(Unaudited) (1) BASIS OF PRESENTATION GP Strategies Corporation ("the Company") was incorporated in Delaware in 1959. As of September 30, 2005, the Company's business consists of its training and workforce development business operated by General Physics Corporation ("General Physics" or "GP"). General Physics is a workforce development company that seeks to improve the effectiveness of organizations by providing training, management consulting, e-Learning solutions and engineering services that are customized to meet the specific needs of clients. On September 30, 2005, the Company completed a taxable spin-off of its 57% interest in GSE Systems Inc. ("GSE") through a dividend to the Company's stockholders. GSE is a stand alone public company which provides simulation solutions and services to energy, process and manufacturing industries worldwide. On September 30, 2005, stockholders received in the spin-off 0.283075 shares of GSE common stock for each share of the Company's common stock or Class B stock held on the record date of September 19, 2005. Following the spin-off, the Company ceased to have any ownership interest in GSE and the operations of GSE have been reclassified as discontinued in the Company's condensed consolidated statements of operations for all periods presented (see note 4). The Company will continue to provide corporate support services to GSE, including accounting, finance, human resources, legal, network support and tax, pursuant to a management services agreement, which has been extended through December 31, 2005 (see notes 4 and 10). On November 24, 2004, the Company completed the tax-free spin-off of National Patent Development Corporation ("NPDC"). Subsequent to the spin-off, the results of operations of NPDC are presented as discontinued in the Company's condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2004. The condensed consolidated financial statements include the operations of the Company and its majority-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. The accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2005, the condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005, and the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 have not been audited, but have been prepared in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2004 as presented in our Annual Report on Form 10-K/A dated May 16, 2005. In the opinion of management, this interim information includes all material adjustments, which are of a normal and recurring nature, necessary for a fair presentation. The results for the 2005 interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the entire year. Certain amounts for 2004 have been reclassified to conform with the presentation for 2005. In September 2005 in conjunction with the spin-off of GSE, the Company identified an amount in its deferred tax assets that related to the excess tax basis over book basis of its investment in GSE. This deferred tax asset should have been eliminated in purchase accounting when the Company increased its ownership interest in GSE to 57% in October 2003. The Company has reclassified $1.5 million from noncurrent deferred tax assets to goodwill in its December 31, 2004 condensed consolidated balance sheet herein. The Company determined the reclassification had a deminimus impact on the results of the Company's operations for all periods subsequent to October 2003 and was not material quantitatively or qualitatively to the consolidated financial statements taken as a whole. 4 GP STRATEGIES CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements Three and nine months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004 (Unaudited) (2) INCOME PER SHARE Basic income per share is based upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding, including Class B stock, during the periods. Class B stockholders have the same rights to share in profits and losses and liquidation values as common stockholders. Diluted income per share is based upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period assuming the issuance of common stock for all potential dilutive common stock equivalents outstanding. Income per share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004 is as follows (in thousands, except per share data): THREE MONTHS ENDED NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, SEPTEMBER 30, ------------------ ----------------- 2005 2004 2005 2004 ------- -------- ------- ------ INCOME (LOSS) USED IN COMPUTATION: Income from continuing operations $ 1,459 $ 600 $ 3,742 $ 616 Income (loss) from discontinued operations (417) (171) (1,012) 337 ------- ------- ------- ------- Net income $ 1,042 $ 429 $ 2,730 $ 953 ======= ======= ======= ======= SHARES USED IN COMPUTATION: Basic weighted average shares outstanding 18,260 17,694 18,105 17,628 Dilutive impact of stock options, warrants and non-vested restricted stock units 731 511 811 530 ------- ------- ------- ------- Diluted weighted average shares outstanding 18,991 18,205 18,916 18,158 ======= ======= ======= ======= INCOME (LOSS) PER COMMON SHARE: Basic Income from continuing operations $ 0.08 $ 0.03 $ 0.21 $ 0.03 Income (loss) from discontinued operations (0.02) (0.01) (0.06) 0.02 ------- ------- ------- ------- Net income $ 0.06 $ 0.02 $ 0.15 $ 0.05 ======= ======= ======= ======= Diluted Income from continuing operations $ 0.07 $ 0.03 $ 0.20 $ 0.03 Income (loss) from discontinued operations (0.02) (0.01) (0.06) 0.02 ------- ------- ------- ------- Net income $ 0.05 $ 0.02 $ 0.14 $ 0.05 ======= ======= ======= ======= 5 GP STRATEGIES CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements Three and nine months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004 (Unaudited) For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005, stock options, warrants, and convertible notes totaling 574,000 shares for both periods were not dilutive and were excluded from the computation of diluted income per share. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2004, stock options, warrants, and convertible notes totaling 3,042,000 shares and 3,023,000 shares, respectively, were not dilutive and were excluded from the computation of diluted income per share. The difference between the basic and diluted number of weighted average shares outstanding for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004 represents dilutive stock options and warrants, computed under the treasury stock method using the average market price during the period. The difference between the basic and diluted number of weighted average shares outstanding for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005 also includes dilutive non-vested restricted stock awards granted during 2005, computed under the treasury stock method using average market price. (3) STOCK BASED COMPENSATION The Company applies the intrinsic-value-based method of accounting prescribed by Accounting Principles Board ("APB") Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and related interpretations including Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Interpretation No. 44, Accounting for Certain Transactions Involving Stock Compensation, an interpretation of APB Opinion No. 25, to account for its fixed-plan stock options. Under this method, compensation expense is recorded on the date of grant only if the current market price of the underlying stock exceeds the exercise price of the options. Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, as amended, established accounting and disclosure requirements using a fair-value-based method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation plans. As allowed by SFAS No. 123, the Company has elected to continue to apply the intrinsic-value-based method of accounting described above, and has adopted only the disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 123. The following table illustrates the effect on net income if the fair-value-based method had been applied to all outstanding and unvested awards for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004 (in thousands, except per share data): 6 GP STRATEGIES CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements Three and nine months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004 (Unaudited) THREE MONTHS ENDED NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, SEPTEMBER 30, ------------------ ----------------- 2005 2004 2005 2004 ------ ----- ------ ----- Net income - as reported $1,042 $ 429 $2,730 $ 953 Add: stock-based compensation expense determined under intrinsic value method and included in reported net income, net of tax 90 6 125 18 Deduct: stock-based compensation expense determined under the fair value based method for all awards, net of tax (140) (37) (310) (212) ------ ----- ------ ----- Pro forma net income $ 992 $ 398 $2,545 $ 759 ====== ===== ====== ===== Net income per share: Basic - as reported $ 0.06 $0.02 $ 0.15 $0.05 Basic - pro forma $ 0.05 $0.02 $ 0.14 $0.04 Diluted - as reported $ 0.05 $0.02 $ 0.14 $0.05 Diluted - pro forma $ 0.05 $0.02 $ 0.13 $0.04 The Company granted 1,000 options during the first quarter of 2005 and no options during the second and third quarters of 2005. The per share weighted-average fair value of the Company's stock options granted during the nine months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004 were $3.35 and $1.46, respectively, on the date of grant using the modified Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions: NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, --------------------- 2005 2004 --------- --------- Expected dividend yield 0% 0% Risk-free interest rate 3.56% 1.69% Expected volatility 53.51% 34.08% Expected life 4.0 years 2.0 years In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123 - Revised, Share-Based Payment, which changed the accounting for stock-based compensation to require companies to expense stock options and other equity awards based on their grant-date fair values. SFAS No. 123R is discussed in more detail in Note 12, Accounting Standard Issued. 7 GP STRATEGIES CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements Three and nine months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004 (Unaudited) (4) DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS In accordance with SFAS No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets (SFAS No. 144), discontinued businesses are removed from the results of continuing operations and are classified as discontinued operations in the consolidated statements of operations through the effective date of disposal. The following table sets forth the components of income (loss) from discontinued operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004 (in thousands): THREE MONTHS ENDED NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, SEPTEMBER 30, ------------------ ------------------ 2005 2004 2005 2004 ------- ------- ------- -------- Revenue $ 4,607 $36,079 $17,617 $109,962 Operating income (loss) (1,232) 3 (2,392) 1,881 Interest expense 180 308 251 1,080 Income tax benefit (expense) (30) 56 (63) (466) Income (loss) from discontinued operations, net of income taxes (417) (171) (1,012) 337 Discontinued operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005 include the results of GSE, which was distributed to the Company's shareholders in connection with the spin-off effective September 30, 2005. Discontinued operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2004 include the results of GSE as well as the results of MXL Industries, Inc., Five Star Products, Inc., and certain other non-core assets, which were distributed to NPDC in connection with the spin-off effective November 24, 2004. In accordance with SFAS No. 144, only those costs that are solely attributable to the discontinued business segments have been allocated to discontinued operations. Accordingly, the results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004 include overhead expenses that were incurred for the benefit of the Company's continuing and discontinued operations, which are included in continuing operations. The Company will continue to provide corporate support services to GSE, including accounting, finance, human resources, legal, network support and tax, pursuant to a management services agreement which was extended through December 31, 2005 (see note 10). For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005, the Company recorded revenues for these services of $196,000 and $525,000, respectively. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2004, the Company recorded revenues for these services of $144,000 and $450,000, respectively. The revenues and expenses related to these services which were intercompany transactions prior to the spin-off were eliminated in the Company's consolidated financial statements. 8 GP STRATEGIES CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements Three and nine months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004 (Unaudited) The following table summarizes the carrying amount of the assets and liabilities of GSE as of September 30, 2005, which are no longer consolidated with the Company effective with the spin-off (in thousands): Assets: Cash and cash equivalents $ 804 Accounts and other receivables 2,487 Costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts 5,428 Prepaid expenses and other current assets 983 Property, plant and equipment, net 314 Goodwill and other assets 7,487 ------- Total assets 17,503 ------- Liabilities: Accounts payable and accrued expenses 5,224 Short-term borrowings 1,182 Billings in excess of costs and estimated earnings on uncompleted contracts 848 Long-term debt 782 Minority interest and other liabilities 2,685 ------- Total liabilities 10,721 ------- Net assets of GSE distributed in spin-off $ 6,782 ======= As of September 30, 2005, GSE had borrowings of $1,182,000 and a letter of credit for $10,000 under General Physics' Credit Agreement (see note 6), under which $1,500,000 was allocated for use by GSE. The Company guarantees GSE's borrowings under the Credit Agreement through August 13, 2006. 9 GP STRATEGIES CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements Three and nine months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004 (Unaudited) (5) LONG-TERM DEBT Long-term debt consists of the following (in thousands): SEPTEMBER 30, DECEMBER 31, 2005 2004 ------------- ------------ 6% conditional subordinated notes due 2008 (a) $ 7,500 $ 7,500 ManTech Note (b) 5,251 5,251 Other 117 190 ------- ------- 12,868 12,941 Less warrant related discount, net of accretion (1,574) (1,890) ------- ------- 11,294 11,051 Less current maturities (87) (100) ------- ------- $11,207 $10,951 ======= ======= (a) Pursuant to a Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement dated August 8, 2003, the Company issued and sold to four Gabelli Funds $7,500,000 aggregate principal amount of 6% Conditional Subordinated Notes due August 2008 (the "Gabelli Notes") and 937,500 warrants ("GP Warrants"), each entitling the holder thereof to purchase (subject to adjustment) one share of the Company's common stock. The aggregate purchase price for the Gabelli Notes and GP Warrants was $7,500,000. The Gabelli Notes bear interest at 6% per annum payable semi-annually and are secured by a mortgage on the Company's former property located in Pawling, New York, which was distributed to NPDC. In addition, at any time that less than $1,875,000 of the principal amount of the Gabelli Notes are outstanding, the Company may defease the obligations secured by the mortgage and obtain a release of the mortgage by depositing with an agent for the Noteholders, bonds or government securities with an investment grade rating by a nationally recognized rating agency which, without reinvestment, will provide cash on the maturity date of the Gabelli Notes in an amount not less than the outstanding principal amount of the Gabelli Notes. The GP Warrants have an exercise price of $5.85 per share, as amended following the spin-offs of NPDC and GSE, and are exercisable at any time until August 2008. The exercise price may be paid in cash, by delivery of the Gabelli Notes, or a combination of the two. The GP Warrants contain anti-dilution provisions