	2.2.	 	Scope of consolidation

Major changes to the scope of
consolidation during the period were as
follows:

	2.2.1.	 	Acquisitions

January 2002 Atos Origin increased its
interest in Atos Odyssée from 86% to 93%
in accordance with the progressive stock
purchase agreement. This additional
interest was purchased for a consideration
of EUR 2.2 million. Atos Odyssée is a
French company included in the Consulting
Division.

January/May 2002 following on from the
contract signed in October 2001 with KPN
Group, acquisition of the entire common
stock of KPN End User Services, fully
consolidated since January 1st, 2002 at a
value of EUR 11.5 million.

January/June 2002 acquisition of the
entire common stock of the French
company Idée Industrie Services (2IS),
fully consolidated since January 1st, 2002 at a value of EUR 2.7 million. As a
result of the acquisition of this
company, which holds a 34% stake in A2B,
Atos Origin increased its interest in
this latter from 51% to 66%.

August 2002 acquisition of the entire
common stock of KPMG Consulting in the
United Kingdom and in The Netherlands,
fully consolidated since September 1st, 2002. In consideration for the acquisition
of KPMG Consulting in the United Kingdom
and The Netherlands, Atos Origin issued
3,657,000 bonds redeemable in Atos Origin
shares (ORA bonds) at a price of EUR 64.2
each, representing a total of EUR 235
million. The ORA bonds will be redeemed
automatically, irrevocably and fully in
shares, on August 16th, 2003 at a rate of one new Atos Origin
share for one ORA bond. Given their terms, the ORA bonds are
included in other shareholder’s equity. In
addition, Atos Origin made a cash payment
of EUR 417 million and the total
transaction value reached EUR 660 million,
after inclusion of acquisition costs of EUR
8 million, net of tax.

September 2002 following on from the
contract signed in October 2001 with KPN
Group, acquisition of the Dutch company
KPN Software House renamed Atos Origin
Telecom Software for a consideration of
EUR 31.9 million and fully consolidated
from September 1st, 2002.

	2.2.2.	 	Disposals

January 2002 the Group disposed of its 35%
interest in TIS & Origin Consulting (Japan — System Integration). This disposal does
not impact Group Revenue as this company
was equity accounted in 2001.

	2.3.	 	Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
	 
	2.3.1.	 	Accounting Policies

With effect from January
1st, 2001, the
consolidated financial statements have
been prepared in accordance with the ‘new
accounting rules and methods applicable to
consolidated financial statements’
approved by the Order of June 22nd, 1999,
implementing the Accounting Standards
Committee Regulation CRC 99-02.

 

ATOS ORIGIN ANNUAL REPORT 2002 29

 

 

	 	 	 
	2   ANNUAL REPORT	 	
> FINANCIAL REPORT

These accounting policies do not differ
from those previously adopted by the Group
and detailed in the Notes to the
consolidated financial statements
presented in the 2000 Annual Report.

In accordance with the option offered by
Regulation 99-02, Atos Origin has not
retroactively adjusted investment and
divestment transactions performed prior to
January 1st, 2001.

With effect from January
1st, 2002, the
Group adopted CRC Regulation 00-06
regarding liabilities. Application of
this regulation has no impact on
opening shareholders’ equity.

As part of the preparation of the
consolidated financial statements, Atos
Origin has aligned itself with the
provisions of certain standards
established by the IASC with respect to
measurement and recognition.

In particular, Atos Origin has aligned
itself with the measures prescribed for
the recognition of revenue from services
involving fixed price contracts based on
the percentage of completion method (IAS
11), the determination of income taxes
(IAS12) the recording of property, plant
and equipment (IAS 16) and leases (IAS
17), the measurement and recognition of
employee benefits (IAS 19), the effects of
changes in foreign exchange rates (IAS
21), the impairment of assets (IAS 36) and
the recognition of provisions, contingent
liabilities and contingent assets (IAS
37).

	2.3.2.	 	Consolidation rules

a. Methods of consolidation

The financial statements of companies over
which Atos Origin (hereinafter referred to
as ‘the Company’) exercises exclusive
control, whether directly or indirectly,
are fully consolidated.

The financial statements of companies in
which voting rights are split between the
Company and another shareholder are
consolidated as follows:

	•	 	companies over
which the Company has effective control of
their business operations are fully
consolidated;
	 
	•	 	companies over which the
Company exercises significant influence
are accounted for using the equity method.
Significant influence is assumed to exist
where more than 20% of voting rights are
held.

b. Basis of consolidation

All companies are consolidated on the
basis of financial statements or
accounts drawn up to December 31st and
adjusted, where necessary, in
accordance with Group accounting
policies.

c. Foreign companies

The balance sheets of subsidiaries, which
do not use the single European currency,
are translated into euros at
year-end rates of exchange and their
income statements are translated at
average exchange rates for the year. The
impact of exchange rate movements on the
balance sheet and net income for the year
is taken to shareholders’ equity under
‘Translation adjustments’ (IAS21).

d. Review of the value in use of long-term assets

Long-term assets (property, plant and
equipment, intangible assets and
goodwill) are adjusted to their value in
use when significant adverse changes are
identified indicating that the value in
use of an asset appears to be lower than
its net carrying amount on a long-term
basis.

The value in use is reviewed for each
asset category by taking into account the
Group expectations in terms of economic
and operational trends relating to the use
of the assets concerned. When an
impairment appears necessary, the amount
recognized is equal to the difference
between the net carrying amount and the
value in use.

The value in use is determined by
referring to discounted future cash
flows, market prices and replacement
costs for the used equipment.

For goodwill, the value in use takes into
account, in addition to future economic
benefits, the benefits expected from the
acquisition, such as the synergies
resulting from the integration of the
acquired enterprise with the Group’s
activities and the enterprise’s strategic
value for the Group.

The Group is thus in line with the
measures of IAS 36, which inspired CNC
opinion 2002-07 regarding asset
depreciation and impairment.

e. Goodwill

Goodwill represents that portion of the
difference between the cost of an
investment and the Group’s share in the
adjusted net assets of the company
acquired as of the date of acquisition,
not allocated to fair value adjustments.

Goodwill is amortized on a straight-line
basis over the estimated period of benefit,
not exceeding 20 years.

Origin Goodwill

Atos signed a Transfer and Subscription
Agreement on August 27th, 2000 under which
Royal Philips Electronics transferred
98.2% of Origin common stock to Atos, in
consideration for the issue of 19,532,732
Atos shares and 2,387,836 Atos shares each
with two stock subscription warrants
attached (ABSA). The ABSA were divided
immediately after issue into 2,387,836
shares and 4,775,672 stock subscription
warrants. As of December 31st, 2002, only
the second tranche of stock subscription
warrants (2,387,836 warrants) remained in
circulation. The resulting goodwill was
deducted from additional paid-in capital
recognized at the time of the transfer, up
to the

 

30 ATOS ORIGIN ANNUAL REPORT 2002

 

 

	 	 	 
	> FINANCIAL REPORT	 	
ANNUAL REPORT   2

amount thereof, in accordance with COB
monthly bulletin no. 210 of January 1988.
The residual balance was recorded in
assets in the consolidated balance sheet.

Notional annual amortization of EUR 9.0
million would have been recorded in
respect of the Origin goodwill had this
not been partially offset against
additional paid-in capital in fiscal year
2000.

Atos KPMG Consulting goodwill

On August 16th, 2002, Atos Origin
purchased the entire common stock of Atos
KPMG Consulting in the United Kingdom and
The Netherlands. This acquisition was
remunerated by the issue of 3,657,000
bonds redeemable in shares (ORA bonds)
with stock subscription warrants attached
at a price of EUR 64.20 each, representing
a total amount of EUR 235 million, and a
cash payment of EUR 417 million.

Pursuant to Article 210 of CRC Regulation
99-02, the acquisition cost of the KPMG
Consulting in the United Kingdom and The
Netherlands securities is equal, at the
date on which control becomes effective,
to the fair value of securities issued.
The fair value of the ORA bonds presented
in consideration was determined using a
multi-criteria approach taking into
account the stock market price of the Atos
Origin share and the transaction value set
by the parties. This method produced a
value of EUR 64.20 per share, or a total
value for the ORA bonds of EUR 235
million.

The stock subscription warrants attached
to the shares underpin the earn-out clause
granted in favor of the Atos KPMG
Consulting partners in the United Kingdom
and The Netherlands.

The stock subscription warrants detached
from the ORA bonds represent an additional
component of the purchase price for the
Atos KPMG consulting activity, payable
solely on the realization of certain
activity results (earn-out clause). These
stock subscription warrants may only be
exercised if revenue and profitability
objectives of the activities purchased are
realized.

Atos Origin has not recorded the stock
subscription warrants in its balance sheet
and will treat them as an off-balance
sheet commitment until their exercise
date.

Given the recent nature of the transaction
and the expected benefits of the
acquisition, such as synergies resulting
from the integration of purchased
activities with those of the Group, and the
quality, importance and competitive
positioning of these activities, it was not
considered necessary to perform an
impairment test leading to a reduction in
the net book value of assets allocated to
these activities.

f. Effective date of acquisitions and disposals

Net income of companies acquired or sold
during the course of the fiscal year is
recorded in the consolidated
income statement with effect from the
date control is acquired or up to the
date of disposal respectively.

g. Research and development expenditure

Research and development expenditure in
respect of specific applications or
products is expensed in the period
incurred.

h. Other intangible fixed assets

Other intangible fixed assets primarily
comprise software acquired by the Group
and amortized on a straight-line basis
over periods specific to each acquisition,
subject to a maximum of five years. The
cost of software developed for internal or
commercial use is generally expensed in
the period incurred.

It may however be capitalized within
intangible fixed assets where the
following conditions are satisfied:

	•	 	the
project is clearly identified and the
corresponding costs are itemized and
monitored in a reliable manner;
	 
	•	 	the
technical design feasibility of the
software is demonstrated;
	 
	•	 	the Group
intends to produce, commercialize or use
the software internally;
	 
	•	 	a potential
market exists for software intended for
rental, sale or marketing in any other
form and the utility of the software to
the Group has been approved in the case of
internal use;
	 
	•	 	sufficient resources exist
to carry the project through to
commercialization or internal use;
	 
	•	 	the
Group possesses the management and
monitoring tools necessary to satisfy
these conditions.

Only costs incurred during the software
production phase are capitalized, with
costs incurred during design, user
configuration and follow-up phases
expensed in the period.

The Group holds a number of patents but
has not granted any licenses in respect
thereof. The Group incurs license fees in
respect of licenses granted to it. These
fees are recorded in the Income statement
under Operating costs and expenses.

i. Tangible fixed assets

Tangible fixed assets are recorded at
acquisition cost net of any interest
expenses. They are depreciated on a
straight-line or reducing-balance basis
over the following expected useful lives:

	 	 	 
	- Buildings	 	
20 years
	- Fixtures and fittings	 	
5 to 10 years
	- Computer hardware

balance sheet. The accounting policy
adopted by the Group is consistent with
IAS 17 ‘Leases’.

j. Investments

Non-consolidated participating
interests are stated at the lower of
acquisition cost and fair value.

Fair value corresponds to fair value to
the Group, taking into account the
Group’s share in adjusted net worth and
the future profitability prospects of the
Company. A provision for impairment is
recorded where the fair value of an
investment falls below its acquisition
cost.

k. Treasury stock

The Atos Origin shares held by the
parent company are charged against
consolidated shareholders’ equity.

The accounting treatment for these
shares is attributable to the purpose of
their holding.

In the event of a disposal, the gain
or loss and the corresponding tax
impact are recorded in changes in
consolidated shareholders’ equity.

l. Operating Receivables

Operating receivables are recorded at
nominal value. They are assessed
individually and, where appropriate, a
provision is raised to take likely
recovery problems into account.

m. Transferable securities

Transferable securities are recorded in
the balance sheet at the lower of
acquisition cost and market value.

For listed securities, market value is
equal to the stock market price at the
fiscal year-end. SICAV units are recorded
at net asset value. Unrealized capital
gains are not recognized.

n. Provisions for contingencies and losses

Provisions for contingencies and losses
are recognized in compliance with the
rulings of the Comité de la
Réglementation Comptable governing
liabilities (CRC N° 2000-06), whose
application is mandatory for fiscal
years beginning as of January 1st,
2002. This application had no impact on
shareholders’ equity.

The regulation defines a liability as an
element of the asset base with a negative
economic value for the entity, i.e. an
obligation (legal, regulatory, or
contractual) of the entity with respect
to a third party for which an outflow of
resources benefiting this third party is
probable or certain,
without a consideration expected from the
latter that is at least equivalent.

The accounting policy adopted by the Group
is consistent with IAS 37 ‘Provisions,
Contingent Liabilities and Contingent
Assets’.

Atos Origin merger provisions

These provisions concern the Atos Origin
merger and break down as follows:

	•	 	Origin fair value adjustment initially
established to cover long-term commitments
to purchase software licenses for which
there was no corresponding business,
disputes, litigation and claims as well as
previously identified employee-related and
tax contingencies and losses to completion
on fixed-price contracts;
	 
	•	 	provisions for
discontinued operations;
	 
	•	 	provisions for
reorganization (employee costs);
	 
	•	 	provisions for real estate end data center
rationalization (closure of business
sites, regrouping, optimization, etc.).

Other provisions on acquisitions

These provisions concern the acquisition
of KPMG Consulting in the United Kingdom
and The Netherlands and primarily
comprise:

•     provisions for
employee-related restructuring costs;

•
provisions for adjustments to the opening
balance sheet recorded to cover shared
service contractual commitments subscribed
with KPMG International Group without
corresponding resources, due to the
progressive integration of purchased
activities in Atos Origin.

Provisions for retirement benefits and similar commitments

The Group valuation policy for retirement
benefits and similar commitments is in
line with IAS 19.

In accordance with the recommendations
detailed in this standard, a periodic
valuation of these commitments is
performed by independent actuarial
experts using the projected unit credit
method. This actuarial method notably
involves a number of assumptions
regarding employee turnover, salary
increases and the expected future return
on plan assets. The discounted present
value of these commitments is then
calculated using a discount rate taking
account of the financial environment in
the different countries concerned and
multiplied by a coefficient reflecting
the remaining working life of employees
before payment of the benefits provided
by the different regimes.

The assets allocated to finance these
employee commitments are recorded at fair
value and the expected yield on plan assets
is determined taking into account the
make-up of investments. Actuarial
differences resulting from changes in
assumptions, plan amendments or differences
between actual and expected returns on plan
assets, are amortized over the activity
period or the expected remaining life of
beneficiaries, in so far as they exceed the
10% corridor provided for by IAS 19. Where
the value of assets allocated to the
financing of regimes exceeds commitments
(surplus position), the Group applies IAS
19, which seeks to limit the recognition of
prepaid expenses in the balance sheet.
Charges relating to defined benefit plans
are expensed as incurred.

	> FINANCIAL REPORT	 	
ANNUAL REPORT   2

o. Debt issuance costs and bond redemption premiums

Debt issuance costs are included in
deferred charges and released to the
income statement on a straight-line
basis over the life of the loan.

Bonds are recorded in liabilities in an
amount corresponding to the issue proceeds
and a provision raised over the life of
the loan to cover the net-of-tax amount of
the related premiums.

A provision for the redemption premium is
recognized over the life of the loan for
the net-of-tax-amount.

The Group has also decided to adopt the
position expressed by the COB in its 1994
Annual Report and reiterated in its
recommendations for the 2002 year-end
closing, which consists in providing for
all redemption premiums at the closing
from the time the share price falls below
the discounted value of the bond
redemption.

p. Accounting classification of ORA bonds in the consolidated balance sheet

The bonds redeemable in shares (ORA bonds)
issued on the acquisition of KPMG
Consulting in the United Kingdom and The
Netherlands by Atos Origin are recorded in
shareholders’ equity in accordance with
French accounting rules and due,
primarily, to the absence of any
remuneration and the suppression of the
escape clause. On August 16th, 2003,
shares will be automatically and
irrevocably issued to redeem these bonds.

q. Financial Instruments

The Group uses various financial
instruments to hedge against foreign
exchange and interest rate risks. All
hedging instruments are traded with
leading banks.

Foreign exchange risks are hedged using
forward contracts and currency swaps and
interest rate risks using standard
interest rate swap agreements.

Hedging gains and losses are matched
against the loss or gain on the hedged
item.

r. Revenue

Revenue corresponds to the proceeds from
sales of services and equipment carried
out by fully consolidated companies in the
normal course of business. The Group
therefore is in line with IAS 11.

Consulting and Systems Integration Division
revenue from fixed-price contracts is
recognized in line with the technical
completion of projects. When income from
fixed-price contracts to develop individual
applications or integrated systems is
recorded over the course of several fiscal
years, it is recognized using the
percentage completion method. The excess of
costs over billings is recorded in the
balance
sheet under ‘Accounts and notes receivable — trade’ and the excess of billings over costs under ‘Deferred income’.

Managed Services Division revenue is
generally determined based on a
fixed-price and/or a number of IT work
units.

On-line services Division revenue
largely corresponds to transaction
volumes and IT services rendered.

s. Net income on ordinary activities

Net income on ordinary activities
comprises the results of operations and
financing transactions of the various
Group business lines and any write-downs
of non-consolidated participating
interests.

t. Non-recurring items

Non-recurring items include income and
expenses relating to events or operations
clearly outside the ordinary activities of
the Group due to their nature, amount or
unusual occurrence.

u. Corporate Income Tax

The tax charge recorded in the Income
Statement is the total of the current
and deferred tax charge.

The Group accounts for deferred tax using
the liability method on all temporary
differences between the book value and tax
base of assets and liabilities recorded in
the consolidated balance sheet, with the
exception of goodwill and the
undistributed earnings of consolidated
companies. The deferred tax charge is not
discounted to present value. Deferred tax
assets and liabilities are netted off at
taxable entity level.

Deferred tax assets corresponding to
temporary differences and tax loss
carryforwards are recognized in the
accounts and a provision raised where the
likelihood of realization of taxable
profits at tax entity level is considered
low based on available historical and
forecast information. The accounting
policy adopted by the Group is consistent
with IAS 12 ‘Income Taxes’.

v. Earnings per share

Earnings per share (basic and diluted) is
calculated by dividing net income before
or after amortization of goodwill by:

	•	 	the weighted average number of shares in
issue during the period (basic earnings
per share);
	 
	•	 	the weighted average number
of shares in issue during the period, plus
the number of shares that could be issued
as a result of the exercise in full of all
convertible securities outstanding
(diluted earnings per share).

The decrease in the effective Group
tax rate is due to a reduction in the standard tax rates in France and The Netherlands, as well as tax repayments
obtained in 2002 and the location of certain activities in countries benefiting
from lower tax rates than in France.

tax unit by tax unit. in respect of probable future tax savings. Such savings
are restricted to the ability of each tax unit to recover these assets in the
near future. Deferred tax assets are not discounted to present value as the
impact of discounting is not material at individual tax unit level and certain
tax units are unable to produce a reliable reversal schedule. The countries
with the largest tax losses available for carry forward are the United States
(EUR 54.5 million). Germany and Switzerland (EUR 29.1 million) and Brazil (EUR
7.3 million).

In October 1, 2000, the company made a number of fair value accounting
adjustments to the opening balance sheet of Origin. Provisions were charged
against equity to cover long-term software license commitments for which there
was no corresponding business, commercial disputes, litigation and claims as
well as previously identified employee-related and tax contingencies and losses
to completion on fixed-price contracts. These provisions were increased by a
further EUR 15 million in 2001, based on our final assessment of those
contingencies. EUR 69 million was charged against these provisions in the
period. In fiscal 2002 they were utilized in the amount of EUR 15.5 million and
released in the amount of EUR 17.1 million in respect of provisions no longer
required (EUR 6.8 million — nil impact on consolidated net income) and
translation differences (EUR 10.3 million). Provisions of EUR 1.8 million were
transferred to operating liabilities At December 31st, 2002, the majority of
the EUR 41 million balance related to commitments to purchase excess software
licenses over a residual 5-year period and to employee and tax contingencies
yet to be settled.

	(a)	 	Adjustments on goodwill & translation differences.

The merger provisions concern the merger with Origin.

They covered the cost of implementing restructuring plan including significant
staff reductions, the rationalization of premises and data processing
facilities, and discontinuing or disposing of a number of loss-making and
non-core activities. In 2001, EUR 121 million was charged against these
provisions to finance the cost of restructuring in the period, while EUR 14
million of restructuring provisions was accounted for as operating activities
to cover restructuring engaged at the closing 2001 and utilized in 2002. During
2002, EUR 14 million was used and EUR 4 million was recognized in operating
liabilities and will be utilized in the first half of 2003. As at December
31st, 2002, the balance of EUR 6 million covers the restructuring to be carried
out in 2003.

The provisions recorded on the acquisition of KPMG Consulting in The
Netherlands and the United Kingdom cover three types of cost:

	•	 	unused shared
services with KPMG Audit,
	 
	•	 	employee-related costs resulting from economies of
scale between Atos Origin activities in the United Kingdom and Atos KPMG
Consulting,
	 
	•	 	employee-related costs associated with downsizing measures
implemented in respect of identified over-capacity.

These provisions are in line with those identified when the acquisition was
announced.

The operating provisions essentially concern restructuring unrelated to the
Atos Origin merger and the Atos KPMG Consulting acquisition, project
commitments, the convertible bond redemption premiums, and various
contingencies and losses. The increase in operating provisions in fiscal 2002
is mainly due to identified over-capacity. Other provisions remained stable.

The Atos Origin Group offers its employees several post-retirement benefits and
benefits contingent on the accumulation of a number of years service within the
Group. These include defined benefit pension schemes and retirement termination
payments.

The terms and conditions of these
schemes (services. financing and asset
investment policy) vary according to applicable legislation and regulations
within each country.

The EUR 109.4 million provision primarily covers the following countries:

	–	 	The Netherlands,
	 
	–	 	Germany,
	 
	–	 	Italy (Leaving service),
	 
	–	 	France (retirement termination payments).

The largest commitments concern entities located in the United Kingdom and The
Netherlands. where Group employee pensions are primarily assured by separate
legal entity pension funds. jointly administered by employees and management.
Commitments are funded by employer and employee contributions and the return
obtained on plan assets. generally invested in shares and bonds. The solvency
of the fund is monitored by local regulators and is reviewed as part of
periodic actuarial valuations aimed at ensuring that contribution levels are
sufficient to cover services.

Certain other Group entities. primarily in France and Germany. offer
complementary pension schemes aimed at increasing expected services provided by
mandatory schemes. together with retirement termination payments and
long-service bonuses provided for by industry-wide collective bargaining
agreements. The Group took into account the 2002 amendment to the limitations
provided for in IAS 19 on the recognition of prepaid expenses in the balance
sheet, when the value of assets allocated to financing pension regimes
(increased by any unrecognized actuarial losses) exceed pension commitments.

Fixed-rate borrowings primarily consist of convertible bonds and finance lease
contracts.

Floating-rate borrowings primarily consist of the syndicated loan and credit
facilities and overdrafts used occasionally by Group companies.

In line with Group policy of hedging 50% of floating-rate borrowings using
fixed-rate interest swaps, actual fixed-rate borrowings amount to EUR 520
million.

All borrowings are denominated in euros.

Convertible bonds (1999-2004)

In June 1999 Atos carried out a EUR 172.5 million convertible bond issue,
represented by 1,440,501 bonds with a nominal value of EUR 119.8.

The bonds pay interest at 1% per year.

They are redeemable at any time after
October 1st, 2002, at the issuers
initiative, with a redemption premium of EUR 11.60 or on October
1st, 2004 at a
price of EUR 131.4, representing a yield to maturity of 2.75%.

The bonds may be converted at any time
as from July 6th, 1999, on the basis of one share per bond.

Syndicated loan (2002-2007)

On August 6, 2002 Atos Origin secured a syndicated loan for an amount of EUR 800 million, in order to finance:

	•	 	The acquisition of KPMG Consulting in UK and in The Netherlands,
	 
	•	 	The repayment of the syndicated loan, signed in 2001,
	 
	•	 	General company purpose.

The principal characteristics of this syndicated loan are:

	•	 	Tranche A of EUR 475 million, 5 years amortizing,
	 
	•	 	Tranche B of EUR 150 million, 4 years amortizing with one year repayment holiday,
	 
	•	 	Tranche C of EUR 175 million, 3 years revolving credit facility,

 

ATOS ORIGIN ANNUAL REPORT 2002 43

 

 

	 	 	 
	2   ANNUAL REPORT	 	
> FINANCIAL REPORT

As of December 31st, 2002 the loan had
been drawn down in the amount of EUR 625
million, representing the whole of
tranches A and B. Interest rate swaps
fixing the rate payable were entered into
for an amount of EUR 175 million, in
addition to the existing swap contracts
for EUR 163 entered in 2001.

In addition, the Group must comply with
two financial criteria throughout the
term of the loan:

	•	 	Net indebtedness less than
consolidated shareholders’ equity,
Group share,
	 
	•	 	Net indebtedness less than two-times consolidated EBITDA.

The debt-equity ratio as of December
31st, 2002 is 59%, while Net Debt is
1.1 times EBITDA.

k. Financial instruments

1.     Market value of financial instruments

Cash at bank and in hand, short-term
deposits, trade accounts receivable,
bank facilities and trade accounts
payable

Given the short-term nature of these
instruments, the Group considers their
book value to represent a reasonable
approximation of their market value as of
December 31st, 2002.

Medium- and long-term borrowings

The market value of medium- and long-term
borrowings as of December 31st, 2002 is
estimated at EUR 795 million based on:

	•	 	the book value of the syndicated loan,
	 
	•	 	the market value of the convertible bonds.

The net book value of the syndicated loan
and the convertible bonds as of December
31st, 2002 represent an amount of EUR 798
million.

Derivatives

The Group uses standard interest rate swap
contracts entered into with leading banks
in the management of its borrowings. As of
December 31st, 2002, Atos Origin held a
hedge contract in the amount of EUR 338
million, covering that part of the
syndicated loan drawn down at this date.

The average fixed rate of interest
guaranteed by swaps entered into during
fiscal years 2001 and 2002 exceeds that
available on financial markets as of
December 31st, 2002.

The market value of these swaps applied to
the residual term of the contracts would
represent a loss for Atos Origin of EUR
7.3 million as of December 31st, 2002, if
the Group decided to unwind the swaps.
This valuation only concerns derivatives
with a residual period to maturity of more
than 1 year.

	2.	 	Management of counterpart risks

The Group has a strict policy of
analyzing counterpart risks. The Group
manages the counterpart risks relating
to its commercial activities by
maintaining a diversified customer
portfolio and using risk monitoring
instruments.
The Group controls the counterpart risk
relating to its investments and market
transactions by rigorously selecting a
range of leading, diversified bank
counterparts. As such, the Group considers
its exposure to credit risk to be minimal.

	3.	 	Exposure to market risk

Exposure to foreign exchange risk

The Group’s monetary assets comprise loans
and borrowings, transferable securities
and cash at bank and in hand. Monetary
liabilities comprise borrowings, operating
and other liabilities. A large part of
Group commercial and financial
transactions are Euro denominated.

The Group has implemented a foreign
exchange management policy covering
positions resulting from commercial and
financial transactions performed in
currencies other than the Euro. The Group
is primarily exposed to movements in the
GBP and USD. This policy involves the
hedging of all foreign currency invoices
once the transaction commitment becomes
firm. The Group uses forward contracts
and foreign exchange swaps for hedging
purposes.

Exposure to interest rate risk

This encompasses two types of risk:

	•	 	a price risk in risk of fixed-rate
financial assets and liabilities. For
example, by contracting a fixed-rate
liability, the Company is exposed to
opportunity risk should interest rates
fall. A change in interest rates would
impact the market value of fixed-rate
financial assets and liabilities but would
not impact financial income and expenses
and, as such, future net income of the
Company up to maturity of these assets and
liabilities.
	 
	•	 	a cash-flow risk in risk of
floating-rate financial assets and
liabilities. The Group does not believe
that a change in interest rates would have
a material impact on the value of
floating-rate financial assets and
liabilities.

Taking into account hedging instruments
contracted by the Group as of December
31st, 2002, borrowings exposed to
interest rate risk at this date total
EUR 341 million.

An increase in interest rates of
approximately 100 base points would
have increased the 2002 interest
expense by EUR 3.4 million.

If the Group had not contracted these
interest rate hedges, the 2002 interest
expense would have been lower by EUR 1.4
million.

A warranty equal to 15% of the total annual value of the contract. subject to a
maximum annual amount of EUR 13.5 million (EUR 80 million over the term of the
contract) was requested.

The value of the warranty amounted to EUR 51.9 million and EUR 37.9 million as
at December 31st, 2001 and
December 31st, 2002, respectively.

b. Other commitments

Atos Origin undertook to issue common stock on the exercise of the unattached
stock subscription warrants allotted to Royal Philips Electronics in
consideration for the transfer of Origin stock. The warrants fell into two
categories, conferring entitlement to subscribe for one Atos Origin share.

 

ATOS ORIGIN ANNUAL REPORT 2002 45

 

 

	 	 	 
	2   ANNUAL REPORT	 	
> FINANCIAL REPORT

The first warrant category was not exercised.

The second warrant category (category B)
could be exercised if the weighted average
daily stock market price of the Atos
Origin share over 12 consecutive stock
market sessions during a period ending
June 30th, 2003 exceeds EUR 208.

c. Claims and litigation

In recent years, certain Group companies
have been subject to tax audits.

In addition, Atos Origin Brazil has been
challenged by the Brazilian employee
welfare agency as to the amount of
contributions due. Provisions have been
recorded for the claims; nevertheless the
Group considers that it has sound
arguments to successfully contest the
proposed reassessments.

With respect to commercial transactions,
Management has implemented a strict action
plan in view of promoting service quality
and avoiding claims and litigation. In
this regard, the volume of litigation as
of December 31st, 2002, has decreased by
more than 50% compared to last year.
Further to such measures, the number of
new claims and litigation during the year
2002 is considerably below last year’s
level. For the current existing claims and
litigation, Management is not aware of any
claims or litigation likely to have a
material impact on the results or assets
of the Group that are not adequately
provided in the balance sheet as at
December 31st, 2002.

At this date, provisions recorded by
the Group to cover identified
disputes total EUR 29.5 million.

d. Other risks

Industrial and environmental risks

As the Group is a service provider it
is not exposed to any material
environmental risks.

Other specific risks

	 	 	- Suppliers
	 
	 	 	Atos Origin is not, in its opinion,
dependent on one or more suppliers as it
has alliances and global industrial
agreements with many major suppliers.
	 
	 	 	- Customers
	 
	 	 	The five largest customers in fiscal
year 2002 generated 34% of Group
revenue. The Group’s 42 largest customer
accounts represent more than 55% of
revenue. Excluding Philips, which now
represents less than 14%, KPN 10% and
Euronext 6%, no single customer
generated more than 3% of total Atos
Origin revenue in 2002.
	 
	 	 	- Employee-related risks
	 
	 	 	Employee management within the Group is a
priority for the Management Board. The
close attention paid to human resource
issues limits considerably any
employee-related risks.
	 
	 	 	- Legal risks
	 
	 	 	As the activity of Atos Origin is
centered on Consulting, Systems
Integration, and IT Managed Services,
legal risks primarily lie in the
non-performance of contractual
obligations. Potential liability could
thus arise from delays or deficiencies in
providing a service.

The services are, however, largely
reliant on the quality of information
provided by clients, who have in-house
IT experts and must therefore assist the
service provider for the performance of
services. Accordingly, all Atos Origin
contracts contain limitation of
liability clauses and require, where
necessary, guarantees with respect to
intellectual and industrial property
right infringement from its software
providers.

	 	 	- Insurance and risk coverage
	 
	 	 	The Company has taken out a number of
third-party liability insurance
policies with highly-reputed
international companies providing it
with a level of coverage considered
adequate by Executive Management.

Given the levels of its contractual
commitments, the Group subscribed various
policies over 2002 covering general and
professional liability for a total
exceeding MEUR 100. However, because of
constant premium increases and the
reduction of the coverage scope by
insurers, the Group has set up an
alternative insurance structure and
implemented higher deductibles, while
enforcing a stricter contractual liability
limitation together with an improved
service quality.

In addition, the Company’s assets are
covered by a property damage policy,
including coverage for business
interruption, for all countries where it
operates, providing total coverage of EUR
122 million.

Finally, fraud and computer-related abuse
are the subject of a specific coverage,
including coverage for business
interruption.

Exhibit 10 (e)

Principal differences between French GAAP and US GAAP

Accounting principles generally accepted in France (French GAAP)
differ in certain material respects from US GAAP. With respect to
the Atos Origin financial statements, the principal differences
between French GAAP and US GAAP are as follows:

	1.	 	Under French GAAP, certain business combinations, which would be
recorded using the purchase method of accounting under US GAAP, were
recorded similar to a pooling. The effect of this difference is that
goodwill and other intangibles that would be recorded as assets
under US GAAP are not recognized, with a corresponding reduction in
the amount reflected in Shareholders’ Equity. Prior to 2002, this
difference also resulted in lower amounts recorded as goodwill
amortization expense under French GAAP compared to that which would
be recorded under US GAAP.
	 
	2.	 	Beginning in 2002, US GAAP does not permit goodwill to be
amortized. Rather, it is tested for impairment at least annually.
French GAAP requires goodwill to be amortized.
	 
	3.	 	French GAAP and US GAAP differ in some respects as to the timing
of recognition of provisions for restructuring and other
liabilities. Generally, these types of provisions may be recorded
earlier under French GAAP than would be the case under US GAAP.
	 
	4.	 	French GAAP and US GAAP differ in some respects as to the
treatment of certain costs incurred in connection with business
combinations. Under French GAAP, certain costs that would have to be
recorded as expenses when incurred under US GAAP, may be accrued at
the acquisition date and treated as part of the cost of an
acquisition.
	 
	5.	 	While deferred taxes are accounted for using an asset and
liability approach under both French and US GAAP, there are
differences in the criteria for the recognition of deferred tax
assets and liabilities and the determination of the need for a
valuation allowance.
