SI International, Inc. and Subsidiaries

Notes to consolidated financial statements
(Unaudited)

1.             Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of SI International, Inc. and its subsidiaries have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the quarter ended March 31, 2007 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 28, 2007.  For further information, refer to the financial statements and footnotes included in SI International’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 30, 2006.  References to the “Company,” “we,” “us” and “our” refer to SI International, Inc. and its subsidiaries.

2.             Summary of significant accounting policies:

Principles of consolidation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries.   All significant intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated in consolidation.

Use of estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Reporting periods

The Company’s fiscal year is based on the calendar year and ends each year on the Saturday nearest, but not falling after, December 31 of that year.  As a result, our fiscal year may be comprised of 52 or 53 weeks.  Typically, fiscal quarters also end on the Saturday nearest, but not falling after, the end of the calendar quarter.  However, we will end those fiscal quarters presented in our Forms 10-Q (the first three fiscal quarters) on the Saturday which provides us with a 13 week quarter even if that Saturday falls after the end of the calendar quarter.  As a result, in the future, if our fiscal year comprises 53 weeks, the first three quarters shall each be comprised of 13 weeks and the fourth quarter shall be comprised of 14 weeks.

As a result of this policy, we ended our first quarter on March 31, 2007 to provide us with a 13 week quarter.

Cash and cash equivalents

We consider cash on deposit and all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash and cash equivalents.

Marketable securities

During the quarters ended March 31, 2007 and April 1, 2006, the Company invested in municipal auction rate securities. The Company’s marketable securities are classified as available for sale and are recorded at quoted market prices that approximate cost.  All auction rate securities purchased during fiscal year 2006 were sold at the end of the year.  As of March 31, 2007, marketable securities consisted primarily of municipal auction rate securities with final maturity dates ranging from 2024 to 2036.  Both realized and unrealized gains and losses were not material in the quarters ended March 31, 2007 and April 1, 2006.

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenue when a contract has been executed, the contract price is fixed and determinable, delivery of services or products has occurred, and collectibility of the contract price is considered probable and can be reasonably estimated.  Revenue is earned under cost reimbursable, time and materials and fixed price contracts.

Under cost reimbursable contracts, the Company is reimbursed for allowable costs, and paid a fee, which may be fixed or performance-based. Revenues on cost reimbursable contracts are recognized as costs are incurred plus an estimate of applicable fees earned. The Company considers fixed fees under cost reimbursable contracts to be earned in proportion of the allowable costs incurred in performance of the contract. For cost reimbursable contracts that include performance based fee incentives, the Company recognizes the relevant portion of the expected fee to be awarded by the customer at the time such fee can be reasonably estimated, based on factors such as the Company’s prior award experience and communications with the customer regarding performance.

Revenue on time and materials contracts are recognized based on direct labor hours expended at contract billing rates and adding other billable direct costs.  For fixed price contracts that are based on unit pricing or level of effort, the Company recognizes revenue for the number of units delivered in any given fiscal period.  For fixed price contracts in which the Company is paid a specific amount to provide a particular service for a stated period of time, revenue is recognized ratably over the service period.

For fixed price contracts that provide for the delivery of a specific product with related customer acceptance provisions, revenues are recognized upon product delivery and customer acceptance.  However, a significant portion of the Company’s fixed price-completion contracts involve the design and development of complex, client systems.  For those contracts that are within scope of SOP 81-1, Accounting for Performance of Construction-Type and Certain Production-Type Contracts, revenue is recognized on the percentage-of-completion method using costs incurred in relation to total estimated costs.

The Company’s contracts with agencies of the government are subject to periodic funding by the respective contracting agency. Funding for a contract may be provided in full at inception of the contract or ratably throughout the contract as the services are provided.  In evaluating the probability of funding for purposes of assessing collectibility of the contract price, the Company considers its previous experiences with its customers, communications with its customers regarding funding status, and the Company’s knowledge of available funding for the contract or program. If funding is not assessed as probable, revenue recognition is deferred until realization is deemed probable.

Contract revenue recognition inherently involves estimation, including the contemplated level of effort to accomplish the tasks under contract, the cost of the effort, and an ongoing assessment of progress toward completing the contract. From time to time, as part of the normal management processes, facts develop that require management to revise its estimated total costs or revenues expected. The cumulative impact of any revisions to estimates and the full impact of anticipated losses on any type of contract are recognized in the period in which they become known.

The allowability of certain costs under government contracts is subject to audit by the government.  Certain indirect costs are charged to contracts using provisional or estimated indirect rates, which are subject to later revision based on government audits of those costs.  Management is of the opinion that costs subsequently disallowed, if any, would not be significant.

