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 accounting principles generally accepted in the United States 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 accounting principles generally accepted in the United States 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 and nine months ended September 25, 2004 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 25, 2004. For further information, refer to the financial statements and footnotes included in SI International’s Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 27, 2003.  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 and majority-owned subsidiaries.   All significant intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

Use of estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States 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 prior to December 31 of that year, and our fiscal quarters end on the Saturday nearest but prior to the applicable quarterly month end.  As a result, our fiscal year may be comprised of 52 or 53 weeks.  The fiscal quarters presented in this Form 10-Q include 13 weeks.

 

Cash and cash equivalents

 

The Company considers all investments with maturities of three months or less at the date of purchase to be cash equivalents.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

Our accounting policy regarding revenue recognition is written to comply with the following criteria:  (1) a contract has been executed; (2) the contract price is fixed and determinable; (3) delivery of services or products has occurred; and (4) collectibility of the contract price is considered probable and can be reasonably estimated.  Compliance with these criteria may require us to make significant judgments and estimates.

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 quarter and nine months ending September 25, 2004 and September 27, 2003.

For the three and nine months ended September 25, 2004, as well as the three and nine months of 2003, we had one contract that generated more than 10% of our revenue.  Our Command, Control, Communications, Computer, Intelligence, Information, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (C4I2SR) contract with the U.S. Air Force Space Command represented approximately 21.0% and 24.6% of total revenue for the three months ended September 25, 2004 and September 27, 2003, respectively, and 15.5% and 22.4% of total revenue for the nine months ended September 25, 2004 and September 27, 2003, 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):

Deferred revenue

 

At the end of the quarter ended September 25, 2004 and the fiscal year ended December 27, 2003, we received advance payments of approximately $900,000 and $3,900,000, respectively, from a customer to purchase equipment to be used in a contract. The advances were reflected as deferred revenue as of September 25, 2004 and December 27, 2003 in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

 

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 September 25, 2004 and December 27, 2003.

 

Stock-based compensation

 

In December 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 148, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation—Transition and Disclosure—an amendment of SFAS 123.”  This statement amends SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation,” to provide alternative methods of transition for a voluntary change to the fair value based method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation.  In addition, this statement amends the disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 123 to require prominent disclosures in both annual and interim financial statements about the method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation and the effect of the method used on reported results.  The Company has chosen to continue to account for stock-based compensation using the intrinsic value method prescribed in APB Opinion No. 25 and

 

7



 

related interpretations.  Accordingly, compensation expense for stock options is measured as the excess, if any, of the fair market value of the Company’s stock at the date of the grant over the exercise price of the related option.  The Company has adopted the annual disclosure provisions of SFAS No. 148 in its financial reports for the year ended December 27, 2003 and has adopted the interim disclosure provisions for its financial reports for the quarters and nine months ended September 25, 2004 and September 27, 2003.

3.             Acquisitions:

 

On January 21, 2004, the Company completed the purchase of MATCOM International Corp., or MATCOM, a provider of information technology, systems engineering, logistics, and training.  Under the terms of the merger agreement, the Company acquired MATCOM for $65.8 million, of which $63.7 million was paid in cash to the seller. The transaction was funded through cash on hand and borrowings under the credit facility.  Contemporaneously with the closing of the acquisition of MATCOM, we amended our credit facility to increase the maximum amount of available borrowings from $35.0 million to $80.0 million, of which $30.0 million is comprised of a term loan and the remainder of a revolving credit facility, and to extend the maturity of the credit facility to January 21, 2008.  Approximately $54.2 million of the purchase consideration has been allocated to goodwill based primarily on the excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair value of net assets acquired, and approximately $5.0 million of the purchase price has been assigned to identifiable intangible assets of contractual customer relationships. The contractual customer relationships are being amortized accelerated over its estimated remaining life of 11 years.

 

The total purchase price paid, including transaction costs of $1.4 million, was allocated as follows (in thousands):

The original credit facility (the 2002 credit facility) consisted of a $35.0 million secured revolving credit arrangement with Wachovia Bank, N.A. acting as Administration Agent for a consortium of lenders.  With the closing of the acquisition of MATCOM, the Company amended the 2002 credit facility in January 2004. The amended credit facility (the 2004 credit facility) consists of a $30 million term loan and a $50.0 million secured revolving credit arrangement.  The 2004 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 of our existing and future subsidiaries.  In addition, the Company is required to maintain compliance with financial and nonfinancial covenants.