for stock splits, reorganizations, mergers and similar transactions. The fair value of the GP Warrants at the date of issuance was $2,389,000, which reduced long-term debt in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. This amount is being accreted as additional interest expense using the effective interest rate over the term of the Gabelli Notes. The Gabelli Notes have a yield to maturity of 15.436% based on the discounted value. Accretion charged as interest expense was approximately $110,000 and $95,000 for the three months ended September 10 GP STRATEGIES CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements Three and nine months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004 (Unaudited) 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively, and approximately $316,000 and $279,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively. (b) The Company has a five-year 5% note due in full on October 21, 2008 in the principal amount of $5,250,955 to ManTech International. Interest is payable quarterly. Each year during the term of the note, the holder of the note has the option to convert up to 20% of the original principal amount of the note into common stock of the Company at the then market price of the Company's common stock, but only in the event that the Company's common stock is trading at $10 per share or more. In the event that less than 20% of the principal amount of the note is not converted in any year, such amount not converted will be eligible for conversion in each subsequent year until converted or until the note is repaid in cash. (6) SHORT-TERM BORROWINGS General Physics has a three-year $25 million Financing and Security Agreement (the "Credit Agreement") for which $1,500,000 is allocated for use by GSE, with a bank that expires on August 13, 2006 with annual renewal options. The Credit Agreement is secured by certain assets of General Physics and provides for an unsecured guaranty from the Company. The interest rate on the Credit Agreement is at the daily LIBOR market index rate plus 3%, which as of September 30, 2005 was approximately 6.84%. Based upon the financial performance of General Physics, the interest rate can be reduced. The Credit Agreement contains covenants with respect to General Physics' minimum tangible net worth, leverage ratio, interest coverage ratio and its ability to make capital expenditures. General Physics was in compliance with all loan covenants under the Credit Agreement as of September 30, 2005. The Credit Agreement also contains certain restrictive covenants including a prohibition on future acquisitions, incurrence of debt and the payment of dividends. General Physics is currently restricted from paying dividends or management fees to the Company in excess of $1,000,000 in any fiscal year. The Company repaid in full the $6,068,000 outstanding under the Credit Agreement as of December 31, 2004 in the first quarter of 2005, using the proceeds received from the arbitration settlement as discussed in more detail in Note 9, Litigation. As of September 30, 2005, the Company had no borrowings outstanding under the Credit Agreement and there was approximately $19,313,000 of available borrowings based upon 80% of eligible accounts receivable and 80% of eligible unbilled receivables. 11 GP STRATEGIES CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements Three and nine months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004 (Unaudited) (7) COMPREHENSIVE INCOME The following are the components of comprehensive income (loss) (in thousands): THREE MONTHS ENDED NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, SEPTEMBER 30, ------------------ ----------------- 2005 2004 2005 2004 ------ ----- ------ ------- Net income $1,042 $ 429 $2,730 $ 953 Other comprehensive income (loss) before income tax expense: Net unrealized gain (loss) on available-for-sale securities 7 (877) 1 (1,703) Net unrealized loss on interest rate swap -- (165) -- (116) Foreign currency translation adjustment (309) 53 (400) (59) ------ ----- ------ ------- 740 (560) 2,331 (925) Income tax benefit (expense) relating to items of other comprehensive income (loss) (2) 406 -- 709 ------ ----- ------ ------- Comprehensive income (loss), net of tax $ 738 $(154) $2,331 $ (216) ====== ===== ====== ======= The components of accumulated other comprehensive loss are as follows (in thousands): SEPTEMBER 30, DECEMBER 31, 2005 2004 ------------- ------------ Net unrealized gain on available-for-sale securities $ 21 20 Foreign currency translation adjustment (1,081) (773) ------- ---- Accumulated other comprehensive loss before tax (1,060) (753) Accumulated income tax expense related to unrealized gain on available-for-sale securities (8) (8) ------- ---- Accumulated other comprehensive loss, net of tax $(1,068) (761) ======= ==== 12 GP STRATEGIES CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements Three and nine months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004 (Unaudited) (8) BUSINESS SEGMENTS During the second quarter of 2005, the Company re-evaluated its reportable business segments under SFAS No. 131, Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information, due to the appointment of Scott N. Greenberg as CEO of the Company on April 26, 2005. Based on the information which Mr. Greenberg reviews in order to assess the performance of the Company and make decisions regarding the allocation of resources, the Company determined that General Physics consists of two reportable business segments effective with Mr. Greenberg's appointment as CEO: 1) Process, Energy & Government; and 2) Manufacturing & Business Process Outsourcing (BPO). GSE ceases to be a reportable business segment effective with the spin-off on September 30, 2005 and is reported in discontinued operations in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations. As a result of the change in its reportable business segments, the Company has restated the segment information below for all prior periods presented to conform to the current period's presentation. The Process, Energy & Government segment provides engineering consulting, design and evaluation services regarding facilities, the environment, processes and systems, staff augmentation, curriculum design and development, and training and technical services primarily to federal and state governmental agencies, large government contractors, petroleum and chemical refining companies, and electric power utilities. The Manufacturing & BPO segment provides training, curriculum design and development, staff augmentation, system hosting, integration and help desk support, business process outsourcing, and consulting and technical services to large companies in the automotive, pharmaceutical, electronics, and other industries as well as to governmental clients. The Company does not allocate the following corporate items to the segments: other income and interest expense; selling, general and administrative expense; and income tax expense. Inter-segment revenue is eliminated in consolidation and is not significant. 