NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.	BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND CONSOLIDATION

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by Digitas Inc. (the “Company”) in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. They do not include all of the information and footnotes required for complete financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2004 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for that period. The accompanying unaudited financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting solely of normal, recurring adjustments) which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of results of operations for the interim periods presented. The results for these periods are not necessarily indicative of the results for any future reporting period, including the fiscal year. The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the balance sheet and revenue and expenses for the period. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

Monetary assets and liabilities of the Company’s foreign branch are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate in effect at period-end and nonmonetary assets and liabilities are remeasured at historical exchange rates. Income and expenses are remeasured at the weighted-average exchange rate for the period. Transaction gains and losses are reflected in selling, general and administrative expenses in the statements of operations.

Reclassifications

Certain previously reported amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.

The Company reclassified its auction rate securities from cash and cash equivalents to short-term investments as of September 30, 2004 and for all prior periods. As of December 31, 2003, the Company held approximately $19.8 million of these auction rate securities, which were subsequently reclassified to short-term investments. The Company originally reported $73.6 million of cash and cash equivalents at December 31, 2003. These reclassifications had no impact on the results of operations of the Company.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

The Company maintains an allowance for estimated losses resulting from the inability of customers to make required payments. The collectibility of outstanding customer invoices is continuously assessed. In estimating the allowance, the Company considers factors such as historical collections, a customer’s credit-worthiness, age of the receivable balance both individually and in the aggregate, and general economic conditions that may affect a customer’s ability to pay. Actual customer collections could differ from estimates, requiring additional adjustments to the allowance for doubtful accounts.

In September 2005, Delta Air Lines filed voluntary petitions for reorganization under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. The Company recorded a $3.2 million charge to professional services costs related to estimated exposure on collectibility of receivables due from Delta as of the bankruptcy filing date for services performed prior to that date. The Company has continued to provide services to Delta subsequent to their bankruptcy filing. The Company currently expects that it will receive payment for all services provided to Delta subsequent to their bankruptcy filing.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 123 (revised 2004) “Share-Based Payment,” or SFAS No. 123(R). SFAS No. 123(R) replaces SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation,” supersedes Accounting Principles Board (“APB”)

Page 6

Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,” and amends SFAS No. 95, “Statement of Cash Flows.” SFAS No. 123(R) requires that all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the financial statements based on their fair values. Under the guidance of APB Opinion No. 25, compensation expense was recognized only to the extent the fair value of common stock exceeded the stock option exercise price at the measurement date. In April 2005, the Securities and Exchange Commission announced that it would provide for a phased-in implementation for SFAS No. 123(R). The Company will adopt the provisions of SFAS No. 123(R) in the first quarter of 2006. Compensation expense calculated upon adoption of SFAS No. 123(R) may differ from pro-forma amounts currently disclosed within the Company’s footnotes based on changes in the fair value of its common stock, changes in the number of stock options granted or the terms of such stock options, the treatment of tax benefits and changes in interest rates or other factors. The Company is in the process of evaluating the alternative methods of adoption and the impact that the implementation guidance and revisions included in SFAS No. 123(R) will have on its financial position and results of operations.

In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 153, “Exchanges of Nonmonetary Assets,” an amendment of APB Opinion No. 29, “Accounting for Nonmonetary Transactions.” SFAS No. 153 requires that exchanges of nonmonetary assets be measured based on the fair value of the assets exchanged. Further, it expands the exception for nonmonetary exchanges of similar productive assets to nonmonetary assets that do not have commercial substance. The provisions of SFAS No. 153 were effective for nonmonetary asset exchanges beginning in the third quarter of 2005. The adoption of the provisions of SFAS No. 153 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

2.	BUSINESS ACQUISITION

On October 15, 2004, the Company acquired Modem Media, Inc. (“Modem”), a Norwalk, Connecticut based company that provides interactive marketing strategy services in a stock-for-stock transaction. Modem had approximately 250 employees and also had offices in London and San Francisco. The Company and Modem agreed to the transaction based on their belief that it would provide added value to their respective shareholders resulting from a combined entity with stronger long-term growth potential due to an increased scope of services, strengthened shared client relationships, a common strategic focus on delivering client value and operating synergies. The aggregate purchase price was approximately $182.4 million, which consisted of 19,244,308 shares of the Company’s common stock with a value of $168.8 million, or $8.77 per share, and stock options assumed with a fair value of $13.6 million. In addition, the Company recorded merger-related transaction costs of $5.1 million. Each outstanding share of Modem common stock was exchanged for 0.70 shares of the Company’s common stock, and each outstanding option to purchase Modem common stock was assumed by the Company and is exercisable into the Company’s common stock at the same exchange ratio. Common stock issued as consideration for this transaction was valued at the average closing price on the two days before the announcement date through the two days after the announcement date of the acquisition. The results of Modem since October 15, 2004 have been included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Modem operates as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Digitas Inc. and is included as part of the Company’s only segment.

In connection with the acquisition, the Company recorded $154.8 million of goodwill and other intangible assets. The following table summarizes the preliminary purchase price allocation using estimated fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the date of acquisition:


	As of October 15, 2004 (in thousands)
Cash and cash equivalents	$	27,176
Short-term investments		33,687
Current assets		75,821
Property and equipment		5,256
Goodwill		120,078

	As of October 15, 2004 (in thousands)
Other intangible assets		34,700
Other noncurrent assets		1,399

Total assets acquired		237,254
Current liabilities		31,463
Other long-term liabilities		23,405

Total liabilities assumed		54,868

Net assets acquired	$	182,386

Of the $34.7 million of acquired intangible assets, $6.7 million was assigned to a registered trademark, which has an indefinite life and is not subject to amortization, and $28.0 million was assigned to a customer base that is being amortized over its estimated useful life of ten years.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2005, the Company recorded purchase price allocation adjustments of $2.9 million to reduce goodwill. Of the $2.9 million of adjustments, $0.3 million represented a reversal of a portion of the liability recorded in connection with Modem’s guarantee of the CentrPort operating lease (see Footnote 12 for further description), $0.8 million related to a decrease in the restructuring accrual to reflect the remaining workforce and related costs expected to be paid, $1.2 million related to the reversal of a portion of the restructuring accrual to account for a sublease entered into during the second quarter of 2005, $0.3 million for a change in assumptions in the usefulness of certain floor space and $0.3 million represented additional accruals recorded for other pre-acquisition liabilities. Each of these adjustments relate to liabilities acquired in the Modem acquisition. The Company anticipates that it will finalize the purchase price allocation during the three months ended December 31, 2005.

3.	GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS

Goodwill

The changes in the carrying amount of the goodwill for the nine months ended September 30, 2005, consist of a $2.9 million reduction relating to purchase price allocation adjustments on the Modem acquisition (see Footnote 2).

Other Intangible Assets

Other intangible assets consist of the following (in thousands):


	September 30, 2005							December 31, 2004
	Cost		Accumulated Amortization			Net Book Value		Cost		Accumulated Amortization			Net Book Value
Customer base	$	28,000	$	(2,683	)	$	25,317	$	28,000	$	(583	)	$	27,417
Trademark		6,700		—			6,700		6,700		—			6,700
Favorable leases		4,234		(4,234	)		—		4,234		(4,234	)		—

	$	38,934	$	(6,917	)	$	32,017	$	38,934	$	(4,817	)	$	34,117

Amortization of other intangible assets was approximately $0.7 million and $0.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively. Amortization of other intangible assets was approximately $2.1 million and $0.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively. Amortization expense for the years ending December 31, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008 and 2009 is expected to be $2.8 million per year.

