NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)
Note 1 — Basis of Presentation and Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
DynCorp International Inc., through its subsidiaries, provides defense and technical services and government outsourced solutions primarily to U.S. government agencies. Our specific global expertise is in law enforcement training and support, security services, base operations, and aviation services and operations. References herein to “DynCorp International”, the “Company”, “we”, “our”, or “us” refer to DynCorp International Inc. and its subsidiaries unless otherwise stated or indicated by context.
The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its domestic and foreign subsidiaries. These condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company, without audit, pursuant to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X.
Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. However, the Company believes that all disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and the related notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the SEC on June 18, 2007.
In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary to fairly present the Company’s financial position at December 28, 2007 and March 30, 2007, the results of operations for the three and nine months ended December 28, 2007 and December 29, 2006, and cash flows for the nine months ended December 28, 2007 and December 29, 2006, have been included. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended December 28, 2007 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full fiscal year or for any future periods. The Company uses estimates and assumptions required for preparation of the financial statements. The estimates are primarily based on historical experience and business knowledge and are revised as circumstances change. However, actual results could differ from the estimates.
The Company reports the results of its operations using a 52-53 week basis. In line with this reporting schedule, each quarter of the fiscal year will contain 13 weeks except for the infrequent fiscal years with 53 weeks. The fiscal year ended March 30, 2007 and the fiscal year ending March 28, 2008 both contain 52 weeks. For presentation purposes in this Quarterly Report, the periods are shown as three and nine months ended December 28, 2007 and December 29, 2006, as applicable.
Income Taxes, Deferred Taxes, Tax Valuation Allowances and Tax Reserves
At the beginning of fiscal 2008, we adopted Financial Interpretation (“FIN”) No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes — an Interpretation of Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Statement No. 109.” FIN No. 48 addresses the determination of whether tax benefits claimed or expected to be claimed on a tax return should be recorded in the financial statements. Under FIN No. 48, we recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities. The determination is based on the technical merits of the position and presumes that each uncertain tax position will be examined by the relevant taxing authority that has full knowledge of all relevant information.
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its domestic and foreign subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. Generally, investments in which the Company owns a 20% to 50% ownership interest are accounted for by the equity method. These investments are in business entities in which the Company does not have control, but has the ability to exercise significant influence over operating and financial policies and is not the primary beneficiary as defined in Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Interpretation No. 46R (Revised 2003), “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities” (“FIN 46R”). The Company has no investments in business entities of less than 20%.

Table of Contents

The following table sets forth the Company’s ownership in joint ventures and companies that are not consolidated into the Company’s financial statements as of December 28, 2007, and are accounted for by the equity method. Economic rights are indicated by the ownership percentages listed below.
         
DynEgypt LLC
    50.0 %
Dyn Puerto Rico Corporation
    49.9 %
Contingency Response Services LLC
    45.0 %
Babcock DynCorp Limited
    44.0 %
Partnership for Temporary Housing LLC
    40.0 %
DCP Contingency Services LLC
    40.0 %
The Company has a 51% ownership interest in Global Linguist Solutions LLC, and therefore the right to elect half of the Board of Directors of such entity, is the primary beneficiary as defined in FIN No. 46R and is consolidated into the Company’s financial statements as of December 28, 2007.
During the three months ended September 28, 2007, the Company acquired the remaining 50 percent of DynCorp-Hiberna Ltd. from the joint venture partner for approximately $400,000, net of cash acquired and changed the name to DCH Limited . The assets, liabilities, and results of operations of the entity acquired were not material to the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations, thus pro-forma information is not presented. In addition, during the three months ended December 28, 2007 Global Nation Building LLC was terminated due to inactivity.
Other Accounting Policies
Other significant accounting policies, for which no significant changes have occurred in the nine months ended December 28, 2007, are detailed in Note 1 of our 2007 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on June 18, 2007.
Accounting Developments
Pronouncements Implemented
In February 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 155, “Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments,” which amends SFAS No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities,” and SFAS No. 140, “Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities.” SFAS No. 155 is effective for all financial instruments acquired or issued after the beginning of an entity’s fiscal year that begins after September 15, 2006. Our adoption of SFAS No. 155 in the first quarter of fiscal year 2008 had no impact on our consolidated financial condition or results of operations.
In March 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 156, “Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets - an amendment of Statement No. 140.” SFAS No. 156 clarifies when an obligation to service financial assets should be separately recognized as a servicing asset or a servicing liability and requires that a separately recognized servicing asset or servicing liability be initially measured at fair value and permits an entity with a separately recognized servicing asset or servicing liability to choose either the amortization method or fair value method for subsequent measurement. SFAS No. 156 is effective for all separately recognized servicing assets and liabilities acquired or issued after the beginning of an entity’s fiscal year that begins after September 15, 2006. Our adoption of SFAS No. 156 in the first quarter of fiscal year 2008 had no impact on our consolidated financial condition or results of operations.
In July 2006, the FASB issued FIN No. 48, which clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements in accordance with SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes.” The provisions of FIN No. 48 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. The impact on our consolidated financial condition and results of operations of adopting FIN No. 48 in the first quarter of fiscal 2008 is presented in Note 4.
Pronouncements Not Yet Implemented
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements.” SFAS No. 157 establishes a single definition of fair value and a framework for measuring fair value under GAAP and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 applies under other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements; however, it does not require any new fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, though a recently proposed FASB staff position may delay certain portions of the Statement. We do not expect the adoption of SFAS No. 157 to have a material impact on our consolidated financial condition and results of operations.

