PEROT SYSTEMS CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
NOTE 1. GENERAL
The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. The interim condensed consolidated financial statements include the consolidated accounts of Perot Systems Corporation and its majority-owned subsidiaries with all significant intercompany transactions eliminated. In our opinion, all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair statement of the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented have been made. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such SEC rules and regulations. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2006, in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on February 28, 2007. Operating results for the three-month period ended March 31, 2007, are not necessarily indicative of the results for the year ending December 31, 2007.
Financial instruments
The carrying amounts reflected in our condensed consolidated balance sheets for cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and short-term and long-term debt approximate their respective fair value. Fair values are based primarily on current prices for those or similar instruments.
We use derivative financial instruments for the purpose of managing specific exposures as part of our risk management program and hold all derivatives for purposes other than trading. To date, our use of such instruments has been limited to foreign currency forward contracts and an interest rate swap on borrowings under our credit facility entered into on February 15, 2007. This interest rate swap effectively converts $75 million of our borrowings under our credit facility from a variable-rate instrument into a fixed-rate instrument with an interest rate of 5.64%. We do not currently utilize hedge accounting with regard to these derivatives and record all gains and losses associated with such derivatives in the earnings of the appropriate period. In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (FAS) No 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities,” we record the net fair value of the derivatives in accounts receivable, net, and accrued and other current liabilities, on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.
Significant accounting standards to be adopted
FASB Statement No. 157
In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Financial Accounting Standard (FAS) No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements,” which provides guidance for using fair value to measure assets and liabilities. FAS 157 will apply whenever another standard requires or permits assets or liabilities to be measured at fair value. The standard does not expand the use of fair value to any new circumstances. FAS 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. Our adoption of FAS 157 is not expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
FASB Statement No. 159
In February 2007, the FASB issued FAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities-Including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115,” which expands the use of fair value accounting but does not affect existing standards which require assets and liabilities to be carried at fair value. Under FAS 159, a company may elect to use fair value to measure accounts and loans receivable, available-for-sale and held-to-maturity securities, equity method investments, accounts payable, guarantees, issued debt and other eligible financial instruments. FAS 159 is effective for years beginning after November 15, 2007. Our adoption of FAS 159 is not expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
NOTE 2. ACQUISITIONS
On January 30, 2007 we acquired all of the outstanding shares of QSS Group, Inc. (QSS), an information technology services company providing services to the U.S. federal government. As a result of the acquisition, we have gained several significant government-wide contracts and expanded both the scope of services and the areas we serve within the Department of Homeland Security and the Department of Defense. The initial purchase price for QSS was $244 million (net of $1 million of cash acquired), $30 million of which is being held in an escrow account for up to approximately 18 months for potential purchase price adjustments. Additionally, we are required to pay approximately $4 million of state taxes withheld in the second quarter on behalf of the seller,

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
which will increase the total purchase price to $248 million. The purchase price was partially funded by $75 million borrowed against our existing credit facility. The results of operations of QSS and the estimated fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed are included in our condensed consolidated financial statements beginning on the acquisition date. The allocation of the QSS purchase consideration to the assets and liabilities acquired, including goodwill, has not been concluded due to the pending completion of tangible and intangible assets appraisals and potential contractual purchase price adjustments relating to working capital targets. As of March 31, 2007, the estimated fair value of the acquired intangible assets totaled $50 million, resulting in the estimated excess purchase price over net assets acquired of $170 million, which was recorded as goodwill on the condensed consolidated balance sheets, was assigned to the Government Services segment and is deductible for tax purposes.
The following table summarizes the estimated adjusted fair values of the QSS assets acquired and the liabilities assumed at the date of acquisition, which was January 30, 2007 (in millions):
         
Current assets
  $ 53  
Property, equipment and purchased software, net

The following table reflects pro forma combined results of operations as if the acquisition had taken place at the beginning of the calendar year for each of the periods presented and includes an estimate of amortization expense for identifiable intangible assets that were acquired:

In our opinion, the unaudited pro forma combined results of operations are not indicative of the actual results that would have occurred had the acquisition been consummated at the beginning of 2007 or 2006, nor are they indicative of future operations of the combined companies under our ownership and management.
NOTE 3. GOODWILL
The changes in the carrying amount of goodwill for the three months ended March 31, 2007, by reporting segment are as follows:

Total amortization expense for identifiable intangible assets was $4 million and $2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Amortization expense is estimated at $16 million, $15 million, $14 million, $13 million, $10 million and $1 million for the years ended December 31, 2007 through 2012, respectively. Identifiable intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives, ranging from 1 to 6 years. The weighted average estimated useful life is approximately five years.
NOTE 5. COMPREHENSIVE INCOME
Total comprehensive income, net of tax, was as follows:

NOTE 6. CREDIT FACILITY
In January 2007, we borrowed an additional $75 million against our credit facility in connection with our acquisition of QSS. Interest on this borrowing is at a variable rate based on 3 month LIBOR and was 5.64% at March 31, 2007. On February 15, 2007, we entered into an interest rate swap agreement to effectively convert this borrowing into a fixed-rate instrument with an interest rate of 5.64%. The interest rate at March 31, 2007 for our borrowing of $77 million made in March 2005 was 5.82%.
NOTE 7. STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY
At March 31, 2007, there were 121,251,000 shares of our Class A Common Stock outstanding and 817,000 shares of our Class B Common Stock outstanding. At December 31, 2006, there were 120,229,000 shares of our Class A Common Stock outstanding and 817,000 shares of our Class B Common Stock outstanding.
NOTE 8. STOCK OPTIONS AND STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
Stock-based compensation
On January 1, 2006, we adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123R, “Share-Based Payment,” which requires employee stock options and rights to purchase shares under stock participation plans to be accounted for under the fair value method. Prior to the adoption of FAS 123R and as permitted by FAS 123 and FAS 148, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation Transition and Disclosure,” we elected to follow APB 25 and related interpretations in accounting for our employee stock options and implemented the disclosure-only provisions of FAS 123 and FAS 148. Under APB 25, stock compensation expense was recorded

when the exercise price of employee stock options was less than the fair value of the underlying stock on the date of grant. We continue to account for options issued prior to our initial public offering under APB 25 as required by FAS 123R.
For the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, stock option compensation expense and costs associated with our employee stock purchase plan (ESPP) recorded in direct cost of services and selling, general and administrative expenses, as well as the decrease in diluted earnings per common share, were as follows:
                 
    Three months ended

Stock compensation expense related to restricted stock units was $816,000 ($514,000 net of tax), and $510,000 ($321,000 net of tax) for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively.
At March 31, 2007, there was $40 million of total unrecognized compensation cost, net of expected forfeitures, related to non-vested options and restricted stock units, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.2 years.
Activity in our stock-based compensation plans
Activity in stock options for Class A Common Stock was as follows (options in thousands):

For outstanding and exercisable options at March 31, 2007, the weighted average remaining contractual term (in years) is 4.41 and 4.04, respectively. For outstanding and exercisable options at March 31, 2007, the aggregate intrinsic value is $74 million and $43 million, respectively.
NOTE 9. INCOME TAXES
Our effective tax rate for the first quarter of 2007 was 32.4% as compared to 36.1% for the first quarter of 2006. Income tax expense for the first quarter of 2007 included a $2 million tax benefit from the reduction of a valuation allowance against our deferred tax assets in Europe, partially offset by the effect of increased taxes from the expiration of one of our tax holidays in India and increased state income taxes as a result of the Texas margin tax and the acquisition of QSS, which operates in several high-tax states. Income tax expense for the first quarter of 2006 included tax expense of $1 million relating to the resolution of several tax issues raised in an audit by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), including the impact from similar tax issues in open tax years.

