SS&C TECHNOLOGIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(unaudited)
1. Basis of Presentation
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These accounting principles
were applied on a basis consistent with those of the audited consolidated financial
statements contained in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 2008, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. In the opinion of
the Company, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements
contain all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring adjustments, except as noted
elsewhere in the notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements) necessary to
state fairly its financial position as of March 31, 2009, the results of its operations
for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008 and its cash flows for the three months
ended March 31, 2009 and 2008. These statements do not include all of the information and
footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for annual financial
statements. The financial statements contained herein should be read in conjunction with
the audited consolidated financial statements and footnotes as of and for the year ended
December 31, 2008 which were included in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K. The
December 31, 2008 consolidated balance sheet data were derived from audited financial
statements, but do not include all disclosures required by generally accepted accounting
principles for annual financial statements. The results of operations for the three months
ended March 31, 2009 are not necessarily indicative of the expected results for the full
year.
2. The Transaction
SS&C Technologies, Inc. (the Company or SS&C) was acquired on November 23, 2005
through a merger transaction with SS&C Technologies Holdings, Inc. (Holdings), a
Delaware corporation formed by investment funds associated with The Carlyle Group and
formerly known as Sunshine Acquisition Corporation. The acquisition was accomplished
through the merger of Sunshine Merger Corporation into the Company, with the Company being
the surviving company and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Holdings (the Transaction).
3. Equity and Stock-based Compensation
In April 2008, the Board of Directors of Holdings approved a 7.5-for-1 stock split of the
common stock of Holdings to be effected in the form of a stock dividend, effective as of
April 23, 2008. In January 2009, the Board of Directors of Holdings approved a 1-for-7.5
reverse stock split of the common stock of Holdings to be effected in the form of a stock
dividend, effectively reversing the April 2008 forward split. All share data in this Form
10-Q have been retroactively revised to reflect the reverse stock split.
In February 2009, the Board of Directors of Holdings approved the immediate vesting of the
2006, 2007 and 2008 performance-based options that did not otherwise vest during 2006,
2007 or 2008 and established the Companys annual EBITDA target range for 2009. As of that
date, the Company estimated the weighted-average fair value of the performance-based
options that were vested by the Board and those that vest upon the attainment of the 2009
EBITDA target range to be $31.00. In estimating the common stock value, the Company valued
the Company using the income approach and the guideline company method. The Company used
the following weighted-average assumptions to estimate the option value: expected term to
exercise of 2.5 years; expected volatility of 38.0%; risk-free interest rate of 1.2%; and
no dividend yield. Expected volatility is based on the historical volatility of the
Companys peer group. Expected term to exercise is based on the Companys historical stock
option exercise experience, adjusted for the Transaction.
During the three months ended March 31, 2009, the
Company recorded total stock-based compensation expense of $1.3
million, of which $0.1 million related to the performance-based options that were immediately vested by the
Board of Directors of Holdings and $0.3 million related to the performance-based options based upon managements assessment
of the probability that the Companys EBITDA for 2009 will fall within the targeted range.
The annual EBITDA targets for 2010 and 2011 will be determined by the Board of Directors
of Holdings at the beginning of each respective year. Time-based options represented the remaining $0.9 million
of compensation expense recorded during the three months ended March 31, 2009.
6
During the three months ended March 31, 2008, the
Company recorded total stock-based compensation expense of $1.3
million, of which $0.4 million related to the performance-based options based upon managements assessment
of the probability that the Companys EBITDA for
2008 would fall within the targeted range and $0.9 million related to time-based options.
The amount of stock-based compensation expense recognized in the Companys condensed
consolidated statements of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008
was as follows (in thousands):

4. Comprehensive Income (Loss)
SFAS No. 130, Reporting Comprehensive Income, requires that items defined as
comprehensive income, such as foreign currency translation adjustments and unrealized

6. Derivatives and Hedging Activities
In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and
Hedging Activities, an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133 (SFAS 161). SFAS 161 requires
entities to provide enhanced disclosure about how and why the entity uses derivative
instruments, how the instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under SFAS No.
133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, (SFAS 133) and how
the instruments and related hedged items affect the financial position, results of
operations, and cash flows of the entity. The Company adopted SFAS 161 during the quarter
ended March 31, 2009.
The Company uses interest rate swap agreements to manage the floating rate portion of its
debt portfolio and follows the provisions of SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities, as amended (SFAS 133). SFAS 133 requires that all
derivative instruments be recorded on the balance sheet at fair
value.
