     Key highlights from ACS' fiscal year 2008 second quarter:

    Frequently Used Terms

New business signings - while there are no third party standards or requirements governing the calculation of new business signings, we define new business signings as annual recurring revenue from new contracts and the incremental portion of renewals that are signed during the period, which represents the estimated first twelve months of revenue to be recorded under the contracts after full implementation. We use new business signings as a measure of estimated recurring revenues represented by contractual commitments, both to forecast prospective revenues and to estimate capital commitments. Revenues are measured under GAAP.

Trailing twelve month new business - is the preceding twelve months of new business signings at a point in time expressed in annual revenue, not total contract value.

Total contract value - represents estimated total revenue over the term of the contract.

Restatement of Operating Segment Results

During the first quarter of fiscal year 2008, the Company reorganized the internal operating and reporting structures in its Commercial and Government segments to more formally align our sales, service delivery and financial organizations under its appropriate leadership. As a result, the Company has restated its Commercial and Government segment results for the three and six months ended December 31, 2006 to reflect its current operating and reporting structure. The restatement has no impact on the Company's consolidated results for the period of restatement.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information

The Company reports its financial results in accordance with GAAP. However, the Company uses certain non-GAAP performance measures, including adjusted non-GAAP earnings per share, free cash flow and internal revenue growth to provide both management and investors a more complete understanding of the Company's underlying operational trends and results.

Management uses these non-GAAP measures to provide additional meaningful comparisons between current results and prior results, and as a basis for planning and forecasting for future periods.

Reconciliation of Reported GAAP Results to Adjusted Non-GAAP Results -- In addition to reporting operating income, pretax income, net income and earnings per share on a GAAP basis, the Company has also made certain non-GAAP adjustments which are described in "Description of Non-GAAP Adjustments" and are reconciled to the corresponding GAAP measures in the attached financial schedules titled "Reconciliation of Reported Results to Income Adjusted for Certain Non-GAAP Items" included in this earnings release. In making these non-GAAP adjustments, the Company takes into account the impact of items that are infrequently occurring or that are non-operational in nature. Management believes that the exclusion of these items provides a useful basis for evaluating underlying business performance, but should not be considered in isolation and is not in accordance with, or a substitute for, evaluating business unit performance utilizing GAAP financial information. Management uses non-GAAP measures in its budgeting and forecasting processes and to further analyze its financial trends, as well as making financial comparisons to prior periods presented on a similar basis. The Company's management uses each of these non-GAAP financial measures in its own evaluation of the Company's performance, particularly when comparing performance to prior periods, and the Company believes that providing such adjusted results allows investors and other users of the Company's financial statements to better understand the Company's comparative operating performance for the periods presented.

The Company's management uses each of these non-GAAP financial measures in its own evaluation of the Company's performance, particularly when comparing performance to past periods. The Company's non-GAAP measures may differ from similar measures by other companies, even if similar terms are used to identify such measures. Although the Company's management believes non-GAAP measures are useful in evaluating the performance of its business, the Company acknowledges that items excluded from such measures may have a material impact on the Company's income from operations, pretax income, net income and earnings per share calculated in accordance with GAAP. Therefore, management uses non-GAAP measures in conjunction with GAAP results. Investors and users of our financial information should also consider the above factors when evaluating the Company's results.

Description of Non-GAAP Adjustments:

The following items are included in our presentation of Non-GAAP adjustments:

     1.   Costs related to our internal investigation of our stock option
          grant practices, investigations begun by the Securities and Exchange
          Commission and Department of Justice, and shareholder derivative
          suits. The Company has incurred costs related to our internal
          investigation, as well as those of the SEC and DOJ.  In addition,
          several derivative lawsuits have been filed in connection with our
          stock option grant practices, generally alleging claims related to
          breach of fiduciary duty and unjust enrichment by certain of our
          directors and senior executives and the Company has incurred costs
          related to these lawsuits.  Management expects that the Company will
          continue to incur costs related to the ongoing investigations and
          derivative lawsuits (collectively, "Option Related Costs").
          Management believes that these costs, although material and
          recurring, are not related to the Company's ongoing operations and
          that excluding them helps to provide a more meaningful
          representation of the Company's operating performance.

     2.   Costs related to buyout offers and related shareholder derivative
          suits.  The Company has incurred costs in fiscal years 2008 and 2007
          to evaluate our strategic alternatives, including the proposal from
          Mr. Deason and Cerberus. In addition, several lawsuits have been
          filed in connection with the announced buyout transaction, generally
          alleging claims related to breach of fiduciary duty, and seeking
          class action status ("Buyout Related Cost"). Management expects that
          the Company may continue to incur costs related to our evaluation of
          strategic alternatives and these lawsuits.  Management believes that
          these costs, although material and possibly recurring, are not
          related to the Company's ongoing operations and that excluding them
          helps to provide a more meaningful representation of the Company's
          operating performance.

     3.   Cost related to amending certain employee stock options.  During
          fiscal year 2007 and the first quarter of fiscal year 2008, the
          Company amended the exercise price of certain outstanding stock
          options in order to reprice all, or a portion, of the respective
          stock option grants to the correct accounting measurement date to
          avoid adverse tax consequences to individual holders under Section
          409A of the Internal Revenue Code ("Section 409A").  During the
          third quarter of fiscal year 2008, the Company paid approximately
          $6.7 million in accordance with the terms of the amended stock
          options.  During the first quarter of fiscal year 2008, the Company
          expensed approximately $1.2 million related to these amended stock
          options ("Amended Options").  Management believes that these costs
          are not related to the Company's ongoing operations and that
          excluding them helps to provide a more meaningful representation of
          the Company's operating performance.

     4.   Cost related to certain former employees' stock options.  The
          exercise price of certain former employees' vested, unexercised and
          outstanding stock options were less than the fair market value per
          share of ACS stock on the revised measurement dates for such stock
          options.  During the first quarter of fiscal year 2008, the Company
          notified certain former employees that the Company will pay them the
          additional 20% income tax imposed by Section 409A if a triggering
          event occurs and if the employee is required to recognize and report
          W-2 income under Section 409A, subject to certain limitations.
          During the three and six months ended December 31, 2007, the Company
          accrued approximately ($0.4) million and $0.5 million based on the
          market price of ACS common stock at December 31, 2007 and will
          adjust this accrual to the fair market value of ACS stock each
          quarter until the options are exercised ("Income Tax
          Reimbursements").  Management believes that these costs are not
          related to the Company's ongoing operations and that excluding them
          helps to provide a more meaningful representation of the Company's
          operating performance.

     5.   Gain related to sale of our decision support business.  In the
          second quarter of fiscal year 2008, the Company divested its
          decision support business and recognized a pre-tax gain of $2.4
          million. Management believes that the decision support business is
          not strategic to our ongoing operations and its sale is an isolated
          event.  Management believes excluding the gain on its sale better
          reflects the performance of our continuing operations.

     6.   Waiver fee on our Credit Facility. The Company received an
          amendment, consent and waiver from the lenders under our Credit
          Facility with respect to, among other provisions, waiver of any
          default or event of default arising under the Credit Facility as a
          result of our failure to comply with certain reporting covenants
          ("Waiver Fee"). Management believes that our delayed filings of our
          Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2006 and
          Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended September 30,
          2006, which necessitated the waiver, are infrequently occurring
          events and excluding the Waiver Fee provides a more meaningful
          representation of our results of operations for the first quarter of
          fiscal year 2007.

Internal revenue growth- is measured as total revenue growth less acquired revenue from acquisitions and revenues from divested operations. Acquired revenue from acquisitions is based on pre-acquisition normalized revenue of acquired companies. We use the calculation of internal revenue growth to measure revenue growth excluding the impact of acquired revenues and the revenue associated with divested operations and we believe these adjustments to historical reported results are necessary to accurately reflect our internal revenue growth.

For the three months ended December 31, 2007, the Company generated internal revenue growth of 5%. Internal revenue growth is measured as follows (unaudited, $ in millions):

Free Cash Flow

Free cash flow - is measured as operating cash flow (net cash provided by operating activities, as reported in our consolidated statements of cash flows) less capital expenditures (purchases of property, equipment and software, net of sales, as reported in our consolidated statements of cash flows) less additions to other intangible assets (as reported in our consolidated statements of cash flows). We believe this free cash flow metric provides an additional measure of available cash flow after we have satisfied the capital expenditure requirements of our operations, and should not be taken in isolation to be a measure of cash flow available for us to satisfy all our obligations and execute our business strategies. We also rely on cash flows from investing and financing activities which, together with free cash flow, are expected to be sufficient for us to execute our business strategies. Our measure of free cash flow may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. (unaudited, $ in millions)