While we are subject to examination by the tax authorities in each of the jurisdictions where we operate, our principal tax jurisdictions are the United States, India, and the United Kingdom. We are currently under examination by the IRS for tax years 2003 and 2004. We received a closing agreement from the IRS in March 2007, which effectively closed all tax years prior to 2003 from further examination. We are also under examination in India for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2002 through March 31, 2005 and are open for examination in the United Kingdom for calendar year 2005 and forward.
Effective January 1, 2007, we adopted the provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes — an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109,” which clarifies the accounting for and disclosure of uncertainty in tax positions. Additionally, FIN 48 provides guidance on the recognition, measurement, derecognition, classification and disclosure of tax positions and on the accounting for related interest and penalties. As a result of the implementation of FIN 48, we recognized an $18 million decrease in the reserves for uncertain tax positions, which was recognized as an $8 million increase to retained earnings, a $5 million decrease to goodwill to adjust unrecognized benefits recorded in the cost of acquired companies and a $5 million increase to additional paid in capital to adjust uncertain positions recorded as a component of shareholders’ equity. Following our adoption of FIN 48, the gross balance of unrecognized tax benefits was $15 million at January 1, 2007, which excludes $3 million of offsetting tax benefits, primarily from international tax treaties, which provide for relief from double taxation. The net unrecognized tax benefits of $12 million includes $10 million that, if recognized, would benefit our effective income tax rate and $2 million that, if recognized, would reduce goodwill.
We recognize accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as a component of income tax expense. Accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits were approximately $2 million as of both January 1, 2007 and March 31, 2007. We do not anticipate a significant change to the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits within the next 12 months.
NOTE 10. SEGMENT DATA
We offer our services under three primary lines of business: Industry Solutions, Government Services, and Consulting and Applications Solutions. Industry Solutions, our largest line of business, provides services to our customers primarily under long-term contracts in strategic relationships. These services include technology and business process services, as well as industry domain-based, short-term project and consulting services. The Government Services segment provides infrastructure support, application design and development, consulting, engineering, and technology-based business process solutions for the Department of Defense, the Department of Homeland Security, various federal intelligence agencies, and other governmental agencies. Consulting and Applications Solutions provides software-related services, including the implementation of prepackaged software applications, application development and maintenance, and application systems migration and testing primarily under short-term contracts related to specific projects. “Other” includes our remaining operating areas and corporate activities, income and expenses that are not related to the operations of the other reportable segments, and the elimination of intersegment revenue and direct costs of services of approximately $19 and $11 million for the quarters ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively, related to the provision of services by the Consulting and Applications Solutions segment to the Industry Solutions and Government Services segments.
The reportable segments follow the same accounting policies that we use for our consolidated financial statements. Segment performance is evaluated based on income before taxes, exclusive of income and expenses that are included in the “Other” category. Substantially all corporate and centrally incurred costs are allocated to the segments based principally on expenses, employees, square footage, or usage.
The following is a summary of certain financial information by reportable segment for the quarters ended March 31, 2007 and 2006:

For the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, outstanding options to purchase 3,829,000 and 6,512,000 shares, respectively, of our common stock were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per common share because including them would be antidilutive. We determined whether an option was dilutive or antidilutive by comparing the average market price of our common shares for that period to the aggregate assumed proceeds from each stock option, measured as the sum of the assumed cash proceeds from and excess tax benefits that would be recorded upon the exercise of each stock option and the average unearned compensation cost on each stock option.
We have both Class A and Class B common stock outstanding. Our Class B shares are non-voting and are convertible on a one-for-one basis into Class A shares at the election of the holder without additional consideration, but otherwise are equivalent to our Class A shares. Because our two classes of common stock have equivalent economic rights, including dividend rights, we have elected to present our earnings per share on a combined basis.
NOTE 12. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Litigation
We are, from time to time, involved in various litigation matters. We do not believe that the outcome of the litigation matters in which we are currently a party, either individually or taken as a whole, will have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. However, we cannot predict with certainty any eventual loss or range of possible loss related to such matters.
We currently purchase and intend to continue to purchase the types and amounts of insurance coverage customary for the industry and geographies in which we operate. We have evaluated our risk and consider the coverage we carry to be adequate both in type and amount for the business we conduct.
IPO Allocation Securities Litigation
In July and August 2001, we, as well as some of our current and former officers and directors and the investment banks that underwrote our initial public offering, were named as defendants in two purported class action lawsuits seeking unspecified damages for alleged violations of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and the Securities Act of 1933. Theses cases focus on alleged improper