The gains and losses on the Companys derivative instrument during the three months ended March
31, 2009 were as follows (in thousands):

The market
value of the swaps recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (AOCI) may be recognized in the
statement of operations if certain terms of the senior credit facility change, if the loan
is extinguished or if the swaps agreements are terminated prior to maturity. As of March
31, 2009, the notional value of the Companys receive-variable/pay-fixed interest rate
swap was $100 million.
On January 1, 2008, the Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 157, Fair Value
Measurements (SFAS 157), with respect to the valuation of its interest rate swap
agreements. The Company did not adopt the provisions of SFAS No. 157 as they relate to
nonfinancial assets pursuant to FSP FAS 157-2, Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157.
The major categories of assets that are measured at fair value for which the Company has
not applied the provisions of SFAS 157 include the measurement of fair value in the
first step of a goodwill impairment test under SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other
Intangible Assets. SFAS No. 157 clarifies how companies are required to use a fair value
measure for recognition and disclosure by establishing a common definition of fair value,
a framework for measuring fair value, and expanding disclosures about fair value
measurements. The adoption of SFAS 157 did not have a material impact on the Companys
results of operations or financial position. In October 2008, the FASB issued FSP FAS
157-3 Determining the Fair Value of a Financial Asset When the Market for That Asset is
Not Active (FSP FAS 157-3), which is effective upon issuance for all financial
statements that have not been issued. FSP FAS 157-3 clarifies the application of SFAS 157
in a market that is not active. The Company has adopted FSP FAS 157-3 effective with this
filing. FSP FAS 157-3 does not have a material impact on the Companys financial position,
financial performance or cash flows.
SFAS No. 157 establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the
inputs used in measuring fair value. These tiers include: Level 1, defined as observable
inputs such as quoted prices in active markets; Level 2, defined as inputs other than
quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable; and
Level 3, defined as unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists,
therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions.
The Company determines the fair value of its interest rate swaps based on the amount at
which it could be settled, which is referred to in SFAS No. 157 as the exit price. This
price is based upon observable market assumptions and appropriate valuation adjustments
for credit risk. The Company has categorized its interest rate swaps as Level 2 under SFAS
No. 157. The fair value of the Companys remaining interest rate swap was a liability of
$6.1 million and $6.6 million at March 31, 2009 and
December 31, 2008, respectively. Of these amounts, $3.1 million
and $3.3 million, respectively, is included in other accrued
expenses and $3.0 million and $3.3 million, respectively, is
included in other long-term liabilities.
7. Commitments and Contingencies
From time to time, the Company is subject to legal proceedings and claims that arise in
the normal course of its business. In the opinion of management, the Company is not
involved in any such litigation or proceedings by third parties that management believes
could have a material adverse effect on the Company or its business.
8. Acquisitions
On March 20, 2009, the Company purchased substantially all the assets of Evare, LLC
(Evare), for approximately $3.5 million in cash, plus the costs of effecting the
transaction, and the assumption of certain liabilities. Evare is a managed utility service
provider for financial data acquisition, enrichment, transformation and delivery.
8
The net assets and results of operations of Evare have been included in the Companys
consolidated financial statements from March 21, 2009. The purchase price was allocated to
tangible and intangible assets based on their fair value at the date of acquisition. The
fair value of the intangible assets, consisting of trade name and client relationships and
client contracts, was determined using the income approach. Specifically, the
relief-from-royalty method was utilized for the trade name and the discounted cash flows
method was utilized for the contractual relationships. The intangible assets are amortized
each year based on the ratio that current cash flows for the intangible asset bear to the
total of current and expected future cash flows for the intangible asset. The trade name
is amortized over approximately seven years, and the contractual relationships are
amortized over approximately four years, the estimated lives of the assets. The remainder
of the purchase price was allocated to goodwill.