13 GP STRATEGIES CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements Three and nine months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004 (Unaudited) The following tables set forth the revenue and operating income of each of the Company's operating segments and includes a reconciliation of segment revenue to consolidated revenue and operating income to consolidated income from continuing operations before income taxes (in thousands): THREE MONTHS ENDED NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, SEPTEMBER 30, ------------------ ------------------- 2005 2004 2005 2004 ------- -------- -------- -------- REVENUE: Process, Energy & Government $21,924 $21,086 $ 65,025 $ 59,329 Manufacturing & BPO 22,331 23,236 66,778 59,935 Elimination of intercompany revenue (196) (144) (525) (450) ------- ------- -------- -------- $44,059 $44,178 $131,278 $118,814 ======= ======= ======== ======== OPERATING INCOME: Process, Energy & Government $ 2,762 $ 2,756 $ 7,841 $ 6,832 Manufacturing & BPO 982 191 2,375 (192) Elimination of intercompany revenue (196) (144) (525) (450) Corporate and other general and administrative expenses (920) (1,271) (2,087) (3,423) ------- ------- -------- -------- 2,628 1,532 7,604 2,767 ------- ------- -------- -------- Interest expense (387) (490) (1,129) (1,470) Other income 87 104 141 321 ------- ------- -------- -------- Income from continuing operations before income tax expense $ 2,328 $ 1,146 $ 6,616 $ 1,618 ======= ======= ======== ======== (9) LITIGATION On January 3, 2001, the Company commenced an action alleging that MCI Communications Corporation ("MCI"), MCI's Systemhouse subsidiaries ("Systemhouse"), and Electronic Data Systems Corporation, as successor to Systemhouse ("EDS"), committed fraud in connection with the Company's 1998 acquisition of Learning Technologies from the defendants for $24,300,000 in cash. The Company seeks actual damages in the amount of $74,067,044 plus interest, punitive damages in an amount to be determined at trial, and costs, subject to reduction as set forth below. The complaint, which was filed in the New York State Supreme Court, alleges that the defendants fraudulently induced the Company to acquire Learning Technologies by concealing the poor performance of Learning Technologies' United Kingdom operation. The complaint also alleges that the defendants represented that Learning Technologies would continue to receive new business from Systemhouse even though the defendants knew that the sale of Systemhouse to EDS was imminent and that such new business would cease after such sale. In February 2001, the defendants filed answers denying liability. No counterclaims against the plaintiffs have been asserted. Although discovery had not yet been completed, defendants made a motion for summary judgment, which was submitted in April 2002. The 14 GP STRATEGIES CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements Three and nine months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004 (Unaudited) motion was denied by the court due to the MCI bankruptcy, but with leave to the other defendants to renew. The defendants other than MCI then made an application to the court to stay the fraud action until the Company and EDS completed a later-commenced arbitration, in which the Company alleged breach of the acquisition agreement and of a separate agreement to refer business to General Physics on a preferred provider basis and seeking actual damages in the amount of $17,600,000 plus interest. In a decision dated May 9, 2003, the court granted the motion and stayed the fraud action pending the outcome of the arbitration. The arbitration hearings began on May 17, 2004 and concluded on May 24, 2004 before JAMS, a private dispute resolution firm. On September 10, 2004, the arbitrator issued an interim award in which she found that the sellers of Learning Technologies breached certain representations and warranties contained in the acquisition agreement. In a final award dated November 29, 2004, the arbitrator awarded General Physics $12,273,575 in damages and $6,016,109 in pre-award interest. (The damages sought in the litigation are subject to reduction by the $12,273,575 in damages awarded in the arbitration.) On December 30, 2004, EDS made a payment of $18,428,486, which included $138,802 of post-award interest, to General Physics to satisfy its obligation under the arbitration award, which cash was held in escrow as of December 31, 2004. EDS subsequently agreed that the arbitration award was final and binding and that it would take no steps of any kind to vacate or otherwise challenge the award. As a result of the foregoing, the Company recognized a gain on the arbitration award, net of legal fees and expenses, of $13,660,000 in 2004. As a result of the conclusion of the arbitration, the state court lifted the stay of the fraud claim against the defendants other than MCI. On February 14, 2005, such defendants filed a new motion for summary judgment dismissing the Company's fraud claim against them. The Company opposed the motion, which was argued on April 4, 2005. On June 6, 2005, the court issued a decision on the motion for summary judgment refusing to dismiss the Company's claims against EDS and Systemhouse relating to false representations concerning the financial condition of Learning Technologies' United Kingdom operation and held that the Company had presented evidence sufficient to raise triable issues of fact as to whether defendants provided the Company with financial projections which they knew to be false or unreasonable, and made representations or omissions indicating that Learning Technologies' United Kingdom operation was on track to achieve revenue targets which they knew it would be unable to achieve. However, the court dismissed the Company's claim that it had been fraudulently induced to acquire Learning Technologies based on false representations that Systemhouse was not for sale. The Company requested a jury trial. Jury selection has commenced, and the trial is expected to begin the week of November 14, 2005. The fraud action against MCI had been stayed as a result of the bankruptcy of MCI. In February 2004, the Bankruptcy Court lifted the stay so that the state court could rule on the merits of MCI's summary judgment motion. MCI has asked the Bankruptcy Court to reinstate the stay and to rule on its summary judgment motion. The Company has argued that it would be more efficient if the state court ruled on both summary judgment motions. The Bankruptcy Court has not yet decided whether it or the state court should determine MCI's summary judgment motion. In connection with the spin-off of NPDC by the Company, the Company agreed to make an additional capital contribution to NPDC in an amount equal to the first $5,000,000 of any proceeds (net of litigation 15 GP STRATEGIES CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements Three and nine months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004 (Unaudited) expenses and taxes incurred, if any), and 50% of any proceeds (net of litigation expenses and taxes incurred, if any) in excess of $15,000,000, received with respect to the foregoing arbitration and litigation claims. Pursuant to such agreement, in January 2005, the Company made a $5,000,000 distribution to NPDC out of the proceeds of the arbitration award. The net cash proceeds to the Company were approximately $8,500,000 after legal fees and the distribution to NPDC. A portion of such net proceeds was used to reduce to zero the outstanding balance of General Physics' revolving credit facility, which as of December 31, 2004 was $6.1 million. The Company is not a party to any legal proceeding, the outcome of which is believed by management to have a reasonable likelihood of having a material adverse effect upon the financial condition and operating results of the Company. (10) RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS Management Services Agreements Between NPDC and the Company Prior to the spin-off, NPDC was a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. In connection with the spin-off, NPDC entered into a separate management agreement with the Company pursuant to which the Company provides certain general corporate services to NPDC. Corporate Tax, Legal Support, and Executive Management Consulting Services The Company has four associates, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Legal Officer, who also provide services to NPDC under a management services agreement, for which the Company is reimbursed for such services. Services under the agreement relate to corporate federal and state income taxes, corporate legal services, corporate secretarial administrative support, and executive management consulting. The term of the agreement extends for three years from the date of the spin-off, or through November 24, 2007, and may be terminated by either NPDC or the Company on or after July 30, 2006 with 180 days prior written notice. Pursuant to an amendment to the management services agreement effective July 1, 2005, NPDC will pay the Company an annual fee of not less than $969,500 as compensation for these services, payable in equal monthly installments. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005, the Company charged NPDC $242,000 and $899,000, respectively, which is included as a reduction of selling, general and administrative expenses for services under this management agreement. In connection with the spin-off of NPDC, the Company also entered into a separate management agreement with NPDC pursuant to which it was anticipated that the Company would receive certain general corporate services from NPDC. No such services have been required or provided, so the Company and NPDC entered into a termination agreement effective as of July 1, 2005 terminating the management agreement. Corporate Office Lease NPDC continues to occupy a portion of corporate office space leased by the Company. NPDC compensates the Company approximately $205,000 annually for use of this space. The Company's lease extends through December 31, 2006. 16 GP STRATEGIES CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements Three and nine months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004 (Unaudited) Management Services Agreement Between GSE and the Company Pursuant to a management services agreement, the Company provides corporate support services to GSE, including accounting, finance, human resources, legal, network support and tax. GSE pays the Company an annual fee of $685,000 for these services. The management services agreement can be renewed by GSE for successive one-year terms and was renewed through December 31, 2005. Subsequent to the spin-off of GSE effective September 30, 2005, the Company will continue to provide GSE with these corporate support services through the term of the agreement. (11) COMMITMENTS In April 2005, General Physics entered into employment agreements with certain of its officers, resulting in committed compensation of approximately $2.0 million annually. These agreements have employment terms expiring in 2007, provide for grants of restricted stock units pursuant to the Company's 2003 Incentive Stock Plan, and contain non-compete covenants and change of control and termination provisions. (12) ACCOUNTING STANDARD ISSUED In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123 - Revised, Share-Based Payment (SFAS No. 123R), which revises SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, and supersedes APB No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees. Currently, the Company does not record compensation expense for certain stock-based compensation. Under SFAS No. 123R, the Company will measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for stock, based on the grant-date fair value (with limited exceptions) of the stock award. Such cost will be recognized over the period during which the employee is required to provide service in exchange for the stock award (usually the vesting period). The fair value of the stock award will be estimated using an option-pricing model, with excess tax benefits, as defined in SFAS No. 123R, being recognized as an addition to paid in capital. SFAS No. 123R was to be effective as of July 1, 2005. However, based on Final Rule 74 issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission in April 2005, which delayed the implementation of SFAS No. 123R, the Company plans to adopt SFAS No. 123R effective January 1, 2006. The Company expects to adopt SFAS No. 123R using the Modified Prospective Application method without restatement of prior periods. Under this method, the Company will begin to amortize compensation cost for the remaining portion of its outstanding awards on the adoption date for which the requisite service has not yet been rendered. Compensation cost for these awards will be based on the fair value of the awards as disclosed on a pro forma basis under SFAS 123 in Note 3, Stock Based Compensation. The Company will account for awards that are granted, modified, or settled after the adoption date in accordance with SFAS No. 123R. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the impact of SFAS No. 123R on its consolidated financial statements. 17 ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS RESULTS OF OPERATIONS General Overview As of September 30, 2005, the Company's business consists of its training and workforce development business operated by General Physics Corporation ("General Physics" or "GP"). General Physics is a global workforce development company that seeks to improve the effectiveness of organizations by providing training, management consulting, e-Learning solutions and engineering services that are customized to meet the specific needs of clients. On September 30, 2005, the Company completed a taxable spin-off of its 57% interest in GSE Systems Inc. ("GSE") through a dividend to the Company's stockholders. GSE is a stand alone public company which provides simulation solutions and services to energy, process and manufacturing industries worldwide. On September 30, 2005, stockholders received in the spin-off 0.283075 shares of GSE common stock for each share of the Company's common stock or Class B stock held on the record date of September 19, 2005. Following the spin-off, the Company ceased to have any ownership interest in GSE and the operations of GSE have been reclassified as discontinued in the Company's condensed consolidated statements of operations for all periods presented. The Company currently provides corporate support services to GSE, including accounting, finance, human resources, legal, network support and tax, pursuant to a management services agreement which has been extended through December 31, 2005. As of September 30, 2005, GSE had borrowings of $1,182,000 and a letter of credit for $10,000 under General Physics' Credit Agreement, under which $1,500,000 was allocated for use by GSE. The Company guarantees GSE's borrowings under the Credit Agreement through August 13, 2006. During the second quarter of 2005, the Company re-evaluated its reportable business segments under SFAS No. 131, Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information, as a result of Scott N. Greenberg's appointment as CEO of the Company on April 26, 2005. Based on the information which Mr. Greenberg reviews in order to assess the performance of the Company and make decisions regarding the allocation of resources, the Company determined that General Physics consists of two reportable business segments effective with Mr. Greenberg's appointment as CEO: 1) Process, Energy & Government; and 2) Manufacturing & Business Process Outsourcing (BPO). GSE ceases to be a reportable business segment as a result of the spin-off effective September 30, 2005. As a result of the change in the Company's reportable business segments, all prior period information presented herein has been restated to conform to the current period's presentation. The Process, Energy & Government segment provides engineering consulting, design and evaluation services regarding facilities, the environment, processes and systems, staff augmentation, curriculum design and development, and training and technical services primarily to federal and state governmental agencies, large government contractors, petroleum and chemical refining companies, and electric power utilities. The Manufacturing & BPO segment provides training, curriculum design and development, staff augmentation, system hosting, integration and help desk support, business process outsourcing, and consulting and technical services to large companies in the automotive, pharmaceutical, electronics, and other industries as well as to governmental clients. On November 24, 2004, the Company completed the tax-free spin-off of National Patent Development Corporation ("NPDC"). Subsequent to the spin-off, the results of operations of NPDC are presented as discontinued operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2004. General Physics' backlog for services under signed contracts and subcontracts was approximately $89.0 million as of September 30, 2005. 