Page 8

4.	NET INCOME PER SHARE

Basic and diluted earnings per share are computed in accordance SFAS No. 128, “Earnings per Share.” SFAS No. 128 requires both basic earnings per share, which is based on the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding, and diluted earnings per share, which is based on the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding and all dilutive potential common equivalent shares outstanding. The dilutive effect of stock options is determined under the treasury stock method using the average market price for the period. Common equivalent shares are included in the per share calculations where the effect of their inclusion would be dilutive.

For the three months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004, the share numbers used in computing diluted earnings per share included the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding plus 8,346,000 and 9,516,000 dilutive common equivalent shares outstanding, respectively, consisting of stock options and warrants. For the nine months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004, the share numbers used in computing diluted earnings per share included the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding plus 8,531,000 and 10,969,000 dilutive common equivalent shares outstanding, respectively, consisting of stock options and warrants.

5.	STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

The Company applies the intrinsic method of accounting under Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees”, and related interpretations, in accounting for its employee stock-based award plans. The Company provides pro forma disclosures of compensation expense under the fair value method of SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation,” and SFAS No. 148, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation–Transition and Disclosure.”

Had compensation cost for the Company’s stock-based award plans been determined using the fair value method at the grant dates, the effect on the Company’s net income and earnings per share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004, would have been as follows: (in thousands, except per share data)


	Three Months Ended September 30,						Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2005			2004			2005			2004
Net income, as reported	$	7,955		$	8,185		$	30,200		$	23,175

DEBT

In August 2005, the Company entered into an Amended and Restated Revolving Credit Agreement. The August 2005 credit facility replaced the Company’s previously existing credit facility, originally dated July 25, 2000, which was scheduled to expire in February 2006. The credit facility allows the Company to borrow up to $30 million less any amounts committed under outstanding letters of credit. The credit facility expires in August 2008.

As of September 30, 2005, amounts borrowed under the revolving credit facility bear interest at either the prime rate or at a Eurocurrency rate plus applicable margin of 2.25%. Additionally, the Company is required to pay a commitment fee of 0.25% of the average daily unused amount of the revolving credit facility and a letter of credit fee of 2.25% of the face amount of outstanding letters of credit. Under the terms of the credit facility, the Company must comply with various financial and non-financial covenants. As of September 30, 2005, the Company was in compliance with all of its covenants.

Borrowings under the credit facility are secured by substantially all the assets of the Company and pledges of shares and equity interests of certain of the Company’s subsidiaries. At September 30, 2005, the Company had no borrowings under the revolving credit facility and approximately $10.4 million outstanding under standby letters of credit, leaving approximately $19.6 million available for future borrowings.

9.	RESTRUCTURING AND RELATED CHARGES

During 2002, the Company recorded restructuring expenses totaling $47.1 million, consisting of $3.3 million for workforce reduction and related costs and $43.8 million for the consolidation of facilities and abandonment of related leasehold improvements. These charges were recorded to further align the Company’s cost structure with changing market conditions and to update estimates originally made in 2001 for current information.

During 2003, the Company made significant progress towards eliminating its excess real estate, resulting in the recognition of $4.1 million of restructuring income related to the reversal of restructuring expense initially recorded in 2001 and 2002. The restructuring expense was reversed because of savings of $7.2 million from higher sublease income than anticipated in the Company’s original estimates. The $7.2 million in savings was offset by revisions in estimates of future sublease rates and terms for remaining leases resulting in an increase in expected future obligations of $3.1 million.

During 2004, the Company recorded restructuring expenses totaling $1.2 million, consisting solely of workforce reduction and related costs. The Company reduced its workforce by approximately 50 people, primarily in its Boston office. This reduction was primarily in response to an announcement in July 2004 by AT&T Corp. that it would discontinue its marketing of local and long-distance telephone services to consumers.

During 2004, the Company continued to make progress towards eliminating its excess real estate obligations as it was able to terminate its lease agreement in London, terminate its lease agreement for one restructured floor in Boston and sublease previously restructured floors in other markets. In connection with the Modem acquisition, the Company acquired accrued restructuring balances of $16.9 million during the fourth quarter of 2004. Approximately $4.6 million of this amount was workforce related for payments of severance, which was recorded in connection with the acquisition, and $12.3 million was related to Modem real estate obligations, net of estimated sublease income, of which approximately $1.0 million was recorded in connection with the acquisition. Modem has excess office space in Norwalk, San Francisco and London.

The Company continues to evaluate alternatives and monitor its restructuring accrual on a quarterly basis to reflect new developments as well as prevailing economic conditions in the real estate markets in which the Company leases office space. In the nine months ended September 30, 2005, the Company recorded an adjustment to the purchase price allocation for the Modem acquisition of $0.8 million to decrease the acquired restructuring accrual to reflect the remaining workforce and related costs expected to be paid.

In addition, the Company recorded restructuring activity related to new developments and conditions in the real estate markets during the nine months ended September 30, 2005. The Company recorded restructuring expense totaling $3.0 million related to additional space identified in the San Francisco and Norwalk offices. The facility charge represents an estimate of future obligations under the terms of the leases for the excess space less anticipated income from subleasing activities. The space in San Francisco was included in the restructuring accrual as a result of the consolidation of the Company’s local offices subsequent to the Modem acquisition. The Company entered into a sublease agreement for two of the floors in the Norwalk office and reduced the accrual by $1.4 million to reflect the sublease income expected under the terms of the sublease. Of the $1.4 million adjustment, approximately $0.2 million was recorded as a portion of the reduction in restructuring expense discussed above, and $1.2 million was a reduction to goodwill as the initial restructuring activity was recorded in connection with purchase accounting. In addition, the Company determined that one floor in its New York office, which was initially included in the restructuring accrual in 2001, and space on one of the restructured floors in the Norwalk office should be returned to operations due to changes in business as well as the relocation of a former Modem Media client to the New York office. The remaining liabilities of $3.0 million related to the New York space and $0.3 million related to the Norwalk space were removed from the accrual during the nine months ended September 30, 2005. The adjustment for the New York office space was recorded as a reduction in restructuring expense. The adjustment for the Norwalk space was recorded as a reduction to goodwill since the initial restructuring activity was recorded in connection with purchase accounting.

Sublease estimates, which were made in consultation with the Company’s real estate advisers, were based on current and projected conditions at the time in the real estate and economic markets in which the Company determined it had excess office space. At September 30, 2005, approximately 48,000 square feet of office space identified as excess space remained available for sublease.

Page 11

At September 30, 2005, the Company’s restructuring accrual totaled $18.6 million. Approximately $0.5 million of this balance is related to final payments of severance obligations and will be substantially utilized in 2005 and the beginning of 2006. The remaining $18.1 million is related to remaining real estate lease obligations net of expected sublease income. The Company believes the restructuring accrual of $18.6 million is adequate to cover these remaining obligations.

