Item 5. Other Events.
On June 9, 1999, Navigant Consulting, Inc. (the "Company"), formerly the
Metzler Group, filed an interim Report on Form 8-K which included restated
selected financial data, unaudited quarterly financial information, and
consolidated financial statements for three acquisitions that were consummated
in the first quarter of 1999 following the pooling of interests method of
accounting. Subsequent to the filing of that interim report, the Company
determined that it should no longer seek to maintain the pooling of interests
treatment in light of subsequent events that occurred in the third quarter of
1999. Although these 1999 transactions were originally accounted for properly
as poolings-of-interests, the disclosures, financial data and financial
statements referring to these acquisitions as poolings have been superseded and
all of the acquisitions consummated in the first quarter of 1999 will be
accounted for under the purchase method of accounting.
As a result, the information regarding the Company's financial condition as of
December 31, 1998 and 1997, and results of operations for each of the three
years in the period ended December 31, 1998, can be found in the Company's
Annual Report on Form 10-K, as filed on March 31, 1999 and as subsequently
amended.
