Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(all figures are in thousands except per share data)


Note 1.    Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Nature of Operations

SEI Investments Company (the “Company”) is organized around its five primary target markets: Private Banking and Trust, Investment Advisors, Enterprises, Money Managers, and Investments in New Businesses. Private Banking and Trust provides investment processing solutions, fund processing solutions and investment management programs to banks and private trust companies. Investment Advisors provides investment management programs and investment processing solutions to affluent investors through a network of financial intermediaries, independent investment advisors and other investment professionals. Enterprises provides retirement and treasury business solutions for corporations, unions, foundations and endowments, and other institutional investors. Money Managers provides investment solutions to U.S. investment managers, mutual fund companies and alternative investment managers worldwide. Investments in New Businesses include the Company’s global asset management businesses as well as initiatives into new U.S. markets.

Summary Financial Information and Results of Operations

In the opinion of the Company, the accompanying unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements contain all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position as of June 30, 2003, the results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, and cash flows for the six month period ended June 30, 2003 and 2002.

Interim Financial Information

While the Company believes that the disclosures presented are adequate to make the information not misleading, these Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Company’s latest annual report on Form 10-K.

Principles of Consolidation

The Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. The Company’s principal subsidiaries are SEI Investments Distribution Company (“SIDCO”), SEI Investments Management Corporation (“SIMC”), and SEI Private Trust Company. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. Investment in unconsolidated affiliate is accounted for using the equity method due to the Company’s less than 50 percent ownership. The Company’s portion of the affiliate’s operating results is reflected in Equity in the earnings of unconsolidated affiliate on the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Income (See Note 6).

Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation and amortization are computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of each asset. Expenditures for renewals and betterments are capitalized, while maintenance and repairs are charged to expense when incurred.

Capitalized Software

The Company accounts for software development costs in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 86, “Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software to Be Sold, Leased, or Otherwise Marketed” (“SFAS 86”). Under SFAS 86, costs incurred to create a computer software product are charged to research and development expense as incurred until technological feasibility has been established. The Company establishes technological feasibility upon completion of a detail program design. At that point, computer software costs are capitalized until the product is available for general release to customers. The establishment of technological feasibility and the ongoing assessment of recoverability of capitalized software development costs require considerable judgment by management with respect to certain external factors, including, but not limited to, anticipated future revenues, estimated economic life, and changes in technology. The Company did not capitalize any software development costs during the six months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002 in accordance with SFAS 86.

In 2002, the Company adopted the guidance established in Emerging Issues Task Force Issue 00-03 “Application of AICPA Statement of Position 97-2 to Arrangements That Include the Right to Use Software Stored on Another Entity’s Hardware”, and applies Statement of Position 98-1 (“SOP 98-1”), “Accounting for the Cost of Computer Software Developed or Obtained for Internal Use,” for development costs associated with software products to be provided in a hosting environment. SOP 98-1 requires that costs incurred in the preliminary project and post implementation stages of an internal software project be expensed as incurred and that certain costs incurred in the application development stage of a project be capitalized. The Company capitalized $2,437 and $1,230 in software development costs in accordance with SOP 98-1 during the six months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively.

Amortization of capitalized software development costs begins when the product is released. Capitalized software development costs are amortized on a product-by-product basis using the straight-line method over the estimated economic life of the product or enhancement, which is primarily three to ten years, with a weighted average remaining life of approximately 5.2 years. Amortization expense was $867 during the six months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002 and is included in Operating and development expenses on the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Income.

Earnings per Share

The Company computes earnings per common share in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, “Earnings per Share” (“SFAS 128”). Pursuant to SFAS 128, dual presentation of basic and diluted earnings per common share is required on the face of the statements of income for companies with complex capital structures. Basic earnings per common share is calculated by dividing net income available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per common share reflects the potential dilution from the exercise or conversion of securities into common stock, such as stock options.

Options to purchase 4,998 and 2,851 shares of common stock, with an average exercise price of $38.21 and $45.56, were outstanding during the second quarter of 2003 and 2002, respectively, but were excluded from the diluted earnings per common share calculation because the options’ exercise prices were greater than the average market price of the Company’s common stock.

Options to purchase 5,003 and 2,751 shares of common stock, with an average exercise price of $38.20 and $45.94 were outstanding during the first six months of 2003 and 2002, respectively, but were excluded from the diluted earnings per common share calculation because the options’ exercise prices were greater than the average market price of the Company’s common stock.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,” and related interpretations and has presented the required Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” (“SFAS 123”), as amended by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 148, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation-Transition and Disclosure” (“SFAS 148”), pro forma disclosure in the table below.

The Company applies Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25 and related interpretations in accounting for its plans, and accordingly, no compensation cost has been recognized for the Company’s fixed stock-based compensation. Had compensation cost been determined consistent with SFAS 123, as amended by SFAS 148, the Company’s net income would have been reduced to the following pro forma amounts:

Management’s Use of Estimates

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

New Accounting Pronouncements

In November 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued FASB Interpretation No. 45,”Guarantor’s Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of indebtedness of Others,” (“FIN 45”). This interpretation elaborates on the disclosures to be made by a guarantor in its interim and annual financial statements about its obligations under certain guarantees it has issued. It also clarifies that a guarantor is required to recognize, at the inception of a guarantee, a liability for the fair value of the obligation undertaken in issuing the guarantee. The initial recognition and measurement provisions of FIN 45 are applicable on a prospective basis to guarantees issued or modified on or after January 1, 2003. The recognition and measurement provisions of FIN 45 does not, nor is it expected to, have any material effect on the results of operations, financial position or liquidity of the Company.

In January 2003, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 46, “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, an Interpretation of ARB No. 51,” (“FIN 46”). This interpretation provides guidance on the identification of, and financial reporting for, entities over which control is achieved through means other than voting rights. The consolidation requirements of FIN 46 apply immediately to variable interest entities created after January 31, 2003 and to older entities in interim periods beginning after June 30, 2003. Certain of the disclosure requirements apply to all financial statements issued after January 31, 2003, regardless of when the variable interest entity was established. The Company does not have an interest in any entity that require disclosure or consolidation as a result of adopting the provisions of FIN 46.

In February 2003, the Emerging Issues Task Force ratified Issue No. 00-21,”Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables,” (“Issue 00-21”). Issue 00-21 addresses certain aspects of the accounting by a vendor for arrangements under which it will perform multiple revenue-generating activities and addresses how to determine whether an arrangement involving multiple deliverables contains more than one unit of accounting. The Company provides certain services that involve a series of different product offerings that can be purchased as a complete solution or as individual components. Consideration for these types of services is usually a combination of fixed and variable payment amounts. Currently, the Company is evaluating the impact Issue 00-21 could have on our results of operations, financial position, liquidity and disclosure requirements. Issue 00-21 becomes effective for revenue arrangements entered into after June 30, 2003.


Note 2.    Comprehensive Income – The Company computes comprehensive income in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 130, “Reporting Comprehensive Income” (“SFAS 130”). SFAS 130 establishes standards for reporting and presentation of comprehensive income and its components (revenues, expenses, gains and losses) in a full set of general-purpose financial statements that is presented with equal prominence as other financial statements. Comprehensive income includes net income, foreign currency translation adjustments, and unrealized holding gains and losses and is presented on the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Income. Accumulated other comprehensive gains (losses) on the Consolidated Balance Sheets is the change from December 31, 2002 to June 30, 2003 as follows:

Note 4.    Investments Available for Sale - The Company accounts for investments in marketable securities pursuant to Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 115, “Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities” (“SFAS 115”). SFAS 115 requires that debt and equity securities classified as available for sale be reported at market value. Unrealized holding gains and losses, net of income taxes, are reported as a separate component of comprehensive income. Realized gains and losses, as determined on a specific identification basis, are reported separately on the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Income.

Management performs a review of all investments in marketable securities on a quarterly basis with regards to impairment. Factors considered in determining other-than-temporary impairment are significant or prolonged declines in the price of investments based on available market prices. Additional consideration is given to the ability to recover the carrying amount of the investment. During the first six months of 2003, management determined that certain investments were impaired. The Company recorded an impairment charge of $595 related to other-than temporary declines in fair value and is included in Net loss from investments on the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Income. The Company did not record an impairment charge related to other-than-temporary declines in fair value for any of its securities available-for-sale during the three months ended June 30, 2003.

During the three months ended June 30, 2003, the Company recognized gross realized gains from available-for-sale securities of $54 and gross realized losses from available-for-sale securities of $457. For the six months ended June 30, 2003, the Company recognized gross realized gains from available-for-sale securities of $64 and gross realized losses from available-for-sale securities of $612.


Note 5.     Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities - The Company is exposed to market risk associated with its designated Investments available for sale. To provide some protection against potential market fluctuations associated with its Investments available for sale, the Company has entered into various derivative financial transactions in the form of futures and equity contracts (i.e. derivatives).

The Company accounts for its derivatives in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities,” (“SFAS 133” ) and SFAS No. 138, “Accounting for Certain Derivative Instruments and Certain Hedging Activities – an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133,” (“SFAS 138”).

The Company recognizes all derivatives on the balance sheet at fair value. On the date the derivative instrument is entered into, the Company generally designates the derivative as a hedge of the fair value of a recognized asset. Changes in the fair value of a derivative that is designated as, and meets all the required criteria for, a fair value hedge, along with the gain or loss on the hedged asset attributable to the hedged risk, are recorded in current period earnings. The portion of the change in fair value of a derivative associated with hedge ineffectiveness or the component of a derivative instrument excluded from the assessment of hedge effectiveness is recorded currently in earnings. Also, changes in the entire fair value of a derivative that is not designated as a hedge are recognized immediately in earnings. The Company formally documents all relationships between hedging instruments and hedged items, as well as its risk-management objective and strategy for undertaking various hedge transactions. This process includes relating all derivatives that are designated as fair value hedges to specific assets on the balance sheet.

The Company also formally assesses, both at the inception of the hedge and on an ongoing basis, whether each derivative is highly effective in offsetting changes in fair values of the hedged item. If it is determined that a derivative is not highly effective as a hedge or if a derivative ceases to be a highly effective hedge, the Company will discontinue hedge accounting prospectively. During 2002, the Company discontinued hedge accounting prospectively for certain derivatives utilized to manage economic exposure because of hedge ineffectiveness. The Company may continue to enter into economic hedges to support certain business strategies but may not designate such derivatives as accounting hedges. Management’s decision to no longer apply hedge accounting to certain derivatives as well as hedge ineffectiveness may cause volatility in quarterly earnings and equity. Currently, the Company does not apply hedge accounting to any of its derivative instruments.

At June 30, 2003, Net loss from investments on the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Income includes a net loss of $2,575 and $1,917 from hedge ineffectiveness for the three and six months ended June 30, 2003, respectively.

The Company currently holds futures contracts with a notional amount of $1,285 with a financial institution with various terms. The Company also currently holds equity derivatives with a notional amount of $8,519 with a financial institution with various terms. During the period ending June 30, 2003, the Company did not enter into or hold derivative financial instruments for trading purposes.

During the second quarter 2003, the Company recorded an impairment charge for $1,196 related to an equity investment in a private technology company and is reflected in Net loss from investments on the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Income.

Investment in Unconsolidated Affiliate – LSV Asset Management (“LSV”) is a partnership formed between the Company and several leading academics in the field of finance. LSV is a registered investment advisor, which provides investment advisory services to institutions, including pension plans and investment companies. LSV is currently the portfolio manager for a number of Company-sponsored mutual funds. The Company’s interest in LSV was approximately 44 percent for the first six months in 2003 and 2002. LSV is accounted for using the equity method of accounting due to the Company’s less than 50 percent ownership. The Company’s portion of LSV’s net earnings is reflected in Equity in the earnings of unconsolidated affiliate on the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Income.

On June 30, 2003, the Company entered into an Assignment and Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) to acquire an additional 2 percent interest in LSV. As a result of the Purchase Agreement, the Company’s total partnership interest in LSV is approximately 46 percent. At June 30, 2003, the basis of the Company’s investment in LSV exceeded its underlying equity in the net assets of LSV by $8,048. The Company accounts for this amount as goodwill embedded in their investment in LSV. The Company does not record amortization expense associated with such embedded goodwill but assesses whether such embedded goodwill is impaired on an annual basis. The embedded goodwill in LSV was not deemed impaired during the six month period ended June 30, 2003. In addition, the Purchase Agreement contains a contingent payment provision and occurs in the event of the sale of a certain percentage of the Partnership’s business and assets. The contingent payment provision expires on January 1, 2006.

Note 8.     Short-term Borrowing Arrangements - The Company had a line of credit agreement (the “ Credit Agreement”) with a principle lending institution that provided for borrowings of up to $25,000. The Credit Agreement expired on June 30, 2003. The Company did not borrow against the Credit Agreement during the first six months of 2003 and 2002.

Note 9.     Long-term Debt - On February 24, 1997, the Company signed a Note Purchase Agreement authorizing the issuance and sale of $20,000 of 7.20% Senior Notes, Series A, and $15,000 of 7.27% Senior Notes, Series B, (collectively, the “Notes”) in a private offering with certain financial institutions. The Notes are unsecured with final maturities ranging from 10 to 15 years. The proceeds from the Notes were used to repay the outstanding balance on the Company’s line of credit at that date. The Note Purchase Agreement, as amended, contains various covenants, including limitations on indebtedness, maintenance of minimum net worth levels, and restrictions on certain investments. In addition, the Note Purchase Agreement limits the Company’s ability to merge or consolidate, and to sell certain assets. The Company was in compliance with all covenants during the first six months of 2003. Principal payments on the Notes are made annually from the date of issuance while interest payments are made semi-annually. The Company made its scheduled principal payment of $4,000 in February 2003. The current portion of the Notes amounted to $4,000 at June 30, 2003.

On June 26, 2001, the Company entered into a term loan agreement (the “Loan Agreement”) with a separate lending institution. The Loan Agreement provides for borrowing up to $25,000 in the form of a term loan, and expires on March 31, 2006 and is payable in seventeen equal quarterly installments. On August 2, 2001, the Company borrowed the entire $25,000. The Loan Agreement accrues interest at the Prime Rate or one and thirty-five hundredths of one percent above LIBOR. The Loan Agreement contains various covenants, including limitations on indebtedness and restrictions on certain investments. None of these covenants negatively affect the Company’s liquidity or capital resources. The Company was in compliance with all covenants during the first six months of 2003. The Company made its scheduled principal payments of $1,389 in March and June of 2003. The current portion of the notes amounted to $5,556 at June 30, 2003. The interest rate being applied at June 30, 2003 was 2.45%.

 


15


At June 30, 2003, the Company had a payable to LSV in relation to the Purchase Agreement (See Note 6) in the amount of $7,250 which bears interest at the rate of 4 percent per annum and is to be repaid in six quarterly installments beginning July 1, 2003. The current portion of the debt amounted to $4,809 at June 30, 2003.


Note 10.    Common Stock Buyback - The Board of Directors has authorized the purchase of the Company’s common stock on the open market or through private transactions of up to an aggregate of $703,365. Beginning with the inception of the Company’s common stock buyback program and through June 30, 2003, a total of 108,738,000 shares at an aggregate cost of $663,568 have been purchased and retired. The Company purchased 2,257,000 shares at a total cost of $57,272 during the six months ended June 30, 2003.

The Company immediately retires its common stock when purchased. Upon retirement, the Company reduces Capital in excess of par value for the average capital per share outstanding and the remainder is charged against Retained earnings. If the Company reduces its Retained earnings to zero, any subsequent purchases of common stock will be charged entirely to Capital in excess of par value.


Note 11.    Segment Information – The Company defines its business segments in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 131, “Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information” (“SFAS 131”). SFAS 131 establishes standards for the way public business enterprises report financial information about operating segments in financial statements. SFAS 131 also requires additional disclosures about product and services, geographic areas, and major customers.

The Company’s management evaluates financial performance of its operating segments based on Income from operations. The Company’s operations are organized into separate business units that offer products and services tailored for particular market segments. The Company’s reportable segments are Private Banking and Trust, Investment Advisors, Enterprises, Money Managers, and Investments in New Businesses. The accounting policies of the reportable segments are the same as those described in Note 1. The information in the following tables is derived from the Company’s internal financial reporting used for corporate management purposes.

Consolidated revenues decreased $5.3 million, or 3 percent, to $153.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2003 compared with the three months ended June 30, 2002. For the six months ended June 30, 2003, consolidated revenues decreased $13.9 million, or 4 percent, to $304.2 million as compared to the prior year comparable period. The decrease in our revenues for both comparable periods was primarily due to lower asset-based fees. Asset-based fees are earned as a percentage of the average value of assets we manage and administer. The primary reason for the decrease in our asset-based fees was due to the significant decrease in our average client proprietary assets under administration. This decrease resulted from client losses in our fund processing business. Improved capital market conditions and new business activity has contributed to the growth in our average asset balances under management. However, our percentage earned from average assets under management decreased in both comparable periods. This was primarily due to a shift in some assets from higher-fee products into lower-fee products. Also, our revenues were adversely affected by a reduction in transaction-based fees from our brokerage services.

Operating margins improved in both comparable periods to 34 percent for the three and six months ended June 30, 2003, as compared to 33 percent for the three and six months ended June 30, 2002. Operating margin improvement was accomplished through our cost containment efforts, improved productivity in our operations and lower direct expenses associated with reduced revenues in our fund processing and brokerage services businesses. Our cost containment efforts were primarily focused at discretionary spending, mainly marketing, consulting and compensation. Our investment spending increased during the second quarter 2003 for the development of new products and services but a large portion of this increased spending was capitalized and margins were unaffected. Our investments in new products and services are aimed at building outsourced business solutions that can be leveraged across most of our businesses.

Other income primarily includes the earnings from unconsolidated affiliate, interest income, interest expense and realized gains and losses from available-for-sale securities. The decrease in other income was primarily due to hedge ineffectiveness, realized losses from the sale of available-for-sale securities and the write-down in the value of investments considered other than temporary. However, these losses were partially mitigated by the significant increase in earnings from our unconsolidated affiliate as a result of a substantial increase in average assets under management by our unconsolidated affiliate. All revenues and expenses of our unconsolidated affiliate are reflected as one net amount in other income and as such are excluded from our revenues and expenses.

Diluted earnings per share increased 3 percent during the three months ended June 30, 2003 compared with the three months ended June 30, 2002 and increased 5 percent during the six months ended June 30, 2003, as compared to the prior year comparable period despite the decrease in net income. This increase was due to a decrease in the number of shares used to calculate diluted earnings per share as a result of our stock repurchase program.

Although we remain optimistic about our long-term prospects, the outlook for the capital markets remains uncertain. This could lead to the continued devaluation in the assets we manage and/or administer, continued redemption rates, and prolonged buying decisions among our clients.

Investment processing fees decreased $1.4 million, or 2 percent, during the three months ended June 30, 2003, as compared to the corresponding prior year period. For the six months ended June 30, 2003, investment processing fees decreased $3.3 million, or 3 percent, as compared to the prior year comparable period. This decrease was primarily due to a decrease in transaction-based fees from our brokerage services. Our recurring revenue base and our non-recurring project fees remained relatively flat in both comparable periods.

Fund processing fees decreased $3.5 million, or 24 percent, during the three months ended June 30, 2003, as compared to the corresponding prior year period. For the six months ended June 30, 2003, fund processing fees decreased $6.8 million, or 22 percent. The decline in our fund processing fees was mainly due to client losses.

 


21


Operating margins improved in both comparable periods despite total revenues decreasing in both comparable periods, about $5.3 million during the three months ended June 30, 2003 and about $11.3 million during the six months ended June 30, 2003. Along with the decrease in revenues, there was a corresponding decrease in direct expenses associated with the decline in transaction-based fees and fund processing fees. In addition, our cost containment efforts reduced certain other expenses, mainly compensation and consulting. These factors contributed to maintaining profit levels and improving operating margin.

Revenues decreased $2.2 million, or 5 percent, for the three months ended June 30, 2003 compared with the three months ended June 30, 2002. For the six months ended June 30, 2003, revenues decreased $5.1 million, or 7 percent, as compared with the corresponding prior year period. The decline in our revenues in both comparable periods was primarily due to lower average asset balances relative to prior year average asset balances for the same time periods. Even though the capital markets have improved in the second quarter 2003, this has not yet resulted in a positive net inflow of assets into our mutual funds because of increased redemptions. The increase in redemptions was partially due to our decision to eliminate a variable-annuity product as well as the normal tendency for investors to redeem shares during the second quarter to pay taxes.

Operating profits and operating margin improvement was primarily due to the management of discretionary expenses, mainly marketing and compensation.

Revenues during the three months ended June 30, 2003, as compared to the prior year quarter, remained relatively flat but were down about 2 percent for the six months ended June 30, 2003 relative to the same period a year ago. Average asset balances for the second quarter and year-to-date increased slightly over prior year comparable balances. New business activity and improved capital markets helped boost average assets levels. Even though average asset balances have increased, revenues were affected by a slight change in the mix between treasury and retirement revenues.

Income from operations and operating margin in both comparable periods increased due to management of discretionary spending, primarily for technology, marketing and personnel expenses.

Money Managers

Money Managers provides investment solutions to U.S investment managers, U.S. based mutual fund companies and to investment managers worldwide of alternative asset classes (e.g., hedge funds and private equity funds). Revenues are earned primarily as a percentage of the average asset values under management and administration.

Revenues increased $2.3 million, or 21 percent, for the three months ended June 30, 2003 compared with the three months ended June 30, 2002. For the six months ended June 30, 2003, revenues increased $3.8 million, or 18 percent, as compared to the prior year comparable period. Our average asset balances increased in both comparable periods contributing to the increase in revenues. The increase in average asset balances and revenues was mainly due to new business activity. Also, second quarter 2003 average asset balances were impacted by improved capital markets.

Income from operations and profit margin in both comparable periods were negatively affected by increased levels of spending associated with building the necessary infrastructure to provide a complete business solution for this market. A substantial portion of this spending was for increased personnel and other operating costs.

Investments in New Businesses

Investments in New Businesses provides investment management, fund processing, and investment processing solutions to non-U.S. banks, investment advisors, enterprises and money managers located outside the United States. This segment also includes other initiatives in new U.S. markets. Revenues are earned primarily as a percentage of the average asset values under management.

Revenues decreased in both comparable periods because of some non-recurring revenue events recognized in prior year periods. We continue to experience positive market acceptance of our investment solution offerings in Canada and Europe. New business activity in these regions has increased during the past year.

Operating losses in each period include significant investments in technology, our Dublin-based operations, and other operating costs to further enhance our product offerings. We also continue to invest in expanding our distribution channels in our target markets and other U.S. based initiatives. We expect continued investment in these regions to build our distribution network and enhance our product offerings throughout the remainder of 2003 and into 2004 and should continue to incur losses.

Equity in the earnings of unconsolidated affiliate on the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Income includes our less than 50 percent ownership in the general partnership of LSV Asset Management (“LSV”) (See Note 6 to the Consolidated Financial Statements). The increase in LSV’s net earnings is due to an increase in assets under management.

Net loss from investments for the six months ended June 30, 2003 includes a loss of $1.9 million from hedge ineffectiveness, a charge for $.6 million for other-than-temporary declines in market value, $1.2 million for the write-down of an equity investment in a private technology firm and $0.5 million in realized losses from sales of marketable securities.

Interest income is earned based upon the amount of cash that is invested daily and fluctuations in interest income recognized for one period in relation to another is due to changes in the average cash balance invested for the period and/or changes in interest rates.

Interest expense is directly attributable to our long-term debt and other borrowings. Interest expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2003 increased over both comparable periods due to the capitalization of interest costs in 2002 associated with the term loan agreement that was attributable to borrowings used in the expansion of our corporate headquarters.

Income Taxes

Our effective tax rate was 37.0 percent for the periods ending June 30, 2003 and 2002.

Cash requirements and liquidity needs are primarily funded through our cash flow from operations and our capacity for additional borrowing. At June 30, 2003, our unused sources of liquidity consisted of unrestricted cash and cash equivalents of $156.3 million. We are currently in the process of generating a credit facility through a syndicate of lenders to provide for borrowings of up to $200.0 million. We expect the credit facility will be available by September 30, 2003. The credit facility will be used for general corporate purposes, including the repurchase of our common stock.

Net cash provided by operating activities decreased during 2003 relative to 2002. The decrease in cash flow from operations was primarily due to a reduction in the tax benefit received from stock options exercised and various accrued expenses.

Net cash used in investing activities primarily includes capital expenditures and purchases and sales of available-for-sale securities. Net cash used in investing activities decreased about $9.5 million during the first six months in 2003 as compared to the prior year period. This decrease was due to lower capital expenditures for property, plant and equipment and fewer purchases of available-for-sale securities during 2003 relative to 2002. Capital expenditures for property, plant and equipment, including capitalized software development costs, were $12.8 million for the first six months in 2003 verses $18.0 million for the first six months in 2002. Capital expenditures in the first six months of 2003 included $7.8 million related to the expansion of our corporate headquarters. This expansion is being done to relocate our data center from a facility that we are currently leasing. We expect this project to be completed by the beginning of 2004. Purchases of available-for-sale securities in the first six months of 2003 were approximately $7.4 million, as compared to $12.1 million in the first six months of 2002, whereas sales of available-for-sale securities totaled $14.2 million in the first six months of 2003, as compared to $13.6 million in the first six months of 2002.

Net cash used in financing activities primarily includes principal payments on our debt, the repurchase of our common stock and dividend payments. Net cash used in financing activities increased approximately $15.3 million during the first six months in 2003 relative to the same period in 2002. This increase was primarily due to an increase in stock repurchases. Our board of directors had authorized the repurchase of our common stock up to $703.4 million. During the first six months of 2003, the Company purchased 2.3 million shares at a cost of $57.3 million, as compared to purchases of 1.4 million shares at a cost of $44.1 million during the first six months of 2002. As of July 31, 2003, we still had $39.8 million of authorization remaining for the purchase of our common stock under this program.

We made principal payments of $4.0 million for the Senior Notes and $2.8 million for the term loan during the first six months of 2003. We made principal payments of $2.0 million for the Senior Notes and $2.8 million for the term loan during the first six months of 2002 (See Note 9 to the Consolidated Financial Statements).

Cash dividends paid were $13.7 million or $.13 per share in the first six months of 2003 and $12.1 million or $.11 per share in the first six months of 2002. Our Board of Directors has indicated its intention to continue making cash dividend payments.

Forward-Looking Information

The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 provides a “safe harbor” for forward-looking statements. Certain information contained in this discussion is or may be considered forward-looking. Forward-looking statements relate to future operations, strategies, financial results or other developments. Forward-looking statements are based upon estimates and assumptions that involve certain risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond our control or are subject to change. Although we believe our assumptions are reasonable, they could be inaccurate. Our actual future revenues and income could differ materially from our expected results. We have no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Interest Rate Risk - Our exposure to changes in interest rates primarily relates to our investment portfolio and long-term debt obligations. Our excess cash is principally invested in short-term, highly liquid financial instruments, mainly money market funds, with initial maturities of three months or less. Our investment portfolio also includes some long-term fixed income mutual funds, principally invested in federal government agency securities. We place our investments in financial instruments that meet high credit quality standards. A portion of our long-term debt is based upon a variable rate which renews every three months. While changes in interest rates could decrease interest income or increase interest expense, we do not believe that we have a material exposure to changes in interest rates. We do not undertake any specific actions to cover our exposure to interest rate risk and are not a party to any interest rate risk management transactions.

Concentration of Credit Risk – Financial instruments which potentially expose us to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash equivalents, marketable securities and trade receivables. Cash equivalents are principally invested in short-term money market funds or placed with major banks and high credit qualified financial institutions. Concentrations of credit risk with respect to our receivables are limited due to the large number of clients and their dispersion across geographic areas. No single group or customer represents greater than 10 percent of total accounts receivable.

Foreign Currency Risk – We transact business in the local currencies of various foreign countries, principally Canada, Europe and Asia. The total of all of our foreign operations only accounts for approximately 7 percent of total consolidated revenues. Also, most of our foreign operations match local currency revenues with local currency costs. Due to these reasons, we do not hedge against foreign operations nor do we expect any material loss with respect to foreign currency risk.

Price Risk - We are exposed to price risk associated with changes in the fair value of our investment portfolio. To provide some protection against potential fair value changes for some of these investments, we have entered into various derivative financial instruments. We currently hold derivative financial instruments with a notional amount of $9.8 million with various terms, generally less than one year. The effectiveness of these hedging relationships is evaluated on a retrospective and prospective basis using quantitative measures of correlation. If a hedge is ineffective, any excess gains or losses attributable to such ineffectiveness are recognized in current period earnings. During the first six months of 2003, we did not enter into or hold any derivative financial instruments for trading purposes.

During the first six months of 2003, we recorded a $0.6 million impairment charge related to other-than-temporary declines in the fair value of certain securities held within our investment portfolio. Also, the amount of hedge ineffectiveness that was charged to current period earnings was a loss of $1.9 million. The aggregate effect of a hypothetical 10 percent change in the fair value of these derivative financial instruments would not be material to our results of operations, financial position, or liquidity.

A significant portion of our revenues are based upon the market value of assets we manage or administer. A decline in the market value of these assets as a result of changes in market conditions, the general economy or other factors will negatively impact our revenues and earnings.

Item 4.   Controls and Procedures

(a)        Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report are functioning effectively to provide reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed by us in reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. A controls system, no matter how well designed and operated, cannot provide absolute assurance that the objectives of the controls system are met, and no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within a company have been detected.

(b)        Change in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

No change in our internal control over financial reporting occurred during our most recent fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
