SRA INTERNATIONAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

Three and Nine Months Ended March 31, 2010 and 2009

1. Basis of Presentation:

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of SRA International, Inc. (a Delaware corporation), and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (SRA or the Company) and have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Certain information and note disclosures normally included in the annual financial statements, prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), have been omitted pursuant to those rules and regulations, although the Company believes that the disclosures made are adequate to make the information presented not misleading.

In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments and reclassifications that are necessary for fair presentation of the periods presented. The results for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2010 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full fiscal year. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company’s latest annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2009.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (the Codification) the single source of U.S. GAAP used by non-government entities in the preparation of financial statements, except for rules and interpretive releases of the SEC. The Codification supersedes all existing non-SEC accounting and reporting standards and was effective for the Company beginning July 1, 2009. The FASB will no longer issue new standards in the form of Statements, FASB Staff Positions, or Emerging Issues Task Force Abstracts; instead, it will issue Accounting Standards Updates (ASUs).

In October 2009, the FASB issued ASU No. 2009-14, Certain Revenue Arrangements that include Software Elements—a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force, which amends Topic 985: Software. This ASU modifies the existing accounting guidance to exclude tangible products that contain both software and non-software components that function together to deliver the product’s essential functionality from the scope of the software revenue recognition accounting standards. This ASU is effective for the Company beginning July 1, 2010 and can be applied prospectively or retrospectively. The Company does not expect the adoption of this ASU to have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.

In October 2009, the FASB issued ASU No.2009-13, Multiple-Deliverable Revenue Arrangements—a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force, which amends Topic 605: Revenue Recognition. This ASU removes the “objective and reliable evidence of fair value” criterion from the separation criteria used to determine whether an arrangement involving multiple deliverables contains more than one unit of accounting, replaces references to “fair value” with “selling price” to distinguish from the fair value measurements required under the Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures guidance, provides a hierarchy that entities must use to estimate selling price, eliminates the use of the residual method for allocation, and expands ongoing disclosure requirements. This ASU is effective for the Company beginning July 1, 2010 and can be applied prospectively or retrospectively. The Company does not expect the adoption of this ASU to have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.

In January 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-06, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (ASC Topic 820)—Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements. The amendments in this update require new disclosures on the transfers of assets and liabilities between Level 1 (quoted prices in active market for

identical assets and liabilities) and Level 2 (significant other observable inputs) of the fair value measurement hierarchy, including the reasons for and the timing of the transfers. This guidance became effective for the Company in the three months ended March 31, 2010 and did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations. Additionally, this ASU requires a roll-forward of activities on purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements of the assets and liabilities measured using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3 fair value measurements). The requirement will become effective beginning July 1, 2011 and is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

In April 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-17 Milestone Method of Revenue Recognition—a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force, which amends Topic 605: Revenue Recognition. This ASU establishes authoritative guidance permitting use of the milestone method of revenue recognition for research or development arrangements that contain payment provisions or consideration contingent on the achievement of specified events. This guidance is effective for milestones achieved in fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010 and allows for either prospective or retrospective application, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that adoption of this guidance will have on its financial position and results of operations.

Other new ASUs issued but not effective until after March 31, 2010, are not expected to have a significant effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

Reclassifications

Beginning in fiscal 2010, the Company reclassified the portion of rent and facility costs, as well as stock-based compensation expense related to employees who perform work directly for the Company’s clients from the caption “selling, general and administrative expenses” to the caption “cost of services.” All prior period balances have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.

2. Nature of Business:

SRA is a leading provider of technology and strategic consulting services and solutions to clients in national security, civil government and health care. Within these markets, SRA’s clients include a combination of U.S. federal, state and local government agencies, and commercial and international organizations. The Company is organized into strategic sectors which are aligned with these markets. The National Security Sector (NSS) provides strategic and tactical command, control and communications systems for law enforcement, public safety, and intelligence agencies. The Health and Civil Services Sector (HCS) provides comprehensive professional information technology consulting services and enterprise-wide infrastructure support to federal civil agencies as well as health consulting services for global clients. The Company also provides solutions ranging from aircraft and vehicle tracking to airport billing and noise monitoring that help air navigation service providers and airport operators address core challenges such as safety, efficiency, profitability and functionality through its Era business.

In April 2010, the Company separated its intelligence operations from the rest of NSS to form a new sector, Intelligence and Space (ISS). With the formation of ISS, the Company is increasing its focus on the needs of this unique market.

Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise about which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker, or decision making group, in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. Although the Company is organized into strategic sectors, the Company has one reportable segment.

The Company derives a substantial portion of its revenue from services provided as a prime contractor or subcontractor on engagements with federal government clients. In the nine months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, these contracts represented 93% of the Company’s revenue. Although in most cases different federal government agencies or departments are part of a common legal entity, the Company considers as separate clients each office or division within an agency or department that engages the Company directly or through a prime contractor. No client or client group accounted for more than 10% of revenue in the periods presented herein.

3. Impairment of Goodwill and Other Long-Lived Assets

The Company tests goodwill for impairment annually on January 1, and between annual tests whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable. The Company utilizes a discounted cash flow analysis as well as comparative market multiples to determine the fair value of its reporting units.

The impairment model prescribes a two step method for determining goodwill impairment. The first step is a screen for impairment, which compares the reporting unit’s estimated fair value to its carrying value. If the carrying value exceeds the estimated fair value, a potential impairment is indicated and the Company must complete the second step of the impairment test. The second step allocates the fair value of the reporting unit to the tangible and intangible assets and liabilities to derive an implied fair value for the reporting unit’s goodwill. If the carrying value of goodwill exceeds the implied fair value, an impairment charge is recorded to reduce the carrying value of the goodwill to the implied fair value.