practices of investment banks. Our case has been consolidated for pretrial purposes with approximately 300 similar cases in the IPO Allocation Securities Litigation. We have accepted a settlement proposal presented to all issuer defendants under which plaintiffs would dismiss and release all claims against all issuer defendants, in exchange for an assurance by the insurance companies collectively responsible for insuring the issuers in all of the IPO cases that the plaintiffs will achieve a minimum recovery of $1 billion (including amounts recovered from the underwriters). On April 24, 2006, the court held a fairness hearing with respect to the proposed settlement, but has not yet issued a ruling.
In December 2006, the Second Circuit Court of Appeals vacated the class certifications in the IPO class action test cases, finding the predominance of common questions over individual questions that is required for class certification cannot be met by those plaintiffs. The Second Circuit has denied plaintiff’s petition for a rehearing.
Other
In addition to the matters described above, we have been, and from time to time are, named as a defendant in various legal proceedings in the normal course of business, including arbitrations, class actions and other litigation involving commercial and employment disputes. Certain of these proceedings include claims for substantial compensatory or punitive damages or claims for indeterminate amounts of damages. We are contesting liability and/or the amount of damages, in each pending matter.

ITEM 2: MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and with our Consolidated Financial Statements and the information under the heading “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” which are included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006.
Lines of Business
We offer our services under three primary lines of business: Industry Solutions, Government Services, and Consulting and Applications Solutions. Industry Solutions, our largest line of business, provides services to our customers primarily under long-term contracts in strategic relationships. These services include technology and business process services, as well as industry domain-based, short-term project and consulting services. The Government Services segment provides infrastructure support, application design and development, consulting, engineering, and technology-based business process solutions for the Department of Defense, the Department of Homeland Security, various federal intelligence agencies, and other governmental agencies. Consulting and Applications Solutions provides software-related services, including the implementation of prepackaged software applications, application development and maintenance, and application systems migration and testing primarily under short-term contracts related to specific projects.
Overview of Our Financial Results for the First Quarter of 2007
Our financial results are affected by a number of factors, including broad economic conditions, the amount and type of technology spending by our customers, and the business strategies and financial condition of our customers and the industries we serve, which could result in increases or decreases in the amount of services that we provide to our customers and the pricing of such services. Our ability to identify and effectively respond to these factors is important to our future financial growth.
We evaluate our consolidated performance on the basis of several performance indicators. The four key performance indicators we use are revenue growth, earnings growth, free cash flow, and the value of contracts signed. We compare these key performance indicators to both annual target amounts established by management and to our performance for prior periods. We establish the targets for these key performance indicators primarily on an annual basis, but we may revise them during the year. We assess our performance using these key indicators on a quarterly and annual basis.
Effect of the End of Our Infrastructure Outsourcing Contract with UBS
UBS AG was our largest customer through December 31, 2006. Our infrastructure outsourcing contract with UBS ended on January 1, 2007. During the first quarter of 2006, our UBS relationship generated $73 million, or 13.5%, of our revenue, which included $65 million of revenue and $14 million of gross profit from our infrastructure outsourcing contract with UBS that ended on January 1, 2007.

