NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(unaudited)

1. Basis of Presentation

The consolidated financial statements of Answerthink,Inc. (“Answerthink” or the “Company”) include the accounts of the Company and all of its wholly owned subsidiaries. All material intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include our accounts and those of our wholly owned subsidiaries which we are required to consolidate. We consolidate the assets, liabilities, and results of operations of entities in accordance with Accounting Research Bulletin (“ARB”) No. 51,Consolidated Financial Statements, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 94,Consolidation of All Majority-Owned Subsidiaries – an amendment of ARB No. 51, with related amendments of Accounting Principles Board (“APB”) Opinion No. 18 and ARB No. 43, Chapter 12, and the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Interpretation (“FIN”) No. 46,Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, as revised.

In the opinion of management, the accompanying consolidated financial statements reflect all normal and recurring adjustments which are necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s financial position, results of operations, and cash flows as of the dates and for the periods presented. The consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission regarding interim financial reporting. Accordingly, these statements do not include all the disclosures normally required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for annual financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 29, 2006 included in the Form 10-K filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The consolidated results of operations for the quarter and six months ended March 30,June 29, 2007 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for any future period or for the full fiscal year.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

2. Net LossIncome (Loss) Per Common Share

Basic net lossincome (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net lossincome (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. With regard to common stock subject to vesting requirements or restricted stock units issued to employees, the calculation includes only the vested portion of such stock. Accordingly, common shares outstanding for the basic net lossincome (loss) per share computation are lower than actual shares outstanding.

Net lossincome (loss) per common share assuming dilution is computed by dividing net lossincome (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding, increased by the assumed conversion of other potentially dilutive securities during the period.

Potentially dilutive shares were excluded from the diluted loss per share calculation for the quarterssix months ended March 30,June 29, 2007 and March 31,June 30, 2006 because their effects would have been anti-dilutive to the net loss incurred by the Company. Therefore, the amounts reported for basic and diluted net loss per share were the same for those periods. Potentially dilutive securities which were not included in the diluted loss per share calculation for the quarters ended March 30, 2007 and March 31, 2006 include 865,289 and 1,705,212 shares, respectively, of unvested restricted stock units issued to employees and 75,504 and 327,407 shares, respectively, of common stock issuable upon the exercise of stock options following the treasury stock method.

4. Loss from Misappropriation, net of Collections

As described in the Form 8-K filed on November 1, 2006, on or about October 26, 2006, the Company learned of a misappropriation by its former UK disbursement agent in 2006, which relatesrelated to funds earmarked for payroll taxes due to the United Kingdom Inland Revenue. The Company and its former disbursement agent have agreed to settlement terms that, if satisfied, would include the full repayment of the misappropriation. In connection with the settlement, the agent made an initial cash payment to the Company in January 2007 of $350 thousand and has agreed to make additional payments to the Company on or before August 31, 2007 that, when taken together with the initial payment, approximate $2.5$2.6 million (at current foreign currency exchange rates). If the payments are not received by this date, the Company can foreclose certain assets pledged by the agent. The agent has guaranteed to pay any amount by which the initial payment, additional cash payments and the net proceeds from the sale of the pledged assets fall below approximately $2.5$2.6 million (at current foreign currency exchange rates). This shortfall amount would be repaid in annual installments of not less than approximately $0.1 million per year (at current foreign currency exchange rates) beginning in 2007, together with interest thereon accruing from January 1, 2008.

4. Loss from Misappropriation, net of Collections (continued)

The Company cannot predict whether the former disbursement agent will satisfy the terms of the settlement agreement. Due to this uncertainty, any amounts recovered as a result of the Company’s claim will be accounted for as income in the period collected.

5. Restructuring

The Company recorded restructuring costs of $10.9 million and $5.6 million in fiscal years 2002 and 2001, respectively, for reductions in consultants and functional support personnel and for the closure and consolidation of facilities and related exit costs. These actions were taken as a result of the continued decline in demand for technology services throughout 2001 and 2002. The Company took steps to reduce its costs to better align its overall cost structure and organization with anticipated demand for its services.

In 2004 and 2003, the Company recorded restructuring costs of $3.7 million and $4.9 million, respectively, to increase existing reserves to account for potentially higher estimated losses on the sublease of facilities as a result of lower than expected sublease rates and longer than expected time estimates to sublease excess facilities. The 2004 and 2003 restructuring costs consisted of additions of $1.8 million and $3.1 million to the 2002 restructuring accrual and $1.9 million and $1.8 million to the 2001 restructuring accrual, respectively. Also in 2004, the 2002 restructuring accrual was reduced by $370 thousand relating to the final settlement of a lease obligation which was recorded as income from discontinued operations in the consolidated statement of operations for year ended December 31, 2004.

