompetition agreements,andsoftware initially recorded at fair value.to begin an annual review for impairment. On January 1, 2002, we adopted SFAS 142 and were, therefore, required to perform an impairment test on our goodwill and other intangibles with indefinite lives during the first six months of 2002, and then on a periodic basis thereafter. Our initial goodwill impairment analysis was completed during the Second Quarter of 2002, and was based on January 1, 2002 balances. Through this analysis, it was determined that there was no impairment as of that date. Subsequently, during the Fourth Quarter of 2002 and 2003, we completed our annual impairment review based on September 30, 2002 and 2003 balances and determined that there was no impairment as of those dates. Future changes in estimates may result in a non-cash goodwill impairment that could have a material adverse impact on our financial condition and results of operations. As of December 31, 2003, we reported total intangibles of customer lists and other intangibles of $71.0 million and $86.8 million, respectively. Intangibles are amortized on a straight-line basis over15 years for goodwill and 3three to 15yearsyears.We periodically review our identifiable intangible assets for
other intangibles. At each reporting date, management assesses whether there has been a permanentimpairment in accordance with SFAS No. 144 ("SFAS 144"), "Accounting for thevalueImpairment or Disposal ofits long-term assets and the amount of such impairment by comparing anticipated undiscountedLong-Lived Assets." In determining whether an intangible asset is impaired, we must make assumptions regarding estimated future cash flows fromacquired business units withthecarryingasset, intended use of the asset, and other related factors. If the estimates or the related assumptions used to determine the value of therelated goodwill. The factors consideredintangible assets change, we may be required to record impairment charges for these assets.INCOME TAXES: We account for income taxes in accordance with SFAS No. 109 ("SFAS 109"), "Accounting for Income Taxes," which requires that deferred tax assets and liabilities be recognized using enacted tax rates for the effect of temporary differences between the book and tax basis of recorded assets and liabilities. SFAS 109 also requires that deferred tax assets be reduced by
management in performing this assessment include current operating results, trends and prospects, as well asa valuation allowance if it is more likely than not that some portion or all of theeffects of demand, competition and other economic factors. Accumulated amortization at December 31, 2001 and 2000 was $46.9 million and $35.4 million, respectively. INCOME TAXES: The Company accountsdeferred tax asset will not be realized. We account for income taxes under the asset and liability method, which requires recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the difference between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse.COMPREHENSIVE INCOME:
Statement of Financial Accounting StandardsSFAS No. 130 ("SFAS 130"), "Reporting ComprehensiveIncome",Income," establishes rules for the reporting and display of comprehensive income and its components. Components of comprehensive income include net income and certain transactions that have generally been reported in the consolidated statement of stockholders' equity. Other comprehensive income is comprised of currency translation adjustments,andavailable-for-sale securities valuationadjustments.adjustments, and adjustments related to a foreign defined benefit plan. At December 31,2001,2003, accumulated other comprehensiveincomeloss was comprised of foreign currency translation adjustment of$2.5$1.8 million,andsecurities valuation adjustment of $0.3 million, net of tax, and defined benefit plan adjustment of ($.5)3.5) million, net of tax.

The CompanyWe have stock-based compensation plans which are described in detail in Note 13 "BENEFIT PLANS." We apply the provisions of Accounting Principles Board ("APB") Opinion No. 25 ("APB 25"), "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees," to our stock-based compensation and accordingly, we use the intrinsic value-based method to account for stock option grants and restricted stock awards. We grant stock options for a fixed number of shares to employees with an exercise price equal to thefair valueclosing price of the shares at the date ofgrant.

The Companyexpense. We alsograntsgrant restricted stock for a fixed number of shares to employees for nominal consideration. In 2003, in connection with our acquisition of a majority interest in Worldzen, certain employees were granted Worldzen stock options. In accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Interpretation No. 44 ("FIN 44"), "Accounting for Certain Transactions Involving Stock Compensation" and SFAS No. 141 ("SFAS 141"), "Business Combinations," these stock options were recorded as unearned compensation at the date of acquisition and vest over the life of the stock option. Compensation expense related to restricted stock awards and the Worldzen stock options is recorded ratably over the restrictionperiod.and vesting period, respectively, and is included in the selling, general, and administrative expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of income. Our Employee Stock Purchase Plan ("ESPP") is non-compensatory as defined in APB 25 and accordingly, we do not recognize compensation expense in our consolidated financial statements.We have adopted the disclosure-only provisions of SFAS No. 148 ("SFAS 148"), "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation—Transition and Disclosure," an amendment of SFAS No. 123 ("SFAS 123"), "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation." Accordingly, no compensation expense has been recognized for our stock-based compensation plans other than for restricted stock and certain stock options.
Had compensation cost for our stock-based compensation plans been determined based on the fair value at the grant dates as calculated in accordance with SFAS 123, our net income and earnings per share for the years ended December 31, 2003, 2002, and 2001 would have been reduced to the pro forma amounts indicated below (in thousands, except per share data):