PEROT SYSTEMS CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
We continue to provide offshore services to UBS, which are provided outside the scope of the infrastructure outsourcing contract that ended on January 1, 2007. We do not expect significant changes in the offshore services we provide to UBS as a result of the end of the infrastructure outsourcing contract.
Revenue Growth
Revenue growth is a measure of the growth we generate through sales of services to new customers, retention of existing contracts, acquisitions, and discretionary services from existing customers. Revenue for the first quarter of 2007 grew by 8.9% as compared to the first quarter of 2006. As discussed in more detail below, this revenue growth came primarily from the following:
  Revenue from a company acquired during the first quarter of 2007 and a company acquired during the first quarter of 2006 for which we did not recognize a full quarter of revenue during the first quarter of 2006.
  A net increase in revenue from the expansion of base services and discretionary technology investments by our existing long-term customers.
  Revenue from new contracts signed during the twelve-month period following the first quarter of 2006 and from new contracts signed in the first quarter of 2006 for which we did not recognize a full quarter of revenue.
Partially offsetting these increases in revenue was the loss of revenue from our infrastructure outsourcing contract with UBS that ended on January 1, 2007.
Earnings Growth
We measure earnings growth using diluted earnings per share, which is a measure of our effectiveness in delivering profitable growth. Diluted earnings per share was $0.19 for the first quarters of 2007 and 2006 and include the following underlying changes:
  Profits from our infrastructure outsourcing contract with UBS decreased by $14 million in 2007 as compared to 2006 as a result of the end of the UBS contract. The loss from this infrastructure outsourcing contract resulted in a decrease in earnings of approximately $0.07 per diluted share.
  This decrease was partially offset by an overall net increase in profitability from existing commercial customer contracts, including two contracts that were modified in the third quarter and fourth quarter of 2006.
  Additionally, in the first quarter of 2007, we reduced an income tax valuation allowance by $2 million, which resulted in a benefit of approximately $0.02 per diluted share.
Free Cash Flow
We calculate free cash flow on a trailing twelve month basis as net cash provided by operating activities less purchases of property, equipment and purchased software, as stated in our condensed consolidated statements of cash flows. We use free cash flow as a measure of our ability to generate cash for both our short-term and long-term operating and business expansion needs. We use a twelve-month period to measure our success in this area because of the significant variations that typically occur on a quarterly basis due to the timing of certain cash payments. Free cash flow for the twelve months ended March 31, 2007, was $75 million as compared to $87 million for the twelve months ended March 31, 2006. Free cash flow, which is a non-GAAP measure, can be reconciled to “Net cash provided by operating activities” as follows (in millions):

PEROT SYSTEMS CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
As discussed below under “Liquidity and Capital Resources,” the increase in purchases of property, equipment and purchased software was primarily related to our business expansion needs for data center and office facilities.
TCV of Contracts Signed
The amount of “Total Contract Value” (commonly referred to as TCV) that we sell during a twelve-month period is a measure of our success in capturing new business in the various outsourcing and consulting markets in which we provide services and includes contracts with new customers and contracts for new services with existing customers. We measure TCV as our estimate of the total expected revenue from contracts that are expected to generate revenue in excess of a defined amount during a contract term that exceeds a defined length of time.
Various factors may impact the timing of the signing of contracts with customers, including the complexity of the contract, competitive pressures, and customer demands. As a result, we generally measure our success in this area over a twelve-month period because of the significant variations that typically occur in the amount of TCV signed during each quarterly period. During the twelve-month period ending March 31, 2007, the amount of TCV signed was $1.8 billion, as compared to $1.9 billion for the twelve-month period ending March 31, 2006.
Additional Measurements
Each of our three primary lines of business has distinct economic factors, business trends, and risks that could affect our results of operations. As a result, in addition to the four metrics discussed above that we use to measure our consolidated financial performance, we use similar metrics for each of these lines of business and for certain industry groups and operating units within these lines of business.
Comparison of the Three Months Ended March 31, 2007 and 2006
Revenue
Revenue for the first quarter of 2007 increased from revenue for the first quarter of 2006 across all segments. Below is a summary of our revenue for the first quarter of 2007 as compared to the first quarter of 2006 (amounts in millions):
                                 
    Three Months Ended March 31  
    2007     2006     $ Change     % Change  
Industry Solutions
  $ 424     $ 418     $ 6       1.4 %
Government Services

Consulting and Applications Solutions

Total
  $ 590     $ 542     $ 48       8.9 %
 
                         
Industry Solutions
The net increase in revenue from the Industry Solutions segment for the first quarter of 2007 as compared to the first quarter of 2006 was primarily attributable to:
  $37 million net increase from existing accounts and short-term project work. This net increase resulted from expanding our base services to existing long-term customers and from providing additional discretionary services to these customers. The discretionary services that we provide, which include short-term project work, can vary from period-to-period depending on many factors, including specific customer and industry needs and economic conditions. This increase was primarily related to contracts in the healthcare industry.
  $24 million increase from new contracts signed during the twelve-month period following the first quarter of 2006 and from new contracts signed in the first quarter of 2006 for which we did not recognize a full quarter of revenue in 2006. This increase was composed of $17 million and $7 million from new contracts signed in the Healthcare and Commercial Solutions groups,

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
    respectively. The services that we are providing to these new customers are primarily the same services that we provide to the majority of our other long-term outsourcing customers.
 
  $9 million increase from revenue related to an acquisition within our Commercial Solutions group during the first quarter of 2006 for which we did not recognize a full quarter of revenue in 2006. The acquired company is a provider of product engineering outsourcing services.
Partially offsetting these increases in revenue was a $64 million decrease in revenue from the expiration of our infrastructure outsourcing contract with UBS on January 1, 2007.
Net increases in revenue from contracts in the healthcare industry are largely due to changes in the healthcare industry, which has required increased system investment by our customers and new customers. Because of the complexities associated with system changes, combined with our customers’ desire to focus on core functions, the healthcare outsourcing market has experienced increased levels of business. The strength in healthcare revenue comes primarily from two factors:
  Our solutions for the healthcare market were developed over several years and are highly customized to the specific business needs of the market. We identified certain aspects of the healthcare market as core to our long-term service offerings several years ago when the market for technology and business process services was immature. As a result, we have an established presence and brand, which we have strengthened primarily through internal investments in software and solutions.
  The healthcare industry continues to be in a state of change as health systems look to transform their clinical and administrative back-office operations, payer organizations work to develop new consumer-based health models, and as the rate of medical cost inflation continues to be high. Clinical transformation revolutionizes the way in which the healthcare provider community uses information technology to automate the clinical process resulting in improvements in both healthcare quality and efficiency.
Government Services
The $38 million, or 50.0%, net increase in revenue from the Government Services segment for the first quarter of 2007 as compared to the first quarter of 2006 was primarily attributable to the $42 million in revenue from the acquisition of QSS Group, Inc. (QSS), an information technology services company providing services to the U.S. federal government. This increase in revenue was partially offset by a loss of a recompete contract and a decrease in project work associated with our support of the Department of Defense. Our business with the federal government will fluctuate due to annual federal funding limits and the specific needs of the federal agencies we serve.
Consulting and Applications Solutions
Revenue from the Consulting and Applications Solutions segment of $52 million for the first quarter of 2007, net of the elimination of intersegment revenue of $19 million, increased $4 million as compared to revenue of $48 million for the first quarter of 2006, net of the elimination of intersegment revenue of $11 million. This net increase was primarily attributable to an increase in the demand for application development and maintenance services from existing customers in the financial services industry. Partially offsetting this increase was a decrease in revenue from the implementation of prepackaged software applications. Intersegment revenue relates to the provision of services by the Consulting and Applications Solutions segment to the Industry Solutions and Government Services segments.
Gross Margin
Gross margin, which is calculated as gross profit divided by revenue, for the first quarter of 2007 was 17.8% of revenue, which is lower than the gross margin for the first quarter of 2006 of 18.3%. This year-to-year decrease in gross margin was primarily due to the following:
  In the first quarter of 2007, we acquired QSS within our Government Services group. The gross margins associated with the acquisition are typically lower than those we realize within our consolidated margins because of the cost plus nature of their work.

