1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The condensed consolidated financial statements for the three months ended July 31, 2007 and 2006 include the accounts of Korn/Ferry International and all of its wholly and majority owned/controlled domestic and international subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”). The condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited, but include all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring accruals and any other adjustments that management considers necessary for a fair presentation of the results for these periods. These financial statements have been prepared consistently with the accounting policies described in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2007 (the “Annual Report”) and should be read together with the Annual Report.

Critical Accounting Policies and Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. As a result, actual results could differ from these estimates. The most significant areas that require management judgment are revenue recognition, deferred compensation and the carrying values of goodwill, other intangible assets and deferred income taxes.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers cash equivalents to be only those investments which are highly liquid, readily convertible and mature within three months from the date of purchase.

Available-for-Sale Securities

The Company considers its marketable securities as available-for-sale as defined in SFAS No. 115, “Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities.” These investments are recorded at fair value and are classified as marketable securities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets as of July 31, 2007 and April 30, 2007. The changes in fair values, net of applicable taxes, are recorded as unrealized gains (losses) as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income in stockholders’ equity. Investments are made based on the Company’s investment policy which restricts the types of investments that can be made.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company has employee compensation plans under which various types of stock-based instruments are granted. These instruments, as more fully described below, principally include stock options, stock appreciation rights (“SARs”), restricted stock, and an Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“ESPP”). The Company accounts for stock-based instruments in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123(R), “Share-Based Payment” (“SFAS No. 123(R)”).

The following table reflects the components of stock-based compensation expense recognized in the Company’s consolidated statements of income for the three months ended July 31, 2007 and 2006:

(in thousands, except per share amounts)

The Company uses the Black-Scholes option valuation model to estimate the grant date fair value of employee stock options. The expected volatility reflects the consideration of the historical volatility in the Company’s publicly traded instruments during the period the option is granted. The Company believes historical volatility in these instruments is more indicative of expected future volatility than the implied volatility in the price of the Company’s common stock. The expected life of the option is estimated using historical data to estimate the expected life of the options. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury zero-coupon issue with a remaining term approximating the expected term of the options. The Company uses historical data to estimate forfeiture rates applied to the gross amount of expense determined using the option valuation model. The assumptions used to estimate the fair value of the stock options using the Black-Scholes option valuation model were as follows for the three months ended July 31, 2007 and 2006:

The Black-Scholes option pricing model was developed for use in estimating the fair value of traded options. The assumptions used in option valuation models are highly subjective, particularly the expected stock price volatility of the underlying stock.

Stock Option Plans

The Company’s employee stock option plans provide for option grants designated as either nonqualified, incentive stock options or SARs. Options granted to officers, non-employee directors and other key employees generally vest over a three to five year period, and generally expire ten years from the date of grant. Key employees are eligible to receive a grant of stock options annually with the number of options determined by the employee’s performance level. In addition, certain key management periodically receives stock option or restricted stock grants upon commencement of employment.

Stock option and SARs information during the three months ended July 31, 2007 is as follows:

Included in the table above are 61 SARs outstanding and exercisable at July 31, 2007 with a weighted-average exercise price of $12.42. As of July 31, 2007, there was $2,757 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to nonvested awards of stock options and SARs. That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.2 years. For stock option awards subject to graded vesting, we recognize the total compensation cost on a straight-line basis over the service period for the entire award.

Restricted Stock

The Company grants restricted stock to executive officers and other senior employees generally vesting over a three to four year period. Restricted stock is granted at a price equal to the fair market value of the common stock on the date of grant. Employees may receive restricted stock annually in conjunction with the Company’s performance review as well as throughout the year upon commencement of employment. The fair values of restricted stock shares are determined based on the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the grant dates.

Information regarding our restricted stock during the three months ended July 31, 2007 is as follows:

As of July 31, 2007, there was $39,230 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to nonvested awards of shares of restricted stock. That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 3.1 years. For restricted stock awards subject to graded vesting, the Company recognizes the total compensation cost on a straight-line basis over the service period for the entire award. In the three months ended July 31, 2007 and 2006, 154 and 68 restricted stock shares totaling $4,085 and $1,328, respectively, were repurchased by the Company at the option of the employee to pay for taxes on restricted stock shares vesting in the periods.

Employee Stock Purchase Plan

In October 2003, the Company implemented an ESPP that, in accordance with Section 423 of the Internal Revenue Code, allows eligible employees to authorize payroll deductions of up to 15% of their salary to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock at 85% of the fair market price of the common stock on the last day of the enrollment period. The maximum number of shares of common stock reserved for ESPP issuance is 1,500, subject to adjustment for certain changes in the Company’s capital structure and other extraordinary events. During the three months ended July 31, 2007 and 2006, employees purchased 73 shares at $22.32 per share, and 85 shares at $16.65 per share, respectively. At July 31, 2007, the plan had approximately 800 shares available for future issuance.

Common Stock

The Company issued approximately 884 and 366 common shares as a result of the exercise of stock options and 73 and 85 common shares in conjunction with the Company’s ESPP in the three months ended July 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

Reclassifications

Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.

New Accounting Standards

In July 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes” (“FIN 48”). The Company adopted FIN 48 as of May 1, 2007. FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for income taxes by prescribing a minimum threshold for benefit recognition of a tax position for financial reporting purposes. FIN 48 also establishes tax accounting rules for measurement, classification, interest and penalties, disclosure and interim period accounting. As a result of the adoption of FIN48, the Company recorded a cumulative effect adjustment which reduced retained earnings by $3,500. As of the adoption date, the Company had gross unrecognized benefits of $10,700, which would impact the effective tax rate if recognized. Interest and penalties related to income tax matters are recorded to income tax expense. As of July 31, 2007, the Company accrued interest related to FIN 48 of $200. The Company’s Federal and state tax return filings remain subject to examination until 2010 and 2011, respectively.

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (“SFAS No. 157”). This statement defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. The statement emphasizes that fair value is a market-based measurement, not an entity-specific measurement and establishes a fair value hierarchy. This statement also clarifies how the assumptions of risk and the effect of restrictions on sales or use of an asset effect the valuation. SFAS No. 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is assessing the impact this statement will have on its results of operations and financial position.

In February, 2007, FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities” (“SFAS No. 159”) including an amendment of SFAS No. 115. This statement provides companies with an option to report selected financial assets and liabilities at fair value. This statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, with early adoption permitted. The Company is assessing the impact this statement will have on its results of operations and financial position.

2. Basic and Diluted Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per common share (“basic EPS”) was computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per common share (“diluted EPS”) reflects the potential dilution that would occur if all in-the-money outstanding options or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted and was computed by dividing adjusted net income, after assumed conversion of subordinated notes and preferred stock, by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding plus dilutive common equivalent shares. The following is a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator used in the computation of basic and diluted EPS:

Assumed exercises or conversions have been excluded in computing the diluted EPS when their inclusion would be anti-dilutive.

3. Comprehensive Income

Comprehensive income is comprised of net income and all changes to stockholders’ equity, except those changes resulting from investments by owners (changes in paid in capital) and distributions to owners (dividends).

Total comprehensive income is as follows:

The accumulated other comprehensive income at July 31, 2007 includes foreign currency translation adjustments, unrealized gains on marketable securities and the implementation effect of SFAS No. 158, net of taxes, of $22,399, $1,349 and ($335), respectively.

4. Deferred Compensation, Retirement Plans and Executive Capital Accumulation Plan

The Company has several deferred compensation and retirement plans for vice-presidents that provide defined benefit payments to participants based on the deferral of current compensation subject to vesting and retirement or termination provisions. The components of net periodic benefit cost are as follows:

The Company has the Executive Capital Accumulation Plan (“ECAP”) which is intended to provide certain employees an opportunity to defer salary and/or bonus on a pre-tax basis, or make an after-tax contribution. The Company made $12,700 in ECAP contributions in the three months ended July 31, 2007. The Company contribution vests and is expensed ratably over a four year period.

5. Business Segments

The Company operates in two global business segments: executive recruitment and Futurestep. These segments are distinguished primarily by the candidates’ level of compensation. The executive recruitment business segment is managed by geographic regional leaders. Revenue from leadership development solutions and other consulting engagements is included in executive recruitment. Futurestep’s worldwide operations are managed by the Chief Executive Officer of Futurestep. The executive recruitment geographic regional leaders and the Chief Executive Officer of Futurestep report directly to the Chief Executive Officer of the Company. The Company also operates a Corporate segment to record global expenses of the Company.

Forward-looking Statements

This quarterly report on Form 10-Q may contain certain statements that we believe are, or may be considered to be, “forward-looking” statements, within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. These forward-looking statements generally can be identified by use of statements that include phrases such as “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “plan,” “foresee,”,”may,” “will,” “estimates,” “potential,” “continue” or other similar words or phrases. Similarly, statements that describe our objectives, plans or goals are also forward-looking statements. All of these forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those contemplated by the relevant forward-looking statement. The principal risk factors that could cause actual performance and future actions to differ materially from the forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, dependence on attracting and retaining qualified and experienced consultants, portability of client relationships, local political or economic developments in or affecting countries where we have operations, ability to manage growth, restrictions imposed by off-limits agreements, competition, risks related to the growth and results of Futurestep, reliance on information processing systems, and employment liability risk as well as the matters disclosed under the heading “Risk Factors” in Item 1A of the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for fiscal 2007. Readers are urged to consider these factors carefully in evaluating the forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements included in this Form 10-Q are made only as of the date of this report and we undertake no obligation to publicly update these forward-looking statements to reflect subsequent events or circumstances.

The following presentation of management’s discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read together with our condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Form 10-Q.

Executive Summary

Korn/Ferry International and all of its wholly and majority owned/controlled domestic and international subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company,” or in the first person, “we,” “us” and “our”) is a premier provider of talent management solutions. We are the largest provider of executive search, outsourced recruiting and leadership development solutions with the broadest global presence in the recruitment industry. Our services include executive recruitment, middle-management recruitment (through Futurestep), outsourced recruitment, leadership development solutions and executive coaching. Over half of the executive recruitment searches we performed in the last fiscal year were for board level, chief executive and other senior executive and general management positions. Our 4,742 clients in the last fiscal year included approximately 43% of the FORTUNE 500 companies. We have established strong client loyalty; more than 84% of the executive recruitment assignments we performed during the previous three fiscal years were on behalf of clients for whom we had conducted multiple assignments.

In an effort to maintain our long-term vision of being the leading provider of executive search, outsourced recruiting and leadership development solutions, our strategic focus for fiscal 2008 will center upon increasing market share and further enhancing the cross-selling of our multi-product strategy. We will continue to address areas of increasing client demand, including Recruitment Process Outsourcing (“RPO”) and Leadership Development Solutions (“LDS”). We will explore new products and services, continue to pursue a disciplined acquisition strategy, enhance our technology and processes and aggressively leverage our brand through thought leadership and intellectual capital projects as a means of delivering world-class service to our clients.

Fee revenue increased 21% in the first quarter of fiscal year 2008 to $185.4 million compared to the prior year’s first quarter with increases in all regions. The North America and Europe, the Middle East, and Africa (“EMEA”) regions experienced the largest dollar increases in fee revenue. In the first quarter of fiscal 2008, we earned an operating profit of $25.1 million with operating income from executive recruitment of $32.7 million and $2.1 million from Futurestep, offset by corporate expenses of $9.7 million. This represents an increase of 24% over the prior year’s quarterly operating income of $20.3 million.

We had no long-term debt or outstanding balance under our credit facility at July 31, 2007. Our working capital increased $22.1 million in the first quarter of 2008 to $257.4 million at July 31, 2007.

Critical Accounting Policies

The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and operating results are based on our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. Preparation of this quarterly report on Form 10-Q requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of our financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results may differ from those estimates and assumptions. In preparing our interim financial statements and accounting for the underlying transactions and balances, we apply our accounting policies as disclosed in our Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. We consider

12

Table of Contents

the policies related to revenue recognition, deferred compensation and the carrying values of goodwill, intangible assets and deferred income taxes as critical to an understanding of our interim consolidated financial statements because their application places the most significant demands on management’s judgment. Specific risks for these critical accounting policies are described in our Fiscal 2007 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Table of Contents

Three Months Ended July 31, 2007 Compared to Three Months Ended July 31, 2006

Fee Revenue. Fee revenue increased $32.6 million, or 21%, to $185.4 million in the three month ended July 31, 2007 compared to $152.8 million in the three months ended July 31, 2006. The improvement in fee revenue is attributable mainly to an 11% increase in the number of engagements billed within executive recruitment and an increase in average fees from all regions. Exchange rates favorably impacted fee revenues by $6.2 million in the current quarter.

Executive Recruitment. Executive recruitment fee revenue increased $27.4 million, or 21%, due to an increase in the number of engagements billed, an increase in average fee and $5.2 million from the Lominger Enities (Lominger Limited, Inc and Lominger Consulting, Inc., as well as certain related intellectual property, were acquired by the Company in the second quarter of fiscal 2007). During the three months ended July 31, 2007, the number of executive recruitment engagements billed have increased by 11% as compared to the same period last year.

North America fee revenue increased $11.8 million, or 16%, to $87.3 million primarily due to a 10% increase in the number of engagements billed as well as a 5% increase in average fees as compared to last year. Overall revenue growth was driven by a more significant increase derived from the technology sector offset by a minor decline in the financial services sector.

EMEA reported fee revenue of $44.7 million, an increase of $10.5 million, or 31%, compared to $34.2 million in the same period last year. EMEA’s increase in fee revenue was driven by a 17% increase in the number of engagements billed and an increase in average fees of 12%. The performance in a new office in Turkey and improved performance in existing offices in Germany, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom and the Middle East were the primary contributors to the increase in fee revenues. The industrial and technology sectors experienced the strongest growth over the prior year. Exchange rates favorably impacted EMEA fee revenue by $4.0 million in the current quarter.

Asia Pacific fee revenue increased $4.4 million, or 24%, to $22.7 million, compared to the same period last year due to a 7% increase in the number of engagements billed and an increase in average fees of 16%. The offices of Greater China (Hong Kong, Shanghai and Beijing) and Australasia (Australia and New Zealand) contributed approximately 34% and 31%, respectively to the increase in fee revenue. The technology, consumer goods and financial services sectors each experienced growth over the prior year. Exchange rates favorably impacted fee revenue for Asia Pacific by $0.3 million in the three months ended July 31, 2007.

South America reported fee revenue of $5.1 million, an increase of $0.6 million, or 13% compared to the same period last year, of which $0.5 million is attributable to the favorable impact of exchange rates. Overall engagements billed were down 6% and average fees increased slightly within the region compared to the same period in the prior year. Fee revenues for the region in the current quarter were comparable to the prior year quarter excluding the impact of exchange rates.

Futurestep. Fee revenue increased $5.3 million, or 26%, to $25.6 million in the three months ended July 31, 2007 compared to $20.3 million in the three months ended July 31, 2006. The improvement in Futurestep’s fee revenue, reflected across all regions, is due to an increase in average fees resulting from our continued strategic emphasis on larger outsourced recruiting solutions. Of the total increase in fee revenue, Asia Pacific experienced the largest increase in fee revenue of $1.8 million, or 38%, to $6.5 million reflecting increased revenue from areas including RPO and individual searches. Australia contributed approximately 60% of the increase in fee revenue. Europe fee revenue increased $1.8 million, or 23%, to $9.8 million, arising from increased business in France, Germany and Italy and a migration to larger engagements. North America fee revenue increased $1.6 million, or 21%, to $9.3 million related to growth from Canada and a $1.1 million contribution from The Newman Group acquisition in the current quarter. Exchange rates favorably impacted fee revenue by $1.4 million in the current quarter.

Compensation and Benefits. Compensation and benefits expense increased $18.6 million, or 18%, to $123.0 million in the three months ended July 31, 2007 from $104.4 million the three months ended July 31, 2006. The increase in compensation and benefits expenses is primarily due to increased global headcount of 656, or 20%, compared to the same period last year, including a 21% increase in the average number of consultants, coupled with increased profitability-based awards. Exchange rates unfavorably impacted compensation and benefits expenses by $3.4 million during the three months ended July 31, 2007.

Executive recruitment compensation and benefits costs of $100.2 million in the three months ended July 31, 2007 increased $14.6 million, or 17%, compared to $85.6 million in the same period of prior year primarily due to consultants hired over the past year. In the current year’s first quarter, the number of consultants increased by 50, or 11%, in the first quarter compared to the same period last year. Exchange rates impacted executive recruitment compensation and benefits expense unfavorably by $2.2 million. Executive recruitment compensation and benefits expenses in the three months ended July 31, 2007, decreased to 63% as a percentage of fee revenue, compared to 65% in the same period last fiscal year.