Significant customers

Revenue generated from contracts with the Federal government or prime contractors doing business with the Federal government accounted for a significant percent of revenues in the fiscal quarters ending March 31, 2007 and April 1, 2006.

For the three months ended March 31, 2007 and April 1, 2006, we had one contract vehicle that generated more than 10% of our revenue.  That contract is our Command, Control, Communications, Computer, Intelligence, Information, Technology, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance contract vehicle (C4I2TSR), which is an ID/IQ contract vehicle administered and primarily used by the U.S. Air Force Space Command, however, it is also available for use by different Federal Government agencies.  As there are projects issued under C4I2TSR for different customers, we assign and report revenue generated from any task order to the appropriate Company business unit.  Under this approach, for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and April 1, 2006, our C4I2TSR contract vehicle represented approximately 20.1% and 22.1% of our revenue, respectively.

Deferred financing costs

Costs incurred in establishing our credit facility are deferred and amortized as interest expense over the term of the related debt using the effective interest method. These deferred costs are reflected as a component of other assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The deferred financing costs consist of the following (in thousands):

Fair value of financial instruments

The Company’s financial instruments consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, credit facilities, and notes payable. In management’s opinion, the carrying amounts of these financial instruments approximate their fair values at March 31, 2007 and December 30, 2006.

Stock-based compensation

Effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123R using the modified prospective transition method, which required the Company to record compensation cost related to unvested stock awards as of December 31, 2005 by recognizing the unamortized grant date fair value of these awards over the remaining service periods of those awards with no change in historical reported earnings.  Awards granted after December 31, 2005 are valued at fair value in accordance with the provisions of SFAS 123R and recognized as an expense on a straight-line basis over the service periods of each award.   The Company accelerated the vesting of unvested stock options previously awarded to employees, officers and directors in December 2005. The Company had no unvested stock options on January 1, 2006. The total stock compensation expense recognized for stock options and restricted stock awards during the quarter ended March 31, 2007 was $0.2 million. The total remaining unrecognized compensation expense related to the unvested options and restricted stock awards as of March 31, 2007 was $3.2 million and $2.5 million, respectively.

The fair value of each option is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following assumptions used for grants during the fiscal periods ended March 31, 2007 and April 1, 2006:

 

 

Fiscal Year

Expected stock price volatility

44%

 

Expected dividend yield

 

0%

The risk-free interest is based on U.S. Treasury yields in effect at the time of grant over the expected term of the option. The expected life of options is derived from the Company’s historical option exercise data. The expected stock price volatility is based on the historical volatility of the Company’s common stock.

Prior to the adoption of SFAS No. 123R, the Company presented all tax benefits related to the exercise of stock options as operating cash flows in the consolidated statement of cash flows.  SFAS No. 123R requires the cash flows resulting from the tax benefits generated from tax deductions in excess of the compensation costs recognized for those options to be classified as financing cash flows.

Earnings per share

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing reported earnings available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares outstanding without consideration of common stock equivalents or other potentially dilutive securities.  Diluted earnings per share gives effect to common stock equivalents and other potentially dilutive securities outstanding during the period.

The following details the computation of net income per common share (in thousands):

Reclassifications

Certain prior year balances have been reclassified to conform to the presentation of the current year.

New accounting pronouncements

In July 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Interpretation No. 48 (FIN 48), “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes”.  FIN 48 provides guidance on recognition, derecognition, measurement, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. FIN 48 requires an entity to recognize the financial statement impact of a tax position when it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination. The amount recognized is measured as the largest amount of benefit that is greater than fifty percent likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. In addition, FIN 48 permits an entity to recognize interest and penalties related to tax uncertainties either as income tax expense or operating expenses. FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006.

The Company adopted the provisions of FIN 48 on January 1, 2007. The Company believes that its income tax filing positions will be sustained on audit and does not anticipate any adjustments that will result in a material effect on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows. Therefore, no reserves for uncertain income tax position have been recorded. The Company had recognized interest and penalties related to tax uncertainties as income tax expense and will continue this treatment upon adoption of FIN 48.

The Company is subject to U.S. federal income tax as well as to income tax of multiple state jurisdictions. Federal income tax returns of the Company are subject to IRS examination for the 2003 through 2006 tax years. State income tax returns are subject to examination for a period of three to six years after filing.

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements”.  SFAS No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements.  SFAS No. 157 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2007. The adoption of SFAS No. 157 is effective January 1, 2008 for the Company. The Company believes that the adoption of this statement will not have a material effect on its financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

Since 2002, the Company has maintained a credit facility with Wachovia Bank, National Association (“Wachovia Bank”)  acting as Administration Agent for a consortium of lenders.  The credit facility has been amended from time to time when the Company has made acquisitions.  The credit facility is secured by a pledge of substantially all of our current and future tangible and intangible assets, as well as those of our current and future subsidiaries, including accounts receivable, inventory and capital stock.

