Item 2.02                                            Results of Operations and Financial Condition.

 

We are filing this Report to correct two calculation errors that we discovered pertaining to percentage increases in our organic revenue growth; these corrections did not and do not affect our financial statements as reported.

 

We have disclosed on occasion, including during our third-quarter fiscal 2005 earnings conference call of September 29, 2005, that our organic revenue growth percentage, excluding acquisitions and reimbursable expenses, for the first three quarters of fiscal 2005 was approximately 32 percent.  Our organic revenue growth percentage, excluding acquisitions and reimbursable expenses, for the first three quarters of fiscal 2005 was approximately 18 percent.  Our disclosure that our organic revenue growth percentage, excluding acquisitions and reimbursable expenses, for the third quarter of fiscal 2005 was approximately 13 percent was correct.

 

We have also disclosed on occasion, including during our second-quarter fiscal 2005 earnings conference call of June 9, 2005, that our organic revenue growth percentage, excluding acquisitions and excluding our NeuCo subsidiary, for the second quarter of fiscal 2005 was nearly 21 percent.  Our organic revenue growth percentage, excluding acquisitions and excluding our NeuCo subsidiary, for the second quarter of fiscal 2005 was approximately 16 percent.  Our disclosure that our organic revenue growth percentage, excluding acquisitions and excluding our NeuCo subsidiary, for the first quarter of fiscal 2005 was over 25 percent was correct (our organic revenue growth percentage, excluding acquisitions and excluding our NeuCo subsidiary, for the first quarter of 2005 was approximately 28 percent). 

 

Our disclosures regarding our consolidated revenue growth percentages of approximately 60 percent for the first quarter of fiscal 2005, approximately 48 percent for the second quarter of fiscal 2005, and approximately 25 percent for the third quarter of fiscal 2005 were correct as reported.  Our organic revenue growth percentage has not been disclosed in our published consolidated financial statements that are included in our Form 10-Q reports filed during fiscal 2005.  Accordingly, our fiscal 2005 consolidated financial statements are correct as filed.

 

The information contained in this Report shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that Section, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933 or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, except as expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing.