Table of Contents

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 many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value that are not currently required to be measured at fair value. It provides entities with the opportunity to mitigate volatility in reported earnings caused by measuring related assets and liabilities differently without having to apply complex hedge accounting provisions. SFAS No. 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. We do not expect the adoption of SFAS No. 159 to have a material impact on our consolidated financial condition and results of operations.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements”, which is an amendment of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51. This statement clarifies that a noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary is an ownership interest in the consolidated entity that should be reported as equity in the consolidated financial statements. This statement changes the way the consolidated income statement is presented, thus requiring consolidated net income to be reported at amounts that include the amounts attributable to both parent and the noncontrolling interest. This statement is effective for the fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2008. We are currently assessing the impact of the statement.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (revised 2007), “Business Combinations.” This statement replaces FASB Statement No. 141, “Business Combinations.” This statement retains the fundamental requirements in SFAS 141 that the acquisition method of accounting (which SFAS 141 called the purchase method) be used for all business combinations and for an acquirer to be identified for each business combination. This statement defines the acquirer as the entity that obtains control of one or more businesses in the business combination and establishes the acquisition date as the date that the acquirer achieves control. This statement requires an acquirer to recognize the assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree at the acquisition date, measured at their fair values as of that date, with limited exceptions specified in the statement. This statement applies prospectively to 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. We are currently assessing the impact of the statement.
Note 2 — Earnings Per Share
Basic earnings per share is based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during each period. Diluted earnings per share is based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding and the effect of all dilutive common stock equivalents during each period. The Company did not have any dilutive stock equivalents during the periods presented. At December 28, 2007, 147,150 of restricted stock units (footnote 10) were not included in the diluted earnings per share calculation because they were anti-dilutive. These restricted stock units may be dilutive in future earnings per share calculations. The following table reconciles the numerators and denominators used in the computations of basic and diluted earnings per share

Note 4 — Income Taxes
We adopted the provisions of FIN No. 48 at the beginning of fiscal 2008. FIN No. 48 addresses the determination of whether tax benefits claimed or expected to be claimed on a tax return should be recorded in the financial statements. FIN No. 48 also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties on income taxes, accounting in interim periods and requires increased disclosures.
The cumulative effect of adopting FIN No. 48, net of adjustments to deferred tax assets, was an increase to liabilities and a decrease to opening retained earnings of $1.4 million at March 31, 2007.
As of December 28, 2007, the estimated amount of the Company’s uncertain tax positions was a liability of $4.9 million resulting from unrecognized net tax benefits, including penalties and interest. The liability is carried in other accrued liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheet, net of approximately $1.8 million which is reported as long-term.
The Company recognizes accrued interest related to uncertain tax positions in interest expense. The balance of accrued interest recorded on the balance sheet at December 28, 2007 was approximately $0.6 million. The Company recognizes accrued penalties related to uncertain tax positions in income tax expense. The balance of accrued penalties recorded on the balance sheet as of December 28, 2007 was approximately $0.2 million. At December 28, 2007, the amount of unrecognized tax benefits that, if recognized, would affect the effective tax rate was $1.1 million.
It is reasonably possible that the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits could decrease approximately $3.0 million to $4.0 million primarily due to items that were not fixed and determinable as of December 28, 2007 and for which economic performance is expected to occur in the next 12 months.
The Company and its subsidiaries file income tax returns in U.S. federal and state jurisdictions and in various foreign jurisdictions and is currently under audit by the Internal Revenue Service for fiscal year 2006. In addition, the statute of limitations is open for U.S. federal and state income tax examinations for the Company’s fiscal year 2005 forward and, with few exceptions, foreign income tax examinations for the calendar year 2003 forward.
Note 5 — Accounts Receivable

Unbilled receivables at December 28, 2007 and March 30, 2007 include $42.2 million and $38.3 million, respectively, related to costs incurred on projects for which the Company has been requested by the customer to begin work under a new contract or extend work under an existing contract, and for which formal contracts or contract modifications have not been executed at the end of the respective periods. The balance of unbilled receivables consists of costs and fees billable immediately on contract completion or other specified events, the majority of which is expected to be billed and collected within one year. At December 28, 2007, approximately $4.8 million formerly classified as other receivables was reclassified to prepaid expenses and other current assets.

For a description of our indebtedness, see Note 8, Long-term Debt, to the consolidated financial statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on June 18, 2007.
The Company is required, under certain circumstances as defined in its credit agreement, to make a payment to reduce the outstanding principal of the term loans in the following year (the “Excess Cash Flow Payment”). Such payments are due at the end of the first quarter of the following fiscal year. As a result, the Company made payments of approximately $34.6 million on the term loans during the first quarter of fiscal 2008 related to the Excess Cash Flow Payment for the fiscal year ended March 30, 2007. The Excess Cash Flow Payment is an annual requirement under the credit agreement, and the Company cannot estimate with certainty what the Excess Cash Flow Payment will be, if any, for the fiscal year ended March 28, 2008.
At December 28, 2007, availability under the revolving credit line for additional borrowings was approximately $65.5 million, which gives effect to approximately $24.0 million of outstanding letters of credit, which reduced the Company’s availability by that amount and $13.5 million outstanding under the revolving credit line. The credit agreement requires an unused line fee equal to 0.5% per annum, payable quarterly in arrears, of the unused portion of the revolving credit facility.
Note 7 — Commitments and Contingencies
Commitments
The Company has non-cancelable operating leases for the use of real estate and certain property and equipment. All lease payments are based on the lapse of time but include, in some cases, payments for insurance, maintenance and property taxes. There are no purchase options on operating leases at favorable terms, but most leases have one or more renewal options. Certain leases on real estate property are subject to annual escalations for increases in utilities and property taxes. Lease rental expense amounted to $14.6 million and $6.9 million for the three months ended December 28, 2007 and December 29, 2006, respectively, and $39.3 million and $39.2 million for the nine months ended December 28, 2007 and December 29, 2006, respectively.
Contingencies
General Legal Matters
The Company and its subsidiaries and affiliates are involved in various lawsuits and claims that have arisen in the normal course of business. In most cases, the Company has denied, or believes it has a basis to deny any liability. Related to these matters, the Company has recorded its best estimate of the aggregate liability of approximately $4.0 million and believes that these matters are adequately reserved. While it is not possible to predict with certainty the outcome of litigation and other matters discussed below, it is the opinion of the Company’s management, based in part upon opinions of counsel, insurance in force and the facts currently known, that liabilities in excess of those recorded, if any, arising from such matters would not have a material adverse effect on the results of operations, consolidated financial condition or liquidity of the Company over the long term.

Pending Litigation and Claims
On April 24, 2007, March 14, 2007, December 29, 2006 and December 4, 2006 four lawsuits were served, seeking unspecified monetary damages against DynCorp International LLC and several of its former affiliates in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida, concerning the spraying of narcotic plant crops along the Colombian border adjacent to Ecuador. Three of the lawsuits, filed on behalf of the Providences of Esmeraldas, Sucumbíos, and Carchi in Ecuador, allege violations of Ecuadorian law, international law, and the statutes and common law of Florida, including negligence, trespass, and nuisance. The fourth lawsuit, filed on behalf of 1,663 citizens of the Ecuadorian provinces of Esmeraldas and Sucumbíos, alleges personal injury, various counts of negligence, trespass, battery, assault, intentional infliction of emotional distress, violations of the Alien Tort Claims Act, and various violations of international law. The Department of State (“DoS”) contract under which this work is performed provides indemnification to the Company against third-party liabilities arising out of the contract, subject to available funding. The four lawsuits were consolidated and, based on the Company’s motion granted by the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida on May 22, 2007, subsequently transferred to the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia.
On May 29, 2003, Gloria Longest, a former accounting manager for the Company, filed suit against DynCorp International LLC under the False Claims Act and the Florida Whistleblower Statute, alleging that it submitted false claims to the government under the International Narcotics & Law Enforcement Affairs contract with the DoS. The action, titled U.S. ex rel. Longest v. DynCorp and DynCorp International LLC, was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Florida under seal. The case was unsealed in 2005, and the Company learned of its existence on August 15, 2005 when it was served with the complaint. After conducting an investigation of the allegations made by the plaintiff, the U.S. government did not join the action. The complaint does not demand any specific monetary damages; however, a court ruling against the Company in this lawsuit could have a material adverse effect on its operating performance.
On September 11, 2001, a class action lawsuit seeking $100.0 million on behalf of approximately 10,000 citizens of Ecuador was filed against DynCorp International LLC and several of its former affiliates in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia. The action alleges personal injury, property damage and wrongful death as a consequence of the spraying of narcotic plant crops along the Colombian border adjacent to Ecuador. The spraying operations were and continue to be conducted under a DoS contract in cooperation with the Colombian government. The terms of the DoS contract provide that the DoS will indemnify DynCorp International LLC against third-party liabilities arising out of the contract, subject to available funding. The Company is also entitled to indemnification by Computer Sciences Corporation in connection with this lawsuit, subject to certain limitations. Additionally, any damage award would have to be apportioned between the other defendants and the Company.
U.S. Government Investigations
We also are occasionally the subject of investigations by various agencies of the U.S. government. Such investigations, whether related to our U.S. government contracts or conducted for other reasons, could result in administrative, civil or criminal liabilities, including repayments, fines or penalties being imposed upon us, or could lead to suspension or debarment from future U.S. government contracting.
On January 30, 2007, the Special Inspector General for Iraq Reconstruction, or SIGIR, issued a report on one of our task orders concerning the Iraqi Police Training Program (the “Training Program”). Among other items, the report raises questions about our work to establish a residential camp in Baghdad to house training personnel. Specifically, the SIGIR report recommends that DoS seek reimbursement from us of $4.2 million paid by the DoS for work that the SIGIR maintains was not contractually authorized. In addition, the SIGIR report recommends that the DoS request the Defense Contract Audit Agency (“DCAA”) to review two of our invoices totaling $19.1 million. On June 28, 2007, we received a letter from the DoS contracting officer requesting our repayment of approximately $4.0 million for work performed under this task order, which the letter claims was unauthorized. We responded to the DoS contracting officer in letters dated July 7, 2007 and September 4, 2007, explaining that the work for which we were paid by DoS was appropriately performed and denying DoS’ request for repayment of approximately $4.0 million. On October 23, 2007, the SIGIR issued an interim review of our expenditures under the contract for the Training Program. The SIGIR report generally describes contract management issues within the DoS adversely affecting, among other things, the DoS’ ability to provide a detailed accounting of our expenditures under the Training Program. Additionally, the report identifies specific expenditures arising from DoS reviews of our invoices under the Training Program which DoS has questioned or addressed with us. We believe that based on facts currently known, the foregoing matters will not have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial condition, results of operations or liquidity.

U.S. Government Audits
Our contracts are regularly audited by the DCAA and other government agencies. These agencies review our contract performance, cost structure and compliance with applicable laws, regulations and standards. The DCAA also reviews the adequacy of, and our compliance with, our internal control systems and policies, including our purchasing, property, estimating, compensation and management information systems. Any costs found to be improperly allocated to a specific contract will not be reimbursed. In addition, government contract payments received by us for allowable direct and indirect costs are subject to adjustment after audit by government auditors and repayment to the government if the payments exceed allowable costs as defined in the government contracts.
The Defense Contract Management Agency (“DCMA”) formally notified the Company of non-compliance with Cost Accounting Standard 403, Allocation of Home Office Expenses to Segments, on April 11, 2007. The Company issued a response to the DCMA on April 26, 2007 with a proposed solution to resolve the non-compliance, which related to the allocation of corporate general and administrative costs between the Company’s divisions. On August 13, 2007 DCMA notified the Company that additional information would be necessary to justify the proposed solution. The Company issued a response on September 17, 2007 and the matter is pending resolution. In management’s opinion and based on facts currently known, the above described matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial condition, results of operations or liquidity.
Note 8 — Shareholders’ Equity
Common Stock Repurchase
The Board of Directors has authorized the Company to repurchase up to $10.0 million of its outstanding common stock. The shares may be repurchased from time to time in open market conditions or through privately negotiated transactions at the Company’s discretion, subject to market conditions, and in accordance with applicable federal and state securities laws and regulations. Shares of stock repurchased under this plan will be held as treasury shares. The share repurchase program does not obligate the Company to acquire any particular amount of common stock and may be modified or suspended at any time at the Company’s discretion. The purchases will be funded from available working capital. No shares have been repurchased under this program through December 28, 2007.

Note 9 — Interest Rate Derivatives
At December 28, 2007, our derivative instruments consisted of three interest rate swap agreements, designated as cash flow hedges, that effectively fix the interest rate on the applicable notional amounts of our variable rate debt as follows (dollars in thousands):
                                 
            Fixed   Variable    
    Notional   Interest   Interest Rate    
Date Entered   Amount   Rate Paid*   Received   Expiration Date
April 2007
  $ 168,620       4.975 %   3-month LIBOR   May 2010
April 2007
  $ 31,380       4.975 %   3-month LIBOR   May 2010
September 2007
  $ 75,000       4.910 %   3-month LIBOR   September 2008
*   plus applicable margin (2.00% at December 28, 2007).
The fair value of the interest rate swap agreements was a liability of $5.5 million at December 28, 2007. Unrealized net loss from the changes in fair value of the interest rate swap agreements of $3.0 million, net of tax, for the nine months ended December 28, 2007 is included in other comprehensive income (loss). There was no material impact on earnings due to hedge ineffectiveness for the three and nine months ended December 28, 2007.
Note 10 — Equity-Based Compensation
Class B Equity
For a more detailed description of the Company’s Class B equity-based compensation, see Note 12, Equity-Based Compensation, to the consolidated financial statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on June 18, 2007.
The Company’s Class B equity-based compensation is accounted for under SFAS No. 123(R), “Share-Based Payment”. Under this method, the Company recorded Class B equity-based compensation expense of $1.1 million and $0.5 million for the three months ended December 28, 2007 and December 29, 2006, respectively, and $3.4 million and $1.5 million for the nine months ended December 28, 2007 and December 29, 2006, respectively.
Assuming each grant of Class B equity outstanding as of December 28, 2007 fully vests, the Company will recognize additional non-cash compensation expense as follows (in thousands):
         
Three month period ended March 28, 2008
  $ 784

2007 Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan
In August 2007, the Company’s shareholders approved the adoption of the Company’s 2007 Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan (“2007 Plan”). Under the 2007 Plan, there are 2,250,000 of the Company’s authorized shares of Class A common stock reserved for issuance (subject to adjustment as per certain events set forth in the 2007 Plan). The 2007 Plan provides for the grant of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock and other share-based awards and provides that the Compensation Committee, which administers the 2007 Plan, may also make awards of performance shares, performance units or performance cash incentives subject to the satisfaction of specified performance criteria to be established by the Compensation Committee prior to the applicable grant date. Employees of the Company or its subsidiaries and non-employee members of the Board are eligible to be selected to participate in the 2007 Plan at the discretion of the Compensation Committee.
In December 2007, the Compensation Committee approved the grant of Restricted Stock Units (“RSUs”) to certain key employees (“Participants”) of the Company. The grants were made pursuant to the terms and conditions of the 2007 Plan and are subject to award agreements between the Company and each Participant. Participants vest in RSUs ratably over the corresponding service term, generally one to three years. The RSUs have assigned value equivalent to the Company’s common stock and may be settled in cash or shares of the Company’s common stock at the discretion of the Compensation Committee. The estimated fair value of the RSUs was approximately $3.0 million, net of estimated forfeitures, based on the closing market price of the Company’s stock on the grant date.

