COMPLETE BUSINESS SOLUTIONS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

1. Basis of Presentation

      The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by management, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the financial position of Complete Business Solutions, Inc. and subsidiaries (CBSI) as of June 30, 2000, the results of its operations for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2000 and 1999, and cash flows for the six month periods ended June 30, 2000 and 1999. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in CBSI’s 1999 Form 10-K.

      The results of operations for the three and six month periods ended, June 30, 2000 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected in future quarters or for the full fiscal year ending December 31, 2000.

2. Income Tax

      CBSI has provided federal and state income taxes in the condensed consolidated statements of income based on the anticipated effective tax rate for fiscal years 2000 and 1999.

3. Common Stock Repurchase Program

      In August 1999, CBSI’s board of directors authorized the repurchase of up to 2,000,000 shares of CBSI’s Common Stock over a twenty-four month period. In May 2000, CBSI’s board of directors authorized the repurchase of up to an additional 5,000,000 shares of CBSI’s Common Stock. Through December 31, 1999, CBSI repurchased 354,000 shares of its Common Stock, for cash, at a total cost of $5,213. During the six month period ended June 30, 2000, CBSI repurchased 2,684,500 shares of its Common Stock, for cash, at a total cost of $52,157.

4. Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock

      On March 17, 2000, CBSI entered into an agreement with a fund managed by Clayton, Dubilier & Rice, Inc. (CDR) whereby CDR will purchase, in two transactions, from CBSI 200,000 shares of Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock for $200,000 and will be issued warrants to purchase 5,300,000 shares of CBSI’s Common Stock. The first transaction, which consisted of the purchase of 100,000 shares of Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock for $100,000 and the issuance of seven year warrants to purchase 3,000,000 shares of CBSI’s Common Stock at $25 per share, closed on April 20, 2000. The second transaction closed on July 28, 2000.

      The Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock is convertible into CBSI Common Stock at any time subsequent to issuance at a price of $23 per share, subject to certain adjustments, and may be redeemed, at CDR’s option, if not converted within ten years of the date of issuance. The warrants consist of seven-year warrants to purchase 3,500,000 shares at $25 per share and ten-year warrants to purchase 1,800,000 shares at $31 per share. All of the warrants become exercisable upon the earlier of the third anniversary of the date of issuance or CBSI’s stock price exceeding a predetermined price for twenty consecutive trading days.

      Upon closing of the first transaction, the proceeds were allocated to the Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock and the warrants based on their relative fair values, with the Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock classified outside of stockholders’ equity and the warrants as additional paid-in capital on the consolidated balance sheet. The difference between the fair value allocated to the Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock and the fair value of CBSI’s Common Stock is considered a beneficial conversion feature. The

      CBSI also entered into an agreement with CDR whereby CDR will provide CBSI financial and management advisory services.

5. Restructuring, Merger and Other Costs

      During 2000, CBSI incurred approximately $5,498 in costs for severance and certain non-recurring employee costs related to CBSI’s organizational restructuring. The charge related to approximately 50 employees in CBSI’s European operations and U.S. Management. The majority of these costs have been paid by June 30, 2000 and no adjustments have been made to the liability. During 1999, CBSI incurred approximately $5,367 for certain non-capitalizable merger and other costs, including lease termination and severance, related to the acquisition of E-Business Solutions.com, Inc.

6. Discontinued Operations

      In June 2000, the CBSI’s board of directors adopted a plan to sell, at a gain, the operations of its contract programming services subsidiary, Synova, Inc. (Synova). The sale is anticipated to be consummated before the end of fiscal 2000. Accordingly, the condensed consolidated financial statements of CBSI have been reclassified to reflect Synova as a discontinued operation. The net operating results of Synova have been reported, net of applicable income taxes, as “Loss from discontinued operations” in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of income for all periods presented. The net current assets or liabilities, and the net long-term assets of Synova as of June 30, 2000 and December 31, 1999, have been presented separately on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. The net cash flows of Synova have been included in “Cash used in discontinued operations and effect of exchange rate changes on cash” in the accompanying condensed consolidated statement of cash flows.