On February 9, 2005, contemporaneously with the closing of our acquisition of Shenandoah Electronic Intelligence, Inc., or SEI, the Company entered into an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) which increased its borrowing capacity to $160 million., comprised of a $60 million five-year revolving credit facility and a $100 million six-year term loan facility.    On February 27, 2006, contemporaneously with our closing the acquisition of Zen Technology, Inc. or Zen, a Virginia corporation, we entered into a First Amendment to the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, or First Amendment, with a syndicate of lenders, including Wachovia Bank which continues to act as administrative agent (collectively, the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement and the First Amendment shall be known as the “Amended Credit Agreement”).  The Company had approximately $129.3 million of outstanding debt under our First Amendment on February 27, 2006 following the closing of our acquisition of Zen.  However, as of March 31, 2007, we had approximately $70.0 million of debt outstanding under the term loan portion of our Amended Credit Agreement, and no borrowings outstanding under the line of credit portion of our Amended Credit Agreement.

In connection with the Credit Agreement, the Company had incurred approximately $3.2 million financing costs. With respect to the First Amendment, the Company incurred approximately $0.5 million in financing costs.  Such costs associated with the Credit Agreement were capitalized as deferred financing costs on the balance sheet and amortized over the six year term of the Credit Agreement.  Such costs associated with the First Amendment are being amortized over five year term of the First Amendment.

At the time the Company borrows funds under the Amended Credit Agreement, it may choose from two interest rate options.  The Company may elect to have the borrowings bear interest at floating rates equal to LIBOR plus a spread ranging from 200 to 270 basis points or an alternative base rate plus a spread ranging from 100 to 175 basis points.  Under either the LIBOR or alternative base rate option, the exact interest rate spread will be determined based upon the Company’s leverage ratio as defined in the Amended Credit Agreement.

The Company also has a note payable in the amount of $6.0 million, to be paid in May 2007 for the acquisition of Zen.

8.             Commitments and contingencies:

Leases

As of March 31, 2007, the Company has noncancelable operating leases, primarily for real estate, that expire over the next ten years.   Rental expense during the quarter ended March 31, 2007 was approximately $2.2 million, compared to rental expense of approximately $2.1 million during the quarter ended April 1, 2006.

Contract cost audits

Payments to the Company on government cost reimbursable contracts are based on provisional, or estimated indirect rates, which are subject to audit on an annual basis by the Defense Contract Audit Agency (DCAA). The cost audits result in the negotiation and determination of the final indirect cost rates that the Company may use for the period(s) audited. The final rates, if different from the provisional rates, may create an additional receivable or liability for the Company. The Company’s revenue recognition policy calls for revenue recognized on all cost reimbursable government contracts to be recorded at actual rates unless collectibility is not reasonably assured. To the extent the indirect rate differential creates a liability for the Company, the differential is recognized as a reduction to revenue when identified.

Litigation and claims

The Company is a party to litigation and legal proceedings that management believes to be a part of the ordinary course of our business. While we cannot predict the ultimate outcome of these matters, we currently believe that any ultimate liability arising out of these proceedings will not have a material adverse effect on our financial position. We may become involved in other legal and governmental, administrative or contractual proceedings in the future.

The SEI acquisition agreement provides for a purchase price adjustment based upon the working capital of SEI as of the closing date.  Subsequent to the closing date, we received a payment of $1.6 million in connection with services performed prior to the closing date that SEI had not previously billed, and was not authorized to bill, its customer as of the closing date.  The SEI selling stockholders have asserted that they are entitled to a credit in connection with the calculation of working capital adjustment in an amount equal to the amount received by us for this post-closing payment.  We believe that, in accordance with GAAP, the SEI selling stockholders should not receive the benefit of the post-closing payment.  In accordance with the terms of the SEI acquisition agreement, the parties have jointly submitted the issue to an independent accounting firm for resolution.  We anticipate that this matter will be resolved before the end of 2007.

In June 2006, the Company, through one of its subsidiaries, was awarded a judgment, after a trial before a judge, in a lawsuit filed in the Circuit Court of Fairfax County, Virginia against National Technologies Associates, Inc. (“NTA”) in the amount of $841,612.  The Company’s claims arose out of the Company’s allegation that NTA breached a contract which obligated NTA to subcontract certain work to the Company’s subsidiary.  The Company did not record the judgment because NTA filed a motion for reconsideration before the trial court.  The trial court judge granted NTA’s motion for reconsideration, thereby overturning the judge’s original ruling.  The Company has filed a petition with the Virginia Supreme Court requesting that it agree to hear an appeal of the trial court’s final judgment.  The Company cannot presently determine the ultimate outcome of the matter.

Stock incentive plans

In April 2005, the Board of Directors voted to adopt the 2002 Amended and Restated Omnibus Stock Incentive Plan (the “Amended and Restated Plan”) and the Amended and Restated Plan was approved by our stockholders at the annual meeting of stockholders held in June 2005. The Amended and Restated Plan amends and restates the Plan by (i) increasing the number of shares of common stock reserved and available under the Plan by 1,000,000 shares to a total share allocation of 2,920,000, (ii) permitting the grant of deferred shares, performance shares and performance units, (iii) prohibiting repricing of options without prior stockholder approval, (iv) limiting the number of shares of common stock and performance units subject to awards a participant may receive in any calendar year to 300,000 and 500,000, respectively, and adding other administrative provisions to comply with the performance-based compensation exception to the deduction limit of Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended; (v) eliminating the provision that previously provided for an automatic increase in the number of shares reserved for issuance under the Amended and Restated Plan each fiscal year by a number equal to the lesser of 160,000 shares and an amount determined by the Board of Directors, (vi) providing that non-qualified stock option grants will be priced at one hundred percent (100%) of fair market value; (vii) providing for minimum vesting periods of stock bonus awards, restricted common stock awards, stock appreciation rights, deferred shares, and other stock awards subject to the possible acceleration of the vesting schedule at the discretion of the administrator; (viii) providing that future amendments to the Amended and Restated Plan that increase the number of shares allocated, modify participation requirements, or materially increase benefits accruing to the participants under the Plan will be subject to stockholder approval; and (ix) making other technical changes to the Plan.

Prior to fiscal 2006, awards under the Company’s stock incentive plan consisted principally of stock options.  During fiscal 2006, the Company revised its stock incentive arrangement to provide restricted stock awards to directors and executives. The stock awards granted during fiscal 2006 were generally vested ratably over a period of four or five years. During fiscal 2007, the Company revised its stock incentive arrangement to issue restricted stock awards that will be fully vested only if the Company meets certain revenue target determined by the Board of Directors.

Stock repurchase program

During the Company’s Board of Directors meeting on December 6, 2005, the Board authorized the repurchase of up to 300,000 shares of its common stock up to an aggregate maximum dollar amount of $8 million.  The Company had approximately 13.0 million shares outstanding as of March 31, 2007.  Timing and volume of any purchases will be guided by management’s assessment of market conditions, securities law limitations, the number of shares of common stock outstanding, and alternative, potentially higher value uses for cash resources.  The repurchase plan may be suspended or discontinued at any time without prior notice.

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

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this Form 10-Q. This discussion and analysis contains forward-looking statements that involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties, and other factors that may cause our actual results, level 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 accurately or control. In particular, statements that we make in this section relating to the sufficiency of anticipated sources of capital to meet our cash requirements are forward- looking statements. Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements for many reasons, including as a result of some of the factors described below, elsewhere in this Form 10-Q and in the section entitled “Risk Factors” in our Form 10-K  for the fiscal year ended December 30, 2006.   You should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which apply only as of the date of the filing of this Form 10-Q.

The Company’s fiscal year is based on the calendar year and ends each year on the Saturday nearest, but not falling after, December 31 of that year.  Typically, fiscal quarters also end on the Saturday nearest, but not falling after, the end of the calendar quarter.  However, in order to ensure that the fiscal quarters presented in this Form 10-Q include 13 weeks, we ended the first quarter on Saturday, March 31, 2007.   Similarly, we will end future fiscal quarters on the Saturday which provides us with a 13 week quarter to compare with the previous year’s quarterly results even if that Saturday falls after the end of the calendar quarter.  As a result, our fiscal year may be comprised of 52 or 53 weeks.

References to the “Company,” “we,” “us” and “our” refer to SI International, Inc. and its subsidiaries.

Overview

We are, first and foremost, a provider of information technology and network solutions (IT) to the Federal Government. Our clients include the U.S. Air Force, U.S. Army, U.S. Navy, Department of State, Department of Homeland Security, Department of Energy, Department of Agriculture, Missile Defense Agency, National Institutes of Health, Federal Retirement Thrift Investment Board, National Guard Bureau, and the Intelligence community. We combine our technology and industry expertise to provide a full spectrum of state-of-the-practice solutions and services, from design and development to implementation and operations, which assist our clients in achieving mission success. We believe that our company is distinguishable from our peers within the federal IT sector in several important respects.