In 2005, the Company recorded restructuring costs of $2.9 million which related to $1.1 million for the consolidation of additional facilities and related exit costs not included in previously established reserves, primarily as a result of the REL Consultancy Group (“REL”) acquisition on November 29, 2005, and $1.8 million for increases in previously established reserves in 2002 and 2001 for the closure and consolidation of facilities, of which $1.1 million is specifically related to the increase of previously established reserves in order to reflect the negotiated buyout of our New York City lease obligation. As a result of the buyout, the Company was fully released from $20.0 million of future lease obligations, assigned two subleases to the lessor, wrote-off a $1.4 million receivable from the lessor, and paid $3.1 million in cash to the lessor. The remaining $700 thousand related to increases in the reserves to account for higher estimated losses on the sublease of facilities as a result of lower than expected sublease rates and longer than expected time estimates to sublease facilities based on current market conditions. The 2005 restructuring costs of $1.8 million related to previously established reserves, which consisted of additions of $1.2 million and $600 thousand to the 2002 and 2001 restructuring accruals, respectively.

In 2006, the Company recorded restructuring costs of $6.3 million, which was comprised of $2.8 million relating to the 2005 restructuring for the consolidation of additional facilities and related exit costs primarily as a result of the REL Consultancy Group (“REL”) acquisition and $3.5 million for increases in previously established reserves in 2002 and 2001 for the closure and consolidation of facilities to account for higher estimated losses on the sublease of facilities as a result of lower than expected sublease rates and longer than expected time estimates to sublease facilities based on current market conditions. Included in the $2.8 million is a further reduction of occupied space in our technology-focused facility in Philadelphia and related severance costs for a senior executive as the Company’s primary business model shifts to a proprietary best practice and intellectual capital and strategic advisory services firm.

8. Income Taxes

Effective December 30, 2006, the Company adopted FIN No. 48,Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes. FIN No. 48 prescribes a more-likely-than-not threshold for financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. This interpretation also provides guidance on derecognition of income tax assets and liabilities, classification of current and deferred income tax assets and liabilities, accounting for interest and penalties associated with tax positions, accounting for income taxes in interim periods and income tax disclosures.

As a result of the implementation of FIN No. 48, the Company performed a comprehensive review of its portfolio of uncertain tax positions in accordance with recognition standards established by FIN No. 48. In this regard, an uncertain tax position represents the Company’s expected treatment of a tax position taken in a filed tax return, or planned to be taken in a future tax return, that has not been reflected in measuring income tax expense for financial reporting purposes. As a result of this review, on December 30, 2006, the Company adjusted the estimated value of its uncertain tax positions by recognizing additional liabilities totaling $481 thousand through a charge to retained earnings, which primarily related to potential state and federal tax exposure. The $481 thousand liability included $311 thousand, which was not expected to be paid within one year, and as such was classified as a non-current liability and was included in the non-current portion of accrued expenses and other liabilities in the consolidated balance sheet as of March 30,June 29, 2007. The amount of unrecognized tax positions did not materially change as of March 30,June 29, 2007 and we dothe Company does not believe there will be any material changes in ourits unrecognized tax positions over the next 12 months.

Penalties and tax-related interest expense are reported as a component of income tax expense. As of December 30, 2006, the total amount of accrued income tax-related interest and penalties was $26 thousand and $237 thousand, respectively. The liability for the payment of interest and penalties did not materially change as of March 30,June 29, 2007.

The Company files federal income tax returns, as well as multiple state, local and foreign jurisdiction tax returns. A number of years may elapse before an uncertain tax position is audited and finally resolved. While it is often difficult to predict the final outcome or the timing of resolution ofon any particular uncertain tax position, we believethe Company believes that ourits reserves for income taxes reflect the most probable outcome. We adjustThe Company adjusts these reserves, as well as the related interest, in light of changing facts and circumstances. The resolution of a matter would be recognized as an adjustment to ourthe provision for income taxes and ourthe effective tax rate in the period of resolution. The Company is no longer subject to examinations of its federal income tax returns by the Internal Revenue Service for years through 2002. All significant state, and local, and foreign matters have been concluded for years through 2002.

The quarter and six month decrease in revenues for the quarter ended March 30, 2007 was attributable to (1) a decline in revenue in theour Best PracticesPractice Solutions group of $7.7$5.1 million and $12.8 million, respectively, primarily due to the exit of our Lawson and low margin SAP and staff augmentation contracts at the end of 2006 and (2)decreased revenue from our Business Intelligence practice.

These decreases weresix month periods. The six month decrease was partially offset by increases related to (1)severance costs of approximately $343 thousand (at current foreign currency exchange rates) and professional fees of $239 thousand incurred in conjunction with the misappropriation of funds of $183 thousand (see discussion below), and (2) severance costs of approximately $337 thousand.funds.