      Summarized financial information for the discontinued operations of Synova are as follows:

      The following section should be read in conjunction with CBSI’s condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in this Form 10-Q. With the exception of statements regarding historical matters and statements concerning our current status, certain matters discussed in this “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” are forward-looking statements that involve substantial risks and uncertainties. Such forward-looking statements may be identified by the words “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “expect,” or “intend” and similar expressions. Our actual results, performance or achievements could differ materially from these forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to such material differences include our failure to recruit and retain IT professionals, risks related to our merger, acquisition and strategic investment strategy, variability of our quarterly operating results, governmental regulation of immigration, potential cost overruns on fixed-price projects, increasing significance of non-U.S. operations, exposure to regulatory, political and economic conditions in India, competition in the IT services industry, short-term and termination provisions of contracts, failure to properly manage growth, possible write-off of computer software development costs, limited protection of intellectual property rights, and potential liability to clients and other risks as more fully discussed in our 1999 Form 10-K.

Results of Continuing Operations

      Revenues.  CBSI’s revenues from continuing operations decreased approximately 9.1% to $105.8 million for the three month period ended June 30, 2000 from $116.4 million for the same period in 1999. Revenue from continuing operations decreased approximately 8.2% to $207.6 for the six month period ended June 30, 2000 from $226 million for the same period in 1999. This decline in revenues is primarily due to the Y2K-induced industry slowdown and a 4% decrease in CBSI’s IT professional workforce during the six month period ended June 30, 2000. For the third and fourth quarters of fiscal 2000, management expects to see only modest revenue growth and combined with margin pressure and increased investment in repositioning initiatives, management expects short-term earnings to remain depressed.

      Gross Profit.  Gross profit consists of revenues less cost of revenues. Cost of revenues consists primarily of salaries (including nonbillable and training time), benefits, travel and relocation for IT professionals. In addition, cost of revenues includes depreciation and amortization, direct facility costs and contractual services. Gross profit decreased approximately 32.6% to $27.5 million for the three month period ended June 30, 2000 from $40.8 million for the same period in 1999, and approximately 26.2% to $58.4 million for the six month period ended June 30, 2000 from $79.1 million for the same period in 1999. Gross profit as a percentage of revenues decreased to approximately 26% for the three month period ended June 30, 2000 from 35% for the same period in 1999. For the six month period ended June 30, 2000, gross profit margin as a percentage of revenue decreased to approximately 28% from 35% for the same period in 1999. This decrease is due to CBSI’s increased level of investment in training and development of its IT professionals in connection with its e-business expansion strategy, and decreased utilization rates.

      Selling, General and Administrative.  Selling, general and administrative expenses consist primarily of costs associated with CBSI’s direct selling and marketing efforts, human resources and recruiting departments, administration and indirect facility costs. Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased approximately 2.2% to $24.8 million for the three month period ended June 30, 2000 from $25.4 million for the same period in 1999 and approximately 2.0% to $48.1 million for the six month period ended June 30, 2000 from $49.1 million for the same period in 1999. As a percentage of revenues, selling, general and administrative expenses increased to 23.4% for the three month period ended June 30, 2000 from 21.8% for the same period in 1999 and to 23.2% for the six month period ended June 30, 2000 from 21.7% for the same period in 1999. This increase is primarily due to the decrease in revenues.

      Interest Expense (Income).  Interest expense (income) represents interest earned on cash equivalents net of interest expense on borrowings. Interest income for the three month period ended June 30, 2000 was $1.3 million compared to $1.0 million for the same period in 1999. The increase is due primarily to the

Liquidity and Capital Resources

      CBSI generally funds its operations and working capital needs through internally generated funds, periodically supplemented by borrowings under CBSI’s revolving credit facilities with a commercial bank. CBSI’s cash used in continuing operations was $15.6 million for the six month period ended June 30, 2000 compared to $8.0 million for the same period in 1999. The increase in cash used in operations is primarily due to an increase in the accounts receivable days sales outstanding.

      The principal use of cash for investing activities of continuing operations during the six month period ended June 30, 2000 was for the purchase of property and equipment primarily as part of the development and enhancement of CBSI’s e-centers and offshore software development centers, the investment in internally developed computer software, and other strategic investments.

      To facilitate future cash flow needs, CBSI has an arrangement with a commercial bank where CBSI may borrow an amount not to exceed $30 million with interest at the bank’s prime interest rate, or the LIBOR rate plus 1 1/4%. Borrowings under this facility are short-term, payable on demand and are secured by trade accounts receivable and equipment of CBSI.

