Forward-looking safe harbor statement
This presentation contains certain forward-looking statements, as that term is defined in the Private Securities Litigation
Reform Act of 1995, including those relating to business performance and the Company’s plans for growth and improvement
in profitability and cash flow. You can identify these statements by the use of the words “may,”
“will,”
“could,”
“should,”
“would,”
“plans,”
“expects,”
“anticipates,”
“continue,”
“estimate,”
“project,”
“intend,”
“likely,”
“forecast,”
“probable”
and
similar expressions. These forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ
materially from those projected or anticipated. Such risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, continued funding
of defense programs, the timing of such funding, general economic and business conditions, including unforeseen weakness in
the Company’s markets, effects of continued geopolitical unrest and regional
conflicts, competition, changes in technology
and methods of marketing, delays in completing engineering and manufacturing programs, changes in customer order
patterns, changes in product mix, continued success in technological advances and delivering technological innovations,
changes in the U.S. Government’s interpretation of federal procurement rules and regulations, market acceptance of the
Company's products, shortages in components, production delays due to performance quality issues with outsourced
components, inability to fully realize the expected benefits from acquisitions or delays in realizing such benefits, challenges in
integrating acquired businesses and achieving anticipated synergies, changes to export regulations, increases in tax rates,
changes to generally accepted accounting principles, difficulties in retaining key employees and customers, unanticipated
costs under fixed-price service and system integration engagements, and various other factors beyond our control. These risks
and uncertainties also include such additional risk factors as are discussed in the Company's filings with the U.S. Securities and
Exchange Commission, including its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2012. The Company
cautions readers not to place undue reliance upon any such forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date
made. The Company undertakes no obligation to update any forward-looking statement to reflect events or circumstances
after the date on which such statement is made.
Use of Non-GAAP (Generally Accepted Accounting Principles) Financial Measures
In addition to reporting financial results in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, the Company
provides adjusted EBITDA and free cash flow, which are non-GAAP financial measures. Adjusted EBITDA excludes certain non-
cash and other specified charges. Free cash flow is defined as cash flow from operating activities less capital expenditures. 
The Company believes these non-GAAP financial measures are useful to help investors better understand its past financial
performance and prospects for the future. However, the presentation of adjusted EBITDA and free cash flow is not meant to
be considered in isolation or as a substitute for financial information provided in accordance with GAAP. Management
believes the adjusted EBITDA and free cash flow financial measures assist in providing a more complete understanding of the
Company’s underlying operational results and trends, and management uses
these measures along with the corresponding
GAAP financial measures to manage the Company’s business, to evaluate its performance compared to prior periods and the
marketplace, and to establish operational goals. A reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP financial results discussed in this
presentation is contained in the Appendix hereto.