Outstanding, December 28, 2007
    147,150     $ 21.19  
 
           
In accordance with SFAS No. 123(R) and Company policy, the Company recognizes compensation expense related to the RSUs on a graded vesting schedule over the requisite service period, net of estimated forfeitures.
The RSUs have been determined to be liability awards; therefore, the fair value of the RSUs will be remeasured at each financial reporting date as long as they remain liability awards. The estimated fair value of the RSUs was approximately $3.7 million, net of estimated forfeitures, based on the closing market price of the Company’s stock on December 28, 2007. Compensation expense related to RSUs was approximately $0.2 million for the three and nine months ended December 28, 2007. No RSUs were vested at December 28, 2007.
Assuming the RSUs outstanding, net of estimated forfeitures, as of December 28, 2007 fully vest, the Company will recognize the related compensation expense as follows (in thousands):

Note 11 — Segment Information
The Company’s operations are aligned into two divisions, each of which constitutes a reporting segment: Government Services (“GS”) and Maintenance and Technical Support Services (“MTSS”). GS primarily provides outsourced law enforcement training, drug eradication, construction management, global logistics, base operations and personal and physical security services to government and commercial customers in foreign jurisdictions. MTSS provides long-term aviation services and engineering and logistics support, ranging from daily fleet maintenance to extensive modification and overhauls on aircraft, weapons systems and support equipment, both domestically and internationally.
During the three months ended June 29, 2007, certain contracts were reclassified between segments. All prior year revenues and operating income related to these contracts were reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. The reclassifications had no impact on our consolidated results of operations, financial position or cash flows. The following is a summary of the financial information of the reportable segments reconciled to the amounts reported in the condensed consolidated financial statements (in thousands).

CURRENT OPERATING CONDITIONS AND OUTLOOK
Over most of the last two decades, the U.S. government has been increasing its reliance on the private sector for a wide range of professional and support services. This increased use of outsourcing by the U.S. government has been driven by a variety of factors: lean-government initiatives launched in the 1990s; surges in demand during times of national crisis; the increased complexity of missions; the transformation of the U.S. military to focus on the war-fighter efforts and the loss of skills within the government caused by workforce reductions and retirements. We believe that the U.S. government’s growing mission and continued human capital challenges have combined to create a new market dynamic, one that is less directly reflective of overall government budgets and more reflective of the ongoing shift of service delivery from the federal workforce to private sector providers.
In addition to the increase in government spending on outsourcing, particularly among our customers, our end-markets are also growing. The DoD budget for fiscal 2008, excluding supplemental funding relating to operations in Iraq and Afghanistan, has been enacted at $459 billion, representing a 60% increase over fiscal 2001. This growth is expected to continue, with the DoD forecasting its annual budget to grow to over $538.4 billion (excluding supplemental funding) by fiscal 2012. The fiscal 2008 DoS and Other International Programs budget is approximately $35.0 billion, representing a 60% increase over fiscal 2001. Services included in this budget include law enforcement training, eradication of international narcotics, certain contingency services, international peacekeeping, and security services. Similarly, there has been significant growth in the Department of Homeland Security budget which is estimated at $39.8 billion for fiscal 2008, which represents a 12% CAGR since fiscal 2002 for the Department of Homeland Security and its predecessor entities.
We believe the following industry trends will further increase demand and enable us to more successfully compete for outsourced services in our target markets:
    Transformation of military forces, leading to increases in outsourcing of non-combat functions;
    Increased level and frequency of overseas deployment and peace-keeping operations for the DoS, DoD and United Nations;
    Growth in U.S. military budget driven by increased operations and maintenance spending;
    Increased maintenance, overhaul and upgrade needs to support aging military platforms;
    Increased reliance on private contractors to perform life-cycle asset management functions ranging from organizational to depot level maintenance;
    Increased opportunities to support foreign governments in providing a wide spectrum of maintenance, supply support, facilities management and construction management-related services; and
    Shift to more multiple award Indefinite Delivery, Indefinite Quantity (“IDIQ”) contracts.
Recent Developments
Global Linguist Solutions LLC
In December 2007, Global Linguist Solutions LLC ( “GLS”), a joint venture of DynCorp International and McNeil Technologies, was again awarded the Intelligence and Security Command (“INSCOM”) contract by the U.S. Army for the management of linguist and translation services in support of the military mission known as Operation Iraqi Freedom (“OIF”).
This five year contract, with a maximum value of $4.6 billion and a current awarded value of $3.5 billion, was originally awarded in December 2006. The Army terminated the first award for convenience after the Government Accountability Office sustained a protest filed by the incumbent. INSCOM subsequently requested and reviewed revised proposals and again awarded the contract to GLS. The incumbent protested this second award and the Army decided to take corrective action, resulting in dismissal of the second protest. Consequently, the Army is implementing a corrective action plan which will result in a new award decision.

