MAXIMUS, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE THREE MONTH PERIODS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1998 AND 1997
1. ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have
been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles for interim financial information and the instructions to
Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not
include all of the information and footnotes required by generally
accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In
the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normally
recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have
been included. The results of operations for the three month period
ended December 31, 1998 are not necessarily indicative of the results
that may be expected for the full fiscal year. These financial
statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial
statements as of September 30, 1997 and 1998 and for each of the three
years in the period ended September 30, 1998, included in the Company's
Annual Report on Form 10-K, as filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission.
2. SECONDARY PUBLIC OFFERING
The Company completed a secondary public offering ("secondary")
of Common Stock during December 1998. Of the 4,200,000 shares of
Common Stock sold in the secondary, 2,200,000 shares were sold by
selling shareholders and 2,000,000 shares were sold by MAXIMUS, Inc.
generating $61,010,000 in proceeds to the Company, net of offering
expenses.
3. BUSINESS COMBINATIONS
On May 12, 1998, the Company issued 1,166,179 shares of it's
common stock in exchange for all of the outstanding common stock of
David M. Griffith and Associates, Ltd. ("DMG"). This merger was
accounted for as a pooling of interests and accordingly, the Company's
financial statements, including earnings per share, have been restated
for all periods presented to include the financial position and results
of operations of DMG.
On December 1, 1998, the Company acquired certain assets
consisting primarily of computer equipment and office furniture from
Interactive Web Systems, Inc. for $707,000. In conjunction with this
transaction, the company recorded intangibles assets of $150,000.
4. CONTINGENCIES
On February 3, 1997, the Company was named as a third party
defendant by Network Six, Inc. ("Network Six") in a legal action
brought by the State of Hawaii against Network Six. Network Six
alleges that the Company is liable to Network Six on various grounds.
The Company believes Network Six's claims are without merit and intends
to vigorously defend this action. The Company believes this action
will not have a material adverse effect on its financial condition or
results of operations and has not accrued for any loss related to this
claim.
On November 28, 1997, an individual who was a former officer,
director and shareholder of the Company, filed a complaint in the
United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts,
alleging that at the time he resigned from the Company in 1996, thereby
triggering the repurchase of his shares, the Company and certain of its
officers and directors had failed to disclose material information to
him relating to the potential value of the shares. He further alleges
that the Company and its officers and directors violated Sections 10(b)
and 20(a) of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 and breached
various fiduciary duties owed to him and claims damages in excess of
$10 million. The Company does not believe that this action will
- 6 -
have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial condition or results
of operations, and it intends to vigorously defend this action.
In January 1997, a lawsuit was filed against a number of
defendants, including DMG, by a purchaser of municipal bonds. DMG had
prepared two reports rendering an opinion on the anticipated debt
service coverage of the revenue bonds for the first five years of
operation of the sewer project by Superstition Mountain Community
Facilities District No. 1 (the "District"). The District was unable to
meet its debt service obligations and filed bankruptcy. The purchaser
of the Revenue Bonds, Allstate Insurance company, has sued a number of
defendants, including DMG, for damages of $32.1 million which is the
face value of the revenue bonds, plus interest. The District also
filed a lawsuit against DMG seeking damages, which suit has been
consolidated with the purchaser's action. DMG intends to vigorously
defend against these claims. However, given the early stage of
litigation, legal counsel is unable to express an opinion concerning
the ultimate resolution of either case or DMG's liability, if any, in
connection therewith.
The Company also is involved in various other legal proceedings
in the ordinary course of business. In the opinion of management,
these proceedings involve amounts that would not have a material effect
on the financial position or results of operations of the Company if
such proceedings were disposed of unfavorably.

transaction and paid the seller in cash.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
OVERVIEW
MAXIMUS provides program management and consulting services to
government health and human services agencies in the United States.
Founded in 1975, the Company has been profitable every year since
inception. The Company conducts its operations through two groups, the
Government Operations Group and the Consulting Group. The Government
Operations Group administers and manages government health and human
services programs, including welfare-to-work and job readiness, child
support enforcement, managed care enrollment and disability services. The
Consulting Group provides health and human services planning, information
technology consulting, strategic program evaluation, program improvement,
communications planning and revenue maximization services.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
THREE MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1998 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED
DECEMBER 31, 1997
Revenues. Total contract revenues increased 47.3% to $70.2 million
for the three months ended December 31, 1998 as compared to $47.7 million
for the same period in 1997. Government Operations Group revenues
increased 39.8% to $38.8 million for the three months ended December 31,
1998 from $27.8 million for the same period in 1997. This increase was
due to an increase in the number of contracts in all four divisions in
the Government Operations Group. Consulting Group revenues increased 57.8%
to $31.4 million for the three months ended December 31, 1998 from $19.9
million for the same period in 1997. Of the $11.5 million increased
revenue, $10.0 million was from companies which combined with the Company
during fiscal year 1998 in transactions accounted for as immaterial
poolings of interests
Gross Profit. Gross profit consists of total revenues less cost of
revenues. Total gross profit increased 61.3% to $19.7 million for the
three months ended December 31, 1998 as compared to $12.2 million for the
same period in 1997. Government Operations Group gross profit increased
35.5% to $6.7 million for the three months ended December 31, 1998 from
$4.9 million for the three months ended December 31, 1997. As a
percentage of revenues, Government Operations Group gross profit decreased
to 17.2% for the three months ended December 31, 1998 from 17.8% for the
same period in 1997. The decrease was due to anticipated lower gross
profit margins on certain Managed Care contracts. The Consulting Group
gross profit increased 78.9% to $13.0 million for the three months ended
December 31, 1998 from $7.3 million for the same period in 1997 due to the
increased revenues and an increased gross profit percentage. As a
percentage of revenues, Consulting Group gross profit increased to 41.4%
for the three months ended December 31, 1998 from 36.5% for the same
period in 1997, due primarily to an improved margin in the DMG division.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Total selling, general
and administrative ("SG&A") expenses increased 33.7% to $10.9 million for
the three months ended December 31, 1998 as compared to $8.2 million for
the same period in 1997. The increase in SG&A costs was due to the
increased size of the Company, both in terms of revenue growth and the
number of employees, which increased from 2,100 at December 31, 1997 to
2,900 at December 31, 1998. As a percentage of revenues, SG&A expenses
decreased to 15.6% for the three months ended December 31, 1998 from 17.2%
for the same period in 1997, reflecting some economy of scale.
Deferred Compensation and ESOP Expense. DMG, with which the Company
merged in May 1998, had deferred compensation and employee stock option
(ESOP) plans which were terminated after the merger. Therefore, no
expense for those plans was incurred during the three months ended
December 31, 1998.
Interest and Other Income. The decrease in interest and other
income to $0.4 million for the three months ended December 31, 1998 as
compared to $0.5 million for the same period in 1997 was due to the
decrease in the average
- 8 -
invested funds. The decrease can be attributed to the use of cash to grow the
business, both internally and through acquisitions.
Provision for Income Taxes. The provision for income tax for the
three months ended December 31, 1998 was 40.0% of income before income
taxes as compared to 39.0% for the three months ended December 31,
1997. The difference in percentages was due to differences in the
amounts of certain expense items which are not deductible for tax
purposes between the two time periods.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Company's cash used in operations for the three months ended
December 31, 1998 was $5.9 million as compared to $3.2 million cash
used in operations for the three months ended December 31, 1997. The
principal reason for the use of cash in operations for the three months
ended December 31, 1998 was the increase in accounts receivable from
$72.3 million at September 30, 1998 to $81.6 million at December 31,
1998. This increase of $9.2 million was due primarily to increases in
receivables of $4.8 million related to three large contracts which were
in the first months of performance, and a general slowness in payment
on amounts totaling $4.4 million by customers on ten other mid-to
large-sized contracts. $7.8 million of the increased receivables has
been collected as of February 10, 1999, and the Company expects to
collect the remainder in the near future.
Of the $61.0 million of proceeds (net of expenses) from the
secondary offering, the Company purchased marketable securities
totaling $54.9 million and the remainder, $6.1 million, was invested in
cash equivalents at the Company's bank to provide general funding for
operations.
In December 1998 the Company entered into an agreement to purchase
an office building consisting of approximately 60,000 square feet of
office space for $8 million. In January, 1999 the Company concluded
the transaction and paid the seller in cash.
The Company has a $10.0 million revolving credit facility (the
"Credit Facility") with a bank, which may be used for borrowing and the
issuance of letters of credit. Outstanding letters of credit totaled
$0.3 million at December 31, 1998. The Credit Facility bears interest
at a rate equal to LIBOR plus an amount which ranges from 0.65% to
1.25% depending on the Company's debt to equity ratio. The Credit
Facility contains certain restrictive covenants and financial ratio
requirements, including a minimum net worth requirement of $60 million.
The Company has not used the Credit Facility to finance its working
capital needs for the three months ended December 31, 1998 and 1997.
At December 31, 1998, the Company had $9.7 million available under the
Credit Facility.
Management believes that the Company will have sufficient resources
to meet its cash needs over the next 12 months, which may include
start-up costs associated with new contract awards, obtaining
additional office space, establishing new offices, investment in
upgraded systems infrastructure or acquisitions of other businesses and
technologies. Cash requirements beyond the next 12 months will depend
on the Company's profitability, its ability to manage working capital
requirements and its rate of growth.
YEAR 2000
The Company is aware of the issues that many computer,
telecommunication and other infrastructure systems will face as the
millennium ("Year 2000") approaches. The Company is auditing its
internal software and hardware and is implementing corrective actions
where necessary to address Year 2000 problems. The Company is also
currently reviewing the software and hardware, and implementing
corrective actions where necessary, of DMG, Carrera Consulting Group,
Spectrum Consulting Group and Phoenix Planning and Evaluation, all
divisions which resulted from business combinations completed during
1998. The Company will continue to assess the need for Year 2000
contingency plans as its remediation efforts progress. The Company
estimates that its remediation efforts will be completed by July 31,
1999. The Company does not believe that the cost of its remediation
efforts will be material or that these efforts will have a material
impact on its operations or financial results. However, there can be
no assurance that those costs will not be greater than anticipated, or
that corrective actions undertaken will be completed before any Year
2000 problems could occur.
- 9 -
The Company also provides assistance in assessing, evaluating,
testing and certifying government client systems affected by Year 2000
problems, as well as quality assurance monitoring of Year 2000
compliance conversions performed for clients by third parties.
Although the Company has attempted to contract to provide such services
in a manner that will minimize its liability for system failures, there
can be no assurance that the Company would not become subject to legal
proceedings which, if resolved in a manner adverse to the Company,
could have a material adverse effect on its financial condition.
The Company relies to varying extents on information processing
performed by the governmental agencies and entities with which it
contracts. The Company has inquired where necessary of such agencies
and entities of potential Year 2000 problems, and, based on responses
to such inquires, management believes that the Company would be able to
continue to perform on such contracts without material negative
financial impact. However, the Company cannot be certain that Year
2000 related systems failures in the information systems of clients
will not occur and, if such failures occur, that they will not
interfere with the Company's ability to properly manage a contracted
project and result in a material adverse effect on the Company's
business, financial condition and results of operations.
FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS
Statements that are not historical facts, including statements
about the Company's confidence and strategies and the Company's
expectations regarding its ability to obtain future contracts, expand
its market opportunities or attract highly-skilled employees, are
forward looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. These
risks and uncertainties include legislative changes and political
developments adverse to the privatization of the provision of
government services; risks related to possible acquisitions; opposition
from government employee unions; reliance on key executives; impact of
competition from similar companies; and legal, economic and other risks
detailed in Exhibit 99 to this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the
period ended December 31, 1998.

Part II. Other Information.
Item 2. Use of Proceeds from Registered Securities.
A Registration Statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-29115)
registering 6,037,500 shares of the Company's Common Stock, filed in
connection with the Company's IPO, was declared effective by the
Securities and Exchange Commission on June 12, 1997. The IPO closed on
June 18, 1997 and the offering has terminated. The Company's net