Futurestep compensation and benefits expense increased $3.0 million, or 21%, to $17.1 million from $14.1 million in the same period in the prior year due to significant investments in our employees which increased Futurestep average consultant headcount by 69% during the three months ended July 31, 2007 compared to the three months ended July 31, 2006. Exchange rates unfavorably impacted Futurestep compensation and benefits expense by $1.2 million. Futurestep compensation and benefits expense, as a percentage of fee revenue, declined to 67% from 69% in the same period last year.

Corporate compensation and benefits expense increased $1.0 million, or 21%, to $5.7 million, primarily from increases in recognition of unearned deferred compensation balances in the current quarter compared to the same period in the prior year.

General and Administrative Expenses. General and administrative expenses increased $7.3 million, or 30%, to $31.7 million in the three months ended July 31, 2007 compared to $24.4 million in the three months ended July 31, 2006. Exchange rates unfavorably impacted general and administrative expenses by $0.1 million in the current quarter.

Executive recruitment general and administrative expenses increased $4.7 million, or 27%, from $17.7 million in the first quarter of fiscal year 2007 to $22.4 million in the first quarter of current fiscal year. The increase was driven by increases in premise and office expense of $2.1 million, $1.1 million in business development expenses, $1.2 million in bad debt expense and $0.7 million in realized foreign exchange losses. Increased premise and office expense was attributable to all regions due to increased rent expense, total space leased and associated utility costs. Business development increased primarily due to the growth in the business. Bad debt expense increased in relation to increase in the level of business and corresponding increase in accounts receivable Executive recruitment general and administrative expenses, as a percentage of fee revenue, increased to 14% in current quarter from 13% in the same period in prior year.

Futurestep general and administrative expenses increased $1.6 million, or 40%, to $5.6 million, primarily due to an increase in premise and office expense of $0.5 million resulting from increases in rent expense noted across all regions and the opening of new offices in Europe and Asia. Other administrative expenses increased $0.5 million resulting from an increase in travel and meeting expenses. Futurestep general and administrative expenses, as a percentage of fee revenue, increased to 22% in the current quarter from 20% in the same period in prior year.

Corporate general and administrative expenses increased $1.0 million, or 37%, to $3.7 million primarily due to increased professional fees, travel and meetings and premise and office expenses related to additional office space.

Out-of-Pocket Engagement Expenses. Out-of-pocket engagement expenses consist of expenses incurred by candidates and our consultants that are generally billed to clients. In the three month ended July 31, 2007, out-of-pocket engagement expenses of $14.1 million represent an increase of $4.4 million, or 45%, over the same period in the prior year. Out-of-pocket engagement expenses increased to 8% as a percentage of fee revenue in the three months ended July 31, 2007 compared to 6% in the three months ended July 31, 2006.

Depreciation and Amortization Expenses. Depreciation and amortization expense of $2.4 million in the three months ended July 31, 2007 increased $0.1 million, or 4%, from the same period in the prior year. Depreciation expense relates mainly to computer equipment, software, furniture and leasehold improvements. The increase in depreciation expenses is attributable to an increase in fixed asset balances primarily associated with furniture and fixtures and leasehold improvements related to business expansion and office buildout and amortization of software costs that added new functionality in our corporate and executive search segments.

Operating Income. Operating income increased $4.8 million, or 24%, to $25.1 million in the current quarter compared to $20.3 million in the same period in fiscal year 2007, resulting from increased revenue of $35.2 million offset by a $30.3 million increase to operating expenses, primarily compensation and benefits and general and administrative expenses in the current year.

Executive recruitment operating income increased $6.0 million, or 22%, to $32.7 million in the three months ended July 31, 2007 compared to $26.7 million in the three months ended July 31, 2006. The improvement in executive recruitment operating income is attributable to increased revenues offset by additional compensation expense relating to increased headcount and variable payouts as discussed previously, as well as increased premise and other general administrative expense. Executive recruitment operating income during the current quarter, as a percentage of fee revenue, was 20% and consistent with the first quarter of the prior year.

Futurestep operating income increased by $1.1 million to $2.1 million in the three months ended July 31, 2007 as compared to operating income of $1.0 million in the three months ended July 31, 2006. The increase in Futurestep operating income is primarily due to 48% increase in average fees, offset by a 15% decline in engagements billed during the three month ended July 31, 2007 compared to the same period in fiscal year 2007. Futurestep operating income, as a percentage of fee revenue, improved to 8% in the current quarter from 5% in the same period last year.