Under the contract, GLS will provide rapid recruitment, deployment, and on-site management of interpreters and translators in-theater for a wide range of foreign languages. This effort will support the U.S. Army, its unified commands, attached forces, combined forces, and joint elements executing the OIF mission, and other U.S. Government agencies supporting the OIF mission. The foreign language interpretation and translation services provided by GLS under this contract will allow OIF forces to communicate with the local populace, gather information for force protection, and interact with other foreign military units. GLS will employ up to 7,500 locally-hired translators and up to 1,500 U. S. citizens with security clearances who are fluent in the languages spoken in Iraq.
Contract Structure
Our government contracts have three distinct pricing structures: cost-reimbursable, time-and-material and fixed-price. Fixed-price contracts are for a fixed sum to cover all costs and any profit element for a defined scope of work, while time-and-material contracts include a fixed labor rate per hour or per day. We assume additional financial risk on fixed-price and time-and-material contracts because we assume the risk of performing those contracts at the stipulated prices or negotiated hourly/daily rates, respectively. While fixed-price and time-and-material contracts involve greater risk, they also are potentially more profitable for us, since the customer pays a premium to transfer many risks to us. With cost-reimbursement contracts, so long as actual costs incurred are within the contract funding and allowable under the terms of the contract, we are entitled to reimbursement of the costs plus a stipulated fee and an additional award fee for some contracts. Cost-reimbursable contracts are generally less risky to us since the customer retains many of the risks; therefore, are typically less profitable than fixed-price and time-and-material contracts. Effective during the three months ended September 28, 2007, certain portions of our Civilian Police Program, or CIVPOL, contract with the DoS transitioned from fixed-price to cost-reimbursable. As such, our margins on those portions of the contract could be reduced going forward.
BACKLOG
We track contracted backlog in order to assess our current business development effectiveness and to assist us in forecasting our future business needs and financial performance. Backlog consists of orders and priced options under our contracts. We define contracted backlog as the estimated value of contracts, including contract modifications received from customers that have not been recognized as revenue. Our backlog consists of funded and unfunded amounts. Funded backlog is based upon amounts actually appropriated by a customer for payment of goods and services less actual revenue recorded as of the measurement date under that appropriation. Unfunded backlog is the actual dollar value of unexercised contract options. Most of our U.S. government contracts allow the customer the option to extend the period of performance of a contract for a period of one or more years. These options may be exercised at the sole discretion of the customer. Historically, it has been our experience that the customer has exercised contract options.
Firm funding for our contracts is usually made for one year at a time, with the remainder of the contract period consisting of a series of one-year options. As is the case with the base period of our U.S. government contracts, option periods are subject to the availability of funding for contract performance. The U.S. government is legally prohibited from ordering work under a contract in the absence of funding.
The following table sets forth our approximate contracted backlog as of the dates indicated (in millions):

Table of Contents

The increase in unfunded backlog is primarily due to backlog related to GLS. The decrease in funded backlog is primarily due to the timing of task orders and the partial funding of exercised contract options. The timing of new contract awards and task orders, as well as if contract option years are funded all at once or incrementally can cause backlog fluctuations between periods.
As of December 28, 2007 and March 30, 2007, the backlog related to GLS was $3.5 billion and $3.3 billion, respectively, and is included in the table above. Our backlog and estimated remaining contract value metrics may require future adjustment depending on the outcome of the Army’s corrective action and new award decision.
ESTIMATED REMAINING CONTRACT VALUE
Our estimated remaining contract value represents total backlog plus management’s estimate of future revenues under IDIQ contracts that have not been funded, or award term periods that have not yet been earned. These future revenues would be our estimate of revenue that would occur from the end of currently funded task orders until the end of the IDIQ contracts. Our estimated remaining contract value is based on our experience under contracts, and we believe our estimates are reasonable. However, there can be no assurance that our existing contracts will result in actual revenues in any particular period or at all. These amounts could vary or even change significantly depending upon government policies, government budgets, appropriations and the outcome of protested contract awards. The following table sets forth our estimated remaining contract value as of the dates indicated (in millions):
                 
    Dec. 28, 2007     March 30, 2007  
GS Estimated Remaining Contract Value
  $ 6,954     $ 7,591  
MTSS Estimated Remaining Contract Value