The following is a summary of restructuring activity since December 31, 2004 (dollars in thousands):


	Accrued Restructuring at December 31, 2004		Utilization 2005			Adjustments 2005			Accrued Restructuring at September 30, 2005
Workforce reduction and related costs	$	3,917	$	(2,850	)	$	(592	)	$	475
Consolidation of facilities		30,062		(10,230	)		(1,715	)		18,117

Total	$	33,979	$	(13,080	)	$	(2,307	)	$	18,592

For the three months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004, net cash expenditures related to restructuring activities were $1.5 million and $2.9 million, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004, net cash expenditures related to restructuring activities were $13.1 million and $7.7 million, respectively. As of September 30, 2005, total remaining net cash expenditures related to restructuring activities were $18.6 million. Approximately $1.1 million in net cash expenditures are expected in the fourth quarter of 2005, and the remaining net cash expenditures of approximately $17.5 million, related mainly to real estate rental obligations, over the following 6 years.

10.	SHAREHOLDERS’ EQUITY

Stock Repurchase Program

In November 2003, the Board of Directors authorized the Company to repurchase up to $20 million of common stock between December 13, 2003 and June 30, 2005 under a common stock repurchase program. In July 2004, the Board of Directors increased the Company’s stock repurchase program from $20 million to $70 million and extended the term through December 31, 2005. In the three months ended September 30, 2005, the Company repurchased 850,000 shares of common stock at an average price of approximately $11.18 per share, excluding commissions, for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $9.5 million. In the nine months ended September 30, 2005, the Company repurchased 3,244,500 shares of common stock at an average price of approximately $10.42 per share, excluding commissions, for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $34.0 million. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2004, the Company did not repurchase any shares of common stock under this plan. Since the initiation of the repurchase program, the Company has repurchased 4,333,500 shares of common stock at an average price of approximately $9.93 per share, excluding commissions, for an aggregate purchase price of $43.2 million.

Restricted Stock

During the nine months ended September 30, 2005, the Company granted 725,837 shares of restricted common stock to employees and members of the Board of Directors in exchange for $0.01 per share. The intrinsic value of these shares was measured using the closing price on the date of grant. The shares vest at a rate of 50% on the second anniversary of the grant date and 50% on the third anniversary of the grant date. The Company recorded deferred compensation of $7.3 million related to the restricted shares granted in the nine months ended September 30, 2005, and will recognize the compensation expense over the three year vesting period. Approximately $0.7 million and $1.4 million of compensation expense related to the restricted stock was recognized in the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2005.

Page 12

Shareholder Rights Plan

In January 2005, the Board of Directors of the Company adopted a Shareholder Rights Plan, as set forth in the Shareholder Rights Agreement between the Company and the rights agent, the purpose of which is, among other things, to enhance the Board’s ability to protect shareholder interests and to ensure that shareholders receive fair treatment in the event any coercive takeover attempt of the Company is made in the future. The Shareholder Rights Plan could make it more difficult for a third party to acquire, or could discourage a third party from acquiring, the Company or a large block of the Company’s common stock.

In connection with the adoption of the Shareholder Rights Plan, the Board of Directors of the Company declared a dividend distribution of one preferred stock purchase right (a “Right”) for each outstanding share of common stock to stockholders of record as of the close of business on January 26, 2005. In addition, one Right will automatically attach to each share of common stock issued between January 26, 2005 and the distribution date. The Rights currently are not exercisable and are attached to and trade with the outstanding shares of common stock. Under the Shareholder Rights Plan, the Rights become exercisable if a person or group becomes an “acquiring person” by acquiring 15% or more of the outstanding shares of common stock or if a person or group commences a tender offer that would result in that person owning 15% or more of the common stock. If a person or group becomes an “acquiring person,” each holder of a Right (other than the acquiring person) would be entitled to purchase, at the then-current exercise price, such number of shares of the Company’s preferred stock which are equivalent to shares of common stock having a value of twice the exercise price of the Right. If the Company is acquired in a merger or other business combination transaction after any such event, each holder of a Right would then be entitled to purchase, at the then-current exercise price, shares of the acquiring company’s common stock having a value of twice the exercise price of the Right.

11.	CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK

The Company attempts to limit its concentration of credit risk by securing clients with significant assets or liquidity. While the Company enters into written agreements with its clients, such contracts are typically terminable between 30 and 90 days notice. Management believes a loss of any one of its significant clients, the inability of any of its significant clients to make required payments or any significant reduction in the use of its services by a major client could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations. The table below summarizes customers that individually comprise greater than 10% of the Company’s fee revenue.

12.	CONTINGENCIES

Operating Lease Guarantee

Prior to the acquisition of Modem, Modem held an equity method investment in CentrPort, Inc. (“CentrPort”), one of its vendors. As of December 31, 2003, Modem had considered the investment to be fully impaired and recorded a charge to write down the investment balance to zero. At the time of the acquisition, there was no balance related to the investment.

Prior to the acquisition of Modem, Modem’s management had evaluated its potential obligation under the CentrPort lease guarantee and specifically considered the

Page 13

following factors in this regard: (a) CentrPort’s ability to reduce its cash burn rate and preserve cash on hand; (b) the probability that CentrPort would be sold in the near future; (c) the timing as to when CentrPort could potentially default on its lease; (d) the potential for CentrPort to raise additional funds; and (e) the potential for CentrPort to sell its remaining assets / customer base. They noted that in particular, CentrPort continued to be unable to obtain new sources of funding, its operating performance continued to deteriorate and cash on hand continued to decline. As a result, they concluded that an accrual of a loss contingency for the CentrPort lease guarantee was required in accordance with SFAS No. 5 “Accounting for Loss Contingencies,” which states that a loss contingency should be accrued when the loss contingency is probable and such amount is reasonably estimable. Accordingly, as of the time of the acquisition, a $4.8 million liability had previously been recorded by Modem related to this guarantee.

In the second quarter of 2005, the Company became aware that CentrPort’s financial condition had further deteriorated and that its board of directors had approved an assignment for the benefit of creditors, assigning all of CentrPort’s assets to a receiver (the “Receiver”) and appointing the Receiver to sell or otherwise dispose of CentrPort’s assets for the benefit of its creditors. Also in the second quarter of 2005, the Company received a notice from CentrPort’s landlord that it had not received all required rent payments from CentrPort.

At September 30, 2005 Modem continued to be a guarantor for an office lease obligation of CentrPort. As of September 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004, the aggregate remaining base rent and estimated operating expenses due under this lease were $4.2 million and $4.8 million, respectively, subject to adjustment in accordance with the terms of the lease. The balance is scheduled to be reduced by approximately $0.8 million per year through June 30, 2010. During the quarter ended June 30, 2005, the Company paid $64,000 on behalf of CentrPort for a portion of its lease obligations for the second quarter of 2005. During the third quarter of 2005, the Company paid approximately $178,000 on behalf of CentrPort for a portion of its lease obligations for the quarter.

