PART I



ITEM 1.    BUSINESS



GENERAL



AHL Services,
Inc. (AHL), headquartered in Arlington, Virginia, is a leading provider of outsourced business services, including marketing support services in the United States and specialized staffing services in Germany. Our marketing support
services strategic offerings include consumer promotion and fulfillment services, trade promotion and fulfillment services and retail merchandising. Our specialized staffing services provide electricians, welders, plumbers, customer service
representatives and industrial workers for clients throughout Germany. Clients span a range of Global 500 companies, including major enterprises in the automotive, consumer products, entertainment and retail sectors.



Historically, AHL has also owned specialized staffing
businesses in the United States and the United Kingdom and aviation and facility services businesses in the United States and Europe. The UK specialized staffing business was sold on March 19, 2002, and the US specialized staffing business was sold
on October 13, 2000. The US and European aviation and facility services businesses were sold on December 29, 2000. In addition, on December 28, 2000, AHL abandoned operations of a division of marketing support services that was engaged in the store
set-up business. The closing of this division, formerly called PIMMS, was completed on March 16, 2001.



AHL was incorporated in Georgia in 1997. Our corporate headquarters are located at 1000 Wilson Boulevard, Suite 910, Arlington, Virginia
22209. Our telephone number is (703) 528-9688.



RECENT
DEVELOPMENTS



On March 31, 2003, AHL
announced that an affiliate (the Purchaser) of CGW Southeast Partners IV, L.P. (CGW), a private equity firm specializing in middle-market investments, and certain AHL officers, directors and shareholders (the Continuing
Shareholders) have agreed to acquire the outstanding shares of AHL not already held by CGW and the Continuing Shareholders through a proposed merger of AHL and the Purchaser (the proposed merger). The proposed merger, if completed,
would constitute a going private transaction and would result in AHL no longer being publicly traded and no longer filing annual, quarterly and current reports with the SEC. In the proposed merger, holders of AHLs common stock at the time of
the proposed merger, other than Frank A. Argenbright, Jr., our Chairman, Kathleen B. Argenbright, Argenbright Partners, L.P., Francis A. Argenbright, Jr. Charitable Remainder Trust, A. Clayton Perfall, our chief executive officer, and Caledonia
Investments plc, each of whom is a Continuing Shareholder, will receive $1.50 in cash for each share of AHL common stock held by such shareholder immediately prior to the proposed merger. Each share of AHL common stock held by the Continuing
Shareholders will be converted into 1.5 shares of AHLs newly-created Series B participating preferred stock. Following the transaction, the Continuing Shareholders will maintain an approximate 40% equity interest in AHL, and CGW will own the
remaining equity interest of approximately 60%.



The proposed merger is expected to be completed in the third quarter of fiscal year 2003. The transaction is subject to the approval of the holders of a majority of AHLs outstanding common stock, as well as the approval of a
majority of the shares of AHL common stock not held by the Continuing Shareholders. It is also subject to CGW obtaining necessary financing and other customary closing conditions.



In addition, in connection with the proposed merger, AHL obtained the consent of its senior secured lenders
to further extend the maturity date under its credit agreement, which was scheduled to expire on March 31, 2003. As extended, the credit agreement will expire on August 29, 2003, unless the proposed merger is cancelled, in which event it will expire
on the date the proposed merger is cancelled.

INDUSTRY OVERVIEW



The market for outsourced business services
has evolved as companies increasingly outsource non-core functions. The outsourcing company provides on-site management of staff, assumes responsibility for a particular function and shares in the economic benefits derived from improved execution of
the function. As businesses centralize purchasing decisions and seek to reduce the number of vendors with whom they do business, the ability of providers to offer national and international coverage is growing in importance. These trends, as well as
the increasing need for capital and management depth for growth, are creating consolidation opportunities in the highly fragmented outsourcing services industry.



Marketing support services include a broad spectrum of activities that are required to implement a
companys strategies and plans. Important segments of the marketing support services industry include customer contact management, fulfillment, merchandising, direct mail, lead generation, Web design, database management and mining, continuity,
loyalty, promotions and market research. The marketing support services industry is large, with significant growth expected as companies place greater emphasis on retaining existing customers by appealing to them on a more personalized basis.



We believe that a fundamental change is
occurring across marketing industriesthe move to customer centricity. Marketing has always been focused on the customer, but in the recent past has been hampered by the lack of customer specific information and slower than desired product
development, delivery and execution. Explosive growth of the Internet and the introduction of sophisticated business intelligence applications have changed marketing at the most fundamental level. Technology has focused marketing programs on the
individual rather than the generic masses.



The
move to one-on-one interactive marketing and real time delivery has forced many companies to look outside their own marketing divisions to augment, enhance and extend their marketing execution capabilities. There is increasing demand for customer
contact management, on both the customer service side as well as through customer analytics and profiling. Fulfillment and merchandising are also in demand as companies accelerate product development and sales and marketing campaign cycles. Many
companies are seeking seamless customer service, fulfillment and merchandising services to ensure every customer has access to products whether the store is down the street or online.



Temporary staffing is used primarily to manage short-term
fluctuations in employment needs. Those needs may arise due to the seasonal nature of certain businesses or the geographic allocation of employment resources. Temporary staffing is also utilized in highly regulated employment countries to satisfy
longer term needs to provide flexibility in the event of a change in demand for services or products. The dynamics of the temporary staffing industry make it highly sensitive to fluctuation in the broader economy. As a result, the industry is early
cyclical, meaning that upon early signs of improving demand, companies tend to hire temporary rather than permanent workers.



With approximately 40 million employees, the German labor market has the potential to be one of the largest staffing markets globally.
However, Germany continues to have restrictive regulations for temporary staffing, resulting in a relatively low penetration rate as compared to other European countries. Recent German legislation includes provisions that would remove many of the
regulatory barriers to using temporary staffing to satisfy businesses employment flexibility requirements.



STRATEGY



In 2002, AHL focused on expanding its marketing support services to existing clients and creating operating efficiencies within its marketing support services businesses. Our marketing support services businesses serve a



3

##### Table of Contents

diverse group of long-term clients. We expect to leverage our strong client base to continue to grow our business in 2003. Our specific
strategies include:



Partnering with clients
at a higher level within the organization to meet their marketing needs.    For more than two years, we have targeted business development efforts to senior marketing executives in five primary industries: consumer products,
automotive, entertainment, retail and financial services. Demonstrating our industry expertise and our service offerings to senior levels within our clients organizations has proven beneficial to both AHL and our clients. We believe this
strategic focus is the primary reason AHL has seen growth in these industries.



Exploiting merchandising market opportunities.    The retail merchandising market is fragmented with predominantly unsophisticated competitors. Most outsource merchandising
companies are small family operations that do not have the skills or resources to satisfy complex demands of Fortune 500 companies and large retailers. Furthermore, manufacturers internal organizations are expensive, burdened with heavy
overhead costs and subject to chronic downsizing as retailers continue to transfer costs and squeeze manufacturers margins. Companies with internal merchandising groups are aligning with outsource partners to handle surge periods. As one of
the largest merchandising suppliers with a guarantee of superior quality and execution, we believe we are well positioned to benefit from these market opportunities.



Transforming merchandising revenue base and building continuity business.    Our
primary initiatives in transforming our revenue base include (1) eliminating business with unprofitable projects and chronic slow payers and (2) building our revenue base around a premier client list. For 2003, we are focused on building a
foundation for large continuity business. We expect to accomplish this objective by targeting in-house merchandising organizations and focusing on large premier clients. In addition, we will focus on converting one-time projects to a
continuity-based business.



Continuing to
upgrade and improve facilities.    We have invested significantly in new facilities over the past few years. Within our trade promotion and fulfillment business, we have consolidated seven warehouses into one large 400,000
square feet facility, which significantly reduced our operating costs in 2002, while increasing available capacity. In 2003, we have already expanded our operations by opening warehouse facilities in Pennsylvania and Ontario, Canada. In 2003 and
2004, we intend to upgrade facilities for our Minnesota-based consumer fulfullment operations. We also intend to continue expansion of our customer service facilities in Canada.



Improving merchandising service quality.    We have begun several initiatives to
improve the quality of our merchandising service. Among these key initiatives are: (1) changes in merchandiser reporting and monitoring to allow us to guarantee 95% completion on time and 100% completion within 24 hours of commitment,
(2) movement to Internet reporting in order to allow clients on-line access to store execution updates, and (3) movement to merchandisers with Internet access which will allow faster and less costly communications with merchandisers.



Developing and enhancing information
technology systems.    In 2003, we will evaluate additional value-added warehouse management modules to incorporate into our enterprise Oracle-based platform, Global Enterprise Management (GEM). We believe it will
be cost effective to select off-the-shelf components for resource scheduling and labor planning. Also, in 2003 we intend to upgrade our retail merchandising platform to create the additional capacity required by our new e-merchandising offering. We
are also launching new web based reporting and modeling systems that we believe are the leading edge in the marketing support services industry.



Continuing to reduce operating costs.    We have begun several initiatives that will reduce our operating
costs. These initiatives include (1) increased application of technology throughout operations; (2) standardization of technology platforms as discussed previously; (3) focus on economies of scale and productivity gains;

drug and retail grocery stores. We provide two principal types of merchandising and sales services: continuity services and project services.

##### Table of Contents



Continuity
services.    Continuity services consist of regularly scheduled routed merchandising services provided at the store level for manufacturers. We can provide shared services for multiple manufacturers, including, in some cases,
manufacturers whose products are in the same product category.



Project services.    Project services consist primarily of specific in-store services initiated by retailers and manufacturers, such as new product launches, special seasonal or promotional merchandising,
focused product support and product recalls. These services are used typically for large-scale implementations. We also perform other project services, such as new store sets and existing store resets, re-merchandising, remodels and category
implementations, under shared service contracts or stand-alone project contracts.



Our retail merchandising services provide a vital link between the manufacturers and the consumers to enable manufacturers to track promotional and product responses without being lost in a large
superstore.



German Specialized Staffing Services



AHL provides specialized staffing services
throughout Germany. We have skilled and semi-skilled workers assisting large, Global 500 clients primarily in the automotive, engineering, aeronautical, food, call center and consumer packaged goods industries. Our employees perform skilled,
semi-skilled and customer service tasks. Examples of these workers include electricians, welders, plumbers and mechanics. Although Germany continues to have restrictive regulations for temporary staffing, the restrictive labor market builds
consistent demand for strategic temporary services, in which certain companies permanently lease a certain percentage of their staff to keep the highest possible flexibility. This situation is particularly true in the light industrial and automotive
segments that AHL operates.



Historically, we
also operated specialized staffing businesses in the United Kingdom. On March 19, 2002, we sold our UK specialized staffing services business for $29.5 million in cash. After the sale, 100% of our staffing business is in Germany. We entered the
German staffing market in 1998 and through a series of acquisitions have built Germanys sixth largest specialized staffing company.



MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS



Our internal management systems contribute significantly to our daily operations, financial performance and customer service. We have
invested, and will continue to invest, resources in the development of systems to grow and support the business needs of our clients and to provide the internal infrastructure required to deliver real time processing.



Our state-of-the-art marketing and sales support applications
and related infrastructure provide the business with order entry and inventory control automation, organized distribution facilities, efficient out-bound logistics and valuable management database and reporting systems. Across all of our business
lines, we have utilized technology to simplify, automate and integrate the administrative and management processes that serve our business units.



We utilize an open-systems strategy providing for substantial portability, scalability and flexibility. Technology supports our capacity
since growth can be readily and economically accommodated in the core businesses by adding hardware and/or software that is consistent with the information technology strategy.



Our Global Enterprise Management (GEM) system is a proprietary, web-enabled, real-time, order
entry, inventory management, fulfillment and shipping system that is one of the most advanced in the industry. Our database systems are custom built on Oracle relational databases. The system allows rapid, accurate order execution and high levels of

PART II



ITEM 5.    MARKET FOR REGISTRANTS COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER

MATTERS



We completed our
initial public offering on March 27, 1997, and our common stock was traded on the Nasdaq National Market under the symbol AHLS. We were notified on October 12, 2002 by the Nasdaq National Market that our closing bid price had failed to
meet the minimum bid requirement of $1.00 for the previous 30 consecutive trading days. We were provided a 90 day grace period until January 13, 2003, to regain compliance. Because we were not able to maintain a bid price over $1.00 for 10
consecutive trading days prior to this date, effective February 3, 2003, our common stock began trading on the Nasdaq SmallCap Market under the symbol AHLS. The transfer to the Nasdaq SmallCap Market extended AHLs grace period to
achieve a $1.00 minimum bid price per share for the common stock to April 14, 2003. On April 14, 2003, we were notified by Nasdaq that we had regained compliance with the Nasdaq SmallCap Markets minimum bid price per share requirement and that
Nasdaq has closed its review of the matter.



The
following table sets forth the high and low sales prices per share for the common stock, for the periods indicated, as reported by the Nasdaq National Market.

On April
1, 2003, the last sale price of our common stock as reported on the Nasdaq SmallCap Market was $1.34 per share, and there were 81 registered holders of record of our common stock.



DIVIDEND POLICY



We have never paid any dividends on our common stock and currently intend to retain all earnings to finance continued growth of our
business for the foreseeable future. The payment of any dividends will be at the discretion of our board of directors and will depend upon, among other things, results of operations, financial condition, Credit Facility terms, cash requirements and
other factors deemed relevant by the board of directors. Under the terms of our current Credit Facility, we are prohibited from paying dividends.

ITEM 6.    SELECTED FINANCIAL DATA



The following selected financial data are qualified by reference to and should be read in conjunction with Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations and our consolidated financial statements and related notes appearing elsewhere in this report. The selected financial data presented below as of and for each of the fiscal years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2002,
have been derived from our financial statements, which have been audited by independent public accountants. AHLs consolidated financial statements for fiscal years 2001, 2000, 1999 and 1998 have been restated to reflect the reclassification of
our German specialized staffing business from discontinued operations to continuing operations. See Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. The reclassification adjustments for the two fiscal years ending December 31, 1999 have not
been audited by independent public accountants. Except as otherwise stated, all amounts represent continuing operations of AHL.

ITEM 7.    MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS



The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with Selected Financial Data and our consolidated financial statements and related notes appearing
elsewhere in this report. This discussion and analysis contains forward-looking statements that involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions. Actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result
of certain factors, including but not limited to the risks discussed in this report.



OVERVIEW



AHL,
headquartered in Arlington, Virginia, is a leading provider of outsourced business services, including marketing support services in the United States and specialized staffing services in Germany. Our marketing support services strategic offerings
include consumer promotion and fulfillment services, trade promotion and fulfillment services and retail merchandising. Our specialized staffing services provide electricians, welders, plumbers, customer service representatives and industrial
workers for clients throughout Germany. Clients span a range of Global 500 companies, including major enterprises in the automotive, consumer products, entertainment and retail sectors.



Our 1998 acquisition of Gage Marketing Services, now known as Archway Marketing Services, which
has been in the marketing support services business for over 50 years, provided us with experienced personnel that have an understanding of the industry. Our integrated marketing execution solutions enhance the effectiveness and efficiency of many
of the worlds most respected marketing companies. We deliver programs developed by manufacturers, retailers, service providers and advertising agencies, and are active in both business-to-consumer and business-to-business arenas. Our
successful delivery of our marketing service

##### Table of Contents

offerings has enabled us to establish long-term client relationships with many of the largest companies in the world, with partnerships
extending over several decades.



Historically,
our specialized staffing operations also included operations in the United Kingdom and the United States. On March 19, 2002, we sold our UK specialized staffing services business for $29.5 million in cash. On October 13, 2000, we sold the assets of
our US specialized staffing business to an investor group led by the former President of our Baltimore staffing operation for $22.5 million. In previous years, we also operated aviation and facility services businesses. On December 29, 2000, we sold
our US and European aviation and facility services businesses for $185 million in cash to Securicor. In addition, on December 28, 2000, we abandoned operations of a division of marketing support services that was engaged in the store set-up
business. The closing of this division, formerly called PIMMS, was completed on March 16, 2001.



We have restated and reclassified our financial statements for each of the two years ended December 31, 2001. Except as otherwise stated herein, all information reflects such restatements and
reclassifications.



The operating results,
including impairment charges and related balance sheet accounts, of AHLs German specialized staffing services business have been reclassified from discontinued operations to continuing operations in the consolidated financial statements for
all periods presented. Beginning in the third quarter of 2001 and continuing into the fourth quarter of 2002, these operations were being actively marketed for sale and were therefore presented in accordance with Accounting Principles Board
(APB) Opinion No. 30, Reporting the Results of Operations-Reporting the Effects of Disposal of a Segment of a Business, and Extraordinary, Unusual and Infrequently Occurring Events and Transactions as discontinued operations.
This reclassification to continuing operations was required as a result of AHLs proposed merger and our decision to cease marketing these operations.



In addition, we have determined that certain items of expense were incorrectly reported in our previously issued 2000 and 2001 financial
statements. These items principally relate to the accounting for rent escalation clauses in leases, the computation of expense related to workers compensation exposures, the treatment of foreign exchange rate changes on intercompany borrowings
and the recognition of liabilities and related expense related to restructuring and other charges. The most significant item relates to the determination of valuation allowances related to AHLs net deferred tax asset. In 2001, at a time when
we had incurred significant cumulative losses as defined by SFAS No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes, we recognized a net deferred tax asset. This amount should have been reserved for through the recognition of an additional
valuation allowance. While we do not believe that these adjustments were material to the 2000 or 2001 financial statements, they are required under generally accepted accounting principles and, if left uncorrected, their impact on 2002 or thereafter
could be material. Accordingly, these items have been corrected in the accompanying restated 2000 and 2001 financial statements.



RECENT DEVELOPMENTS



On March 31, 2003, AHL announced that the Purchaser and the Continuing Shareholders have agreed to acquire the outstanding shares of AHL
not already held by CGW and the Continuing Shareholders through a proposed merger of AHL and the Purchaser. The proposed merger, if completed, would constitute a going private transaction and would result in AHL no longer being publicly traded and
no longer filing annual, quarterly and current reports with the SEC. In the proposed merger, holders of AHLs common stock at the time of the proposed merger, other than the Continuing Shareholders, will receive $1.50 in cash for each share of
AHL common stock held by such shareholder immediately prior to the proposed merger. Each share of AHL common stock held by the Continuing Shareholders will be converted into 1.5 shares of AHLs newly-created Series B participating preferred
stock. Following the transaction, the Continuing Shareholders will maintain an approximate 40% equity interest in AHL, and CGW will own the remaining equity interest of approximately 60%.

##### Table of Contents



The proposed
merger is expected to be completed in the third quarter of fiscal year 2003. The transaction is subject to the approval of the holders of a majority of AHLs outstanding common stock, as well as the approval of a majority of the shares of AHL
common stock not held by the Continuing Shareholders. It is also subject to CGW obtaining necessary financing and other customary closing conditions.



In addition, in connection with the proposed merger, AHL obtained the consent of its senior secured lenders to further extend the maturity
date under its credit agreement, which was scheduled to expire on March 31, 2003. As extended, the credit agreement will expire on August 29, 2003, unless the proposed merger is cancelled, in which event it will expire on the date the proposed
merger is cancelled.



CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES



Our consolidated financial statements were
prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. As such, management is required to make certain estimates, judgments and assumptions that they believe are reasonable based upon the information available.
These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the periods presented. The significant accounting policies which
management believes are the most critical to aid in fully understanding and evaluating our reported financial results include the following:



Revenue recognition



We derive our marketing support services revenue primarily from three sources: (1) consumer promotion and fulfillment services, (2) trade
promotion and fulfillment services and (3) retail merchandising services. Within our consumer promotion and fulfillment services operations, our call centers recognize revenue based on the number of calls and agents assigned, according to written
pricing agreements. Our consumer and trade promotion and fulfillment services operations record revenue at the conclusion of the material selection, packaging and shipping process. Our retail merchandising services operations recognize revenue as
services are rendered, based on contracted hourly billing rates. In general, we recognize revenues as programs are completed, services are rendered and/or as products are shipped in accordance with the terms of the contracts. Some of the contracts
include postage and other items purchased by us as an agent on behalf of our client, who generally dictates all facets of the transaction, including the common carriers and level of postage class to be used. For these items, we record the net
billings to our customers as revenue. Unbilled revenue is recorded in certain situations when the materials have been shipped, but invoicing did not occur until the subsequent accounting period. Work in process consists of labor and material costs
for fulfillment programs and merchandising support services provided to customers that have not been completed. Work in process is not included in revenue at the end of an accounting period. Our German specialized staffing services operations record
revenue as services are rendered, based on contracted hourly billing rates.



During the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001 we had one customer in our German specialized staffing services operations that accounted for greater than 10% of revenues from continuing operations.
During the year ended December 31, 2000, there were no customers that individually exceeded 10% of revenues from continuing operations.



Allowance for doubtful accounts



We perform ongoing credit evaluations of our customers and adjust credit limits based upon payment history and the customers current
credit worthiness, as determined by managements review of their current credit information. We continuously monitor collections and payments from our customers and maintain a provision for estimated credit losses based upon historical
experience and any specific customer collection issues that have been identified. While credit losses have historically been within managements expectations and the provisions established, we cannot guarantee that we will continue to
experience the same credit loss rates that we have in the past.

Self-insurance and other reserves



We participate in partially self-insured, high-deductible workers compensation and auto insurance plans for our US operations, while our German operations participate in a mandatory government insurance plan. For our US plans,
exposure is limited per occurrence ($250,000 for workers compensation and auto liability claims) and in the aggregate. In addition, we are partially self-insured for health claims for certain US employees. Reserves are estimated for both
reported and unreported claims. The determination of our obligation and expenses for workers compensation, auto and health insurance is dependent on certain assumptions used in calculating such amounts. Those assumptions include, among others,
projected claims and the rate of increase in compensation and health care costs. We recognize these obligations on an undiscounted basis. Revisions to estimated reserves are recorded in the periods in which they become known. While there can be no
assurance that actual future claims will not exceed the amount of our reserves, in the opinion of our management, any future adjustments to estimated reserves included in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets will not have a material impact
on the consolidated financial statements.



As
part of the strategic review of operations performed during 2001, we recorded additional reserves for various items, including costs of buying out unattractive or redundant leases, severance costs incurred in conjunction with the closing of the
Atlanta corporate offices, legal and other expenses related to the abandoned PIMMS operation and other related items. Significant management judgment was required in determining the amount of these reserves, and while there can be no assurance that
future costs will not exceed the amount of our reserves, in the opinion of our management, any future adjustments to estimated reserves included in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets will not have a material impact on the consolidated
financial statements.



Impairment of
long-lived assets



Our long-lived assets
include goodwill and intangibles. At December 31, 2002, we had $62.0 million in goodwill and $4.0 million in net intangible assets, accounting for approximately 44.8% of our total assets.



In July 2001, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 142, Goodwill and
Other Intangible Assets, was issued. Under SFAS No. 142, goodwill and indefinite lived intangible assets are no longer amortized but are reviewed annually for impairment. Separable intangible assets that are not deemed to have an indefinite
life will continue to be amortized over their useful lives. The standard also requires a reassessment of the useful lives of identifiable intangible assets other than goodwill and a test for impairment of goodwill and intangibles with indefinite
lives annually, and more frequently if events and circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts may not be recoverable.



AHL adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 142 effective January 1, 2002. Utilizing the services of an independent third party valuation
expert, AHL performed a valuation of its goodwill utilizing a combination of discounted cash flows, the quoted market price of our common stock and a comparison to the value of comparable companies in our industry. Based on this analysis, we
recorded an impairment charge in the amount of $20.7 million which is reflected as a cumulative change in accounting principle in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. AHLs marketing support services business completed its
annual impairment analysis in the fourth quarter of 2002 and recorded an impairment charge in the amount of $45.1 million. AHLs German specialized staffing services business recorded an impairment charge of $4.2 million in the second
quarter of 2002.



Prior to AHLs adoption of
SFAS No. 142, it accounted for goodwill and intangible assets under the provisions of SFAS No. 121, Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed of. Under SFAS No. 121, we reviewed our
long-lived assets, including goodwill and identifiable intangibles, for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicated that the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable. Our evaluation entailed a comparison between our
undiscounted cash flows

expected to be generated over the remaining life of our long-lived assets to the carrying value of these assets. If the amount of our
expected undiscounted cash flows exceeded the carrying amount of these long-lived assets, no impairment was deemed to exist. We utilized the most recent operating budgets and forecasts used by management when performing this evaluation. During 2001,
we committed to a plan to sell our German specialized staffing business. Accordingly, we applied the provisions of APB No. 30, which required that the German subsidiaries net assets be recorded at their estimated net realizable value, which is
equal to the amount of our estimate of net proceeds on the sale of the business. In applying these provisions, we recorded impairment charges totaling $45.9 million on our German specialized staffing services business in the third and fourth
quarters of 2001 and $4.2 million during the second quarter of 2002. In conjunction with our reclassification of the German net assets and operations to continuing operations, these impairment charges have been reflected as a reduction of goodwill
and included in income from continuing operations during their respective periods.



Valuation of deferred tax assets



We recognize deferred tax assets and liabilities based on the differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and the tax basis of assets and liabilities. We regularly review our deferred
tax assets for recoverability and establish a valuation allowance based on historical taxable income, projected future taxable income, and the expected timing of the reversals of existing temporary differences. Due to our historical operating
losses, we have established a valuation allowance against all of our deferred tax assets.



Discontinued operations



In conjunction with our proposed merger, we have ceased separately marketing for sale our German specialized staffing services business. Accordingly, we have determined that our German specialized
staffing services business will be treated as a continuing operation for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2002. In order to present consistent treatment for our results of operations for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2001 and 2000, we have
reclassified our German specialized staffing operations from discontinued operations to continuing operations in our financial statements for such years.



Our financial statements were prepared using discontinued operations accounting for the divested US and European aviation and facility
services and US and UK specialized staffing services businesses. Under discontinued operations accounting, we accrued estimates of our expected liabilities related to discontinued operations through their eventual discharge, which, in many cases,
was expected to be several years in the future. At December 31, 2002, $18.0 million was recorded as the total liability remaining for the final settlement on the sale of the aviation and facility services businesses, in accordance with the
settlement agreement effective April 12, 2002.



RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS



We derive our marketing
support services revenue primarily from three sources: (1) consumer promotion and fulfillment services, (2) trade promotion and fulfillment services and (3) retail merchandising services. Within our consumer promotion and fulfillment services
operations, our call centers recognize revenue based on the number of calls and agents assigned, according to written pricing agreements. Our consumer and trade promotion and fulfillment services operations record revenue at the conclusion of the
material selection, packaging and shipping process. Our retail merchandising services operations recognize revenue as services are rendered, based on contracted hourly billing rates. In general, we recognize revenues as programs are completed,
services are rendered and/or as products are shipped in accordance with the terms of the contracts. Some of the contracts include postage and other items purchased by us as an agent on behalf of our client. For these items, we record the net
billings to our customers as revenue.



Our
specialized staffing services operations record revenue as services are rendered, based on contracted hourly billing rates.

FISCAL 2002 COMPARED
TO FISCAL 2001



Reported results of
continuing operations for 2002 and 2001 include the marketing support services business and the German specialized staffing business. Results of continuing operations for 2001 also include the PIMMS store set-up business, which ceased operations
during the first quarter of 2001. Discontinued operations for 2002

include the divested UK specialized staffing business. Discontinued operations for 2001 include the divested UK specialized staffing services
business and the divested US and European aviation and facility services businesses.



Revenues.    Consolidated revenues decreased $12.2 million, or 4%, to $264.6 million for fiscal 2002 from $276.8 million for fiscal 2001. Revenue from our marketing support
services segment decreased to $127.6 million in 2002, from $141.3 million in 2001. Marketing support services revenues for fiscal 2001 included $0.9 million from the abandoned PIMMS operation. Revenue from our German staffing services
operations increased marginally to $136.9 million for 2002, from $135.5 million in 2001. Sales in our marketing support services operations were negatively impacted in 2002 by the effect of the slow-down in the economy on our customers and the
reduction in services outsourced to our merchandising services operations by a major retailer that is in bankruptcy proceedings.



Cost of Services.    Cost of services decreased $10.1 million, or 6%, to $149.0 million for fiscal 2002 from
$159.1 million for fiscal 2001. As a percentage of revenues, cost of services decreased to 56.3% for 2002 from 57.5% for 2001. Cost of services for fiscal 2001 included $0.4 million for the abandoned PIMMS operation. Excluding the costs from PIMMS,
cost of services decreased $9.7 million, or 6%. The decrease in cost of services is a result of the direct reduction in variable costs, including labor and related costs and material costs, associated with the reduction in sales between years from
our marketing support services operations. This decrease was due primarily to labor and shipping cost reduction programs implemented across all of marketing support services.



Gross Margin.    Gross margin decreased $2.1 million, or 2%, to $115.6 million for
fiscal 2002 from $117.7 million for fiscal 2001. As a percentage of revenues, gross margin increased to 43.7% for 2002 from 42.5% for 2001. Gross margin for fiscal 2001 included $0.5 million from the abandoned PIMMS operation. The decrease is
due to the reasons discussed above.



Operating
Expenses.    Operating expenses decreased $29.6 million, or 23%, to $100.1 million for fiscal 2002 from $129.7 million for fiscal 2001. As a percentage of revenues, operating expenses for fiscal 2002 decreased to 37.8%, from
46.8% in fiscal 2001. Operating expenses for fiscal 2001 included $0.5 million from the abandoned PIMMS operations. In addition, in the third and fourth quarters of 2001, due to the difficult economic environment, we performed a strategic review of
marketing support services operations and recorded charges to operating expenses of $15.7 million for 2001. These charges consisted of $4.4 million for estimated uncollectible accounts receivable; $3.7 million for the estimated costs of buying out
unattractive or redundant leases; $3.3 million for workers compensation claims, legal and other expenses related to the abandoned PIMMS operation; and $4.3 million for severance, legal, bonus and other costs associated with our efforts to
streamline operations. We also recorded an additional charge of $2.9 million to reserve against an outstanding receivable for a customer in bankruptcy proceedings in the fourth quarter of 2001. Excluding the costs from the abandoned PIMMS operations
and the identified additional charges, operating expenses decreased $10.5 million, or 9%. Approximately $0.9 million of the decrease can be attributed to cost savings gained in our marketing support services operations on lease, maintenance and
utility costs from the consolidation of several warehouses into one new facility in late 2001, and to cost savings gained from initiatives implemented in early 2002 to reduce operating costs across all divisions.In addition, approximately
$0.6 million of the decrease is due to the settlement of three legal disputes in the third and fourth quarters of 2002 for less than the amount reserved in 2001, with an additional $0.4 million of related legal fee expense reversed in the fourth
quarter. Approximately $0.6 million of the decrease is due to the collection of amounts in 2002 which were charged against bad debt expense in the fourth quarter of 2000, in addition to a fourth quarter reversal of an over allowance of bad debt
reserve of $0.2 million on a customer in bankruptcy proceedings. Approximately $0.5 million of the decrease is due to favorable settlements on facility and equipment lease terminations. Our German operations also implemented an operating cost
reduction plan in early 2002, resulting in reduced headcount and related costs in all areas of operations. Excluding the effect of PIMMS and the special charges, as a percentage of revenues, operating expenses decreased to 37.8% for fiscal 2002 as
compared to 40.0% for fiscal 2001.

Corporate
General and Administrative.    Corporate general and administrative expenses decreased $11.8 million, or 79%, to $3.1 million for fiscal 2002 from $14.9 million for fiscal 2001. As a percentage of revenues, corporate
general and administrative expenses decreased to 1.2% from 5.4% in fiscal 2001. As part of the strategic review of operations during 2001, corporate general and administrative expenses for fiscal 2001 included charges of $10.3 million, consisting of
$3.7 million to adjust the note receivable balance due from the sale of our US specialized staffing businesses to an estimated net realizable value; a charge of $3.3 million to expense various business development costs incurred which, based on the
economic environment, would not be realized; lease charges of $0.8 million incurred in conjunction with the closing of the Atlanta corporate offices and $2.5 million of severance costs for twelve employees. Excluding these charges and the effect on
revenue from PIMMS, corporate general and administrative expense decreased $1.5 million, or 33%, and as a percentage of revenues, these expenses decreased to 1.2% for fiscal 2002 as compared to 1.7% for fiscal 2001, due to cost savings in 2002 from
reductions in personnel and occupancy costs from the closing of the Atlanta office.



Depreciation and Amortization.    Depreciation and amortization expense decreased $13.1 million, or 66%, to $6.6 million for fiscal 2002 from $19.7 million for fiscal 2001.
As a percentage of revenues, depreciation and amortization expense decreased to 2.5% from 7.1% for 2001. As part of the strategic review of marketing operations during 2001, we recorded charges to depreciation and amortization expense of $6.4
million consisting of $2.9 million for various equipment and leasehold improvements at the facilities replaced during 2001 and $3.5 million for internally developed software which was replaced during 2001. Depreciation and amortization for
fiscal 2001 included approximately $5.9 million of goodwill amortization expense which is no longer being amortized in accordance with SFAS No. 142. Excluding the charges and the amortization of goodwill, depreciation and amortization decreased $0.8
million, or 11%, and as a percentage of revenues, excluding the effect on revenues PIMMS, depreciation and amortization remained consistent between fiscal 2002 and fiscal 2001.



Impairment Charges.    Impairment charges in fiscal 2002 represent a write down of
goodwill in the marketing support services business of $45.1 million recorded in the fourth quarter of 2002 under the annual goodwill impairment analysis performed pursuant to SFAS No. 142. We recorded a $4.2 million write down of goodwill on our
German specialized staffing operations in the second quarter of 2002 resulting from the estimated loss on disposal of German operations in accordance with APB No. 30. In 2001, our German specialized staffing operations recorded impairment charges of
$25.0 million in the third quarter and an additional $20.9 million in the fourth quarter to represent the then current estimate of the net realizable value of the business.



PIMMS Abandonment Costs.    PIMMS abandonment costs represent severance and other
related costs on the abandonment of the PIMMS operation. We completed the closing of the PIMMS operation on March 16, 2001. We took a charge for the related severance expense of $2.5 million for 2001.



Operating Loss.    Operating loss
was ($43.5) million for fiscal 2002 as compared to ($95.0) million for fiscal 2001. Operating loss for 2002 included a total of $49.3 million in impairment charges against goodwill. Operating loss for fiscal 2001 included impairment charges against
goodwill of $45.9 million, special charges of $35.3 million incurred in the strategic review of marketing support services operations as discussed above, a $2.5 million charge for the abandoned PIMMS operation and $5.9 million of goodwill
amortization expense. Excluding the charges, the abandoned PIMMS operation and the goodwill amortization, operating income was $5.8 million for 2002, compared to an operating loss of ($5.4) million in fiscal 2001. As a percentage of revenues,
excluding the effect of the charges and PIMMS, operating income was 2.2% for fiscal 2002, compared to an operating loss of (1.9%) for fiscal 2001. The improvement was primarily a result of the cost saving initiatives implemented in both our
marketing support services operations and our German specialized staffing services operations in 2002, as discussed previously.

Interest
Expense, Net.    Interest expense, net, represents the interest on our outstanding debt allocated to continuing operations. Net interest expense increased $4.4 million, or 57%, to $12.1 million for fiscal 2002 from $7.7
million for fiscal 2001, primarily due to the amortization of fees incurred in amending the Credit Facility in April 2002 and higher interest rates charged in fiscal year 2002. As a percentage of revenues, net interest expense was 4.6% for fiscal
2002 as compared to 2.8% for fiscal 2001.



Other Expense.    In fiscal 2002, other expense of $0.3 million includes losses incurred in the sale of a non-core marketing division and a note receivable, offset by a gain of $1.5 million on foreign
currency translation. The total includes a $1.5 million loss on the May 2002 sale of a note receivable arising from the sale of the Companys US staffing business in 2000. The note, with a book value of $5.0 million, was sold for $3.5 million,
resulting in the $1.5 million loss. Also in May 2002, the sale of a non-core marketing division for approximately $0.6 million resulted in a loss on sale of $0.3 million. In fiscal 2001, a loss on foreign currency translation of $0.2 million was
recorded.



Income Tax
Benefit.    Income tax benefit was ($3.8) million for 2002 and ($4.0) million for fiscal 2001. Due to our net operating loss, we provided for income taxes at an annual rate of 35.0% in 2002 and 2001, reduced by a valuation
allowance for all tax benefits in excess of net operating loss carry-backs. The 2002 income tax benefit is primarily due to German loss carry-backs for tax purposes and resulting refunds receivable.



DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS



On March 19, 2002, we sold our UK specialized staffing
services business. On December 29, 2000, we sold our US and European aviation and facility services businesses. In accordance with the provisions of APB No. 30, we have reflected the results of our UK specialized staffing businesses and our US and
European aviation and facility services businesses as discontinued operations in the consolidated balance sheets and statements of operations and cash flows. For all periods presented, this presentation reflects the net assets of these operations
segregated from the assets and liabilities of continuing operations, and the earnings of these segregated from the results of continuing operations.



Income From Operations  UK Specialized Staffing Services Business.    Revenues were $18.8 million and
$92.4 million for fiscal 2002 and 2001, respectively, for the UK specialized staffing business. Income from operations of $0.1 million for fiscal 2002 is net of $0.1 million of interest expense and an income tax benefit of ($2.0) million. Income
from operations of $0.1 million for fiscal 2001 is net of interest expense of $1.0 million and an income tax provision of $0.9 million.



Loss on Sale of Businesses  UK Specialized Staffing Services Business.    On March 19, 2002, we sold our
UK specialized staffing services business for $29.5 million in cash. We recorded a charge of $9.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2001 to reduce the net assets of this business to their realizable value. We recorded a tax valuation allowance equal
to the full amount of the tax benefit of this charge as the ultimate realization of these net operating loss carry-forwards was not assured.



Loss on Sale of Businesses  US and European Aviation and Facility Services Businesses.    On
December 29, 2000, we sold our US and European aviation and facility services businesses for $185 million in cash to Securicor. The sale price for the US and European aviation and facilities services businesses was subject to post-closing
adjustments based upon the 2001 actual performance of the businesses and a reconciliation of actual closing-date working capital to a target level of working capital. On April 12, 2002, we entered into a definitive settlement agreement with
Securicor pursuant to which we agreed to pay Securicor $13.0 million with respect to the adjustments. Securicor also released us from all pending and potential indemnity claims related to the sale of the US and European aviation and facility
services businesses, with limited exceptions. In connection with the settlement, we agreed to pay Mr. Frank Argenbright, the Chairman of our board of directors, $5.0 million to induce him to enter into the settlement agreement with Securicor.
The agreement contained a release of the Company from certain claims asserted against the Company by Securicor and was conditioned

upon a release by both the Company and Mr. Argenbright of certain claims against Securicor. Mr. Argenbright entered into his settlement
agreement on April 12, 2002, simultaneously with our execution of a settlement agreement with Securicor. At December 31, 2000, we had recorded a total of $12.8 million for our estimated liability to Securicor. In the fourth quarter of 2001, we
recorded an additional reserve of $5.2 million to accrue to the final settlement, which was then the subject of an agreement in principle with Securicor. In 2001, we also expensed $4.3 million for various costs related to the sale, including $2.0
million paid to Mr. Argenbright in satisfaction and termination of his performance bonus agreement, $1.0 million in estimated legal fees and $1.3 million in working capital adjustments. We recorded a related tax benefit of ($1.0) million.



NET LOSS



Net loss decreased $43.9 million to a loss of ($72.7) million
for fiscal 2002 from ($116.6) million for fiscal 2001 due to the reasons discussed above.



FISCAL 2001 COMPARED TO FISCAL 2000



Reported results from continuing operations for 2001 and 2000 include the marketing support services business and the German specialized staffing business. Continuing operations also includes the PIMMS store set-up business
which ceased operations during the first quarter of 2001. Discontinued operations for 2001 include the divested UK specialized staffing business and the divested US and European aviation and facility services businesses. Discontinued operations for
2000 include the divested US and UK specialized staffing services businesses and the divested US and European aviation and facility services businesses.



Revenues.    Revenues decreased $45.8 million, or 14%, to $276.8 million for fiscal 2001 from
$322.6 million for fiscal 2000. Revenue from our marketing support services segment decreased to $141.3 million in 2001, from $193.3 million in 2000. Marketing support services revenue included $0.9 million and $36.6 million for 2001 and
2000, respectively, for the abandoned PIMMS operation. Revenue from our German staffing services operations increased to $135.5 million for 2001, from $129.3 million in 2000 primarily due to the additional revenue in 2001 from the operational
branches that were added during 2000. Excluding PIMMS, revenues for fiscal 2001 decreased $10.1 million, or 4%. Compared to fiscal 2000, marketing support services revenues for fiscal 2001 were negatively impacted by three large one-time marketing
promotion projects for three consumer product customers which were completed in May 2000. Sales were also negatively impacted by the decline in e-business, the effect of the slow-down in the economy on our customers and the reduction in services
outsourced by a major retailer to our merchandising services division.



Cost of Services.    Cost of services decreased $21.4 million, or 12%, to $159.1 million for fiscal 2001 from $180.5 million for fiscal 2000. As a percentage of revenues, cost of services was 57.5%
for fiscal 2001 and 55.9% for fiscal 2000. Cost of services for fiscal 2001 and 2000 included $0.4 million and $24.2 million, respectively, for the abandoned PIMMS operation. Excluding PIMMS, cost of services increased $2.4 million, or 2%. This
increase was primarily the result of increased expenses in our German staffing operations to service the increased revenue between years. As a percentage of revenues, excluding PIMMS, cost of services increased to 57.5% for fiscal 2001 from 54.7%
for fiscal 2000. This increase was due primarily to changes in business mix between marketing support services, which generally experiences higher margins, and our specialized staffing operations. In 2001, marketing support services comprised 51% of
total revenues, a decrease from the 60% of total revenues that it contributed in 2000.



Gross Margin.    Gross margin decreased $24.4 million, or 17%, to $117.7 million for fiscal 2001 from $142.1 million for fiscal 2000. As a percentage of revenues, gross
margin was 42.5% for 2001 and 44.1% for 2000. Gross margin for fiscal 2001 included $0.5 million from the abandoned PIMMS operation, while gross margin for 2000 included $12.4 million for the abandoned PIMMS operation. Excluding PIMMS, gross margin
decreased $12.5 million, or 10%, and as a percentage of revenues, gross margin decreased to 42.5% for fiscal 2001 from 45.3% for fiscal 2000, due to the change in business mix as discussed above.

Operating
Expenses.    Operating expenses increased $6.1 million, or 5%, to $129.7 million for fiscal 2001 from $123.6 million for fiscal 2000. As a percentage of revenues, operating expenses increased to 46.8% for 2001 from 38.3% for
2000. Operating expenses for fiscal 2001 and fiscal 2000 included $0.5 million and $25.1 million, respectively, for the abandoned PIMMS operations. Due to the difficult economic environment, we performed a strategic review of marketing support
services operations in the third and fourth quarters of 2001, and recorded charges to operating expenses of $15.7 million. These charges consisted of $4.4 million for estimated uncollectible accounts receivable; $3.7 million for the estimated costs
of buying out unattractive or redundant leases; $3.3 million for workers compensation claims, legal and other expenses related to the abandoned PIMMS operation; and $4.3 million for severance, legal, bonus and other costs associated with our
efforts to streamline operations. In the fourth quarter of 2001, we recorded an additional charge of $2.9 million to reserve against an outstanding receivable for a retail merchandising customer in bankruptcy proceedings. Excluding the charges and
PIMMS, operating expenses increased $12.1 million, or 12%, and as a percentage of revenues, operating expenses increased to 40% for fiscal 2001 from 34.4% for fiscal 2000. Our German staffing operations experienced an increase in variable operating
expenses to meet the increase in revenue between years. In our marketing support services operations, operating expenses increased due to an investment in new state-of-the-art facilities, the expansion of our customer contact operations, the
expansion of our merchandising services national merchandiser infrastructure and the establishment of a vertical channel sales organization during 2001.



Corporate General and Administrative.    Corporate general and administrative expenses increased $7.4 million,
or 99%, to $14.9 million for fiscal 2001 from $7.5 million for fiscal 2000. As a percentage of revenues, corporate general and administrative expenses increased to 5.4% from 2.3% in 2000. As part of the strategic review of operations performed
during 2001, corporate general and administrative expenses for fiscal 2001 included charges of $10.3 million. These charges consisted of $3.7 million to adjust the note receivable balance due from the sale of our US specialized staffing businesses
to an estimated net realizable value; a charge of $3.3 million to expense various business development costs incurred which, based on the economic environment, would not be realized; lease charges of $0.8 million incurred in conjunction with the
closing of the Atlanta corporate offices and $2.5 million for severance costs for twelve employees. Excluding these charges and PIMMS, corporate general and administrative expense decreased $2.9 million, or 39%, and as a percentage of revenues,
these expenses decreased to 1.7% for fiscal 2001 as compared to 2.6% for fiscal 2000, due to cost reductions taken during 2001.



Depreciation and Amortization.    Depreciation and amortization increased $7.2 million, or 58%, to $19.7
million for fiscal 2001 from $12.5 million for fiscal 2000. As a percentage of revenues, depreciation and amortization expense increased to 7.1% for 2001, from 3.9% for 2000. As part of the strategic review of marketing support services operations
during 2001, we recorded charges to depreciation and amortization expense of $6.4 million, consisting of $2.9 million for various equipment and leasehold improvements at the facilities replaced during 2001 and $3.5 million for internally developed
software which was replaced during 2001. Depreciation and amortization for fiscal 2000 included $2.2 million for the abandoned PIMMS operation. Excluding the charges and the abandoned PIMMS operation, depreciation and amortization increased $3.0
million, or 29%, and as a percentage of revenues, depreciation and amortization increased to 4.8% for fiscal 2001 from 3.6% for fiscal 2000. The increase was primarily due to the additional amortization in 2001 related to the ServiceAdvantage
acquisition earn-out of $12.9 million paid on January 2, 2001, as well as additional depreciation expense from the significant leasehold improvements and equipment expenditures made in 2001 in conjunction with the move of the marketing support
services operations into two new facilities in 2001.



Impairment Charges.    In 2001, our German specialized staffing services operations recorded an impairment charge against goodwill of $25.0 million in the third quarter, and an additional $20.9 million in
the fourth quarter to represent the current estimate on the net realizable value of the business pursuant to APB No. 30. Impairment charges in fiscal 2000 represent the write off of the remaining goodwill of $60.2 million associated with the
abandoned PIMMS operation.



PIMMS Abandonment
Costs.    In December 2000, we committed to abandon operations of our PIMMS store set-up business unit, which we purchased in April 1999 for $65.0 million. A comprehensive strategic

review of the unprofitable store set-up business indicated that the business did not meet criteria for continued investment. The store set-up
business had become more project driven than anticipated with increasing surge capacity requirements and difficult-to-forecast utilization rates. To make the store set-up business profitable would have required significant additional investment to
develop geographic density and maintain a national infrastructure. In 2001, PIMMS abandonment costs represent final severance costs for employees of the PIMMS operation. We completed the closing of the PIMMS operation on March 16, 2001, and took a
charge for the related severance expense of $2.5 million. We recorded $6.5 million in impairment and other related costs in December 2000, which included: a write-off of assets, primarily computer systems which would no longer be utilized, of $2.6
million; severance and other related expenses paid during 2000 of $2.5 million; and the accrual for lease termination costs for the PIMMS facility of $1.4 million. In addition, we recorded, in operating expenses, $12.8 million in working capital
adjustments related to the abandoned PIMMS operations, primarily for disputed accounts receivable.



Operating Loss.    Operating loss was ($95.0) million for fiscal 2001, an increase from the ($68.2) million
operating loss for fiscal 2000. As a percentage of revenues, operating loss increased to (34.3%) for 2001 from (21.1%) for 2000. The operating loss for fiscal 2001 included charges of $35.3 million as discussed above, a $2.5 million charge for the
abandoned PIMMS operation, and $45.9 million in impairment charges on our German operations. The operating loss for fiscal 2000 included a loss of $81.6 million for the abandoned PIMMS operation. Excluding the charges and the abandoned PIMMS
operation, operating loss was ($11.3) million in fiscal 2001, as compared to operating income of $13.4 million in 2000. As a percentage of revenues, excluding the effect of the charges and the abandoned PIMMS operations, operating loss was (4.1)%
for fiscal 2001, as compared to operating income of 4.7% for fiscal 2000, primarily as a result of the decrease in gross margin and the investment in operating facilities for our marketing support services divisions.



Interest Expense, Net.    Interest
expense, net, represents the interest on our outstanding debt allocated to continuing operations. Net interest expense increased $0.7 million, or 10%, to $7.7 million for fiscal 2001 from $7.0 million for fiscal 2000. As a percentage of revenues,
interest expense increased to 2.8% for 2001, from 2.2% for 2000. The increase in interest expense allocated to continuing operations was primarily due to the amendment fees incurred in 2001 for the extension of the Credit Facility.



Other Expense.    Other expense
represents losses on foreign currency translation of $0.2 million for fiscal 2001 and 2000.



Income Tax Benefit.    Income tax benefit decreased $24.9 million to ($4.0) million for fiscal 2001 from ($28.9) million for fiscal 2000. We provided for income taxes at an
annual rate of 35.0% in 2001, reduced by a valuation allowance for all tax benefits in excess of net operating loss carry-backs. We provided for income taxes at a rate of 35% for fiscal 2000.



DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS



On March 19, 2002, we sold our UK specialized staffing
services business. On December 29, 2000, we sold our US and European aviation and facility services businesses. On October 13, 2000, we sold the assets of our US specialized staffing business. In accordance with the provisions of APB No. 30, we have
reflected the results of our US and European aviation and facility services businesses and our US and UK specialized staffing businesses as discontinued operations in the consolidated balance sheets and statements of operations and cash flows. For
all periods presented, this presentation reflects the net assets of these operations segregated from the assets and liabilities of continuing operations, and the earnings of these operations segregated from the results of continuing operations.



Income (Loss) From Operations  US and
UK Specialized Staffing Services Businesses.    Revenues from the UK specialized staffing businesses were $92.4 million for fiscal 2001. Income from operations of

2000 consisted of $88.0 million from the UK specialized staffing businesses and $41.0 million from the US specialized staffing business. Income from operations of $7.5 million for fiscal 2000 included operating income of $5.1 million from the
UK specialized staffing businesses and $2.4 million from the US specialized staffing business. Income from operations for fiscal 2000 was net of interest expense of $0.7 million and income tax provision of $4.2 million.

Facility Services Businesses.Revenues from these businesses were $448.7 million for fiscal 2000. The loss from discontinued operations of ($5.8) million for fiscal 2000 was net of the applicable interest expense of $11.0
million and income tax benefit of ($3.8) million.



Loss on Sale of Businesses  US and UK Specialized Staffing Services Businesses.    On March 19, 2002, we sold our UK specialized staffing services business for $29.5 million in cash. We recorded a
charge of $9.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2001 to reduce the net assets of the UK business to their realizable value. We recorded a tax valuation allowance equal to the full amount of the tax benefit of this charge as the ultimate
realization of these net operating loss carry-forwards is not assured. On October 13, 2000, we sold the assets of our US specialized staffing business to an investor group led by the former President of AHLs Baltimore staffing operation for
$22.5 million, which included notes receivable from the purchaser of $9.5 million, resulting in a loss of $1.7 million, net of tax benefit of ($1.2) million.



Gain on Sale of Businesses  US and European Aviation and Facility Services Businesses.    On
December 29, 2000, we sold our US and European aviation and facility services businesses for $185 million in cash to Securicor. The sale resulted in a gain of $50.0 million, net of taxes of $30.1 million, on a net book value of assets and
liabilities of $82.7 million, less disposal and transaction costs of $12.2 million and less a reserve for a possible downward purchase price adjustment of $10.0 million. The sale price for the US and European aviation and facilities services
businesses was subject to post-closing adjustments based upon the 2001 actual performance of the businesses and a reconciliation of actual closing-date working capital to a target level of working capital. On April 12, 2002, we entered into a
definitive settlement agreement with Securicor pursuant to which we agreed to pay Securicor $13.0 million with respect to the adjustments. Securicor also released us from all pending and potential indemnity claims related to the sale of the US and
European aviation and facility services businesses, with limited exceptions. In connection with the settlement, we agreed to pay Mr. Frank Argenbright, the Chairman of our board of directors, $5.0 million to induce him to enter into the settlement
agreement with Securicor. The agreement contained a release of the Company from certain claims asserted against the Company by Securicor and was conditioned upon a release by both the Company and Mr. Argenbright of certain claims against
Securicor. Mr. Argenbright entered into his settlement agreement on April 12, 2002, simultaneously with our execution of a settlement agreement with Securicor. At December 31, 2000, we had recorded a total of $12.8 million for our estimated
liability to Securicor. In the fourth quarter of 2001, we recorded an additional reserve of $5.2 million to accrue to the final settlement, which was then the subject of an agreement in principle with Securicor. In 2001 we also expensed $4.3 million
for various costs related to the sale, including $2.0 million paid to Mr. Argenbright in satisfaction and termination of his performance bonus agreement, $1.0 million in estimated legal fees and $1.3 million in working capital adjustments. We
recorded a related tax benefit of ($1.0) million.



NET INCOME (LOSS)



Net
income (loss) decreased $120.0 million to a loss of $(116.6) million for fiscal 2001 as compared to income of $3.4 million for fiscal 2000 due to the reasons discussed above.



DIVESTITURES AND ABANDONMENTS



UK specialized staffing business

transaction costs of $2.7 million, the sale yielded $26.8 million of proceeds, which were used to reduce

##### Table of Contents

outstanding debt. We recorded a charge of $9.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2001 to reduce the net assets of the UK business to their
realizable value. The remaining net assets of discontinued operations of $1.5 million at December 31, 2002 include approximately $0.9 million for an income tax refund receivable and $1.1 million of an escrow relating to the sale proceeds, net of
$0.5 million of accrued liabilities relating primarily to the remaining lease costs associated with the vacated UK administrative offices.



US and European aviation and facility services businesses



On December 29, 2000, we sold our US and European aviation and facility services businesses for
$185 million in cash to Securicor. The sale resulted in a gain of $50.0 million, net of taxes of $30.1 million, on a net book value of assets and liabilities of $82.7 million, less disposal and transaction costs of $12.2 million and less a
reserve for the possible downward purchase price adjustment of $10.0 million. Net after-tax proceeds were used to reduce debt. The sale price for the US and European aviation and facilities services businesses was subject to post-closing adjustments
based upon the 2001 actual performance of the businesses and a reconciliation of actual closing-date working capital to a target level of working capital.



On April 12, 2002, we entered into a definitive settlement agreement with Securicor pursuant to which we agreed to pay Securicor $13.0
million with respect to the adjustments. Securicor also released us from all pending and potential indemnity claims related to the sale of the US and European aviation and facility services businesses, with limited exceptions. In connection with the
settlement, we agreed to pay Mr. Frank Argenbright, the Chairman of our board of directors, $5.0 million to induce him to release certain claims he had asserted against Securicor in connection with his employment by Securicor. Securicor conditioned
its agreement to the settlement upon a release of such claims.



Our obligation to pay Securicor the $13.0 million settlement payment is evidenced by two secured, subordinated promissory notes in the amounts of $10.0 million and $3.0 million. Our obligation to pay the $13.0 million settlement
payment matures in two installments. The first installment, in the amount of $9.0 million, matured on April 12, 2003; the remaining installment of $4 million matures on October 12, 2003. We may prepay the notes at any time without premium or
penalty. The notes are secured by a lien on substantially all of our assets and a lien on substantially all of the assets of our US subsidiaries. Our obligation to pay the settlement amount, and the lien securing our obligation, is subordinate to
our obligation to pay all amounts outstanding or due pursuant to our existing Credit Facility and any substitute or replacement senior secured bank credit arrangement. We did not repay the $9.0 million installment of principal on the secured,
subordinated promissory notes issued to Securicor that were due on April 12, 2003 because we had not repaid in full all amounts pursuant to our Credit Facility on such date. The notes bear interest at a rate of 7% per annum. Interest on the notes
will accrue and be added to the principal until we repay or refinance the amounts outstanding under our Credit Facility, at which time interest on the notes will be payable quarterly. Our obligation to pay Mr. Argenbright $5.0 million is unsecured
and does not bear interest. The obligation matures on October 12, 2003. However, we are not permitted to pay Mr. Argenbright the principal amount of the obligations prior to our repayment in full of all amounts outstanding under our Credit Facility
and the termination of the Credit Facility and our payment in full of all amounts owing to Securicor.



At December 31, 2000, we had recorded a total of $12.8 million for our estimated liability to Securicor. In the fourth quarter of 2001, we
recorded an additional reserve of $5.2 million to accrue to the final settlement. In 2001 we also expensed $4.3 million for various costs related to the sale, including $2.0 million paid to Mr. Argenbright in satisfaction and termination of his
performance bonus agreement, $1.0 million in estimated legal fees and $1.3 million in working capital adjustments. We recorded a related tax benefit of ($1.0) million.



US specialized staffing services business



On October 13, 2000, we sold the assets of our US specialized
staffing business to an investor group led by the former President of our Baltimore staffing operation for $22.5 million, which included notes receivable from

the purchaser of $9.5 million, resulting in a loss of $1.7 million, net of tax benefit of ($1.2) million. Due to the economic downturn
affecting the US specialized staffing industry, in 2001 we adjusted the net carrying value of the notes receivable balance to $5.0 million, taking an additional charge of $3.7 million recorded in corporate general and administrative expenses in the
accompanying consolidated statements of operations. In 2002, the notes receivable were sold for $3.5 million, resulting in an additional $1.5 million loss recorded as other expense in the second quarter of fiscal 2002.



In accordance with the provisions of APB No. 30, we have
reflected the results of our US and European aviation and facility services businesses and our US and UK specialized staffing businesses as discontinued operations in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and statements of operations and cash
flows. For all periods presented this presentation reflects the net assets of these operations segregated from the assets and liabilities of continuing operations, and the earnings of these businesses segregated from the results of continuing
operations.



Abandonment



On December 28, 2000, we made the decision to abandon
operations of our store set-up business unit, formerly called PIMMS. A comprehensive strategic review of the unprofitable store set-up business indicated that the store set-up business did not meet criteria for continued investment. The store set-up
business had become more project-driven than anticipated with increasing surge capacity requirements and difficulties in forecasting utilization rates. To make the store set-up business profitable would have required significant additional
investment to develop geographic density and maintain a national infrastructure. As a result of this decision, we recorded $66.7 million in impairment and other related costs in December 2000, including a write-off of goodwill of $60.2 million, a
write down of assets, primarily computer systems which would no longer be utilized, of $2.6 million, severance and other related costs paid during 2000 of $2.5 million and the accrual for lease termination costs for the PIMMS facility of $1.4
million. In addition, we recorded, in operating expenses, $12.8 million in working capital adjustments related to the abandoned PIMMS operations, primarily for disputed accounts receivable. We completed the closing of the PIMMS business unit on
March 16, 2001, and recorded a final charge for the related severance expense of approximately $2.5 million in 2001. The results of the PIMMS business are reflected within continuing operations from the date of acquisition, April 30, 1999, through
the closing date in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.



LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES



Cash provided by operating activities was $7.7 million in 2002, compared to a use of cash of $13.9 million in 2001. Operating activities in 2000 provided $30.2 million in cash. Operating activities of continuing operations provided
$8.9 million in cash in fiscal 2002, while operating activities of discontinued operations used cash of $1.2 million. In 2002, net collections of income taxes refundable provided $10.3 million in cash, which was used to pay accounts payable and
accrued expenses. In 2001, operating activities of continuing operations used cash of $6.9 million, while operating activities of discontinued operations used cash of $7.0 million. Increases in working capital provided sources of cash to pay income
taxes in 2001. Operating activities of continuing operations provided cash of $20.0 million in fiscal 2000, while operating activities of discontinued operations provided $10.2 million of cash.



In 2002, investing activities provided $25.3 million of cash,
primarily through the sales of the UK staffing business for net cash proceeds of $26.8 million, a note receivable from the sale of the US specialized staffing business for $3.5 million and a non-core marketing business for $0.6 million. Additions to
property and equipment used $5.7 million of these proceeds. Cash used in investing activities was $35.1 million for fiscal 2001. Purchases of property and equipment were $15.1 million in fiscal 2001. We used $12.9 million in cash to pay the earn-out
payment from our 1999 acquisition of ServiceAdvantage, and $7.1 million in cash to pay transaction expenses on the sale of our US and European aviation and facility services business. In fiscal 2000, investing activities provided cash of $141.7
million. The sale of our US specialized staffing services business



29

##### Table of Contents

provided $10.5 million in cash, and the sale of our US and European aviation and facility services business provided cash of $172.7 million.
We used $17.3 million in cash for purchases of property and equipment. Cash paid for acquisitions of German specialized staffing businesses was $12.5 million in fiscal 2000, while cash paid for acquisitions of operations subsequently discontinued
was $11.7 million in fiscal 2000.



In 2002, cash
used in financing activities was $33.6 million, including net repayments on the Credit Facility of $31.5 million and payments of $2.1 million in debt issuance costs. Cash provided by financing activities was $35.1 million for fiscal 2001 For fical
2001, we received net borrowings under our Credit Facility of $38.4 million, offset by payment of expenses associated with amending the Credit Facility of $1.1 million. Also in fiscal 2001, we repurchased 260,000 shares of common stock for $2.3
million. For fiscal 2000, we made net payments on our Credit Facility of $143.8 million and repurchased 1,920,600 shares of our common stock for $17.7 million.



Capital expenditures



Capital expenditures were $5.7 million, $15.1 million and $17.3 million in fiscal 2002, 2001 and 2000, respectively. In fiscal 2001 we
moved into two large state-of-the-art facilities in Rogers, Minnesota and Romulus, Michigan. In conjunction with these relocations, we incurred capital expenditures for leasehold improvements and equipment at these facilities. In addition, our
German and UK specialized staffing services operations opened several branches in 2000 and early 2001. As a result, our capital expenditures for fiscal 2001 and 2000 were significantly higher than fiscal 2002.



Credit Facility



We obtain our working capital from borrowings pursuant to a
Credit Facility (the Credit Facility) with a syndicate of commercial banks. Wachovia Bank, National Association is the Administrative Agent for the lenders. Our borrowings under the Credit Facility are secured by a lien on substantially
all of our assets and the assets of our operating subsidiaries.



At December 31, 2001, we were not in compliance with a number of the covenants under the Credit Facility. On April 12, 2002, we reached agreement with our banks to amend the facility. The amendment eliminated the defaults, extended
the maturity of the Credit Facility from April 15, 2002 to January 3, 2003, reduced the amount we are permitted to borrow, increased the interest rates that we are required to pay and modified our financial covenants. Under the amended agreement, at
April 12, 2002, we were permitted to borrow up to $89.3 million.



We subsequently entered into additional amendments to the Credit Facility. Under the amendments, we are permitted to borrow up to $82.0 million. On March 28, 2003, in connection with the proposed merger, we obtained the consent of
our senior secured lenders to further extend the maturity date under our credit agreement, which was scheduled to expire on March 31, 2003. As extended, the credit agreement will expire on August 29, 2003, unless the proposed merger is cancelled or
an event of default occurs under the Credit Facility, in which event it will expire on the date the proposed merger is cancelled or an event of default occurs. At April 4, 2003, we had borrowings outstanding of $72.6 million under our Credit
Facility.



In connection with the proposed
merger, CGW is expected to obtain new financing arrangements to fund AHLs operations following the proposed merger. Our existing Credit Facility will be repaid with proceeds from the new financing and then terminated. If the proposed merger is
not consummated for any reason, our Credit Facility will expire on the date the proposed merger is cancelled. If the proposed merger is cancelled, management would attempt to negotiate with its lenders to extend the maturity of the Credit Facility.
However, we cannot assure you that such negotiations, if required, will be successful. We also cannot assure you that we will be able to obtain any replacement credit facility or that other sources of liquidity will be available to us if the
proposed merger is not completed and our Credit Facility is cancelled.



Under the Credit Facility, we are required to satisfy covenants relating to minimum consolidated adjusted EBITDA, fixed charge coverage ratios and limitations on capital expenditures, among others. We have monthly

targets for each financial covenant that we must meet. We are required to maintain a monthly consolidated adjusted EBITDA that exceeds
specified levels as set forth in the agreement. Our aggregate capital expenditures and disbursements relating to restructuring charges, as defined, from the period of November 1, 2002, through the end of each fiscal month ending July 2003 must not
exceed the amounts specified in the terms of the agreement. Finally, we have monthly minimum fixed charge ratios which we must maintain. If we fail to comply with the covenants, we will be in default. Upon the occurrence of a default, unless our
lenders grant a further waiver, we will not be permitted to borrow additional amounts under the Credit Facility, and the outstanding amounts will become immediately due and payable.



Going concern



Our consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that we will continue as a going concern.
As described in our consolidated financial statements, we have $72.5 million in bank borrowings which are due no later than August 29, 2003; we had a net working capital deficit of approximately $77.9 million at December 31, 2002; and we have
incurred recurring operating losses in recent years. Although the proposed merger, if completed as planned, would result in the retirement of a large portion of the debt and the recapitalization of the Company, there can be no assurance that such
transactions will close as contemplated. If the proposed merger is terminated, management would attempt to negotiate with its lenders to extend the maturity of its Credit Facility. Furthermore, in such event, management will undertake additional
efforts to raise capital and reduce costs. However, there can be no assurance that such negotiations, if required, will be successful. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on
recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.



CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS



We are obligated to make future payments under various contracts we have entered into, including amounts pursuant to the Credit Facility,
the settlement agreement with Securicor, equipment notes and non-cancelable operating lease agreements. Future contractual obligations related to these items at December 31, 2002 are as follows:



|Contractual Obligations |  | Total          |         | Less than 1 year |   | 1-3 years |  | 4-5 years |        | After 5 years
|----------------------- |  | -------------- | ------- | ---------------- | - | --------- |  | --------- | ------ | -------------

|Credit Facility         |  | $              | 72,534  |                  | $ | 72,534    |  | $         |       |              
|Settlement obligation   |  |                | 18,000  |                  |   | 18,000    |  |           |       |              
|Operating leases        |  |                | 72,473  |                  |   | 13,359    |  |           | 16,422 |              
|Equipment notes payable |  |                | 162     |                  |   | 162       |  |           |       |              
|                        |  |                |         |                  |   |           |  |           |        |              
|                        |  | $              | 163,169 |                  | $ | 104,055   |  | $         | 16,422 |              
|                        |  |                |         |                  |   |           |  |           |        |              



In
connection with the proposed merger, the Company entered into a conditional amendment, dated March 28, 2003, to its chief executive officers employment agreement. According to the conditional amendment, if the proposed merger is
consummated, the chief executive officer will be entitled to receive 1,900,000 restricted shares of AHLs newly-created Series B participating preferred stock in lieu of the lump-sum cash payment of $2,500,000 which would be due to the officer
upon a change in control of AHL.



The Company
entered into an employment agreement with its chief financial officer on April 1, 2002 which upon a change of control before April 1, 2004, provides for a lump-sum payment of $500,000, which would be reduced to $250,000 if a change of control occurs
after this date.



In addition to these costs, the
Company has contracted for and expects to incur other customary costs associated with the proposed merger, such as financial advisor and fairness valuation services.

INFLATION



We do not believe that inflation has had a material effect on
our results of operations in the three year period ended December 31, 2002. However, there can be no assurance that our business will not be affected by inflation in the future.



RISK FACTORS



Certain statements made in this Annual Report on Form 10-K and other written or oral statements made by or on behalf of AHL may constitute
forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws. When used in this report, the words believes, expects, anticipates, estimates and similar expressions are
intended to identify forward-looking statements. Statements regarding future events and developments and our future performance, as well as our expectations, beliefs, plans, estimates or projections relating to the future, are forward-looking
statements within the meaning of these laws. All forward-looking statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual events to differ materially from those projected. Management believes that these forward-looking
statements are reasonable; however, you should not place undue reliance on such statements. These statements are based on current expectations and speak only as of the date of such statements. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise
any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of future events, new information or otherwise, other than as required by law. Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially include, but are not limited to, those set forth below.



If we are unable to complete the proposed merger, our
business will be adversely affected.



If the
proposed merger is not completed, our business and our stock price will be adversely affected. CGW has not yet obtained financing commitments for the transaction, and we cannot assure you that they will be able to do so. If we are unable to complete
the proposed merger, we may be unable to continue to operate our business. Costs related to the proposed merger, such as legal, accounting and financial advisor fees, must be paid even if the transactions are not completed. Our lenders have extended
the maturity date of our Credit Facility to August 29, 2003. If the proposed merger is not completed for any reason, our Credit Facility will expire on the date the proposed merger is cancelled. If the proposed merger is cancelled, we would attempt
to negotiate with our lenders to extend the maturity date. However, we cannot assure you that such negotiations would be successful. We cannot assure you that we will be able to obtain any replacement credit facility or that other sources of
liquidity will be available to us if the proposed merger is not completed and our Credit Facility is cancelled.



We have entered into an amended Credit Facility under which we must satisfy certain financial and other covenants.



In connection with the proposed merger, we reached agreement with our banks to amend our Credit Facility.
Among other things, the amendment extended the maturity date to the earlier of August 29, 2003 or the date the proposed merger is completed or cancelled, reduced the amount we are permitted to borrow and modified our financial covenants. Under the
amended agreement, at March 28, 2003, we were permitted to borrow up to $82.0 million.



Although we have amended our Credit Facility and reduced our indebtedness over the last fiscal year, we still have substantial indebtedness. Our substantial indebtedness could have negative
consequences for our business, including the following:



| |  |  | limiting our ability to obtain additional financing in the future;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | limiting our ability to use operating cash flow in other areas of our business because we must dedicate a substantial portion of these funds to debt service;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | limiting our flexibility in reacting to changes in our industry and changes in market conditions;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



32



---

##### Table of Contents



| |  |  | increasing our vulnerability to a downturn in our business; and
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | increasing our interest expense due to increases in prevailing interest rates, because a substantial portion of our indebtedness bears interest at floating rates.
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



Under the amended Credit Facility,
we are required to satisfy covenants relating to minimum consolidated adjusted EBITDA, fixed charge coverage ratios and limitations on capital expenditures, among others. We have monthly targets for each financial covenant that we must meet. If we
fail to comply with the covenants, we will be in default. Upon the occurrence of a default, unless our lenders grant a further waiver, we will not be permitted to borrow additional amounts under the Credit Facility, and the outstanding amounts will
become immediately due and payable. Our borrowings under the Credit Facility are secured by a lien on substantially all of our assets and the assets of our operating subsidiaries.



We have experienced net losses.



We incurred net losses from continuing operations of $52.1 million for fiscal 2002. With the exception of the
third quarter of 2002, we have had net losses from continuing operations for all quarters in 2002 and 2001. In addition, we anticipate that we will have a net loss from continuing operations for the first quarter of 2003. We cannot assure you that
losses will not continue in the future. Consequently, as a result of these losses and due to the maturity date of our existing Credit Facility, the audit report to our Consolidated Financial Statements contains language regarding our ability to
continue as a going concern.



Our stock price is volatile.



The market price of our common stock has
been highly volatile and could be subject to wide fluctuations in response to quarterly variations in operating results, our success in implementing our business strategies, announcements of new contracts or contract cancellations, announcements of
technological innovations or new products and services by us or our competitors, changes in financial estimates by securities analysts, or other events or factors. In addition, the stock market has experienced substantial price and volume
fluctuations that have particularly affected the market prices of equity securities of many companies, and that have often been unrelated to the operating performance of such companies. These broad market fluctuations may adversely affect the market
price of our common stock.



Since only a
relatively small portion of our outstanding common stock is currently available for trading without restriction under Rule 144, and since our stock often trades at a relatively low volume level, any change in demand for our stock can be expected to
substantially influence the market prices for our common stock. The price of our stock varied from a high of $3.35 to a low of $0.14 during 2002.



We depend on our labor force.



Our success is largely dependent on our ability to recruit, hire, train and retain qualified employees. Our business is labor intensive
and continues to experience relatively high personnel turnover. Our operations generally require specially trained employees. Increases in our employee turnover rate could increase our recruiting and training costs and decrease our operating
efficiency and productivity. The addition of new clients or implementation of new projects for existing clients may require us to recruit, hire and train personnel at accelerated rates. There can be no assurance that we will be able to successfully
recruit, hire, train and retain sufficient qualified personnel to adequately staff for existing business or future growth. Additionally, since a substantial portion of our operating expenses consist of labor-related costs, increases in wages
(including minimum wages as mandated by the US federal government, employee benefit costs, employment tax rates, and other labor-related expenses) could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating profit and financial condition.
Furthermore, certain of our facilities are located in areas with relatively low unemployment rates, thus potentially making it more difficult and costly to hire qualified personnel.

##### Table of Contents



We depend on key management
personnel.



We depend in large part on the
abilities and continuing efforts of the officers and senior management within our marketing support services and our German specialized staffing services businesses. Our business and prospects could be materially adversely affected if our management
team is not able to effectively manage our operations or if current officers and managers do not continue in their key roles. In order to support growth, we must effectively recruit, develop and retain additional qualified management personnel. We
cannot assure you that in the future we will be able to recruit and retain additional qualified managers.



We are controlled by the Chairman of our board, our directors and our executive officers who beneficially own more than 51% of our common stock.



As of March 1, 2003, Frank A. Argenbright, Jr., our Chairman
of the board, beneficially owned approximately 47.1% of our outstanding common stock. As a group, our executive officers and directors own approximately 51.3% of our stock. As a result, Mr. Argenbright and our executive officers and directors are
able to control substantially all matters requiring action by our shareholders.



Our business relies on the trend toward outsourcing.



We believe there has recently been a significant increase in businesses outsourcing services not directly related to their principal business activities. Our business, results of operations and
financial condition could be materially adversely affected if the outsourcing trend declines or reverses, or if corporations bring previously outsourced functions back in-house. Particularly during general economic downturns, businesses may bring
previously outsourced functions in-house in order to avoid or delay layoffs.



We rely on a small number of clients for a significant portion of our revenues.



We focus on developing long-term relationships with large corporations and institutions. In 2002, our ten largest marketing support
services clients accounted for approximately 40% of our marketing support services revenues, while our ten largest German specialized staffing clients accounted for approximately 36% of our German specialized staffing revenues. Our success depends
substantially upon retaining our significant clients. We may lose clients due to a merger or acquisition, business failure, contract expiration, conversion to a competitor or conversion to an in-house system. We cannot guarantee that we will be able
to retain long-term relationships or secure renewals of short-term relationships with our significant clients in the future. If we lose one or more of our largest clients, then our business, results of operations and financial condition could be
materially adversely affected.



We do not have long-term
contracts with many of our clients.



Though
we have written agreements with many of our clients, we do not have written agreements with some of our major clients. We currently provide services to those clients pursuant to oral agreements. The written agreements that we have are generally
terminable for cause and can often be terminated without cause on short notice. Many of our agreements do not assure specific volume or revenue levels. In addition, our contracts generally do not provide that we will be the clients exclusive
service provider.



We depend on certain client industries.



We derive our marketing support services
revenue primarily from the automotive, consumer products, entertainment and retail industries. Our German specialized staffing services revenue is derived primarily from the light industrial, engineering, administrative, automotive and aerospace
industries. Fundamental changes in the business practices of any of these client industries, whether due to regulatory, technological, or other developments, could cause a material reduction in demand by our clients for the services offered by us.
Any reduction in demand could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.

Proposed German labor
reforms may adversely affect our German specialized staffing business.



The German government recently enacted legislation that was designed to decrease unemployment through, among other things, the increased use of temporary staffing. This legislation contains various
provisions that decrease the restrictions previously imposed on the temporary staffing market. The exception is that the legislation contains a requirement that, effective January 1, 2004, employees in temporary positions are to be paid according to
equal treatment, i.e. the same wage and benefits that a permanent employee would receive in the same position at the contracting company, or alternatively, according to a collective bargaining agreement. If a collective bargaining
agreement is not negotiated that provides for temporary employees to be paid at similar rates as reported in our historical operations, the implementation of this provision will increase our labor costs in Germany.



Our quarterly operating results may vary.



We have experienced and expect to continue to experience,
quarterly variations in revenues and operating results as a result of a variety of factors, many of which are outside our control, including:



| |  |  | timing of existing and future client product launches or service offerings;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | expiration or termination of client projects;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------



| |  |  | timing and amount of costs incurred to expand capacity in order to provide for further revenue growth from existing and future clients;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | seasonal nature of certain clients businesses; and
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | changes in the amount and growth rate of revenues generated from our principal clients.
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



We may not be able to keep pace with changing technology.



The markets for our business process outsourcing services are subject to rapid technological changes and
rapid changes in client requirements. This trend could adversely affect our business and financial results and result in the loss of clients and our ability to attract clients. While our Global Enterprise Management proprietary system is one of the
most advanced in the industry, we cannot assure you that our competitors will not develop more sophisticated or cost-effective systems. We cannot assure you that we will be able to select, invest in and develop new and enhanced technology on a
timely basis in the future in order to meet our clients needs and maintain competitiveness. We cannot guarantee that we will be successful in customizing products and services that incorporate new technology on a timely basis. Our failure to
successfully and timely implement sophisticated technology or to respond effectively to technological changes would have a material adverse effect on our success, growth prospects, results of operations and financial condition.



We face competition in our industry.



The markets in which we operate are highly competitive.
Management expects competition to persist in the future. Our competitors include small firms offering specific applications, divisions of large companies, large independent firms and in-house operations of our existing and potential clients. A
number of competitors have or may develop financial and other resources greater than ours. Similarly, there can be no assurance additional competitors with greater name recognition and resources than us will not enter the markets in which we
operate. Our performance and growth could be materially and adversely affected if our clients decide to retain in-house the services they currently outsource, or if potential clients retain or increase their in-house capabilities. A decision by our
large clients to consolidate their outsourced services with a company other than ours would materially and adversely affect our business. Competitive pressures from current or future competitors could result in substantial price erosion, which could
materially and adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.

We may suffer losses from
business interruptions.



Our operations
depend on our ability to protect our facilities, clients products, confidential client information, computer equipment, telecommunications equipment and software systems against damage from Internet interruption, fire, power loss,
telecommunications interruption, e-commerce interruption, natural disaster, theft, unauthorized intrusion, computer viruses and other emergencies. While we maintain certain procedures and contingency plans to minimize the detrimental impact of such
events, there can be no assurance such procedures and plans will be successful. In the event we experience temporary or permanent interruptions or other emergencies at one or more of our facilities that cause interruptions in our ability to meet our
clients requirements, it could result in decreased revenues, net income and earnings per share. While we maintain property and business interruption insurance, it may not adequately and/or timely compensate us for all losses we may incur.



Further, some of our operations require timely
and consistent access to telephone, Internet, e-commerce, e-mail, facsimile connections and other forms of communication 24 hours per day, seven days per week. We are substantially dependent upon telephone companies, Internet service providers and
various telecommunications infrastructure to provide these forms of communication. If such communications are interrupted on a short or long-term basis, our services would be similarly interrupted and delayed.



Our marketing support services operations also rely on
third-party carriers including United Parcel Service, Inc. and the United States Postal Service to ship and mail products from our distribution facility to purchasers. If our shippers experience interruptions from labor strikes or other events, our
ability to distribute products could be impaired.



We face
risks associated with general economic conditions.



We operate within US and international economies that are subject to various economic, market and other factors. We, as well as our clients, can be vulnerable to recession or other significant economic events or downturn. The US
economy and related financial markets have generally experienced downward fluctuations in the past twelve months. Economic instability or continued downturn may continue for the foreseeable future. These broad economic factors can adversely affect
our revenue.



ITEM 7A.    QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK



FOREIGN CURRENCY RISK



Our continuing operations include the German specialized staffing business. Our discontinued operations include the divested US and UK
specialized staffing businesses and the divested US and European aviation and facility services businesses. Revenues from foreign operations are received, and operating costs are incurred, in foreign currencies (primarily the Euro). The denomination
of foreign subsidiaries account balances in their local currency exposes us to certain foreign exchange rate risks. We address the exposure by financing most working capital needs in the applicable foreign currencies. We have not engaged in
hedging transactions to reduce exposure to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates.



INTEREST RATE RISK



We maintain a Credit Facility which subjects us to the risk of loss associated with movements in market interest rates. Our Credit Facility had a balance outstanding at December 31, 2002 of $72.5
million, which was at a variable rate of interest. Our Credit Facility requires that we convert indebtedness outstanding in foreign currencies into dollars for purposes of determining the total amount of indebtedness outstanding. An increase in the
value of a foreign currency relative to the dollar has the effect of reducing the amount we are otherwise permitted to borrow pursuant to the Credit Facility. We have not engaged in hedging transactions to reduce



36

##### Table of Contents

exposure to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. Based on outstanding borrowings, it is estimated that an increase in the
prevailing interest rate of 100 basis points would result in a decrease in net income of approximately $0.4 million, or $0.03 per share, for the year ended December 31, 2002.



ITEM 8.    FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA



Our financial statements are listed under Item 15(a) of this Annual Report on Form 10-K and are filed as part of this report on the pages
indicated. The supplementary data are included under Item 7 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.



ITEM 9.    CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND

FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE



On
May 31, 2002, we decided to dismiss Arthur Andersen LLP (Arthur Andersen) as our independent public accountants, effective as of May 31, 2002. We appointed Ernst & Young LLP as our new independent public accountants, effective as of
May 31, 2002. The decision to dismiss Arthur Andersen and to retain Ernst & Young LLP was approved by our board of directors upon the recommendation of our audit committee.



The audit reports of Arthur Andersen on our consolidated financial statements as of and for the fiscal years
ended December 31, 2001 and 2000 did not contain any adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, nor were they qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles.



During our two fiscal years ended December 31, 2001, and the subsequent interim period through May 31, 2002,
there were no disagreements between us and Arthur Andersen on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to Arthur Andersens
satisfaction, would have caused them to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreements in connection with their reports.



None of the reportable events described under Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K promulgated by the SEC occurred within our two fiscal
years ended December 31, 2001 and 2000, and the subsequent interim period through May 31, 2002.

and European aviation and facility services businesses to Securicor plc in December 2000, Mr. Argenbright assumed the position of Chief Executive Officer of the US Security Operations of Securicor to facilitate the transition. Mr. Argenbright
therefore resigned as AHLs Chairman and Co-Chief Executive Officer and assumed the position of AHLs Vice Chairman on December 29, 2000. In October 2001, upon completion of his services to Securicor, Mr. Argenbright was again elected
Chairman of the Board. He previously served as AHLs Chairman from 1979 until December 2000. In addition, Mr. Argenbright served as Co-Chief Executive Officer from 1994 until December 2000 and Chief Executive Officer from 1979 to 1994.

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance



Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, requires our executive officers and directors and persons who
beneficially own more than ten percent of our common stock to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission certain reports, and to furnish copies thereof to us, with respect to each such persons beneficial ownership of our equity
securities. Based solely upon a review of the copies of such reports furnished to us and certain representations of such persons, we believe that all filings were timely, except for one late Form 3 filing for Mr. Stubblefield concerning the
grant of an option to purchase 250,000 shares of AHL common stock.

|(1) |  | Options granted in fiscal 2002 were made under the 1997 Stock Incentive Plan (the Plan). These options:
|--- |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| |  |  | Expire ten years from the date of the grant, unless otherwise earlier terminated in certain events related to termination of employment; and
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| |  |  | Vest in 25% increments on the anniversary date of the grant, subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan.
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|(2) |  | We are required by the Securities and Exchange Commission to use a 5% and 10% assumed rate of appreciation over the ten-year option term. This does not represent our
estimate or projection of the future common stock price. If our common stock does not appreciate, the Named Executive Officers will receive no benefit from the options.
|--- |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



During 2001, the Company filed a tender offer statement pursuant to which certain employees were offered the
opportunity to exchange their existing options to purchase shares of common stock as granted under the Plan for new options to be granted under the Plan on or after July 1, 2002. The number of shares granted to employees was equal to the number of
shares exchanged by the option holder. The exercise price of the new option was equal to the closing sale price of common stock as reported on the replacement grant date, or $5.00, whichever was greater. Under this program, options for the purchase
of 185,000 shares of common stock were issued at an exercise price of $5.00 per share on July 10, 2002. Directors and Officers of the Company at the time of the filing of the tender offer were not eligible to participate in the exchange. Mr.
Anderson and Ms. McCreight were not Named Executive Officers at the time of the filing, and therefore they were eligible to participate in the option exchange.



The following table details the option repricings for Mr. Anderson and Ms. McCreight.

Employment and Severance Agreements



We have entered into employment agreements

A. Clayton Perfall.    We entered into an employment agreement with Mr. Perfall on October 1, 2001. The agreement with Mr. Perfall expires on September 30, 2005. This agreement may be terminated by
us (a) upon the employees death or inability to perform his duties on account of a disability for a period of three months during any twelve-month period, (b) for cause, or (c) upon 90 days written notice. The agreement may be terminated
by the employee upon 90 days written notice. If the agreement is terminated by us prior to September 30, 2003, except for cause or upon employees death or disability, we must pay the employee a severance payment equal to two times the
employees base salary in effect on such termination date. If the agreement is terminated by us after September 30, 2003, except for cause or upon employees death or disability, we must continue to pay the employees base salary and

compensation in excess of $4,000,000 per year on a prorated basis. As a condition to employment, Mr. Perfall has agreed to two year noncompetition and nonsolicitation provisions. In connection with the proposed merger, we entered into a conditional
amendment, dated March 28, 2003, to Mr. Perfalls employment agreement. According to the conditional amendment, if the proposed merger is consummated, Mr. Perfall will be entitled to receive 1,900,000 restricted shares of AHLs

three months during any twelve-month period, (b) for cause, or (c) upon written notice. The agreement may be terminated by the employee upon 30 days written notice. If the agreement is terminated by us, except for cause or upon employees
death or disability, we must pay the employee a severance payment equal to the employees annual base salary in effect on such termination date. The agreement provides for an annual base salary of $250,000 and for an annual bonus of up to 50%
of base salary, based upon our financial performance and achievement of personal objectives established for the employee by Chief Executive Officer. Upon a change in control before April 1, 2004, the agreement provides for a lump-sum payment to Mr.
Stubblefield of $500,000, which would be

days written notice. If the agreement is terminated by us, except for cause or upon employees death or disability, we must pay the employee a severance payment equal to one half the employees annual base salary in effect on such

REPORT ON EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION



The Compensation Committee is responsible for making decisions with respect to the compensation of AHLs executive officers and administering AHLs 1997 Stock Incentive Plan and Employee
Stock Purchase Plan. No member of the Compensation Committee is an employee of AHL.



The Compensation Committee has prepared the following report on AHLs policies with respect to compensation of AHLs executive officers for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2002.



Compensation Policies Towards Executive Officers



The compensation policies of AHL are
designed to:



| | 1. |  | attract, motivate and retain experienced and qualified executives
| | -- |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------

| | 2. |  | increase the overall performance of AHL

The Compensation Committee is responsible for ensuring that a proper system of short and long-term compensation is in place to provide
performance-oriented incentives to management, taking into account individual contribution, teamwork and performance levels.



Each executive officers compensation is determined annually by the Compensation Committee. Senior management makes recommendations

incentive awards.



Our compensation philosophy is
based on a pay for performance approach. The compensation program seeks to reward individual action that contributes to operating unit performance and overall company performance. Our goal is to be competitive with the marketplace on a total
compensation basis, including annual base salary and annual bonus and stock options:



| |  |  | Annual Base Salary.    Each executive officers base salary is based upon the competitive market for the executive officers
services, including the executives specific responsibilities, experience and overall performance. In keeping with our pay for performance approach, it is our objective to set the base salary at the market base salary level of our peers in the
industry. Base salaries are reviewed and may be adjusted annually. Changes in responsibilities are also taken into account in the review process.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Annual Bonuses.    We award discretionary year-end bonuses. These bonuses reflect the contribution of the individual as well as the
performance of the operating unit and AHL as a whole. Ranges of potential bonuses and performance measures are established annually for each position.
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



The performance measures applicable to a particular position vary according to the functions of the position.
Performance measures considered by the Compensation Committee include obtaining certain profitability goals as well as each individual meeting personal objectives relative to operational enhancements.

| |  |  | Stock Options.    We use long-term incentive compensation to compensate for achievement of performance measures which extend beyond one
year, while at the same time aligning managements interests with that of the shareholders. The Compensation Committee believes that stock-based awards are most appropriate for long-term incentive compensation. In 1997, we adopted the 1997
Stock Incentive Plan. Under this Plan, stock options may be granted by the Compensation Committee. In July 2002, the Compensation Committee granted stock options to two of our executive officers.

Chief Executive Officer Compensation



The executive compensation policy described above is applied
in determining Mr. Perfalls compensation. Mr. Perfall generally participates in the same executive compensation plans and arrangements available to the other senior executives. Accordingly, his compensation also consists of annual base salary,
annual bonus and stock options. The Compensation Committees general approach in establishing Mr. Perfalls compensation is to be competitive with peer companies, but to have a large percentage of his target compensation based upon the
long-term performance of the AHL, as reflected in part in the market price of AHL common stock.



Mr. Perfalls employment agreement provides for an annual base salary subject to increase by the board of directors, and makes him eligible for an annual bonus of up to 50% of base salary. Mr.
Perfalls compensation for the year ended December 31, 2002 included $400,000 in base salary and $175,000 in the form of a cash bonus. His bonus payments for 2002 were based on, among other factors, AHLs performance and the 2002
compensation of chief executives of comparable companies.



The Compensation Committee believes that it structured Mr. Perfalls compensation package to include a significant amount of at risk compensation that provides incentives tying the amount of his compensation to our
performance. Stock options produce value in direct proportion to the value realized by all shareholders from price appreciation. Important factors the Compensation Committee considered in determining his compensation package include pay packages
offered by similar industry companies, Mr. Perfalls previous experience and his expected role in focusing and refining our long-term strategies and engaging a strong management team. Mr. Perfalls base salary for 2003 will remain at
the same level.



Compensation Deductibility Policy



Under Section 162(m) of the Internal
Revenue Code, and applicable Treasury regulations, no tax deduction is allowed for annual compensation in excess of $1 million paid to any of AHLs five most highly compensated executive officers. However, performance-based compensation that
has been approved by stockholders is excluded from the $1 million limit if, among other requirements, the compensation is payable only upon attainment of pre-established, objective performance goals and the board committee that establishes such
goals consists only of outside directors as defined for purposes of Section 162(m). The Compensation Committee intends to maximize the extent of tax deductibility of executive compensation under the provisions of Section 162(m) so long
as doing so is compatible with the determinations as to the most appropriate methods and approaches for the design and delivery of compensation to AHLs executive officers.

STOCK PRICE PERFORMANCE
GRAPH



The following stock price performance
graph compares the performance of our common stock to The Nasdaq Stock Market and the index of Nasdaq Non-Financial Stocks. The stock price performance graph assumes an investment of $100 in our common stock on March 27, 1997 and an investment of
$100 in the two indexes on March 31, 1997 and further assumes the reinvestment of all dividends. The difference in the initial start date is due to the fact that our common stock did not start trading publicly until March 27, 1997. We believe that
the net effect of this difference in start dates will not have a material effect on the performance graph. Stock price performance, for the period from March 31, 1997 through December 31, 2002 is not necessarily indicative of future results.

charges to a mutual customer and (2) the co-marketing agreement entered into in conjunction with the sale of Gage Marketing Services, now known as Archway Marketing Services, to AHL in 1998.



Mr. Gage and his immediate family together control and
actively manage Gage Marketing Group, LLC, Gage Travel, Inc., Marketing Bridge, LLC, and Gage In-Store Marketing, LLC. Neither Mr. Gage nor his family control or actively manage Carlson Real Estate Company or Carlson Marketing Group, Inc. All
transactions were priced at arms length.



In 2003, we will pay to each of Mr. Knox, Mr. Ward and Mr. Beard $50,000 for service on a special committee to review and evaluate the fairness of the proposed merger. Including the customary director fees, meeting attendance fees,
and the special committee compensation, we will pay Mr. Knox, Mr. Ward and Mr. Beard in excess of $60,000 in 2003.



In 2001, we entered into a settlement agreement with Mr. Argenbright pursuant to his former employment with the Company. As part of this
agreement, we agreed to guarantee up to $10,000,000 of Mr. Argenbrights personal debt for a period of three years from the date of the sale of our European staffing business or such earlier time as allowed by our Credit Facility. In connection
with the proposed merger, we entered into an agreement with Mr. Argenbright, dated March 28, 2003, pursuant to which we may elect to terminate our obligation to guarantee Mr. Argenbrights personal indebtedness at any time in return for a
payment to Mr. Argenbright of $2,000,000.



On April 12, 2002, in connection with our settlement agreement with Securicor plc relating to post-closing adjustments for the sale of our US and European aviation and facility services business, we agreed to pay Mr. Argenbright
$5 million to induce him to enter into the settlement agreement with Securicor. The agreement contained a release of the Company from certain claims asserted against the Company by Securicor and was conditioned upon a release by both the Company and
Mr. Argenbright of certain claims against Securicor. The obligation to pay Mr. Argenbright matures on October 12, 2003, is unsecured and does not bear interest.



Effective September 2002, we entered into an agreement with a third party and Air Serv Corporation,
(Air Serv), a corporation owned by Mr. Argenbright and Mr. Knox, to sublet our courtside suite at the Philips Arena through the remaining lease term of August 2004. Air Serv and the third party have agreed to pay 50% of the remaining
lease payments under the lease agreement, or approximately $108,000, in exchange for 100% access to the suite. These payments will reduce our future rent expense. The transaction was priced at arms length.



At December 31, 2002, AHL holds a receivable from Mr.
Argenbright for approximately $24,000 relating to employee wages and benefits paid by AHL, on Mr. Argenbrights behalf, to an employee who, in 2001, was working jointly for AHL and Mr. Argenbright personally.



Any future transactions between AHL Services and its officers,
directors or principal shareholders will be approved by a majority of the disinterested members of the board of directors.



REPORT OF THE AUDIT COMMITTEE



Our Audit Committee, which operates under a written charter, oversees our Companys financial reporting process on behalf of the

| |  |  | reviewed and discussed with management and Ernst & Young LLP (Ernst & Young), our independent auditors, our financial statements to be included
in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the years ended December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000,

| |  |  | reviewed and discussed with management and Ernst & Young our financial statements included in our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the year ended December 31,
2002,
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | discussed with Ernst & Young the matters required by Statement of Accounting Standards No. 61 (Communications with Audit Committee), and
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | received from and discussed with Ernst & Young the written disclosures and letter from Ernst & Young required by Independence Standards Board Standard No. 1
(Independence Discussions with Audit Committee) regarding their independence.
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



The Audit Committee has reviewed the other services, included non-audit services, provided to AHL during the year ended December 31, 2002 and determined that the provision of the non-audit services
described in All Other Fees below is compatible with maintaining Ernst & Youngs independence.



Ernst & Young has served as our independent auditor since May 31, 2002 and is familiar with our business affairs, financial controls,
accounting procedures and industry segment. The Audit Committee appointed Ernst & Young to audit our financial statements for the year ending December 31, 2003.



Our companys management is responsible for our companys internal controls and financial
reporting. Ernst & Young, our independent auditors, are responsible for auditing our companys annual financial statements in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards and for issuing a report on those financial statements. The
Audit Committee is responsible for monitoring and reviewing these processes. As part of this oversight process, the Audit Committee regularly meets with our companys management and our outside auditors. It is not the Audit Committees
duty or responsibility to conduct auditing or accounting reviews or procedures. The members of the Audit Committee are not professionally engaged in the practice of auditing or accounting and rely, without independent verification, on the
information provided to them and on the representations made to them by management and the independent accountants.



Based on the reports and discussions described in this report, and subject to the limitations on the role and responsibilities of the
Audit Committee referred to above, the Audit Committee recommended to the board of directors that the audited consolidated financial statements of the Company be included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2002 for
filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.



All of the members of the Audit Committee have been determined to be independent in accordance with the requirements of Rule 4350(d)(2) of the National Association of Securities Dealers listing standards.

ITEM 14.    CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES



Disclosure controls and procedures are our controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information we are required to disclose in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange

REPORT OF
INDEPENDENT AUDITORS



Board of Directors and Stockholders of
AHL Services, Inc.:



We have audited the accompanying
consolidated balance sheets of AHL Services, Inc. (a Georgia corporation) as of December 31, 2002 and 2001, and the related consolidated statements of operations, shareholders equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period
ended December 31, 2002. Our audits also included the financial statement schedule listed in the Index at Item 14(a). These consolidated financial statements and schedule are the responsibility of the Companys management. Our responsibility is
to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements and the schedule 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 consolidated financial statements referred to above
present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of AHL Services, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2002 and 2001, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December
31, 2002, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. Also, in our opinion, the related financial statement schedule, when considered in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole, presents
fairly in all material respects the information set forth therein.



The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that AHL Services, Inc will continue as a going concern. As more fully described in Note 1, the Company has incurred recurring operating losses, has bank
borrowings outstanding of approximately $72.5 million, which are due no later than August 29, 2003, and has a working capital deficiency. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Companys ability to continue as a going concern.
Managements plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 1. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the
amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from the outcome of this uncertainty.



As discussed in Note 3, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 142 effective January 1, 2002. Also, as discussed in Note 2, the financial statements for 2000 and 2001 have
been restated.

AHL
SERVICES, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS



|1. |  | DESCRIPTION OF THE BUSINESS
|-- |  | ---------------------------



ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS



The continuing operations of AHL Services, Inc. (AHL or the Company), a Georgia corporation incorporated in March
1997, provide outsourced marketing support services in the United States and specialized staffing services in Germany. The Companys marketing support service offerings include trade promotion and fulfillment services, consumer promotion and
fulfillment services and retail merchandising. AHLs specialized staffing services provide electricians, welders, plumbers, customer service representatives and industrial workers for clients throughout Germany.



BASIS OF PRESENTATION



On March 19, 2002, the Company sold its UK specialized
staffing services business for $29.5 million in cash (see Note 4). On December 29, 2000, wholly-owned subsidiaries of AHL sold the stock in the Companys subsidiaries, Argenbright Security, Inc. and The ADI Group Limited, AHLs US and
European aviation and facility services businesses. On October 13, 2000, AHL sold the assets of its US specialized staffing business to an investor group led by the former President of AHLs Baltimore staffing operation. On December 28, 2000,
AHL made the decision to abandon operations of its store set-up business unit, formerly called PIMMS.



Reported results from operations include the continuing marketing support services business and the German specialized staffing business.
Results from operations for 2001 and 2000 also include the abandoned PIMMS store set-up business which ceased operations March 16, 2001. The results of the US and UK specialized staffing services businesses and the US and European aviation and
facility services businesses have been presented as discontinued operations for all periods presented (see Note 4). The accompanying notes to the consolidated financial statements, except Note 4, relate only to the continuing operations of AHL.



CONTEMPLATED SALE, GOING CONCERN, LIQUIDITY AND MANAGEMENT
PLANS



The Company entered into a proposed
merger agreement with a newly-formed corporation owned by CGW Southeast Partners IV, L.P. (CGW), dated March 28, 2003, under which an affiliate of CGW will acquire control of the Company by purchasing all the outstanding shares of AHL
not held by certain members of management and shareholders in exchange for $1.50 per share in cash. AHL will then merge with the CGW affiliate and AHL will be the surviving corporation (the proposed merger). The proposed merger, if
completed, would constitute a going private transaction and would result in AHL no longer being publicly traded. Shares held by Mr. Perfall, AHLs chief executive officer, Mr. Argenbright, AHLs founder and Chairman, and one other
shareholder (the Continuing Shareholders) will be converted into shares of the surviving corporation. The Continuing Shareholders will maintain an approximate 40% equity interest in AHL after the proposed merger. CGW will own the
remaining interest of approximately 60%. The proposed merger is expected to be completed in the third quarter of fiscal year 2003. The proposed merger is subject to the approval of a majority of AHLs shares as well as the approval of a
majority of the shares not held by the Continuing Shareholders. It is also subject to CGW obtaining necessary financing and other customary closing conditions.



At December 31, 2002, the Company had outstanding bank borrowings of approximately $72.5 million. In connection with the proposed merger
agreement, AHL obtained the consent of its senior lenders to a further extension of the maturity of its credit agreement, which was scheduled to expire on March 31, 2003. As extended, the credit agreement will expire on August 29, 2003, unless the
transaction with CGW is cancelled, in which event it will expire on the date the transaction is cancelled. As a result, this debt is reflected as a current liability in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet.

##### Table of Contents



The
Companys consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming it will continue as a going concern. As described in these consolidated financial statements, the Companys $72.5 million in bank borrowings are due no later than
August 29, 2003. The Company had a net working capital deficit of approximately $77.9 million at December 31, 2002 and has incurred recurring operating losses in recent years. Although management has entered into a proposed merger with an affiliate
of CGW which, if executed as planned, will result in the retirement of a large portion of the debt and the recapitalization of the company, there can be no assurance that such transactions will close as contemplated. If the proposed merger is
terminated, management believes, consistent with its past experience, that it will be able to negotiate with its lenders to extend the maturity of its debt and undertake additional efforts to raise capital and reduce costs. However, there can be no
assurance that such negotiations, if required, will be successful. There also can be no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain any replacement credit facility or that other sources of liquidity will be available if the proposed merger is
not completed and the Credit Facility is cancelled. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of
liabilities that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.



|2. |  | RESTATEMENT AND RECLASSIFICATION
|-- |  | --------------------------------



The Company has restated and reclassified its financial statements for each of the two years ended December 31, 2001. Unaudited quarterly
financial data for 2001, as shown in Note 13, have also been restated and reclassified. Except as otherwise stated herein, all information presented in the consolidated financial statements and related notes includes all such restatements and
reclassifications.



The operating results,
including impairment charges and related balance sheet accounts, of the Companys German specialized staffing business have been reclassified from discontinued operations to continuing operations in the consolidated financial statements for all
periods presented. Beginning in the third quarter of 2001 and continuing into the fourth quarter of 2002, these operations were being actively marketed for sale and were therefore presented in accordance with Accounting Principles Board
(APB) Opinion No. 30 Reporting the Results of Operations  Reporting the Effects of Disposal of a Segment of a Business, and Extraordinary, Unusual and Infrequently Occurring Events and Transactions as discontinued
operations. The reclassification to continuing operations was required as the Company ceased marketing the German operations in conjunction with the proposed merger.



In addition, management has determined that certain items of expense were incorrectly reported in its
previously issued 2000 and 2001 financial statements. These items principally relate to the accounting for rent escalation clauses in leases, the computation of expense related to workers compensation exposures, the treatment of foreign
exchange rate changes on intercompany borrowings, the recognition of liabilities and related expense related to restructuring and other charges. The most significant item relates to the determination of valuation allowances related to the
Companys net deferred tax asset. In 2001, at a time when the Company had incurred significant cumulative losses as defined by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 109, Accounting for Income
Taxes, the Company recognized a net deferred tax asset. This amount should have been reserved for through the recognition of an additional valuation allowance. While management does not believe that these adjustments were material to the 2000
or 2001 financial statements, they are required under generally accepted accounting principles, and if left uncorrected, the impact on 2002 or thereafter could be material.

|3. |  | SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
|-- |  | ------------------------------------------



PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION



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



FISCAL YEAR-END



The
Companys fiscal year-end is December 31. The Companys US operations maintains its books by using a 52/53-week fiscal year ending on the last Friday in December. The Companys US operations fiscal years ended on December 27,
2002, December 28, 2001 and December 29, 2000. Fiscal years 2002, 2001 and 2000 include 52 weeks. Management believes that the impact of the use of different year-ends is immaterial to the Companys consolidated financial statements taken as a
whole.



USE OF ESTIMATES



The preparation of financial statements in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires 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 revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.



CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS



Cash and cash equivalents, which include highly liquid investments with original purchase maturities of three months or less, are stated
at cost which approximates fair value.



REVENUE RECOGNITION



AHL derives its marketing support services
revenue primarily from three sources: (1) consumer promotion and fulfillment services, (2) trade promotion and fulfillment services and (3) retail merchandising services. Within consumer promotion and fulfillment services, the Companys call
centers recognize revenue based on the number of calls and agents assigned, according to written pricing agreements. The consumer and trade promotion and fulfillment services operations record revenue at the conclusion of the material selection,
packaging and

##### Table of Contents

shipping process. The retail merchandising services operations recognize revenue as services are rendered, based on contracted hourly billing
rates. In general, the Company recognizes revenues as programs are completed, services are rendered and/or as products are shipped in accordance with the terms of the contracts. Some of the contracts include postage and other items purchased by the
Company as an agent on behalf of its client, who generally dictates all of the facets of the transaction, including the common carriers and level of postage class to be used. For these items, the Company records the net billings to its customers as
revenue. The Companys German specialized staffing services operations record revenue as services are rendered, based on contracted hourly billing rates.



ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS



The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers and adjusts credit limits based upon payment history and the
customers current credit worthiness, as determined by managements review of their current credit information. The Company continuously monitors collections and payments from its customers and maintains a provision for estimated credit
losses based upon historical experience and any specific customer collection issues that have been identified.



INTEREST ALLOCATION



The Company allocates interest expense to discontinued operations in accordance with EITF No. 87-24, which requires an allocation based on the net assets of the discontinued operations relative to the
total net assets plus debt of the consolidated company. For fiscal years 2002, 2001 and 2000, interest expense of approximately $0.1 million, $1.0 million and $11.7 million, respectively, was allocated to discontinued operations.



UNBILLED SERVICES



Unbilled services represent revenues recorded on services
rendered, programs completed, or product that has been shipped for which the customer has yet to be billed.



WORK IN PROCESS



Work in process consists of labor and material costs for fulfillment programs provided to customers that have not been completed. Work in process is recognized as a cost in future periods as the revenue is recognized.



REIMBURSABLE CUSTOMER EXPENSES



Reimbursable customer expenses consist of amounts billed to
customers for freight and postage related to fulfillment services and travel expenses related to merchandising services.



ADVERTISING AND PROMOTION COSTS



Advertising and promotion costs are expensed as incurred. For fiscal years 2002, 2001 and 2000, these costs totaled $1.5 million, $1.9
million and $1.7 million, respectively.

PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT



Property and equipment consist of the
following:

Property
and equipment are recorded at cost, less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization are provided using the straight-line method over estimated useful lives of three to ten years for furniture and equipment and three to
five years for computer software. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the lesser of their useful lives or the terms of the related leases. When assets are retired or sold, the cost and related accumulated depreciation and amortization are
removed from the accounts and any gain or loss is reflected in income.



The Company accounts for internally developed software in accordance with Statement of Position (SOP) 98-1, Accounting for the Cost of Computer Software Developed or Obtained for Internal Use. SOP
98-1 provides for the capitalization of certain internal software development costs and amortization over the life of the related software. Amounts capitalized during fiscal years 2002 and 2001 were $2.9 million and $5.2 million, respectively.



Depreciation and amortization expense related to
property and equipment was $6.3 million, $13.4 million and $4.6 million for the years ended December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000, respectively. In 2001, depreciation and amortization expense included a write off of $6.4 million, consisting of $2.9
million for various equipment and leasehold improvements replaced during 2001 and $3.5 million for internally developed software replaced during 2001.



GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLES, NET



Goodwill equal to the fair value of consideration paid in excess of the fair value of net assets purchased has been recorded in
conjunction with several of the Companys acquisitions. Intangibles consist of customer lists and are being amortized over 20 years.



In July 2001, SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, was issued. Under SFAS No. 142, goodwill and indefinite
lived intangible assets are no longer amortized but are reviewed annually for impairment. Separable intangible assets that are not deemed to have an indefinite life will continue to be amortized over their useful lives. The standard also requires a
reassessment of the useful lives of identifiable intangible assets other than goodwill and a test for impairment of goodwill and intangibles with indefinite lives annually, unless events and circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts may not
be recoverable.



Prior to the Companys
adoption of SFAS No. 142, it accounted for goodwill and intangible assets under the provisions of SFAS No. 121, Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed of. Under SFAS No. 121, the
Company reviewed its long-lived assets, including goodwill and identifiable intangibles, for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicated that the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable. This evaluation entailed a
comparison between the undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated over the remaining life of the long-lived assets to the carrying value of these



F-11

##### Table of Contents

assets. If the amount of the expected undiscounted cash flows exceeded the carrying amount of these long-lived assets, no impairment was
deemed to exist. The Company utilized the most recent operating budgets and forecasts when performing this evaluation. During 2001, management committed to a plan to sell the German specialized staffing business. Accordingly, it applied the
provisions of APB No. 30, which required that the German subsidiaries net assets be recorded at their estimated net realizable value, which is equal to the amount of estimated net proceeds on the sale of the business. In applying these
provisions, AHL recorded impairment charges totaling $45.9 million on the German specialized staffing services business in the third and fourth quarters of 2001 and $4.2 million during the second quarter of 2002. In conjunction with the
reclassification of the German net assets and operations to continuing operations, these impairment charges have been reflected as a reduction of goodwill and included in income from continuing operations during their respective periods.



The Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No.
142 effective January 1, 2002. Utilizing the services of an independent third party valuation expert, AHL performed a valuation of goodwill relating to its marketing support services business utilizing a combination of discounted cash flows, the
quoted market price of its common stock and a comparison to the value of comparable companies. Based on this analysis, as of January 1, 2002 the Company recorded an impairment charge in the amount of $20.7 million which is reflected as a cumulative
change in accounting principle in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. The Companys marketing support services business completed its annual impairment analysis in the fourth quarter of 2002 and recorded an additional
impairment charge in the amount of $45.1 million. The Companys German specialized staffing business recognized an impairment charge of $4.2 million in the second quarter of 2002 resulting from the estimated loss on disposal of German
operations in accordance with APB No. 30. The following table shows the changes in the carrying amount of goodwill for the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001:

Amortization expense for goodwill and intangibles totaled $0.3 million, $6.3 million and $7.9 million for fiscal 2002, 2001 and 2000, respectively. For fiscal years 2003-2007, amortization expense on intangible assets is estimated at
$0.3 million annually.



EARNINGS PER SHARE



SFAS No. 128, Earnings Per Share, has been
applied to all periods presented in these financial statements. SFAS No. 128 requires disclosure of basic and diluted earnings per share. Basic earnings per share is based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period.
Diluted earnings per share is based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding and the dilutive effect, if any, of common stock equivalent shares issuable upon the conversion of stock options (using the treasury stock method). Because of
the loss from continuing operations for the years presented, diluted earnings per share do not consider the incremental shares from assumed conversion of stock options granted. The number of potential shares of common stock excluded from the
calculation of diluted shares was 38,000 and 92,000 for fiscal years ended December 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively. There is no such effect for 2002 as all options outstanding are out-of-the money.



STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION



The Company accounts for stock option grants using the
intrinsic value method under APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, under which no compensation cost has been recognized. Had compensation cost for these plans been determined using the fair value method consistent
with SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, the Companys net income and earnings per share would have been reduced to the following pro forma amounts for 2002, 2001 and 2000:

The weighted
average fair value of options granted was $0.92, $4.30 and $4.45 for fiscal years 2002, 2001 and 2000, respectively. The fair value of each option granted is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the
following weighted average assumptions used for grants in 2002, 2001 and 2000:



|                              |  | 2002   |  | 2001        |  | 2000

The pro
forma effect on net income is not representative of the pro forma effect on net income in future years because the options vest over several years and additional awards may be made in the future.



FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION AND EXPOSURE



In the accompanying consolidated balance sheets, all asset
and liability accounts of foreign subsidiaries are translated into US dollars at the rate of exchange in effect at the balance sheet date. Shareholders equity is translated at historical rates. All income statement accounts of foreign
subsidiaries are translated at average exchange rates during the year. Resulting translation adjustments arising from these translations are charged or credited directly to accumulated other comprehensive income. Gains or losses on foreign currency
transactions are included in income as incurred. Approximately $1.5 million relating to a gain on the translation of intercompany balances is recorded as other income for fiscal 2002 in the accompanying consolidated income statements. For fiscal
2001 and 2000, approximately $0.2 million was recorded in each year relating to a loss on the translation of intercompany balances. The denomination of foreign subsidiaries account balances in their local currencies exposes the Company to
certain foreign exchange rate risks. The Company addresses the exposure by financing most working capital needs in the applicable foreign currencies. The Company does not engage in other purchased hedging transactions to reduce any remaining
exposure to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates.



OTHER COMPREHENSIVE INCOME (LOSS)



The Company reports comprehensive income or loss in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 130, Reporting Comprehensive Income. SFAS No. 130 establishes standards for reporting comprehensive income and loss and its
components in financial statements. For the Company, the difference between reported net income (loss) and comprehensive income (loss) is due to foreign currency translation adjustments. Tax effects of the components of other comprehensive income or
loss are not considered material for any periods presented.



SHARE REPURCHASE



The
Company initiated a share repurchase program in fiscal 2000 under the provisions of its credit agreement, which allowed for a total share repurchase of up to $20 million. The Company repurchased 1,960,000 shares in 2000 for $17.7 million, and
completed the program with an additional 260,000 shares repurchased in 2001 for $2.3 million.



FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS



SFAS No. 107, Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments, requires disclosure of the fair value, or the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction
between willing parties, of certain financial instruments. Because of the Companys current liquidity situation and the proposed merger, it is not practicable for the Company to estimate the fair value of the $72.5 million of borrowings

outstanding under the Credit Facility. Cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, unbilled services and accounts payable approximate
fair value because of the relatively short maturity of these instruments.



NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS



In August 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS No. 144, Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, which was effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001. The
provisions of SFAS No. 144 provide accounting models for impairment of long-lived assets and discontinued operations. The Companys adoption of SFAS No. 144 has not had a material effect on the Companys financial position or
operating results.



In June 2002, the FASB issued
SFAS No. 146, Accounting for Costs Associated With Exit or Disposal Activities. SFAS No. 146 addresses financial accounting and reporting for costs associated with exit or disposal activities and requires the costs to be recorded at
their fair values when a liability has been incurred. Under previous guidance, certain exit costs were accrued upon managements commitment to an exit plan, which is generally before an actual liability has been incurred. AHL is required to
adopt SFAS No. 146 for any exit or disposal activities initiated after December 31, 2002. The Company does not believe the adoption of SFAS No. 146 will have a material impact on the Companys results of operations or financial condition.



In November 2002, the FASB issued Financial
Interpretation Number (FIN) 45, Guarantors Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others. The interpretation requires disclosure about the nature and
terms of obligations under certain guarantees that the Company has issued. The interpretation also clarifies that a guarantor is required to recognize, at inception of a guarantee, a liability for the fair value of the obligation undertaken in
issuing a guarantee. The initial recognition and initial measurement provisions are applicable on a prospective basis to guarantees issued or modified after December 31, 2002. The disclosure requirements in this interpretation are effective
immediately. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of FIN 45.



In December 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 148, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation and Disclosurean amendment of FASB Statement No. 123. This statement amends SFAS No. 123, Accounting for
Stock-Based compensation, to provide alternative transition methods for a voluntary change to fair value accounting for stock-based employee compensation. In addition, this Statement amends the disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 123 to
require more prominent disclosures in both annual and interim financial statements about the method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation and the effect of the method used on reported results. The Company has elected to continue the
use of the intrinsic value method for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2002 but has adopted the prominent disclosure provisions.



|4. |  | DIVESTITURES AND ABANDONMENTS
|-- |  | -----------------------------



On March 19, 2002, AHL sold its UK specialized staffing services business for $29.5 million in cash. Net of transaction costs of $2.7
million, the sale yielded $26.8 million of proceeds, which were used to reduce outstanding debt. AHL recorded a charge of $9.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2001 to reduce the net assets of the UK business to their net realizable value. The
remaining net assets of discontinued operations of $1.5 million at December 31, 2002 include approximately $0.9 million for an income tax refund receivable and $1.1 million of an escrow relating to the sale proceeds, net of $0.5 million of accrued
liabilities relating primarily to the remaining lease costs associated with the vacated UK administrative offices.



On December 29, 2000, AHL sold its US and European aviation and facility services businesses for $185 million in cash to Securicor
plc. (Securicor), a business services company headquartered in the United Kingdom. The sale resulted in a gain of $50.0 million, net of taxes of $30.1 million, on a net book value of assets and liabilities of $82.7 million, less disposal
and transaction costs of $12.2 million and less a reserve for the possible downward purchase price adjustment of $10.0 million. Net after-tax proceeds were used to reduce debt.

##### Table of Contents

The sales price for the US and European aviation and facilities services businesses was subject to post-closing adjustments based upon the
2001 actual performance of the businesses and a reconciliation of actual closing-date working capital to a target level of working capital.



On April 12, 2002, AHL entered into a definitive settlement agreement with Securicor pursuant to which AHL agreed to pay Securicor $13.0
million with respect to the amount of the adjustments to the purchase price. Securicor also released the Company from all pending and potential indemnity claims related to the sale of the US and European aviation and facility services businesses. In
connection with the settlement, AHL agreed to pay Mr. Frank Argenbright, the Chairman of AHLs board of directors, $5.0 million to induce him to release certain claims he had asserted against Securicor in connection with his employment by
Securicor. Securicor conditioned its agreement to the settlement upon a release of such claims.



AHLs obligation to pay Securicor the $13.0 million settlement payment is evidenced by two secured, subordinated promissory notes in the amounts of $10.0 million and $3.0 million. The
Companys obligation to pay the $13.0 million settlement payment matures in two installments. The first installment, in the amount of $9.0 million, matures on April 12, 2003; the remaining installment of $4.0 million matures on October 12,
2003. AHL may prepay the notes at any time without premium or penalty. The notes are secured by a second lien on substantially all of the Companys assets. AHLs obligation to pay the settlement amount, and the lien securing its
obligation, is subordinate to its obligation to pay all amounts outstanding or due pursuant to its existing Credit Facility (the Credit Facility) and any substitute or replacement senior secured bank credit arrangement. The notes bear
interest at a rate of 7% per annum. Interest on the notes will accrue and be added to the principal until the Company repays or refinances the amounts outstanding under its Credit Facility, at which time interest on the notes will be payable
quarterly. AHLs obligation to pay Mr. Argenbright $5.0 million is unsecured and does not bear interest. The obligation matures on October 12, 2003. However, the Company is not permitted to pay Mr. Argenbright the principal amount of the
obligations prior to its repayment in full of all amounts outstanding under the Credit Facility and the termination of the Credit Facility and its payment in full of all amounts owing to Securicor. In the fourth quarter of 2001, the Company recorded
an additional reserve of $5.2 million to accrue to the final settlement which was then the subject of an agreement in principle with Securicor. In 2001 AHL also expensed $4.3 million for various costs related to the sale, including $2.0 million paid
to Mr. Argenbright in satisfaction and termination of his performance bonus agreement, $1.0 million in estimated legal fees and $1.3 million in working capital adjustments. AHL recorded a tax benefit of ($1.0) million.



On October 13, 2000, AHL sold the assets of its US specialized
staffing business to an investor group led by the former President of AHLs Baltimore staffing operation for $22.5 million, which included notes receivable from the purchaser of $9.5 million, resulting in a loss of $1.7 million, net of tax
benefit of ($1.2) million. Due to the economic downturn affecting the US specialized staffing industry, in 2001 the Company adjusted the net carrying value of the notes receivable balance to $5.0 million, taking an additional charge of $3.7 million
recorded in corporate general and administrative expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. In 2002, the notes receivable were sold for $3.5 million, resulting in an additional $1.5 million loss recorded as other expense in
the second quarter.



In accordance with the
provisions of APB No. 30, the Company has reflected the results of its US and European aviation and facility services businesses and its US and UK specialized staffing businesses as discontinued operations in the accompanying consolidated balance
sheets and statements of operations and cash flows. For all periods presented, this presentation reflects the net assets of these operations segregated from the assets and liabilities of continuing operations, and the earnings of these businesses
segregated from the results of continuing operations.



It is the Companys policy to allocate interest expense to discontinued operations in accordance with EITF 87-24, which generally requires an allocation based on the net assets of the discontinued operations relative to the
total net assets plus debt of the consolidated company. Interest allocated to discontinued operations was $0.1 million, $1.0 million and $11.7 million for fiscal 2002, 2001 and 2000, respectively. Income (loss) from

discontinued operations of $0.1 million, ($17.8) million and $49.9 million for fiscal 2002, 2001 and 2000 respectively, are net of income tax
provision (benefit) of ($2.0) million, ($0.1) million and $29.4 million, for fiscal 2002, 2001 and 2000, respectively.



On December 28, 2000, AHL made the decision to abandon operations of its store set-up business unit, formerly called PIMMS. A
comprehensive strategic review of the unprofitable store set-up business indicated that the business did not meet criteria for continued investment. The store set-up business had become more project-driven than anticipated with increasing surge
capacity requirements and difficulties in forecasting utilization rates. To become a profitable business would have required significant additional investment to develop geographic density and maintain a national infrastructure. As a result of this
decision to abandon the PIMMS business, the Company recorded a $60.1 million impairment of goodwill. AHL completed the closing of the PIMMS business unit on March 16, 2001. The results of the PIMMS business are reflected within continuing operations
from the date of acquisition, April 30, 1999, through the closing date in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.



|5. |  | RESTRUCTURING CHARGES
|-- |  | ---------------------



Due to the difficult economic environment, the Company performed a strategic review of marketing support services operations and recorded
restructuring charges to operations of $7.9 million during the third and fourth quarters of 2001. Restructuring charges to operating expenses totaled $4.6 million and consisted of $4.2 million for the estimated costs of buying out unattractive or
redundant leases and $0.4 million for severance for 66 employees. Restructuring charges to corporate general and administrative expenses totaled $3.3 million and included lease charges incurred in conjunction with the closing of the Atlanta
corporate offices of $0.8 million and $2.5 million for severance for twelve employees.



On December 28, 2000, AHL made the decision to abandon operations of its store set-up business unit, formerly called PIMMS. As a result of this decision, the Company recorded restructuring charges of
$2.8 million in fiscal 2000 related to the abandonment, including severance costs of $2.0 million and the accrual for lease termination costs for the PIMMS facility of $0.8 million. The Company completed the closing of the PIMMS business unit on
March 16, 2001, and recorded a final charge for the related severance expense for 188 employees of approximately $2.5 million in 2001.



During 2002, the favorable settlements on facility and lease terminations resulted in a reversal of $0.9 million of the reserve.



The restructuring charges are recorded in
accordance with EITF No. 94-3, Liability Recognition for Costs to Exit an Activity (including Certain Costs Incurred in a Restructuring). The following table summarizes the activity in the restructuring liability accounts for the years
ended December 31, 2002 and 2001:

The
Company has established a valuation allowance of $62.2 million and $15.2 million at December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively, to reserve for 100% of the net deferred tax assets in 2002 and 2001, resulting in a consolidated net deferred tax liability
for 2001. The valuation allowance was established due to the uncertainty regarding the realization of these assets.



As a result of passage of the Job Creation and Worker Assistance Act of 2002, at December 31, 2002, the Company has federal general
business credit carryforwards available of approximately $2.1 million, which begin to expire in 2018, and foreign tax credit carryforwards available of approximately $9.5 million, which expire in 2006. The Company also has net operating loss
carryforwards available of approximately $94.3 million, which expire in 2022. The utilization of these carryforwards is dependent upon the Companys ability to generate sufficient taxable income and/or foreign source income during the
carryforward periods, and are subject to limitations imposed under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code.

Company obtains its working capital from borrowings pursuant to a Credit Facility with a syndicate of commercial banks. Wachovia Bank, National Association is the Administrative Agent for the lenders. The Companys borrowings under the Credit
Facility are secured by a lien on substantially all of its assets and the assets of its operating subsidiaries.



The Company was not in compliance with certain of its covenants as of December 31, 2001, and received a waiver from its bank group with
respect to the non-compliance with these covenants for the periods of November 9, 2001 through April 15, 2002. On April 12, 2002, AHL reached an agreement with its banks to amend the facility. The amendment eliminated the defaults, extended the
maturity of the Credit Facility from April 15, 2002 to January 3, 2003, reduced the amount the Company is permitted to borrow, increased the interest rates on the Credit Facility and modified the financial covenants. Under the amended agreement, at
April 12, 2002, the Company was permitted to borrow up to $89.3 million. The Company subsequently entered into additional amendments to the Credit Facility. Under the amendments, AHL is permitted to borrow up to $82.0 million. On March 28,
2003, in connection with the proposed merger, AHL obtained the consent of its senior secured lenders to further extend the maturity date under its credit agreement, which was scheduled to expire on March 31, 2003. As extended, the Credit Facility
will expire on August 29, 2003, unless the proposed merger with CGW is cancelled, in which event it will expire on the date the proposed merger is cancelled.



Under the Credit Facility, AHL is required to satisfy covenants relating to minimum consolidated adjusted EBITDA, fixed charge coverage
ratios and limitations on capital expenditures, among others. The Company has monthly targets for each financial covenant that it must meet. If the Company fails to comply with the covenants, it will be in default. Upon the occurrence of a default,
unless the lenders grant a further waiver, the Company will not be permitted to borrow additional amounts under the Credit Facility, and the outstanding amounts will become immediately due and payable. The Credit Facility also prohibits the Company
from paying dividends to shareholders. The Company entered into subsequent amendments to its Credit Facility and has such satisfied all covenant requirements at December 31, 2002.



In connection with the proposed merger, CGW is expected to obtain new financing arrangements to fund
AHLs operations following the proposed merger. The existing Credit Facility will be repaid with proceeds from the new financing and then terminated. If the proposed merger is not consummated for any reason, the Credit Facility will expire on
the date the proposed merger is cancelled. If the proposed merger is cancelled, management would attempt to negotiate with its lenders to extend the maturity of its debt and undertake additional efforts to raise capital and reduce costs. However,
there can be no assurance that such negotiations, if required, will be successful. AHL also cannot provide assurance that it will be able to obtain any replacement credit facility or that other sources of liquidity will be available to AHL if the
proposed merger is not completed and its Credit Facility is cancelled.



At December 31, 2002, $72.5 million was outstanding, (with approximately $25.9 million denominated in Euros) and $2.1 million was utilized under standby letters of credit.

Of the $72.5
million in aggregate commitments, the US dollar equivalent of $25.9 million is available in certain foreign currencies. At December 31, 2002, the interest rate under the Credit Facility is based, at the Companys option, upon LIBOR plus an
applicable margin, the domestic base rate plus an applicable margin (in the case of United States dollar borrowings) or the foreign base rate plus an applicable margin (in the case of borrowings denominated in pounds sterling or Euros/German marks).
The domestic base rate is the greater of the rate publicly announced by Wachovia National Bank as its prime rate or the federal funds rate plus 50 basis points. The foreign base rate is the domestic prime rate. The applicable margin for LIBOR
borrowings is based on a matrix ranging from 137.5 basis points to 212.5 basis points, based on the ratio of the Companys most recently reported total indebtedness to pro forma adjusted EBITDA.



|8. |  | STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
|-- |  | ------------------------



In October 1996, the Company issued nonqualified stock options to purchase 107,500 shares of common stock at $4.64 per share to a former
officer. The options became exercisable upon grant. Pursuant to the former officers severance agreement, these options will expire December 2004.



In December 1996 and February 1997, the Company issued nonqualified stock options to purchase 591,250 and 16,250 shares of common stock,
respectively, to three former officers. At December 31, 2002, a total of 222,500 of these options, with an exercise price of $10.00 per share, are exercisable and remain outstanding. These options expire December 2004.



STOCK OPTION PLAN



The Companys stock option plan (the Plan)
provides for the award of incentive stock options to officers and employees of the Company and nonqualified stock options to officers, employees and independent directors of the Company. In February 1997, the Company reserved 385,000 shares of
common stock for issuance under the Plan. The Company expanded the Plan in May 1998 by approving the reservation of 3,115,000 additional shares. In October 2001, the Company reserved an additional 1,000,000 shares for issuance under the Plan. As of
December 31, 2002, 1,919,050 options to purchase common stock were reserved under the Plan. The Plan is administered by the compensation committee of the board of directors. The purchase price of common stock upon grant of stock options must not be
less than the fair market value of the common stock on the date of grant. The maximum term of any stock option is 10 years. The aggregate fair market value on the date of the grant of the stock for which stock options are exercisable for the first
time by an employee during any calendar year may not exceed $100,000. Options are exercisable over a period of time in accordance with the terms of option agreements entered into at the time of grant. Options granted under the Plan are generally
nontransferable by the optionee and, unless otherwise determined by the compensation committee, must be exercised by the optionee during the period of the optionees employment or service with the Company.



During 2001, the Company filed a tender offer statement
whereby certain employees were offered the opportunity to exchange their existing options to purchase shares of common stock as granted under the Plan for new options to be granted under the Plan on or after July 1, 2002. The number of shares
granted to employees was equal to the number of shares exchanged by the option holder. The exercise price of the new option was equal to the closing sale price of common stock as reported on the replacement grant date, or $5.00, whichever was
greater. Under this program, options for the purchase of 185,000 shares of common stock were issued at an exercise price of $5.00 per share on July 10, 2002. Directors and Officers of the Company at the time of the filing of the tender offer were
not eligible to participate in the exchange.

|9. |  | EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS
|-- |  | ----------------------



EMPLOYEE STOCK PURCHASE PLAN



The Company adopted, effective July 29, 1997, an employee stock purchase plan. Effective April 1, 1999 the plan was amended and restated.
The plan permits employees to purchase shares of common stock at a price equal to 90% of the purchase price on the date of purchase. The Company has historically purchased such shares of common stock on the open market.



DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLAN



The Company has a nonqualified deferred compensation plan
covering management and highly compensated employees. The plan allows participants to defer a portion of their annual compensation, with a minimum requirement of $1,000 but not to exceed 35% of compensation, to the plan. The plan allows the Company
to make discretionary matching contributions to the plan; employees vest ratably over five years on all

matching contributions. Employees may elect to have deferrals made to either a retirement, education or fixed plan account. The Company has
never made a matching contribution to this plan. Approximately $332,000 and $353,000 related to this plan is included in other non current assets, with the related liability in other non current liabilities at December 31, 2002 and 2001,
respectively, in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.



In conjunction with the Companys acquisition of Gage Marketing Services in 1998, the Company also acquired the liabilities related to its deferred compensation plan. As of December 31, 2002, only two employees remain covered
under this plan. Approximately $133,000 and $185,000 is included in other non current liabilities at December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively, in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.



401(K) PLAN



The Company has a 401(k) plan offered to all employees who
meet the age and service requirements. New employees may participate in the plan after three months of employment. The plan requires the Company to match a certain percentage of the amounts contributed by the employees. Employees are eligible for
the Company match after one year of employment. The Company expensed $468,000, $840,000 and $764,000 for the employer match for the years ended December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000, respectively.



|10. |  | COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

LEASES



The Company leases office and warehouse space and equipment under lease agreements expiring through October 2016. Rental expense under
these operating leases was $13.6 million, $13.1 million and $11.7 million in fiscal 2002, 2001 and 2000, respectively.



The lease on the former executive headquarters in Atlanta, Georgia expires June 2003; effective March 2002, the Company negotiated a
sublease with a third party for the lease term. At December 31, 2002, AHL had reserved $35,000 for the lease costs on the remaining term of the lease. Funds received for the sublease of the headquarters in 2003 will be used to reduce rent expense
for the period.



Future minimum lease payments
for noncancelable leases were as follows at December 31, 2002:

INSURANCE



The Company participates in partially
self-insured, high-deductible workers compensation and auto insurance plans for its US operations. Exposure is limited per occurrence ($250,000 for workers compensation and auto liability claims) and in the aggregate. In addition, the
Company is partially self-insured for health claims for certain US employees. Reserves are estimated for both reported and unreported claims. Revisions to estimated reserves are recorded in the periods in which they become known. Estimated
self-insurance reserves for workers compensation and auto liability claims as of December 31, 2002 and 2001, totaling $1.7 million and $3.0 million, respectively, represent managements best estimate. While there can be no assurance that
actual future claims will not exceed the amount of the Companys reserves, in the opinion of the Companys management, any future adjustments to estimated reserves included in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets will not have a
material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

##### Table of Contents



The Company is
exposed to liability for the acts or negligence of its employees. The Company has policies, guidelines and insurance to reduce its exposure to these risks.



LITIGATION, DISPUTES AND CLAIMS



The Company is involved in various routine litigation, disputes and claims arising in the ordinary course of business, primarily related
to employee and customer contract issues. While unfavorable outcomes are possible, management is of the opinion that the resolution of these matters will not have a material effect on the results of operations or financial condition of the Company.



CONTRACTUAL COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH PROPOSED MERGER



In connection with the proposed merger, the
Company entered into a conditional amendment, dated March 28, 2003, to its chief executive officers employment agreement. According to the conditional amendment, if the proposed merger is consummated, the chief executive officer will be
entitled to receive 1,900,000 restricted shares of AHLs newly-created Series B participating preferred stock in lieu of the lump-sum cash payment of $2,500,000 which would be due to the officer upon a change in control of AHL.



The Company entered into an employment agreement with its
chief financial officer on April 1, 2002 which, upon a change of control before April 1, 2004, provides for a lump-sum payment of $500,000, which would be reduced to $250,000 if a change of control occurs after this date.



In addition to these costs, the Company has contracted for and
expects to incur other customary costs associated with the proposed merger, such as financial adviser and fairness valuation services.



|11. |  | RELATED-PARTY TRANSACTIONS
|--- |  | --------------------------



In connection with the Companys settlement agreement with Securicor over the sale of its US and European aviation and facility
services businesses, Securicor required that AHL pay $5 million to AHLs Chairman of the board of directors, Frank Argenbright Jr., to induce him to release certain claims he had asserted against Securicor in connection with his employment by
Securicor. Securicor conditioned its agreement to the settlement upon a release of such claims. The payment is due October 12, 2003. In addition, upon the cessation of Mr. Argenbrights employment with AHL in 2001, the Company paid $2.0 million
to Mr. Argenbright in satisfaction and termination of his performance bonus agreement. In September 2001, in connection with the satisfaction and termination of the Performance Bonus Program approved by AHLs shareholders in May 2001, AHL
agreed to guarantee up to $10,000,000 of Mr. Argenbrights personal debt for a period of three years from the date of the sale of AHLs European staffing business or such earlier time as allowed by the Companys Credit Facility with
such guaranty subject to approval by the holders of the Credit Facility. In connection with the proposed merger, the Company entered into an agreement with Mr. Argenbright, dated March 28, 2003, pursuant to which it may elect to terminate its
obligation to guarantee Mr. Argenbrights personal indebtedness at any time in return for a payment to Mr. Argenbright of $2,000,000.



Effective September 2002, AHL entered into an agreement with a third party and Air Serv Corporation, (Air Serv), a corporation owned
by Mr. Argenbright and another director of AHL, to sublet its courtside suite at the Philips Arena through the remaining lease term of August 2004. Air Serv and the third party have agreed to pay 50% of the remaining lease payments under the lease
agreement, or approximately $108,000, in exchange for 100% access to the suite. These payments will reduce AHLs future lease expense.



At December 31, 2002, AHL holds a receivable from Mr. Argenbright for approximately $24,000 relating to employee wages and benefits paid
by AHL, on Mr. Argenbrights behalf, to an employee who, in 2001, was working jointly for AHL and Mr. Argenbright personally. The receivable is included in accounts receivable in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.



In the normal course of business, the Company records revenues
from a customer that is controlled by a former member of the board of directors of the Company. Approximately $480,000 and $189,000 were due from

this customer as of December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively, and revenues recognized from this customer for the years ended December 31,
2002, 2001 and 2000, totaled $1.1 million, $0.7 million and $1.4 million, respectively.



|12. |  | SEGMENT REPORTING
|--- |  | -----------------



Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise about which separate financial information is available that is evaluated
regularly by the chief operating decision maker in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. The Companys chief operating decision maker is its senior management team. The Companys business is organized into two
distinct operating segments, which have separate management structures, which then report to the Companys senior level executives. A brief summary of these segments is as follows:



| |  |  | Marketing support services include consumer and trade promotion and fulfillment and retail merchandising;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | German specialized staffing services provide electricians, welders, plumbers, customer service representatives, and industrial workers for clients.
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



The Companys corporate
offices provide executive management functions such as treasury, finance and legal, which are not included in the operating segments measure of operating income.

|(1) |  | Amounts presented above, other than those for Net income (loss) and Basic and diluted net income (loss) per share differ from amounts
previously reported on Forms 10-Q for the respective periods due to the reclassification of the results of operations of the German specialized staffing business from discontinued operations to continuing operations.
|--- |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|(2) |  | Net loss for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2001 has been adjusted to include approximately $1.7 million in charges arising from accounting errors in
the calculation of certain reserves and foreign currency translation adjustments. See note 2 to the consolidated financial statements.
|--- |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|(3) |  | The cumulative effect of change in accounting policy reflects the Companys adoption of SFAS No. 142 in the second quarter of 2002, effective January 1, 2002.
As a result of this cumulative adoption, previously reported net loss and net loss per share for the first quarter of 2002 differ from the results presented in the table above.
|--- |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|(4) |  | Loss from continuing operations for the quarters ended June 30, 2002 and December 31, 2002 include impairment charges against goodwill of $4.2 million and $45.1
million, respectively.

|(5) |  | The total of the four quarterly amounts for net earnings (loss) per share may not equal the net earnings (loss) per share for the year ended. Differences result from
the use of a weighted average to compute the number of shares outstanding for each quarter and for the year.

|14. |  | SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
|--- |  | -----------------



On March 31, 2003, AHL announced that an affiliate (the Purchaser) of CGW Southeast Partners IV, L.P. (CGW), a
private equity firm specializing in middle-market investments, and certain AHL officers, directors and shareholders (the Continuing Shareholders) have agreed to acquire the outstanding shares of AHL not already held by CGW and the
Continuing Shareholders through a proposed merger of AHL and the Purchaser (the proposed merger). The proposed merger, if completed, would constitute a going private transaction and would result in AHL no longer being publicly traded and
no longer filing annual, quarterly, and current reports with the SEC. In the proposed merger, holders of AHLs common stock at the time of the proposed merger, other than Frank A. Argenbright, Jr., our Chairman, Kathleen B. Argenbright,
Argenbright Partners, L.P., Francis A. Argenbright, Jr. Charitable Remainder Trust, A. Clayton Perfall, our chief executive officer, and Caledonia Investments plc, each of whom is a Continuing Shareholder, will receive $1.50 in cash for each share
of AHL common stock held by such shareholder immediately prior to the proposed merger. Each share of AHL common stock held by the Continuing Shareholders will be converted into 1.5 shares of AHLs newly-created Series B participating preferred
stock. Following the transaction, the Continuing Shareholders will maintain an approximate 40% equity interest in AHL, and CGW will own the remaining equity interest of approximately 60%. The proposed merger is expected to be completed in the third
quarter of fiscal year 2003. The transaction is subject to the approval by the holders of a majority of AHLs outstanding common stock, as well as the approval of a majority of the shares of AHL common stock not held by the Continuing
Shareholders. It is also subject to CGW obtaining necessary financing and other customary closing conditions.



In addition, in connection with the proposed merger, AHL obtained the consent of its senior secured lenders to further extend the maturity
date under its credit agreement, which was scheduled to expire on March 31, 2003. As extended, the credit agreement will expire on August 29, 2003, unless the proposed merger is cancelled, in which event it will expire on the date the proposed
merger is cancelled.