Interest Income and Other Income, Net. Interest income and other income, net increased by $0.3 million in the three months ended July 31, 2007 from $2.4 million in the three months ended July 31, 2006. Interest and dividend income increased as a result of higher yields on larger balances of funds available for investment compared to prior year.

Interest Expense. Interest expense, primarily related to borrowings under Company Owned Life Insurance Policies (“COLI”), was $1.2 million in the three months ended July 31, 2007 compared to $2.5 million during the three months ended July 31, 2006. The decrease is primarily a result of interest expense on convertibles securities in the three months ended July 31, 2006 that was not present in the three months ended July 31, 2007 as the securities were converted into shares of the Company’s common stock in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2007.

Provision for Income Taxes. The provision for income taxes was $10.4 million in the three months ended July 31, 2007 compared to $7.6 million in the three months ended July 31, 2006. The provision for income taxes in the current quarter reflects a 39.1% effective tax rate. The provision for income taxes for the same period in prior year reflects a 37.4% tax rate. The increase from the comparable quarter last year is a result of decreases in net operating losses that can be utilized in the current fiscal year and increases in reserves for planned cash repatriations from subsidiaries.

Equity in Earnings of Unconsolidated Subsidiaries. Equity in earnings of unconsolidated subsidiaries is comprised of our less than 50% interest in our Mexican subsidiaries. We report our interest in earnings or loss of our Mexican subsidiaries on the equity basis as a one-line adjustment to net income, net of taxes. Equity in earnings was $0.9 million in the three months ended July 31, 2007 compared to $1.0 million in the same period during the last fiscal year.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We believe that cash on hand, borrowings available under our credit facility and funds from operations will be sufficient to meet our anticipated working capital, debt service requirements, capital expenditures and general corporate requirements. However, adverse changes in our revenue could require us to cut costs and/or obtain financing to meet our cash needs. There are no trends, demands or commitments that would materially affect liquidity or those that relate to the Company’s resources.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We have no off-balance sheet arrangements and have not entered into any transactions involving unconsolidated, limited purpose entities.

As a result of our global operating activities, we are exposed to certain market risks, including foreign currency exchange fluctuations and fluctuations in interest. We manage our exposure to these risks in the normal course of our business as described below. We have not utilized financial instruments for trading, hedging or other speculative purposes nor do we trade in derivative financial instruments.

Foreign Currency Risk

Substantially all our foreign subsidiaries’ operations are measured in their local currencies. Assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the rates of exchange in effect at the end of each reporting period and revenue and expenses are translated at average rates of exchange during the reporting period. Resulting translation adjustments are reported as a component of comprehensive income on our consolidated Statement of Stockholders’ Equity.

Transactions denominated in a currency other than the reporting entity’s functional currency may give rise to transaction gains and losses that impact our results of operations. Historically, we have not realized significant foreign currency gains or losses on such transactions. In the three months ended July 31, 2007, we recognized foreign currency losses, after income taxes, of $0.3 million primarily related to our North America operations.

Our primary exposure to exchange losses is based on outstanding intercompany loan balances denominated in U.S. dollars. If the U.S. dollar strengthened 15%, 25% and 35% against the Pound Sterling, the Euro, the Canadian dollar, the Australian dollar and the Yen, the Company’s exchange loss would have been $2.4 million, $4.1 million and $5.7 million, respectively, based on outstanding balances at July 31, 2007. If the U.S. dollar weakened by the same increments against Pounds Sterling, the Euro, the Canadian dollar, the Australian dollar and the Yen, the Company’s exchange gain would have been $2.4 million, $4.1 million and $5.7 million, respectively, based on outstanding balances at July 31, 2007.

Interest Rate Risk

We primarily manage our exposure to fluctuations in interest rates through our regular financing activities, which generally are short-term and provide for variable market rates. As of July 31, 2007, we had no outstanding balance on our credit facility. We have $60.4 million of borrowings against the cash surrender value of COLI contracts as of July 31, 2007 bearing interest primarily at variable rates. The risk of fluctuations in these variable rates is minimized by the fact that we receive a corresponding adjustment to our borrowed funds crediting rate on the cash surrender value on our COLI contracts.

(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures.

As of the end of the period covered by this report, we carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our “disclosure controls and procedures” (as defined in the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Exchange Act”), Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer. Based upon such evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective.

(b) Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting.

During the fiscal quarter ended July 31, 2007, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting, including any corrective actions with regard to significant deficiencies and material weaknesses.