18 Operating Highlights THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2005 COMPARED TO THE THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2004 For the third quarter of 2005, the Company had income from continuing operations before income tax expense of $2,328,000 compared to $1,146,000 for the third quarter of 2004. The improved results were primarily due to increased operating income of $797,000 for General Physics' two business segments, as well as reduced general and administrative expenses at the corporate level. Government revenue accounted for approximately 41% and 59% of General Physics' revenue for the quarters ended September 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively. Revenue THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, ------------------ 2005 2004 ------- ------- (Dollars in Thousands) Process, Energy & Government $21,924 $21,086 Manufacturing & BPO 22,331 23,236 Elimination of intercompany revenue with GSE (196) (144) ------- ------- $44,059 $44,178 ======= ======= Process, Energy & Government segment revenue increased $838,000 or 4.0% during the third quarter of 2005 compared to the same period of 2004. The increase in revenue is primarily due to increased contract scopes with our existing government and energy customers to provide various training and domestic preparedness services. The net increase in revenue was partially offset by a decrease in revenue from certain contracts, primarily for hurricane recovery services provided to the State of Florida totaling $2.2 million during the third quarter of 2004 which did not recur in 2005. Manufacturing & BPO segment revenue decreased $905,000 or 3.9% during the third quarter of 2005 compared to the same period of 2004. The decrease in revenue is primarily due to a change in contract scopes with a business process outsourcing customer during the third quarter of 2005. This net decrease was partially offset by increases in business process outsourcing services provided to several existing customers, increased system implementation and hosting services primarily to the federal government, and increases in other professional development and training courses provided to customers in the manufacturing industry. The Company continues to expand the scope of services provided to business process and training outsource customers. Gross Profit THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, --------------------------------------- 2005 2004 ------------------ ------------------ % Revenue % Revenue --------- --------- (Dollars in thousands) Process, Energy & Government $4,245 19.4% $3,879 18.4% Manufacturing & BPO 2,639 11.8% 1,588 6.8% Elimination of intercompany revenue with GSE (196) -- (144) -- ------ ---- ------ ---- $6,688 15.2% $5,323 12.0% ====== ==== ====== ==== 19 Process, Energy & Government gross profit of $4.2 million or 19.4% of revenue for the third quarter of 2005 increased by $366,000 or 9.4% when compared to gross profit of approximately $3.9 million or 18.4% of revenue for the same period of 2004. This increase in gross profit was primarily driven by an increase in revenue for training services provided to our government and energy customers. The increase in gross profit as a percentage of revenue is primarily due to a decrease in overhead expenses as a percentage of revenue as our infrastructure costs have not increased at the same rate as our contract revenue growth, excluding the decrease in revenue from the non-recurring hurricane recovery services in 2004 as discussed above. Manufacturing & BPO gross profit of $2.6 million or 11.8% of revenue for the third quarter of 2005 increased by $1.1 million or 66.2% when compared to gross profit of approximately $1.6 million or 6.8% of revenue for the same period of 2004. The increase is primarily due to decreased overhead expenses as a percentage of revenue as our infrastructure costs have not increased at the same rate as our contract revenue growth for business process outsourcing and training outsourcing services, excluding the decrease in revenue from the change in contract scopes with a business process outsourcing customer in the third quarter of 2005 as discussed above. Selling, General and Administrative Expense SG&A expenses increased $0.3 million from $3.8 million for the third quarter of 2004 to $4.1 million for the third quarter of 2005. This net increase is primarily related to higher legal fees associated with the EDS litigation incurred during the third quarter of 2005. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in corporate SG&A expenses primarily due to the spin-off of NPDC in November 2004, which were not allocable to discontinued operations. Interest Expense Interest expense decreased $0.1 million from $0.5 million for the third quarter of 2004 to $0.4 million for the third quarter of 2005. The decrease was primarily attributable to General Physics' payoff of its short term borrowings in January 2005. Other Income Other income was $0.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively. Income Taxes Income tax expense was $0.9 million for the third quarter of 2005 compared to $0.5 million for the third quarter of 2004. The Company's effective tax rate was 37.3% and 47.6% for the third quarter of 2005 and 2004, respectively. The increase is primarily due to increased income from continuing operations during the third quarter of 2005. 20 NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2005 COMPARED TO THE NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2004 For the nine months ended September 30, 2005, the Company had income from continuing operations before income tax expense of $6,616,000 compared to $1,618,000 for the same period in 2004. The improved results were primarily due to increased operating income of $3,576,000 for General Physics' two business segments, as well as reduced general and administrative expenses at the corporate level. Government revenue accounted for approximately 40% and 38% of General Physics' revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively. Revenue NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, ------------------- 2005 2004 -------- -------- (Dollars in Thousands) Process, Energy & Government $ 65,025 $ 59,329 Manufacturing & BPO 66,778 59,935 Elimination of intercompany revenue with GSE (525) (450) -------- -------- $131,278 $118,814 ======== ======== Process, Energy & Government segment revenue increased $5.7 million or 9.6% during the nine months ended September 30, 2005 compared to the same period of 2004. The increase in revenue is primarily due to increased contract scopes with our existing government and energy customers to provide various training and domestic preparedness services. The net increase in revenue was partially offset by a decrease in revenue from certain contracts, primarily for hurricane recovery services provided to the state of Florida totaling $2.2 million in 2004, which did not recur in 2005. Manufacturing & BPO segment revenue increased $6.8 million or 11.4% during the nine months ended September 30, 2005 compared to the same period of 2004. The increase is due to an increase in business process outsourcing services provided to customers primarily in the electronics industry, increased system implementation and hosting services primarily to the federal government, and increases in other professional development and training courses provided to customers in the manufacturing industry. The Company continues to expand the scope of services provided to business process and training outsource customers.