 

8.             Commitments and contingencies:

 

Leases

 

As of September 25, 2004, the Company had noncancelable operating leases, primarily for real estate, that expire over the next ten years. Rental expense during the quarter ended September 25, 2004 was approximately $1.6 million, compared to rental expense of approximately $1.3 million during the quarter ended September 27, 2003.

 

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 provisional rates unless collectibility is reasonably assured for costs incurred at higher rates. 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

 

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.

 

11



 

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.

 

9.             Stockholders’ equity:

 

Stock option plan

 

In 2002, the Company adopted the 2002 Stock Incentive Plan to grant stock options to purchase up to 1,600,000 shares of its common stock to its employees and employees of its affiliates.  In March 2004, the Board of Directors increased the number of reserved shares by 160,000 so that the total number of reserved shares totals 1,760,000.  The terms of the 2002 Stock Incentive Plan state that this ceiling of 1,600,000 shares of common stock shall automatically increase at the beginning of each fiscal year by a number of shares equal to the lesser of 160,000 shares of common stock and an amount determined by the Company’s Board of Directors.  As of September 25, 2004, the Company had issued 1,405,929 stock options under the 2002 Stock Incentive Plan against a ceiling of 1,760,000 shares of common stock authorized under this plan.

 

Common stock offering

 

On October 6, 2004, the Company and affiliates of Frontenac sold an aggregate of 3,520,000 shares of the Company’s common stock in an underwritten public offering priced at $21.85 per share.  Of the 3,520,000 shares offered, 2,520,000 shares were sold by the Company, including an option to purchase 320,000 shares to cover over-allotments that was granted to, and exercised by, the underwriters, and 1,000,000 shares were sold by the selling stockholders.  In connection with the secondary offering, the Company received approximately $51.3 million in net proceeds, which was primarily used to payoff the $27.0 million of term loan borrowings and the $16.0 million of borrowings under the revolving line of credit on October 8, 2004The Company will write-off a portion of deferred financing costs associated with the pay-off of the borrowings, which will be reflected in the Company’s fourth quarter of fiscal 2004.  The Company has incurred approximately $775,000 in costs in connection with this offering of common stock.  Such costs will be netted against the proceeds and recorded in stockholder's equity.

 

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/A for the fiscal year ended December 27, 2003.   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.

 

Our fiscal year is based on the calendar year and ends each year on the Saturday closest to but prior to December 31 of that year, and our fiscal quarter ends 13 weeks after the conclusion of the previous fiscal quarter.

We have derived a substantial majority of our revenues from governmental contracts under which we act as a prime contractor. We also provide services indirectly as a subcontractor. We intend to focus on retaining and increasing the percentage of our business as prime contractor because it provides us with client relationships that generate higher levels of revenue. The following table shows our revenues as prime contractor and as subcontractor as a percentage of our total revenue for the following periods:

Under cost reimbursable contracts, we are reimbursed for costs that are determined to be reasonable, allowable and allocable to the contract, and paid a fee representing the profit margin negotiated between us and the contracting agency, which may be fixed or performance based. Under cost reimbursable contracts we recognize revenues and an estimate of applicable fees earned as costs are incurred. We consider fixed fees under cost reimbursable contracts to be earned in proportion to the allowable costs incurred in performance of the contract. For performance-based fees under cost reimbursable contracts, we recognize 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. In general, cost reimbursable contracts are the least profitable of our government contracts. In the three and nine months ended September 25, 2004, 33.3% and 28.5%, respectively, of our revenues were derived from cost reimbursable contracts.  In the three and nine months ended September 27, 2003, 40.4% and 38.4%, respectively, of our revenues were derived from cost reimbursable contracts.

 

Under time and materials contracts, we are reimbursed for labor at fixed hourly rates and generally reimbursed separately for allowable materials, costs and expenses. 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. In general, we realize a higher profit margin on work performed under time and materials contracts than cost reimbursable contracts. In the three and nine months ended September 25, 2004, 46.6% and 48.1%, respectively, of our revenues were derived from time and materials contracts.  In the three and nine months ended September 27, 2003, 32.4% and 35.6%, respectively, of our revenues were derived from time and material contracts.

