Item 1. Business

         From time to time, we may, through our management, make forward-looking
public statements in press releases or other communications, such as statements
concerning then expected future revenues or earnings or alliances, product
development, and commercialization, as well as other estimates relating to
future operations. Forward-looking statements may be in reports filed under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, in press releases, or in oral
statements made with the approval of an authorized executive officer. The words
or phrases believe, will likely result, are expected to, will continue, is
anticipated, estimate, or similar expressions are intended to identify
forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 and Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as enacted
by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.

         We wish to caution readers not to place undue reliance on these
forward-looking statements which speak only as of the date on which they are
made. Various factors, including those set forth under the section entitled Risk
Factors, could affect our financial or other performance, and could cause our
actual results for future periods to differ materially from any opinions or
statements expressed with respect to future periods or events in any current
statement.

         We will not undertake and specifically decline any obligation to
publicly release the result of any revisions which may be made to any
forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of
such statements or to reflect the occurrence of anticipated or unanticipated
events which may cause management to reevaluate such forward-looking statements.

Overview

         We are a leading independent network infrastructure and security
consulting company focused on helping global enterprises and service providers
harness the power of network technology. Specifically, we build, optimize, and
secure high-performance infrastructures that deliver measurable results by
increasing operational efficiency, mitigating risk, and empowering our Fortune
1000 clients' business initiatives. Our BusinessFirst(TM) approach ensures that
we deliver measurable, sustainable results to clients that allow them to benefit
from our collective, in-depth experience. With BusinessFirst, we prioritize a
client's goals and deliver business-driven solutions. Our expertise spans a
multitude of disciplines including enterprise management, performance, network
design and management and information security. We believe that this range of
services along with our business-oriented approach is unique in the industry.

         As an independent service provider, we provide our clients with
unbiased expertise that enables the design, implementation and management of
optimal technology solutions. We provide our services on either a project
outsource or collaborative consulting basis. Our project outsource services are
based on and measured against mutually agreed upon service offerings and provide
our clients with certainty of costs, delivery time and project scope. Our
collaborative consulting services enable our clients to utilize our extensive
expertise in order to extend their internal capabilities and to access our
methodologies. Our service offerings cover the cornerstones of network
technology: network design and engineering; enterprise management (including
network management, asset management, performance management and service
management); and information security. This structure enables us to gain
in-depth expertise and become familiar with the best practices and methodologies
identified within each of those disciplines.

Industry Background

         Over the past few years, a number of trends have emerged that begin to
push the envelope of the current iteration of corporate networks. The developing
concept of "pervasive computing," based heavily on personal digital assistants
(PDAs), Web-enabled phones, and other appliance-type devices, coupled with an
the increasing adoption of the concept that the computer networks should be
viewed as a utility, have begun to push the limits of the current generation of
security and network management models.

         Whereas networks have traditionally been built around the notion of
physical environments, in which users and data were often co-located, future
networks are likely to be more "transparent"; that is, networks will be
architected around the location of data and applications, as opposed to
individual users or machines. In addition, organizations must adapt their
current security models to be more flexible and configurable, without
compromising the strength of the security provided. This new concept of
"transparent networking" creates a new set of issues for large corporations:

      o  Networks must support wireless clients of a heterogeneous nature.

      o  Networks must support users in geographically disparate locations, all
         around the world.

      o  Corporations must be able to centrally manage and maintain network
         components that are in physically distant locations, and that may be
         run by third-parties.

      o  Service level agreements (SLAs) must be adapted and strengthened to
         apply to highly distributed control environments.


                                       3
<PAGE>


      o  Customer environments must be able to create highly-personalized client
         experiences, and networks must be able to support those abstract
         personalized experience in the physical network.

      o  Organizations must have the ability to control and manage large numbers
         of assets in widespread environments.

      o  Organizations must develop, deploy, and manage highly-flexible,
         dynamically-configurable, and strong security models that fit the
         transparent environment.

         However, we believe that few firms have the requisite focus and
expertise to address these issues, and that many are limited by the fact that
they:

      o  are primarily motivated by distributing their own products and often
         lack the skills to implement multi-vendor solutions;

      o  do not have the breadth of capabilities in networking, security and
         enterprise management to address the issues raised by Transparent
         Networking;

      o  are focused on traditional mainframe computing environments and derive
         a large percentage of their revenue from reselling hardware and
         software products; or

      o  only augment businesses' in-house capabilities with hourly rate-based
         teams of technical personnel.

     As a result, we believe that a significant opportunity exists for a service
provider that can offer businesses high-end consulting and technical expertise
in the design, implementation, management and security of complex networks.

The Predictive Solution

We are a leading network infrastructure and security consulting company that
builds, optimizes, and secures high-performance infrastructures that deliver
measurable results by increasing operational efficiency, mitigating risk and
empowering our Fortune 1000 clients' business initiatives. Predictive Systems'
BusinessFirst(TM) approach is the core value that underpins everything we do,
motivating our consultants to understand each client's business and to design
and build network infrastructures that support and enhance that business. We
employ our BusinessFirst approach on all engagements in order to ensure that our
network technology and security solutions not only meet our clients' business
objectives, but also bring tangible business benefits. BusinessFirst reflects
our inherent belief that a client's infrastructure is a mission-critical asset.
We are dedicated to understanding both prevalent and cutting-edge technologies
to provide us with relevant and specific technical knowledge. We believe that
our success to date has been largely attributable to the following key
characteristics of our service offerings:

         Business-driven, Results-Oriented Approach. Using our proprietary
Quantitative Business Analysis methodology, Operational Risk capabilities,
Business Process Engineering teams and our structured Program and Project
Management teams, we can demonstrate the business value of technology solutions
in specific and measurable terms, thereby enabling our clients to incorporate
objective and quantifiable analysis into their technology investment decisions.
We utilize widely accepted principles of risk analysis and mitigation used by
the insurance and financial services industries to assess our client's
technology environment. We provide our clients with a detailed analysis of the
financial benefit of a project by quantifying factors such as business risks,
total cost of ownership and operational efficiency. As a result, our clients can
gain a clear understanding of the benefits that they will derive from their
network technology and security investments and a measure of certainty about how
their technology investments will be translated into tangible and measurable
improvements to their business processes.

         Fixed-Price, Fixed-Time Engagement Model. We provide our clients with a
service delivery model that is designed to enhance their ability to
cost-effectively leverage our expertise. When engaged on a project outsource
basis, we work with our clients to mutually define a fixed scope of work at the
beginning of the project that is tailored to the clients' specific needs and
therefore, modified from engagement to engagement. We then deliver the services
for a fixed fee, in a fixed period of time with a fixed set of deliverables.

         In-Depth Network Infrastructure and Security Expertise. Our consultants
are organized into disciplines that span the cornerstones of network
infrastructure and security: network design and engineering; Global Integrity
Security; network and systems management; integrated customer service;
performance management; and business integration services. This enables our
consultants to gain in-depth expertise and become intimately familiar with the
best practices within each of those disciplines. More importantly, it enables us
to leverage the knowledge base within each practice group to provide our clients
with cross-functional teams of consultants that are better equipped to address
their varying needs in a coordinated and efficient manner.

Strategy

         Continue to Attract and Retain Highly Qualified Consultants. We intend
to continue to attract and retain highly qualified consultants by providing them
with a rich environment and culture to work in, and by offering them attractive
professional development and compensation opportunities. We generally recruit
consultants who have significant technical expertise and offer them the ability
to accelerate their career development by working with sophisticated
technologies in complex, multi-vendor environments. We have established a formal
training program which is designed to improve the skills and productivity of our
consultants. We intend to continue to promote our corporate culture with stated
values and invest in the training and development of our consultants.



                                       4
<PAGE>


         Further Increase Our Industry Expertise. We intend to continue to
expand the scope of our industry expertise in order to further penetrate the
markets in which we serve. We believe our expertise in specific industries
considerably enhances our ability to help companies within those industries gain
competitive advantage by improving the performance, utility and security of
their networks. We have significant experience within the financial services,
telecommunication services, oil/gas and Internet and electronic commerce
industries. In each of these markets, we employ industry experts, pursue
targeted sales and marketing opportunities and develop industry-specific service
offerings. We intend to expand into other industries which we believe will be
well suited to our services.

         Cross-Sell into Existing Accounts and Deepen Existing Relationships.
Over the years, we have cultivated and grown client relationships with many of
the largest companies in the world. In many cases, however, these relationships
may only be based on a small subset of services currently (or previously)
contracted to Predictive. However, we believe that these clients would be
receptive to a broader range of services to address a number of their technology
infrastructure needs.

         Establish Additional and Broaden Existing Strategic Relationships. We
have developed a number of strategic relationships, including alliances with
Cisco Systems, Peregrine Systems, Riptech, Hewlett Packard, Compaq, Micromuse
and InfoVista. Under these relationships, our partners recommend or directly
resell our services to their clients. We intend to continue to expand the scope
of these relationships and to develop new strategic alliances to further broaden
the indirect sales channel for our services.

Services

         Our service offerings are grouped into three major areas: Networking,
Enterprise Management, and Information Security. Our consultants are further
organized into different disciplines. Although many of our consultants are
cross-skilled in a variety of technologies and many technologies span multiple
disciplines, each discipline represents an aspect of network technology
important enough to warrant specialization.

These six disciplines are:

      o  network design and engineering;

      o  network and systems management;

      o  integrated customer service;

      o  performance management;

      o  Global Integrity Security; and

      o  business integration services.

     Our consultants have extensive experience with a wide variety of
technologies and vendors. For some clients, our consultants are involved in both
technology and vendor selection. Other clients have already selected the
technology, vendor or both. Regardless, we offer our clients a completely
objective, vendor-neutral approach. Our knowledge of advanced technologies and
leading vendors is a significant part of our value proposition to our clients.

     Network Design and Engineering. Our network design and engineering
discipline is dedicated to helping our clients plan, implement and operate
business networks and network services. Our real-world experience and
cross-discipline collaboration produces network systems that are cost-effective,
manageable, scalable and secure. This enables our clients to use technology to
gain a major competitive advantage and a tangible return on investment.

Recruiting. Our success is dependent in part on attracting and retaining
talented and motivated personnel at all levels. We have a proactive recruiting
philosophy and believe in a broad-based model for attracting candidates.

Corporate Culture. Our dynamic corporate culture is shaped by our view of
employees as investors because they choose to invest their talents, skills, time
and energy into our organization. This mindset is critical to our ability to
attract and retain professional staff at a time when information technology
professionals are in high demand. We have instituted a very competitive benefits
package for all employees and have developed policies that ensure that we
continue to address our employees' professional development and satisfaction. We
strive to maintain our relaxed and supportive workplace.

Professional Development. We believe that our investment in our employees must
mirror our employees' investment in and commitment to us. Integral to this goal
is the establishment of a career development plan for each of our employees,
which is created and agreed upon by management and the employee. We provide our
consultants with the opportunity to obtain extensive subject matter expertise in
their practice area and to work in collaborative multi-discipline projects. We
have also established training programs that leverages both our in-house
captured knowledge programs, as well as selected outside certification programs.

Compensation. We believe that linking employee compensation to our success
through performance-based incentive programs encourages a high level of
involvement from each team member and increases our employee retention. We
provide a highly competitive compensation package that consists of a combination
of base salary, performance-based incentives and an employee stock purchase
plan.

Competition

         The network infrastructure and security consulting industry is
comprised of many participants, is highly competitive and is subject to rapid
technological change. We face intense competition from systems integrators,
value added resellers, network services firms, security consulting firms,
telecommunications providers, network equipment and computer systems vendors.
Many of our competitors have greater name recognition, longer operating
histories, more relationships with large and established clients and greater
financial, technical and managerial resources. Furthermore, we expect that our
competitors may in the future form alliances with other technology vendors,
which may give them an advantage in managing networks that use that vendor's
equipment.

         Most of our current clients and prospective clients have internal
information technology departments and could choose to satisfy their network
management needs through internal resources rather than by outsourcing them to
third-party service providers such as ourselves. The decision by clients or
prospective clients to rely on their own information technology departments
could have a material adverse affect on our business, results of operations and
financial condition. Moreover, as the domestic and global markets for
information technology services continue to grow, we expect to face stiff
competition from new entrants into the network management consulting industry.


