    (1) During the first quarter of 2002, the Company adopted Emerging
        Issues Task Force Topic No. D-103, "Income Statement
        Characterization of Reimbursements Received for
        "Out-of-Pocket" Expenses Incurred". In accordance with the
        provisions of Topic No. D-103, reimbursements received for
        out-of-pocket expenses incurred are classified as revenue.
        Prior to 2002, the Company accounted for reimbursements
        received for out-of-pocket expenses incurred as a reduction to
        project personnel and expenses. The statements of operations
        for the quarter and year ended December 28, 2001 were
        reclassified to comply with the guidance in Topic No. D-103.
        Adoption of the provisions had no impact on the reported net
        loss or net loss per share.

    (2) The Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting
        Standards No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets",
        during the first quarter of 2002. The new accounting rule
        eliminates the amortization of goodwill and changes the method
        of determining whether there is a goodwill impairment from an
        undiscounted cash flow method to a fair value method. As a
        result of the adoption of this standard, the Company incurred
        a non-cash transitional charge of $31.2 million in the first
        quarter of 2002 due to the cumulative effect of the change in
        accounting principle. The new statement also requires that
        goodwill be tested for impairment on an annual basis and
        between annual tests in certain circumstances. The Company
        performed an impairment test during the third quarter of 2002
        and recorded a non-cash charge of $20.0 million primarily as a
        result of the decline in stock prices for the Company and its
        peer group.

    (3) During 2001, the Company granted stock options to participants
        in the Company's Employee Stock Purchase Plan. These stock
        options were granted in lieu of the Employee Stock Purchase
        Plan shares that could not be issued because the plan was
        oversubscribed. The Company recorded a non-cash stock
        compensation charge ($-0- for the fourth quarter and $4,218
        for the year in 2001) for the difference between the fair
        market value of the stock on the option grant date and the
        exercise price.

    (4) Potentially dilutive shares were excluded from the diluted
        loss per share calculation for the quarters and year ended
        January 3, 2003 and December 28, 2001 as their effects would
        have been anti-dilutive to the loss incurred by the Company.
        The total number of weighted average common and common
        equivalent shares outstanding, including any anti-dilutive
        shares, for the quarters ended January 3, 2003 and December
        28, 2001 were 46,347 shares and 46,245 shares, respectively,
        and for the years ended January 3, 2003 and December 28, 2001,
        were 46,992 shares and 46,304 shares, respectively.

    (5) Pro forma data in the fourth quarter and year of 2002 excludes
        a goodwill impairment charge of $-0- and $20,000,
        respectively, restructuring costs associated with personnel
        and facility reductions of $10,886, and amortization of
        intangible assets of $75 and $208, respectively. Pro forma
        data in the fourth quarter and year of 2001 excludes
        restructuring costs associated with personnel and facility
        reductions of $5,619, non-cash stock compensation of $-0- and
        $4,855, respectively, and goodwill amortization of $1,079 and
        $4,173, respectively. Pro forma data also excludes the
        cumulative effect of change in accounting principle and losses
        from discontinued operations. Pro forma data does not purport
        to be prepared in accordance with Generally Accepted
        Accounting Principles.