We employ a “Rapid Response • Rapid Deployment®” methodology that enables the rapid standing up of innovative solutions and the incorporation of additional capabilities in rapid succession. This capability allows us to respond to urgent IT imperatives quickly, often in a matter of months, and within a well defined budget. We can, therefore, provide solutions for current IT needs, while establishing a platform for advancing long-term transformational objectives. We possess a proven ability to respond to high priority information technology and network needs through innovation, and an enviable reputation for timely delivery of robust solutions on assignments where failure is not an option. Our solutions enable clients to respond to new mandates, expand the scope of their missions, and reengineer underlying business processes. We have a demonstrated ability of turning troubled IT projects into winning outcomes and realized exceptional growth from high-quality client engagements. We also utilize mature and proven processes to manage and market large-scale ID/IQ contracts, such as C4I2TSR. We employ a diverse, innovative team that effectively utilizes small business partners’ unique skills and expertise for mission critical IT projects.

For the fiscal quarters ended March 31, 2007 and April 1, 2006, we received 98.3% and 98.2%, respectively, of our revenues from services we provided to various departments and agencies of the Federal Government, both directly and through other prime contractors, and 1.7% and 1.8%, respectively, of our total revenues from work performed for commercial entities. The following table shows our revenues from the client groups listed as a percentage of total revenue. Revenue data for the DoD includes revenue generated from work performed under engagements for both the DoD and the Intelligence community.

Our services are provided to clients pursuant to three types of contracts: cost reimbursable, time and materials and fixed price contracts. The following table shows our revenues from each of these types of contracts as a percentage of our total revenue for the following periods:

Under cost reimbursable contracts, the Company is reimbursed for allowable costs, and paid a fee, which may be fixed or performance based. Revenues on cost reimbursable contracts are recognized as costs are incurred plus an estimate of applicable fees earned.  The Company considers fixed fees under cost reimbursable contracts to be earned in proportion of the allowable costs incurred in performance of the contract.  For cost reimbursable contracts that include performance based fee incentives, the Company recognizes the relevant portion of the expected fee to be awarded by the client at the time such fee can be reasonably estimated, based on factors such as our prior award experience and communications with the client regarding performance.

Revenue on time and materials contracts are recognized based on direct labor hours expended at contract billing rates and adding other billable direct costs.  To the extent that our actual labor costs under a time and materials contract are higher or lower than the billing rates under the contract, our profit under the contract may either be greater or less than we anticipated or we may suffer a loss under the contract. We recognize revenues under time and materials contracts by multiplying the number of direct labor hours expended by the contract billing rates and adding the effect of other billable direct costs.

16




 

For fixed price contracts that provide for the delivery of a specific product with related customer acceptance provisions, revenues are recognized upon product delivery and customer acceptance.  However, a significant portion of the Company’s fixed price-completion contracts involve the design and development of complex, client systems. For those contracts that are within the scope of SOP 81-1, Accounting for Performance of Construction-Type and certain Production-Type Contracts, revenue is recognized on the percentage-of-completion method using costs incurred in relation to total estimated costs.

The Company’s contracts with agencies of the government are subject to periodic funding by the respective contracting agency.  Funding for a contract may be provided in full at inception of the contract or ratably throughout the contract as the services are provided.  In evaluating the probability of funding for purposes of assessing collectibility of the contract price, the Company considers its previous experiences with its customers, communications with its customers regarding funding status, and the Company’s knowledge of available funding for the contract or program.  If funding is not assessed as probable, revenue recognition is deferred until realization is probable.

Contract revenue recognition inherently involves estimation, including the contemplated level of effort to accomplish the tasks under the contract, the cost of the effort, and an ongoing assessment of progress toward completing the contract.  From time to time, as part of the normal management processes, facts develop that require revisions to estimated total costs or revenues expected.  The cumulative impact of any revisions to estimates and the full impact of anticipated losses on any type of contract are recognized in the period in which they become known.

The allowability of certain costs under government contracts is subject to audit by the government.  Certain indirect costs are charged to contracts using provisional or estimated indirect rates, which are subject to later revision based on government audits of those costs.  Management is of the opinion that costs subsequently disallowed, if any, would not be significant.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

General.   Short-term liquidity requirements are created by our use of funds for working capital, capital expenditures, and the need to provide debt service. We expect to meet these requirements through a combination of cash flow from operations and borrowings under our Amended Credit Agreement.

We anticipate that our long-term liquidity requirements, including any further acquisitions, will be funded through a combination of cash flow from operations, borrowings under our Amended Credit Agreement, additional secured or unsecured debt or the issuance of common or preferred stock, each of which may be initially funded through borrowings under our Amended Credit Agreement.

Under the terms of our Amended Credit Agreement, the Company is required to maintain compliance with financial and non-financial covenants.  The Company is in compliance with all such covenants as of March 31, 2007.

Cash and Cash Equivalents.   We consider cash on deposit and all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash and cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents as of the end of three months ending March 31, 2007 and April 1, 2006 was $6.0 million and $13.3 million, respectively.