The Company evaluated goodwill for impairment as of January 1, 2010. The Company separately evaluated goodwill assigned to HCS, NSS, and the two Era reporting units, Air Traffic Management and Military and Security (ATM) and Airport Operations Solutions (AOS). The Company engaged an independent third-party firm and considered their findings in its determination of the fair value of the two Era reporting units. There were no indications of impairment in the HCS and NSS sectors as the estimated fair value of those reporting units exceeded their respective carrying values. However, the first step of the impairment test for ATM and AOS indicated an impairment. The second step of the impairment test determined that goodwill was impaired in both the ATM and AOS reporting units by $56.5 million and $3.5 million, respectively, resulting in an aggregate goodwill impairment charge of $60.0 million that was recognized in the third quarter of fiscal 2010. ATM and AOS sell products and services in the aviation market, which has suffered from the effects of the global economic crisis. The impairment primarily results from the effects of adverse economic conditions, which has created an increasing uncertainty about the timing of potential future orders and caused a corresponding reduction in the estimated future cash flows and market pricing multiples used by the Company in its annual assessment. This goodwill had no tax basis, and accordingly, there is no tax benefit related to the impairment charge. This non-cash charge reduces goodwill to $28.6 million and $2.3 million in the ATM and AOS reporting units, respectively as of March 31, 2010.

Additionally, the Company determined that the carrying amount of certain long-lived assets in the AOS reporting unit exceeded the expected future net undiscounted cash flows from these assets as a result of the adverse conditions in the aviation market. The Company recorded impairment charges during the third quarter of fiscal 2010 of $0.6 million related to identified intangible assets and $0.7 million related to capitalized software, which had been included in other assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheet.

During the nine months ended March 31, 2010, the changes in the carrying amount of goodwill were as follows (in thousands):

4. Acquisitions and Divestitures:

Perrin Quarles Associates, Inc.

On January 31, 2010, the Company acquired all of the outstanding equity interests of Perrin Quarles Associates, Inc. (PQA), a privately held environmental consulting firm for $8.6 million, net of $0.3 million cash acquired. PQA specializes in environmental program development and implementation for air quality and climate change, providing services primarily to the Environmental Protection Agency, and state and international environmental organizations. The purchase price allocation resulted in goodwill of $4.8 million (all of which is deductible for tax purposes) and identified intangible assets of $2.8 million. The identified intangible assets consisted primarily of customer relationships and will be amortized over estimated useful lives ranging from 5 to 10 years. The acquisition did not meet the criteria of a material and significant acquisition, and therefore, pro forma disclosures are not presented in these condensed consolidated financial statements.

Constella Futures Holding, LLC

On September 2, 2008, the Company sold its ownership interest in Constella Futures Holding, LLC (Futures), a wholly owned subsidiary of Constella Group LLC (Constella), which the Company purchased in August 2007 to a group of private investors led by the former Constella chairman and chief executive officer. The operating results of Futures through the date of the sale are included in the operating results of the Company in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations for the nine months ended March 31, 2009. Based on its initial estimate of the final senior net asset note, the Company recorded a pre-tax gain on the sale of approximately $1.9 million in the three months ended September 30, 2008. During the three months ended December 31, 2009, an independent third party arbitrator issued a determination on the amount of the senior net asset note discussed below, resulting in a reduction of the total selling price from the initial estimate of $38.8 million to approximately $36.9 million. This change resulted in a charge of $1.9 million in the quarter ended December 31, 2009, which reduced the previously recorded gain.

The final selling price of $36.9 million consisted of $16.6 million in cash, a $10.0 million senior promissory note and a senior net asset note of $10.3 million. Both senior notes bear interest at 6% per annum, payable monthly, and are secured by a $7.0 million bank letter of credit, a $3.0 million personal guaranty, and the assets of Futures as a new company. The senior net asset note is to be paid in installments. The first payment of $2.0 million was received in September 2009. A second payment of $3.3 million was received in December 2009. A payment of $2.0 million is due on September 1, 2010 with the remainder due to be paid on September 1, 2011. The senior promissory note is to be paid in two installments of $1.0 million and $9.0 million on September 1, 2012 and 2013, respectively.

Era Systems Corporation

On July 30, 2008, the Company acquired Era, a privately-held provider of advanced surveillance technologies and flight tracking solutions for the air traffic management, airport operations, military and security markets. The results of Era’s operations have been included in these condensed consolidated financial statements since that date. Of the total cash consideration paid, approximately $12.5 million was placed into escrow as security for the payment of post-closing net working capital adjustments and other claims and $12.5 million was placed into escrow to secure indemnification obligations of Era’s shareholders.

The funds that were held in escrow related to the net working capital adjustment represented contingent consideration. The net working capital adjustment was finalized in the three months ended December 31, 2009, resulting in an $8.8 million reduction of the purchase price. With the resolution of the working capital adjustment, the Company finalized the allocation of the adjusted purchase price of $116.7 million, which included direct transaction costs of $0.8 million and cash acquired of $1.1 million. Approximately $24.3 million of the purchase price was allocated to definite-lived intangible assets acquired and $90.9 million was allocated to goodwill. The goodwill from the acquisition is not deductible for tax purposes. The identified intangibles included in-process research and development of $0.9 million, which was expensed in the nine months ended December 31, 2008. The remaining $23.4 million of identified intangible assets is being amortized over estimated useful lives ranging from 2 years to 20 years.

While the Company had finalized the purchase price allocation, it continued to pursue further claims against the sellers primarily related to certain contracts executed prior to the Company’s acquisition of Era. In March 2010, the Company collected the $8.8 million working capital adjustment, $0.3 million of arbitration fees and $3.4 million in settlement of all other outstanding claims. The $3.4 million settlement was recorded as an increase in income in the quarter ended March 31, 2010. Subsequent to the settlement, the remaining $12.5 million of funds held in escrow were released to the sellers.

