ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS. On May 12, 1998, MAXIMUS, Inc. ("MAXIMUS") completed its acquisition of David M. Griffith & Associates, Ltd. ("Griffith"). The acquisition was structured as a merger (the "Merger") of a wholly owned subsidiary of MAXIMUS with and into Griffith pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Merger Agreement") dated as of March 9, 1998. The Merger was a tax-free reorganization and is being accounted for as a pooling of interests. As consideration for the Merger, the stockholders of Griffith received 5.198 shares of common stock, no par value, of MAXIMUS (the "MAXIMUS Common Stock") in exchange for each of their shares of common stock, $.10 par value, of Griffith. Cash is payable in lieu of any fractional shares of MAXIMUS Common Stock otherwise issuable in the Merger for a price equal to the fraction times $25.25. The number of shares of MAXIMUS Common Stock delivered as the merger consideration was determined through arms-length negotiation between the parties. There was no material relationship between Griffith or its stockholders and MAXIMUS or any of its affiliates, directors or officers, or any associate of a MAXIMUS director or officer. The assets acquired in the Merger were used by Griffith in the business of providing consulting services, primarily for state and local governments, throughout the United States and Puerto Rico. Griffith's services include cost allocation, executive search, revenue maximization, health and human services management, human resources consulting, fleet management, housing and environmental consulting, child support collections, organizational and productivity studies, university research rate negotiations, disaster management, franchise fee and information system studies. MAXIMUS intends that Griffith, as a wholly owned subsidiary of MAXIMUS, will operate in the same business. ITEM 7. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION AND EXHIBITS.