Operating income for the nine months ended December 28, 2007, increased $26.4 million or 37.4% as compared with the nine months ended December 29, 2006. The increase, as more fully described in the reportable segment discussions below, is primarily due to improved contract performance, higher revenue volumes, lower depreciation and amortization expense and lower SG&A. Factors contributing to the decreased SG&A included: (i) severance and initial public offering related expenses incurred during the first six months of fiscal 2007; and (ii) employee-related costs incurred in the prior year due to the development of in-house capabilities; offset by (i) cost incurred in fiscal 2008 related to our Sarbanes-Oxley compliance preparation; and (ii) general SG&A costs necessary to support the current and anticipated growth of the Company’s business. The lower depreciation and amortization expense is primarily due to certain intangible assets that were fully amortized in the prior fiscal year and an impairment charge incurred in the prior fiscal year related to a customer-related intangible asset.
Interest expense: Interest expense for the three and nine months ended December 28, 2007, decreased $0.5 million and $1.8 million, respectively, as compared with the three and nine months ended December 29, 2006. The decreases were primarily due to lower average debt outstanding in the three and nine months ended December 28, 2007, as compared with the three and nine months ended December 29, 2006. The interest expense incurred relates to our credit facility, senior subordinated notes and amortization of deferred financing fees.
Interest on mandatory redeemable shares: Interest on the mandatory redeemable shares, or preferred stock, was $3.0 million for the nine months ended December 29, 2006. All of our outstanding preferred stock was redeemed in connection with our initial public offering in the first quarter of fiscal 2007.
Loss on debt extinguishment and preferred stock: In conjunction with our initial public offering in the first quarter of fiscal 2007, we incurred: (i) a premium of $5.7 million associated with the redemption of all of our outstanding preferred stock; (ii) a premium of $2.7 million related to the redemption of a portion of our senior subordinated notes; and (iii) the write-off of $0.8 million in deferred financing costs associated with the early retirement of a portion of our senior subordinated notes.
Provision for income taxes: Our effective tax rate of 36.8% for the three months ended December 28, 2007 decreased from a tax rate of 39.7% for the three months ended December 29, 2006. Included in the effective tax rate for the three months ended December 29, 2006 is a permanent difference related to interest on mandatory redeemable shares occurring during the three months ended June 30, 2006. The effective tax rate before consideration of this permanent difference was 36.3%. Our effective tax rate of 36.5% for the nine months ended December 28, 2007 decreased from an effective tax rate of 51.6% for the nine months ended December 29, 2006. The high effective tax rate for the nine months ended December 29, 2006 relates to the redemption of our mandatory redeemable shares outstanding. In connection with our initial public offering in May 2006, we redeemed, at a premium, all of our mandatory redeemable shares outstanding. The premium was considered a discreet item for income tax purposes and was not deductible. The effective tax rate before consideration of the discreet item was 36.3%.

    net new business growth, primarily related to work performed for the U.S. Army’s Threat System Management Office, in the Aviation and Maintenance service line — $4.0 million; and
 
    lower corporate expense allocation — $0.6 million.
offset by:
    a temporary decrease in personnel and level of services provided under the Field Service Operations service line — $1.2 million.

Nine Months Ended December 28, 2007 Compared To Nine Months Ended December 29, 2006
Revenue — Revenue for the nine months ended December 28, 2007 increased $28.4 million, or 5.5%, as compared to the nine months ended December 29, 2006. The increase primarily reflected the following:
    the variability of time between overhauls on engines and propellers performed under the LCCS program and new business growth, primarily related to a new contract under which we provide logistic support services to the U.S. Air Force C-21 fleet, in the Contract Logistics Support service line — $23.4 million; and
    net new business growth, primarily related to work performed for the U.S. Army’s Threat System Management Office, in the Aviation and Maintenance service line — $27.8 million.
offset by:
    a temporary decrease in personnel and level of services provided under the Field Service Operations service line — $22.8 million.
Operating Income — Operating income for the nine months ended December 28, 2007 increased $16.5 million to $18.3 million from $1.8 million for the nine months ended December 29, 2006. The increase primarily reflected the following:
    improved operating performance on services provided to the U.S. Army under the LCCS program and CSS program in the Contract Logistics Support service line — $10.0 million;
    net new business growth, primarily related to work performed for the U.S. Army’s Threat System Management Office, in the Aviation and Maintenance service line — $6.9 million; and
    lower corporate expense allocation, primarily due to one-time costs incurred in the prior year related to severance expenses for certain former executives and bonus compensation associated with the Company’s initial public offering- $4.0 million.
offset by:
    a temporary decrease in personnel and level of services provided under the Field Service Operations service line — $4.4 million.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Cash generated by operations and borrowings available under our senior credit facility are our primary sources of short-term liquidity. Based on our current level of operations, we believe our cash flow from operations and our available borrowings under our credit facility will be adequate to meet our liquidity needs for at least the next twelve months. However, to support growth related to potential contract awards and task orders that could occur in the next twelve months, we may require additional financing beyond that currently provided by our senior credit facility. We are currently evaluating our available financing options, which generally are on terms acceptable to the Company, although potentially at higher than current costs due to market conditions. We believe these options will provide us with the financial flexibility to support our expected growth and related working capital requirements. However, there can be no assurance that sufficient debt financing will continue to be available in the future or that it will be available on terms acceptable to the Company. Failure to obtain sufficient capital could materially affect the Company’s operations in the short term and hinder expansion strategies.

