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 29, 2008 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 27, 2008.  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 29, 2007.  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 SI International, Inc. 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.

 

Consistent with this policy, our first quarter ended March 29, 2008 was 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 fiscal quarter ended March 29, 2008, the Company did not invest in auction rate securities.  During the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2007, the Company invested in municipal auction rate securities. The Company’s marketable securities were classified as available for sale and were recorded at quoted market prices that approximated cost.

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 certain 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.  Other performance-based fees are recognized upon customer approval.

 

Revenues 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 contracts accounted for under SOP 81-1 are recognized in the period in which they become known.  Projected losses on all other contracts are recognized as the services and materials are provided.

 

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, both directly and through other prime contractors, accounted for a significant percent of revenues in the fiscal quarters ending March 29, 2008 and March 31, 2007, as follows:

For the three months ended March 29, 2008 and March 31, 2007, 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, or C4I2TSR, which is an Indefinite Delivery-Indefinite Quantity, or 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 29, 2008 and March 31, 2007, our C4I2TSR contract vehicle represented approximately 10.7% and 20.1% of our revenue, respectively.

 

Deferred financing costs

 

Costs incurred in raising debt 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):

Deferred financing costs, net

 

$

2,362

 

$

The increase in deferred loan costs of approximately $0.9 million in the first quarter of fiscal year 2008 was due to the Company’s execution of its Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement on February 13, 2008, as more fully described in Note 7.

 

Fair value of financial instruments

 

The Company’s financial instruments consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities, accounts receivable, accounts payable, credit facilities, and long-term debt. In management’s opinion, the carrying amounts of these financial instruments approximate their fair values at March 29, 2008 and December 29, 2007.

 

Stock-based compensation

 

Effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123R, Share Based Payment, using the modified prospective transition method.  Due to the use of the modified prospective method, prior interim periods and fiscal years do not reflect any restated amounts.  The Company accelerated the vesting of unvested stock options previously awarded to employees, officers and directors in December 2005; thus the Company had no unvested stock options on January 1, 2006.  Since January 1, 2006, the Company has issued 499,525 stock options through March 29, 2008.  The total stock compensation expense recognized for stock options during the quarters ended March 29, 2008 and March 31, 2007 was $0.2 million and $0.1 million, respectively. The total remaining unrecognized compensation expense related to the unvested options as of March 29, 2008 was $3.9 million.

From January 1, 2006 through March 29, 2008, the Company has issued 179,725 shares of restricted stock to directors and employees under its 2002 Amended and Restated Omnibus Stock Incentive Plan. The fair value of the restricted stock awards is determined based on the grant date stock price. The compensation expense for restricted stock awards is recognized beginning on the date of grant on either a straight-line basis over the vesting term, which is typically five years, or over the expected period of performance for awards with performance-based vesting. The total compensation expense recognized during fiscal quarters ended March 29, 2008 and March 31, 2007 was $0.2 million and $0.1 million, respectively. The total remaining unrecognized compensation expense related to the unvested restricted stock awards as of March 29, 2008 was $3.5 million.

 

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 29, 2008 and March 31, 2007:

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):

Derivative Instrument and Hedging Activities

 

The Company accounts for derivative instruments and hedging activities in accordance with SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, as amended. Derivatives are recognized as either assets or liabilities in the

 

10



 

consolidated balance sheet, and gains and losses are recognized based on changes in the fair values. Gains and losses on derivatives designated as a hedge, or deemed to be an effective hedge, are deferred in accumulated other comprehensive loss in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Gains and losses on derivatives that are not designated as a hedge, or that are not intended to be an effective hedge, are recognized upon the changes in fair values and are recorded in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. The classification of gains and losses resulting from the changes in fair values is dependent on the intended use of the derivative and its resulting designation. The Company uses the change in variable cash flow method to measure the effectiveness of its hedges.

 

From time to time, the Company will enter into interest rate swap agreements to manage exposure to fluctuations in rates on its variable rate debt. These agreements effectively allow the Company to exchange variable rate debt for fixed rate debt. The Company enters into such derivative instrument agreements only to hedge cash flows. The Company does not hold or issue such financial instruments for trading purposes, nor is it a party to leveraged derivatives.

 

Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Plan

 

The Company maintains a non-qualified defined contribution supplemental retirement savings plan for certain key employees whereby participants may elect to defer and contribute a portion of their compensation, as permitted by the plan. The Company maintains supplemental retirement savings plan assets that are accounted for in accordance with EITF Issue No. 97-14, Accounting for Deferred Compensation Arrangements Where Accounts are Held in a Rabbi Trust and Invested, and the underlying assets are held in a rabbi trust. The participants can direct their investments in the nonqualified deferred compensation plan.

 

A rabbi trust is a grantor trust established to fund compensation for a select group of management. The assets of this trust are available to satisfy the claims of general creditors in the event of bankruptcy of the Company. The assets held by the rabbi trust, which are classified as trading securities, are recorded at fair value in the consolidated financial statements as nonqualified deferred compensation plan assets. The participants’ investments are recorded at fair value as nonqualified deferred compensation plan obligations.

 

Segment reporting

 

SFAS No. 131, Disclosure about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information, establishes standards for the way that public business enterprises report information about operating segments in annual financial statements and requires that these enterprises report selected information about operating segments in interim financial reports. SFAS No. 131 also establishes standards for related disclosures about products and services, geographic areas and major customers. Management has concluded that the Company operates in one segment based upon the information used by management in evaluating the performance of its business and allocating resources and capital.

 

Reclassifications

New accounting pronouncements

 

In the first quarter of 2008, we adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 157, Fair Value Measurements, which defines fair value, establishes a market-based hierarchy for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 is applicable whenever another accounting pronouncement requires or permits assets and liabilities to be measured at fair value, but does not require any new fair value measurements. The SFAS No. 157 requirements for certain non-financial assets and liabilities have been deferred until the first quarter of 2009 in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Staff Position (FSP) 157-2. The adoption of SFAS No. 157 did not have a material impact on our results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

 

The fair-value hierarchy established in SFAS No. 157 prioritizes the inputs used in valuation techniques into three levels as follows:

 

 

·

 

Level 1 – Observable inputs – quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities;

 

11



 

 

·

 

Level 2 – Observable inputs other than the quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities – includes quoted prices for similar instruments, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in inactive markets, and amounts derived from valuation models where all significant inputs are observable in active markets; and

 

 

 

 

 

·

 

Level 3 – Unobservable inputs – includes amounts derived from valuation models where one or more significant inputs are unobservable and require us to develop relevant assumptions.

 

The amount of financial assets and liabilities we recorded at fair value at March 29, 2008 totaled $4.4 million and $8.6 million, respectively. The $4.4 million of financial assets, held in a rabbi trust, and $5.0 million of financial liabilities are related to our non-qualified deferred compensation plan.  We determined the value of the deferred compensation plan assets and liabilities using Level 1 methodology.  The remaining $3.6 million of financial liabilities relates to an interest rate swap derivative financial instrument with the fair value measured using the Level 2 methodology.

 

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities—Including an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 115 . SFAS No. 159 permits entities to choose to measure certain financial instruments and other items at fair value. The fair value option generally may be applied instrument by instrument, is irrevocable, and is applied only to entire instruments and not to portions of instruments. SFAS No. 159 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The adoption of this statement did not have a material impact on its financial condition, results of operations or cash flows, as we did not elect to measure any items at fair value under SFAS No. 159.

 

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (revised 2007), Business Combinations. SFAS No. 141R establishes principles and requirements for how companies recognize and measure identifiable assets acquired, liabilities assumed, and any non-controlling interest in connection with a business combination; recognize and measure the goodwill acquired in a business combination; and determine what information to disclose to enable users of the financial statements to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business combination. SFAS No. 141R is effective for business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008. The Company has not yet evaluated what impact, if any, SFAS No. 141R will have on its results of operations or financial position.

*As further discussed below, the total debt outstanding as of December 29, 2007 was pursuant to the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, whereas the total debt outstanding as of March 29, 2008 was pursuant to the Second Amended Credit Agreement.

 

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 since 2002.  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, we entered into our Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, which was subsequently amended by a First Amendment to the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated February 27, 2006 and a Second Amendment to the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement or the Second Amendment, dated June 8, 2007. The Second Amendment, executed contemporaneously with our closing of the LOGTEC acquisition, increased the amount of outstanding term debt by $25 million, to a total of approximately $95 million. Additionally, we borrowed approximately $25 million under the revolving credit facility. As of December 29, 2007, we had approximately $94.3 million of term debt and $20.0 million of revolving credit debt outstanding under our credit facility.

 

On February 13, 2008, we entered into a Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Second Amended Credit Agreement”).  The amended and restated credit facility consists of a revolving line of credit of up to $140.0 million and a term loan of $60.0 million.  As of March 29, 2008, we had $60.0 million in term debt and approximately $56.7 million of revolving credit debt outstanding.  The Second Amended Credit Agreement also amended debt covenant thresholds and lowered the variable rate margins that are be to be applied to LIBOR or an alternative base rate in determining the periodic interest rate.  In connection with the Second Amended Credit Agreement, the Company incurred commitment fees of approximately $0.9 million.

 

 At the time the Company borrows funds from either of the loan facilities under the Second 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 87.5 to 150 basis points or an alternative base rate plus a spread ranging from zero to 50 basis points. Under either the LIBOR or an alternative base rate option, the exact interest rate spread will be determined based upon the Company’s leverage ratio as defined in the Second Amended Credit Agreement.

 

The term loan facility requires final payment in full on the term loan maturity date of February 13, 2013.  The outstanding balance under the revolving line of credit facility will accrue interest at a variable rate, with interest only payments being required until the facility matures on February 13, 2013.   We may repay either or both of the term loan facility and the revolving loan facility in whole or in part at anytime prior to their respective maturity dates without penalty.

8.             Commitments and contingencies:

 

Leases

 

As of March 29, 2008, the Company has noncancelable operating leases, primarily for real estate, that expire over the next ten years.   Rental expense during the quarter ended March 29, 2008 was approximately $2.5 million, compared to rental expense of approximately $2.2 million during the quarter ended March 31, 2007.

 

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

 

We are a party to litigation and legal proceedings that we believe 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 generally accepted accounting principles, 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 2008.

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.

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 targets 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.  On March 24, 2008, the Company announced that its Board of Directors authorized the expansion of the Company’s stock repurchase program for the repurchase of up to an additional 700,000 shares of its common stock, which brings the total of shares of common stock authorized for repurchase to 1.0 million.  The Company had approximately 13.1 million shares outstanding as of March 29, 2008.  The stock repurchase program will be funded, up to an aggregate maximum dollar amount of $25 million, from available cash and the Company’s existing credit facility.  The timing and volume of any purchases will be guided by management’s assessment of market conditions, securities law limitations, the number of shares to common stock outstanding and alternative uses for cash resources.  Shares may be purchased in the open market, including through block purchases, or through privately negotiated transactions.  The stock repurchase program may be suspended or discontinued at any time and 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 29, 2007.   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, 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, 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 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 29, 2008 and March 31, 2007, we received 99.1% and 98.3%, 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 0.9% and 1.7%, 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 cost reimbursable revenues, as a percentage of total revenues decreased primarily due to lower equipment pass-through revenue on our C4I2TSR program.

 

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 certain 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.   Other performance based fees are recognized upon customer approval.

 

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

 

18



 

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.

 

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 Second 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 Second 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 Second Amended Credit Agreement.

 

Under the terms of our Second 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 29, 2008.

 

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 March 29, 2008 and March 31, 2007 were $21.0 million and $6.0 million, respectively.

 

Cash Flow.   The following table sets forth our sources and uses of cash and cash equivalents for the three months ended March 29, 2008 and March 31, 2007:

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 provided by operations for the three months ended March 29, 2008 was attributable to net income of $3.4 million, plus depreciation, amortization and other non-cash items of $2.8 million, and a decrease in working capital and other operating assets and liabilities of $1.1 million.  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 $2.0 million, offset by an increase in working capital and other operating assets and liabilities of $13.5 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 29, 2008, we purchased capital assets totaling $1.2 million.  During 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.

 

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 29, 2008, cash flow provided by financing activities consists of proceeds of $0.3 million from the exercise of stock options, plus proceeds of our credit facility refinancing of $116.8 million, partially offset by repayment of the line of credit and term loan portions under our prior credit facility of $114.3 million plus payments of debt issuance costs of $0.9 million.    Cash provided by financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2007 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.

Three months ended March 29, 2008 compared with three months ended March 31, 2007

 

Revenue.  For the three months ended March 29, 2008, our revenues increased 18.2% to $134.4 million from $113.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007.   Revenues from work under Federal Government contracts increased 19.1% to $133.0 million for the three months ended March 29, 2008 from $111.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007. This increase was primarily attributable to the acquisition of LOGTEC, Inc., along with 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 29, 2008, cost of services increased 24.5% to $88.3 million from $70.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007.  This increase was attributable primarily to the increase in revenue. As a percentage of revenue, cost of services was 65.7% for the three months ended March 29, 2008 as compared to 62.3% for the three months ended March 31, 2007.  The increase in cost of services, as a percentage of revenue, is due primarily to the Company increasing its use of subcontractors on programs for which we are acting as the prime contractor and higher costs during the quarter related to certain fixed price contracts.

 

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 28, 2008, indirect costs increased 13.4% to $36.4 million from $32.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007.  This $4.3 million increase was primarily attributable to the expected growth of support functions necessary to facilitate and administer the growth in direct costs, as well as the integration of LOGTEC, Inc.  As a percentage of revenue, selling, general and administrative costs were 27.1% for the three months ended March 29, 2008 as compared to 28.2% for the three months ended March 31, 2007.

 

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 the depreciation of leasehold improvements.   For the three months ended March 29, 2008, depreciation expense was $1.1 million, an increase compared to $0.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007.  As a percentage of revenue, depreciation expense was 0.8% for the three months ended March 29, 2008 compared to 0.7% for the three months ended March 31, 2007.

 

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 29, 2008, amortization of intangible assets was $1.1 million, compared to $0.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007.   As a percentage of revenue amortization of intangible assets was 0.8% for the three months ended March 29, 2008 compared to 0.7% for the three months ended March 31, 2007, with the increase due to the acquisition of LOGTEC, Inc.

 

Income from operations.  For the three months ended March 29, 2008, income from operations decreased 19.6% to $7.4 million from $9.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008.  This decrease was attributable primarily to increased costs of services, as described above.  As a percentage of revenue, income from operations was 5.5% for the three months ended March 29, 2008 compared to 8.1% for the three months ended March 31, 2007.

 

Interest expense, net.  Interest expense, net increased 21.4% to $1.7 million for the three months ended March 29, 2008 from $1.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007.  This increase was attributable primarily to an increase in debt resulting from our acquisition of LOGTEC, Inc.  The weighted average borrowings under our credit facility for the three  months ended March 29, 2008 were $45.3 million higher than the weighted average borrowings under our credit facility for the three months ended March 31, 2007.  As a percentage of revenue, interest expense, net was 1.3% for the three months ended March 29, 2008 as compared to 1.2% for the three months ended March 31, 2007.

 

Provision for  income taxes.  The provision for income taxes was $2.3 million in the three months ended March 29, 2008, compared to $3.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007.  Our first quarters of 2008 and 2007 tax provision, represent an estimated annual effective tax rate of 40%, and 39%, respectively. 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 29, 2008, 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 in this section 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.  Other performance based fees are recognized upon customer approval.

 

Revenues 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 contracts accounted for under SOP 81-1 are recognized in the period in which they become known.  Projected losses on all other contracts are recognized as the services and materials are provided.

 

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 Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123R, Share Based Payment, using the modified prospective transition method.  Due to the use of the modified prospective method, prior interim periods and fiscal years do not reflect any restated amounts.  The Company accelerated the vesting of unvested stock options previously awarded to employees, officers and directors in December 2005; thus the Company had no unvested stock options on January 1, 2006.  Since January 1, 2006, the Company has issued 679,250 stock options and restricted stock awards through March 29, 2008.  The total stock compensation expense recognized for stock options and restricted stock awards during the quarter ended March 29, 2008 was $0.4 million. The total remaining unrecognized compensation expense related to the unvested options and restricted stock awards as of March 29, 2008 was $3.9 million and $3.5 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 29, 2008, we had $116.8 million outstanding under our Second Amended Credit Agreement. A 1% change in interest rates would have resulted in our interest expense fluctuating by approximately $292,000 for the three months ended March 29, 2008.

 

Effective August 13, 2007, 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 $60.0 million and, as of March 29, 2008, had a fixed rate of 5.045%. This agreement is a hedge against term debt, which bears interest at LIBOR plus a margin which has a current rate of 4.32%. 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 29, 2008 was a current liability of $3.6 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 29, 2008.  Based upon the evaluation, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of March 29, 2008, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

 

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. During the three months ended March 29, 2008, 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

 

We are a party to litigation and legal proceedings that we believe 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 generally accepted accounting principles, 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 2008.
