INFONET SERVICES CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
Note 1. Basis of Presentation
In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited financial statements of Infonet Services Corporation and subsidiaries (the Company) have been prepared in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Regulation S-X promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Correspondingly, they do not include all of the information and
footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. All normal, recurring adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Preparing financial statements requires management
to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates. The financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and
notes thereto included in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2002 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on June 27, 2002. Certain items have been reclassified to conform to the current
period presentation. The results of operations for the three months ended June 30, 2002 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2003.
The Companys fiscal year is the 52- or 53-week period ending on the Friday nearest to March 31. For simplicity of presentation, the
Company has described the 52-week period ended March 29, 2002 as the year ended March 31, 2002, and the 13-week periods ended June 29, 2001 and June 28, 2002 as the three months ended June 30, 2001 and 2002, respectively.
Note 2. Accounting Change-Derivative Financial Instruments
Under the terms of the Senior Secured Credit Facility, the Company is required to enter into hedge agreements to provide that at least 50% of the outstanding term loans are
subject to fixed interest rates. The Company has entered into interest swap agreements to fix the interest rates and mitigate interest rate risk. In connection with the mortgage agreement related to the purchase of the Companys headquarters
facility, the Company entered into an interest rate swap to fix the interest rate over the remaining life of the mortgage agreement and mitigate interest rate risk. The Company designated the swaps as a cash flow hedges pursuant to Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 133, as amended.
For the three months ended June 30, 2001,
the change in fair market value of derivative instruments resulted in a pre-tax credit to OCI of approximately $255,000 (approximately $156,000, net of tax). For the three months ended June 30, 2002, the change in fair market value of derivative
instruments resulted in a pre-tax charge to OCI of approximately $1.3 million (approximately $793,000, net of tax). For the three months ended June 30, 2001 and June 30, 2002, no amounts were reclassified to earnings resulting from the
ineffectiveness or discontinuance of cash flow hedges. As of June 30, 2002, the amount to be reclassified from OCI into earnings during the next 12 months is expected to be approximately $851,000.
Note 3. New Accounting Pronouncements
On April 1, 2002, the Company adopted SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets which changes the method of accounting for goodwill to a test for impairment and requires, among
other things, the discontinuance of goodwill amortization. The Company has not yet completed the first step of the transitional goodwill impairment test as required by SFAS No. 142. This will be performed in the second quarter of fiscal year 2003.
Total goodwill recorded in the consolidated balance sheet at June 30, 2002 is approximately $1.5 million. Goodwill amortization in the three month period ended June 30, 2001 was approximately $28,000. The Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS
No. 142 to have a significant effect on its financial position or results of operations.
On April 1, 2002, the
Company adopted SFAS No. 144, Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets which addresses financial accounting and reporting for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets and
6
INFONET SERVICES CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(Continued)
provides guidance on implementation issues related to SFAS No. 121, Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of, and addresses the
accounting for a segment of a business accounted for as a discontinued operation. The adoption of SFAS No. 144 did not have a significant effect on the Companys financial position or result of operations.
SFAS 143 Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations which becomes effective for the Company on April 1, 2003 addresses the
obligations and asset retirement costs associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets. It requires that the fair value of the liability for an asset retirement obligation be recorded when incurred instead of over the life of the asset.
The asset retirement costs must be capitalized as part of the carrying value of the long-lived asset. If the liability is settled for an amount other than the recorded balance, either a gain or loss will be recognized at settlement. The Company is
currently assessing the impact of the adoption of this statement on its financial position and results of operations.
In April 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS No. 145, Rescission of FASB Statements No. 4, 44, and 64, Amendment of FASB Statement No. 13, and Technical Corrections. SFAS No. 145
rescinds the following pronouncements: SFAS No. 4, Reporting Gains and Losses from Extinguishment of Debt, SFAS No. 44, Accounting for Intangible Assets of Motor Carriers, and SFAS No. 64, Extinguishments of Debt
Made to Satisfy Sinking-Fund Requirements. SFAS No. 145 amends SFAS No. 13, Accounting for Leases, to eliminate an inconsistency between the required accounting for sale-leaseback transactions and the required accounting for
certain lease modifications that have economic effects that are similar to sale-leaseback transactions. SFAS No. 145 also amends other existing authoritative pronouncements to make various technical corrections, clarify meanings, or describe
their applicability under changed conditions.
The provisions of SFAS No. 145 related to the rescission of
Statement No. 4 shall be applied in fiscal years beginning after May 15, 2002, with early adoption encouraged. The provisions of SFAS No. 145 related to SFAS No. 13 shall be effective for transactions occurring after May 15, 2002 with early
application encouraged. All other provisions of SFAS No. 145 shall be effective for financial statements on or after May 15, 2002, with early application encouraged. Adoption of this statement is not expected to have a significant effect on the
Companys financial position and results of operations.
In June 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 146,
Accounting for Exit or Disposal Activities. SFAS No. 146 requires the recognition of costs associated with exit or disposal activities when incurred rather than at the date of a commitment to an exit or disposal plan. SFAS No. 146
replaces previous accounting guidance provided by the FASBs Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) Issue No. 94-3, Liability Recognition for Certain Employee Termination Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an Activity (including
Certain Costs Incurred in a Restructuring). The Company is currently assessing the effect of the adoption of SFAS No. 146 on its financial position and results of operations.

Amortization expense for the three months ended June 30, 2002 was
approximately $331,000. At June 30, 2002, estimated future amortization expense is as follows: approximately $1.0 million for the remaining nine months of fiscal year 2003 and approximately $1.3 million, $1.3 million, $446,000, $6,000 and
$55,000 for fiscal years 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007 and thereafter, respectively.

Communication lines consist of purchased bandwidth. Under the
purchased bandwidth arrangements, the Companys rights to use the communication lines range from 10 to 25 years.
The Company had purchased bandwidth with a net book value of approximately $40.8 million as of June 30, 2002 from a network service provider and its affiliates, each of which is in bankruptcy proceedings as of June 30, 2002. These
service providers subsequently shut down operations and, as a result, the services they were providing for the Company under the purchased bandwidth agreements were disrupted. The Company determined that the service disruption was permanent and
concluded to write-off the net book value of the purchased bandwidth at June 30, 2002. This write-off resulted in a charge to the Companys results of operations of approximately $40.8 million which is included in bandwidth and related costs in
the consolidated statement of operations for the three months ended June 30, 2002.
During the three months ended
June 30, 2002, the Company made a payment of $5.0 million for a 40% interest in a company that is accounted for by the Company under the equity method. The Company is committed to pay an additional $5.0 million in connection with this investment.
Note 5. Earnings (Loss) Per Share
Basic earnings (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average of number of shares outstanding during the periods presented.
Diluted earnings (loss) per common share is computed based on the weighted average shares plus the dilutive effect of potential common stock.
At June 30, 2001 and 2002, the types of potential common stock were stock options and purchase rights. The inclusion of potential common stock as of June 30, 2001 had no effect on the reported diluted
earnings per share and an antidilutive effect on the reported loss per share for the three month period ended June 30, 2002.
8
INFONET SERVICES CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(Continued)
Consequently, reported basic and diluted earnings per share are the same amount for the three month periods ended June 30, 2001 and 2002, respectively. Options to purchase approximately 3.6
million shares of common stock were outstanding at June 30, 2002, but were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because to do so would have been antidilutive.
Note 6. Income Taxes
The Company
recorded a tax benefit in the three months ended June 30, 2002 at an effective tax rate of approximately 27%. This rate is lower than the U.S. federal statutory tax rate primarily because of an inability to deduct incentive stock option charges and
the adverse effect of state and foreign loss utilization rules.
At June 30, 2002, the Companys net deferred
tax assets totaled $181.4 million, which are principally comprised of the intangible asset and the benefit associated with the losses incurred during the three months ended June 30, 2002. Though realization of the Companys deferred tax assets
is not assured, management believes that it is more likely than not that all deferred tax assets at June 30, 2002 will be realized. If, however, estimates of future taxable income were to materially decline, the carrying value of those deferred tax
assets could be reduced through a charge to income.
Note 7. Segment Information
The Company conducts business in two operating segments: country representatives or Direct Sales Channels (Direct) and
Alternate Sales Channels (Alternate). Both of these segments generate revenues by providing the Companys customers with a complete global networking solution.
The Company has organized its operating segments around differences in distribution channels used to deliver its services to customers. These segments are managed and
evaluated separately because each segment possesses different economic characteristics requiring different marketing strategies.
The accounting policies adopted for each segment are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K. The Companys management evaluates performance
based on operating contribution, where segment revenues are reduced by those costs that are allocable to the segments. Costs relating to operating the Companys core network, and non-allocable general, administrative, marketing and overhead
costs, including income tax expense, are not charged to the segments. Accordingly, neither assets related to the core network, nor their associated depreciation expense are allocated to the segments.
The Company accounts for intersegment transactions on the same terms and conditions as if the transactions were with third parties.

Note 8. Stock Incentive Plans
During January 2002, the Company extended an offer to most of its non-director employees to exchange outstanding options to purchase
shares of the Companys Class B common stock with an exercise price of $13.00 or higher granted under the Infonet Services Corporation 1999 Stock Option Plan and 2000 Omnibus Stock Plan for new options (the New Options) to be
granted under the same plans. The number of New Options to be granted to each option holder will be equal to the number of options exchanged by each holder subject to conditions including continued employment by the Company. The New Options will be
issued on a specified date during a 30-day period beginning on the first business day that is at least six months and one day from the date that the Company accepted the outstanding options for exchange and cancelled the options. On February
14, 2002, approximately 6,352,000 options were cancelled pursuant to the offer to exchange.

Note 9. Stockholders Equity
The Companys Board of Directors has approved a plan for the use of up to $100 million to repurchase shares of Infonet Class B common
stock over a two-year period. These repurchases have been and will be made in the open market or privately negotiated transactions and in compliance with the United States Securities and Exchange Commissions Rule 10b-18, subject to market
conditions, legal requirements and other factors. This plan does not obligate the Company to acquire any particular amount of stock and acquisitions may be suspended at any time at the Companys discretion. Under terms of the Senior Secured
Credit Agreement, as amended, purchases of the capital stock of the Company are deemed Restricted Payments, are subject to limitations, and require that the Company prepay Term Loans in an amount equal to 50% of Restricted Payments. For the three
months ended June 30, 2002 the Company repurchased 1,118,800 shares at an aggregate cost of approximately $2.3 million and is committed to pay approximately $1.1 million in Term Loans by September 30, 2002.
Note 10. Contingencies
The Company has purchased bandwidth with a net book value of approximately $43.2 million at June 30, 2002 from network service providers which filed voluntary petitions for Chapter 11 protection with
the United States Bankruptcy Court or made analogous petitions in other jurisdictions on or before June 30, 2002. The Company has also purchased bandwidth with a net book value of approximately $10.7 million at June 30, 2002 from a subsidiary of a
company that filed for Chapter 11 protection prior to June 30, 2002.
These network service providers have not yet
completed these bankruptcy proceedings, but information available to the Company as of June 30, 2002 indicates that it is more likely than not that the network services will continue to be provided under the original terms of each of the agreements.
The Company is of the opinion that the carrying values of the related assets are not impaired. The Company will continue to monitor the situation and will record a charge if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the
assets is no longer recoverable.
During December 2001 and through February 7, 2002, nine purported class action
lawsuits were filed against the Company and various other parties alleging various violations of United States securities laws and these have subsequently been consolidated into one lawsuit. The Company is unable at this time to predict the outcome
of this litigation, but does not believe that its resolution will have a material adverse effect on the Companys business or financial statements.
As part of the agreement entered into with related parties of the Company on September 30, 1999, the Company also entered into a three-year management agreement (the Management Agreement)
with a related party that is expected to terminate on October 1, 2002.
The Company expects to enter into a
termination agreement prior to October 1, 2002 to memorialize the termination of the Management Agreement and related agreements. That termination agreement, if entered into, may provide for (i) the purchase of certain equipment by the Company from
a related party, (ii) the provision of certain services by the Company to a related party and by a related party to the Company for a limited period of time after October 1, 2002 in order to ensure a smooth transition after the Management Agreement
terminates and (iii) an agreed amount for the incentive payment to be made to the Company under the Management Agreement.
Note
11. Subsequent Events
The Company had acquired purchased bandwidth with a net book
value of approximately $12.6 million at June 30, 2002 from network service providers. In July 2002, these service providers declared bankruptcy. The Company continues to monitor the situation and will record a charge equal to the net book value of
the communication lines if the circumstances indicate that the network service providers are no longer viable and the disruption of service is permanent.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion and analysis of our financial position and operating results for the first quarter of the fiscal year ended March
31, 2003 updates, and should be read in conjunction with, Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations presented in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2002. You should
also read this discussion together with our consolidated financial statements and the related notes to those statements appearing elsewhere in this report.
Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior year amounts to conform to the current period presentation.
Overview
We provide cross-border managed data communications services to
multinational corporations worldwide. We offer our services to our clients directly through country representatives and indirectly through alternate sales channels consisting of major international telecommunications carriers and value-added
resellers. We deploy a broad array of fully managed data communications services over our reliable, secure, and high quality global network, which we refer to as The World Network. The World Network is an extensive and versatile ATM-enabled network
that can be accessed by our clients from over 180 countries.
As described more thoroughly in our Annual Report on
Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2002, we are party to several agreements with AUCS Communications Services N.V., Unisource, the then owner of AUCS (Unisource has since been liquidated), and three of our stockholders, KPN, Swisscom and Telia,
who are the owners of AUCS. As part of our arrangement with AUCS, we assumed AUCS obligations to provide various services to its clients. We obtain the services from AUCS under a services agreement that provides us a gross margin of
approximately 20% on the provision of these services. The revenues and expenses resulting from this arrangement are referred to throughout this discussion as outsourcing services revenues and expenses. Our services agreement with AUCS has been
terminated effective as of October 1, 2002, at which time we will cease to receive these outsourcing services revenues. Prior to that date, we expect outsourcing services revenues to continue to decline as the AUCS clients either transition to The
World Network or cease to use the AUCS service. As our outsourcing services revenues decline, our outsourcing expenses, included in country representative compensation, will also decline because we are no longer providing the services.
In addition to the outsourcing arrangement with AUCS, we entered into a three-year management agreement with AUCS that is
expected to terminate on October 1, 2002. Under the management agreement, we earn a fee equal to 1.5% of the outsourcing services revenues, subject to a defined maximum, and we can earn an incentive payment based upon the achievement of defined
financial performance criteria. During fiscal years 2001 and 2002, we recorded approximately $3.7 million and $4.0 million, respectively, in management fees from AUCS. We expect that we will receive significantly less than this amount in fiscal year
2003 because the management agreement is scheduled to expire on October 1, 2002, at which time we will cease to receive any management fees from AUCS. We recorded approximately $780,000 in management fees from AUCS during the three months ended June
30, 2002. Our arrangements also include an incentive payment, which is a one-time fee that will be paid, assuming the performance criteria are met, after the termination of the management agreement.
We expect to enter into a termination agreement prior to October 1, 2002 to memorialize the termination of the management agreement and
related agreements. That termination agreement, if entered into, may provide for (i) the purchase of certain equipment by us from AUCS, (ii) the provision of certain services by us to AUCS and by AUCS to us for a limited period of time after October
1, 2002 in order to ensure a smooth transition after the management agreement terminates and (iii) an agreed amount for the incentive payment to be made to us under the management agreement. The terms of the management agreement provide that we will
receive an incentive payment equal to the amount by which AUCS Entities Adjusted EBITDA Losses (as defined in the management agreement) for the period from October 1, 1999 to September 30, 2002 are less than Euro 295.3 million.
12
We are of the preliminary view that, based on the unaudited AUCS Entities Adjusted EBITDA Losses through June 30, 2002, we will earn an incentive payment. However, AUCS Entities Adjusted EBITDA
Losses will continue to be incurred through the termination of the management agreement at a rate which may or may not be equivalent to past performance. In addition, AUCS Entities Adjusted EBITDA Losses are subject to final determination, including
an audit process under the management agreement, which may affect the ultimate amount of AUCS Entities Adjusted EBITDA Losses. Therefore, we are unable to estimate the amount of any incentive payment that may be made to us.
As a result of increasing competition in the markets we serve, our customers frequently transition to more cost effective solutions
offered by us when they renew their contracts. As a result, we may provide more services to our customers at the same or even reduced prices under the renewed contract. We refer to this as price erosion. Due to the fact that services provided under
renewed contracts may not be directly comparable to the services provided under the previous contracts, we cannot accurately quantify the effects of price erosion. We expect this trend to continue for at least the near-term.
Results of Operations
The following tables summarize revenues by service, by distribution channel, and by region and are provided in support of the accompanying managements discussion and analysis for the three months ended June 30, 2001 and 2002

Three Months Ended June 30, 2002 Compared to Three Months Ended June 30, 2001
Revenues
Revenues by ServiceRevenues decreased $24.5 million, or 14%, from $171.9 million in the three months ended June 30, 2001 to $147.3 million in the three months
ended June 30, 2002. The decrease in revenues was principally the result of a decrease of $24.5 million, or 55%, in revenues from Other Communications Services and $1.7 million, or 3%, in revenues from Consulting, Integration and Provisioning
Services, which were partially offset by increases of $1.6 million, or 2%, in revenues from Network Services. The slight growth in revenues from Network Services was spread across intranet, internet and broadband services. The increase in client
demand for these services is offset by the effects of price erosion. The decrease in revenues from Consulting, Integration and Provisioning Services was primarily the result of a $7.7 million decrease in outsourcing services revenues (discussed in
more detail below) offset by an increase in global connect services for non-outsourcing clients of approximately $5.0 million. The decrease in revenues from Other Communications Services was primarily the result of a $22.8 million decrease in
outsourcing services revenues (discussed in more detail below) and an expected $1.9 million decline in our mature X.25 transport services as our clients are migrating to more advanced, non-X.25 based transport services. We expect that Network
Services will continue to constitute the largest component of our revenue base going forward. We also anticipate that a significant portion of our expected future revenue growth, if any, will come from Network Services and Consulting, Integration
and Provisioning Services and that part of this expected revenue growth will come from outsourcing clients that transition to the Infonet platform.
Outsourcing services revenues decreased $30.5 million from $47.5 million in the three months ended June 30, 2001 to $17.0 million in the three months ended June 30, 2002. This decrease is the
result of AUCS clients ceasing to use AUCS services or, to a lesser extent, transitioning to our services under The World Network. The revenues from clients that have transitioned to the The World Network were not material in the three months ended
June 30, 2002. As the termination of the AUCS outsourcing services agreement approaches, we expect that we will continue to see a decrease in outsourcing services revenues. Of the $30.5 million decrease in outsourcing services revenues, $22.8
million was in Other Communications Services.
Excluding the effect of outsourcing services revenues, revenues
increased $6.0 million, or 5%, from $124.4 million in the three months ended June 30, 2001 to $130.3 million in the three months ended June 30, 2002. The increase is attributable to Network Services, which increased by $1.6 million as described
above and Consulting, Integration and Provisioning Services, which increased $6.0 million, or 17%, from $35.7 million in the three months ended June 30, 2001 to $41.8 million in the three months ended June 30, 2002. The increase in Consulting,
Integration and Provisioning Services is attributable to an increase in demand for our global connect services that enable our clients to access The World Network and use our Network Services. These Network Services and Consulting, Integration and
Provisioning Services revenues include revenues from clients previously on the AUCS platform, which were recorded as outsourcing services revenues, that have transitioned to the Infonet platform. These increases were partially offset by a decrease
in revenues from Other Communications Services of $1.7 million, or 19%, from $9.0 million in the three months ended June 30, 2001 to $7.3 million in the three months ended June 30, 2002.
Revenues by Distribution ChannelRevenues from our country representatives increased $14.7 million, or 15%, from $99.2 million in the three months ended June
30, 2001 to $113.9 million in the three months ended June 30, 2002. Our country representatives increased from 55 as of June 30, 2001 to 57 as of June 30, 2002. The number of our country representative clients increased 4% from 1,503 as of
June 30, 2001 to 1,561 as of June 30, 2002. The increase in the number of clients is net of a decline of 103 outsourcing services clients. Excluding outsourcing services clients, country representative clients increased by 161, from 1,368 as of June
30, 2001 to 1,529 as of June 30, 2002. This growth included clients previously on the AUCS platform that have transitioned to the Infonet platform. The increase in revenues from our country representatives was partially offset by the decline in
outsourcing services revenues and the effect of price erosion on our core business as customers transition to a more cost effective solution offered by us. Excluding the effect of the decrease in outsourcing services revenues, revenues from country
representatives increased by $17.6 million, or 19%, from $94.7 million in the three months ended June 30, 2001 to $112.3 million in the three months ended June 30, 2002. This growth included revenues from clients previously on the AUCS
platform, which was recorded as outsourcing services revenues, that have transitioned to the Infonet platform.
14
Revenues from our alternate sales channels decreased $39.6 million, or 54%, from
$72.6 million in the three months ended June 30, 2001 to $33.4 million in the three months ended June 30, 2002, as a result of a decline in our alternate sales channel partners clients from 1,014 clients as of June 30, 2001 to 705 clients as
of June 30, 2002. The decrease represents a decline of 294 outsourcing services clients and 15 non-outsourcing services clients. The decrease in revenues was primarily the result of a decrease of $27.6 million in outsourcing services revenues.
Excluding the effects of the decrease in outsourcing services revenues, revenues from alternate sales channels decreased $11.6 million from $29.6 million in the June 30, 2001 to $18.0 million in the three months ended June 30, 2002. This decrease is
related to price erosion as customers transition to a more cost effective solution offered by us.
Revenues by
RegionRevenues billed on a regional basis increased in the Asia Pacific region by $7.4 million, or 46%, from $16.2 million in the three months ended June 30, 2001 to $23.6 million in the three months ended June 30, 2002. This increase was
largely attributable to our increased sales efforts in this region combined with the overall growth in this market. This increase is offset by decreases in the EMEA region where revenues decreased $26.0 million, or 22%, from $115.9 million in the
three months ended June 30, 2001 to $89.9 million in the three months ended June 30, 2002. This decrease is the result of a $30.5 million decrease in outsourcing services revenues. Excluding outsourcing services revenues, revenues in the EMEA region
increased by $4.6 million, or 7%, from $68.4 million in the three months ended June 30, 2001 to $73.0 million in the three months ended June 30, 2002 due to the addition of new clients, including those that have transitioned from the AUCS platform
to the Infonet platform, and increased sales to existing clients. Revenues billed in the Americas decreased $6.0 million, or 15%, from $39.8 million in the three months ended June 30, 2001 to $33.8 million in the three months ended June 30, 2002 due
primarily to price erosion as customers transition to more cost effective solutions offered by us.
Expenses
Country representative compensation expense decreased $23.2, or 38%, from $61.4 million in the three
months ended June 30, 2001 to $38.2 million in the three months ended June 30, 2002. Approximately $24.8 million of this decrease is related to decreased outsourcing services revenues. The offsetting increase in expense resulted from a change in
product mix and the impact of varying margins among products.
Bandwidth and related costs increased $39.7
million, or 135%, from $29.5 million in the three months ended June 30, 2001 to $69.1 million in the three months ended June 30, 2002. The three months ended June 30, 2002 includes a charge of approximately $40.8 million related to the write-off of
the net book value of purchased bandwidth from a bankrupt network service provider, see Note 4 in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements. Excluding the write-off, bandwidth and related costs decreased by $1.1 million, or 4%, from $29.5
million in the three months ended June 30, 2001 to $28.4 million in the three months ended June 30, 2002. Lease expense, the largest component of bandwidth and related costs, decreased $2.2 million, or 11%, from $19.7 million in the three months
ended June 30, 2001 to $17.5 million in the three months ended June 30, 2002. Amortization of purchased bandwidth increased $707,000, from $7.3 million to $8.0 million over the period. Both the decrease in lease expense and the increase in
amortization were a result of owning a larger portion of our bandwidth capacity in the backbone of our network.
The total net book value as of June 30, 2002 of the purchased bandwidth related to service providers who have declared bankruptcy as of June 30, 2002 capitalized on our financial statements (excluding the above-referenced write-off)
is approximately $43.2 million. We have also purchased bandwidth with a net book value of $10.7 million as of June 30, 2002 from a subsidiary of a company that has declared bankruptcy as of June 30, 2002. In addition, subsequent to quarter end,
another two of our service providers declared bankruptcy. The net book value of the purchased bandwidth related to these service providers is $12.6 million as of June 30, 2002. If we experience permanent disruption in services on these facilities, a
charge may be recorded to write-off the assets. We are currently unable to predict the timing of such charges, if any become necessary. Management routinely monitors the situation and will take appropriate action in accordance with our accounting
policy, see Notes 10 and 11 in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
Network operations expense
increased $910,000, or 4%, from $25.6 million in the three months ended June 30, 2001 to $26.5 million in the three months ended June 30, 2002. This increase is primarily attributable to
15
an increase in depreciation expense related to network equipment of $1.3 million, or 19%, from $6.8 million in the three months ended June 30, 2001 to $8.1 million in the three months ended June
30, 2002. Stock-related compensation charges remained unchanged at $673,000 in the three months ended June 30, 2001 and 2002. The increase in depreciation was partially offset by decreased costs associated with our network management, operations and
support activities, personnel costs and other network operations expenses.
Selling, general and administrative
expenses increased $12.8 million, or 23%, from $55.2 million in the three months ended June 30, 2001 to $68.0 million in the three months ended June 30, 2002. The three months ended June 30, 2002 includes a $4.5 million bad debt expense related to
the bankruptcy of one of our resellers. Excluding the bad debt expense, selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $8.3 million, or 15%, from $55.2 million in the three months ended June 30, 2001 to $63.5 million in the three months
ended June 30, 2002. Our sales support expenses for multinational activities increased $6.8 million from $20.8 million in the three months ended June 30, 2001 to $27.6 million in the three months ended June 30, 2002, which was directly
related to increased multinational support required to service our customers. Sales and marketing personnel-related expenses increased $841,000, or 4%, from $19.8 million in the three months ended June 30, 2001 to $20.6 million in the three months
ended June 30, 2002 due to increased sales and marketing efforts to increase our revenues. Stock-related compensation charges decreased $424,000, from $3.5 million in the three months ended June 30, 2001 to $3.1 million in the three months ended
June 30, 2002. Administrative expenses, excluding stock-related compensation expense, increased by $1.5 million, or 25% from $6.2 million in the three months ended June 30, 2001 to $7.7 million in the three months ended June 30, 2002. Advertising
expense decreased $310,000 from $1.4 million in the three months ended June 30, 2001 to $1.1 million in the three months ended June 30, 2002.
Operating Income (Loss) decreased by $54.7 million, from $117,000 in the three months ended June 30, 2001 to $(54.6) million in the three months ended June 30, 2002 because of decreased revenues and
increased expenses as discussed above.
Other Income (Expense) remained unchanged at $5.1 million in the three
months ended June 30, 2001 and 2002. This reflects a decrease in interest income of $4.1 million, from $8.4 million in the three months ended June 30, 2001 to $4.3 million in the three months ended June 30, 2002, due to lower interest rates and
lower cash balances as funds were used for capital expenditures during fiscal year 2002. Interest expense decreased $721,000, from $3.0 million to $2.3 million, primarily due to lower interest rates. Other, net increased by $3.3 million
primarily because the three months ended June 30, 2002 included foreign exchange gains of $1.9 million and gains on sale of marketable securities of $1.1 million.
Provision (Credit) for Income Taxes changed from $2.4 million in the three months ended June 30, 2001 to $(13.2) million in the three months ended June 30, 2002 primarily
because of a shift from a profit position in the prior year to a loss position in the three months ended June 30, 2002. The amount of tax benefit was diminished by the limited future deductibility of state and foreign losses.
Net Income (Loss) decreased from $2.5 million in the three months ended June 30, 2001 to $(36.4) million in the three months
ended June 30, 2002 due to the factors described above.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Net cash provided by operating activities during the three months ended June 30, 2002 was $16.6 million compared to $41.7 million during
the three months ended June 30, 2001. This fluctuation was primarily a result of a decrease in net income of $39.0 million. Additionally, changes in accounts payable provided cash of $8.8 million in the three months ended June 30, 2001 compared
to a use of cash of $10.0 million in the three months ended June 30, 2002. Changes in deferred income taxes provided cash of $786,000 in the three months ended June 30, 2001 compared to a use of cash of $13.6 million in the three months ended June
30, 2002. Changes in network communications payable provided cash of $2.8 million in the three months ended June 30, 2001 compared to a use of cash of $7.6 million in the three months ended June 30, 2002. These changes were partially
offset by a write-off of communication lines of $40.8 million and changes in other current assets which provided a source of cash of $8.1 million. Net cash used in investing activities for the three months ended June 30, 2002 was $11.5 million
compared to $1.5 million during the three months ended June 30, 2001. This fluctuation was primarily due to a $69.2 million decrease in the net of purchases, proceeds and maturities of
16
securities available for-sale and a decrease in purchases of property, equipment and communication lines of $62.9 million. Cash used in financing activities for the three months ended June 30,
2002 was $4.7 million compared to $198,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2001. This increase was the result of repayments of long-term obligations and purchases of treasury stock during the three months ended June 30, 2002.
In November 2001, our Board of Directors authorized the expenditure of up to $100 million over a two-year period to repurchase
shares of our common stock. Under the terms of our senior secured credit facility, we are required to prepay indebtedness under the facility in an amount equal to 50% of purchases of our common stock. In the period ended June 30, 2002, we spent
approximately $2.3 million to purchase approximately 1.1 million shares at an average price of $2.11 per share. Additionally, we are committed to pay approximately $1.1 million in term loans by September 30, 2002.
As of June 30, 2002, we had cash and cash equivalents of $150.0 million, short-term investments of $363.2 million, working capital of
$562.9 million and total assets of $1,360.3 million. Indebtedness under our senior secured credit facility totaled $84.7 million as of June 30, 2002 with additional borrowings available under this facility of $99.6 million. Building mortgage
indebtedness as of June 30, 2002 totaled $21.8 million.
There were no material changes to our commitments as
reported in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2002.
Based on current plans and
business conditions, we believe that our existing cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, and cash generated from operations will be sufficient to satisfy anticipated cash requirements for at least the next twelve months. We expect
capital expenditures for this fiscal year to approximate $95.0 million. Although we do not expect to at this time, it may be necessary for us to increase capital expenditures to replace purchased bandwidth acquired from service providers who may be
unable to provide an acceptable level of service.
Deferred Tax Asset
During the year ended March 31, 2001, we filed a request for determination from the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) regarding the propriety of the establishment
of an intangible asset, for tax purposes only, arising in connection with a September 1999 transaction with three stockholders in which we obtained access to the customers of AUCS and cash of $40.0 million in exchange for the issuance to the
stockholders of 47.84 million shares of our Class B common stock. In November 2001, we received a favorable determination from the IRS that an intangible asset relating to the access to the AUCS customers was created by the transaction. The
intangible asset, that will be amortized in our tax returns over a period of fifteen years, was determined to have a value of $445.0 million. Accordingly in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2002, we recorded a deferred tax asset of approximately
$171.0 million. Staff Accounting Bulletin 48, Transfer of Nonmonetary Assets by Promoters or Shareholders, requires that transfers of nonmonetary assets to a company by stockholders in exchange for stock prior to or at the time of a
companys initial public offering be recorded at the transferors historical cost basis. Accordingly, for financial statement purposes, the access to the AUCS customers was valued at the stockholders basis of $0. Correspondingly, the
credit resulting from the recognition of the deferred tax asset was reflected as an increase in stockholders equity, net of directly related costs.
At June 30, 2002, our net deferred tax assets totaled $181.4 million, which are principally comprised of the intangible asset discussed above and the benefit associated with the losses incurred during
the three months ended June 30, 2002. We estimate that we must generate income taxable in the United States of $16 million per year over the amortization and carryforward periods in order to fully utilize the net deferred tax assets. We believe that
it is more likely than not that our future United States taxable income will be sufficient to utilize the full amount of the net deferred tax assets. However, should our estimates of future United States taxable income be insufficient to utilize the
full amount of the net deferred tax asset, we may be required to reduce all or part of the net deferred asset to an amount expected to be utilized over the amortization and carryforward periods. Such a reduction would result in a non-cash charge to
income tax expense and that charge could be material.
Commercial Contracts with Related Parties
Some of our country representatives are related parties where either (1) we hold more than twenty but less than fifty percent ownership
interest or (2) a country representative is owned, directly or indirectly, by one of our stockholders. In each such case, our agreement with the related party acting as our country representative is our
17
standard services agreement. Additionally, we have alternate sales channel agreements with some of our stockholders that allow these stockholders to resell our services under their brand names or
to package them with other services they provide to their customers. These alternate sales channel agreements are generally under the same terms as alternate sales channel agreements we enter into with other communications providers. Finally, from
time to time we lease transmission capacity from some of our stockholders where they are existing local carriers. These leases are short term and at tariff rates in regulated markets and at standard market rates in unregulated markets.
New Accounting Pronouncements
On April 1, 2002 we adopted SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets which changes the method of accounting for goodwill to a test for impairment and requires, among other things, the discontinuance of
goodwill amortization. We have not yet completed the first step of the transitional goodwill impairment test as required by SFAS No. 142. This will be performed in the second quarter of fiscal year 2003. Total goodwill recorded in the consolidated
balance sheet at June 30, 2002 is approximately $1.5 million. Goodwill amortization in the three month period ended June 30, 2001 was approximately $28,000. We do not expect the adoption of SFAS No. 142 to have a significant effect on our financial
position or results of operations.
On April 1, 2002, we adopted SFAS No. 144, Impairment or Disposal of
Long-Lived Assets which addresses financial accounting and reporting for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets and provides guidance on implementation issues related to SFAS No. 121, Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived
Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of, and addresses the accounting for a segment of a business accounted for as a discontinued operation. The adoption of SFAS No. 144 did not have a significant effect on our financial position or
results of operations.
SFAS 143 Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations which becomes effective
for us on April 1, 2003 addresses the obligations and asset retirement costs associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets. It requires that the fair value of the liability for an asset retirement obligation be recorded when incurred
instead of over the life of the asset. The asset retirement costs must be capitalized as part of the carrying value of the long-lived asset. If the liability is settled for an amount other than the recorded balance, either a gain or loss will be
recognized at settlement. We are currently assessing the impact of the adoption of this statement on our financial position and results of operations.
In April 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS No. 145, Rescission of FASB Statements No. 4, 44, and 64, Amendment of FASB Statement No. 13, and Technical
Corrections. SFAS No. 145 rescinds the following pronouncements: SFAS No. 4, Reporting Gains and Losses from Extinguishment of Debt, SFAS No. 44, Accounting for Intangible Assets of Motor Carriers, and SFAS No. 64,
Extinguishment of Debt Made to Satisfy Sinking-Fund Requirements. SFAS No. 145 amends SFAS No. 13, Accounting for Leases, to eliminate an inconsistency between the required accounting for sale-leaseback transactions and the
required accounting for certain lease modifications that have economic effects that are similar to sale-leaseback transactions. SFAS No. 145 also amends other existing authoritative pronouncements to make various technical corrections, clarify
meanings, or describe their applicability under changed conditions.
The provisions of SFAS No. 145 related to the
rescission of Statement No. 4 shall be applied in fiscal years beginning after May 15, 2002, with early adoption encouraged. The provisions of SFAS No. 145 related to SFAS No. 13 shall be effective for transactions occurring after May 15, 2002 with
early application encouraged. All other provisions of SFAS No. 145 shall be effective for financial statements on or after May 15, 2002, with early application encouraged. Adoption of this statement is not expected to have a significant effect on
our financial position and results of operations.
In June 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 146, Accounting
for Exit or Disposal Activities. SFAS No. 146 requires the recognition of costs associated with exit or disposal activities when incurred rather than at the date of a commitment to an exit or disposal plan. SFAS No. 146 replaces previous
accounting guidance provided by the FASBs Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) Issue No. 94-3, Liability Recognition for Certain Employee Termination Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an Activity (including Certain Costs Incurred
in a Restructuring). We are currently assessing the effect of the adoption of SFAS No. 146 on our financial position and results of operations.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET
RISK
We are exposed to market risks, which arise during the normal course of business from changes
in foreign exchange rates and interest rates. A discussion of our primary market risks associated with our available-for-sale securities, long-term debt exposure and foreign currency transactions is presented below.
Interest Rate Risk
We currently maintain an investment portfolio of high quality marketable securities. According to our investment policy, we may invest in taxable instruments including U.S. Treasury bills, obligations issued by government agencies,
certificates of deposit, commercial paper, master notes, corporate notes and asset-backed securities. In addition, the policy establishes limits on credit quality, maturity, issuer and type of instrument. All securities are classified as available
for sale, and recorded in the balance sheet at fair value. Fluctuations in fair value attributable to changes in interest rates are reported as a separate component of stockholders equity. We do not use derivative instruments to hedge our
investment portfolio.
The carrying amount, principal maturity and estimated fair value of our investment
portfolio and long-term debt exposure as of June 30, 2002 are as follows:

Under the terms of our senior secured credit facility entered into
on August 17, 1999, we are required to enter into hedge agreements to provide that at least 50% of the outstanding term loans are subject to fixed interest rates. We have entered into interest rate swap agreements to fix the interest rates and
mitigate our interest rate risk.
In connection with the mortgage loan related to the purchase of our headquarters
facility, we entered into an interest rate swap to fix the interest rate over the remaining life of the mortgage agreement and mitigate interest rate risk.
The following table sets forth the notional amount, weighted average pay rate, weighted average receive rate, weighted average maturity, range of maturities and the fair value of the interest rate
swaps at June 30, 2002 (dollars in thousands):

Foreign Exchange Risk
We invoice substantially all sales of our services to our country representatives and sales channel partners, except outsourcing services and assignment agreements with
AUCS, in U.S. dollars. However, many of our country representatives derive their revenues and incur costs in currencies other than U.S. dollars. To the extent that the local currency used by the country representative fluctuates against the U.S.
dollar, the obligations of the country representative may increase or decrease significantly and lead to foreign exchange losses or gains. We assume the exchange rate risk for our consolidated country representatives, however, our non-consolidated
country representatives assume the exchange rate risk under our country representative structure.
Our exposure to
exchange rate fluctuations primarily arises from outsourcing services and assignment agreements with AUCS, which are denominated in euros as well as operating costs associated with such agreements. Approximately 12% of our revenues for the three
months ended June 30, 2002 were generated from the euro-denominated AUCS agreements. The revenues and the related costs result in a net euro exposure of the gross profit, which is equal to approximately 20% of revenues. The euro-denominated gross
profit is offset by other euro-denominated operating costs from our European subsidiaries and generally results in a natural hedge. However, timing of settlement of euro-denominated accounts receivables and payables subjects us to exchange rate risk
on settlement of the receivables and payables. Euro-denominated cash, accounts receivable and accounts payable related to the AUCS agreements were a net asset of $14.7 million as of June 30, 2002.
We monitor our exposure to exchange rate fluctuations through our regular operating activities and have not historically used derivatives
to hedge foreign exchange risk.
As of June 30, 2002, we were primarily exposed to the following currencies: the
euro, the British pound, and the Australian dollar. Based upon a hypothetical ten-percent strengthening of the U.S. dollar across all currencies, the potential losses in future earnings due to foreign currency exposures would have been approximately
$510,000 as of that date.

PART II:
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
On December 5, 2001,
the first of nine complaints alleging securities fraud was filed against Infonet and several of its current and former officers and directors in the United States District Court, Central District of California. The lawsuits have been consolidated
under the caption, In re Infonet Services Corporation Securities Litigation, Master File No. 01-10456 NM (CWx). A Consolidated Class Action Complaint was filed on July 3, 2002 on behalf of public investors who purchased Infonets
securities during the period from December 16, 1999 through August 7, 2001. The Consolidated Class Action Complaint names the following defendants: Infonet; Infonets Chief Executive Officer and Chairman, Jose A. Collazo; Infonets Chief
Financial Officer, Akbar H. Firdosy; certain of Infonets current and former Board of Director members: Douglas Campbell, Eric M. De Jong, Morgan Ekberg, Masao Kojima, Joseph Nancoz and Rafael Sagrario; the shareholders of Infonets Class
A shares: KDDI Corporation, KPN Telecom, Swisscom AG, Telefonica International Holding B.V., Telia AB and Telstra Corporation Ltd.; and the underwriters of Infonets initial public offering: Merrill Lynch & Co., Warburg Dillon Read LLC, ABN
AMRO Inc., Goldman Sachs & Co., Lehman Brothers Inc., and Salomon Smith Barney Inc.
The Consolidated Class
Action Complaint alleges that defendants made misrepresentations and omissions regarding the AUCS channel in Infonets Form S-1 registration statement and the accompanying prospectus for its initial public offering and in other statements
during the class period. The plaintiffs assert counts against Infonet and its officers and directors for violations of Sections 11, 12 and 15 of the Securities Act of 1933 and violations of Section 20(a) and 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934 and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder. The plaintiffs have requested a judgment determining that the lawsuit is a proper class action, awarding compensatory damages and/or rescission, awarding costs of the lawsuit and awarding such other relief
as the court may deem just and proper.
On March 1, 2002, the first of three shareholder derivative suits,
captioned Paul Benny v. Jose A. Collazo et al., No. BC269140, Los Angeles County Superior Court, was filed in Los Angeles County Superior Court against Infonet as a nominal defendant and current and former members of the Infonet Board of
Directors: Jose A. Collazo, Makato Arai, Douglas Campbell, Eric M. de Jong, Morgan Ekberg, Timothy P. Hartman, Heinz Karrer, Matthew J. ORourke and Rafael Sagrario. Two other subsequent shareholder derivative lawsuits have been filed, which
contain identical allegations:
|
|
|
Elizabeth Trantham v. Jose A. Collazo et al., No. BC269340, Los Angeles County Superior Court (filed March 5, 2002) |
|
|
|
Iraj Movahedi v. Jose A. Collazo et al., No BC269601, Los Angeles County Superior Court (filed March 8, 2002) |
All of the derivative lawsuits allege that Infonets current and former directors breached their duties toward Infonet either through
their alleged participation in, or alleged failure to adequately oversee, the purported conduct and events that are alleged in the securities class action lawsuits described above. Plaintiffs seek both a declaration that the defendants breached
duties owed to Infonet and its shareholders and a judgment directing defendants to pay damages to Infonet.
We are
unable at this time to predict the outcome of any of these litigations. As of this date, we do not believe that these, or any other litigations to which we are a party, could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on our business
or financial condition. It is possible, however, that future results of operations for any particular quarterly or annual period could be materially affected by changes in our assumptions or the effectiveness of our strategies related to these
proceedings. We have not been involved in any litigation that has had a material adverse effect on our business or financial condition in the past three years. From time to time, we may be involved in other litigation that arises in the normal
course of our business operations.

ITEM 2. CHANGES IN SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS
On December 15, 1999, our Form S-1 registration statement (File No. 333-88799) was declared effective by the
Securities and Exchange Commission. The registration statement, as amended, covered the offering of 51,282,300 shares of our Class B common stock. The offering commenced on December 16, 1999 and the sale to the public of 51,282,300 shares of common
stock at $21.00 per share was completed on December 21, 1999 for an aggregate price of approximately $1.076 billion. The registration statement covered an additional 7,692,342 shares of common stock that the underwriters had the option to purchase
solely to cover over-allotments. These additional shares were purchased on January 13, 2000. The managing underwriters were Merrill Lynch & Co., Warburg Dillon Read LLC, ABN AMRO Rothschild, Goldman, Sachs & Co., Lehman Brothers and Salomon
Smith Barney. Expenses incurred in connection with the issuance and distribution of common stock in the offering included underwriting discounts, commissions and allowances of approximately $38.5 million and other expenses of approximately $2.4
million. Total offering expenses of approximately $40.9 million resulted in net offering proceeds to us of approximately $766.8 million. Specified 10% owners of our Class B common stock sold in the offering and received, net of expenses paid by
those owners, an aggregate of $256.4 million. We have used and continue to use aggregate net proceeds to us of approximately $766.8 million from our initial public offering as follows:
|
|
|
The repayment of long-term debt under our credit facility of approximately $60.0 million; |
|
|
|
The purchase of assets that were under operating leases of approximately $7.0 million; |
|
|
|
Expansion of our network infrastructure, including purchased bandwidth and continued deployment of our ATM backbone, of approximately $443.3 million;
|
|
|
|
The purchase of an office building to accommodate future growth of approximately $25.3 million; |
|
|
|
To fund working capital needs of approximately $45.2 million; and |
|
|
|
For general corporate purposes of $6.7 million. |
Our management, subject to supervision by our board of directors, has significant flexibility in applying the net proceeds of the offering. Pending any use as described above, we have invested the net
proceeds in interest-bearing investment grade securities.