                                       12
<PAGE>


         We believe that the principal competitive factors in the network
infrastructure and security consulting market are the ability to attract and
retain qualified personnel, quality and breadth of services offered, price and
reliability of services provided and the strength of client relationships. We
believe we compete favorably with respect to all of these factors. We believe we
distinguish ourselves from our competitors through our expertise in managing
complex, multi-vendor networks and our ability to provide clients with cost
certainty and guaranteed deliverables.

Intellectual Property and Proprietary Rights

         We regard our copyrights, trade secrets and other intellectual property
as critical to our success. Unauthorized use of our intellectual property by
third parties may damage our brand and our reputation. We rely on trademark and
copyright law, trade secret protection and confidentiality and/or license and
other agreements with our employees, customers, partners and others to protect
our intellectual property rights. Despite our precautions, it may be possible
for third parties to obtain and use our intellectual property without our
authorization. Furthermore, the validity, enforceability and scope of protection
of intellectual property in Internet-related industries is still evolving. The
laws of some foreign countries do not protect intellectual property to the same
extent as do the laws of the United States.

         We pursue the registration of our trademarks in the United States and
England. We may not be able to secure adequate protection of our trademarks in
the United States and other countries. Effective trademark protection may not be
available in all the countries in which we conduct business. Policing
unauthorized use of our marks is also difficult and expensive. In addition, it
is possible that our competitors have adopted or will adopt product or service
names similar to ours, thereby impeding our ability to build brand identity and
possibly leading to customer confusion.

         We cannot be certain that our services and the finished products that
we deliver do not or will not infringe valid patents, copyrights, trademarks or
other intellectual property rights held by third parties. We may be subject to
legal proceedings and claims from time to time relating to the intellectual
property of others in the ordinary course of our business. We may incur
substantial expenses in defending against these third-party infringement claims,
regardless of their merit. Successful infringement claims against us may result
in substantial monetary liability or may materially disrupt the conduct of our
business.

Risk Factors

         An investment in our company involves a high degree of risk. You should
carefully consider the risks described below before you decide to buy our common
stock. If any of the following risks actually occur, our business, results of
operations or financial condition would likely suffer. In this case, the trading
price of our common stock could decline.

           Risks Related to Our Financial Condition and Business Model

Our limited operating history makes it difficult for you to evaluate our
business and to predict our future success

         We commenced operations in February 1995 and therefore have only a
limited operating history for you to evaluate our business. Because of our
limited operating history and the fact that many of our competitors have longer
operating histories, we believe that the prediction of our future success is
difficult. You should evaluate our chances of financial and operational success
in light of the risks, uncertainties, expenses, delays and difficulties
associated with operating a new business, many of which are beyond our control.
You should not rely on our historical results of operations as indications of
future performance. The uncertainty of our future performance and the
uncertainties of our operating in a new and volatile market increase the risk
that the value of your investment will decline.

Adverse market conditions, particularly those affecting the professional
services industry, may impair our operating results

         Our results depend to a large extent on market conditions affecting the
technology industry in general and the telecommunications and enterprise sectors
in particular. Adverse market conditions in the sectors in which we operate
could delay buying decisions or cause projects to be deferred, reduced in scope
or discontinued. These sectors are experiencing a drastic downturn. We can not
predict how long this contraction will last, or the timing or strength of a
recovery, if any. If market conditions and corporate spending in these sectors
do not improve, our operating results will continue to suffer.


                                       13

Because most of our revenues are generated from a small number of clients, our
revenues are difficult to predict and the loss of one client could significantly
reduce our revenues

         During the year ended December 31, 2001, BellSouth accounted for
approximately 17.3% of our revenues. Our five largest clients accounted for
approximately 40.6% of our revenues for the year ended December 31, 2001. For
the year ended December 31, 2000, our five largest clients accounted for
approximately 37.8% of our revenues. If one of our major clients discontinues or
significantly reduces the use of our services, we may not generate sufficient
revenues to offset this loss of revenues and our net loss will increase. In
addition, the non-payment or late payment of amounts due from a major client
could adversely affect us. As of December 31, 2001, the accounts receivable from
BellSouth was approximately $994,000, which related to work performed in October
through December 2001.

Our clients may terminate their contracts with us on short notice

         Our services are often delivered pursuant to short-term arrangements
and most clients can reduce or cancel their contracts for our services without
penalty and with little or no notice. If a major client or a number of small
clients terminate our contracts or significantly reduce or modify their business
relationships with us, we may not be able to replace the shortfall in revenues.
Consequently, you should not predict or anticipate our future revenues based
upon the number of clients we have currently or the number and size of our
existing projects.

Our operating results may vary from quarter to quarter in future periods, and as
a result, we may fail to meet the expectations of our investors and analysts,
which may cause our stock price to fluctuate or decline

     Our operating results have varied from quarter to quarter. Our operating
results may continue to vary as a result of a variety of factors. These factors
include:

      o  the loss of key employees;

      o  the development and introduction of new service offerings;

      o  reductions in our billing rates;

      o  the miscalculation of resources required to complete new or ongoing
         projects;

      o  the utilization of our workforce;

      o  the ability of our clients to meet their payments obligations to us;
         and

      o  the timing and extent of training.

     Many of these factors are beyond our control. Accordingly, you should not
rely on quarter-to-quarter comparisons of our results of operations as an
indication of our future performance. In addition, our operating results may be
below the expectations of public market analysts or investors in some future
quarter. If this occurs, the price of our common stock is likely to decline.

We derive a substantial portion of our revenues from fixed-price projects, under
which we assume greater financial risk if we fail to accurately estimate the
costs of the projects

         We derive a substantial portion of our revenues from fixed-price
projects. For the years ended December 31, 2001 and 2000, fixed-price projects
accounted for 48.2% and 43.2% of our revenue, respectively. We assume greater
financial risks on a fixed-price project than on a time-and-expense based
project. If we miscalculate the resources or time we need for these fixed-price
projects, the costs of completing these projects may exceed the price, which
could result in a loss on the project and a increase in net loss. We recognize
revenues from fixed-price projects based on our estimate of the percentage of
each project completed in a reporting period. To the extent our estimates are
inaccurate, the revenues and operating profits, if any, that we report for
periods during which we are working on a fixed-price project may not accurately
reflect the final results of the project and we would be required to record an
expense for these periods equal to the amount by which our revenues were
previously overstated.

Our operating results may fluctuate due to seasonal factors which could result
in greater than expected losses

         Our results of operations may experience seasonal fluctuations as
businesses typically spend less on network management services during the summer
and year-end vacation and holiday periods. Additionally, as a large number of
our employees take vacation during these periods, our utilization rates during
these periods tend to be lower, which reduces our margins and operating income.
Accordingly, we may report greater than expected losses for these periods.



                                       14
<PAGE>


Our long sales cycle makes our revenues difficult to predict and could cause our
quarterly operating results to be below the expectations of public market
analysts and investors

         The timing of our revenues is difficult to predict because of the
length and variance of the time required to complete a sale. Before hiring us
for a project, our clients often undertake an extensive review process and may
require approval at various levels within their organization. Any delay due to a
long sales cycle could reduce our revenues for a quarter and cause our quarterly
operating results to be below the expectations of public market analysts or
investors. If this occurs, the price of our common stock is likely to decline.

We may need to raise additional capital to grow our business, which we may not
be able to do

         Our future liquidity and capital requirements are difficult to predict
because they depend on numerous factors, including the success of our existing
and new service offerings and competing technological and market developments.
As a result, we may not be able to generate sufficient cash from our operations
to meet additional working capital requirements, support additional capital
expenditures or take advantage of acquisition opportunities. Accordingly, we may
need to raise additional capital in the future. Our ability to obtain additional
financing will be subject to a number of factors, including market conditions,
our operating performance and investor sentiment. These factors may make the
timing, amount, terms and conditions of additional financing unattractive for
us. If we are unable to raise additional funds when needed, our ability to
operate and grow our business could be impeded.

                    Risks Related to Our Strategy and Market

We may have difficulty managing our expanding operations, which may harm our
business

         A key part of our strategy is to grow our business; however, our rapid
growth has placed a significant strain on our managerial and operational
resources. From January 1, 1999 to December 31, 2000, our headcount increased
from approximately 138 to approximately 691 employees. Since such time, as a
result of market conditions and other factors, we have decreased our headcount
to 458 employees as of December 31, 2001. As a result of this reduction, the
remaining employees have been charged with additional responsibilities. To
manage our growth, we must continue to improve our financial and management
controls, reporting systems and procedures, and expand and train our work force.
We may not be able to do so successfully.

The workforce restructuring we have taken in response to the recent slowdown in
demand for our services could have adverse effects on our business.

         Our business has been experiencing lower revenues due to decreased
customer demand for our services. To scale back our operations and to reduce our
expenses in response to this decreased demand for our services, we have
significantly reduced the size of our workforce. While these actions have
positively impacted our results of operations, there are several risks inherent
in our efforts to transition to a smaller workforce. Reducing the size of our
workforce could have adverse effects on our business by reducing our pool of
technical talent, making it more difficult for us to respond to customers,
limiting our ability to provide increased services quickly if and when the
demand for our services increases, and limiting our ability to hire and retain
key personnel. These circumstances could cause our earnings to be lower than
they might otherwise be.

Our management team has experienced significant turnover which could interrupt
our business and adversely affect our growth

         Our future success depends, in significant part, upon the continued
service and performance of our senior management and other key personnel. Andrew
Zimmerman was appointed our Chief Executive Officer in June 2001. In addition,
in connection with our recent reductions in staff, many members of our senior
management team have either departed, or been redeployed and given new
responsibilities. If the restructuring of our senior management team does not
lead to the results we expect, our ability to effectively deliver our services,
manage our company and carry out our business plan may be impaired.

We may not be able to hire and retain qualified network systems and security
consultants which could affect our ability to compete effectively

         Our continued success depends on our ability to identify, hire, train
and retain highly qualified network and security management consultants. These
individuals are in high demand and we may not be able to attract and retain the
number of highly qualified consultants that we need. If we cannot retain,
attract and hire the necessary consultants, our ability to grow, complete
existing projects and bid for new projects will be adversely affected.

Competition in the network and security consulting industry is intense, and
therefore we may lose projects to our competitors

         Our market is intensely competitive, highly fragmented and subject to
rapid technological change. We expect competition to intensify and increase over
time. We may lose projects to our competitors, which could adversely affect our
business, results of operations and financial condition. In addition,
competition could result in lower billing rates and gross margins and could
require us to increase our spending on sales and marketing.

         We face competition from systems integrators, value added resellers,
network services firms, security consulting firms, telecommunications providers,
and network equipment and computer systems vendors. These competitors may be
able to respond more quickly to new or emerging technologies and changes in
client requirements or devote greater resources to the expansion of their market
share.

         Additionally, our competitors have in the past and may in the future
form alliances with various network equipment vendors that may give them an
advantage in implementing networks using that vendor's equipment.



                                       15
<PAGE>

         We also compete with internal information technology departments of
current and potential clients. To the extent that current or potential clients
decide to satisfy their needs internally, our business will suffer.

If we are unable to find suitable acquisition candidates, our growth could be
impeded

         A component of our growth strategy is the acquisition of, or investment
in, complementary businesses, technologies, services or products. Our ability to
identify and invest in suitable acquisition and investment candidates on
acceptable terms is crucial to this strategy. We may not be able to identify,
acquire or make investments in promising acquisition candidates on acceptable
terms. Moreover, in pursuing acquisition and investment opportunities, we may be
in competition with other companies having similar growth and investment
strategies. Competition for these acquisitions or investment targets could also
result in increased acquisition or investment prices and a diminished pool of
businesses, technologies, services or products available for acquisition or
investment.

Our acquisition strategy could have an adverse effect on client satisfaction and
our operating results

         Acquisitions, including those already consummated, involve a number of
risks, including:

      o  adverse effects on our reported operating results due to accounting
         charges associated with acquisitions;

      o  increased expenses, including compensation expense resulting from newly
         hired employees; and

      o  potential disputes with the sellers of acquired businesses,
         technologies, services or products.

     Client dissatisfaction or performance problems with an acquired business,
technology, service or product could also have a material adverse impact on our
reputation as a whole. In addition, any acquired business, technology, service
or product could significantly underperform relative to our expectations.

Competition for experienced personnel is intense and our inability to retain key
personnel could interrupt our business and adversely affect our growth

         Our future success depends, in significant part, upon the continued
service and performance of our senior management and other key personnel. Losing
the services of any of these individuals may impair our ability to effectively
deliver our services and manage our company, and to carry out our business plan.
In addition, competition for qualified personnel in the network and security
consulting industry is intense and we may not be successful in attracting and
retaining these personnel. There may be only a limited number of persons with
the requisite skills to serve in these positions and it may become increasingly
difficult to hire these persons. Our business will suffer if we encounter delays
in hiring additional personnel.

Our business may suffer if we fail to adapt appropriately to the challenges
associated with operating internationally

         Operating internationally may require us to modify the way we conduct
our business and deliver our services in these markets. We anticipate that we
will face the following challenges internationally:

      o  the burden and expense of complying with a wide variety of foreign laws
         and regulatory requirements;

      o  potentially adverse tax consequences;

      o  longer payment cycles and problems in collecting accounts receivable;

      o  technology export and import restrictions or prohibitions;

      o  tariffs and other trade barriers;

      o  difficulties in staffing and managing foreign operations;

      o  cultural and language differences;

      o  fluctuations in currency exchange rates; and

      o  seasonal reductions in business activity during the summer months in
         Europe.

     If we do not appropriately anticipate changes and adapt our practices to
meet these challenges, our growth could be impeded and our results of operations
could suffer.


                                       16
<PAGE>
If we do not keep pace with technological changes, our services may become less
competitive and our business will suffer

         Our market is characterized by rapidly changing technologies, frequent
new product and service introductions, and evolving industry standards. As a
result of the complexities inherent in today's computing environments, we face
significant challenges in remaining abreast of such changes and product
introductions. If we cannot keep pace with these changes, we will not be able to
meet our clients' increasingly sophisticated network management and security
needs and our services will become less competitive.

Our future success will depend on our ability to:

      o  keep pace with continuing changes in industry standards, information
         technology and client preferences;

      o  respond effectively to these changes; and

      o  develop new services or enhance our existing services.

We may be unable to develop and introduce new services or enhancements to
existing services in a timely manner or in response to changing market
conditions or client requirements.

If the use of large-scale, complex networks does not continue to grow, we may
not be able to successfully increase or maintain our client base and revenues

         To date, a majority of our revenues have been from network management
and security services related to large-scale, complex networks. We believe that
we will continue to derive a majority of our revenues from providing network
design, performance, management and security services. As a result, our future
success is highly dependent on the continued growth and acceptance of
large-scale, complex computer networks and the continued trend among our clients
to use third-party service providers. If the growth of the use of enterprise
networks does not continue or declines, our business may not grow and our
revenues may decline.

  Risks Related to Intellectual Property Matters and Potential Legal Liability

Unauthorized use of our intellectual property by third parties may damage our
brand

         We regard our copyrights, trade secrets and other intellectual property
as critical to our success. Unauthorized use of our intellectual property by
third parties may damage our brand and our reputation. We rely on trademark and
copyright law, trade secret protection and confidentiality and/or license and
other agreements with our employees, customers, partners and others to protect
our intellectual property rights. However existing trade secret, trademark and
copyright laws afford us only limited protection. Despite our precautions, it
may be possible for third parties to obtain and use our intellectual property
without our authorization. The laws of some foreign countries are also uncertain
or do not protect intellectual property rights to the same extent as do the laws
of the United States.

We may have to defend against intellectual property infringement claims, which
could be expensive and, if we are not successful, could disrupt our business

         We cannot be certain that our services, the finished products that we
deliver or materials provided to us by our clients for use in our finished
products do not or will not infringe valid patents, copyrights, trademarks or
other intellectual property rights held by third parties. As a result, we may be
subject to legal proceedings and claims from time to time relating to the
intellectual property of others in the ordinary course of our business. We may
incur substantial expenses in defending against these third-party infringement
claims, regardless of their merit. Successful infringement claims against us may
result in substantial monetary liability and materially disrupt the conduct of
our business.

Because our services are often critical to our clients' operations, we may be
subject to significant claims if our services do not meet our clients
expectations

         Many of our projects are critical to the operations of our clients'
businesses. If we cannot complete these projects to our clients' expectations,
we could materially harm our clients' operations. This could damage our
reputation, subject us to increased risk of litigation or result in our having
to provide additional services to a client at no charge. Although we carry
general liability insurance coverage, our insurance may not cover all potential
claims to which we are exposed or may not be adequate to indemnify us for all
liability that may be imposed.

                                       17

Our stock price is likely to be highly volatile and could drop unexpectedly

         The market price of our common stock is highly volatile, has fluctuated
substantially and may continue to do so. As a result, investors in our common
stock may experience a decrease in the value of their common stock regardless of
our operating performance or prospects. In addition, the stock market has, from
time to time, experienced significant price and volume fluctuations that have
affected the market prices for the securities of technology companies. Should
our stock trade below $1.00 per share for a significant period of time, we may
not be in compliance with Nasdaq listing requirements, which could lead to our
stock being delisted from Nasdaq. In the past, following periods of volatility
in the market price of a particular company's securities, securities class
action litigation was often brought against that company. Many
technology-related companies have been subject to this type of litigation. We
are currently involved in this type of litigation. Litigation is often expensive
and diverts management's attention and resources.

We are controlled by a small group of our existing stockholders, whose interests
may differ from other stockholders

         Our directors, executive officers and affiliates currently beneficially
own approximately 29% of the outstanding shares of our common stock.
Accordingly, these stockholders will have significant influence in determining
the outcome of any corporate transaction or other matter submitted to the
stockholders for approval, including mergers, acquisitions, consolidations and
the sale of all or substantially all of our assets, and also the power to
prevent or cause a change in control. The interests of these stockholders may
differ from the interests of the other stockholders.

Matters relating to Arthur Andersen, our independent public accountants, may
lead to adverse consequences for us.

         Our independent certified public accountant, Arthur Andersen LLP, has
informed us that on March 14, 2002, it was indicted on federal obstruction of
justice charges arising from the government's investigation of Enron Corp.
Arthur Andersen has indicated that it intends to contest vigorously the
indictment. Our audit committee has been carefully monitoring the situation. As
a public company, we will be required to file with the SEC periodic financial
statements audited or reviewed by an independent, certified public accountant.
The SEC has said that it will continue accepting financial statements audited or
reviewed by Arthur Andersen so long as Arthur Andersen is able to make certain
representations to us. Our access to the capital markets and our ability to make
timely SEC filings could be impaired if the SEC ceases accepting financial
statements audited by Arthur Andersen, if Arthur Andersen becomes unable to make
the required representations to us or if for any other reason Arthur Andersen is
unable to perform accounting services for us. In such case, we would promptly
seek to engage new independent certified public accountants or take such actions
necessary for us to maintain access to the capital markets and timely financial
reporting. These events could cause us to incur costs and delays in financial
reporting. Further, it is possible that events arising out of the indictment may
adversely effect the ability of Arthur Andersen to satisfy any claims arising
from its provision of auditing and other services to us, including claims that
may arise out of Arthur Andersen's audit of our financial statements.

Our charter documents and Delaware law may inhibit a takeover that stockholders
may consider favorable

         Provisions in our charter and bylaws may have the effect of delaying or
preventing a change of control or changes in our management that stockholders
consider favorable or beneficial. If a change of control or change in management
is delayed or prevented, the market price of our common stock could decline.

                             Additional Information

         We file annual, quarterly and special reports, proxy statements and
other information with the Commission. You may read and copy all or any portion
of any reports, statements or other information in Predictive's files in the
Commission's public reference room at Room 1024, Judiciary Plaza, 450 Fifth
Street, N.W., Washington, D.C., 20549 and at the regional office of the
Commission located at 500 West Madison Street, Suite 1400, Chicago, Illinois
60661. You can request copies of these documents upon payment of a duplicating
fee, by writing to the Commission. Please call the Commission at 1-800-SEC-0330
for further information on the operation of the public reference rooms.
Predictive's Commission filings are also available to you on the Commission's
Internet site (http://www.sec.gov).

Item 2. Properties

         Our principal executive offices are located in New York, New York. We
also lease office space in California, Georgia, Illinois, Massachusetts,
Minnesota, New Jersey, Virginia, England, Germany and The Netherlands.

We believe that our existing facilities are adequate for our current needs and
that additional space will be available as needed.

Item 3. Legal Proceedings

         Except as set forth below, we are not a party to any material legal
proceedings.

         On November 13, 2001, a securities class action complaint was filed in
the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York against
certain investment banks that underwrote our initial public offering,
Predictive, and certain of our officers and directors. This action has been
coordinated with over 300 virtually identical actions against other companies
and the investment banks that underwrote their initial public offerings. The
complaint filed against us generally alleges that the underwriters obtained
excessive and undisclosed commissions from customers who received allocations of
shares in our initial and secondary public offerings and that the underwriters
maintained artificially inflated prices in the after market through "tie-in"
arrangements, which required customers to buy additional shares of our stock at
pre-determined prices in excess of the offering prices. The complaint further
alleges that we and our officers and directors violated Sections 11, 12(2), and
15 of the Securities Act of 1933 because our registration statements did not
disclose the purported misconduct of the underwriters. Plaintiffs seek an
unspecified amount of damages on behalf of persons who purchased our stock
pursuant to the registration statements. We believe that the allegations against
us are without merit and intend to defend the case vigorously.


Item 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders

         No matters were submitted to a vote of security holders during the
fourth quarter of the fiscal year ended December 31, 2001.

Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations

         The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our
financial statements and notes to those statements and other financial
information appearing elsewhere in this annual report.

Forward-Looking Statements

         From time to time, we may, through our management, make forward-looking
public statements in press releases or other communications, such as statements
concerning then expected future revenues or earnings or alliances, product
development, and commercialization, as well as other estimates relating to
future operations. Forward-looking statements may be in reports filed under the
Securities Act of 1934, as amended, in press releases, or in oral statements
made with the approval of an authorized executive officer. The words or phrases
believe, will likely result, are expected to, will continue, is anticipated,
estimate, or similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking
statements within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934 and Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as enacted by the Private
Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.

         We wish to caution readers not to place undue reliance on these
forward-looking statements which speak only as of the date on which they are
made. Various factors, including those set forth under the section entitled Risk
Factors, could affect our financial or other performance, and could cause our
actual results for future periods to differ materially from any opinions or
statements expressed with respect to future periods or events in any current
statement.

         We will not undertake and specifically decline any obligation to
publicly release the result of any revisions which may be made to any
forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of
such statements or to reflect the occurrence of anticipated or unanticipated
events which may cause management to reevaluate such forward-looking statements.

Overview

         Substantially all of our revenues are derived from professional
services. We provide network and security consulting services to our clients on
either a project outsource or collaborative consulting basis. We derive revenues
from these services on both a fixed-price, fixed-time basis and on a
time-and-expense basis. We also provide managed security services to our
clients. We derive revenues from these services on a subscription basis. We use
our BusinessFirst approach to estimate and propose prices for our fixed-price
projects. The estimation process accounts for standard billing rates particular
to each project, the client's technology environment, the scope of the project,
and the project's timetable and overall technical complexity. A member of our
senior management team must approve all of our fixed-price proposals in excess
of $500,000. For these contracts, we recognize revenue using a
percentage-of-completion method primarily based on costs incurred. We make
provisions for estimated losses on uncompleted contracts on a
contract-by-contract basis and recognize such provisions in the period in which
the losses are determined. Professional services revenues for time-and-expense
based projects are recognized as services are performed. Revenues for
subscription-based contracts are recognized on a straight-line basis over the
period of service. Any payments received in advance of services performed are
recorded as deferred revenue. Our clients are generally able to reduce or cancel
their use of our professional services without penalty and with little or no
notice. We also derive limited revenues from the sale of hardware and software.
We expect revenues from the sale of hardware and software to continue to decline
on a percentage basis.



                                       21
<PAGE>

         Since we recognize professional services revenues only when our
consultants are engaged on client projects, the utilization of our consultants
is important in determining our operating results. In addition, a substantial
majority of our operating expenses, particularly personnel and related costs,
depreciation and rent, are relatively fixed in advance of any particular
quarter. As a result, any under utilization of our consultants may cause
significant variations in our operating results in any particular quarter and
could result in losses for such quarter. Factors which could cause under
utilization include:

      o  the reduction in size, delay in commencement, interruption or
         termination of one or more significant projects;

      o  the completion during a quarter of one or more significant projects;

      o  the miscalculation of resources required to complete new or ongoing
         projects; and

      o  the timing and extent of training, weather related shut-downs,
         vacations and holidays.

     Our cost of revenues consists of costs associated with our professional
services and hardware and software purchases. Costs of revenues associated with
professional services include compensation and benefits for our consultants and
project-related travel expenses. Costs of hardware and software purchases
consist of acquisition costs of third-party hardware and software resold.

     On August 12, 1999, we acquired Network Resource Consultants and Company
B.V. for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $4.3 million. The purchase
price was paid in the form of 1,062,814 shares of our common stock in exchange
for all of the outstanding capital stock of Network Resource Consultants and
Company. The acquisition was accounted for as a purchase and resulted in
intangible assets of approximately $4.3 million representing the excess purchase
price over the fair value of the net tangible assets acquired. The intangible
assets are being amortized over a period of 5 years.

     On September 16, 1999, we completed the sale of 1,242,000 shares of our
common stock to Cisco at $12.00 per share for net proceeds of approximately
$14.2 million.

     On September 22, 1999, we completed the sale of 94,867 and 18,133 shares of
our common stock to General Atlantic Partners 57, L.P., and GAP Coinvestment
Partners II, L.P., respectively, at $12.00 per share for net proceeds of
approximately $1.4 million.

     On November 1, 1999, we consummated the initial public offering of 4.6
million shares of our common stock, at $18.00 per share, which resulted in net
proceeds to us of approximately $75.1 million after deducting underwriter
discounts and commissions, and other expenses paid by us.

     On April 5, 2000, we consummated a follow-on public offering for 3.8
million shares of our common stock at $43.00 per share, of which 1.0 million
shares were sold by us, while the reminder were sold by our stockholders,
resulting in net proceeds to us of approximately $39.8 million after deducting
underwriter discounts and commissions, and other expenses paid by us.

     On October 16, 2000, we acquired Synet Service Corporation for an aggregate
purchase price, valued at the time of the transaction, of approximately $33.4
million. The purchase price was paid in the form of 1,922,377 shares of our
common stock, options to purchase 242,459 shares of our common stock and $9.0
million in cash, including certain transaction expenses, in exchange for all of
the outstanding capital stock of Synet. The acquisition was accounted for as a
purchase and resulted in intangible assets of approximately $33.4 million
representing customer lists, workforce and the excess of the purchase price over
the fair value of the net tangible assets acquired. During 2001, we adjusted the
purchase price for $23,000 for the closing of certain offices and a reduction in
workforce in connection with the acquisition plan and to adjust the final
purchase price allocation. In 2001, we integrated the acquisition of Synet. As
we approached the completion of the integration phase during the third quarter
of 2001, and in combination with revenue declines in this business in relation
to prior periods and forecasted earnings and the overall deterioration of market
conditions in the enterprise sector, we reviewed goodwill and the intangible
assets for impairment. As a result of this review, an impairment loss of $18.2
million was recognized for the difference between the estimated value of Synet
based on future discounted cashflows and the carrying amount of its assets and
liabilities, including goodwill. Since the acquisition, the intangible assets
are being amortized over a period of 3-5 years.

     On December 14, 2000, we acquired Global Integrity Corporation for an
aggregate purchase price, valued at the time of the transaction of approximately
$78.2 million. The purchase price was paid in the form of 5,240,275 shares of
our common stock, options to purchase 551,048 shares of common stock and $31.5
million in cash, including certain transaction expenses in exchange for all of
the outstanding capital stock of Global. The acquisition was accounted for as a
purchase and resulted in intangible assets of approximately $81.1 million
representing customer lists, workforce, trade names, developed technology and
the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net tangible assets
acquired. During 2001, we adjusted the purchase price for $3.2 million for the
closing of certain offices and a reduction in workforce in connection with the
acquisition plan and to adjust the final purchase price allocation. In 2001, we
integrated the acquisition of Global. As we approached the completion of the
integration phase during the third quarter of 2001, and in combination with
revenue declines in this business in relation to prior periods and forecasted
earnings and the overall deterioration of market conditions in the enterprise
sector, we reviewed goodwill and the intangible assets for impairment. As a
result of this review, an impairment loss of $42.3 million was recognized for
the difference between the estimated value of Global Integrity based on future
discounted cashflows and the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities,
including goodwill. Since the acquisition, the intangible assets are being
amortized over a period of 3-5 years.

                                       22

         In February 2001, our management foresaw the need to lower the
operating costs of the business given its near-term revenue projections.
Therefore, we established a plan that included the following: (1) a reduction in
our workforce for both domestic and international operations related to
professional consultant employees that had been underutilized for several months
and also to employees that held various management, sales and administrative
positions deemed to be duplicative functions; (2) the closing of several
domestic and international regional offices located in geographic areas that no
longer cost justified remaining open; and (3) the discontinuance of electronic
equipment leases and other expenses related to the reduction in workforce.

         Given the decline in revenue related to the service provider customer
base, coupled with the continuing uncertainty in the professional network
consulting services marketplace, we believe that our quarterly revenue and
operating results are likely to vary significantly in the future and that
period-to-period comparisons of our operating results are not necessarily
meaningful and should not be relied on as indications of future performance.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

     This discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of
operations are based on our consolidated financial statements that have been
prepared under generally accepted accounting principles. The preparation of
financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles
requires our management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the
reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent
assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported
amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results
could materially differ from those estimates. We have disclosed all significant
accounting policies in note 2 to the consolidated financial statements included
in this Form 10-K. The consolidated financial statements and the related notes
thereto should be read in conjunction with the following discussion of our
critical accounting policies. Our critical accounting policies and estimates
are:

      o  Revenue recognition

      o  Valuation of goodwill, intangible assets and other long-lived assets

     Revenue Recognition. We currently recognize revenue from professional
services. As described below, significant management judgments and estimates
must be made and used in determining the amount of revenue recognized in any
given accounting period. Material differences may result in the amount and
timing of our revenue for any given accounting period depending upon judgments
made by or estimates utilized by management.

     We recognize revenue for fixed price contracts in accordance with SOP 81-1,
"Accounting for Performance of Construction Type and Certain Production Type
Contracts" ("SOP 81-1"). When reliable estimates are available for the costs and
efforts necessary to complete the consulting services and those services do not
include contractual milestones or other acceptance criteria, we recognize
revenue under the percentage of completion method based upon input measures,
such as hours. When such estimates are not available, we defer all revenue
recognition until we have completed the contract and have no further obligations
to the customer. Under each arrangement, revenues are recognized when a
non-cancelable agreement has been signed and the customer acknowledges an
unconditional obligation to pay, the services have been delivered, there are no
uncertainties surrounding customer acceptance, the fees are fixed and
determinable, and collection is considered probable.

     Valuation of Goodwill and Intangible Assets. We evaluate our long-lived
assets in accordance with SFAS No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of
Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed of " ("SFAS No.
121"). Long-lived assets that are not identified with an impaired asset are
reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate
that the net carrying value of the asset may not be recoverable. Certain
circumstances include a deterioration of our financial resources, poor economic
trends within the market sector, or significant changes in our business model.
In such circumstances, the net carrying value of the asset is compared to the
undiscounted future cash flows of the business segment to which that asset is
attributable. Impairment losses are measured by the amount in which the net
carrying value of the assets exceed the fair value.

     In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 142, "Goodwill and
Other Intangible Assets" ("SFAS No. 142"). SFAS 142 requires goodwill and other
intangible assets to be tested for impairment at least annually, and written off
when impaired, rather than being amortized as previously required. The Company
will adopt the provisions of SFAS 142 effective January 1, 2002. The Company has
not yet assessed the impact of this pronouncement.

</TABLE>



Years Ended December 31, 2001 and 2000

         Revenues. Substantially all of our revenues are derived from fees for
professional services. Revenues decreased 22.7% to $68.2 million in 2001 from
$88.3 million in 2000. Revenues from professional services decreased 22.4% to
$66.2 million in 2001 from $85.3 million in 2000. This decrease was primarily
due to difficult market conditions in the enterprise sector. Revenues from
hardware and software sales decreased to $2.0 million in 2001 from $2.9 million
in 2000. This decrease was primarily due to a decline in client requests for
hardware and software in connection with professional service projects. During
2001, BellSouth accounted for 17.3% of revenues. The number of our billable
consultants decreased from approximately 520 at December 31, 2000 to
approximately 360 at December 31, 2001.

         Gross Profit. Gross profit decreased 59.6% to $15.6 million in 2001
from $38.7 million in 2000. As a percentage of revenues, gross profit decreased
to 22.9% in 2001 from 43.8% in 2000. The decrease in gross profit is a result of
a decrease in utilization of our consultants in addition to a lower margin
recognized on the sale of software inventory and the write-off of $500,000 of
software inventory which was deemed to be no longer saleable. Excluding the
impact of this write-off, gross margin was 23.6% for the year ended December 31,
2001. Cost of revenues increased to $52.6 million in 2001 from $49.6 million in
2000. This increase in cost of revenues was due to an increase in compensation
and benefits paid to consultants in the first six months of 2001 as a result of
increases in billable headcount that occurred in the later part of 2000 in
addition to the $500,000 write-off of software inventory. During 2001, we
reduced billable headcount as part of our restructuring plan thus reducing cost
of revenues in the second six months of the year.


                                       24
<PAGE>

         Sales and Marketing Expenses. Sales and marketing expenses consist
primarily of compensation and benefits, travel expenses and promotional
expenses. Sales and marketing expenses increased 28.8% to $15.8 million in 2001
from $12.3 million in 2000. As a percentage of revenues, sales and marketing
expenses increased to 23.2% in 2001 from 13.9% in 2000. The increase in absolute
dollars was primarily due to an increase of $2.6 million in compensation and
benefits paid due to the hiring of additional personnel, an increase of $508,000
in travel and other selling related expenditures, and an increase of $818,000 in
commissions paid. The increase in commissions was attributable to the fact that
we had two separate sales forces for both US Consulting and Managed Security
Services. In certain instances, both sales forces received commission for the
same sale to compensate both the sales person responsible for managing the
customer relationship and the sales person that sold the services. In 2002, the
two sales forces were merged into one sales force. These increases were offset
by a decrease in marketing expenses of $368,000.

         General and Administrative Expenses. General and administrative
expenses increased 30.5% to $42.1 million in 2001 from $32.2 million in 2000. As
a percentage of revenues, general and administrative expenses were 61.7% in 2001
and 36.5% in 2000. The increase in absolute dollars was primarily due to an
increase of $3.3 million in recruiting and professional development and other
administrative costs, an increase of $2.9 million in facilities and equipment
costs and an increase of $3.9 million in compensation and benefits costs. These
increases in general and administrative costs were offset by a decrease in bad
debt expense of approximately $231,000. Bad debt expense for the years ended
December 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively, was $4.7 million and $4.9 million. In
2001 and 2000, we recorded an additional provision of approximately $1.9 million
and $4.0 million, respectively, to account for customers filing for federal
bankruptcy protection, which created significant uncertainty regarding our
ability to collect these outstanding trade accounts receivable balances. The
remaining expense in 2001 and 2000 was additional provision based on our
analysis of accounts receivable balances.

         Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and amortization increased
73.4% to $2.9 million in 2001 from $1.7 million in 2000. This increase was due
to purchases of additional computer equipment, furniture and leasehold
improvements during 2000 which were subject to a full year of depreciation in
2001, offset by write-offs of such assets in connection with our restructuring
and acquisition plans.

         Intangibles Amortization. Amortization of intangibles increased to
$21.9 million in 2001 from $2.9 million in 2000. Intangibles amortization for
the years ended December 31, 2001 and 2000 consisted of $853,000 related to the
acquisition of Network Resource Consultants and Company B.V. (NRCC) in August
1999, $6.1 million and $1.4 million, respectively, related to the acquisition of
Synet in October 2000 and $15.0 million and $650,000, respectively, related to
the acquisition of Global Integrity in December 2000.

         Loss on Equipment. For the year ended December 31, 2001, we recognized
a loss of $443,000 for equipment that was not in service and deemed to have no
salvage value.

         Impairment of Intangibles. During 2001, we integrated the acquisitions
of Synet and Global Integrity, which were acquired in the fourth quarter of
2000. As we approached the completion of the integration phase in the third
quarter of 2001, and in combination with revenue declines in the acquired
companies in relation to prior periods and forecasted earnings and the overall
deterioration of market conditions in the enterprise sector, we reviewed
goodwill and the intangible assets for impairment. We recognized an impairment
loss of $18.2 million and $42.3 million for the difference between the estimated
fair value of Synet and Global Integrity, respectively, based on future
discounted cashflows and the carrying amount of each of their assets and
liabilities, including goodwill.

         Restructuring and Other Charges. For the year ended December 31, 2001,
we reduced our headcount by 251 employees in connection with our restructuring
plan. These employees consisted of professional consultants and sales personnel,
as well as employees who held certain administrative and management positions
deemed to be duplicative functions. Amounts recognized as restructuring charges
included $3.4 million in severance benefits and other related expenses and $5.9
million in exit costs related to real estate and electronic equipment. In
December 2001, we formed a strategic alliance with Riptech for the outsourcing
of our monitoring services provided as part of our Managed Security Services
division. In connection with the outsourcing, we reduced our headcount by 12
employees and recorded restructuring charges of $4.4 million. Such charges
consisted of $315,000 in severance benefits, $798,000 in nonrecoverable costs to
convert clients to Riptech and other related charges, and $3.3 million for the
write-off of equipment and software development costs associated with our
security operations center which will no longer be needed as a result of the
outsourcing. Also included in the financial statement caption for the year ended
December 31, 2001 is $1,030,000 related to the write-off of internal software
management tools that no longer suit our business needs.

         Loss on Long-Term Investments in Related Parties. On March 22, 2001,
Paradigm4, Inc. filed for federal bankruptcy protection. This action created
significant uncertainty regarding our investment in Paradigm4. As a result, we
recognized a loss on our $1.0 million investment in Paradigm4 for the year ended
December 31, 2001. For the year ended December 31, 2001, we also recognized a
loss on its $1.0 million investment in Three Pillars due to management's
determination that the value of the investment was impaired.



                                       25
<PAGE>

         Noncash Compensation Expense. During 1999, we granted options to
purchase shares of common stock at exercises prices that were less than the fair
market value of the underlying shares of common stock resulting in deferred
compensation. During 2000, related to the acquisitions of Synet and Global
Integrity, we issued options to Synet and Global Integrity optionholders in
exchange for their Synet and Global Integrity options, respectively. The
unvested portion of their Synet and Global Integrity options resulted in
deferred compensation. These transactions result in noncash compensation expense
over the period that the specific options vest. For the years ended December 31,
2001 and 2000, we recorded approximately $276,000 and $158,000, respectively, of
noncash compensation expense related to these options.

         Other Income (Expense). Other income decreased to $2.5 million in 2001
from $6.8 million in 2000. This decrease was primarily due to a decrease in
interest income as a result of the utilization of cash and cash equivalents to
fund current operation needs and the Synet and Global Integrity acquisitions and
a general decline in interest rates.

         Income Taxes. Income tax benefit was $1,635,000 on pre-tax losses of
$142.5 million for 2001. In 2000, the income tax provision was $95,000 on
pre-tax losses of $3.8 million. The effective tax rate was (1.1)% and 2.5%
during 2001 and 2000, respectively. The current year deferred tax benefit was
due to the recognition of a benefit for net operating losses which are expected
to offset the income generated as the Company's deferred tax liabilities
decrease.

Years Ended December 31, 2000 and 1999

         Revenues. Substantially all of our revenues are derived from fees for
professional services. Revenues increased 67.4% to $88.3 million in 2000 from
$52.7 million in 1999. Revenues from professional services increased 68.3% to
$85.3 million in 2000 from $50.7 million in 1999. This increase was primarily
due to an increase in the number of professional services projects and an
increase in the size of the projects. Revenues from hardware and software sales
increased to $2.9 million in 2000 from $2.0 million in 1999. During 2000,
BellSouth accounted for 10.2% of our revenues. The number of our billable
consultants increased from approximately 302 at December 31, 1999 to
approximately 520 at December 31, 2000.

         Gross Profit. Gross profit increased 52.9% to $38.7 million in 2000
from $25.3 million in 1999. As a percentage of revenues, gross profit decreased
to 43.8% in 2000 from 47.9% in 1999. The increase in gross profit absolute
dollars was due to efficiencies in completing fixed-price, fixed-time projects
and an increase in average billing rates, offset by lower utilization rates.
Cost of revenues increased to $49.6 million in 2000 from $27.5 million in 1999.
This increase in cost of revenues was due to an increase in compensation and
benefits paid to consultants, which was directly related to increased revenue.

         Sales and Marketing Expenses. Sales and marketing expenses consist
primarily of compensation and benefits, travel expenses and promotional
expenses. Sales and marketing expenses increased 45.0% to $12.3 million in 2000
from $8.5 million in 1999. As a percentage of revenues, sales and marketing
expenses decreased to 13.9% in 2000 from 16.1% in 1999. This increase in
absolute dollars was primarily due to an increase of $1.3 million in
compensation and benefits paid due to the hiring of additional personnel, an
increase of $1.3 million in marketing expenses and an increase of $1.2 million
in commissions paid.

         General and Administrative Expenses. General and administrative
expenses increased 91.7% to $32.2 million in 2000 from $16.8 million in 1999. As
a percentage of revenues, general and administrative expenses were 36.5% in 2000
and 31.9% in 1999. The increase in absolute dollars was primarily due to an
increase of $5.7 million in recruiting and professional development and other
administrative costs, an increase of $2.7 million in facilities and equipment
costs, an increase of $2.6 million in compensation and benefits costs, and an
increase of $4.4 million in bad debt expense primarily due to accounts
receivable write-offs of $4.0 million related to ICG, Inc., North Point
Communications and Digital Broadband Communications, Inc. On November 14, 2000,
ICG, Inc. filed for federal bankruptcy protection, which created significant
uncertainty regarding our ability to collect the outstanding accounts
receivables due from them of $3.6 million. In addition, payments received in
2000 from ICG may be subject to a challenge under federal bankruptcy laws. On
December 27, 2000, Digital Broadband filed for federal bankruptcy protection,
which created significant uncertainty regarding our ability to collect the
outstanding accounts receivables due of $15,000. On January 16, 2001, North
Point filed for federal bankruptcy protection, which created significant
uncertainty regarding our ability to collect the outstanding accounts
receivables due of $350,000. The remaining increase represents additional
provision charged to expense, which was directly related to increased revenue
and trade accounts receivable balances.

         Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and amortization increased
119.2% to $1.7 million in 2000 from $756,000 in 1999. This increase was due to
purchases of additional equipment to support the expansion of our
infrastructure.

         Intangibles Amortization. Amortization of intangibles increased 790.5%
to $2.9 million in 2000 from $327,000 in 1999. In 2000, amount consisted of
$853,000 amortization of intangibles relating to our acquisition of Network
Resource Consultants and Company, $1.4 million amortization of Synet intangibles
related to the acquisition of Synet in October 2000 and $650,000 amortization of
Global intangibles related to the acquisition of Global in December 2000. In
1999, amortization was solely related to the Network Resource Consultants and
Company intangibles.

         Noncash Compensation Expense. During 1999, we granted options to
purchase shares of common stock at exercises prices that were less than the fair
market value of the underlying shares of common stock. During 2000, related to
the acquisitions of Synet and Global Integrity, we issued options to Synet and
Global Integrity optionholders in exchange for their Synet and Global Integrity
options, respectively. The unvested portion of their Synet and Global Integrity
options resulted in deferred compensation. These transactions result in noncash
compensation expense over the period that the specific options vest. For the
years ended of December 31, 2000 and 1999, we recorded approximately $158,000
and $48,000, respectively, of noncash compensation expense related to these
options.

         Other Income (Expense). Other income increased 688.2% to $6.8 million
in 2000 from $863,000 in 1999. This increase was primarily due to an increase of
$6.3 million in interest income related to net proceeds from our initial and
follow-on public offerings, which proceeds were invested in interest-bearing
cash equivalents and marketable securities.

         Income Taxes. Income tax provision was $95,000 on pre-tax losses of
$3.8 million for 2000. In 1999, the income tax provision was $682,000 on pre-tax
losses of $275,000. The effective tax rate was 2.5% and 248.3% during 2000 and
1999, respectively. The change in the effective tax rates primarily relates to
the provision for a valuation allowance against net operating losses of our
subsidiaries as well as non-deductible amortization expense of the intangibles
resulting from the acquisitions of Network Resource Consultants and Company,
Synet and Global Integrity.

         We have historically experienced significant quarterly fluctuations in
our revenues and results of operations and expect these fluctuations to
continue. Factors causing these variations include the number, timing, scope and
contractual terms of client projects, delays incurred in the performance of such
projects, accuracy of estimates of resources and time required to complete
ongoing projects, and general economic conditions. In addition, our future
revenues and operating results may fluctuate as a result of changes in pricing
in response to customer demand and competitive pressures, the ratio of
fixed-price contracts versus time-and-expense contracts and the timing of
collection of accounts receivable. A high percentage of our operating expenses,
particularly personnel and rent, are relatively fixed in advance of any
particular quarter. As a result, unanticipated variations in the number and
timing of our projects or in employee utilization rates may cause significant
variations in operating results in any particular quarter, and could result in
losses. Any significant shortfall of revenues in relation to our expectations,
any material reduction in utilization rates for our consultants, an
unanticipated termination of a major project, a client's decision not to pursue
a new project or proceed to succeeding stages of a current project, or the
completion during a quarter of several major customer projects could require us
to pay underutilized employees and have a material adverse effect on our
business, results of operations and financial condition.

         Our quarterly operating results are also subject to certain seasonal
fluctuations. We have in the past recruited new consultants in the first and
second quarters who have not conducted billable services until later in the
year. Demand for our services may be lower in the fourth quarter due to reduced
activity during the holiday season and fewer working days for those customers
that curtail operations during this period. These and other seasonal factors may
contribute to fluctuations in our operating results from quarter to quarter.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

         Since inception, we have financed our operations through borrowings
under short-term credit facilities, the sale of equity securities and cash flows
from operations. As of December 31, 2001, we had approximately $41.3 million in
cash and cash equivalents and $782,000 in restricted cash pursuant to certain
operating lease agreements.

         Net cash used in operating activities increased to $37.1 million for
2001 from $2.0 million for 2000 primarily due to losses generated in operations.
We experienced a decrease in accrued expenses and other current liabilities of
approximately $4.0 million and a decrease of $2.1 million in deferred income. We
also purchased $3.5 million in software inventory for resale of which $2.2
million remained in inventory at December 31, 2001. These net outflows of cash
were offset by net inflows of cash as a result of decreases in accounts
receivable, related party receivables and unbilled work in process of $6.6
million, $3.7 million and $2.8 million, respectively. Such decreases were
attributable to increased collection efforts and declining revenues due to
difficult market conditions. Accounts payable increased by $2.4 million of which
approximately $1.5 million related to the purchase of software inventory for
resale. Net cash used in operating activities for 2000 decreased to $2.0 million
from $2.6 million for 1999. A significant use of cash resulted from an increase
in accounts receivable, related party receivables and unbilled work in process
of $5.7 million, $3.8 million and $1.7 million, respectively, as a result of the
increase in revenues, offset by an increase in accrued expenses and other
current liabilities of $3.7 million. Net cash used in operating activities for
1999 resulted from an increase in accounts receivable and related party
receivables of $7.6 million as a result of the increase in revenues, offset by
an increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses and other current
liabilities.

         Net cash used in investing activities was $3.6 million in 2001, $53.6
million in 2000 and $2.5 million in 1999. Capital expenditures were $7.4 million
for 2001, $6.9 million for 2000 and $2.1 million for 1999. Capital expenditures
consisted of computer equipment, office furniture and leasehold improvements in
connection with the investment in our infrastructure. Also included in capital
expenditures for 2001 was $2.5 million of costs incurred in connection with the
development of software to be used for internal purposes. In 2000, a significant
use of cash resulted from $43.3 million net cash paid in the acquisitions of
Synet and Global Integrity and $2.0 million in long-term investments.

<PAGE>


         Net cash provided by financing activities was $2.0 million for 2001,
$45.9 million for 2000 and $94.8 million for 1999. Cash provided by financing
activities for 2001 resulted from the receipt of proceeds from the exercise of
options and the sale of common stock in connection with our Employee Stock
Purchase Plan. Cash provided by financing activities for 2000 resulted from the
receipt of approximately $39.8 million in net proceeds from the sale of common
stock in a follow-on offering, $3.6 million in proceeds from exercise of stock
options and $2.6 million in proceeds from the sale of common stock in connection
with our Employee Stock Purchase Plan. Cash provided by financing activities for
1999 resulted from the receipt of approximately $75.1 million in net proceeds
from the sale of common stock in the initial public offering, the receipt of
approximately $18.6 million in net proceeds related to the sale of preferred
stock and the receipt of approximately $15.5 million in net proceeds from the
sale of common stock to Cisco and partnerships affiliated with General Atlantic
Partners, LLC prior to the initial public offering, offset partially by the
repayment of short-term borrowings and repurchase of treasury stock.

         We have a demand loan facility, secured by a lien on all of our assets,
under which we may borrow up to the lesser of $5.0 million or 80.0% of our
accounts receivable. Amounts outstanding under the facility bear interest at the
lender's base rate which was 4.75% as of December 31, 2001. At December 31, 2001
there were no amounts outstanding under the facility.

         We have commitments to make future payments under various lease
agreements for computer equipment, office furniture and office space. Future
commitments under these leases are as follows:

         Based on our current revenue projections, we believe that we will
continue to be cash flow negative for at least the first six months of the 2002.
We believe that our existing cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities
will be sufficient to meet our anticipated needs for working capital and capital
expenditures for at least the next twelve months. If cash generated from
operations is insufficient to satisfy our liquidity requirements, we may seek to
sell additional equity or debt securities or to obtain a credit facility. The
sale of additional equity or convertible debt securities could result in
dilution to our stockholders. The incurrence of indebtedness would result in
increased fixed obligations and could result in operating covenants that would
restrict our operations. We cannot assure you that financing will be available
in amounts or on terms acceptable to us, if at all.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

         In June 1998, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging
Activities" (SFAS 133). SFAS 133 establishes accounting and reporting standards
requiring that every derivative instrument be recorded in the balance sheet as
either an asset or liability measured at its fair value. SFAS 133 requires that
changes in the derivative's fair value be recognized currently in earnings
unless specific hedge accounting criteria are met. SFAS 133 is effective for
fiscal years beginning after June 15, 1999. In July 1999, the FASB approved SFAS
No. 137, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities-Deferral
of the Effective Date of SFAS 133, which amends SFAS 133 to be effective for all
fiscal quarters of all fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000. As the
Company currently does not engage in derivative instruments or hedging
activities, the adoption of this accounting principle on January 1, 2001 did not
have a material impact on the Company's financial position or results of
operations.

         In July 2001, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 141, "Business Combinations" (SFAS 141) and No. 142, "Goodwill and
Other Intangible Assets" (SFAS 142). SFAS 141 requires all business combinations
initiated after June 30, 2001 to be accounted for using the purchase method.
Under SFAS 142, goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives are no
longer amortized but are reviewed annually (or more frequently if impairment
indicators arise) for impairment. Separable intangible assets that are not
deemed to have indefinite lives will continue to be amortized over their useful
lives (but with no maximum life). The amortization provisions of SFAS 142 apply
to goodwill and intangible assets acquired after June 30, 2001. The Company will
adopt the provisions of SFAS 142 on January 1, 2002.


         In August 2001, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting
Standard No. 143, "Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations" (SFAS 143),
which is effective October 1, 2003. SFAS 143 requires, among other things, the
accounting and reporting of legal obligations associated with the retirement of
long-lived assets that result from the acquisition, construction, development or
normal operation of a long-lived asset. The Company is currently assessing, but
has not yet determined the effect, if any, of SFAS 143.



                                       30

         In August 2001, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting
Standard No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived
Assets" (SFAS 144). This statement supersedes SFAS No. 121 "Accounting for the
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of" and
Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 30 "Reporting Results of Operations -
Reporting the Effects of Disposal of a Segment of a Business, and Extraordinary,
Unusual and Infrequently Occurring Events and Transactions". The Statement
retains the fundamental provisions of SFAS No. 121 for recognition and
measurement of impairment, but amends the accounting and reporting standards for
segments of a business to be disposed of. The provisions of this statement are
required to be adopted no later than fiscal years beginning after December 31,
2001, with early adoption encouraged. The Company is currently evaluating the
impact of the adoption of SFAS No. 144, which the Company expects will not be
material.

         On November 14-15, 2001, the Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) of the
FASB concluded that reimbursements received for "out-of-pocket" expenses should
be classified as revenue, and correspondingly cost of services, in the income
statement. The new accounting treatment should be applied in financial reporting
periods (years) beginning as early as the March 2002 quarter. Upon application
of the pronouncement, comparative financial statements for prior periods must
also be reclassified in order to ensure consistency among all periods presented.
The Company has not yet determined the impact of this pronouncement on its
results of operations.

Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

Currency Rate Fluctuations.

         Our results of operations, financial position and cash flows are not
materially affected by changes in the relative values of non-U.S. currencies to
the U.S. dollar. We do not use derivative financial instruments to limit our
foreign currency risk exposure.

Market Risk.

         Our accounts receivable are subject, in the normal course of business,
to collection risks. We regularly assess these risks and have established
policies and business practices to protect against the adverse effects of
collection risks. As a result, we do not anticipate any material losses in this
area.

Interest Rate Risks.

         We do not currently have any outstanding indebtedness, with the
exception of capital leases. In addition, our investments are classified as cash
and cash equivalents with original maturities of three months or less.
Therefore, we are not exposed to material market risk arising from interest rate
changes, nor do such changes affect the value of investments as recorded by us.

                    REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS

To Predictive Systems, Inc.:

         We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of
Predictive Systems, Inc. (a Delaware corporation) and subsidiaries as of
December 31, 2001 and 2000, and the related consolidated statements of
operations, stockholders' equity and comprehensive income (loss) and cash flows
for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2001. These
financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on
our audits.

         We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally
accepted in the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform
the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements
are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis,
evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An
audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis
for our opinion.

         In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Predictive Systems,
Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2001 and 2000, and the results of their
operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended
December 31, 2001 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in
the United States.

concurrently dissolved. The financial statements and footnotes reflect the
combined operations and financial position of the Company and the Parent for all
periods presented.

         The Company provides network security and consulting services and
managed security services for the design, performance, management and security
of complex computing networks. Services are currently provided through the
Company's offices and wholly-owned subsidiaries located throughout the United
States and its wholly-owned subsidiaries in England, which was formed in the
first quarter of 1999, The Netherlands, which was acquired in the third quarter
of 1999, two subsidiaries in Germany, one of which was acquired in the fourth
quarter of 2000 through the acquisition of Synet and a second subsidiary which
was formed in the first quarter of 2001, and in Japan, which was also formed in
the first quarter of 2001.

(2) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies:

Principles of Consolidation

         The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of all
wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and
transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Use of Estimates

         The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Revenue and Cost Recognition

         Revenues for time-and-material contracts are recognized as the services
are rendered. Revenues for fixed-price contracts are recognized as services are
rendered on the percentage-of-completion method of accounting based on the ratio
of costs incurred to total estimated costs. Revenues for subscription-based
contracts are recognized on a straight-line basis over the period of service.
Provisions for estimated losses on uncompleted contracts are made in the period
in which such losses are determined. The Company acts as a reseller of certain
hardware and software and sales revenue is recognized when these products are
shipped to the customer. Revenues for the resale of inventory are recognized on
a net basis in the period of resale as the Company is not the primary obligor in
the arrangement and receives a stated percentage of the amount billed to the
customer.

         Unbilled work in process represents costs incurred and estimated
earnings, production, and other client-reimbursable costs. Included in unbilled
work in process as of December 31, 2001 and 2000 is $633,856 and $4,193,223,
respectively, related to fixed-price contracts.

         Deferred income represents prepayments from customers that are recorded
as liabilities for future services to be performed. Income is recognized upon
performance of these related services.

Cash Equivalents

         The Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of
three months or less at the time of purchase to be cash equivalents.

Restricted Cash

         The Company is required under the terms of certain lease agreements to
provide letters of credit. The credit facility agreement used to provide these
financial guarantees places restrictions on the Company's cash and cash
equivalents. Restricted cash of $782,292 at December 31, 2001 was pledged as
collateral under this agreement.

(2) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies: -- (Continued)

Marketable Securities

         The Company accounts for marketable securities in accordance with the
provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 115, "Accounting
for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities."

         Management determines the appropriate classification of its investments
in equity securities at the time of purchase and reevaluates such determinations
at each balance sheet date. All marketable securities are classified as
available-for-sale and are available to support current operations or take
advantage of other investment opportunities. These securities are stated at
estimated fair value based upon market quotes. Unrealized gains and losses, net
of taxes, are computed on the basis of specific identification and are recorded
as a component of other comprehensive income. Unrealized gains and losses in
fiscal years 2001, 2000 and 1999 were immaterial.

Inventory Held for Resale

         Inventory held for resale is stated at the lower of cost or market. At
December 31, 2001, inventory held for resale was $2,205,986.

Property and Equipment

         Computer equipment and office furniture are carried at their cost basis
and depreciated using the straight-line method over their estimated useful
lives, ranging from three to seven years. Leasehold improvements are amortized
over the lesser of their estimated useful lives or the life of the lease.
Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as incurred
and major expenditures for renewals and betterments are capitalized and
depreciated over their useful lives.

         The Company accounts for internal use software under Statement of
Position 98-1, "Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software Developed or
Obtained for Internal Use" (SOP 98-1). SOP 98-1 requires the capitalization of
certain costs incurred in connection with developing or obtaining internal use
software. As of December 31, 2001, the Company capitalized $2,474,656 in
internally developed software costs. Such costs will be amortized once the
software is ready for its intended use, which is expected to be in fiscal 2002,
using the straight-line method over a period of three years.

Intangibles

         Intangible assets principally include customer lists, workforce,
developed technology, tradenames and the excess of purchase price over the fair
value of identifiable net assets acquired (goodwill). The intangible assets are
amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives ranging
from three to five years.

         The Company assesses the recoverability of intangibles by determining
whether the amortization of the goodwill balance over its remaining life can be
recovered through forecasted future operations. Impairment is evaluated by
comparing future cash flows (undiscounted and without interest charges) expected
to result from the use or sale of the asset and its eventual disposition, to the
carrying amount of the asset. (Note 6)

Business Concentrations and Credit Risk

         Financial instruments, which subject the Company to concentrations of
credit risk, consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents and trade accounts
receivable. The Company maintains cash and cash equivalents with various
financial institutions. The Company performs periodic evaluations of the
relative credit standing of these institutions. The Company's clients are
primarily concentrated in the United States. The Company generally does not
require collateral and establishes an allowance for doubtful accounts based upon
factors surrounding the credit risk of customers, historical trends and other
information. For the years ended December 31, 2001 and 2000, the Company
recorded bad debt expense of $4.7 million and $4.9 million, respectively. The
Company wrote-off trade accounts receivable of approximately $1,925,000 and
$3,996,000, respectively, in 2001 and 2000 as a result of customers filing for
federal bankruptcy protection, which created significant uncertainty regarding
the Company's ability to collect these outstanding trade accounts receivable
balances. The remaining expense for the years ended December 31, 2001 and 2000
was additional provision based on the Company's analysis of its accounts
receivable balances.

         For the years ended December 31, 2001 and 2000, approximately 17% and
10% of sales, respectively, were from one customer who is a related party (Note
7). The amounts due from this customer at December 31, 2001 and 2000 were
$994,322 and $2,843,901, respectively. For the year ended December 31, 1999,
approximately 31% of sales were from two customers. For the years ended December
31, 2001, 2000 and 1999, the Company's five largest customers accounted for
approximately 40.6%, 37.8% and 45.8% of revenues, respectively.

(2) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies: -- (Continued)

Foreign Currency Translation

         The financial statements of foreign subsidiaries, where the local
currency is the functional currency, are translated into U.S. dollars using
exchange rates in effect at period end for assets and liabilities and average
rates during each reporting period for results of operations and cash flows.
Adjustments resulting from translation of financial statements are reflected as
a separate component of stockholders' equity.

Income Taxes

         The Company accounts for income taxes under Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes" (SFAS 109).
SFAS 109 requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the
expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the
financial statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred tax assets and
liabilities are determined based on the differences between the financial
statement and the tax basis of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in
effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. (Note 11)

Net Income (Loss) per Share

         The Company computes net income (loss) per share in accordance with
SFAS No. 128, "Earnings per Share" (SFAS 128). Under the provisions of SFAS 128,
basic net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss)
available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares
outstanding. Diluted net income (loss) per share (Diluted EPS) is computed by
dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares and
dilutive common share equivalents outstanding.

Accounting for Long-Lived Assets

         The Company accounts for long-lived assets in accordance with the
provisions of SFAS No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of" (SFAS 121). This statement
establishes financial accounting and reporting standards for the impairment of
long-lived assets, certain identifiable intangibles, and goodwill related to
those assets to be held and used, and for long-lived assets and certain
identifiable intangibles to be disposed of. SFAS 121 requires, among other
things, that an entity review its long-lived assets and certain related
intangibles for impairment whenever changes in circumstances indicate that the
carrying amount of an asset may not be fully recoverable. The Company reviewed
its long-lived assets for impairment for the year ended December 31, 2001. Based
on this review, the Company recognized an impairment loss of $18.2 million and
$42.3 million, respectively, for the difference between the estimated fair value
of Synet and Global Integrity and the carrying amount of each of their assets
and liabilities, including goodwill.

Stock-Based Compensation

         The Company observes the provisions of SFAS No. 123 "Accounting for
Stock-Based Compensation" (SFAS 123), and elected to continue the accounting set
forth in Accounting Principles Board No. 25 "Accounting for Stock Issued to
Employees" (APB 25) and to provide the necessary pro forma disclosures as if the
fair value method had been applied. (Note 12)

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

         The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, accounts and other
receivables, and accounts payable approximate fair value due to the short-term
maturity of these instruments. The carrying amounts of outstanding borrowings
approximate fair value.

Comprehensive Income

         The Company observes SFAS No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income"
(SFAS 130). The standard requires that comprehensive income, which includes net
income as well as certain changes in assets and liabilities recorded in
stockholders' equity, be reported in the financial statements. The adoption of
SFAS 130 increased the reporting disclosures but had no impact on the results of
operations or financial position of the Company.

Segment Reporting

         SFAS No. 131, "Disclosures About Segments of an Enterprise and Related
Information" establishes standards for the way public business enterprises
report information about operating segments in annual financial statements and
requires that those enterprises report selected information about operating
segments in interim financial reports issued to shareholders. The Company
believes it operates in three segments. The Company evaluates the performance of
its segments based on their operating income (loss), which represents segment
revenues less direct costs of operation excluding the allocation of corporate
expense. (Note 14)

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

         In June 1998, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging
Activities" (SFAS 133). SFAS 133 establishes accounting and reporting standards
requiring that every derivative instrument be recorded in the balance sheet as
either an asset or liability measured at its fair value. SFAS 133 requires that
changes in the derivative's fair value be recognized currently in earnings
unless specific hedge accounting criteria are met. SFAS 133 is effective for
fiscal years beginning after June 15, 1999. In July 1999, the FASB approved SFAS
No. 137, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities-Deferral
of the Effective Date of SFAS 133, which amends SFAS 133 to be effective for all
fiscal quarters of all fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000. As the
Company currently does not engage in derivative instruments or hedging
activities, the adoption of this accounting principle on January 1, 2001 did not
have a material impact on the Company's financial position or results of
operations.

         In July 2001, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 141, "Business Combinations" (SFAS 141) and No. 142, "Goodwill and
Other Intangible Assets" (SFAS 142). SFAS 141 requires all business combinations
initiated after June 30, 2001 to be accounted for using the purchase method.
Under SFAS 142, goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives are no
longer amortized but are reviewed annually (or more frequently if impairment
indicators arise) for impairment. Separable intangible assets that are not
deemed to have indefinite lives will continue to be amortized over their useful
lives (but with no maximum life). The amortization provisions of SFAS 142 apply
to goodwill and intangible assets acquired after June 30, 2001. The Company will
adopt the provisions of SFAS 142 effective January 1, 2002. The Company has not
yet assessed the impact of this pronouncement on its results of operations.

         In August 2001, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting
Standard No. 143, "Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations" (SFAS 143),
which is effective October 1, 2003. SFAS 143 requires, among other things, the
accounting and reporting of legal obligations associated with the retirement of
long-lived assets that result from the acquisition, construction, development or
normal operation of a long-lived asset. The Company is currently assessing, but
has not yet determined the effect, if any, of SFAS 143.

         In August 2001, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting
Standard No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived
Assets" (SFAS 144). This statement supersedes SFAS No. 121 "Accounting for the
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of" and
Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 30 "Reporting Results of Operations -
Reporting the Effects of Disposal of a Segment of a Business, and Extraordinary,
Unusual and Infrequently Occurring Events and Transactions". The Statement
retains the fundamental provisions of SFAS No. 121 for recognition and
measurement of impairment, but amends the accounting and reporting standards for
segments of a business to be disposed of. The provisions of this statement are
required to be adopted no later than fiscal years beginning after December 31,
2001, with early adoption encouraged. The Company is currently evaluating the
impact of the adoption of SFAS No. 144, which the Company expects will not be
material.

         On November 14-15, 2001, the Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) of the
FASB concluded that reimbursements received for "out-of-pocket" expenses should
be classified as revenue, and correspondingly cost of services, in the income
statement. The new accounting treatment should be applied in financial reporting
periods (years) beginning as early as the March 2002 quarter. Upon application
of the pronouncement, comparative financial statements for prior periods must
also be reclassified in order to ensure consistency among all periods presented.
The Company has not yet determined the impact of this pronouncement on its
results of operations.

Reclassification

         Certain items have been reclassified in the prior year to conform to
the current year presentation.

(3) Acquisitions:

         On August 12, 1999, the Company acquired Network Resource Consultants
and Company B.V. (NRCC) in a transaction accounted for as a purchase. In
connection with this transaction, the Company exchanged 1,062,814 shares of its
common stock at a fair value of $4.3 million in exchange for all of the
outstanding stock of NRCC. The Company acquired net tangible assets of
approximately $88,000 and recorded intangible assets of approximately $4.3
million, which represented the excess of the purchase price over the fair value
of the net tangible assets acquired. The intangible assets are being amortized
on a straight-line basis over a period of five years. The results of operations
of NRCC have been included in the results of operations of the Company since the
date of acquisition.

         The preliminary purchase price allocation as of December 31, 1999 is as
follows:

     Cash and cash equivalents...................................  $  163,768
     Accounts receivable, net....................................     322,149

                                                                   ==========

         On October 16, 2000, the Company acquired Synet Service Corporation
(Synet) in a transaction accounted for as a purchase. Synet is a network and
systems management consulting firm that works with organizations to improve the
availability and reliability of e-commerce applications and network
infrastructure. The consideration for the acquisition consisted of an aggregate
of 1,922,377 shares of common stock at a fair value of $11.00 per share, par
value $0.001 per share, $9,000,000 cash paid upon closing of the transaction,
$1,053,164 cash paid to fund the operating needs of Synet prior to the closing
of the transaction and transaction expenses of $1,085,417, of which all have
been paid as of December 31, 2001. Approximately 522,000 shares were accounted
for as stock options until a related note was repaid in December 2000, at which
time the shares were considered to be issued for accounting purposes. The
Company also issued options to purchase 242,459 shares of common stock to
employees of Synet in exchange for their Synet options. These options had a fair
value of $1,110,893 and were accounted for as additional purchase price. The
Company acquired net tangible assets of $1,222,646 and recorded intangible
assets of approximately $33.4 million, which represented customer lists,
workforce and excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net
tangible assets of approximately $30.4 million. Additionally, the Company
recognized a deferred income tax liability of $1,184,620 related to the
nondeductibility of certain acquired identifiable intangibles. In 2001, the
Company recorded an additional $498,000 to the purchase price for the closing of
certain offices and a reduction in workforce in connection with the Company's
acquisition plan. This amount consisted of $254,000 for severance benefits for
22 employees and $244,000 for exit costs related to real estate. Additionally,
the Company recorded an additional reduction to the purchase price of
approximately $475,000 as part of the final purchase price allocation. As of
December 31, 2001, approximately $256,000 remained unpaid for severance and exit
costs. Such amount is reflected in accrued expenses and other current
liabilities. During 2001, the Company integrated the acquisition of Synet. As
the Company approached the completion of the integration phase during the third
quarter of fiscal 2001, and in combination with revenue declines in this
business in relation to prior periods and forecasted earnings and the overall
deterioration of market conditions in the enterprise sector, the Company
reviewed goodwill and the intangible assets for impairment. As a result of this
review, an impairment loss of $18.2 million was recognized for the difference
between the estimated value of Synet based on future discounted cashflows and
the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities, including goodwill. Since the
acquisition, goodwill and the intangible assets are being amortized on a
straight-line basis over periods of three to five years. The results of
operations of Synet have been included in the results of operations of the
Company since the date of acquisition.

         On December 14, 2000, the Company acquired Global Integrity Corporation
(Global Integrity) in a transaction accounted for as a purchase. Global
Integrity provides information security services to Fortune 500 and Global 1000
companies. The consideration for the acquisition consisted of an aggregate of
5,240,275 shares of common stock at a fair value of $8.15 per share, par value
$0.001 per share, $31,460,270 cash paid upon the closing of the transaction and
transaction expenses of $1,830,162, of which all have been paid as of December
31, 2001. The Company also issued options to purchase 551,048 shares of common
stock to employees of Global Integrity in exchange for their Global Integrity
options. These options had a fair value of $2,233,769 and were accounted for as
additional purchase price. Additionally, the Global Integrity stockholders and
optionholders have the right to earn up to an additional $14,012,500 in value
(to be paid in cash to stockholders and additional options to optionholders)
upon the achievement of certain revenue milestones by the acquired business. The
Company has made no earnout payments as of December 31, 2001. The Company
acquired net tangible assets of $4,482,032 and recorded intangible assets of
approximately $81.1 million, which represented customer lists, workforce,
tradenames, developed technology and excess of the purchase price over the fair
value of the net tangible assets of approximately $62.8 million. Additionally,
the Company recognized a deferred income tax liability of $7,308,222 related to
the nondeductibility of certain acquired identifiable intangibles. In 2001, the
Company recorded an additional $3.2 million to the purchase price for the
closing of certain offices and a reduction in workforce in connection with the
Company's acquisition plan. This amount consisted of $178,000 for severance
benefits for 20 employees and $3.0 million for exit costs related to real
estate. Additionally, the Company recorded an additional reduction to the
purchase price of approximately $30,000 as part of the final purchase price
allocation. As of December 31, 2001, approximately $2.0 million remained unpaid
for severance benefits and exit costs. Such amount is reflected in accrued
expenses and other current liabilities. During 2001, the Company integrated the
acquisition of Global Integrity. As the Company approached the completion of the
integration phase during the third quarter of fiscal 2001, and in combination
with revenue declines in this business in relation to prior periods and
forecasted earnings and the overall deterioration of market conditions in the
enterprise sector, the Company reviewed goodwill and the intangible assets for
impairment. As a result of this review, an impairment loss of $42.3 million was
recognized for the difference between the estimated value of Global Integrity
based on future discounted cashflows and the carrying amount of its assets and
liabilities, including goodwill. Since the acquisition, goodwill and the
intangible assets are being amortized on a straight-line basis over periods of
three to five years. The results of operations of Global Integrity have been
included in the results of operations of the Company since the date of
acquisition.

difference between the estimated fair value of Synet and Global Integrity,
respectively, based on future discounted cashflows and the carrying amount of
each of their assets and liabilities, including goodwill.

         On January 1, 1998, the Company converted from a cash basis to an
accrual basis taxpayer. The conversion from the cash basis to accrual basis
required the recognition of a deferred tax liability of approximately
$1,667,000. Effective October 16, 2000, Synet converted from a cash basis to an
accrual basis taxpayer as of the acquisition date. The conversion from the cash
basis to accrual basis required the recognition of a deferred tax asset of
approximately $76,000 which was recognized as an acquired asset. Other major
components of the deferred tax assets and (liabilities) as of December 31, 2001
and 2000 are as follows:

         At December 31, 2001 the Company had available net operating loss
carryforwards of approximately $129,000,000 to reduce future period's taxable
income. These loss carryforwards begin to expire in 2018. Included in the net
operating loss carryforward at December 31, 2001 is approximately $67,200,000
related to the exercise of nonqualified stock options and disqualifying
dispositions. Valuation allowances were recorded in 2001 and 2000 for
approximately $4,000,000 and $52,800,000, respectively, related to stock option
compensation which, tax effected, will be credited to equity upon utilization of
tax carryforwards.

         At December 31, 2001, the Company's subsidiaries in England, The
Netherlands, Germany, and Japan had available net operating losses of
approximately $4,000,000 in total, the tax benefits of which have been reserved
for by a valuation allowance because of the uncertainty of their realizability.

