 an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133(SFAS No. 161). This Statement amends and expands the disclosure requirements of FASB Statement No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and HedgingActivities. SFAS No. 161 will become effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008 (our fiscal year 2010).

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, Noncontrolling
Interest in Consolidated Financial Statements-an amendment of ARB No. 51(SFAS No. 160). This Statement establishes accounting and reporting standards for noncontrolling interests and transactions between the reporting
party and such noncontrolling interests. This Statement is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2008 (our fiscal year 2010). The Company is currently evaluating the

In June 2006, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes(FIN
48). FIN 48 prescribes detailed guidance for the financial statement recognition, measurement and disclosure of uncertain tax positions recognized in an enterprises financial statements in accordance with FASB Statement No. 109,
Accounting for Income Taxes. Tax positions must meet a more-likely-than-not recognition threshold at the effective date to be recognized upon the adoption of FIN 48 and in subsequent periods. The Company adopted the provisions of FIN 48 on
October 1, 2007. The cumulative effect of applying the provisions of this interpretation has been recorded as a decrease of $7,036 to retained earnings, a decrease of $3,963 to the income tax payable, a decrease of $5,047 to deferred tax assets
and an increase to the FIN 48 liability account of $5,952 as of October 1, 2007. Refer to Note 9 for further discussion.

In June 2006, the FASB
ratified Emerging Issues Task Force Issue 06-2,Accounting for Sabbatical Leave and Other Similar Benefits Pursuant to FASB Statement No. 43, Accounting for Compensated Absences (EITF 06-2). Under EITF 06-2, compensation
costs associated with a sabbatical should be accrued over the requisite service period, assuming certain conditions are met. Previously, the Company expensed sabbatical costs as incurred. The Company adopted EITF 06-2 effective October 1, 2007,
as required and accordingly, recorded a $12,692 cumulative adjustment, net of tax, to decrease retained earnings on October 1, 2007. The annual impact to earnings of this accounting change is not expected to be significant.

Reclassifications

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

The Company expects to finalize the opening balance sheet related to this acquisition by the end of the second quarter of fiscal 2009. The adjustment and reclassification from goodwill during the six months ended March 31, 2008 pertains to
adjustments to the opening balance sheet related to the acquisition of a benefits management services provider which occurred in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2007. The Company expects to finalize the opening balance sheet related to this acquisition
by the end of the current fiscal year.

##### Table of Contents

The increase in the gross carrying amount of core technology pertains to adjustments to the opening balance sheet related
to the acquisition of a benefits management services provider which occurred in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2007. The Company expects to finalize the opening balance sheet related to this acquisition by the end of the current fiscal year. The
decrease in the gross carrying amount of customer relationships primarily relates to the divestiture of the Companys Cyborg business, partially offset by adjustments to the opening balance sheet related to the acquisition of a benefits
management services provider which occurred in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2007. Refer to Note 15 for additional information on divestitures.

Amortization expense related to definite useful life assets for the three and six months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007 is as follows:

4. Investments

At March 31, 2008, the Company had a total of $135,272 in long-term investments, which are comprised of available-for-sale auction rate securities (ARS). While the underlying securities generally have long-term nominal
maturities that exceed one year, the interest rates on these investments reset periodically in scheduled auctions (generally every 7-35 days). The Company has the opportunity to sell its investments during such periodic auctions subject to buyer
availability.

During February 2008, issues in the global credit and capital markets led to failed auctions with respect to the Companys ARS. Since
then, all of the Companys outstanding ARS at March 31, 2008 of $139,400 par value investments were subject to failed auctions. The Company used a discounted cash flow model to determine the estimated fair value of its ARS at
March 31, 2008. As a result, the Company determined that there was a reduction in the fair value of its ARS and recorded an unrealized loss of $4,128 ($2,518 net of tax) within other comprehensive income, a component of stockholders
equity. The Company believes that the current lack of liquidity relating to its ARS investments will not materially affect its ability to fund its ongoing operations and growth initiatives.

As of March 31, 2008, the Companys ARS portfolio included approximately 97% federally insured student loan backed securities. The Companys ARS portfolio
is comprised of 100% Aaa/AAA rated investments by Moodys and S&P, respectively.

Because the impairments in fair values have been relatively
short in duration and minor in amounts, and given the Companys ability and intent to hold these investments until they fully recover in value (including until contractual maturity if necessary), the impairment is considered to be temporary.
However, the Company will reassess this conclusion in future reporting periods based on several factors, including the success or failure of future auctions, possible failure of the investment to be redeemed, deterioration of the credit ratings of
the investments, market risk and other factors. Such a reassessment may result in a conclusion that these investments are other-than-temporarily impaired. If it is determined that the fair value of these securities is other-than-temporarily
impaired, the Company would record a loss in its consolidated statements of operations, which could materially adversely impact its results of operations and financial condition. As of March 31, 2008, the Company reclassified the entire ARS
investment balance from short-term investments to long-term investments on the consolidated balance sheet reflecting the Companys inability to determine when these investments in ARS will become liquid.

At September 30, 2007 the Company had a total of $216,726 of ARS classified as short-term investments.

5. Severance Accrual

During fiscal 2007, the Company implemented several productivity initiatives across the business that resulted in a reduction in workforce. The Companys severance policy provides that the affected employees will receive an amount of
severance pay that is based on the employees length of service, current employment status and level and benefits elections. For certain affected employees outside of the United States, the amount of severance is based upon the requirements of
local regulations. As of March 31, 2008, the Company has estimated its severance obligations to be $6,392 in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 112 (as Amended), Employers Accounting for
Postemployment Benefits  an amendment of FASB Statements No. 5 and 43. The Company recorded charges of $4,775 in the second quarter and made payments of $71 related to those charges during the second quarter. The Company
recorded adjustments of $3,342 during the six months ended March 31, 2008 relating to higher than expected attrition.

The following table summarizes
the activity in the severance accrual for the six months ended March 31, 2008:



|                  |  |                    |        |           |   |          |  |   |             |   |  |                |        |   |  |   |

The additions were recorded in compensation and related expenses within the consolidated statements of operations.
The Company anticipates that the remaining accrual will be paid out by the first quarter of fiscal 2009.

6. Restructuring Activities

In conjunction with an ongoing review of the Companys leased real estate portfolio, during the third quarter of fiscal 2007, the Company announced its intention to
consolidate facilities, and in some cases, exit certain properties. During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2007, the Company recorded expense of $17,777 related to the exit and consolidation of certain facilities in both the U.S. and international
locations. The charges consisted of $21,649 for recognition of the fair value of lease vacancy obligations and lease termination charges. This was offset by the reversal of accrued rents of $3,872. The net costs were recorded in other operating
expense within the consolidated statements of operations and charged to the Benefits Outsourcing, HR BPO, and Consulting segments in the amounts of $13,469, $3,082, and $1,226, respectively.

During the second quarter of fiscal 2008, the Company recorded expense of $5,934 related to the exit and consolidation of a certain facility in the U.S. The charge
consisted of $5,570 for recognition of the fair value of lease vacancy obligation. This was in addition to the reversal of prepaid rents of $364. The net cost was recorded in other operating expense within the consolidated statements of operations
and charged to the Benefits Outsourcing, HR BPO, and Consulting segments in the amounts of $321, $436, and $4,016, respectively; $1,161 was recorded to shared services and was not allocated to the segments.

The following table summarizes the activity in the restructuring reserves for the six months ended March 31, 2008:



|                                |  |                    |        |           |   |               |  |   |             |   |                |   |       |  |   |

and $3,132 as of March 31, 2008 and September 30, 2007, respectively. All severance amounts were paid out as of September 30, 2006. Lease termination costs are expected to be paid by October 2011.

7. Share-Based Compensation

The Company recorded pre-tax share-based
compensation expense of $13,293 and $12,959 during the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively, and $22,629 and $22,697 during the six months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively, related to the expensing of the
Companys nonqualified stock options, restricted stock, and restricted stock units.

Under the Companys Global Stock and Incentive Compensation
Plan (the Plan), which was adopted in fiscal 2002 and is administered by the Compensation and Leadership Committee (the Committee) of the Companys Board of Directors, employees and directors may receive awards of
nonqualified stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units, performance shares, performance share units, and cash-based awards; employees can also receive incentive stock options. The Plan was amended in January
2008 to increase the number of shares of Class A common stock authorized and reserved for issuance thereunder by 7,000,000 shares. As of March 31, 2008, only restricted stock, restricted stock units, performance share units and
nonqualified stock options have been granted. A total of 32,000,000 shares of Class A common stock have been reserved for issuance under the Plan. As of March 31, 2008, there were 7,881,721 shares available for grant under the Plan.

The weighted average estimated fair value of employee stock options granted during the six months ended
March 31, 2008 and 2007 was $12.81 and $9.61 per share, respectively. These stock options were granted at exercise prices equal to the current fair market value of the underlying stock on the grant date.

The fair value used to determine compensation expense for options granted during the six months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007 was estimated at the date of grant
using a Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions:



|                        |  |       |   |  |       |  
|----------------------- |  | ----- | - |  | ----- | -
|                        |  | 2008  |   |  | 2007  |  
|Expected volatility     |  | 26.61 | % |  | 28.21 | %
|Risk-free interest rate |  | 3.85  | % |  | 4.40  | %
|Expected life           |  | 6.04  |   |  | 6.24  |  
|Dividend yield          |  | 0     | % |  | 0     | %

The Company uses the simplified method, defined in SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB)
No. 107, to determine the expected life assumption for all of its options. The Company continues to use the simplified method, as permitted by SAB No. 110, as it does not believe that it has sufficient historical exercise data
to provide a reasonable basis upon which to estimate expected life due to the limited time its equity shares have been publicly traded.

8. Pension and
Postretirement Benefit Plans

Through various acquisitions, the Company has defined benefit pension plans, the largest of which was closed to new
entrants in 1998, providing retirement benefits to eligible employees. The Company also has other smaller defined benefit pension plans to provide benefits to eligible employees. It is the Companys policy to fund in accordance with local
practice and legislation. The Company also provides health benefits for retired U.S. and Canadian employees and certain dependents when the employee becomes eligible for these benefits by satisfying plan provisions, which include certain age and
service requirements. The health benefit plans are contributory and contributions are reviewed annually and adjusted periodically.

9. Income Taxes

The Companys consolidated effective income tax rate is 36.2 % and 41.6% for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively, and 40.8 % and 39.5% for the six months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007,
respectively. The Company reviews its expected annual effective income tax rates and makes changes on a quarterly basis as necessary based on certain factors such as changes in forecasted annual operating income; changes to the valuation allowance
for net deferred tax assets; changes to actual or forecasted permanent book to tax differences; impacts from future tax settlements with state, federal or foreign tax authorities; or impacts from tax law changes. In addition, the Company identifies
items which are not normal and recurring in nature and treats these as discrete events. The tax effect of discrete items is booked entirely in the quarter in which the discrete event occurs. Due to the volatility of these factors, the Companys
consolidated effective income tax rate can change significantly on a quarterly basis. The current period lower effective tax rate compared to the comparable prior-year period is due to the mix of income across various jurisdictions and the effect of
nonrecurring discrete items in the current period which decreased the current period effective rate. The Company included interest and penalties of $409 and $842 for the three and six months ended March 31, 2008, respectively, in the provision
for income tax in the consolidated statement of operations.

As stated in Note 2, the Company adopted the provisions of FIN 48 on October 1, 2007. The
cumulative effect of applying the provisions of this interpretation has been recorded as a decrease of $7,036 to retained earnings, a decrease of $3,963 to the income tax payable, a decrease of $5,047 to the deferred tax assets and an increase to
the FIN 48 liability account of $5,952 as of October 1, 2007.

##### Table of Contents

In conjunction with the adoption of FIN 48, uncertain tax positions have been classified as non-current income tax
liabilities unless expected to be paid within one year. Income tax-related interest expense and income tax-related penalties have continued to be reported as a component of the provision for income tax in the consolidated statements of operations.
As of March 31, 2008, the total amount of accrued income tax-related interest and penalties included in the consolidated balance sheets was $13,468.

As of March 31, 2008, the Company was subject to examination in the U.S. federal tax jurisdiction for the 2004-2006 tax years. The Company was also subject to examination in various state and foreign jurisdictions for the 2004 and 2005
tax years, none of which were individually material. The Company has filed an appeal with the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) for the 2003 income tax examination. The Company believes that appropriate provisions for all outstanding issues
have been made for all jurisdictions and all open years.

As of October 1, 2007, the date of adoption, the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits
was $74,604, of which $71,876 would affect the effective tax rate, if recognized. If tax matters for 2003 are effectively settled with the IRS within the next 12 months, the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits may decrease. Settlement could
increase earnings up to $21,600 based on current estimates. Audit outcomes and the timing of audit settlements are subject to significant uncertainty.

10. Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share (EPS) is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted average number of
shares of common stock outstanding. Diluted EPS includes the components of basic EPS and also gives effect to dilutive common stock equivalents. Treasury stock is not considered outstanding for either basic or diluted EPS as weighted from the date
the shares were placed into treasury. For purposes of calculating basic and diluted earnings per share, vested restricted stock awards are considered outstanding. Under the treasury stock method, diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that
could occur if securities or other instruments that are convertible into common stock were exercised or could result in the issuance of common stock. Potentially dilutive common stock equivalents include unvested restricted stock and restricted
stock units, unexercised stock options and warrants that are in-the-money and outstanding convertible debt securities which would have a dilutive effect if converted from debt to common stock. Restricted stock awards generally vest 25
percent on each anniversary of the grant date and are not considered outstanding in basic earnings per share until the vesting date.

Debt securities convertible into 1,870,748 shares of Class A common stock were outstanding in the three and
six months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, but the weighted-average convertible shares were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share for the three and six months ended March 31, 2007 because the effect of including the
convertible debt securities would have been antidilutive. Warrants to sell 200,000 shares of Class A common stock were outstanding in the three and six months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, but the warrants were not included in the
computation of diluted earnings per share for the three and six months ended March 31, 2007 because the effect of including the warrants would have been antidilutive. Of the outstanding stock options as of March 31, 2008 and 2007, zero and
55,957 weighted average shares for each quarter and 98,487 and 1,743,699 for each six month period, respectively, were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because the effects of including the stock options would have been
antidilutive.

At March 31, 2008 the Company recorded an unrealized loss of $4,128 ($2,518 net of tax) relating to its ARS.
Refer to Note 4 for more information on ARS.

In December 2007, the Company initiated a foreign currency risk management program involving the use of
non-deliverable forward foreign currency derivatives. Refer to Note 14 for more information on cash flow hedges.

12. Legal Proceedings

The Company is involved in disputes arising in the ordinary course of its business relating to outsourcing or consulting agreements, professional liability claims,
vendors or service providers or employment claims. The Company is also routinely audited and subject to inquiries by governmental and regulatory agencies. The Company evaluates estimated losses under SFAS 5, Accounting for Contingencies.
Management considers such factors as the probability of an unfavorable outcome and the ability to make a reasonable estimate of the amount of loss and records a provision with respect to a claim, suit, investigation or proceeding when it is probable
that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can reasonably be estimated. If the reasonable estimate of a probable loss is a range, and no amount within the range is a better estimate, the minimum amount in the range is accrued. If
a loss is not probable or a probable loss cannot be reasonably estimated, no liability is recorded.

The Company is in active discussions with a number of
its HR BPO clients to renegotiate the terms of their contracts. In December 2007, the Company reached settlement with one of these clients and incurred a charge of $15 million, which was previously reserved. The Company paid this settlement during
the first quarter.

In March 2008, the Company restructured an outsourcing contract. In conjunction with the restructuring, the Company will transition
back to the client certain HR BPO services and extend the Benefits Outsourcing services portion of the contract. The Company recorded a net charge of $15.9 million in the current quarter, in addition to a $4 million charge recorded in the previous
quarter, mostly relating to transition costs.

In addition, in the second quarter, the Company recorded additional charges of approximately $6 million
related to ongoing disputes and settlements.

The Company does not believe that any unresolved dispute will have a material adverse effect on its financial
condition or results of operation. However, litigation in general and the outcome of any matter, in particular, cannot be predicted with certainty. An unfavorable resolution of one or more pending matters could have a material adverse impact on the
Companys results of operations for one or more reporting periods.

13. Segment Results

Under SFAS No. 131, Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information,the Company has determined that it has three reportable segments based on similarities among the operating units including homogeneity of
services, service delivery methods, and use of technology. The three reportable segments are Benefits Outsourcing, HR BPO and Consulting.

The Company
operates many of the administrative and support functions of its business through the use of centralized shared service operations to provide an economical and effective means of supporting the operating segments. These shared services include
information technology services, human resources, management, corporate relations, finance, general counsel, real estate management, supplier management and other supporting services. Many of these costs, such as information technology services,
human resources, real estate management, and other support services, are assigned to the business segments based on usage and consumption factors. Certain unallocated costs, within finance, general counsel, management, client and market leadership,
and corporate relations, are not allocated to the business segments and remain in unallocated shared service costs.

The table below summarizes the
Companys reportable segment results. Results for the prior year have been recast to be comparable to the current year presentation, primarily due to changes to the Companys current organizational structure.

14. Cash Flow Hedges

The Companys risk management strategy includes the use of derivative instruments to reduce the effects on its operating results and cash flows from fluctuations caused by volatility in currency exchange. The Company currently uses
cash flow hedges to hedge forecasted transactions with its India operations. The Company enters into non-deliverable forward exchange contracts expiring within 12 months as hedges of anticipated cash flows denominated in Indian rupees. These
contracts are entered into to protect against the risk that the eventual cash flows resulting from such transactions will be adversely affected by changes in exchange rates between the U.S. dollar and the Indian rupee.

All derivatives are recognized in the balance sheet at fair value. Fair values for the Companys derivative financial instruments are based on quoted market prices
of comparable instruments or, if none are available, on pricing models or formulas using current assumptions. On the date the derivative contract is entered into, the Company determines whether the derivative contract should be designated as a
hedge. Changes in the fair value of derivatives that are highly effective are recorded in other comprehensive income until the underlying transactions occur. Any realized gains or losses resulting from the cash flow hedges are recognized together
with the hedged transaction in the consolidated statement of operations. At inception date, the Company formally documents all relationships between hedging instruments and hedged items, as well as its risk management objective and strategy for
undertaking various hedging activities. This process includes matching all derivatives that are designated as cash flow hedges to specific forecasted transactions. The Company also formally assesses, both at the hedges inception and on an
ongoing basis, whether the derivatives that are used in hedging transactions are highly effective in offsetting changes in cash flows of hedged items. At March 31, 2008, all hedges were determined to be highly effective.

At March 31, 2008 the Company had net unrealized losses of $972 on derivatives related to outstanding non-deliverable Indian rupee forward contracts maturing within
12 months, with a notional value of $77,423. The Company recorded deferred tax assets of $379 related to these derivatives. A total of $593 of deferred losses, net of tax, on derivative instruments at March 31, 2008 were accumulated in other
comprehensive income. The entire amount is expected to be reclassified into earnings from other comprehensive income during the next 12 months.

During the
three and six months ended March 31, 2008 the Company recorded net losses of $193 and $195, respectively, related to the settlement of forward contracts which were designated as cash flow hedges. These amounts have been classified together with
the underlying hedged transactions in the consolidated statement of operations as compensation and related expenses.

15.Divestitures

On January 31, 2008, the Company sold the net assets of its Cyborg business (Cyborg). Cyborg was acquired in 2003 and provides licensed,
processed, and hosted payroll software services. Its operations were included in the HR BPO segment. The divestiture is a part of the Companys continued efforts to streamline its HR outsourcing service offerings. The Company recorded a pre-tax
gain of $35,667 during the quarter ended March 31, 2008 as a result of the sale.

|ITEM2. | Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
|------ | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The following information should be read in conjunction with the information contained in our consolidated financial statements and related notes presented earlier in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Please also
refer to our consolidated financial statements and related notes and the information under the heading Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission for additional information. In addition to historical information, this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q may contain forward-looking statements that involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions, which
could cause actual results to differ materially from managements expectations. Some of the risks and uncertainties are described below and in the Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements which appears later in this section and in
our Annual Report on Form 10-K, in Item 1A under the heading Risk Factors.

We use the terms Hewitt, the
Company, we, us, and our to refer to the business of Hewitt Associates, Inc. and its subsidiaries. All references to years, unless otherwise noted, refer to our fiscal years, which end on September 30.
For example, a reference to 2008or fiscal 2008 means the twelve-month period that ends September 30, 2008. References to and adjustments for foreign currency translation are made within our discussion of
results so that the financial results can be viewed without the impact of fluctuating foreign currency exchange rates used in reporting results in one currency (U.S. dollar) and helps facilitate a comparative view of business results. Financial
results described within this section, except for share and per share information, are stated in thousands of U.S. dollars unless otherwise noted. Certain prior-period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current-year presentation.

Overview

Second quarter net revenues, excluding third
party supplier revenues and adjusting for the favorable effect of foreign currency translation of $14.5 million and the net unfavorable effect of acquisitions/divestiture of $1.5 million, increased 7.7% as compared to the prior-year period and was
driven by growth across all segments. Human Resource Business Process Outsourcing (HR BPO) reported revenue strength in the quarter, primarily due to an increase in the number of clients who went live with contract services over the last
twelve months and growth in revenue from existing clients, including an increase in project work. Also contributing to the increase in HR BPO revenue was a benefit of $6.4 million related to the resolution of a previously announced contract
restructuring. Consulting revenue growth over the prior year resulted principally from Retirement and Financial Management services as well as Talent and Organizational Consulting services. Additionally, Benefits Outsourcing also reported higher
revenue in the quarter due to an increase in project work, new client and organic revenue growth, partially offset by client losses, and a benefit of $4.4 million of revenue related to the resolution of a previously announced contract restructuring.

Operating income increased $49.7 million, or 264.8%, from the prior-year quarter. The increase was primarily due to an increase in revenue during the
quarter of $55.7 million or 7.6%. The revenue growth was offset by higher operating expenses of $6.0 million or 0.8%, which includes a gain on the sale of our Cyborg business (Cyborg) of $35.7 million. Excluding this gain, operating
expense increased $41.7 million, or 5.8%. This increase was mostly due to higher compensation and related expenses, as well as higher other operating expenses.

During the current quarter, we restructured one of our outsourcing contracts. In conjunction with the restructuring, we will transition back to the client certain HR BPO services and extend the Benefits Outsourcing services portion of the
contract. We recorded a net charge of $15.9 million in the current quarter, in addition to a $4 million charge recorded in the previous quarter, mostly relating to transition costs. In addition, in the second quarter, we recorded additional charges
of approximately $6 million related to ongoing disputes and settlements.

##### Table of Contents

At March 31, 2008, we had a total of $135 million in long-term investments, which are comprised of
available-for-sale auction rate securities (ARS). While the underlying securities generally have long-term nominal maturities that exceed one year, the interest rates on these investments reset periodically in scheduled auctions
(generally every 7-35 days). We have the opportunity to sell these investments during such periodic auctions subject to buyer availability. During February 2008, issues in the global credit and capital markets led to failed auctions with respect to
all of our ARS. We used a discounted cash flow model to determine the estimated fair value of our ARS at March 31, 2008. As a result, we determined that there was a reduction in the fair value of our ARS and recorded an unrealized loss of $4.1
million ($2.5 million net of tax) within other comprehensive income, a component of stockholders equity. We believe that the current lack of liquidity relating to our ARS investments will not materially affect our ability to fund our ongoing
operations and growth initiatives. As of March 31, 2008, the Company reclassified the entire ARS investment balance from short-term investments to long-term investments on the consolidated balance sheet reflecting the Companys inability
to determine when these investments in ARS will become liquid.

During the quarter, we continued to repurchase our outstanding common shares. During the
three months ended March 31, 2008, we repurchased approximately 6.1 million of our outstanding shares at an average price of $37.60, for a total of approximately $227.9 million. At March 31, 2008, we had approximately $168 million
remaining under our current $750 million share repurchase authorization.

|(1) | Net revenues include $9,157 and $18,603 of third party supplier revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. The third party supplier arrangements
are generally marginally profitable. The related third party supplier expenses are included in other operating expenses.

Net Revenues

Net revenues, excluding third party supplier revenues and adjusting for the favorable effect of foreign currency translation of $14.5 million and the
net unfavorable effect of acquisitions/divestiture of $1.5 million, increased 7.7% as compared to the prior year. The increase in net revenues was driven by revenue growth across all segments, with HR BPO showing the largest increase. HR BPO revenue
growth was primarily due to an increase in the number of clients who went live with contract services over the last twelve months and growth in revenue from existing clients, including an increase in project work. Also contributing to the increase
in HR BPO revenue was a benefit of $6.4 million related to a contract restructuring. Consulting revenue growth is attributable to an increased demand for Retirement and Financial Management and Talent and Organizational Consulting services.

Benefits Outsourcing also contributed to the revenue growth primarily due to an increase in project work, new client and organic revenue growth, partially
offset by client losses, and a benefit of $4.4 million of revenue related to the resolution of a contract restructuring. Segment results are discussed in greater detail later in this section.

Compensation and Related Expenses

Compensation and related expenses
increased 8.2%, or $39.3 million. An increase in salary costs resulted from an increase in Consulting activities, including investments in associates and knowledge development, and higher performance-based compensation. Also contributing to the
increase is higher severance expense, related to the resolution of a previously announced contract restructuring. Offsetting these increases were lower salary costs associated with global sourcing and other cost management.

Asset Impairment

The current year impairment charge of $2.1 million
primarily resulted from the write-off of deferred set-up costs and capitalized software associated with certain client contracts. The prior year impairment charge of $2.7 million primarily resulted from the write-off of deferred set-up costs
associated with certain clients.

Other Operating Expenses

The increase in other operating expense of $5.6 million is primarily due to real estate related costs of $5.9 million to exit and consolidate leased real estate during the second quarter and $2.1 million adjustment to the estimated fair
value of a lease vacancy obligation recorded in the prior year. Also contributing to the increase is higher client service delivery charges, net of deferrals, of $6.7 million primarily related to the increased number of clients who are live with
ongoing services and the impact of a previously announced contact restructuring. Offsetting the increases is a reduction in third party supplier costs of $9.0 million.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses (SG&A)

SG&A decreased $1.5 million, or 2.4%. In the
second quarter of fiscal 2008 charges related to ongoing disputes and settlements with various clients of $14.4 million were recorded. A $12 million charge associated with the restructuring of one of our HR BPO contracts and a $4 million charge
associated with the resolution of a legal dispute with a vendor were both recorded in the same prior-year period. Offsetting the prior year charges was a reduction to the allowance for doubtful accounts of $1.7 million.

Gain on Sale of Business

On January 31, 2008, we sold the
Cyborg business. Cyborg was acquired in 2003 and provides licensed, processed, and hosted payroll software services. Its operations were included in the HR BPO segment. The divestiture is a part of our continued efforts to streamline our HR
outsourcing service offerings. We recorded a pre-tax gain of $35.7 million during the quarter ended March 31, 2008 as a result of the sale.

Other
Income, Net

Other income decreased by $2.2 million in the period due to lower interest income which was partially offset by lower interest expense.
Lower interest income of $2.9 million resulted from lower average investment balances as compared to the prior-year period. Lower interest expense of $1.0 million related to lower average debt balances as compared to the prior-year period.

Provision for Income Taxes

The Companys
consolidated effective income tax rate is 36.2 % for the three months ended March 31, 2008, as compared to 41.6% for the comparable prior-year period. The Company reviews its expected annual effective income tax rates and makes changes on
a quarterly basis as necessary based on certain factors such as changes in forecasted annual operating income; changes to the valuation allowance for net deferred tax assets; changes to actual or forecasted permanent book to tax differences; impacts
from future tax

settlements with state, federal or foreign tax authorities; or impacts from tax law changes. In addition, the Company identifies items which are not normal
and recurring in nature and treats these as discrete events. The tax effect of discrete items is booked entirely in the quarter in which the discrete event occurs. Due to the volatility of these factors, the Companys consolidated effective
income tax rate can change significantly on a quarterly basis. The current periods lower effective tax rate compared to the comparable prior-year period is due to the mix of income across various jurisdictions and the effect of nonrecurring
discrete items in the current period.

|(1) | Net revenues include $22,337 and $39,675 of third party supplier revenues for the six months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. The third party supplier arrangements
are generally marginally profitable. The related third party supplier expenses are included in other operating expenses.

Net Revenues

Net revenues, excluding third party supplier revenues and adjusting for the favorable effects of foreign currency translation and net
acquisitions/divestiture of $31.8 million and $2.2 million, respectively, increased 7.7% as compared to the prior year. The increase in net revenues was driven by revenue growth across all segments, with Consulting showing the largest increase to
date. Consulting revenue growth was attributed to an increased demand for Retirement and Financial Management and Talent and Organizational Consulting services. HR BPO revenue growth was primarily due to an increase in the number of clients who went
live with contract

services over the last twelve months and growth in revenue from existing clients, including an increase in project work and transactional volume. Also
contributing to the increase in HR BPO revenue was the benefit of $14.1 million related to the resolution of two contract restructurings. Benefits Outsourcing also contributed to the revenue growth primarily due to an increase in project work, new
client and organic revenue growth, and the benefit of $9.0 million of revenue related to the resolution of two contract restructurings. Segment results are discussed in greater detail later in this section.

Compensation and Related Expenses

Compensation and related expenses
increased 4.8%, or $46.7 million. An increase in salary costs resulted from an increase in Consulting activities and higher performance-based compensation. Offsetting these increases were lower salary costs associated with global sourcing and other
cost management efforts and a decrease in severance expense, related to prior restructuring actions.

Asset Impairment

The current year impairment charge of $2.3 million primarily resulted from the write-off of deferred set-up costs and capitalized software associated with certain client
contracts. The prior year impairment charge of $3.6 million primarily resulted from the write-off of deferred set-up costs associated with certain clients.

Other Operating Expenses

The decrease in other operating expense of $7.8 million is primarily due to lower infrastructure costs, in
addition to a reduction in third party supplier costs of $16.2 million. Offsetting the decrease is higher real estate related costs which includes $5.9 million to exit and consolidate leased real estate during the second quarter and $2.1 million
adjustment to the estimated fair value of a lease vacancy obligation recorded in the prior year. Also offsetting the decrease is higher client service delivery charges, net of deferrals, of $7.7 million primarily related to the increased number of
clients who are live with ongoing services and the impact of two previously announced contract restructurings.

SG&A

The increase in SG&A of $10.1 million is primarily attributable to charges related to ongoing disputes and settlements with various clients of approximately $21
million. Additionally, $1.9 million of costs related to an annual marketing event for the Companys clients and a reduction in the prior year to the allowance for doubtful accounts of $1.7 million contributed to the increase. A $12 million
charge associated with the restructuring of one of our HR BPO contracts and a $4 million charge associated with the resolution of a legal dispute with a vendor were both recorded in the same prior-year period.

Gain on Sale of Business

On January 31, 2008, we sold the
Cyborg business. Cyborg was acquired in 2003 and provides licensed, processed, and hosted payroll software services. Its operations were included in the HR BPO segment. The divestiture is a part of the Companys continued efforts to streamline
its HR outsourcing service offerings. The Company recorded a pre-tax gain of $35.7 million during the quarter ended March 31, 2008 as a result of the sale.

Other Income, Net

Other income decreased by $0.1 million in the period due to lower other income and interest income which was partially
offset by lower interest expense. Lower other income of $1.5 million resulted from lower gains realized on the sale of investments and lower gains on foreign currency transactions as compared to the prior-year period. Lower interest income of $1.3
million resulted from lower average investment balances as compared to the prior-year period. Lower interest expense of $2.6 million related to lower average debt balances and also higher capitalized interest as compared to the prior-year period.

Provision for Income Taxes

The Companys consolidated effective income tax rate is 40.8% for the six months ended March 31, 2008, as compared to 39.5% for the comparable prior-year period. The Company reviews its expected annual effective income tax rates
and makes changes on a quarterly basis as necessary based on certain factors such as changes in forecasted annual operating income; changes to the valuation allowance for net deferred tax assets; changes to actual or forecasted permanent book to tax
differences; impacts from future tax settlements with state, federal or foreign tax authorities; or impacts from tax law changes. In addition, the Company identifies items which are not normal and recurring in nature and treats these as discrete
events. The tax effect of discrete items is booked entirely in the quarter in which the discrete event occurs. Due to the volatility of these factors, the Companys consolidated effective income tax rate can change significantly on a quarterly
basis. The current periods higher effective tax rate compared to the comparable prior-year period is due to the mix of income across various jurisdictions and the effect of nonrecurring discrete items in the current period.

Segment Results

Operating income before unallocated shared service costs is referred to as segment income throughout the discussion. Results for the prior year have been recast to be comparable to the current year presentation, primarily due to
changes to the Companys current organizational structure.

Benefits Outsourcing

Benefits Outsourcing net revenue, adjusting for the favorable impact of foreign currency translation of $1.6 million and acquisitions of $2.7 million, increased 5.4%. The increase in revenue is primarily a result of an increase in project
work, new client and organic revenue growth, partially offset by client losses, as compared to the prior-year period and a benefit of $4.4 million of revenue related to the resolution of an HR BPO contract restructuring.

Benefits Outsourcing operating income increased 23.6% as compared to the prior year. Growth was mostly due to an increase from the prior year in higher margin project
work, lower infrastructure costs, and lower salary costs related to global sourcing and other cost management efforts. This growth was partially offset by an increase in contractor costs and operating expense related to several large, complex
clients that went live with ongoing services. The current year includes a benefit of $2.1 million related to the previously announced restructuring of an HR BPO contract.

HR BPO

HR BPO net revenue, excluding third party revenue and adjusting for the favorable impact of foreign currency
translation of $3.9 million and the impact of $5.3 million from the sale of Cyborg, increased 19.1%. The increase is primarily related to an increase in the number of clients who went live with contract services over the last twelve months and
growth in revenue from existing clients, including an increase in project work. Also contributing to the increase was a benefit of $6.4 million related to the resolution of a contract restructuring.

HR BPO operating loss decreased 70.0% as compared to the prior-year period. The decrease in the loss was primarily due to lower operating expense which included a gain
on the sale of Cyborg of $35.7 million. An increase in revenue, net of corresponding compensation expenses, and expense efficiency related to offshoring and infrastructure cost management efforts also contributed to the improvement. The current year
includes net charges of $18 million related to the previously announced restructuring of an HR BPO contract as compared to $12 million of charges recorded in the prior year related to the restructuring of a client contract. The current year also
reflects charges related to ongoing disputes and settlements with various clients of $2.8 million.

Consulting

Consulting net revenues, adjusting for the favorable effects of foreign currency translation of $9.0 million and acquisitions of $1.0 million, increased 6.9%. The
majority of this growth resulted from increased demand in North America for Retirement and Financial Management consulting, in particular, driven by funding legislation and ongoing pension accounting changes. Also contributing to the revenue growth
is increased demand for Talent and Organizational Consulting in Asia-Pacific as well as health management services in the U.S.

Segment income decreased
12.6% as compared to the same prior-year. The decrease in segment income was due to higher compensation expense related to accelerated recruiting efforts and knowledge development and charges related to real estate restructurings that more than
offset the increased revenue.

Unallocated Shared Service Costs

Unallocated shared service costs are global expenses that are incurred on behalf of the entire Company and are not specific to a business segment. These costs include finance, legal, management and corporate relations and other related
costs.

Unallocated cost increased 30.2%, primarily a result of a prior-year reduction to the allowance for doubtful accounts, the timing impact of certain
compensation related expenses, and real estate related costs.

Benefits Outsourcing

Benefits Outsourcing net revenue, adjusting for the favorable impact of foreign currency translation of $3.8 million and acquisitions of $5.8 million, increased 4.1%. The increase in revenue is primarily a result of an increase in project
work as compared to the prior-year period and the benefit of $9.0 million of revenue related to the resolution of two contract restructurings.

Benefits
Outsourcing operating income increased 39.0% as compared to the prior year. Growth was mostly due to an increase from the prior year in higher margin project work, a decrease in compensation expense associated with lower severance and lower salary
costs related to global sourcing, and other infrastructure cost management efforts. This growth was partially offset by higher contractor costs and operating expense related to several large, complex clients that went live with ongoing services, as
well as higher performance-based compensation. The current year includes a benefit of $4.3 million related to the previously announced restructurings of two HR BPO contracts.

HR BPO

HR BPO net revenue, excluding third party revenue and adjusting for the favorable impact of foreign currency
translation of $8.0 million and the impact of $5.3 million from the sale of Cyborg, increased 17.8%. The increase is primarily related to an increase in the number of clients who went live with contract services over the last twelve months and
growth in revenue from existing clients, including an increase in project work and transactional volumes. Also contributing to the increase was the benefit of $14.1 million related to the resolution of two contract restructurings.

HR BPO operating loss decreased 55.8% as compared to the prior-year period. The decrease in the loss was primarily due to lower operating expense which included a gain
on the sale of Cyborg of $35.7 million. Lower salary costs associated with global sourcing and other infrastructure cost management efforts also contributed to the improvement. Additionally, an increase in revenue, net of corresponding compensation
expenses also contributed to the decreased operating loss. The current year includes net charges of $14.9 million related to the previously announced restructurings of two HR BPO contracts as compared to $12 million of charges recorded in the prior
year related to the restructuring of a client contract. The current year also reflects charges related to ongoing disputes and settlements with various clients of $5 million.

Consulting

Consulting net revenues, adjusting for the favorable effects of foreign currency translation of $20.1
million and acquisitions of $1.8 million, increased 9.8%. The majority of this growth resulted from increased demand in Europe and North America for Retirement and Financial Management consulting, in particular, driven by funding legislation and
ongoing pension accounting changes. Also contributing to the revenue growth is increased demand for Talent and Organizational Consulting across all major geographies, as well as strong demand for health management services in the U.S.

Segment income increased 2.9% as compared to the same prior-year period. Revenue growth was offset by higher compensation expense driven by increased wages, including
accelerated recruiting efforts and knowledge development, and performance-based incentives. Also offsetting the increase is higher other operating expenses, mostly due to charges related to real estate restructurings.

Unallocated Shared Service Costs

Unallocated shared service costs
are global expenses that are incurred on behalf of the entire Company and are not specific to a business segment. These costs include finance, legal, management and corporate relations and other related costs.

##### Table of Contents

Unallocated cost increased 11.9%, primarily due to a prior-year reduction to the allowance for doubtful accounts, the
timing impact of certain compensation related expenses, and increased real estate related costs, partially offset by lower costs due to severance expense incurred in the prior year related to restructuring actions.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

For a description of our
critical accounting policies and estimates, see our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2007.

In June 2006, the FASB
issued Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes(FIN 48). FIN 48 prescribes detailed guidance for the financial statement recognition, measurement and disclosure of uncertain tax positions recognized
in an enterprises financial statements in accordance with FASB Statement No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. Tax positions must meet a more-likely-than-not recognition threshold at the effective date to be recognized upon the
adoption of FIN 48 and in subsequent periods. The Company adopted the provisions of FIN 48 on October 1, 2007. The cumulative effect of applying the provisions of this interpretation has been recorded as a decrease of $7,036 to retained
earnings, a decrease of $3,963 to the income tax payable, a decrease of $5,047 to deferred tax assets and an increase to the FIN 48 liability account of $5,952 as of October 1, 2007. Refer to Note 9 for further discussion.

In June 2006, the FASB ratified Emerging Issues Task Force Issue 06-2,Accounting for Sabbatical Leave and Other Similar Benefits Pursuant to FASB Statement
No. 43, Accounting for Compensated Absences (EITF 06-2). Under EITF 06-2, compensation costs associated with a sabbatical should be accrued over the requisite service period, assuming certain conditions are met. Previously, the
Company expensed sabbatical costs as incurred. The Company adopted EITF 06-2 effective October 1, 2007, as required and accordingly, we recorded a $12,692 cumulative adjustment, net of tax, to decrease retained earnings on October 1, 2007.
The annual impact to earnings of this accounting change is not expected to be significant.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We have historically funded our growth and working capital requirements with internally generated funds, credit facilities and term notes. We believe we have broad access
to debt and equity capital markets.

Working capital, defined as current assets less current liabilities, was $169 million and $535 million at
March 31, 2008 and September 30, 2007, respectively.

The decrease in cash provided by operating activities was primarily due to a higher level
of performance-based compensation offset by higher net income as compared to the prior-year period.

The increase in cash provided by investing activities
was primarily due to increased proceeds from the sale of investments, utilized to fund the higher performance-based compensation and the Companys share repurchase program, and cash received from the sale of Cyborg. Offsetting the increase is
higher purchases of investments, an acquisition, and higher additions to property and equipment.

##### Table of Contents

The increase in cash used in financing activities was primarily due to an increase in share repurchases relating to the
Companys share repurchase program partially offset by an increase in short-term borrowings and the proceeds from the exercise of stock options. The Company repurchased approximately 10.7 million of its outstanding shares at an average
price of $37.34, for a total of approximately $398.2 million, during the current year. An increase in short-term borrowings was also used to finance the share repurchase program and fund an acquisition.

At March 31, 2008, the Company had a total of $135.3 million in long-term investments, which are comprised of ARS. While the underlying securities generally have
long-term nominal maturities that exceed one year, the interest rates on these investments reset periodically in scheduled auctions (generally every 7-35 days). The Company has the opportunity to sell its investments during such periodic auctions
subject to buyer availability.

During February 2008, issues in the global credit and capital markets led to failed auctions with respect to the
Companys ARS. Since then, all of the Companys outstanding ARS at March 31, 2008 of $139.4 million par value investments were subject to failed auctions. The Company used a discounted cash flow model to determine the estimated fair
value of its ARS at March 31, 2008. As a result, the Company determined that there was a reduction in the fair value of its ARS and recorded an unrealized loss of $4.1 million ($2.5 million net of tax) within other comprehensive income, a
component of stockholders equity. The Company believes that the current lack of liquidity relating to its ARS investments will not have a material impact on its ability to fund its ongoing operations and growth initiatives.

As of March 31, 2008, the Companys ARS portfolio included approximately 97% federally insured student loan backed securities. The Companys ARS portfolio
is comprised of 100% Aaa/AAA rated investments by Moodys and S&P, respectively.

Because the impairments in fair values have been relatively
short in duration and minor in amounts, and given the Companys ability and intent to hold these investments until they fully recover in value (including until contractual maturity if necessary), the impairment is considered to be temporary.
However, the Company will reassess this conclusion in future reporting periods based on several factors, including the success or failure of future auctions, possible failure of the investment to be redeemed, deterioration of the credit ratings of
the investments, market risk and other factors. Such a reassessment may result in a conclusion that these investments are other-than-temporarily impaired. If it is determined that the fair value of these securities is other-than-temporarily
impaired, the Company would record a loss in its consolidated statements of operations, which could materially adversely impact its results of operations and financial condition. As of March 31, 2008, the Company reclassified the entire ARS
investment balance from short-term investments to long-term investments on the consolidated balance sheet reflecting the Companys inability to determine when its investments in ARS will become liquid.

At March 31, 2008, the Company had available credit facilities with domestic and foreign banks for various purposes. The amount of unused credit facilities as of
March 31, 2008 was approximately $128 million. During the second quarter of fiscal 2008 we borrowed $90 million against one of these facilities and used the proceeds to increase our cash position to add financial flexibility. The interest rate
on this borrowing is LIBOR plus 40 basis points.

We believe the cash on hand, together with funds from operations, other current assets, existing credit
facilities and access to debt and equity capital markets will satisfy our expected working capital, contractual obligations, capital expenditures, and investment requirements for at least the next 12 months and the foreseeable future.

Commitments

Significant ongoing commitments consist primarily of
leases, debt, purchase commitments and certain other long-term liabilities. For a summary and description of our ongoing commitments and contractual obligations, see our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2007
and the Commitments section of the Liquidity and Capital Resources section of Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations. There were no material changes in these commitments during the six
months ended March 31, 2008.

Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

This report contains forward-looking statements relating to our operations that are based on our current expectations, estimates and projections. Words such as anticipates, believes,
continues, estimates, expects, goal, intends, may, opportunity, plans, potential, projects, forecasts,
should, will, and similar expressions are intended to identify such forward-looking statements. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve risks, uncertainties, and assumptions that are difficult to
predict. Forward-looking statements are based upon assumptions as to future events that may not prove to be accurate. Actual outcomes and results may differ materially from what is expressed or forecasted in these forward-looking statements. Actual
results may differ from the forward-looking statements for many reasons. Important factors known to us that could cause such material differences are identified and discussed from time to time in our filings with the Securities and Exchange
Commission, including those factors discussed in Part I, Item 1A, Risk Factors of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2007. We undertake no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking
statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or for any other reason. Such important factors include:

Exchange Commission (SEC).



|Item 3. | Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
|------- | ----------------------------------------------------------

The
Company is exposed to market risk from changes in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates. The Company has a substantial operation in India for the development and deployment of technology solutions as well as for client support
activities. In December 2007, the Company initiated a foreign currency risk management program involving the use of foreign currency derivatives related to exposures in fluctuations in the Indian rupee and expects to hedge approximately 65% of
future exposures. As of March 31, 2008, the Company was a party to foreign currency derivative instruments related to exposures in fluctuations in the Indian rupee for approximately 64% of forecasted transactions of approximately $133 million
for the next twelve months. A 10% change in the exchange rate on the related exposure will result in an increase or decrease of related expenses of approximately $13 million. Consistent with the use of the derivatives to offset the effect of
exchange rate fluctuations, such increases or decreases in expenses would be offset by corresponding gains or losses, respectively, of approximately $9 million on settlement of the derivative instruments. For further information regarding our market
risk, refer to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2007.



|Item 4. | Controls and Procedures
|------- | -----------------------

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and
Procedures.

Under the supervision and with the participation of our senior management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial
officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange
Act), as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report (the Evaluation Date). Based on this evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded as of the Evaluation Date that our disclosure
controls and procedures were effective such that the information relating to the Company, including consolidated subsidiaries, required to be disclosed in our SEC reports (i) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time
periods specified in SEC rules and forms, and (ii) is accumulated and communicated to the Companys management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required
disclosure.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting.

There has been no significant change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the three months ended March 31, 2008 that has materially
affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION



|ITEM1. | Legal Proceedings
|------ | -----------------

The Company is involved in disputes arising in
the ordinary course of its business relating to outsourcing or consulting agreements, professional liability claims, vendors or service providers or employment claims. We are also routinely audited and subject to inquiries by governmental and
regulatory agencies. The Company evaluates estimated losses under SFAS 5, Accounting for Contingencies. Management considers such factors as the probability of an unfavorable outcome and the ability to make a reasonable estimate of the amount
of loss and records a provision with respect to a claim, suit, investigation or proceeding when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can reasonably be estimated. If the reasonable estimate of a probable loss
is a range, and no amount within the range is a better estimate, the minimum amount in the range is accrued. If a loss is not probable or a probable loss cannot be reasonably estimated, no liability is recorded.

The Company is in active discussions with a number of its HR BPO clients to renegotiate the terms of their contracts. In December 2007, the Company reached settlement
with one of these clients and incurred a charge of $15 million, which was previously reserved. The Company paid this settlement during the first quarter.

In March 2008, the Company restructured an outsourcing contract. In conjunction with the restructuring, the Company will transition back to the client certain HR BPO services and extend the Benefits Outsourcing services portion of the
contract. The Company recorded a net charge of $15.9 million in the current quarter, in addition to a $4 million charge recorded in the previous quarter, mostly relating to transition costs.

In addition, in the second quarter, the Company recorded additional charges of approximately $6 million related to ongoing disputes and settlements.

The Company does not believe that any unresolved dispute will have a material adverse effect on its financial condition or results of operation. However, litigation in
general and the outcome of any matter, in particular, cannot be predicted with certainty. An unfavorable resolution of one or more pending matters could have a material adverse impact on the Companys results of operations for one or more
reporting periods.