Cash Flow.   The following table sets forth our sources and uses of cash and cash equivalents for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and April 1, 2006.

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. We bill most of our clients monthly after services are rendered. Cash used in operations in the three months ended March 31, 2007 was attributable to net income of $4.7 million, plus depreciation, amortization and other non-cash items of $2.1 million, and an increase in working capital and other operating assets and liabilities of $13.6 million.  Cash used in operations in the three months ended April 1, 2006 was attributable to net income of $4.3 million, depreciation, amortization, and other non-cash items of $1.4 million, and an increase in working capital and other operating assets and liabilities of $5.8 million.

Our cash flow used in investing activities consists primarily of capital expenditures, the purchase and sale of marketable securities, and acquisitions. In the three months ended March 31, 2007, we purchased $28.0 million of marketable securities and purchased capital assets totaling $2.0 million. We partially offset the cash use with $23.0 million of proceeds from the sale of marketable securities. During the three months ended April 1, 2006, we paid $45.9 million for business acquisitions, net of cash assumed, repaid a contract settlement to a former owner for $8.0 million, and purchased capital assets totaling $0.5 million. We partially offset the cash use with $7.8 million of proceeds from the sale of marketable securities.

Our cash flow provided by financing activities consists primarily of borrowing under and payments on our credit facility and proceeds from the issuance and exercise of common stock. For the three months ended March 31, 2007, cash flow provided by financing activities consists of proceeds of $0.6 million from the exercise of stock options, partially offset by the $0.2 million repayments of the term loan portion of our credit facility and capital lease.  Cash provided by financing activities for the three months ended April 1, 2006 was attributable to proceeds of $30.0 million from the term debt provided by our credit facility, proceeds of $3.7 million provided by the exercise of stock options, and $0.9 million income tax benefit for the stock option exercises. Cash provided by financing activities was partially offset by payments of debt issuance fees of $0.5 million, and partial repayments of the term loan portion of our credit facility and capital lease of $0.3 million.

Three months ended March 31, 2007 compared with three months ended April 1, 2006

Revenue.  For the three months ended March 31, 2007, our revenues increased 6.0% to $113.7 million from $107.2 million for the three months ended April 1, 2006. Revenues from work under Federal Government contracts increased 6.1% to $111.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007 from $105.3 million for the three months ended April 1, 2006. This increase was attributable to the new contract awards, successful recompetition wins on existing programs, new contracts from and growth within existing programs in our four focus areas: Federal IT Modernization, Defense Transformation, Homeland Defense, and Mission-Critical Outsourcing.  We continue to focus primarily on opportunities for the Federal government.

Cost of services.  Cost of services include direct labor and other direct costs such as materials and subcontractor costs, incurred to provide our services and solutions to our customers.  Generally, changes in costs of services are correlated to changes in revenue as resources are consumed in the production of that revenue. For the three months ended March 31, 2007, cost of services increased 6.4% to $70.9 million from $66.6 million for the three months ended April 1, 2006.  This increase was attributable primarily to the increase in revenue. As a percentage of revenue, cost of service were 62.3% for the three months ended March 31, 2007 as compared to 62.1% for the three months ended April 1, 2006.

Selling, general and administrative expenses.  Selling, general and administrative expenses include facilities, selling, bid and proposal, indirect labor, fringe benefits and other discretionary costs. For the three months ended March 31, 2007, indirect costs increased 5.2% to $32.1 million from $30.5 million for the three months ended April 1, 2006.  This $1.6 million increase was primarily attributable to the expected growth of support functions necessary to facilitate and administer the growth in direct costs.  As a percentage of revenue, selling, general and administrative costs were 28.3% for the three months ended March 31, 2007 as compared to 28.5% for the three months ended April 1, 2006.

Depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization includes the depreciation of computers, furniture and other equipment, the amortization of third party software we use internally, and leasehold improvements.   For the three months ended March 31, 2007, depreciation expense was $794,000, an increase compared to $548,000 for the three months ended April 1, 2006.  As a percentage of revenue, depreciation expense was 0.7% for the three months ended March 31, 2007 compared to 0.5% for the three months ended April 1, 2006.

Amortization of intangible assets. Amortization of intangible assets includes the amortization of intangible assets acquired in connection with acquisitions in accordance with SFAS 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.  Identifiable intangible assets are amortized over their estimated useful lives.  Non-compete agreements are generally amortized straight-line over the term of the agreement, while contracts and related client relationships are amortized using an accelerated method over their estimated useful lives.  For the three months ended March 31, 2007, amortization of intangible assets was $748,000, compared to $647,000 for the three months ended April 1, 2006.   As a percentage of revenue amortization of intangible assets was 0.7% for the three months ended March 31, 2007 compared to 0.6% for the three months ended April 1, 2006.

Income from operations.  For the three months ended March 31, 2007, income from operations increased 2.8% to $9.1 million from $8.9 million for the three months ended April 1, 2006. This increase was attributable primarily to increased revenues.  As a percentage of revenue, income from operations was 8.0% for the three months ended March 31, 2007 compared to 8.3% for the three months ended April 1, 2006.

Interest expense.  Interest expense decreased 21.6% to $1.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007 from $1.8 million for the three months ended April 1, 2006. This decrease was attributable primarily to the prepayments of the term loan during fiscal 2006.  As a percentage of revenue, interest expense was 1.2% for the three months ended March 31, 2007 as compared to 1.7% for the three months ended April 1, 2006.

Provision for  income taxes.  The provision for income taxes was $3.1 million in the three months ended March 31, 2007, compared to $2.8 million for the three months ended April 1, 2006.   Our first quarters of 2007 and 2006 tax provision, represents an estimated annual effective tax rate of 39.3%. Our estimated annual effective tax rate is greater than the federal statutory rate of 35% due primarily to state income taxes.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of March 31, 2007, we have no off-balance sheet arrangements that are reasonably likely to have a current or future material effect on our financial condition, revenues, or expenses, result of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures, or capital resources.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our significant accounting policies are described in Note 2 to our accompanying consolidated financial statements. We consider the accounting policies related to revenue recognition to be critical to the understanding of our results of operations. Our critical accounting policies also include the areas where we have made what we consider to be particularly difficult, subjective or complex judgments in making estimates, and where these estimates can significantly impact our financial results under different assumptions and conditions. We prepare our financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. As such, we are required to make certain estimates, judgments and assumptions that we believe are reasonable based upon the information available. These estimates, judgments and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the periods presented. Actual results could be different from these estimates.

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenue when a contract has been executed, the contract price is fixed and determinable, delivery of services or products has occurred, and collectibility of the contract price is considered probable and can be reasonably estimated.  Revenue is earned under cost reimbursable, time and materials and fixed price contracts.

Under cost reimbursable contracts, the Company is reimbursed for allowable costs, and paid a fee, which may be fixed or performance-based. Revenues on cost reimbursable contracts are recognized as costs are incurred plus an estimate of applicable fees earned. The Company considers fixed fees under cost reimbursable contracts to be earned in proportion of the allowable costs incurred in performance of the contract. For cost reimbursable contracts that include performance based fee incentives, the Company recognizes the relevant portion of the expected fee to be awarded by the customer at the time such fee can be reasonably estimated, based on factors such as the Company’s prior award experience and communications with the customer regarding performance.

Revenue on time and materials contracts are recognized based on direct labor hours expended at contract billing rates and adding other billable direct costs.  For fixed price contracts that are based on unit pricing or level of effort, the Company recognizes revenue for the number of units delivered in any given fiscal period.  For fixed price contracts in which the Company is paid a specific amount to provide a particular service for a stated period of time, revenue is recognized ratably over the service period.

For fixed price contracts that provide for the delivery of a specific product with related customer acceptance provisions, revenues are recognized upon product delivery and customer acceptance.  However, a significant portion of the Company’s fixed price-completion contracts involve the design and development of complex, client systems.  For those contracts that are within scope of SOP 81-1, Accounting for Performance of Construction-Type and Certain Production-Type Contracts, revenue is recognized on the percentage-of-completion method using costs incurred in relation to total estimated costs.

The Company’s contracts with agencies of the government are subject to periodic funding by the respective contracting agency. Funding for a contract may be provided in full at inception of the contract or ratably throughout the contract as the services are provided.  In evaluating the probability of funding for purposes of assessing collectibility of the contract price, the Company considers its previous experiences with its customers, communications with its customers regarding funding status, and the Company’s knowledge of available funding for the contract or program. If funding is not assessed as probable, revenue recognition is deferred until realization is deemed probable.

Contract revenue recognition inherently involves estimation, including the contemplated level of effort to accomplish the tasks under contract, the cost of the effort, and an ongoing assessment of progress toward completing the contract. From time to time, as part of the normal management processes, facts develop that require revisions to estimated total costs or revenues expected. The cumulative impact of any revisions to estimates and the full impact of anticipated losses on any type of contract are recognized in the period in which they become known.

The allowability of certain costs under government contracts is subject to audit by the government.  Certain indirect costs are charged to contracts using provisional or estimated indirect rates, which are subject to later revision based on government audits of those costs.  Management is of the opinion that costs subsequently disallowed, if any, would not be significant.

