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.

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 January 3, 2003 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 July 4, 2003 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for any future period or for the full fiscal year.

2. Pro Forma Impact of Employee Stock Option Plans

In December 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 148, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation – Transition and Disclosure. SFAS No. 148 amends Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, Stock-Based Compensation, to provide alternative methods of transition for a voluntary change to the fair value based method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation. In addition, SFAS No. 148 amends the disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 123 to require prominent disclosures in both annual and interim financial statements about the method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation and the effect of the method used in reported results. The disclosure provisions of SFAS No. 148 are effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2002.

The Company continues to apply Accounting Principles Board (“APB”) Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees and related interpretations in accounting for its stock option plans and has not adopted the recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123, as amended by SFAS No. 148. The Company measures compensation expense related to the grant of stock options and stock-based awards to employees (including independent directors) in accordance with the provisions of APB Opinion No. 25. In accordance with APB Opinion No. 25, compensation expense, if any, is generally based on the difference between the exercise price of an option, or the amount paid for an award, and the market price or fair value of the underlying common stock at the date of the award or at the measurement date for variable awards. Stock-based compensation arrangements involving non-employees are accounted for under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, under which such arrangements are accounted for based on the fair value of the option or award.

2. Pro Forma Impact of Employee Stock Options Plans (continued)

Under SFAS No. 123, compensation cost for the Company’s stock-based compensation plans would be determined based on the fair value at the grant dates for awards under those plans. Had the Company adopted SFAS No. 123 in accounting for its stock option plans, the Company’s consolidated net loss and net loss per share for the quarters and six months ended July 4, 2003 and June 28, 2002 would have been adjusted to the pro forma amounts indicated as follows (in thousands, except per share data):

3. Net Income (Loss) Per Common Share

Basic net income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. With regard to common shares issued to employees under employment agreements, the calculation includes only the vested portion of such shares.

Income (loss) per common share assuming dilution is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding, increased by the assumed conversion of other potentially dilutive securities during the period. For the quarter and six months ended July 4, 2003, potentially dilutive securities of 76,086 and 128,547 shares, respectively, of unvested common stock issued under employment agreements and 60,891 and 99,360 shares, respectively, of common stock issuable upon the exercise of stock options and warrants assuming the treasury stock method were excluded from the diluted loss per share calculation because their effects would have been anti-dilutive to the loss incurred by the Company. Therefore, the amounts reported for basic and diluted net loss per share for the quarter were the same. For the quarter and six months ended June 28, 2002, potentially dilutive securities included 352,822 and 471,197 shares, respectively, of unvested common stock issued under employment agreements and 440,749 and 597,076 shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of stock options and warrants assuming the treasury stock method.

4. Restructuring Accrual

The Company recorded restructuring costs of $4.9 million, $10.9 million and $5.6 million in fiscal years 2003, 2002 and 2001, respectively, for reductions in consultants and functional support personnel and for 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 2003, existing reserves were increased 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 following table sets forth the detail and activity in the restructuring expense accrual during the six months ended July 4, 2003 (in thousands):

2001 Restructuring Accrual

2002 Restructuring Accrual

5. Discontinued Operations

As a result of a decline in the demand for interactive marketing services, during 2002 the Company discontinued the interactive marketing business which was acquired in the merger with THINK New Ideas, Inc. in 1999. In accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, the results of the interactive marketing business have been reported as discontinued operations in the consolidated statements of operations and results for prior periods have been restated.

The following table sets forth revenues, pre-tax loss, income tax benefit and loss from discontinued operations for the quarter and six months ended June 28, 2002 (in thousands):

6. Income Taxes

The Company recorded $150,000 of income tax expense for state and foreign taxes for the first six months of 2003. The Company did not recognize an income tax benefit for federal and state taxes for the first six months of 2003 due to the establishment of a valuation allowance for the tax benefit generated on losses in the first six months. The Company’s tax benefit for the first six months of 2002 was 40% of its pre-tax loss from both continuing and discontinued operations. The full amount of this tax benefit has been reflected within continuing operations, consistent with the tax benefit presented in the Company’s consolidated statement of operations for the year ended January 3, 2003.

In 2002, the Company discontinued its interactive marketing business which was acquired with THINK New Ideas. The discontinuance of THINK New Ideas generated an approximate $75.0 million worthless stock deduction for the Company’s investment in THINK New Ideas in its 2002 tax return. Although the Company believes that its tax position is sustainable there is no assurance that the Internal Revenue Service will not challenge its conclusion.