PEROT SYSTEMS CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
  A $14 million decrease in gross profit from the expiration of our infrastructure outsourcing contract with UBS that is reported within the Industry Solutions line of business.
Partially offsetting these decreases were an overall net increase in profitability for existing commercial customer contracts, including two contracts that were modified in the third quarter and fourth quarter of 2006, and a reduction to incentive compensation expense.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Selling, general and administrative expenses for the first quarter of 2007 increased 10.9% to $71 million from $64 million for the first quarter of 2006. As a percentage of revenue, SG&A for the first quarter of 2007 was 12.0% of revenue, which is slightly higher than SG&A for the first quarter of 2006 of 11.8% of revenue. The increase in expense was primarily due to an increase in amortization of intangible assets related to the QSS acquisition.
Other Income Statement Items
Our effective tax rate for the first quarter of 2007 was 32.4% as compared to 36.1% for the first quarter of 2006. Income tax expense for the first quarter of 2007 included a $2 million tax benefit from the reduction of a valuation allowance against our deferred tax assets in Europe, partially offset by the effect of increased taxes from the expiration of one of our tax holidays in India and increased state income taxes as a result of the Texas margin tax and the acquisition of QSS, which operates in several high-tax states. Income tax expense for the first quarter of 2006 included tax expense of $1 million relating to the resolution of several tax issues raised in an audit by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), including the impact from similar tax issues in open tax years.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
At March 31, 2007, we have cash and cash equivalents of $145 million and short-term investments of $21 million. We believe our existing cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, expected cash flows from operating activities, and the $123 million that is available under our restated and amended credit facility, will provide us sufficient funds to meet our operating needs for the foreseeable future. During the three months ended March 31, 2007, cash and cash equivalents decreased 42.0% to $145 million from $250 million at December 31, 2006, primarily due to our acquisition of QSS.
Operating Activities
Net cash used in operating activities was $38 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007, as compared to net cash provided by operating activities of $3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2006. This decrease was primarily attributable to the following:
  Cash provided by changes in accounts payable and accrued liabilities was $2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007, as compared to cash provided of $19 million for the same period of the prior year. This decrease is primarily due to the timing of vendor payments.
  During the three months ended March 31, 2007, there was a decrease of $13 million in deferred revenue received from clients as compared to the same period in 2006.
  Bonuses paid to associates under our bonus plans in the first quarters of 2007 and 2006 (including payments of annual bonuses relating to the previous year’s bonus plan) were $42 million and $53 million, respectively. Included in these bonus amounts paid were approximately $6 million and $23 million of bonus payments that are reimbursable by our customers. The amount of bonuses that we pay each year is based on several factors, including our financial performance and management’s discretion.
Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities was $154 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007, as compared to net cash used in investing activities of $38 million for the same period in 2006. This change was primarily attributable to the following:

Table of Contents

PEROT SYSTEMS CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
  During the three months ended March 31, 2007, we paid $244 million, net of cash acquired, for the acquisition of QSS, an information technology services company providing services to the U.S. federal government.
  During the three months ended March 31, 2007, we liquidated short-term investments of $112 million, net.
  During the three months ended March 31, 2007, we purchased $21 million of property, equipment and purchased software as compared to $17 million during the three months ended March 31, 2006. This increase was primarily related to our business expansion needs for data center and office facilities.
  During the three months ended March 31, 2006, we paid $21 million for the acquisition of eServ LLC, a leading provider of high-end product engineering outsourcing services.
Financing Activities
Net cash provided by financing activities was $86 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007, as compared to net cash provided by financing activities of $13 million for the three months ended March 31, 2006. This increase was primarily due to the additional $75 million borrowed against our restated and amended credit facility in connection with our acquisition of QSS.
We routinely maintain cash balances in certain European and Asian currencies to fund operations in those regions. During the three months ended March 31, 2007, foreign exchange rate fluctuations had a net positive impact on our non-domestic cash balances of $1 million, as the U.S. dollar weakened against the Indian Rupee, Euro, Singapore Dollar, and other currencies. We manage foreign exchange exposures that are likely to significantly impact net income or working capital. At March 31, 2007, we had forward contracts to purchase and sell various currencies in the amount of $85 million, which expire at various times before the end of 2008.
Contractual Obligations
We have contractual obligations for operating leases, long-term debt, and interest on long-term debt that were summarized in a table of Contractual Obligations in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006. Since December 31, 2006, there have been no material changes to the contractual obligations of the company, outside of the ordinary course of business, except for our liability for unrecognized tax benefits. As discussed in Note 9, “Income Taxes” of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, we adopted the provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes — an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109” as of January 1, 2007. At March 31, 2007, we had a liability for unrecognized tax benefits and payment of related interest totaling $15 million, all of which is expected to be paid after one year. We are unable to make a reasonably reliable estimate when cash settlement with a taxing liability will occur.
Significant accounting standards to be adopted
FASB Statement No. 157
In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Financial Accounting Standard (FAS) No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements,” which provides guidance for using fair value to measure assets and liabilities. FAS 157 will apply whenever another standard requires or permits assets or liabilities to be measured at fair value. The standard does not expand the use of fair value to any new circumstances. FAS 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. Our adoption of FAS 157 is not expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
FASB Statement No. 159
In February 2007, the FASB issued FAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities-Including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115,” which expands the use of fair value accounting but does not affect existing standards which require assets and liabilities to be carried at fair value. Under FAS 159, a company may elect to use fair value to measure accounts and loans receivable, available-for-sale and held-to-maturity securities, equity method investments, accounts payable, guarantees, issued debt and other eligible financial instruments. FAS 159 is effective for years beginning after November 15, 2007. Our adoption of FAS 159 is not expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

ITEM 3: QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
For a discussion of our market risk associated with foreign currencies as of December 31, 2006, see “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk” in Part II, Item 7A, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year then ended.
On February 15, 2007, we entered into an interest rate swap agreement that effectively converts $75 million of the $152 million of borrowings under our credit facility from a variable-rate instrument to a fixed-rate instrument with an interest rate of 5.64% in order to manage our interest rate risk. Using sensitivity analysis, a hypothetical increase of 10% in the interest rate would increase our net expense by approximately $407 thousand for the year ended December 31, 2007.

As of the end of the period covered by this report, an evaluation was carried out by our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934). Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that these disclosure controls and procedures were effective.
There were no changes in internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that occurred during our most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, internal control over financial reporting.
PART II: OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
We are, from time to time, involved in various litigation matters. We do not believe that the outcome of the litigation matters in which we are currently a party, either individually or taken as a whole, will have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. However, we cannot predict with certainty any eventual loss or range of possible loss related to such matters.
We currently purchase and intend to continue to purchase the types and amounts of insurance coverage customary for the industry and geographies in which we operate. We have evaluated our risk and consider the coverage we carry to be adequate both in type and amount for the business we conduct.
IPO Allocation Securities Litigation
In July and August 2001, we, as well as some of our current and former officers and directors and the investment banks that underwrote our initial public offering, were named as defendants in two purported class action lawsuits seeking unspecified damages for alleged violations of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and the Securities Act of 1933. Theses cases focus on alleged improper practices of investment banks. Our case has been consolidated for pretrial purposes with approximately 300 similar cases in the IPO Allocation Securities Litigation. We have accepted a settlement proposal presented to all issuer defendants under which plaintiffs would dismiss and release all claims against all issuer defendants, in exchange for an assurance by the insurance companies collectively responsible for insuring the issuers in all of the IPO cases that the plaintiffs will achieve a minimum recovery of $1 billion (including amounts recovered from the underwriters). On April 24, 2006, the court held a fairness hearing with respect to the proposed settlement, but has not yet issued a ruling.
In December 2006, the Second Circuit Court of Appeals vacated the class certifications in the IPO class action test cases, finding the predominance of common questions over individual questions that is required for class certification cannot be met by those plaintiffs. The Second Circuit has denied plaintiff’s petition for a rehearing.