 

Under fixed price contracts, we perform specific tasks for a fixed price. Compared to cost reimbursable and time and materials contracts, fixed price contracts generally offer higher profit margin opportunities but involve greater financial risk because we bear the impact of cost overruns in return for the full benefit of any cost savings. We generally do not undertake complex, high-risk work, such as long-term software development, under fixed price terms. Fixed price contracts may include either a product delivery or specific service performance over a defined period.  Revenue on fixed price contracts that provide for the Company to render services throughout a period is recognized as earned according to contract terms as the service is provided on a proportionate performance basis.  These contracts are generally less than six months in duration.  For fixed price contracts that provide for the delivery of a specific product with related customer acceptance provisions, revenues are recognized as those products are delivered and accepted.  In the three and nine months ended September 25, 2004, 20.1% and 23.4%, respectively, of our revenues were derived from fixed price contracts.   In the three and nine months ended September 27, 2003, 27.2% and 26.0%, respectively, of our revenues were derived from fixed price contracts.

 

If we anticipate a loss on a contract, we provide for the full amount of anticipated loss at the time of that determination.

 

Our most significant expense is direct cost, which consists primarily of direct labor costs for program personnel and direct expenses incurred to complete contracts, including cost of materials and subcontractor costs. Our ability to predict accurately the number and types of personnel, their salaries, and other costs, can have a significant impact on our direct cost.

 

The allowability of certain direct and indirect costs in federal contracts is subject to audit by the client, usually through the DCAA. Certain indirect costs are charged to contracts and paid by the client using provisional, or estimated, indirect rates, which are subject to later revision, based on the government audits of those costs.

 

We actively monitor our relationships with our clients during our engagements, as well as the quality of the service we provide, to assist in our efforts to win recompetition bids. In addition, we strive to maintain good relationships with a wide variety of government contractors.

 

Subsequent Events

 

On October 6, 2004, the Company and affiliates of Frontenac sold an aggregate of 3,520,000 shares of the Company’s common stock in an underwritten public offering priced at $21.85 per share.  Of the 3,520,000 shares offered, 2,520,000 shares were sold by the Company, including an option to purchase 320,000 shares to cover over-allotments that was granted to, and exercised by, the underwriters, and 1,000,000 shares were sold by the selling stockholders.   In connection with the secondary offering, the Company received approximately $51.3 million in net proceeds, which was

primarily used to payoff the $27.0 million of term loan borrowings and the $16.0 million of borrowings under the revolving line of credit on October 8, 2004.  The Company will write-off a portion of deferred financing costs associated with the pay-off of the borrowings, which will be reflected in the Company’s fourth quarter of fiscal 2004.  The Company has incurred approximately $775,000 in costs in connection with this offering of common stock.  Such costs will be netted against the proceeds and recorded in stockholder's equity.  Additional information relating to this event is included below in the Section entitled “Liquidity and Capital Resources.”

Three months ended September 25, 2004 compared with three months ended September 27, 2003

 

Revenue.  For the three months ended September 25, 2004, our revenues increased 73.3% to $72.9 million from $42.1 million for the three months ended September 27, 2003. Revenues from work under Federal government contracts increased 77.7% to $70.0 million for the three months ended September 25, 2004 from $39.4 million for the three months ended September 27, 2003. This increase was primarily attributable to increased activity in our applications development, engineering and network solutions services and revenue from our most recent acquisition, MATCOM.  Commercial revenues increased 6.3% to $2.9 million in the three months ended September 25, 2004 from $2.7 million in the three months ended September 27, 2003.

 

Direct costs.  Direct costs include direct labor and other direct costs such as materials and subcontracts. Generally, changes in direct costs are correlated to changes in revenue as resources are consumed in the production of that revenue. For the three months ended September 25, 2004, direct costs increased 90.1% to $49.1 million from $25.8 million for the three months ended September 27, 2003. This increase was attributable primarily to the increase in revenue. As a percentage of revenue, direct costs were 67.2% for the three months ended September 25, 2004 as compared to 61.3% for the three months ended September 27, 2003.

 

Indirect costs.  Indirect costs include facilities, selling, bid and proposal, indirect labor, fringe benefits and other discretionary costs. For the three months ended September 25, 2004, indirect costs increased 43.0% to $17.6 million from $12.3 million for the three months ended September 27, 2003.  This $5.3 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 acquisition of MATCOM and the growth in our sales and marketing efforts.  As a percentage of revenue, indirect costs were 24.2% for the three months ended September 25, 2004 as compared to 29.3% for the three months ended September 27, 2003.

 

Depreciation. For the three months ended September 25, 2004, depreciation expense increased 3.8% to $0.52 million from $0.50 million for the three months ended September 27, 2003.  This increase was attributable primarily to increased levels of capital expenditures. As a percentage of revenue, depreciation expense was 0.7% for the three months ended September 25, 2004 compared to 1.2% for the three months ended September 27, 2003.

 

15



 

Amortization of intangible assets. For the three months ended September 25, 2004, amortization of intangible assets was $0.17 million, compared to $0 for the three months ended September 27, 2003.  This increase was attributed to the acquisition of MATCOM.  The Company uses an accelerated method of amortization.

 

Income from operations.  For the three months ended September 25, 2004, income from operations increased 60.8% to $5.5 million from $3.4 million for the three months ended September 27, 2003. This increase was attributable primarily to increased revenues.  As a percentage of revenue, income from operations was 7.7% for the three months ended September 25, 2004 compared to 8.2% for the three months ended September 27, 2003.

 

Interest expense.  Interest expense increased 330.4% to $0.69 million for the three months ended September 25, 2004 from $0.16 million for the three months ended September 27, 2003. This increase was attributable primarily to increased borrowings under our credit facility made in connection with the acquisition of MATCOM.  As a percentage of revenue, interest expense was 1.0% for the three months ended September 25, 2004 as compared to 0.4% for the three months ended September 27, 2003.  We anticipate interest expense to remain at higher levels throughout fiscal year 2004 as compared to the same periods in 2003.

 

Provision for/benefit from income taxes.  The provision for income tax was $1.9 million in the three months ended September 25, 2004, compared to $1.3 million for the three months ended September 27, 2003.   For the third quarters of both 2004 and 2003, our tax provision represents an effective tax rate of 39.5%.  Our effective tax rate is greater than the federal statutory rate of 34% due primarily to state income tax rates.

 

Nine months ended September 25, 2004 compared with nine months ended September 27, 2003

 

Revenue.  For the nine months ended September 25, 2004, our revenues increased 55.2% to $192.7 million from $124.1 million for the nine months ended September 27, 2003. Revenues from work under Federal government contracts increased 59.4% to $185.5 million for the nine months ended September 25, 2004 from $116.0 million for the nine months ended September 27, 2003. This increase was attributable primarily to increased activities in our outsourcing, applications development, engineering and network solutions services and revenue from our most recent acquisition, MATCOM.  Commercial revenues decreased 11.1% to $7.2 million in the nine months ended September 25, 2004 from $8.1 million in the nine months ended September 27, 2003.  The decrease was attributable primarily to increase in our focus on Federal government support.

 

Direct costs.  Direct costs include direct labor and other direct costs such as materials and subcontracts. Generally, changes in direct costs are correlated to changes in revenue as resources are consumed in the production of that revenue. For the nine months ended September 25, 2004, direct costs increased 61.6% to $121.4 million from $75.1 million for the nine months ended September 27, 2003. This increase was attributable primarily to the increase in revenue. As a percentage of revenue, direct costs were 63.0% for the nine months ended September 25, 2004 as compared to 60.5% for the nine months ended September 27, 2003.

 

Indirect costs.  Indirect costs include facilities, selling, bid and proposal, indirect labor, fringe benefits and other discretionary costs. For the nine months ended September 25, 2004, indirect costs increased 39.7% to $54.0 million from $38.6 million for the nine months ended September 27, 2003.  This 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 acquisition of MATCOM and the growth in our sales and marketing efforts.    As a percentage of revenue, indirect costs were 28.0% for the nine months ended September 25, 2004 as compared to 31.1% for the nine months ended September 27, 2003.

 

Depreciation. For the nine months ended September 25, 2004, depreciation expense was $1.7 million as compared to $1.5 million for the nine months ended September 27, 2003.  As a percentage of revenue, depreciation expense was 0.9% for the nine months ended September 25, 2004 compared to 1.2% for the nine months ended September 27, 2003.

 

Amortization of intangible assets. For the nine months ended September 25, 2004, amortization of intangible assets was $0.5 million, compared to $0 for the nine months ended September 27, 2003.  This increase was attributed to the acquisition of MATCOM.  The Company uses an accelerated method of amortization.

Income from operations.  For the nine months ended September 25, 2004, income from operations increased 70.7% to $15.1 million from $8.9 million for the nine months ended September 27, 2003. This increase was attributable primarily to the higher revenue.  As a percentage of revenue, income from operations was 7.9% for the nine months ended September 25, 2004 compared to 7.2% for the nine months ended September 27, 2003.

 

Interest expense.  Interest expense increased 318.8% to $2.0 million for the nine months ended September 25, 2004 from $0.47 million for the nine months ended September 27, 2003. This increase was attributable primarily to increased borrowings under our credit facility made in connection with the acquisition of MATCOM.  As a percentage of revenue, interest expense was 1.1% for the nine months ended September 25, 2004 as compared to 0.4% for the nine months ended September 27, 2003.  We anticipate interest expense to remain at higher levels throughout fiscal year 2004 as compared to the same periods in 2003.

 

Provision for/benefit from income taxes.  The provision for income tax was $5.2 million in the nine months ended September 25, 2004, compared to $3.3 million for the nine months ended September 27, 2003.   For both the nine months ended September 25, 2004 and the nine months ended September 27, 2003, we have recorded an expense for income tax, which reflects an effective rate of 39.5%.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Our primary liquidity needs are the financing of working capital, capital expenditures and acquisitions. We have historically relied primarily on cash flow from operations, borrowings under our credit facility and from some of our stockholders and the sale of common and preferred stock to provide for our cash needs.

 

Net cash provided by operations was $6.7 million for the nine months ended September 25, 2004 compared with $15.1 million net cash provided by operations for the nine months ended September 27, 2003.  Cash provided by operations in the nine months ended September 25, 2004 was attributable to net income of $8.0 million, depreciation, amortization and other non-cash items of $4.0 million, offset by an increase in net operating assets by $5.3 million. Cash provided by operations in the nine months ended September 27, 2003 was attributable to net income of $5.1 million, depreciation, amortization and other non-cash items of $2.1 million, and decrease in working capital and other operating assets and liabilities of $7.9 million.

 

Cash used in investing activities was $67.1 million for the nine months ended September 25, 2004 and $1.0 million for the nine months ended September 27, 2003.  For the nine months ended September 25, 2004, we acquired MATCOM for $66.1 million and invested $1.0 million in capital assets.  For the nine months ended September 27, 2003, we invested $1.0 million in capital assets.

 

Cash provided by (used in) financing activities was $42.1 million for the nine months ended September 25, 2004, compared with cash used in financing activities of $2.4 million for the nine months ended September 27, 2003.  Cash provided by financing activities for the nine months ended September 25, 2004 was attributable to $16.0 million net borrowings under our revolving line of credit, $30.0 million of long-term debt provided by our credit facility and $0.4 million provided by proceeds from the exercise of stock options, partially offset by $1.2 million repayments of debt issuance fees, $3.0 million for repayment of long-term debt, and $0.1 million of capital lease payments.   Cash used in financing activities for the nine months ended September 27, 2003 was attributable to repayments for notes and leases of $0.2 million and repayment of bank overdrafts of $2.2 million.

 

Cash and cash equivalents as of September 25, 2004 and September 27, 2003 were $4.9 million and $22.5 million, respectively.

 

In connection with the acquisition of MATCOM, we amended our credit facility to increase the borrowing capacity from $35 million to $80 million and extended the term to January 21, 2008.

 

The amended credit facility includes a $30 million term loan and a $50 million revolving credit facility. Under the term loan, we are required to make three $1.5 million quarterly principal payments starting on June 30, 2004, eight $1.875 million quarterly principal payments starting on March 31, 2005, three $2.25 million quarterly principal payments starting on March 31, 2007, and a final $3.75 million principal payment on December 31, 2007.  In connection with the secondary offering that closed on October 6, 2004, the Company paid off the $27.0 million of term loan borrowings and the $16.0 million of borrowings under the revolving line of credit on October 8, 2004.  In connection with the early repayment of

 

17



 

debt, the Company will write-off of a portion of deferred financing costs in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2004.

 

The amended credit facility permits us, subject to our compliance with financial and nonfinancial covenants and customary conditions, to make up to $50.0 million of revolving credit borrowings and also provides for the issuance of letters of credit, although the amount of available revolving credit borrowings is reduced by the amount of any outstanding letters of credit issued under the facility.

 

Any borrowings outstanding under the facility will, at our option, bear interest either at floating rates equal to LIBOR plus a spread ranging from 275 to 350 basis points or a specified base rate plus a spread ranging from 175 to 250 basis points, with the exact spread determined upon the basis of our ratio of outstanding indebtedness to our earnings before interest, taxes, and depreciation and amortization expense, as defined in the new credit facility.

 

We and each of our existing and future subsidiaries are jointly and severally liable with respect to the payment of all borrowings and other amounts due and performance of all obligations under the new credit facility. The new 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 of our existing and future subsidiaries. The new credit facility requires us to make mandatory prepayments of outstanding borrowings, with a corresponding reduction in the maximum amount of borrowings available under the facility; net proceeds from certain insurance recoveries and asset sales, 100% of the net proceeds from debt issuances, and 50% of the net proceeds from certain equity issuances are subject to specified exceptions. Also, the new credit facility includes a number of restrictive covenants including, among other things, limitations on our leverage and capital expenditures, limitations on our ability to incur additional indebtedness or liens, requirements that we maintain minimum ratios of cash flow to fixed charges and prohibitions on payment of dividends on our capital stock, limitations on our ability to enter into mergers, acquisitions or sales of our assets, and prohibitions on certain transactions among our subsidiaries and affiliated companies. The new credit facility also contains events of default, including, among other events, any transaction resulting in a new stockholder or group of stockholders acquiring control of our board of directors or ownership of greater than 40% of our outstanding capital stock, any default by us under any material government contract or other material contract to which we are a party, and the suspension of our ability to enter into contracts with the federal, state or local governments generally.

 

We currently anticipate that cash flow from operations and borrowings available under our new credit facility will be sufficient to meet our presently anticipated capital needs for at least the next twelve months, but may be insufficient to provide funds necessary for any future acquisitions we may make, whether during the next twelve months or thereafter. To the extent that we require additional funds, whether for acquisitions or otherwise, we may seek additional equity or debt financing.

 

On March 22, 2004, we filed a shelf registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission relating to the future offering of up to an aggregate of $100 million of our common stock, preferred stock, depositary shares, debt securities and warrants exercisable for common or preferred stock.  The shelf registration statement also registers the offering of up to 1,500,000 shares of common stock held by affiliates of Frontenac Company, our largest stockholder.  On May 21, 2004, the shelf registration statement was declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission.  On October 6, 2004, the Company and affiliates of Frontenac sold an aggregate of 3,200,000 shares of the Company’s common stock in an underwritten public offering priced at $21.85 per share.  Of the 3,200,000 shares offered, 2,200,000 shares were sold by the Company and 1,000,000 shares were sold by the selling stockholders.  In connection with this offering, the Company received approximately $51.3 million in net proceeds.  The Company will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale of common stock by the selling stockholders.  The Company also granted the underwriters an option to purchase up to 320,000 shares solely to cover over-allotments, which the underwriters exercised.

 

The Company incurred approximately $775,000 in costs in connection with the filing of the shelf registration statement in March 2004, a proposed public offering of common stock that was contemplated during May 2004, and the secondary offering that closed in October 2004.  Such costs will be netted against the proceeds and recorded in stockholder’s equity upon closing of the offering.

 

Financial data for all of our subsidiaries are included in our consolidated financial statements.

 

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

 

18



 

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 accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. 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

 

Our accounting policy regarding revenue recognition is written to comply with the following criteria: (1) a contract has been executed; (2) the contract price is fixed and determinable; (3) delivery of services or products has occurred; and (4) collectibility of the contract price is considered probable and can be reasonably estimated. Compliance with these criteria may require us to make significant judgments and estimates.