Stock Based Compensation

Effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 123R using the modified prospective transition method, which required the Company to record compensation cost related to unvested stock awards as of December 31, 2005 by recognizing the unamortized grant date fair value of these awards over the remaining service periods of those awards with no change in historical reported earnings.  Awards granted after December 31, 2005 are valued at fair value in accordance with the provisions of SFAS 123R and recognized as an expense on a straight-line basis over the service periods of each award.   The Company accelerated the vesting of unvested stock options previously awarded to employees, officers and directors in December 2005. The Company had no unvested stock options on January 1, 2006. The total stock compensation expense recognized for stock options and restricted stock awards during the quarter ended March 31, 2007 was $0.2 million. The total remaining unrecognized compensation expense related to the unvested options and restricted stock awards as of March 31, 2007 was $3.2 million and $2.5 million, respectively.

Item 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

We are exposed to certain financial market risks, the most predominant being fluctuations in interest rates for borrowings under our credit facility. Interest rate fluctuations are monitored by our management as an integral part of our overall risk management program, which recognizes the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to reduce the potentially adverse effect on our results of operations. As part of this strategy, we may use interest rate swap arrangements to manage or hedge our interest rate risk. We do not use derivative financial instruments for speculative or trading purposes.

As of March 31, 2007, we had $70.0 million outstanding under our Amended Credit Agreement. A 1% change in interest rates would have resulted in our interest expense fluctuating by approximately $175,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2007.

Effective February 14, 2006, an interest swap agreement came into effect which reduced our exposure associated with the market volatility of floating LIBOR interest rates. This agreement has a notional principal amount of $30.0 million and, as of March 31, 2007, had a rate ranging from 4.05% to 4.74%. This agreement is a hedge against term debt, which bears interest at LIBOR plus a margin which has a current rate ranging from 7.32% to 7.40%. At stated monthly intervals the difference between the interest on the floating LIBOR-based debt and the interest calculated in the swap agreement are settled in cash. The estimated value of the swap at March 31, 2007 was $0.2 million.

In addition, historically, our investment positions have been relatively small and short-term in nature. We have typically made investments in a fund with an effective average maturity of fewer than 40 days and a portfolio make-up consisting primarily of commercial paper and notes, variable rate instruments, and, to a lesser degree, overnight securities and bank instruments.  Since our initial public offering, the Board of Directors approved an investment policy that requires us to invest in relatively short-term, high quality, and high liquidity obligations.

Item 4.  Controls and Procedures.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures. The Company performed an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2007.  Based upon the evaluation, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of March 31, 2007, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. During the three months ended March 31, 2007, there were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control for financial reporting.

PART II:  OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.  Legal Proceedings

From time to time, the Company is involved in litigation, claims and disputes that arise in the ordinary course of its business.  In addition, the Company is subject to audit, review, and investigation by various agencies of the Federal government to determine compliance with applicable federal statutes and regulations.  As a Federal government contractor, the Company is subject to audit by certain federal agencies to determine if the Company’s performance and administration of its government contracts are compliant with contractual requirements and applicable federal statutes and regulations.  While the Company cannot predict the ultimate outcome of legal proceedings, government audits, investigations, claims and disputes to which it is or may be subject, the Company currently believes, based upon information available to us as of the date of this filing, that any ultimate liability arising out of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

The SEI acquisition agreement provides for a purchase price adjustment based upon the working capital of SEI as of the closing date.  Subsequent to the closing date, we received a payment of $1.6 million in connection with services performed prior to the closing date that SEI had not previously billed, and was not authorized to bill, its customer as of the closing date.  The SEI selling stockholders have asserted that they are entitled to a credit in connection with the calculation of working capital adjustment in an amount equal to the amount received by us for this post-closing payment.  We believe that, in accordance with GAAP, the SEI selling stockholders should not receive the benefit of the post-closing payment.  In accordance with the terms of the SEI acquisition agreement, the parties have jointly submitted the issue to an independent accounting firm for resolution.  We anticipate that this matter will be resolved before the end of 2007.

In June 2006, the Company, through one of its subsidiaries, was awarded a judgment, after a trial before a judge, in a lawsuit filed in the Circuit Court of Fairfax County, Virginia against National Technologies Associates, Inc. (“NTA”) in the amount of $841,612.  The Company’s claims arose out of the Company’s allegation that NTA breached a contract which obligated NTA to subcontract certain work to the Company’s subsidiary.  The Company did not record the judgment because NTA filed a motion for reconsideration before the trial court.  The trial court judge granted NTA’s motion for reconsideration, thereby overturning the judge’s original ruling.  The Company has filed a petition with the Virginia Supreme Court requesting that it agree to hear an appeal of the trial court’s final judgment.  The Company cannot presently determine the ultimate outcome of the matter.