Otherwise, such costs are expensed as incurred.USE OF ESTIMATES: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

end-to-end business solutions, suchVariable Interest Entities," which requires the consolidation of a variable interest entity, asBusiness Consulting (Plan), Application Development and Integration (Build), and Application Development and Management Outsourcing (Manage). Approximately 93%, 94% and 96%defined, by its primary beneficiary. Primary beneficiaries are those companies that are subject to a majority of theCompany's revenue was derived from these offeringsrisk of loss or entitled to receive a majority of the entity's residual returns, or both. In 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. FIN 46 is effective prospectively forthe years endedall variable interests obtained subsequent to December 31,2001, 20002002. For variable interests existing prior to December 31, 2002, consolidation is required beginning July 1, 2003. In December 2003, the FASB agreed to a broad-based deferral of the effective date of FIN 46 for public companies until the end of periods ending after March 15, 2004, with the exception of interests in special purpose entities, which are required in financial statements of public companies for periods ending after December 15, 2003. We have evaluated the applicability of FIN 46 to our relationship with each of City Square Limited Partnership ("City Square") and1999, respectively. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTSGateway Developers LLC ("Gateway LLC") and determined that these entities are not required to be consolidated within our consolidated financial statements. We have determined that Gateway LLC is not a variable interest entity as the equity investment is sufficient to absorb the expected losses and the holders of the equity investment do not lack any of the characteristics of a controlling interest. We have concluded that as we no longer occupy the space at Ten City Square and no longer derive any benefit from leasing the space, we would not be determined to be the related party most closely associated with City Square. As a result, we will continue to account for our leases with City Square and Gateway LLC consistent with our historical practices in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. We believe that we do not have an interest in any variable interest entities that would require consolidation.In
June 1998,April 2003, theFinancial Accounting StandardsFASB issued SFAS No. 149 ("SFAS 149"), "Amendment of Statementof Financial Accounting Standards133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities." SFAS 149 amends and clarifies financial accounting and reporting for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts (collectively referred to as derivatives) and for hedging activities under SFAS No. 133(FAS 133)("SFAS 133"), "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities."which required adoption in periods beginningThis statement is effective for contracts entered into or modified after June15, 1999. FAS 133 was subsequently amended by Statement30, 2003. Adoption ofFinancial Accounting Standards No. 137, " Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities- Deferral of the Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 133" and will now be effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000, with earlier adoption permitted. In June 2000, the FASB issued Statement No. 138. " Accounting for Certain Derivative Instruments and Certain Hedging Activities," an amendment to FAS 133 and effective simultaneously with FAS 133. The Company adopted FAS 133 as amended by FAS 138 in the first quarter of 2001, and FAS133 hasthis statement did nothadhave a significantimpacteffect onitsour consolidated financial position or results of operations.In
July 2001,November 2002 and May 2003, the Emerging Issues Task Force ("EITF") reached a consensus on Issue No. 00-21, "Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables." EITF Issue No. 00-21 provides guidance and criteria for determining when a multiple deliverable arrangement contains more than one unit of accounting. The guidance also addresses methods of measuring and allocating arrangement consideration to separate units of accounting. The guidance is effective for revenue47
arrangements entered into after June 15, 2003. Adoption of this statement did not have a significant effect on our consolidated financial position or results of operations because we do not engage in hedging transactions.
In May 2003, the FASB issued
FASSFAS No.141, "Business Combinations"150 ("SFAS 150"), "Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity." SFAS 150 establishes standards for how an issuer classifies and measures certain financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity. This statement is effective for financial instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003. Adoption of this statement did not have a significant effect on our consolidated financial position or results of operations.In May 2003, the EITF reached a consensus on Issue No. 01-08, "Determining Whether an Arrangement Contains a Lease." EITF Issue No. 01-08 provides guidance on how to determine whether an arrangement contains a lease that is within the scope of SFAS No. 13 ("SFAS 13"), "Accounting for Leases." The guidance in EITF Issue No. 01-08 is based on whether the arrangement conveys to the purchaser (lessee) the right to use a specific asset. The EITF Issue No. 01-08 will be effective for arrangements entered into or modified in the Second Quarter of fiscal 2004. Presently, we intend to adopt this statement prospectively and do not anticipate adoption of this statement to have a significant effect on our consolidated financial position or results of operations.
In December 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 132 (revised 2003) ("SFAS 132 as revised"), "Employers' Disclosures about Pensions and Other Postretirement Benefits." This Statement revises employers' disclosures about pension plans and other postretirement benefit plans, but does not change the measurement or recognition provisions of SFAS No. 87, "Employers' Accounting for Pensions", SFAS No. 88, "Employers' Accounting for Settlements and Curtailments of Defined Benefit Pension Plans and for Termination Benefits", and
FASSFAS No.142, "Goodwill106, "Employer's Accounting for Postretirement Benefits Other than Pensions." SFAS 132 as revised requires additional disclosures about the assets, obligations, cash flows, andOther Intangible Assets." FAS 141 eliminates the pooling-of-interests methodnet periodic benefit cost ofaccounting for business combinations except for qualifying business combinations that were initiated prior to July 2001. FAS 141 further clarifies the criteria to recognize intangible assets separately from goodwill. The requirements ofdefined benefit pension plans and other postretirement plans. This Statement141 areis effective forany business combination thatfinancial statements with fiscal years ending after December 15, 2003, except the additional disclosure information about foreign plans isinitiatedeffective for fiscal years ending after June30, 2001.15, 2004. We have a foreign defined benefit plan and as a result, will include the required additional disclosures as of December 31, 2004.In December 2003, the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") published Staff Accounting Bulletin ("SAB") No. 104, "Revenue Recognition." This SAB updates the SEC staff's prior guidance provided in SAB No. 101, "Revenue Recognition," removes material no longer necessary, and conforms the interpretive material retained with current authoritative accounting and auditing guidance and SEC rules and regulations, including EITF Issue No. 00-21, "Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables." Adoption of this accounting guidance did not impact our consolidated financial statements.

At December 31, 2003, we held available-for-sale securities with an aggregate fair value of approximately $30.9 million that had aggregate gross unrealized losses of approximately $0.2 million. All such securities have been in a continuous unrealized loss position for less than 12 months. We believe that the impairments to these investments are not other-than-temporary at this time as these securities are all highly rated investments which have been subject to routine market changes that have not been significant to date.

Property and equipment consists of the following (dollars in thousands):
As of December 31, 2003 2002 Buildings and improvements $ 47,022 $ 6,768 Office equipment 15,510 15,309 Computer equipment and software 68,917 70,297 Leasehold improvements 12,167 12,198 143,616 104,572 Less accumulated depreciation and amortization (68,185 ) (73,411 ) Total $ 75,431 $ 31,161 Depreciation expense, including amortization of assets under capital leases, was $11.2 million, $11.1 million, and $11.7 million, for the years ended 2003, 2002, and 2001, respectively. Computer equipment and software includes assets arising from capital lease obligations at a cost of $2.7 million and $3.1 million, with accumulated amortization totaling $2.3 million and $1.8 million as of December 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively.
In 2002, we began capitalizing the costs of internally developed software with a useful life in excess of one year in accordance with SOP 98-1. We have classified these costs within computer equipment and software. During 2003 and 2002, we capitalized approximately $4.3 million and $4.1 million, respectively, which consists primarily of internal and external labor costs. As of December 31, 2003 and 2002, these unamortized capitalized costs related to the implementation of our PeopleSoft Enterprise Resource Planning applications were approximately $8.4 million and $4.1 million, respectively.

Our principal executive office is located at 100 City Square in Boston, Massachusetts (the "New Facility"). We lease the New Facility from Gateway LLC as described further in Note 15 "RELATED PARTIES, COMMITMENTS, AND CONTINGENCIES." In view of the related party transactions discussed in Note 15, we 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 Issue No. 97-10, "The Effect of Lessee Involvement in Asset Construction." We began occupying the New Facility and making lease payments in March 2003. As a result of the completion of the construction phase and our current occupancy, the related capitalized costs are now classified as "Building" within property and equipment, net, in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. A liability for the same amount appears as accrued building costs in both our short- and long-term liabilities. The costs of the building are being amortized on a straight-line basis over a 39-year useful life.
Effective January 1, 2002, we adopted SFAS 144, which supersedes SFAS No. 121 ("SFAS 121"), "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-lived Assets and for Long-lived Assets to Be Disposed Of," and provides a single accounting model for long-lived assets to be disposed of. Adoption of this statement did not have a material effect on our results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2002 or December 31, 2003.
5. GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS
Effective January 1, 2002, we adopted SFAS 142. Under
FASSFAS 142, goodwill and indefinite lived intangible assets are no longer amortized, but are reviewed annually (or more frequently if impairmentindictorsindicators arise) for impairment. Separable intangible assets that are not deemed to have an indefinite life will continue to be amortized over their useful lives. The amortization provisions ofStatementSFAS 142 apply to goodwill and intangible assets acquired on or after June 30, 2001. With respect to goodwill and intangible assets acquired prior to June 30, 2001, companiesarewere required to adoptStatementSFAS 142 in their first fiscal year beginning after December 15, 2001. Because of the different transition dates for goodwill and intangible assets acquired on or before June 30, 2001 and those acquired after that date, pre-existing goodwill and intangibleswill bewere amortized duringthisthe transition period until adoption, whereas new goodwill and indefinite lived intangible assets acquired after June 30, 2001willwere not.The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the aggregate impact all provisions of FAS51
GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS—ADOPTION OF SFAS 142
will have on its financial position and results of operations. In October 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets." SFAS No. 144 supersedes SFAS No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of" and provides a single accounting model for long-lived assets to be disposed of. The Company is required to adopt SFAS No. 144 for the fiscal year beginning after December 15, 2001 and is currently in the process of evaluating the impact on its consolidated financial statements. 32B.