The following summarizes the preliminary allocation of the purchase price for the
acquisition of Evare (in thousands):

12. Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1. This FSP amends SFAS No. 107,
Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments, to require disclosures about fair
value of financial instruments not measured on the balance sheet at fair value in interim
financial statements as well as in annual financial statements. Prior to this FSP, fair
values for these assets and liabilities were only disclosed annually. This FSP applies to
all financial instruments within the scope of SFAS 107 and requires all entities to
disclose the method(s) and significant assumptions used to estimate the fair value of
financial instruments. This FSP shall be effective for interim periods ending after June
15, 2009, with early adoption permitted for periods ending after March 15, 2009. An entity
may early adopt this FSP only if it also elects to early adopt FSP FAS 157-4 and FSP FAS
115-2 and FAS 124-2. This FSP does not require disclosures for earlier periods presented
for comparative purposes at initial adoption. In periods after initial adoption, this FSP
requires comparative disclosures only for periods ending after initial adoption. The
Company is currently evaluating the disclosure requirements of this new FSP.

Operations
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Certain of our accounting policies require the application of significant judgment by our
management, and such judgments are reflected in the amounts reported in our consolidated
financial statements. In applying these policies, our management uses its judgment to
determine the appropriate assumptions to be used in the determination of estimates. Those
estimates are based on our historical experience, terms of existing contracts, managements
observation of trends in the industry, information provided by our clients and information
available from other outside sources, as appropriate. Actual results may differ significantly
from the estimates contained in our consolidated financial statements. There have been no
material changes to our critical accounting estimates and assumptions or the judgments
affecting the application of those estimates and assumptions since the filing of our Annual
Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008. Our critical accounting policies are

Revenues
Our revenues consist primarily of software-enabled services and maintenance revenues, and,
to a lesser degree, software license and professional services revenues. As a general
matter, our software license and professional services revenues tend to fluctuate based on
the number of new licensing clients, while fluctuations in our software-enabled services
revenues are attributable to the number of new software-enabled services clients as well
as the number of outsourced transactions
15
provided to our existing clients and total assets under management in our clients
portfolios. Maintenance revenues vary based on the rate by which we add or lose
maintenance clients over time and, to a lesser extent, on the annual increases in
maintenance fees, which are generally tied to the consumer price index.
Revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2009 were $63.7 million, decreasing 7% from
$68.5 million in the same period in 2008. The decrease in revenues in the three months
ended March 31, 2009 includes the unfavorable impact from foreign currency translation of
$4.2 million resulting from the strength of the U.S. dollar relative to currencies such as
the Canadian dollar, the British pound, the Australian dollar and the euro. This impact was partially offset by revenues from products and services that we
acquired through our acquisitions of MDS in October 2008 and Evare in March 2009, which
added $2.0 million in the aggregate. Excluding these items, revenues for businesses and products that we have owned
for at least 12 months, or organic revenues, decreased 3.8%. Contributing
to this decrease was a decline of $3.3 million in our software-enabled services revenues.
Maintenance revenues, software license revenues and professional services revenues
decreased $1.4 million, $1.3 million and $0.8 million, respectively.
Software Licenses. Software license revenues were $5.8 million and $6.7 million for the
three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. Revenues of $0.4 million from
acquisitions partially offset a decrease of $1.3 million in organic software license
revenues. Software license revenues will vary depending on the timing, size and nature of
our license transactions. For example, the average size of our software license
transactions and the number of large transactions may fluctuate on a period-to-period
basis. For the three months ended March 31, 2009, the average size of perpetual license
transactions increased from those for the three months ended March 31, 2008, however the
number of transactions was fewer. Revenues from term licenses increased approximately 5%
from the prior year period. Additionally, software license revenues will vary among the
various products that we offer, due to differences such as the timing of new releases and
variances in economic conditions affecting opportunities in the vertical markets served by
such products.
Maintenance. Maintenance revenues were $15.5 million and $16.4 million for the three
months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. Organic maintenance revenues decreased
$1.4 million, partially due to the unfavorable impact of foreign
currency translation. Additionally, client maintenance renewals and annual maintenance fee increases, which
are generally tied to the percentage change in the consumer price index, were not as
favorable as they have been historically. These decreases were partially offset by
acquisitions, which contributed $0.5 million. We typically provide maintenance services
under one-year renewable contracts that provide for an annual increase in fees. Future
maintenance revenue growth is dependent on our ability to retain existing clients, add new
license clients, and increase average maintenance fees.
Professional Services. Professional services revenues were $5.2 million and $5.3 million
for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. Revenues of $0.7 million
from acquisitions partially offset a decrease of $0.8 million in organic professional
services revenues. The decrease of $0.8 million was primarily due to one significant
professional services project that commenced during the first quarter of 2008 and was
completed during 2008. Our overall software license revenue levels and market demand for
professional services will continue to have an effect on our professional services
revenues.