5. Earnings per Share:

The Company currently has outstanding shares of class A and class B common stock. Our class A and class B common stock have equal dividend and liquidation rights. The only difference between the two classes is that holders of our class A common stock are entitled to one vote per share and holders of our class B common stock are entitled to ten votes per share. Each share of class B common stock is convertible at any time at the option of the holder into one share of class A common stock.

U.S. GAAP requires that basic and diluted earnings per share (EPS) be calculated using the if-converted method for class A common stock and the two-class method for class B common stock. The two-class method is an earnings allocation formula that determines EPS for each class of common stock according to the weighted-average of dividends declared, outstanding shares per class and participation rights in undistributed earnings. The computation of EPS by applying the two-class method for the Company does not and cannot yield a different result than that provided using the if-converted method because net income is allocated between class A and class B common stock proportionately.

Participants in the Company’s equity compensation plans who are granted restricted stock awards would be entitled to receive a proportionate share of dividends, if declared. The rights to dividends declared are non-forfeitable, and therefore, the unvested restricted shares qualify as participating securities requiring the allocation of earnings under the two-class method to calculate EPS. The percentage of earnings allocated to the

unvested restricted shares is based on the proportion of the weighted-average unvested restricted shares outstanding to the total of the basic weighted-average common shares outstanding and the weighted average unvested restricted shares outstanding. Basic EPS is then computed by dividing income less earnings allocable to unvested restricted shares by the basic weighted average number of shares outstanding. Diluted EPS is computed similar to basic EPS, except the weighted average number of shares outstanding is increased to include the dilutive effect of outstanding stock options.

Because the Company reported a net loss for both the three and nine months ended March 31, 2010, the potential exercise of outstanding stock options would have an anti-dilutive effect. Therefore, the 5,808,535 stock options outstanding at March 31, 2010 are not included in the computation of diluted EPS and there is no difference between the basic and diluted loss per share reported for these periods. In the three and nine months ended March 31, 2009, there were 3,887,377 and 3,376,512 stock options excluded from the calculation of diluted EPS because their effect would have been anti-dilutive. Although the unvested restricted stock awards discussed above qualify as participating securities they are not obligated to share in the Company’s losses. As such, the 679,495 unvested restricted shares outstanding at March 31, 2010 were not allocated a portion of the loss recognized during fiscal 2010.

The following table reconciles reported net (loss) income to the (loss) income used to compute basic and diluted EPS for the periods presented (in thousands):

6. Stock-Based Compensation:

Under the terms of the SRA International, Inc. 2002 Stock Incentive Plan, the Company may grant incentive stock options, non-statutory stock options, restricted stock and other stock based awards. The Company has 10-year and 15-year options and uses the Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing model to determine the fair value. The stock options and restricted stock typically vest at a rate of 25% per year.

The billable receivables included in the billed and billable line item above represent primarily revenue earned in the final month of the reporting period. These billable receivables are typically billed and collected within 90 days of the balance sheet date.

Consistent with industry practice, certain receivables related to long-term contracts are classified as current, although $1.5 million of retainages are not expected to be billed and collected within one year.

Billings in excess of revenue totaled $20.7 million at March 31, 2010. This balance primarily relates to third-party maintenance that the Company is able to bill in advance of revenue, which is recognized ratably over the maintenance term. Billings in excess of the revenue recognized is classified as a current liability on the condensed consolidated balance sheet.

9. Facility Exit Activities:

During the second quarter of fiscal 2010, the Company initiated activities to consolidate and exit certain underutilized facilities as well as sublease excess space. The Company abandoned excess office space in several of its facilities, most significantly its Milton Park facility in the United Kingdom which supports a portion of its contract research organization business. The Company recognized a total facility exit charge of $1.9 million during the second quarter which was included in selling, general and administrative expenses on the condensed consolidated statement of operations. As of March 31, 2010 the remaining balance of this liability was $1.2 million. Future lease payments will continue to be made through the end of the lease terms, with the latest expiring in 2012.

10. Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities:

The Company is subject to foreign exchange risk related to transactions executed in non-functional currencies. The Company utilizes forward contracts to offset the impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on certain short term intercompany balances as well as Euro denominated trade receivables due to the Company’s subsidiary whose functional currency is the Czech Koruna. The Company has not designated any of these derivative instruments as an accounting hedge and, accordingly, all of these derivative instruments are marked to fair value at each balance sheet date and all gains and losses are recognized in earnings immediately. The fair value of these forward contracts is zero at inception and increases or decreases based on the fluctuations of the exchange rate between the Euro and the Czech Koruna. The outstanding forward contracts at March 31, 2010 were entered into on March 30, 2010. As there was no significant fluctuation in this exchange rate prior to the balance sheet date, the fair value of the forward contracts held was not material at March 31, 2010. The gains and losses related to these foreign currency transactions and derivative instruments are included in selling, general and administrative expenses on the condensed consolidated statement of operations. The amounts of each for the periods presented were as follows (in thousands):

11. Commitments and Contingencies:

Government contracting

Payments to the Company on cost-plus-fee contracts are provisional and are subject to adjustment upon audit by the Defense Contract Audit Agency. Audits of significant incurred cost submissions have been completed through June 30, 2006. In the opinion of the Company, audit adjustments that may result from audits for periods after June 30, 2006 are not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

For contracts with the Department of Defense and related agencies, the U.S. Department of Defense Inspector General and its agencies are reviewing current and past compliance with network security-related contractual obligations. Depending on the review results, the Company may be required to make changes to its current processes and may be required to adjust certain contract prices or prior payments. The Company is

actively cooperating with this review. It is not possible at this time to determine whether adjustments, if any, to contract prices or prior payments will be required or, if required, whether such adjustments will have a material effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

Like many other government contractors, the Company’s computer networks are subject to persistent intrusion attempts. The Company employs increasingly sophisticated technologies, operations and employee training in order to thwart such intrusions, but expects this to be a continuing challenge for the industry. When an intrusion is suspected, the Company takes prompt remedial steps and works closely with government authorities and customers to mitigate any adverse impacts. Based on a recent network intrusion, the Company is notifying customers it believes might have been affected and is working to address customer concerns. These efforts are ongoing and contractual exposure, if any, is not estimable at this time.

Federal government contracts by their terms generally can be terminated at any time by the federal government, without cause, for the convenience of the federal government. If a federal government contract is so terminated, the Company would be entitled to receive compensation for the services provided and costs incurred through the time of termination, plus settlement expenses and a negotiated amount of profit.

Federal government contractors who fail to comply with applicable government procurement-related statutes and regulations may be subject to potential contract termination, suspension and debarment from contracting with the government, fines or other penalties.

Litigation

As a government contractor, the Company is often subjected to investigations, reviews and audits relating to compliance with various complex laws and regulations applicable to its role as a contractor to agencies and departments of the U.S. Government and in connection with performing services in countries outside of the United States. Such investigations, reviews and audits may lead to criminal, civil or administrative proceedings and to potential penalties, fines, repayments or compensatory damages. Adverse findings may also materially impair the Company’s ability to compete for future government contracts and its reputation with customers. Given the uncertainties, the Company is not able to give any assurances, but based upon its current understanding and evaluation of matters subject to government investigation of which the Company is aware, and its understanding of the status and intentions of such investigations, the Company does not believe that the ultimate outcome of such matters is likely to have a material adverse effect on its consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

From time to time, the Company is involved in various legal claims and proceedings concerning matters arising in the ordinary course of business. Based upon current information, the Company does not believe that the ultimate outcome of these proceedings is likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

12. Debt:

The Company has a $285 million unsecured revolving credit facility that terminates on August 9, 2012, at which time any outstanding borrowings under the facility become due. During the three months ended March 31, 2010, the Company repaid all of the outstanding borrowings under the credit facility. The Company was in compliance with all debt covenants as of March 31, 2010.

13. Fair Value Measurements:

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in the principal or most advantageous market in an orderly transaction between marketplace participants. Various valuation approaches can be used to determine fair value, each requiring different valuation inputs. The

following hierarchy classifies the inputs used to determine fair value into three levels:

 

   

Level 1—Quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets

 

   

Level 2—Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, and model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs and significant value drivers are observable in active markets

 

   

Level 3—Valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable

The Company’s financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, debt and derivative instruments. As of March 31, 2010 and June 30, 2009, the carrying value of all financial instruments approximated their fair value.

Certain nonfinancial assets and liabilities are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis in accordance with applicable U.S. GAAP. This includes items such as nonfinancial assets and liabilities initially measured at fair value in a business combination and nonfinancial long-lived asset groups measured at fair value for an impairment assessment. In general, nonfinancial assets including goodwill, other intangible assets and property and equipment are measured at fair value when there is an indication of impairment and are recorded at fair value only when any impairment is recognized.

Assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis during the three and nine months ended March 31, 2010 were as follows (in thousands):

 

    Fair Value  (Significant
Unobservable

Inputs - Level 3)
  Impairment
Losses

Goodwill

  $ 30,915   $ 59,971

Other long-lived assets

    260     1,344

Nonfinancial assets measured at fair value related to the acquisition of PQA (see Note 4)

   

Goodwill

    4,829     —  

Identified intangible assets

    2,830     —  

Other long-lived assets

    498  
           

Total

  $ 39,332   $ 61,315
           

As discussed in Note 3, we recorded a charge for the impairment of goodwill and other long-lived assets in the ATM and AOS reporting units during the third quarter of fiscal 2010 to adjust the carrying value of these assets down to fair value. As such, the $30.9 million of goodwill remaining in the AOS and ATM reporting units was recorded at fair value on the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2010. The valuation models used in the impairment analysis are based in part on estimated future operating results and cash flows. Because these factors are derived from the Company’s estimates and internal market assumptions, they are considered unobservable inputs and the resulting fair value measurements are included in Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

In connection with the Company’s acquisition of PQA in the three months ended March 31, 2010, the Company recognized identified intangible assets which consisted primarily of customer relationships. These identified intangible assets were measured using a combination of valuation approaches including the income and replacement cost methods. The inputs to the valuation models were primarily based on management estimates and therefore are included in Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. The $4.8 excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net tangible and identified intangible assets was recorded as goodwill on the condensed consolidated balance sheet.

14. Income Taxes:

The Company’s effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2010 was (29.1)% and 109.0%, as compared to 39.6% and 40.3% for the same periods in the prior year. The difference between the statutory federal income tax rate and the Company’s effective tax rate in 2010 is largely due to the impact of the non-deductible goodwill impairment charge and the non-taxable settlement with Era sellers. Additionally, the Company’s effective tax rate for the nine months ended March 31, 2010 was favorably impacted by approximately $2.2 million of federal tax benefits which resulted from credits for research and development activities as well as deductions for income from qualified domestic production activities. The Company also recognized $1.0 million of state tax credits and exemptions associated with its status as a Qualified High Technology Company (QHTC) within Washington, D.C, including $0.5 million which related to prior years. The benefits taken during fiscal 2010 include approximately $2.6 million of tax benefits related to prior year income tax returns (fiscal years 2008 and 2009).

The provision for income taxes differs from the amount computed by multiplying the statutory federal income tax rate of 35% times the (loss) income before income taxes due to the following:

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

The matters discussed in this Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, and elsewhere in this Form 10-Q, constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties, and other factors that may cause our actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. In some cases, you can identify these statements by forward-looking words such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “may,” “plan,” “potential,” “should,” “will,” and “would” or similar words. You should read statements that contain these words carefully because they discuss our future expectations, contain projections of our future results of operations or of our financial position, or state other forward-looking information. We believe that it is important to communicate our future expectations to our investors. However, there may be events in the future that we are not able to predict or control accurately. The factors listed or referred to in the section captioned “Risk Factors,” as well as any cautionary language in this Form 10-Q, provide examples of risks, uncertainties, and events that may cause our actual results to differ materially from the expectations we describe in our forward-looking statements.

Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements. You should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which apply only as of the date of this Form 10-Q. Subsequent events and developments may cause our views to change. While we may elect to update these forward-looking statements at some point in the future, we specifically disclaim any obligation to do so.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

Certain financial measures discussed in this Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, such as organic revenue growth, operating income, as adjusted, and adjusted measures of income before income taxes and provision for income taxes are non-GAAP financial measures. We believe these non-GAAP measures provide investors with useful supplemental information regarding underlying business trends and performance of our ongoing operations and are useful for period-over-period comparisons of such operations. These measures are not calculated through the application of GAAP and are not the required form of disclosure by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). As such, they should not be considered as substitutes for the most directly comparable GAAP measures and should not be used in isolation, but in conjunction with these GAAP measures. The use of any non-GAAP measure may produce results that vary from the GAAP measure and may not be comparable to a similarly defined non-GAAP measure used by other companies. Reconciliations to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures are included in the relevant discussions below.

OVERVIEW

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our 2009 Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, and with the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Form 10-Q.

We are a leading provider of technology and strategic consulting services and solutions primarily to government organizations. We offer a broad range of technology and strategic consulting services spanning the information technology life cycle, including: strategic consulting; systems design, development, and integration; and outsourcing and managed services. Our business solutions include text and data mining; information assurance, cyber security and privacy protection; enterprise resource planning; business intelligence; contingency and disaster planning; enterprise architecture and portfolio management; identity management; information sharing and knowledge management; outsourcing, managed services, and infrastructure modernization; service- oriented architecture; training, modeling, and simulation; air traffic control management; contract research

outsourcing, regulatory consulting and data management; and wireless integration services. These business solutions, in some cases consist of repeatable tools, techniques, and methods that reflect the specific competencies we have gained from significant experience in these areas. We provide services in the national security, civil government and health care markets. Our largest market, national security, includes the Department of Defense, the National Guard, the Department of Homeland Security, the intelligence and space agencies, and other government organizations with homeland security missions. In the nine months ended March 31, 2010, revenue from clients in the national security market and health and civil government market accounted for 51% and 49% of our revenue, respectively.

During the nine months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, we were the prime contractor on engagements representing 87% and 85% of our revenue, respectively. Engagements serving federal government clients where we were the prime contractor or a subcontractor accounted for 93% of our revenue for the nine months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009.

Our Era business continued to suffer from the effects of the global economic crisis. For the third quarter of fiscal 2010, Era reported revenue of $5.7 million and operating losses, before amortization of intangible assets, of $4.3 million. For the nine months ended March 31, 2010, Era reported revenue of $21.1 million and operating losses of $10.2 million before amortization of intangible assets. We believe that the Airport Operations Solutions (AOS) unit of Era’s operations is no longer central to our business strategy. On May 4, 2010, the Board of Directors authorized management to divest the AOS unit. We continue to evaluate other ways to reduce costs in the Air Traffic Management and Military (ATM) unit; however, an increase in revenue will also be required to restore profitability.

We use operating income, as adjusted, as an additional measure of our core business performance period over period. Adjustments to operating income result in a measure that is not provided for under GAAP, however, we believe adjustment of the items above is useful as they are considered outside the normal course of our operations and obscure the comparability of performance period–over-period.

 

(a)

As part of our annual goodwill impairment review conducted in the third quarter of fiscal 2010, we determined that goodwill for our AOS and ATM reporting units was impaired. We recorded a total

 

20


Table of Contents
  goodwill impairment charge of $60.0 million, which included $56.5 million for ATM and $3.5 million for AOS. Additionally, we recorded impairment charges of $1.3 million related to certain identified intangible assets and capitalized software in AOS. See Note 3 to our condensed consolidated financial statements in Part I for discussion of the impairment charges.
(b) During the third quarter of fiscal 2010, we reached a settlement on the outstanding claims made against the selling shareholders of Era. The claims related primarily to certain contracts entered into by Era prior to our acquisition which have suffered significant ongoing losses. This settlement resulted in a non-taxable gain of $3.4 million during the quarter. See Note 4 to our condensed consolidated financial statements in Part I for discussion of the settlement with Era sellers.
(c) In the first quarter of fiscal 2009, we sold Constella Futures Holding, LLC (Futures) and recorded a gain of $1.9 million based on the initial estimated sales price. In the second quarter of fiscal 2010, an arbitrator settled a dispute over the sales price which resulted in a reduction of the previously recognized gain.
(d) In fiscal 2009, we recorded a charge of $0.9 million to write-off the acquired in-process research and development related to our acquisition of Era in July 2008.
(e) In the second quarter of fiscal 2010, we recorded a charge of $1.9 million to exit certain underutilized facilities. This charge related primarily to our Milton Park facility in the United Kingdom (UK) which supports our contract research organization business.
(f) In fiscal 2010, we have hedged much of our foreign currency exposure and as a result foreign currency fluctuations have not had as significant an impact on our earnings as in fiscal 2009.

FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS

In addition to the items noted above, financial highlights or events during the three months ended March 31, 2010, include:

 

   

Revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2010 increased 9% over the same period in the prior year, primarily reflecting an increased volume of direct labor and a greater amount of services provided by subcontractors on engagements with our federal government clients.