Worldzen, Inc.
On October 17, 2003, we acquired a controlling interest in Worldzen, a privately held BPO firm. In connection with the acquisition, we paid $9.0 million to acquire the Series A preferred shares of Worldzen Holdings Limited held by an unrelated third party. We contributed to Worldzen our Worldzen Holdings Limited shares, $4.3 million in cash and certain assets of our Keane Consulting Group ("KCG"), our business consulting arm. This transaction was accounted for under the purchase method in accordance with SFAS 141 and SFAS 142. As a result of the
following:transaction, we own approximately 62% of Worldzen's outstanding capital stock. The former majority shareholders of Worldzen Holdings Limited contributed their Worldzen Holdings Limited shares to Worldzen in exchange for approximately 38% of Worldzen's outstanding capital stock and are currently members of Worldzen's management. The asset and liabilities contributed to Worldzen were recorded in relation to each shareholder's ownership percentage in Worldzen as follows: (i) carryover basis related to assets and liabilities contributed to Worldzen for which the individual shareholder had a prior interest; and (ii) fair value for assets and liabilities for which an individual shareholder had no prior interest. As a result, we recorded goodwill of approximately $13.8 million in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet.In connection with the acquisition, we obtained the right to purchase certain of the remaining shares held by the minority shareholders of Worldzen at different times ("call options"). Our first call option is exercisable beginning on January 1, 2006 and ending on December 31,

The fair value of this first call option, using a Black-Scholes valuation model, ispresented net of doubtful accounts. The activityapproximately $3.8 million and is included in other assets in theallowance accountaccompanying consolidated balance sheet. The other call options are exercisable at the fair market value of the underlying shares during the call periods, which are exercisable at certain times during the period January 1, 2007 through December 31, 2009. Since these other call options can only be exercised at the fair value of the underlying shares, no amounts have been recorded for these call options in our consolidated financial statements.Also in connection with the acquisition, the minority shareholders were given the right to require us to purchase certain of their remaining shares at various times ("put options") subject to the achievement of certain operating and financial milestones related to Worldzen's business performance. The first put option, the term of which is October 17, 2003 through December 31, 2005, is exercisable based on a stated value for the underlying shares of $2.8 million. The fair value of this put option,
53
using a Black-Scholes valuation model, was approximately $279,000 at the acquisition date and will be reflected as compensation expense in the accompanying consolidated financial statements through the expiration date of the option. The other put options are exercisable at fair market value for the underlying shares during the put periods, which are exercisable at certain times during the period January 1, 2008 through March 1, 2010. Since these other put options can only be exercised at the fair value of the underlying shares, no amounts have been recorded for these put options in our consolidated financial statements.
Also in connection with the acquisition, the minority shareholders granted two Worldzen employees approximately 720,000 stock options to purchase the shares held by the minority shareholders. These stock options were granted at an exercise price below the fair market value of the shares at the grant date and vest over six years. In accordance with FIN 44 and APB 25, the intrinsic value of the stock options granted was approximately $0.4 million and was recorded as unearned compensation in Worldzen's consolidated balance sheet. As a result, Worldzen will recognize compensation expense over the vesting period through December 31, 2009.
SignalTree Solutions Holding, Inc.
On March 15, 2002, we acquired SignalTree Solutions Holding, Inc. ("SignalTree Solutions"), a privately held, U.S.-based corporation with two software development facilities in India and additional operations in the U.S. Under the terms of the merger agreement, we paid $68.2 million in cash for SignalTree Solutions.
We 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 life with the exception of goodwill. The financial position, results of operations, and cash flows of SignalTree Solutions were included in our financial statements effective as of the purchase 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 $41.0 million and other identified intangible assets were valued at $21.5 million. At the date of acquisition, we entered a plan to exit certain activities and consolidate facilities. As a result, we recorded a restructuring liability of $1.6 million related to the lease obligation and certain other costs for those facilities. In accordance with EITF Issue No. 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, outstanding Metro stock options were converted at the same ratio into options to purchase 571,058 shares of our common stock.55
We accounted for the acquisition as a purchase, pursuant to which the assets and liabilities of Metro, including identifiable intangible assets, were recorded at their respective fair values.

As a result, we recorded a restructuring liability of $11.0 million in 2001 related to the lease obligation and certain other costs for those facilities. In accordance with EITF Issue No. 95-3, "Recognition of Liabilities in Connection with a Purchase Business Combination," these costs, which are not associated with the generation of future revenues and have no future economic benefit, are reflected as assumed liabilities in the allocation of the purchase price to the net assets acquired. During 2002, we adjusted the purchase price allocation principally as a result of an adjustment in the valuation of the liability assumed for the restructured facilities and for other matters unresolved at the time of acquisition. As a result of these non-cash adjustments, the goodwill balance was increased by $3.1 million.The components of the purchase price allocation as of date of merger with 2002 adjustments is as follows (dollars in thousands):