Cash used by operating activities for the nine months ended December 28, 2007 was $49.2 million, a decrease of $95.0 million, compared to $45.8 million of cash provided for the nine months ended December 29, 2006. The cash used by operating activities in the nine months ended December 28, 2007 was primarily due to unfavorable conditions relating to working capital, primarily accounts receivable. The increase in the accounts receivable balance was due to the temporary delay in cash collections from the DoS, primarily due to accounting, process and system changes within the DoS. Operating cash flow for the nine months ended December 29, 2006 benefited from the timing of payroll processing, interest payments and customer advances.
Cash used by investing activities was $7.2 million for the nine months ended December 28, 2007 compared to cash used of $5.4 million for the nine months ended December 29, 2006. The increase in cash used by investing activities was primarily due to a permanent investment in an unconsolidated equity investee.
Cash used by financing activities was $32.4 million for the nine months ended December 28, 2007 compared to cash used of $5.6 million for the nine months ended December 29, 2006. The cash used by financing activities during the nine months ended December 28, 2007 was primarily related to the repayment of borrowings under our term loans of $37.1 million, net repayments made under other financing arrangements of $9.0 million, and was offset by borrowings under our revolving line of credit of $13.5 million. The cash used during the nine months ended December 29, 2006 included: (i) gross proceeds received from the initial public offering of $375.0 million; (ii) payment of initial public offering costs of $30.0 million; (iii) partial redemption of senior subordinated notes of $31.4 million, including accrued interest; (iv) redemption of all outstanding preferred stock and related accrued and unpaid interest of $221.8 million; and (v) payment of special Class B distribution of $100.0 million.
Financing
As of December 28, 2007, $13.5 million was outstanding under our revolving credit facility and $301.9 million was outstanding under our term loans. Our available borrowing capacity under the revolving credit facility, totaled $65.5 million at December 28, 2007, which gives effect to $24.0 million of outstanding letters of credit and $13.5 million outstanding under the revolving credit line. The weighted-average interest rate at December 28, 2007 for our borrowings under the credit facility was approximately 7.0%.
We are required, under certain circumstances as defined in our credit agreement, to make the Excess Cash Flow Payment. Such payments are due at the end of the first quarter of the following fiscal year. As a result, we made payments of approximately $34.6 million on the term loans during the first quarter of fiscal 2008 related to the Excess Cash Flow Payment for the fiscal year ended March 30, 2007. The Excess Cash Flow Payment is an annual requirement under the credit agreement, and we cannot estimate with certainty what the Excess Cash Flow Payment will be, if any, for the fiscal year ended March 28, 2008.
As of December 28, 2007, $292.0 million of principal amount was outstanding under our senior subordinated notes. Our senior subordinated notes mature February 2013. Interest accrues on our senior subordinated notes and is payable semi-annually.
Principal payments on our credit facilities and senior subordinated notes based on outstanding borrowings as of December 28, 2007 are expected to be approximately $14.2 million for the remainder of fiscal 2008, $3.9 million in fiscal 2009, $3.1 million in fiscal 2010, $294.2 million in fiscal 2011, none in fiscal 2012, and $292.0 million in the fiscal years thereafter.
We entered into interest rate swap agreements to hedge our exposure to cash flows related to our credit facility. These agreements are more fully described in Note 9 to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report.
In January 2008, the Company obtained an additional commitment from a lender which increased the revolving credit facility to $120.0 million.
Debt Covenants and Other Matters
Our credit facility contains various financial covenants, including minimum levels of earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”), minimum interest and fixed charge coverage ratios, and maximum capital expenditures and total leverage ratio. Non-financial covenants restrict the ability of the Company and its subsidiaries to dispose of assets; incur additional indebtedness, prepay other indebtedness or amend certain debt instruments; pay dividends; create liens on assets; enter into sale and leaseback transactions; make investments, loans or advances; issue certain equity instruments; make acquisitions; engage in mergers or consolidations or engage in certain transactions with affiliates; and otherwise restrict certain corporate activities. We were in compliance with the financial and non-financial covenants at December 28, 2007.

OFF BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS
The Company’s off-balance sheet arrangements relate to letters of credit and operating lease obligations, which are discussed in Note 6 and Note 7, respectively, to the condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report. The off-balance sheet arrangements are excluded from the balance sheet in accordance with GAAP.
ACCOUNTING DEVELOPMENTS
We have presented the information about accounting pronouncements not yet implemented in Note 1 to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES
Management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations are based on our condensed consolidated financial statements and related footnotes contained within this Quarterly Report. Our more critical accounting estimates used in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements were discussed in our 2007 Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 30, 2007, filed with the SEC on June 18, 2007. These critical estimates, for which no significant changes have occurred in the nine months ended December 28, 2007, include:
    Revenue Recognition and Cost Estimation on Long-Term Contracts;
 
    Allowance for Doubtful Accounts;
 
    Property and Equipment;
 
    Impairment of Long-Lived Assets, including Amortized Intangibles;
 
    Indefinite Lived Assets;
 
    Income Taxes;
 
    Equity-Based Compensation;
 
    Fair Values of Financial Instruments; and
 
    Currency Translation.
The process of preparing financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires the use of estimates and assumptions to determine certain of the assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. These estimates and assumptions are based upon what we believe is the best information available at the time of the estimates or assumptions. The estimates and assumptions could change materially as conditions within and beyond our control change. Accordingly, actual results could differ materially from those estimates.