Software-Enabled Services. Software-enabled services revenues were $37.2 million and $40.2
million for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. Organic
software-enabled services revenues decreased $3.3 million as our clients experienced the
impact of the economic downturn, their assets under management declined and redemptions
exceeded in-flows at money managers and hedge funds. The unfavorable impact of foreign currency translation also contributed to the decrease. These decreases were partially offset by
our March 2009 acquisition of Evare, which added $0.3 million. Future software-enabled
services revenue growth is dependent on our ability to retain existing clients, add new
clients and increase average fees.
Cost of Revenues
The total
cost of revenues was $33.1 million and $34.9 million for the three months ended
March 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. The gross margin was 48% for the three months ended
March 31, 2009 compared to 49% for the comparable period in 2008. Primarily as a result
of our workforce reduction in the fourth quarter of 2008, we reduced our costs of revenues by $2.3 million, mainly in cost of software-enabled services revenues, as we aligned our costs with the anticipated decline in revenues.
Amortization expense decreased by $0.4 million, as a lower percentage of current revenues
was deemed associated with technology that existed at the date of the Transaction. These
cost reductions were partially offset by our acquisitions, which added costs of $0.9
million.
16
Cost of Software Licenses. Cost of software license revenues consists primarily of
amortization expense of completed technology, royalties, third-party software, and the
costs of product media, packaging and documentation. The cost of software licenses was
$2.0 million and $2.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008,
respectively. The decrease in cost of software license revenues was primarily due to a
decrease in amortization expense, as a lower percentage of current license revenues was
deemed associated with technology that existed at the date of the Transaction. Cost of
software license revenues as a percentage of such revenues was 35% for both the 2009 and
2008 periods.
Cost of Maintenance. Cost of maintenance revenues consists primarily of technical client
support, costs associated with the distribution of products and regulatory updates and
amortization of intangible assets. The cost of maintenance revenues was $6.5 million and
$6.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. The
decrease in costs was due to reductions of $0.2 million, primarily personnel-related, partially offset by acquisitions, which added $0.1
million in costs. Cost of maintenance revenues as a percentage of these revenues was 42%
for the three months ended March 31, 2009 compared to 40% for the three months ended March
31, 2008.
Cost of Professional Services. Cost of professional services revenues consists primarily
of the cost related to personnel utilized to provide implementation, conversion and
training services to our software licensees, as well as system integration, custom
programming and actuarial consulting services. The cost of professional services revenues
was $4.0 million and $3.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008,
respectively. Our acquisitions added $0.7 million in costs, partially offset by a
reduction of $0.3 million in costs.
Cost of Software-Enabled Services. Cost of software-enabled services revenues consists
primarily of the cost related to personnel utilized in servicing our software-enabled
services clients and amortization of intangible assets. The cost of software-enabled
services revenues was $20.6 million and $22.4 million for the three months ended March 31,
2009 and 2008, respectively. Primarily as a result of our workforce reduction in the
fourth quarter of 2008, we reduced our costs by $1.7 million.
Additionally, amortization of intangible assets decreased by $0.2 million. These decreases
were partially offset by our acquisitions, which added $0.1 million in costs.
Operating Expenses
Total
operating expenses were $16.2 million and $17.8 million for the three months ended
March 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. The decrease in total operating expenses was
primarily due to a reduction of $2.2 million in costs, as we reduced spending in
anticipation of the decrease in organic revenues. Our acquisitions of MDS and Evare added
$0.4 million in costs, and amortization expense increased by $0.2 million. Total operating
expenses as a percentage of total revenues decreased to 25% for the three months ended
March 31, 2009 from 26% for the three months ended March 31, 2008.
Selling and Marketing. Selling and marketing expenses consist primarily of the personnel
costs associated with the selling and marketing of our products, including salaries,
commissions and travel and entertainment. Such expenses also include amortization of
intangible assets, the cost of branch sales offices, trade shows and marketing and
promotional materials. Selling and marketing expenses were $5.2 million and $5.0 million
for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively, representing 8% and 7%
of total revenues in those periods, respectively. The increase in selling and marketing
expenses was primarily due to an increase of $0.2 million in amortization expense.
Additionally, a reduction of $0.3 million in costs was offset by our acquisitions,
which added $0.3 million in costs.
Research and Development. Research and development expenses consist primarily of
personnel costs attributable to the enhancement of existing products and the development
of new software products. Research and development expenses were $5.9 million and $7.0
million for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively, representing 9%
and 10% of total revenues in those periods, respectively. A decrease of $1.2 million in
costs was partially offset by our acquisitions, which added
$0.1 million in costs.
General and Administrative. General and administrative expenses consist primarily of
personnel costs related to management, accounting and finance, information management,
human resources and administration and associated overhead costs, as well as fees for
professional services. General and administrative expenses were $5.1 million and $5.8
million for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively, representing 8%
of total revenues in each of those periods. The decrease in general and administrative
expenses was primarily related to a reduction of $0.7 million
in costs, primarily personnel-related and information technology
costs.
17
Interest Expense. Net interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008
was $9.4 million and $10.4 million, respectively, and primarily related to interest
expense on debt outstanding under our senior credit facility and 11 3/4% senior subordinated
notes due 2013. The decrease in interest expense is due to a decrease in outstanding debt
and lower average interest rates for the period.
Other Income, Net. Other income, net for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008
consists primarily of foreign currency gains.
Provision for Income Taxes. We had effective tax rates of 31.4% and 33.5% for the three
months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. The effective tax rate for the balance
of the year is expected to be between 30% and 35%.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our principal cash requirements are to finance the costs of our operations pending the
billing and collection of client receivables, to fund payments with respect to our
indebtedness, to invest in research and development and to acquire complementary
businesses or assets. We expect our cash on hand, cash flows from operations and
availability under the revolving credit portion of our senior credit facilities to provide
sufficient liquidity to fund our current obligations, projected working capital
requirements and capital spending for at least the next twelve months.
Our cash and cash equivalents at March 31, 2009 were $35.5 million, an increase of $6.2
million from $29.3 million at December 31, 2008. Cash provided by operations was partially
offset by net repayments of debt, cash used for an acquisition and capital expenditures.
Net cash provided by operating activities was $11.0 million for the three months ended
March 31, 2009. Cash provided by operating activities was primarily due to net income of
$3.9 million adjusted for non-cash items of $8.7 million partally offset by changes in our
working capital accounts totaling $1.6 million. The changes in our working capital
accounts were driven by an increase in accounts receivable, and decreases in accrued
expenses and income taxes payable, partially offset by an increase in deferred revenues.
The increase in deferred revenues was primarily due to the collection of annual
maintenance fees. The increase in accounts receivable was primarily due to an increase in
days sales outstanding. The decrease in accrued expenses was primarily due to the payment
of annual employee bonuses, offset in part by an increase in interest payable related to
our notes.
Investing activities used net cash of $3.7 million for the three months ended March 31,
2009, primarily related to the $3.5 million cash paid for our acquisition of Evare, LLC.
Financing activities used net cash of $0.7 million for the three months ended March 31,
2009, representing net repayments of debt under our senior credit facilities and the
repurchase of Holdings common stock in connection with stock option exercises.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a
current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition,
revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital
resources that is material to investors.
Senior Credit Facilities
Our borrowings under the senior credit facilities bear interest at either a floating base
rate or a Eurocurrency rate plus, in each case, an applicable margin. In addition, we pay
a commitment fee in respect of unused revolving commitments at a rate that will be
adjusted based on our leverage ratio. We are obligated to make quarterly principal
payments on the term loan totaling $2.1 million per year. Subject to certain exceptions,
thresholds and other limitations, we are required to prepay outstanding loans under the
senior credit facilities with the net proceeds of certain asset dispositions and certain
debt issuances and 50% of our excess cash flow (as defined in the agreements governing our
senior credit facilities), which percentage will be reduced based on our reaching certain
leverage ratio thresholds.
The obligations under our senior credit facilities are guaranteed by Holdings and all of
our existing and future material wholly-owned U.S. subsidiaries, with certain exceptions
as set forth in our credit agreement. The obligations of the Canadian borrower are
guaranteed by Holdings, us and each of our U.S. and Canadian subsidiaries, with certain
exceptions
18
as set forth in the credit agreement. The obligations under the senior credit facilities
are secured by a perfected first priority security interest in all of our capital stock
and all of the capital stock or other equity interests held by Holdings, us and each of
our existing and future U.S. subsidiary guarantors (subject to certain limitations for
equity interests of foreign subsidiaries and other exceptions as set forth in our credit
agreement) and all of Holdings and our tangible and intangible assets and the tangible
and intangible assets of each of our existing and future U.S. subsidiary guarantors, with
certain exceptions as set forth in the credit agreement. The Canadian borrowers
borrowings under the senior credit facilities and all guarantees thereof are secured by a
perfected first priority security interest in all of our capital stock and all of the
capital stock or other equity interests held by Holdings, us and each of our existing and
future U.S. and Canadian subsidiary guarantors, with certain exceptions as set forth in
the credit agreement, and all of Holdings and our tangible and intangible assets and the
tangible and intangible assets of each of our existing and future U.S. and Canadian
subsidiary guarantors, with certain exceptions as set forth in the credit agreement.
The senior credit facilities contain a number of covenants that, among other things,
restrict, subject to certain exceptions, our (and our restricted subsidiaries) ability to
incur additional indebtedness, pay dividends and distributions on capital stock, create
liens on assets, enter into sale and lease-back transactions, repay subordinated
indebtedness, make capital expenditures, engage in certain transactions with affiliates,
dispose of assets and engage in mergers or acquisitions. In addition, under the senior
credit facilities, we are required to satisfy and maintain a maximum total leverage ratio
and a minimum interest coverage ratio. We were in compliance with all covenants at March
31, 2009.
11 3/4% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2013
The 11 3/4% senior subordinated notes due 2013 are unsecured senior subordinated obligations
that are subordinated in right of payment to all existing and future senior debt,
including the senior credit facilities. The senior subordinated notes will be pari passu
in right of payment to all future senior subordinated debt.
The senior subordinated notes are redeemable in whole or in part, at our option, at any
time at varying redemption prices that generally include premiums, which are defined in
the indenture. In addition, upon a change of control, we are required to make an offer to
redeem all of the senior subordinated notes at a redemption price equal to 101% of the
aggregate principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest.
The indenture governing the senior subordinated notes contains a number of covenants that
restrict, subject to certain exceptions, our ability and the ability of our restricted
subsidiaries to incur additional indebtedness, pay dividends, make certain investments,
create liens, dispose of certain assets and engage in mergers or acquisitions.
Covenant Compliance
Under the senior credit facilities, we are required to satisfy and maintain specified
financial ratios and other financial condition tests. As of March 31, 2009, we were in
compliance with the financial and non-financial covenants. Our continued ability to meet these
financial ratios and tests can be affected by events beyond our control, and we cannot assure
you that we will meet these ratios and tests. A breach of any of these covenants could result
in a default under the senior credit facilities. Upon the occurrence of any event of default
under the senior credit facilities, the lenders could elect to declare all amounts outstanding
under the senior credit facilities to be immediately due and payable and terminate all
commitments to extend further credit.
Consolidated EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure used in key financial covenants contained
in our senior credit facilities, which are material facilities supporting our capital
structure and providing liquidity to our business. Consolidated EBITDA is defined as earnings
before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA), further adjusted to exclude
unusual items and other adjustments permitted in calculating covenant compliance under our
senior credit facilities. We believe that the inclusion of supplementary adjustments to EBITDA
applied in presenting Consolidated EBITDA is appropriate to provide additional information to
investors to demonstrate compliance with the specified financial ratios and other financial
condition tests contained in our senior credit facilities.
Management uses Consolidated EBITDA to gauge the costs of our capital structure on a
day-to-day basis when full financial statements are unavailable. Management further believes
that providing this information allows our investors greater transparency and a better
understanding of our ability to meet our debt service obligations and make capital
expenditures.
The breach of covenants in our senior credit facilities that are tied to ratios based on
Consolidated EBITDA could result in a default under that agreement, in which case the lenders
could elect to declare all amounts borrowed due and payable and to terminate any commitments
they have to provide further borrowings. Any such acceleration would also result in a default
under
19
our indenture. Any default and subsequent acceleration of payments under our debt agreements
would have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial position and cash
flows. Additionally, under our debt agreements, our ability to engage in activities such as
incurring additional indebtedness, making investments and paying dividends is also tied to
ratios based on Consolidated EBITDA.
Consolidated EBITDA does not represent net income or cash flow from operations as those terms
are defined by GAAP and does not necessarily indicate whether cash flows will be sufficient to
fund cash needs. Further, our senior credit facilities require that Consolidated EBITDA be
calculated for the most recent four fiscal quarters. As a result, the measure can be
disproportionately affected by a particularly strong or weak quarter. Further, it may not be
comparable to the measure for any subsequent four-quarter period or any complete fiscal year.
Consolidated EBITDA is not a recognized measurement under GAAP, and investors should not
consider Consolidated EBITDA as a substitute for measures of our financial performance and
liquidity as determined in accordance with GAAP, such as net income, operating income or net
cash provided by operating activities. Because other companies may calculate Consolidated
EBITDA differently than we do, Consolidated EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled
measures reported by other companies. Consolidated EBITDA has other limitations as an
analytical tool, when compared to the use of net income (loss), which is the most directly
comparable GAAP financial measure, including:
|
|
|
Consolidated EBITDA does not reflect the provision of income tax expense in
our various jurisdictions; |
|
|
|
|
Consolidated EBITDA does not reflect the significant interest expense we
incur as a result of our debt leverage; |
|
|
|
|
Consolidated EBITDA does not reflect any attribution of costs to our
operations related to our investments and capital expenditures through
depreciation and amortization charges; |
|
|
|
|
Consolidated EBITDA does not reflect the cost of compensation we provide to
our employees in the form of stock option awards; and |
|
|
|
|
Consolidated EBITDA excludes expenses that we believe are unusual or
non-recurring, but which others may believe are normal expenses for the
operation of a business. |
The following is a reconciliation of net income to Consolidated EBITDA as defined in our
senior credit facilities.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1. This FSP amends SFAS No. 107,
Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments, to require disclosures about fair
value of financial instruments not measured on the balance sheet at fair value in interim
financial statements as well as in annual financial statements. Prior to this FSP, fair
values for these assets and liabilities were only disclosed annually. This FSP applies to
all financial instruments within the scope of SFAS 107 and requires all entities to
disclose the method(s) and significant assumptions used to estimate the fair value of
financial instruments. This FSP shall be effective for interim periods ending after June
15, 2009, with early adoption permitted for periods ending after March 15, 2009. An entity
may early adopt this FSP only if it also elects to early adopt FSP FAS 157-4 and FSP FAS
115-2 and FAS 124-2. This FSP does not require disclosures for earlier periods presented
for comparative purposes at initial adoption. In periods after initial adoption, this FSP
requires comparative disclosures only for periods ending after initial adoption. We are
currently evaluating the disclosure requirements of this new FSP.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
We do not use derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes. We
have invested our available cash in short-term, highly liquid financial instruments,
having initial maturities of three months or less. When necessary we have borrowed to fund
acquisitions.
At March 31, 2009, excluding capital leases, we had total debt of $407.1 million, including $202.1 million of
variable interest rate debt. We have entered into an interest rate swap agreement having a
notional value of $100 million that effectively fixes our interest rate at 6.78% and
expires in December 2010. During the period when this swap agreement is effective, a 1%
change in interest rates would result in a change in interest expense of approximately
$1.0 million per year. Upon the expiration of the interest rate swap agreement in December
2010, a 1% change in interest rates would result in a change in interest expense of
approximately $2.0 million per year.
At March 31, 2009, $35.2 million of our debt was denominated in Canadian dollars. We
expect that our foreign denominated debt will be serviced through our Canadian operations.
During 2008, approximately 39% of our revenues were from clients located outside the
United States. A portion of the revenues from clients located outside the United States is
denominated in foreign currencies, the majority being the Canadian dollar. Revenues and
expenses of our foreign operations are denominated in their respective local currencies.
We continue to monitor our exposure to foreign exchange rates as a result of our foreign
currency denominated debt, our acquisitions and changes in our operations.
The foregoing risk management discussion and the effect thereof are forward-looking
statements. Actual results in the future may differ materially from these projected
results due to actual developments in global financial markets. The analytical methods
used by us to assess and minimize risk discussed above should not be considered
projections of future events or losses.
Item 4T. Controls and Procedures
Our management, with the participation of our chief executive officer and chief financial
officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of March
31, 2009. The term disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e)
and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, means controls and other
procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be
disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is
recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the
SECs rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation,
controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a
company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and
communicated to the companys management, including its principal executive and principal
financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required
disclosure. Management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well
designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives
and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit
relationship of possible controls and procedures. Based on the evaluation of our
disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2009, our chief executive officer and
chief financial officer concluded that, as of such date, our disclosure controls and
procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level.
There have not been any changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as
defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during the
quarter ended March 31, 2009, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to
materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