 

   

Our operating margin, as adjusted above, increased to 6.6% during the third quarter of fiscal 2010 from 6.0% in the same period in the prior year due to strong labor-based organic revenue growth and continued general and administrative cost management efforts, but was adversely impacted by the following:

 

   

Operating losses of $4.3 million, before amortization of intangible assets, in our Era aviation business reflecting difficulties encountered in turning the sales pipeline into backlog as our international aerospace customers continue to suffer from the global economic crisis as well as contract losses on several contracts that were in place when we acquired the business. Era’s losses during the third quarter reduced operating margin by approximately 100 basis points.

 

   

Inclement weather conditions, which caused some of our offices and customer sites to close for several days during the third quarter. We estimate that these closures, which resulted in fewer billable hours worked and, correspondingly, less revenue recognized, reduced operating margin by approximately 50 basis points.

 

   

Our effective income tax rate was favorably impacted by federal and state tax benefits totaling $0.7 million related to income tax returns for prior fiscal years and $0.4 million related to fiscal 2010.

 

   

We completed the quarter with no debt and more than $40 million of cash and cash equivalents.

 

   

New contract awards were $751 million equating to a book-to-bill ratio of 1.8 for the quarter. Total backlog was $4.8 billion at March 31, 2010.

KEY FINANCIAL METRICS

We manage and assess the performance of our business by evaluating a variety of metrics. Selected key metrics are discussed below.

Revenue Growth

Total revenue growth is a measure of how successful we are at growing and developing our business including the effect of strategic acquisitions. Our organic revenue growth rate is a metric used by management in an attempt to isolate how effectively we are growing our core business excluding acquisitions.

We calculate organic growth by comparing our actual reported revenue in the current period, including revenue attributable to acquired companies, with adjusted revenue from the prior-year period. In arriving at prior-year revenue, we include the revenue of acquired companies and remove the revenue of divested companies for the prior-year periods comparable to the current-year periods for which the companies are included in our actual reported revenue. The resulting growth rate is intended to represent our organic, or non-acquisitive, growth year-over-year, including comparable period growth or decline attributable to acquired companies.

The organic growth rate of 8.4% for the third quarter of fiscal 2010 is computed as follows (in thousands):

 

     Three months ended
March 31,
 
     2010    2009    % Change  

Revenue, as reported

   $ 411,027    $ 376,928    9.0

Plus: Revenue of acquired companies for the comparable prior year period

        2,261   
                    

Organic revenue

   $ 411,027    $ 379,189    8.4
                    

For the immediate future, our primary focus will be on delivering differentiated information technology and professional solutions to government agencies. Part of our growth strategy may include selectively pursuing strategic acquisitions to complement and accelerate internal growth by adding new capabilities, customers, solutions and related intellectual property.

Our revenue grows as the volume of services provided to our customers grows. While subcontractor labor services and direct material purchases contribute to our overall revenue and earnings growth, our employees’ direct labor services typically generates a greater gross margin (revenue less cost of services). As such, the total cost and growth rate of direct labor provided by our employees is a critical piece of our revenue growth that is evaluated by management. The following table shows total direct labor costs of our employees for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively (in thousands).

Contract Backlog and Bookings

Future growth is dependent upon the strength of our target markets, our ability to identify opportunities, and our ability to successfully bid and win new contracts. We received approximately $751 million and $2.1 billion of new contract awards during the three and nine months ended March 31, 2010, respectively. Contract awards or bookings generally represent the amount of revenue expected to be earned in the future from funded and unfunded contract awards received during the period. During the three and nine months ended March 31, 2010

 

22


Table of Contents

there were downward contract adjustments of $94 million and $225 million related to customer deobligations or contract backlog that was not realized on contracts that have ended. In addition, with the acquisition of PQA effective January 31, 2010, we acquired $74 million of contract backlog as of that date.

A key measure of our business growth is the ratio of new contracts awarded in a quarter compared to the revenue recorded in the same period. In the third quarter of fiscal 2010, this book-to-bill ratio was 1.8. Our goal is for the level of quarterly business awards to significantly exceed the revenue booked in the quarter in order to drive future revenue growth.

We define backlog to include funded and unfunded orders for services under existing signed contracts, assuming the exercise of all options relating to those contracts, less the amount of revenue we have previously recognized under those contracts. Backlog includes all contract options that have been priced but not yet funded. Backlog also includes the contract value under single award indefinite delivery, indefinite quantity (ID/IQ) contracts against which we expect future task orders to be issued without competition. Backlog does not take contract ceiling value into consideration under multiple award contracts, nor does it include any estimate of future potential delivery orders that might be awarded under multiple award ID/IQ vehicles, government-wide acquisition contracts (GWACs), or General Services Administration (GSA) schedule contracts. We define funded backlog to be the portion of backlog for which funding currently is appropriated and obligated to us under a contract or other authorization for payment signed by an authorized purchasing authority. Backlog can vary considerably from time to time as current contracts or delivery orders are executed and new contracts or delivery orders under existing contracts are won.

The following table summarizes our contract backlog:

     (in millions)

Backlog:

     

Funded

   $ 922.2    $ 761.8

Unfunded

     3,841.3      3,297.7
             

Total Backlog

   $ 4,763.5    $ 4,059.5
             

Our total backlog of $4.8 billion as of March 31, 2010 represented a 17.3% increase over the June 30, 2009 backlog. Our backlog includes orders under contracts that in some cases extend for several years, with the latest expiring during calendar year 2019. Congress often appropriates funds for our clients on a yearly basis, even though the corresponding contract with us may call for performance that is expected to take a number of years. As a result, contracts typically are only partially funded at any point during their term with further funding dependent on Congress making subsequent appropriations and the procuring agency allocating funding to the contract.

We expect to recognize a substantial portion of our funded backlog as revenues within the next 12 months. However, the U.S. Government may cancel any contract at any time. In addition, certain contracts with commercial customers include provisions that allow the customer to cancel at any time. Most of our contracts have cancellation terms that would permit us to recover all or a portion of our incurred costs, termination costs, and potential fees for work performed.

Contract Mix

When contracting with our clients, we enter into one of three basic types of contracts: cost-plus-fee, time-and-materials, and fixed-price.

 

   

Cost-plus-fee contracts. Cost-plus-fee contracts provide for reimbursement of allowable costs and the payment of a fee, which is our profit.

 

23


Table of Contents
   

Time-and-materials contracts. Time-and-materials contracts provide for a fixed hourly rate for each direct labor hour expended plus reimbursement of allowable material costs and out-of-pocket expenses.

 

   

Fixed-price contracts. Fixed-price contracts provide for a pre-determined fixed price for specified products and/or services. To the extent our actual costs vary from the estimates upon which the price was negotiated, we will generate more or less than the anticipated amount of profit or could incur a loss.

Contract profit margins are generally affected by the type of contract. An important part of growing our operating income is to increase the amount of services delivered under fixed-price contracts, which present more risk to deliver, but we can typically earn higher profits on these engagements. The following table summarizes our historical contract mix, measured as a percentage of total revenue, for the periods indicated.

Headcount and Labor Utilization

Because most of our revenue derives from services delivered by our employees, our ability to hire new employees and, retain and deploy them is critical to our success. We define direct labor utilization as the ratio of labor dollars recorded on customer engagements to total labor dollars. We include every working employee of the Company in the computation and exclude leave taken, such as vacation time or sick leave, so that we can understand how we are applying worked labor. As of March 31, 2010, we had 7,099 employees. Annualized voluntary attrition was 11.4% during the third quarter of fiscal 2010 compared to 10.8% in the same period of the prior year. Direct labor utilization was 77.4% and 76.7% for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, and 77.6% and 76.1% for the nine months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. Labor incurred in the performance of our contracts is classified as cost of services and all other labor costs incurred are included in selling, general and administrative costs. Accordingly, direct labor utilization impacts the amount of selling, general and administrative expense.

Days Sales Outstanding

Days sales outstanding (DSO) is a measure of how efficiently we manage the billing and collection of our accounts receivable, our most significant working capital requirement. We calculate DSO by dividing accounts receivable at the end of each quarter, net of billings in excess of revenue, by revenue per day in the period. Revenue per day for a quarter is determined by dividing total revenue by 90 days.

The revenue growth during the three and nine months ended March 31, 2010 was primarily organic and resulted from an increase in services provided to our federal government customers. Our revenue growth was limited by continuing challenges in our Era aviation business, where sales declined as compared to the prior year.

The increase in the ratio of cost of services to revenue in both periods was due primarily to higher subcontractor costs in support of our contracts, including our Joint Staff Systems Integration Network contract with the Department of Defense which was awarded in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2009. Additionally, inclement weather conditions caused some of our offices and customer sites to close for several days during the three months ended March 31, 2010. We estimate that these closures, which resulted in fewer billable hours worked and, correspondingly, less revenue recognized, increased our cost of services as a percentage of revenue by approximately 50 basis points in the quarter.

Excluding foreign currency exchange gains and losses and the facility exit charge discussed previously, selling, general and administrative expenses decreased $1.1 million and $7.9 million for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2010, respectively. This decrease was driven primarily by earlier actions taken to right-size the contract research organization business, which accounted for $2.8 million and $6.8 million of the decrease in the three and nine months ended March 31, 2010, respectively. This was partially offset by bid and proposal costs which increased $1.1 million and $1.2 million for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2010, as compared to the same periods in the prior year.

Table of Contents

The increase in the revenue base lowered total selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenue in the current year. We anticipate selling, general, and administrative expenses to remain between 15% and 16% of revenue in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2010. Our ability to sustain this level of selling, general and administrative expenses is affected by our direct labor utilization.

Depreciation and amortization expense did not materially change in either the three or nine month periods ending March 31, 2010 compared to the same periods of the prior year.

Interest expense decreased due to lower average outstanding borrowings and lower interest rates during the three and nine months ended March 31, 2010. The weighted average balance outstanding during the third quarter of fiscal 2010 was approximately $61.5 million compared to approximately $130.2 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2009. The weighted average interest rate on borrowings during the third quarter of fiscal 2010 was 1.4% compared to 2.8% in the same period of fiscal 2009.

The weighted average balance outstanding during the first nine months of fiscal 2010 was approximately $73.6 million compared to approximately $128.1 million for the same period of fiscal 2009. The weighted average interest rate on borrowings during the first nine months of fiscal 2010 was 1.5% as compared to approximately 5.1% in the same period of fiscal 2009.

Interest income decreased due to a decline in interest rates and a lower average cash balance. The interest income in fiscal 2010 consists primarily of interest earned on the notes receivable related to the sale of Futures which bear interest at 6.0% per annum.

Income Taxes

The effective tax rates for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2010 were impacted by the non-deductible goodwill impairment charge and non-taxable settlement of claims against the Era sellers discussed above. The effective tax rate excluding the impact of these items is calculated as follows:

This adjusted measure of income before income taxes and the resulting adjusted effective tax rate are non-GAAP financial measures. We believe these adjustments are useful as they eliminate certain non-taxable items that are outside the normal course of operations and obscure the comparability of our effective tax rate period-over-period.

The Company’s effective tax rate, as calculated above, was 34.6% and 35.6% for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2010, respectively, as compared to 39.6% and 40.2% for the same periods in the prior year. The lower effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2010 is primarily due to federal research and development tax credits, deductions for income from qualified domestic production activities, and state tax credits and exemptions associated with our status as a Qualified High Technology Company (QHTC) within Washington, D.C. We recorded approximately $0.7 million and $2.6 million of tax benefits related to prior years in the three and nine month periods respectively. See Note 14 to the condensed consolidated financial statements for a reconciliation of the provision for income taxes to the income taxes expected based on the federal statutory tax rate. We expect an effective tax rate of 38.9% for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2010.

SEASONALITY

Our business operates on a fiscal year ending June 30. Quarterly revenue and operating margins can be affected by, among other things, seasonality in our business model. In the quarter ending September 30, we may experience a sequential decline in operating margins from our quarter ending June 30 due to lower billable labor volume resulting from summer vacations and increased proposal activity in connection with the end of the federal fiscal year. In the quarter ending December 31, lower billable labor volume may continue because of holiday vacations. In the March and June quarters, the volume of billable labor may increase, which can have the effect of increasing operating margins in the last two quarters of our fiscal year.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Our primary capital needs are to finance the costs of operations pending the billing and collection of accounts receivable and to make selective strategic acquisitions. Annual capital expenditure requirements typically average between 1% and 1.2% of revenue each year. Our working capital (total current assets minus total current liabilities) as of March 31, 2010 was $231.5 million compared to $224.0 million as of June 30, 2009. As of March 31, 2010, our total cash balances were $40.5 million and we had no outstanding debt.

Cash Flow

Accounts receivable represent our largest working capital requirement. We bill most of our clients monthly after services are rendered. Our operating cash flow is primarily affected by the overall profitability of our contracts, our ability to invoice and collect from our clients in a timely manner, and our ability to manage our vendor payments. Our DSO was significantly improved as of March 31, 2010 with 79 days sales included in receivables as compared to 84 days as of December 31, 2009. Accounts receivable have increased as compared to June 30, 2009 resulting from the discontinuation of our practice of offering discounts to customers for early payment during fiscal 2010. DSO at June 30, 2009 was 76 days.

Net cash provided by operating activities was $37.9 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2010, compared to $30.3 million of cash provided by operating activities in the same period of the prior year. Net income excluding the non-cash impairment charge was higher in the first nine months of fiscal 2010 compared to the prior year. This was partially offset by an increase in accounts receivable as discussed in the preceding paragraph.

In the first three quarters of fiscal 2010, our cash used in investing activities was primarily for capital expenditures and the acquisition of PQA in January 2010. This was offset by the collection of $5.3 million of the outstanding balance of the senior net asset note related to the sale of Futures and $12.5 million received from the settlement related to the Era acquisition. Cash used for investing activities in the same period of the prior year was primarily for the acquisition of Era in July 2008.

Table of Contents

Net cash used by financing activities was $72.1 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2010, compared to $20.1 million in the same period of fiscal 2009. The cash used in financing activities resulted primarily from net repayments of $75.0 million on our credit facility during the first nine months of fiscal 2010 compared to the same period of the prior year which included $21.8 million used to repurchase outstanding shares of our common stock.

Credit Facilities

Our $285 million credit facility terminates on August 9, 2012, at which time any outstanding borrowings under the facility become due. During the third quarter of fiscal 2010, we paid down all of the outstanding borrowings under the credit facility.

Outstanding borrowings under the credit facility bear interest at a rate per annum equal to, at our election, (i) LIBOR plus an applicable margin ranging from 0.65% to 0.95%, with such margin varying according to our leverage ratio, plus a utilization fee of 0.125% if outstanding borrowings exceed 50% of the credit facility, or (ii) an alternative base rate equal to the higher of the bank’s prime rate or 0.5% above the Federal Funds Rate. In addition, we are required to pay the lenders a facility fee on the total committed amount under the credit facility ranging from 0.100% to 0.175% per annum, depending upon our leverage ratio.

We may use the proceeds from borrowings under the credit facility for any general corporate purpose. The credit facility contains customary covenants limiting our ability to, among other things, merge or consolidate with others, incur liens, redeem or repurchase our stock, enter into transactions with affiliates, or dispose of assets. In addition, the credit facility contains financial covenants requiring us to maintain a total leverage ratio of not more than 3.0 to 1.0 and an interest coverage ratio of at least 3.0 to 1.0. If we do not comply with the various covenants under the credit facility, the lenders may, subject to various customary cure rights, require immediate payment of all amounts outstanding under the facility.

Capital Requirements

We believe the capital resources available to us under our credit facility and cash from our operations are adequate to fund our normal operating working capital needs and capital expenditure requirements for at least the next twelve months.

OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

As of March 31, 2010, we had no material off-balance sheet arrangements other than our operating leases and financial performance guarantees. In the normal course of business, we may provide certain customers and potential customers with financial performance guarantees. In general, we would only be liable for the amount of these guarantees in the event of default on our contractual performance obligations. In our opinion, any liability incurred in excess of those recognized on our balance sheet as of March 31, 2010, would not have a material adverse effect on our results of operations or financial position.

DESCRIPTION OF CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The preparation of our financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires that we make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses, as well as the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. We base our estimates on our historical experience and various other factors that we believe are reasonable at the time the estimates are made. Actual results may differ significantly from our estimates under different assumptions or conditions. We believe the critical accounting policies requiring us to make significant estimates and judgments are revenue recognition, accounting for stock compensation expense, accounting for acquisitions, including the identification of intangible assets and the ongoing impairment assessments of goodwill and intangible assets.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

During the three months ended March 31, 2010, we repaid all outstanding borrowing under our credit facility. Therefore, our current exposure to fluctuations in interest rates is not material. There were no other material changes in our market risk exposure during the three months ended March 31, 2010. For a discussion of our market risk associated with foreign currency risk and interest rate risk as of June 30, 2009, see “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk” in Part II, Item 7A, of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2009.

 

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

As of March 31, 2010, under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer (our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, respectively), management evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rule 13a-15 of the Exchange Act. Based upon this evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective, as of the end of the period covered by this report, such that the information relating to us that is required to be disclosed in our reports filed with the SEC (i) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms and (ii) is accumulated and communicated to management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

No change in our internal control over financial reporting occurred during the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2010 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