This increase in gross profit was primarily driven by an increase in revenue for training services provided to our government and energy customers. The increase in gross profit as a percentage of revenue is primarily due to a decrease in overhead expenses as a percentage of revenue as our infrastructure costs have not increased at the same rate as our contract revenue growth. Manufacturing & BPO gross profit of $7.1 million or 10.6% of revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 increased by $3.1 million or 77.2% when compared to gross profit of approximately $4.0 million or 6.7% of revenue for the same period of 2004. This increase in gross profit was primarily driven by an increase in revenue from business process outsourcing and training outsourcing services. The increase in gross profit as a percentage of revenue is primarily due to a decrease in overhead expenses as a percentage of revenue as our infrastructure costs have not increased at the same rate as our contract revenue growth. Selling, General and Administrative Expense SG&A decreased $0.3 million or 2.4% from $11.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 to $11.0 million for the same period of 2005. This decrease is primarily related to a decrease in corporate SG&A expenses, primarily due to the spin-off of NPDC in November 2004, which were not allocable to discontinued operations. Interest Expense Interest expense decreased $0.4 million from $1.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 to $1.1 million for the same period of 2005. The decrease was primarily attributable to General Physics' payoff of its short term borrowings in January 2005. Other Income Other income was $0.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 compared to $0.3 million for the same period of 2004. Income Taxes Income tax expense increased by approximately $1.9 million from $1.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 to $2.9 million for the same period of 2005. This increase is primarily due to increased income from continuing operations during the nine months ended September 30, 2005 compared to the same period of 2004. The Company's effective tax rate was 43.4% and 61.9% for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES WORKING CAPITAL AND CASH FLOWS As of September 30, 2005, the Company had cash and cash equivalents totaling $10.5 million. The Company believes that cash generated from operations and borrowing availability under its Credit Agreement (described below), will be sufficient to fund the working capital and other requirements of the Company for the foreseeable future. 22 During the nine months ended September 30, 2005, the Company's working capital increased by $6.5 million from $20.6 million at December 31, 2004 to $27.1 million at September 30, 2005. The Company's cash balance increased $8.1 million from $2.4 million at December 31, 2004 to $10.5 million at September 30, 2005. The increase in cash and cash equivalents during the nine months ended September 30, 2005 resulted from cash provided by operating activities of $11.8 million, offset by cash used by investing activities of $0.8 million, cash used by financing activities of $2.8 million, and a negative effect of exchange rate changes on cash of approximately $0.1 million. Cash Flows from Operating Activities Cash provided by operating activities was $11.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 compared to cash used in operating activities of $0.8 million for the same period of 2004. The increase in cash compared to the prior period is primarily due to $1.8 million higher net income in 2005 compared to 2004, proceeds from the EDS lawsuit arbitration of $13.8 million in 2005, and increased non-cash compensation expense of $0.8 million in 2005 compared to 2004. These increases in cash flows from operating activities were offset by a decrease in changes in other operating items by approximately $4.0 million, primarily due to a decrease in accrued expenses related to the payout of $5 million of the EDS arbitration proceeds to NPDC in 2005 which were accrued for in 2004. This decrease in changes in other operating items was partially offset by favorable changes in working capital. Cash Flows from Investing Activities Cash used by investing activities was $0.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 compared to cash used by investing activities of $0.3 million for the same period of 2004. The increase in cash used by investing activities is primarily due to proceeds from the sale of marketable securities of approximately $1.0 million in 2004 that did not recur in 2005. This increase in cash used by investing activities was offset by a decrease in capital expenditures for property, plant and equipment of approximately $0.5 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2005 compared to the same period of 2004. Cash Flows from Financing Activities Cash used by financing activities was $2.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 compared to cash provided by financing activities of $0.5 million for the same period of 2004. The increase in cash used by financing activities is primarily due to the repayment by General Physics of its short-term borrowings of $6.1 million offset by short-term borrowings by GSE of approximately $1.2 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2005. This use of cash was offset by net cash proceeds of $2.0 million in 2005 in connection with GSE's issuance of a subordinated convertible note prior to the Company's spin-off of GSE, compared to repayments of long-term debt by the Company of $0.7 million in 2004. Additionally, cash proceeds from the exercise of employee stock options increased by $0.8 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2005 compared to the same period of 2004. In connection with the spin-off of GSE on September 30, 2005, the Company's cash balance decreased by $804,000 as a result of GSE no longer being consolidated with the Company effective with the spin-off. LONG-TERM DEBT AND SHORT-TERM BORROWINGS Pursuant to a Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement dated August 8, 2003, the Company issued and sold to four Gabelli funds $7.5 million aggregate principal amount of 6% Conditional Subordinated Notes due 2008 and 937,500 warrants, each entitling the holder thereof to purchase (subject to adjustment) one share of the Company's common stock. The aggregate purchase price for the Gabelli Notes and GP Warrants was $7.5 23 million. The Gabelli Notes are secured by a mortgage on the Company's former property located in Pawling, New York which was distributed to NPDC in the spin-off. In addition, at any time that less than $1.9 million principal amount of the Gabelli Notes are outstanding, the Company may defease the obligations secured by the mortgage and obtain a release of the mortgage. The Company has a five-year 5% note due in full on October 21, 2008 in the principal amount of $5,250,955 to ManTech International. Interest is payable quarterly. Each year during the term of the note, the holder of the note has the option to convert up to 20% of the original principal amount of the note into common stock of the Company at the then market price of the Company's common stock, but only in the event that the Company's common stock is trading at $10 per share or more. In the event that less than 20% of the principal amount of the note is not converted in any year, such amount not converted will be eligible for conversion in each subsequent year until converted or until the note is repaid in cash. General Physics has a three-year $25 million Credit Agreement with a bank that expires on August 13, 2006 with annual renewal options and is secured by certain assets of General Physics. The interest rate on borrowings under the Credit Agreement is at the daily LIBOR Market Index Rate plus 3%, which was 6.84% as of September 30, 2005. The Credit Agreement also contains certain restrictive covenants. General Physics is currently restricted from paying dividends and management fees to the Company in excess of $1.0 million in any fiscal year. The Company repaid in full the $6.1 million outstanding under the Credit Agreement as of December 31, 2004 in January of 2005, using the proceeds received from the EDS arbitration award (see Note 9 to the condensed consolidated financial statements). As of September 30, 2005, the Company had no borrowings outstanding under the Credit Agreement and there was approximately $19,313,000 of available borrowings based upon 80% of eligible accounts receivable and 80% of eligible unbilled receivables. As of September 30, 2005, GSE had borrowings of $1,182,000 and a letter of credit for $10,000 under General Physics' Credit Agreement, under which $1,500,000 was allocated for use by GSE. The Company guarantees GSE's borrowings under the Credit Agreement