7. Shareholders’ Equity

On June 11, 2003, the Company commenced two tender offer programs involving voluntary stock option exchanges for the Company’s employees. The offering periods for the two stock option exchange programs ended on July 14, 2003.

One program was offered to employees at a Director level or below. Under this exchange program, employees holding nonqualified or incentive stock options to purchase the Company’s common stock with an exercise price of $4.50 or more were given the opportunity to exchange their existing options for new options to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock equal to an amount depending on the exercise price of the surrendered options. The new options will not be granted until at least six months and one day after acceptance of the surrendered options for exchange and cancellation. On July 14, 2003, the Company accepted for cancellation options to purchase 521,991 shares of the Company’s common stock and will issue new options to purchase 187,513 shares of the Company’s common stock in exchange for the options surrendered, assuming that all program participants are employed on the date that the new options are granted. The new options will vest over a two-year period from the date of grant. The exercise price of the new options will be the last reported sale price of the Company’s common stock on the Nasdaq Stock Market’s National Market on their grant date.

The other program was offered to employees at a Senior Director level or above who had been with the Company since July 4, 2002. Under this exchange program, employees holding nonqualified options to purchase the Company’s common stock with an exercise price of $2.80 or more were given the opportunity to exchange their existing options for restricted stock units which were granted on a one-to-one ratio and are subject to a new four-year vesting schedule. On July 14, 2003, the Company accepted for cancellation options to purchase 3,826,561 shares of the Company’s common stock and issued 3,826,561 restricted stock units in exchange for the options surrendered. The issuance of these restricted stock units is expected to result in approximately $600,000 of non-cash compensation expense per quarter over the next four years.

In July 2002, the Company announced that its Board of Directors approved the repurchase of up to $5.0 million of Answerthink’s common stock. During the second quarter of 2003, the Board of Directors approved the repurchase of an additional $5.0 million of Answerthink’s common stock. Under the repurchase plans, Answerthink may buy back shares of its outstanding stock from time to time either on the open market or through privately negotiated transactions, subject to market conditions and trading restrictions. As of July 4, 2003, the Company had repurchased 3,093,079 shares of its common stock at an average price of $2.10 per share. The amount of shares repurchased to date includes 465,120 shares purchased from the Company’s President, who is also a director, at $2.15 per share. The Company holds repurchased shares of its common stock as treasury stock and accounts for treasury stock under the cost method.

8. Litigation

Between November 2002 and January 2003, six class actions seeking unspecified damages were filed against Answerthink and certain of its current and former officers and directors alleging violations of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934. The complaints allege misstatements and omissions concerning, among other things, related party transactions during the alleged class period of February 8, 2000 to April 25, 2002. On January 7, 2003 the federal district court entered an order closing and consolidating these cases and any subsequently filed related cases (the “Consolidation Order”) into Druskin, et al. v. Answerthink, Inc., et al., Case No. 02-23304-CIV-GOLD. The Consolidated Amended Complaint was filed on May 9, 2003. The Company filed a motion seeking the dismissal of the Consolidated Amended Complaint on July 15, 2003. Oral argument on this motion is set for October 24, 2003. Based on the status of these actions, it is not possible to determine the range of loss to the Company, if any. The Company believes that the plaintiffs’ claims are without merit and intends to defend the lawsuits vigorously.

The Company is involved in legal proceedings, claims, and litigation arising in the ordinary course of business not specifically discussed herein. In the opinion of management, the final disposition of such other matters will not have a material adverse effect on the financial position or results of operations of the Company.

9. Subsequent Event

In July 2003, the Company purchased the assets of Beacon Analytics, Inc., a business performance management consulting company focusing on the implementation of Hyperion software. The purchase price for this acquisition was $3.8 million in cash and approximately $2.5 million of contingent consideration due over the next three years if certain earnings goals are achieved.

Critical Accounting Policies

Revenue Recognition

Our revenues are derived from fees for services generated on a project-by-project basis. Revenues for services rendered are recognized on a time and materials basis based on the number of hours worked by our consultants at an agreed upon rate per hour or on a fixed-fee or capped-fee basis. Revenues related to time and material contracts are recognized in the period in which services are performed. Revenues related to fixed-fee or capped-fee contracts are recognized based on our evaluation of actual costs incurred to date compared to total estimated costs using the percentage of completion method of accounting. The cumulative impact of any revisions in estimated total revenues and direct contract costs are recognized in the period in which they become known. Unbilled revenues represent revenues for services performed that have not been invoiced. If we do not accurately estimate the resources required or the scope of the work to be performed, or we do not manage our projects properly within the planned periods of time or we do not meet our clients’ expectations under the contracts, then future consulting margins may be significantly and negatively affected or losses on existing contracts may need to be recognized. Any such resulting reductions in margins or contract losses could be material to our results of operations. Revenues before reimbursements exclude reimbursable expenses charged to clients. Reimbursements, including those related to travel and out-of-pocket expenses, are included in revenues, and an equivalent amount of reimbursable expenses is included in project personnel and expenses.

The agreements entered into in connection with a project, whether time and materials based or fixed-fee or capped-fee based, are typically terminable by the client upon 30 days’ notice. Upon early termination of an engagement,

11

Table of Contents

the client is required to pay for all time, materials and expenses incurred by us through the effective date of the termination. In addition, provisions in some of the agreements we have with our clients limit our right to enter into business relationships with specific competitors of that client for a specific time period. These provisions typically prohibit us from performing a defined range of our services that we might otherwise be willing to perform for potential clients. These provisions are generally limited to six to twelve months and usually apply only to specific employees or the specific project team.

Accounts Receivable and Allowances for Doubtful Accounts

We maintain allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of our clients to make required payments. Periodically, we review accounts receivable to assess our estimates of collectibility. Management critically reviews accounts receivable and analyzes historical bad debts, past-due accounts, client credit-worthiness and current economic trends when evaluating the adequacy of the allowance for doubtful accounts. If the financial condition of our clients were to deteriorate, resulting in their inability to make payments, additional allowances may be required.

Goodwill

We assess goodwill for impairment when events or circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable, or, at a minimum, on an annual basis. We have made determinations as to what our reporting units are and what amounts of goodwill and intangible assets should be allocated to those reporting units.

In assessing the recoverability of long-lived identifiable assets and goodwill, we must make assumptions regarding estimated future cash flows, discount rates and other factors to determine if impairment tests are met. These estimates contain management’s best estimates, using appropriate and customary assumptions and projections at the time. If these estimates or their related assumptions change in the future, we may be required to record additional impairment charges.

Restructuring Reserves

Restructuring reserves reflect judgements and estimates of our ultimate costs of severance, closure and consolidation of facilities and settlement of contractual obligations under our operating leases, including sublease rental rates, absorption period to sublease space and other related costs. We reassess the reserve requirements to complete each individual plan under our restructuring programs at the end of each reporting period. If these estimates change in the future or actual results are different than our estimates, we may be required to record additional charges in the future.

Income Taxes

We record income taxes using the liability method. Under this method, we record deferred taxes based on temporary taxable and deductible differences between the tax bases of our assets and liabilities and our financial reporting bases. The liability method of accounting for deferred income taxes requires a valuation allowance against deferred tax assets if, based on the weight of available evidence, it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.

Contingent Liabilities

We have certain contingent liabilities that arise in the ordinary course of our business activities. We accrue contingent liabilities when it is probable that future expenditures will be made and such expenditures can be reasonably estimated. Reserves for contingent liabilities are reflected in our consolidated financial statements based on management’s assessment, along with legal counsel, of the expected outcome of the contingencies. If the final outcome of our contingencies differs adversely from that currently expected, it would result in a charge to earnings when determined.

Table of Contents

Results of Operations

The following table sets forth, for the periods indicated, our results of operations and the percentage relationship to revenues of such results:

Revenues. Revenues for the quarter ended July 4, 2003 decreased by $14.9 million or 32% compared to the quarter ended June 28, 2002. Revenues for the six months ended July 4, 2003 decreased $27.8 million or 29% compared to the six months ended June 28, 2002. These decreases in revenues for the quarter and six-month period were primarily attributable to lower revenues from a few of our larger customers due to the completion of some of their larger projects, as well as lower demand for information technology services as clients continue to reduce or defer expenditures for these services. Reimbursements as a percentage of revenues during the quarters and six months ended July 4, 2003 and June 28, 2002 were comparable at 11% during the quarters and 11% and 12%, respectively, during the six-month periods. During the second quarter and first six months of 2003, our ten most significant clients accounted for 42% and 44%, respectively, of revenues compared to 53% and 57%, respectively, of revenues for the comparable periods in 2002.

Project Personnel and Expenses. Project personnel costs and expenses primarily consist of salaries, benefits and bonuses for consultants and reimbursable expenses associated with projects. Project personnel costs and expenses were $21.5 million in the quarter ended July 4, 2003, a decrease of $11.3 million or 34% compared to the quarter ended June 28, 2002. Project personnel costs and expenses were $47.0 million in the six months ended July 4, 2003, a decrease of $21.3 million or 31% compared to the six months ended June 28, 2002. These decreases were primarily due to the reduction in the number of consultants in order to balance workforce capacity with market demand for services. Consultant headcount was 469 as of July 4, 2003 compared to 750 as of June 28, 2002.

Project personnel and expenses as a percentage of revenues decreased slightly to 68% and 69% in the quarter and six months ended July 4, 2003, respectively, from 71% in the comparable periods of 2002. These decreases were

13

Table of Contents

primarily the result of higher utilization of consultants during 2003 compared to 2002, partially offset by slightly higher average cost per consultant attributable to a greater percentage of senior resources during the second quarter and first six months of 2003 compared to the comparable quarter and first six months of 2002.

Selling, General and Administrative. Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased 22% to $11.0 million in the quarter ended July 4, 2003 from $14.1 million in the quarter ended June 28, 2002. Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased 17% to $23.6 million in the six months ended July 4, 2003 from $28.5 million in the six months ended June 28, 2002. The overall decreases in selling, general and administrative expenses were primarily due to our continued cost control initiatives and reduced discretionary spending. We reduced functional support headcount and as a result, incurred $715,000 of severance costs in the first six months of 2003 compared to $124,000 in the first six months of 2002. Additionally, we incurred lower selling costs and reduced property and facility expenses as a result of a decrease in the number of offices from 13 at the end of the second quarter of 2002 to 9 at the end of the second quarter of 2003. These reductions in expenses were partially offset by an increase in selling expenses for The Hackett Group related to an increased sales force. Sales and functional support headcount was 124 as of July 4, 2003 compared to 145 as of June 28, 2002. Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenues increased to 35% in the quarter and six months ended July 4, 2003 from 30% in the quarter and six months ended June 28, 2002. These increases were primarily attributable to lower revenues in the first six months of 2003 compared to the first six months of 2002.

Restructuring Costs. We recorded restructuring costs of $4.9 million for the first six months ended July 4, 2003 to increase previously established reserves recorded in the fourth quarters of 2002 and 2001 for the closure and consolidation of facilities. In 2003, existing reserves were increased 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.

Impairment of Goodwill and Cumulative Effect of Change in Accounting Principle. We adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, during the first quarter of 2002. The new accounting rule eliminated the amortization of goodwill and changed the method of determining whether there is a goodwill impairment from an undiscounted cash flow method to a fair value method. As a result of the adoption of this standard, we incurred a non-cash transitional impairment charge of $31.2 million in the first quarter of 2002 due to the cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle.

Income Taxes. We recorded $150,000 of income tax expense for state and foreign taxes for the first six months of 2003. We did not recognize an income tax benefit for federal and state taxes for the first six months of 2003 due to the establishment of a valuation allowance for the tax benefit generated on losses in the first six months. Our tax benefit for the first six months of 2002 was 40% of our pre-tax loss from both continuing and discontinued operations. The full amount of this tax benefit has been reflected within continuing operations, consistent with the tax benefit presented in our consolidated statement of operations for the year ended January 3, 2003.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We have funded our operations primarily with cash flow generated from operations and the proceeds from our initial public offering. At July 4, 2003, we had approximately $62.5 million in cash and cash equivalents compared to $63.4 million at January 3, 2003. We had $2.9 million on deposit with a financial institution as collateral for letters of credit and have classified this as restricted cash on the accompanying consolidated balance sheet at July 4, 2003 and January 3, 2003.

Net cash provided by operating activities was $3.6 million for the six months ended July 4, 2003 compared to $900,000 used in operating activities during the comparable period of 2002. During the six months ended July 4, 2003, net cash provided by operating activities was primarily attributable to a $9.6 million decrease in prepaid expenses and other assets primarily related to the $8.5 million tax refund received in the second quarter of 2003. This effect was partially offset by our net loss of $7.0 million, adjusted for $2.6 million of non-cash expenses, and a $1.4 million decrease in accounts payable. During the six months ended June 28, 2002, net cash used in operating activities was primarily attributable to a $7.9 million decrease in accrued expenses and other liabilities and a $2.1 million increase in prepaid expenses and other assets. These effects were partially offset by a $6.2 million decrease in accounts receivable and unbilled revenue, a $1.0 million increase in accounts payable and our $33.7 million net loss adjusted for $35.5 million of non-cash expenses.

Table of Contents

Net cash used in investing activities was $675,000 for the six months ended July 4, 2003 compared to $2.8 million used during the comparative period of 2002. The uses of cash for investing activities in 2003 were primarily attributable to $670,000 of purchases of property and equipment. The uses of cash in investing activities in 2002 were attributable to $2.6 million of purchases of property and equipment and $236,000 used in the acquisition of a business.

Net cash used in financing activities was $3.9 million for the six months ended July 4, 2003 compared to $4.8 million provided by financing activities during the comparable period of 2002. During the six months ended July 4, 2003, cash used in financing activities was primarily for repurchases of our common stock. During the six months ended June 28, 2002, cash provided by financing activities was from the sale of stock as a result of exercises of stock options as well as the sale of stock through our Employee Stock Purchase Plan.

On June 11, 2003, we commenced two tender offer programs involving voluntary stock option exchanges for our employees. The offering periods for the two stock option exchange programs ended on July 14, 2003. One program was offered to employees at a Director level or below. Under this exchange program, employees holding nonqualified or incentive stock options to purchase our common stock with an exercise price of $4.50 or more were given the opportunity to exchange their existing options for new options to purchase shares of our common stock equal to an amount depending on the exercise price of the surrendered options. The new options will not be granted until at least six months and one day after acceptance of the surrendered options for exchange and cancellation. On July 14, 2003, we accepted for cancellation options to purchase 521,991 shares of our common stock and will issue new options to purchase 187,513 shares of our common stock in exchange for the options surrendered, assuming that all program participants are employed on the date that the new options are granted. The new options will vest over a two-year period from the date of grant. The other program was offered to employees at a Senior Director level or above. Under this exchange program, employees holding nonqualified options to purchase our common stock with an exercise price of $2.80 or more were given the opportunity to exchange their existing options for restricted stock units which were granted on a one-to-one ratio and are subject to a new four-year vesting schedule. On July 14, 2003, we accepted for cancellation options to purchase 3,826,561 shares of our common stock and issued 3,826,561 restricted stock units in exchange for the options surrendered. The issuance of these restricted stock units is expected to result in approximately $600,000 of non-cash compensation expense per quarter over the next four years.

In July 2002, we announced that our Board of Directors approved the repurchase of up to $5.0 million of our common stock. During the second quarter of 2003, our Board of Directors approved the repurchase of an additional $5.0 million of our common stock. Under the repurchase plans, 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. As of July 4, 2003, we had repurchased 3,093,079 shares of our common stock at an average price of $2.10 per share. The amount of shares repurchased to date includes 465,120 shares purchased from our President, who is also a director, at $2.15 per share. We hold repurchased shares of our common stock as treasury stock and account for treasury stock under the cost method.

In July 2003, we purchased the assets of Beacon Analytics, Inc., a business performance management consulting company focusing on the implementation of Hyperion software. The purchase price for this acquisition was $3.8 million in cash and approximately $2.5 million of contingent consideration due over the next three years if certain earnings goals are achieved. This acquisition is expected to add approximately $8.0 million in annualized revenues.

We currently believe that available funds and cash flows generated by operations, if any, will be sufficient to fund our working capital and capital expenditure requirements for at least the next 12 months. We may decide to raise additional funds in order to fund expansion, to develop new or enhanced 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.

We do not believe that there is any material market risk exposure with respect to derivative or other financial instruments, which would require disclosure under this item.

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, subject to the limitations noted below, our Disclosure Controls are effective in timely alerting them to material information required to be included in our periodic SEC filings.

Changes in Internal Controls

Subsequent to the date we carried out our evaluation, there have been no significant changes in the our internal controls or other factors that could significantly affect these internal controls.

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 judgements 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.

PART II—OTHER INFORMATION

Between November 2002 and January 2003, six class actions seeking unspecified damages were filed against Answerthink and certain of its current and former officers and directors alleging violations of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934. The complaints allege misstatements and omissions concerning, among other things, related party transactions during the alleged class period of February 8, 2000 to April 25, 2002. On January 7, 2003 the federal district court entered an order closing and consolidating these cases and any subsequently filed related cases (the “Consolidation Order”) into Druskin, et al. v. Answerthink, Inc., et al., Case No. 02-23304-CIV-GOLD. The Consolidated Amended Complaint was filed on May 9, 2003. We filed a motion seeking the dismissal of the Consolidated Amended Complaint on July 15, 2003. Oral argument on this motion is set for October 24, 2003. Based on the status of these actions, it is not possible to determine the range of loss to us, if any. We believe that the plaintiffs’ claims are without merit and intend to defend the lawsuits vigorously.

At our Annual Meeting of Stockholders held on May 7, 2003, the following proposals were adopted by the votes specified below:
