Explanation of Responses:

(1) On August 30, 2002 (the "Closing Date"), at the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Agreement for the Purchase and Sale of Assets (the "Agreement"), dated July 24, 2002, by and between PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP ("PwC") and FTI Consulting, Inc. ("FTI"), pursuant to the Agreement, PwC was entitled to receive 3,000,000 shares of FTI common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the "Shares"), as partial consideration for the sale of its Business Recovery Services ("BRS") business to FTI. However, on the Closing Date, PwC received only 1,823,785 Shares and the ownership of the remaining 1,176,215 Shares (the "Partner Shares"), over which PwC momentarily had investment and voting power pursuant to Rule 13d-3(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Act"), was transferred directly to the individual BRS partners pursuant to preexisting agreements for their withdrawal from PwC. Once ownership of the Partner Shares was transferred directly to the individual BRS partners on the Closing Date, PwC ceased to have investment and voting power over those Partner Shares. At no point in time, however, did PwC have a pecuniary interest (as defined in Rule 16a-1(a)(2)(i) of the Act) in the Partner Shares. As a result of the August 30th transfer, PwC is no longer a 10% owner (since it owns only 7.6%) and as such will not be filing any Forms 4 unless or until it exceeds 10% and conducts a transaction thereafter.