      Net cash provided by financing activities of continuing operations for the six month period ended June 30, 2000 of $41.7 million was primarily due to CBSI realizing net proceeds of approximately $88 million in connection with the issuance of 100,000 shares of Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock, offset by the $52.2 million cost of repurchasing CBSI Common Stock. Net cash provided by financing activities of continuing operations for the six month period ended June 30, 1999 of $64.4 million was primarily due to CBSI realizing net proceeds of approximately $60.3 million from the issuance of Common Stock in February 1999 during a follow-on Common Stock offering.

      The offshore development centers’ operations of CBSI accounted for approximately 7% of CBSI’s total revenues during the six month period ended June 30, 2000. Most of CBSI’s revenues are billed in U.S. dollars. CBSI recognizes transaction gains and losses in the period of occurrence. Foreign currency fluctuations during the six month period ended June 30, 2000 did not have a material impact on income from operations as currency fluctuations on revenue denominated in a foreign currency were offset by currency fluctuations on expenses denominated in a foreign currency. There were no material operating trends or effects on liquidity as a result of fluctuations in the functional currency. CBSI does not generally use any types of derivatives to hedge against foreign currency fluctuations, nor does it speculate in foreign currency.

      Inflation did not have a material impact on CBSI’s revenues or income from operations during the six month period ended June 30, 2000.

Other

      Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock.  On March 17, 2000, CBSI entered into an agreement with a fund managed by Clayton, Dubilier & Rice, Inc. (CDR) whereby CDR will purchase, in two transactions, from CBSI 200,000 shares of Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock for $200,000 and will be issued warrants to purchase 5,300,000 shares of CBSI’s Common Stock. The first transaction, which consisted of the purchase of 100,000 shares of Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock for $100,000 and the issuance of seven year warrants to purchase 3,000,000 shares of CBSI’s Common Stock at $25 per share, closed on April 20, 2000. The second transaction closed on July 28, 2000.

      The Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock is convertible into CBSI Common Stock at any time subsequent to issuance at a price of $23 per share, subject to certain adjustments, and may be redeemed, at CDR’s option, if not converted within ten years of the date of issuance. The warrants consist of seven-year warrants to purchase 3,500,000 shares at $25 per share and ten-year warrants to purchase 1,800,000 shares at $31 per share. All of the warrants become exercisable upon the earlier of the third anniversary of the date of issuance or CBSI’s stock price exceeding a predetermined price for twenty consecutive trading days.

      Upon closing of the first transaction, the proceeds were allocated to the Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock and the warrants based on their relative fair values, with the Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock classified outside of stockholders’ equity and the warrants as additional paid-in capital on the consolidated balance sheet. The difference between the fair value allocated to the Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock and the fair value of CBSI’s Common Stock is considered a beneficial conversion feature. The beneficial conversion feature which does not affect net income (loss) was accounted for as a dividend on the Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock in the period it is issued and as a reduction of income (loss) available to common shareholders in the computation of basic and fully diluted earnings per share, where applicable. The closing of the second transaction will be accounted for in the same manner in the third quarter of 2000.

      CBSI also entered into an agreement with CDR whereby CDR will provide CBSI financial and management advisory services.

      Restructuring, Merger and Other Costs.  During 2000, CBSI incurred approximately $5,498 in costs for severance and certain non-recurring employee costs related to CBSI’s organizational restructuring. The charge related to approximately 50 employees in CBSI’s European operations and U.S. Management.

The net current assets or liabilities, and the net long-term assets of Synova as of June 30, 2000 and December 31, 1999, have been presented separately on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. The net cash flows of Synova have been included in “Cash used in discontinued operations and effect of exchange rate changes on cash” in the accompanying condensed consolidated statement of cash flows.

Recently Issued Financial Accounting Standards

      Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101, “Revenue Recognition” was issued in December 1999, and later amended in June 2000. CBSI will be required to adopt the new Staff Accounting Bulletin by the fourth quarter of the year ended December 31, 2000. This bulletin clarifies the SEC’s views on revenue recognition. CBSI is in the process of assessing the impact of the bulletin and will adopt this bulletin in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2000.