For the quarter and six months ended March 31,June 30, 2006, we recorded income taxes of $365$332 thousand and $697 thousand, respectively, which reflected an estimated annual 7% tax rate for 2006 of 13.5% and 20.4% for certain U.S. federal and state taxes. The 2006 federalincome taxes were related to federal and state taxes for REL’s U.S. entity, as we were unable to utilizewhich could not be offset against our federal net operating loss carryforward to offset REL U.S. income.carryforward.

Effective December 30, 2006, we adopted FIN No. 48,Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes. As a result of the implementation of FIN No. 48, we performed a comprehensive review of our portfolio of uncertain tax positions in accordance with recognition standards established by FIN No. 48. In this regard, an uncertain tax position represents our expected treatment of a tax position taken in a filed tax return, or planned to be taken in a future tax return, that has not been reflected in measuring income tax expense for financial reporting purposes. As a result of this review, on December 30, 2006, we adjusted the estimated value of our uncertain tax positions by recognizing additional liabilities totaling $481 thousand through a charge to retained earnings, which primarily related to potential state and federal tax exposure. The $481 thousand liability included $311 thousand, which was not expected to be paid within one year, and as such was classified as a non-current liability and included in the non-current portion of accrued expenses and other liabilities in the consolidated balance sheet as of March 30,June 29, 2007. The amount of unrecognized tax positions did not materially change as of March 30,June 29, 2007 and we do not believe there will be any material changes in our unrecognized tax positions over the next 12 months.

Penalties and tax-related interest expense are reported as a component of income tax expense. As of December 30, 2006, the total amount of accrued income tax-related interest and penalties was $26 thousand and $237 thousand, respectively. The liability for the payment of interest and penalties did not materially change as of March 30,June 29, 2007.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We have funded our operations primarily with cash flows generated from operations and the proceeds from our initial public offering. At March 30,June 29, 2007, we had $23.6$20.9 million in cash and cash equivalents, compared to $19.6 million at December 29, 2006. At March 30,June 29, 2007 and December 29, 2006, we had $600 thousand on deposit with a financial institution as collateral for letters of credit and have classified these deposits as restricted cash in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

During the quartersix months ended March 30,June 29, 2007, net cash provided by operating activities was primarily attributable to the net collections of accounts receivable and unbilled revenue of $6.3$0.7 million,

which resulted in a decrease in Days Sales Outstanding of 14 days. This15 days and an increase was primarily offset by (1) higher prepaid expenses and other current assets of $546 thousand, mostly related to prepaid insurance, (2) a decrease of $857 thousand in accounts payable due to the timing of trade payables, and (3) a decrease of $542 thousand in accrued expenses and other liabilities, primarily due to a decrease of accrued commissions, bonus and professional fees, which were mostly offset by higher salary accruals.liabilities.

On July 30, 2002, we announced that our Board of Directors approved the repurchase of up to $5.0 million of our common stock. In 2003, 2004 and 2005, our Board of Directors approved the repurchase of an additional $25.0 million of our common stock, thereby increasing the total program size to $30.0 million. Under the repurchase plan, we may buy back shares of our outstanding stock from time to time either on the open market or through privately negotiated transactions, subject to market conditions and trading restrictions.

We may decide to raise additional funds in order to fund expansion, to develop new or enhancedfurther enhance products and services, to respond to competitive pressures, or to acquire complementary businesses or technologies. There is no assurance, however, that additional financing will be available when needed or desired.

 

Item 3.Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

At March 30,June 29, 2007, our exposure to market risk related primarily to changes in interest rates on our investment portfolio. Our marketable investments consist primarily of short-term fixed interest rate securities. We invest only with high credit quality issuers and we do not use derivative financial instruments in our investment portfolio. We do not believe that a significant increase or decrease in interest rates would have a material impact on the fair value of our investment portfolio.

Exchange Rate Sensitivity

We face exposure to adverse movements in foreign currency exchange rates, as a portion of our revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities are denominated in currencies other than the U.S. Dollar, primarily the British pound and the euro. These exposures may change over time as business practices evolve. Currently, we do not hold any derivativesderivative contracts that hedge our foreign currency risk, but we may adopt such strategies in the future.

 

Item 4.Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As of the end of the period covered by this report, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (“Disclosure Controls”) pursuant to Rule 13a-14(c) and Rule 15d-14(c) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Based upon that evaluation, the CEO and CFO concluded that our Disclosure Controls are effective in timely alerting them to material information required to be included in our periodic SEC filings.

Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls

Our management, including our CEO and CFO, does not expect that our Disclosure Controls and internal controls will prevent all error and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the control.

Changes in Internal Controls

There were no changes in our internal controlcontrols over financial reporting that occurred during the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controlcontrols over financial reporting.