(12) Stockholders' Equity:

Preferred Stock

         Since inception, the Company has issued two types of preferred stock.
The following is a discussion of each of these issuances:

         In 1995, the Company issued 4,200,000 shares of mandatory redeemable
convertible preferred stock (the 1995 Preferred Shares) at a price of $0.17 per
share. The shares accrued dividends at 5% per year, commencing March 1, 1997.
Each share was convertible, subject to certain adjustments, into 1 share of
common stock, at the option of the holder. During the quarter ended March 31,
1999, the holders of the 1995 Preferred Shares exercised their conversion rights
and converted all outstanding shares into 4,200,000 shares of common stock. In
connection with the conversion, the Company paid $70,000 of accumulated
dividends on the 1995 Preferred Shares.

            NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (Continued)

(12) Stockholders' Equity: -- (Continued)

         On March 5, 1999, the Company sold 6,512,316 shares of convertible
preferred stock (the 1999 Preferred Shares) to General Atlantic Partners 54,
L.P. (5,350,441 shares), GAP Coinvestment Partners II, LP (1,112,765 shares),
and other investors (49,110 shares) resulting in net proceeds of approximately
$18,600,000. The 1999 Preferred Shares were converted into common shares on a 1
to 1 ratio on the date of the initial public offering.

         In connection with the issuance of the 1999 Preferred Shares to General
Atlantic Partners 54, L.P. and GAP Coinvestment Partners II, L.P., warrants were
issued to purchase shares of common stock equal to 15% of the number of shares
sold in the proposed initial public offering at a price equal to the initial
price to the public. In order to exercise the warrants, a notice of exercise was
required to be delivered within 20 business days following the first filing of
the Company's registration statement on Form S-1. These warrants expired without
any common stock purchases.

Common Stock

         The following is a summary of transactions involving the Company's
common stock:

         Subsequent to the conversion of the 1995 Preferred Shares, the Company
repurchased 2,855,100 shares of common stock at a purchase price of
approximately $2.94 per share.

         On August 12, 1999, the Company issued 1,062,814 shares of common stock
to two persons in exchange for all of the outstanding capital stock of NRCC.

         On September 16, 1999, the Company sold 1,242,000 shares of its common
stock to Cisco Systems, Inc. at a price of $12.00 per share. In connection with
this transaction, the Company entered into an Investor's Rights Agreement with
Cisco Systems, Inc. pursuant to which the Company granted Cisco Systems, Inc.
certain registration rights.

         On September 22, 1999, the Company sold 94,867 and 18,133 shares of its
common stock to General Atlantic Partners 54, L.P. and GAP Coinvestment Partners
II, L.P., respectively, at a price of $12.00 per share.

         On November 1, 1999, the Company sold 4,600,000 shares of common stock
at an initial public offering price of $18.00 per share and began trading on the
Nasdaq National Market under the symbol PRDS. The net proceeds of the offering
were approximately $75.1 million after deducting underwriting discounts,
commissions, and other offering expenses.

         On April 5, 2000, the Company consummated a follow-on public offering
for 3,800,000 shares of its common stock at an offering price of $43.00 per
share, of which 1,000,000 shares were sold by the Company, while the remainder
were sold by certain stockholders, resulting in net proceeds to the Company of
approximately $39.8 million after deducting underwriter discounts, commissions
and other offering expenses payable by the Company.

         On October 16, 2000, in connection with the acquisition of Synet the
Company issued 1,922,377 shares of common stock at $11.00 per share less 521,765
shares which were accounted for as stock options until a related note was repaid
in December 2000, at which time the shares were issued. The Company also issued
options to purchase 242,459 shares of common stock to the former stockholders
and optionholders of Synet.

         On December 14, 2000, in connection with the acquisition of Global the
Company issued 5,240,275 shares of common stock at $8.15 per share and options
to purchase 551,048 shares of common stock to the former stockholders and
optionholders of Global.

Stock Options

         In 1998, the Company adopted its Stock Option/Stock Issuance Plan (the
Option Plan). Prior to this time, options issued were not issued in connection
with a plan. The Option Plan is divided into two separate equity programs, the
Option Grant Program and the Stock Issuance Program. Under the Option Grant
Program, the Company may issue either incentive stock options or nonqualified
stock options. Under the Stock Issuance Program the Company may issue shares of
common stock either through the purchase of such shares or as a bonus for
services rendered. To date, no shares have been issued under the Stock Issuance
Program. Awards under either program may be granted to such directors, employees
and consultants of the Company as the Board of Directors selects in its
discretion.

(12) Stockholders' Equity: -- (Continued)

         The 1999 Stock Incentive Plan (the 1999 Plan), adopted and effective on
September 14, 1999, is intended to serve as the successor equity incentive
program to the Option Plan. The Company has authorized 6,655,600 shares of
common stock for issuance under the 1999 Plan. This share reserve consists of
the shares which were available for issuance under the predecessor plan on the
effective date of the 1999 Plan plus an additional increase of 2,345,597 shares.
The share reserve automatically increases on the first trading day of January
each calendar year, beginning in January 2001, by a number of shares equal to 1%
of the total number of shares of common stock outstanding on the last trading
day of the immediately preceding calendar year, but no such annual increase will
exceed 500,000 shares. However, in no event may any one participant in the 1999
Plan receive option grants or direct stock issuances for more than 500,000
shares in the aggregate per calendar year. On January 1, 2001 the share reserve
was increased by 349,036 shares. Additionally, the reserve was increased at the
2000 annual shareholder meeting by 3,000,000 shares. The number of options
available for grant as of December 31, 2001 are 42,086.

         Outstanding options under the Option Plan were incorporated into the
1999 Plan upon the date of the initial public offering, and no further option
grants may be made under the Option Plan. The incorporated options will continue
to be governed by their existing terms, unless the Company extends one or more
features of the 1999 Plan to those options.

         The Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the Employee Plan) was adopted and
approved by the Company on September 14, 1999. The plan, effective on October
27, 1999, is designed to allow eligible employees, as defined, to purchase
shares of common stock, at semi-annual intervals, through periodic payroll
deductions. A total of 750,000 shares of common stock may be issued under this
plan. As of December 31, 2001 and 2000, 373,848 and 192,723 shares,
respectively, were issued in connection with the Employee Plan.

         The Employee Plan has a series of successive offering periods, each
with a maximum duration of 24 months. The current offering period began on the
last business day of October 2001 and will end on the last business day of
October 2003. The Employee Plan will terminate no later than the last business
day in October 2009.

         Individuals who are eligible employees on the start date of any
offering period may enter the Employee Plan on that start date or on any
subsequent semi-annual entry date (generally May 1 or November 1 each year).
Individuals who become eligible employees after the start date of the offering
period may join the Employee Plan on any subsequent semi-annual entry date
within that period. A participant may contribute up to 10% of his or her cash
earnings through payroll deductions and the accumulated payroll deductions will
be applied to the purchase of shares on the participant's behalf on each
semi-annual purchase date (the last business day in January and July each year).
The purchase price per share will be 85% of the lower of the fair market value
of the common stock on the participant's entry date into the offering period or
the fair market value on the semi-annual purchase date. The first purchase date
will occur on the last business day in April 2000. In no event, however, may any
participant purchase more than 500 shares, nor may all participants in the
aggregate purchase more than 187,500 shares on any one semi-annual purchase
date. Should the fair market value of the common stock on any semi-annual
purchase date be less than the fair market value on the first day of the
offering period, then the current offering period will automatically end and a
new offering period will begin, based on the lower fair market value.

         A summary of the Company's stock option activity is as follows --

         The Company has elected to follow APB 25 in accounting for its employee
stock options. Had the determination of compensation costs been based on the
fair value at the grant dates consistent with the method of SFAS 123, the
Company's loss and basic and diluted loss per share would have been reduced to
the pro forma amounts in the table below.

     The fair value of all option grants is estimated on the date of grant using
the Black-Scholes model with the following weighted-average assumptions used for
grants in 2001, 2000 and 1999.

      o  weighted-average risk free interest rates of 5.47%, 5.97% and 5.79%,
         respectively;

      o  expected dividend yields of 0%;

      o  expected lives of 4 years; and

      o  expected volatility of 60.59%, 76.15% and 73.17%, respectively.

Deferred Compensation

         During 1999, the Company granted stock options with exercise prices
which were less than the fair market value of the underlying shares of common
stock at the date of grant. As a result, the Company recorded deferred
compensation of $304,625. In connection with the acquisition of Synet and Global
Integrity, the Company granted stock options to employees of Synet and Global
Integrity which had exercise prices that were less than the fair market value of
the underlying shares of common stock at the date of grant. As a result, the
Company recorded deferred compensation of $474,308 and $120,857, respectively.
These amounts were to be recognized as noncash compensation expense over the
vesting period of the options (approximately 4 years). During 2001, the Company
adjusted deferred compensation for $319,401 for options which had been cancelled
during the year. For the years ended December 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999, $275,732,
$157,557 and $47,953, respectively, of the deferred compensation was amortized
to expense and has been reflected as noncash compensation expense in the
accompanying statements of operations.

during 2001, 2000 or 1999.

Employment Agreements

         The Company has entered into employment agreements with certain
executives of the Company. The employment agreements have various expiration
dates through June 2004, and automatically renew unless either party gives
notice of termination. Commitments under these agreements provide for annual
payments of approximately $739,000, $510,000 and $164,000 for fiscal years 2002,
2003 and 2004, respectively.

Litigation

         Except as set forth below, the Company is not a party to any material
legal proceedings.

         On November 13, 2001, a securities class action complaint was filed in
the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York against
certain investment banks that underwrote the Company's initial public offering,
Predictive, and certain of our officers and directors. This action has been
coordinated with over 300 virtually identical actions against other companies
and the investment banks that underwrote their initial public offerings. The
complaint filed against the Company generally alleges that the underwriters
obtained excessive and undisclosed commissions from customers who received
allocations of shares in the Company's initial and secondary public offerings
and that the underwriters maintained artificially inflated prices in the after
market through "tie-in" arrangements, which required customers to buy additional
shares of the Company's stock at pre-determined prices in excess of the offering
prices. The complaint further alleges that the Company's officers and directors
violated Sections 11, 12(2), and 15 of the Securities Act of 1933 because the
Company's registration statements did not disclose the purported misconduct of
the underwriters. Plaintiffs seek an unspecified amount of damages on behalf of
persons who purchased our stock pursuant to the registration statements. The
Company believes that the allegations against it are without merit and intends
to defend the case vigorously.


(14) Industry Segment Information:

         The Company's reportable segments are US Consulting, International

on a segment basis. The table below presents information on the revenues and
operating income (loss) for each segment for each of the three years ended
December 31, 2001, and items which reconcile segment operating income (loss) to
the Company's reported loss before income tax (benefit) provision.

(15) Restructuring and Other Charges:

In February 2001, the Company's management foresaw the need to lower the
operating costs of the business given its near-term revenue projections.
Therefore, the Company established a plan that included the following: (1) a
reduction in its workforce for both domestic and international operations
related to professional consultant employees that had been underutilized for
several months and also to employees that held various management, sales and
administrative positions deemed to be duplicative functions; (2) the closing of
several domestic and international regional offices located in geographic areas
that no longer cost justified remaining open; and (3) the discontinuance of
electronic equipment leases and other expenses related to the reduction in
workforce.

As of December 31, 2001, the Company reduced headcount by 251 employees. The
Company recorded restructuring charges of $9,258,454, of which $1,133,316
remained unpaid as of December 31, 2001. Such charges consisted of $3,364,989 in
severance benefits and other related expenses and $5,893,465 in exit costs
related to the rental payments on the closing of domestic and international
regional offices, the write-off of leasehold improvements, furniture and
fixtures, and equipment which were abandoned in connection with the closing of
such offices, and other related costs. These charges have been reflected as
operating expenses of the Company.

In December 2001, the Company formed a strategic alliance with Riptech for the
outsourcing of our monitoring services provided as part of managed security
services division. In connection with the outsourcing, the Company reduced
headcount by 12 employees and recorded restructuring charges of $4,384,375, of
which $722,224 remained unpaid as of December 31, 2001. Such charges consisted
of $315,421 in severance benefits, $797,512 in nonrecoverable costs to convert
clients to Riptech and other related charges, and $3,271,442 million for the
write-off of equipment and software development costs associated with the
Company's security operations center which will no longer be needed as a result
of the outsourcing.

In June 2001, the Company wrote-off $1,029,732 related to the abandonment of
internal software management tools that no longer suited the business needs of
the Company.

         A summary of the restructuring and other charges for the year ended
December 31, 2001 were as follows:
