Report of Independent Accountants

To the Stockholders and Members
of KMV Corporation and KMV LLC:

In our opinion, the accompanying combined balance sheet and the related combined statement of operations, combined statement of stockholders’ and members’ deficit and combined statement of cash flows present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of KMV Corporation and KMV LLC and its subsidiaries (the “Company”) at December 31, 2001 and the results of its operations and its cash flow for the year then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit of these statements in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States, which require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for the opinion expressed above.

KMV  
Notes to Financial Statements    

    adjustments are accumulated in a separate component of stockholders’ and members’ equity. Other currency gains and losses are included in earnings. For the purpose of these financial statements, all material intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.
 
    Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
    Revenue Recognition
Revenues primarily include the sale of subscriptions for credit risk analysis products and fees from tailored solutions projects and training sessions.
 
    Customers may access the Company’s proprietary credit risk analysis products through software that is either installed on the users’ system or accessed via the Internet. To allow its customers to properly assess risk, KMV provides them with regular updates of market-based variables used in the risk assessment process throughout the life of the subscription. Revenues are recognized ratably over the term of the subscription. Subscription revenue received or receivable in advance of the delivery of the product is included in deferred revenue.
 
    Tailored solutions projects usually last for several months and are recognized by based on the percentage of actual costs incurred to date compared with the estimated total costs to be incurred on each contract.
 
    Training session revenue is recognized upon completion of the training session.
 
    Property and Equipment
 
    Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is provided on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives as follows:

         
    Furniture, fixtures and equipment   7 years
         
    Computer hardware   3-5 years
         
    Internal use software   3 years
         
    Leasehold improvements   over the shorter of the estimated life of the asset or the lease term

    Upon retirement or sale, the cost of assets disposed of and the related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is credited or charged to income. Repairs and maintenance costs are expensed as incurred.
 
    Capitalized Software Costs
 
    Research costs are expensed as incurred. In accordance with the provisions of the Statement of Financial Accounting Standards

KMV  
Notes to Financial Statements    

    No. 86, “Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software to be Sold, Leased, or Otherwise Marketed”, in connection with the development of software that is intended to be marketed to customers, certain costs are capitalized once technological feasibility of the product is established and a market for that product is identified. Technological feasibility is established upon the completion of a working model, which is typically demonstrated by an initial beta shipment. The capitalized amounts are amortized over three to five years. The Company has capitalized such costs primarily related to its CreditEdgeTM product.
 
    Income Taxes
 
    No federal income tax provision has been recorded in the Company’s combined financial statements as the stockholders and members report their share of the Company’s income or loss on their individual tax returns.
 
    The Company provides for state income taxes on the income of KMV Corporation. Such amounts for the year ended December 31, 2001 were not significant.
 
    Ownership and Appreciation Units
 
    KMV LLC has an ownership units plan and an appreciation units plan which are described in Note 4.
 
    Ownership units are referred to as “base units” under the ownership plan and were issued in exchange for the founders’ contribution of assets and other resources into KMV LLC upon its formation. There are no restrictions on the ownership units and no compensation expense is recognized under this plan.
 
    The Company accounts for appreciation units in accordance with provisions of Accounting Principles Board (“APB”) Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees”. Under APB Opinion No. 25, compensation expense is, in general, recognized based on the excess, if any, of the fair market value of the Company’s appreciation units on the date of grant over the strike price of the units. The Company amortizes the compensation expense over the “restriction” period, which is generally 2 1/2 years.
 
3.   Property and Equipment

4.   Ownership and Appreciation Units
 
    Upon the formation of KMV LLC, its founders were granted ownership units referred to as “base units” in exchange for their contribution of assets and other resources.
 
    At the discretion of its Board of Directors, KMV grants units in KMV LLC to certain employees. These units are referred to as “appreciation units” and provide the holder with a) ownership in KMV LLC and b) the right to receive a distribution upon the occurrence of a “Capital Event”. A Capital Event, as defined, includes, among other things, the sale of the Company and an initial public offering.
 
    Ownership in KMV LLC provides a holder with voting rights and a proportionate share of net income and distributions in the normal course of business based upon the percentage of the total units that one holds.
 
    Upon the occurrence of a Capital Event, holders of appreciation units are entitled to participate in the resulting gains to the extent that the cash distribution per base unit exceeds the price ascribed to one’s units (referred to as the “strike”).
 
    Appreciation units are generally “restricted” for 2 1/2 years. If the employee leaves during the “restriction period”, the Company has the option to buy back the appreciation units at cost. However, if the employee leaves after the “restriction period”, the Company has the option to buy back the appreciation units based on the appreciated value of the Company.
 
    Appreciation units granted in 2001 were issued with a strike price equal to fair market value and resulted in no compensation expense. For the year ended December 31, 2001 the Company recorded $763,345 in compensation expense attributable to prior year appreciation units grants. At December 31, 2001 the deferred compensation balance was $191,212.
 
    Activity with respect to the units of KMV is summarized below:

  a.   Commitments
 
      Operating Leases
The Company leases office space under noncancelable operating leases expiring at various dates through September 2005. Rent expense for the year ended December 31, 2001 was approximately $1,600,000. At December 31, 2001 future minimum annual payments, under the Company’s operating leases are as follows:

         
Year ending December 31,
       
    2002
  $ 1,409,152  
    2003
    1,452,743  
    2004
    1,497,859  
    2005
    1,084,322  
 
   
 
        Total
  $ 5,444,076  
 
   
 

      Employee Benefit Plan
The Company sponsors a Simplified Employee Pension – Individual Retirement Account Plan (the Plan) in which all qualifying employees are eligible to participate. The Plan allows for discretionary employer contributions up to statutory limits, which were the smaller of 15% of compensation or $25,500 for the year ended December 31, 2001. Employee contributions are not allowable under the Plan. Contribution expense under the Plan was approximately $1,733,000 and was unpaid at December 31, 2001.
 
  b.   Contingencies
 
      On February 11, 2002 after the expiration of an exclusive negotiating period with a potential buyer of the Company, the Company entered into a definitive agreement to be acquired by Moody’s. As a result, the Company has received letters from a counterparty that had been negotiating a possible transaction with the Company, in which the counterparty has demanded reimbursement for its costs of approximately $1,000,000 in connection with such negotiations.. The Company believes it has no obligation to reimburse any of such costs but plans to explore settlement, but if a favorable settlement cannot be reached then the Company will contest any litigation. The Company believes that any likely resolution of this claim will have no material adverse effect on the operation of the Company’s business. Other than the preceding, the Company is not involved in other legal proceedings, claims and litigation arising in the ordinary course of business.

6.   Subsequent Event
 
    A distribution to stockholders and members was made on January 11, 2002 in an aggregate amount of $400,000. It was distributed on a pro-rata basis to holders of all outstanding base and appreciation units and approximated $0.03544 per unit.
 
    On February 11, 2002, Moody’s Corporation announced that it reached a definitive agreement to acquire the Company in an all cash transaction for $210,000,000.
 
    On February 15, 2002, incentive awards were granted to employees to be paid out at the time of closing of the Company’s acquisition by Moody’s Corporation. Management estimates the cost of these awards to be $2,600,000.

Principles of
Combination and Basis
of Presentation
  The combined financial statements include operations of KMV LLC, a Delaware Limited Liability Company, and KMV Corporation, a California S-Corporation. As of December 31, 2000, KMV Corporation owned 62% of the voting interest in KMV LLC. Additionally, the eight stockholders of KMV Corporation collectively owned a 23% voting interest in KMV LLC. KMV Corporation has 10,000,000 shares authorized and 6,199,135 shares of common stock issued and outstanding throughout the year ended December 31, 2000. These shares carry no par value.
     
    KMV LLC also has two wholly owned subsidiaries: KMV Europe Limited, located in London, England, and KMV Asia KK, which is located in Tokyo, Japan.
     
    The above entities on a combined basis are referred to herein as KMV or the Company. All material intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated.
     
    The financial statements do not reflect assets that the members of KMV LLC or the stockholders of KMV Corporation may have outside of their interest in the entities, nor any personal obligations, including income taxes of the individual members and stockholders of the respective entities.
     
Nature of Business   KMV is a leading provider of credit risk products for credit risk investors. Headquartered in San Francisco, KMV also has offices in the New York Metropolitan Area, London and Tokyo, serving over 150 clients in 50 countries. KMV’s principal products are:

    CreditEdge- This product is a web-based portfolio management tool that provides daily EDF™ credit measures.
     
    Portfolio Manager- This product is a decision-support tool used for managing the risk and return of a debt portfolio.
     
    Portfolio Pilots – A one-time application of the Portfolio Manager™ software and analysis. It is performed to evaluate the economic benefits of adopting a portfolio management approach to credit and to assess the organizational, management, and infrastructure changes that will need to be made. KMV assists in all phases of a Portfolio Pilot, including data collection, results presentation, and issues evaluation.
     
Property, Equipment
and Depreciation
  Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets, generally three to seven years. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of the estimated life of the asset or the lease term.
     
Software
Development Costs
  Under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 86, Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software to be Sold, Leased, or Otherwise Marketed, certain software development costs incurred subsequent to the establishment of technological feasibility are capitalized and amortized over the estimated lives of the related products. Technological feasibility is established upon the completion of a working model, which is typically demonstrated by an initial beta shipment. The Company has capitalized such costs primarily related to its CreditEdge™ product. These costs are being amortized over a five-year period.
     
Revenue Recognition   KMV earns revenue primarily from the sale of subscriptions to its credit risk analysis products. KMV’s customers may access the Company’s proprietary risk analysis products through software that is either installed on the users’ system or accessed via the Internet. To allow its customers to properly assess risk, KMV provides them with regular updates of market-based variables used in the risk assessment process throughout the life of the subscription. Accordingly, KMV recognizes the entire subscription price as revenue ratably over the life of the subscription in accordance with the provisions

Notes to Financial Statements


     
    of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants Statement of Position No. 97-2, Software Revenue Recognition, that address arrangements that include both software and service elements.
     
    The Company also provides tailored solutions. Revenue from these projects lasting over several months are recognized on the percentage-of-completion method, measured by the percentage of actual costs incurred to date to estimated total costs to be incurred on each contract.
     
Income Taxes   No provision has been made for income tax expense or benefit arising from KMV LLC operations, as the members report their respective share of income or loss on their federal and state tax returns. Income taxes for KMV Corporation are calculated using the asset and liability method specified by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes.
     
Use of Estimates   The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
     
Long-Lived Assets   The Company periodically reviews its long-lived assets for impairment. Whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such an asset may not be recoverable, the Company writes the asset down to its estimated fair value.

1.   Property and Equipment   Property and equipment consists of:
           
  December 31,   2000
 

 
Computer equipment and software
  $ 2,449,749  
 
Furniture and equipment
    949,616

    (640,981 )
 

 
 
  $ 3,682,492  
 

         
2.   Note Payable to Related Party   The Company has an outstanding note payable to a shareholder of KMV Corporation and a member of KMV LLC totaling $238,638 as of December 31, 2000. The note bears interest at the six month LIBOR rate (6.679% at December 31, 2000) and requires semiannual principal payments of $119,319 plus any accrued interest through November 30, 2001.
         
3.   Income Taxes   KMV Corporation has elected to be taxed as an “S” corporation and, therefore, its taxable income is reported on the stockholder’s individual tax returns. As a result, no federal income tax is imposed on KMV Corporation. State income taxes are calculated as 1.5% of taxable income. Income taxes for KMV Corporation in 2000 were insignificant.
         
4.   Ownership Units   Upon the formation of KMV LLC, its founders were granted ownership units referred to as “base units” in exchange for their contribution of assets and other resources.
         
        At the discretion of its Board of Directors, KMV will grant units in KMV LLC to certain employees. These units are referred to as “appreciation units” and provide the holder with a) ownership in KMV LLC and b) the chance to receive a distribution upon the occurrence of a “Capital Event”. A Capital Event, as defined, includes, among other things, the sale of the Company and an initial public offering.
         
        Ownership in KMV LLC provides a holder with voting rights and a proportionate share of net income and distributions in the normal course of business based upon the percentage of units one holds.

KMV

Notes to Financial Statements


         
        Upon the occurrence of a Capital Event, holders of appreciation units are entitled to participate in the resulting gains to the extent that the cash distribution per base unit exceeds the price ascribed to one’s units (referred to as the “strike”)
         
        Appreciation units are generally “restricted” for the first 2 1/2 years. If the employee leaves during the “restriction period”, the Company has the option to buy back the appreciation units at cost. However, if the employee leaves after 2 1/2 years, the Company has the option to buy back the appreciation unit based on the appreciated value of the Company.
         
        The Company records deferred stock compensation expense equal to the excess of the estimated fair value of appreciation units over cost on the date of grant, and amortizes this expense in to income on a pro rata basis over the restriction period, generally 2 1/2 years. For the year ended December 31, 2000, the Company recorded $1,485,734 in deferred stock compensation expense related to new appreciation units granted during the year, and $2,659,144 in compensation expense attributable to outstanding appreciation units. At December 31, 2000, deferred stock compensation was $954,557.
         
        Activity with respect to the units of KMV is summarized below:

        Employee Benefit Plan
         
        The Company sponsors a Simplified Employee Pension – Individual Retirement Accounts Plan in which all qualifying employees are eligible to participate. The Plan allows for discretionary employer contributions up to the statutory limits which were the smaller of 15% of compensation or $25,500. Employee contributions are not allowable under the Plan. Contribution expense under the Plan was approximately $1,082,000 for the year ended December 31, 2000.
         
        Sales and Use Taxes
         
        The Company sells products to financial institutions with operations throughout the United States and the world. In certain instances, the Company has taken the position that it is not required to withhold sales taxes in certain states. Management of the Company believes that any potential adjustment to liability will not have a significant impact to the financial position or operations of the Company.
         
6.   Subsequent Event   Through June 2001, KMV has distributed approximately $1.45 million to the stockholders of KMV Corporation and members of KMV LLC.
         
        On January 1, 2001, the Company granted to employees approximately 1.5 million appreciation units at a strike price of $12.80.
         
7.   Revision   The Company revised personnel and related costs in connection with its grants of appreciation units in 1999 and 2000. As a result of revaluation of the fair market value of the grants, the Company recorded additional expense of $2,659,144 in 2000 to reflect amortization of deferred compensation expense, which reduced net income as originally reported by an equal amount. See additional discussion of the appreciation units at Note 4.

Moody’s Corporation
Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information

On April 12, 2002, Moody’s Corporation (“Moody’s” or the “Company”) acquired KMV, a quantitative credit risk management tools company, in an all cash transaction for $210.0 million. The acquisition will expand the customer base and product offerings of Moody’s credit risk assessment business, which was previously operated by Moody’s Risk Management Services. Moody’s initially funded the transaction with a combination of cash on hand and borrowings of $81 million under its existing bank credit lines. The Company intends to pursue more permanent financing for the acquisition in order to retain open bank credit lines and to use cash flow from operations for share repurchases.

The unaudited pro forma consolidated statements of income of the Company for the three months ended March 31, 2002 and for the year ended December 31, 2001, illustrate the effect of the acquisition of KMV as if it had been consummated on January 1, 2001. The unaudited pro forma consolidated balance sheet of the Company as of March 31, 2002 illustrates the effect of the acquisition of KMV as if it had been consummated on March 31, 2002. All material nonrecurring charges or credits and related tax effects resulting directly from the acquisition have been excluded from the unaudited pro forma financial information. See page 29 for a complete listing of pro forma adjustments and explanations.

The acquisition has been accounted for as a purchase. The purchase price allocation included herein is preliminary, however, management does not believe that the final purchase price allocation will be materially different from the preliminary allocation. No adjustment has been included in the pro forma financial information for any anticipated cost savings or operational synergies.

This unaudited pro forma consolidated financial information should be read in conjunction with: (i) the historical financial statements of KMV (including the notes thereto) contained herein (ii) the historical financial statements of Moody’s contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2001 and (iii) the historical unaudited consolidated financial statements of Moody’s contained in the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2002.

This unaudited pro forma consolidated financial information is presented for comparative purposes only and is not intended to be indicative of the actual consolidated results of operations or consolidated financial position that would have been achieved had the transaction been consummated as of the dates indicated above nor does it purport to indicate results that may be attained in the future.

NOTES TO MOODY’S CORPORATION UNAUDITED PRO FORMA
CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

a)   To reflect the funding of the KMV acquisition: $127 million was paid using Moody’s cash on hand and $81 million was funded with borrowings under Moody’s existing bank credit lines. The remaining $2 million was withheld subject to the finalization of a closing date working capital adjustment.
 
b)   To reflect the preliminary allocation of the $210 million purchase price, plus $3.3 million in Moody’s transaction costs (primarily professional fees). The following table summarizes the estimated fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the date of acquisition.

At April 12, 2002

Current assets
  $ 21.0  
Property and equipment, net
    4.6  
Intangible assets:
       
     Customer list (12-year life)
    50.7  
     Trade secrets (not subject to amortization)
    25.5  
     Other intangibles (5.2-year weighted average life)

Liabilities

Net assets acquired
  $ 213.3  
 
   
 

    In accordance with SFAS No. 142 “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets”, the $117.3 million of acquired goodwill will not be amortized. Included in other assets is $16 million of acquired software (useful life of 5 years).
 
c)   To reflect (i) the elimination of KMV’s accumulated deficit balance at April 12, 2002 ($3.6 million); (ii) the elimination of $2.9 million in nonrecurring charges incurred by KMV resulting directly from the transaction, see item “f’ below; and (iii) the write-off of $1.1 million of acquired in-process research and development.
 
d)   To record amortization expense for the period related to acquired intangible assets and software.
 
e)   To record financing costs for the transaction for the applicable period, consisting of interest expense that would have been incurred on the $81 million of bank borrowings and interest income that would have been foregone on the balance of the purchase price, using the applicable current rates at April 12, 2002. Had the interest rate used varied by 1/8% the effect on net income for each of the periods presented would have been less than $0.1 million. The Company intends to pursue more permanent financing for the acquisition in order to retain open bank credit lines and to use cash flow from operations for share repurchases, which could result in interest expense in the future that is greater than that reflected in the unaudited pro forma consolidated financial information.
 
f)   To eliminate $2.9 million of nonrecurring charges incurred by KMV resulting directly from the transaction, $0.3 million of these charges related to consulting and legal expenses and the remainder related to bonuses paid to KMV employees upon closing of the transaction. Of these amounts, $0.1 million had been paid as of March 31, 2002.
 
g)   To reflect (i) the elimination of the accrual for KMV’s nonrecurring charges resulting directly from the transaction ($2.8 million); (ii) the accrual of Moody’s transaction costs ($3.3 million); and (iii) the accrual of the working capital holdback amount ($2.0 million).
 
h)   To adjust the income tax provision for the net impact of the pro forma adjustments and consolidation of KMV, using Moody’s effective tax rate for the period.
