4. INCOME TAXES The tax provision for the three months periods ended March 31, 1998 and 1997 are based on the estimated effective tax rates applicable for the full years. The Company's income tax provision of $759 for the three month period ended March 31, 1998 consists of federal and state income taxes. 8 FORENSIC TECHNOLOGIES INTERNATIONAL CORPORATION MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Revenues for the first quarter ended March 31, 1998, increased 47.9% to $14.1 million, compared to the same period in 1997. Excluding acquisitions during 1997, revenues during the quarter increased 27.0%. The increase is primarily the result of a 36.4% increase in visual communication services, attributable to high levels of active trials during the period, continued development of key relationships with major law firms and corporations and the success of an integrated marketing approach. Additional increases in revenue resulted from Engineering services, which grew 27.5% with higher levels of activity in both the engineering science consulting and Teklicon businesses. Direct costs, as a percentage of revenue, were approximately the same during the first quarter of 1998 and 1997, as a result of managing the mix of internal and external resources to meet the demands for the Company's services. Selling, general and administrative expenses also remained relatively consistent during these periods as management focused on containing these costs while growing the business operations. LIQUIDITY AND SOURCES OF CAPITAL Cash flow used in operations during the quarter was due to the increase in accounts receivable balances and also to the payment of liabilities in a timely manner. Cash was also used in investing activities for the purchase of property and equipment. These outflows were funded by the exercise of stock options during the first quarter. Approximately 182,000 options were exercised in the first quarter of 1998 thus resulting in an overall increase in cash. 9 PART II. OTHER INFORMATION ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS None. ITEM 2.