Also during the third quarter of 2005, CentrPort’s assets were sold by the Receiver. After the sale, Modem was informed that rent payments would no longer be made by or on behalf of CentrPort. In order to obtain rights that would help mitigate liability as guarantor, the Company agreed to assume CentrPort’s lease as of October 2005. Accordingly, the Company is now responsible to pay the lease obligation until the space can be leased to a third party or until a settlement is reached with the landlord. The Company is taking all appropriate actions to mitigate its liability.

At September 30, 2005, the Company has a liability for the full remaining balance of the guarantee of $4.2 million included on its balance sheet. The Company’s liability will be offset by its portion of the proceeds received from the Receiver for the sale of CentrPort’s assets and may be further mitigated if the CentrPort space is leased to a third party or if Modem Media and the landlord can reach a settlement on the payment obligations.

13.	LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

From time to time, the Company may be involved in various claims and legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of its business. The Company believes it is not currently a party to any such claims or proceedings, which, if decided adversely to it, would either individually or in the aggregate have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition or results of operations.

Page 14

failed to disclose that the underwriters had engaged in conduct designed to result in undisclosed and excessive underwriters’ compensation in the form of increased brokerage commissions and also that this alleged conduct of the underwriters artificially inflated Digitas Inc.’s stock price in the period after the Offering. The plaintiffs claimed violations of Section 11 of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder by the Securities and Exchange Commission and seek, among other things, damages, statutory compensation and costs of litigation. Effective October 9, 2002, the claims against Digitas Inc.’s officers and directors were dismissed without prejudice. Effective February 19, 2003, the Section 10(b) claims against Digitas Inc. were dismissed. The terms of a settlement have been tentatively reached between the plaintiffs in the suits and most of the defendants, including Digitas Inc., with respect to the remaining claims. If completed and if then approved by the court, the settlement would dismiss those claims against Digitas Inc. and is expected to result in no material liability to it. Digitas Inc. believes that the claims against it are without merit and, if they are not dismissed as part of a settlement, intends to defend them vigorously. Management currently believes that resolving these matters will not have a material adverse impact on the Company’s financial position or its results of operations; however, litigation is inherently uncertain and there can be no assurances as to the ultimate outcome or effect of these actions.

Modem is a party to stockholder class action law suits filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. Beginning in August 2001, several stockholder class action complaints were filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York against Modem, several of its officers and directors, and five underwriters of its initial public offering (the “Modem Offering”). The purported class actions are all brought on behalf of purchasers of Modem’s common stock since the date of the Modem Offering. The plaintiffs allege, among other things, that Modem’s prospectus, incorporated in the Registration Statement on Form S-1 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, was materially false and misleading because it failed to disclose that the underwriters had engaged in conduct designed to result in undisclosed and excessive underwriters’ compensation in the form of increased brokerage commissions and also that this alleged conduct of the underwriters artificially inflated Modem’s stock price in the period after the Modem Offering. The plaintiffs claim violations of Sections 11 and 15 of the Securities Act of 1933 and Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder by the Securities and Exchange Commission and seek, among other things, damages, statutory compensation and costs of litigation. The terms of a settlement have been tentatively reached between the plaintiffs in the suits and most of the defendants, including Modem. If completed and if then approved by the court, the settlement would dismiss the claims against Modem and the individual defendants and is expected to result in no material liability to the Company. The Company believes that the claims against Modem are without merit and, if they are not dismissed as part of a settlement, intends to defend them vigorously. Management currently believes that resolving these matters will not have a material adverse impact on the Company’s financial position or its results of operations; however, litigation is inherently uncertain and there can be no assurances as to the ultimate outcome or effect of these actions.

Item 2.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Overview

Digitas Inc. is a relationship marketing services provider offering strategic and marketing services that drive measurable acquisition, cross-sell, loyalty, affinity and customer care engines across digital and direct media for world-leading marketers.

We derive substantially all of our fee revenue from the performance of professional services. We recognize revenue earned under time and materials contracts as services are provided based upon hours worked and agreed-upon hourly rates. We recognize revenue earned under fixed-price contracts, such as consulting arrangements, using the proportional performance method based on the ratio of costs incurred to estimates of total expected project costs in order to determine the amount of revenue earned to date. Some contracts contain provisions for performance incentives. That contingent revenue is recognized in the period in which the contingency is resolved.

Page 15

Because we derive substantially all of our revenue from the hourly billings of our employees, our utilization of those employees is one key indicator that we use to measure our operating performance. We calculate utilization by dividing the total number of billable hours worked by our billable employees during the measurement period by the number of hours available to be worked during that period. Utilization was 65% and 62% for the quarter ended September 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively. Historically, our largest relationships have the highest utilization rates, as we are able to more efficiently use resources to serve the client demand. As we are able to scale additional client relationships, utilization rates should increase.

On October 15, 2004, we acquired Modem Media, Inc. (“Modem”), a Norwalk, Connecticut based company that provides interactive marketing strategy services in a stock-for-stock transaction. On the date of the acquisition, Modem had approximately 250 employees and maintained offices in London, San Francisco and Norwalk. The aggregate purchase price was approximately $182.4 million and was accounted for under the purchase method of accounting. Each outstanding share of Modem common stock was exchanged for 0.70 shares of Digitas Inc.’s common stock, and each outstanding option to purchase Modem common stock was assumed by Digitas Inc. and is exercisable into our common stock at the same exchange ratio. The results of Modem since October 15, 2004, are included in our consolidated financial statements. Modem operates as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Digitas Inc. and is included as part of our only segment.

In connection with the acquisition, we recorded $154.8 million of goodwill and other intangible assets. The following table summarizes the preliminary purchase price allocation using estimated fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the date of acquisition:


	As of October 15, 2004 (in thousands)
Cash and cash equivalents	$	27,176
Short-term investments		33,687
Current assets		75,821
Property and equipment		5,256
Goodwill		120,078
Other intangible assets		34,700
Other noncurrent assets		1,399

Total assets acquired		237,254
Current liabilities		31,463
Other long-term liabilities		23,405

Total liabilities assumed		54,868

Net assets acquired	$	182,386

During the nine months ended September 30, 2005, we recorded purchase price allocation adjustments of $2.9 million to reduce goodwill. Of the $2.9 million of adjustments, $0.3 million represented a reversal of a portion of the liability recorded in connection with Modem’s guarantee of the CentrPort operating lease (see Footnote 12 for further description), $0.8 million related to a decrease in the restructuring accrual to reflect the remaining workforce and related costs expected to be paid, $1.2 million related to the reversal of a portion of the restructuring accrual to account for a sublease entered into during the second quarter of 2005, $0.3 million for a change in assumptions in the usefulness of certain floor space and $0.3 million represented additional accruals recorded for other pre-acquisition liabilities. Each of these adjustments relate to liabilities acquired in the Modem

Page 16

acquisition. We anticipate that we will finalize the purchase price allocation during the three months ended December 31, 2005.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004) “Share-Based Payment,” or SFAS No. 123(R). SFAS No. 123(R) replaces SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation,” supersedes APB Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,” and amends SFAS No. 95, “Statement of Cash Flows.” SFAS No. 123(R) requires that all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, be recognized in the financial statements based on their fair values. Under the guidance of APB Opinion No. 25, compensation expense was recognized only to the extent the fair value of common stock exceeded the stock option exercise price at the measurement date. In April 2005, the Securities and Exchange Commission announced that it would provide for a phased-in implementation for SFAS No. 123(R). We will adopt the provisions of SFAS No. 123(R) in the first quarter of 2006. Compensation expense calculated upon adoption of SFAS No. 123(R) may differ from pro-forma amounts currently disclosed within our footnotes based on changes in the fair value of our common stock, changes in the number of stock options granted or the terms of such stock options, the treatment of tax benefits and changes in interest rates or other factors. We are in the process of evaluating the alternative methods of adoption and the impact that the implementation guidance and revisions included in SFAS No. 123(R) will have on our financial position and results of operations.

In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 153, “Exchanges of Nonmonetary Assets,” an amendment of APB Opinion No. 29, “Accounting for Nonmonetary Transactions.” SFAS No. 153 requires that exchanges of nonmonetary assets be measured based on the fair value of the assets exchanged. Further, it expands the exception for nonmonetary exchanges of similar productive assets to nonmonetary assets that do not have commercial substance. The provisions of SFAS No. 153 were effective for nonmonetary asset exchanges occurring beginning in the third quarter of 2005. The adoption of the provisions of SFAS No. 153 did not have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amount of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. We review and update these estimates, including those related to revenue recognition, the allowance for doubtful accounts, goodwill and other intangible assets, stock-based compensation and restructuring, on an ongoing basis. We base our estimates on historical experience, and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Among other things, these estimates form the basis for judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

For a detailed discussion of our critical accounting policies and estimates see our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the Year Ended December 31, 2004, Item 7 Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, “Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates.”

Deferred Rent

Deferred rent consists of step rent and tenant improvement allowances from landlords related to the Company’s operating leases for its facilities. Step rent represents the difference between actual operating lease payments due and straight-line rent expense, which is recorded by the Company over the term of the lease, including the build-out period. The amount of the difference is recorded as a deferred credit in the early periods of the lease, when cash payments are generally lower than straight-line rent expense, and is reduced in the later periods of the lease when payments begin to exceed the straight-line expense. Tenant allowances from landlords for tenant improvements are generally comprised of cash received from the landlord as part of the negotiated terms of the lease. These cash payments are recorded as a

Page 17

deferred credit from landlords that is amortized into income (through lower rent expense) over the term (including the build-out period) of the applicable lease.

Results of Operations

COMPARISON OF THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2005 AND 2004

Revenue. Total revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2005 increased by $43.8 million, or 48%, to $134.3 million from $90.5 million for the same period of 2004. Total fee revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2005 increased by $25.7 million, or 43%, to $85.5 million from $59.9 million for the same period in 2004. The increases in total revenue and fee revenue are primarily due to the acquisition of Modem Media in October 2004, as well as an increase in demand for our services. These increases were partially offset by a decline in revenue from one of our significant customers, AT&T, which is described further below. The increase in total revenue includes an increase in pass-through revenue of $18.2 million, or 59%, from the three months ended September 30, 2004. The increase in pass-through revenue is primarily due to an increase in media programs and production costs by our clients.

We attempt to limit our concentration of credit risk by securing clients with significant assets or liquidity. While we enter into written agreements with our clients, most of these contracts are terminable by the client without penalty on 30 to 90 days written notice. For the three months ended September 30, 2005, two clients, American Express and General Motors, comprised greater than 10% of our total fee revenue, with 28% and 21% of our total fee revenue, respectively. For the three months ended September 30, 2004, three clients, General Motors, American Express and AT&T, comprised greater than 10% of our total fee revenue, with 24%, 24% and 14% of our total fee revenue, respectively. In July 2004, AT&T announced that it would discontinue its marketing of local and long-distance telephone services to consumers. As a result of AT&T’s decision, AT&T notified us of its intent to terminate our services with respect to the marketing of local and long-distance telephone services to consumers. We continue to provide services to other business units within AT&T. Under the terms of our agreement, AT&T was required to make continued payments with respect to our services. In the three months ended September 30, 2005, we recognized approximately $1.2 million of fee revenue related to these payments. In the three months ended September 30, 2004, we recorded approximately $3.8 million of fee revenue related to these payments.

In September 2005, Delta Air Lines filed voluntary petitions for reorganization under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. We recorded a $3.2 million charge to professional services costs related to estimated exposure on collectibility of receivables due from Delta as of the bankruptcy filing date for services performed prior to that date. We have continued to provide services to Delta subsequent to their bankruptcy filing. We currently expect that we will receive payment for all services provided to Delta subsequent to their bankruptcy filing.

Professional services costs. Professional services costs for the three months ended September 30, 2005 increased by $18.7 million, or 56%, to $52.1 million from $33.4 million in the same period of 2004. Professional services costs represented 61% of fee revenue in the three months ended September 30, 2005 compared to 56% in the three months ended September 30, 2004. The increase in professional services costs was the result of the addition of over 400 billable employees since the third quarter of 2004, including employees from the acquisition of Modem Media in the fourth quarter of 2004 as well as continued hiring throughout 2004 and 2005 to meet increased client demand. As discussed above, we recorded a $3.2 million charge to professional services costs related to estimated exposure on collectibility of receivables due from Delta Air Lines. Professional services costs as a percentage of fee revenue increased due to the charge recorded for estimated exposure on collectibility of receivables due from Delta. We currently anticipate that professional services costs as a percentage of fee revenue will decrease from the levels during the third quarter of 2005.

Pass-through expenses. Pass-through expenses are reimbursable costs incurred by Digitas on behalf of our clients. Pass-through expenses include payments to vendors for media and production services and postage and travel-related expenses. Pass-through expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2005 increased by

Page 18

$18.2 million, or 59%, to $48.8 million from $30.6 million in the same period of 2004. The increase in pass-through expenses was attributable to increased media programs and production costs for our clients during the three months ended September 30, 2005 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2004. Pass-through expenses are offset by pass-through revenue.

Selling, general and administrative expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $8.3 million, or 50%, to $25.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2005, from $16.7 million in the same period of 2004. The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses is primarily comprised of $2.9 million in compensation primarily related to the addition of non-billable employees in connection with the acquisition of Modem in October 2004 and to executive bonuses, $3.6 million in rent and office expenses primarily related to Modem’s office space in Norwalk, London and San Francisco, as well as the recognition of rent expense beginning in March 2005 on our new office space in Boston which we began to occupy in September 2005. In addition, depreciation expense increased by $0.8 million and employee placement fees and relocation expenses increased by $0.4 million as compared to the same period last year. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased slightly as a percentage of fee revenue to 29% in the three months ended September 30, 2005 and as compared to 28% of fee revenue in the three months ended September 30, 2004. We currently expect that for the remainder of 2005 selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of fee revenue will remain consistent with levels during the third quarter of 2005.

Restructuring expenses. No restructuring expenses were recorded during the three months ended September 30, 2005. During the three months ended September 30, 2004, we recorded restructuring expenses totaling $1.2 million, consisting solely of workforce reduction and related costs. In the third quarter of 2004, we reduced our workforce by approximately 50 people, primarily in our Boston office. This reduction was primarily in response to an announcement in July 2004 by AT&T that it would discontinue its marketing of local and long-distance telephone services to consumers.

Stock-based compensation. Stock-based compensation for the three months ended September 30, 2005 increased by $0.2 million, or 40%, to $0.8 million from $0.6 million in the same period of 2004. The increase is primarily due to the grant of 725,837 shares of restricted common stock to employees and members of our Board of Directors in the second and third quarters of 2005. The shares vest at a rate of 50% on the second anniversary of the grant date and 50% on the third anniversary of the grant date. We recognized approximately $0.7 million of compensation expense related to the restricted stock during the three months ended September 30, 2005. The remaining deferred compensation at September 30, 2005, relates to the restricted stock and unvested stock options assumed in the acquisition of Modem Media and will continue to be expensed through 2008.

Amortization of intangible assets. Amortization of intangible assets increased to $0.7 million in the three months ended September 30, 2005, from $0.2 million in the three months ended September 30, 2004. The increase is a result of the Modem Media acquisition in October 2004. In connection with the acquisition, we recorded an intangible asset of $28.0 million for the customer base acquired. This asset is being amortized over ten years.

Provision for income taxes. A provision for income taxes is recorded on an interim basis based on the full year projected effective tax rate. The income tax provision for the three months ended September 30, 2005 reflects a current state income tax expense and a full valuation allowance on net operating loss carryforwards. We believe it is more likely than not, that the deferred tax assets will not be used. If we generate future taxable income against which these tax attributes may be applied, some portion of the valuation allowance previously established will be reversed and result in an income tax benefit in the current period offset by tax expense on the income.

COMPARISON OF NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2005 AND 2004

Revenue. Total revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 increased by $129.9 million, or 47%, to $406.4 million from $276.6 million for the same period in 2004. Total fee revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 increased by

Page 19

$72.8 million, or 40%, to $253.4 million from $180.6 million for the same period in 2004. Some of our contracts include a discretionary bonus provision whereby we earn additional compensation based on our performance as evaluated by our clients. We are typically informed of bonus revenue in the first and second quarters of the fiscal year. For the nine months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004, fee revenue included bonus revenue of $9.9 million and $6.0 million, respectively. The increases in total revenue and fee revenue are primarily due to the acquisition of Modem Media in October 2004, an increase in demand for our services and the increase in bonus revenue earned in 2005. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in revenue from one of our significant customers, AT&T, which is further described below. The increase in total revenue includes an increase in pass-through revenue of $57.1 million, or 59%, from the nine months ended September 30, 2004. The increase in pass-through revenue is primarily due to an increase in media programs and production costs by our clients.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2005, two clients, American Express and General Motors, comprised greater than 10% of our total fee revenue, with 27% and 22% of our total fee revenue, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2004, three clients, General Motors, American Express and AT&T, comprised greater than 10% of our total fee revenue, with 23%, 23% and 15% of our total fee revenue, respectively. In July 2004, AT&T announced that it would discontinue its marketing of local and long-distance telephone services to consumers. As a result of AT&T’s decision, AT&T notified us of its intent to terminate our services with respect to the marketing of local and long-distance telephone services to consumers. We continue to provide services to other business units within AT&T.

Professional services costs. Professional services costs for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 increased by $44.3 million, or 43%, to $147.8 million from $103.5 million in the same period of 2004. Professional services costs represented 58% of fee revenue in the nine months ended September 30, 2005 and 57% of fee revenue in the nine months ended September 30, 2004. The increase in professional services costs was the result of the addition of over 400 billable employees since the third quarter of 2004, including employees from the acquisition of Modem Media in the fourth quarter of 2004 as well as continued hiring throughout 2004 and 2005 to meet increased client demand. As discussed above, we recorded a $3.2 million charge to professional services costs related to estimated exposure on collectibility of receivables due from Delta. Professional services costs as a percentage of fee revenue increased slightly due to the charge recorded for estimated exposure on collectibility of receivables due from Delta.

Pass-through expenses. Pass-through expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 increased by $57.1 million, or 59%, to $153.1 million from $96.0 million in the same period of 2004. The increase in pass-through expenses was attributable to increased media programs and production costs for our clients during the nine months ended September 30, 2005 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2004. Pass-through expenses are offset by pass-through revenue.

Selling, general and administrative expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 increased by $23.0 million, or 45%, to $74.1 million from $51.1 million in the same period of 2004. The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses is primarily comprised of $7.4 million in compensation primarily related to the addition of non-billable employees in connection with the acquisition of Modem in October 2004 and to executive bonuses, $9.4 million in rent and office expenses primarily related to Modem’s office space in Norwalk, London and San Francisco, as well as the recognition of rent expense beginning in March 2005 on our new office space in Boston which we began to occupy in September 2005. In addition, depreciation expense increased by $1.9 million and employee placement fees and relocation expenses increased by $1.7 million as compared to the same period last year. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased slightly to 29% of fee revenue in the nine months ended September 30, 2005 as compared to 28% of fee revenue in the nine months ended September 30, 2004.

Restructuring expenses. No net restructuring expenses were recorded during the nine months ended September 30, 2005. During the nine months ended September 30, 2004, we recorded restructuring expenses totaling $1.2 million, consisting solely of workforce reduction and related costs. In the nine months ended September 30, 2004, we reduced our workforce by approximately 50 people, primarily in our Boston office. This reduction was primarily in response to an announcement in July 2004 by AT&T that it would discontinue its marketing of local and long-distance telephone services to consumers.

Stock-based compensation. Stock-based compensation for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 increased by $0.1 million, or 10%, to $1.6 million from $1.4 million in the same period of 2004. The increase is primarily due to the grant of 725,837 shares of restricted common stock to employees and members of our Board of Directors in the second and third quarters of 2005 offset by a large number of stock options becoming fully expensed in the fourth quarter of 2004. The restricted shares vest at a rate of 50% on the second anniversary of the grant date and 50% on the third anniversary of the grant date. We recognized approximately $1.4 million of compensation expense related to restricted stock during the nine months ended September 30, 2005. The remaining deferred compensation at September 30, 2005, relates to restricted stock grants to employees and unvested stock options assumed in the acquisition of Modem Media and will continue to be expensed through 2008.

Amortization of intangible assets. Amortization of intangible assets increased to $2.1 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2005, from $0.5 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2004. The increase is a result of the Modem Media acquisition in October 2004. In connection with the acquisition, we recorded an intangible asset of $28.0 million for the customer base acquired. This asset is being amortized over ten years.

Provision for income taxes. A provision for income taxes is recorded on an interim basis based on the full year projected effective tax rate. The income tax provision for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 reflects a current state income tax expense and a full valuation allowance on net operating loss carryforwards. We believe it is more likely than not, that the deferred tax assets will not be used. If we generate future taxable income against which these tax attributes may be applied, some portion of the valuation allowance previously established will be reversed and result in an income tax benefit in the current period offset by tax expense on the income.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We fund our operations primarily through cash generated from operations and proceeds from the exercise of common stock options.

Cash and cash equivalents and working capital

Cash and cash equivalents increased from $130.5 million at December 31, 2004 to $154.7 million at September 30, 2005. Cash provided by operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 was $42.4 million. Cash provided by operations was primarily net income for the period plus the result of the timing of payments on accounts payable and an increase in deferred rent related to rent expense on our new Boston office facility offset by an increase in unbilled accounts receivable and a decrease in accrued restructuring at September 30, 2005. Executive bonuses totaling $13.4 million were paid out in the nine months ended September 30, 2005. Cash used in investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 was $4.7 million, consisting of net sales and maturities of short-term investments of $18.5 million, offset by $23.2 million of capital expenditures relating primarily to leasehold improvements for our new Boston office facility and computer equipment purchases. Cash used in financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 was $13.2 million, consisting primarily of payments for the repurchase of common stock of $34.0 million offset by $21.1 million of proceeds from the issuance of 5.3 million shares of common stock through the exercise of employee stock options and the sale of common stock through the employee stock purchase plan.

Credit facility

In August 2005, we entered into an Amended and Restated Revolving Credit Agreement. The August 2005 credit facility replaced our previously existing credit facility, originally dated July 25, 2000, which was scheduled to expire in February 2006. The credit facility allows us to borrow up to $30 million less any amounts committed under outstanding letters of credit. The credit facility expires in August 2008.

As of September 30, 2005, amounts borrowed under the revolving credit facility bear interest at either the prime rate or at a Eurocurrency rate plus applicable margin of 2.25%. Additionally, we are required to pay a commitment fee of 0.25% of the average daily unused amount of the revolving credit facility and a letter of credit fee of 2.25% of the face amount of outstanding letters of credit. Under the terms of the credit facility, we must comply with various financial and non-financial covenants.

As of September 30, 2005, we were in compliance with all of our covenants. Borrowings under the credit facility are secured by substantially all of our assets and pledges of shares and equity interests of certain of our subsidiaries. At September 30, 2005, we had no borrowings under the revolving credit facility and approximately $10.4 million outstanding under standby letters of credit, leaving approximately $19.6 million available for future borrowings.

Stock Repurchase Program

In November 2003, the Board of Directors authorized us to repurchase up to $20 million of common stock between December 13, 2003 and June 30, 2005 under a common stock repurchase program. In July 2004, the Board of Directors increased our stock repurchase program from $20 million to $70 million and extended the term through December 31, 2005. In the three months ended September 30, 2005, we repurchased 850,000 shares of common stock at an average price of approximately $11.18 per share, excluding commissions, for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $9.5 million. In the nine months ended September 30, 2005, we repurchased 3,244,500 shares of common stock at an average price of approximately $10.42 per share, excluding commissions, for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $34.0 million. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2004, we did not repurchase any shares of common stock under this plan. Since the initiation of the repurchase program, we have repurchased 4,333,500 shares of common stock at an average price of approximately $9.93 per share, excluding commissions, for an aggregate purchase price of $43.2 million.

Restructuring

We continue to evaluate alternatives and monitor our restructuring accrual on a quarterly basis to reflect new developments as well as prevailing economic conditions in the real estate markets in which we lease office space. In the nine months ended September 30, 2005, we recorded an adjustment to the purchase price allocation for the Modem acquisition of $0.8 million to decrease the acquired restructuring accrual to reflect the remaining workforce and related costs expected to be paid.

In addition, we recorded restructuring activity related to new developments and conditions in the real estate markets during the nine months ended September 30, 2005. We recorded restructuring expense totaling $3.0 million related to additional space identified in the San Francisco and Norwalk offices. The space in San Francisco was included in the restructuring accrual as a result of the consolidation of our local offices subsequent to the Modem acquisition. The facility charge represents an estimate of future obligations under the terms of the leases for the excess space less anticipated income from subleasing activities. We entered into a sublease agreement for two of the floors in the Norwalk office and reduced the accrual by $1.4 million to reflect the sublease income expected under the terms of the sublease. Of the $1.4 million adjustment, approximately $0.2 million was recorded as a portion of the reduction in restructuring expense discussed above, and $1.2 million was a reduction to goodwill as the initial restructuring activity was recorded in connection with purchase accounting. In addition, we determined that one floor in our New York office, which was initially included in the restructuring accrual in 2001, as well as space on one of the restructured floors in the Norwalk, should be returned to operations due to changes in business needs and the relocation of a former Modem Media client to the New York office. The remaining liabilities of $3.0 million related to the New York office space and $0.3 million related to the

Page 22

Norwalk office space were removed from the accrual. The adjustment for the New York space was recorded as a reduction in restructuring expense. The adjustment for the Norwalk space was recorded as a reduction to goodwill since the initial restructuring activity was recorded in connection with purchase accounting.

At September 30, 2005, approximately 48,000 square feet identified as excess space remained available for sublease. For the nine months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004, net cash expenditures related to restructuring activities were $13.1 million and $7.7 million, respectively. As of September 30, 2005, total remaining net cash expenditures related to restructuring activities were $18.6 million. Approximately $1.1 million in net cash expenditures are expected in the fourth quarter of 2005, and the remaining net cash expenditures of approximately $17.5 million, related mainly to real estate rental obligations, over the following 6 years.

The following is a summary of restructuring activity since December 31, 2004 (dollars in thousands):


	Accrued Restructuring at December 31, 2004		Utilization 2005			Adjustments 2005			Accrued Restructuring at September 30, 2005
Workforce reduction and related costs	$	3,917	$	(2,850	)	$	(592	)	$	475
Consolidation of facilities		30,062		(10,230	)		(1,715	)		18,117

Total	$	33,979	$	(13,080	)	$	(2,307	)	$	18,592

Total net obligations	$	147,783		$	4,333		$	37,858		$	35,544		$	70,048

As of September 30, 2005, all minimum sublease income due in the future under non-cancelable subleases is related to restructured facilities.

Operating leases. We lease office facilities and some of our office equipment under cancelable and noncancelable operating lease agreements expiring at various dates through 2017. In April 2004, we entered into an agreement to lease approximately 200,000 square feet of office space in downtown Boston. The space serves as our new headquarters. The lease commenced in September 2005, upon our occupying the space. We commenced construction of improvements to our new office space in March 2005. We are not required to commence rental payments until December 2005. The lease expires in November 2017. Total contractual obligations under the lease are $86.3 million, which are included in the table above. Rent payments due in the future for both operating and restructured office space are reflected in the cash obligations table above.

Notes payable and tenant improvement loans. Since 1995, we have received tenant allowances, which are required to be reimbursed to the landlord through 2005. In connection with the acquisition of Modem, we acquired debt of $0.4 million related to amounts advanced to Modem in November 2000 for leasehold improvements at Modem’s Norwalk, Connecticut office. Payments for these advances are being made in 98 equal monthly installments and bear an interest rate of 10.0% per annum. The total outstanding amount of these advances and notes payable was $0.3 million as of September 30, 2005.

Operating lease guarantee. Prior to the acquisition of Modem, Modem held an equity method investment in CentrPort, Inc. (“CentrPort”), one of its vendors. As of December 31, 2003, Modem had considered the investment to be fully impaired and recorded a charge to write down the investment balance to zero. At the time of the acquisition, there was no balance related to the investment.

Prior to the acquisition of Modem, Modem’s management had evaluated its potential obligation under the CentrPort lease guarantee and specifically considered the following factors in this regard: (a) CentrPort’s ability to reduce its cash burn rate and preserve cash on hand; (b) the probability that CentrPort would be sold in the near future; (c) the timing as to when CentrPort could potentially default on its lease; (d) the potential for CentrPort to raise additional funds; and (e) the potential for CentrPort to sell its remaining assets / customer base. They noted that in particular, CentrPort continued to be unable to obtain new sources of funding, its operating performance continued to deteriorate and cash on hand continued to decline. As a result, they concluded that an accrual of a loss contingency for the CentrPort lease guarantee was required in accordance with SFAS No. 5 “Accounting for Loss Contingencies,” which states that a loss contingency should be accrued when the loss contingency is probable and such amount is reasonably estimable. Accordingly, as of the time of the acquisition, a $4.8 million liability had previously been recorded by Modem related to this guarantee.

In the second quarter of 2005, we became aware that CentrPort’s financial condition had further deteriorated and that it’s board of directors had approved an assignment for the benefit of creditors, assigning all of CentrPort’s assets to a receiver (the “Receiver”) and appointing the Receiver to sell or otherwise dispose of CentrPort’s assets for the benefit of its creditors. Also in the second quarter of 2005, we received a notice from CentrPort’s landlord that it had not received all required rent payments from CentrPort.

In the third quarter of 2005, Modem continued to be a guarantor for an office lease obligation of CentrPort. As of September 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004, the aggregate remaining base rent and estimated operating expenses due under this lease were $4.2 million and $4.8 million, respectively, subject to adjustment in accordance with the terms of the lease. The balance is scheduled to be reduced by approximately $0.8 million per year through June 30, 2010. During the quarter ended June 30, 2005, we paid $64,000 on behalf of CentrPort for a portion of its lease obligations for the second quarter of 2005. During the third quarter of 2005, we paid approximately $178,000 on behalf of CentrPort for a portion of its lease obligations for the quarter.

Also during the third quarter of 2005, CentrPort’s assets were sold by the Receiver. After the sale Modem was informed that rent payments would no longer be made by or on behalf of CentrPort. In order to obtain rights that would help mitigate liability as guarantor, we agreed to assume CentrPort’s lease as of October 2005. Accordingly, we are now responsible to pay the lease obligation until the space can be leased to a third party or until a settlement is reached with the landlord. We are taking all appropriate actions to mitigate our liability.

At September 30, 2005, we have a liability for the full remaining balance of the guarantee of $4.2 million included in our balance sheet. Our liability will be offset by the portion of the proceeds received from the Receiver for the sale of CentrPort’s assets and may be further mitigated if the CentrPort space is leased to a third party or if Modem Media and the landlord can reach a settlement on the payment obligations.

We expect that at current revenue projections, we will continue to generate cash from operations. We believe that cash from operations combined with current cash and cash equivalents and funds available under the credit facility will be sufficient to meet our working capital and capital expenditure requirements for at least the next twelve months. From time to time we may acquire or make investments in companies we believe are related to our strategic objectives. On a long-term basis or to complete acquisitions in the short term, we may require additional external financing through credit facilities, sales of additional equity or debt or other financing vehicles. There can be no assurance that such financing can be obtained on favorable terms, if at all.

Item 4.

Controls and Procedures

(a) Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As required by Rule 13a-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as of the end of the period covered by this report, we carried out an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, we and our management recognize that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and our management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating and implementing possible controls and procedures. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that they believe that as of the end of the period covered by this report, our disclosure controls and procedures were reasonably effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms. We will continue to review and document our disclosure controls and procedures, including our internal control over financial reporting, on an ongoing basis, and may from time to time make changes aimed at enhancing their effectiveness and to ensure that our systems evolve with our business.

Page 25

(b) Change in Internal Controls

During the period covered by this report, there have been no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Our evaluation of and conclusion on the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting at December 31, 2004, excluded Modem Media, a significant business, which we acquired on October 15, 2004. Our management’s report on internal control over financial reporting for fiscal 2005 will include Modem Media.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.

Legal Proceedings

From time to time, the Company may be involved in various claims and legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of our business. The Company believes it is not currently a party to any such claims or proceedings, which, if decided adversely to it, would either individually or in the aggregate have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition or results of operations.

Digitas Inc. is a party to stockholder class action law suits filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. Between June 26, 2001 and August 16, 2001, several stockholder class action complaints were filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York against Digitas Inc., several of its officers and directors, and five underwriters of its initial public offering (the “Offering”). The purported class actions are all brought on behalf of purchasers of Digitas Inc.’s common stock since March 13, 2000, the date of the Offering. The plaintiffs allege, among other things, that Digitas Inc.’s prospectus, incorporated in the Registration Statement on Form S-1 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, was materially false and misleading because it failed to disclose that the underwriters had engaged in conduct designed to result in undisclosed and excessive underwriters’ compensation in the form of increased brokerage commissions and also that this alleged conduct of the underwriters artificially inflated Digitas Inc.’s stock price in the period after the Offering. The plaintiffs claimed violations of Section 11 of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder by the Securities and Exchange Commission and seek, among other things, damages, statutory compensation and costs of litigation. Effective October 9, 2002, the claims against Digitas Inc.’s officers and directors were dismissed without prejudice. Effective February 19, 2003, the Section 10(b) claims against Digitas Inc. were dismissed. The terms of a settlement have been tentatively reached between the plaintiffs in the suits and most of the defendants, including Digitas Inc., with respect to the remaining claims. If completed and if then approved by the court, the settlement would dismiss those claims against Digitas Inc. and is expected to result in no material liability to it. Digitas Inc. believes that the claims against it are without merit and, if they are not dismissed as part of a settlement, intends to defend them vigorously. Management currently believes that resolving these matters will not have a material adverse impact on the Company’s financial position or its results of operations; however, litigation is inherently uncertain and there can be no assurances as to the ultimate outcome or effect of these actions.

Modem Media, Inc., or Modem, is a party to stockholder class action law suits filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. Beginning in August 2001, several stockholder class action complaints were filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York against Modem, several of its officers and directors, and five underwriters of its initial public offering (the “Modem Offering”). The purported class actions are all brought on behalf of purchasers of Modem’s common stock since the date of the Modem Offering. The plaintiffs allege, among other things, that Modem’s prospectus, incorporated in the Registration Statement on Form S-1 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, was materially false and misleading because it failed to disclose that the underwriters had engaged in conduct designed to result in undisclosed and excessive underwriters’ compensation in the form of increased brokerage commissions and also that this alleged conduct of the underwriters artificially inflated Modem’s stock price in the period after the Modem Offering. The plaintiffs claim violations of Sections 11 and 15 of the Securities Act of 1933 and Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of

the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder by the Securities and Exchange Commission and seek, among other things, damages, statutory compensation and costs of litigation. The terms of a settlement have been tentatively reached between the plaintiffs in the suits and most of the defendants, including Modem. If completed and if then approved by the court, the settlement would dismiss the claims against Modem and the individual defendants and is expected to result in no material liability to the Company. The Company believes that the claims against Modem are without merit and, if they are not dismissed as part of a settlement, intends to defend them vigorously. Management currently believes that resolving these matters will not have a material adverse impact on the Company’s financial position or its results of operations; however, litigation is inherently uncertain and there can be no assurances as to the ultimate outcome or effect of these actions.