 

For cost reimbursable contracts with fixed fees and fixed price contracts, we estimate the applicable fees earned as costs are incurred or services are provided. This process requires estimation of the contemplated level of effort to accomplish the tasks under contract and the cost of such effort, as well as ongoing assessment towards completing the contract. We utilize a number of management processes to monitor contract performance and revenue estimates, including monthly in-process reviews. For cost reimbursable contracts with performance-based fees, we estimate the applicable fees earned based on historical experience and performance evaluations from our customers. For fixed price contracts that are based on unit pricing, we recognize revenue for the number of units delivered in any given fiscal period.  For fixed price contracts that are based on the proportionate performance method and involve a specified number of similar acts, we recognize revenue based on the proportion of those acts completed compared to the number of total specified acts required by the contract.  For fixed price contracts that are based on the proportionate performance method and involve a specified number of defined but not similar acts, we recognize revenue based on the proportion of the project’s percentage total costs incurred compared to the estimated total costs associated with the entire transaction.  Occasionally, facts may develop that require revisions to estimated total costs or revenues expected. The cumulative effect of any such revisions is recorded in the period in which the facts requiring the revision become known. The full amounts of anticipated losses on any contract type are recognized in the period in which they become known.

 

In addition, certain indirect costs are charged to contracts and paid by the client using provisional, or estimated, indirect rates that are subject to later revision based on government audits. Any costs found to be improperly allocated to a specific contract will not be reimbursed, and any such costs already reimbursed must be refunded.

 

Stock Based Compensation

 

We account for stock-based compensation using the intrinsic value method prescribed in APB Opinion No. 25 and related interpretations. Accordingly, compensation expense for stock options is measured as the excess, if any, of the fair market value of the Company’s stock at the date of the grant over the exercise price of the related option.  We have adopted the annual disclosure provisions of SFAS No. 148 in our financial reports for the year ended December 31, 2003.  The disclosures determine compensation cost for the Company’s stock options based on SFAS No. 123, which reflects the fair value of each option estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model.

 

Item 3.    Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

 

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.

 

Disclosure Controls and Procedures.  The Company has established and maintains disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that material information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that

 

19



 

it files under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, such as this report on Form 10-Q, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. These controls and procedures are based closely on the definition of “disclosure controls and procedures” in Rule 13a-15(e) promulgated under the Exchange Act.  Rules adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission require that we present the conclusions of the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer about the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report

 

Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls.  Management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, do not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures will prevent all errors and all fraud.  In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance of achieving the desired control objectives.  Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management’s override of the control. The design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions; over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.

 

Scope of the Evaluation. The evaluation by our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer of our disclosure controls and procedures included a review of procedures and discussions with our Audit Committee, our accounting management team, and others in our organization. In the course of the evaluation, we sought to identify data errors, control problems or acts of fraud and to confirm that appropriate corrective action, including process improvements, were being undertaken.

 

The overall goals of these various evaluation activities are to monitor our disclosure controls and procedures and to make modifications as necessary. Our intent in this regard is that the disclosure controls and procedures will be maintained as systems that change (including with improvements and corrections) as conditions warrant. Among other matters, we sought in our evaluation to determine whether there were any “significant deficiencies” or “material weaknesses” in our internal control over financial reporting, or whether we had identified any acts of fraud involving personnel who have a significant role in our internal control over financial reporting. This information was important both for the evaluation generally and because the Section 302 certifications require that our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer disclose that information to the Audit Committee of our Board of Directors and to our independent auditors and to report on related matters in this section of the report on Form 10-Q. In the professional auditing literature, “significant deficiencies” are referred to as “reportable conditions”; these are control issues that could have a significant adverse effect on the ability to record, process, summarize and report financial data in the financial statements. A “material weakness” is defined in the auditing literature as a particularly serious reportable condition where the internal control does not reduce to a relatively low level the risk that misstatements caused by error or fraud may occur in amounts that would be material in relation to the financial statements and not be detected within a timely period by employees in the normal course of performing their assigned functions. We also sought to deal with other control matters in the evaluation, and in each case if a problem was identified, we considered what revision, improvement and/or correction was necessary to be made in accordance with our on-going procedures.

 

Periodic Evaluation and Conclusion.  Under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, the Company carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of disclosure controls and procedures as of September 25, 2004.  Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective at the reasonable assurance level as of September 25, 2004 in timely alerting them to material information relating to the Company (including its consolidated subsidiaries) required to be included in the Company’s periodic SEC filings.

 

20



 

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting.  During the three months ended September 25, 2004, there were no changes to the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that materially affected, or are reasonable likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over 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.