In connection with the
Company's acquisitionpurchase ofParallax Solutions Ltd. in Februarya business complementary to our operations during the Third Quarter of1999, the Company2002, we issued a$6.6$3.0 million non-interest bearing note payabletoas partial consideration. The note has a one-year term with a one-year extension expiring on September 25, 2004. Additionally, during theformer owners.Third Quarter of 2002, we acquired an existing $100,000 non-interest bearing note payable in connection with employment credits. During 2003, we reduced theyearnote payable balance by $1.0 million as a result of delivering related service credits and we had paid the $100,000 note for a remaining balance of $2.0 million as of December 31, 2003. During 2001,the Companywe paid the remaining balance of a $4.0 million note related to a previous acquisition.9. CONVERTIBLE SUBORDINATED DEBENTURES
In June 2003, we issued in a private placement $150.0 million principal amount of 2.0% Convertible Subordinated Debentures due 2013 ("Debentures"). The Debentures are unsecured and subordinated in right of payment to all of our senior indebtedness. The Debentures accrue regular interest at a rate of 2.0% per year. Interest is payable semi-annually in arrears on June 15 and December 15 of each year, beginning December 15, 2003. Beginning with the six-month interest period commencing June 15, 2008, we will pay additional contingent interest during any six-month interest period if the trading price of the Debentures for each of the five trading days immediately preceding the first day of the interest period equals or exceeds 120% of the principal amount of the Debentures. During any interest period when contingent interest is payable, the contingent interest payable per $1,000 principal amount of Debentures will equal 0.35% calculated on the average trading price of $1,000 principal amount of Debentures during the five trading days immediately preceding the first day of the applicable six-month interest period and will be payable in arrears.
On or after June 15, 2008, we may, by providing at least 30-day notice to the holders, redeem any of the Debentures at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Debentures, plus accrued interest and unpaid interest, if any, and liquidated damages, if any, to, but excluding, the redemption date.
The Debentures are convertible at the option of the holder into shares of our common stock at an initial conversion rate of 54.4989 shares per $1,000 principal amount of Debentures, which is equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $18.349 per share, subject to adjustments, prior to the close of business on the final maturity date only under the following circumstances: (a) during any fiscal quarter commencing after September 30, 2003, and only during such fiscal quarter, if the closing sale price of our common stock exceeds 120% of the conversion price (approximately $22.019) for at least 20 trading days in the 30 consecutive trading day period ending on the last trading day of the preceding fiscal quarter; (b) during the five business days after any five consecutive trading day period in which the trading price per $1,000 principal amount of Debentures for each day of that period was less than 98% of the product of the closing sale price of our common stock and the number of shares issuable upon conversion of $1,000 principal amount of the Debentures; (c) if the Debentures have been called for redemption; or (d) upon the occurrence of specified corporate transactions.
Debt issuance costs were approximately $4.4 million and are included in other assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. These costs are being amortized to interest expense over five years on a straight-line basis. The unamortized debt issuance costs were $3.9 million as of December 31, 2003.
10. RESTRUCTURING CHARGES
Workforce reductions
During 2003, we had two additional workforce reductions related to our business consulting arm and one of our North America branches, which included a headcount reduction of 25 and 50 employees, respectively. As a result of these reductions, we recorded a total restructuring charge of $1.3 million, consisting of retention and severance costs. In accordance with SFAS No. 146 ("SFAS 146"), "Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities," we accrued for these costs beginning at the time of an employee's notification through the termination date. No further costs are anticipated to be incurred related to either of the two workforce reductions in 2003. During the Fourth Quarter of 2003, we evaluated the accrual balances of the current and prior year's workforce restructuring balance and determined that $0.1 million and $1.4 million of charges taken in 2003 and 2002, respectively, were no longer deemed to be necessary due to employee resignation prior to termination or revised workforce needs. The net impact of the workforce reductions to the 2003 consolidated statement of income was an expense reduction of $0.2 million.
As of December 31, 2003, we had completed 25 and 27 terminations related to the reductions in force for our business consulting arm and one of our North America branches, respectively. Cash expenditures in 2003 related to the current year severance and retention restructuring accruals were $1.1 million. The remaining balance of $0.2 million severance and retention costs are expected to be paid during the First and Second Quarters of 2004.
In the Fourth Quarters of 2002 and 2001, we recorded restructuring charges of $17.6 million and $10.4 million, respectively. Of these charges, $3.2 million and $4.4 million, related to a workforce
59
reduction of approximately 229 and 900 employees for the years 2002 and 2001, respectively. In 2002, we also had a change in estimate of $0.3 million in connection with workforce reductions, which resulted in a net workforce restructuring charge of $2.9 million. Cash expenditures in 2003 related to prior year workforce reductions were $1.8 million. As of December 31, 2003 we had a remaining balance of approximately $23,000 related to the 2002 workforce reduction, which we anticipate will be fully paid in the First Quarter of 2004.
Branch office closures
During December 2003, in accordance with SFAS 146, we accrued $0.9 million for a restructuring of two of our real estate locations from which we no longer were receiving economic benefit. Additionally, during the Fourth Quarter of 2003, we performed an evaluation of our restructuring balances for properties restructured in prior periods and determined that we were over accrued by $1.0 million, as a result of negotiating early lease terminations or obtaining a subtenant. In prior years, in accordance with EITF Issue No. 94-3, "Liability Recognition for Certain Employee Termination Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an Activity (Including Certain Costs Incurred in a Restructuring)," we have performed reviews of our business strategy and concluded that consolidating some of our branch offices was key to our success. As a result of this
note. G.review, we charged to restructuring $12.1 million in 2002 and $4.0 million in 2001 for branch office closings and certain other expenditures. In the Fourth Quarter of 2002, we also performed a review of accrual balances for properties restructured in prior years. As a result, we 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 our restructuring liability of $0.8 million 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 2003 related to branch office closings were $9.0 million, which is net of approximately $1.7 million of sublease payments received.Impairments
We also recorded an impairment charge of $1.8 million and $0.8 million in 2002 and 2001, respectively, for assets associated with the facilities identified in the branch office closures that became impaired as a result of these restructuring actions.

the Companywe initiated a new "Time Accelerated Restricted Stock Award Plan"(TARSAP)("TARSAP") underitsour 1998 Stock Incentive Plan, whereby the vesting of certain stock options is directly impacted bythe performance of the Company.our performance. The vesting of stock options granted under the TARSAP accelerates upon the meeting of certain profitability criteria. If these criteria are not met, such options will vest five years after the date of grant and expire at the end often10 years.The Company believes that tying the vesting of larger blocks of certain stock options directly to financial performance more effectively utilizes options that would have been granted in future years, while making employees true stakeholders. The Company also anticipates that more closely aligning the interest of management and key employees with shareholders will focus employees on the goals and objectives most important to shareholders, and that the granting of such options were an important factor in securing employee confidence, commitment, and trust at a critical junction in the implementation of its new strategic plan. Finally, the Company believes that the cost to shareholders of these additional options can be kept reasonable as a result of its stock repurchase program. Since May of 1999, the Company has invested $108.9 million to repurchase 5, 457,200 million shares of its common stock under three separate authorizations.63

Years ended December 31, 2003 2002 2001 Federal income taxes at 35% $ 17,044 $ 4,772 $ 10,228 State income taxes, net 1,921 1,129 363 Disallowed meals expense 293 508 506 Foreign rate differential (642 ) 489 (81 ) Non-benefitable book losses 1,809 653 — Adjustment of prior-year's estimated tax liabilities (1,669 ) (1,532 ) — Merger related costs — — 1,048 Other, net 718 (564 ) (230 ) Total $ 19,474 $ 5,455 $ 11,834 Our policy is to establish reserves for taxes that may become payable in future years as a result of an examination by tax authorities. In accordance with SFAS No. 5 ("SFAS 5"), "Accounting for Contingencies," we establish the reserves based upon our assessment of exposure associated with permanent tax differences and interest expense applicable to both permanent and temporary difference adjustments. The tax reserves are analyzed periodically and adjusted, as events occur to warrant adjustment to the reserves, such as when the statutory period for assessing tax on a given tax return or
69
period expires, the reserve associated with that period is reduced. In addition, the adjustment to the reserve may reflect additional exposure based on current calculations. Similarly, if tax authorities provide administrative guidance or a decision is rendered in the courts, appropriate adjustments will be made to the tax reserve.
The adjustment of prior years' estimated tax liability of $1.7 million and
$1.4$1.5 million for the years ended December 31, 2003 and December 31, 2002, respectively, are primarily attributable to the expiration of the statutory period for assessing state tax on periods ended in 1996, 1997, and 1998, and federal tax for the period ended in 1998, respectively.Deferred taxes arise because of differences in the book and tax bases of assets and liabilities. Significant components of net deferred tax asset and liabilities are as follows (dollars in thousands):
As of December 31, 2003 2002 Deferred tax assets: Allowance for doubtful accounts and other reserves $ 2,059 $ 2,022 Restructuring reserve 5,727 10,713 Accrued expenses 2,435 6,004 Deferred compensation 2,271 1,373 Depreciation 1,343 6,638 Minimum pension liability adjustment 1,615 773 Acquired domestic net operating loss carryforwards 1,814 3,214 Other net operating loss carryforwards 2,686 1,059 Other, net (1,213 ) 2,072 Valuation allowance (4,301 ) (1,059 ) Total deferred tax assets 14,436 32,809

Of these NOL carryforwards, $4.4 million relates to a prior acquisition and is subject to limitation pursuant to IRC Section 382.
During 2003, the valuation allowance increased $3.2 million as a result of the minimum pension liability adjustment and certain subsidiary net operating losses. The
Company's projectedtax effect of the minimum pension liability adjustment in 2003 totaling $0.8 million was charged to other comprehensive income. Approximately $1.0 million of the benefitobligationof any future reduction of the valuation allowance attributable to the minimum pension liability would be directly allocated to other comprehensive income.Cumulative undistributed earnings of our foreign subsidiaries amounted to approximately $12.4 million at December 31,
2000 was2003. No provision for U.S. income tax has been made for the repatriation of these earnings because we consider the earnings to be indefinitely reinvested. If such earnings were distributed, tax expense would increase by approximately$15.2$1.3 million.During 2001, service cost and interest cost were $1.6 million and $1.0 million, respectively. Also during 2001, employee contributions, actuarial gain, and benefits paid were $.3 million, $1.0 million and $.3 million, respectively. The projected benefit obligation at December 31, 2001 was $16.8 million. The fair value70
In addition, our India subsidiary, part of the
plan assets asSignalTree Solutions acquisition, has tax holidays in India, which reduce or eliminate the income tax in that country. The holidays expire between 2006 and 2009. Based on the currently enacted regular corporate income tax rate in India, the benefit to us ofDecember 31, 2000 was $17.0 million. The actual returnthe tax holidays for the year ended December 31, 2003 was approximately $0.9 million or $.01 per diluted share. The benefit to us of the tax holidays for the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001, wasa reduction in plan assets of $2.6 million. During 2001, employer and employee contributions totaled $1.5approximately $0.3 million andbenefits paid totaled $.3 million. The fair value of the plan assets at December 31, 2001 was $15.6 million. The components of the 2001 net periodic pension cost were as follows: service cost was $1.6 million, interest cost was $1.0 million, the expected return$0, respectively, and immaterial onplan assets was $1.4 million, and net amortization and deferrals was $.4 million.

The Company's corporate offices are located in Boston, Massachusetts. The building is leased fromRelated Party Transactions
In October 2001, we entered into a
partnership in which an officer and certain directors and shareholders oflease for theCompany are limited partners. The lease isNew Facility with Gateway LLC for a term oftwenty years at annual rentals considered to be at prevailing market rates and lasting through 2006. The Company is also required to pay specified percentages of annual increases in real estate taxes and operating expenses. The Company leases additional office space and apartments under operating leases and capital leases, some of which may be renewed for periods up to five years, subject to increased rentals. Rental expense for all of the Company's facilities, except as noted below, amounted to approximately $19.4 million in 2001, $22.4 million in 2000 and $21.8 million in 1999. The Company is committed to minimum annual rental payments under all leases, except for the new facility noted below, of approximately $27 million in 2002, $22.9 million in 2003, $17.3 million in 2004, $11.3 million in 2005, $ 5.1 million in 2006 and an aggregate of $5.6 million for 2007 and thereafter. In October, 2001, the Company entered into a lease with Gateway Developers LLC ("Gateway LLC") for a term of twelve12 years, pursuant to whichthe Companywe agreed to lease approximately 95,000 square feet of office and developmentspace in a building under construction at One Chelsea Street in Boston, Massachusetts (the "New Facility"). The Company willspace. We lease 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 members of John Keane Family LLC are trusts for the benefit of John F. Keane, Chairman oftheour Board ofthe Company,Directors, and his immediate family members.37On 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
to belocated 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.The Company currently expects to occupy the new facility in January 2003. The Company will consolidate several existing facilities it hasStephen D. Steinour, one of our directors, 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 theBoston area as part of this move.approval process for the Gateway Loan.We began occupying the New Facility and making lease payments in March 2003. Based upon
itsour knowledge ofrentallease payments for comparable facilities in the Boston area,the Company believeswe believe that therentallease 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 timethe Companywe entered into the lease, as favorable tothe Companyus as those which could have been obtained from an independent third party. Lease payments to Gateway LLC in 2003 were approximately $2.8 million.In view of these related party transactions,
the Company haswe concluded that, during the construction phase of thefacility,New Facility, the estimated construction in progress costs for theproject willNew Facility would be capitalized in accordance with EITF Issue No. 97-10, "The Effect of Lessee Involvement in Asset Construction." Acreditliability in the same amountiswas included in thelong-term portion of capital lease and other obligations in the accompanying balance sheet.caption "Accrued construction-in-progress costs." For purposes of the consolidatedstatementstatements of cash flows,the Company characterizeswe characterized this treatment as a non-cash financing activity.The Company is committed to an Enterprise Application Architecture (EAA) projectAs a result of the completion of the construction phase and our current occupancy, the related capitalized costs are now classified as "Building" and are included in property and equipment, net, in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. A liability for the
approximate costsame amount appears as accrued71
building costs into both our short- and long-term liabilities. The costs of
$8.5the building are being amortized on a straight-line basis over a 39-year useful life. Additionally, the obligation is being reduced over the life of the lease at an interest rate of 8.67%. The net effect of the amortization that is included in the operating results approximates the rent expense resulting from the contractual payments we are required to make under the lease.In February 1985, we entered into a lease, which subsequently was extended to a term of 20 years, with City Square, pursuant to which we leased approximately 34,000 square feet of office and development space in a building located at Ten City Square, in Boston, Massachusetts. We now lease approximately 88% of this building and the remaining 12% is leased by other tenants. John F. Keane, Chairman of our Board of Directors, and Philip J. Harkins, one of our directors, are limited partners of City Square. Based upon our knowledge of lease payments for comparable facilities in the Boston area, we believe that the lease payments under this lease, which will be approximately $1.0 million per year ($30.00 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, which will be approximately $0.2 million per year were, at the time we entered into the lease, as favorable to us as those which could have been obtained from an independent third party. As a result of our occupancy of the New Facility (as described above), we vacated and are in the process of seeking a third party to sublease the space we formerly occupied at Ten City Square.
As a result of the vacancy at Ten City Square in December 2002, we 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. In 2003, we paid approximately $1.0 million in lease payments and as of December 31, 2003, we had a remaining reserve balance of $2.9 million.
AIn January 2003, the FASB issued FIN 46, 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
projectrisk of loss or entitled to receive a majority of the entity's residual returns, or both. In 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.We have evaluated the applicability of FIN 46 to our relationship with each of City Square and Gateway LLC and determined that we are not required to consolidate these entities within our consolidated financial statements. We have determined that Gateway LLC is not a variable interest entity as the equity investment is sufficient to absorb the expected losses and the holders of the equity investment do not lack any of the characteristics of a controlling interest. We have concluded that as we no longer occupy the space at Ten City Square and no longer derive any benefit from leasing the space, we would not be determined to be the related party most closely associated with City Square. As a result, we will continue to account for our leases with City Square and Gateway LLC consistent with our historical practices in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. We believe that we do not have an interest in any variable interest entities that would require consolidation.
In March 2003, our Audit Committee approved a related party transaction involving a director of Keane. We have subcontracted with Guardent, Inc. ("Guardent") for a customer project. Maria Cirino, a director of Keane, is an executive officer, director, and shareholder of Guardent. In addition, the Audit Committee permitted us to engage Guardent as a subcontractor for the purposes of providing future services to Keane's customers. No payment to Guardent for a single engagement may exceed
72
$75,000 and no payment to Guardent for all engagements in any calendar year may exceed $250,000. As of December 31, 2003, we made payments of approximately $143,000 to Guardent. On February 27, 2004, Guardent was acquired by VeriSign, Inc. Since then, Ms. Cirino has held the position of Senior Vice President of VeriSign Managed Security Services.
In July 2003, our Audit Committee approved an additional related party transaction involving a director of Keane. We subcontracted with ArcStream Solutions, Inc. ("ArcStream") to develop and assist in the implementation of a wireless electronic application at two customer sites. In accordance with this transaction, we may pay ArcStream a royalty fee for potential future installations during the licensing period for the next seven years. John F. Keane, Jr., a director of Keane, is Chief Executive Officer, director, and founder of ArcStream, John F. Keane, Jr. is the son of John F. Keane, Sr., our Chairman of the Board of Directors, and the brother of Brian T. Keane, our President, Chief Executive Officer, and a director. As of December 31, 2003, we made payments of approximately $112,000 to ArcStream.
Commitments and Contingencies
In addition to our principal executive office, the New Facility, we lease office space and apartments in more than 70 locations in North America, the UK, and India under operating leases and capital leases, some of which may be
completedrenewed for periods up to five years, subject to increased rental fees. Rental expense for all of our facilities amounted to approximately $15.0 million in 2003, $17.6 million in 2002, and $19.4 million in 2001. We have subleases for certain restructured properties. The related cash receipts for these properties is reflected against the restructuring liability and are not recorded in the accompanying consolidated statements of income.As of December 31, 2003, the future minimum lease payments for the next five years and thereafter under operating and capital leases, were as follows (dollars in thousands):

In February 2003, we entered into a new $50.0 million unsecured revolving credit facility (the "credit facility") 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 us to maintain a maximum total funded debt and other financial ratios. The credit facility also includes covenants that, subject to certain specific exceptions and limitations, among other things, restrict our ability to incur additional debt, make certain acquisitions or dispositions of assets, create liens, and pay dividends.On June 11, 2003, we and two of our banks amended certain provisions of the credit facility relating to financial covenants. These covenants, which include total indebtedness and leverage ratios, are no more restrictive than those initially contained in the credit facility. On October 17, 2003 and February 5, 2004, we and two of our banks further amended certain provisions of the credit facility to expand our ability to make certain acquisitions. The annual commitment fee for maintaining the credit facility is 30 basis points on the unused portion of the credit facility, up to a maximum of $150,000. As of December 31, 2003, we had no debt outstanding under the credit facility. We may draw upon the credit facility up to $50.0 million less any outstanding letters of credit that have been issued against the credit facility. Any amounts drawn upon the credit facility constitute senior indebtedness for purposes of the Debentures. Borrowings bear interest at one of the bank's base rate or the Euro currency reserve rate.
During the First Quarter of 2003, we paid $0.9 million 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 in the next 12 months for achieving these goals may range from $1.0 million to $2.0 million. We 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. During 2003, we recognized revenue of approximately $2.1 million in relation to the contingent service credits and reduced each of the related deferred revenue and note by approximately $1.0 million. The note has a one-year term with a one-year extension expiring on September 25,
