Item 2. Acquisition or Disposition of Assets

        On March 1, 2004, CIBER, Inc. acquired SCB Computer Technology, Inc. ("SCB"). SCB, based in Memphis, Tennessee, provided IT services similar to CIBER, including consulting, outsourcing and professional staffing, with a particular focus on federal and state government clients. The total consideration paid by CIBER for all of SCB's outstanding shares was approximately $54 million, excluding transaction related costs, consisting of approximately $41 million in cash and approximately 1.4 million shares of CIBER common stock valued at approximately $13 million. In addition, SCB had certain debt obligations, totaling approximately $33 million, which we repaid shortly after closing of the acquisition. We used a portion of the cash raised from our December 2003 Convertible Debenture Offering to fund the cash portion of the purchase consideration and the repayment of SCB's debt.