through August 13, 2006. CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS Effective April 11, 2005, General Physics entered into employment agreements with certain of its officers, resulting in committed compensation of approximately $2.0 million annually. These agreements have employment terms expiring in 2007, provide for grants of restricted stock units pursuant to the Company's 2003 Incentive Stock Plan, and contain non-compete covenants and change of control and termination provisions. NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARD In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123 - Revised (SFAS No. 123R), Share-Based Payment, which revises SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, and supersedes APB No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees. Currently, the Company does not record compensation expense for certain stock-based compensation. Under SFAS No. 123R, the Company will measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for stock, based on the grant-date fair value (with limited exceptions) of the stock award. Such cost will be recognized over the period during which the employee is required to provide service in exchange for the stock award (usually the vesting period). The fair value of the stock award will be estimated using an option-pricing model, with excess tax benefits, as defined in SFAS No. 123R, being recognized as an addition to paid in capital. SFAS No. 123R was to be effective as of July 1, 2005. However, based on Final Rule 74 issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission in April 2005, which delayed the implementation of SFAS No. 123R, the Company plans to adopt SFAS No. 123R effective January 1, 2006. The Company expects to adopt SFAS No. 123R using the Modified Prospective Application method without restatement of prior periods. Under this method, the Company will begin to amortize compensation cost for the remaining portion of its outstanding 24 awards on the adoption date for which the requisite service has not yet been rendered. Compensation cost for these awards will be based on the fair value of those awards as disclosed on a pro-forma basis under SFAS 123 in Note 3, Stock Based Compensation. The Company will account for awards that are granted, modified, or settled after the adoption date in accordance with SFAS No. 123R. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the impact of SFAS No. 123R on its consolidated financial statements. FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS The forward-looking statements contained herein reflect GP Strategies' management's current views with respect to future events and financial performance. We use words such as "expects", "intends" and "anticipates" to indicate forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements, all of which are difficult to predict and many of which are beyond the control of GP Strategies, including, but not limited to, our holding company structure, failure to continue to attract and retain personnel, loss of business from significant customers, failure to keep pace with technology, changing economic conditions, competition, our ability to implement procedures that will reduce the likelihood that material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting will not occur in the future, and those other risks and uncertainties detailed in GP Strategies' periodic reports and registration statements filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. If any one or more of these expectations and assumptions proves incorrect, actual results will likely differ materially from those contemplated by the forward-looking statements. Even if all of the foregoing assumptions and expectations prove correct, actual results may still differ materially from those expressed in the forward-looking statements as a result of factors we may not anticipate or that may be beyond our control. While we cannot assess the future impact that any of these differences could have on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows or the market price of shares of our common stock, the differences could be significant. We do not undertake to update any forward-looking statements made by us. 25 ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK The Company has no material changes to the disclosure on this matter made in its report on Form 10-K/A for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2004. ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES We carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rule 13-15(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Based upon that evaluation and the material weaknesses described below, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of the date covered by this report. As discussed more fully in Item 9A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K/A-2 dated April 29, 2005, for the year ended December 31, 2004, in connection with our audit of our consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2004, we determined that the Company's policies and procedures did not provide for adequate management oversight and review of the Company's income tax accounting. This lack of adequate management oversight and review of the Company's income tax accounting resulted in material errors in the Company's income tax provision, which were identified and corrected prior to the issuance of the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2004. This deficiency represents more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of the Company's annual or interim financial statements would not have been prevented or detected. The Company's policies and procedures did not provide for adequate management oversight and review of the Company's consolidated financial statements and footnote disclosures. In addition, the Company did not have adequate technical resources to ensure the timely completion and review of its consolidated financial statements and footnote disclosures. These deficiencies resulted in material errors in the consolidated financial statements, primarily the number of weighted average common shares outstanding used in the earnings per share calculation, the presentation of cash flows from operating and financing activities, and certain financial statement footnote disclosures related to income taxes and stock-based compensation, which were identified and corrected prior to the issuance of the 2004 consolidated financial statements. These deficiencies represent more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of the Company's annual or interim financial statements would not have been prevented or detected. Based on the material weaknesses described above, management concluded that the Company's internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of December 31, 2004. This assessment is based on management's conclusion that as of December 31, 2004, there was more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of the Company's annual or interim financial statements would not be prevented or detected on a timely basis by Company employees in the normal course of performing their assigned functions. As a result, we implemented changes in certain of our internal controls over financial reporting during the nine months ended September 30, 2005, as follows: - The Company has, subsequent to December 31, 2004, revised its processes and procedures to prepare the consolidated income tax provision and the consolidated financial statements and footnote disclosures, and implemented additional management review controls over the related processes. - The Company hired a Director of Financial Reporting who is dedicated to the Company's financial reporting requirements. 26 We will continue to evaluate the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures and our internal controls over financial reporting on an ongoing basis, and will take further action as appropriate. However, there can be no assurance that our controls and procedures will prevent or detect material misstatement of the Company's annual or interim financial statements. 27 PART II.
